Erephir returns to Carneol, where he finds Alaria, Beata, and Gion in the process of absorbing knowledge.
— How are you doing with your reading, kittens? And I brought another book, met the author, and he, being a generous soul, gifted it to me.
"Kittens? Not the best choice of words. I hope Beata won't burst into tears from such a comparison." — Very informative, — Alaria didn't make a joke about the emperors' love affairs, because of which half of Margel might be related to the ruling family, — I wouldn't have even thought about some things before I started reading the chronicles. It even made me a little curious to take a look at Velfern in the past. The Tanarsian looked at the commander with interest. — And what is the book, if it's not a secret?
- Konnichiwa. Do we look like priests? - she asks, looking at her neighbor in surprise, then returns to her thoughtful contemplation. - My name is Yamagami Aiyano, and this is Ravenage Lord. We are looking for Linette Saturnia Ulysses. Are you her? There is something we would like to discuss. Author
Said Aiyano, who proudly wears +15% evasion and refuses to open the weight loss book from her inventory...
That's right. Books are trash, just other people's thoughts written on paper.
"Kittens? Not the best choice of words. I hope Beata won't burst into tears from such a comparison." — Very insightful, — Alaria didn't joke about the emperors' love affairs, because of which half of Margel might be related to the ruling family, — I wouldn't have even thought about some things before I started reading the chronicles. It even made me a little curious to take a look at the Welfern of the past. The Tanarsian looked at the commander with interest. — And what book is it, if it's not a secret?
— The most direct connection to our series, the most direct, — she puts a book on the table. — Well, I guess I need to catch up with you. Today... — she looks out the window. — Will we have time to see King Flanaravi? But I want to try to get to Emperor Raidar and give him due credit for his help. In general, I'll be happy to discuss it.)
Beata silently gives a thumbs up 👍 without looking away from her book.
Guyon looks up at the cover, thinks about something, nods, and looks back down at the book that he and Beata are reading.
-- The most direct connection to our series, the most direct one, -- he puts a book on the table. -- Well, I guess I need to catch up with you. Today... -- a glance out the window. -- Will we have time to reach King Flanaravi? But I want to try to get to Emperor Raidar and give him due credit for his help. In general, I'll be happy to discuss it.
— Oh, that's interesting! A funny coincidence. "Actually, it's a good addition to the library. Because it's a bit awkward to know about some wife of Shinalun only that they "shinaluned" together, in front of everyone, every morning." — And whether you'll get there or not depends only on you. Some people are so absent-minded, lost in their thoughts, that they have to reread the same paragraph four times. But you don't seem to be one of them, so the question is more about reading speed.
On a free day, Garret indulges in another reading session and reads the following volumes from the series of imperial chronicles. Author
VII - Saikam es Diesra Arual -1 OD, -4 hours. +10% to health or +5 to luck.
A reclusive monarch, a learned man, to whom governing the state was probably a burden, since his interests were not very related to state affairs. And yet, he coped with his duties with honor during wartime, which means he did not wear the royal crown in vain. Author
VIII - Sillion es Diesra Arual -1 OD, -4 hours. +100 to SM or +5 HP.
A king-mage? After finishing the book about Sillion, the protagonist pondered how magic works in this world. Strangely enough, at different times he could, in a sense, consider himself to belong to both of the mentioned categories of mages. Thus, the Vistrian Garret possessed the potential to raise the dead, being a follower of the nameless deity, and the Anuzish, for a very short time, possessed a mysterious artifact-cube that allowed him to perform spells, bypassing the loss of abilities during cosmic conversion. Although he was not particularly interested in standard magical fields, fate, apparently, put everything in its place for the warrior-crossbowman. There were not many thoughts about Sillion himself, but they were very positive. In other hands, his power would probably have led to catastrophes, but to his credit, he was convinced of using his extraordinary abilities for peaceful purposes, which ensured his subjects a long period of calm and prosperity. Author
IX - Flanaravi es Diesra Arual -1 OD, -4 hours. 50 experience points each day (static)
And here is the one who would hardly stop before using magical forces on a large-scale aggressive plan. However, apparently, the power of the king-mage was not passed on to his successor. Flanaravi is somewhat reminiscent of Delsahid in his inclination towards military affairs, and even their fate is similar. It is also noteworthy that both militarists did not rule even a quarter of the life of the peaceful Sillion. Author
X - Welfern es Diesra Arual -1 OD, -4 hours. +25% to the total reward for completed quests.
A very bright and multifaceted personality, the first Margelian emperor. Combining harsh repressions with freedom of activity, he effectively changed the structure of the country in his own way, and even did not hesitate to name the newly formed empire after himself. And against the background of his biography, it becomes clear what inspires the guild philosophers when choosing topics for discussion; one can say that they thus pay tribute to their founder.
- Konnichiwa. Don't we look like priests? - she asks her companion in surprise, then returns to her thoughtful contemplation. - My name is Yamagami Aiyano, and this is Ravenage Lord. We are looking for Linette Saturnia Ulysses. Is that you? We have a matter we would like to discuss.
- That's right, Linette Saturnia Ulysses is me. And yes, you do resemble those who engage in proselytization. Yamagami and Ravenage? Quite unusual names. - These are surnames. - Aiyano's companion explained. - So why did you say them in reverse order? Never mind... What is the matter?
- Then, what is actually derived from the lesser by the laws of the universe, and not the other way around. But at the moment, that's not really important. The task itself isn't particularly complicated – to go to one awful place and bring the awful processes happening there to a logical conclusion, while simultaneously rendering the awful perpetrators incapable of further action. As part of a group consisting of myself, him, and about fifteen other people. I've heard that something like this falls within your area of expertise.
— Oh, how interesting! A curious coincidence. "Actually, it's a good addition to the library. It's a bit awkward to know about some of Shinalun's wives only that they were "shinaluning" with him, in plain sight, every morning." — But whether you'll succeed or not depends only on you. Some people are so absent-minded, lost in their thoughts, that they have to reread the same paragraph four times. But you don't seem to be one of them, so the question is more about reading speed.
— My reading speed seems fine, but sometimes I have to reread some details that I missed because I was rushing... In my humble opinion, you are more consistent than I am.)
And the Knight began. First of all, she updated the list of tasks in her diary, deciding that lately she hasn't been thinking broadly enough, and if there is a list, it should be a list: 29. Expand this list to fifty completed tasks. 30. Find a capable student and pass on the Knowledge to him. 31. Create a means of long-range communication. 32. Visit 10 countries or regions (5/10). 33. Learn a new profession. 34. A task of particular difficulty: make sure that there are no minuses in the charlist and that new ones stop appearing after battles. 35. Return something that was lost. 36. Read 20 books with effects (?/20). 37. Publish a book.Author
"Ah, if you put a hot-headed teenager in charge of a country, you end up with a lot of wars just because you have to expand your territory. King Sillione didn't know what he was raising... However, power rarely expands its influence exclusively through peaceful means or as a result of rather noble wars; in this respect, the previous kings have a surprisingly amiable nature in relation to the reality of many countries. Perhaps I'll say that after this reminder, I will have even more respect for the items from one to eight than before."Author
"This monarch is 50/50, yes... Although I understand his logic. Any concessions for the subjects so that they are not bored, are happy, and ultimately are loyal: this is critical in the case of the violent annexation of new regions with their own dynasties. Another person in his place would have used religion for his own purposes, or would have relied on the feeling of fear, but Welfern decided to act for sure, suppressing even the question "Why should we revolt?" among the nobility, which now has twice as much fun with hunting, fishing, theater... And with what is not customary to talk about, because it is sad."Author

"Aconia in pants"
"I wonder if the real Aconia wore pants? Hmm, what was I saying? In reality, the most interesting thing in this volume is the immense power of the emperor, which, however, did not have a detrimental effect on his mind and wisdom, which made him think ahead for centuries instead of indulging his ego here and now. Some of the ruling otherworldly wizards I know would definitely benefit from learning from him... But that other, instructive story is for another evening, and now all the concentration is on the monarchs of Welfern and only on them."
"In the end, now that I know about you, Eleventh Monarch, I thank you for your help, even though I don't know what it was caused by. Perhaps you will continue to bless me to the best of your ability to protect Anush and your country, because now I definitely and clearly know the strength of your love for the Empire..."
- Then, what is greater does not derive from what is lesser according to the laws of the universe, but rather the opposite. But at the moment, that's not really important. And the task itself isn't particularly complicated – to go to one terrible place and bring the unpleasant processes happening there to a logical conclusion, while also rendering the unpleasant perpetrators incapable of action. As part of a group consisting of him, me, and about a dozen other people. I heard that something like this is right up your alley.
- Well, you're in Margel, which means your foreign laws of the universe take a backseat to the local laws and customs. - She shrugged. - What about the opponents and the payment?
