Kolya grimaced, sighed, grimaced once more and, closing his eyes, thrust his hands into the mass of quivering darkness.- "Japanese in the city", she keeps me! he groaned frightenedly at the philosopher.- Yes, do not twitch, this thing, by the way, is difficult to keep active.Suddenly, the stain confidently crawled up the wall, inexorably pulling the gopnik along with it.- Ah-ah-ah-ah, it drags me! "Police!"- It's not it that drags you, but I drag you, - Zhenya, covered with perspiration, grunted from tension.Kolya no longer hung on the wall, but hung from the ceiling. The dark mass smoothly crawled up to the ceiling, firmly holding his hands, which is why the gopnik, kicking his legs, dangled like a pendulum.“Cancel, get ready,” commanded the philosopher."Blot" let go of the hands of the hanging one and silently soaked into the ceiling. Freed, Kolya fell to the edge of the platform, almost losing his balance and not flopping into the water.- Scary, blah! You warn me before yo

With one hand, Kolya held on to the elbow of a beautiful lady, and with the other he felt her very good breasts. And everything would be fine, but the chest was wooden. A whole whirlpool of thoughts was spinning in the head of the hitman, from which an understanding quickly formed of why he was not yet in the water.All conceivable and inconceivable luck of the gopnik should have ended a minute ago, when the ship was shaken by the core of a long-range coastal gun. After Zhenin's blow, the "blot" treacherously disappeared. Here the saboteur was supposed to flop into the water with a 120% chance. But he did not flopped, as some force firmly glued him to the board, after which his hands in panicked waving were able to get a grip on the elaborately carved human figures. And Kolya did not like this power, because even through the shock and panic he felt something frightening, dark. Something that suddenly enveloped him and glued it to the surface of the ship with deadly cold tentacles."Sw

A chill ran down his back, the gopnik felt the door behind him silently swung open. And feeling it, he began to turn around. Here the body makes a turn, the eyes catch in the dim light of the doorway the blurry silhouette of a man, and it is strange that this silhouette literally materializes out of thin air. From what he saw, the face wants to express surprise, and the mind wants to give the hand a command to grab the dagger, but how slowly everything is! Deadly slow...Later, Kolya thought a lot about why the "Shadow Protection" did not work and came to the conclusion that the magic was simply spent, it would not be possible for her to protect him forever. Right now, he felt an incomprehensible confusion, followed by a sharp pain in his heart. Eyes lowered and saw the dark line of a sword blade that dug into his chest. But the gopnik did not have time to be upset by this fact, what he saw and the pain gave rise to a strange thought:"It doesn't seem to hurt much..."But immediately,

Putting out the lighter, the gopnik quietly climbed the stairs and, arching his neck, put his ear to the hatch. The hearing aid caught a lot of sounds, but they all seemed to refer to anything but what was happening on the other side of the obstacle. He lightly pressed the hatch and it rose a little, but the man did not open it completely yet.After a little thought, Kolya quickly went downstairs, opened one of the boxes that stood higher and set the lighter to lick the wall of one of the barrels with flame. Then he closed the lid, which plunged the world around him into pitch darkness and began to feel his way to the stairs.Casting aside doubts and preparing for the worst, the hitman pushed the hatch up. What was waiting for him at the top surprised both with its logic and complete surprise. Having comprehended what he saw, Kolya, worried and almost forgetting about the need not to make noise, rushed back to the arsenal. Puffing, he fumbled for the right rack and threw back the lid

Black observer: - Definitely to the bottom ...White Observer: - I'm against it, but business, business, so it's not up to you.**After that, Kolya, having managed to walk with his signature waddling gait six meters from the bedroom door to the hatch to the arsenal, began deftly going down the stairs. Setting the lighter to lick the side of the new barrel, he hurried up the stairs and, closing the hatch, rushed to the window.Without ceremony, he slammed the sole of his boot into the dense fabric and the window frame behind it, and ... and his foot rested against something! Kick, another kick! The gopnik rushed in panic to the closet, grabbed an ax from the rack and slashed at the window with it, tearing off the fabric and crushing the remains of the frame.- M-l-i-i-i-i-i-i-i! A cry of despair and hopelessness escaped from his chest.The window was securely closed with thick metal bars, and in order to get free, it was necessary to get rid of at least two of them.

“No, this is complete idiocy, how can this even be ?!” Yura lay on the bed and thought. He tried to get the conversation that excited him out of his head, but it did not work out: what he heard during the meeting with Eritha did not want to leave his mind. “No, this cannot be, some kind of nonsense!” repeated the young man in a silent exclamation. Almost a week has passed since the remarkable dinner. And Yura really found out what the daughter of the local lord was fond of. But in the matter of rapprochement, the knowledge gained did not help much, since the former gamer was rather weak in magic, fencing and horseback riding. “Maybe she messed up something?!” But there was no one to answer this question, and Yura decided to switch his thoughts to topics that were less disturbing to the mind. “No, well, it’s still incomprehensible to the mind!” - the internal monologue broke into a new exclamation. Yes, he was seventeen years old - the age when serious topics do not linger in the

***“No, well, this must be thrown out! “Questik” was given to him, you see ... ”- Marina fumed to herself, hurrying to the north-west of the city. There, where the mansions of wealthy citizens flaunted with rich decoration.She was not a stupid girl and perfectly understood where the “hero-lover” went.The root of her indignation lay not in the genre of unrequited love, which was supposed to be the law. She wasn't there and that's it. Marina was just a very kind and sympathetic girl and frankly worried about her friend. At the same time, the novice healer did not realize the seriousness of the situation: well, something is thumping in the port and thumping, let the locals figure it out, and she just runs away to the area of the nobility, to make sure that Yura is all right and nothing more.For the reason mentioned above, as soon as Yura left, the girl went up to the women's bedroom and put on chain mail, which immediately turned into a brilliant candle. In order to hide the unwant

But the pirates could not think long about what they saw: Adya gave vent to anger. The staff rose and briefly struck the pavement stone. One time, lightly. And this time, the woman put something other than physical impact into the blow.A moment and a circle of thirty meters in diameter was filled with internal movement. The border of the effect began at the feet of the Mongol woman, and ended behind the backs of the pirates who shot at her. Dust, pebbles, all sorts of rubbish and the bodies of five bandits at the same time, were thrown into the air. Houses that fell into the area of effect of magic spat out the glass of their windows onto the pavement. The magic attack did not touch Adyau and Marina in any way. The robbers who fell under the influence of magic fell to the ground and froze limply, like puppets with cut threads.Marina, however, was not touched by what was happening: huddling into a ball, she whimpered softly from the fear that had bound her.Adya approached Marina a

- 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

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
