The keen eye and ear again sensed nothing. The mansion was empty. Not a single trespasser on the upper floors or in the guest halls. Not even a little naive mouse. What a disappointment... A jump from the balcony onto the statue's head, and from it — onto the marble floor. A dash into a lateral passage. Crossroads. A glance to the right, at the door to the guest hall. Certainly there was no one there. A glance to the left — at a lateral that goes nowhere, culminating in a dead end where a subtle magical whisper could be heard. All seemed to be in order. But what if the master forgot something? Or didn't anticipate something? What if Roderigo would get into trouble because of that and be delayed for too long? Better to be sure. A jump onto the pedestal, then — onto the elegant vase, and at last, a final dash to the candlestick that hung on the wall. A slight effort — and he bent over, starting the melody of clacking gears. An instant — and the wall rotated. The whisper became more clear and distinct. It evidently asked for something — and those requests would be heard.
Lords and Ladies, the temper of the mysterious crossroads is sometimes as fickle as the crossroads itself. It may be harsh, but it may also show favor. If you only put your trust in it, everything can turn the other way round.
The rules for the “Reaper’s Duty” event have undergone a number of important changes:
1) Starting from the 21st map level, the option to scout enemy’s placement on the battlefield before the beginning of the combat is available to everyone;
2) Starting from the 1st map level, the option to fight a lesser enemy is available to everyone. In this case, the base number of points for a victorious battle and the gold reward will be halved. A loss in such a battle will subtract 0.5 points rounded up;
3) All those who have not yet defeated the 50th map level enemy, have the opportunity to reset all their progress once per event and start the journey from the very beginning. This will generate all levels anew. All the rewards received during the first pass will not be awarded again, but there will be an opportunity to earn rewards for all previously skipped levels.
Have a pleasant and comfortable game! |
