When Derevos, Albrecht, and Kearak woke up, they were summoned by their respective superiors to be rewarded for their hard work.
The fox was the first to awaken and immediately headed toward a previously unintroduced head of the capital branch of the House of Pink Flowers: Ketsirai Tinneril.
– Kearak-sahan, through your efforts, the Will has spread throughout the capital. Even the "Divine Messenger" is working for our benefit. What wonderful work!
– It is my duty, matriarch, – Kearak bowed, – have you studied my last report?
– Last night. I sent word to the central branch; soon we will learn the identity of the Brown Banner's patron.
– They use the lower ones... how wretched!
– Truly so, Kearak-sahan. But it is time to reward you. Continue to serve our cause as diligently and faithfully in the future!
Kearak receives 750 organization points.Kearak receives 3000 cetrens.Kearak receives Cutting Amulet from the Emerald Isles x10– I thank you, matriarch.
– Go now. We still have much work ahead of us.
After this conversation, Kearak makes his way to the Academy of Selya-Mir to properly invest in his gift.
Meanwhile, with the mercenaries:After a kind treat from the creature for the tasty mercenary, the feast transitioned into every Sorntarnite's favorite stage: simple and straightforward hedonism. Only Salitil herself did not participate in the general enjoyment, preferring to observe from the side with a glass of wine in her hand.
– Morals and ethics... Only one thing in this world truly matters, and its name is desire!
After some time, the tired, drained mercenaries somehow managed to get outside. Having sobered up slightly, Harold realized that not only had he alone drunk half of the drinks on the table, but he had also entered into an intimate relationship with that very creature. Whose idea it was—his or the creature's—was no longer possible to determine, but as if... nothing terrible had happened. No consequences, no problems, as they say. The main thing was that it was very, very fun.
It seems it is time to return to the mercenaries' Rampart and announce the successful completion of the mission.
Harold Skufinson loses all action points, but receives +1 Strength and Endurance.– You really nailed that woman with insect limbs... – one of the mercenaries suddenly said, – I wouldn't have had the strength for such a thing!
After these words, Skufinson remembers the creature's name: Sagaya.
Meanwhile, with the plunderers:– Is that so? Thank you for the advice, – the stranger shrugged and headed toward Lady Volden. And they certainly found a common ground, as she bought up the entire stock of game!
After this short meeting, the plunderers set out for their final destination: the "True Empress" restaurant for a gift for the Master. Why he was being given an edible gift, history remained silent.
– What to choose... – Xaiya Volden thought deeply.
The choice consisted of five dishes:
1) Tentacles in special Selya-Mir sauce (70 cetrens)
2) Whirlpool fish with greens (65 cetrens)
3) Fish stuffed with sea parasites (50 cetrens)
4) Long sea cucumber (100 cetrens)
5) Merfolk eggs (250 cetrens)
Meanwhile in the "True Empress", but at night before the plunderers' visit:While Mr. Am was frantically thinking, the merchants, who understood nothing of his behavior, concluded that their offer did not interest him and thus vanished as if they had never been there.
