Remembering that Anselm had been bragging for the past couple of weeks about how he bought his pet with an incredibly large discount, Ilva decided to ask him to introduce her to the merchant.

- Yes, thank you... - Veserod glanced around the bookstore again. - And regarding the merchandise... How can I put it...
He paused for a moment to formulate his thought.
- I don't like to read and I rarely do... But at the same time... I can't deny the effectiveness of this method. So, if I do pick up a book, it's only one that I need, and when there's no other way. Otherwise, I'd rather spend my time doing something myself... You understand?... And as for these... Well... - he gestured to the items of a lewd nature (that is, almost everything). - To be honest... Personally, I wouldn't spend my hard-earned money on them... Sorry... - he shrugged apologetically.

After finishing his drinks, Renold, in high spirits, bought 15 chips and went to the roulette table.

With a weary heart, Veserod returns to Rahit.
— I don't know what's going on in your city, but it was tough, — he says gloomily, placing a questionnaire on the table. — No one wants to talk about anything except their immediate problems, and even those are reluctantly mentioned. Who has demoralized the population so much?..

The questionnaire contained partially formulated opinions, of course, without any indication of the authors or any indirect clues that a discerning reader could use to guess their identities:
1. Two Zoomers. Although Veserod hasn't seen or interviewed them since, he could conclude from their suspicious behavior and overheard conversation that they at least strongly approve of the rabbit farm's activities, and therefore the development of a new Serberian entertainment business and its overall intervention in the affairs of this territory (the newspaper is lying around somewhere, and I don't remember what's written in it, so they approve of whatever is written).
2. A merchant from the cauldron. This one said that the interviewed segment of the population, in turn, does not approve of the new order, is quite against the idea of dispossessing the newly emerged upstarts, and even experiences a form of nostalgic feeling for the old administration, which was closer to the people and did not cause such emotional rejection due to its excessive ostentation and arrogance.
3. An amoeba from Vespyr. The person behind the counter believes that everything is proceeding as it should, determined by the historical and cultural context of this territory; the opinion of the common people does not matter, and whatever the higher-ups decide, that's how it will be, and there's no point in worrying about it; it's enough to just survive until tomorrow. Furthermore, this view is partly due to the fact that he noticed similarities between the old and the new regimes, and therefore the political discourse as a whole does not have much meaning.
4. A librarian. Her view is partly similar to that of the amoeba, in the sense that she looks at this issue even more detachedly and fatalistically — everything that is happening is determined by historical and economic patterns, and she is not interested in politics at all, as long as there is some kind of activity that helps her earn a living.
5. The Governor-General himself — the authoritative tone of the message expressed not even hope, but absolute, one hundred percent confidence in the fact that the previous government was a completely incompetent body that allowed crime to flourish for decades, completely merging it with the local way of life, and causing economic decline. Fortunately, Serberia will soon finally restore order here, and citizens will be able to breathe much easier and live more comfortably.

— You understand, these are all just rumors... No one will say anything like that directly... Some people are not interested and do not understand... So, you should filter it through several sieves.
