Lin wakes up, gets herself together, and prepares to discuss the situation in the surrounding area with the Warlock.

Hmm, does Henry gain enough experience for level 5, earning 4 stat points from the experience? If so, then...
For once, the American found a place to relax. You could say he rejuvenated a bit, and he also enjoyed the sight of the mermaids (and they didn't seem to mind either). The guy feels like he's rejuvenated (+1 to beauty), and overall, he feels healthier (+1 perception, +1 agility, +1 physique).

Ah, no, he doesn't have enough for a level up, probably. He can only upgrade 3 stats. Well, no problem, he can do it later.

Can I go to the garden for practice today? Since we have a free day after all.

Lin wakes up, gets ready, and prepares to discuss the situation in the area with the Sorceress.

- Good morning, Ms. Lin, Vanus Trakhalion is pleased to meet you. Yesterday, I carefully read your letter and would like to inform you of the following. The curse on the salt baron's mine will be lifted after a monument made of salt is erected inside the mine in memory of the miner workers. As for the demonic problem, Vanus Trakhalion once promised himself that he would not do other people's work for them, otherwise people would never learn anything. Therefore, I cannot directly help in catching potential cultist-killers. However, Vanus Trakhalion has some knowledge about other demons, so if you notice any strange things besides the brutally murdered alchemists, you can contact me for advice, and perhaps even for help.

Can I go to the garden for training today? Since we have a free day.

It's the GM who has a free day. You have a break, and then you need to clear two mines.

In the sources, the American managed to relax for once. One could say that he has rejuvenated a little, and he also liked the sight of the mermaids (and they didn't seem to mind). The guy feels like he has rejuvenated a little (+1 to beauty), and has generally become healthier (+1 perception, +1 agility).

Ah, no, he probably doesn't have enough for a level up. He can only upgrade 3 stats. Well, no problem, then I'll do it later.

Yes, he doesn't have enough.

You have a pause, and then you need to clear two entire mines.

then it's four, if you count the ones that have a quest.

then it's four, if you count the ones with a quest.

Vanus has already taken the quest to clear the mermaid mines, sorry.

For delivering the mermaids home, Henry, Davalia, Radiell, and Joe each receive 50 experience points.

Okay, now there should be enough for leveling up, thanks. I fixed it (+1 to physics was also added).

Vanus has already taken the quest to clear the mermaid mines, sorry.

Yes, but we took the baroness.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but how are the mermaid mines structured?

I'm almost afraid to ask how the mermaid mines are structured...

Nikta can always check herself...

- I see... - Lin wasn't disappointed by the wizard's unwillingness to address the demonic problems, so she simply recounted to him everything that had happened to her and her companions in recent days - whirlpools, Takoyaki, and so on. - As for the statue, if you're interested in my opinion, I personally don't think that erecting it will make the mine owner reconsider his behavior or help the workers in any way. You seem to be quite familiar with Henry; in the country he comes from, something like that was called, uh, "virtue signaling." The rich verbally supported the common people, but in reality, they continued to exploit them mercilessly, forced men to become women and vice versa, mutilated the genitals and breasts of minors, and forced them to eat insects... So, perhaps it would be better to do something more tangible. For example, instead of a statue, guarantee the workers decent wages and working conditions. Can't you do something like that?

- Vanus Thrahalion is certain that the whirlpool resembles the work of an elemental demon, and the creatures you speak of are summoned by it. Elemental demons are vulnerable to elements that are opposite to their own. As for the baron, let him erect a statue and do as you said, and then the curse will be lifted.

- Alright, I'll pass it on to him. We'll have to clear the mine of bugs first, but that's our problem, not yours. But an elemental demon, you say? First, we hear about a demon of pain, and now this... Listen, can I give you a magic pocket? It's a magical device that helps our squad stay in touch with each other. We'll keep one, the good Olron Tragdoz will have one, and you'll have the third. In case we need any advice, your wisdom will be invaluable.

- Oh, have you already met Olron? He has a wonderful garden, a divinely cozy place! Vanus Thrahalion gratefully accepts your gift and will be happy to share his knowledge with the inquisitive minds of the Fortress.

- So, he cured me of the demon of pain's curse, a truly wonderful person, I am very grateful to him. Well, thank you for your time, we will stay in touch.

After finishing the conversation with the Sorcerer, Lin selects the last of the magic pouches and addresses the squad. - Today, we will start by eliminating the water monsters. The key to this mission will be Dalia. Takoyaki should be vulnerable to the opposite element, so we need to hit them with earth, I think? Correct me if I'm wrong... I would also like to send someone to watch the cultist blacksmith, but... I don't want to reduce the squad's combat effectiveness.
