[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She also stressed that apart from the quality of the magic stones and demon blood, the appropriate method of carving the vessels on the stone was also crucial to making a good sigil, albeit it being a less important factor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One could directly use a stick to draw a straight line if the time was limited, but carving intricate patterns on the stone would be able to fully bring its power into play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was proud to say that no hands could be more exquisite and precise than her tentacles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of sense of touch, control of strength, and not to mention the numerical advantage, the human hand was no match against her tentacles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Celine goes on bragging about her tentacles, strange ideas kept popping up in Roland's mind, and it took him along while before he could get back to reality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, Celine could not read his thoughts when their minds were communicating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, there would be no way for him to explain himself out of this. But of course, there was also the bad news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It turned out that the anti-air effectiveness of the Mark 1 type HMG was mostly unsatisfactory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By looking at the overview of the battle, Roland found that the hail of bullets fired when the enemies were closer to the wall was the most deadly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demons, at first, did not expect that they would be attacked, so they flew and slowly cramped up into two tight formations. This made them perfect targets for the guns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, out of the twelve devil beasts that came, only four were shot down by the guns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the demons changed the tactic and started to disperse as they entered the effective range for the mad demon spears, no bullets succeeded in bringing any of them down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, the Demon's ideal range of spear throwing was about 200 meters, a distance short enough for the bullets of Mark 1 to keep a straight trajectory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After three more devil beasts were hit, the rest of the demons stopped fighting and retreated immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, if the enemy's attacking range was farther, or if they chose to approach the walls in a more spread out formation, this battle would have been much harder to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, in the face of the enemies that could maneuver freely in the air, the disadvantages of the immobile defenders on the ground were apparent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland would try to improve the Mark I after this, but there were limited things he could do with the design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He might add a protective steel plate around the gun or convert the guns into small forts to protect the gunners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, he would increase the production of Mark 1 to deal with the war after the Bloody Moon arrives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, Roland understood that there was no way for them to eliminate the Devil Beasts threat unless Neverwinter had a comparable air force. But let him put the concern aside for now. Roland put down the quill and let out a long breath. Finally, he won the air defense battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter how insignificant it was, the battle would be regarded as the first battle in the human history that was won with the help of firearms. At the thought of that, Roland sent for Bear of Mons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make it as good and as lively as possible as the ones we have on Victory Day. It'll be a part of the propaganda. Do you understand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, your majesty, Barov responded with a hand on his chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth returned to the low table and craned his head to look out of the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sun had barely set, and there was still a faint trace of light outside as if a misty veil covered the sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth had been sleepy when he was awakened, but he could not be sober now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing the City Hall's red seal on the envelope, he vaguely knew what was in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His life had changed significantly in the past a year and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he moved in Border Town, he no longer had to live a rat-like life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, he, like most people, started to make a living by himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, still, he had not believed such things would happen to him until he got his first pay, for he was so, so familiar with hires who were notorious for exploiting their workers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those corrupt people would cheat workers out of receiving their wages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was especially so for a worker like him, who was a migrant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, on the contrary, he got a full pay every month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now he couldn't even imagine how much his life would continue to improve in the days to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a salary of 12 silver royals per month, he could save up one odd gold royal for a down payment on the cheapest house in the residential area of Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if he took a part-time job, he might be able to buy the house much earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that he was clear about how long it would take him to achieve his goal, he started to look forward to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As His Majesty's promises to the people were getting realized one after another, Snake Tooth started to hope for more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth carefully unsealed the letter and poured all the contents onto the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were three pieces of paper of different sizes and colors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first piece was the thickest and palm-sized, with only a few words on it, but it made his heart thud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without any doubt, it was an identity card of a formal Neverwinter citizen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike the temporary card, this card was wrapped up by a transparent and hard film that gave a smooth touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On it read not only his name and the day of his birth, but also a vivid portrait of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, he had become a member of this city, in a subject that was acknowledged by the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth tried to compose himself before he looked at the second piece of paper. It was a written notice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were many paragraphs he could not fully understand, as he was only able to spend limited time on night classes since coming to Neverwinter, but he was able to grasp the general idea of the content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he had expected, his application for participating the railway construction in the Misty Forest was passed by the City Hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scuffling noises woke Tiger Claw up and he yawned and scooched next to Snake Tooth. What's this? A letter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth immediately pushed Tiger Claws' face away, afraid that he would drool on the letter. What's wrong? Why don't you get back to sleep? I'm hungry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want something to eat, Tiger Claws said as he rubbed his belly. Then go boil some water and cook. I want oatmeal, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Tiger Claw replied and then remembered something. You haven't answered my question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go to the market and buy some dried fish and mushrooms. I'm still trying to save money. I can lend you some, Tiger Claw said unconcernedly. You've been waiting for your ID card for so long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How could we just let this moment pass without a nice meal for celebration? Did you forget what you said the day I got my ID card?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth knew he couldn't reject Tiger Claw kind intentions. Tiger Claw was a tall and sturdy man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He worked hard and was often much more efficient than other workers, especially when he had enough food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His foreman was aware of this and started to value him more and later even chose him to be the model worker of the third construction team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He earned a higher wage and also got a bonus, so he actually had enough money to pay for the down payment of a house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any migrants would get their ID cards if they gained permanent abode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what happened recently. There are demons outside the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demon's recent attack on the city wall had stirred up major unrest amongst the citizens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, the alarm went off again and again. Then, there were weird monsters dropping into the city. And then the ceremony held at that night was just mind-boggling to everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] King Roland announced publicly that they were the enemies humanity will have to face sooner or later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also stressed that the so-called barbarian land was not deserted at the beginning, but instead a place that was once had a nicer name, Fertile Plains. That was where humans used to live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not until demonic beasts and demons started to harass them did people began to retreat to where the four kingdoms are now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the people who fled from the fertile plains established the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lied about the enemies, describing them as being omnipotent and falsely accused the witches of being related to the demons, out of fear for their magic powers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the victory Neverwinter had achieved this time proved that even though the demons were cunning and frightening, they were not invincible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To expand the territory and protect Neverwinter from the enemy's attack, the king decided to march on the barbarian land as soon as possible to reclaim the land that had once belonged to humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The King's declaration during the celebration inspired countless cheers, and as the First Army served meat porridge and roasts to the audiences, the atmosphere at the square reached its peak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the next five days, you could hear people discussing about the demons everywhere you went.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth's colleagues in the construction team were no different. They were the most interested in the topics like Demon and Demonic Beast. Which one is stronger? Should Neverwinter expand to the Northwest?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, the city hall issued a series of recruitment announcements, one of which was the job of building the railway in the Misty Forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth barely cared about the answers to these questions, yet he felt what his majesty had said somehow enlighten his mind. Suddenly his mind became clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had never thought about where he had come from and where he would go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he finally understood that all of them had migrated from the barbarian land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world was much larger than the four kingdoms, and its boundaries stretched far beyond the Feral Plains, which by itself was several times larger than Greycastle. Also, he was tempted by the good pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tiger Claw turned around and grabbed Snake Tooth by his arm and said, You were always the insightful one, so I think you should understand this clearer than me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demons are not as easy to deal with as everyone thinks they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How could the demons drive humanity to the brink of extinction if they were weak?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty said there used to be hundreds of city and millions of people living on the fertile plains. Of course I know that. That's why I have made up my mind. Snake Tooth remained unmoved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pay is 35 silver royals per month, and they will even pay me the first six months salary before I start work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got a hot water supply system, and the kitchen and bathroom are separated. That's what a house should be like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although he did not get paid as much as Tigerclaw, he had saved up about one gold royal by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever since he had seen their foreman's home, he had decided to buy a suite of two rooms of his own in the residential area in the inner city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But because down payment would cost him three gold royals, which was much higher than normal houses, he hadn't been able to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most importantly, although Snake Tooth did not tell others, two bedrooms would be more comfortable for the both of them, unlike the single room where they had to share a small bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only difference was that most of the risks we took at that time ended up being in vain, while now we could at least ensure that our effort will pay off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You all think I have a quick wit, but that's scarcely useful in Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we wanted to have a safe and settled life, why did we move to a foreign city to begin with? You know that I can never win an argument with you. Tiger Claw raised his hands in surrender. I have no objection as long as you have thought things through. Don't worry. I'm not so reckless as to care only about profit. Snake Tooth said as he spread his palm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The First Army will be responsible for the security, and it's said that some witches will set out with the construction team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that you got a job with a better pay, I will make the most out of this meal. Snake tooth rolled his eyes at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Tiger Claw was washing, Snake Tooth unfolded the third piece of paper and he was a little shocked by the content. It was a transfer contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In short, it said that no matter what happened, the city hall would not go back on anyone's salaries and rewards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The workers could choose any person to whom he or she would sign over their property in case of major accidents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That person would receive the notification from the city hall as soon as the transfer contract is valid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake tooth closed his eyes. Some figures flashing through his mind. Joe. Sunflower. Tiger Claw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last, the frame froze at a skinny, fair-skinned girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snake Tooth picked up the charcoal and wrote the name carefully in the blank space provided in the contract. Paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford Quinn stood in front of the French window with a filled wine glass in hand and stared at the city covered by the night sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the center of the Kingdom of Dawn, also known as the city that never sleeps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The light started from the rising sun avenue and extended to both sides like a lush tree of light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the top of the tree was the most famous market of the kingdom, where countless rare products were sold. For the merchants, the night was when their day started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To maintain the glittering glory of the city, the daily consumption of candles, firewood, and kerosene in the King's City was astonishing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fish fat from the eastern harbor and the wood from the northern hills were continuously imported into the city ship after ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This industry alone could feed nearly 10,000 people and more than 100 merchants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this was only a small part of the commercial trade of this city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally, Horford's greatest pleasure was to enjoy the glow of the Night City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the joint governance of John Moore's royalties and the three families, the city changed from a wasteland into today's famous bustling place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was also due to the continual efforts of their ancestors. But today, he felt tired seeing all of this. The night scene of the City of Glow looked the same as before. It remained captivating and touching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet just outside the range of its glow was a dark undercurrent could no longer be ignored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even while faced with such a brightly lit domain, he still felt a great deal of anxiety maybe he was getting old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford sipped his wine but the bitterness in his mouth overpowered the wine's sweetness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hesitated for a moment then waved his hand at the old butler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old butler immediately nodded then turned and walked out of the study.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing that only two of them were left in the room, Han started to voice out his worries. Father, this is the twelfth noble that you have rejected. Even I know that there's a problem in the palace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These foreign nobles' intention for entering the city was very obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you refuse to see them, I'm afraid they will mistakenly think that. Mistakenly think what? Mistakenly think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl Quinn turned around and frowned at the heir to the Quinn family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think it's a mistake that the three families are on the side of the King of Dawn?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now his majesty no longer needs us, said Han, as he mustered up his courage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since our army suffered a huge loss in Hermes, he no longer asks for your consultation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the prime minister, and you can't even enter the royal palace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now even the patrol team has been replaced by mercenaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just look at the kind of people who are summoned into the palace these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Earl did not answer, but just stared silently at his glass of wine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Han was only 18 years old, but even he could see what the arrival of the nobility from all over the country to the King's city meant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other local nobles must have also already sensed the changes in the castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, when he learned of the defeat of their supposedly unstoppable army, he had already expected that this day would come. More than 10,000 troops and most of the lords of the towns were involved in trying to get a piece of fortune from the husk of the once mighty church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, not only did they not earn any benefits, many of the troops even lost their lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would have been fine if that was the only consequence, but the King of Dawn had come back alive with his nightage in shambles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The news of Appen's shameful return had spread like wildfire as it fulfilled two conditions at the same time. The need for someone to be held accountable for this failed mission, and the fact that the power Appen held was no longer enough to dispel the greed of the other nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These nobles that sneaked quietly into the city at night gave out a clear signal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They undoubtedly wanted to see the reactions of the three big families before deciding whether to support or unite. But no one would ever agree to uphold the status quo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford could guess the thoughts of these people even with his eyes closed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since there was such a huge loss of resources and Hermes, they would obviously try to find ways to make up for that loss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Father, Hans spoke hurriedly as he saw that his father was silent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things are not like they were 10 years ago, and Aben Moya is no longer as Majesty Moya. Look at the house of Lawashi. Otto Lawashi is still locked in the palace cell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the Prime Minister of the Imperial Palace, and you're held in high esteem by the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you make a stand and get the support of the two other big families, I'm sure the nobles will be happy to follow your lead. Make a stand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to stand on the side of His Majesty Appen, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, why would you claim to be sick and refuse to receive anyone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it were the old king, you would have personally persuaded those nobles to consider the stability of the kingdom first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford sighed and realized that his son was still too young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you're right, do you think that app in Moyo wouldn't have seen that coming? What? Han was stunned for a second. I bet there are eyes watching us just outside of our mansion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're spying on who I've met and where I've gone recently, and Unappen is kept well informed of this. The Earl returned to his desk and sat down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine what would have happened to me had I just went ahead and met those nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't forget that even if he lost his entire knightage, the control over the kingdom still wouldn't be that much weakened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the day Appen ascended the throne, he had already begun to change the guards and the castle guards to his people. Rebel right under his very nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think those noble lords will come to rescue me when he puts the noose around my neck? He slammed the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now do you understand why the Lawashi family and the Tokat family hadn't come to find me, but only the foreign nobles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horn gasped, then why don't you go back to the domain first?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least your knights and mercenaries are there, together with the recruited serfs. So even if he wants to plan anything against you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Earl shook his head and said, The Quinn family has already settled down here for far too long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our connections. Distant relatives. Productions. Power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if I could slip out of the city alone, I wouldn't be able to bring everything out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our people will suffer greatly at the hand of the king if they so much as make any suspicious moves. So I can't make such a rash move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, my stay in the city of glow is a guarantee in and of itself. Feigning illness was already the most that I could show. Other than that, there really isn't much that I can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being closely tied to the workings of the King's city used to be a source of pride for their family, yet it has now become the Quinn's fatal weakness. This was certainly a kind of irony. Really, but I don't think so. Just then, a strange voice came from outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford's face changed drastically as the speaker was obviously not a servant or guard of the household as intruding upon them like that was a serious offense. How did this person get through the guards? Why didn't anyone respond when the person spoke? Who's that? Horne was equally shocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned around in panic and looked for a weapon, but could only get his hands on a candlestick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The door opened and a blonde-haired girl appeared before Horford Quinn. The strange girl for some reason looked familiar to him. Do you remember me? My lord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl Quinn froze, and he did not even realize that he had dropped the wine glass he had been holding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The moment he saw her, he couldn't help but think of the name of two people. One of the two had stayed by him for more than half of his life. But because she had lost someone she loved, she fell into a depression that eventually led to the end of her life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other person was the love that was lost, and she was also someone he was supposed never to meet again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nearly ten years had passed, and even though she was now much taller and more beautiful, Earl Quinn could still recognize her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you saying that she's the one, the one that had passed away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old housekeeper was more excited than anyone else in the room. I can't be mistaken. She has inherited all the characteristics of Madam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems like you remember me, said Andrea, in an expressionless manner. In that case, our negotiation will be much easier. Horford could not help but feel rattled in his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that his daughter had awakened as a witch was a secret hidden from everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even Andrea's mother, his wife Fenancy, had no idea about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Andrea's maid had informed him about the incident, he instantly chose to drown the maid by pushing her into the river and had his men cover it up as a fake accident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although he knew that doing so might make his daughter hate him forever, at least this way she would remember who her father was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But upon meeting again, the decision he made all those years ago had turned into a sharp thorn in his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This stabbing sensation became even more apparent as he started to question whether he made the right choice back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Earl knew that there were more pressing matters now. Why Andrea would appear in the city of Glow, and whether her identity was true or false.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moreover, he couldn't figure out what she meant by I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These questions were more important than pursuing past mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing that he could not change his father's mind, Han left the room reluctantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't alarm the others, the Earl said to the steward, and at the same time close the courtyard door and put out the lights in the hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone in the government asks, just say that I'm drafting some documents and that no one should be allowed to disturb me. Do you understand? I will do that right away. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the door shut with a squeak, the study suddenly plunged into silence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pair stared at each other for a long time, until the Earl could not resist anymore and broke the silence first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although you and my daughter are a bit alike, I can't confirm so rashly that you're Andrea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, she was only 16 when she left, and now 10 years have passed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In truth, he had already believed that this was his daughter, so the question was just to confirm that even the best kind of face morphing abilities could not change one's soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From her every move, the Earl could see the shadow of the Flower of Glow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of answering, Andrea opened her hands, and a bow of magic power appeared in her palm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The glittering longbow converged and diminished little by little, evolving into a distinctive appearance that was a gift that he had made for his daughter's birthday a long time ago. At this point, Horford no longer had any doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This bow and arrow for beginners had long been destroyed together with the carriage, and even now he could not accurately describe its appearance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea, who was especially interested in shooting at an early age, clearly still remembered this gift. It's you. Said the Count with a long sigh. Why did you come back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gave you away in the first place so that you could continue to live safely. Was that the only reason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea retrieved the longbow and said, or were you afraid that outsiders would find out that the prime minister had a daughter that had fallen under the temptation of the demon? I didn't think I was being protected. It felt more like abandonment. There was no safe place for a witch like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it weren't for my luck that I got to meet a group of people who had the same fate as me, I would have died ages ago and who knows where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He opened his mouth but could not refute her argument because that was indeed one of his concerns back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once people found out that Andrea was a witch, the whole family would be in danger. Not everyone would be comfortable with sending their family to the church or the other nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than let the entire Quinn family face this difficult choice, it would be better for him to make that decision alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But those were all in the past, and I'm not here to dig up old wounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I saw the butler I deliberately waited for a while outside the door. Is the one who called you father the heir to the family? When did I have such a brother? He came from a branch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your mother died a year after you left, and the Quinn family needed a successor, Horford whispered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that incident did not happen ten years ago, this position would have belonged to the eldest daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After hearing this news, Andrea was stunned at first, then her eyes started to turn dim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the current situation, other than Earl Quinn of the three big families, he won't recognize any other agent. What does that mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even Earl Quinn, who had been through countless storms in his life, was left completely dumbfounded by Andrea's sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what he was surprised of was not her mention of a new King of Dawn, but that she was under orders of His Majesty Roland Wimbledon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These words carried a whole different meaning when said by different people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Han had essentially suggested the same thing earlier, but the Earl knew very well that the Quinn family alone had no way to rid Donovitz current royalty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What Han meant by taking a stand was just an unrealistic fantasy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, now that the one speaking had the support of the King of Grey Castle, those words carried more power. Just as you have thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably due to the news of her mother's death. Andrea's tone was no longer as sharp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His Majesty Roland doesn't want to have Appinmoya stay on the throne, but nor does he wish for a destabilized kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's therefore necessary to support a new king with the backing of the populace to successfully control the situation as soon as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After confirming that he didn't mishear her first sentence, the Earl muttered, but why me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty doesn't have many people that he can trust in the Kingdom of Dawn, so he chose me at first. But I refused. Just because of this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the daughter refused, so the throne was thrown to her father. This kind of behavior was like that of a child's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But strangely, Horford did not think that this was a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Appan had completely banned people from talking about the defeat at Hermes, it was impossible to block the flow of all the information related to the battle because too many nobles had been involved with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford knew very well that the enemy he encountered was not the church. It was Grey Castle that took over the Holy City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 10,000 strong army was defeated in an instant, and many of those who had survived could not even describe what happened during the battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They only saw flames continually falling from the heavens amidst the chaos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thunder-like flashes of fire smashed into their ranks, reducing both common serfs and armored knights into piles of ashes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the news was anywhere near accurate, this meant that Greycastle's power had far exceeded the expectations of the nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With such great discrepancy in military might, it would not be unreasonable for Grey Castle to appoint new kings for neighboring countries anyhow they liked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only question left was why the king did not come himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the nobles in the Kingdom of Dawn were willing to group their forces under a single banner and start a rebellion together, the Earl would have definitely chosen this option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea seemed to have anticipated that he would try to raise this question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simply said, right now, His Majesty Roland has more important enemies to deal with, so he does not have the time nor resources to try to integrate the Kingdom of Dawn into Grey Castle in the next three or four years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, even though destroying the current ruling royalty was simple, restabilizing the country afterward would be a lengthy process. More important, enemies? Yes, the demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andreas said slowly, Oto Passi should have already mentioned that all the church's actions were due to the news of the battle of Doomsday. That was just a small part of the mystery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The name of this war was called the Battle for Divine will and has lasted for nearly a thousand years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After listening to his daughter's story, Earl Horford felt the cold sweat run down his back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Four Kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Dawn, was merely a corner of a continent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As of now, humanity had already suffered defeat in two consecutive wars and was unable to stop the advance of the demons. And a third defeat would lead to the extinction of humankind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under such dire circumstances, Roland Wimbledon still dared to bear this heavy burden and go to battle with a mighty enemy to gain divine will. How much will encourage would a man need to do this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just thinking about it was already enough to cause the Earl to forget to breathe for a couple of seconds. Why? said the Earl hurriedly. How would this benefit him? Does he not fear the consequences of failing? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea sighed and said, this has been mentioned by her highness Tilly previously, but her speculation was even more puzzling. What did she say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said that he's not doing it for humanity, but for himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She hesitated and said, it was as if he was looking for a new challenge and we just happened to be the beneficiaries in this situation. The Earl did not answer because he did not know what to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had seen many different nobles, but none of them was anything like Roland Wimbledon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your only job would be to maintain the stability of the Kingdom of Dawn and provide resources when needed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This includes manpower, raw ore, and other kinds of resources.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the specific amounts and types, His Majesty will later send someone to discuss with you in detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford was relieved to hear that there was a price to pay for Greycastle's support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Roland wanted to support the Quinn family without asking for anything in return, he would certainly be suspicious of any conspiracies behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, even if there was a conspiracy with the current situation in Dawn, he could only bite the bullet and agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feigning illness was only a delaying tactic to reach a balance between Appen and the other nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If those nobles turned out to be capable of overthrowing the Moya family, Quinn's family would undoubtedly be excluded from the ruling circle of the King's city due to them just remaining a spectator. That would actually have been the ideal result.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If anyone wanted to overthrow the three big families, it would not be at all difficult to spread rumors about them still owning allegiances to the royal family. This was a rare opportunity. Not to mention the involvement of Andrea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She might hate me, but she would never cause her family any harm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as he thought of this, Earl Horford immediately made a decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please inform His Majesty Wimbledon that I'm willing to serve the King of Greycastle. He spoke in a serious manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although he was speaking to his daughter, she was now the king's messenger, hence the earl gave a slight bow according to the rules of the nobles. When would ye like to take action?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would take at least two to three months to prepare for Great Castle's troops to infiltrate the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if Appen took away his power to run the patrol team, Horford was still confident about letting dozens or so great castle men into the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, as the prime minister who had served two different kings, his still had a certain degree of influence within the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Earl believed that those four nobles who wanted to persuade him over to their side also realized this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the strength that Grey Castle had demonstrated in the previous battle they fought with Dawn's troops, dozens of the Grey Castle soldiers should be more than enough to take control of the city gate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, Andrea's following words went far beyond his expectations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that you've promised to our request, we will act immediately, she said lightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His Majesty Roland had emphasized that he did not want a political assassination, but rather a complete defeat of Appin-Moya in front of the public.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only does everyone need to witness the end of the Moya family, the greedy nobles who had selfish intentions would also have to be convinced that any resistance is futile. What? He did not believe what he had heard. But how? Do you know how I got here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea laid out her hands and said, I came in from the main entrance. Those guards did try to stop me but they couldn't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford immediately realized that the friends she brought were the key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barging into the Earl's residence at the King's City was not an impossible feat, as this was not his home territory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to do so without raising any alarms was quite astounding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This meant that the guards were most likely subdued within an instant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no doubt that this was not Andrea's doing, as each of those guards was armed with a god stone of retaliation. Wait till you meet them. All of your doubts would naturally vanquish by then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She continued and said, So what the Quinn family needs to do right now is to cause a scene. The louder the noise, the better it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone in the glowing city should have their attention on this so that Abenmoyo will have no choice but to come out and face you in public.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The candles on the candlestick had already burnt to the bottom, and the remaining flickers of flame weren't enough to light up the dark room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could not tell day from night in this underground cell and the candle became his only measure of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guards would replace the candles every six hours when they come to bring him food. But that was only in the beginning. Now they seldom came, be it with candle or food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes he would wake up from hunger and find that the cell was still completely dark. How long had he been locked here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Auto pressed and shook his forehead, trying to squeeze out any last bit of remaining energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The prolonged lack of sunlight had made him haggard and constantly waking up in an isolated and pitch black environment made him feel helpless and abandoned. As if he'd forgotten by the world. But he must live on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because both his father's and Tire Lawashi family's fates are in Appen's hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otto propped up his frail body, rolled out of bed, and limped slowly to the railings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than replenishing the plates and jugs, he also hoped that the caretaker could give him a razor blade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His long unshaven beard had long since covered his cheeks, and bits and pieces of leftover food and grease could be found stuck there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over time, his face smelled like rotten orange peels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If his caretaker were worried about the blade being a potential weapon, Otto wouldn't even mind letting the caretaker shave him instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, he was still a noble, and the request for grooming shouldn't be something unreasonable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otto then heard the sounds of a conversation outside the iron gate. What were those people thinking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The person in prison here is the eldest son of the Passy family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ones who were speaking did not try to cover up their voices so it seemed that they did not mind their conversation being heard by Otto. Jokes and ridicule. Isn't that what clowns do? Are they crazy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally, if these acrobats dared to offend the Earl's son, I'm afraid that they would be fed to the fishes next day. They're nothing more than a group of homeless wanderers. Well, that was when times were normal. Back then, would the eldest son be kept in the dungeon? Now His Majesty likes to see these guys perform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without the approval of the King of Dawn, I don't think they would dare to do such a thing. Pui, you're just speaking nonsense. I'm just saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the sound of a bunch of keys jingling around could be heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, and if this is what his majesty wants to see, they aren't you just asking for trouble? Go ahead. I still have to retrieve the food tray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a little surprised to see Otto already leaning against the railings, but he quickly hid his awkward expression. Well then, you might as well finish up today's dinner now. I'll change the candles tomorrow. The chief steward forgot to send new ones over. Otto did not answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He suddenly felt his heart fill with sorrow, and he even forgot to request for a razor blade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the exchange between the two people was short, he was still able to figure out the gist of the conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The clown of the circus troupe happened to bump into the man who was responsible for delivering his food, and he spat a few mouthfuls of saliva into his food in an attempt to amuse Apemoya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Shane made his cheeks burn as if they were being baked in an oven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the room was decorated like the room from a duke's mansion, the sense of repression that could be felt inside was unbearable, and no one would want to spend more time in there than they needed to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the footsteps went away, the silence once again washed over Otto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that very moment, he wanted to scream out loud, curse the warden for his negligence and duty, and reproach Appen for his ignorance, yet he did not do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that would be meaningless. The former would only delay the next replacement time of the food and candles, while the latter would just gladly let him fall into the trap of his old friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the dinner that was used to humiliate him, he had no intention to touch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otto could not help but wonder if he had been doing the right thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as he was ready to go back to bed, his whole body suddenly started trembling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the corner of his eye, the oatmeal started to turn into a bowl of black water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passy's eldest son rubbed his eyes, slowly moved closer to the plate, and carefully lifted the bowl of oatmeal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was not an illusion, nor was it the shadow of the weak flame. The oatmeal had turned black, like some thick ink. Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As to why His Majesty would choose me was probably because my acrobatic performance wasn't bad. Oh, can you demonstrate it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'll perform the simplest trick of the thief who spits ink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otto stared blankly at the oatmeal for a moment and suddenly inserted his finger into the bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After groping around for a little while at the tip of his finger, he could feel a rough touch. How? How did this happen? Why did the water suddenly change color? It's not done yet. Look at this chiffon. Can you see there's nothing on it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otto gently pinched that rough item and slowly pulled it out of the oatmeal. It looked almost transparent and he couldn't tell if it was immersed in the oatmeal. The chiffon could only be felt with his fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He held his breath, walked quickly to the candlestick and spread it out a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The swaying shadow seemed to come from all directions, and it was as if the black chiffon he held in his hands was the only light in the whole world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the moment the letter marks appeared, the candle went out. Darkness then engulfed the entire dungeon. Otto could not help but laugh heartily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He pressed down on his trembling shoulders and stuffed the chiffon into his mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he crawled back to the railing and swallowed it with the oatmeal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The warmth spread through his throat and stomach and filled his whole body with strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, compared to the oatmeal, it was his heart that felt warmest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he drank the oatmeal silently, a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye. His determination was finally worth it. There were only a few words on the chiffon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The King of Dawn pushed away the dancer in his arms as he suddenly stood up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dancer, a beautiful woman with nothing more than a pink silk scarf wrapped around her half covered body, fell to the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though she was hurt badly, she did not dare to voice out her pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Secretary of State gulped and said, Your Prime Minister has rebelled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you sure he is truly rebelled and isn't just supporting those idiots on the outside?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appen didn't know whether it was him who had misheard his minister or it was the fault of his staff blowing the news out of proportion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, he knew about the plans of those traitorous nobles. Everyone who had returned alive from Hermes had witnessed the destruction of the king's personal knightage as well as his miserable escape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would have been naive of him to expect them to remain loyal to the royal family. Some amount of rebellion was only to be expected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gathering support and forming alliances with the three major families in the Royal Capital would clearly be their first choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appen had long been wary about this, but he believed that, going by the characters of the three old veterans, they would most likely play by the rules and lie low behind closed doors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, the King's city was still in his hands, and any act of defiance was tantamount to suicide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not expect that the first to cause a problem would be the Quinn family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The collision with the smaller lords had already violated Appen's bottom line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no matter what the reason was, punishment was absolutely inevitable for such an impertinent act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, Ado Luwashi, Appen had already shown mercy by not killing his childhood friend on the spot. But what does rebelling mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl Quinn is still in the city of Glow, and he has neither subjects nor soldiers here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does he want to rebel with just his dozen or so guards alone? That would be ridiculous. How would he be able to rebel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Earl did contact the other nobles, but not in secret. He issued an invitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The minister wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, and he publicly invited all the nobles to his mansion to persuade them to support the Quinn family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appen was stunned and almost unable to understand the news he had heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This move could indeed be perceived as a rebellion, but the way he did it was incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of asking for help from the nobles, he's asking them to support the Quinn family. Does Horford really know what he's doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This act was undoubtedly going to turn both sides into bitter enemies, and there was no way Moya could ever tolerate such a grave act of provocation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sheer stupidity of the situation would only make those nobles look down on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But still, was the prime minister such an arrogant person in the past?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appen brooded silently for a long time before finally saying, pass my orders down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Commander Duke Batchiff is to lead the patrol team to the Earl's residence, arrest Horford Quinn, and bring him in front of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone else in his residence is to be temporarily locked up in custody. If anyone opposes him, he may kill them on the spot. I would like to see how the Earl is going to explain this. Yes, Your Majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After this news, he was no longer in the mood for seeking pleasure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He dismissed everyone in the hall and sat paralyzed on the throne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't really want to drown himself in pleasure, but once the surroundings became quiet his ears would echo once again with the roar of the sky thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The war that ended more than a month ago had left a deep impression on him that he could never forget. No. It was not a war, but a one sided massacre. His troops had no strength to fight back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it was the knights or the serfs, it made no difference when they were faced with the attack from Grey Castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he got back to the King's city, Appen found that he no longer had the courage to confront Roland. The failure on the battlefield caused him even more heartache than the death of his father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What made things even worse was the fact he knew that the Moya family had effectively lost the entire kingdom of Dawn. What was the fate of offending a powerful neighbor?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no doubt that, sooner or later, the other party would annex the country that he inherited from his father, and there was nothing he could do about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he ascended the throne, he was full of ambition and was bent on governing this kingdom well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted the citizens to live a stable life and no longer have to worry about witches, demonic beasts, or other foreign threats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just a year after he took over and he was already completely disillusioned and had lost interest in political affairs and commerce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was just waiting for the enemy's army to attack and leave him hanging on the city wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he thought about this point, Appen's hatred toward the King of Grey Castle kept growing immensely, and he wanted to eat him alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If not for Roland Wimbledon, he would have left a mark in the pages of history as a famous leader of his generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All this was the latter's fault. Greycastle's new king had been bewitched by witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He slammed his palm on the armrest, and the burning fire in his heart had nowhere to be vented.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Earl Quinn has been captured, I will make him have a taste of a king's anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, they had hidden bodyguards. The minister quickly replied, I saw it with my own eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, Batch have asked the Earl to come out and barge directly into the house after being denied. But he was immediately killed by the Earl's guards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only that, these guards also rushed out of the courtyard and ambushed the patrol team that was outside the mansion. They were like madmen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had all kinds of weapons in their hands, including boning knives, wooden sticks, and even stone bricks. In less than half a minute, the platoon collapsed. How many people did they have? Probably seven or eight. Bastard. App instruct the minister to the ground. You call seven or eight people an ambush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the city of Glow, even a businessman has a dozen guards. Have you been scared out of your wits? The patrol team has about one or two hundred people. How can they be defeated by seven or eight guards?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even 200 wild boars wouldn't fall so fast. Don't tell me they can't even compare to pigs in the hunting grounds. Your majesty, those people aren't human beings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're monsters. The minister cried out his grievances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the patrol team couldn't even block a single one of their blows. That wasn't the strength and speed of a man. Appen suddenly jerked up his head. He seemed to have seen this type of scenario before. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He remembered now that his father's killers, the two pure witches from the church, had shown him the terrifying prowess of the God's punishment army. Could Earl Quinn be connected with the church? An uncontrollable anger suddenly rose from his heart. Rizzeth. Appen yelled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A knight came in quickly from outside the hall and knelt on one knee. Your majesty, what may I do for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately summon all the mercenaries in the city of Glow and bring in the crossbows and rockets. I want you to burn Earl Quinn's residence to the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the inner city. The knight hesitated and said, If it causes a big fire, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control it. Shut up and do what I say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appen growled hysterically, if you don't burn him, you don't have to come back to see me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the God's Punishment Army, when faced with an opponent a hundred times their number and armored with crossbows, would not have a chance of victory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they wanted to collude with the church, they would only be facing death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next day, the King of Dawn once again received news from the watchdogs that the entire mercenary group that had been prepared the night before had failed to even reach the Urals' residence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While passing through the Rising Sun Avenue, the mercenary teen was attacked by an acrobatics troop. He had to make sure he hadn't misheard the minister's report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An acrobatics troop performing on the street suddenly attacked the mercenaries in the middle of their performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mercenaries caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed those actors fought the same way as Earl Quinn's guards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this time, the weapons in their hands were no longer random debris. They were wielding the daggers, iron hammers, and wooden shields that had belonged to the former patrol team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the next few days, the situation had changed so rapidly that it was beyond everyone's expectations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Quinn family, who had served the royal family of Moya for hundreds of years, publicly opposed Appin Moya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was not a secret conspiracy, nor a conflict of interest between noble families which civilians simply could not understand. Everything was on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Prime Minister of the City of Glow stood in front of everyone and publicly declared his ideals and purpose, which was overthrowing the rule of the incompetent tyrant and promising a bright future for the Kingdom of Dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his speech, the Earl exemplified the signs of the decline of the city and the tyranny of the new king for more than a year, and he used precise evidence to describe the inevitable fall of the Kingdom of Dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since no noble ever told the people the principles and inside information of running the domain and the speaker was the prime minister who had served the king for over a decade, his acts surprisingly caused a heated discussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the auction house of the Chamber of Commerce to the taverns on the Black Street, nearly everyone was talking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have heard that hundreds of people starved to death in the slums last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It turned out to be caused by the reduction of cultivated land in the outer cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In actuality, more people died in the outer cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is nothing wrong with His Majesty's decision to occupy the land for the expansion of the palace, but the Earl said that the amount of grain saved is gradually decreasing. What should we do? No wonder the price of food is so much higher recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard that the peasants in suburban towns were forced to serve in the army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that the army was defeated few people are able to come back. Doesn't that mean that the food prices will be even higher?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I hope we won't starve during the months of demons this year. Well, do you want to support Earl Quinn?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has promised, if his promises hold, that there will be no need to worry about the food in the city of glow and everyone will be able to get enough food in the future. Hey, I didn't say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The speech of the Prime Minister quickly spread throughout the city of Glow through these discussions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite a large portion of the people were doubtful about the contents of the propaganda, and it was the conflict itself that drew their close attention to this issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How often could they witness the conflicts between the great nobles and the royal family of Moya?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the general public, they usually only heard, from the tavern, the exaggerated and modified rumors, or boast of the nobles. These days it was simply too exciting for them. This was not a show of drama, but a real treason. King Appan did not remain indifferent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had ordered several groups of men to stop Earl Quinn, all of which ended in failure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl Quinn possessed advantages beyond imagination, and an incredibly powerful guard team became his solid shield, which not only defeated the King's team in spite of a number's disadvantage, and expanded from a dozen to 40 or 50 members.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was more exciting was that the Earl explained his plan directly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would move the frontier line 200 meters toward the castle district every day until the King of Dawn gave up his throne or was forcibly removed off the throne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't it the problem which my father ordered him to investigate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How dare ye blame me for the cause of uncivilized suburban villages and towns? It's Roland Wimbledon's fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He almost roared. It was his witches who killed them, not me. Your majesty, please appease your anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The minister and chief knight said, Now the most important thing is to stop the pace of Horford Quinn so you can dispel his arrogance. The nobles and the kingdom are waiting for your move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should have thrown them all into jail at the very beginning, have been thought in anger and then asked, how many people do we have now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if we use the maids and servants, then we have an additional two thousand hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chief knight replied, outside the castle district, the stone wall can block the enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though it's not as thick as the city walls, they can stand on it and easily kill the enemy even without much training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Originally, he intended not to show his hand until he dealt with other lords, especially since the palace lifeguards were nearly as strong as the knights and were equipped to teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had begun to cultivate them before his father passed away, but now he had to use them in the defense of the palace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bring the boxes in the vault and tell the servants that they can get a reward of 100 gold royals as long as they kill a monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The God's punishment warriors of the Church were not impervious to blades and spears, which He had confirmed from the pure witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though the monsters were powerful, it was impossible for them to remove the entire stone wall by hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the fact that the monsters were increasing in number, it must be a trick played by Earl Quinn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He must have arranged for them to hide somewhere beforehand, and then disguised themselves as if he had more and more helpers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No noble would believe that there were so many fierce warriors in the city of Glo, and that they did not emerge until now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is rumored that black money started to come into contact with Earl Quinn. But the specifics of the situation is still not known yet. Those greedy wolves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appin clenched his fist and angrily said, My father treated their underground kennel as part of the market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my opinion, I should have confiscated their property much earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he also knew that he could do nothing but express his anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The organizers of Black Money were all rich businessmen in the city of Glow, and their status was no lower than that of the great nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moreover, a large amount of wealth accumulated by the Moya family came from those people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition, the Toecat family has openly supported the Quinn family, the minister swallowed and said. But Your Majesty, please don't be too worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard that the Lewashi family had rejected Horford Quinn's invitation several times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These were the three families which my father was so proud of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appens sneered silently and thought, now two of them have become traitors, even faster than those minor nobles who are sitting on the fence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason why The Last Family doesn't act is because Ado Luwashi is still in my hands. But this might be his weapon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For hours later, the King of Dawn received a message that Earl Lwashi was willing to comply with his demands, which made his anger somewhat abate a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He managed to mark a little comeback in the face of bad news. Appen did not care too much about Lawashi's nights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most importantly, he knew that the younger generation of the three families was close friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wondered whether they would still be lying with the family when they knew one of them would die if they opposed to the king. This was undoubtedly a stinger which they could not remove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon, the deadline announced by Horford Quinn, the Prime Minister, arrived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When dawn's light shed over the city walls and into the inner city of the King's City, it showed that everywhere in the city was crowded with curious people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had never been so busy and lively in the city of glow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was different from the auction exhibitions, which were only available for the rich tradesmen and nobles. This was a carnival for all the people in the city. They originally had no connection with the upper class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the knights, the lowest level of nobles, were superior in their eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, they now had an opportunity to witness the changing of power at the highest levels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially when they followed Earl Quinn's team to move forward. They even had the illusion that they were also making the change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, few people mention the word treason. Instead, it was replaced by fighting for the throne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This battle would give a clear answer to who would be the ruler of the Kingdom of Dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that in everyone's eyes, your reputation is extraordinary. Sandhill Fox, who was riding a horse side by side with Earl Quinn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the public opinion won't change until you occupy the Castle District.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Hill Fox was just a civilian without any title and the status of an acrobatics troop performer was even inferior to a freeman, Horford did not dare to despise him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to what Andrea said, Hill was the real representative of the King of Grey Castle, and he had a higher position than Yorko the Ambassador.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Yorko retreated, Hill did not leave. Instead, he began to run several acrobatics troops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This way, he hid his identity and scattered eyes and ears to every corner of the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the face of such a skilled man who was deeply trusted by Roland, he had to show his respect even though he was an Earl. In addition, he also needed his help at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wishes of the civilians are very important, my lord. Hill nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the eyes of the great nobles, they may only be humble grains of sand or tax-offering lambs, but sometimes the sand will bury people and lambs can ruin the herdsmen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this occurs in Neverwinter, I think the result probably will be completely different. What will happen in your opinion?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl Tokat, who was riding on the other side of the Prime Minister, curiously asked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir, Oro Tokat, Ado Lawashi's good friend, coughed and pointed to the team following them. Did you summon the rats following behind us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I happen to have some connection with their chief, Hill frankly said. So what do you think of it? This gathers much more momentum for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, the old Earl thought. After wearing the leather armors offered by black money, the team of over a thousand rats looks quite plausible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, his team would not be such a deterrence since there are only about 40 extraordinary warriors, as well as the guards of Earl Toecat and his own. However, rats were useless in other aspects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moreover, as a great noble, he felt quite uncomfortable to march together with the rats on Black Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition, the rats were infamous for being double-crossers and asking for more than they should. Earl Quinn wondered what kind of deal he'll made with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you worry that they may rebel? Ask Doro, who apparently could not hide his feelings. You know that they're not unfamiliar with betrayal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That also depends on what they can get. He'll turn to Earl Quinn. I promised them the identity of Freeman in your name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you successfully become the King of Dawn, they'll be rid of the unstable life and become the citizens of the City of Glow under your protection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horford could not help frowning instead. Although the rats are indeed hated and despised by most people, the real reasons why they are degenerates are because of poverty and hunger rather than the recognition of others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this isn't changed, even though I can spare them of past crimes, the new identity is useless for them. They'll become rats again sooner or later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since these people are willing to take such a risk to get an identity they're not stupid or lazy. Maybe they just lack an opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hill replied casually, as for the cause of degeneration. Rest assured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When His Majesty's messengers come next time, you'll find that there are much more job opportunities than you expect, and you don't need to feed them. Because they'll feed themselves at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The huge crowd walked through the market and entered Rising Sun Avenue. The wall of the Castle District was right before them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behind the stone wall was where the Moya family had lived for generations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking at the palace in Hightower where the dawn shone, Horford suddenly became nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had been the prime minister for over a decade and had experienced too many twists and turns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for the moments where he found that his daughter was a witch and Fenancy died of disease, he seldom felt so unease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, he stood at the threshold of a new field out of lock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though the real ruler would be the king of Greycastle while he would be just a king in name, the Quinn family would reach the pinnacle of nobles, which was to become the royal family of a country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had disobeyed the advice of his ancestors, but he also made it possible for his family to reach a new summit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In such a complicated mood, the old Earl could not help asking, is it really okay to let my daughter participate in this battle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, you may not know, but Andrea is no longer the noble lady who couldn't leave without your protection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's now on outstanding combat, Witch, and she'll fire the first shot of the Siege.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hill smiled. Please prepare your speech before the final attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not to the extraordinary warriors and rats, but to the people who accompanied us here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell them that the new age of the Kingdom of Dawn is coming soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea stood on the top floor of the belfry, observing the palace in the wind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the only place in the inner city where she could overlook the stone wall of the royal palace, though it was about 600 meters away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From afar, it seemed that she could embrace the Grand Palace in a hug and the people in it were little ants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the Castle District, this was an absolute safe distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even a heavy catapult could not threaten the stone wall here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From here, she would open a gap for the god's punishment witches in the battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, she saw a red flame flying upwards over Rising Sun Avenue, which was a sign that indicated the start of the battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She took out the bolt rifle, which was specially made by Miss Anna, loaded the 10 bullet clip, opened the aiming lens, and raised the gun. She saw a fully armored knight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea took a deep breath and began to control the magic power in her body. It was a wonderful feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The magic power seemed to turn into a pair of gentle hands that lightly held her arms, elbows, and fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In such an embrace, she felt that she entered a mystical state, as tough as a rock and as light as a feather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The former made the weapon in her hands undisturbed, while the latter made her become part of the wind, swaying gently with the breeze touching her cheeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the two combined into one, Andrea snapped the trigger. With a great roar and heat, the high-speed revolving bullet flew out of the barrel and fell toward the stone wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bowling is today's task? No. It's table tennis. I wasn't even close. I'm going pro in every sport on Wii Sports Resort. I've done swordplay, wakeboarding, Frisbee, archery, basketball, and now today we're doing table tennis match. Doody dude, have you ever played table tennis? I know BeefBoss has, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna use him. Nope, nevermind. Scale level zero, and we have to make it to a thousand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is, why am I actually having an intense volley with coal? Coal sucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the maximum experience we can get is probably this, which is probably 200. If I had to make the gander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 150? I don't think there's any way to get more than 150 if we 6-0'd him and that's what we got. So this will go a little slower than some of the other sports, even if we do as good as we can do. And now we gotta play frickin' pumpkin nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't played table tennis in a long ass time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I'm doing well. And I do have a table tennis, uh, table? In real life now. So I'd like to accredit some of my


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. I totally, I totally meant to do that one to you, Titsuki.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not know how we got credit with that one. That's for sure. Unless I'm trippin'. It was our point, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, aging like fine wine with my abilities at table tennis. Wow. We are one point away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know man. I'm starting to think I can make it all the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although 450 plus 150, that puts me at 600 if I can ace this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, 600. That means I still need another three perfect games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, yeah, three. I need to do three more in order to get to pro class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the video will be very short. If you're looking at the video reel right now at how much footage is left, or how much time in the video is left, and it's short, I actually didn't. But if it's long, you know something is about to go wrong. Ooh, she's definitely better though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, damn, damn. That's probably gonna be the only point I give up too in this game. Because she's not that good. Bleh. Whoa. Bleh. Whoa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now what do we get? If we give up a point, what do we get? If it's not 150, what is it? 125, hopefully? Eh, alright. That's still fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is still nonetheless, two more perfect games and we're in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually one, one point game and one zero point game and we're still to pro class. In the quickest way possible. Like this is damn near s- This is like speedrun pace. If I wasn't, uh, so, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talkie and probably wasting, wow, that was lucky death suki. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if I wasn't so inherently slow, like this is, I would imagine this has gotta be pretty quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got lucky, he showed a lot of mercy there, beef man. Well, I guess we returned the favor for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn it. That was gonna be our perfect game, so then we could've gave up a point on the last game, but now our last game needs to be perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all we have to do is beat Tyrone's baloney, and we're, and we're in. Now here's the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, since we gave up the first point, I'm just gonna restart. It's quicker for us to do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's such a noticeable increase in skill here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we're gonna just restart. That's, that's just what, that's, no, no, no. Like that. And then, BAM! Can't get to it. Exactly how I like to draw it up right there. But it doesn't always work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, pull him over, and then BAM! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Two more points, beef.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One more point, beef. One more point, and- Wait, no, I'm talking to DoodyDoo like he's BeefBot, but BeefBot is over there on the left. Throwing me off. BeefBot just can't get away from me. This is it. Oh. This is it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, there it is. Pro class, right? Pro class! Yep. Ha ha ha! Done!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wow, I hope this is even enough for a video. I almost have to just upload the entire frickin' recording session. Without any cuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uh, I mean I could theoretically go into another, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, what can I do? What can I do to fill time? I mean, I could go pro and return challenge in the meantime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly don't feel like going pro in return challenge would be very fun. All you do is gotta hit the ball back. The only thing I'd be going for is like, the record high score. Which, I still wanna get the 999 return challenge game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what I'd want to do, get 9.99, not try to get pro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't return beginning Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Day by day, knowing that innocent people are being shot because of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come back tomorrow morning. I'll have more strength then. We can talk all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Signore e signore, la signorina Polver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now, good people, returned Miss Ingram, don't press upon me. Really, your organs of wonder and credulity are easily excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You seem, by the importance you all, my good mamma included, ascribe to this matter absolutely to believe we have a genuine witch in the house, who is in close alliance with the old gentleman. I have seen a gypsy vagabond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has practised in hackneyed fashion the science of palmistry, and told me what such people usually tell. My whim is gratified.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I think Mr Eshton will do well to put the hag in the stocks tomorrow morning, as he threatened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Ingram took a book, leant it back in her chair, and so declined further conversation. I watched her for nearly half an hour. During all that time she never turned a page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And her face grew momently darker, more dissatisfied and more sourly expressive of disappointment. She had obviously not heard anything to her advantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it seemed to me from her prolonged fit of gloom and taciturnity that she herself


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notwithstanding her professed indifference, attached undue importance to whatever revelations had been made her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meantime, Mary Ingram, Amy and Louisa Ashton, declare they dare not go alone, and yet they all wish to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after much pacing to and fro, till I think the said Sam's calves must have ached with the exercise, permission was at last, with great difficulty, extorted from the rigorous Sybil, for the three to wait upon her in a body. Their visit was not so still as Miss Ingram's had been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pressed for further explanations, they declared she had told them of things they had said and done when they were mere children, described books and ornaments they had in their boudoirs at home, keepsakes that different relations had presented to them. They affirmed that she had even divined their thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And had whispered in the ear of each the name of the person she liked best in the world, and informed them of what they most wished for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, the gentleman interposed with earnest petitions to be further enlightened on these two last named points, but they got only blushes, ejaculations, tremors and titters in return for the opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Matrons meantime offered vinaigrettes and wielded fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again reiterated the expression of their concern that their warning had not been taken in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the elder gentleman laughed, and the younger urged their services on the agitated fair ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the midst of the tumult, and while my eyes and ears were fully engaged in the scene before me, I heard a hem close at my elbow. I turned and saw Sam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was glad of the unexpected opportunity to gratify my much excited curiosity. I slipped out of the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unobserved by any eye for the company were gathered in one mass about the trembling trio just returned, and I closed the door quietly behind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything that we're facing with the recession, foreign powers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our largest problem facing us is the deindustrialization of America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our can-do American spirit is being lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been working for, I'd say, 25 years now as a mechanic. And I was always fascinated with motorcycles. And that's where I stuck. Being able to make bikes that are 60, 70 years old,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perform as good as they ever did. Maybe not as good as new bikes, but as good as they ever did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something to be said about that. It's very rewarding. The vintage bikes have much more style and panache and it's more of an accomplishment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's the cool factors, James Dean, the Marlon Brando, and the wild one. You know, it's Fonzie, for Christ's sake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] to work in a shop like this, you would kill for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only do I not feel that they have the physical ability to do the industrial, whatever it may be, but they don't have the aptitude or even the desire. They don't even care. You know, it's, it's just, it's disheartening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I really do think that it's going to be a lost art. There are going to be fewer and fewer people who can do this. And I don't really right now see who the next me is. Where's the next me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then that same number might seem like way too few and it may upset my balance, so I like to keep the exact number an intangible amount.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'd say two thirds of the stuff that's here is mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, one third of that is my never gonna sell it. Ever. Unless my wife tells me to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until then, it's hard thought. It's hard thought. I honestly, every day I walk in here, I still can't believe this is my place.
