Chapter 25

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 15:47

The next day I didn't even sneeze.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 17:27

No, the infection does not stick to me, the thick layer of fat prevents it. Larna-chan was right to say - I'll be long enough in the cold mountains! By the way, what should I get her? A hoof file or horn polish? It's not that she doesn't take care of herself, but a girl should get gifts.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 17:30

"Boss?"

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 17:30

"What?"

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 17:30

I think it was the first time I fell asleep before Junior. And nothing, I woke up in one piece.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 17:48

"Yesterday I bought what you said - axes and machetes, a dozen staffs. What else do you need today?"

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 17:48

Judging by his shuffling, he had plans for tonight. Is he dragging Tomboy on a date again? What did Daddy say on such occasions? Oh, come on, he so young:

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 17:50

"I'll call you if I need anything. Maybe I'll spend the night in another world, I don't know yet."

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 17:50

What kind of things can a dummy do? Will he be celebrating his skill up? He got his trading up to level two yesterday, so there's a reason for that. I've got two big challenges today. First, since yesterday could not, will have to go to the dragon's lair in the morning. You never know, maybe I'll get through and take what I need, no problem... Or maybe I'll be brainwashed until the evening on the subject of "Family Honor and how not to lose it".

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 18:34

And the second is to solve the issue with the creators' orders. Take the skills from them, and then go back to the setting. That's anxious somehow, will not cheat mages? Or I overestimate the importance of the order? Maybe to hire guards? And of what, the adventurers against the mages will stand? Or ask the Trade Guild for guarantees? But they would probably ask for a share of the guards.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 18:47

Tomorrow I'll go to the umruns - should I take them all at once? Shall I take one of them out first? Yes, I suppose so. It's a long way. I'll take one out and then I'll begin to think how to take all of them. Perhaps I should really hire a convoy of adventurers?

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 18:48

Of course, it was worth making a plan, and it all went very wrong.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 18:48

Bleep.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 18:49

I had to look up what it was that called me. Another tab appeared in the Delivery app, with a single voicemail message without a return number. Something tightened in a knot in my belly, and I clicked "play".

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:51

+++Cloudy... I can feel the change. The wind says I'm going to leave home soon. I would have left long ago, but I have nowhere and no reason to go. I'm used to being here, waiting for something. It has come, this something. I know what it means, I remember those for whom it has come, and I want you to know that my only regret is that I could not grow a beautiful flower for you.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:52

I poked my finger again, missed, swore, poked again, and now the tab slid to the side, and when I swore and swiped back, there was no record. Message delivered, order closed.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:52

Well.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:52

Well-well.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:52

The wind, then. Well, there's a lot connected with it in Delivery, as I've managed to figure out. That is, the System tapped into what was said, it is unclear what it took in payment. The words of farewell were delivered to me... Screw you! Let her say it to my eyes, we'll see about that!

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:54

Bleep.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:54

This message was sent via private message through the forum: +Marius, we have a problem. Big demons are trying to break into the circle, small ones are attacking in groups. We don't waste dew, we need help!

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:58

Putting the phone down, I sighed. A train dilemma, huh? Dear System, your tentacle case?! One or a hundred-plus? The one who has been tormented for centuries or the one who still remembers how to be alive?

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:59

I put the phone in my pocket and started to pack. There was not much choice... Just ten minutes ago there was a great plan and everything is clear, no complications, just a lot of walking and talking. Everything is solvable! And now... whom to sacrifice? One might, of course, think "hey, nothing has happened yet, the problems have just begun!" Except I know where I work.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 07:00

The bag, loaded with gaffes, axes, and machetes, became noticeably heavier. The cape is fine, the rings are charged... ah yes. I reached into my bag and pulled a scroll out of my pocket. I thought it would come in handy as a test to see if Umruns could learn, but it turned out to be a quest item. You know, like in the games, when you carry some gaunt splinter from the sandbox, and then it turns out that it's the one that opens the Dragon's treasury.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 07:17

+Skill Scroll - Spear, 3 Lv.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 07:18

Contains the "spear" skill and the "Precision Strike" 3 Lv.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 07:19

From the description, it allowed me to strike a critical blow every two minutes exactly where I was aiming. Activator... It's like an anime, damn it. All right, that'll do. I could use anything right now.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 07:19

Study.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 07:19

The scroll scattered instantly disappeared ashes, that's it.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 07:20

It took me almost a minute to figure out how I'd changed. Then I took one of the staff out of my bag and tried it on. Well... ...mentally I know I couldn't do it before, but it was strange to realize it, because... what's so hard about it?

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 07:21

I swung the staff in my hands and made a few quick lunges in different directions, then tried it on, but after estimating what the "critical damage" to the wall might be, I decided not to take any chances. It was a strange feeling, to realize that just now I, like a fool, was not able to do such elementary things. It's easy!

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:32

I spit on the economy and ordered a cab. There was no way I was going to get away with one pole, not even if the umruns supported me, because a demon was the last thing I wanted to do in close combat. I've seen what happens when they claw me, which means I have to go to my grandfather.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:37

The cottage village was old, and academic, with high fences and large trees.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:37

Poke-poke.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:37

A branch creaked beneath me, and I clutched at the trunk with my hands while I looked around. So, two dogs on the porch, one in the grass, walking across the yard would kill me. They're going to start licking me. That would be all right, but they would whine and bark, and that's a shame. From here you can not see the first-floor window, put there an exit point is dangerous, there is little that hides in the depths, and the fourth dog is not observed.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:39

After running through the sequence of actions in my head, I sighed and began to act.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:39

Poke, poke - the exit is on the roof of the garage, the dogs jump up and wag their tails.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:40

"Have a good day!" I said, activating imperceptibility.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:41

Poke, poke, I'm in the house. Wow, what smells, it's clear right away that grandma came! Don't get distracted! Listen carefully.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:42

"Who is there?"

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:42

A voice from the second floor! The way was open - I forgot about the teleporter and on my toes, slipped quietly past the library, peeked into my grandfather's office as I went, then jumped up with a quiet squeal... The big white dog poked his cold nose into my side, as usual, managing to hit the only place not covered by clothes. I waved my fist at him, to which Faithful majestically paid no attention.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:43

"Marius, is it you?"

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:43

I'm not there!

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:43

Poke, poke... Here are the closets with the collection. Where is it? Yeah, here it is... I shoved the loot in my sinus and fluttered about. The grandfather had already managed to come down and judging by his footsteps was a few meters away!

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:46

"Marius Julius... Ugh, let me go! Ugh!"

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:46

I was saved by Faithful. He got up on his hind legs and put his front ones on my grandfather's shoulders. I saw the white wagging tail, but the venerable ancestor did not have time to take exactly one step to see me and catch me red-handed. And while the dog was licking his ward's cheeks I had time to aim. Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke... It was only outside that I exhaled. Yes, I'm certainly a bastard and a creep, but I do not have time for another conversation about the fate of the world and the duties of posterity. I'll save everybody and then I'll give up. Oh, what's in store for me for ruining the collection! How about buying back some rarities in the magical world?

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:49

My thoughts were confused by the adrenaline, but I somehow figured out that the trail could start from here.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:49

Deliveries app, forum, private messages... order conversion. Minute wait, confirmation rang and the text of the quest appeared: +Walk barefoot on the side of the road.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 09:50

With my sneakers in hand, I stood in the warm, sun-warm grass and took the first step toward trouble. Courageous and determined. After all, who doesn't want to be a hero!
