He should have reached the maximum rank already.

Haste weakens willpower.

He was probably caught eating a pie from Mystery.

"So, buddy? Are you bored sitting in that bag?" Click-clack. "It's okay, we'll be back in action soon. Maybe it'll be a suicide mission, but we're used to that, right?" Click-clack. "Don't worry, you won't mess anything up this time, heh-heh." Click-clack. "Oh, don't be scared, I'm not that much of a screw-up, and the guys seem capable, we have a chance. But if not... I'll join you in oblivion, what else can I do." Click, boom. "Damn it." Pulling back his bitten fingers, Garret set the skull that had fallen on its side back upright. He stopped playing with the jaw and just stared at it for a while. What would he actually say? He would probably already be impatient to rush into battle. And, of course, quickly lose his head. Hmm, but if this skull were alive, then what? That's harder to imagine. But he definitely wouldn't miss the chance to make a sarcastic comment and say something like, "Look, brother, be careful and don't lose your head, hee-hee." The same advice that Garret himself had repeatedly given to his brother. In this situation, said in reverse, it would sound simply mind-blowing. Well, even if luck doesn't favor them, they will still be together on their last mission. Garret puts his brother's skull back in the bag, leaves his room in Carneol, and heads to the meeting place. I'm taking this Sleight of Hand [1200] Extra shot. Remaining experience goes into Perception. And I'll practice in the Iron Mines some more.

If anything, Gion can now get where he needs to go and attend the meeting.

He took the money, but didn't put the diaries in his inventory...............................

- Hello! How are you doing here? Are you bored?
- Well... It's not very fun. Rafik brought me a book yesterday, and I've already read it six or seven times out of boredom. Twice I read it aloud to my cellmates. Maybe soon I'll want to tackle that Zimivian tome, what was it called... "War and Peace," yeah. And before that, I had only read three books in my life - an alphabet book, the second one, and a blue one!
"It shows," Gion thought.
"I know what you're thinking, you jerk, you're the same," Beata thought.
- Then I have another entertainment for you. Here, take this, - Gion solemnly hands over the diary.
- And what is this for?
- It's a personal diary. You'll not only read, but also write.
- Hmm, I would write... - Beata narrowed her eyes mockingly, looking at her companion.
- Diaries are for writing about life, - Gion replied with a mocking reproach, - about everything that happened to you. It allows you to look at the situation from the outside, to relive the experience, to understand what happened...
- Are you hanging out with that brainiac too much?
- No, I just heard about it, - Gion shrugged.
- Well, okay, I'll try! But do I really need to write down everything?..
- Everything you think is important, - Gion winked. - Like what you told me yesterday, about the stalker, about the setup... I suspected, but I didn't know you had been through so much. You had no one to share it with, I don't know why you didn't share it with me, but that's your business. Now you can share it with the diary and not keep it to yourself. By the way, I took one for myself too, I'll try to keep one.
Beata smiled understandingly. Of course, she's going to make compromising material about herself, what a fool. But confirming her version... That would be good.
- And here, - Gion handed over "Okhladin," - just in case, if your... condition worsens. Please take care of yourself. You know you can't overheat.
- Okay, mommy, - Beata replied mockingly, but with sincere gratitude. - By the way, take these "Rules," I don't want to see them anymore. I can recite them by heart!
Beata returns the "Expedition Rules."
- Oh, by the way, about books! After the first reading session, Enio, my new friend, said that it was terrible nonsense and boring, and she only endures it because she really has nothing else to do. She advised me to find some book written by a dark Lunarian... I'll remember now... "Lustful Kumarian Maid," yeah! She says it's a great book, about polishing copies and all that.
- Lustful. Kumarian. Maid, - Gion raised his eyebrow skeptically. - Hmm, I don't want to know... Okay, I'll ask around, if I don't forget. By the way, do you want the latest news?
- Well, yes, tell me!
- We found the maniac. It turned out to be Viktor Loss. The one who met us at the port, remember?
- Oh, the one who undressed you? - Beata giggled.
- Shut up, - Gion blushed, - yes, him. And he's possessed by a demon! Almost all of us went to try to kill him.
- And you weren't taken? Why?
- Well... We found out what he is. We figured out a tactic. According to the tactic, I'm only good as cannon fodder. To approach him and die, so that he spends an extra turn on me. Ayko decided it wasn't worth it.
- She made the right decision, - Beata grinned unpleasantly, - she is, of course, a pleasant and respectable person, but if, because of her, even one hair falls from your head, I will gouge out her eye and put it on her ass and say that's what happened.
Gion blushed slightly.
- And we also have reinforcements, - he changed the subject. - Well, I don't know for sure yet, but at least an ally. The High Priestess sent some foreign priestess, Ayano or something like that. A very competent lady, she understands perfectly what she's dealing with. I hope she will help us.
- Yes, I hope so. And I also hope that that long-eared bitch, what's her name? Kelianthra? That Viktor will tear off her ears, because they are too long, she hears a bell, but doesn't know where it is, she comes up with some nonsense and accuses me of something.
- Well, or at least she'll get permanent makeup under her eyes, - Gion chuckled.
Beata laughed with him.
- Oh, by the way! Can you ask the guard to give me my things? As your trusted person. Because they're just wasting away. I have money, stones there. My crossbow, too, it needs to be inspected, lubricated, it wouldn't hurt to enchant it... Just leave the clothes, of course, I have no complexes, but they'll immediately put me back in jail for violating public order.
- Okay, I'll talk to them and see what I can do, - Gion smiled.
He hesitated for a moment, clearly not knowing what to say.
- So, what's up? - Beata urged him impatiently.
- For the last couple of days, I've been without you... And with that maniac on the loose... I was thinking... What if something happens... To me or to you... I... well... I want you to know... Hmm, you know, I, and you, and we've been together for so long, and... Well, there's so much between us... M... I... I don't know how to say it, but, well... - with every word, he blushed more and more.
- Just say it - you're madly in love with me, - Beata blurted out.
Gion jumped.
- I, well... How did you know?
- There's nothing to know, honestly. It's impossible to say such things directly, I know it from my own experience. You want to say it, but you're embarrassed, you don't know how it will turn out, so you tell all sorts of nonsense, just so that your loved one pays attention. Did you think that's why I'm always teasing you and saying nonsense about your beautiful ass? No, well, it's not nonsense, your ass is great, but you get it? - she blushed slightly and smiled shyly.
- I understand, - Gion replied gently, touching her hand through the bars of the grate.

The couple talked for a while longer, after which Gion went to ask the guard to give him all of Beata's things, except for her clothes and boots. And the "Okhladin" and the diary, of course.

Can I purchase the Town of Welfern before a battle and read its description along with the Expedition Guide?

Perverts are just bad writers.

Can you?

Then I buy it, read it, download Skill, and the rest I just enjoy.

Wiping away a tear, Keliandra firmly resolved to finish what she had started. The spell will be learned!

*Notable locations:**

Carnel: Home, sweet home. It must be admitted that the princess has provided a very comfortable place for the squad. It's beautiful, convenient, and has all the necessary amenities. The food is quite decent, the beds are soft, and Raphael's chest is also available. The salary is rather low, but if the squad receives a reward for a job, it will definitely be shared among them. It's much better than a hotel, isn't it?

Fort: a gloomy abode of the capital guard. It's a boring place, but the cells are quite spacious. Considering that such a cruel person as Victor worked here successfully for years, there are obviously plenty of torture devices as well. It's best not to visit here too often.

Magic Bureau: and how can one forget it? They work efficiently and clearly follow a certain scheme. Probably, distributing rings is a major part of the guard's duties here. And where do they get all these rings for every random mage? Is there some kind of workshop for casting jewelry? And they sell other chains and pendants, thereby providing for the organization. A brilliant plan for making money! Simply magnificent, if I understand correctly. Reliable, like Margel watches.

Phantom: a strange place. There are many interesting items here, but where does the owner get them? And who is this owner? Clearly a skilled dark mage, judging by his mysterious and very silent saleswoman. I hope they weren't too offended by my questions last time. I might drop by again sometime.

Discordia: they sell spellbooks here! And that says it all.

Rabbit Hole: a good place, I should visit it when I have the opportunity. I think I can win over the owner. And also gain notoriety in the capital as a dark lunar mage who condemns her fellow tribeswomen.

Tentacle: I bought this diary here. I love tentacles...

Philosophical Guild: a good place to attract positive attention and gain some charisma. Charisma is very important. I can feel it! I will visit here often when I have the opportunity. I would like to crush someone's arguments, drown them in my own, and bring them to their knees...

Forest outside the city: Victor will kill us here!*

Keliandra closed the diary. Well, that's enough for now, right?

Keliandra gains 1 less experience point than required for the spell. There is no time left; the characters go into battle.

I already made a joke about 499 out of 500.

He should have bought a book about demographics instead.
