"Thus, the Calm Madman, Chlori and Rostolia went to the city near the Greenline. The rest stayed with the Calm Madman and, on his instructions, went to the cave where the Faceless One was."

Faceless: Your name is Rostolia, right?

Chlori: Your name is Rostolia, right?

Rostolia: Yes, it's me. But why are you talking to me in such a disrespectful tone and manner of speech?

Chlori: I have nothing to do with it...

Faceless: Rostolia, I told you that. Since I can't talk, she works as my translator, as a person who voices the thoughts of another person at the expense of her abilities. But in our case, she's voicing my thoughts.

Chlori: Rostolia, I told you that. Since I can't talk, she works as my translator, as a person who voices the thoughts of another person at the expense of her abilities. But in our case, she's voicing my thoughts.

Rostolia: Are you, my lord? Did you ask that?

Faceless: That's right, it was me.

Chlori: That's right, it was me.

"Rostolia fell on one knee, her right knee, and bowed her head."

Rostolia: Please forgive me for asking such a disrespectful question and tone.

Faceless: It's not worth it, you didn't commit such a strong offense to fall on your knee, thereby underestimating your pride. It's not worth it, I'm not a tyrant.

Chlorine: It's not worth it, you didn't commit such a strong offense to fall on your knee, thereby underestimating your pride. It's not worth it, I'm not a tyrant.

Rostolia: Thank you, my lord. You are so strong and good-natured. Can I get up?

Faceless: Of course, get up.

Chlori: Of course, get up.

"Rostolia got up from her knee and stood behind the Faceless One again, following him."

Rostolia: Sir, do you know where we should go?

Faceless: Most likely.

Chlori: Most likely.

Rostolia: Good...

Faceless: Do you want a more detailed answer?

Chlori: Do you want a more detailed answer?

Rostolia: I would not refuse such a pleasant gift from my master.

Faceless: Judging by the way the Calm Madman spoke, it can be said that he did not spend much time with these two, but they are all useful to him or he signed a contract with them. Although, maybe they are interested in him. So, I assumed that the mana particles should be in his body and weak, which will soon detach from his body, and strong, which are more strongly attached to it. That's how I found the right mana particles. After that, based on what he said, we went about this way, but we don't know exactly where. That's why these mana particles were needed. I compared them to the very particles and those that fly around. So I concluded that we should go this way.

I compared them to the very particles and those that fly around. So I concluded that we should go this way.

Rostolia: Yeah. That is, you are talking about residual traces of mana on the body, after traveling to different places and made a subsequent conclusion. Right?

Faceless: Yes.

Chlori: Yes.

Rostolia: And who taught you this?

Faceless: You won't believe it, but I came up with this idea when we were in hell. I had never thought about it before and didn't even know about this method. Actually, I was in a cave for 10 years, and I do not know what happened before that moment in my immortal life.

Chlori: You won't believe it, but I came up with this idea when we were in hell. I had never thought about it before and didn't even know about this method. Actually, I was in a cave for 10 years, and I do not know what happened before that moment in my immortal life.

Rostolia: What?! I don't believe you! This is absurd! Although, perhaps not... Judging by the way the Calm Madman spoke, we can say that you have already almost destroyed life on the planet.

Faceless: Most likely.

Chlori: Most likely.

--- At this time---

Calm madman: Guys, push up, we have only a little bit left to fly. I can already see the cave. Fortunately, I got rid of this Growth. Now she's looking for a Krader, but I didn't expect them to speed up the route. If they take Dragr and Bella, they can find their way to Kradra faster. So, what's up with the tree?..*

Shobf: I see a cave! All attention! We're coming soon! We are reducing the descent speed by 50%!

"Everyone who was flying, even Fab, who was carrying a Calm Madman in his strong claws, reduced their speed by about 26%. So they reduced the descent rate by about 50%."

Shobf: We're almost there! We're taking the route down! Do not forget to cancel your speed when exceeding the initial speed, before decreasing!

"Everyone started going down smoothly. At the mark of exceeding the initial speed, almost the entire descent path was passed. Therefore, everyone flapped their wings with such force as to cancel the speed and come to a mark near zero. Having created a second-long levitation effect, they began a slow descent, as on a parachute, due to their wings, which were directed not to descend diagonally down, but horizontally, almost parallel to the ground. After a while, everyone was at the ground. Fab, carefully, put the Calm Madman down and himself, after that, stood on the ground."

Calm madman: So, all demons. I think you've noticed, but this is the cave where the Faceless One has been sitting for 10 years. What do you see that is unusual?

Kobsh: Is the cave saturated with mana?

Calm madman: No, the answer is not correct. Will anyone else try it?

"After the Calm Madman's question, there was only silence filled with the sound of grass."

Calm madman: In that case, please note that there is a tree growing behind the cave. It's very dangerous, even for you. If you stand by a tree for a long time, it will drain all your mana and begin, literally, to drain your life force. Namely, blood, any liquids. After that, most likely, when you drop dead, it will recycle your body like fertilizer. Moving on to the fruits. At the moment, not from the sons of the progenitor, one fruit, and no more, can be eaten by Arfolia, the Supreme Lich, Fedfros and those who received, from birth, partial compatibility with divine mana. As you can see, there are not many of them.

Fab: Can I ask you a question?

Calm madman: Yes, come on.

Fab: Which creatures, at the moment, can partially use divine mana?

A calm madman: Perhaps some kind, Holy Father, but only on the verge of life and death, when fighting evil spirits of any class. I think there is only one such Holy Father. The rest of the Fathers will only use it not at will, but with proper prayer. Also, I think that those who were born under certain conditions. For example, Jesus Christ, Shakyamuni Buddha, Allah. That is, those who acquired this ability, but sacrificed their lives. It can be said that when they reached such power, they were reborn and born already in the body that they originally had, but since they were born, they have the opportunity to use divine mana at will.

Fab: Got it.

Calm madman: In fact, there are probably 7 such creatures, if you do not take into account the Holy Fathers. Turning to our plan for today, I would like to ask you. Who can summon a horde of monsters?

Kobsh: It depends on what they are needed for. I don't want to kill them.

Calm madman: No, they don't need to die. You will need to keep a circle line around the cave.

Cobsh: What distance is necessary?

Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

Calm madman: A radius of 5 meters is needed from the cave. That is, 30 meters or 30 monsters.

Cobsh: Then what is required of them?

Calm madman: They need to stand in their place and as soon as they see a living being with the ability to think, run to me and tell me who is coming. Is that clear?

Kobsh: I see.

Shobf: And what is required of us?

Calm madman: So, you are three. Then, one builds, one carries the materials, and the other guards the tree.

Fab: That's the easiest way to guard.

A calm madman: I wouldn't say that. You will be standing at its trunk. That is, you will be eaten. Therefore, you will change. So who will be the first at the tree?

Kobsh: Let me do it.

The calm madman: Who is building?

Shobf: I am!

Fab: Well, I'm still wearing the materials.

Calm madman: You need to make the foundation of the building as strong as possible. The most durable glass. The maximum strength should be such that the demon lord will not be able to break it. Is it available?

Fab: And where do you get such materials?

Calm madman: I'll figure it out. For now, your task is to protect the tree. And I'm going after the dwarves. I didn't go to them for nothing. Fab, you're with me. Ah! I almost forgot, who can use telepathy or has artifacts or the ability of the body to communicate, like Kradra, or a spell for communication?

Fab: I can help.

Calm madman: And what do you have?

Fab: I can give artifacts for communication.

Calm madman: In that case, give one to the guys and one to us.

"Fab gave away the left ear of the bat queen, enhanced with runes. Then he flapped his wings and grabbed the Calm Madman with his claws. That's how they set off."

Calm madman: Do you see the mountain?

Fab: Yes.

Calm madman: There to the foot, then I'll show you the way.

"Fab turned to the right and flew straight into the sky. After flying up, he began a rapid descent, and since he was near the troposphere, his path would be only 3 minutes.

--- At this time---

Shobf: Do you remember how to use this ear?

Kobsh: It seems like you don't need to do anything to get information, but to send it, you need to bend the tip of your ear and speak inside.

Shobf: That's probably it.

"At the same moment, the Calm Madman and Fab were halfway to the foot of the mountain. Faceless, Chlori and Rostolia were almost at the city."

Kobsh: I think we need to put monsters around the perimeter.

"Kobsh, bending his spine and getting on the right knee, hit the ground with his elbow."

Cobsh: Come to pay off a lifetime debt. I summon you, goblin horde.

"At the moment when Kobsh uttered this call, a huge noise appeared around the field, in the forest. Some trees were falling. There was a lot of noise and shouting all over the forest. As soon as they stopped, 6 goblin scouts and 35 goblin bugbears appeared, kneading the grass and shaking the ground a little."

One of the goblin scouts: Yes, master. We have come to pay off our endless debt.

Kobsh: These goons need to stand in a circle. There should be 5 meters from the cave. It is best to have 30 of them. The remaining 6 will have to be a hexagon 5 meters away from them. Arrange them, please. And then hide in the forest and keep an eye on the forest roads and as soon as you see someone driving along the road, immediately inform me.

One of the goblin scouts: That's right!

"The goblins started their activities on the instructions of Kobsh."

--- At this time---

Calm madman: Fab, you can leave me. By the time I find the entrance, you'll be down.

Fab: Good.

"Fab released the Calm Madman at a distance of about one kilometer and at a speed of about 130 kilometers per hour. Thus, the Calm madman simply stuck his head into the ground and went into it up to his elbows. After that, he got out and began a quick walk through the territory of the foot of the mountain, until he saw the very descent to the Goutus. At the same time, Fab landed near the Calm Madman."

Fab: Did you find the entrance!?

Calm madman: Yes! Come on, come here quickly!

"Fab began to slowly run towards the Calm Madman. After a minute of running around like that, he was already next to him."

Calm madman: We need to go through that hole. I forgot where the main entrance is. Therefore, let's go in the old way.

"Fab and the Calm Madman began to climb the mountain to the entrance to Goutas' apartment."

--- At this time---

"The goblin horde had already taken up positions and it looked like there was a protected goblin territory, namely their military base."

Kobsh: Wow, they're already done. No wonder I helped them.

Shobf: And what, in general, was it that they owe you now?

Kobsh: Not so long ago, about 20 years ago, I saved them. At that time, adventurers were destroying goblin villages near the royal city, and all for the sake of protecting the princess, who had not yet gained strength. The idea is not stupid, but stupid. The princess was a recluse and did not go out, not that out of the city, but out of the castle in general, so it was stupid. But the adventurers made a lot of money out of it.

Shobf: And what was the help?

Cobsh: Oh, that. The usual thing. I was flying past and saw that all the nearby villages had been destroyed and only a large hut of the royal goblin squadrons remained - I went down to it. Inside I saw 7 goons, 2 goblin scouts and one goblin caster, as I found out, he was a magician. All of them were seriously injured, but when they saw me, they immediately got up and stood in a fighting stance, as if they were protecting something. I bowed to them, greeted them, said that I had come in peace, for the sake of help, and stood up. As soon as I did that, they put away their guns and started crying. I think that if it wasn't for their severe wounds that opened when they got into a fighting stance, they would have rushed at me and hugged me for a long time.

Shobf: No, well, you're the best storyteller. You talk about the details, but you don't talk about them.

Cobsh: And what did you want from a demon who is engaged in military affairs, hmm? Okay, what are you interested in?

Shobf: So were they protecting something or not?

Cobsh: Oh, that. Yes, when I got closer, I saw one goblin, as I later learned from the goblin rulers, he was one of his sons, who survived the war with the Griffin Empire.

Shobf: I get it, but you're bent. The 'Griffin Empire', you are engaged in military affairs and do not know what the empire is called, yeah... 'The Griffin Empire. The first district is proud.'

Kobsh: I'm sorry, but I didn't want to go into details, but I just told you briefly.

Shobf: Okay, I get it. What's your maximum goblin summoning?

Cobsh: If you spend half of my mana, you will get a whole army of goblins in the amount of 3 thousand units of lives and 10 timbers.

Shobf: I think it's enough to demolish the Fifth District - industrial, don't you think?

Kobsh: I think so, but it's not a matter of honor. I saved them from death and later I drive them to a suicidal war, where about a hundred or even fewer will survive. Don't you think it's unfair and will lower the goblins' trust in me, as well as ruin my reputation and honor. Not?

Shobf: Yes, it's pretty reasonable. Then when do you call them?

Cobsh: Just for easy work. Scouting, protecting a small area without endangering their lives, transferring something and, for example, they can be used to train recruits in the army of demons. I think that's all the work I make them do.

Shobf: Quite adequate.

--- At this time---

Faceless: We are near the city. Through the main entrance?

Chlori: We are near the city. Through the main entrance?

Rostolia: Do you want to enter through the main gate of the city? Isn't that reckless?

Faceless: If the information has already reached, then everything will be fine, and if not, then we will go through the breach.

Chlori: If the information has already reached, then everything will be fine, and if not, then we will go through the breach.

Rostolya: How is it, straight ahead?

Faceless: Either by force if they try to harm Chlori or you. Or we'll just walk through.

Chlori: Either by force if they try to harm Chlori or you. Or we'll just walk through.

Rostolia: Well, have it your way...

"The three of them went to the main gate, which was open, but there was a security check."

???: Next one, please.

Faceless: Yeah, there's a queue of 19 people in front of us, I'm not happy. We hope that everything will pass quickly.

--- At this time---

"The calm madman and Fab have already reached the passage to Goutas' apartment. As they descended, they bumped into a door. The calm madman knocked."

Calm madman: Goatus, it's me again.

???: Who are you and how do you know my teacher?

The calm madman: You're a student of Goustas, right?

???: What's it to you?

Calm madman: Okay, then it's different. Where is Goutus? If you're not going to answer, then I'll break down the door and go to the elder.

???: Okay, I'm opening it.

"The dwarf who was Goutas' apprentice opened the door and the Calm Madman, with Fab behind him, fell out of the descent."

???: W-who... are you? What do you need from my teacher?!

A calm madman: A boy who is afraid and does not try to defend himself is either a fool who does not know his place, or he accepted his death from a worthy opponent. So who are you if you don't defend yourself against fear?

???: I just didn't expect this...

Calm madman: This is not an excuse, you are still too stupid to be a real student of Goutas. Unlike you, when I was here for the first time, he was already ready and had his best weapon in his hands - a hammer. Yes, he was afraid, but he was ready to accept his death, defending what he had done and his associates. Okay, never mind. I'm not going to lecture you anymore. Take me to the elder and tell me, please, when will Goutus be back?

Student of Goutas: I'll take you now. Goutus will be back tonight. And what is your name?

"After that sentence, they left Goutas's house and went to the elder."

Calm madman: Fab, explain everything and everything to him. I'm tired of introducing myself.

Fab: Good. Boy, this is the progenitor's son. People like him don't have a name. His nickname is 'The Calm Madman', and he arrived for the last meeting, 10 years ago.

Calm madman: Thank you, boy, what's your name?

Student of Goutas: Honestly, I'm not a dwarf, but only a half-dwarf. That's why they didn't give me a name, but Goutus calls me 'The receiver of the Sacred Hammer', in short, the Receiver.

Calm madman: That is, ah. Got it.

Fab: But I didn't understand...

Calm madman: You'll find out later. Listen, don't you want to introduce yourself?

Fab: That's right, I'm sorry. The receiver, Senya's name is Fab, I am a class-A demon, a past servant of Mrs. Arfolia. At the present time, I am the servant of a Calm Madman and a loyal subject of the Faceless One.

Receiver: What?! Are you a high-class demon? How did you become a servant?

Fab: Boy, do you know who the sons of the grandparents are?

Receiver: No...

Fab: These are creatures that are not subject to time. They live forever and were created with the creation of the universe and live as its defenders.

Receiver: And why, then, why are the two sons of the progenitor in the same universe?

Fab: Calm madman, should I tell you or should I tell you myself?

Calm madman: Okay, let me. The boy, the defender of this universe, namely the Faceless One, has been restarted from the universe. He had made some kind of mistake and such a fate awaited him. In fact, he is the first of the seven brothers to receive this punishment. I was wondering why. I started reading books about it quickly and saw a big problem in its power. He could not control his mana, which is why the entire universe could not be within an hour, or even less. Therefore, I had to reformulate the universe's foundations and I ended up with him when restarting. Later, I closed it so that the mana would not come out. We are dealing with the consequences now.

Receiver: And how did you get rid of uncontrolled mana?

A calm madman: The artifact was hung on him, well, roughly speaking.

Receiver: Understood, by the way, we are near the elder's house.

Calm madman: Yes, I recognize this house. I see that he is still being looked after as before. So, boy, you stand outside the door, if you need it, Fab will call you.

Receiver: Yes, good.

Calm madman: * So far, the boy really shows hope for his future title. Yes, and he is calm, although he still needs to be taught and taught, but this is already good for his 10-year-old age.*

"A calm madman knocked on the door of the elder's house. A woman's voice was heard from inside."

???: Who is there? The gardeners again?

Calm madman: No, we are old acquaintances with your husband, if, of course, you are his wife.

???: If you're talking about my husband, then yes, but if you're talking about my son, then no.

Calm madman: Okay, is your husband at home?

???: Not really, he went to the meeting.

Calm madman: Can you take us there?

???: Okay, I'll get dressed now.

"From the house, sometimes, there were sounds of walking."

--- After about 5 minutes---

"The door started to open."
