100 Questions 26
Devil, how many are there? They almost completely filled the exit, almost getting stuck in each other. Wriggled, crunching plates, combing them on the walls and floor. I watched in fascination as predators crawl away into their native darkness. Apparently, they know that this place is too tough for them. They really don't see anything here.He breathed a sigh of relief as he stretched out on the carpet. It floated before my eyes. And right above me was a huge crystal, blinding with bright light. I didn't want to think about whether it was dangerous here. I didn’t want to do anything, just lie down and feel how the limbs are filled with the weight of fatigue.- Neri, you are a miracle, - I hissed, stretching out my hand and feeling for the hard wool.The dog, too, was out of breath, though less than mine. Now I somehow understood her dead master. If I wasn't a Hero, if I wasn't immortal, I wouldn't be able to endure this. From one awareness of the dangerous neighborhood of creatures, s

- Cattle, damn it! - with a cry, I pulled the creature's head, finally tearing it away from the body.Swinging, he threw it into the crowd.- Yes, I'll fuck you all!A bloody veil stood before my eyes, and the blade cut, stabbed, opened, causing heart-rending squeals.- How did you fuck, smelly animals!Having intercepted a thin wooden stake with which they tried to stab me, he pulled it out of the goblin's hands. A kick - and the frail creature falls to the ground.Before I had time to properly deal with one group, another immediately jumped up. They piled on me, trying to stab me with wooden stakes, stab me with sharp stones, and beat me with bones. And this enraged them even more, forcing them to continue the fierce battle ...***The end of the corridor was visible ahead. Neri and I were pretty exhausted, and the creatures with faces instead of predatory muzzles seemed to have not played enough. Having fairly exhausted their population, I still noticed new freaks, striving to bite

Be patient, hero Dehra. Now we will list the penalties for death and rewards for victories. This is a standard procedure that we arrange after leaving the dungeon.First. You are dead. The fight was with a stronger opponent, whom you even defeated in the end, showing people a cruel spectacle. For this death, you lose a point of Agility and your experience is reset to the second level. It was a heroic death, so all the skills are still with you, rejoice!I wildly wanted to scream obscenities, but I was not given the right to vote. It remained only with pain in the heart to observe how cruelly the word "point" was emphasized. It's not a unit of progress, it's a point. So, my Dexterity is again a five... Yes, and experience can also be waved with a pen.Second. You have defeated the hero Suharik! It was a mutual kill, so you did not earn experience or an increase in characteristics. Please accept our apologies."Bitch you, System."Third. You completed the dungeon, this is a good achieve

Most likely, if the sun pleases with heat, it will be possible to build a fire. But by nightfall, I will definitely pay it off. I don't need a light that seems welcoming. I want the unnatural, blue glow of the caterpillars. It looks dangerous, almost mystical. The best way to hint sensibly is to stay away. The strange twinkling and eerie laughter of the hyena are companions for the camp in the night forest.Nary and I moved in a direction that could be considered known for only one reason: it went in the opposite direction from the dungeon. No, it's not that I find the dungeon very unfriendly. To be honest, at least everything is clear there. In the corridors - dangerous, in the rooms - a little less. But I like the forest more.Making our way among the trees and bushes, we did not even think about whether there was any progress in this. I didn’t think about anything at all, but Neri ... Apparently, she was considering options for sleeping. The girl sometimes yawned, opening wide her

- Don't, my friend, - I sighed, starting to face the creature. Nobody said that I would live forever. At this rate, I again on the rep. Not scary. The main thing is that I gave you the promised large piece of meat.Cutting the mandibles out of the muzzle was much easier than cutting off the fingers. Pokumekav, did not spray on the eyes, language or attempts to find something valuable. Five fingers, two jaws. I strongly doubted that this was worth a myriad of coins ... But maybe if I ask nicely, they will help at least a little.- Let's go, Neri.It was hard to stand up. But as soon as I started walking, it became a little easier.Along the stream. Upstream. Because this crap is coming from somewhere. So, there must be a larger reservoir. So there must be people.I hoped. Because there was nothing left. It's good that there is still enough sun.Brains are scrambled. Well mixed, seasoned and cooked. The sun was already pretty hot on the back of my head. It was not just swimming before m

A woman opened to me. Far from beautiful, and the figure is plump, but her eyes were just right. Dull, mysterious. Grey-green. Curious. They do not fit at all with an ugly face, where one feature tried to be brighter than the other. What do you need?“Think about it,” I snapped, jerking the stump of my arm.“I don’t grow limbs,” the woman muttered, trying to close the door.But my leg got in the way.- I'm crying just to heal other wounds. And for this stump to stop bleeding. Tighten the wounds, don't care about your hand.- Do you have money? It will cost five coins.- Agreed, let's get down to business.They finally let me in. Neri the sorceress tried to leave her on the street, but my friend with a bloody muzzle showed no joy at this. On the contrary: she growled lingeringly, in her own way as a hyena. It sounded terrible.I sat down on a chair. He accepted a mug with something foul-smelling.“Drink while I prepare for the spell,” the woman asked sleepily, cautiously walking aroun

The sibyl took part in killing the elf, gaining half a point of experience for both of you.- Elf? What the hell is an elf?!Feeling a feeling of sticky fear enveloping his heart, he tried to calm down and concentrate on the new message in order to get more details. At least the name of the victim.But the System stubbornly kept silent. The explanation disappeared, leaving me in the dark. And I was dumbfounded, remembering that Alliel herself came to the settlement. Cut off her hair, renounced the elves to join me...Did the Sibyl help kill her? Jealousy? Hatred? Desire to annoy? It is unlikely that she just walked with someone into the forest, met a pointy-eared one and simply killed him. It would not just be an amazing story - fantastic, rather. Why would Sibyl, the alcoholic, go to the forest? What is there to do?But here Alliel is alone, surrounded by a bunch of people. And Heroes. It is unlikely that there are so few who want to kill an elf."That can't be," I whispered, sitting

- In your case, if you find it, it's by chance. The target can be anywhere in the world, and the System is usually slow to help. So the only way to get revenge is to travel and look for anyone who knows something about the right person.Of course, I didn't know who he was. Maybe a local celebrity, or maybe an unknown tramp. I haven't heard any big names in general. But since the beginner began to have questions, I wanted to give confident answers.- I see, - Rybka set aside an empty bowl and began to drink ale. - And what is your proposal?- Offer? I smiled, tilting my head.- You didn't just start asking all this. And feeding me like your hyena is also not a gesture of ordinary generosity.Shaking his head, he looked tiredly at Rybka. Well, though not quite a novice, but still a fool. I was too lazy to explain that food is not top dressing. When you basically have trophies in the form of money, it’s not clear what value, you can’t distribute them left and right for every small good.

The blacksmith's apprentice looks on with interest. In a small town, such things are rare, so the merchant immediately called the artisan, and he grabbed the apprentice ... And so the four of them stood, crowding around the dagger of the Angel.- The metal is good, - the blacksmith said quietly, pointing with his finger; the apprentice listened attentively. - They call it the steel of the titans. Almost impossible to break, only melted at a very high temperature ...- Are you squeezing? - asked the merchant, looking at the craftsman.“Of course,” the broad-shouldered man replied. - I'll have to kill for this time, but I can.- Why do you want to sell it? - the apprentice asked me.And for this question he was rewarded with looks full of horror. The blacksmith had already raised his hand to slap the back of the head, and the young man dodged aside.“I don’t need expensive things,” he answered, moving the stiletto closer to the merchant. - Noticeable - even more so. I'm just a hunter.-

Touching the crossbow, he took it in his hands, tried to pull the bowstring. She cut into her fingers. She walked reluctantly, bending her wooden shoulders.- Come on ... - I asked, pushing it to the limit with the last of my strength. - Ready.It will be inconvenient to use a crossbow at such a pace. It is worth keeping it charged and at hand.Bolt lay in his hand. Turning the tip in the dim light of the stove, he put it into the socket. Pointed at the wall. Narrowed his eyes. Who knows. Will have to check how it shoots. A crossbow is a powerful thing, but very inconvenient for a traveler. Low rate of fire, and most of the creatures are mobile and poorly protected. Except that…I was reminded of Heroes dressed in armor. Which neither sword nor arrow usually pierce. I smiled wickedly. Get a bolt in the chest, which you can also pull out the hell, because it's stuck in steel. Why not joy for a lousy little man? From this point of view, the crossbow can be left.- Well, let's be friends

They were waiting for me in the dark. The purest darkness swirled with the vapors of the night, and they were pierced by the fire of the fire. Empty mouths of streets going nowhere. Too hard ground, as for the feet of such a lost one. But they waited, leaving a secret among the corpses.- You still killed Beam.I stopped. Pain pounded through my nerves, fatigue huddled in every muscle, lost thoughts were replaced by clear realizations.- Killed - impassively answered, not even trying to see the invisible.- Do you know what you did?- It was revenge.Words of recognition that took on a new meaning. Not just revenge - it was pleasure.- We had an agreement with Beam. Now it's broken.- And now what?- This city is ours.The rats didn't show up, but I was sure I really heard their voice. Despite the death fever bubbling in the body. It was not delusion, hallucination, imagination.- You broke the contract that held us ten years. Now it's our turn to pay for the service.

The door shook from the impact. I just need a little time. Recover. No matter how serious the guard was, it was not possible to break in. Wait, freak, we'll see you.Taking back control of the muscles, he glanced at the indicators in the interface. Mana is enough. The berserk has long since died out, depriving me of part of my strength. Not that important.Rolling away from the door, he let it open with a kick. The guard smiles bloodthirstyly. Not afraid? In vain.Impulse Activation.4 mana spent.This time the hit is accurate. The guard, who had time to approach and swing his baton, lifted himself off the floor. The purposeful flow of air tossed the thin body, disorienting. Gotta hand it to the kid - landed on his feet.Rush forward. knock down. Intercept the hand with the baton. Saddle. Hit.The guard tries to cover himself. He was not taught to fight in this position.

Thoughts became even darker. Magic can't be used? You can come to terms with this. But what is this strange reaction of the body to a blow from a baton? After all, they hit the prosthesis. Yes, and the first blow was not so painful when the fingers flew. Sadden, of course. The skin was torn, it bled a little. But nothing terrible.The club looked normal. Wooden. The guards said that magic can't be used. Then why am I twisted?“Grid,” I called, casting aside my pride.- Listen, fox.- What kind of club do the guards have?- Who knows?- You do not know?- I know. She is wooden. Probably.- And that's it?Grid was silent. Grimacing, I buried my face in my knees. They took away my crown, weapon, smoking pipe, bag with the Diary. All have been taken. And now they're going to keep it here? What the heck? What is Beam thinking?- Watch out, it's almost night. The torches are almost out.Torches. They burn for quite a long time. Also weird. In Artilos, they had to be changed about once an ho

And now we are standing in front of some thin guy. Bim is angrily pushing something. For some reason, I crumpled the collar of my shirt, bringing my frightened face closer to me. I punch a couple of times, cutting through the skin with the steel of the prosthesis. The guy screams plaintively, making excuses. As soon as I let him go, he tries to run away. Bim with laughter, like a crazy animal, rushes after him. Jumping! Catches the fugitive, pinning him to the ground. With a crunch, he breaks his hand. I laugh, leaning against the wall. Makes me sick. The ataman takes out a purse from the poor man's pocket. Hangs on his belt. Finally he kicks me and waves his hand to me: "Let's go."And then we broke into someone's house. Long disputes about debts. Powder is sprinkled on the countertop. Beam generously tightens his nostrils. Grabs the bag, pours out more. He invites me with his gaze. I lean. Shaking. I have a hard time taking a short puff. I scream, I shake my head. The system warns a

- Will you go? Lisa looked at me sadly.- Yes. Try not to worry and relax. Just close behind me.Picking up the bag, kissed the girl goodbye and left the room.***The streets of the city were lifeless. Beam and I are almost the only passers-by. You can't even see the patrols... The houses are standing, crooked and tired. The sun did not have time to flare up as it should, and around us there was a cool twilight. Everything is painted in soft blue. Frost is visible in places.“Everything didn’t go according to plan,” Beam began, dragging on his pipe. “The Recognized didn't go that far before.“They knew about you,” remembering, he suppressed a yawn with difficulty. - Apparently, the Heroes decided to take on the atamans.- Let them take it. You can’t get to the barons, and if they are alive, then there will always be atamans, - the man waved his hand casually. - In any case, we are not rebels. Our interest is in money, not in the killed "heroes". Let them search, sniff. Let's get by w

- I lost my horse.“Like many of us,” the chieftain chuckled. - Nothing, don't worry. Goldie immediately went to the stable to look after the horses for us. It is at the other end of the village, a little further away. Let's go to.Glancing at the dead Hero, whose body began to gradually crumble into ashes, he grimaced and picked up his sword. It was the only thing of any value. I won't wear metal armor.- Let's go, - with a sigh, he followed the Red Beam.You have successfully completed the quest "The Judgment of the Guilty". Hooray, long live the robbery of innocent souls.You receive a point of experience and a point of Abandonment.For a reward, contact the NPC.***Perhaps it was presumptuous of us. Maybe thoughtlessly. Or maybe ... initially impossible.“It’s someone strong,” Bim muttered.A thinned group of robbers, among whom was I, stood in front of the stable. We were united by one feeling - an animal fear that binds hands and feet. On the hay scattered in front of the stall

The short weapon slashed at the monster with a bloodthirsty slash. He got confused. I got distracted.Slide on the ground. Grab the hilt of the sword.- Break off! - shouted, twisting the blade.Ribs stop movement.Impulse Activation.Mana spent.The wind became like steel cutting through the sternum. I tensed, planting my feet on the ground, arching, cutting my torso with a furious scream.Impulse Activation.Mana spent.The blade spun along the ribs, splitting the muscles… crippling the organs. The creature crashed down on me. I hear Bim's scream. I hear the beat of my heart. I feel hot blood. I hold the monster with two blades, I rest on my knees. Davit, I'm barely coping, but the job is almost done.The monster shuddered for the last time. Softened, becoming even heavier. Between us is death, between us is blood and pain.
