- 0:08Tell me the truth. If you want to live, why are you
- 0:13here? Who's with you and who on earth
- 0:17are you? In my dreams that unfold like a
- 1:35double Helix, I've asked myself that question countless times,
- 1:40but up until now, there has been no answer, only endless flowing
- 1:46quicksand cover. Remember
- 2:43Barry I. Are you all right?
- 2:57Yeah. Get some more sleep.
- 3:00I won't leave. I'll be right here when you wake
- 3:02up. It's OK, we should get down the
- 3:07mountain and head to the village.
- 3:09You want to go back? There have been roars coming
- 3:12from there for days. I was thinking if we could make
- 3:15it home and grab our weapons and and with your strength, you'll
- 3:20find a way out. No one's going to save us no
- 3:24matter how long we stay here anyway.
- 3:26Let's go then. Watch your step.
- 4:15Hey, you're not fully recovered. Are you sure you can do this?
- 4:20I'm OK, it's just a few scratches.
- 4:23Don't push. The village is in dead silence,
- 5:18I'm afraid. They've probably, I mean,
- 5:23they've probably scarpered off by boat.
- 5:25We should hurry home and get. We're unarmed right now, we have
- 5:29to avoid those fill. The village is in dead silence,
- 5:37I'm afraid. They've probably, I mean,
- 5:41they've probably scarpered off by both.
- 5:44We should hurry home and get the weapons and then get to the
- 5:46Wharf. It's still dangerous here.
- 5:49We're unarmed right now, we have to avoid those filthoids as much
- 5:53as possible. Almost there.
- 5:55It's up ahead. Take that sword with you.
- 5:58It might be helpful one day. Hey, they didn't even leave one
- 7:08single boat. You were at the village when the
- 7:11Filthoids came, weren't you? If it wasn't for coming back for
- 7:15me, you could have escaped with them.
- 7:18Don't be silly, you'd have done the same for me.
- 7:21Let's search along the shore and see if they're.
- 7:24These are someone must have lost them when they ran away.
- 7:33Take it. It's always good to be well
- 7:35armed. No chance we're leaving by sea.
- 7:52Guess we'll have to count on that thing.
- 7:56Listen, there's actually another ship on this island up in the
- 8:01mountain ruins. A ship on the mountain.
- 8:07Yes, a ship that flies. Now follow me.
- 8:31More filthoids are coming. Stay close.
- 8:35If necessary, give out the secret signal.
- 8:38We make them up earlier so as not to alert the filthoids up
- 8:41the mountain. Yes.
- 8:46Oh, a quick check. 2 taps on the right shoulder means.
- 8:51Watch your back. And two taps on the chest come
- 8:58closer and scrape them on the nose.
- 9:05Everything's OK now. Go ahead and the last one.
- 9:10Three quick blinks. Remember 3 quick blinks names.
- 9:24I'm not interested in that signal and I won't remember it
- 9:27anyway. So the key is this sword.
- 11:15Yes, your sword was never meant to.
- 11:21Let's head towards the top of the mountain.
- 11:23There used to be an airship. There if it's still.
- 11:25Around we might be able to make it out.
- 11:58Are these filthoids dead? Seeing someone had a fight with
- 12:03them just before they arrived. Could it be 1 of the villagers?
- 12:08No, we were the first to open that door.
- 12:11Anyway, thanks to that person, you don't have to deal with
- 12:15these. It seems someone used to live
- 12:17here. This was your home.
- 12:20Hey. Am I right, Barry?
- 12:23I Yes and no. It was our home.
- 12:32Our home, but I don't remember a thing.
- 12:36It's OK, maybe it's all for the best.
- 12:40After we make it out, we'll build a new home.
- 13:36The ship is at the mountain top. After a short break, we'll push
- 13:41on. Can't believe we'll be saying
- 13:45goodbye to Purgatorio Island soon.
- 13:50You. Creatures just can't give us a
- 13:52break. Can you tear you apart?
- 14:03Surrender. Tear you apart, Surrender.
- 14:15Surrender. Tear you apart,
- 14:45Surrender how? Many of them are there.
- 14:50Let's get to the top to shake them off,
- 15:38We've been searching for years. When will the Chief give up this
- 15:41pointless hunt? Who's there?
- 15:44Lay down your arms. You're surrounded by the 13th
- 15:47Legion. How come?
- 15:51What happened? The Legion, They found their way
- 15:57here. So anyway, we've got to break
- 16:00out first. They must be up to something.
- 16:06Tear you apart. Surrender.
- 16:15Is this your idea of accurate Intel?
- 16:18Randy, You gave me your word. The soldiers did their best with
- 16:26the Filthoids. These are indeed unforeseen
- 16:30circumstances, but we did find something valuable on this
- 16:33island today. Our chemical tool she has used
- 16:37and an airship with a Legion serial number on it.
- 16:40You realize we're looking for #0 not this useless junk, right?
- 16:46We've been searching for over a decade, but a maritime unit
- 16:51intercepted several of the villagers vessels.
- 16:53They might be able to dig up some with those gunshots.
- 16:58Randy. Yes, ma'am.
- 17:11You. Can't get away?
- 17:29Tear you apart. Tear you apart.
- 17:36Surrender. Tell me the truth.
- 20:51If you want to live, why are you here?
- 20:55Who's with you and who on earth are you?
- 21:08That's how it happened. The filthoids attacked you for
- 21:18no reason after you came here and you managed to open the
- 21:23hidden path by chance. Is that really your story?
- 21:32We're telling the truth. Let her go.
- 21:37Chief Sybil, we've checked her spinal structure and confirmed
- 21:41that she's the #0 we've been looking for.
- 21:57Fortune has finally smiled upon me.
- 22:01Take her back. As for him?
- 22:12No. Don't take her.
- 22:22Remember, you must remember your power, power of resonance,
- 23:14That is, number 7 is not supposed to release all her
- 23:18powers yet. Why?
- 23:19No, that's not her power. It's resonance that perhaps
- 23:26she's trying to protect. That's the new receptacle for
- 23:31the power of resonance. Come to think of it, whose face
- 23:35was the reappearance of the power of resonance?
- 23:39And #0 together, what was possibly mean?
- 23:45Farewell. Hang in there, I got you.
- 24:25Barry. Give it up #0 Even the toughest
- 24:30maid has its breaking point. Come back with me and you'll
- 24:35live. So will this kid you care so
- 24:38much about. Otherwise he will give me your
- 24:42word. I'll go back with you, but you
- 24:47have to promise to let him go. Give me your word or you can
- 24:53take 2 corpses back. Perhaps I wasn't clear.
- 24:57This is not a negotiation, it's an order.
- 25:02Barry, get out. Of here but left.
- 25:17Quick question, the three quick blinks means.
- 25:23I've got this Berry. Three quick blinks means.
- 25:30Even. Left all alone, you should be
- 25:33brave and live on. Until the day we meet again.
- 25:54You're back. destiny will pose the ultimate
- 27:01test. Are you saying I'm still alive?
- 27:16It's time to set off. Life is like a lonely cruise
- 27:26through the boundless darkness of the night.
- 27:30The river weeps, overflowing its banks, while the thorny thickets
- 27:36on either side stand as a testament to its sorrow.
- 27:45I'll keep watching over you, the one across the shore, to see
- 27:51where you're going. This is my first time in the
- 28:37cosatus. Province is this How many?
- 28:40People here show their hospitality.
- 28:45I don't want to bother you, I just want to strike a small
- 28:49bargain. I'll pay you whatever you want
- 28:54and all you have to do well it. Will be a piece of cake.
- 29:04Hello. Hello.
- 29:07Can you hear me? Camilla?
- 29:15Look, he has woken up. Alive and not incapacitated.
- 29:24No broken bones then. Who are you?
- 29:29How do you know my name? Barry, Where are we?
- 29:34No, we were. I must find Barry.
- 29:39If it weren't for me, she would have managed to escape from
- 29:42those soldiers. Maybe.
- 29:46Hey, are you? Even listening, Camilla and Snow
- 29:50have come all this way to save you.
- 29:52You better come with us to the city right now, or else you'll
- 29:56soon become a snack for some wandering belt voids. 2 the
- 30:03city. Got a fright, huh?
- 30:06No worries, you'll be safe in a jiffy.
- 30:09Ice Lake is the largest city in northern Hyperborea.
- 30:15Hyperborea, I'm in the Hyperborean Empire.
- 30:22Well, yeah, what's the big deal? Do you know this woman called
- 30:27Sybil? Others refer to her as the Chief
- 30:31and she's supposed to be in this country.
- 30:32I need to find her. Civil is a common name, but
- 30:38there's only one that's linked with the title Chief.
- 30:41You want to find her? How did you lose your mind to
- 30:44the Blizzard? I thought carons are supposed to
- 30:47be resistant to cold temperatures.
- 30:51I'm serious. She might have taken something
- 30:55that's very important to me, so I must find her and get to the
- 30:59bottom of it. Espionage, assassination,
- 31:04defiance. What you've just said.
- 31:06The Imperial soldiers could arrest you for these three
- 31:08reasons alone. If you really want to find the
- 31:11Chief, I'd advise you not to rush into it.
- 31:17And for the last time, if you don't want to end up as Filthoid
- 31:20fodder, come with us. I'll go with you.
- 32:05Where are we heading for today's hall?
- 32:15What? You've already heard of my
- 32:17title, Princess. Rubbish Bin.
- 32:21Please don't go along with it. Just call me Margie.
- 32:24No Princess here, just a little scavenger of Ice Lake.
- 33:09The world outside Purgatorio Island defies all accounts, more
- 33:13expansive yet more brutal. Where are we heading for today's
- 33:18hall? The world outside Purgatorio
- 33:28Island defies all accounts more expansive.
- 33:32Where are we heading for to? The world outside.
- 33:49You seem to be all bruises and cuts.
- 33:51Are you all right? I'm fine, pain's gone now.
- 33:57Something really bad must have happened to you.
- 34:00But no worries, you're under my wing now.
- 34:04Snow will protect you. After all, Snow is.
- 34:10Whoa, what is? That over there reputable.
- 34:19Seems like someone's had a bit of a mishap and it's even
- 34:22attracted some belfoids, those nasty monsters.
- 34:28Phew. Thank goodness we took them
- 34:31down. I'm not afraid.
- 34:40I was just worried about that poor driver.
- 34:44Anyway, I have another question. Do you know how far it is from
- 34:52this largest city in northern Hyperborea to Purgatorio Island?
- 35:01It's a small island, should be to.
- 35:07The South of Hyperborea, under a huge heaven tree, right?
- 35:12It's far, far away, over 1500 kilometres from here.
- 36:18City Gate is just up ahead. Follow behind us, we'll get you
- 36:22in and. Keep your mind.
- 36:24Stop right there. Not another check.
- 36:32Don't even remember Camilla and Snow, huh?
- 36:36Looks like your eyes and your brain aren't working very well.
- 36:40Not you, Luno. I was talking to Oi One eye in
- 36:46such a hurry to visit the Security Bureau for tea.
- 36:55You're not from here, are you? Where are you from?
- 36:59Got your travel permit? He's from the South, sent by the
- 37:15Vivar winery to deliver goods. The bridge was slippery, so the
- 37:20cart overturned and some filthoids destroyed this poor
- 37:23thing's cargo and luggage. I'll reapply for the travel
- 37:28permit soon, but the child is quite shaken.
- 37:32Please have mercy on this poor thing.
- 37:35Let him in for a warm meal. Stop it.
- 37:43Whoa, aren't you a bit old to be a crybaby, mate?
- 37:48This would have been a simple matter in the past, Miss
- 37:51Camilla, but you know recently that fork shakens or something
- 37:56is wanted nationwide, so the chief specifically asked for
- 37:59strict security checks across towns.
- 38:10It's the Forsakens, I tell you what.
- 38:14I, Camilla Scarlett on my honour, assure you that he has
- 38:18nothing to do with the Forsakens.
- 38:22All right, I trust you, Miss Camilla.
- 38:25But remember, keep a close eye on this kid and don't let him
- 38:29stir up any trouble in town. If the chief finds out about
- 38:32this, we'll both be in for it. Thank you.
- 38:38Next time you come to the Asphodel, it's on the House.
- 38:56An excellent performance I must say.
- 39:03I'd say you're normally an honest kid.
- 39:06Look. Your hands are still shaking.
- 39:11It's all right. You'll get used to these tricks
- 39:14of survival and no time in a place like this.
- 39:18All right, now that I've brought you in, the deal is fulfilled.
- 39:22I should go back to my Tavern. Stay out of trouble for me, all
- 39:26right? Wait a minute, I'm still quite
- 39:32confused. Then make it quick.
- 39:36Time is money for a merchant. Yep, just yesterday in the pitch
- 39:54black windy evening, a fiend cloaked in white light
- 39:58infiltrated Camilla's Tavern and threatened her.
- 40:04Hmm. Well, a hooded man in a white
- 40:10cloak struck a deal with Camilla to find you and bring you into
- 40:12town. Do you remember what this man
- 40:19looked like? He was covered head to toe.
- 40:23Quite a mysterious figure. You don't know him either?
- 40:28I have no clue. How curious some enigmatic
- 40:34benefactor from nowhere is willing to spend a fortune to
- 40:38save a stranger, but doesn't want to reveal his identity or
- 40:41intention. Someone will pluck you from the
- 40:46briny waters and lead you to a frozen wilderness where destiny
- 40:53will pose the ultimate test. Could it have been the person
- 40:58from my dreams who orchestrated my rescue?
- 41:02But to what? And have I been brought here?
- 41:11Snow just told you, didn't she? It's leagues away.
- 41:16If you're planning to head back there.
- 41:17The southbound train comes with a hefty fare, not to mention the
- 41:21travel expenses. You'd need at least a few 1000
- 41:24silver coins. Even if you'd rather beg your
- 41:29way across the Hyperborean Plains, you'd still need to
- 41:32somehow deal with the inspections in every town you
- 41:34pass. Next time, you might not be so
- 41:37lucky. For all you know, you might well
- 41:41find yourself languishing in prison.
- 41:47Right, going all the way back is no picnic.
- 41:51I must first get some money and, as that soldier mentioned, a
- 41:55travel permit. The 13th Legion is directly
- 42:02under the Emperor's command, with bases in every province.
- 42:06So, Sybil it could be in any part of Hyperborea.
- 42:11The most likely place, though, is the colossal steel bastion in
- 42:16Dysmania, the imperial capital city where you can find the
- 42:20Empire's finest soldiers and an arsenal of every type of
- 42:24conceivable and inconceivable armaments.
- 42:28If Hyperborea is a roaring chariot, that place is its
- 42:32engine, its fiery core. If you want to give it a try, go
- 42:36ahead. You're neither the first nor the
- 42:39last madcap I've seen. So what I'm facing isn't just
- 42:43Sybil, but the empire behind her.
- 42:47Do I stand a chance? But for now at least, I need a
- 42:52Plan B. Let's call it a day.
- 42:56I've been out so long the Asphodel might be in quite the
- 42:59disarray by now. Try and survive on your own.
- 43:07If you can't even do that then don't ever again mention any mad
- 43:10talk about confronting Sybil to get your stuff back.
- 43:15Look, there's an inn up north called the Hypnos House that
- 43:19might take in someone with a sketchy back story like you.
- 43:24You mean that spooky haunted house?
- 43:28Where else would take in a car on without a travel permit but a
- 43:32place that is so creepy even the soldiers didn't want to search?
- 43:37I understand. Thank you.
- 44:45they asked Fidel. There's always someone
- 44:48complaining how even though it's such a big end, the doors are
- 44:52always shut tight every day, turning away any travellers from
- 44:56outside the town, or how the lodgers seem to never, ever
- 45:01leave. And sometimes there's this
- 45:05really weird smell drifting from the inside of the house, and how
- 45:10the innkeeper's face is colder than the waters of Lamenting
- 45:13Lake. It's as if he's not running an
- 45:16inn, but a coffin shop. Here we are.
- 45:29Who is it? I am the pure white Redeemer,
- 45:34demon king of light. Listen well this person.
- 45:50Hold on, please, Miss Camilla Scarlett told me to come to this
- 45:55place. I was hoping to stay here for a
- 45:57few days. Would that be possible?
- 46:16Woman's misplaced compassion knows no bounds.
- 46:20All right then let's see it the price you're willing to pay.
- 46:33Haven't got any money, I'll find a way to then get lost.
- 46:42You're so rude. A real disgrace to Ice Lake.
- 46:58Let's leave snow. Mr. Henrik, I'm back.
- 47:05I just tidied up the house again and it's all set be.
- 47:09Careful. Are you a new lodger?
- 47:19Just a penniless outsider looking for a place to stay.
- 47:23I was about to kick him out. An outsider, but if you kick him
- 47:30out, won't he be homeless? That's none of your concern.
- 47:39But the house is still unsold anyway.
- 47:44Lending it to him for one night wouldn't hurt, right?
- 47:49He can pay you back when he can. That way we get a little extra
- 47:53cash for basically nothing. If you keep being so cold to
- 47:58everyone, you'll never find a buyer for that place.
- 48:03You fine have it your way then, but just for one night.
- 48:14Come morning you must go wherever you're supposed to.
- 48:20Understood. The house is to the South.
- 48:25Follow me. Yeah, here we are.
- 48:41This room has just been cleaned up.
- 48:44You can stay here tonight. Cool.
- 48:50Don't be upset. Mr. Henrik isn't really that
- 48:54greedy. It's just we've been quite
- 48:57strapped for cash lately. Otherwise he wouldn't consider
- 49:01selling his old house to make ends meet.
- 49:05It's been neglected for years. But after a good clean, it's not
- 49:09half bad, right? At least it keeps out the chill.
- 49:14Oh, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Psyche, A lodger at the
- 49:21Hypnos house, and sometimes I help Mr. Henrik out.
- 49:29That's quite an uncommon name in this city, Mr. Henrik mentioned.
- 49:35You're not a local. Where are you from?
- 49:40Your outfit is a new site for me.
- 49:43A. Small island, far, far to the
- 49:47South. The South, I know it.
- 49:53It's a place with Four Seasons, including spring, and an island.
- 50:00You must have. Seen the ocean?
- 50:03I've heard it's even bigger than 100 lamenting lakes put together
- 50:20of. Course not.
- 50:22We lunar folks aren't as fragile as you.
- 50:25We don't get hungry so easily. Are you hungry?
- 50:31I'll get you something to eat. Be right back.
- 50:39Who'd have thought such a rude and gloomy innkeeper would have
- 50:42such a nice and helpful kid working for him?
- 50:46Thanks to her, we finally found a place to stay.
- 50:49Let's rest a bit. I'm quite tired too.
- 52:00Where are we heading for today's hall?
- 52:31Where are we heading for? Are you inviting me on a date?
- 52:36Let's go. Are you inviting me on what?
- 52:39A romantic encounter? Was this the God of Love's work?
- 52:45I'm Rebecca, a perfumer. Let's go.
- 52:55I'm back. So much has happened, weird
- 55:31dreams, a mysterious man in a white cloak, Sybil and #0 they
- 55:39all seem to be connected somehow, but I can't figure it
- 55:43out. The only thing I'm certain of is
- 55:47that I've lost Barry. If she's managed to escape,
- 55:51she'd surely try everything to find me.
- 55:54Of course I can't, it will have the worst case scenario that
- 55:58Sybil has taken her to the leecher.
- 56:01Silver lining is it seemed that Sybil needed Berry for some
- 56:05reason, so she probably wouldn't harm her anyway.
- 56:09We need to scrape together some money in the ice lake, get a
- 56:13travel permit and then plan for my next move.
- 56:17I'm back. You must be starving.
- 56:21Here's some freshly baked bread. Berry.
- 56:30Are you all right? I'm fine, just so hungry that I
- 56:39accidentally bit my tongue. It hurts so.
- 56:44Then you'd better eat some bread and wash it down with warm milk.
- 56:49That'll make you feel better. Be careful, don't bite your
- 56:53tongue again. Thank you, Psyche.
- 56:58Are you sad? Huh.
- 57:02Why? I can feel it.
- 57:06Even though you're trying to put on a smile, you're not happy.
- 57:12I'm a bit curious about what you've been through, but Mr.
- 57:16Henrik told me not to pry into our guests pasts.
- 57:21Anyway, you can take a good rest here and think about what to do
- 57:26next. Thank you, Psyche.
- 57:32I need to ask you something. I need some money.
- 57:36Is there any place in the city where an outsider might find
- 57:39work without too many questions asked about their past?
- 57:43Let. Me see, most people here work in
- 57:49the factories, but they all asked to see a travel permit.
- 57:56Well, there's perhaps one place you could try Miss Camilla
- 58:01Scarlett's Tavern, The Asphodel. You can take up commissions with
- 58:06handsome rewards there, but those commissions are often
- 58:12quite dangerous. You might have to go to places
- 58:16even the local escort would avoid, and you might encounter
- 58:20some wandering filthoids. Camilla Scarlett.
- 58:25We met her today, though I had no idea that her Tavern also
- 58:29runs this sort of business. It's OK, I can handle it.
- 58:35Can you take me there? Huh.
- 58:39After all this running around, you're going back to Camilla.
- 58:43Then count snow in. Snow's more than familiar with
- 58:47that place. Hey, hey, you.
- 59:52Who is it? A girl who looks just like snow.
- 1:00:05Who are you calling girl The the younger generation nowadays is
- 1:00:12so disrespectful. You should watch what you say.
- 1:00:18Although our Lunarians look young, she's actually as old as
- 1:00:21your great, great grandmother. Very well, I'll let it slide
- 1:00:40this time. Actually, I caught a whiff of
- 1:00:47something remarkable as you passed by just now.
- 1:00:53Oh, that's right, it's the scent of a legendary weapon.
- 1:00:56Do you have any special weapons on you kiddo?
- 1:01:02Weapon. This sword is all I have.
- 1:01:17Amazing. That's incredible.
- 1:01:21Look at the texture and the craftsmanship.
- 1:01:25This clearly wasn't made by those mediocre hyperboreum
- 1:01:28blacksmiths. Where did you get it?
- 1:01:37I'm not sure this sword has been with me as long as I can
- 1:01:45remember. Maybe it was passed down to me
- 1:01:49by my parents. Intriguing, very intriguing.
- 1:01:56I've been a blacksmith my whole life.
- 1:01:58Yet I've never seen a weapon like this before.
- 1:02:04Kiddo, I'm Luno Smith, a wandering blacksmith.
- 1:02:09Would you mind if I accompanied you on your journey?
- 1:02:15I've travelled all over the land from Hyperborea to Elysium and I
- 1:02:19forced countless weapons. If you require any weapons, I'm
- 1:02:24at your disposal. Wow.
- 1:02:29So you're an experienced master blacksmith.
- 1:02:36All I request is a basic salary and an opportunity to examine
- 1:02:40your sword. Got any foraging plans, kiddo?
- 1:03:51My hammer is eager to unleash it's might.
- 1:04:08Phew, here you go. The forging went smoothly this
- 1:04:12time. What do you think?
- 1:04:23Awesome. You're truly amazing.
- 1:04:30I've seen many who resemble you and Snow.
- 1:04:33Are they also Lunos? Did you come from a remote
- 1:04:38village or something kiddo? Yes, my hometown isn't a big
- 1:04:46city. That explains it.
- 1:04:52In all my travels, wherever there are humans, Lunos can
- 1:04:56always be found. It's quite uncommon to come
- 1:04:59across Someone Like You who's never heard of us.
- 1:05:07We share a similar appearance, everyone is as attractive as me
- 1:05:12and we live very long lives. Like the master blacksmith,
- 1:05:19every Luno has a particular Forte.
- 1:05:26Wow. Then do you have any unique
- 1:05:28talents, Snow? Yeah, of course I do.
- 1:05:42As you can see, I have demonic appendages on my head.
- 1:05:46No other Lunos have these. Indeed, in all my years, I've
- 1:05:55never seen a Luna with horns like those.
- 1:05:58You look just like those human carons.
- 1:06:05So I'm Luno, the demon king, different and unique.
- 1:06:10Perhaps I was meant to lead the Lunos and dominate the world.
- 1:06:18Oh, that's quite the ambition. Unfortunately, most Lunos lack
- 1:06:26ambition. They'd rather follow the humans
- 1:06:29and are content with just a few words of appreciation.
- 1:06:32But for me, I want so much more. My little minion, you must stick
- 1:06:40with me. After I conquer the world,
- 1:06:42you'll be the leader of my legion.
- 1:06:44Just you wait and see. Wow, so unique and different
- 1:07:03from other Lunas. None.
- 1:10:08The Asphodel is just to the South.
- 1:10:11Come on, snow will be waiting for you in the square.
- 1:10:18Your travel permit? Are you deaf?
- 1:10:23Show me your travel permit. Sorry Sir, I'm a bit slow at
- 1:10:30this age. Please bear with me for a
- 1:10:34moment. Here it is.
- 1:10:43Is this you in the photo, you old codger?
- 1:10:47Yes, Sir. How come it looks more like a
- 1:10:53mongrel to me? Oi, why don't you give us a
- 1:10:58buck? No, don't.
- 1:11:20What are you looking at, you little twerp?
- 1:11:24Stay out of trouble for me, all right?
- 1:11:31Father you. Bastard.
- 1:11:35No. What do you think you're doing?
- 1:11:56Let's leave. There's something important you
- 1:12:00should know if you're from somewhere afar.
- 1:12:05Remember, whatever you do, never anger the salarians.
- 1:12:12The salarians? You mean the ones without horns?
- 1:12:17What's so special about them? Or is it that we are the special
- 1:12:22ones? Yes, here in Hyperborea we, the
- 1:12:29Carons with our unique appearance, are different from
- 1:12:34the Solas. They even call us demons,
- 1:12:40children. Speaking of which, Snow is super
- 1:12:46mad. Whenever those humans talk about
- 1:12:50stuff like demons, children, and magic, they always give such
- 1:12:54dirty looks. Just like when Camilla sees a
- 1:12:58drunken brawl in the Asphodel, but it's actually the demons
- 1:13:02children who are being bullied by them.
- 1:13:08Thank you Snow, but the fact remains we are unwelcome here,
- 1:13:16so be extra careful when dealing with Solas.
- 1:13:20That soldier back there, even after committing such a brutal
- 1:13:25act, the only consequence he will face is merely A demotion
- 1:13:30labeled as an accidental mistake.
- 1:13:34We've seen stuff like this many, many times until everyone gets
- 1:13:40so used to it. Such things are commonplace in
- 1:13:44this place. They are just as ordinary as the
- 1:13:48fact that Carons aren't allowed to enter the inner city of Ice
- 1:13:52Lake or leave the Empire. As ordinary as flowers
- 1:13:57withering, lakes freezing over and snow melting in the hearth.
- 1:14:04This makes returning to Purgatorio Island even more
- 1:14:06challenging. Why is it like this?
- 1:14:11The Solas of Hyperborea believe the Carons who wield magic are
- 1:14:17evil sorcerers, the greatest threat to their peaceful lives.
- 1:14:23But you can't always just suck it.
- 1:14:26Why not use your magic on them and boom make them cry like
- 1:14:30babies? Oh seriously, that makes me so
- 1:14:33mad. Around 18 or 19 years ago,
- 1:14:45Carons in the Empire once waged a war.
- 1:14:49I wasn't born then and people really talk about it.
- 1:14:54All I know is that the war ended in a crushing defeat for Carons.
- 1:15:00There are people like you who are still struggling to fight
- 1:15:04back, such as the Forsaken, but those fully skilled in magic
- 1:15:12remain A minority. Most Carons are but tillers of
- 1:15:17soil, labourers with calloused hands, St. vendors Hawking their
- 1:15:23wares, the profoundly common, the unsung, ordinary.
- 1:15:30For most, fighting back is too costly.
- 1:15:34Keeping themselves and those they love alive already demands
- 1:15:38every ounce of their strength. I apologise for stopping you
- 1:15:43just now. I just don't want a friend I
- 1:15:47just met to encounter any danger.
- 1:15:49It's. OK I get it now.
- 1:15:55Just unclench your fist, psyche or break the skin if you grip
- 1:15:59any tighter. I.
- 1:16:05Don't worry, I'll act rationally.
- 1:16:09After all, Miss Camilla vouched for me so I could get into the
- 1:16:12city. I can't get her into trouble at
- 1:16:15least. Right, the Aspidel is just up
- 1:16:20ahead. Let's go.
- 1:16:25Annie, Annie. And then out of nowhere he
- 1:17:02ambushed me and pinched. The cash I'd just gotten?
- 1:17:06Oh, that rotter doesn't even spare us scavengers.
- 1:17:09That money was for several families upkeeping the slums.
- 1:17:14Without that bag of coins, all the young and old will have to
- 1:17:17tighten their belts even more next month.
- 1:17:21I have no idea where the thief has run off to.
- 1:17:25I need someone to help me nap him.
- 1:17:28Shouldn't this be something for the Security Bureau to handle?
- 1:17:32Well, by the time the Security Bureau bothers with us Carons,
- 1:17:36the ice in Lamented Lake would have melted away.
- 1:17:40Please Miss Camilla, the kindest and most beautiful lady in Ice
- 1:17:45Lake, Could you maybe ask some of the fox hunters here to lend
- 1:17:50a hand? Just one tiny favour.
- 1:17:54Pretty. Please save it.
- 1:17:58You should know that nothing asked for here comes without a
- 1:18:01price. Well then can you maybe give me
- 1:18:07a discount or I could offer you something else?
- 1:18:11How does it go again? Information is as good as gold
- 1:18:18right? I till with all the rubbish bins
- 1:18:21in Ice Lake. So how about this?
- 1:18:24If I stumble upon any useful info, you'll be the first to
- 1:18:28know. It's you and you're the little
- 1:18:34girl from the phrase psyche, isn't it?
- 1:18:38Yes, Miss. Camilla, I'm staying at the
- 1:18:42Hypnos house for now. I see I'm.
- 1:18:47Here with a friend, he is looking for a job and wants to
- 1:18:52become a fox hunter. Then you came to the right
- 1:18:57place. There's a Commission for fox
- 1:18:59hunters, right? Now.
- 1:19:02Not now, Margie. OK.
- 1:19:10Already made friends? You're quite a charmer, aren't
- 1:19:13you? As for fox Hunters, let's get
- 1:19:18one thing straight. This isn't child's play, nor an
- 1:19:21easy gig. It's true that in this place no
- 1:19:24one would probe into your past or background, but the rewards
- 1:19:27always come with risks. You don't look tough, though.
- 1:19:40Your courage is admirable. You're indeed stronger than the
- 1:19:44average Caron. I've seen you in a fight.
- 1:19:47But brute strength isn't enough to qualify you to be a fox
- 1:19:50hunter. You need to prove that you're
- 1:19:52capable of dealing with all possible contingencies and a
- 1:19:55very mixed group of clients. It just so happens that a chance
- 1:20:01for that came in just now. Oh.
- 1:20:05Right Snow heard that someone swiped this lady's money.
- 1:20:21You'd really help me out, thank you.
- 1:20:27That scoundrel headed West, but you know, Ice Lake is a maze of
- 1:20:31streets, so I can't be sure where he might have gone.
- 1:20:35Let's look for some clues first. Let's.
- 1:20:49Start by searching to the West. The thief had dark hair and was
- 1:20:56wearing a blue top I think. Oh look, it's Mr. Baddie from
- 1:21:05the slums. Maybe he saw something.
- 1:21:10Hello Mr. Baddie, out for a walk?
- 1:21:15Oh, it's our little Princess rubbish bin.
- 1:21:18How's today's hall? I see you've got 2 little
- 1:21:21psychics to help you. I'm not a sidekick, I'm the
- 1:21:26Demon King. OK, so you are the demon king of
- 1:21:33rubbish bin then. It's the Demon King of Light.
- 1:21:41Let's not get hung up on titles for now.
- 1:21:44Mr. Bardi, did you happen to see a Carol man in a blue shirt with
- 1:21:48dark hair just now? In a way, thanks.
- 1:21:59I'm going after him. He meant big bin #3.
- 1:22:05Now come. With me it's.
- 1:22:06Quiet around here. No worries, my detective
- 1:22:11instinct. What?
- 1:22:14Something in the bin? Just making sure he wasn't
- 1:22:18hiding in. Wow.
- 1:22:22Is that half a bottle of wine and an antique pin?
- 1:22:27Wow, aren't you the chosen one, blessed by the gods of rubbish
- 1:22:31bins? But this really isn't the best
- 1:22:35time. Just a SEC.
- 1:22:49They're all set. I'll come back for these later.
- 1:22:53Finders Keepers. I'll share this wine with you
- 1:22:56once we've. Caught the thief.
- 1:23:00I think I'll pass, Thanks. Check this out.
- 1:23:12Two layers of crates against the wall.
- 1:23:15The bottom one is skewed and there are messy footprints all
- 1:23:18over it. It's busted.
- 1:23:23According to the statement of Margie the witness.
- 1:23:26She just straightened these crates when she did her shopping
- 1:23:29at Big bin #3 this morning. That's Margie, The reticent
- 1:23:35detective deduces that desperate thief must have stacked these
- 1:23:38crates to climb the wall. He's likely hiding on the
- 1:23:41rooftop right now. Smart thinking.
- 1:23:47Let's get up there and check it out.
- 1:23:52So, reticent detective, that's your title, Margie.
- 1:23:57Sounds cool. A bit short though, could use
- 1:24:00more punch. Makes sense.
- 1:24:15Any suggestions? Demon King.
- 1:24:17That old man back there called you Princess rubbish bin.
- 1:24:22What? Did you really have to chase me
- 1:24:24all the way up here? You said you were going to share
- 1:24:27the money with the poor anyway, so why can't I get a piece of
- 1:24:30it? If you're hard up, I can help
- 1:24:35you, but you can't just grab money off people.
- 1:24:38That'll earn you a whack on the head with my shovel.
- 1:24:47He's disappeared again. What is he, a ghost?
- 1:24:51He must have ducked into the sewers.
- 1:25:13Oh, it's surprisingly roomy down here, and much warmer than above
- 1:25:18ground. Oh, like a secret little
- 1:25:22Kingdom. Chase away those critters and
- 1:25:25get rid of the smell. Then you could pitch A10 and
- 1:25:28practically live here, right? You should live here.
- 1:25:34It's rent free. Let's turf these critters out.
- 1:25:38Seize their land, and I'll crown myself the Demon King.
- 1:25:43I'd appoint you as the valiant Cyclopean warrior, the Cold
- 1:25:49Lord. The thief's up ahead.
- 1:25:59Oh no, he's in a fight with Filthoids.
- 1:26:02Let's drive away the filthoids and get him.
- 1:26:35Yeah. Not so fast now, are you?
- 1:26:57Come on, let's. Pin him down.
- 1:27:13That's for underestimating Snow's minion.
- 1:27:17Now you know what we've got. All right, all right, here's
- 1:27:26your money bag. I haven't had a decent meal and
- 1:27:30day, so I caught desperate. I'm sorry.
- 1:27:35You're. Starving.
- 1:27:37Guess what? So is everyone in the slums.
- 1:27:40And you didn't seem so sorry when you snatched the money bag
- 1:27:43from me. How about this?
- 1:27:48You threw a few punches at me, so now I'm going to hit you with
- 1:27:52my shovel a few times. Then.
- 1:27:55We can call it even and you can leave.
- 1:28:02OK, watch out, Margie. He's got something in his hand.
- 1:28:11Something just knocked the dagger away.
- 1:28:13Is that a dinner knife? Remember, sometimes a beast
- 1:28:18bearing its belly isn't showing weakness.
- 1:28:20It might be baiting a trap. Drop your guard and you'll get
- 1:28:23bitten like the wild. The city's teeming with beasts
- 1:28:29like that, Margie. Be wary of undue mercy or trust
- 1:28:34you too. I'll I'll remember that.
- 1:28:44Miss Camilla, did you come all this way to back us up?
- 1:28:49Since you've come all this way to Ice Lake, it'd be a shame to
- 1:28:53meet your Maker in this sorry spot on your first day, wouldn't
- 1:28:56it? I thought some big shot came,
- 1:29:00turns out it's just a Tavern keeping old hen.
- 1:29:03What are you going to do about it?
- 1:29:04Call the guards? Do you really think those high
- 1:29:07UPS give a damn about Camerons? We'll handle you our way, teach
- 1:29:16you a few life lessons your presumably absent mother never
- 1:29:19did. Don't bring my mum into this.
- 1:29:21Let go of me, you nasty hack. Take him to the Security Bureau,
- 1:29:29straight to Chief Damien. This is out of our hands now.
- 1:29:36What? No, no, Please.
- 1:29:41I surrender. Please don't take me there.
- 1:29:43I'll do anything. I'll leave.
- 1:29:47I snake for good. Please let me go.
- 1:29:48I'll beg on you. Miss Camilla, What's wrong with
- 1:29:52him? Stay back.
- 1:30:03He's much more dangerous than he looks.
- 1:30:06Anyway, Margie got her money back and you've proved yourself.
- 1:30:12If you're still set on becoming a Fox hunter, meet me at the
- 1:30:16Asphodel, please. Just let me go, please.
- 1:30:26That was weird. Why did Miss Camilla suddenly
- 1:30:30freak out like that? She's usually so cool headed.
- 1:30:35And that thief, too, shaking like a leaf all of a sudden.
- 1:30:39Is the Security Bureau really that scary?
- 1:30:44Looks like he's in for a tough time.
- 1:30:47All I wanted was to get my money bag back and maybe teach him a
- 1:30:50lesson. I didn't expect all this, I
- 1:30:55almost forgot. Here's your reward.
- 1:31:00Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver.
- 1:31:03My brother from another mother. Well.
- 1:31:07I got to go divvy up these coins.
- 1:31:09I usually do my shopping all over Ice Lake.
- 1:31:12If you need me, just drop my name in the slums and they'll
- 1:31:15help you find me. Over here, all the commissions
- 1:31:31for fox hunters are listed on this board.
- 1:31:39Ah, oh, Snow lending a hand to fox hunters again.
- 1:31:43What is it this time? Nabbed a few 100 bandits?
- 1:31:46Thwarted a dozen dastardly schemes.
- 1:31:50Today I'm keeping it low key. Just nabbed a petty thief.
- 1:31:55Just one that sounds almost believable.
- 1:31:58I've got to see this. I've never fibbed before.
- 1:32:04Come here my little minion. This is Mr. Wells, the most hard
- 1:32:08working fox hunter around here. Hello, Mr. Wells.
- 1:32:17So it was you looking all neat and tidy.
- 1:32:20Who'd have thought you had it in you?
- 1:32:23Thanks. It was just a small thing.
- 1:32:28A small thing, let me tell you. It's all these small things that
- 1:32:32turned Isaac into what it is now.
- 1:32:35If it was something big, Ice Lake would be turned upside
- 1:32:39down. Then I should try harder.
- 1:32:43Learn from professionals like you.
- 1:32:46Learn from me. Give me a break.
- 1:32:50Take a good, long think and figure out why you ended up on
- 1:32:53this path. This is what you should do.
- 1:32:57I need money. Who doesn't?
- 1:33:00I've got folks owing me a fortune.
- 1:33:03Being short's one thing I'd never stooped to thieving or
- 1:33:07robbing. You're back.
- 1:33:13Everything OK? Did you catch that thief?
- 1:33:19That was a piece of cake. My little minion and I gave that
- 1:33:22bad thief a good thrashing. He ended up crying and begging
- 1:33:25for mercy. So you're the one who nabbed the
- 1:33:30thief? I thought Snow called you Minion
- 1:33:32because you got caught by her, but then again, who in their
- 1:33:36right mind would get caught by Snow?
- 1:33:37What was I thinking? He was the witness of my deeds.
- 1:33:46You had it all wrong. You've made a fool of yourself
- 1:33:49this time, haven't you? Serves you right for being so
- 1:33:53preachy all the time. Sorry for what I've just said.
- 1:33:59Care for a drink? Just let Camilla know it's on
- 1:34:02me. Consider it an apology.
- 1:34:08I'll take a 20% cut. You keep 80%.
- 1:34:48Your first gig was quite slick and you got on with Wells.
- 1:34:52Your career as a fox hunter is off to a good start.
- 1:34:56Here a hot drink to warm you up. I was going to treat you to one,
- 1:35:01but since Wells is offered, we'll put it on his tap.
- 1:35:06Right, I did mistake this lad for a thief.
- 1:35:09It's the least I can do. Oh, and I can also catch him up
- 1:35:13on our line of work. To be honest, it's been pretty
- 1:35:17tough lately. Any Commission worth a job has
- 1:35:20to be fought for. I just had a gander at today's
- 1:35:24jobs and they're all thankless. Except for that hot potato.
- 1:35:32Right, bother of a job finding some death stone.
- 1:35:35There's no point in telling you, even as old hands don't dare
- 1:35:39touch it, let alone a newbie like you.
- 1:35:46It's looking for a rare mineral called Crystallo of Stella.
- 1:35:49In the old Glevin Pit. The client is Henrik Effelred.
- 1:35:54Yes, the very same Henrik. You know, Glevin Pit is now a
- 1:36:00den for filthoids. A few fox hunters tried their
- 1:36:03luck, hoping to find some foxing scraps there, but not a soul
- 1:36:07came back. So even with Henrik dangling
- 1:36:115000 silver coins, no fox hunters taken a bite.
- 1:36:16Fox hunters are born adventurous, but we're not
- 1:36:19reckless fools. The Stones very existence aside,
- 1:36:23who knows if Henrik can even cover up the cash.
- 1:36:30Everyone knows he's recently gone bankrupt, even looking to
