Urban drunk Patrick O'Grady is the weirdest NPC I've ever met, and Tristad, I suspect, is the weirdest sandbox. I remembered that it was this skinny, wrinkled and wrinkled face, non-player character of indeterminate age that rewarded me with a curse that was the first step toward "threat" status. Had the late Clayton, who ruled Dargo, had not taken pity on me then, it would have ended there, but this story began with a drunkard.

I was reminded of Behemoth's words that Jane was never Patrick's fiancée, he just messed up, forgot how to share reality with nonsense. And now the mention of The Third World War... Contrary to ominous predictions, it was the shortest in the history of mankind, with almost no nuclear weapons used. And mechs, that is, combat vehicles that move with the help of legs and are piloted by a person inside, were actively used in it.

However, I did not want to guess and find out the reasons right now. Spontaneous traders, judging by the extinguishing lights on the edge

    "Everything," Patrick raised his palms conciliatorily. - Sorry, I've been in the second hour like a drop in my mouth, and it's not easy! The pipes are burning, the throat is jerking... Okay, I'll survive. Listen, the fist fight teacher, Master Sagda, lives in the armory district. On the sign he has a fist painted red, you will not miss. By the way, he's waving his feet — give Nergal,, Sleeper, to everyone! What a mill! There, if you want, you will find the hunter Conrad. He is a master of the bow - with five hundred steps a squirrel in the eye, an arrow is planted! True, the night is in the yard, and it is unlikely that they will accept you, but you try your luck ...Patrick yawned widely, and looking at him, I also opened my mouth, covering it with my hand. The first day after the ban dragged on, and I didn't do anything.- You know what, small? Maybe tomorrow is better? My mentee suggested. "I will sleep, in the morning I will put myself in order, clean my armor, sharpen my sword, a

    Behind a short podium next to the elderly Cannon was The Warden of Cooper Prison. He whispered something in the judge's ear, and he said without further ado:- Guest of the city of Tristad Skif! You are accused of the premeditated murder of Tristad honorary citizen Patrick O'Grady. Do you have anything to say in your defense?- Bastard! Cooper shouted. - Bastard!- Silence indoors! The judge urged.As frail and sickly As Cannon might seem, his voice was thick and bassy. The judge shifted a demanding look at me:- Scythian?"I'm innocent, Mr. Judge. Mr. O'Grady wasn't killed by me.The judge bowed his head incredulously on his thin senile neck. Pursing his lips, he asked:Is there anyone who can confirm your words, the accused?"Apart from Patrick O'Grady and I and a killer named Atiyakari, there was no one around, Mr. Judge. But perhaps one of the residents...- Enough is enough! Chief Cooper roared. - Mr. Judge, let's not delay the verdict? The guest of Tristad, called Scythian, for

    "You see, Scythian, you will not be resurrected," Atiyakari said with a smirk.He said something else, but I didn't hear anything else. The thug disappeared into thin air, and after him the whole world disappeared. In a fleeting flash, the courtroom disappeared along with Judge Cannon and the warden of the prison Cooper, the guard disappeared with a resident of the Kali bottom embedded in the Nepiska nepiska ...At the same second, I realized that I was on Mokhovaya Street, a few blocks from Patrick's house. The drunkard himself overtook me a few steps and broadcast what I had already heard:— ... hence, he enlisted in the army. The recruiter, of course, was that tempter! Listen to it, it turned out that the war is all entertainment and pleasure: travel, girls, drinking and light, tireless jogging ...Not knowing what to think about all this, I caught up with him and turned my head. Everything was calm, only a drunken group of dwarves, staggering, barely moving on the other side of th

    "It's not worth it yet, keep it at home, Alex," Tissa said. - We are now trying not to wear anything expensive, they will take it off anyway. Even an epic has a 10% chance of falling out after death, not worth the risk. Moreover, as far as I remember, the thing is on the 20th level and in the near future will definitely not be useful to us.- So maybe sell then? If you need money, then...- No way! Tissa interrupted. - The 20th doesn't shine in the sandbox, but in the big Dis peppers will come in handy! They'll be very much into the topic for me and Ed!- Okay, as you say..."How are you, Alex?" How's your first day after the ban? Hang asked. Have you heard you talking to Big Poe?- Yes, he withdrew the claims. But he watches me, next to me - in inconspicuous - his guys are constantly spinning, sniffing out something. Yes, I didn't tell you about what was on Insta, and thank you for not doing that either."You don't hold us up for freaks!" Hang roared. "We knew what we were getting in

    So I got ten experience points for my honestly "learned" archery skill.Conrad then explained how the mechanism for using different arrows works. There were a lot of them in the game! For any sadistic taste: from freezing and igniting to arrows with a splitting tip inside the body, the material of which could also be different, for example, adamantite with an enchanted explosive warhead, and even with poison applied for a greater effect. But I could only dream about it so far.Do you want to learn how to wield a crossbow or shoot a gun? The hunter asked, finishing the lesson.- Uh... I think another time, I refused.Come back for new knowledge when you're ready. Good hunting, Scythian!As I walked away from him, I remembered Krawler's promised epic bow, but there was nothing in the mail. Moreover, there was not a single "dementor" in the game.I left the city by Deep Teleportation to break away from the Aximoah observers, and ended up in Mrakolesye. From there, I rushed northeast, beg

    Swinging, the elemental tried to drive me into the ground. The attack was as unexpected as it was futile. I even stood on my feet, but the mace fell apart into a thousand pieces.Thanks to the most powerful blow, the tank was filled by a quarter. I approached the elemental creature and imprinted the Hammer Fist into its stone knee, splashing the collected plague energy. The monster exploded and showered with clumps of dirt, clay and rock dust.You have damaged the Earth Elemental: 1,217.The elemental of the earth is dead.Someone noisily cleared my throat. The warriors were frozen with stone statues.- If the conversation is over, let's get started. I crunched my fingers. - Actually, it was extremely mean, shaman.- I agree. Old man, you acted dishonorably! Grog'khir cried out, turning indignantly to the "respected Ryg'har".- From him carries dead and evil power! The shaman remarked grumpily, unperturbed smoking the self-twist. Puffing with smelly smoke, he shrugged, "I see power in

    From the kobold camp, I headed straight for Mrakolesye. There, on the border with the mountain range, according to the quest, lurked ogre-cannibal - a special kind of intelligent race that plays an important role in the world. Cannibals lived as hermits and, because of their specific predilection, did not seek socialization. Moreover, they made no distinction between humans, elves, dwarves, dwarves, trolls, goblins and orcs in their diet.I went to the next point without a curse. By that time, the falling off flaps of skin and rotting flesh had become noticeable from afar, and it was not worth risking without a reason. Then the question occurred to me, what if I waited until the transformation was over? If you let the curse of the undead turn me into a full-fledged undead, will anything change? Or is it just visual special effects?I didn't have time to think about it, attacked by a rabid boar of the 8th level. The beast stuck its fangs into my fillet, and I spent a couple of seconds

    - I see! God interrupted me. "When you came for the first time, I took a cast of the weaves and did the same now. You've gotten stronger. Now you control the manifestation of the infection... Well, well, well... Strikingly! This is the primitive, crude, but effective magic of the flesh, multiplied by the infinity of the Abyss. And, unsurprisingly, she only works with aliens to this world like you. Any local curse would devour in a matter of days, transforming it into a thoughtless creature and completely subordinating it to the Plague Pestilence. But not you! Your natural capacity to regenerate is stronger than a curse...And if I lose that primitive ability, it's going to get a lot harder for me."You won't lose it," Hippopotamus said. "Rebuild the temple, and I will have enough strength to give you something like this.I'm not going to get there in the next three months, Sleeper.

    However, we did not manage to bite into it. Leach surrounded himself with an impenetrable veil of orange marev and howled long. The sound that announced the surroundings chilled the blood in my veins. The call was answered: the dead and skeletons crawled out of the ground, and in the forest a piercing banshee assured. Ed was wrong, the boss had add-ons.- Bom, take it away! Yew, join the boss for now! Krawler shouted. - You have extra damage to the undead! Scythian, what can you do?- Don't let the Bomb Truck get distracted, I'll take the adds on myself! Yissa, I'm not sick!I activated the curse of the undead again and ran in a spiral, pulling the dead onto myself. Levels 14-15, regular mobs, but a lot. I crushed the bones and punched the gaping holes in their bodies, tearing off the skulls of skeletons with a hammer and blowing the rotting flesh of zombies to shreds. The Cretes laid them down immediately, after the usual blows they had to finish them off, but I did not stop. A minut

    At the sight of Nagual, the guys were not confused. Killing the non-resisting "threat", they had to tinker, but the liquidation procedure went as it should. "I banish you from Disgardium forever!" exclaimed Hang pathetically, sticking a dagger into the heart of the dead Nagual in those few seconds before the corpse was yet incarnate.Crawler, Ed's new character, named after the endless crawling of caves and tunnels, received some money from the developers, an epic cape and a constant bonus of + 10% to the speed of gaining experience. But the involuntary preventions Infect and Bomb Carrier took bonuses more seriously: a folio of fire magic, a folio of light magic, ten thousand gold, a scalable epic sword and a similar dagger.As a result, this became the starting capital of the Dementora clan, which Tissa soon joined. Krawler became a fire mage, Tissa became a light mage, and the future classes of Infect and Bomb Carrier were affected by the epic blades divided between them.- Amazing

    - I don't understand why he's going to? Could have come to me, Crowler muttered as he followed the Bomb Truck. - Or to the guys, if you don't want to go to me."First of all, your grandmother doesn't love me," Tissa began to make excuses. - Secondly, her father will start calling her first, as she did that time. Thirdly, Malik has a full house of relatives, and in such bedlam only people like Infect can survive. Hang, by the way, is no better, only the still smelly spices all smelly!- Easier, Sister! Bomb Truck rebuked. - When you devoured dim sum and pork in honey sauce, something I did not hear from you such complaints!"Oh well, you," Tissa shrugged off. "And most importantly, I have already promised Alex's parents that I will return. Uncle Mark wanted to talk about Dis, and Aunt Helen said she would cook a special dinner and an abyss of stories about the little Sheppard.

    - A lot, Mr. Whitaker. The fight was not easy.- Oh, believe me, I have the information. It is no coincidence that the reward has been waiting for its heroes for so long! But let me conclude, as I said, I am in a hurry, and I still have another briefing with the guests who first came to Tristad. Take the reward for the ogre man-eater. He spoiled the nerves of our farmers and collectors of unusual healing herbs, which, as luck would have it, grow only in those parts where Wat'al fished.The bags evaporated from the palm of my hand as soon as I poured the gold coins into my backpack. I've never felt so rich here or in the real world."Thank you very much for participating in the life of the city, Scythian," the adviser said goodbye. - Keep up the good work, and I'll find you more entertaining if you're interested in becoming even more useful.At the entrance to the building, "dementors" were already waiting for me.

    "You're as adventurous as your father," mom liked to say. - If you are seriously interested in something, then you give yourself to it with your head and for a long time ... until the next hobby."Now I'm very interested in Dysgardium. Enthusiasm and courage were superimposed on the anger of Wesley Chow's cheeky behavior, multiplied by an innate heightened sense of justice, warmth felt for the "dementors", and affection for Tisza. But still, before letting my heart make a decision, I calculated everything. At least, I tried, based on the available data and logical conclusions.What I had in mind about big po was based on a lot of "ifs." Too big. For success, many factors must converge, and some of them were so far only hypotheses. Nevertheless, the idea of competing with the Axiom was breathtaking.After school, Tisza and I flew to the guys at the regional hospital. We met in a park full of centuries-old oak trees, on a serene alley by the fountain, which, unfortunately, did not work

    - Possibly."Have you been with them?"- The thing is, no! Tissa said as if she could have prevented the attack. "They flew alone because my father took me. Above the dump, their flyer suddenly went off the route and landed.- How so?- Manual control was blocked, and someone intercepted the automatic control... Alex, these are either free or those who reflashed the chip, because if they can seize control of the flyer, these are definitely not ordinary bullies!Her words stunned me. Where there is automation, there will always be vulnerabilities and hackers who are ready to crack it, but in ordinary life rarely anyone has encountered this. The network is now much more transparent than in the early years of development, and complete anonymity has become something unattainable. All commes, both integrated into the body and external, were personified and were tied only to their owner. Without a comm, you will not go online, an unauthorized attempt at the same time will be stopped!The Vi

She marveled. - No, what are you! Rey barely broke up with her boyfriend, and they just met Chris today!While Rita got distracted, answering someone's question, the blonde Croaker touched my sleeve:"Hey Alex, can we dance?"The girl seemed pretty to me, and I saw no reason to refuse. But I didn't have time to answer."Krya, can I take you for a minute?" Leaning back in her chair, Rita asked sneakily.The girls moved away, talked about something, and Rita Wood came back alone."The mallard suddenly needed to come out," she said. - So I'll replace it.- Uh... will you replace in what?
