The accumulation of Spirits made the air so dense that it seemed impossible to breathe. The spirits picked up Shilopopa and me and practically carried us towards the opened gorge. I felt that I was in some kind of fog, and the eyes of my companion, on the contrary, burned with excitement.- Really, great? she asked me. “Moments like this are what I play for.I smiled at her."Where to now, Guide?"Before that, we walked as if in a cloud, and could only see each other and the path two meters in front of us. Now the space in front of us has cleared, as if we had entered a clearing covered with a perfectly even - blade of grass to blade of grass - carpet of greenery. In the middle of the clearing stood a fairly large hut, at one glance at which the word “wigwam” that didn’t tell me anything popped up in my head from somewhere. Shilopopaya let go of my hand and went to the entrance to throw aside the skin covering it, at least a mammoth. I made a clumsy attempt to get her ahead of me, but

"Greetings, Harbinger!" The Supreme Spirits hovered over me. Have you come to ask your question?“No, Supreme,” I bowed. “Just pay your respects.“Even though you don’t have a question,” the Underworld Spirit said in a completely unsolemn tone, “we will answer you anyway.” If you want to see , there is absolutely no point in climbing so high into the Astral. A couple of levels below is quite suitable for this.A pillar of white light appeared next to me.— Tavia? I asked.- Well, you're worried! Flute said angrily. - Everywhere you see your princesses! Is that you, Mahan? she suddenly remembered. Indeed, I somehow had no doubt that I looked human, but it seems that I, like the Spirit of the Flute, now look like a pillar of light.“Greetings, Supreme,” she addressed the Spirits.“And hello to you, future Harbinger!” they responded kindly."Flute," I called. - We are not here, but a couple of levels below.In a couple of days we already confidently sent our Spirits to any Astral level a

“Hi,” I said into the communicator as I got out of the pod and dialed a number.“It's good that you called me,” Eve breathed with relief, barely hearing my voice. “I have problems,” I didn’t really doubt it.“Hope you just got fired from your job and need a referral,” I said.“If only,” her voice sounded sad. - It's really bad. Can we talk face to face?- Easily. Where?The doorbell rang.“Open the door for me, please,” she asked.I went to the hallway. She immediately hung around my neck, burying her nose in my shoulder as soon as she entered. I gently held her by the waist, closing the door, and felt that she was trembling all over.- Are you impatient? I asked, and I felt her smile.“And you have changed,” she said.- Better or worse? I asked.- I do not know. More arrogant."Come on," I disagreed. - If I were arrogant, I would hold you not by the waist, but a little lower.- Not now! she shook her head.This gave me great hope. Not now means later. Maybe…What happened, Yvette? I

She seemed to immediately launch a program that, through a chain of Mimics, was supposed to track the destination of network packets and compile a list. I turned Eva towards me:- Everything will be fine."I don't doubt it at all," she nodded.“But you still worry,” I said.“This is our share,” she shrugged."If they don't make it, I'll go with you," I said.“No,” she replied. - You can ruin everything.“I won’t let you go alone,” I said. “You can curse me forever, but you won’t go alone.“Well, why are you…” she looked into my eyes, looked down and nodded. - Good. Let it be. You will go with me.“I’m actually against it,” Pavel interjected into our conversation. “We need to send a qualified fighter.“I can turn off the constipation from the inside, but you can’t,” I protested.All he had to do was throw up his hands.An hour later, in three cars, we moved to the country residence of the villain. Pavel insisted that we both put on armored suits of concealed carry.“Listen,” he said to

I suddenly saw myself from the outside. I break like a red girl.“Sorry,” I said. “I'm acting disgusting and I don't know why.“I know,” she replied. Because I behaved disgustingly.- Yes, - I chuckled, - let's arrange a competition, who behaved more disgustingly.A small black VIP bus stopped at the sidewalk. The doors of the Corporation building opened, and one of Pavel's employees came out and held the door for Eve's family, who were leaving after them. Sabina moved to her father, and Irma came up to us.- Dima, could you keep us company? she asked.“I'm not sure,” I smiled, pulling the legs of my shorts to the sides.Well, at least one of Pavel's fighters borrowed a T-shirt. Lilac and tight. Probably, Alexandra tore herself away.“What nonsense,” she exclaimed. - I ask you to!Without waiting for an answer, she grabbed my elbow and pulled me towards the car. I offered a second elbow to Eva and followed Irma. On the bus I met Ivan, the father of the family. He miraculously managed

- And you went for it? the investigator asked.“He wouldn’t kill her,” the interrogated shrugged.“Here, scum,” I repeated.“I didn’t tell you about the viper for nothing ...” Pavel replied.- I tried to tell him that working with people is not my profile, but he objected to me that Foma would do everything that was needed ... - continued the detainee.- Who is this? the investigator stopped him.“This is the driver of the van where I was at the time of the arrest,” he explained.“Understood…” the investigator nodded.“Tamerkhanov said that Foma repeatedly supplied him with ...,” said the interrogated.- Minors? the investigator suggested.“Yes,” the detainee nodded. “Just kidnapped on the street. Tamerkhanov gave us the task to kidnap the girl and roll her around the city. I had to secure a two-way connection between his communicator and Thomas' communicator.- Did you know why? the investigator asked.“Yes, he explained it to me,” the suspect replied. - If the police came to him, he

— I hope I managed to please you a little, Shaman?"I'm always glad to see you, Elune," I nodded. “You yourself know.“I know,” she agreed. “But I would like you to say the same to my face.“I hope, goddess, that this moment will come, and it will be the happiest in my life,” I said.“He will come,” she confirmed. “Since you are my knight, you will certainly come!”She fell silent, and I did not know how to start a conversation.What about the weather in your sky? I asked, picking at the ground with the toe of my boot. — The Astral is not very stormy?— What did you want, Mahan? Elune asked.“Your help,” I replied.- Ahaha! she laughed. - And I was hoping that you wanted to show me the dawn!Dawn? It's noon now. A-ha-ha, joker, what hints at!“This concerns the battle with Geranica,” I said.Something changed in the air, and without even looking at the goddess, I realized that she had stopped smiling."You're not doing well," she sighed. "You don't..." She turned away, her voice tremb

Fortunately, when diving on the ship, the player could safely leave Barliona, provided that someone was controlling the ship - the deck of the ship in this case was equated to a piece of land, but it was not recommended to place the anchor point on the ship - the ship sent to the bottom, of course, dragged the anchor point with him. Of course, after several dozen rebirths, the Guardian of the Sea pulled back the snobby traveler from the trap, but all this was accompanied by the loss of precious experience or even levels.Some more gold was added to my account, and once again I was glad that I had guessed to send the pirates ahead of the main group - everything from the marauding players would drip into the raid piggy bank for subsequent redistribution, and the pirates cooperated personally with me, more precisely, with the clan, and which means that the buns also went not to the raid, but to the clan. I once again checked the correctness of the course set for the ship and exited the g
