Chapter 24 - Last Kuruş 

And after seven hours, the dwarf had been sweating and his interests had been inactivated, and he is afraid to interrupt him lest he is killed by a heretic who did not fear the laws of the gods themselves, and the twenty travelers had left the pub and circled around the arguing knight, and he continued:

"114: I am a guest and you are a resident, so who among us has a right over the other?

115: I love my horse, if it died, I would have committed suicide after it. Do you love any creature that much?

116: I am (Hazad) the owner of (Seolo), he asks you Do you want to accept the ten coppery dwarves? Or should we start a second round of dialogue?"

The heretic usually concludes the first hundred arguments with this question, but Hazad increased his sixteen again with enthusiasm. The travelers said in anger: "Accept, Khaqan, this knight lost the effect of what we drank from (Coral Roots), and now only (Rain Butter) horns will make up for us.".

The knight said with a smile: "But a barrel of oriental olive wine, that we love in the Valley of Armored Horses, and let them be at my expense for all those present."

They all shouted in delight, patting him on the shoulder with happiness and amiability, so that (Khaqan) face was congested because the cost of the barrel is 10 dwarves, meaning that the knight will take care of his horse in addition to a free barrel for the same price, and he said angry and indignant until the ridiculous situation ends: "I accepted ten damn dwarves, but you will sleep on the floor, there are not enough beds." They yelled again and laughed, as they graciously escorted the knight to the barroom, and he declared his consent to this lodging, for the most important to him, was (Seolo).

He hands (Khakan) the required coins, and the shape of the coin is a circle with uneven edges, a small percentage of copper, and the rest iron. In the background are the two moons, and in the foreground are 11 points representing the eleven known continents.

It is the second-worst of the five copper coins, outweighed by the importance of the two coins: the silver Bison and the silver Roc, then the golden Kuruş sits on the throne.

Hazad spent a good night and was assured of the comfort of his horse and his recovery of strength, as he will need it a lot to reach his journey to the west after his success in killing (Aynur).

He'll need it to free his girlfriend (Wasnana) who's locked up in the prisons of Khawan.

He did not like cowardly killing, which killers of Melted-Face are good at, as there is no honor in it. Instead, he prefers courageous confrontation and putting his eyes in the gazes of those whose hearts will get scabies {A metaphor for death in the Orioumic expression}, but his need for golden kuruses to ransom (Wasnana) became his hope in this life, and he will do everything to bring those kuruses, and one of them was collected in advance from (Delgis), to sign an agreement to take revenge for the spirit of the minister (Rafiq), in a fit of greed, after he thought that the minister was unknown, in a small kingdom, not comparable to huge walls, for example (Al-Ayma) and (Khawan) and (Stinger of the Scorpion), for example, but what he did not expect happened. The minister was killed by a noble girl.

He is forced to carry out the agreement because he is unable to face the revenge of witches, from which neither human nor jinn in the whole Waste World can escape.

He can fight for years, but his whole life will not be enough to eliminate all the Coppery Armies until he reaches the Tower of (Khawan), and takes out (Wasnana) alive, and the quickest solution is to pay her ransom. Three golden kuruses, as decided by the Khawan authorities. "Those greedy boars." So think. He was not cursing the Masters, because the nickname of khawanian is (Boars). But deep down, he shouted their title with the intention of insulting them.

She also cursed (Moranch Kohr), the emperor of Boars, the lord of Masters, and the king of the coppery lands. One of his drunken soldiers broke the pitcher of milk that she was trading, and when she slapped him, he rap*d her.

Of course, the soldier was tortured and killed in a terrifying way, Hazad alone knows how and where it happened, but (Wasnana) continued to curse the soldier, the entire coppery army, and their emperor day after day, as a result of the injustice she was subjected to, so her penalty was arrest.

He will set her free at all costs, and will not allow her to work in Coppery Lands again, but will marry her and bring her to the Valley of Armored Horses. He knows she will agree, the dark prisons of Khawan are horrible, and surviving them is exactly like getting out of hell.

He collected his first Kuruş after dozens of secret assassinations and killings and collected the entire second in one direct deal with (Delgis), and the third left... with him a lot of Coppery Planets now, undivided and small change, about a hundred after paying the ten dwarves... So 525 remains To complete twenty-five silver roc or a full golden Kuruş... Third.

Good things come to those who wait.

All he has to do now is finish the operation Aynur, to start collecting the last Kuruş.
