Alaria won't ask Sanex to return her sword, so don't worry about that.
Added 15 minutes later Author
-- I know that swords often remain in good condition at the bottom of seas, rivers, and swamps for hundreds of years: silt is a sufficiently good anaerobic environment for this, -- assured the redhead to the inquisitor.
— It would be quite ironic to retrieve a high-tech sword, which was cutting-edge at the time of its arrival here, a couple of centuries later, when it will already be a hopelessly outdated model, — the Tanarian smiled benignly, — so, let's hope that they will be found someday.
- Heinos's shield is good, but he doesn't really know how to use it, - Sonata explains that the character's accuracy is added to the shield's accuracy and subtracted from the opponent's accuracy, - they are all not used to fighting with anything other than swords, so it won't be of much use in their hands, but in principle... In principle, it can be given to Gaheris and tasked with guarding, for example, you and Kayasu. I agree with you about the kunai and other weapons; they are quite situational, but they can be useful; we need to see what news Lord brings back. Author
- Who knows? - Mika concludes. - But who drew these portraits, and based on what? Some visions in their feverish mind? Maybe, in reality, everything is exactly as it is, and logically, that is more likely. And again, we will never know the whole truth, but maybe that's for the best. When the space of ideas is open, that is always good.
- Thank you, Mika-sama. Hmm, maybe you have any wishes? An idea that you would like me to bring to life on canvas after a successful return home?
While the guys were chatting, the youngest of the phantoms returned. He looked very tired but had no injuries. Borrowing paper and a brush from the artist, he drew a diagram of the dungeon's floors.
First level - Entrance from the west. The situation here is slightly different from the information we know: in the lake, there are those strange creatures that you mentioned earlier, - Sonata's gaze, - charred, without faces, eyes, or noses. Apparently, they are ready to jump out of the water and attack at any moment.
Second level - For unknown reasons, there are two fewer golems on the second floor. I marked the line with a red line beyond which the stone guardians begin to attack intruders.
Third level - In the northern part are the chambers of the elite members of the coven, below them are the chambers of all the others, and in the center is the main hall.
Fourth level - Entrance from the south, to the right are the slave cells, to the left are rooms with various tools. The passage to the fifth level is blocked by stones; it is possible to clear the passage, but this will definitely attract the attention of the cultists, so it is better to eliminate them first.

- Okay. In that case, my question will be addressed to Astellia. I tried to ask about this earlier, but the arrival of guests interrupted our conversation. How do you find life in Margel compared to your native Lauria?
- I think that people here live a little more freely and have more opportunities to pursue their personal aspirations, while at home, a person's fate is often determined by the family and circumstances in which he was born. And life here is more diverse in certain aspects, although only the gods know if that is good or bad. My question then is for everyone: who do you respect the most in life?
- It seems to me that people live a little more freely here and have more opportunities to pursue their personal aspirations, whereas at home, a person's fate is often determined by the family they were born into and the circumstances surrounding their birth. And life here is more diverse in certain aspects, although only the gods know whether that's a good thing or not.
- Yes, there are definitely more opportunities here, - Beata nodded in agreement. - And as for the diversity... sometimes it's good, and sometimes not so much 😅 - Gion smiled.Teriteri
My question for everyone is - who do you respect the most in life?
Beata and Gion instantly pointed at each other. - ...and also my boss, Evgeny, and His Highness, - Beata added. Gion nodded in agreement. - And in general, our whole team, - he added. - Yes, something like that, - Beata nodded.
In principle, you could give it to Gaheris and task him with guarding, for example, you and Kayasu.
- I wanted to equip him with a crossbow, - the priestess strokes the phantom's staff. - Unless it's just for swapping, but then it won't be used... Maybe we should give it to An-tan? His accuracy, unlike his character, is quite good, he'll manage something. Ignoring the artifact shield when they have 100 HP each, and the overall result isn't that great, isn't very wise...Author
- Thank you, Miko-sama. Hmm, perhaps you have some wishes? An idea that you would like me to capture on canvas after a successful return home?
- Hmmm... A collage featuring all of us seems obvious, but also cliché. You probably wouldn't be interested in painting something like that, but if you want, the choice is yours. Otherwise, maybe... Us with Sonata in Kamimori, doing something? Or at least her, my presence isn't critical. Just to remember these unusual, but pleasant days. Can you do it?Author
While the guys were chatting, the youngest of the phantoms returned. He looked very tired, but had no injuries.
Barely breathing, Ayano smiles encouragingly at him with relief: - I had no doubt that everything would go well. You're not the type to break promises.Author
- The entrance is from the west. The situation here is slightly different from the information we know: there are those strange creatures in the lake that you mentioned earlier, - she looks at Sonata, - charred, without faces, eyes, or noses. Apparently, they are ready to jump out of the water and attack at any moment.
- Are they dolphins or something? Do you have a rough idea of how many there are, what the depth is, how agile and dangerous they are? Maybe Kayasa-kocho can do something and vaporize them beforehand?Author
- For some unknown reason, there are two fewer golems on the second floor. I have marked with a red line the boundary beyond which the stone guardians begin to attack intruders.
- They probably moved to other floors. Maybe they caused the collapse on the fifth floor, or are dismantling it? We should remember that in this case, they can appear anywhere. I just hope that Dakini can't jump on one of them, otherwise it won't be good.Author
- In the northern part are the chambers of the elite members of the covenant, below them are the chambers of all the others, and in the center is the main hall.
- ...the hall resembles a red moon. What a coincidence... Is the black color a chasm or rock? And, is... "something" happening there at the moment? What about the enemies?Author
- The entrance is from the south, to the right are the slave cells, to the left are rooms with various tools.
- Are there many slaves? What is their condition?Author
The passage to the fifth level is blocked by stones, it is possible to clear the passage, but this will definitely attract the attention of the cultists, so it is better to eliminate them first.
- That's strange... I can imagine various scenarios of how this could have happened, but the most obvious seems to be that they raised some very strong and aggressive monster, which caused this collapse. Thank Kami if it buried itself under the rubble, but that's too wishful thinking...
- What about the inhabitants/slaves in general? Monsters, enemies, approximate numbers? Is there anything unusual about... - not finishing the sentence, she just nods towards the black hannya.
- It seems to me that people live a little more freely here and have more opportunities to pursue their personal aspirations, whereas at home, a person's fate is often determined by the family they were born into and the circumstances surrounding their birth.

"Hmm, so there's a class society in Lauria? I'll need to find out more about it when I have the time. Although I already want to learn a lot, hehe." - Thank you, that was a very informative answer. As for life, it depends on a person's aspirations, I suppose. Some want to change their lives, while others, on the contrary, miss the conditional stability.Author
My question for everyone then is - who do you respect the most in life?
- Elrina Seymour, my good friend, with whom we have helped each other out many times and have been inseparable. A brave and extremely talented woman who faced all of life's adversities with her head held high," Alaria didn't have to think for long; her friend's name came to mind immediately after the question was asked. "Besides her, the woman I once worked for and some of my other colleagues," it was a little strange to call Twaise a "colleague," despite belonging to the same Faction, but the same could be said about characterizing Sonata simply as a "woman I worked for," "as well as, as Beata and Guion mentioned before me, Her Majesty and our team.
My question for everyone is: who do you respect the most in life?
-- My suzerain, -- Fyr said without hesitation. -- I won't explain, the reasons should be clear... In this life, I owe her everything; in this regard, both dignity and duty are involved. And at a slightly lower, but still very high level, I would place a huge number of people, both living and those who have left us, including my parents and all my mentors, as well as some saints and deities. Let's say, I still speak well of the singularities of Stallion and Ruby, and of course, the Cosmos. The Dragon King, although he didn't do anything special for me personally, earned my respect with his strength. True... I'm still a little sad that I don't know his name. Of course, I also don't forget about Milady and His Holiness, although I don't use their names as a battle hymn, that would be inappropriate )
-- In that world, I still have a deity, whose follower I was, so it's obvious that he was very important to me, and still is... He was the patron of blacksmithing and noble, selfless courage in the name of saving people. But I won't bore you with details, unless someone is interested, I've already been listing for a long time ) Thank you for the question. Astelli, you also need to name the next person asking, and since the question was for everyone, you could also say something about yourself )Author
- And in general, our whole team, - he added. - Yes, something like that, - Beata nodded.
-- I don't even need to mention this, because I seem to tell you about it every chance I get. But -- definitely
- For me, it’s definitely my savior, Ayano Yamagami,” the maid answered without hesitation, “she pulled me out of the abyss during a very difficult time for me and guided me on the path to mental well-being, so I owe her a lot. Now, let’s have the next question from you.
- And why didn't you mention Ayano? - Beata nudged Gion with her elbow.
- Well... I respect her, but I respect the others on the list even more. That's why I didn't mention her.
-- Well, of course, my counter was already off the charts, yeah ) So. To everyone: what is the best panorama or landscape you have ever seen in your life? And then, Guion will ask the next question.

- For me, it's definitely my savior, Aiyano Yamagami," the maid replied without hesitation, "she pulled me out of the abyss during a very difficult time for me and guided me on the path to mental well-being, so I owe her a lot. And let the next question be from you.
"Actually, maybe I messed up with the question... It's also interesting what kind of story it is. Although, on the other hand, it seems a bit delicate based on that description, okay."
"Why did I even think that?" thought Gion to himself.
The couple was deep in thought, because there were only three hours left until the new year, and Koshka hadn't even cleaned the floors or set the table yet.
/ Anyway, Klin and Garret already owe us answers to two questions, it's nothing... /
-- By the way, we're still waiting for Kiliki's answer to the previous question, as well as for Klin and Garret to gather their thoughts, guys.... So don't rush, everything will happen in due time, uh-huh. I've already run ahead, but I'm not pushing you.
- For me, it's definitely Ayano Yamagami, my savior, - the maid answered without hesitation, - she pulled me out of the abyss during a very difficult time for me and guided me on the path to mental health, so I owe her a lot. And let the next question be from you.
Alaria wanted to suggest to Astellia to invite her savior here, on one of the days, so that Karneol could show her due hospitality for helping their loyal maid, but she still decided that this was a bit beyond her authority - Erephir should handle such things. Besides, the tanarisi didn't want it to sound insincere, because she would also be interested in seeing this woman for personal reasons, but she couldn't reveal the reasons - Astellia probably didn't know that the priestess, if the assumptions were correct, came from another world. That would be awkward.

"There is a high probability that in this world, she is the last of the followers of her deity. Or even in the entire universe, if something bad happened to her world. She should write down the dogmas and rituals somewhere to preserve at least some fragment of her native culture. Although... before such literature, it would be worth consulting with His Most Holy Eminence."

- Well, of course, my counter has already gone off the charts, yeah ) Okay. To everyone: what is the best panorama or landscape you have ever seen? And then Gillon will ask the next question.
- Perhaps, in my case, it will be the view of the capital of the empire, from which I came, from a bird's eye view, - the inquisitor answered after a long thought, - or rather, from the height of a dirigible flight, - even more precisely, it would be "from the height of a flying ship" - she never regretted the money spent on this air excursion. The feeling is completely different than when you run around the streets, doing your own business. From above, everything feels completely different - the city seems both smaller and at the same time much more majestic. There, people are bustling around in a lively square, spending time with their families or doing their craft. And there, ancient mansions stand in proud rows, many of which have existed since the very founding of the city and are overshadowed only by an even more majestic palace. On the territory of the capital's military academy, young talents are diligently preparing for the upcoming Competitive events. And here is the amphitheater, where people have gathered for another performance. One cannot fail to notice the relatively young quarter, founded by overseas guests, the features of whose architecture, although they stood out against the background of neighboring areas, at the same time complemented the beauty of the city. Closer to the suburbs is a picturesque park, where young families stroll leisurely. It was also interesting to observe the industrial zones, in one of which new dirigibles, similar to the one you are flying on now, were being produced at that very moment, - the tanarisi sighed dreamily, - probably, in verbal form, this is not so exciting. You have to see everything with your own eyes to truly appreciate all this beauty, which emphasizes the greatness of human - the warrior barely restrained herself from saying "reimian" - ingenuity and hard work.
- I wanted to equip him with a crossbow, - the priestess strokes the phantom's haft. - Maybe for swapping, but then it won't be used... Maybe we should send An-tan? His accuracy, unlike his character, is pretty good, he'll manage something. Ignoring the artifact shield when they have 100 HP each, and the overall effect isn't that great... is not very wise...
- Wait, none of us know how to use a shield, so it's not an option either way.Author
- Hmm... A collage featuring all of us seems obvious, but also cliché. You probably wouldn't be interested in drawing that, but if you want to, go ahead. Otherwise, maybe... us and Sonata in Kamimori, doing something? Or at least her, my presence isn't critical. Just to remember these unusual, but pleasant days. Can you do it?
- I'll try. You know, after the instructor, you're my second most important person in life, so this is a very good combination for me.Author
- I had no doubt that everything would go well. You're not the type to break promises.
The Lord replied with a tired but confident nod, accompanied by a sympathetic smile. Author
- Are they dolphins or something? Do we have a rough idea of how many there are, what the depth is, how agile and dangerous they are? Maybe Kayasa-kocho can do something and eliminate them in advance?
The Lord describes the appearance of the creatures, which matches what Sonata told them about, and then reports their characteristics.
Ugolok Attack 1: "Disgrace" Removes the opponent from the battle. Accuracy: 90% Range: 3 (jump)
Attack 2: shoots a mysterious white liquid Accuracy: 130% Damage: 100 (darkness) Reduces the target's Will by 10 until the end of the battle. Reduces the target's Dodge by 5% until the end of the battle. Range: 10
- They are almost invisible from above, the number could not be determined.
Listening to the Lord, Yun decided to sketch a potential opponent in his notebook. - Something like this? - he asks Sonata, Aiyano, and the Lord. - Close, but not quite, - Sonata replied. - And this... is an interesting plot. - Uh, I just tried to make it match the information I heard...Author
- ...the hall resembles a red moon. It's an interesting coincidence... Is the black color an abyss or rock? And, is something happening there right now? What about the enemies?
- This cult has nothing to do with me, - the phantom assured the priestess. - It's rock. When I passed by this hall, several cultists... Do I need to explain? - This was not a rhetorical question; the young man was not sure if he should elaborate.Author
- How many slaves are there? What is their condition?
- There are two in each room. Most of them are in satisfactory health.Author
- What about the inhabitants/slaves in general? Monsters, enemies, approximate numbers...? Is there anything unusual about... - not finishing the sentence, she just nods towards the black hannya.
- The first three green petals bloomed in the spring garden, - he explained regarding the unusual thing, - there are no monsters on these floors, enemies... Wait, I'll explain in more detail.
Added 1 hour 3 minutes ago - I don't respect anyone, - Kilika replied, - there are those I have sympathy for, and those I don't...
