The new morning on the farms was no different from the previous one. Shortly before dawn, rows of peasants stretched along the roads between the fields. The shepherds drove their herds along the edge of the forest, greeting familiar hunters. In the forest, axes spoke, piercing the timber trees. With the victory of light over darkness, the yard of the master's domain was filled with the screech of saws, the noise of voices and the hammer on the anvil. At the behest of Nismass, the world outside the city walls came to life and stirred, but here, in the stone bowl of mountains, it belonged to one person - His Majesty of arable land and forests - the Landlord.The morning really seemed ordinary, and no one would have noticed the difference if there hadn't been a fussy peasant named Jagins in the domain. Walking around the estate until sunrise, he accidentally went into the left wing, where the landowner's office was located, and stumbled upon the baron there. The shutters were closed. The

Miranda climbed into a chair with legs and wrapped herself up to her chin in a light cotton cloak. I sat for a long time. From the darkness came the rustle of grass and the rustle of trees. The birds sang and fell silent. From time to time, somewhere at the entrance to the cave, stones fell from the cliffs. Then through the gloom came the soft voice of the mother:“ A long time ago, there was a cult of nature on Mirkhold. The adherents of this cult were called druids. They lived as hermits in stone towers surrounded by wild forests. The ruins of their fortresses still stand in the Ore Mountains. Druids did not know the magic of the bol, but could turn into animals using charmed stones, which are called "spherals". Like the first Nismantes, they drew strength from a divine source.Miranda grimaced as she touched the hemp bandage on her shoulder. Soaked in ointments, she continued to draw out the poison, carried by the dead man's thorns. Turning her head, she felt slightly dizzy and dec

The rays of the setting sun illuminated a wide stone platform littered with bones. Below, overcoming fatigue, a henchman clambered up the slope. His scarlet half-robe with a knee-length peplum was torn and covered with stone chips. Clinging to the edge of the ledge, he pulled his heavy body up one last time, and collapsed onto the rocky ground.Nearby, as before, lay two dead men: a few steps away - the stiff body of a young man with a noose around his neck, a little further away - a withered skeleton with a severed head. Both the deceased were dressed in similar clothes. The young man jumped up, pulling a stone ax from his belt. He built it below, breaking the useless staff and parting with sandals, the straps of which went to strengthen the stone blade.Holding the weapon in both hands, the listener looked around. It seemed that he was experiencing this moment not for the first time. The stone man kept among the firs at the foot of a sheer cliff. The giant's hands ended in huge boul

The grey-haired Nismanth sighed sadly and withdrew, closing the doors behind him. Kelar at this time turned to the henchmen. Seven sat at the table and looked anxiously at the steward.“ Now bring food and drink. Don't touch them until you get permission from the abbot. Listen to everything he tells you and ask without fear. I conjure, ask without fear! When he leaves, you will be allowed to talk among yourselves. Remember, the purpose of this meal is to bring you closer together so that you can appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses. Saint Luitgarda is watching you, and will send blessings only to those in whom she finds humility and love.The listeners nodded in unison. The young man sitting opposite Dolph raised his hand. The hawk-like eyes of Thorax turned to him.– Question? Yes.“ Why do you need to close Kenovia?Werf looked at the half-wit with contempt. Wiman explained everything to them in advance, on the day when they demanded to join the path. To ask such a quest

The city came to life with the first rays of the sun. As always, the spark of life flared up in the lower limit, and then, like a fire, spread throughout Gottford. The fishermen were the first to go to sea. On narrow single-masted boats, hundreds of sea hunters left the lagoon and swam towards the horizon. Hammers clattered and saws screeched in the shipyards. The narrow sandy streets and wooden stairs among the hills were filled with dirty figures. The inhabitants of the lower quarter began to work in the morning. The homeless begged for alms. Someone was in a hurry to get contracts in the shops. The old fishermen checked the nets on the piers and collected seaweed to sell to the farmers. The dockers lined up near the port office, where they gathered unloading teams. Women left their houses and walked along the streets, carrying earthenware jars to the stream.The slums were followed by the middle quarter. As soon as the sun rose above the mountain line, the shepherd's horns blew. Th

The sergeants took their places next to him. Gunnar at this time put a pile of parchments on the edge of the table. At the same time, a servant brought the governor a tall golden goblet filled to the brim with wine. After taking a sip, Marius threw a displeased glance at the new arrivals and said:“ You two are at the council for the first time. You have been selected for your good service and loyalty. I warn you, facts may be read here and the interests of important people may be affected, which are forbidden to be disclosed. The purpose of your presence is to listen carefully, so that you can then solve the problems that have arisen on my behalf. Incognita.“ Yes, your grace,” the guards said in unison.Satisfied with the glib reply, Marius began sorting through the messages. The content of those documents that were not intended for the ears of the militia, the baron put aside. The rest were read aloud. Most of them were the ridiculous petitions of the rich, who did not like the ste

Through the gloom, Shanti felt a touch. Someone's cold fingers clutched at his hand. The first thing that came to mind was the dead. With a strangled cry, he opened his eyes. Overhead, the vault of a cave loomed black. There was darkness everywhere, only a lamp was burning somewhere in the distance. Turning his head, he met Annabelle's pale face. The girl's brown eyes looked like pieces of coal in the dim light.– What are you yelling at? she asked rudely.As always, courtesy itself, Shanti thought. The last time he fell asleep, the peasant woman lay like a corpse, barely breathing. Now, like, was in order, except for the swollen cheek.- Where did you drag me, and why did you lie down next to me? – again breathed dissatisfied voice.Shanti immediately sat down on the couch nearby and briefly explained everything. Anabel listened attentively and gradually changed in her face.- I thought you were dead. I thought you weren't breathing, he admitted honestly. “When you hit your head on t

Armed with swords and crossbows, the militia left Gottford as soon as the sun crossed the zenith. Not far from the gate, Rumbold and Fergus trotted their horses to a trot, sending the guard Rick ahead of them. We drove for a long time under the cliffs among the spruce groves along which the city wall stretched. Then the steep climb began. The forest road rushed to the mountains. All this time, Rumbold answered his questions in monosyllabic phrases, but as soon as they rose above the valley, the junior sergeant began to talk.- Great. The thieves' lair is left behind, - he commented, looking back at the city, spread out far below, and, looking at it, added as if by chance: - Except for one thief.- Are you still angry? Fergus grumbled.- From what? They just tried to kill me. Think it's a big deal. Rumbold adjusted the bandage on his forehead and chuckled. I'm not angry, but I won't forget it either. I know that for some time now I have become an open book for you, with the exception o

Rick didn't listen as he aimed his crossbow at him. Rumbold pointed his sword at the bearded mercenary, who was holding an ax with both hands. Distenza stepped forward, shielding his comrades. As befits an honest leader, he plunged his sword into the ground and showed his empty hands as a sign of good intentions.Your name is Fergus, right? the mercenary inquired, curling his thin lips in a grin. “Grog was your friend. I see you have similar amulets. He often spoke of you as if you were a half-witted fellow ...The warriors behind him burst into laughter. Fergus didn't hear half of what he said." Explain how he died," he demanded, his eyes fixed on the warrior's shell, which featured a seven-pointed star with a crown in the center.“ Two weeks ago he went north to carry out his master's assignment and disappeared without a trace.- What are you saying then?" Of course he's dead," Distenza laughed. What do you think he was doing there all this time? Enough chatting! You're not here f

A massive clot of flame illuminated the hall with sunlight. There were blood stains on the floor. For the first time since ancient times, work was in full swing under the arch of the smelter. After the mechanical spider jumped down, turning Linus into a mess, the bandits began to work together on a rescue plan. It consisted in a one-time escape in all conceivable directions, which was only in the hands of the creature. Tant slid along the wall, watching the massacre in fear. The state was such as if he was rising from the depths. A buzz grew in my head, and people continued to rush around.Having crushed the one-eyed Linus, the monster chose a new target and attacked Bertrand, slamming the vomit-weed lover into the floor. Kendrick miraculously dodged the swing of a steel limb and ran to the nearest hole in the wall, where he jumped safely. The despondent Kuno ran away until he broke his knee and, realizing that he could not leave, met death with a sad face.Some bandits gave a tear up
