This school has become a second family. The director is always available, friendly and helpful. They treat my child as if he were one of their own and always say hi to me and him in the morning and goodbye to us both in the evening. The teachers are all friendly and welcoming. I’m very happy with this school.

Best decision I made. I didn’t have much time to decide on a school and once I toured La Petite o knew I made the right choice.

Verified Shopper

I used to work for this school so I already knew my child would be attending once she was old enough. I felt comfortable with the teachers that I grew to know when working there and meeting the new ones once my child started there. The Brightwheel app they use is awesome because you can see their daily activity posted and send and receive messages to and from the teachers. They also send pictures through

Stones vary in levels, and the higher the level, the greater the increase in characteristics can be expected. For each subsequent weapon upgrade, you will have to look for stones of a higher level. Total in the game 9varieties of such stones, they differ in the number near the name. The stone of the first level improves the weapon up to +3, the stone of the ninth – up to +25.

Blacksmith Stones of Darkness

These stones are needed to upgrade special weapons. For example, this is issued for defeating bosses. Like ordinary stones, these are also divided into levels and generally work on the same principle. The only differences are in the rarity of the item, the number of levels (there are 10, not 9) and a slightly faster leveling.

Where you can farm blacksmith stones

Even ordinary blacksmith stones, not to mention obscurant stones, are quite rare material. From time to time you will stumble upon it, but it will take quite a long time to look for them on your own, which can greatly stretch the pumping process. Therefore, if you are ready to sacrifice the spirit of exploration for the sake of accelerating progress, then we will tell you how to collect these items most efficiently.

Blacksmith stones can usually be found in chests and on the bodies of fallen enemies . But most often they can be found in tunnels. Your goal is gold and silver crystals on their walls. Another universal way is to bring bell spheres for the Twin Old Handmaids to buy stones with runes.

Floating islands, which during a flood bring to the main lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny and the overgrown Gus River – an attraction or a dangerous problem

In the town’s lake Gus-Khrustalny, floating islands of bushes and reeds appear every year, which are brought from the mouth of the Gus River during the flood. To get rid of the problem, federal funding is needed, but for now, the authorities and entrepreneurs are forced to eliminate the floating islands on their own

The so-called floating islands, which are whole layers of thickets of reeds, sedges and small trees, have been sailing into the city lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny for many years now. The editor of the Gusev newspaper Afisha, Dmitry Sakharov, told Zebra TV that such a phenomenon has already become a kind of local “landmark”.

True, if in past years the problem was solved promptly: the authorities and local entrepreneurs cooperated and jointly “caught” floating islands from the lake, this year, according to Sakharov, the islands have been floating for about 3 weeks, and no one cares about them. And one of the islands has already moored right at the embankment, where people are used to walking and closes the whole view of the lake:

“Every year, in the spring, when the ice begins to melt, floating islands come to our city lake, which, on the one hand, have already become a local “attraction”, and on the other hand, are an accumulation of garbage and bushes. They swim along the river from the mouth and are driven by the current along the lake. In 2016, local entrepreneurs pulled out and disposed of these thickets at their own expense. They cannot be left: not only is there an accumulation of garbage, but they can take root. And the governor of the Vladimir region, Svetlana Orlova, noted that the lake is our pearl, and the head of the city of Gus-Khrustalny repeats that the lake needs to be taken care of. Now the floating islands have been floating for three weeks, and it feels like no one needs it. A few days ago, the island was swimming near the central beach, children could climb there. And now he swam right to the embankment.

Representatives of the initiative group of Gusev entrepreneurs, who last year were engaged in cleaning up the lake, told Zebra TV on condition of anonymity that they were in no hurry to start fishing for floating islands, since local officials put the problem on the back burner on the eve of the May holidays.

Activists note that the authorities, in their opinion, “do not yet take the problem seriously, since there are many other priority problems that also require immediate resolution” . At the same time, all that businessmen need to get started is the administrative assistance of the authorities, since the lake is a specially protected area and permits and environmental reviews are needed to work on it.

Gus businessmen explained to Zebra TV that the problem of floating islands that sail into the lake from the Gus River has been growing for decades:

“These islands arise due to the fact that the mouth of the Gus River is overgrown. It had to be cleaned 15-20 years ago. And now we are fighting only with the effect – these islands, and not with the cause itself. These islands – they are growing, it is a constant process. In the spring, they break away from the main land due to the fact that the water table rises. This problem has been growing not in one year, but for decades. Last year we solved it together with the city authorities, and this year the islands sailed again – even more than last year.”

Ideally, according to entrepreneurs, it is necessary not to “chop off the heads of the Hydra, which will grow back” , but to deal with the root cause – to clean the mouth and bed of the Gus River so that the islands no longer sail. But this requires large financial costs, and therefore businessmen are still ready to clean the lake regularly:

“We are ready to do this, we would like there to be synergy, so that the authorities also see this as a problem and want to solve it, and we are always ready to help. After all, the priority of other problems does not replace the presence of a problem with the lake.

The head of the city of Gus-Khrustalny, Nikolai Balakhin, said that work to scoop out floating islands from the lake, which is a favorite vacation spot for citizens, has been underway for the past 4 years. Balakhin explained to Zebra TV that at the moment the authorities are literally waiting for a fair wind:

Nikolai Balakhin

“We have three floating islands. We solve the problem in two ways. Our City Council deputies and entrepreneurs help us a lot with cleaning up the lake and the beach. We already have experience of working together to eliminate these islands. The equipment is already ready – entrepreneurs are ready to give mobile excavators. We’re not bailing it out now because we don’t want to mess up the city we cleaned up ahead of 9May. After Victory Day for a week, we are waiting for a fair wind that will drive the islands to the shore. Then we scoop them out, let the water drain, then we take them out and clean the site. We find a common language with entrepreneurs. We started to scoop out one of the islands, but the wind has changed: now one island is moored, and two are floating on the lake.”

The material of the floating islands – reeds and trees, according to the information of the head of Gus-Khrustalny, are used to reclaim landfills or backfill quarries, that is, they do not need special disposal. After the holidays, according to Balakhin, it is planned not only to catch the floating islands, but also to slightly renew the city beach with clean sand.

According to Nikolai Balakhin, it will be possible to radically solve the problem only next year. Now the administration of Gus-Khrustalny has begun preparing the necessary project documentation in order to enter the federal program for the environmental rehabilitation of rivers in 2018, under which, in the Vladimir region, for example, 7 rivers have already been cleaned up in 2016.

Recall that last year, during the governor’s visit to the reconstructed embankment on the lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny, local residents complained to Svetlana Orlova about water pollution in the central city reservoir. Then the governor Orlova reassured the residents of Gusev that the head of the city, Nikolai Balakhin, knew how to enter the federal program for cleaning up reservoirs in order to “put the pearl of glass city in order.”

“Now we are working on a project to clean up the bed of the Gus River. And in 2018, within the framework of the federal program for the ecological rehabilitation of rivers, we plan to receive funding. We have the support of Governor Svetlana Orlova and the confidence that this money will be allocated. We will clean up the river bed so that the floating islands that form in that area will no longer float into the lake. This will be a serious cleanup of the river,” emphasizes Nikolai Balakhin.

So far, the exact amount that will be needed to clean up the bed of the Gus River is unknown: it will be determined by the project documentation.

Alexander Belousov told about the secrets and legends of the ancient lake Huko

On the border of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea there is a true natural diamond – the sacred Adyghe Lake Huko. The lake is rightfully considered the pearl of the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve and is the object of close attention of scientists. Among the lakes of the Western Caucasus, it stands out for its beauty, unusual location, mysterious origin and peculiar water regime. The head of the expeditionary center of the Krasnodar regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society Alexander Belousov tells about the secrets and legends of the ancient lake Huko. For 11 years now, he has been exploring reservoirs within the framework of the project, which became the winner of the national award “Crystal Compass”: “The Western Caucasus is a mountainous country of a thousand lakes.”

Lake Khuko is located on the border of the Caucasian Reserve and the watershed of the Main Range at an altitude of 1740 m between the rivers Pshekhashkha (a tributary of the Pshekhi river) and Shakhe, 7 km northwest of the town of Fisht. According to the measurements, the area of ​​this reservoir is 27,500 m2, the length is 260 m, and the width is 150 m, the maximum depth reaches 10 m. The section of the Main Range, on which the lake is located, has a peculiar morphological structure.

– The real name of the lake is Khyk’o, i.e. Hiko, but he is constantly distorted and called Huko, as is customary on most cards, or Huho, and sometimes even Foucault, – says Alexander Belousov.

Khyk’o in translation from the Adyghe means “dolphin” or “porpoise”. From a nearby peak, one can see a shape close to a dolphin in the outlines of the lake. In the northeastern part of the lake, the “dolphin ridge” is clearly visible. Another meaning of the word “hykyo” is “son of the sea”. It is believed that the lake is a remnant of an archaic sea and still has some kind of connection with the Black Sea.

– The existence of another version of the origin of the name is quite logical. Near the lake rises the mountain of the same name, which could give the name to the picturesque reservoir. For the indigenous Circassians, Khuko is a sacred lake that can save them from dry weather. The Circassians still believe that if you collect water from the lake and transfer it to the nearest stream, then after some time it will start to rain. During drought days, residents of the surrounding settlements send people to Lake Huko. The most important thing in this ritual is not to spill a single drop along the way, otherwise a severe flood may occur. Local residents believe that this is exactly what happened in 1991, when a bottle of water from the sacred lake was broken on the way to the settlement. In 2004, the staff of the reserve told me about the next pilgrimage to the lake of two mountaineers – father and son, – adds Alexander Belousov.

Highlanders believed that the spirit of the goddess Psiguashe (Psyguashche, the Circassian Maiden of Waters or the Lady of Water) lives in the lake, commanding rains and saving the local lands from drought.

And here are a few mysterious facts that were written about in the newspaper “Komsomolskaya Pravda” in the 80s of the XX century: “There is always some kind of magical silence reigning here, no sounds are ever heard from the side of the lake, which sometimes even frightens especially impressionable tourists. Huko is surrounded by mountain ranges, so the wind in its vicinity is also very rare. Fish do not live in cold waters and not a single stream flows out of the lake. In general, a solid mystery shrouded in darkness.” All these facts fueled increased interest in this reservoir. Until a certain time, the reservoir was little studied, and there was almost no information about it in the specialized literature.

On Lake Huko, even in summer, the shores are covered with snow, and ice floes float in the water area of ​​the reservoir. Photo: Dmitry Komarov

After several expeditions led by Deputy of the Krasnodar Regional Branch of the Russian Geographical Society Yuri Eremov, much that was previously inexplicable became clear. There is practically no life in the reservoir itself – even microscopic algae, which are found in any fresh reservoir, were not found in this lake.

– Only in the shallows near the shore one could notice individual species of rotifers, larvae of caddisflies, cladocerans and folded crustaceans common to any lake. They feed on small ducks, often floating on the surface of the water, – remembers the first explorer of the lake Yuri Efremov.

This is one of the main paradoxes of the Khuko tract. Around it – the kingdom of forest and subalpine vegetation, the basin is well lit by the sun. However, aquatic vegetation is absent here.

– Most likely, the reason lies in the harsh microclimatic conditions of this tract. In winter, a lot of snow falls – up to 4-5 m. In addition, the conditions here are extremely favorable for redeposition of snow, that is, its transfer from the steep southeastern and southern slopes to the lake basin. As a result, the snow cover persists until June, and in some seasons, floating ice floes can be seen even in July. Therefore, the water in it is cold even in summer. So in August it did not rise above 15°C. The warming of the water column is also slow. With depth, the temperature drops to 5-6°C. The bluish-green water is transparent to a depth of 6-7 m. Its mineralization is low, due to the melting of snow and precipitation. The lake is under ice and a thick layer of snow 9-10 months a year. In this regard, the conditions for the existence of fish and other living organisms are extremely unfavorable, – Alexander Belousov explains.

Another mystery of the lake is its origin. This area is included in the powerful tectonic zone of the Kurdzhip-Adler fault, which separates the Western and Northwestern Caucasus. A system of tectonic cracks stretches along the Main Range, along which erosion and frost weathering (destruction of rocks during freezing of water, melting ice and snow) actively occur. Ultimately, this basin formed.

– There is another large lake depression nearby. Within its limits, a small fading lake has been preserved. And once there was a lake twice the size of modern Huko. But it was destroyed by a breakthrough of the water flow through the thin wall of the watershed towards the river. Pshekhashkhi. Apparently, such a fate awaits Huko in the future, since on the north side of the reservoir, the bridge between it and the slope of the indicated river does not exceed 2-3 m. It must be assumed that this will not happen soon, since erosion develops very slowly in resistant rocks, – explains the researcher.

Lake Huko is unique in that it has no outflow, so it accumulates precipitation evenly (without mixing). In its bottom sediments, which are a source of information about changes in the natural environment on a geological time scale, climate changes that have occurred in the region over the past several tens of thousands of years have been recorded. In July 2016, employees of the Caucasus Reserve and the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences conducted a joint expedition to the lake with sampling of bottom sediments and taking bathymetric measurements. The expedition was led by Nobel Prize winner, member of the expert council of the Crystal Compass national award, director of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences Olga Solomina.

Radiocarbon study of the bottom of Lake Huco, conducted in the laboratory of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences and at the American Center for Isotope Research at the University of Georgia, showed that Lake Huco (as of 2016) is 9280 years old! It turned out to be much older than expected. Some scientists believed that its age is 250-300 years. There are very few such ancient lakes in the Western Caucasus. These are Karakel in the city of Teberda, Lake Khorlakel in Western Elbrus, and now Lake Khuko.

There is another unsolved riddle connected with the lake – these are half-meter colored drawings of two fish, which are depicted on the eastern slope of the lake basin on two vertically standing megaliths. One shows a fish in color. On the second, you can also see a rock drawing, but it is impossible to see it because of the thick moss covering the stone. Ancient pictures date back to the Middle Ages, and according to some researchers they are 1000-1500 years old, and it is doubly strange why the fish is depicted where it is not found.

There are only two such color images in the Caucasus: one – the face of Christ in the mountains of Lower Arkhyz, the other – the fish of Lake Khuko. Photo: Dmitry Andreev

– There are only two such color images in the Caucasus: one – the face of Christ in the mountains of Lower Arkhyz, the other – the fish of Lake Khuko. How did they appear, who depicted them, how did colored paints survive even in the thickets of lichen that covered the old image in places? Were these ancient fish found in the lake, or were they just a figment of the imagination of an unknown artist? These questions remain unanswered for a long time. So far, there is only an assumption that the drawings on the rocks near Lake Huko were created during the period of early Christianity , – said Sergey Trepet, a leading researcher at the Caucasian State Biosphere Reserve.

Until now, the lake continues to keep its unsolved mysteries in peace and tranquility and is waiting for its explorers.

Description Photos (28) How to get there

Reviews (0) Master plan Interview with developer

June 25, 2021

See all photos Cottage villages. It is located in the village of Grechukhino, Gromovsky rural settlement, Priozersky district, Leningrad region. The project has been suspended. Communications have been postponed until the summer of 2022.

Chamber village – there are only 11 plots in it. The areas start from 16 acres and reach 40 acres. Type of permitted use – DNP. All plots are located on the first line of the lake.

The communications package will include an open sewerage system, electricity (15 kW per site), a primary fire extinguishing system, as well as roads coated with granite chips (GPS). The territory of the Khrustalnaya Gavan checkpoint will be fenced, and a checkpoint with a gate will be set up at the entrance. There is a private sandy beach, to which a path leads from the checkpoint. The beach is suitable for sports games, family picnics and other activities.

Infrastructure facilities are located in nearby settlements: grocery stores operate in Krasnoarmeisky and Solovyovka, entertainment centers and restaurants in Losevo, and pharmacies, kindergartens and schools in Gromovo.

You can get to the object from St. Petersburg by your own car along the A-121 Sortavala highway (Novopriozerskoye Highway). With an average traffic load, a one-way trip takes 1 hour. At the same time, it is worth remembering possible traffic jams and laying extra time. Buses depart from Devyatkino metro station, and electric trains depart from Ploshad Lenina and Devyatkino metro stations. They stop at the Gromovo railway station, 12 km away from the village.

The sites of KP “Khrustalnaya Gavan” are located on the shore of Lake Komsomolskoye. It is used by locals as a place for fishing, swimming and water sports. In addition, the immediate surroundings are forest, where mainly pines grow. In general, the environmental situation is favorable and does not cause concern. There are no industrial enterprises and solid waste dumps nearby.

This developer has many projects for different tastes and budgets. The company copes with them quite confidently, so about Crystal Harbor we have no doubts. Buyers can take local sites without fear of a dirty trick.

This village is a purely dacha format. Far enough from St. Petersburg not to experience the harmful effects of the metropolis. Beautiful nature: a forest, a lake – and all this is at hand, no need to go anywhere else. In general, this is the charm of the Priozersky district and the advantage of many local projects. “Crystal Harbor” is just the case when everything came together very well. We also note the transport component. Most of the way to the village, the road goes along the high-speed section of the Sortavala highway – wide, with divided oncoming lanes. Only after Vuoksa a small section of the road will have to be driven along the old highway, but it is also in good condition and, moreover, it is not long to go. After turning to Krasnoarmeiskoye, the road is also quite decent. So you can drive almost to the village itself without fear for your car. Difficulties, as a rule, arise at Sortavala on weekends in the summer season, when the townspeople leave St. Petersburg for nature and return back. Sunday evening traffic jams in front of the Ring Road are common. The inhabitants of Khrustalnaya Gavan have an alternative option in case of emergency: get to the Gromovo railway station and from there take a train to St. Petersburg.

The cottage village we are considering is not an option for everyone. According to its characteristics and prices, the project is quite consistent with the business class. It is very compact, almost a club. At the same time, the plots are large – there is where to turn around to organize everything as you like, and there will be no neighbors nearby, no one will interfere with anyone. Of the shortcomings, one can only name a limited set of communications.

In terms of the cost of land, the village is included in the group of the most expensive by the standards of the Priozersky district. And given that plots in Crystal Harbor start from 16 acres, even the most modest local households will not be cheap. In the vastness of the region there are now about thirty villages, where a hundred square meters will be offered cheaper. But it is clear that not all locations are so attractive.

Sales started recently. At the end of June, out of 11 sites presented in the village, three were booked, eight were free. On Komsomolskoye Lake, options are now available in two more villages: Komsomolskoye Lake and Solovyovskie Dachas. In both cases, a hundred square meters are offered cheaper, but the plots are also mostly large, so that households also come out not very budget-friendly. More expensive than in the “Crystal Harbor”, a hundred square meters are offered in the KP “Your Bay”, which is on the banks of the Vuoksa in Losevo. There are still options on the shores of the neighboring Lake Otradnoe: in the KP Ostapovka weave is offered both cheaper and more expensive – depending on the site, and in Otradnaya Bay (another project of the FACT Cottage Villages company) prices are lower.

Academy of riders 3. Soul (SI)

In our electronic library you can read online for free the book Academy of riders 3. Soul (SI) – Anishkina Zoya, Anishkina Zoya.

Animya with a wild cry went into the bowels of my mind. I even shuddered, it was so sensitive. She closed her eyes, and then collected her thoughts and pointed to the green-eyed man in the central chair, which was empty after our departure.

Xavier looked at me and walked slowly in the direction he had set. Immediately, his step became more sedate, and his posture more crooked. The old dragon is an experienced person, he begins to prepare the rear in advance.

Will he insist that he is poor, weak and unhappy? It’s unlikely to work with me. I really know how much energy this man has. Therefore, let him not pretend to be what he is not.

Silence reigned. Everyone looked at Montesorri, then at me with obvious incomprehension, Frowning, and only one Tim looked relaxed. Trusts. Nicely.

From the realization of this, warmth spread from below. I suddenly realized that no matter who life brought me into contact with, there were very few people who truly believed in me.

Relatives are deleted immediately. Didn’t make friends. Vita is not human. Perhaps, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, grandvidera and Passion will close the list of those who did not put a spoke in my wheels. But this is also a relative conclusion.

And here I asked him to be honest with me, to be mine, and he just became. When this happens, I want to give a person a hundred times more. Let me know how valuable this is to me.

– Well, what will we talk about? As I understand it, all of you are not here to discuss the attack. The topic is so important that your conversations were carried throughout the Academy.

She glanced at people with her signature look. It had changed somewhat due to the dragon irises, but was still deadly. Are they yelling at the whole castle about the seventh policy?!

Oh, no control over them! That is OK. While such power is in my hands, I will teach them the mind-reason. You have to, even if you don’t really want to. Xavier answered:

– Remember, you once gave me a task. About a strange white spot on the maps between the desert, mountains and the sea. There is also a lake, most likely.

Emolius made a strange grunting sound. He looked at me with such a look, as if seeing me for the first time. Yes, dearest great-grandfather, I still can’t do it. Only I don’t embroider with ancient patterns, but excuse me here. Who studied for whom.

Montessori wasn’t surprised at all. I think he either suspected or knew something a long time ago. He is at the Academy someone like Johnson’s faith with his collection of fairy tales and dragons. Just don’t advertise your knowledge. He answered cautiously:

– I remember.

Rolled her eyes and looked at him in annoyance. Dear Academician! What kind of circus performance are you doing here?

– Academician Montessorri, spare my time and nerves. Let’s not pretend to be a great intriguer here. Spread it. And I, perhaps, will paint your story with my guesses.

The man pursed his lips and made such an expression on his face that it became clear that he was just getting ready for a special performance and wanted to impress. And indeed:

– You don’t respect old age at all. You deprive the old man of his last joy. But anyway, I’ll start.

His grumbling left no one indifferent except me. I was ready for such attacks. Boring, predictable and trivial. Nothing new. She crossed her arms in front of her and waited for the beginning.

The rest of the impatience almost stretched their heads out of their necks, but did not dare to break our dialogue. Yes, even our Supremes, who seemed to be interested in investigating the seventh policy in a special way. I would like to know why.

Xavier Montesorri cleared his throat, shifted in his chair, savoring his moments of glory, and finally began. And then I already thought that I would grow old here.

– A long time ago, I noticed that there are a lot of strange legends about a place called the Valley of the Lake. This lake is also called Khrustalny.

Frozen. I did not know such legends. Age still makes itself felt at such moments. Although, what is there, I simply had no one to tell these legends. My childhood was a little… peculiar.

Praise be to the ruling saints, no one was in a hurry to interrupt the academician. And thanks for that. He continued:

– This place is shrouded in a heap of secrets, and it would undoubtedly remain only a legend, if somehow in class one overly stubborn and diligent adept did not point out to me a curious anomaly.

It was my turn to be surprised. So I kind of became the catalyst for his interest in the location of the seventh policy? Yes, okay. .. She quietly said:

– I don’t believe it, Academician. Are you pushing your own interest onto me? Seriously?

He shook his head in annoyance and changed his tone. Finally. And then at such a pace we will sit here for several days:

‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‍– Imagine, adept Sicil! I heard about this place, I knew its descriptions, but I never received confirmation of its existence. And here you are with your questions, and I decided to delve into the problem.

He took a breath and continued:

– Indeed, a place on the border of three policies: Solitdara, Monstdara and Ihtramar, very remote from people, fits the description of Crystal Lake. I can only assume that what you are looking for is in there. The only question is what is it about.

Oh. I can’t stand it when adult uncles turn on the imbial. Me too! He heard screams, but what they shouted – no! But I don’t think I’m the only one who lost patience today. Passy exclaimed:

– Don’t pull the dragon for you know what! Seventh policy! What can you say about the seventh policy?

The academician frowned. Well, yes, here you are not a handful of subordinate adherents. Here a star sits on a star and drives the Supreme Ruler. You just won’t get through.

– I think this is where the policy really is. I heard this one a couple of times,” he pointed towards Emolius, “talking about freedoms and the possibility of creating a wonderful place. A couple of times he let slip about his own house. I concluded that the venerable former rector did not live in one of the six policies. Then the question arose where, well, and …

He spread his hands, looking at me. To be honest, I expected more. Weak guesses. But it will. I started:

– I’m sure this policy is there. I saw this place in the labyrinth room where my great-grandfather was kept, he confessed to me himself. I also think that the third crystal dragon lives in this lake. Or the first. In general, Spiraea and its location, most likely, is the great secret of the seventh policy. He puts these special blocks. And they are led by someone special.

Silence reigned. Everyone digested what was said. We thought and pondered, and in their eyes I saw how important the topic has become for all of us. After I resolve the issue with the killer in Solitdar, I will certainly go to visit my colleagues, so to speak.

I think Anima would be glad to see her brother. It is so? Silence was my answer. I met my grandmother’s eyes and realized from her eyes that almost everything that was said was on point. Well, great. She was about to ask who else had any thoughts when Eva raised her hand and stood up.

Looking straight into my eyes, she calmly said:

– I’m pretty sure that when you talk about the ruler of the seventh polis, it’s about my mother. Tris and Tobias know her well and used to communicate actively before I showed up.

Chapter 32. Mimi

Wow. I did not expect such a turn. So here’s the thing! That’s for whom such a panic and a desire to get all the information out of the granny. What can I say, I understand.

– Therefore, I ask you to interrogate Minerva Liberadar.

Twenty-five again! She rolled her eyes. Who is talking about what, but the unloved and abandoned child is about the mother. The mystery of mother Eva Ovayo is the mystery of the century. The most famous horsewoman in the world, the star of circus shows! An unsurpassed and chic woman who suddenly disappeared at the very peak of her career.

Her main fan was sitting here right now. In Museonis, Passius set aside a whole huge cave to honor his beloved. There, Eva realized that she was not really an orphan.
