Heroist

— I’m glad to hear that. — Raylisia approached the coffee table where a certain document lay and picked it up. It was easy to guess that it had been left there by the previous visitor. — As you rightly noted, Sarnissa, I do pay great attention to my safety, very great attention. In my opinion, this is the best investment. — The Theosian passed the aforementioned document to Sarnissa. — Before you, representatives of three other squads had time to visit me, but they all refused this job as soon as they learned about the terms of this contract. Take a look at them and give me an answer when you’re done. Don’t rush; we don’t need to hurry yet.
The main points that can be highlighted in this document:
•1. The mercenaries’ task is to guard the employer and her belongings, regardless of the situation.
•2. If the employer or her belongings are harmed for any reason, the contract will be canceled and considered failed.
•3. The employer is not responsible for the actions of the mercenaries. Responsibility for damage caused, past crimes, and future ones lies entirely with them.
•4. All mercenaries will be given a copy of this document. One copy will also be sent to Enbille, and another to Yocheitan.
•5. Payments under the contract are made with each visit to a new location along the Arinasai -> Ilthan -> Suentan -> Shuna -> Ishhegal -> Shakhursang -> Veldaaran -> Aswalder -> Yorum -> Theosia -> Puria -> Ilinar -> Illiniar -> Arinasai route.
-But something else is not very clear to me. -After a short pause, she continued. -These papers provide for all possible scenarios regarding the mercenaries, but there is absolutely nothing about the goods themselves, if it’s not just your personal belongings, and the possible problems that we should be prepared for. It seems as if you don’t care much about such things, but you are very interested in getting the most out of us. Take, for example, the clause about the cancellation of the contract. Suppose one of us sneezes near your belongings in the middle of a deserted desert. Or you, excuse me, accidentally break a nail. The contract is void, and we are free? Will you get home on your own in that case, since we will no longer be bound by any restrictions?
-What about the clause on liability for damages? What kind of liability are we talking about? And liability for what? Your belongings? But what’s the point? After all, if the document has no force after cancellation, it means that my people can do whatever they want and will not be subject to any control in the future.
-I also need to know if anyone from your personal guard will accompany us, and if so, what skills they have.
-Finally, judging by these papers, you are in no hurry at all and are ready to wait until a suitable squad is found, aren’t you? But isn’t that too risky? Why not ease the terms or seek the help of professional soldiers? You understand that those who are eager to earn money will not provide adequate protection for you or your belongings. What’s the point of canceling the contract if we end up surrounded by bandits?
-So, let’s be a little more honest and open with each other. -Sarnissa finished with a slight smile. -As I can see, you are not in a hurry with this journey; I am not in a hurry either. If you do not consider it necessary to talk to me, then I will no longer bother you with my presence. But understand me correctly; I value the lives of my people and careful planning that leads to the effective completion of the task more than suicidal or financially meaningless activities.
