Have you both heard the story of Trude's lineage? - Seeing from the faces of those present that they have, he continues. - I will not undertake to confirm or deny it; what is important here is that the essence here is similar.

—In that case, Sanex is always nearby. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm against taking advantage of the benefits of this... uh... fruit, I just think she needs it more. In any other situation, I would have snatched it with both hands, ha-ha-ha, — the girl laughed awkwardly, — as for healing... I won't give you false hope, but in my homeland, I've heard of ways to cure your ailment. About magical potions that can reverse this process. Or about cleansing flames that heal the body and soul. I would like to learn something like that myself someday, implying that I am capable, but I'm not even sure if it's just a myth. You, most importantly, don't lose hope. As for the news, — Alaria hesitated slightly, — first, I'm glad for you. My visit went... strangely, even though I was allowed to exist in this world. I can't say for sure yet, whether it was out of pity or genuine hope for my reformation. So I'm trying to rethink my approach to life now.

Perhaps Narya also thinks we're sweet, she's just too shy to say it. She has to hint at it.-- It's good to hear. Well then. If you'll allow, my first question: new skills have appeared in the Imperial Archive, extremely difficult to learn, but extremely useful for any warrior. I and several other people will probably want to improve our qualifications by acquiring new knowledge about the "School of the Elements of Baldur," but do we have a month for this? Will it interfere with possible work? We hope to become noticeably better as a result of the training.

-- Also, a question regarding your glorious family business. As far as I know, the great imperial family of Es Desra Arual owns mines with deposits of natural resources, but perhaps, in addition to this, for the sake of consistency, there is also a certain amount of cosmic ore that falls from the sky... As a blacksmith, I would very much like to buy some of it for personal money, for myself and my squad. The goal, of course, is to create unique equipment, which, unfortunately, is beyond my capabilities in terms of skills for ordinary materials. And although the combat effectiveness of the squad will increase significantly from this, this request is still very personal, so I will not regret the earned rems if you agree. If, of course, I find them sufficient, and the request itself is feasible, -- a bow.

—Re-education? Hmm... I don't know what the High Priest told you; it's not my business, and I doubt it will help you to listen to a half-dead servant, but I'll say it anyway. I'll say the same thing I wanted to say to Ken when we met, but I probably won't get the chance... Alaria, you are a wonderful person, and I am glad that I was lucky enough to have you both as allies in the south. No matter what they say about you, no matter what happened in the past, what threatens you in the present, and what the future holds, I hope that you will definitely succeed and achieve everything you desire.

— An organization?... — the Tanarisi girl gave the couple a questioning look, — But I can do various things, yes. Like making classic omelets and something a bit more complex. Although, I confess, — she shyly scratched the back of her head, — pastries and milkshakes are my passion. They partly motivated me to take on this job. And what about you, by the way? What do you do? You clearly look like experienced, well-trained individuals.

— Well, um, since we've switched to "you," why not? And I know about the school; I was even a little surprised to see it in the local archive. As for the story, — Alaria said, — I think a personal experience is better than any retelling. But if you need a brief synopsis, the story revolves around a group of young people, siblings not by blood, but by upbringing. I think everyone will find something for themselves. There's romance there, even if it's not in the foreground. There are plenty of adventures. And drama, yes, but it's better to see it as the story unfolds. If I tell you directly how it all ends, it won't have the desired effect.

- Well, it's clear that we don't go on vacation!

>the previous mission

- We are mercenaries. Adventurers. We arrived here a few months ago and found steady work. It's a dangerous job, of course, but it's perfect for guys like us.
- Sometimes too dangerous... - Gillon sighed. - Prone to injuries.
- Oh, you certainly know how to make a good impression...
- I'm just warning Alaria about the consequences of this lifestyle.
- Well, it's clear that we don't go on vacation! But we have fun, a good team, and a loyal boss.
- And it's easy to make enemies...

- Don't remind me... Anyway, if you're interested, we can tell the boss and arrange for you to meet them sometime.

- For now, there are no plans to send Carneol anywhere, but this situation can change at any moment, so this matter is entirely up to you and your subordinates. Our warehouses are full of ore, but unfortunately, not of the cosmic kind. This is an extremely rare acquisition, and it usually doesn't just sit around unused.

— Believe me, I know all the hardships of a mercenary's life, — Alaria smiled, — I used to do it myself. It's a good way to broaden your horizons and meet people from all over the world, learn about their culture and the peculiarities of their mentality. But yes, it's a very dangerous profession, — the Tanarrian couldn't help but note the phrase about "acquired enemies," — and the income, in my personal experience, is not the most stable. Especially with all the expenses.

— Hmm, I'll keep that in mind. I've never heard of a mercenary group looking for a cook before. Usually, someone in the field makes do with rations, or even makes snake soup. You have an unusual organization, — the warrior said thoughtfully, and then quickly added, — but I'll warn you right away that I don't know how to make snake soup. This is just an abstract example, he-he.

no matter how close friends they are

This character doesn't feel any attachment to anyone.

-- Well, I understand. It seems that creating the weapon of my dreams will have to be postponed indefinitely, but there's no reason to be upset; the Empire, and Her Highness in particular, have already given us so much, -- the last part was, of course, about Naria.

"Maybe someday I'll go on a journey and find what I need myself," thought Erefir, perfectly aware that she wouldn't give 5,000 to merchants, no matter how close friends they were.

-- I have no more questions, -- all the numerous topics for conversation at the moment of the patron's departure were reduced to the two mentioned above. A bow. -- I sincerely thank you for your time, Milady. Please, when she returns, convey to your Esteemed Sister from us words of infinite gratitude for all her work and care. And I will keep our meeting in my heart.

"Being a mercenary is still not as dangerous as being a bandit," Beata thought, but said something completely different out loud.
 - Well, we have a stable minimum salary, but there are excellent bonuses for successful work! And yes, it's dangerous. I almost died twice on this job.
 - And I was left alone in the middle of nowhere twice and had to find ways to get back on my own... I almost didn't make it.
 - But again, good bonuses, good gifts, a good team, and very good management. Overall, there are more pros than cons.

 - Well, that's what makes us such an unusual group! Any talents will be useful to us, - on this phrase, Beata tried very hard to look Alaria in the face, and not at her "talents."
 - Snake soup... I don't think I want to try that, - Gion remembered how Nisho gnawed on raw snake meat at night, and he felt a little sick. - Although, if there's nothing else to eat...

- Farewell, Erefir Linel Darvening. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. - Naera casts a spell, and Erefir gains +10 to luck. - And this is a parting gift from me.
