Me | How's it going? | |
Rega | You're from the city, aren't you? | |
Rega | You're one of Onar's mercenaries, aren't you? | |
Rega | You're a magician, aren't you? | |
Rega | You're not one of us, huh? | |
Rega | I'd get out of here if I were you. | |
Me | Why? | |
Rega | This wasn't a paradise before, but at least we were left in peace as long as we did our work for Sekob. | |
Rega | But lately it has become unbearable. | |
Rega | Bandits are everywhere, field raiders destroy the entire harvest, and the landowner is getting to be pretty brutal. | |
Me | Are you afraid of the landowner, then? | |
Rega | You bet. If the landowner doesn't like people's faces, he sends his mercenaries after them, and that's the last you see of them. | |
Rega | So we prefer to keep our mouths closed. | |
Me | Shouldn't the mercenaries take care of the field raiders? | |
Rega | I don't know what they're being paid for, but certainly not to help us common people. | |
Rega | The field raider problem is left to the small farmers who rent the fields from him. | |
Me | How do you protect yourselves against the bandits? | |
Rega | We don't. We run away. What else? | |
Me | So who's the nasty guy over there? | |
Rega | Don't get me wrong, but I don't want to get into trouble. Go ask somebody else. | |
Me | Keep your chin up. | |
Rega | That's easy for you to say. You live in town, after all. | |
Rega | If you mercenaries weren't quite so unbearable, everything else wouldn't be so bad. | |
Rega | There's fewer and fewer magicians about. I hope you're not the last one. We need you - now more than ever. | |
Rega | That's not so easy if you're working for Sekob the slave-driver. | |
