Erica examined the map.
"Well, I guess we need to visit the obelisk, meet Sir Tann there, and ask him why he needed all this?" In a different situation, Erica would have definitely smiled, but now she was in no mood for laughter...
"Now it's clear which knight I read about on the bulletin board..."

– The choice is simple: go to the obelisk and fight the black knight, or stay and await your sad fate, – Camistella summarized the situation in a single sentence.
It was possible that they had all misunderstood something, but that was a minor detail.

- To “give battle,” we probably need to prepare well, right? - suggested Erika. - I can't even imagine what awaits us there... - Neferian sorcerers, hordes of zombies, skeletons... Brrr... - Or he'll be there alone, just snap his fingers, and fragments of his soul will leave us...

As for losing control, you can ask those around you who have experienced the same thing. I am a weak person, that is true, but their words should mean more here than mine.
- That's true, - said Genza, without going into explanations, instead finishing his glass of berry juice.Author
- Agreed. - He turns his head and throws a pleading look at Linshi. Although, for some reason, the universe sometimes called him the leader, the true co-founder of this suicide squad, without whom they would never have figured anything out, it was the foreigner herself.
- Thank you. By the way, I apologize for immediately switching to an informal way of communicating. It was not due to rudeness, but to fatigue from all this... - turning back, the shinobi nods. - I am a bookworm and have never encountered a combat situation before. But I can stand up for myself. If my body takes up at least one of his actions in battle, then so be it. And... I am very sorry for your friends. Because of this scoundrel, one person close to me died, and another disappeared. I can't just leave it like that.
- And neither can I. But perhaps we have a chance to avenge them, - he looks at the guy. - I once learned that some people are allergic to "you". If it doesn't matter and it will be more convenient to use "you", then it is not critical for me.
He looks expectantly at Linshi, then slowly takes off his glove - finger by finger, after which he extends his disfigured hand for a handshake: - Life has shown that I am not a perfect judge of character, I admit that. And I still don't think that a formal approach is valid enough to learn something meaningful about a person; trust must come from shared experiences. For me, stopping him and possibly saving his girlfriend is more important than disagreements. What do you say?Author
- To "put up a fight", you probably need to prepare well? - suggested Erika. - I can't even imagine what might await us there... - Neferian sorcerers, hordes of zombies, skeletons... Brrr... - Or he will be alone there, just snap his fingers and the fragments of his soul will leave us...
- Anything. I didn't know that you guys were involved in this too... - Genza says to Erika and Ushumgall and sighs heavily, realizing that he can no longer ignore the situation. - We will have to stay in the same boat for a while longer. Whatever you think, I swear I will do everything I can. Let's rid Anuzish of this degenerate once and for all. As I see it, he has harmed many.
- Anything. I didn't know you guys were involved in this too... - Genza says to Erika and Ushumgall, and sighs heavily, realizing that he can no longer ignore the situation. - We'll have to stick together for a while longer. Whatever you think, I swear I'll do everything I can. Let's get rid of this scoundrel in Anuzish once and for all. It seems he has caused trouble for many.
- Uh-huh... Just don't involve any pirates in this, "John Zibaba," - Erika glared at Genza. - A pendant, you say? - the question was addressed to Asmidul. - I think I understand... - the gaze was turned back to Genza. - You, me, Kamistela, and Asmidul had contact with this pendant, because it was with one of you "at the moment of our meeting," right? - the question was addressed to Asmidul and Linshi. - The knight is getting rid of those who are "in the know" through our hands, but he himself was not cursed by it. - So, Ushumgall, if the pendant is here now - the gaze turns to the "trio" - then before going to the Obelisk, it's better for no one to show themselves and, especially, not to tell anyone anything...

- To "put up a fight," we probably need to prepare well, right? - Erika suggested. - I can't even imagine what might await us there... - Netheril sorcerers, hordes of zombies, skeletons... Brrr... - Or he might be alone, just snap his fingers, and fragments of his soul will leave us...
—The last option isn't much different for us than expecting our own demise, so we don't need to consider it. As for the "fight," I don't think we'll have time to prepare much better than we are now. - Asmidul replied. - According to our calculations and my feelings, we have only a few days, maybe even weeks; we won't become archmages or archwarriors in that time. As for allies, we can only count on other victims, but unfortunately, we haven't found any others besides you lately...Author
- And me. But maybe we have a chance to avenge them, - she looked at the guy. - I once learned that some people are allergic to "you." If that doesn't matter and it's more convenient to use "you," that's not critical for me.
—In this situation, I think it's better to set aside socially respectful rituals. I'm a complete novice, but I can assume that in a critical moment of battle, we won't have time to choose pronouns. So yes, whatever is more convenient for you.Author
- Uh-huh... Just don't involve different pirates in this, "John Zibab," - Erika looked at Genza disapprovingly. - A pendant, you say? - the question was addressed to Asmidul. - I think I understand... - the gaze was turned to Genza again. - You, I, Kamistela, and Asmidul had contact with this pendant, because it was with one of you "at the moment of meeting us," right? - the question was addressed to Asmidul and Linshi. - The Knight is getting rid of those who are somehow "in the know" with our help, but he himself was not cursed by it. - So, Ushumgallu, if the pendant is here now - the gaze turns to the "trio" - then before going to the Obelisk, it's better not to show yourself to anyone and, moreover, not to tell anyone anything...
—Yes, the pendant. There is such a theory, but then the Knight started getting rid of witnesses without prolonged contact with it, so I think a fragment of his soul is more than enough. Mm, as a scientist, I can't help but mention the possibility of easily checking this, but just as a person, let's please not do that. - he agreed with the sorceress's last comment.
– Well, yes, – Camistella reluctantly admitted. – According to the information we have, Tann acts alone, but... he is the strongest warrior in Nephiria, and even though Asmidul suggests that the opponent might be vulnerable due to the division of his soul, the reality is that even we, if we were to fall under Tann's control, would gain new abilities and become quite powerful. For example, I used a spell that was far more complex than anything I've ever used before. So, it seems that Tann is also a sorcerer.
After that, the lunar elf wanted to change the subject.
– Oh, my monocle! – Camistella exclaimed with delight. – I knew I could count on you! You definitely wouldn't lose something like that!
The last sentence was said with genuine confidence in her friend.
- At least something. Asmidul, do you think if we defeat him, will I get enough "good karma points" to appease her? Out of curiosity, how many did you have? And how many did you/you all have, Lady Camistella of the Guild of Wonders?

- Uh-huh... Just don't involve any pirates in this, "John Zibaba," - Erika looked at Genza disapprovingly.
- Don't worry, Eri, - the "calcite" man's face regained its impassivity. - I may not be the smartest, but I am teachable. I think we will all soon see if our new "buddies" deserve our trust.

- In the current situation, I think it's best to set aside socially acceptable formalities. I'm a complete novice, but I can assume that at a critical moment in the battle, we won't have time to fuss over pronouns. So yes, whatever you prefer.
- Then "you." And you know, I once heard a thought - if you call yourself a fool, you will become one. I'm not sure I agree with that, but I think it also applies to a "bookworm who can only take one hit." Try to look at it from a positive perspective, and maybe you'll be able to take two or three hits. Otherwise, you'll stay at the same level.
– My test result was “friendship with Asmidul,” – Kamistella confessed. – I’m not sure I would have passed it under other circumstances... lately, I’ve been quite nervous. As have we all, I suppose. We can use “you” when addressing each other, now that we are allies in such an important matter.
