[Assistant] Anna took a glass of wine, saying, you've already thanked me at the dock. It's my pleasure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they clinked glasses, Roland saw the happiness and sweetness in the girl's eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The witches of the town, who had seen similar things happen before, did not seem to heed this action, but Sylvie and all the other sleeping island witches stared at this in surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, they all looked at Roland with accusing looks in their eyes, seriously doubting this strange fjord's etiquette of kissing the Lord during a celebration party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling quite awkward, the prince turned his head aside to avoid their eyes. After that, he moved a toast to his officials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he came to Chief Alchemist Kyle Cichi, he leaned toward him and whispered, Your Highness, I've read intermediate chemistry twice, but still can't understand many parts of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It expounds microcosmic composition of substances and involves lots of physics knowledge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to read it together with another book to get a clear idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suggest that you read elementary physics before you read the incomplete chemistry book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this way, you can find answers for many of your questions, role unexplained. That's what I intended to do, but he hesitated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Highness, why do the covers of the ancient books have different colors? Do the colors suggest anything? Well, Roland continued after a little thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The colors represent different levels and different degrees of difficulty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a thoughtful expression on his face, Kyle said, I see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The covers change from green to purple, and the deeper the color is, the more difficult the content of the book will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Halfway through the banquet, the prince walked out of the hall and came to the castle terrace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the evening breeze, he felt a touch of coolness and then realized that half of the autumn had already passed and before long the months of demons would bring along cold winter to the whole western region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was happy to have witnessed many good changes of the town in this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the deals with Margaret's Chamber of Commerce, the town was awash in liquidity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of those gold royals were distributed to the subjects as wages, except for some used to buy food and goods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A recent survey conducted by the convenience market showed remarkable sales increases in all kinds of goods of the market, especially those goods which could significantly increase life quality, such as steaks and eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt, the statistics suggested that the living standard of the people was improved, especially that of the locals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that they had free brand new houses and much higher incomes, they started to buy good food for daily meals, which they had only been able to enjoy in festivals in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As to the newcomers of the town, they were still saving money to buy houses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland believed that when they settled down, the market would see a new sales peak. What did the people need?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In some era, they would be grateful and loyal to their lord as long as they could eat and drink well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like in this era, most people were easy to be content. Your Highness, be careful not to catch cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale appeared behind him with a thin leather coat in her hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She tossed it to Roland and then took out a piece of dried fish. She stood beside him, asking, what are you doing here? Nothing. He smiled and put on the coat. I just wanted to see my domain in a sudden. The town still seems bustling. Nightingale pointed to the square lit up by firelight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting late now, but there are still so many people outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because tonight is the first night of the new drama Dawn Dot. Roland smiled. It's the first show after the troupe comes back here. The audience has waited for several months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just can't wait any longer to see Miss May and Miss Irene again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He suddenly thought of the fact that Miss May would soon become Miss May Rhonies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To his great surprise, his chief knight had quickly won the affection of Star of the Western Region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had been dumbfounded for along while when Carter told him about it with an expression of absolute honesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By tradition, a chief knight's marriage needed his lord's approval.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Carter's lord, Rowland would never object to such a happy thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carter and May's wedding would be held after the months of demons this year, on the same day of the city building announcement of Border Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland looked up at the cloudless, starry night sky, thinking that he still had a lot of things to do, such as expanding education, establishing public healthcare system, strengthening cultural construction, encouraging births, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these things would thrive his western region and give him enough strength to unify the kingdom of Grey Castle. What about us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 316, the second exploration into the stone tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having seen the prince leave the hall, lightning drew Maggie into a corner. Coo? Maggie wore her hair down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The long white hair which almost touched the ground made her look like a ghost when she was moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She parted the hair covering her face and revealed a bulging face. Half of a pork gristle still stuck out of her mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning whispered, I find an interesting place in Misty Forest. I'll go to explore it tomorrow. Are you going with me? Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded repeatedly. Yes, what do I need to prepare? The three-piece suit for exploration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realizing that she had used some Roland-style strange words just now, Lightning corrected herself by saying, No, I mean the three most frequently used things in exploration, flint, solid food, and dagger. It's not very far away. We only need to bring food enough for one day. Don't fill all your bag with food like the last time. Got it. Coo! Maggie patted her chest and said. When she was about to leave, Lightning stopped her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said to Maggie, remember, this is our secret. Don't tell anyone else. We'll set out tomorrow morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing her hurriedly heading for the dining table, lightning twitched her lips and started to think about the plan for tomorrow's exploration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite the fact that she had successfully dropped the bomb for his highness, recently when she was flying she found that something seemed to hinder her movement and decrease her agility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time when she sped up, she felt as if she were chased by a demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She believed this psychological obstacle was caused by the dreadful experience of her precious exploration into the stone tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had panicked and turned around to flee as quickly as possible when seeing the menacing bulk at the entrance of the basement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This fear had not only made her lose her cool on the spot, but also affected her confidence in being an explorer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing you have to fear is in fear itself, but fearing the unknown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing that tomorrow she might confront real dangers, she still made up her mind to be brave and keep moving forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She knew that if she failed to overcome her fear this time, she would no longer fly freely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the reason for her decision to act without Roland's authorization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In accordance with the prince's plan, the exploration of the stone tower was scheduled after the months of demons. But at that time, accompanied by all the other witches and the first army soldiers, she thought she would not force herself to overcome her fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could hardly be called her exploration if she was only able to get close to that dreadful place with so many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was clear that his highness might reproach her and punish her by stopping offering her ice creams for this unauthorized action. And the sisters of the witch union might worry about her, but she's still determined to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the daughter of the greatest explorer of the fjords, Lightning could not accept herself as a coward. She must be well prepared for this upcoming exploration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared with the ill prepared one several months ago, this time she was equipped with a revolver, a gift from the prince, and she had a better understanding of demons and her friend Maggie's help. It's really good that Maggie agreed to join me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if she failed to fright away demons, if any, in her demonic beast form, she could at least carry me and flew away in a dangerous situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An explorer doesn't need a large troop to keep his courage up, but exploring with several reliable friends is totally acceptable, she thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the banquet ended, lightning wrapped up all the sliced honey ham she had collected and put it in a cloth bag. And then she put in her gun, her torch, and her water bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She got some of her confidence back after the success of the bombing mission and felt braver after getting encouragement from the prince and kissing his face, which had a little stubble. As the saying went, struck while the iron was hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After such a nice day, tomorrow was the best time for her to start the exploration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Early in the next morning when she flew up to the top of the castle, Maggie was already perching on the top of the wall, waiting for her. Check your pack. I take all the things you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie transformed back into a girl and opened her crossbody bag for lightning to check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time, Maggie only took half a bag's food, a dagger, and a flint. Well, I can let you pass this time. Let's go! Lightning flew with the pigeon toward Misty Forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As she had recalled this route many times in her head, she could fly in the right direction even with her eyes closed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a little cloudy today, but it was much better than the dark and gloomy day when she had explored the tower for the first time. The land below was slowly moving backward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she was approaching the area where the stone tower located, Lightning was getting increasingly nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie asked, is the interesting place you mentioned last night a newly found eagle's nest?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning shook her head and said, No, it's much more interesting than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our destination today is an ancient monument, an over 400 year old stone tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning explained, an eagle nest has at most two or three eggs. You'll swallow them in a few bites.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, if we can find valuable ancient books there and bring them back to his highness, he'll reward you with a basket of eggs. You can boil or steam them according to your preference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you eat three of them each day, they'll be enough for you to enjoy for a long time. Hearing that, Maggie immediately cheered up. Really? Let's hurry up to find ancient books. Coo, coo. They finally saw the tower when it was almost noon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this silent woods, even their speaking voices sounded quite loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll get in and check first. Lightning pointed to the top of the broken tower and said in a very low voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stepping on the withered grass she could clearly hear the rustle under her feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She found that the plants had not grown back to cover the tower's entrance yet, and she saw the small cluster of vines she had cut off last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She held her breath and entered the tower following the route she remembered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Step by step, she was getting closer to the stairs in the center of the tower, which led to the basement. Now she could even hear her own heartbeat. Ignorance brings the fear. To overcome the fear, I've got to approach the unknown. The little girl kept encouraging herself in her heart. She lit a torch and walked down the stairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Standing at the stair corner, she stretched her neck to peak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She saw that the collapsed wooden door was fragmented and no demon was at the entrance of the basement anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The profound darkness there looked like a bottomless open mouth of a man-eating monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this moment she heard a weak but familiar voice coming out of the darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She involuntarily cringed at the sound, and all the hair on her body stood up at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling a desperate urge to escape, she clenched her teeth to suppress her fear and covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from crying out. She focused to listen again. This time, she heard it clearly. It repeated in the same tone. Help me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the horror stories that she had heard from some other explorers flashed upon her mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter it was a devil crawling out of the abyss, a ghost bearing a grudge, or a lingering deathless, it would be an explorer's nightmare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A monster like that could kill a person simply by looking into his eyes and was good at creating illusions and diluting people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was afraid that there was such a monster in this monument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite that her father Thunder had told her that those stories were just nonsense made up by the worst explorers, she still got cold feet at this moment. If it's not a monster, then what's it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who can keep shouting inside in the same tone and at the same frequency for several months while being besieged by demons? She was faced with difficult choices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was a monster who had killed all the demons inside, going there would get herself killed by it, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was someone who had been fighting against demons till now, there must be some demons that she never wanted to meet. She could hardly make a decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a little hesitation, she decided to fly back to discuss with Maggie first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hearing what lightning said about the situation inside, Maggie lifted her head, saying, we can put out the torch and sneak in. This way, the demons can't see us. Uhm, but we can't see them either. I can transform into an owl. The pigeon rubbed the little girl's face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By doing so, I can see everything in the darkness. Cool. Lightning's eyes shone and agreed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good idea, but those legendary evil things have lived in the darkness for their whole life. They must be able to find praise in the dark. Otherwise, they've already starved to death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't you say that those stories were just made up to scare people? It's not me, it's my dad. The little girl corrected. It's all the same to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, I've never heard of any immortal monster in the Kingdom of Grey Castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they're really that powerful, they should not just exist in the fjords.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A light shone in Maggie and the pigeon swiftly swelled into an owl, eyes filled with excitement. I thought that you were quite interested in those stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, a qualified explorer should never miss a chance to verify a story. I'm here to overcome my fear. I'll waste all my previous efforts if I escape now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a moment of hesitation, Lightning decided to do as what Maggie had suggested. But wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here to overcome my fear, but what makes Maggie so interested in exploring this relic? Is it? Do you hurry to get inside because of the basket of eggs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The owl blinked her round eyes at the little girl and then turned her head aside. Lightning came to the entrance of the basement again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She took several deep breaths and then crept into the deep darkness, tightly holding the revolver in hand. She felt much calmer this time with Maggie on her shoulder. The floor was wet with puddles here and there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As this basement was located in a low-lying place, all the rain fell into the tower would end up flowing down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually, a drainage system would be built for a basement to drain off the water. But after hundreds of years, most of the ditches here must have been blocked already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning slowed down to fumble from the edge of the stair and then stepped down. After she took a turn, she saw some light in a sudden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This dim yellow light coming from the end of the stairs even made the floor gleam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She fixed her eyes on the floor for a moment and found that it was just shimmering sewage water down there It submerged part of the door frame


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging from that, she knew that the water inside the basement might at least be able to submerge her knees if she walked into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given that, she flew up and slowly moved to the door after she came to the stair parallel to the water's surface. She popped her head in and looked about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an incredibly large room behind the door, which was far more spacious than the space inside the tower above the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did not see any burning torch, but some stones embedded in the wall were giving out yellow light, making it possible for her to roughly see everything inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging from the big and muscular bodies and the shells on their backs, she was sure that they were demons. They had not yet noticed the girl and the owl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, they were surrounding a bluestone cuboid with large shields and long spears in their hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this moment, the cries for help were getting more and more clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are several demons inside. We can't beat them. She felt her hand holding the gun was sweaty now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Sister Nightingale was here, it would be alright, but I can't do this by myself. Are they the demons you're talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie had flown toward the high stage before Lightning's voice faded away, leaving her to stand agape in the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The little girl was so frightened at the moment that she even forgot to reach out her hand to grab Maggie back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she finally began to take it in, Maggie had already flung herself to a demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The little girl gnashed her teeth and followed the owl with a gun in her hand, repeating to herself the shooting tricks that Nightingale had taught her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surprisingly, she saw the demon collapse in a sudden, like a weather beaten rock. The owl smashed it in an instant simply by pecking at it. What's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning landed beside Maggie and looked at the other three demons in surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Standing on the stage, she could clearly saw the cracks over all their bodies and broken spider webs between their legs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through their ferocious masks, she saw their eyes and skins were pale and gray, showing no trace of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now she finally saw why Maggie said that, as in Dim Light the Owl's vision was much better than that of hers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she was about to relax, another thing suddenly caught her attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seen from afar, the big cuboid surrounded by the demons on this stage resembled a stone pillar, but it turned out to be transparent at close range. Inside it, stood a woman dressed in radiant garment. She closed her eyes and opened both of her hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her long blue hair flew backward, as if it were blown up by wind. Is she a witch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie flew to the top of the crystal cuboid and pecked at it heavily, making loud and clear knocking sounds. However, it did not crack with the sounds. I don't know. Lightning muttered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as she put her hand on it, she felt a piercing coldness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was obvious that this woman must have stayed in this stone coffin which was covered with a thick layer of dust for a very long time, but she looked as if she was still alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With her eyebrows knitted tightly and her eyebrow tails raised, she seemed anxious and worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, lightning heard the familiar voice coming from behind the crystal cuboid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He used to draft mechanical drawings with his computer all the time before coming to this world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since he had rarely used pen, he had not anticipated that he would employ this ancient recording method again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beside him lay two documents, both of which were the plans he was going to implement. One was about the massive production of sulfuric acid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna and Soraya had already produced the equipment required.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The previous lead reaction vessel had been replaced by a more sturdy iron one with an anti-corrosion coating on the inner side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new vessel was three times larger than the trial version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since he had yet to find a feasible way to collect and purify exhaust gases, mostly resulting from the combustion of sulfur and escaped nitrogen oxide emitted during the manufacturing process, Roland decided to place the facilities on the south of the industrial zone, far away from Redwater River and the residential area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also planned to build an enclosure outside the plant as well as a chimney to further increase the effective emission height.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the increase in the production of sulfuric acid would greatly enhance the production of nitric acid of a high concentration, the current top priority was to put the facilities to use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the document, Roland instructed Kyle Cichi to pick some of his students to exclusively help with the mass production of sulfuric acid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, he also asked Barov to recruit some handymen from local residents for further assistance. So there would be around 100 laborers working in the first chemical plant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second document was about establishing a public healthcare system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest, Roland was not familiar with this area and naturally had no knowledge of modern medical science.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite that, he still drafted a preliminary proposal that met the current requirements based on common sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first task for this department was to promote and advocate for a healthy lifestyle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For instance, water should be boiled before drinking. Meat should be cooked before serving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The public should receive basic education related to health care such as the cause of illnesses and their corresponding treatment, the differences between parasites and microorganism, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the improvement of his reputation, Roland believed that it was not hard to induce his subjects into doing what they were told.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hard part was actually to let them know the reason behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To tackle this problem, there should be experts responsible for public education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Subjects should be educated repeatedly before fully accepting the concept. It worked just like the slogans hung over the farmland. A one-time campaign was definitely not enough. The second task was to encourage birth rates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since City Hall was short of staff, Rowland did not want to specifically found a birth control department. He thus put this part under the healthcare sector. In this era, labor was always in deficiency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the more children subjects gave birth to, the better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the help of Nana, complications that arose during the labor and delivery process would be largely reduced, and almost every woman could survive childbirth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, to prevent child abandonment, especially of female babies, Rowland made detailed policies regarding subsidies and punishment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, the subsidy for a female baby would be slightly higher than that for a male one, subsidies would be distributed regularly, there would be a fine or a sentence of imprisonment for child abandonment, etc. The last part was about fees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apart from helping child deliveries, the hospital would charge a certain amount of fees according to how much magic power Nana consumed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This would not only reduce the burden placed on the little girl, but would also lay a solid foundation for the establishment of future medical institutions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland had already known who the first superintendent of this department should be. It was Nana's father, Viscount Tegui Pine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third document, which he was currently working on, was the most complicated and lengthiest of all three, the city construction plan for Border Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The proposal talked about the expansion of the town itself, as well as the merging with Longsong Stronghold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland would have to enact a series of laws to govern people in two locations and also create a judicial and policing system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew it was impossible to write a comprehensive, perfect plan just with the poor knowledge he had now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, he decided to first make a draft and further enhance the plan after discussing the details with Barov, the director of City Hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland stretched himself after finishing the opening section. He then walked to the French window. It was a somber day. There was no sunshine in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the afternoon, the sky had been overspread by thick, sullen clouds. It appeared there was going to be a heavy rain soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chilly winds swept over the castle backyard while rustling the olive trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, Roland saw a dot darting in the castle's direction. It's lightning. Nightingale's voice popped up behind him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She probably went to Misty Forest to pick mushrooms again. Roland smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally when Lightning and Maggie did not need to scout around, they would just practice flying freely around the forest and have lunch outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to them, they would often come across some bird eggs and beehives. Sometimes, they would barbecue some little animals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps every explorer would eventually become a Bear Grylls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although bird beak mushrooms usually grew on trees, they always remind Roland of the story of a little girl who picked mushrooms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your highness, you have a weird smile on your face. Ahem, I just thought of an interesting story. Do you want to hear it? Ha, Roland cleared his throat and began.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once upon a time, there was a little girl who liked to pick mushrooms while counting. Hang on. The dark shadow gradually drew closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Roland's surprise, it lowered and dashed straight to the French window instead of passing the castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could not believe the little girl would be so audacious as to again investigate the ancient relic where demons had once appeared accompanied by no one but a pigeon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was more astonishing was that there was a witch down the relic. Of course, the witch could not be an ordinary one. At any rate, it was just incredible. What of the voice calling for help? It's this. I found it on the table behind her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning took out a palm-sized square iron box from her pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The box looked like a small vanity mirror at the first glance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland opened its lid, however, he saw a red gemstone embedded in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After turning on the switch beside the gemstone, an anxious ladies voice rang in his ear. Help me. Roland shuddered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was such a horrid voice that it appeared to be very close one moment and suddenly drifted far away the next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he heard the same voice in a dim dungeon, he would not feel like staying there for even a single minute. The gemstone has magic power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can see the swirl of magic power, although it was almost invisible. It looks just like the magic power of a witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed that the gemstone worked as a recorder running by magic power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the probability that the woman was a witch appeared to be even higher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are there any other stones like this in the basement of the stone tower? Lightning shook her head. I didn't look. Many rooms have been flooded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that time, I just wanted to fly back and tell you the news as soon as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't do that again in the future, and particularly, don't go to dangerous places on your own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll and padded lightning on her head, and then look to Nightingale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Summon all the members of the Witch Union and Iron Axe to my office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We probably have to carry out the relic searching plan earlier than we've planned to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After everybody was here, Roland related the whole story again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A crystal coffin and an ancient relic, a damp but fully intact basement, a magic gemstone sending out a call for help, and a demon reducing to ashes. What are your opinions on these matters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna replied thoughtfully, Are you saying she may be a witch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she's still alive, we can probably learn more about what happened over 400 years ago from her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She may not necessarily stand on our side. Leaf continued. Leaf's comment took Roland by surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the relic was left by the church, the woman down there was very likely a member of the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] from her splendid dressing lightning had described, she might even have been one of the senior executives in the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she was just an ordinary person, it would not be too big a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she, unfortunately, was indeed a witch, then she might be a difficult person to deal with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on the battle between Ashes and Nightingale, and the attack from Faceless, Roland concluded that there were no specific guidelines to grade a witch's fighting capacity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An extraordinary without a god stone of retaliation might, in some cases, be defeated by an ordinary witch who had a unique ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Likewise, a combating witch could also put herself in a difficult position if she was caught unprepared by an assistant witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the woman, by any chance, harbored malicious intent, nobody would then be able to guarantee that her ability would not pose a threat to the witch union unless she was awakened under the influences of a god stone of retaliation. Are you guys all crazy to debate whether she was on our side? Lily put her hand on her forehead. How could she possibly be alive?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At any rate, she was a person living over 400 years ago. Witches have a short lifespan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even a strong extraordinary can live no more than 100 years. You guys worry too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Witches are physically stronger than normal people, so they should have a longer lifespan. Normal people live no more than 40 to 50 years. Lily let out a snort. Do you think everybody lives as long as a turtle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A life expectancy of 40 to 50 years was primarily caused by insufficient food and poor medical care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once people's living standard improved, this number would increase by 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, Roland thought Lily was somewhat right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she's really a witch working for the church, we'll just put a god stone of retaliation on her after she wakes up. That should do. Plus, we have Anna and Nightingale here. That shouldn't be a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy said placidly, the key lies in the fact that she may know something about the battle over 400 years ago. We need to rescue her even just for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The information about demons, which the church endeavored to cover up, was truly important for the town, and most likely it was not going to be a piece of good news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they could learn it in advance they would probably be able to gain a prevailing position in the future battle against the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As both Anna and Nightingale held the same view, Skrull conceded unwillingly. An agreement had thus been reached among the witch union. What about the First Army? Roland looked at Iron Axe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can dispatch 50 people at most, Iron Axe replied. Your Highness, you sent out a few units to help City Hall to recruit refugees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are currently 500 soldiers garrisoning the town approximately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Timothy received a God's punishment, there's still a chance that he makes a desperate effort to wage an aggressive war against the Western region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A military force of 50 soldiers was decidedly a little too thin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would possibly suffer a great loss if demons speared them far away from somewhere out of their sight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to prevent this happening, Roland would need Lightning and Maggie to scout around in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, he had to also rely on Sylvie's perspective view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ideal combination would be a hot air balloon in concert with ground forces, a few witches responsible for close range combatting and guarding, and a flintlock squad in charge of long distance attacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that case, however, witches on Sleeping Island would also know there was a sleeping beauty in the relic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a thorough reflection, Roland decided to include Sylvie, since the most important thing for this rescue operation was personal safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland was about to turn the subject to the details of the rescue plan, Mystery Moon cried out in a low voice. Everybody was stunned when looking outside the window. Roland pushed the window open in disbelief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sullen sky had been covered with white elves which swirled and drifted down silently to the ground. Roland stuck out his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He felt a cold sensation as the little white dot of feather descended on his hand. It was snowing. This was out of usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as he knew, it only snowed once in winter in the western region, and it was not even winter yet. Would it normally snow in the second month of fall?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll a night iron axe who also looked at the snow sternly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ironaxe slowly answered, during my stay at the town over the past seven or eight years, I've never seen this. Snow meant the arrival of the months of demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that time, the sun would be overspread by dark clouds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before it once again peeped through the clouds, the entire western region would be under the attacks of demonic beasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole misty forest would be filled with these fierce monsters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would thus be pretty dangerous to travel somewhere beyond the city wall and almost impossible to transport witches with a hot air balloon, not to mention sending out the First Army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In view of the above noted factors, Roland had no choice but to suspend his rescue operation for now until the sky cleared up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the temperature in fall did not normally drop that fast, Roland truly thought the heavy snow was just temporary and would cease in no time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To his disappointment, however, the town was wiped out by snow three days later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The forest and distant mountains were all covered with a thick layer of white muslin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would definitely be a breathtaking view in the modern world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, at this point, Roland did not have the slightest intention to appreciate its beauty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the snow had become noticeably less heavy than earlier, snowflakes still sprinkled here and there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tents were pitched at the foot of the city wall so that soldiers could get prepared for the upcoming war in a timely fashion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the temperature decreased almost on a daily basis, soldiers had changed their attire from shirts to winter jackets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland's heart sank on the fourth day when he received the news from the front. The west wall was attacked by demonic beasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That meant the months of demons arrived one month earlier than usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd never thought that Sleeping Spell's first patron would be you. Tilly laughed as she served up a steaming bowl of fish soup. Thanks for your help in finding the ruins in Shadow Islands. You're welcome. Thunder received the soup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, without the witches traveling together, the area to the east of Shadows Island is absolutely dangerous and forbidden to an explorer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took a sip of a soup and exhaled a mouthful of hot air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, blacktail fish soup is absolutely delicious. Neither black tea nor ale was popular in the fjords.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people here were used to having a bowl of cold fish jelly during midsummer, and when temperatures were lower, they would have a bowl of boiled fish soup instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When cooked, different kinds of fishes had very different tastes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was a custom that Tilly learned about only after coming to Sleeping Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that why you couldn't wait to come and patronize Sleeping Spell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last time in the ruins, the scene I saw through my telescope was stunning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wished so bad that I could fly over to see what there was on the land and why a stone gate appeared on the cliffs. Is that so? Tilly poured a cup of fish soup for herself. You should know that I intend to visit Border Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is because I wish to have a good talk with the leader of the witch cooperation association and, at the same time, experience the western region's months of demons. You won't be going with us to have a look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thunder remained silent for a moment before he put on a grin and replied, I think not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's probably living well over there, and it's fine this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As an explorer, you never know when an accident will happen after all. I've already lost her mother, and I don't want to lose her too. When the time comes, I hope you'll. I will. Tilly nodded her head. She's one of us after all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Laughing gently, she continued, but remember, business is business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though you've helped us a lot, the cost of hiring witches will be calculated according to the book. Of course, business is always business. This is the fjords tradition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thunder drank up the remaining soup and laughed even louder. So who did he hire?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After seeing thunder depart from the palace, Ashes walked into the hall and sat cross-legged beside Tilly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't forget that he's the most famous explorer in the fjords. The princess smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can attain a huge fortune whenever he discovers a new navigation route or digs up a treasure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That explains why he has the financial ability to consistently hire a large number of experienced personnel to accompany him in exploring mysterious and dangerous regions. His risk is heavily reduced with the witches around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using money to offset risk has been a worthy transaction since time ancient. But is this really good? Ashes seemed unconvinced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While the establishment of a bounty guild can bring huge fortune to Sleeping Island, the witch's abilities will be revealed as a result, if the church learns of them. Sleeping Spell was a new guild established by Tilly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, explorers of the Fjord Islands could hire witches with suitable abilities to help them complete their adventures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, aside from its primary business, there were also various convenience services on offer, such as reparation of damaged items, crafting of several exquisite artworks, fast house construction, as well as floriculture and fumigation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as the witch's abilities were not made use of for evil, Sleeping Spell could offer any service.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the downside to all this was that their abilities were publicized. Tilly held Ash's hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haven't I already told you that I don't care about the gold royals? But rather, what I hope is to use the bounty guild to enable more people to understand Sleeping Island and build up friendly relations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thunder said something which I agree very much with. Fear comes from the unknown. It's the same with witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Fjord Islanders and the Kingdom's citizens fear of us simply arises from the Church's slander and their own ignorance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no means to force them to initiate contact with and understand us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I can do is to publicize our identity positively and tell them that our power doesn't come from demons, as well as that our abilities aren't overly uncanny, which is our normal people before their awakenings, and therefore are essentially humans too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When there's greater mutual understanding, the fear will disappear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She took a breath and continued, As for the church, they've never cared about what abilities we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Judgment Army has always been responsible for capturing witches, while at times the God's Punishment Army would be mobilized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There isn't much difference among our abilities in front of the godstone of retaliation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope that you're right, Ash has said softly. I only know how to fight and kill. I won't be of much help in this regard. You've already helped me plenty. Tilly laughed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To develop and expand Sleeping Island, the most important thing to do is to build relations among the fjord islands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fostering mutual understanding is a long process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm doing all this simply to speed up this process as much as possible. There's also a further use for the bounty guild. She stuck out her tongue and revealed a sly grin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's to find new uses for abilities which seem to be useless at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This way, our non-combat witches won't feel depressed that their abilities aren't useful. Ashes seem to be amused by her expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You always have so many reasons, one after the other, that it's difficult for anyone to refute you. Because I'm always right. Tilly smirked. Let's change the topic. Maggie has still not returned to Sleeping Island. Did something happen over there? Perhaps she's being delayed by something. Ashes pondered briefly. Or perhaps. What? She doesn't want to come back. She answered while shrugging her shoulders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haven't we already agreed that we'll help him to fight the demonic beasts before we fetch the other witches back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without Lotus, the immigrants from the Crescent Moon Bay will have no houses to live in next year. There's still more than a month before winter. Do we really have to go so early? The journey will take considerable time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Border Town has indeed run into some trouble, we may be able to assist the Witch Cooperation Association by reaching early. And... She blinked several times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He climbed out of his chilly bed, put on a woolen coat and placed his feet in a pail of warm water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the kind of corrupted privilege only he could enjoy as a prince.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every morning, maids would place the pail of warm water beside his bed and also fetch a clean towel and a cup of warm milk. This way, his body could quickly regain warmth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, he considered this to be restrained compared to the great nobles who often had their servants to warm their beds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The prince had brought over his chief maid, Tyre, for this reason, but unfortunately, she died before he got to enjoy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland was not in favor of his practice, and thus, he handed the vacant position to a senior and highly experienced old maid. It turned out to be the correct choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though the castle accommodated many witches at present, she was able to keep the castle's interior spick and span.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flames in the fireplace had gone out, leaving behind only a trace of white ashes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gusts of cold wind slipped through the window cracks behind his back, causing him to feel a piercing chill. It was hard to believe that it was still mid-autumn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland wiped his feet dry, cleaned himself up with another pail of warm water, and then walked up to and closed the window which had been left open overnight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although open fireplaces were very common during this era, he remained worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, and thus, he would leave a gap in the window when he slept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first half of the night, the room temperature could be maintained at a warm level. But as the firewood was burned up, the temperature became similar to outdoors by the early hours of the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should think of a way to solve this problem, roll in thought, or else I won't be able to sleep in anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After breakfast, he led Nightingale, the Chief Knight, and a bunch of guards to the city wall area to conduct a routine inspection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they walked over the piles of thick snow, they could hear a creaking sound beneath their feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland raised his head and saw that the sky was a faint grey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On occasion, a lump of snow would drift against his neck, bringing within a chilly feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was aware that this weather would likely last until the coming spring or even longer. How's the situation at our defense line? Much better than last time. Carter Lanus seemed to be perfectly calm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the 1st Army soldiers have battle experience and carry revolving rifles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A city wall of approximately 100 meters in length only requires 10 guards to suppress demonic beasts clattering below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus, the new city walls are higher than the old ones by half a meter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even demonic wolves will find it difficult to leap on top of the city walls. And as such, they become shooting practice for our soldiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as demonic hybrid beasts don't appear, it's impossible for our defense line to be breached. That's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Roland climbed to the top of the city wall, the soldiers raised their heads and puffed out their chests to salute him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging from their spirits alone, they were completely different from the initial militia soldiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he visited at that time, although the militia stood on the city wall and thrust their spears uniformly, it was nothing more than a conditioned reflex which they had trained repeatedly. Their eyes seemed numb and their movements were rigid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On closer inspection, he even saw that most of their legs were trembling slightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time, confidence oozed from the expression in the soldier's eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After saluting, they turned their sights straight ahead and resumed their watch on the battlefield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he cast his glance along the city walls on the side that led towards Misty Forest, he realized that this area appeared to be much busier than the rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The temporary residences constructed for the serfs and refugees were situated in this area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he looked down from the top of the city wall, he saw that long inclined tracks were arranged in parallel like undulating waves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Along each of these tracks were built ten or so houses, whose structure was identical to that of cave dwellings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thick earthen walls serve to maintain indoor temperature, and together with heated brick beds and linen blankets, the inhabitants were kept away from the cold. The entire settlement was divided into two zones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The zone closer to the city walls was called the Western Zone and was arranged for refugees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The zone further away from the city walls, called the Eastern Zone, was partitioned and given to the serfs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day, the city hall would send men here to distribute food and charcoal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In return, the refugees performed logistical errands for the 1st Army guarding the city wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the serfs, most had already stored up sufficient wheat for themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except a few hardworking ones who came out to find odd jobs and earn a little extra cash for themselves. The rest of the serfs rarely stepped out of their warm houses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of a sudden, a heated argument was heard from the direction of the eastern zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll and look towards where the sounds seem to be coming from, only to see a group of people gathered on the main road in the center of the residential area, loudly arguing over something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them was wearing a blue and white uniform which suggested that he was a city hall officer. The quarrel soon escalated into a brawl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland's party made its way towards the location of the trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chief Knight took the lead by charging straight into the brawling mob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With two or three blows, he quickly subdued several of the rowdiest brawlers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland's guards pulled out their swords and urged everyone to stop fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before long the situation was brought under control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the two groups of commoners discovered that the arriving party was none other than the Lord himself, they kneeled on the ground all at once. What's your name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland looked fixedly and frowned at the officer who had taken two punches on his face. What happened here and who attacked you first?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your highness, I'm Coya Harvey. The officer replied in a shrill voice while covering his face. And it was that damn refugee wearing a brown linen shirt who hit me first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was distributing food when he jumped on me like a vicious dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The refugee whom Coy appointed at raised his head and retorted, Your Highness, the matter isn't as he said. These people colluded with the serfs to exhort us. They're charging us a price for every portion of oatmeal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When your highness took us in, you clearly said that all these would be distributed for free. Roland felt slightly surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The eastern region refugees had already been checked through by the city hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those among them who were craftsmen, possessed special skills, or were literate had been shifted into an inner ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In principle, the remaining ones should only be peasants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, judging from his manner of speech and vocabulary, he did not quite seem to be a peasant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By comparison, the city hall officer, whose mouth was full of expletives, was very disappointing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From his name and surname, Rowland could guess that he was probably a knight who pledged allegiance to Duke Ryan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I indeed say so. Before your people are officially incorporated into border town, Oatmeals and residences will be provided for free. Roland repeated his original words in front of all the refugees. At present, my words are still effective. Your Highness is benevolent. Long live the Lord. Thank you, Your Highness. The refugees cowed out and exclaimed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Koya Harvey's face turned a ghastly pale at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, within my territory, fighting and injuring others is always an offense, especially assaulting a city hall officer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arrest all of the refugees and serfs who laid hands on others and bring them to the castle. I'll handle this case myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a brief pause, he glanced with interest towards Koya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll also like to ask you about what's with the pricing of the oatmeal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 322, Western Territory Security Bureau.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland returned to the castle hall, he sat back on the seat of honor and looked down at his subjects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From his memory, the former Prince Roland had exercised his right to adjudicate only once, and that took place shortly after he arrived in Border Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he fell out with the nobles and became dissatisfied with life, he handed over all of his responsibilities and matters to Barov and never took interest in them again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When everyone involved was present, Roland announced the star of the trial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each party was allowed to state their reasons before Roland interrogated them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Nightingale's secret assistance, his duty as a judge became relaxed and easy. He neither had to work out who was lying or being insincere nor needed to have an overbearingly meticulous heart. The whole story of the matter soon became clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After being stripped of his status as a knight, Clea Harvey harbored some discontent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, he was sick of the tedious paperwork at the city hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thus decided to take his grievances out on the refugees


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While distributing oatmeal to them, he deliberately charged a price and then drove a wedge between them and the serfs by claiming that the serfs had not turned over their grains accordingly, which cost the stock of wheat to be insufficient and therefore unable to be distributed for free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, Koya had been collecting a price for the oatmeal for several days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he would wear the unmistakable uniform of the city hall and the refugees were worried of reprisal from the officials, most of them chose to remain silent. This made Koya grow even bolder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only today, when a refugee by the name of Vader came forward to protest at Koya's measures and stirred up a commotion, the matter was brought to light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Roland understood the circumstances, he let out a sigh of relief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During an organization's development phase, it would typically be full of vigor and vitality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After it stabilized, corruption and inflexibility would become inevitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, these problems should only occur after the unification of the Kingdom of Grey Castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they arose at such an early stage, then the organization was destined not to go far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As things stood, it was fortunate that this incident was caused by the individual behavior of Coya Harvey and did not involve other City Hall officials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, the matter was only extortion of money, instead of what Roland would be most worried about, collusion with the serfs to resell and traffic grains. Of course, he was also at fault for this incident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Initially, when the city hall was desperately short of manpower, he did not arrange any screening or training, and simply assigned all of the surrender knights to Barov after giving them a warning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the outcome of this case showed, not everyone could accept this job without complaint while having to endure the psychological blow of falling from a knight to a commoner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland summoned Berif to his side and asked softly, How would a lord usually handle a situation like this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Highness, there are two kinds of situation. The latter replied respectfully. If the offender is a noble, he may pay a few gold royals and be spared from further punishment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The offense of a commoner who assaults a noble can be deemed either big or small. The punishment may range from amputation to flogging. But Koya isn't a noble. The prince shrugged his shoulders. I'd taken away his title. Understood, your highness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that's so, the verdict entirely depends on the Lord's mood. Nothing is fixed. Barov shook his head. Roland furrowed his brows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it entirely depends on my mood, it means that it doesn't matter how I deal with the commoners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that in the eyes of nobles, they are people who need to be taken and treated seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aside from chopping off their limbs, flogging, pulling their nails and similar punishments, is there anything more normal? Like imprisonment. Imprisonment? Barov was taken aback. Your highness, you mean to simply lock them up? That doesn't count as a punishment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prison is, but a temporary place to hold criminals while they await trial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we keep them locked up, you'll have to provide them with food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seems like fixed term imprisonment, which is used extensively in later ages, can't be applied here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland pondered for a moment and decided to follow the rules in the Kingdom of Great Castle. He stood up and swept his glance across the entire hall. I'll now pronounce my judgment. Coya Harvey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For dereliction of duty and extortion of refugees. From today onwards, he shall be removed from his duties in the city hall and be banished to labor in the mines for ten years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For instigating an assault on a city hall officer, he shall be sentenced to ten lashes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the rest of the refugees and serfs who participated in the brawl, each of them shall pay a fine of two silver royals or be sentenced to five lashes. Oatmeal shall continue to be distributed for free. The extortion money shall be returned in full. He peered at the city hall director. You shall be in charge of carrying out the above rulings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The final outcomes must be declared to the people living in the provisional residence area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, your highness, bear of answered while making a bow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland returned to his office, he leaned back on his chair and stretched his body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He promptly felt a pair of hands place itself on his shoulders and begin to massage him gently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He closed his eyes to enjoy this moment of relaxation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From this incident, Roland had become aware that as the population of his subjects rose and the authority of the city hall rapidly increased, it was perhaps time for him to address the issue of internal supervision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet, he did not wish to establish an organization akin to a procuratorate, or more so to have an independent public security unit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The former would require a large number of literate personnel and was prone to cause mutual conflicts and blame pushing, which would hinder the implementation and expansion of new policies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other hand, the latter would insidiously diminish his own powers, such as in legislation, judicial interpretation and jurisdiction, all of which he felt would be better off under his control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he needed was a simple and effective system which would not require too many personnel in order to serve the functions of supervision. He clutched the hand on his shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale dissipated her mist and held onto the prince's hand as she sat back on the table. Tilting her head, she asked, what's the matter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I intend to set up a new department which will supervise the city hall as well as arrest individuals or groups who threaten the stability of the western region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This department shall only answer to me and will be independent of the City Hall and the First Army. He enunciated his words clearly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the time being, I shall call at the Western Territory Security Bureau. I hope to put you in charge of this department. Me? She blinked her eyes in surprise. Indeed. Only you can easily distinguish truth from falsities. No form of deception will work in your presence. Roland nodded in approval. How about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you accept, I'll even offer you alone the drinking afternoon tea with ice cream in winter or Nightingale gently pinched his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll install a letterbox for reporting offenses at the castle gate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All you have to do is to verify the contents of the letters received.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most cost-effective solution was indubitable to enable public supervision as well as let the city hall supervise itself, similar to how he arrested spies who infiltrated border town during the previous year's months of demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The downside of this method, which came from a later age, was that both the accused and the accuser would need to be meticulously verified.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There would also be cases of false or mistaken reports, not to mention frame-ups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, these problems would become insignificant with Nightingale's ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, by rewarding the accuser if he was found to be truthful while punishing false accusations and information, this reporting system would certainly be highly effective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for maintaining the stability of the western region and eliminating threats and dangers, it'll be best to have an internal intelligence system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll slowly supply more men to you until you have enough eyes to watch over the entire western region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something unpleasant has happened, Barbara. Paul Gerente won't... What about him? He's quit the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't give us a moment to notice. He said he was going away for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you were interested in him, but perhaps it's just as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've a brilliant career ahead of you, Barbara. You mustn't let anything come between you and the realization of that career. I'm very fond of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Run it again, Barbara. With just a little more anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I must remind you that I am in command. And you'll do as I say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was hoping you'd be reasonable, Mr. Laurie. I hate to ruin that nice safe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you're being heroic, Mr. Loring. I intend to get that formula.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, take Mr. McClain to the basement. Go ahead, don't be afraid. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not the most fun, but it's very fun to perform. So I feel like it just translates, right? I feel like it's a very danceable song. Okay, ready? Next question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was like, they sent over videos of the girl dancing and like, is this cool? What else should we do? And I like gave them a couple little ideas, but yea, it was a very, lots of back and forth. What's your question?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a lot of you guys said you liked that one, so I appreciate that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Both. Well, the carriage is ready. We'll wait for you outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dears, I think the little girl is going to pull through, after all. Now keep the house quiet, dear. Let her sleep. When she wakes, give her some warm milk. Milk!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allein und abgetrennt


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank goodness it will always be a consolation to me to know that I instantly went out in a pouring rain and bought the things. He paid for them, did he not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't guess what it is, ma'am. It's a great cake. A bride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certainly not to be expected to look well, poor thing. The idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The question to put to yourself is, who did you expect to thank you, my love?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Della, who gave you leave to prowl about? Mrs. Della, come and fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madam, you're mistaken. I'm dimble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You told me you've been suffering from breakages, so I got you a wee present.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, on the contrary. Well, I don't suppose you're in much of a hurry to go back to your planes, eh? Must be a tough job. I like it. You know, I take my hat off to you young fellas. Gosh, the speed of these modern machines, it must be terrific. Well, we get used to it, you know. You fly tornadoes, don't you? Yes. Over 400 miles an hour, eh? Oh, marvelous. Land until 70, they tell me. That's right, who told you that? I don't know. People gossip, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a lot of talk in the other direction too, defeatist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The good samaritan, eh? I was looking for you. Oh, why? This card just came for you. Swiss stamp, and a very curious message. That's pretty cool, Nav. Do you always read other people's letters? Certainly not. This isn't a letter, it's a postcard. Postcards are fair game. 13KR, cross QB. You sure? See for yourself. That's generous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that she's gone, do you mind if I feed them sometimes? I'm very fond of pigeons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a talk with you. Are you going out? That must wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The person you were going out to meet. In fact, the meeting was called by my instructions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but now you're not going. We've no room for fools or failures. Miss Stokes should have told you that. Miss Stokes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only to the agency. That's exactly where they would have liked you to leave it. Perhaps this house has been watched now. And I'm here. You realize what my arrest would mean for you, for all of us, for the Reich? What can I do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've been sent to join you. Tell me, in the musical world, true love of beauty is a password, isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it happens that the butler thrill his detective brown-rig of Scotland Yard. But I- And such gross carelessness is inexcusable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does the name Von Hellinger mean anything to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to investigate the activities of the past few months. After that, I shall want to have a talk with you privately. I will question each member separately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll begin with you. The others wait outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fourthly, there's this Barrington job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Collect Mrs. Trim at number 6 Mulholland Road. Very good, sir. She won't answer the door, so just go right in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrible road. Right. Now collect your men and get going. And you'll need military assistance. Or besides your prisoners, there'll be an enemy plane to collect. Touching down in the loch tomorrow night at dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later on in the show, I'm gonna let you know that there is a major difference. People have taught me there's a major difference between barbecues and cookouts. I had no idea. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great. Otherwise they could multitask though. They could drink and have to have stringy, uh, you know, grades you have to. Yep. Yep. That's true. That's way to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, uh, the bronze will be a top three defense this year. Top three. Top three. And the reason is it's just continuity. And I'm not a big fan of continuity. Just saying it for the sakes, you know, saying continuity, but just think about it. We've been on the show a couple of weeks, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All. Delphid is in his second year after the surgery. He should be better. I think it was a big breakout year for him. You also look at Greedy Williams played well last year. He's back. All your secondary, J.O.K. has some injuries last year, but he's a rookie. So now guess what Joe Woods could do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can now throw more at you. Instead of you learning stuff. You guys are, these guys are out there putting packages in two, three weeks. Blitz packages, uh, uh, moving Ronnie Harrison down. He even showed up and came back again. And I think one of the reason they're excited about it is when we talk about Judeve and Clowney, when they, when he showed up at camp,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think people was like, oh, we're real. I think we can do something because everybody's locked in right now. And there was one, one caveat. Bull, you said it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defensive tackle. They can figure out. If you can get me in Dominic and Sue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or a guy of that ilk, I think the Browns definitely, we ready to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Jordan Elliott, uh, Tommy Toghia. We don't know what they're going to, you know, what's Winfrey going to be? What's Winfrey going to be? Uh, you know, they, they addressed it in Taven. Uh, Brian, he, he's coming in and he's going to play. Uh, but I don't know if he's going to be penciled in as, as the number one three technique off bat. So they got a couple of people up there. I think Winovich outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And bull, I think this is the exact reason why a lot of people are saying if Deshaun Watson gets a suspension in the first four, if he gets four games, I don't think no one in Cleveland is blinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four games, you look at the way the schedule breaks. Right. They're playing teams like the Jets. Is it starting off? And if you got a defense and a running game, all you need to, all you need to go be a couple of passes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good problem to have. I mean, we would start Jason Tresnick. Oh, don't! Don't!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. It's tough to, you know, in the AFC North, man. It's tough. When you're playing Joe Burrow, uh, twice a year, you're playing Lamar Jackson, and they, and they stress you out in different ways. Like, you know, the Baltimore Ravens, trust and believe, will go back to what they do. They're gonna run Lamar Jackson to death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got three, I think they got the best receiving core in the division. And Joe Mixon is a top one or two back in the division. So they could do a lot. I mean, the Bengals are going to be great, not to mention Joe Burrows is who he is. So I mean, it's going to be tough to say that they're going to be a top three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, defense, especially given the fact that he goes by Tom Brady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna play Josh Allen. Right. And they're gonna play Justin Herbert. It's gonna be a lot of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to say this. I don't want to say this, but I just thought, I'm like, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Baker, Baker looked good in Miami, dawg. Like, I was just sitting there thinking, like, did they draft a guy? I mean, if you're the Dolphins, you can't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is crazy. Drop it. You don't have any ballplayers. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to hear from him why he likes this because I don't get it. See, this is the easy part about this, man. Let's talk economics here, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's talk about, you, you, you're doing futures here, right? Your money today might not be your money tomorrow, right? So you take your money and you invest it. You don't, you don't buy the stock price when, when it's at an all time high. You buy the stock price when it's medium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking at a long-term investment here. If you look at a guy like Greg Olson, right? Everyone thinks Greg Olson is great. Great tight end, right? He had some great years. You know Greg Olson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you take a look at what Injoka was doing, you look at these guys. George Kiddos making a bunch of money. Dallas Goddard. All studs. Dallas Goddard. Goddard is not nobodies. Like, I'm not scared of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so here's what you think. When you get a Deshaun Watson,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me get, let me run a couple routes. I'm open too. You got a running game. You got all the fixings up front. You got the line. You can run play action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gonna be people rockin' right open. Omari Cooper is your best receiver you've had since 99. I'll put it on the books. Harrison Bryant couldn't be that guy. Yea, if that's the case. For a lot less money. And we have an affinity to tight ends. You know Kevin Stefanski want 10 tight ends. So he's like, okay, well look, we got rid of Hooper, he's not no good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who cares about the money? Well, if there was no salary cap, we'd never even have this conversation. By the way, let me give you this. Who have the Browns not been able to go sign because they gave somebody else money? J.C. Treader. And J.C. Treader was okay, but he's not no all pro. Second best center in the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would I take my money and give it to somebody else when I don't know what they're about? I don't know what type of game they got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna move on partly because you didn't do anything, but partly because we think David and Joku can be a bigger part of the offense. And I also look at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always talk about this with quarterbacks, right? And, and so it's either like they get all the credit or they get all the blame, right? So I'm going to ask myself, and I asked the panel, is it a coincidence Odell had the worst year of his life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Is it a coincidence Jarvis Landry had the worst year of his life? David and Joku's numbers are down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait a minute, in Landry's case, he was hurt and the guy had never been hurt. I mean, he was hurt a couple years. What I'm saying is, it matters who's throwing you the football. I know, but Baker's been throwing to them for a couple years. And have they had crazy numbers? No! No, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as a coach, as an organization, everybody ain't gonna come out an A-plus player. They believe that he has the raw materials to do what he needs to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bag? And what I mean the bag, I mean, is it going to be Josh Allen bag money or is it, or are they trying to give him a little tear? Even the joku money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite Cleveland sports moment would have to be the Kyrie Irving 2016 shot. It's the only time that I've ever cried over any sport event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cleveland sports to me is bigger than anything. It's bigger than some people's marriages. They say the Dallas Cowboys are America's team. No, no, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has a hell of a skill set. I think people think like he's like this medium throw in player. This guy's giving you 24 a night, man. At his peak, he's giving you 24 and you can't find guys to just roll out of the bed and get you 24. When I was looking at what the Cavs were missing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's that dude, and I'm gonna ask you this too. Uhm, you look at the Boston Celtics, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Cleveland Cavaliers can be, they gave you a good idea of what you need to do. Tatum and Brown were together, and they lost a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They finally got over the hump now because they were together. They've been, they've been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Serena, let me ask you this question. Uhm, we talk about Derek Scarlett. We talk about Allen. We talk about Evan Mobley. In three years, who's the Cavs best player?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, LeBron is one of the best players in the world right now. No argument. Uhm, second of all,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's a thing to be said for, Kyrie Irving just came out and said, he really didn't realize what it was and how good he had it until he went somewhere else. He said, man, we could have won championships. We could have did a lot of different things. If my mind state was saying, you know what, I kind of got it good. I think the only, it would take some time, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think at that point in time, you ain't making concessions under the age of 26. Colin Sexton, I want a mega deal. Uh, Darius Garland wants a mega deal. They want a, they want a legacy on their own. So, so the thought process of LeBron coming back in, like to your point is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if you win here, that's LeBron's credit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't think, I don't think you can naturally just assume from year to year you're gonna be there. That's true. Landon Hawks went to the Eastern Conference Finals, they got put out. Yeah. I think that what it matters is we see when you have stars, if you develop one of those top five guys,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are now in a program where you can do, host and do some of those things. Right. If you got a guy like Evan Mobley who comes along and says, I'm moving from 15 and 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To 21 and 12 and a couple of block shots. I think now you have a situation with Colin Sexton where you, you could put the calves in a four or five slot and see what happens. But year to year is tough in the NBA. It is very tough. Very tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so then would it be between the Phillies and the Sixers? Were they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cleveland sports to me is bigger than anything. It's bigger than some people's marriages. They say the Dallas Cowboys are America's team. No, no, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dallas is not America's team. Cleveland is America's team. And sports in Cleveland is a religion. Uh, it's a way of life. Uh, it doesn't matter where you're from. It doesn't matter how much money you make. It doesn't matter. Sports is a way for people in Cleveland to get together. And it's something that can't be replicated in Cleveland. Sports is a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that was quick. Gotta hear this. This was, I was, you know, I was at OU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and at OU I was the man, and I used to wear these extravagant costumes, like extravagant gear, and I had this, this silk button-up one. It was like fluorescent silk, and it had, I had aviators, pink aviators, and it was, and I had a light-up belt that said G. Bush, and it scrolled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm eating a Savaki sandwich in front of the pub in this place called the Dugout. It's a little perch. And soon as I turn around, I'm eating this sandwich and it had extra spicy, like, Savaki sauce on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These dudes jumped off like it was the Michael Jackson, you know, beat it video. And it's my crew over there, sitting by the wall, and his crew, his crew looking at my crew, and I'm still eating a sandwich. Post slap? No, just before the slap. Pre slap. I'm eating a sandwich, this guy walks up to me and says, buddy, you got lingerie on. Uh oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, it was kinda funny, my people laughed. Like, ah, G Bush!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, man, if you don't get up away from here, let me alone. I'm trying to eat my situation. I turn around and walk away. Next thing I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, by the way, he smacked it out of my hand. He ended up losing. He didn't, he lost that night. He didn't know, like, he was dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're all parachuting down. Listen, we was like, hey, hey, they were like, we're poor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma tell you what, all depends on what that buy-in is. If the buy-in was crazy, it get real, like, hold on, hold on, hold on, and I'm right by you, and I'm up underneath the stand, it's the last week, and you make him. And he's a pro ball player too. But he quit the middle of the season, so I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, he picked and choose who he was gonna put hands on. We all know that, listen, there's a lot, there's not that many tough guys out here. He was tough for the right guy. He wasn't hitting Aaron Judge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He need to catch him when he ain't looking. It's time. I'm catching him. You got me in public. I'm not going to stop until I get you back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, no one won this week. Right, it was kind of a wash. I mean, it's a wash, bro. I mean, he's already, he's already up 13 the first week. So for me, I was trying, when you got the holiday, you're just trying to maintain. Yeah, Memorial Day weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we need to cut some room because of the Jokus contract. Yeah, exactly. I did one of Locked On Brown's podcast that may have said Kareem Hunt could beat Oddman out. That was it. It was just one, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good morning. Good morning. Haven't we met somewhere before? I don't think so. I've got a wonderful memory for faces. Well, I haven't, but I think I remember yours. I mean... My name is Trentler. Yes, you're Mr. Barrington's assistant, aren't you? Yes, I am. That is laboratory. Yes, it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does it mean? If you must know, it's a game of chess we're playing. I can't see how it can possibly concern you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There have been studies that have looked at a very wide range of scenarios up to, for example, rises of four meters.
