L87. Two Extremes 2

"I've already told you that the Miracle Maiden doesn't exist! Both the Day of Destiny and the destruction of Saphael brought by the resurrection of the Ancient Sprite King are nonsense! Those criminals who started lurking around the temple have begun to irk me. Leave here; I've more important things to do than explain fairytales to a child!" Darsus shouted hysterically.

"If you have so much time to spare, why not do something productive and get rid of the bandits who threaten the temple?"

"The temple will not know peace as long as those criminals lurk around every corner. What am I supposed to tell the Princess?" Darsus asked anxiously.

"You must drive those criminals away. Please. I don't have any money, but I do have some jewelry. I can offer you some baubles, if you're interested."

"Thank you so much. You've restored peace to the temple. Here is the reward I promised."

"You don't want the jewelry? It might not made from precious stones, but it's quite fashionable."

"Oh, I see. I heard Agogo mention it before. You are from the Guard, and you just want to know about the Miracle Maiden. You've wasted your time; I don't know anything."

"However, if you ever decide to stop helping the Guard, come back, and I'll help you discover the real Truth," Darsus commented darkly.
