-- Don't tell me John is our friend Zibaba. He seems like a decent guy, he couldn't have messed up like that, could he?...
- Unfortunately, it was him...
Erika recounts what she voiced some time ago to the others.
- The florist was kidnapped by a pirate. And the guys from Desire completely screwed up, disgraced the guild, and set us up... Everyone can have failures and setbacks, etc. But under no circumstances should they have involved outsiders in such a thing... - she added.
- Well, what did you "find out"? Tell us.
Ничто не возникает из ничего и ничто не пропадает бесследно. Если где-то чего-то убудет, то в другом месте добавится. (Закон сохранения).
Sheila whispers, explaining what she saw and heard to Iliman: "It's as if some random, insignificant passerby stole your Sonata."

- ...I understand that it's not my place to say, but I've known him for two years, and he just can't seem to recover. I thought he was masking his power, planning to remove the bandage at a crucial moment, but this thing about the medicine... he's had a difficult life, hasn't he? I apologize if, out of ignorance, I stirred up some old wounds. We're not friends, and our acquaintance wasn't ideal; I just thought he was the only one who would understand me. Perhaps I should leave. Before I go, could you tell me why he decided to train you?
- The teacher is, without a doubt, one of the strongest warriors in this city! But it's true that his old wounds prevent him from fully demonstrating his abilities and also hinder him in everyday life. - The girl proudly lifts her head. - I don't have an answer to your question; the teacher has been training me since I was young, and I am eternally grateful to him. He may have a sharp tongue, but he is actually the kindest and most honest person I have ever known.
Erika recounts to the others what she voiced some time ago.
- The florist was kidnapped by a pirate. And the gentlemen from Desire completely messed up, disgraced the guild, and set us up... Everyone can have failures and setbacks, etc. But in no case should outsiders have been involved in such a matter, - she added.
- Well, what did you "find out"? Tell us.
Well, if Zibaba lied about anything, it was only that he is a rare loser. You can still shake hands with him. -- I don't understand anything, -- sighed Ushumgallu. -- If this "florist" can somehow elevate someone to the throne, then why the hell did they send green recruits on the mission? How could they have believed this serpent spawn? Wasn't there a backup plan, a support group? Ugh. I've even stopped being angry at Ginza. She is still a sellout for the new regime, but if some moss-covered nobody tricked me like that, I would have gone crazy too. Okay. Worrying is bad, and I need to recover quickly. Out of the corner of his eye and ear, Ushumgallu notices Sheila's sly whispers. Let them think what they want. And his tsundere style towards Felicia probably gave some misleading impressions, which is probably for the best. For now, he is not ready to reveal the details of his biography to them, although... -- In short, we are like guests of the king. Baths, massages, all that, but there is a suspicion that they won't serve lion kebabs for dinner. There are no familiar faces, but otherwise, there is a lot of hustle and bustle, after all, a war is going on.
E si sui vius, er mi grans benananza, e si ieu muoir, er mi grans deliuriers
- Kind...? - the testimonies differed. "Since I was young... I guess I won a hundred," - an old conversation on the arena comes to mind. - "Maybe he raised her because she's a woman." - A person close to my heart. It's good that I didn't build this social link, - he sighs, putting the lighter in his pocket. - Tell him... Actually, don't tell him anything. I doubt we'll see each other next time, - he rubs his neck. - Good luck to you, Lady Asura. I hope your ideals turn out to be stronger than mine.
He leaves to skip => to Higa/to the hospital/wherever he can go.
– These are the times, and these are the decisions, – Asmidula Camistella felt discontent. – We live in a living nightmare, so nerves are frayed. In a desperate attempt to change something, strange ideas may come to mind, like this one. In this case, there is nothing to fear. We are capable of things much, much worse than breaking into a door.
Apparently, Camistella had no other news besides meeting Linshi. Asmidula was going to take the blame for everything.

- If the victims have little time left, then we need to gather them all together, bring them up to speed, and identify the villain.
—I agree, that should be our priority. Only it's easier said than done. —moving everyone to the table, the guy unloaded his map on top of it. —..I didn't dare take your map while the guards were around, so I used my own for notes. —he explains to Linshi.
—I'll be brief, so as not to confuse anyone. Sir Tann has a unique ability to seal fragments of his soul into his victims, thereby delaying the moment of their death, and can recall them at any time, with all the consequences. This can explain all the strange things we have encountered so far. Confusion and the acquisition of uncharacteristic physical and magical abilities are also related to this. Also, for some unknown reason, he or his fragments protect the secret of the Black Knight and attack anyone they deem too dangerous to investigate. Why did he leave you his amulet, why doesn't he touch us, why is he practicing on yesterday's children, and what principle does he use to choose the remaining time for us? I don't know. —he shrugs. —But I feel that if we don't find him, it will be considered a failure of this deadly "test".
—As for my research. In Sizki, this is my home. There was a reaction to Stalemid, but here we may be mistaken, as the Crimson Pit is located directly beneath it. Linshi, do you think the detector could have picked it up on the way to Faris? In any case, there is also an effect on the Pit itself and the Hexagon, but I didn't go any further because of the prohibition of open access or simply the great danger of these places. The next activation was in the suburbs of Ruzaniel: on a pentagram made of ordinary stones. The story is the same as with my bed, —he looks at Camistella, —the stones, the sand, the ground beneath them, everything is quite ordinary, but the place itself radiates the energy of our friend. I believe that he used his abilities there or something like that. Any ideas, Linshi? The last thing is a closed phantom shop in Ninamiat. I couldn't break in: the owner sealed the castle with powerful spells, which, I believe, transport anyone who tries to break it into the unknown. Don't ask me how I found that out. As for the mark on Onkaihe... I know a victim from there, but unfortunately she disappeared, and I could not find her. It's not much, I understand, but that's about it.
After listening to Asmidul's story, Linshi fell into deep thought and, staring at the map with the marked locations, first mumbled something to herself, and then voiced more coherent thoughts. - The distance between the well and Stalemida is approximately the same along the road connecting them, so there is a high probability that there is nothing in the second location. As for the rest, don't you think that if you draw lines between these locations, you will get the pentagram you mentioned? The only thing that bothers me is the position of Hexagon, which slightly spoils the clarity of this geometric figure.
“Do you think this is just a coincidence?” – the guy looked around the map, puzzled, trying to remember if the real location of the stone pentagram matched the one he had marked in the editor. “It’s not necessarily related to the Hexagon; it could be an empty lot on the other side of the road, then everything would match. Damn, I should have learned how to ride a horse so I wouldn’t have to rely on transportation… But then it would be some kind of magical circle, or rather, a star. What could that mean?”
Becoming a victim of the turn order, Kamistella patiently waited to see what these two would do.
– This summoning symbol is the size of an entire kingdom... could Sir Tann intend to break through the shield of Akonia and perform a summoning from outside? In any case, the main thing in the pentagram is its center, and our center is Onkaih, who ended up there by chance. Hmm, even more theories about the motives of the last Neferian. It seems a bit far-fetched,” Kamistella shook her head. – And we will still have to go personally either to Stalemid or to the Crimson Caverns.
"And find nothing there but another bed," Kamistella added to herself, suddenly infected with Erika's toxicity.
- I'm not an expert in magic and dark rituals, but as far as I know, pentagrams are indeed a very common tool in them, and as a rule, what they try to achieve is located in their center.
Well, if Zibab lied about anything, it was only that he's a complete loser. You can still shake his hand. -- I don't understand anything, -- sighed Ushumgallu. -- If this "flower girl" can somehow elevate someone to the throne, then why were green recruits sent on this mission? How could they have believed this serpent's offspring? Wasn't there a backup plan, a support group? Ugh. I've even stopped being angry at Ginzu. He's still a sellout for the new regime, but if some moss-covered nobody tricked me like that, I would have gone crazy too. Okay. Worrying is bad, and I need to recover quickly. Out of the corner of his eye and ear, Ushumgallu notices Sheila's sly whispers. Let them think what they want.

Baths, massages, all that, but I suspect they won't be serving lion kebabs for dinner. I don't see any familiar faces, but there's still a lot of hustle and bustle, after all, a war is going on.
Erika didn't know the answers to Ushumgallu's questions, so she just shrugged.
"Yeah. Lion kebabs. Maybe you'd also like some hyena soup and black adder venom?"

Having become a victim of the turn order, Kamistella patiently waited to see what these two would come up with.
– This is a summoning symbol the size of an entire kingdom... could Sir Tann intend to break through the shield of Akonia and perform a summoning from the outside? In any case, the main thing in the pentagram is its center, and our center is Onkaih, who ended up there by chance. Hmm, even more theories about the motives of the last Netherian. It feels a bit forced," Kamistella shook her head. "And we will still have to go in person either to Steelmide or to Crimson Hollow.
"And find nothing there but another bed," Kamistella added to herself, suddenly infected with Erika's toxicity.

- I'm not an expert in magic and dark rituals, but as far as I know, pentagrams are indeed a very common tool in them, and as a rule, what they try to achieve is located in their center.
—If time allows, I'll go again and confirm. Now I can defend myself against both desert monsters and bandits," Asmidul said convincingly. "But you're talking about the center. There's nothing in Onkaih, I recently visited and know everyone... Wait a minute," he grabs the map and starts measuring lines. "If we ignore the error of Ruzaniel and Hexagon and move the figure a little, then the center will not be Onkaih at all, but the Fire Obelisk! Could that be?"
What kind of obelisk is there in my favorite expansion, Asuguth: Conspiracies of the Undead?
“Obelisk… of what?” Kamistella didn’t understand. “What is it? Are you talking about that red pillar on the map? I didn’t even pay attention to it…”
Even more points for traveling. Maybe they should open a Guild of Wanderers there? To have their names entered into the history of Asuguth before they die.
- I read about obelisks in the library, and if what was written there is to be believed, they are ancient tools for controlling the nine elements and granting wishes. Could it be that our villain wants to use them to achieve something? But even if that's the case, I can't even imagine what exactly. Anyway, if you two are interested in learning more, you can go to the library; you'll probably understand better from the text than from my words, but I'm not insisting.
What kind of obelisk are you talking about in my favorite expansion, Ashan: Conspiracy of the Undead?
– An obelisk... what? – Kamistella didn't understand. – What is it? Are you talking about that red pillar on the map? I didn't even pay attention to it...
Even more points for travel. Maybe they should open the Guild of Wanderers? To immortalize their names in the history of Ashan before death.

- I read about obelisks in the library, and if what was written there is to be believed, then they are ancient tools for controlling the nine elements and fulfilling wishes. Could it be that our villain wants to achieve something with their help? But if so, I can't even imagine what exactly. In general, if you two are more interested in learning more, you can go to the library; the text will probably be clearer than from my words, but I'm not insisting.
—Fulfilling wishes? Even if it's about restoring his lost homeland, or taking revenge on the Imperials. He initially had a similar mission in terms of potential power; this could easily be some kind of "Plan B." —the scholar nervously adjusted his glasses. —So, that's where we need to find him, and... I don't know what else. I was going to the library anyway. If I have time, I need to confirm the two lower points on the detector. And most importantly: start looking for other victims using the second device. I think that's it; am I missing anything?
