The new acquaintance doesn't stop him.

Overall, I suggest that Jürgen, and then Ashur (once he learns the skill, but then he can work on all our gear), work on the knight's armor and sword. I propose giving the armor to Tao, as he is our weak melee fighter with low dodge and no decent armor. I suggest either selling the sword or giving it to Lance. It's somewhat stronger than his own sword in most situations (at least until he gets his ultimate skill), although I'm not sure how often it will be useful. I suggest selling the key. As well as the demonic gear (their armor, bow, and saber) along with the clubs. I would keep the claymore for myself as a backup weapon. Theoretically, the saber could also be kept.

Tao's old hat and armor, which he apparently can't use (because they are gray), can be put on Lance. Of course, only if the Hero doesn't mind. In the meantime, let's find out how much we can get for the key, the demonic gear (which can be sold), and the knight's sword, taking into account Ashur's ability. Of course, Jürgen will have already worked on the sword by that time, and if the craftsman skill affects the price, so will Ashur. We also improve the other gear for sale with his ability, if the price changes as a result.

I don't mind

since he's a bit weak

I hope it doesn't need further explanation, but since I didn't accept the duel, the pendulum and robe remained with their respective owners.

— Junk, but some of it might come in handy.

On the 28th, I'm going to the hospital in the morning. I don't know if they'll let me go home after filling out the paperwork, and the next day they'll be operating on my hand, so I might be unavailable during that time, and then we'll see how it goes.

Ashur approached the altar and stared at it with a vacant gaze. He was pale, his lips tightly pressed together, and his face resembled a stone mask. Wrinkles were clearly visible on his perspiring forehead; he looked as if he had aged ten years. With trembling hands, the man rummaged through his pockets but found no coins – all his money had remained with the bandits. Ramon, who had been unusually quiet during the conversation with Diref, stirred again, but this time, his master did not react.
— Avaritia, give me strength...,” he whispered barely audibly with stiff lips.
But instead of the altar, Diref’s face still loomed before his eyes, his cruel smile. Ashur lowered his head and closed his eyes. Words swirled in his mind, but no further sound escaped his lips.
“Goddess, today I saw the devil incarnate. Right here, in your sacred place. He is still here; I feel his poisonous presence, I feel his gaze on my back, devoid of conscience and morality. I was not afraid of the monkeys, nor the bandits, nor even the deaths of my comrades, but this man... He frightens me. Not so much by his evil words, skillfully masked as business communication, but... Goddess, I recognized myself in him. My future self, a version of what I could become. This temptation is truly terrible and... and so alluring... I cannot know whether the devil will retreat from me or drag me into the darkness. Even now, he is soothingly whispering in my head, telling me not to give in to fear and to make the right decision. He promises untold riches, unlimited power over captured souls. I can barely drown out his voice with these words. Avaritia, I beg you, help me to resist, protect me from sin, and lead me to the light. Save my soul, deliver me from the tentacles of the abyss that are reaching for my heart.”
Ashur took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and looked at his hands, which were convulsively gripping the altar. He was still trembling, but the horror had subsided. He knew for sure that he would never set foot in this temple again, defiled by the serpent that had settled within it.

He needed to calm down completely, and he knew how. In the darkest moments of his past travels, when anxiety and fear clouded his mind, he would take up his smith’s hammer and work on his wares. The methodical removal of chips, burrs, and other imperfections, the sharpening of blades, and the repair of straps. Physical labor restored not only order to his belongings but also to his mind. For the next few hours, Ashur spent improving the party’s equipment, and the mental anguish caused by today’s meeting gradually faded away.

leveling up crafting, improving equipment

After Ashur finished his lengthy crafting session, Pyzhma approached him and cautiously started a conversation. — Master, are you alright? — she asked. — Forgive me if I'm being intrusive, but it seemed like you weren't quite yourself when you left the Temple. — "You even completely forgot about my presence," she added quietly. — Did something happen during the meeting?

we need to level up before the 28th so we don't waste Revan's time.

Meanwhile, Lyfa continued the briefing on the upcoming operation. "I propose we attack the bastards here. The enemy formation looks like this: The convoy will move slowly north (actually south, the map is kind of flipped, but it doesn't matter). If you are not in the enemy's line of sight, they won't know the number and composition of the attackers until the battle begins. The only exception is invisible enemies, which are not displayed on the map. Being on the orange squares (these are like hills there), the characters are not accessible for attacks from the outside unless they are directed from the entrance. You cannot advance to the gray squares. You can shoot over the trees from the peach-colored squares - they do not create obstacles (you can still shoot from below if there is line of sight). You can also hide on them - before the battle, the characters on them will not be visible from the outside. The armored cart with Gilbert has 100/100 defense and 500 health. Added after 36 minutes Lyfa invests 400 experience points into her stats: +1 to dodge, +1 to attack, +1 to accuracy, +1 to beauty. She also says that somewhere in the city, you can buy forbidden equipment from Trivium Kimimi, such as explosive rounds and a pururu bomb, but she doesn't have any information on how to contact the merchant.

but she doesn't have any information on how to contact the merchant.

After these words, Ashur visibly paled.

After these words, Ashur visibly paled.

It would be funnier if, after these words, Ashur suddenly realized that he had always dreamed of becoming a slave trader and went to bow to Diref.

When Ashur finally put down the blacksmith's tools, feeling normal again, Pyzhma approached him.

— Master, are you alright?… Forgive me if I'm being nosy, but it seemed to me that when you left the Temple, you were a little out of sorts. — "You even completely forgot about my presence," she added quietly. — Did something happen during the meeting?

— Do I look like a respectable master now? — he said with a weak smile, spreading his soot-stained hands and looking at his dirty apron. — Call me by my name from now on... And you're right - something did happen. I met a terrible man. A real villain, and the worst thing is - he's just like me, he also dedicated his life to trade, but in a perverted, repulsive way. He offered me a deal, a criminal and unscrupulous one, but I refused.
Ashur fell silent. Perhaps it wasn't worth bothering the girl with particularly immoral details. Looking at Pyzhma, he couldn't understand how she could be valued at forty himes. The logic of Diref's calculations remained a mystery. Yes, he had previously valued Coriel Tav at five himes, but at that moment he was looking at lifeless remains, which were only worth burial. That was the price of death, not life. How much was a living Tav worth? How much was a living Pyzhma really worth? Ashur doubted that he really wanted to know the absolutely mathematically and logically confirmed answer - the fact that she was alive and free was much more important, even if she had bound herself with this reckless oath of service.
— By the way, Pyzhma... Please, be careful. Don't go alone to deserted places. Believe me, this is not just a disciplinary warning... This city is steeped in evil.
