— The stench of demonic evil wafts from your friend's dwelling, — he explained, — that's why we attacked you... But if I regret anything, it's only that the demonic spawn survived...

Anders stood silently and listened as he was showered with insults. What could he do? Argue that, thanks to his efforts, human lives were saved, and that he made a generous donation to the church? It's unlikely anyone would listen or believe him. Retaliate with insults? That would only confirm that all the accusations against demon worshipers were true. So he had to stand silently and watch.

Veserod sniffed the air coming from the "demonic abomination." "It smells pretty normal... You're not exactly a delicate flower yourself. Months on the road, then weeks at the mill..." The hunter sighed and shook his head. "By the way, I'm no expert, but isn't this against your beliefs? You're the first aggressive brute hiding behind the name of a goddess that I've seen; all the others I knew were decent people. But never mind. Forget about the stench and intolerance for a second. We're the local guard, catching border violators and those who disturb the peace. Who are you, and what's your purpose here?"

He snorts and falls silent.

I can suggest talking to him myself, without Anders (let him stand outside for a while). But I agree that things are heading towards an execution, unfortunately. I really don't want to risk anything with Anders.

— Artery smiles as it looks at me, demon worshiper! Can you say the same about your cat?

You talk a big game, but in reality, you're just a simple executioner.

- Come on, think logically! - Veserod insists and explains, using gestures. - Let's say you're completely in the right here. If you say nothing, we can, firstly, execute you on the spot for attacking the guards. Secondly, we can take you to the dungeon. Do you know what they do in dungeons? They do things that even the goddess would turn a blind eye to, because it's unpleasant to watch. And in the end, you'll confess, and you'll be released. So what - you'll just waste time, suffer damage, and for what? Because you hesitated at that moment. Is it worth it?... And now - what if you're trespassers? Then it will be the same, only you definitely won't be leaving the dungeon. And again, you'll waste extra time just to suffer more. Is it worth it? - Veserod suddenly changed his expression and took a step back from the fanatic. - Or are you one of those...? One of *them*?

— No, think about it logically! You won't find peace in a world where demon worshippers can crawl out of closets and walk around in broad daylight. As long as you protect this fallen man, you won't find peace in any country! And what exactly are you suggesting?

- Forget about him, damn it! You're trying to escape reality by shifting the conversation to him. What's done is done. Whether he's here or not, your situation doesn't change. Imagine he's standing behind a curtain, and you've fallen ill with a strange disease and lost your sense of smell. He's not here, and you didn't attack us; you just encountered us. The question remains: who are you, and what are you doing here? This is a legitimate question; these are the rules of this land. No matter who you are, someone might ask you, and you should answer if you're not from around here. If I – or anyone – comes to your home, you'll ask the same question and have the right to know. So?

– Listen, maybe you could take a walk and keep watch for a bit? If it's not too much trouble, – Gulveig whispered to her brother, hoping that would make the conversation flow a little better.

“Hey, buddy,” he says to Anders, “just think about it… Because of you, all of your companions might end up getting hanged, if not by us, then by the authorities of this country or any other… Think about the guys, save their lives – shoot yourself in the head with your crossbow.”

- He'll shoot, he'll shoot, - Veserod redirects the prisoner's attention. - Stop squirming like a louse on a comb! Do you have any male or even human dignity? Just speak.

Gullveig takes Anders by the hand and leads him out of the building. "Let's not listen to and watch this," she said with irritation in her voice, as they got out of earshot of the rest of the group and the inquisitors.

-- Let's not listen to and watch this, both of you, -- she said with irritation in her voice, as they got out of earshot of the rest of the group and the inquisitors.

Anders wanted to say something to the Arterian, but Gulya beat him to it:
-Oooooo - he stretched out already on the street - you have such tender and soft hands...

- He'll shoot, he'll shoot," Veserod returns the prisoner's attention. "Stop squirming like a louse on a comb! Do you have any male or human dignity? Just speak.

— What more can I tell you? You say you are a guard of this land, but you don't even know what your mistress is doing, judging by the questions you ask. We are not residents anyway, we won't die at your hand, nor will we be affected by the city guard when we cross the city limits.
