- Can I help you? - came from the left quiet, but at the same time such a deep voice that goosebumps ran through my skin. I winced a little and looked around. In front of me stood a woman with white hair and dark blue eyes. Moreover, when I say white, it does not mean gray-haired. They are white with such a slight sheen of metal. And even if there are barely noticeable wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, I can’t turn my tongue to call her old. She looks to be thirty or thirty-five years old. Looks up. Dressed in a strict dark brown dress, reaching to the ankles, with a white lace collar and cuffs. - Ah, Tim is a magician, what helps the city? - Oh, yes, ma'am... - You can just Martha. I am the owner of the store. You don't see men very often. - Well, we usually wear clothes until the fabric starts to fray. She giggled. - Yeah, that's right, that's right. Even my husband, despite the fact that I am the owner of a clothing store, himself prefers not to change clothes until they a

"I'll think about the offer," I said evasively.- Like, you want to see if we are worthy to enter into a contract with you? – with a chuckle asked Mist. - No, well, you heard what?Those present guffawed along with the commander. I was embarrassed and looked at the others. In addition to this big guy, there are six more in the group. Three guys and three girls. Everyone has a different physique, everyone has different clothes and age.- It's okay for you to laugh. You can’t just take and join strangers, – I finally said.Don't be offended, I was just joking. Of course you are right. Okay, we must wait for the last little man and let's go.Are we waiting for someone else? I asked in surprise.- Yes.I was about to ask who they were waiting for, but then I heard footsteps behind me."Sorry, I'm late," a familiar voice said.I turned around sharply, in front of me in leather armor stood a girl with long red hair and bright green eyes. We stared at each other for a moment, and then sharpl

- Get ready. Tim, hit the joints, Osh and Tera, let's go.Fog and Tanchi stepped forward with their shields up. The golem seemed to feel them, there was a roar with notes of grinding metal, the monster quickened its pace. I created an ice block, threw it at the monster's shoulder. There was a crash, ice shards rained down on the steps, and the number 25 rose above the monster. Not twenty, because I have a magic damage modifier that increases it by a quarter. And still this is not enough. If the monster really has a thousand hit points, then I need fifty blocks of ice.Osh and Tera each fired a shot. The arrows struck at the burning green eyes, stuck, trembled slightly. Two numbers appeared above the monster's head at 18 and 14. Meanwhile, the Golem approached Tanchi and Fog. There were heavy blows on the guys' shields. Due to the fact that they are standing in front of me, it is impossible to hit the monster with a lump. The guys themselves delivered two blows to the joints, there was

- Tim, how are you? Tanchi asked, rising from the dead howl.- Fine. Only bruises remained.- Truth? He has pretty dangerous attacks.- And I have stone skin.“That’s it…” the guy drawled.I looked back. The rest of the monsters were also decided. Everyone is standing, breathing heavily, Aki has a small cut on his forehead. The fog pressed his hand to his side, but there was no blood visible, so it was just a bruise. Healers quickly fled to heal.I sat down on the floor. Krista suddenly approached, smiling embarrassedly, put her hands to her chest. I felt heat spread from the girl's fingers in different directions, the pain subsided."Thank you for protecting us," she said. - I was very scared.- Do not mention it. That's my job.- But thanks anyway.When the treatment was over, the group moved on. And soon she ran into monsters again and everything started anew. By the time we reached the opposite end of the hall, according to my estimates, they had killed almost six dozen howls, whi

Howl is killed, Howl is killed, Howl is killed… – the messages were full of them.Attention received knowledge - Howl. Experience gained for knowledge +50.Monster. Creation of chaos. Has 170 hit points.Attack type: pincer strike, 55 damage, effectiveness against A-1 armor is reduced by 90%. Has four claws for attacks, can deal damage simultaneously with all.I turned around. A huge stalagmite, crashing to the ground, buried under the rubble almost all the howls, leaving three that flew at the very end.“Now let’s talk,” I croaked, exhaling heavily.They swooped in at once, but I was ready and fired lightning at the first. Tentacles drummed on me, I should have run away, but I no longer have the strength. A green light enveloped me, and the lost hit points were restored. Meanwhile, arrows pierce the bodies of the howls one after another. After a while, the monsters were finished.I literally fell to the ground, wiping sweat off my forehead. Krista ran up to the left.- Tim, are you o

- Don't get in my way."Don't fall under my spell," I warned.She did not have time to answer, as a growl was heard ahead. We tensed at once, I noticed how Christa hurried to stand behind me.Appeared from the darkness. Dog? Wolf? I don't know what to call this creature. It is similar in build to a wolf, only larger in size, the muzzle is disproportionately huge, instead of wool there is red embossed shiny skin. The mouth is open, showing a row of teeth sharp as steel spikes. The creature has four eyes - two on each side, more like four cuts that open slightly and become visible green iris and pupils elongated like a snake. Xag moves on paws similar to lion's - the same massive with sharp claws. From his back, like the Howls, four long, sharp tentacles protrude, similar to the legs of a spider. It seems that xag can stand on them and walk.- Ready! – commanded Tanchi, threw away the torch, the sword pointed towards the monster.Chaos Hound abruptly, without warning, jumped towards the

Depths of darkness. Part 3- Christa, no! Aki rushed forward with a cry.This cry brought me out of my daze. I immediately threw an ice block at the monster. She punched the creature in the paw. She squealed, turned to me, fire flared in her eyes, and then an arrow hit one of them. Green blood spattered and ran down his muzzle.- She is still alive, we must quickly soak this creature! shouted Mist. - Pounce! Tanchi, come in from the other side, we'll clamp it.The boy nodded, grimacing at the pain in his torn chest, ran around the elite hound, raising his shield. The warriors cut at the same time, which indicates a long team work. Xag tried to answer, but at that moment, a heavy arrow fired from Osh's bow hit his chest, piercing the skin and sinking deep into the body. The beast roared and chose the archer as its target, but Aki and Weasel came from behind, delivered several quick blows. Their hands spattered with blood, the creature squealed, one of the hind legs twisted unnaturally,

- Yes, a metal breastplate. So attacks in the back are most relevant. Also, Tim, don't try to paralyze him. He has 50% status resistance, which means that the chance that you paralyze him is halved, as is the paralysis time. And in order to attack with lightning, you have to get closer and be within the attack radius of the cleaver. Even with stone skin, you might not survive the attack. And one more thing - he has resistance to fire magic, so use mostly ice.- Good. Understood.- Well, I sort of explained everything, you will understand the rest along the way. The main thing is to see how the others act,” said the Fog.“Uh-huh, unless some surprises start again,” Weasel muttered.The guildmaster's gaze turned grim.- Here you are right, today everything is going somehow wrong, not as usual. So just in case... run. Tim, I have a personal request for you. Look after Krista and Rox. You've already proven you can protect them and you have the magic you need, so take them away if you need

- 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.

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
