Eliminating unnecessary sources of attention and finding the right room.

You say quietly, “You obviously don’t really know anything else that’s useful to me.”

After these words, you strike with lightning speed with the tip of a blued steel dagger. The tip of the dagger pierces the girl's flesh in the throat area and reaches the brain.

The girl's dead body falls to the floor. By supporting this corpse with your hands, you are able to avoid making a loud sound when the corpse falls to the floor.

Then, you take the keys that fell from the dead girl's hands.

You look out into the corridor. Luckily there is no one.

You leave the archive room and you lock the door. The girl's body will probably not be found until tomorrow.

After this, you approach the door of the next room, which is located on the right along the corridor.

You check the door. Of course it's closed.

You approach the door and you listen carefully.

There is clearly someone inside the room. Sounds of footsteps, snoring, mumbling.

You knock on the door.

Someone comes to the door.

An irritated voice asks: “What do you want?”

You need to convince this person to open the door for you.

You say: “Urgent order sir Ridegor! I have been sent to strengthen the security of a valuable witness!”

There is a grumbling sound from behind the door: “It’s already cramped in this room... And this guy snores vilely... Because of this, it’s difficult for me to sleep... Okay, come in... The commander’s orders must be followed...”

The door opens slowly.

You see a fat guard in the usual uniform of the city guard: iron chain mail, a blue cloak with a heraldic symbol, iron bracers and greaves, a long sword in a sheath on his belt).

When the door opened, the guard's tired, stubbled face reflected amazement. He sees you and understands your deception.

He is about to scream to raise the alarm.

But he doesn't have time to do this.

Your reflexes are faster.

You plunge the tip of your steel dagger into this guy's eye.

Slime. Copious flow of blood. A heavy, lifeless body falls onto a table that stands in the center of a small room. It was noisy. You need to act faster...

You look around and you see on the bed in the corner of the room a young guy who was sleeping until recently, emitting a long snoring.

Now this guy is awake. He rubs his eyes, yawns and says, not yet understanding what is happening: “What? What do you need?"

You look into his face.

That's right. External signs are the same. Average height, blond hair, wart on the left side of the forehead, gray eyes, no mustache or beard

You will recognize this bastard. It was he who gave you the message this morning that you should go to the house of the moneylender Etario. Because of this message, you were almost ambushed by the city guards!

This guy is the one you were looking for. This is Leotan.

You say, looking straight into his uncomprehending eyes: “Etario says hello to you!”

Leotan's gaze reflects the panicked awareness of a mortal threat. Another second and he will scream, calling for help.

But throwing your dagger is faster.

Instead of a scream, only quiet wheezing and gurgling come from the throat of the traitor Leotan.

The steel blade of your blued steel dagger pierced his throat. A copious flow of blood floods the blanket on the bed.

You come closer to this body. You look into his eyes. Life is rapidly leaving this body. His eyes glaze over.

You pull your dagger from the wound.

Then, you throw two quick strikes.

The gouged out eyes on this corpse will serve as a good deterrent to those who try to harm your gang in the future.

After that you open the window. You get out of the room and you climb onto the roof of the city guard barracks. The sounds of footsteps from the corridor reach your ears.

You need to hurry. Another minute of delay and the corpses will be found.

You accelerate, run along the roof and make a powerful jump.

"Bam!"

With difficulty, you manage to jump to the roof of the neighboring building.

You run quickly, jumping from one roof to another.

After a couple of hours you manage to get to the inn where you live.

You go up to the second floor and you enter your room.

You take off your outer clothing and your chain mail.

Then you go to bed. Today was a hard day.

You need to get some sleep.

Your dream is filled with vague images. It's difficult to say what these images mean. Scraps of memories, quirks of the imagination, echoes of some rumors and unreliable stories?

You wake up early in the morning. Do you remember anything from your fragmentary and vague dreams?

No. You remember almost nothing. Only vague images of figures running in the darkness, the shine of steel and shadows that increase in size.

Well, you should wait until the city guard's interest in the moneylender Etario wanes. Now the city guard has no informant. They lost their only witness. They don't have any solid evidence. In a couple of days, you should come to the moneylender Etario and receive your reward for completing a difficult task. You were able to kill the traitor Leotan. Etario promised to pay 10 gold coins for this. Thinking how unpleasant it would be for the greedy Etario to part with such a large sum of money, you smiled.

So, in a couple of days you will come to the house of the moneylender Etario. In the meantime, you need to rest.
