- But why didn't Sir Kerr go to the tournament? - Erika asked.
- Did he prefer to visit the ghost ship? Or did he find something else to do?

- It's probably better not to go to the observatory right now, there have been some clashes with suspicious people there since morning, well, that's what I was told. Hmm!

Rummaging through his backpack, the guy pulls out the book given to him by Aia. It is unknown if the smell has completely faded, but if there was a time for Hound's keen sense to shine, it is now.

Camistella and her bodyguard return to the mansion. The Lunarian brews some tea, and everything is fine with her.

- It seems that it is time for me to tell you a terrible secret, - Camistella began, after a pause. - The secret that I have an enemy, and a rather powerful one. Although, no, not exactly. Not me, but all of Asuguh, it just so happens that I was not lucky enough to see him in person. In our kingdom... - the Lunarian looked anxiously out the window, - death roams, a relic of a lost kingdom. A Nephirian Black Knight. Perhaps the last of his kind. Is he connected to the Haranian Empire or pursuing his own goals, and what he wants... no one knows. But he has committed a series of murders throughout Asuguh. And not just any murders, but highly mystical ones. I am involved in the investigation of this crime. What is all this about... if you see a clearly undead knight in black armor and with a formidable blade... it is useless to fight him. His power is truly great. However, he prefers to kill a certain age group, which makes the motives even less clear. Maybe he is just a maniac, maybe a kind of avenger for Nephiria... or maybe he has some special plan. In any case, I hope we don't meet him again.

The Lunarian shook her head gloomily. I wonder if Asmidul has found anything.

The dog tilted its head to the side in confusion and whimpered something incomprehensible to the human.
- These searches may take more than one day, are you sure you have time for them? - The voice clearly belonged to Inak, not the Dog.

—Actually, there isn't… —the scholar sighed disappointedly. —What could be more important than searching for a poor girl? Perhaps this insensitive egoist thinks his scientific reports are more important, you might think, but… Believe it or not, I need to help someone else, so I really can't stay for long. —he scratched his head guiltily. —So, did he sense something? I can leave you the book if you can't get to the observatory.

The trio shrugged.
- Considering the threat looming over us, he had more important things to do, - replied Honor. - But as far as I know, he wasn't planning on boarding the ship.

The shinobi warily surveys the surroundings – nothing/no one worth paying attention to.

I wish I could persuade her to do this without resorting to extreme measures, but who would listen to such a request? And there's nothing to offer. "Beautiful lady, allow me to take you from your wonderful garden to the dusty Asuguh, escorted through the quicksand – but I won't say why," he sighs.
- What do you think? - he asks the pirate. - Nothing special to look at, right? Just a schoolteacher.

- Basically, yes, we'll extradite her according to this plan," Kami nods. "But just in case things go wrong... and there's a tendency for that to happen, we'll adapt to the situation. And remember, she's not just a VIP, she's also a woman. If the situation doesn't escalate into something desperate, we shouldn't harm her.

Inak shook his head.
- Not yet. Onkaih is very spacious, and the surrounding area is open, so we'll have to walk around it and only then something might become clear. - He takes the book and nods. - Alright, Asmidul, I promise not to abandon this, and you don't worry and just continue doing what you were doing.

Soon Genza will hate knights in any armor

Kamistella sighed. Well, until Sir Tann personally tears Eris's arms and legs off, it will be difficult to believe.

- Mm, in the coming days, I will go to the Guild of Wonders with a detailed report. This criminal was discovered quite by chance, based on the clue he left behind, - replied the Lunar. - You are unnecessarily doubting my words, dear bodyguard. We have legions of undead abroad, and the fact that one foreign knight is hiding among them doesn't seem strange. Rather, the opposite: who would even pay attention to the fact that he is not local? For most, it's just another undead creature... Only a very well-read person can distinguish a Nephirian undead from a Harranian one. You could even go and kill the Protector. Who would be the murderer? The undead! Therefore, the Harranian Empire is to blame! Fortunately, our knight has not been involved in such affairs yet. And Asuguh is a good place for a Nephirian... not only can he hide behind his Harranian colleagues, but no one will look for him. But in the lands of the former empire, a suspicious black knight could easily be caught by the servants of Arselia or Akonia. And the Empress is not far away.

All this did not explain why Tann was dismembering Asuguhian youth. Perhaps, this is some kind of complex Nephirian humor.

- I'll try... Let's hope for the best. I have a bad feeling, I wouldn't want to regret not having enough people interested in this matter for the rest of my life. Although, given the recent events, this is not surprising. - he glances somewhere in the direction of the evaporated meteor in the sky. - Ah, yes, if there is time... you should visit Lukon, just as a fellow guild member. The old man is proud, but he has been feeling unwell lately. We've had enough incidents for now.
