"Loyne, hi. How's it going?" The blacksmith turned to me and waved. He waved back at me, noting the slight "cardboardness" of his movements. "Ready to copy?:

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:11

"Uh... hi! Look, here's the situation..."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:12

Bad beginning.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:12

"You're a rookie selling a driver's map? "The voice from behind was soft, but it was threatening. Or is it just imagination?

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:14

I turned and looked around at the man speaking. A half-elf in chainmail armor, with a guild cloak over it, and a long dagger on his belt. It was unclear what class he had. But he's at a higher level than I am.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:17

"Hello. If you're interested in the map, you'll have to wait. I promised a copy to a friend of mine."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:17

"I know. But we already had an agreement. Didn't we?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:23

Loyne immediately backed him up:

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:23

"That's right, friend! I'll get it tomorrow, and the armor is ready, here." The shopping menu flashed, and I was offered a full set of armor.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:24

I need to clarify something.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:27

"I don't mind if you agreed, but the deal was - smith first."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:27

"He conceded his right. Moreover, your elf-buddy also conceded, and tomorrow my co-guilder will come for a copy."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:29

"And the day after tomorrow?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:29

"And the day after that. And for another ten days."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:36

"It won't work."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:36

The half-elf frowned. Judging by the rendering of his emotions, he was using a helmet like mine.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:38

"Paladin, you don't understand. My clan needs this map, and I won't let you copy it freely, even if..."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:39

"Hello, over! You don't suppose that I might have things to do in real life, and I can't log in every day?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:39

The half-elf calmed down and immediately smiled.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:40

"No problem! You put me on your friend list and copy the map when you show up."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:41

"It won't work. I took a vow not to reveal the name until the hundredth level."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:41

"Stop being silly! I need that map. If you send it to someone, you can delete the char, you're not going out of town!"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:43

I hummed and called up the settings for the general channels.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:43

"For sale, a personal map from the first to the hundredth levels. Complete information on three dozen dungeons, all known quests, and monsters! Ten gold! Signing up for a copy queue!"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:49

'You dare!" The guildmate held back a scolding. And let him swear, anyway, you can't kill a player in the city... without his consent.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:50

"I dare. Do you still want to threaten me? So I'll throw the map to the first person I see, and in a week half the city will have it." I tried to smile charmingly. Already in the crowd could be heard shouting, Who's selling the map? I'll buy it! "But there was another way out."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:51

The half-elf, who had lost his smile somewhere, looked at me with a frown.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:56

"And what is it? We only accept members into the guild on the recommendation of two members."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:56

"I don't need your guild..." I tried to say it in a way that made it clear I had my own.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:56

"I see. So, a guild paladin?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 19:57

"I am no one's paladin. I'm my own. Will you listen?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:00

"So?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:00

I raised my hand and began to curl my fingers:

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:07

"One, you owe me a five-slot belt and a purchase of armor from the smith," I said, nodding at Loyne, who had been standing quietly at the side the whole time. "Second, have you given the money to the elf yet?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:08

The Guilder nodded.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:09

"Good. So you'll drag him and the blacksmith through the raid you're arranging for the newbies. That's two."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:09

"Wait, what raid?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:14

He kind of slowpoke. I switched back to the shopping channel.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:15

"Friends! The map and all the rights to it have been purchased by the guild..." I looked questioningly at the half-elf.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:15

"Flame of Anor."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:16

"...by the Flame of Anor guild! By the sale agreement, the guild will hold two introductory raids for newbies! You can sign up for the raid at the guild house! At the end of the raid, a gift will be given to the most active raider. Hurry up, there aren't enough places!"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:17

The half-elf cursed.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:17

"Exactly. The most active will be, you know, who? Third, I give you my word that in this city I will not copy the map to anyone but you and the blacksmith. To him, I promised."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:22

"And I'm supposed to believe you?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:23

With a shrug, I made my argument:

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:23

"I am a paladin of Amala the Healer. I must keep my word."

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:45

The guilder looked at me skeptically, and the guilder chuckled.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:46

"Are you an idiot?"

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:46

Now I'm the one who snickered.

Camrad_RIP 09.09.22 в 20:50
