Gäheg didn't waste any time and immediately headed to the "Silverknight" headquarters. He wanted to quickly take care of the formalities, as he wanted to visit a sorcerer living by the sea before leaving. He always sought out such places when arriving in a new city, driven by a thirst for knowledge and a search for answers. In the application form, he answered honestly, except for the question about his origin. Gäheg answered this question differently each time, but usually associated himself with the Khontai and other non-human races.

Dahl Lang quickly surveyed the town, paying particular attention to its defensive fortifications. After forming her opinion, she headed to the "Silver Knight" to fulfill the contract. Agnet didn't offer her story, at least not unless asked, and frankly, why would they ask? Besides, if they were truly interested in those who worked for them, it wouldn't be difficult to find out something about Dahl Lang, and it was even more likely that they had already heard something. The only thing Agnet told the organization immediately, without hesitation, was her combat profile.

The sorcerer's mansion turned out to be perhaps one of the most luxurious buildings in the entire capital. Horrific statues and beautiful gardens adorned it from the outside, while inside the walls were decorated with various grotesque scenes. In the central hall there were many books and all sorts of curiosities, and in the center, in a comfortable armchair, sat the owner of the house himself.

When Nemo approached closer, he did not lift his head or even look at her, but nevertheless the sorcerer spoke. "Ah, follower of Xipil and demon-born... It has been a long time since I encountered representatives of your people."

The Silver Knight employee greeted Ratislav much more warmly than the previous visitor. She looked him up and down, pausing several times on his strong hands, silently fantasizing about something, then the girl quickly glanced over the filled-out papers. "Good. Your main task during the expedition will be to protect the equipment, found items, and the rest of the group members. In addition, if your comrades are injured, you must immediately provide them with healing assistance. Your estimated reward is 8000 ryn. You receive 2000 now, and the remaining amount will be paid after the successful completion of the expedition. The expedition starts tomorrow; you should arrive at our camp outside the city before that time, do not be late.

- I haven't encountered anyone in a long time who could recognize this without even looking at me, - Nemo said nervously, the all-knowing nature of the mage made her skin crawl, although she understood that the mage himself had probably acquired this knowledge through a deal with Xipil, - in fact, I can say I've never encountered anyone, except for the Master.

Following Ratislav, new visitors entered the Silverknight organization's hall. "There are quite a few of you today," the girl commented. After waiting for the paperwork to be completed, she, as always, carefully read all the information and concluded, "Agnet, you will protect the expedition by any means available to you, and also, if necessary, assist in healing the injured. Your estimated reward is 8000 Ryen. Here are your 2000, you can receive the rest after the expedition is completed." Turning her gaze to Gaheja, she assessed his closed clothing and hood with disappointment. "You, as I see, are a man of many talents, but the most valuable thing for our company is, of course, your knowledge in archeology. All the work related to it will be your main task. Your estimated reward is 12000 Ryen, here are your 3000 now. We expect you at our camp outside the city tomorrow."

After thanking the girl, Gaheg was about to head to the sorcerer, but the amount he received made him change his plans, so he decided to visit the armory first.

haha. they gave me more

We'll be waiting for you at our camp outside the city tomorrow.

--Well, see you tomorrow, don't be late! -- Agnet said goodbye. Then she went to examine the main square, where portraits of criminals were displayed. And she still had some time to visit the Academy of Healing Magic: to admire the majestic building from the outside, go inside, and chat with its inhabitants. And she decided to do just that.

- I haven't encountered anyone who could recognize this without even looking at me for a long time, - Nemo said nervously, a shiver ran down her skin from the wizard's omniscience, although she understood that the wizard himself had most likely acquired this knowledge through a deal with Xipil, - I can even say that I have never encountered such a person, except for the Master.

- "Master." A semblance of a smile formed on the sorcerer's face. - So, that's how you address him. I used to use his services myself... The price for the knowledge I received was my sight, my sense of smell, and the ability of my body to feel anything. But I don't regret it because in the end, I gained more than I lost, and then I severed all ties with the demon, leaving him with nothing. But I doubt you're interested in hearing about this. What is the purpose of your desire to talk to me, child?

Thanking the girl, Gahege was about to go to the sorcerer, but the amount he received made him change his plans, and therefore, for starters, he decided to go to the armory.

In the armory, he was met by two men, both of strong build, clearly warriors, and clearly not sober at the moment. Joyfully saying "to Queen Azalea!", they clinked glasses, emptied them, and then poured more. However, their help was not needed to assess the range of goods.
Basic equipment:
Knife. Damage 10. 10 R
Dagger. Damage 15. 30 R
One-handed weapon. Damage ~20. ~150 R
Two-handed weapon. Damage ~40. ~200 R
Polearm. Damage ~30. ~150 R
Bow. Damage 30. Range 50. 100 R
Crossbow. Damage 35. Range 70. 130 R
Pistol. Damage 30. Range 35, armor penetration 50%. 650 R
Rifle. Damage 40, range: 60, armor penetration 50%. 1000 R
Heavy armor. 400 R
Light armor. 100 R

Also, among everything else, the following weapons could be distinguished:
White Knight (pistol). Damage 50. Range 35. Armor penetration 100%. 5000 R
Night Secret (pistol). Damage 25. Range 30. Armor penetration 50%. Two additional attacks. 5000 R
Execution (axe). Damage 45. Kills characters whose health is below 50%. 3000 R
Black Ice (one-handed sword). Damage 30. Chance to parry enemy spells is acquired (it is equal to the character's will + dexterity). A successful hit on the enemy removes 100 units of magical energy from him. 6000 R

In addition, it was possible to forge higher-quality basic weapons, but the cost increased accordingly.
And in conclusion, it was possible to forge weapons to order here.

--Well, see you tomorrow, don't be late! -- Agnet said goodbye. Then she went to examine the main square, where portraits of criminals were displayed. And she still had some time for the Academy of Healing Magic: to examine this majestic building from the outside, go inside, and talk to its inhabitants. Which she decided to do immediately.

Agnet, to her great regret, could not get inside the Academy; she was stopped at the first level of access. Only students and management were allowed further. Instead, the girl stayed with a young assistant, who deals with all visitors.
He offered her to look at the list of what the academy can provide in exchange for money.
Tractate of Healing Magic. Healing 200 R
Tractate of Healing Magic. Mental Shield 1000 R
Tractate of Healing Magic. Restoration 200 R
Tractate of Healing Magic. Dispel 800 R
Tractate of Healing Magic. Salvation 500 R
Tractate of Healing Magic. Grace 500 R
Tractate of Elemental Magic. Healing Tree. 400 R
Theoretical and Practical Medicine. For those cases when magic no longer helps. Unlocks the doctor skill 750 R.

(tractates are not learned as knowledge; instead, sorcerers read directly from them)

To Khorus's disappointment, the only (albeit quite large) tavern in the city was empty, as everywhere else, most people went to admire the queen and participate in the festivities on the street. The tavern owner left his young daughter, crooked and VERY plump, to serve customers. When Khorus entered, she was overjoyed, as he pleased her so much. She eagerly awaited his order.

The girl calmed down a bit, realizing that the wizard was unlikely to give her up; rather, he would try to dissuade her. "And isn't he something else when it comes to his 'clients'?" Nemo smirked. "I came for the same thing you once made a deal for. I came for knowledge. And you are known as a well-read, erudite man who understands all sorts of witchcraft. I wouldn't mind learning from your knowledge and experience. Don't worry about the money; I have plenty at the moment."

To Horus's slight disappointment, the only (albeit quite large) tavern in the city was empty, as everywhere else, as most people had gone to admire the queen and participate in the festivities on the street. The tavern owner left his young daughter, who was bow-legged and VERY plump, to serve customers. When Horus entered, she was overjoyed, as he pleased her so much. She eagerly awaited his order.

wrong door, I'm leaving!!
- Good day, I'd like some beer and meat.
It would be good to find out the local gossip; I should chat about it with the tavern owner's daughter.

- In a way, you are right. People tend to create an image of their master in their minds. It can be a king, it can be a god, and sometimes, as in your case, it is a demon. Will you get what you desire or become just another victim of the demon of knowledge? Time will tell. Well then. The old man rose from his chair with unusual ease for his age. I can teach you any magical specialization that I know. Of course, true mastery comes only with experience, but you cannot build a house without laying a foundation.

Elemental magic, reality manipulation, dark magic, arcane magic, healing magic, life magic. Besides the basics, I can write treatises on many spells of these schools, and if you have enough talent, you will be able to read them and expand your magical horizons. What do you want to learn? Are you interested in unconventional magic? I can also teach shamanism; my research in Anaqvade was not in vain, and now I know much more than your shamans. Are you interested in learning how to create your own world in your mind, where you can live as you please while your body sleeps? Are you interested in being able to see into the future? Do you want your spells to be much more powerful? Or maybe so that they don't take away so much of your life energy? Should I continue, or have you already heard something that interests you?

- Good afternoon, I would like a beer and some meat.

- It will be done, sir! The plump woman vanished in an instant and reappeared just as quickly a couple of minutes later, holding a tray with a huge piece of meat in one hand and a glass of beer in the other. She put everything on the table and awkwardly winked at her only customer. However, she didn't intend to leave.

- Although I have some knowledge of arcane and healing magic, I have always been interested in the possibility of changing the reality around me,” Nemo found it difficult to make a choice; she wanted everything at once, but there wasn’t much money or time, so she decided to focus on something specific – so I would gladly join the knowledge concerning changing this very reality. Although, I must admit, each school of magic interests me in its own way.

- Yes, sir! - Pyshka vanished in an instant and reappeared just as quickly a couple of minutes later, holding a tray with a huge piece of meat in one hand and a mug of beer in the other. She placed everything on the table and awkwardly winked at her only customer. However, she didn't intend to leave.

Having started drinking the beer and eating the meat, Khorus, between sips and chews, asked Pyshka what interesting rumors were circulating in the city.
- Or maybe... young lady... you could tell me where I can play a few rounds of cards or dice, or perhaps something else, to have some fun?

Any of the countless plans that Amos Zelig devised during his journey hinged on the need for a decent sum to properly settle the migrant in his new home. The costs of the long journey and the exorbitant exchange rate depleted his wallet, and the prices of real estate were depressing. Therefore, he observed the parade with great attention and decided that it would be quite reasonable to use the current political situation to his advantage. Join the king's procession, show himself, and there might be potential. He was certain of one thing: he absolutely did not want to spend the rest of his life rummaging around in the genitals of arrogant livestock.
His keen gaze did not miss the board with the wanted criminals, and for a moment, he lingered on the five-digit numbers with three zeros. Hunting bounties is a job for young, underdeveloped primates, but nevertheless, there is no harm in gathering additional information that might be useful. Therefore, he headed towards the reward distributor with the intention of learning more.

The Sorcerer showed a sign of surprise for the first time during the entire conversation. "Reality manipulation is a rather rare type of magic, but undoubtedly very powerful. However, knowing about the characteristics of your people, I expected you to be interested in life magic. You made a different choice. The cost of learning any magical specialization is 2000 Riennes. When we finish with this, I can provide you with the following spells of this magic for a separate fee:
Time Flow. This spell is somewhat similar to the one taught at the academy, but it is still different. If you have enough strength, you can move any object you want forward in time. Steel will rust, stone will crumble, a person will become old, and so on.
Animation. A character can make statues and other inanimate objects with similar characteristics fight on their side.
Creation. A character can bring an imaginary object into reality. This is a very difficult spell and requires a very clear idea of what the spellcaster wants to create.
Learning any of the spells listed above can take years, so I will write treatises, and if you can, you can use them."

Having started drinking beer and eating meat, Khorus, between sips and chews, asked the barmaid what interesting rumors were circulating in the city.
"Or maybe... young lady... you can tell me where I can play a few games of cards or dice, or maybe something else, to have some fun?"

"What rumors! Right now, everyone is primarily concerned with today's holiday, and few people are interested in the fact that the owner's daughter got pregnant by a simple peasant boy. But as for games... You must not have been in our city before... Or in the region at all. Gambling is prohibited here. But don't despair!!" The girl clenched her fist and waved it cheerfully, as if symbolizing "victory." "I saw everything I needed in my father's warehouse, and we can play with you! It's all been gathering dust for a long time, so I don't think he'll mind if I take something from there."
