You decide to try, despite the slim chances.

Despite your initial **** due to the memories associated with the markets, you **** yourself to try.

In response to your attempt to enter the open-air flower market, your path is blocked by three mercenaries, each dressed in leather armor and armed with a spiked mace.

Two half-orc males and one human male.

So, you are **** to stop.

The human male mercenary looks at you mockingly and places his right palm on the handle of his mace.

He smirks and says: "We are the private security of this flower market. There is no place for stinking dirty ragamuffins like you here. Get out of here quickly, bitch! Or we will call the city guards. Although we can do something interesting with you without the guards..."

These words are clearly threatening to you...

As the human mercenary finishes his sentence, you notice a female half-orc merchant in a good dark green dress standing near one of the trading stalls.

Her black eyes look at you coldly

She says in a booming voice: "Hey, guys, leave her alone for now. I have an idea how to use this ragged tiefling. Let her through."

You cautiously walk past the three armed mercenaries.

The female half-orc merchant nods indifferently to you and gestures with her hand to go inside the nearest small house, to which her trading stall is adjacent.

So, you go inside the house...

You find yourself in a small, cramped room filled with various flowers and their aromas. The walls are decorated with colorful paintings depicting exotic places and adventures.

The female half-orc merchant follows you in and closes the door behind her.

You look around anxiously.

Lots of furniture (two tables, stools, chairs, a sofa), counters with flowers, cabinets with colored flasks (probably, there are some liquids inside the flasks, the composition of which is unknown to you). And also - you see a wooden staircase to the second floor.

Female half-orc merchant comes up to the counter, opens a book and counts something.

Her black eyes look up after a while.

She looks into your eyes indifferently and partly contemptuously.

She says: "I'll tell you right away that I don't give a damn about you and your problems. I'm giving you the opportunity to earn some money only because it's beneficial to me. So, are you ready to work and do what I say without stupid questions?"
