グレイド兵団団長 ラウン

"If the tribe elders weren't so bent on their rules rejecting outsiders, we wouldn't have been forced to shut ourselves off behind high walls like this..." Raum says with a sigh.

"I must apologize for the way you were treated at the gate, but Schneider is just doing his duty in preventing anyone suspicious from getting in." I'm sure you understand." Raum bows deeply to you.

"I believe you need our help in tracking down the Beastmen?"

You give Raum a detailed account of the chain of events, including how you overcame the Beastmen in the cemetery.

"Great! "Perhaps you're the one we've been looking for! The prophesied savior of the Myriglia tribe!" Raum can hardly contain his excitement.

You aren't quite sure about being a savior. You try to find out more from Raum.

"Rather than try to explain our military affairs, I'll let Thorkin, a good friend of mine, fill you in! Go and see him, and take this letter with you."

"And don't be put off by his eccentric manner, he's a gifted scholar of the Classics." Raum seems very proud.

"Eh? What brings you back? Has Thorkin made any progress over there?" Raum's voice is full of concern.

You give him a detailed account of recent events, and tell him that you need some information about the Dazzledell Wood.

"Although nothing turned up in the Diamond Bell, it seems you'll need to enter the Dazzledell Wood to get any answers..." Raum states helplessly.

"Not long ago we were in a battle with the Beastmen. They suffered heavy losses and were forced to enter the forest. I assumed that they would suffer the same fate as the Myriglia inhabitants who entered there and were never seen again."

"But to my surprise, several days layer, the very same Beastman unit attacked us again..." Raum looks despondent.

"Some clansmen passing outside the forest heard a ferocious-sounding howl, and caught a glimpse of a strange creature moving about in the forest."

"If you really intend to go into the Dazzledell Wood, I suggest that you keep yourself safe by killing this creature."

"What is it? Any amazing discoveries in Dazzledell Wood? Raum eagerly quizzes you.

You explain about the mechanical drawing on the paper and tell him what Jennifer has inferred.

"I wonder... could it be...?" Raum looks down, deep in thought.

After a long time, Raum finally looks up.

"I have a general idea of how to solve the entire problem. "But for now, you and Thorkin should verify the translation of the stone inscription, then we can determine if the actions of the Beastmen are as our prophecy predicted."

"And thank you!" Raum pats you on the shoulder.

"Damn! I had hoped things wouldn't turn out as I feared!" Raum declares, exasperated.

You tell Raum about the stone inscription. On hearing the news, Raum's expression becomes stern.

"The prophecy says that we should cooperate with outsiders to resist the enemy and defend Dazzledell Wood!"

"It appears that the Beastmen have already looted the minerals there... And then there's the design drawing... I think that they are planning to build an ultimate weapon that can destroy the entire the world!"

(No wonder the Beastmen were transporting giant yellow crystals and are so eager to use the research and development center.) They must already have all the power they need to use the weapon.)

"Things are not looking good right now... You need to find the Beastman factory. Maybe you will find the special minerals there!"

"I've been to the Riptide Inn at Port Riptide and met a girl called Nell. She might be able to tell you where the Beastman factory is."

"But... before you find Nell, can you do me a favor?" Raum pleads.

"I promised to bring her the feathers of gem-faced birds because they're her favorite. But I can't really do that now with the war going on here."

"Please gather some feathers on your way and give them to Nell."

"I've been trying to take back Myriglia Cemetery, but Furious Mecha Beastmen are too strong..."

"We don't have enough forces to defeat the Beastmen, for now."

"I am ashamed to admit this. But could you help us to reduce the number of Furious Mecha Beastmen?"

"Have you eliminated some Furious Mecha Beastmen?"

"Thanks so much!" We've gotten one step further in getting back Myriglia Cemetery!"
