"Hello Hermann," said Valentin, "I have a deal for you."280Please respect copyright.PENANAROqTOYi5Vb
"Hello Valentin, my old swindler," answered Hermann, while he was hugging him. "Doing deals is my business."280Please respect copyright.PENANA41ZU0OPGjM
"I lost a half of my men, weapons and horses. You are good at making deals."280Please respect copyright.PENANAPZoRzYsR8Z
"I don't wonder," said Hermann. "But I won't give you money. You haven't paid for the last case."280Please respect copyright.PENANAkfdnpEVynE
"Here's the deal, listen, when we get the money for the next campaign..."280Please respect copyright.PENANAXxAgLt9cVi
"And where are you going to join with your ragamuffins?"280Please respect copyright.PENANA7TW06A07QE
"Isn't it some kind of job for the Moscow prince?"280Please respect copyright.PENANAeL8nWE4CBs
"Yeah, right here their recruiting teams are running around," Hermann chuckled. "What do you need is to drag your ass to Moscow."280Please respect copyright.PENANAZdROym2Po5

Valentin spoke about disasters of his squad.280Please respect copyright.PENANAnBs3iibFxn

"Wait a second! Are you talking about Irene Fireman?" Hermann looked worried.280Please respect copyright.PENANAFMd0SqbzJO
"Are you familiar with her?"280Please respect copyright.PENANAgagwIfWZta
"Thank God no! But I've heard about her. Dangerous woman, praise God that she didn't sell your company into slavery on the way here!" said Hermann and muttered. "So, she came to Kazan, I wonder on what business?"

Valentin's men ran from him in all directions. Because he had no money for this campaign.280Please respect copyright.PENANAkpu8KEiPFV

Valentin, Nicolas and I settled in the Hermann's house.280Please respect copyright.PENANAGUxCLGYDkF
Maria-Cecilia, Hermann's wife, was dissatisfied with this. Because we boarded without payment.280Please respect copyright.PENANACnHic7hnjw
"You are slackers!" she hourly said to us. "You must comply with my rules. My house. My rules!"280Please respect copyright.PENANAylXQSfx6ec
She called Nicolas "a smug Breton bastard," even though he didn't deserve to be treated like that.280Please respect copyright.PENANAI92hyBt2tD
She scolded me for thick eyebrows, I was very upset because of it.280Please respect copyright.PENANA0HgK29QR1x

"G.P. Basil! You Are the Man!" Valentin exclaimed.280Please respect copyright.PENANAfuUyahHsnw
Maria-Cecilia asked when we would vacate.
