What do we need him for? The shard is already with our lovely Adelaide. And besides, you don't need to go looking for adventure – it will find you. It's better to get out of here before these creatures come swarming. I don't like this place.
And Almareen, taking his spider (by the way, its name is Chen), went to Adelaide.

Tanya, you suddenly felt a pulse in your falcon of power... Someone from your friends was trying to contact you.
- Tanya! Tanya, it's me! - you heard a familiar voice. -I've got some minor problems with the mages... I'm afraid we have one less ally... And I really hope we don't have one more enemy...
Actions?

Tanya, you suddenly felt a pulse in your falcon medallion... Someone among your friends was trying to contact you.

Nowizard? Or is it not him? No, it's definitely him...
I clench the medallion with the falcon... I concentrate.
-What happened, Nowizard? Can you tell me more? Although... wait... let's meet tomorrow at that tavern - you should remember it. Not far from Al-Taren... You can tell me everything there... and hopefully, Houmi and I have more joyful news.I look at the Elder.
-Okay... I'll be waiting - Nowizard's voice reached my mind.
Good...
- I feel that something has happened to you - said the Elder.
-Yes... unfortunately... it seems that the forces of Darkness are growing stronger... We need to hurry. It's time for us to go... And I still hope that you will agree to join us... It's not the time to be apart!The Elder's eyes looked thoughtful and attentive.

-Okay... I've made an important decision - and I won't back down now... You can count on us!
Yahooooooo! Stop, I need to be more restrained :)
I bow to the gnome...
-Please accept my endless gratitude! I hope our alliance will be fruitful. And now I must go... I hope my friend didn't drink all your beer:D :D

Houmi and I return to the Feast Hall... Houmi looks pleased... I bet he found something interesting in the gnomes' pantry... Well, never mind - we need to hurry... Nowizard is waiting.
-Let's go, we need to hurry... Nowizard is waiting for us! - I say to Houmi. While you were having fun, I've already done everything. The gnomes are with us!At the door, I bow to the gnomes once more, wink at the Elder, like an old friend...
It's time to go...

Ta Kotoraya... и Хоуми - LEVEL-UP!

Oh, beautiful Adelaide, would you mind letting me take a closer look at that shard? I have a feeling I've seen it somewhere before. Perhaps in Sandro's book, which I read when I was just beginning my necromantic journey? It looks very similar to that stone. And the book mentioned that these stones have a special property – they attract each other. But besides that, they enhance the magical abilities of the owner.
If I'm not mistaken, you're incredibly lucky!

Ink.
... And they just glanced at him (since he was still in the form of a swordsman). Then they entered the palace, following the head of the order.

There was no point in going to the palace. They might suspect something. I need to find my friends and let them know that I'm alive.

Ink, the head of the guard suddenly approaches you:- So why aren't you on duty? Have you never seen Paladins before?

Saw (aside: well...).
I'm not on duty because I'm on vacation. I'm relaxing.

- You'll get some rest in the morgue, damn it! Get back to the barracks, quickly!!

Yes, I'm on my way. By the way, the commander was looking for you. Let me escort you to the Tower...

- What's that about? Oh, I bet he wants to collect a debt. Alright, soldier, let's go.

Yep. My friend took the bait.

Happy to serve the Emperor! Now they'll argue over the debt...

He's over there, in that tower... I'll go warn him about your arrival.

- Don't even try to flatter me, pup! I can't stand slimy types like you! Alright, go and inform... But make sure you head straight to the barracks afterward! Do I make myself clear?

Sure, of course... I definitely will!

(Here's a donkey :p) Okay, I won't kill either of them. But I need to make them argue, and then...

I ran to the tower. I see the commandant. He asked who I was.

I say: Private Schultz.
He says: What do you need, you fool?
I say: The head of the city guard wants to see you regarding a debt.
He says: Well, that's news! I owe him 60 silver coins.
I say: He's furious.
He says: He'll get what's coming to him! I'll treat him to a beating! Alright, get out of here before I kill you!

The commandant turned his back to me, and I slipped unnoticed into the next room. He thought I had left.

Of course, upon meeting, the captain of the guard and the commandant showed each other the utmost politeness that a soldier is capable of.
- Greetings, glorious city commandant! - announced the captain. - May Elrath bless the city in which you maintain order! - The commandant reciprocated:
-Greetings, brave captain of the city guard! May Elrath bless the service that you so tirelessly perform! Sit down, friend, let's have a mug of "Tarva."- They sat down at the table and began a harmless conversation about how lazy and inept the soldiers are and how they only think about how to flatter their superiors.
- It's good that we exist, the only ones who truly care about our sacred griffin empire!
- Well... besides the emperor.
- Yes! You are right, my dear comrade! Let's drink to the emperor!
- To the emperor! - the clinking of iron mugs could be heard. - And it's good that there are loyal friends, always ready to come to the rescue! - Indeed! - The commandant became uneasy, but kept his composure. -And who always repay their debts on time!- So let's drink to...
- Wait, my dear Tarva lover! - said the captain of the guard, still being hypocritical - Let's get back to what you called me here for. - Called? Despite all my friendly feelings, dear comrade, you must be mistaken! I didn't call anyone.
- Enough! Stop beating around the bush. - the guard's patience ran out. - Didn't you borrow ninety silver coins from me three weeks ago and still haven't returned them?
- Since when did it become ninety? I borrowed sixty coins from you, but definitely not ninety!
- Interest, my dear debtor, interest...
- You are a rotten dragon breakfast!
- You are a stinking minotaur dung!
A fight broke out. The commandant smashed a half-empty bottle of Tarva against the captain of the guard's head in the very first second. The captain staggered, but, given the large amount of free space in his head, he was not seriously injured. The captain of the guard drew his sword and rushed at the commandant. The latter slashed him across the face with the improvised bottle. The guard clutched his wounded face and retreated. However, the sword still managed to hit the commandant in the left rib. Both brawlers collapsed to the floor. Suddenly, the commandant threw the rest of the bottle at the already incapacitated guard and, with his last strength, stabbed him in the neck with a dagger hidden behind his back. The former paladin, who had been watching all this...
