[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the light of the torch, they could see the wall on both sides of the passage had been severely damaged and the tree roots and vines had dug out of the paved bricks and crawled all over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather, who was leading the way, used an axe to open the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The downward incline would have taken them half a day to pass through if they did not have the God's punishment which to clear the way for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This place has indeed been deserted for a long time, but what NAF said isn't entirely true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't sealed off because of the curse, Sean said suddenly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There must have been people coming and going at least for a period of time. What did you find out? Rather put on a curious look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are torch slots on the wall, he said, pointing toward the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chiseled lines are much clearer than that of the walls, indicating that they must have formed at very different times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this is just a place that they used to take shelter from the rain, they didn't need to set up torches at intervals of about 10 paces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no doubt that torch slots were only made when people had to walk in and out of this place frequently for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hah, how could the Lord not be interested in the treasures inside of this ruin? Rather sneered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not the guide who lies, but the rumor itself has been polished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm concerned whether the treasures are the thing we are searching for. Sean said soberly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there are many sources, how many have been carried away in the past century and where?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty said that the thing is crucial to the creation of the glory of the sun, and we must, by no means, let it fall into the hands of other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These problems can't be solved until Miss Azima leads us to the first source. Rother's body suddenly tensed. I think we're close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, there was no more soil covering the stairs and the stone steps were exposed. They moved much more quickly after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 30 minutes later, they stopped in front of a sea of darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The light shining from their torches could not illumine the way ahead any longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was as if the torchlight was being absorbed by the darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looked as though a dark wall was standing there, separating the two worlds. That's... Asima blurted out an amazement. A big hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will. Asima took a deep breath and stepped into the darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prior to her promise to accept King Roland's task, she had always thought that she was a brave girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, she now found herself far behind Sean and rather in terms of bravery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps, this was the reason why she could not make the final decision of leaving the sleeping island. To be frank, you're a coward. Nightingale's voice once again echoed in her ears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this time it was no longer sarcasm, but a different kind of meaning altogether. The darkness enveloped her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took a few seconds for her eyes to adapt to the dense darkness. She could make out Sean's and Rother's torches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their lights seem to have shrunk by a lot and look small and dim. Are we at the bottom of the ruin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather sad as she looked around, her voice echoing from the unseen ceiling. It's smaller than I thought. No more than 200 paces in any direction. You can see the edges of the room? Sean asked. It's not that impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have many choices when living underground for hundreds of years. You either adapt or remain blind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't until now did Azima realize why Rother said it was a big hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As she entered, the space suddenly extended by a lot so that the firelight could not reflect on the walls and looked much dimmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hole was not at the same level with the passage they had just passed through, so those entering first looked as if they had suddenly disappeared. How far do we have to go? Ratha looked back over her shoulder at Azima. She hurriedly took out the coin. Suddenly the green light filled her vision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were countless bright green spots floating in the air, from the ceiling to her feet, outlining the whole place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was as though she was in a fictional world, and the endless darkness now had clear boundaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the luminous spots, she could even see the shape of every tile on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wall around them was engraved with psychedelic paintings that were beyond description What the paintings showed were all mad and chaotic No human beings could create anything like that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were rows of iron cages under the paintings in which numerous bones were piled up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About a hundred paces away from them, the ground sank down and formed a large pit from which a splendid beam of light rose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bean matched the light of the coin, but the bean was much brighter. It was her first time seeing such a sight. Azima, ask Sean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upon not hearing an answer, he turned around and asked, Are you alright? Asima felt the dryness in her throat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather spread out her hands and asked, Where is it then? We are inside it now. The witch answered in low murmurs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Majesty, there's an urgent report from the Kingdom of Dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had been almost two months since the exploration team left Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most recent news from them was when they crossed Grey Castle's border.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he learned that the source was not in Grey Castle, Roland had been a little worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, the mining and transportation of ore was a long term process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The First Army had limited mobility, and the farther away they were from Grey Castle, the harder it was to carry out a mission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that he'd finally received some news after such a long time, he was very interested in what was in the package.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was also curious as to why the package was so big. This reminded him of mail order packages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether or not they were able to find the source, a letter would have been sufficient to convey the message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did the exploration team encounter that would cost Sean send over such a big package?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland tilted his head and whispered, Are your capabilities so evolved that you can see through things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd love it if that was the case, but unfortunately no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale said lazily, I just slipped my hand into the sack when the guard came in. I see, so her level of alertness was still quite. Hang on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's suddenly dawn on Roland that when Evelyn came in with a new chaos drink, or when the chef came in with a snack cart, could she have also pinched a bit of the food and drink?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other hand, the amount delivered for afternoon tea had decreased a little. Your majesty, it's all paper inside. The guard's words interrupted his thoughts. And most of them are covered with ink. Is this a new reporting method?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland took a look in the bag and said, Isn't there a letter that I could read? Please wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the guard had dumped out all the contents of the sheepskin bag, there was a new discovery. There's a letter with a wax seal underneath. Bring it over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging from the date, it should have been sent about a week and a half ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the bag, the letter was also surprisingly large. With at least a dozen pages, it was hard to imagine why an exploration report would be such a lengthy document.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This might also be the reason why Sean marked the report as urgent, but decided against using the usual animal messenger system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Majesty, Miss Azima has found the source that you want. It's located at the northeastern junction of the Kingdom of Dawn, near the Kingdom of Wolfheart. The locals call it Cage Mountain. Sean's first sentence was enough to reassure Roland. Fortunately, this trip was not a waste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that the mining area was still within the Kingdom of Dawn meant that he could control the entire mining process through the Quinn family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the cost would be a lot more, it was still better than having to deal with the Kingdom of Wolfheart and the Kingdom of Everwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moreover, Sean's choice of words did not seem tedious, which made him even more curious about the package's contents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the source wasn't in a cave, but a very old ruin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's even more incredible was that it wasn't built by the underground civilization, nor did it have anything to do with the tequila survivors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We initially suspected that it might have come from the undersea monsters, but a discovery by the witches proved otherwise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Majesty, this ruin was left behind by a group previously unknown to us. Roland immediately knitted his browse. Did an unknown group of new aliens appear in the Four Kingdoms?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although this area was barren and backwards in the past, that did not mean that they would ignore their own territory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was alien activity, it would be impossible to escape the witch's investigation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, if Sean's conclusion was correct, then they most likely existed even before the underground civilization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The key question was, why was this alien group interested in uranium ore? He continued reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They left behind a large number of murals on the walls at the bottom of the ruin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The various monsters displayed in the paintings were inconsistent with the images of the other races known to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through investigation of their contents, Ms. Rother and I think that the building was very likely used as a place of execution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not only located on the source of the vein, but they also shaped the uranium ore into bricks for the walls and floor. Ozyma saw the same element in every corner of the ruins and even on the murals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the bottom we found a lot of cages and bones, which was also reflected in the murals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They seem to have imprisoned a large number of enemies here, not just other races, but also their own kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were tortured using the power of the ore, and it seems as if doing so would please their gods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've already tried to copy as much of the murals as possible and sent Tokat's messenger back to Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to the limited number of protective suits and the size of the murals, the progress was slow. The murals you have copies of are only of a portion of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It will likely take another month or two to send copies of the rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition, I'm very worried about Miss Rother who did not wear protective clothing when entering the ruins. I'm not sure if she would encounter the dangers you mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The locals that initially discovered the ruins were infected with something


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many people became sick with strange diseases and many died from unknown causes. So the ruins also are called the cursed temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging from the ruins execution ground, this danger likely still exists. That's bad. Roland could not help but whisper. What's wrong? Nightingale asked from the mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the God's punishment which is cursed, she could just change her body, so I don't think we have to worry about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't worried about the tequila witches, but about Sean and Azima. He shook his head solemnly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the plan, they shouldn't have stayed in the mining area for so long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it was unrefined ore or highly compressed uranium, its radioactive decay mainly consisted of alpha particles, so it would be difficult to penetrate the skin or cause harm to the human body. But this didn't mean that it would be the same in the ruins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given that these radioactive elements had existed for hundreds of millions of years and some of them had likely decayed into more dangerous elements such as radon, the situation had become different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The half-life of radon was only 3.8 days, and it was a gas which could be easily inhaled into the body to cause radiation poisoning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The protective suits he prepared for the exploration team were designed for going into deep mining areas. The fully sealed suit could effectively block out many kinds of highly toxic elements that could be found in a uranium mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gas mask could filter out radon and other toxic gases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as you didn't stay in the mining area for extended periods of time, you could basically guarantee your safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But once too much time had passed, the endurance and effectiveness of the suits would be limited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This meant that those who participated in copying the murals might have exceeded the safety limits and thus been exposed to harmful amounts of radiation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They must immediately withdraw from the ruins, said Roland, taking a pen and paper from the table. This letter must be sent to them as soon as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition to recalling Ozima and Rother, Roland also wrote down the follow-up arrangements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a time consuming and laborious task to mine uranium mines safely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only was it necessary to formulate a detailed operational procedure and set up monitoring nodes, workers also needed to have a certain understanding of the work they were engaged in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would then have to act meticulously according to the rules.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the face of imminent war threats, he naturally did not intend to follow the normal protocols. The North Slope Mine was a good example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He bought the prisoners on death penalty directly from the Duke of Quinn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He then threw them into the ruins without compensation and holidays and he did not need to prepare protective measures for them. They would be released after working for a decade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He believed that those people would make the right choice if they had to choose between the gallows or a chance of survival.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, local lords would probably be quite happy to use the lives of these scums in exchange for an additional income.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this way, the 100 soldiers of the exploration team only needed to be responsible for supervision and security work, thus greatly reducing the requirements of defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sean was undoubtedly the best candidate to be in charge of management.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, at the end of the confidential letter, Roland also made sure to order the guards to look for the whereabouts of the treasures that the people had brought out of the ruins a century ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, there were a few doubts about the rumor that bothered him a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This clan, which had not been recorded by history, seemed to have an inexplicable sense of worship for radioactive elements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It used brick ore to build a temple for sacrifices and even used it to torture the enemy. Some were even made to swallow the ore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those bodies that were filled with green fluorescence, as seen through Azima's eyes, were proof that it happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although it was unclear whether their demise had a direct connection with this kind of worship, it was appropriate to call them a radioactive clan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the world was so big, it was not surprising that all kinds of civilization could exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was truly strange was that no matter how deep you went into the mining area or took or to make bricks, it would not be possible to cause flesh rotting effects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you lived in mines, the long term internal and external exposure to various types of decay radiation would only result in a mere increase in the probability of getting cancer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were meant to live to the age of 80, you might have lived to the age of 66 only.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, natural nuclides release efficiency is really too low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several unlucky people that died in the rumor did not seem to have died from cancer or mutation complications. They seem to have been affected by strong radiation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to satisfy the latter condition, only the high purity nuclear material could reach criticality, and a large number of neutron fluxes and hard gamma rays have to be generated in an instant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, this situation did not seem to be something that the radioactive clan could achieve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland did not rule out the possibility that the rumor itself had distorted the facts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the villagers' misery at that time should have been known by more than one person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was true, the problem would most likely be those treasures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only in this way would the ruin take over the function of the altar of execution. Otherwise, every detainee would live for dozens of years before dying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this altar was not built into a high-rise apartment building, it would not be able to hold so many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a pity that a century exceeded summer's retrospective period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was almost impossible to completely understand what was happening at that time and Sean could only try his best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He felt that the truth behind the rumors might not be so simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Honey took the letter, Roland walked to the desk and examined the paintings that were spread out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the distorted ink images were filled with strange and absurd things, he could still recognize the general subject and object. The subject was mostly located in the center of the scrolls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The outline was large and delicate, representing the ruler of the ruins. The object was much smaller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were in all of the corners, and from their hideous expressions, you could feel their pain and fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was probably the universal nature of all intelligent life. Always make yourself the protagonist in historical records.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like Sean said, neither the subject nor the object was related to the known civilizations such as the demons, the demonic beasts, or the undersea civilization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their shapes were quite weird. Some were like matchsticks with limbs that were indistinguishable from head and tail, while the others were like crawling protozoa with all of their organs located in the brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The contents of the murals were not all related to the execution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were some that depicted the scenes in which the subject and the object were fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They seemed to take advantage of the high altitude to maneuver and land behind the enemy and successfully attack from both sides. The towering defense line was not of any use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The city was a sea of fire and the object was defeated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you feel like you've seen these scenes depicted in the murals before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He walked to the scroll and bent down to look at a mural describing exactly the last part of the war. Countless matchsticks were united as if they were trying to fight to their last breath, but they were still knocked to the ground by the subject. The blood flowed and gathered into huge lakes. The surviving enemies fled to the sea. They were chased by the subject and killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their corpses even formed a small bag of a mountain in the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale observed him for a long time and said, in addition to using more ink, it doesn't seem to be different from other drawings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, combat ability and artistic appreciation are inherently opposite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland held his forehead and said, Help me get a map of the southernmost region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The latter did it quickly and placed a thick stack of maps in front of Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, she also handed him some dried fish. Roland bit the dried fish while his hands kept moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He soon found a partial bird's eye view of the endless cape at that time. In order to determine the location of Festive Harbor, he asked Lightning and Maggie to make detailed maps of it, so he still had a deep impression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the two were put together, he suddenly felt a layer of goose bumps on his back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His body felt like a current had run through him and his fingers were numb. The outlines of the two maps overlapped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale also realized that something was wrong and asked, isn't that where the Sand Nation people live?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland did not answer, but quickly scanned the remaining painting scrolls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he saw the penultimate one, all the blood in his body seemed to freeze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw only a dozen of the subjects gathered on a high platform, forming a large circle. An irregular polyhedron floated in the circle. There were countless strange tentacles on its surface. It was like the snake demon Medusa's hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sean did not see the scene with his own eyes, so he naturally did not know what was shown in the painting. However, Roland knew very well what it was. That was clearly the relic of gods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the dark dungeon, a dim light cast a shadow on the wall as the captive dangled from the ceiling. The shadow flickered and swayed like a forked tree branch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The prisoner did not struggle, nor did she utter a yelp or beg for mercy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She only produced an almost inaudible moan when the whip landed on her skin. But that was soon drowned out by the following lashes. Crack. Crack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The candlelight wavered and flickered as it played with the swaying shadow as it moved across the ceiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dull sound of a whip crack caught through the gruesome silence of the dungeon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, she was suffering great pain, but she forced herself not to cry out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, are you still not going to tell me where the holy book is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Earl walked up to the woman and grabbed her by the chin, forcing her to look at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a pretty face, despite the constant torture the woman had been going through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a matter of fact, her damp skin and bright eyes made her even more attractive. The church is over, Farina. Do you still wanna plot against me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should at least think about your companions if not about yourself. Those damn church dregs. Lorenzo thought savagely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are many places they could have chosen to live in the Kingdom of Wolfheart. Why did they have to pick Archduke Island?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made it very clear when I executed the messengers that I want them to leave me alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus, they have a group of God's punishment warriors and could have picked anywhere to settle down as long as they stay as far away from Grey Castle as possible. Why did they attempt to murder me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I didn't ask Pope Maine to give me some guards to protect me as a precaution, they would have mounted my head on the city wall by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this thought, Lorenzo felt the side of his missing left ear throb again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the two groups of God's punishment army had fought that day, Farina had nearly killed him. Fortunately, his guard had blocked her strike. He survived, but had also lost his left ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lorenzo was actually more upset about the loss of the God's Punishment Warriors than his missing ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out of the 20 gods punishment warriors, only 2 to 3 were capable of fighting now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The others had either died during the battle or had lost limbs. It was impossible for them to fight again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet he relied on those gods' punishment warriors to secure his position on Archduke Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nobles in the kingdom of Wolfheart did not come back to him not because of the change in his status from a bishop to a noble, but because of their fear of the God's punishment warriors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they knew he had only a few capable God's punishment warriors left, they would probably strip him of his Earl title immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lorenzo was so tempted to cut Farina into pieces. But he could not do that. Not before he knew where the holy book was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure whether the church is over, but I know you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My biggest mistake was that I underestimated your God's punishment warriors. But there are few you can use now, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't need the Holy Book so badly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to know the secret passing down among the popes, which is how to create the God's punishment army so that you can keep your pitiable position. Smack. The Earl boxed her ears. You'd better tell me what I want. Lorenzo threatened through his teeth. Tell me, where's the holy book? Blood dripped down from the corner of the prisoner's mouth. Farina said, I don't know. That's really a pity. The Earl eyed the executioner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Farina interrupted Lorenzo Feebly in a derisive tone. You remember the finger you sent me last time? The blood had darkened. Do you still want to play the same trick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that the comfortable life here has made our bishop forget the difference between a living man and a dead one. You chopped it off from a body, right? You killed them a long time ago, traitor. Lorenzo's face clouded over. I'm not even an acting pope. How would I know where the holy book is? Pope Tucker Thor might know it, but he never told me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody in this world would ever know how to create a God's punishment army now. You're lying. Lorenzo went livid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tucker Thor asked you to come to rebuild the Church in the Kingdom of Wolfheart and revenge Hermes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a God's punishment army, the church can't compete against Gray Castle either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Acting Pope simply wanted to save us and for everybody to spend the rest of their lives peacefully. This is absurd. Do you think I'll believe you? The Earl roared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you plan to settle down, why did you attack Archduke Island?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't you attempt to steal the wealth, the food, the armors, and the weapons here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tucker entrusted the God's punishment warriors to you, and he just wanted you to live a happy life? Nonsense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believe it or not, but this is the truth, Farina said indifferently. I also want to tell you something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you didn't kill the messengers, but treated them fairly, we would have probably chosen somewhere else to settle down. But you made the worst decision. You know what kind of people I despise? Those double-crossers like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you failed Pope O'Brien, so you don't deserve the life Pope Tucker Thor earned for us. There was a faint starchiness in Farina's voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a shame that I didn't kill you, but the nobles in the kingdom of Wolfheart would eventually know who you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you have washed your hands off the whole matter and have nothing to do with the church, you'll never become a true noble. You're just a traitor living on borrowed time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lorenzo took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger. He growled, I know exactly what your little scheme is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just attempted to provoke me into killing you so that the whereabouts of the holy book would remain as a secret forever. But I can make you spit it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are not only supplies in here, but also a lot of instruments of torture which we normally use on witches. I wonder if you would hold up better than those Fallens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He cast a glance at Farina's feet and said, Let's start with your toenails. I hope you could still play tough when I rip them off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After returning to the castle hall, Lorenzo could not contain himself any longer. He smashed the tea set onto the floor. Damn, damn, damn Farina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had armed himself with a mask of cruelty to conceal his inner uncertainty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, Lorenzo had no idea how long it would take Farina to yield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a member of the judgment army, she had an exceptionally strong willpower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps, it would not be that easy to get something out of her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could not just close the port and announce a trade ban all of a sudden, for that would immediately raise suspicions among the nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he, however, left Archduke Island as it was, there was a big chance that the nobles would appoint merchants to spy on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, he needed more God's punishment warriors to protect him before it was too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Farina, a person he loathed so much, refused to tell him that key information. This is so frustrating. Just then, his butler came in. Your lordship, I've heard something interesting recently. Get out of here. I'm not in the mood for some trivial gossip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he became an Earl and the Lord of Archduke Island, his followers also became his family members. Hagrid, the butler, was one of his henchmen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a former priest, he sometimes provided Lorenzo with councils.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The border of the Kingdom of Dawn has been a little unstable lately. It seems that they planned ahead to Cage Mountain. What does it have to do with us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Archduke Island won't gain anything from it, no matter who takes Cage Mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not talking about the operation itself, but the person behind this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hagrid paused for a second and continued, Your Lordship, I've heard that the King of Grey Castle is behind this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within merely a few years, this man had elevated himself from the lord of an insignificant border town to the sovereign of the state. Nothing could explain his sudden rise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had even defeated the holy city of Hermes, which had once dominated the entire continent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, Roland Wimbledon was the main reason Lorenzo had made such a quick decision to sever his relationship with the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realizing that the conflict between the church and Grey Castle could never be settled, he had quickly resigned his bishop position to escape from the trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Lorenzo did not understand why Roland suddenly extended his power to the borders of the Kingdom of Dawn and the Kingdom of Wolfheart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a new king, he should have focused on domestic affairs instead of creating a new commotion. He wondered what Roland was up to this time. Are you sure? Ask the Earl as he looked at Hagrid. Fill me in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got the news from various reliable sources, Hagrid said positively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The troop stationed at the foot of Cage Mountain is from Grey Castle. Their outfits and weapons fit the description.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Further, Death Row prisoners from all parts of the Kingdom of Dawn are heading to Cage Mountain as well. Some of them proclaim that they work for the King of Grey Castle. Cage Mountain. Death Row prisoners. Lorenzo paced the room when a sudden thought struck him. Is he coming for that? Very likely, your lordship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hagrid nodded before correcting himself. No, he must be coming for that. How did he know? Asked the Earl. It isn't surprising that he knew. The discovery of the ruin was simply pure luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always thought that there must be a connection between those ruins, and Roland happens to be the first person who noticed this connection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the church did not know the exact reason behind Prince Roland's swift rise, there were quite a few theories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apart from ridiculous rumors such as the incarnation of God and the spokesman for the demons, many people believe that Prince Roland had obtained some mysterious power from a ruin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though the three archbishops had dismissed this theory as another groundless rumor, many believers had insisted that this was the truth. Lorenzo had also been one of them. Otherwise, how did Roland defeat the Holy City?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most incredible ruin in Cage Mountain was the Cursin Temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few years ago, when the God's Punishment Army had invaded the Kingdom of Wolfheart, many nobles had either been killed in action or surrendered. Even the Queen of Clearwater had failed to stop the Church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the former bishop in Archduke Island, Lorenzo had assisted in the logistics and the post-war cleanup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had been responsible for sending some of the looted military supplies to the front and storing away the rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During an operation at Cliff Ridge, he had accidentally learned about an ancient legend that had been circulated for 100 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was rumored that a group of villagers had stolen some treasures from the cursing temple but died shortly afterwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The local nobles had later taken possession of these treasures which the ancestors of Cliff Ridges Earl had been very interested in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He believed that the deaths had nothing to do with the curse on the temple, but with the treasures taken out from the temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus, he had put a lot of effort and time searching for them and had finally retrieved a part of these treasures from the Kingdom of Dawn. The research had cost a dozen lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, the old Earl had finally found something unusual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a lethal weapon that produced a deadly ray, working just like a curse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the weapon had lost its power after several uses as if its power had been exhausted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the old Earl had sent many people to the border to search for a similar one whilst even risking his life to explore the temple himself, he had not found a way to recover it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, he had recorded the incident in his family book, hoping his descendants would one day find an answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The miraculous weapon had thus been passed down through generations until the church had seized Cliff Ridge a century later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lorenzo had been very interested in the item in the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, after he had played around with it for a few times, nothing had happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had thus lost his interest and put it away with the other treasures in the warehouse, planning to deal with it after he had returned to the Holy City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, he could not take a family book too seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many nobles boasted about their long family history, their aristocratic origin, and their accumulated wealth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the church was so gullible as to believe all of them, they would not have wiped out the kingdom of Wolfhark and the kingdom of Everwinter that easily. Rather, it would have been the other way around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the church had suffered a miserable defeat in Cold Wind Ridge, the situation had taken a turn for the worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody had cared about the looted items any longer, and Lorenzo had also put the matter out of his mind. He had almost forgotten about it until Hagrid reminded him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was very likely that the King of Greycastle was coming for the treasures in the Cursin Temple. Getting excited, the Earl urged Hagrid. Go on. Yes, your Lordship. Hagrid inclined his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose Roland Wimbledon learned about the treasures in the ruins from other sources. He would probably know how this thing works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to what I know, this powerful thing can probably replace the God's punishment warriors. Right, this is a cursed weapon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can definitely deter the nobles in the kingdom of Wolfheart from challenging my authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, it'll earn me some time to search for the holy book, thought Lorenzo. Lorenzo stomped in excitement. Come with me to the warehouse, now. Your lordship, I have to make sure that it's still on Archduke Island. Since it's so important, I have to guard it well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To prevent an information leak, Lorenzo took no one but his butler and searched the whole warehouse for half a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After hours of strenuous work, he finally found the treasure in a corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lorenzo was happy that he did not include a third person in this search.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he opened the pouch, he immediately noticed its difference compared to the other treasures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared to all the other looted treasures such as luminous pearls and beautiful sculptures, the thing in the pouch was nothing but a stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was square, much coarser than polished granites, and was not even bigger than his palm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Earl of Cliff Ridge had also mentioned in his family book that the item had cost him the least out of all the treasures he had owned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, the stripes on the stone were emanating a soft blue glow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The light pointed from one end to the other as if it was giving a direction. Lorenzo exchanged a look with the butler. Both of them were exhilarated by their discovery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was unbelievable that the stone, which had been unresponsive over the past 100 years, would show signs of activity just when Roland sent his people to the cursing temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, Lorenzo was almost certain about Roland's motive. He was sure that Roland knew how to recover the stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you to go to Cage Mountain, said Lorenzo as he slipped the stone into his pocket cautiously. I trust no one but you. Try to get the information on how to use the stone. Don't worry about money. Rest assured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll do my best, replied Haggard while placing his hand on his chest. Another thing, the Earl said slowly. Make sure that the King of Greycastle doesn't notice you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could destroy the church and certainly could destroy you effortlessly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to keep a low profile unless the stone exerts its power. I place the future of Archduke Island in your hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe fumbled a wine glass restlessly as he glanced towards the door from time to time. He had never been so fidgety before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although his mind was crowded with a multitude of feelings, he could do nothing but wait miserably in regret whilst feeling afraid and lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Miss Farina isn't in a good condition, said the man as he took off his hood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It appears that the bishop wanted to get something out of her, so he tortured her every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, I've even heard her screams reach the hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If things go on like this, she won't be alive for long. Joe tried to convince himself that this was inevitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After their plan had failed, he had foreseen the fierce retaliation from their enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the trader wanted to know the whereabouts of the holy book, he would definitely use every possible means to get Farina, the leader of the operation, to open up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least, she's still alive. Joe muttered under his breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He slowly made his hand into a fist with his nails sinking into his flesh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not want to picture what would happen to Farina if he failed to rescue her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps at the end of the day, death may actually give her relief. Damn it. Why did I agree to her plan? Joe thought savagely. He should not have let Farina act as the diversion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would rather fight to his last breath and die with her in the castle than retreat alone. Sir?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man hesitated for a moment and asked, Do you know what the bishop is asking for? Maybe you should just let him have it. That will at least free Miss Farina from. He's not a bishop, only a traitor. Joe said within himself. He replied through his teeth, I don't have what he wants. It was destroyed when Hermes Cathedral fell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a hint of melancholy in his look when the man heard the word Hermes. He murmured, May God bless us. Joe thought it pretty ironic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in the old days before the fall of the new and old holy cities, as one of the most outstanding judgment warriors, he had always been surrounded by the most prominent figures in the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that time, he would have never taken an ordinary believer seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, with the betrayal of the bishop and the priest, he could trust no one but this believer who came from the bottom of the pyramid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It appeared that this man had a deeper love for the church than many of the executives. He had come to him when he had sunk to his lowest ejection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man also felt bitter about Lorenzo's betrayal, but with little power, he could not openly defy him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The night the castle had been attacked, he had caught a glimpse of the invaders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From then on, he had started to look for Joe around the castle, and this was how they had met.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe did not care whether this man was a spy sent by Lorenzo or not, for he practically had nothing else to lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this man was indeed a spy, he should have noticed that he had nothing to offer by now and thus killed him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, the man turned around again. Something happened in the castle lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the bishop's henchmen, Priest Haggard, went to the southwest. The coachman said they were heading to Cage Mountain. I thought you might want to know about it. His voice trailed off towards the end. It was a very unconfident consolation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was perfectly normal for a lord to send his men to some other domains, even though Cage Mountain had nothing to do with Archduke Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as the God's punishment warriors were still there, it was impossible for him to get Farina out of the dungeon. Noted. Thank you. Anytime, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like everybody is talking about it lately. Joe thought as he drained the glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After returning to his abode in the suburb, Joe rested his eyes on a black book on the desk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the last will of the acting Pope Tucker Thor before he had jumped off the city wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not the holy book that contained the method of creating the God's punishment army, but a request from Tucker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The book talked about the history of human beings and demons, as well as the origin of the battle of divine will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe was agape as he read the story and suddenly understood the reason why Tucker had asked them to leave Hermes. Everything is over. Worry no more about the battle. Live your own lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Farina did not want the church to fall apart probably because she did not want to see Tucker's sacrifice to be for nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted Roland Wimbledon and his kingdom of Greycastle to fall before the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, Joe saw a ray of hope in the very king who had destroyed the church. He did not expect Greycastle to help him. They would never save the remaining church members. However, he could direct them to attack the traitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had not given much thought to Cage Mountain until the believer had reminded him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, he had thought this was just another groundless rumor, and he did not want to deal with Grey Castle anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, he remembered that Lorenzo had indeed found a treasure at Cage Mountain and had even reported to the church when he had been the caretaker for the items looted from the Kingdom of Wolfheart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not know whether the treasure had been shipped to Hermes, but it did not matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nobles in the kingdom of Wolfheart might fear its cursing power, but Roland would not. Nobody could stop his impregnable army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as Roland could help him weed out the traitor, he would have a chance to save Farina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if Farina was unfortunate to be captured by Roland, it would be still better than the endless tortures here. Joe took a deep breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If in the end, Farina fell into Roland's hand, he would come forward. He wanted to be there for her until her final moments. Because he loved her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had been in love with her ever since the first day he had joined the judgment army with Farina. This time, he did not want to leave any regrets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two weeks after receiving the emergency report from Sean, the sun once again appeared in the western region of Grey Castle. The months of demons ended without any problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was probably the most peaceful months of demons that has happened in hundreds of years. There were no evil beasts harassing or roaring. The snowy plains outside the walls were empty and flat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thick snow reflected the dazzling golden light of the sun. It looked like a piece of flawless mirror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus, this year's Victory Day was exceptionally lively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many residents walked into the wilderness without waiting for the snow to melt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They plucked a pile of snow from the knee-deep snow and brought it home to boil and drink. It was both a celebration and a memorial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only a very small number of people knew about the undercurrent beneath the calm. The third border city, Library Cave. Roland received an expected response. None of the documents ever mention this record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not even the literature left by the underground civilization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Celine leaned tiredly against the corner and ancient books that she had flipped open were piled up around her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for the first record about the southernmost region, that was about 860 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a travel note, probably written by a certain witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The description was only a few words, but it confirmed that the endless cape was a desert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the first time that he saw Blob looking so tired. The three senior witches rarely sat down and usually relied on the main tentacles that were hanging on the dome. The fine whiskers on their bodies were always dancing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, at this moment, all of her tentacles drooped down and looked like fur on the surface.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the first glance, it looked a bit like a radish that was just pulled out of the earth. You should probably take a break. I'd also like to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I can't stop my body at all, said Celine with a bitter laugh. Your discovery's too shocking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can be said to be a subversion of the union. No, that's not right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's disrupted the entire recorded history of mankind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was also why Roland had long anticipated the answer. If there were related discoveries in the era of the Union, it would certainly have been recorded in some way. After all, it involved the battle of divine will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if it needed to be kept secret, at least the entire senior management would not be ignorant about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ethnic groups in the murals might be even older than what he had imagined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the last 860 years, they only had a single well-documented testimony, and it did not mean that the southernmost region was full of vigor before this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From this point of view, the myths of the Three Gods Emissary and the Millennium War circulated by the Magins were somewhat more reliable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that time, the first battle of Divine will had not yet begun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Majesty, I have to admit, she said with a long sigh, we have clearly taken a big step forward in our research, but why do I still feel so confused? It's like I've lost something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, I just wanted you all to relax a little. Roll and cough twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The real answer should be, who am I? Where do I come from? And where am I going? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Pasha murmured again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These three questions seem very simple, but when you think about it, the answer is not that easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You only have to change the perspective slightly and you will be faced with different answers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, have you gone in a daze after reading too many books? Alathia could not resist interrupting. What's wrong with this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Alathea from Tequila, and I'm going back to Tequila. Warrant be fine like this. I think you've been deceived by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the reason why I envy you occasionally," said Celine, unable to put the main tentacles on top of her head. Being simple-minded can be a form of happiness sometimes. Pasha shook her head whilst laughing. Thank you very much. It did relax us a bit, but your response really surprised me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only were you calm, but you also took our thoughts into consideration. It was as if you were not the least bit surprised about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in my opinion, the world itself is full of uncertainty. Roland smiled arbitrarily and changed the subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we have confirmed the unknown battle of divine will in the existence of new ethnic groups, so we should hold a meeting. Such important news should be conveyed to everyone, the sooner the better. As you wish, your majesty." Pasha bent her main tentacles and replied. The internal meeting was soon held in the castle's main hall. The degree of secrecy was classified as top secret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Participants were all representatives of the forces of the United Front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the ministers of the administrative department were invited too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland announced this accidental discovery, everyone was in disbelief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also gave a rare 10 minute buffer to allow everyone to whisper among themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The battle of divine was not bounded to the fate of mankind. It was most likely a special normality. This was simply beyond the imagination of everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Roland was not the messenger, few people would believe it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the hall gradually fell silent, Tilly stood up and said, if this was really a battle of divine will, where are the winners?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if you still remember that there are two sentences in the records of the underground civilization, that magic has made us extraordinary, and that the mastery of magic was a step to getting close to the divine meaning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We might as well assume that all participants in the Battle of Divine Wall could use magic, which means the winner could have raised the power of magic to a new level, thus going somewhere we can't see. For example, the Celestial World.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was also the conjecture that the three senior witches came up with after racking their brains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Roland felt that there were many loopholes, it was still better than a simple I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not knowing meant nothingness. According to common sense, the stronger a civilization was, the longer its footprint would remain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ancient people built houses with hay and mud masonry. A millennium was enough to turn them into dust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other hand, Neverwinter had concrete buildings that even after a millennium would still leave their outlines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A civilization that may have won the battle of divine will, disappeared without a trace after the war and that could only be identified from the scattered relics, undoubtedly made it quite easy for people to imagine the worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If winning could not reverse the fate of extinction, then this would greatly impair everyone's determination toward the war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This speculation by Tequila would at least help to set a goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what was written on the murals was written at least 1,400 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edith then said, and what the humans experienced cannot be called the first battle of divine will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though that's the case, changing the name would be confusing, Roland replied. So I tentatively called it a lost battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As to whether it was the first battle, that was not important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Majesty, Barov said hesitantly the expedition plan that was scheduled to be carried out after the start of the spring. Let's follow the previously formulated plan, he said without hesitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if there are a lot of unsolved mysteries in the battle of divine will, we must move forward. Maybe war itself was a way to get us closer to the mystery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we are defeated by the demons, then there will be no hope left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland paused, looked across the hall, and said clearly, this time, we must sweep the demons completely out of the Fertile Plains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not only to secure the space needed for Neverwinter's development, but also to lay the foundation for the final victory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After nearly a year of preparation, Neverwinter was now operating at full speed like a war machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The months of demons could not stop this new king city from madly absorbing neighboring resources.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The administrative office once thought that the population of 100,000 was an unattainable goal, but after just one year, the urban population had doubled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The infusion of a large number of fresh labor forces has led to the rapid expansion of various industries, and four new chemical plants were even added.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Machine-related processing and assembly plants have also exceeded double digits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to statistics, the monthly salary paid by the administrative office was close to 10,000 gold royals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland first arrived here, the highest income was only 24,000 gold royals. This was after plundering Wonsong Stronghold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, the fortune amassed by the Duke of the Western Region after half a lifetime would only be enough for two and a half month worth of wages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steam engines, PAL steamers, perfumes, and chaos drinks constitute the main sources of revenue. These goods were sold through the Joint Chamber of Commerce to the fjords in the Four Kingdoms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition to the reward that had to be paid, the rest of the money went to a large number of raw materials and handicraft products.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The coming and going of money now formed a delicate balance, and savings in the treasury have started to diminish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was a very uneven development model, but in the face of the threat of the Battle of Divine Will, Roland did not have much of a choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If resources were not devoted to heavy industry, machine guns would not be able to shoot at will, and artillery would always lack cannonballs. Only in this way could he arm the entire army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Air Force under the command of Tilly Wimbledon was also in active preparation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition, the Conscription Act and National Mobilization Act have entered the drafting stages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These two policies were aimed at improving the war potential of Neverwinter by mobilizing the ordinary students, workers, and farmers to perform the most basic discipline training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was similar to the college military training of the later years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although they could not be allowed to use guns directly on the battlefield, the training time could be shortened when there was an urgent need to replenish the manpower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the specific time for the upcoming Bloody Moon already had some discrepancy, no one could determine when the Battle of Divine Wall would start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be four or five years if they were optimistic and in the worst case scenario. It might be within one or two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Roland, the biggest strategic goal at the moment was to turn defense into offensive so that the war would be in the enemy's territory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, the demon who invaded the ruins of Tequila was the nail he had to pull out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, the transportation of materials and the mobilization of personnel began gradually during the late winter and early spring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was where the advantages of rail transportation came in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if heavy snow filled the entire fertile plains, as long as the rails were cleared, the essential war supplies could still be continuously transported to the front lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the steel produced in Neverwinter had become single steel rails. The route hidden in the misty forest had also been laid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once Roland made the order, the new Northern Expedition would be officially launched. Both the Corps and the city were ready to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, before this, he had two more things to handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the second day after the months of demons ended, Roland received a request for a meeting with Thunder. What's wrong, leaving so soon? He set up a relaxed afternoon tea in the parlor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While fetching Anna, he also sent an invitation to Margaret. With regards to this businesswoman who had a certain chemistry with lightning, he could only help this much. Are you impatient to explore the shadow sea city? I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Laugh thunder cheerfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every moment that I controlled the steel ship, I was imagining it facing the scene of the sea breeze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I could, I even hope to sail straight to the sea line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that case we will probably face the risk of water shortages halfway through the journey. Margaret shook her head reluctantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other chamber of commerce that have invested heavily and you would not be happy to see you leave their fleet behind. Unless you plan never to return to Fjord Islands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haha, I just wanted to express my excitement to his majesty, he said, touching his chin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Margaret said, this adventure is no longer just about me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, for the Fjords, the development of new sea areas means opportunities and wealth, and no chamber of commerce would be untempted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is probably the biggest expedition in the history of the Fjord Islands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to return as soon as possible to make adequate preparations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed that after Thunder's propaganda and recruitment, the team has now become a group. Roland smiled and sipped a mouthful of his tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thunder was without a doubt the greatest explorer in the fjords.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was able to attract huge investments just by expressing his interest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that in a few short months, you have already mastered the Steel Ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was thanks to Her Majesty Anna, said Thunder, saluting Anna by pressing his chest. The subsequent improvements that she made to the whole was of great help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to see it in person, otherwise, it would be difficult to imagine that such a large iron vessel could be nimbler than the three masted ships. I'd also like to make a request.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna nodded and said, this ship was only active in the shallow beach near the sea during the trial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's possible, I hope to get a navigation report about the deep sea area. All the problems encountered should be recorded there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is best to use Neverwinter's new waterproof ink and a sealant bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So even if it falls into the sea, it can be completely preserved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He probably did not expect her to make such a serious request, so Thunder hesitated for a while before saying, I understand. You can count on me, your highness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland touched Anna's head lovingly and then looked at Thunder. There's also something that I would like to entrust to you. I await your instruction. I'd like to recruit a group of explorers. Unrelated to this expedition, Thunder quickly realized. Yes, Roland put down his teacup. I would like them to go to the Endless Cape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember there was nothing except yellow sand and black water, Margaret said surprisingly. That's what I thought as well. Roland shrugged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The endless cape was low risk, so there would be no need for experienced experts. So quantity would be more important than the ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although we specified for an explorer, in fact, anyone can do it. Whoever finds any relics in the Endless Cape will be rewarded. Even if it's only a brick of the ruin that remains? Naturally, but only if it comes from the Endless Cape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He confirmed by saying, the more information a relic contains, the bigger the reward. The news will be valid for a long time. As long as I'm the king of Grey Castle, it'll be honored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With your words as a guarantee, I'm afraid that area will be crowded in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Margaret smiled and said, I wonder if I should take the opportunity to open a tavern in festive harbor. You would be most welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Promoting the economy of the oil port was indeed one of Roland's goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, the civilization in the painting had a history of at least 1,400 years. It was still unknown if anything was left behind at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Undoubtedly reward was a good way of recruiting explorers and killing two birds with one stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, your majesty, said Thunder, since the steel ship has passed the sea test and is officially put into use, does it have a name yet? Of course, I intend to call it the Snow Breeze. The Snow Breeze. The explorer pondered for a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surely it's a good name, but wouldn't that be too soft and not fit for its steel body?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both rigid and soft combined is the best way. Roland could not help raising his lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More importantly, this name implies auspiciousness and will surely bring you good luck this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While blowing a steam whistle, the ship slowly left the shallow beach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joan was standing at the stern, reluctantly bidding farewell to the exploration group. After a whole winter, her relationship with the witches had improved a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This rare friendship was particularly strong probably because it had been such a long time since someone had cared for her or had missed her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though it sounded dry and hard, she just kept repeating the phrase goodbye, which she had just learned before leaving. Lightning's expression looked quite lonely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She looked in the direction of the stern, her eyes wide open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many times Roland came close to telling her that Thunder was on the boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he thought of the latter's entrustment and eventually pushed the urge back into the bottom of his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie had covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking and with her eyes filled with tears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was unable to make any sound for quite some time, probably because she was afraid of crying. Only Lorga remained calm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was carrying Maggie on her tail, lightning with her one hand and waving at Joan with her other hand. Parting forever was something common for the Majans, so she had grown used to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Roland's eyes, Princess Lorda of the Wildflame Clan was not the loner she was when she first came to Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had already started changing even though she probably had not noticed it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was also a reason why Roland decided not to tell her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With such a group of friends, he was sure that lightning would return to her previous energetic self sooner or later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the sisters that left, for now, they would all eventually return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the following day, after Thunder's departure, Roland announced the news of King's City's first national sports meeting through Greycastle Weekly newspaper. There was only one event. Marathon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The starting points would be the main city areas of both Neverwinter and Longsong, while the finishing point would be the center of the Kingdom Main Street, a total distance of 28 kilometers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first 10 would win a prize ranging from 100 to 10 gold royals and the champion would receive a commemorative badge from the king himself. This news instantly shook the entire western region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon, everyone in the streets and alleys was inquiring about the event, and the fuss was no less than the release of the magic movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If 100 Gold Royals were used as a down payment, one could buy a home with water, heat, and electricity in the nearest district to the Castle District.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apart from those locals who moved at the very beginning, this was the objective for most Neverwinter citizens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the new King's City did not have an inner and outer city like traditional cities, and there were no walls between each area, people still wished to be closer to His Majesty the King.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually, achieving such a goal would require many years of savings, but now there was an opportunity to realize it instantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was different from the Outstanding Contribution Award and the Combat Hero Award. The former was given to Masters of their respective fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even without the gold royals of the prize, they still would not miss the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the latter, it would require a willingness to sacrifice your own time, courage, and also luck. However, what about the sports meeting? One only had to know how to run. Everybody had two legs after all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In everyone's eyes, this was another proof of His Majesty's compassion and kindness towards His people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the past, all good policies were directed towards official residents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, this time, what was more gratifying for most people was that this event was for all citizens, exactly as it was announced in the weekly newspaper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only citizens of Neverwinter, but even merchants coming from other cities could participate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was not surprising that this novel activity had created such a big impact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, what Roland wanted to do was not just to watch a competition and see who was the faster runner. A sports meeting was useful in strengthening cohesion, encouraging people to challenge themselves and work hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the aftermath of the Victory Day celebration and the last call before the start of the war, there was nothing more inspiring than a sports meeting. Also, he had one more small intention. To announce the comeback of the bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had always felt guilty about the failure of the product of his early policy, the proud invention of the King of Grey Castle, Chief Barov's advertisement presentation, as well as the posters that had filled the square everywhere at that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet, after producing no more than 200 vehicles, they had to stop the distribution due to lack of productivity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The factory was converted into the steam engine assembly plant and almost half of the finished products were given to the workers as salary remuneration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only had he failed to realize the scene he had envisioned of everyone riding a bike between the city's districts,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also lost a lot of resources due to improper planning. For example, all those specific machines and equipment used for producing the bike parts were recycled and the remaining half of the bikes, because they were too few to deliver them to the first army, were stored in a warehouse in the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From all the projects that he set up personally, this was the only one that didn't bring any benefit. That's why he had to erase this black stigma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nowadays, the situation in the city was completely different from two or three years ago. A crazy expansion had brought a dramatic increase of the urban areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Newly constructed districts had been built along Kingdom Main Street and the distance to major workplaces such as factories, docks, and mines was increasing more and more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Walking had become a time-consuming and tiresome activity whereas the perfection of the city streets had allowed the bike riders to easily reach more places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other hand, the productivity of Neverwinter had also been greatly improved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the application of rubber worms and new machine tools, they could produce the same results as the witches without any impact on existing projects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now it was a good time to bring up the subject of the bikes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as he let the second army follow the group of marathon runners on their bikes and act as guides and accident rescuers, everyone would naturally realize the benefit of this type of transport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gwell's burn flame walked out of the cabin and rubbed his cheeks. This concrete ship is powerful indeed, but it's too noisy. I'd go deaf if I had to stay for another two to three days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Father, are you really not going to hide your face tattoos and then change to some Northern Kingdom clothes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rohan closely followed him and said, those people at the docks, everyone is staring at us. It doesn't matter, let them stare. But, are you worried about being discriminated?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great chief said that in his domain, everyone is the same. I'd like to see if he has lied to the three gods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the mention of Lord or Burnflame, Rohan stopped talking and did not try to persuade him anymore. The chief shook his head secretly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed that his fight adapt sister was still having a heavy influence on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quells did not come all the way from the pour of Clearwater to here on a whim. The San Nation people who decided to move to the small oasis had finally won the revenge battle which lasted for two months, under the guidance of Brian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The masterminds behind the massacre of Silver Stream, the Wildwave Clan, and the Cutbone Clan had been destroyed and the six clan system of the Iron Sand City had since become history. He was bringing a message from Brian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a task did not have to be carried out by a family leader, but because of the war, the Wild Flame Clan missed the coronation ceremony of the Great Chief and so it was only appropriate for him to bring the news of their victory as a late gift in order to show his sincerity. Gwels was also curious to see how his Lord are doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She would never mention her troubles in her letters so it was best for him to see with his own eyes. Had she lost weight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As there were no fire lantern line or grilled sand ones here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After entering the city, the number of people suddenly increased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though there were still some people looking at them, it was only out of pure curiosity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the first time that Gwells saw such a busy environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had previously traveled to many cities in the Northern Kingdom, and the biggest impression those cities left him with was their prosperity. This was also a characteristic of the Northern Kingdom. Having more prosperous lands and resources than the southernmost region allowed them to create extraordinary cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Additionally, their only difference was that each of them was better than the previous ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, at first, he thought that the Great Chief's King's City would also be superior in this aspect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, to his surprise, what first attracted his attention was not the flat and long blackstone streets under the foot, nor the uniform layout of the houses, but the people here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter how big the inner city was, or how magnificent the castle was, there would always be some stray people, beggars, or rats on the side of the streets. They were like a part of a city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nonetheless, while walking in the streets of Neverwinter, these kinds of scenes were nowhere to be found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The expressions on people's faces were also completely different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such high-spirited expressions were rarely seen even among the newly promoted clans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wells always thought that the Northern Kingdom people were not much better than the Sand Nation people, who he actually considered as more resourceful due to their less advantageous environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Northern Kingdom, with its abundance of resources, was indulging in overly comfortable life and thus, the courage and will of their people were inferior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If unifying the power of the clans had not been so hard, they could have broadened their place of living. Yet, he was not so sure about that now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This kind of pride and self-confidence which came from the heart, it could not be faked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A city with such citizens, it would be best not to be their enemy even if they did not possess firearms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Father, are we going to search for Lordaer first or go to the castle to give the document? Rowan's impression was not that deep. He was more curious rather than surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't be hasty. If the great chief arranges for us to stay in the castle district, how are we going to verify his promise? Gwell's looked at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a big crowd around the square, making buzzing sounds and looking very lively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rohan followed his gaze and looked at that direction. Maybe they are rushing to buy discount products from merchants? Go and have a look, Gwell said. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ladder put on his hood, and with the advantage of his big height, he quickly squeezed into the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking at the back of his eldest son, Gwells could not help but sigh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of physique he was supposed to become the bravest warrior in the clan. However, fighting was not naturally appealing to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually, the one to become the pride of the Wildflame clan was Lorgr, who was anything but strong when she was born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was for this reason that Princess Lorda was considered by all clan members as the heir, while Rohan could not lift his head from all the pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though they were brother and sister, they rarely had any conversations together. They were like concentric people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyhow, the chief could not help but feel a bit disappointed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially when Lorda received everyone's appraisal, Rowan still did not show any sign of protesting. Majans have a preference for the strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if one's ability was not good, an unyielding will could still win the respect of others, which was much better than surrendering without even a fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is why even after Lorgr had left, he was still hesitating about him taking over as chief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rohan had performed well in other aspects, but a leader who was afraid of competition would slowly lose his advantage due to his constant hesitation. This was the reason Gwell's had brought his eldest son with him. He hoped for him to change through seeing more about the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fifteen minutes later, Rowland quickly squeezed out of the crowd, his face filled with a weird expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently it's a competition that the great chief organized in order to determine the fastest person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rohan explained, and the first one will be able to get 100 gold royals as a reward. That's why there are so many people who want to participate. Ha, isn't this like the holy duel? Only without the blood. Gwell smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like the Great Chief learned a few good things from the Sand Nation. What is the requirement to participate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's to determine who is the fastest, then we should have the right to participate too. Us? Rohan was startled. Father, you wanna participate too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, I used to be one of those elite warriors who could walk through half of the desert, leaving behind me even camels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rowan paused for a moment before saying with a low voice, I saw my third sister. In the crowd?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, his eldest son shook his head, she is, on a picture, wearing clothes that don't cover her entirely, with people circled around, pointing at her. What? Gwell's instantly frowned. Could it be that the Great Chief was humiliating her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last time, after riding to Lorgr, Neverwinter responded very quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he assumed that his majesty was treating her very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Lorgr was being humiliated only for the position of the Wildflame Clan, then he would rather not have all those green mountains and rivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While thinking about that, he walked towards the crowd with a serious face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The painting scroll that Rohan talked about was hung on one side of the square and not only it was very eye-catching, but there were actually more than one. When Gwell saw it, he immediately stopped, unable to move his body. Was that... Lorgr?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the first time that he saw his daughter being so beautiful. She was standing in the middle of a snowy scenery, wearing a white yarn and a brocade which were waving in the wind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a palace ceremony dress that Lorgr had never worn before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whilst in Iron Sand City, she always wore short clothes and pants, which were suitable for fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At her chest and arms, she always had bandages and she was always covered either in dirt or blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she did not have to fight, she would always cover herself tightly and make sure to hide her inhuman features under her clothes. This is what Rohan meant as not covered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lorger was clearly exposing her fluffy ears and tail, looking as if she wanted to attract attention deliberately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In one of her long ears, she wore a crystal red gemstone earring and its bright color seemed to make the whole picture look more vivid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the people around, their comments were not out of disgust and repulsiveness, but rather compliments. This is what most surprised quells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, through their chatting, he heard a new word, magic movie. So that was the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the kingdom of Grey Castle, everyone is the same. Was this the Great Chief's way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned around and gave Rowan a slap. Don't be so shocked next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your sister isn't some kind of monster. She just exposed her half-wolf form. I didn't say that.
