- He trips you when you're carrying a bucket of water and laughs a lot about it. And if you leave soup or porridge outside, he'll pee in it and it will spoil. And if you don't go to bed on time or don't do your homework, he'll make you bored, - Mira nodded knowingly. - Our cook called him Zlovred. He caused a lot of trouble.
Note from Zamia Zun "I was always clumsy and socially awkward, and communicating with other people was difficult for me – I struggled to put my thoughts into words, and traits like submissiveness and shyness made me a laughingstock among my peers. In Lily society, where a woman is primarily a leader and manager, such behavior on my part only evoked pity or contempt from those around me. And yet, even someone like me was lucky enough to find a loved one. After the occupation of Aeolia eight years ago, I met Mainhard Filssegger, an officer in the armed forces of Dithlind, who was sent to Arven to maintain order, quite by chance. He was strong, gentle, reliable, and very passionate in his feelings, whether it was love or devotion to his duty. He was the complete opposite of someone useless like me, and yet... He loved me for who I was. The time I spent with him was the happiest in my life, but over the years, our relationship faced certain obstacles – due to his duties, he had to return home, and we began to see each other rarely and far from the city – by the lake, because the appearance of a high-ranking officer in the area where Queen Celestia was under house arrest created certain difficulties for everyone involved in the life of this city.
On that fateful day, as we had done many times before, we were supposed to meet by the lake and spend a couple of hours together – I didn't want to leave my shop for too long and cause inconvenience to my customers, and he couldn't afford more free time, but when I went into the forest, something went wrong. Mainhard was apparently delayed, and instead, I was met by those I wanted to see the least... I remember being tied to a tree, stones being thrown at me, insults being hurled... and many other things. This hell ended only with the appearance of Mukus Mun, the consort of Queen Celestia, who is respected throughout Arven. With a firm hand, but a gentle will, he taught my tormentors a lesson, freed me, and tried to provide medical assistance, and then everything became a blur... From the sudden relief, I apparently lost consciousness. When I woke up, I wished I hadn't woken up at all. According to the words of Mainhard's killers, he and Mukus had some kind of disagreement, which led to a conflict between them, but could it really be that way? Why would they need to fight, for what reason? Both, although strong warriors, had tender hearts...
Be that as it may, after coming to my senses, I realized that I don't want to continue living without my beloved, and therefore I plan to leave this world and leave my shop and all its contents to the Temple of Superbia in gratitude for their care."
The Arven incident is still under investigation, but the deeper the detectives dig, the more confusing everything becomes. In the first days after this event became known, the most popular theory was the version of a conflict between the occupier and the victim of the occupation, but the investigation of the identity of the murdered knight refuted this theory. Colonel Mainhard Filssegger, in addition to his duties in the armed forces of Dithlind, was also the leader of the "Koexistenz" Faction, which advocated for the coexistence of different peoples, including demons, and therefore it is difficult to imagine what kind of conflict he could have with someone like Mukus Mun, known for his patriotism and peacefulness. So far, readers are inclined to believe that both men were vying for the heart of Zamia Zun, but some think that there may not have been any duel between them at all.

— Yes, that's him. Also, he's a big opponent of technology and sometimes brings trees to life to teach a lesson to the inhabitants of cities where scientific progress is most noticeable. They are also called Mischief-Trees, only this time with a lowercase letter. They are quite dangerous creatures, but their bark can be used to make magical scrolls and books, and therefore is very useful for people in my profession. Look, here. Misha opens the encyclopedia to one of the pages and shows Mira.
Mischief-Tree Damage: 200, paralysis, injury. Range: 5 Health: 1500 Defense: 100 Accuracy: 10 Evasion: 0 Speed: 10 Will: 30 OD: 0 Curses everyone who is more than 5 tiles away from it (all rolls are minimal, 50% chance of a critical failure of any action). Poisons everyone within 5 tiles of it.
The person with such an unusual pseudonym turned out to be a woman. Upon seeing Jürgen, she said nothing, deciding not to be distracted from her work.
At first, Jürgen was a little disappointed to see a woman in the role of master, as men usually turn out to be more skilled craftsmen who can actually teach something, but here... Then the warrior remembered that the advertisement didn't even mention what they would be doing. Could it be sewing or something similar? Such assumptions made him slightly nervous, but the thought that he could always refuse if necessary quickly calmed the Ditlindian. Then Jürgen caught himself thinking that he had been standing there silently all this time, while the woman hadn't said anything either. Was she some kind of arrogant shrew, or worse? And how long would she remain silent if he didn't say anything? Various thoughts began to plague the warrior, but he pulled himself together and returned to the present. - Good day, I'm here about the advertisement. Are you looking for an apprentice?
If the quantity isn't specified, does that mean the items are available in a single copy?
And I think I should have more experience after the first act (including the medallion).
In Boreas, they are reusable. In Sails, they are single-use. In Magograd, they are single-use except for Pururuta. In Toska, they are reusable. In Wind, they are reusable.
Hmm, if I had one more, I'd say it's an easy opponent for two Coreleis... Although it depends on the random chance. However, I'm afraid there will be more than one, or maybe Zlovred with a capital "Z" will suddenly appear...
- And how do they usually deal with such a fearsome creature? - tilting her head, Miroluba thoughtfully stroked her chin. - He can knock the spirit out of anyone who approaches with a single blow. He probably casts some nasty curses too.

— Yes, I want to pass on the skills of this workshop to someone else before closing it and moving on. The craft involves, um, legalizing illegally obtained property. Do you think you can handle it? (★)

- And how do they usually deal with such a monster? - Mirolyuba thoughtfully stroked her chin, tilting her head. - He'll knock the life out of anyone who approaches with a single slap. He probably casts some nasty curses too.
— Find someone agile with high resistance to toxic substances and hope for the best? - Misha also pondered. - I've also heard stories in which a priestess of Luxuria defeated them, but... - The head of Magograd blushed slightly. - I can't recommend that...
- Toxic? Does it release spores or something?Author
— I've also heard stories about them being defeated by a priestess of Luxuria, but... — The head of Magograd blushed slightly. — I can't recommend that...
- Ooh, what's the method? I don't have a priestess friend, but maybe I can adapt it somehow, - Mira prepared to jot down the method in her mental notebook.
- Toxic? Does it release spores or something?- Ooh, and what's the method? I don't have a priestess friend, but maybe I can adapt it somehow," Mira prepared to jot down the method in her mental notebook.
Misha blushed even more and, instead of a verbal answer, looked for another book, this time with illustrations of how advanced followers of Luxuria "tame" various creatures, and showed it to Mira.
Added 30 seconds ago + She was so flustered that she forgot to answer about the spores.
