About the book: 2020 / Master Cray really disliked me. No, the fact that he, a battle mage, does not like theorists is a known fact. But it was necessary to send me to such an utter distance for an internship? So okay, if only this torment was worth it. But it turned out that the kind residents of a distant outlying town have their own plans for the sent trainee, which do not include a long and peaceful stay in the city. But is this a reason for sadness? The internship ended ahead of schedule, and we still need to get back to the academy, so why not take a shortcut through the Forgotten Desert? At the same time, you can look for treasures and unravel a couple of mysteries of the Forgotten City. By pure chance, there was a place for me in the search team.
