—Maybe the face, but not the manner of speech. —the nerd was slightly confused. —In any case, Linshi recognized you from the photo, and we can track the mark of the Black Knight on you anyway.

The guild leader met the young man in his usual spot.
- So, did you manage to complete the task?

Then Camistella quickly attempted a Persuasion check on Genzy.

“You’re clearly a serious guy,” she said to the suspicious man, “and you don’t trust us. That makes sense. Maybe you’re a criminal and you’re afraid of the law. Maybe you killed someone and don’t know how, why, or what for. But we have the answer. And we also know that time is running out, and soon all the victims of the Black Knight may die for good.”

Oh, these barbarians with their low Charisma... it’s a pain to convince each one of them, brr!

Ignoring the clucking:
- Besides, she doesn't want to work with me, and I don't want to work with her either. You can hear it yourselves. I didn't do anything to her, but just my presence triggers an eruption from the sewer grate she calls a mouth, - he sighs. - Asmidul, you said? Beautiful name. Let me tell you something, Asmidul: ever since I had the "pleasure" of meeting her, my whole life has gone downhill - right from the day she tricked me into giving her my photo, - he absentmindedly rubs his neck. - And what's more, I don't remember ever telling her my name. I don't think she is who she claims to be. At least you look like a sane person, so let me ask you to give me just one reason why I should believe all this nonsense instead of ending it here and now, - his hand moves closer to the stained katana, but not aggressively. - Don't get me wrong - lately, I've had a major crisis of trust, both with strangers and with people I know.

– Tann built a huge ritual circle around the fire obelisk in Asuguh, – replied the Lunarian. – It’s hard to say what he’s trying to achieve with this, but we’ll only get answers if we approach this supposedly powerful structure fully prepared. As for defeating Tann... it’s complicated. We don’t have time to prepare, and he’s clearly stronger than us. We’ll probably have to outsmart him, but definitely not with brute force.

– I'm from the Guild of Wonders. I was investigating a case about strange sources of cursed energy. And I stumbled upon Asmidul. That's how I found out that the story of how a black knight cut me in half a year ago didn't end that day, – the Lunarian began to stare intently at Genza. – So my peaceful life was put on hold, and I had to urgently start looking for a way to avoid the inevitable fate. My name is Camistella.

– I'm not asking you to work with us. I won't lie, your help would be useful to us, – he nods in the direction of Camistella's speech, – But I believe it is my duty to tell people the truth, and what they do next is up to each person; no one here has the right to decide for them. It was wrong to withhold information about the knight from you during the surveys, and we have already discussed this with Linshi. If you know what we have found out, even if you don't believe it, that will be enough relief for me.

– As for the reasons... As you can see, five people ended up in the same place with the same symptoms. Three of them had never met me or Linshi before and hadn't taken any photos, but that didn't change anything. I also know about other victims of the black knight. Some were foreigners, others didn't even leave their city. The only common factor here is this pseudo-nightmare about their own death. Until recently, Linshi was in custody, but this did not stop the series of murders. – Sighing heavily, he decides to share the truth: – And I also know that under the influence of the knight, you can lose control of your own body at any moment and harm people who happen to be nearby. I've been through this, and what happened to me can never be erased. The truth is that a part of this warrior's soul is now in each of us, and when he takes it back, a delayed death will occur.

- Uh-huh, - Xerxes rolls his eyes, looking at the survey results, - which of these do you find the most interesting?

- So, what's your plan?

- Pure, unadulterated nobility, I suppose. ...well, okay, let's assume that. - The words about "causing harm" didn't seem to affect the shinobi's face. - Do you know why he's doing this? And what are you planning to do about it now? - He frowned. - As I recall... "hand him over to justice," or something like that. That is, somehow capture him, put him in shackles, then put him on trial, and then release him through the south gate, am I right? I see a huge number of assumptions in this course of action.

- Not so much interesting as they are distinctive, and the second one might even seem amusing to some.
