Posts from 🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks Auto-translated

- I see. Hmm... Did any of the girls you interviewed stand out?

- There wasn't time to dwell on such thoughts; I wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible before half the city left, - explained the guard. - And besides the people I questioned, so many others passed by; everything is already mixed up in my head.

“As Camistella already mentioned, we managed to find out that he is going to perform some kind of ritual near the Obelisk of Fire,” replies to Erike and Gense. “We cannot enlist the support of anyone from the powerful figures in this matter. Even if someone believes us, the Knight’s influence will not allow him to violate his secret and reveal the plans. We have already tried to verify this, but it didn’t work out. What are we going to do? Meet him on the spot and prevent him from doing what he plans. My personal theory is that after the soul split, he should become a slightly less terrible threat, and we also have a special talisman and cleansing spells. He is unlikely to make it to the trial, that’s true,” he adds after a moment of thought. “It sounds silly, but in such cases, I always think about an alternative. In a year, the curse will expire, the red spots on our bodies will spread from the skin to the internal organs, and we will all simply die. In the first case, at least there is a chance to fight this plague. That’s what I think.”

—Hello. My name is Asmidul, and this is Linshi and Camistella. I apologize for interrupting your meal and treatment, but the matter is urgent. Can we talk in private? It concerns the deadly curse of the Black Knight, under which you and we are currently suffering.

- You're wrong, you're missing out on a lot of information, it can be useful both at work and in life. Who knows, maybe you missed your soulmate? - He chuckles. - Alright, you completed the task, well done. Here. - He hands the guy 330 repair units. - There's significantly more here than you're supposed to get for this job, but let it be - you'll need it in these times.

The Shinobi stares intently into the eyes behind the glasses – for such a young-looking face, they seem unnaturally old.
- I see you're not one to back down, Asmidul. Or is it the fear of death that drives you to such desperate measures? Can you even fight? He clearly isn't weak – he puts his hands away from the katana and places it on the table. - If, as you say, you need my help, I will provide it. On the condition that you reason with Linshi – without taking his eyes off the guy, he nods vaguely in that direction. - I have no intention of listening to insults directed at me; this will end one way or another sooner or later, and none of those outcomes appeal to me. I won't demand an apology from her, I'll even forget my grievances, and I'd like to start with a clean slate. As for our patient... whether it's a curse or not, it doesn't matter to me. He killed not only me but also my friends, which is why I wanted to find out from her what she knows, but apparently, they don't deserve justice. Therefore, I have a special surprise in store exclusively for him. I don't know for sure, but most likely... one of the friends is already dead, and I haven't seen the other for a long time, so I need backup here.

-- Sounds like nonsense. In my opinion, it's not a curse, but rather a blessing. I don't know about you, but I just felt a surge of energy, and then this whole thing happened, whether it was a dream or reality. And besides, if I believe you, there's a Neferian Knight, and we're at war with Haran, which doesn't make sense, right?
"Weaklings. They don't see your strength. They're AFRAID."
"Hold on, hold on, you're not the first, you're not the last, and besides... there's a nuance here, I don't understand what it is."
-- Listen, I believe you. Let's assume. What did this knight ask you, huh? So that I would be convinced that you really saw him, and didn't just read about it in books. Nerd.
Although the hatred for Ginza had somewhat subsided, he still had a "special" attitude towards the four-eyed.

- Thank you.
After collecting the money, Ferrus inquired whether there were any new assignments planned or if he could take a break and attend to his own affairs.

—As Camistella mentioned, we managed to find out that he is going to perform some kind of ritual near the Obelisk of Fire. —Erike and Genze are told.

There wasn't any interesting new assignment, instead, a routine task was planned (which can be done off-screen during a time skip, and then I can take a vacation right in time to meet up with the guys).

-- I was almost eaten by rats in that pit, and my body was covered in "red spots"... Well, I did talk, yes. I asked questions. But a year has passed. A year. I don't know where you studied, but I took a tactics course. Let's say we've been cursed. We are now weak and not entirely controllable allies of the knight – why would he need that? It's illogical. Let's say he can finish us off at any moment. But we don't bring him any benefit or harm – so why bother? From a tactical and strategic point of view, this leads nowhere. And about your "loss of control"... I didn't experience that. Maybe you were just too nervous and acted erratically, right?
In reality, there were too many current problems for Ushumgall to also deal with events from a year ago. Although his intuition suggested that the knight appeared to so many people for a reason, his mind refused to believe it and clung to logical fallacies with the tenacity of a drowning man. This cannot be, because...
"I don't like this."
"It's meaningless."

- I read about the obelisks in the library; there are only nine of them, scattered throughout Anush. - Tell me more about how you found out and what the ritual is.
