GUYS, LORD CAN’T HEAR US ANYMORE, LOL, WHAT A LOSER.

— Beauty alone is not enough, esteemed lady,” Alaria said with a polite smile, — Granhildr has a rich history, and it was also enchanted by a master from Noir to preserve its luster in conditions unsuitable for ordinary weapons and to please you with its appearance even after many years. And it can never be lost by its owner, as long as he does not wish to part with it.

— Is that so? Hmm... That’s very interesting. Alright, I’ll pay one thousand and five hundred rem for it.

Lord throws the "gray cat" out the window

I, by the way, expected that sooner or later he would do it.

Actually, I expected him to do this sooner or later.

The gray voices drive you mad even more than Rinze's whispers.

Rinze's Whisper offers sensible advice, rather than driving you mad. For example, he condemns the Cold Ones.

Merel is a one-woman man and faithful to the woman who put a ring on his finger, how sweet.

He respects mages.

In short, IF EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY AS WE DISCUSSED, NO TRICKS OR CATCHES, AND THIS WILL ALLOW ALARIA TO RETURN TO MARGEL ALIVE, SAFE, AND WITHOUT DEBUFFS, THEN FINE, I'LL SELL GRANHILDR. Otherwise, I'll do things differently, and I'll have to die in a duel...

Someone might say that giving up a sword voluntarily is like giving up a warrior's soul. Perhaps, in another situation, Alaria would even agree with this statement. But now, she was bound by duty. She had to return to Margel as soon as possible and deliver the news to Her Majesty. Working at the "Sphinx"? Two months of downtime, during which you could be robbed and killed. Selling her body? Even if we ignore the humiliation, it's two weeks of downtime. You could catch some disease from the "clients" and ruin your health for the rest of your life. You could accidentally become a mother. How much use would Naria have for such a servant? And even if she doesn't catch the eye of some rich man, to whom a lonely foreigner will be handed over, body and soul. Hyenas? Certain death. Killing bandits? Certain death. A duel? There were chances, but in case of failure, the news would not reach Her Majesty. Was her attachment to her sword worth such a risk?
Thus, selling Gran힐dr was the most reliable, albeit not ideal, option. It didn't require time, and the probability of returning home looked the highest. It was bitter and frustrating to lose a weapon that had served you well, but health, life, and duty were more important. The experience with Melesar made this clearer than ever. And things? Things come and go. Despite her love for material possessions, Alaria understood this well. And Naria never skimped on funding her servants, if you believe Klin's sleepy mumblings about "Soul Eater." One hundred thousand. A gift for one hundred thousand." and Alaria's own experience. All that remained was to hope that she wouldn't skimp now, even if the new weapon doesn't compare to its predecessor. And that she will properly appreciate the loyalty shown.

- I'm glad you've realized that. It takes about ten to fifteen years of practice to strengthen your will to the point where you can maintain your sanity. Some have committed terrible acts or even lost their lives by following the voices in their heads.

2. Fish
Choose from: Teneda/Hayamka/Miyuka/Satoma/Inorka.

"It turns out there are some here too... Hmm... Satoma with honey notes, or Teneda with the same, but slightly less pronounced, yet with a deeper flavor? The classically refreshing Hayamka, nostalgically bringing back childhood memories? Miyuka? Usually, it's smoked; I wonder what form it takes here – with or without smoke? Or a light, delicate, dietary Inorka?" - The priestess pondered this question very deeply, continuously performing all possible calculations in her mind for a minute, starting from the last time she tasted a particular variety, continuing with possible variations of assumptions about how it might have been prepared here, and to her displeasure, ending with the intrusive thoughts about the calorie content of each variety.

Finally, she had an epiphany – as if a bright flash of a four-pointed star flickered briefly at eye level.
- Kimeta! - The fingernail of her index finger confidently tapped the last item, which in this context implied a combination of Miyuka with steamed broccoli. - A medium-fat, delicate fish with a distinct flavor, perfectly balanced by the unobtrusive, vegetable neutrality and crispness of the broccoli, in a noble synthesis filling the body and soul with all the necessary components, and not a single milligram of excess. Yes, that's it," she said again, crossing her arms over her chest and closing her eyes, and with respect, she nodded to her brilliant conclusion.

Amamius: +1427 resources.
Beata: +811 resources.
Erephir: +372 resources.
Kalina: +322 resources.
Kilika: +99 resources.
Merel: +165 resources.

- I have an idea, - after the survey is completed, Amamius initiates a conversation with Erephir, - I think you already know that I'm not a good fighter, so how about I don't participate in potential battles? If you get captured, I can return to the capital and report what happened.

Hey, maybe right after selling it, you could go to the shop and buy something to replace it? Just in case.

A hint from the GM.

Guion habitually tore out the diary page and hid it in a secret compartment. His hands were trembling, his heart pounding. Why was he so persistently rummaging through his memories, dragging into the light all the most painful moments, the most humiliating recollections? A normal person would have long forgotten that nightmare and preferred to never remember it, yet he was turning himself inside out, reducing himself to tears and shaking hands, forcing himself to recall every detail of that horror. Did it help him? Perhaps — in the long run. Right now, he just wanted to lie down and stare at the ceiling.
The curse still hung over him. He was still a powerless thing, unable to fight back. But Beata, it seemed, had completely forgotten about that. She almost never pressured him. She was always ready to hear him out, consider his options, discuss his ideas. Rarely, very rarely did she command him with full force, and even then — more often than not, it was for his own good.
"Let me know if you feel unwell."
"Get treated and follow all the doctor's recommendations."
"Do what you think is right, just come back alive."
"Don't you dare die."
The feeling of his own inadequacy still hadn't left him. But in this form... It was something he could live with. And even derive pleasure from life.

Ples, maybe right after the sale, you can go to the store and buy something to replace it? Just in case.

As we discussed with Revan, after selling Alaric, he immediately arrives in Margel and ends up in the same limbo as Nysha, Gillon, and Yulizia. Otherwise, I wouldn't sell him. And if that's not the case, then I won't sell...

Oh yes, and if everything is tip-top (as much as it can be called that in the current situation, lol), and no changes to the Haven system are planned, I'll put 2 points (510 experience) into charisma.

And Rinze’s was not dusty.

How about I don't participate in potential battles?

We had one like that...
A mercenary who doesn't participate in battles.
