- Good morning. Konnichiwa, - she bows. - Would it be possible to spare a few minutes for a short conversation? I can imagine that you already have enough on your plate... - she glances absentmindedly in the direction where Draco Mellis went. - ...especially without Aria-dono within reach... But I believe the question is important, and I think it might also interest you. To be honest, I've reached a dead end regarding possible solutions.

- Ah, Aiyano. I actually had a question for you, but it can probably wait. - She invites her to sit down in the gazebo. - Let's start by figuring out your dead end.

[spoiler=When I chose the "Miss Cosmos" persuasion option] [/spoiler]

In my opinion, this is the best way to convince someone in the game. But of course, if you have good heroes from other expansions, it simply allows you to bypass any kind of balance.

Nah, Moen is the best companion. I regret that only Beate recruited him.

Oh, I recognize these random, insignificant NPCs.

Nah, Moen is the best persuader. I regret that only Beate recruited him.

If I port Dalia from the Hieroglyph era, she should have the same immunity to injuries, along with a number of other nice features. However, she won't have immunity to instant kills, theoretically. And if I port Dalia from the Lapistia era, I'll be able to heal (some) injuries. But porting is not always the same. And not every character, no matter how strong they are, will I want to port. I probably wouldn't port Linderia or Leila, for example.

- Thank you,” she said, nodding as she sat down in the gazebo and looked around to make sure no one else was there. - I don't even know where to begin,” she said thoughtfully, tilting her head to one side, but after a few seconds, she realized that this might not be the best gesture to use when talking to someone of such caliber, and she returned her head to its original position. - As far as I remember, you said that to summon an "entity" into this world, it is necessary to use monarchical blood as a catalyst? If I understand the meaning of its significance - as something related to the "worship" of many people, which endows it with such properties, then I can suggest that it is not only your dynasty. - She shrugged almost imperceptibly. - I had the opportunity to conduct a small investigation, during which I learned about the existence of a couple of "guests" here, in this city, and, to my surprise, they turned out to be my compatriots - in a relative sense, not an absolute one. You understand what I mean. Moreover, one of them is quite well known to me, albeit indirectly, not personally. The situation is complicated by the fact that both of them were cursed, or rather, bewitched by the sorcerer %keroname%, if that name means anything to you. This happened several years ago in the vicinity of Risserland - as far as I know, this is a city of regional importance to the northeast,” she quoted the words of the old ghost. - It was only by a lucky chance that they ended up here. They are incapacitated - one is in a catatonic state, and the second... as the investigation showed, her mind and body were transferred into an inanimate object. A doll. Pausing for a few seconds, Myco took a breath and tried to find the right words. - I am well aware that there is little or no pragmatic sense in this, but I would like to free them from this spell and return them to a normal state. That would be the right thing to do. In addition, I learned that their existence in Anuzish, from the very moment of their summoning, was filled with torture and suffering. I cannot help but want to give them at least a chance at a normal life. Unfortunately, I do not have the necessary skills, but I was able to get advice from an expert on this issue. There is a way to break the doll's spell, but... it requires that someone else take the place of the captive's soul. This is the "dead end" - no matter how much I think about it, I cannot come up with a way out of the situation. This expert is Kayasa Morax-kocho, and I have no doubt about her competence. But knowing about your own high qualifications in the field of magic, and about your understanding of matters that lie beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, even those as talented as she is, perhaps here it is possible to find some other solution? The priestess bows her head: - Hime denka... onegai.

Oh, I recognized those obscure NPCs.

Luke 😭😭😭😭😭 💔💔💔💔💔

In the Philosophers' Guild, a rather unusual meeting took place today – the participants honored the memory of one of their members, Hector Lamariss, a brave sailor. According to unconfirmed information, he was appointed captain of a ship and decided to go down with it. During the meeting, some of his views were discussed. Notable participants in the meeting included: “Mr. Gaheris believed that seduction is worse than rape,” Lee Joon said. “He considered it a kind of mental rape and an irreversible murder of the soul and heart. While, no matter how terrible the act of violence, a virtuous woman will remain faithful to her husband and become a victim of such dishonor only at the will of a third party, but seduction leads to an act of vile betrayal. What do our esteemed guests think?” “Oh,” Grigory said, slightly flustered when the attention of those present was directed at him. “Well, I think it’s all equally bad... Seduction, no matter who it involves – a married man or a married woman – is an act that destroys families and the foundations of society, and violence is just barbarism that has no place in a civilized society.” “And yet…” Since the Northerner did not answer, Lee Joon decided to repeat the question to the audience. “What is worse: seduction or rape?” “What is worse?” This time, a young man dressed in all black drew attention to himself. “In my opinion, we should ask the opposite question: what is better? Violence can be interesting in its own way, but only in relation to a very narrow circle of women, while seduction can lead to the most unexpected and interesting results. Choosing between these two ways of spending time, the second one is more exciting, but also more time-consuming and resource-intensive.” ... The audience covers their mouths with their hands, looks away, trying not to look at the speaker. “Ha-ha, that’s a very interesting point of view!” Lee Joon, unfazed (or perhaps deciding that what was said was just a joke), recalls another belief of the sailor. “Regarding the question of ‘What defines kinship,’ Mr. Gaheris firmly believed that everything is determined by blood. What does our audience think?” “I agree!” Grigory raised his hand. “There is no one closer than blood relatives! Well, except for husband and wife, of course...” “‘Kinship’ is something that everyone can define for themselves,” the man in black said, answering second. “If I consider my close-minded comrade, with whom I went through Hell, to be a brother, then so be it. And if my blood brother is a nobody, then he is not my brother at all, and everything else, in particular the legal aspect of kinship, is already the concern of bureaucratic worms.” “Aha, what would you do then if your wife gave birth to a child from another man,” Grigory parried, “would you treat him as your own?” “This is a complex question, but let’s assume that I really had a wife and something like that happened. And let’s also assume that she gives birth to a girl. In that case, I kill the enemy who encroached on what is mine, raise the girl, and then… and then she gives birth to my children. In this way, I both take revenge and don’t end up a fool. Let’s just say, I played it all out like a well-rehearsed performance.” “Uh-uh-uh,” Lee Joon was slightly taken aback this time; catching Erephir’s eye, he turns to her. “Esteemed one, what do you think about these two questions? What is worse – seduction or rape, and what, in your opinion, defines kinship?”

Seduce someone into letting you rape them 👍

If I consider a close comrade, with whom I went through Hell, as a brother, then so be it. But if my blood brother is a worthless person, then he is not my brother at all, and everything else, in particular the legal aspect of kinship, is a matter for bureaucratic worms to ponder.

My name is Alaria Doran. A warrior who didn't find a place in her homeland. I could tell you a lot about my life there, but I prefer to omit many details. I'll just say that my parents were empty people.

"Why can I always find something in common with some monstrous type, vested with power? First, Aydos, and now this one," thought the Tanarian warrior, a strange thought that made her shiver.

— This is a complex issue, but let's say I did have a wife and something like that happened. And let's also say she gives birth to a girl. In that case, I kill the enemy who dared to harm what's mine, I raise the girl, and then... and then she has my children. That way, I get my revenge and don't end up a fool. Let's just say, I played it all out perfectly.

A multi-step plan.

And if it's a boy, I'll raise him as a brother!

— I agree! — Grigory raised his hand. — No one is closer than blood relatives!

They didn't send Astellia to him, which was a mistake.

The Priestess bows her head:
- Chimera, just one more time... please.

— Kayasa Morax, sometimes she acts as if she's still a little girl, even though she's old enough to be my... Well, never mind. — After calculating how much "mana" it would take, Naria decided not to torture herself or Aiyano. — To avoid further misunderstandings, you need to understand something about me: I have no "qualifications" in the field of magic. All I can do is summon different forms. — Pulling a hairpin from her hair, the princess scratched a small, slightly crooked geometric figure on the wall of the gazebo, pressed her index finger to it, and "activated" it. A few seconds later, a magnificent butterfly appeared on the summoner's finger. After flying around the gazebo for a bit, it landed on Aiyano's head. — I can't launch fireballs from my hands, but fortunately for you and your fellow villagers, the problem you described can be easily solved by making a few changes to the formula I used to bring you into this world. But the question remains: are you willing to vouch for these two?

"Nah, but it should be super fun!"
