On the way to the church, he notices an empty Knight with a two-handed sword, whom he vaguely remembers from an auction, and a multitude of people walking aimlessly, whose appearance convinces him of the correctness of his faith... or perhaps, on the contrary, shakes it – because these empty people are indifferent to death as much as they are to life. Can he boast of the same determination?

The Alchemist is found in his usual spot.

The empty Knight did not attract much attention from Voldemar, as he did not notice anything special about him, except that he had seen him with the constable and at the auction. But there were many such people.

As for the "empty" ones... Emptiness, as is known, is best filled. There is no need to "pour" anything... Which means there is hope for the success of the sermons...

-- Greetings! Well, have you finally succumbed?
- Glory to the Holy Fire, not yet... At least not yet... I have come to you with another question. My slave girl knows a little about potions. On the eve of the expedition, I would like to know if you can teach her anything beyond what she already knows. And I would also like to know the prices, so that I can assess whether my desires match my capabilities...

-- I can. Gold for the recipe, although, if you promise that she won't trade them, it will only be five silver coins. But remember: I may know a lot, but not everything. Ask me first if the potion you want is possible and if I know its secrets.

- Uh... I don't understand. I thought you would say what you can teach, and I would decide if we need it...
- As for selling... No, only for "personal use" for the two of us. Who knows what we might encounter on the expedition...

-- Hey! I know so much that it would take more than a day to tell you everything. Better tell me what you're looking for.

-- Hey! I know so much that I wouldn't have enough time to tell you everything. Better tell me what you're looking for.
- Well, I'll tell you now, and it turns out you don't know that...
- In general, I'm interested in a potion that makes your health like Cassius's, twice as much; a potion that gives immunity to cold; immunity to sanity damage, and... I'd also like to learn how to make your "special" powder...

– You could have made a name for yourself with us, in the North. How many have you killed? – The question sounds more mundane than a conversation about the weather.
– Too much snow. Many? Do you keep count? – Cassius pondered. – Not really. My lord wasn’t a big fan of such things.

-- When you die, your ancestors will ask you about this, -- Thorstein states seriously. -- It's better to name a number that will satisfy them – although the quality of the killed also matters.

After many battles, all members of the fighting dungeon were lucky enough to remain unharmed. Since there were few Voidwalkers among them, at Thorstein's suggestion and with Rigobert's approval, it was decided to gather early tomorrow and have a good time in the sea of pain.
Cassius regains all his composure.

- Well, I'll say something now, and it turns out you don't know it...
- In general, I'm interested in a potion that makes health like Cassius times two; that gives immunity to cold; immunity to mental damage, and... it would also be nice to learn how to make your "special" powder...
-- Regarding the first one – it's possible, almost possible – the recipe is experimental, if someone very smart improves it, it will be like times two, if not – a little less. The same goes for cold – we will most likely protect against it by about three-quarters. To prevent the mind from suffering too much – you need to remove the brain, I can offer "Evthumia" – a popular thing, it instantly heals the head. Well, I will definitely teach you how to make the powder.

I don't know, it depends on how long you plan to stay.

-- Regarding the first one – it’s possible, well, almost possible – the recipe is experimental; if someone really smart improves it, it will be as good as having two, otherwise – a little less. The same applies to protection against the cold – we’ll likely be able to protect against it by about three-quarters. To prevent complete loss of sanity – you need to remove the brain; I can offer “Evthimia” – a popular remedy that instantly cures the head. And of course, I can teach you how to make the powder.
- I understand. And what about these… smoke bombs, fire bombs, and potions for women? Do you make those yourself too? Can you teach me how to make those as well?

Don't know, depends on how long you'll be hanging around.
After the battle, Cassius and Amalia head back to the Castle. Tomorrow, Amalia will begin training with the healer and continue attending training sessions, spending half a day on one activity and half a day on the other. The Knight intended to do the same, but in his case, it would be training and duels.

Judging by the fact that the witch learned only a 6-hour quota in 12 hours, without supervision Amalia will learn only a quarter in half a day...🤣

Pain and suffering, both mental and physical, had forever given way to blissful peace. Finally, he had found the well-deserved rest and the silence of eternity. Only a brief, unpleasant moment of dissolution, and then the dark abyss enveloped its faithful servant like a warm blanket. This unfortunate character's journey was over forever. Realizing this pleasurable emotion, he suddenly understood that he still existed. The last thought, tinged with a slight bitterness, poisoned his newfound tranquility. Trying to relax and merge with the void, he futilely confirmed that he was still capable of awareness. He had no memories left, no remnants of his former personality, but the very fact of his identity, for some unknown reason, seemed like a wrong, terrible mistake to him. He wasn't sure if he had arisen in the void, like a rebellious echo of consciousness, or if he had somehow survived the final dissolution in the night abyss. Fragments of unknown souls whirled past him in a chaotic vortex, but he himself merely floated, moving away from the bottomless funnel of emptiness. Winding like a snake, his consciousness rose higher and higher, as if demanding a final, decisive action from its owner. This strange, insignificant trial had now become a heavy torment for him. Once again, the universe denied him peace. A raging stream of thoughts, as turbulent on the surface as it was empty inside, spewed out various forms and objects, but he felt no significant connection to any of them. On his path, he encountered dark, ancient fortresses, but the phantom easily passed through their walls, bound by a deathly silence. The gaze of his sightless eyes pierced blindly through the boundless ocean of time and space, but he realized that he could distinguish living souls and their organisms. Entering an ugly rat, he scurried across a ruined kitchen hall. Jumping into a bird, he soared into the sky above the shining blackness of the unknown. He found a human, but the host turned out to be too strong-willed to possess him for long. Satisfied with a fresh corpse, he turned it around with strangely familiar movements. Higher and higher he rose, with each moment feeling more and more anger towards the kingdom that had rejected him. The creatures he encountered on his path could not notice the subtle shadow, and he himself was blind and mute to remind them of his existence. Fragments of other people's captured memories and thoughts swirled in his mind, but he could not find his own. Sometimes, his very invisible presence made living consciousness freeze in horror. Suddenly, an old medal appeared before his eyes. A spark of something familiar, something close, pierced the ghostly aura. He realized that he had lingered too long, that he had been playing the role of a silent messenger of the void for too long. It was time to end this.

Whatever

Ottar thought again. And there was indeed something to think about... the option of selling the blood sounded clearly better, but that was for tomorrow... today, he could only go to the castle under the pretext of visiting the constable and, at the same time, find the right knight there. And he could also ask the master if he had any spare human blood in the secret alchemical cellars... but that was already very doubtful. The master, of course, might have already guessed everything from the story with the heart, or maybe not. The limits of his friendliness didn't seem endless.

– Tell me about this knight, master, – Ottar asked. – Is he a follower of the Void or just a simple collector?

A few days ago, the Blooddrinker could relatively easily satisfy his thirst, but now some kind of black streak has begun... But at least he has money. It seems that everything at once is not allowed. Who would doubt it.
