-- Well, modest and vague information in exchange for equally modest and vague information... it seems we both still have a lot to learn, -- the dwarf smiled. -- But I think it might be easier for you to fill in your knowledge gaps, considering the conveniently chosen part-time job... if you want.
- Yes, I'll try to do that tomorrow if I have some free time, - Merel reluctantly shared, and then decided to quickly change the subject. - I was just thinking that I should have suggested that our acquaintance, the priestess, take the last cat that was left with that park enthusiast. If she likes animals, of course. I think in a week, they managed to figure out that the cats came from the same guy.
— You pay me, and I'll craft whatever you desire. I don't take orders for less than 500 gold.
— I understand. I'll come back when I have the money. He leaves the forge.Author
In "The Young Drowned Woman," after everyone had gathered, the Mole Queen spoke: -- Dear lords and beautiful ladies of Carneol, and my dear comrade... I am glad to see you all here. I have only recently met you all, but I am glad to have made your acquaintance. You are all examples of perseverance and determination, and a willingness to improve by overcoming difficulties. You all know how to assess risks, how to act in concert, how to be brave when necessary... And in general, to work in our field, courage is essential. -- Know that I value you all. Both the fighters on the invisible front and the fighters on the visible front; without each of you, Carneol would not be what it is. It's a pity that one of our fighters is not here.
-- I hope that you value me too, your humble, unassuming Mole Queen, -- she blinked her eyes after finishing this thought. -- As well as our extraordinary guest, -- a nod. -- There are others, with whose good names on our lips and in our minds, we carry out our great and small tasks, in this wonderful Name we are united. -- Peace and prosperity to the Welfern Empire, glory to His Majesty Purian es Diesra Arual, to his majestic family and to the heir Naria es Diesra Arual, honor and respect, and to all of us, many long and happy years of life. Enjoy your meal.
— Well said, dear Aiko... — Garret nodded approvingly. — May you be well, the radiant imperial family, and of course, all our brave company. He smiled and began to eat. "Pff, Aiko, are you serious? Now I understand that you're a novice. Mole Queen? Well, I understand that you're still getting used to the role of the leader of a gang of thugs, but... to give yourself such a flashy nickname, which clearly hints at both status and appearance, is like painting a target on your back. I hope you're smart enough not to flaunt your 'humility' around."Author
- Hmm. I'm afraid that it's impossible to fully explain this in a short conversation. Centuries of history and traditions of our land stand behind them, which have been built up brick by brick into the final result. We don't have any established, set-in-stone dogmas, but if we simplify it to the most basic principles, then it is: respect for the memory of ancestors and the immutable phenomena of nature, as well as resistance to all kinds of evil. Everything in this world has its own soul, and this must be taken into account. In general, I think that you can see such an attitude to things in many places, both on these islands and in other places.
As he said these words, the aster swallowed a piece of food with difficulty. He raised his eyebrows and looked intently at Aiyano. From that moment on, it became clear that she was not just some "Mirai witch"; there was something more to her. He even felt a little ashamed that he had initially, out of ignorance, mistaken unknown spiritual practices for strange witchcraft.Author
- Of course, Aiko-tan. Now is really not the best time for lengthy philosophical discussions, but otherwise, I will be glad to receive you and all those who wish in the Sanctuary in the near future - if I'm lucky, - a polite nod. - If you are attracted to this aspect, which is different from your culture, then I will be happy to assist your interest, and most of all, I hope that this will also bring relief to the hearts of the people here.
Thoughtfully closing his eyes, Garret rubbed his temple and shook his head - he himself found it difficult to believe what he was about to say. — It may sound unexpected coming from me, but I will also be looking forward to the opportunity to visit this Sanctuary. In your words, I heard something that is close to me, and something that is the opposite. To be honest, I've never been a fan of cultural debates, and I don't want to get involved in them now. And yet... I feel that I have something to share with you, and I am interested to hear what thoughts this will inspire in you.
I did some calculations, and it turns out that the scorpion has a higher than average chance (over 50%) of encountering quicksand (or an ambush, but I think we're less afraid of those) at least once. Especially if you go all the way, which might be of some interest to us. We're looking for Apostles, so it makes sense to check each of the available locations. As I said, it would be a good idea to ask Septetus about the local Temples that we saw on certain routes. The gladiator quest has an even higher chance of quicksand and ambushes. I would even say that at least one ambush (I'm counting monsters and bandits together, although I think monsters are more dangerous) is almost inevitable. The situation with quicksand is a little better. You need to go in as prepared as possible, but we've already agreed on that. The quest involving the return has the lowest chance of quicksand, especially if you don't go the whole route. It's not much lower than the scorpion quest, though, if you go all the way (still over 50%). But the chance of an ambush is low. A diplomatic route is also potentially possible, as Alaria now knows the local language. In fact, without diplomacy or using rope, I don't think we can complete the quest successfully. This is probably one of the reasons why the reward is better than the scorpion quest, even though it's completed faster. I would also ask about Nanaya. Of all the options, I would probably go for the scorpions. It will be like a test drive. If we can't handle it, then there's no point in trying the others.
Added 1 minute ago Oh yes, Revan also added Chikan and Chijjo to the list of characters, which only confirms the assumptions about the diplomatic route. x)
Yes, I would go for the "peaceful" quests -> scorpion -> vizier. Buy boots, of course. And it's best to reach the final locations, otherwise we really won't be able to complete the main quest.
Regarding the return, I have some doubts. I'd like to go and talk to the fugitives first, hopefully they won't immediately become hostile. But that's for later. And then, if we're still alive (unlikely), we can go to the tournament.
We might survive, but 2/3 of the group will sustain injuries and become incapacitated. And that's when the game will truly be over. Actually, for the same reason, I don't see the point in clinging to every single flower charge when the question is whether to resurrect a specific NPC. Especially since the flower will be the first to end up in the quicksand, without those fancy boots.
With his arms crossed and his head slightly tilted, Klin listened thoughtfully to the slave owner's boastful tirade. —You are absolutely right, sir. Even your social status clearly demonstrates the difference between you and that despicable criminal, who not only escaped himself but also stole another of your possessions. Had he not fled into the desert, you would undoubtedly have twisted him into a scorpion's tail in your anger.
— Bahahaha, I see you understand what's what! If there were more people like you in our... society! Then there would be peace and order long ago. — Ugallu slapped Klin on the shoulder and gave him 100 rems. — Here, buy your wife a gift or just get something to eat, hahaha!
Basically, we've saved enough for one pair of boots. With a bit more saving, we should be able to get another pair and all three of us can go down the Scorpion path.
E si sui vius, er mi grans benananza, e si ieu muoir, er mi grans deliuriers
The next day, Merel comes to work and asks Na about obtaining citizenship. What is required for this, besides a long period of residence in the country/city?
— Uh, well, those are some interesting questions... If I remember correctly... You need to have worked officially for five years, have no legal issues, and pass a test. I don't know exactly what it covers, but I think it's about language, laws, history, and the culture of the empire.
He also added the director to the list of characters...
Well, I haven't seen that story, but I think you could have avoided killing the director) Just physically. The consequences for Beata are another matter.
- Yes, I'll try to do that tomorrow if I have some free time, - Merel reluctantly shared, and then decided to quickly change the subject. - I was just thinking that we should have suggested to our acquaintance, the priestess, to take the last cat that was left with that park enthusiast. If she likes animals, of course.
-- Hmm, so Mr. Creon still hasn't found a home for Belik? Well, Miss Aiyano does seem like a suitable candidate.Author
Closing his eyes thoughtfully, Garret rubbed his temple and shook his head – he himself found it hard to believe what he was about to say. — It might sound unexpected coming from me, but I too will be looking forward to the opportunity to visit this Sanctuary. In your words, I heard something that resonates with me, and something that is the opposite. To be honest, I've never been a fan of cultural debates, and I still don't want to get involved in them. And yet... I feel that I have something to share with you, and I am interested to hear what thoughts this will inspire in you.
- Feel free to contact me at any time, Garret-don, - the priestess nods. - Sometimes, people who, at first glance, are not close to spiritual matters, may need this more than others.
On Monday, after waking up, Miko spends some time in front of the mirror, where a gloomy face looks back at her. She is wearing a kimono, and in both hands she holds hangers with two dresses. Alternately trying on the hangers to her shoulders, tilting her head to one side and then the other, frowning, grimacing, and shaking her head, she spends more time than she would like on this activity. "What nonsense..." - finally, experiencing a decisive surge of irritation, she throws the hangers on the bed and finally leaves the room to take care of business. Reaching the end of the corridor, she stops, sighs heavily, and rubs her temple. She returns to the room, picks up the hangers from the bed, smooths out their contents, and hangs them in the closet, then leaves for good.
She goes to the adventurers' guild - to check if any updates have appeared in the last couple of weeks.
