– That was fantastic! – one of the Radiant humorists, who concealed long green tentacles under his hood, gave his assessment of the joke after a short pause.
– Too realistic, – added another humorist, who spent all his cetrens on not-so-legal nude statues of the goddess Ceraria.
– Do you have cetrens for figurines? – a third, less affluent, master of jokes asked in surprise.
Opinions were somewhat divided, but overall, the Radiant humorists were well-received.
**Radiant receives
100 points of vice.**
**Meanwhile, with Albrecht:**
For some time, the stranger remained silent, gazing into the distance. He saw the storyteller and his problems, and he also knew the epic finale of the story and many other, no less epic moments. It would be sad if all of this didn't happen.
– You will definitely return to it someday; I believe in it, – the stranger assured Albrecht. – But now, it's time for you to go. We had a great conversation, but everything eventually comes to an end.
**Meanwhile, with Dervos and Keraak:**
– Oh-oh-oh, that's very generous, brother! Well, goodbye! – the northerners were pleased with the tip and, swaying, headed further down the street.
Bribery... it doesn't work with everyone in this world, but in this case, it turned out to be useful.
– I am primarily an envoy and diplomat, sir, – Keraak replied, – eloquence is my main virtue. Without it, I would not be able to serve the House of the Pink Petals worthily. Let's move on!
But our heroes don't get far...
– Dervos and Keraak, I presume, – another stranger stopped the men. This time, however, he was very confident and had bodyguards. – I was informed that you should be contacted regarding the unknown cult and the Brown Banner warriors.
– Perhaps... – the fox replied evasively.
Besides the very noticeable stranger, it was impossible not to notice his companions: warriors in black armor. Dervos had heard that such armor was worn in the kingdom by warriors of a single private army, and their commander was known for his extremely gloomy reputation, although he had no problems with the law.
