-- We need to find out some details about Rinze, -- he says quietly. -- We will have to fight her. There was a book about her in the Grace, although I don't know how useful it is. But, considering that the Archive is inaccessible to us...
I will still take the risk and won't put the bug in. I prefer to solve such problems through role-playing. But if she mind-controls me, forgive me ((( However, Merel should clean things up if necessary.

- Rinze...
Beata's fists clenched involuntarily. She inhaled and exhaled.
- Rinze... I wish I didn't know what that was.
- We've already encountered this creature, - Gillon explained quietly.
- Yes... That cursed portrait... Boss, since we're talking about it, I think you should know. We somehow got in touch with the portrait of Rinze. I got in touch. I just looked at it for a bit, held it in my hands, and that was it. I didn't want to let it go, I just wanted to look at it and look at it. And the music in my head. I wasn't thinking clearly and couldn't do anything else but look at the portrait and enjoy the beauty of this... this creature, - Beata shuddered. - If it weren't for my Gillon, I probably wouldn't be talking here right now.
- I didn't know what to do, - Gillon nodded. - I wanted to destroy that damn painting, but I was afraid that it would somehow harm me or Beata; there was definitely something wrong with it. I got a tip about Evgeny from Tentacle, remember him? He knew a lot about Rinze and helped us then.
- Yeah. He put a worm in my head while I was unconscious.
- That's a chill. They are sold in the List, Beata noticed them back then. They look disgusting and give you a slight headache, but they protect the mind well. The only downside is that they don't like heat, so we always carry a cooler with us.
- By the way, I'm glad I talked you into getting the chill.
- Yeah... You knew. Maybe someone else in our group will want to get one too. It's not the best protection in the world, but it's definitely better than nothing.
- So, we have a score to settle with this Rinze, and we really want to get even with her. Give us your papers, boss, we'll read them. Tomorrow, okay? And today, we can go to Evgeny and discreetly ask him some questions. I also wanted to order a prayer for Gillon's health... with his luck.
