It's a very strange place. Long abandoned, yet it describes a civilization that is not only infinitely distant from Calcite but also technologically on par with, or not far behind, Margel. The founder, however, didn't resemble the ancient warrior women they are usually depicted as, but rather someone dressed in the latest Rheian fashion. Is this an artifact from lost times, erased from the annals of history after a cultural collapse? Or is it the creation of someone like her from Kenshiro, cast into this world in ancient times? Alaria is unlikely to ever find the answer to this question.
The techniques described on the walls, however, while superficially similar to the theory of meridians, had a number of differences. Similar elements were visible here and there, but they were arranged quite differently than in her native world. Despite all the differences, however, it was exactly what she was looking for – a way to rekindle the flame of her soul. Of course, the local style differed from her previous one, embodying a more destructive and primal nature of the flame than was even accepted in Thanaris. This flame was unable to heal the wounds of others, but it burned enemies to ashes. At the same time, there was a deeper understanding and connection with the destructive element than in Alaria's homeland. And as for the missing techniques that she once knew... perhaps over time she will be able to create better analogues of them? Perhaps even rise from the ashes, like a phoenix? Figuratively speaking, that's exactly what she was doing now! It's a bit of a pity that she is unlikely to be able to master other elements, but the Thanarian saw no other choice. At the same time, in this way, she would honor the memory of the founder of this school. No matter how her fate ends, she was clearly a warrior of extraordinary talent. And the love invested in the creation of this place was undeniable, thanks to which Alaria could now get out of the hole she was in.

— This is an amazing story about the city of Baldr, — noted Kenshiro. After losing his physical body, reading or retelling brought the samurai even more pleasure than before; he completely surrendered to another world that letters and words revealed. — It seems that everywhere people are somewhat similar, serving their masters, following the paths of warriors, merchants, or artisans, experiencing hardships, enduring the machinations of sorcerers. They live in similar worlds. One of them even has weapons* that are exactly like those used in my homeland, and we think that our blades are special. And despite all this, their destinies are so different. And their abilities. I won't have to fear old age, but will an immortal be able to learn that? Not to mention that we can hardly afford to be so distracted from our mission.
— According to what Thrakia (Revan) said, we have plenty of time before the tournament begins. So, it would be wise to prepare for it, as well as for other dangers on our side. Great warriors from all over Calcite, and perhaps even from beyond, will definitely gather there, which means Klin will need any help. And, to be honest, I would also like to learn the local techniques. We seem to have enough food, and we even have a way to quickly return to Barsina, — Alaria paused briefly, — although we need to discuss this with An. It is not a fact that she plans to stay here for a month. And, therefore, if our guide is confident in her ability to return to Barsina alone, we should share our supplies with her. Perhaps even, if Viktor agrees, pay her a fee.
The Thanarian didn't say this out loud, but in her heart, she really hoped that An would decide to, and be able to, return to Barsina on her own. Magic is magic, but the path back provided by Marduk seemed more convenient and less risky to the girl than another journey through the sands
- Oh! Are you serious? What if something goes wrong? - Guyon looks around, searching for emeralds, resurrection potions, or an ambulance around the corner.
- Nah, nothing will happen, everything's fine, relax.

Do Haven prayers consume resources? I keep forgetting.
The funny thing is that this location was ignored for so long that I myself had forgotten about it. Well, let's say they don't consume resources...
- You didn't really comfort me at all 😅 I see that you are a very strong person, and I am definitely not a weakling, and I believe that you have excellent armor for testing, but when I get hit with a weapon with all your might... It's a bit unsettling 😅 I would like some guarantees that I will survive, life and health insurance, if possible 🥺
-- Really? Well, actually, I'm not entirely sure that's the case... It's just that you're so hard to find, I was advised by friends. More precisely, one friend and comrade brought cookies from your production, and also bought food for my cat. I didn't even know that was possible; Mysterius thanked me very much in cat language for it. -- However, there may indeed be quite a few admirers of this painting in our headquarters. It's a good piece, high quality... It has a classic feel to it, a little (Rembrandt), a little hmm... I guess you have a well-known artist in Heles?
- Yes... Well, he's ~like that. His name is Revanus. And if you hang it in your organization, it will be great, and it will be beautiful for you, and it will be advertising for me.

- Do you have anything with blueberries? They say it's good for the eyes.
- We have blueberry ice cream. Blueberry pie. Blueberry cake. Blueberry muffins. Blueberry pudding.
The funny thing is that this location was ignored for so long that I had already forgotten about it. Well, let them not waste time on it...
Beata kneels and quietly prays under her breath.
- Great Arselia! Mother Anuzish! I rarely call upon you, for I am sinful, I have done many things in my life, I am wayward and not very bright... But now I call upon your help, for you are my only hope. I am not asking for myself, but for my faithful and only friend, for Gion! Please watch over him, let him return to me safe and sound! - she didn't notice, but tears were streaming down her cheeks again, - I will owe you, I will do less mischief... I will try, because I have lived in sin for a long time, it will be difficult to simply forget my past life... But I will try, just bring him back to me safe and sound, I beg you! And I pray for my friends from Carneol. May everything be good in their lives. I like them...
- You haven't cheered me up at all 😅 I see that you are a very strong person, and I am certainly not weak, and I believe that you have excellent armor for testing, but when I am hit with weapons with all your might... It's a bit unsettling 😅 I would like some guarantees that I will survive, life and health insurance, if possible 🥺
- Dude, you... You don't ask an architect for insurance before going down the stairs... Or before eating a fruit, you don't ask the tree for guarantees that the fruit is edible...
- Yeah... Well, I'm Revanus. And if you put this in your organization, it will be great, and it will be good for both of us, and it will be advertising for me.
-- I don't even know how to thank you... Maybe with advertising, and also with a firm promise to be your client again in the future. Ayko accepts this expensive gift...

He's going to get injured or die, screenshot it. And with the fruits, YES, SHUT UP already, peter_griffin.jpg
- Oh... Bring your armor, let's test it. Gion equips the lokum in another slot.
I hope he doesn't one-shot me, or maybe Beata's prayer will work.
- Thank you, - Ayano hesitated. - This is... I'm sorry, no offense to you personally or to your establishment, but... are you feeling alright? You look a little... worn out.
-- I don't even know how to thank you... Perhaps with advertising, and also with a firm promise to be your customer again in the future. Ayko accepts this very expensive gift...
