Garrett decided to start the new day with his usual trip to Iron.
After completing his training, he thought that he was working, but in reality, he was just keeping himself in shape. And smart people were making money off of it. He hadn't forgotten what Ayko had told him about finding a job, but the fact that he still hadn't found anything didn't mean that the task was irrelevant – he really did go to the SRI to look for options, and he already knew what vacancies were available there. None of them appealed to him, and when he asked about the highest-paying job, he was told something like, "No, buddy, you don't have the right look for it."
So today, in search of suitable opportunities, he went to the worker's guild, where he finally found an interesting task.
Garrett goes to the air dock and asks for a man named Lotr Lost.
Garrett +0.5 to strength.
— Are you here for a ticket? — Lotr Lost asked when Garrett found him.
Once upon a time, there was a very bad girl who bought a rather mediocre boy as a slave. They sailed to a faraway kingdom to see a foreign princess, who ordered them to kill an obnoxious director who had offended her with his blasphemous play. The girl and the boy went to the director and shot him, then slit his throat. Later, they heard that another villain had killed an innocent saleswoman and cut her into pieces. The girl went to find the villain to pin her crime on him, but instead, she ended up in jail, and the boy became her errand boy, so he didn't have any time left. And that's the end of the story, and the moral is: it's better to think carefully about who you're going to blame for your crimes!
— Oh, I can do that! Would you prefer I tell it, or should I write it down? Garrett began to sift through various stories in his memory, looking for one from which he could spin something interesting.
— Oh, I can do that! Would you prefer I tell it, or would it be better to write it down? Garrett began to sift through various stories in his memory, looking for one from which he could embellish something interesting.
— Oh, how interesting! — Li Jun chimed in. — Won't you tell us more? Perhaps this meeting will serve as good publicity for you!
— Thank you for your kind words. I wouldn't want my participation today to be perceived in that way, but I can't refuse if you have a genuine cultural interest. I come from afar, and it was a pleasant surprise to discover that our views on the structure of the world are fundamentally similar, which, in essence, implies their truth, because they are based on the immutable constants of the surrounding reality. However, many elements of my native tradition are dictated by the cultural aspects of the philosophical contemplation of existence, our historical development, and the peculiarities of our mentality... — for a certain, but relatively short, time, so as not to overwhelm the listeners, she explains the specifics of the Nihon faith, emphasizing its crucial similarities with the worship of Anush and explaining the cosmetic and some other, but not too drastic, differences with the appropriate cultural and historical context. — ...Thus, even having ended up in your cosmopolitan environment, if you will, which combines the presence of many cultures that are not entirely devoid of their own identity, spiritually I felt almost at home — even more so than in some regions of my homeland. This cannot but warm my heart. So, if possible, I would like to reciprocate your kindness with the same warmth. After the completion of the construction of my humble sanctuary, I would be happy to welcome all those interested in its cultural and spiritual content. This is the least I could do for worthy people, — a respectful bow to the listeners.

— I would also like to know, — Hector continued, — whether the point of view you expressed coincides with the tenets of your faith?
— Everything I have outlined during our discussion is, first and foremost, my own views, which I hold dear. But yes, indeed, — she nods. — The matters I have spoken about are given the status of the highest importance in my tradition, as something that requires a person to make serious, conscious efforts, sometimes even going against immediate comfort and benefit, but ultimately allowing him to preserve and maintain the honor and dignity of his own soul.
So, as I understand it, Klin and Kenjiro are working on Heroes of Might and Magic. And then, if everything is okay and there are no hidden issues, we buy the boots and go to the Scorpion.
The gnome was granted a personal meeting with the princess.
— Hello, Ayko. I have a new assignment for your "Carnelian."
— I am glad to hear from Your Highness that our modest talents have found a use; it is not fitting for them to languish, nor for us to rest. However, I hope that nothing sorrowful has befallen our dear and glorious capital this time...
"I think people have had enough fear in such a short time."
I'm not particularly eager to go to the Scorpions without boots worth 500, and I wouldn't advise anyone else to do so. Without swords, ropes, or gear from the dungeon, we basically have nothing to do here.
After Ugalu, Kenshiro calls his comrade for a man-to-man talk. — Klin. Even with your hundred and my savings, we still don't have enough money. No money means no equipment, and we won't get anywhere.
E si sui vius, er mi grans benananza, e si ieu muoir, er mi grans deliuriers
-- I am pleased to hear from Your Highness that our modest talents have found a use, it would be a shame for them to languish, and for us to rest. However, I hope that nothing unfortunate has happened to our dear and glorious capital this time...
"I think people have had enough fear in such a short time."
— No, nothing like that happened, much to my relief. I need you to burn down one orphanage in Yansi.
I'm not particularly eager to go after the Scorpich without boots worth 500, and I wouldn't advise anyone else to do so. Without swords/ropes/gear from the dungeon, we basically have nothing to do here.
I understand the plan is to buy at least a pair of fancy boots for Kena and Kline. And then, if everything goes well with the Scorpich, we'll do the same for Alaria.
