Meanwhile, at the gates of the capital:After a while, the priestess relaxes and begins to seem much more friendly. Yuventius recalls a passage from the glorious history of the kingdom of Celia-Mira: once, the power of the Great Cathedral was even more absolute than it is now. The priestesses could do anything they wanted. In particular, it was common practice to turn men into semi-intelligent slaves by injecting them with divine poison. Over time, Ceraria personally forbade such measures and restricted her followers. However, some of them still remember the old days and the old amusements. After all, a priestess is still like a goddess, just a weaker one.
– You are useful, Sorntarnit. Go!
The masters of nimble fingers grant him great rewards for his deeds before the Great Cathedral and even give him a map of the capital's notable places. But Yuventius Amm already knows a small cultist secret: to find his brothers and sisters, he needs to go to the palace and place a bouquet of blood-red flowers at the statue of the queen. And such a bouquet can only be found at the "True Empress" restaurant, using the secret password "Keliandra." Unfortunately, Amm did not have more details.
Meanwhile, with the Marauders:Xaya Volden rolled her eyes.
– Sleep is good for your health, and everyone needs health, but when you're on Aberath, you have a million problems. Blah-blah-blah... You're coming with me shopping. We need to buy provisions and supplies for the entire Rampart for a month. Five minutes to gather.
The Marauder left Radiant's room.
Meanwhile, with the Mercenaries:– The most difficult task? Ha! What is it?
– To defeat the immortal Yog-Sheldar?
– To reach the Source?
– To… well, you know… our goddess?
– Not that difficult…
– So, who will take on this task? Who is brave enough?!
Harold hears snippets of the conversation and sees a group of mercenaries led by a particularly authoritative, gray-haired man. This man seemed as ancient as the planet Aberath itself, a dried-up mummy, but he still radiated an aura of incredible power.
Is the party retreating from the battle?
