- Ah, so that's why you're never at headquarters, you're fanatically isolating yourself from us and thinking about your own things, - Beata said sarcastically.
Gillon just rolled his eyes and shook his head, giving Klin a guilty smile.

—Something like that. —the Knight finished his tests. —The first one is somewhat similar to me, but mostly it doesn't resemble me much. —He didn't mention the curse that influenced his choice.
—And the second one suits better. True, I was speaking on behalf of my homeland, not as a resident of the capital.
— You have such a refined taste for tradition, —said the Inquisitor, —I would gladly listen to your stories about the customs of your homeland. Well, if you happen to have some free time.
"Perhaps, someday I will learn more about Criderar cuisine in order to try to please the already healed Clan with something inspired by it. Yes, it will be nothing more than an imitation of their culture, but still filled with the desire to please a loved one."
—All this is to some extent true, but the hero needs a reward primarily not for the hero, it will never compensate for all the exploits and risks, regardless of its presence and size. The reward is needed by the hero precisely by those who were saved. And no, the expectation of a reward does not undermine the sincerity of my act, because it is not the goal, it is a valuable ritual that makes the action complete. And it is easy to become infamous and receive evil for good, but again, who will suffer from this, who will be the loser? Obviously not the one who is ready to die at any moment of his life, he doesn't care, but those who turn away from those who did good, they deprive themselves of the future with their own hands. If they do everything right and perform the ritual of gratitude, even symbolically, then they ensure their prosperity, first spiritual, and then it will easily be converted into physical. That's all.
—Regarding the ability to live for oneself, I generally believe that there are no altruists in the full sense of the word. Every person lives precisely for himself, some simply find pleasure in something more mundane, such as accumulating wealth, while others are on many steps higher and their happiness lies in what this person does for the world, and I hope to be just such... But in the end, it's about personal feelings, so I don't want to compare who lives how, here you can say that those who seem less selfish in the eyes of others are simply lucky to acquire the right perception. Or they are trying to be like that by force, breaking themselves, but then it is unlikely to lead to anything good.

Since the guests somehow smoothly dispersed and the events somehow smoothly moved to after dinner, Beata looks mysteriously at the refrigerator locked with a lock, and Guyon tremblingly considers options for a stop word for the evening interrogation...
—As history shows, the fewer uninvited guests, the better... And I'm usually at headquarters in the evenings because I have another job during the day on weekdays. And unlike our boss, I haven't yet learned how to magically manage to be in both places at the same time. —the knight explained.
- Our boss just runs so fast that she travels through time and can be in two places at once, - Gillon chuckled.

—Those who readily rush to their death at any moment usually don't live long and are actually seeking that death, —Alaria allowed herself to be a bit of a nag, —true heroism requires a sensible and balanced approach, not just bravado. You can't force everyone to perform the "Ritual," unfortunately. Some of them may not even know that this hypothetical knight defeated a powerful demon, of which they would otherwise have been the victim. At the same time, it will be difficult to ignore the rumors spread by malicious tongues, so they will alienate the hero from themselves, not through their own evil intentions. Again, I agree with you that heroes should be valued, but situations in life are different. To be honest, I expected you to assess all this from a slightly different angle. That the reward for a hero is needed so that he can perform even more heroic deeds. So that the sword does not become dull and the armor is of good quality. So that there are enough supplies. Otherwise, at one point, he will fall victim to villains. Or he will be left with nothing and will be forced to take a break, working part-time in some tavern. Do you and I not know how unprofitable such a lifestyle is?
Since Kilika did not want to take Zlobina's tests, the ubiquitous Zostmer took advantage of the free forms. One and two.
- Well, I'm all for good and against everything bad.
-- Wow, really extreme results
-- No, although lately we have been spending quite a lot of budget money, but this is not really my style; I am used to fighting for victory literally in the middle of the ruins of civilization, finding, taking, and creating everything I need for it myself. Well, sometimes someone helps with something even in such conditions, but it was still difficult to say that rewards sponsor your new heroic deeds. And you know, it's quite interesting... But, of course, mercenary work in a team involves financial nuances that are harder to ignore.
— Hmm, so you're from a world where some kind of cataclysm happened, turning it into ruins? No wonder you don't miss your homeland at all.
first
— So many elaborate conclusions based on just choosing colors? — Aster chuckled, shuffling the color swatches like a deck of cards. — To me, it's like writing on water; you can poke around randomly, and maybe something will come close to the target in the results.
He lays out the second result.
— Federal-militarist, seriously? I probably missed something, heh. But otherwise, it's more accurate.
- That's exactly what I was thinking,” sighs the priestess. “He set an impossible task… Well, that’s his problem. Anyway, I sincerely wish you luck in your search. And…” – through some unclear manipulations, a pink amulet materializes in her palm. “Here, a charm for love and family happiness. As a thank you for the company.”

-- Not exactly. To put it briefly, there was one country, not a hegemon like Welfern, but extremely developed compared to its neighbors in both science and magic, especially the latter. It was a republic, although one particular, very scheming and deceitful person managed to gain power in the senate... This is actually why I don't like democracies; such power is a breeding ground for intrigues and corruption, which are practically impossible to overcome without an iron fist. This person initiated one grand project, and when enemies attacked the country, he got scared and decided to launch it without conducting final tests. His argument was: we built it for such cases, even if we didn't finish it completely, I know best! Well, and you can guess what happened next. A leak of infinite mana turned the city and a large area around it into a wasteland... But not the whole world, and not even the whole country, although all of this had unlimited potential for growth, and what happened to my world centuries later, I honestly don't know. I once had ambitions to stop that device, but I failed, unfortunately.
