“I would quit,” I agreed. - But that's why I'm Loch!"Wait," said Dimitri. “I understand that you can move between Earth and Barliona, right?”“Yes,” I replied."And you can move from there ?" - he asked.“Most likely,” I said. “Until we get there, we won’t be able to tell for sure…”— And the rest? Valentine asked.“I don’t know either,” I admitted. — So far, it has been experimentally established that a person who wants to get the ability to move between worlds a) must be in love with the Creator b) the Creator must be in love with the applicant and c) there must be physical contact of a romantic nature between them.“And the Creator is you,” Dmitry explained to himself.Peter neighed indecently, pointing his finger at me.— What are you? I asked.“Ha ha,” he said. “Physical contact of a romantic nature!” This is what I imagined in colors!“I agree,” Valentine said."Me too," the others said almost in unison.— Contact? I was horrified.Where am I?! Solid Achtungs around!!!"Adventu

I looked back. Putting her hand to her forehead, Shilopopaya sank to the ground. I shook my head and put Alimalina on my shoulder. Then he went up to Shilopopoy, with the help of the Spirit, lifted her up and put her on the second floor, patting her ass reassuringly. Evelina and Flute pouted and crossed their arms over their chests. That's, that's why too many girlfriends is a problem! Well, all right, I’ll put these on the same shoulders in two floors, but what will I do when Elune shows up?The laughter of the Goddess clearly rang in the air. Shilopopaya reluctantly got down.- Well, then mind I'm the first when you put Alimalina on her feet! she said.A giant thorn suddenly pierced the ground very close to us.— The Ivy has woken up! I guessed. - Let's run!And we galloped across this ditched surface, dodging the thorns of Jealous Ivy, who mistook us for carpenter bugs and now tried to destroy us with precision blows. We ran for quite some time, and Evelina was the first to run out

Everyone apnulis, and our "nubohs" - most of all, especially since they managed to thresh enough hits. The girls looked at me with interest, and I showed them the stats of the Egg. I seem to have some kind of pet in every adventure - at least open a zoo. But where is the legendary loot? The mother hornet turned into an Egg, and the “understudy” and the Hornets, in addition to the flasks with Health and Mana, left nothing behind ... We walked another fifty meters, and around the corner turned out to be a not very large hall in which there were five chests - according to the number of participants in the raid. Above one was an icon with two crossed swords, above another a bow with arrows, two more were crowned with clouds depicting Spirits, and above the last the head of a Dragon breathed fire. We parted ways, collecting booty.In mine, I found several scrolls for legendary Skills that I didn’t even bother to look at, and scalable Dragon armor, which itself was put into a bag and put ba

I glanced at her.“Elune granted you forgiveness,” I reminded her.“Like it depends on her.” She shook her head.“It will pass,” I promised.“Perhaps,” Anastaria replied. But you won't be anymore...“It will, but not for you,” I said, just in case. In order not to jinx it."[Flute] Are you okay?"Oh yes, we created a raid before the holiday ... She looked at me questioningly from a distance of about a hundred meters. I smiled back and she started dancing again. Anastaria was no longer around. Plinto stood in her place, his mouth swollen to his ears.“What a nice transformation,” I said.- Boss, what are you doing? He pulled back, just in case, but didn't stop smiling.“Nothing,” I shook my head. “Anastaria was just here.- Oh, women! said Plinto, frustrated. - And my friend is with her, you know?“Well, yes, you told me,” I remembered.“She pestered me at one time, they say, what kind of bastard is your boss,” he grinned. - He seduced and abandoned the girl, and now she is suffering .

Those who passed the test were informed about this, and a week ago they began to invite on board. Adults without fail - I completely agreed with this proposal of the Ancients - were implanted with a symbiont, and if desired, they could be picked up at any moment by the same "transport beam" - it was enough just to think about it. For children under eighteen, the symbiont was strictly contraindicated, and they and their parents were taken away by the flyers of the Ancients, disguised as ordinary terrestrial flying taxis. However, so far there has been no rush - and indeed, Darius did everything very thoroughly, without rush jobs and panic, so that there would be no situations like “mom, let's go back, I forgot my favorite teddy bear at home!”At some point, Darius invited my girls to visit the Shamrock, which was already ready to receive passengers - Darius preferred to say "colonists", clearly trying to shift the entire burden of responsibility for the expedition onto me - and we move

“Are we unable to offer them anything?” he asked in bewilderment.“Already offered,” I nodded. - And this proposal can be considered the first contribution to good neighborly relations.Do you mean Barliona? - he asked.“Yes, Barliona,” I confirmed. “Just not quite in the way you understand it."Then tell me," he invited again.“When Elune was locked up in Barliona…” I began, and I noticed how the interlocutor grimaced. Well, yes, I mentioned supernatural powers again. “Sergei, it is high time for you to understand that Elune is indeed a higher being and that she is as real as the world around us. The fact that it was our technology that made it possible to make an incredibly gigantic leap, the results of which amazed even the Ancients, is a matter of pride.“Good, good,” he hastened to agree, already knowing that I was ready to extol my beloved for hours. All loved ones. “You are right, I really should sometimes cast aside the cynicism that has ingrained in the pores of the skin in o

- Sorry, what? I asked when I heard my name."My granddaughter said she loves our glorious new flying tradition," Darius repeated, smiling.“I just noticed that Dima had a great idea,” Atossa objected. - But only.“And I, as the only captain and, accordingly, the admiral of our entire fleet, immediately decided to declare this a tradition,” he chuckled good-naturedly.- Despot! Atossa growled caustically.“Technically, I'm only an admiral,” Darius objected, “and the despot is sitting over there surrounded by his flower garden,” and he bowed his head politely.- A vile slander, - I answered, - I did not tyrannize anyone at all and did not despot ...“If you start arguing, then instead of enjoying the view of Jupiter, you will receive honors from the subjects in turn,” he promised. “And I’m not sure that everyone will agree to kissing only the hand.”I shuddered, suddenly realizing that everyone without exception, both the crew and the passengers, was looking at me. And something bad wa

The message only meant that no one on the planet uses electromagnetic waves to exchange messages, and that's all - but with a high probability there is no civilization here "Increased levels of carbon dioxide Increased nitrogen content Increased content of methane Evolved flora discovered Fauna discovered» Not quite the right atmosphere - it's not scary. At least for Elune, there is no such problem, which means that the atmosphere will be as it should be. Several shot probes reached the surface, and the ship's broadcast flashed with images of the species encountered - a couple of species of herbivores, several predators, a rich set of birds, various fish, reptiles and of course thousands of species of insects ... A complete set, in general - on many planets there is none. Some of them may even be intelligent, but we won't know that until the troops land. In the meantime, we are not convinced of the absence of intelligence on the planet, we cannot touch it ... - How beautiful! Al
