FAULT ; ARTIFACT chapter 104
“No, this is not the Middle Ages anywhere,” the young man reflected. - Rather, something closer to the nineteenth century, or even to the beginning of the twentieth, - he concluded and looked after an elegant carriage drawn by two horses. A coachman in a green jacket, driving the animals, shouted something in an unfamiliar language.- This is a small coastal town, I have already examined everything here, - Marina commented on shaking his head. - He is quite rich because of maritime trade and fishing: the fish is salted and sent deep into the mainland. There is also a manufactory, well, workshops where they make all sorts of different things. But there are no military schools, no magical academy. I understand this, I read many books about such places.- What kind of books? Yura wondered.Well, fantasy...- Aaah, yes ... - the young man prudently concealed his skepticism. - And what about the progress? Are there guns, cannons?“Here you guys just give it to you,” the girl puffed out her

The prisoner began to inspect the ceiling and walls, but he did not find any lamps, like windows, on them. Only the smooth surface of large stone blocks, and heaps of boxes and bags along the walls. But there was light, and even if not very bright, this light evenly filled the hall!Here the attention of those who came was intercepted by black Mike, who waved his hand affably, inviting everyone to the table. A man already familiar to Yura was sitting next to him and frowning his face. The same "groaner" that appeared with him in the dark basement on the first day in this world. Now he looked gloomy and sported a week-long stubble that suited him just fine. He was dressed in all the same rough clothes from the local collection "From Freebies for Popadants", except that her size was larger than Marina's. A little further away sat a Korean woman who did not show off her feminine charms today, due to the presence of clothes of the mentioned style on her body.Two monks brought a heavy vat

- How long have you personally been in this world? Zhenya asked, taking on the role of the main questioner."Thirty years," the man sighed. - Okay, move on. Don't judge this place by this city, this world is different. And the northern end of the mainland is a calm place, at the same time it is very similar in vegetation and weather to our world. Cities and lands near cities resemble oases, not in the sense that it is good in them, but in the sense that this is a world of people and there, beyond the plowed fields - the possession of monsters. Those who created this place did not create it from scratch, but took a world like ours and thoroughly “shoveled”. This is due to the fact that the creators of the System have a special attitude towards local residents. They are ordinary mortals, and judging by the books and legends, the "zoo" for people like us was not always here. So respect the local laws and regulations, they are reasonable, even if you have to answer not to the law, but to

Vladimir's explanation, which is not an explanation at all, but a brief briefing on points important from the narrator's point of view, did not satisfy Yura at all. And not because the information was unimportant, no, probably very important, only this information at the current moment was perceived very much out of touch with what was happening.Everyone talks about fantasy and RPG elements, but they are not felt around at all, there is another world, there is no fantasy. Well, except that there is a sign with the status. At the same time, at first, Yura doubted that this world was different, not native. The first day it seemed to him that it was worth leaving the city, walking a couple of kilometers and this whole attraction would end. But after thinking about the situation a little, he understood clearly - this is not a hoax and not a film set of a global scale. And it's not even about the characteristics plate, which an inquisitive mind quickly found a couple of "scientific" expla

As you know, you get used to good things quickly, which is why, after two relatively comfortable nights, the young man believed that the worst was over. Ah, if only… For a couple of “calm” nights, the “Cthulhu” below gained strength and on the third night set about Yura thoroughly, turning the morning return to the suffering body into a heavenly awakening. The torment turned out to be so unbearable that the next evening the former gamer decided not to sleep at all and tossed and turned for a long time, sniffing on the bed. To which Zhenya, who also spent the night in the hostel and who couldn’t sleep like Yuri’s sniffling, briefly told him:- It's no use, the gopnik said that if you miss a night, then the next one you'll suffer for two and throw it on top. He tried twice, I didn't check, but I'm sure he's right.Having finished, Zhenya, following a vow of laconicism, turned away and sniffed on the next bed. Yura followed suit. The night turned out to be…The next day he felt better, i

The first thought was to take something heavier, more dangerous and impressive. Leaving a dubious impulse, Yura thought thoroughly, which proved that, even if he was a nerd, he was not soldered three times intellect in vain. Therefore, for starters, he examined the weapon and equipment, twisted it, waved something, knocked on something and generally thought hard with his head about his capabilities.The head said that he had no opportunities, a little more than completely. And it was insulting, annoying, but okay. Although it's not okay, of course, but the ass is complete.The halves of the cuirass did not close on him, and if they did, it was difficult to tighten the straps that held these halves together. Yes, he has lost a lot of weight in recent days, but his current eighty kilograms were not distributed throughout the body in the most harmonious way. And this is with a height of sixty-odd meters.Chain mail is solid, each ring with a small “lock” so that it does not straighten ou

**Black observer: - Today someone will rake ...White Observer: Don't go to the same place twice.**"Oh! Oo! Ltd! Yura was delighted. - The physique has grown to one!What he saw pleased him so much that he even jumped happily on the spot.“I wonder if it’s because I lost weight or because I walked a lot today?”Rejoiced, he began to remember the last time in his life he walked more than seven kilometers on foot and was surprised to find that he had never. Minibuses with buses passed through it. For some reason, upset by this fact, Yura began to think over what the observers had written.“What does “Today someone will rake ...” mean? So me or someone else? If “someone”, please, I don’t mind, even with two hands for. Especially if those "someones" are mobs, he mused. “And what does “Don’t go to the same place twice” mean. And how to return to the city? Maybe it concerns what traps?Thoughtful, and not thinking of anything worthwhile, the hitman trudged behind another cart loaded with

Yura watched all this, pushing the branches of a thick bush, behind which he lay down in one of the monster's absences. He did not forget about the rear either, hastily throwing branches and grass plucked nearby over him. The young man did not experience any mental anguish and outbursts of pity, set by the genre, firmly intending to kill the goblin by hook or by crook, which he himself was quietly amazed at. The monster aroused in him a deep hatred and a desire to kill, unknown during his lifetime.Despite the holozados, the goblin turned out to be a real gourmet - a deli. He gutted the fish with a sharpened metal plate, sprinkled it with something from the pots and put it around with pre-cut roots. All this was piled on the iron sheet mentioned above and placed over hot coals.The goblin felt good, but Yura felt bad. In the first hour of lying in ambush, I painfully wanted to itch, in the second, it was no less painfully drawn to toss and turn. Mosquitoes and midges reconnoitered the

- And if you just give the crossbow? Yura murmured.- On the one hand, the possession of this crossbow is really a big hemorrhoids, - Genghis Khan nodded, - and on the other hand, incredible luck and a chance to get out of this world twenty years earlier. But in order to take advantage of this chance, you don’t have to “wait for the weather by the sea”, but take “hands in feet” and go, as these boobies say - swing.“But it doesn’t seem so bad here,” Zhenya said thoughtfully. “At least as long as the said Guardians are pleased with you.Genghis Khan shook his head.- You know, I envy you a little: the first ten years in this world are in many ways a happy time, albeit full of severe trials. But man is a complex creature, not only pain and suffering move us forward. With every year spent in this place, indescribable nostalgia, longing, longing for the place lying there ahead will grow stronger in you.

- Zheka, Chechens in the city! Gather brother!True, what does the philosopher have to do with it and where to take the mentioned lads, the gopnik did not specify.Genghis Khan sighed, snapped a cunning crossbow from his belt, put the weapon on the bed next to Tuen, and he himself took a free chair, of which there were several in the room, put it next to the bed, sat down and, raising his hand, waved to everyone:- Hi.Kolya, meanwhile, was blushing like cancer, realizing that he was slightly frostbitten.- Valuable advice "on the track", - Genghis Khan continued, - if the Guardians offer something, it is better to agree. But do not rush to do what is proposed according to their scenario: these guys will definitely try to drag you into the very ass. Try to work with your head and go to your goal in your own way. Which, of course, will not always succeed.What are martial skills? - Zhenya immediately clarified the information on the reward for the quest.Genghis Khan, without getting u

Your mother's time in this world is coming to an end.Guardians offer you a task:Reach Ozatorga in the company of the lost ones who will leave the city in the near future, and we, the Guardians, will ensure your meeting with your mother.The consequence accompanying the acceptance of the task is the acquisition of a special status, the temporary inclusion of lost souls in the system.1) Accept the task.2) Reject the job.**Of course, she should have consulted with her father, but Erita immediately realized that all this was superfluous, since she made her choice at the moment when she read the text to the end. Having experimented a little, she chose the desired menu item:**1) Accept the task.**In vain did the girl think that her misadventures were over, the event that happened a moment later divided her whole life into before and after.

Dietrich, having analyzed his part of the work, was frankly depressed. Since Paul and Genghis Khan got formidable, but, in fact, single targets, and his opponents "spread" over a very large area. Fortunately, this square was constantly squeezed by the city guard, but they also added new hemorrhoids - as if not to knock down someone outside and not to spoil valuable property.Without hindrance, passing the place of deployment of the defenders of the city, the German hurriedly walked out to the port facilities. Stopping in the middle of a dark port street, he assessed the situation. At the moment, the "front line" between the pirates and the defenders of the city passed in a place where hangars and warehouses tightly adjacent to each other ended and residential buildings began. The port was a semi-closed territory, into which several wide streets led, but at the same time, various small streets and lanes were completely absent. At night, guards were stationed at the exits of the port, w

Genghis Khan was rapidly approaching the western coast. Having parted with his comrades, he did not want to go down to the ground and was now moving towards his goal using exclusively the city roofs. In practice, jumping on tiles had two subtleties: first, it was necessary not to ruin the roof during repulsion, and second, it was necessary not to ruin it when landing. The one mentioned was bad. And the man consoled himself with the hope that for the sake of a great cause, a mountain of broken tiles would be forgiven him. Having shortened the path in this way and at the same time assessed the situation in the city, he very soon found himself on the coast.Here, standing by the embankment, Genghis Khan pulled back his sleeve from his wrist, revealing to the night an elegant silver bracelet covered with dense rows of reddish runes. Giving the artifact a mental command, he began to patiently peer into the darkness of the sea. Finally, the pirate ship snapped back with another salvo, revea

Fizruk disappeared. In his place, another, already middle-aged actor from a film about a sophisticated cannibal appeared, who ate other actors and especially loved gelatinous brains. And Yura was afraid of this actor.- Why not? The task of the Final Set is to help you get through the path to the end, to give strength that is inaccessible at the current level of development. Our meeting was not without fate, but if she drags you, then she only gives me strong advice, so don’t be arrogant. There was a place and commonality: it's funny - you and I are similar in a certain set of emanations, as a lion and a kitten are similar. And the last of the weighty ones - for some reason I wanted to play on the nerves of Vega and Zegero. Vega is the bearded man who gave the green light to your possession of the Fourth Treasure of Darkness. He and Zegero run the show here. Vega is nothing less than a galaxy, but not the one you think of. Zegero is the largest black hole in observable space. And a ra

- Good question, bad answer. Your shattered head will provoke her into attacking the blackbeard. She will snatch out a cunning stiletto that is hidden in her belt and try to drive twenty centimeters of death under the shoulder blade of the leader of the pirates. But, alas, the weight categories are too different: a short blow, and after the third bullet today. Trite, sad, but true.- Can I do something?!The "actor" thoughtfully touched his chin with his hand, and then issued:- And why, maybe it's better to go home, at the computer ...- How is it, home? Yura didn't understand.- Yes, it's very simple. Here you are, and here you are at home, celebrating your luck from the bow knocked out of the boss, lazily brushing off offers to sell it, or join a new community of players more worthy of you. What is it called, “flock” it seems, but no, in another way - “clan”. Well, what a mess in your Sharapov head, - and Kukuruz looked at the hitman with a look, as if he was going to sew a shirt f

Pondering the plan of action, Yura became despondent. The reason for despondency, as is often the case, lay in the details. First, the current fence turned out to be quite high, about the height of a man, and metal spiers stuck out on top of this fence, not very sharp, but a piece of hoodie can easily be left. Secondly, the road between the residence and the territory of the garden, in which the “guerrilla-scout” sat down, was very well lit. And now, carefully parting the branches of the bush, the young man clearly saw the bustle of armed men in the courtyard of the building he needed.“What did I get here at all! Although no, it’s clear what’s useful: it’s likely that Erita really has problems. The question is, how can I, a fool, solve these problems ... ”the hit man groaned to himself and began to think about how, if not to solve the problems, then at least not to produce new ones.Alas, the thinker did not generate anything worthwhile.

In a pant, another kilometer and a half flew by, during which it became clear that there was not so much left of the former Yura in him, at least bodily. He couldn’t run more than a kilometer before, and “run” is not quite the right word, “puff” was more suitable. However, the current Yura was far from the condition of a super hero, which is why he was incredibly out of breath.Suddenly, "the scenery changed" and the young man ended up in the area of posh mansions of wealthy citizens. The mansions were located in even rows, which were separated from the road by low bars. The road itself was illuminated by frequent, but not very bright gas lamps. A sort of holiday village of extra-class. And now, only two hundred meters separated from the beginning of the nobility district to the residence of the lord of the hitman. Just run a little forward, turn left and go out to the large ornate gates of the monastery of the local ruler. What Yura immediately decided to do. And he almost fell i
