Her fingers unclenched, and the girl paused for a moment, lost in thought, but then certain words triggered her, causing her to pinch Ghy's cheek again.
-- What, what? So, we had a shameless, murderous doctor in our team, a lover of jumping off roofs, is that it? Is that how you show gratitude to the one who put you back together piece by piece? You shouldn't dare say such things again. Author
Klin was returning home late in the evening, but he could theoretically have crossed paths with Erefir at headquarters.
-- Oh, Klink, can you stay a little longer today? I want to tell everyone some important things.
The girl let go of Ghy and put her hands on her hips. -- In general, when I take such an oath, I wouldn't even think that it has anything to do with military operations. You know, there are many words omitted. If you interpret it literally, it turns out that you shouldn't eat meat either, because it was alive and running around, so you should value life. Obviously, that's not what it's about. The harm inflicted on the enemy in war is rarely considered "intentional" and is more related to war crimes: killing civilians, prisoners, using weapons that unnecessarily inflict extra injuries... In other cases, your harm is not intentional, but necessary. You can't hold back, because otherwise you will actually inflict intentional harm on your allies... To me, it looks like this: by giving the enemy an advantage, you are killing your own. It's not about not killing, no, as a warrior, you must choose who you will kill, and in my opinion, that choice is obvious.
-- Not to mention that, no offense, but it all sounds a bit... Ambiguous, even if your side is guaranteed to win. I mean, while your friends are killing someone, you'll stand next to them and condemn them, but you're somehow not involved, your hands are clean?
She gave Ghy and Beata another thoughtful look and waved her hand.
-- In principle, if you want to incapacitate the enemy in battle without killing them, it's a useful skill. I can imagine combat situations where it would backfire on us, but overall it's useful; we'll be able to take prisoners. However, I don't know how you should achieve this: in my opinion, you should learn it yourself. A medical textbook? Maybe it will help, yes. Some kind of magical gloves from me? Well, while we were talking, I had an idea of how to make gloves that would cauterize wounds, making them non-lethal... But I'm not a doctor; until I create and test them, we can't be sure that it will work. You can try to find such a specialist somewhere in the city and ask him to teach you. Maybe among the guards? It's literally their job to capture criminals in such a way that there is someone to interrogate without the help of a necromancer. Of course, even if you find such a person, it's not a given that he will agree to be a mentor just like that; it's highly unlikely.
"Bleeding stacks are not injuries 😡" "Besides, I didn't say anything about inflicting meaningful injuries when there's a real combat advantage to it, just saying, no implications intended..."
Her fingers relaxed, and the girl paused for a moment, lost in thought, but then certain words triggered her, causing her to bite Gia on the cheek again.
-- What, what? ) We had a conscienceless doctor-killer in our team, a lover of jumping off roofs, is that what you mean? Is that your level of gratitude to the one who put you back together piece by piece? You shouldn't say such things anymore.
- Ah-ah-ah, that's not what I meant! I just didn't express myself well!😅🥺 Okay, okay. "To be fair, she didn't put you back together piece by piece, by the way. And besides, you were the one who brought her up first." Ment
The girl let go of Gia and put her hands on her hips. -- In general, I wouldn't even think that such an oath has anything to do with military actions. You know, there are a lot of words omitted, and if you interpret it literally, it turns out that you can't even eat meat, because it was alive and running around, so you have to value life. Obviously, that's not what it's about. The harm caused to the enemy in war is rarely called "intentional" and is more related to war crimes: killing civilians, prisoners, using weapons that unnecessarily inflict extra injuries... In other cases, your harm is not intentional, but necessary. You can't hold back, because otherwise you will inflict real intentional harm on your allies... For me, that's exactly how it looks: by giving the enemy an advantage, you are killing your own. It's not about not killing, no, you, as a warrior, must choose who exactly you will kill, and in my opinion, that choice is obvious.
- I've thought about it, and if it comes down to life and death, I won't hesitate. Nevertheless, enemies are also people and deserve to be treated humanely when appropriate. Who knows, maybe after showing mercy, not all of them will remain our enemies. - As one great doctor said, "They are armed, I am not, so the moral high ground is on my side." - Well said. And who was that doctor? - I have no idea, I just heard that some doctor said that, who, strangely enough, later saved the world. Maybe you will be like that too.Ment
-- Not to mention that, no offense, but it all sounds a bit... Ambiguous, even if your side is guaranteed to win. I mean, while your friends are killing someone, you'll just stand there and judge, and you won't be involved, your hands will be clean?
- I am primarily responsible for myself and my own actions, I do not judge or justify anyone. The gods gave people free will precisely so that everyone can decide for themselves how they will act. You did not commit to respecting human life, and I have no problem with that.Ment
Another thoughtful look at Gia, then at Beata, and she waved her hand.

-- These are my thoughts.
At the words about the guards, Beata burst out laughing hysterically. - I don't recommend it, they're a lost cause, these guys pull out their swords in any unclear situation and try to spill guts, don't ask me how I know. - I could probably talk to Ayano... But the problem is that she disappears somewhere again. I think she would help me. - Oh, that elusive priestess. I'll start getting jealous of her soon. - I would gladly introduce you, but it's not working out. But I think it makes sense to ask around. However, I think that some equipment will be easier, I can put it on and take it off at my discretion.
So, Crag will just give you the artifact, but won't teach you the skill. He doesn't know about Bors, except that he might have seen him briefly. And the Cult of Harmony requires the Priest class.
Guyon: We must be merciful to our enemies; they are people too! Erephir: Excellent, we can take prisoners, interrogate them, and torture them mercilessly!
To be fair, she didn't piece me back together bit by bit, by the way.
She put me back together after Tais. Author
- I could probably talk to Ayano...
-- Ayano? Oh, I see. Okay, we'll figure it out. If you give me an action point, I'll try to make the gloves right away; if not, I'll put it in the queue. Although, in any case, it's highly likely that your oath won't play a role in our next mission.
Erephir smiles slyly and takes out a certificate from Chronos. -- Congratulations on obtaining new professions, and I'll let you know that you won't outsmart me so easily, -- she sticks her tongue out.
So, how would he know? She looks like someone who has that ability or at least could teach it.Ment
Gathered after Tais.
He missed Tais; he and Nysho were hanging out in the mountains while we were chilling in Tais. Ment
Gathered after Tais. -- Ayano is who? Oh, I get it. Okay, we'll figure it out. If you give me an action point, I'll try to make the gloves as soon as possible; if not, I'll put it in the queue.
🤸♀️: Unfortunately, we're already exhausted... But we can take on the Kraken together in Drowned City, although it's terribly expensive, and we have other plans for our finances. But what can you do for the common good?Ment
Although, most likely, your oath won't play a role in our next mission.
👨🦽: I'm already scared... Do I want to know? 🤸♀️: Yes, boss... What's the mission this time? And, by the way, how is Naera doing?Ment

🤸♀️: O-o-o-o-o, congratulations!!! The day went productively for all of us! We definitely need to celebrate this 😤 👨🦽: Yes, my congratulations! I never doubted it 👍
- Getting a six out of ten isn't that hard, especially when you're hanging around someone like Sonata-chan and getting a little bit of her grace. And I also learned that sometimes, all it takes is a perfect smile, and you can even take a picture of it. And for this knowledge, gained in three hours, I had to sign a contract with my blood for the next year... But never mind. How are things? If I go by my memories of the days gone by, I could say it was just a normal routine, but that's not the case. Actually, it's a complicated question, because in the fog of memories of the past months, it's hard to dig up a reliable memory of what was and what wasn't – they're so mixed up. For example, I can't remember if you were at the opening of my [A]. I'm absolutely sure you should have been there, but for some reason, I can't remember almost any of the faces from there. Maybe I was so nervous that I imagined them all as potatoes? In some news article, it could be described like this: "how Margel has improved since," uh... I guess, from a linguistic point of view, it would be correct to say "since Draco Mellise," but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. ... ... "What kind of strange cart did I just drive?" - my head tilted to the side for a couple of seconds before I shrugged mentally and raised my eyebrows.
He missed Tais; he and Nysha were hanging out in the mountains while we were chilling in Tais.
Even if only for a second, the redhead's expression changed to something like this, as she remembered something.
"Right, you're one of those easy workers. I had forgotten. And you dare to tell me again that you don't want to give 100%, for reasons that supposedly don't depend on you. It's amazing how some people have no conscience..."Author
🤸♀️: Alas, we're exhausted ourselves... But we can take down a kraken together in Drowned City, although it's terribly expensive, and we have other plans for our finances. But what can you do for the common good?
-- Yes, that's roughly what I was hinting at, but look. I personally don't care, the question is about you.Author
👨🦽: I'm already scared... Do I want to know? 🤸♀️: Yes, boss... What is it this time? And, by the way, how is Naera?

"Hey, I'm a former apostle of Laziness, it's in my status."Ment
-- Yes, that's what I was hinting at, but look. I personally don't care, the question is about you.
- Okay! We'll see what we can do, we'll keep it in mind! - Beata smiled. "Honestly, boss, I also think that Guiyosha is wasting his time. But... I know he wants it, and it will make him feel better, and I respect his wishes."Ment
-- I'll tell you when everyone is gathered. Milady is resting, I haven't seen her. It's clear that it wasn't easy for her, but I managed to deliver the gift. -- Thank you, guys )
— Hmm, maybe a bit off-topic, but where are you from, by the way? I'm a little curious, especially after your comment yesterday about fruit punch.
- I'm from here, from Margel. And you?
Added 6 minutes later While other Carneolians were engaged in charitable activities, Kilika is lying on the couch and reading Carneolian literature (beauty, spirit, luck, SM).
- By the way, Chief, we need to do something about Astellia. In a good way!
- Uh-huh. I help her out a little sometimes, and Beata helps with small things too...
- We clean up after ourselves, keep the room tidy, and so on.
- ...yes, and that too. But we still need to start thinking about her maternity leave. The closer the due date, the less beneficial physical exertion is for her; I'm saying this as a doctor. Complications could arise.
- Uh-huh. We need someone new for this position.
- I could take on the role myself; it wouldn't be difficult for me, but...
- ...but you're more valuable to us as a warrior and doctor, Guiosh. And you don't have enough time to properly maintain order.
- Yes, unfortunately. I'm currently thinking, are there any suitable candidates we know of, someone among our acquaintances...?
- Right now, all the suitable candidates are busy with the center's reconstruction.
- I don't think that's entirely true. We provide housing and a salary – I think someone who has lost their job and home would be happy to take the position.
- That's true. But I wouldn't want to bring in just anyone; we need to be careful about this.
