Toen lay on the roof and looked at the clouds, all as one for some reason resembling dogs. Sometimes huge and vicious, sometimes affectionate and playful, sometimes hysterical mongrels. He suspected that he saw these dogs in the clouds because of the head of the council. A bad woman, really. Who knew that she would not agree to walk around the city and knock on a couple of houses. He would have brought her almost immediately to where the first suspect lives. But it didn't work out. And now it's too late. Even if this suspect left the city, now he has already returned. Toen personally saw him leaving his guardian's house. The girl was still hugging. Probably, if you ask them, both will wrinkle, blush and hint in every possible way that they were lying in bed for half a day. Together. They did not invite any witnesses there. And try, prove they're lying. Not under a rock to ask them about their personal lives.And Darine is a bad woman. Always trying to do everything right and the right

Valreth went so far into his inner world, in which he killed those who stole the energy and prevented him from becoming a guardian in the most brutal way, that he completely paid no attention to the approaching head of the council. He nodded automatically when she expressed her regrets and assured her that he would have made an excellent custodian. And when she asked who was the person who noticed this first, he answered without hesitation:- Esir Darkness.- How? Atana was genuinely surprised, not expecting that the fool from the house of the White Snake also got into intrigues with the keepers.Valret shrugged. Blinked, coming to his senses and confessed.I was also surprised when he came to me with that book.- A book?- There was a family tree on the spread. Keeper tree. It turns out that the wife of one of my distant ancestors was from their family. So I had to make it.Having spoken, Valreth took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and went to the exit.Atana just shook her head. A

Ladai blinked sleepily. Dorana yawned and from time to time began to look at the wall with empty eyes. Then she caught herself and tried to seem interested. Liiran struggled to concentrate, but it was not working well. Sleepy thoughts strove to fly away into distant distances and intertwine with creeping sleep.But Khiyat was disgustingly cheerful and talkative. To explain what exactly he needs, he began from afar, from where children come from and how they are obtained. Sometimes he lost his thoughts and for some reason began to talk about the fact that it is still unrealistic to find these old crimes in the bottomless memory of the city. But what is happening now, the city knows very well. And by the evening it will be possible to trace the entire chain of those who are somehow involved in the attempt to kill that stupid fireman. The listeners did not even try to understand what kind of fireman they were talking about.“You found the descendants of the keepers,” Ladai finally unders

“You can exclude your Silence,” Toen said and yawned widely. — I know where her grandfather took a wife for his son.- Where?- In the same school for orphans, where I studied after the death of my parents. I realized what kind of grandfather, I met a couple of times in the city. And he asked me very much not to tell anyone that he came to that school to choose a gifted girl. He wanted to renew his blood, to add magical talents to his family.— Threatened? Atana asked.- Not without it. And your mother, Tisha, was the great-granddaughter of a teacher at that school. When the grandmother died of old age, the girl stayed at school. Until this man appeared, she sat without getting out, even with other children she didn’t really communicate. She thought she deserved more. However, she got more than that.“Yes, I did,” Atana confirmed. - And she lived happily ever after, until she decided to go boating in a storm. Together with the youngest son of her husband.Toen took a sip from his cup,

Failed to get drunk.Kalar was just finishing his second beer, and Khiyat was dozing over the remnants of the first, as if some unfamiliar uncle appeared in the pub where the company was sitting, cursed the owner for no reason and ordered the applicants for silver chains to get out. Dean, already angry for no reason at all, answered the uncle's claims, and they quarreled merrily until the guards came and kicked everyone out of the establishment, including the owner. On the street it turned out that the owner of the piteyny was an idiot and was breaking someone's plans. The guards are still big idiots, because they did not recognize their native authorities, who the guests of the city generally considered to be some kind of extraneous uncle, climbing into their own affairs.On the other hand, the commanders of the guards called the group of Liiran Vue almost geniuses and began to assure that they would definitely receive the chains. These assurances shocked even Kalar, and Dean looked
