Chapter Seven. “Shazal” Treatise

“MIZARDINE, YOUR TASK will be the most important one.” I plopped a stack of scrolls with the “Templar’s Blow” on the table. “You are the only one who can save us today. Do you know how to dig?”

The hunter looked from the scrolls to me in bewilderment, not understanding my drift.

“The Necromancers will return in the evening in force, and mad to boot. I have found out that they always appear on the hill. Yesterday the big guys scattered everybody, and only after that did they let loose their dead troops. Most likely the same thing will happen today. From the hill it’s the simplest path to send the undead to the tent city. So let’s prepare a “Tsar Bomba” for them.

Now Alard, who had come back at dawn, stared at me questioningly as well. Finding out about the inglorious demise of the necromancers, the orc had cheered up considerably, and was helping me in every way to plan the destruction of the enemy. Even though I found it difficult to consider propositions along the lines of “let’s meet the enemies head on and kill them honorably”, phrased in various ways, to be help.

In a few words I described the explosion of the most powerful bomb in the entire history of humanity. Alard misunderstood my idea, furrowed his brow and objected:

“This explosion will destroy everything. The necromancers, us and the estate. There is no honor in such victory.”

“I agree! The victory that is won easily is not worth much,” I grinned. “And that’s why we’ll do something completely different. So, Mizardine, do you know how to dig?”

The hunter nodded reluctantly.

“Great! Take this shovel, take the scrolls and get yourself to the hill. Bury the scrolls, all of them, near the area where the necromancers appear, within a meter of each other, and conceal the trap. The whole hill must be covered in these little presents! Thinking about returning, blasted boneheads… Now do you understand?”

The hunter beamed, grabbed his work tools and rushed to fulfill my directive.

“So he did turn out to be useful after all.” I looked after Mizardine and turned to Alard. “Wait for me here, and set up your tracker. We’ll start the search today.”

“Did you find something?” The orc drew himself up.

“I don’t know yet,” I said contemplatively, went out into the hallway and caught a servant who was running by.

“Take me to Madame Sophie. I have an appointment.”

In a couple of minutes I was standing in the reception hall, where yet another party was in full swing. Ervan was true to himself, having brought in the players in the morning. Sophie was appearing here and there among the guests, settling minor troubles and preventing catastrophes.

“Monsieur Yaropolk, I am not…” the hostess started fearfully as soon as she saw me next to her.

“Here you are, you blackguard!” Enraged, Ervan jumped out of nowhere instantly between Sophie and me like a jack-in-a-box. He did not even let his wife finish the sentence. Pointing his finger at me, he came so close that I could feel the stench of his breath.
