FAULT ; ARTIFACT chapter 139
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. Scales immediately

“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

The lord sighed, left the cabinet with documents and two men went to the exit from the office. Erita's father closed the door behind him, which exactly matched the color and texture of the wall. As soon as the door closed, it merged with the wall as a single surface. People unfamiliar with the residence will have to seriously rack their brains before they find the entrance to the office of the ruler of Mitung.Further, it took the two of them quite a bit of time to find themselves in the spacious hall of the residence. Eritha, the wife of the lord with her sons, two men from the night shift of guards and several women of the servants were already gathered here. The rest of the workers left the residence for the night, so there were not many people, with the exception of the guards.The lord nodded to his wife, and the crowd moved towards the massive wooden doors, preparing to leave the building.Arthur tensed. His ears picked up a faint sound. That unpleasant knock with which the cros
