Chapter 1
My name is Anna and I woke up. But where am I? I remember falling asleep in my bed. And not alone. With magician Arthur. He promised to show the focus. And showed and not alone in bed. He even gave me a ring, which he inherited from his grandmother, the countess or the princess, it doesnt matter, I didnt listen. He had good tricks. Sleight of hand and sleight of foot, skillful tongue. He skillfully took me as he wanted and I liked it.
I looked around. What is this village? Wooden houses and straw roofs. Such a terrible wilderness. More than once in my life I woke up like this, I dont understand where. Yesterday they drank only one bottle of cognac with him. Im getting old. Although after one I sent him to the store for a supplement. And then what happened, I dont remember. Maybe she drank more. And not just wine.
How are you girl? You are beautiful Said the knight in golden armor. White-haired and blue-eyed.
Im alright. I just lay down to rest after yesterday. I took his hand and stood up. Im wearing a light dress. Strange, yesterday I went naked in my apartment. And I didnt buy such a dress, its too frank, Im not like that. I have principles, well, I used to have them. «I dont know how I got here?
You are an angel that came down from heaven. If you do not mind, I will be your intercessor on sinful earth. And Ill take you where you say. I am captivated by your beauty. I swear to serve you as long as your intentions are as pure as your appearance. He kissed my hand. «You are supposed to know nothing about this world. The angels descend sinless and with no memory of their past life. Not like these aliens from other worlds that we hunt. Lucky I found you first, and not the Drifter hunters, as we call them here.
I really dont remember anything. I dont want to fall into the hands of these hunters, whoever they are, maybe local bandits, but this peasant with a magnificent mustache seems normal. Maybe there are some roleplayers having their gathering nearby. Once I was a queen there, then I gave one king with a crown of plywood, Such pleasant memories. Maybe Ill go with him and find someone there. So I decided to play along with him. Yes, Im an angel that descended from heaven. Lead me to your chief, he will tell you exactly what to do.
Great idea, my lady. If someone asks like this and say that you just lost your memory in the forest after the attack of animals, I saved you there and lead you to the city. The old fortune-teller and witch Tiremuska said that today I will find the one that will save everyone from evil and devastation. And I found you, the sweetest creation of our creator.
Thank you, of course, for the compliment. It didnt hurt to go to the city. Are you from the reconstruction of the Middle Ages? Or is there a movie being made here?
I dont understand you, dear lady. I am the Herald Viscount, a boundary knight without fear or reproach. What is your name, sweet lady?
Anna.
What a lovely name. I will carry it in my heart all my life until the day I die.
Do you want me? Say so. You seem like a man is not bad and not impotent. Lets go under the tree and take me. So Ill pay for the trip. But I dont need all this nonsense about knights.
What are you saying sweet lady? I wont dare touch you. You are my ideal.
All right, lets go to the city. I said and snorted. Thats because he looks normal, but impotent. I have seen many of these in my life. Only a lot of words, maybe Ill persuade you along the way.
And we went along the path, which connected with a five-meter stone road. Next to us were carriages and people with hoods on their faces, knights in armor and rich people with carts full of all sorts of goods. Strange beasts pulled these wagons, long-horned deer, unicorns with razor-sharp teeth, and of course a lizard on two strong legs that sniffed at me. Apparently they liked my perfume, not for nothing that the sea breeze, a gift from one boyfriend. He whistled a cheerful tune. I was silent. I began to notice that this is too strange. Bulls with two heads. Flying reptiles soar in the air. The village men greeted the women as they passed by us. In their hands are pitchforks and scythes. And the clothes are from the Middle Ages. But my shock came when I saw a city with a city wall of five meters.
What it is?
This is the town of Brown. The commercial capital of the Tulavs region, our glorious land of Grand Floria. There, in the guild of knights, they will tell you exactly who you are and where you are from. If they give you a reward, Ill get it. But I will still serve you. I loved your image.
So thats it. I realized that this is not my world. But where did I get? Are we sure we are not in Russia?
I do not know such a country beautiful lady. But our master is smart and knows a lot, you can ask him.
In the city, I was surprised by the presence of different races. Both elves and gnomes. Everything you can imagine. People with faces of different insects and animals. Demons with horns. Everything is like in my small town, if you walk alone at night near the restaurants of national cuisine.
Thats the guild. Come on, sweet lady.
We went under the arm. He led me like a queen. Well, thats how I felt at that moment. Knights in gilded armor sat in the guild building. And everyone is just as beautiful as he is. Among them there are ladies in armor. Also wonderful. All people. It is interesting. Are other races not accepted here? Already good. And then from the sight of some puke hunting.
Herald walked proudly. He was clearly proud of me. The other knights looked at him enviously. Near the reception desk we were met by an old knight with a beard and a pipe in his teeth.
Oh knight Herold, you brought us a guest. And so beautiful.
Yes, its Anna. I found her in the forest and vowed to serve her forever as her guardian. But she has no documents. You our grand master Oswald Deoreg can make them. She is an angel from heaven, and not all sorts of «wanderers» there.
Yes. He winked mischievously. And he took out a stone from under the bench. He glowed red. Girl, offer your hand. I did so. The stone turned yellow and symbols appeared on it. But I didnt understand them. Oh, so interesting. You are not in the database. You are not local. But its not a problem. We will register you in the database and give you the documents. And if the Herald vouched for you, then we give you one hundred gold from the guild as a welcome gift. Angels are entitled to subsidies from the crown. But I dont see wings behind your back.
I could swear they were, but the wolves in the forest attacked her and tore them off, and since she is an angel, the wounds on her heal instantly.
I realized that its better to confirm everything, otherwise the place is too strange, they can burn it like a witch at the stake, otherwise Im beautiful. And in the Middle Ages, beautiful people were burned, so I read it in a magazine.
Im an angel, but I dont remember anything. But I bless you with light from heaven. I waved my finger at everyone present. There were smiles or tears on the faces of some, these are simpletons. The Master even got down on one knee, wiped away a tear from his lush mustache and got back to his feet, but already smiling at all his ten golden teeth.
Thank you angel for the light that you shared with us. The money will be on this card, and your documents will be on it. You still do not understand much in this world. But with Sir Herald you will be safe. He handed me a stone tablet seven centimeters on a rope. From what I understand, they are worn around the neck. Thats why she was dressed. Its so cold and pulsating. Magic I understood immediately. It exists in this world. This world is more welcoming than mine. Here I like it. Try not to tell everyone that you are an angel from the heavenly world, you may be mistaken for the «Wanderer», they are from another world and have come to destroy us. You angel just lost your memory. So says the Herald, and I believe him. We have a guild of knights and we keep our word, not like many in our dark time.
We left the guild.
A hundred gold is a lot?
You will have enough for a year of life in this world. But of course it is better to find something you like. Im a boundary knight and serve various masters during wars or monster attacks. I also go through the dungeons and collect treasures.
Its so interesting. Dungeon crawling sounds like fun. But I dont have a weapon. Magic is taught here. I would like to.
Yes, there is an academy of magicians in Rua, the city of the academy is three days journey on horseback. But they wont take you in. You can become a magician only from childhood. You hardly have a gift for this. Maybe youd better become a healer, youre an angel, and you know how to heal with a touch or become an archer. The crossbow is not that difficult to learn how to use and can be fired from a distance. Of course, you wont kill big monsters, but you can scare away and you wont remain hungry, skins are always valuable, just like teeth.
Not a bad option, where do they sell them?
At the market in the city center. There is a wide selection and a shooting range. We will buy everything for you, dear lady. Its also not bad for you to buy clothes. Of course, I will pay for everything. Im your servant.
Chapter 2
Here is the market. But what is waiting for me there? I got hysterical, like always before.
What a dirty market with crappy goods. Everything is bad here. Why did you bring me here you bastard?
Dear lady, this market is the pride of the country of Grand Floria. There is even a statue of King Miguel the thirteenth. Look how beautiful it is here. Fountains and musicians. He waved his hands around the market. And its clean. You dont have to act like that lady. In our country, it is not customary to shout loudly and kick the floor. He raised his hand. Do not go there.
I began to dance in the fountain, splashing everyone with jets of water.
How I want to behave and behave. You are a vile creature. You said you would serve me. Rejoice that I didnt make scum kiss your feet.
You shouldnt say that. Better go deep into the market. Well buy you weapons there. And if the guards see you, then I cant save you from a fine for slovenliness. So its better for you to find an occupation in one of the guilds, and they will give you a guild card, it replaces the documents here. Otherwise, only slaves with collars, bandits or outcasts live without documents. With our hero guild card, you should not be touched for a month. She has such a limit, you cant enter the guild for good, you are not a knight. They can only become by personal decree of the king. And he hasnt been visiting us lately, and its better for you not to meet him. He has so many problems.
I did not argue with him, I left the fountain and we went. The market turned out to be a very lively place, and it smelled pleasantly of various dishes, like in an oriental bazaar. Everything was sold here. And what are the dresses? This fool bought me three grand. Blockhead. And I bought a purple robe, which I wore. It suited me so well and the pockets in it are comfortable. All the dresses fit there with money, the gold turned out to be heavy. But I still wont give it to him. Let him suffer. Even though hes handsome.
The market here is beautiful. A whole paradise for me. Many stalls with beautiful things. There is even a jewelry store. I made eyes for a knight, he built earrings for me and bought them. And then in this world I came without jewelry, almost like naked, only a ring from Arthur on my finger. Now Im wearing gold earrings with a pebble. The seller said that these are rubies, of course he is lying. But I do not care. The main thing is that they are beautiful.
But what happened next surprised me. Weapon shop. I havent seen this yet. Lots of swords and bows. Just my childhood dream. Everything is so shiny. The herald approached the merchant and said that we were looking for. He, smiling, began to show the goods.
Dear lady, you can choose from these three crossbows. They are the best here.
I examined them, they all seemed normal to me. But in the corner I saw a staff with a large stone that looked like a diamond.
I want it.
Its a staff of darkness. Said the seller, a small dwarf with a beard to the floor. «Only magicians can use it, and then not all, but only with a very dark soul. Ive had it for seven years now and I couldnt find a buyer for it. All the magicians that wanted to buy it could not use it. They dont have enough mana to even activate it. Not that to conjure with him. Too strong a weapon. But you can buy it as a trinket, put it on the shelf for beauty. It looks like the seller wants to get rid of her.
I took it in my hands. He turned black. Wrapped around my arm like a snake. And then returned to normal.
Oh dear lady. The staff of darkness has chosen you, I will sell it for three hundred gold. He said smiling. Hes glad he can get rid of him.
The knight will pay. I said and left. The knight remained with his mouth open. Here is the fool. I hate men. He was born to serve me, lousy dork.
Proudly walked on with a staff. Everyone looked at me with respect. Mages are treated differently than warriors. Just right for me. Bow down to me goddess.
A man with a beard and in a striped dressing gown called people to his place. Behind him was a white tent decorated with flowers. Everything is so bright here.
I have the merchant Johann the best goods in the city. Buy the strongest males for yourself or bitches for the house.
He sells dogs. I could use a little dog like my Pitchy. I wonder whats up with her now. Runs alone at home. I also have a cat, Ryzhik. But they can get out of the balcony.
I want to see the pets. I need a good male. To not bark a lot. And it is better to be small and white. And dont poop in the corners. He licked my feet when I was in bed.
Oh dear lady. In our tent you will find everything you are looking for and even more. Excellent product. He extended his hand and led me. Follow me to the tent. They are already standing in a row and waiting for you in cages.
We entered the tent. I experienced shock. The cages were not cute dogs, but men and women of different ages and races.
Here are my beauties. Choose not to rush. They are all healthy and well fed. Ready to serve you faithfully until the end of their lives. And lick your feet if you want. «He winked at me. He misunderstood me.
I began to examine the cells. Yes, there are all races. Dwarves, elves, humans and goblins. All are beautiful enough. In a separate cage in the corner sat a strong guy with a bandage on his lips. He shook his head and obviously wanted to say something.
And this one is connected? Others dont. Is he violent? I liked his tanned strong body. I was directly drawn to him. It hasnt been like this for a long time. Straight from the institute.
He Said the merchant clearly reluctantly. My worst product. He is strong but rebellious. How not to hit him. Cant sell it to anyone. Everyone bites. They brought it to me from a distant country across the sea. Thought it was a good product. But no. He examined me. Especially intently on my staff. «Although a magician like you, madam, can tame and curb him. He smiled wickedly in anticipation of the profit.
Open his mouth. I want to talk to him.
The merchant timidly picked up a knife and cut the ropes through the bars and walked away. He is afraid of him. Maybe he bit him. I would like to see it.
Anna, Im Victor. Said the slave excitedly. We met at the institute in the fifth year.
Yes, until you left me for the sake of Svetka whore, my girlfriend. I cried for two weeks and then became who I am. Bitch.
But Svetas boobs were bigger than yours and she sucked much better than you fool. And she didnt constantly saw my brain with her love. He spat, hitting me on the staff. He was covered in red
