Burn for 4 turns.

And it's like level 3, or something else?

- Damn! - throwing away the flamethrower, Karlsson comically danced in place, trying to shake off the napalm and knock it to the ground. - Oh-oh-oh! You little rascal!... It's leaking, you bastard! - he complained to the inventor.

— Sigh, — When they finished their task, Kotori looked around worriedly, — I still need to figure out where to stay for the night, and I forgot to find a suitable place because of these monsters.

- You could spend the night in the church. But first, you need to ask permission from the local priest. And if you're not used to such conditions, this option won't be suitable for you.

— If the walls keep out the wind, there's a place to lie down, and the men don't get out of hand, then in the current situation, even that will be enough for me.

-- This year's tournament promises to be even more interesting than usual. For the first time, there will be a delegation from Ardor, and what's more, their emperor intends to compete personally. He has already challenged King Divef, although at the latter's age, this is somewhat... risky. And what does this mean, and why did their church approve of it? Is it an attempt by the empire to establish contact, or, on the contrary, to intimidate us? It is not yet known what this will lead to, -- the count paused, lost in thought. Now, when he is not standing at the arena, stern and formidable, but sitting, furrowing his brow in contemplation, the count seems much older to Ruven than he did at their first meeting. -- And we should certainly not disappoint. For now, I am not at all pleased with what I see among the knights or the squires. In three weeks, I intend to hold a small competition with the participation of, hmm, outsiders. After that, there will be only a couple of days left before the departure for Divef.

-- However, Ruven, this is not the only reason why I summoned foreigners here. There are some things I cannot ask my own people to do, and there are some tasks where I will need... capable individuals. Are you ready for such work?
