Daddy Arlecchino isn't suspicious... (Genshin Impact)

what is up my beautiful ninjas how you doing today well I'm still in prison sorry Mama by the way the female guards are drippy as hell yo look at this outfit Galer what the how the hell you say that anyway I don't know what the hell your name is but damn boo yes I love black and red could you tell hey you over there o hey who you talking to man yeah you say do you like playing card games no you know like genius invocation TCG to be honest I forgot that was even part of the game so even the prisoners play Yu-Gi-Oh you TCG players are like mint in the wild literally sprouting up everywhere more like diseases if you ask me hey come on now what's wrong with finding fellow invocation afficianados anyway care to join me for a game no thanks we're busy with other things at the moment yeah who the hell are you get away put get your hand away huh all right no pressure goodbye but why would you be looking for people to play genius in in a place like this don't people usually come here to fight whether you're throwing down cards or throwing punches it's all a competition isn't it it's all the same in my eyes there are lots of card players here in the Fortress when I saw you I immediately thought hey even Outsiders from other nations play cards so I came over to say hi would you mind chatting with us for a moment oh lumine what do we possibly have to speak to this man about sure great since since you've been here longer than us you need to flex your seniority a little bit right maybe you could start by telling us newcomers some stories about this place I thought you would have already heard everything by now all right then did you have anything specific in mind or do you want me to just pick a topic why don't you pick we'll let you know if we've heard it already I fail to see the point in all this all right have you heard any strange rumors since you've arrived yes like three of them then did you know that there are some people who are always gossiping over in the corner you mean like the one you're in right now I didn't know that oh come on lumine there are two guys who are always skullking around in the corners of corridors gossiping the bigger guy is quisto and the skinny one is lavaron people call them the bombshell Bros must got some big old titties I never really found their gossip very mindblowing it's pretty much just the same stuff that I hear about when I'm at work every day if you're interested you you can go talk with them they tend to talk a lot of nonsense but they aren't exactly bad H good to know do you have anything else to tell us H let me think sounds like you want to hear something a little more tantalizing how about something that's actually going to help me oh did you know that the Duke was also a convict in the Fortress of mpede before huh wait are you serious well to be honest it doesn't really surprise me it would be strange if he was promoted to lead from the outside that's right the Duke was an inmate just like you and me seems he was exiled here for committing some crime who knows how he ended up rising up to become the warden though he's friends with the head judge of the nation to go from an ordinary inmate to becoming the manager of the whole place I'm not going to lie I kind of respect that by the way do you happen to know anything about a forbidden zone a forbidden zone sounds like something that someone just made up I've never heard of that where did you hear about it an untrustworthy magician that's just a rumor we've been hearing but no worries if you've never heard of it do you have anything else you can tell us anything else not that I can think of but I'll be sure to tell you anything interesting I hear next time you'll have to play a game of Genius invocation with me first though no get the hell away from me there's a group of people over there let's go listen in we're awfully nosy today so I said that's not a faucet he hey who are you two why'd you come over all of a sudden no please finish that sentence I'd like to know oh uh sorry for eavesdropping sounds like you were talking about something private uh uh what's the matter they're just looking to join in on our fun that's all fun that involves faucets I don't think I should be here hey don't pretend like it's okay for them to just interrupt us like that fine you're lucky we don't mind extroverts that much thanks you guys are really nice so about that faucet that you two men were talking about in private you hear that Quist though what nice oh God your Expressions tell me you're looking to hear some juicy info am I right but before that it just so happens then I know you two so you know all about me in my juicy Interest really are we that famous you're kidding how often does anyone get a personal tour led by his grace himself practically everyone was talking about it word has it that you also caused quite the Kur fuffle oh he he it was just a little mistake oh come on now you know it's kind of interesting we're famous on the outside and as soon as we get to a new area we're all famous again to be honest I kind of would have liked being anonymous oh a little mistake huh I like the way you put it you see people with a good attitude can join our group anytime unlike some of the others here your group I'm quisto and this is laoon people usually call us the bombshell Bros but don't worry we're not playing with bombs or anything it's just that our information is always so explosive and we blow Minds on the regular yes I'm also a fan of bloes so you two really like to go gossip you sure know how to embellish no no you don't get it knowing intelligence will make things better for you here for example knowing who's working with whom who has the latest rumors who's not getting along wouldn't you like to know all that sure F Us in oh my archon I'd love to know please tell me oh blumi why do you hurt me whoa all this info is worth something you know you should prove you're worthy of it ah don't mind him qu does always this way just play nice and say something to massage his ego no I do not want to rub this big boy the welfare meals talk about the welfare meals we ate the most incredible welfare meal oh it's always about food right right that meal we had yesterday was super delicious Pon can still taste it whenever she closes her eyes is that so to tell you the truth I've been helping out with making those welfare meals I've been working as a kitchen assistant for about a month and a half now so are you the one that tried to poison me with the strange meat oh so you're the one who made those delicious steaks amazing you could be a professional chef you are correct I am a true professional in fact I even went to culinary school but enough about that and then went straight to prison since you like my cooking I guess that means we share similar tastes listen carefully this little bombshell will help you learn what's really going on here in the Fortress huh deliv run just win of me it seems he's saying don't be upset he's a good fellow listen kids the power structure within the Fortress is quite complicated the overworlds couldn't care less about us down here we're basically docks to them yeah I'd be upset too if somebody looked at me like a furry you've already met the one person here you should never cross the Duke Risley he knows more than than you think and if he doesn't care about something then he often doesn't bother dealing with it those who have the duk's attention get all kinds of special perks even better treatment in the infirmary I know who you mean it's that jurer character right I don't think there's anything useful about him at all why does he visit the infirmary practically every day is it normal for anyone to be going in and out of there so often if you ask me he's just faking it to get get out of work is this the guy that was researching Siggy but did you know that cha was a talented researcher from the Fontaine Research Institute before he came here there's no denying that your accent confuses me I don't care if he was a researcher that could turn dirt into Mora once you're in the Fortress of meped you're just another inmate like everybody else ah interesting according to qu a person named ziru frequents the infirmary I should take not of that speaking of witch the last time I saw him he was passing by in the corridor with lorine I also heard they started arguing in the library and got into a fight right guess that's just how terrible of a guy he is you mean he hit a woman wow I never imagined he was that bad I mean that's taking gender equality to the extreme ain't it but that lavine's also quite the odd one you know she's always gabing away got into a fight with a man and she also got sent to the Infirmary come to think of it I always see her going to the Sick Bay every couple of days too M sounds sussy huh wait a second you don't think do you think it could it be that there secretly meeting there to go on dates ah but it's really hard to imagine after all I do remember seeing line Beat jeria to a p that one time and we might be overthinking thanks so xiru had a confrontation with a girl named line who also frequently visits the infirmary I'll remember that too are we even contributing to this conversation look there are some people talking over there let's listen in on the conversation what is wrong with this today all right if you ask me those pompous parasites on the surface act like they're all a bunch of aristocrats do any of them give half a hoot about a bunch of dogs like us no you don't even have a name hey speak for yourself mate I'm no dog I could have been convinced otherwise a you think you're special or something if you're here then you're just a convict like the rest of us I've heard that even if you're released after serving your sentence going back to life on the surface ain't any better once a criminal always a criminal we're marked for life I mean you could just go to another Nation I don't buy that hey how cool would it be if the whole world was destroyed by a giant flood and everyone had to start over from nothing um can I report this man what kind of filthy bwat are you spewing I have family up there you best shut your sewer hole with talk like that listen things ain't so great on the surface but who says that you have to leave I've heard that you can still stay here and work even after you've served your sentence not bad if you ask me who wants to live in the Ruddy Overworld anyway yeah clean air is overrated and what makes you think they want to hire someone like you that's one of the great Mysteries of the universe how someone as useless as you is so confident wa sounds like they're really unhappy about the Overworld who cares they don't even have names speaking of which Pon never heard anyone use the words Overworld or underworld when we were living up there is it only something the inmates down here say well to be fair we never even knew this place existed I think you're right it's normal for convicts to be unhappy damn huh huh hi how are you that look in your eyes you found something a little something yeah hey this is no time to be modest just tell them we found a a boatload of information how dare you just snapping me like that what is your problem as expected of the legendary Duo you have my full and undivided attention you summarize your findings to Lon huh I'd have never guessed that myself the rumors swirling about this place are unreliable after all and master child probably went missing because he found a way out but there hasn't been any signings of him though he is a Harbinger after all I suppose he's much more resourceful than I initially gave him credit for unfortunately this isn't enough for our final report to Father we need to find out Master child's exact whereabouts yes we need to help Daddy father told me that even though Master child said he was just coming to Fontaine for a vacation he actually had some personal reasons his agenda might be linked to his disappearance the most important thing right now is to catch up to him his Escape Crow is already flooded so we'll have to test someone with professional diving skills to chase after him I find it quite insulting that I can't do it myself we did a whole Underwater World quest well when you put it that way it's obvious that only frin would be up to the task Bingo is he around he's working today coming here as a group would have attracted too much attention I'll talk to him about it later please do we're counting on you oh are we now really are we friends it's the least I can do do we're all in this together so it's only fair for us to fulfill our end of the bargain honestly I'm far more impressed by you guys managing to collect all this information right under risley's watchful eyes I mean I think he secretly knows why we're here collecting information has always been our strong point has it I thought it was interfering with national politics now let me think to find out more information fremin will have to retrace Master child's original route and if he's to do that he'll have to set out on the next pipe cleaning day at the earliest that's 6 days from now H and after that he'll probably take another two or 3 days to return man tell that boy to moisten up them legs I need V you can even estimate how long it'll take for him to get back we've been working together for a long time we know each other's capabilities like the backs of our hands traveler what say you to meeting here 9 days from now we'll be able to pick up F while we're at it too sure as long as we can skip that at a black screen that is oh and there's just one last thing we'd like your help with what do you want th man though we can just sit back and wait for fremin's report on Master child's whereabouts we still need to make more progress on the investigation of the forbidden zone fremin is no master of disguise lynnette's still working on getting Intel from the other areas and I'll need to spend some time helping femin prepare for his diving mission so you are the only ones we can count on sounds like a very efficient family you got there what do you want us to do will it be hard well I won't call it easy per se but I think you'll be able to pull it off listen carefully you'll need to find an excuse to get into the infirmary and investigate the room and environs you've mentioned several sketchy looking people always meeting at the infirmary earlier so it probably has something to do with the secret we're hoping to uncover you've already met the head nurse so she'll be less suspicious of you yeah sigy loves me man investigate the internal structure of the infirmary and any active dealings within and pass those on to me alongside anything else you're able to discover but also there's no need to take risks don't forget safety always comes first sounds good I'll give it my best shot did you only say that because I'm an amateur this is the fifth Nation we should be professionals no when it comes to intelligence gathering I'd never consider you to be an amateur didn't you say it yourself it's always been your strong suit I'll believe anything as long as it comes from you so please prove your prowess to me once again all right then we'll head out as soon as we finish our prep let's go our separate ways for now then don't forget we meet here again in 9 days stay safe can you please bring Lynette with you next time after doing some prep work with Pon you begin not finishing reading what's happening what are we doing hey stay here for now p m will take a peek best keep your mouth sh but Bo you always be yelling there seem to be several people inside let's try to ease drop on them first you and Pon hide in a corner and try your best to EAS drop on the here several people appear to be engaged in conversation but I feel like I feel something as well it's nothing positive it's not impossible [Music] so it's a bit hard to understand them from here so why don't we just try to talk to them in person let's go as soon as you're ready truly your master of Espionage Pimon you nod to take a long deep breath before inhaling a large amount of Vape okay if you recall correctly that portion is the result of a fail attempt that Alchemy once before Oh no lum's been vaping haven't giving it a good whiff you hand the potion back okay someone please help she she's sick I started vaping please save me before it's too late whoa are you okay take my vape pen away oh my what's wrong little one there's no need to panic take a deep breath before you begin the traveler started complaining of a stomach ache and the nausea and then collapsed onto the ground P doesn't know what to do freezing limbs twitching fingers and pale complexion could it be poison oh no let me take a look please lie down over here my stomach hurts what is this real don't worry I'll get you to the bed safely here hold on to my shoulder and walk slowly a thank you Siggy you can do it traveler thank you I'm sorry I'll never Vape again don't apologize you're sick after all now please relax I'm just going to do a preliminary checkup on you siguen has taken out a few instruments and begun to do her checkup I hope I'm not so healthy that she gets [Music] suspicious I see now we done already lost my check aest confirmed that she's not in any mortal danger that's our worst fear out of the way eh oh that's good but I'll continue my diagnosis of the patient now please relax and take a deep breath sigg's using her hands to palpate different areas of my abdomen seems like she's using Elemental energy too her expression's growing more and more relaxed a ween already been caught don't sense serious damage to your organs either does it hurt when I press here it's not too bad and here huh but based on my initial checkup there shouldn't be a problem here how strange oh no was my acting a bit over the top what about here does this hurt no not really can barely feel it oh H I understand so that's what it is a serious case of CA I think you just ate something that disagreed with you that's all nothing too serious huh how side of a pretty bad stomach ache when it decides to act up so that's what it is thank goodness it's not anything more serious the welfare meals are working as intended mhm and there have been other inmates complaining about the food recently I'll inform our head chef Mr walie of this problem as soon as possible fire his ass congratulations the health risk is incredibly low so you should recover within a couple days why don't you take a rest here while I go get some medicine for you oh sigy's so cute Miss larine I'll have to trouble you to help me look after this new patient while I'm gone very well and she hopped away just like that you this infiltration mission is going much more smoothly than I imagined next there were only two people left in the room sigy just called that woman lorine so she has to be one of those frequent visitors to the infirmary I've heard of before with that mean the man next to her is Z then hello so how are you feeling now nothing D your boo I can't keep staring at her it'll draw unwanted attention that guy also seems to have noticed now he's looking in my direction too her stomach aches really bad she was stumbling about the whole way here so Pan's really worried if Miss seuen says it's not a serious problem then there's no need to worry she's the best medic we've got down here but it also looks like she's is the only medic you've got down here d h well that's true what do you mean that's true that's really misrepresenting the situation of course I can't speak for the whole Fortress but it's not like everyone in prisoned here is useless you know though they may have committed crimes and gotten locked up here as a result they still know a thing or two about medicine and they help missu take care of the sick and injured yeah yeah you're right but did you have to lecture me about it in front of another patient aren't you a patient too where did all your energy come from uh huh that's correct sorry I got a bit ahead of myself wait a minute are they faking it too perhaps we could work together are you two also sick we've been sick a while I come back every once in a while for checkups and to pick up the medicines Miss sien prescribes for us that's just the nature of chronic illnesses as for her you could say she fancies herself as Miss se's capable Helper because she learned a bit of medical knowledge ages ago please watch your mouth Mr Jer don't forget that you are the primary reason I have frequent heart palpitations hey don't start arguing now please keep it civil at least those two seem to have a pretty terrible relationship and they only ran into each other because they came here to pick up their meds at the same time books but outside of the two of them there's nothing suspicious inside the room all the files on the table appear to be patient records and while there's a box I can't check it out right now pipe oh there also aren't that many Furnishings On The Wall E wait do seems to be a movable hatch on the ground over there wait really where I don't see anything hey hey there's no need to find fight everyone will be released someday so there's no need to argue over silly things like this but release it's way too early for us to even think about that and who the heck knows if we'd even be able to continue our previous lives the presence of a movable hand isn't strange by itself but perhaps it's my adventurous intuition speaking but isn't it a bit strange that there's a movable hatch here of all places H see you got shipments going on is it hiding something please allow me to end this boring and useless conversation oh and Mr Jer I don't want to see your face here again anytime soon but all you got to do is take off your glasses and same to you Miss lorine anyway that was more than enough rest for me so I'm going to get out of this excessively noisy Place see you later everyone he just slowly walked off like that H that's just what he's like I'm sorry you had to see all of that I'm line and that's well his name is jurer but I hope you'll never have cause to remember his name well luckily for you I probably won't but damn you really can't stand him huh I mean can you blame me who would like someone who's as arrogant and obsessed with weird research topics as he is but there's no need to keep dwelling on him I I'll accompany you to for a while miss zween should be back soon and I'm sure you'll feel better as soon as you've had some of her medicine thank you for looking after me no no it's nothing okay I'm back did you rest like you promised Siggy thank you for getting our medicine Miss Sween did you all cooperate with your bed rest I trust that nobody got up to walk around H good here this should be 2 days worth of medicine for you take one pill now and then continue your bed rest wait a minute I don't actually need this is this going to hurt me Miss line I left in a bit of a hurry just now do you still remember if we discussed the color of the pill that you should be taking today I remember you said it should be yellow did they talk about that before we walked in why don't I remember it's a secret code yellow huh I understand these are yours please make sure to go to bed early after taking them tonight you'll benefit from a good night's sleep all right then I'll also be on my way now I hope you feel better soon too thank you thank you see you I'm going to fill out your medical record now you're widely known as The Traveler right I just want to double check a few details if that's all right with you those two made quite the commotion just now so why don't we let the travel rest Pon can answer the questions instead yes my mouth is very inconsistent mhm so her primary symptoms are abdominal pain with secondary symptoms of nausea is there anything else H that's it all right then is there anything we should know besides to take the meds no her Bas Constitution is quite good so I'm sure she'll recover quite quickly after taking the medicine please make sure to stick to Bland or less stimulating foods and don't stay up too late at night but I always eat Takis and stay up until 2: a.m. got it P will hold the traveler to that for sure you're not taking my Takis from me sigi still looking at me I should just try to take a nap like she said oh you're going to take a nap already okay then you get some rest you move yourself to a regular patient bed and relax completely the we you could still however catch some hits we've been to lots of places together she may look a bit under the weather now but she's actually super strong I never realized just how small Pon really is so you're the best of companions don't worry soon companion that word brings a more wave of I can't read Siggy hello am I caught yet how do you feel you slept for a really long time but we never left I feel a lot better thank you both well now you can go back without a worry in the world remember to take your meds regularly and remember Bland Foods no I will never give up my Takis mhm thank you Miss seen you really are something to be able to fall asleep like that and even sleep talk the entire time you scared pman half to death did I say anything I shouldn't have no but you kept mumbling things along the lines of pyron go take my grilled fish and put down the adeptus Temptation now I mean that does look pretty good though Pon talked with seen the entire time you were asleep she seems like she's just a sincere nurse and Pon didn't notice anything unusual in the room are you sure we're not going off track with the infirmary are really off track though there are still a few weird things about that place that movable hatch on the ground as well as the question sigy asked line and also were they really talking about their meds before we walked in oh and was line and argument genuine or were they just putting on a show yo Pon listen up wa you really are super thorough all those tiny little suspicious things that Pon didn't even pick up on we've got to give the info to Lenny how funny would it be if these rooms were tapped over the next few days you and Pon work at your stations as normal during your shifts however you managed to find Opportunities to write keywords relating to your situation on a piece of paper oh my God I could read it in [Music] time you managed to pass the slit to a busy Lunette as she happens to pass by her disguise is impeccable and she does not even look at you or change her expr expression as she Pockets the and finally the promised ninth day arrives oh H back to the corner did you two run into any trouble over the past few days no we just worked our shifts according to the schedule nothing weird happened I almost died from vaping H that's good that means you didn't raise any suspicions when you infiltrated the infirmary we've taken a look at the slip you've sent fremin successfully left the grounds via the pipes 2 days ago and as of last night Lynette has also infiltrated the infirmary after faking an illness wait why is she getting involved as well you already went above and beyond when you scoped out the infirmary to put it more bluntly even if we were to view that as something you did in exchange for fremin's help you've already done more than enough infiltrating a guarded stronghold is a different kind of job from a one-off investigation we want to avoid using the same faces over and over and reduce the amount of suspicion that will fall on any given person Lynette also felt like you have already taken the first step for us so she should be the one to finish the job damn what have y'all been doing this whole time then so that's what Lynette thinks oh Pon hopes everything's going well for her yeah I'm not opposed to helping you up Lumi please H perhaps that's true you are both very good people and we've come to appreciate that more than anyone else unfortunately there's still one thing that could get between us lest you've forgotten the matter of our respective loyalties oh no no no no I'm cool with Daddy the papao be thick you mentioned before that you've had some run-ins with the fouille I can understand that feeling so I assume you're just helping us out of the kindness of your hearts well everyone could use some more friends we'll be counting on you to help us in the future too mhm since I see you as friends then it's even more important for us to protect you from any Peril fremin and Lynette feel the same way I get it now glad to hear it then let's go check on Lynette before fremin returns if if everything went well then she should be wrapping up her investigation right about now is now really a good time to go over according to my observations seen always spends around half an hour away from the infirmary right before lunch Lynette knows this as well so this should be a good time to meet up with her oh yeah we heard about that too also I'm her brother remember it's only natural for an older brother to care about his younger sister's wellbeing if only you inherited the fabled kitty ears the next should be here right now huh she did strange Lynette as expected seen isn't here but why isn't Lynette here could she have found a lead and left to follow it no Lynette rarely deviates from the plan we agreed that if she were to make changes on the Fly she'd find a way to let me know unless let's see if there are any clues around here we can look while we wait for her who knows maybe she'll be back soon it's over there are some books here and a few files they all look like medical records H advanced nursing how to raise the spirit of your patience a quick guide to the psychology of emotions and the meaning of laughter these sure are some interesting books who knew seen would be interested in these kinds of things I thought she was a very nice little lady she even has books on understanding people's motivations and feelings hm is it because she's a meloine or does she have a need to understand her patient's emotional state probably both to be honest H seems quite normal to me these are skills that would come in handy for a nurse from time to time none of the beds have any signs of having been slept in except that one over there that's the one Lynette must have used right you said she was pretending to be sick mhm she would have said her migraine was having a particularly bad flare up generally speaking the head nurse would then ask her to lie down and rest while she left to retrieve the medication but this bed is still unmade which means either the head nurse didn't return the entire time from when Lynette laid down up until she left the bed or the nurse intentionally left it this way oh no that's not a good sign we got to save Kitty lady ah this is it we saw it before wait this thing it doesn't look like it's been disguised that well the space behind it is empty from its size I don't think it's an entrance that is meant to be taken apart there's probably a mechanism around here somewhere could Lynette have tried to get inside but if that's the case she would have contacted me for sure we've been made H let's look around here for some more clues Don't Panic just take another look it's all going to hell the look on Lenny's face he's definitely beginning to panic Don't Panic he probably said that subconsciously more for himself than anything else hey you guys there's a slip of paper over here a slip of paper it's right over here and there's a bunch written on it too it reads out of respect for your usual practices I'll use a piece of paper or card as the medium to pass on my message you may consider this is me giving you my best regards this is what is is that all is there anything on the back the back this this is show me now what's happening that look on your face P's reading it now would you care to guess where Miss Lynette of the foule could be right now oh no no could she have is she already rle did he deliberately leave the infirmary unguarded to use it as bait wait you mean he was aware of our goals from the very beginning but why we didn't run into any trouble last time and he also never reached out to us since why would he choose to act during our second infiltration attempt instead of the first yes that is a crucial question rise he doesn't do anything without a clear goal or Reason so this means he had no concerns about your activities from the very beginning you are not from the same camp as us you were sent down here by nervet so you have no conflict of interest with Risley we're a completely different story though why did he only go after Lynette I'd like to know that too why did he only go after her don't panic just think everything over I have to stay calm this is not not like what happened last time the Situation's different now how be because he knows that he's weaker without her wait you're right wait but that means the fact that fremin was able to leave the grounds could Risley have let him go as well but what does he gain by letting F leave like that I get it now wait we do he deliberately made them both disappear so he's challenging me and trying to provoke me I'm sure of it we never should have sent out fremin we had to go through all that trouble to find an opening to sneak him around the guards and into the pipe and we even thought luck was on our side if Risley let him leave on purpose then he's probably in a terrible spot now as well Lenny's getting more and more panicked we have to calm him down Lenny calm down I think that's the worst thing to say to someone when they're panicking don't be like this Lenny from wouldn't have left if we hadn't told you about child that was our fault no I'm the leader of this operation and I'm the one responsible for this team I was the one who failed to protect them I'll go talk to Risley hey don't be Reckless traveler please talk some sense into him I simply cannot allow Lynette to be abducted again I have to go I'll find a way to get them back bro the nation of Tears strikes again in you going he's rushed out the door after him wait sigy was there the whole time how did we not see her I knew it I knew it man I feel like we still have some room to make changes on these details it's not impossible but it'll require extensive testing is that so very well then please be mindful of the time huh oh her melison ears he can see us better is someone pack everything up man p m ain't built for this life whoever's outside is e dropping they'll probably come in once we stop talking someone please help she she's sick whoa are you okay we failed these two as expected they've already found this place oh they are quite sharp what a delightful turn of events I like smart people but I also like playing dumb I like the feeling of being trusted oh my what's wrong little one there's no need to panic take a deep breath before you begin being able to read human Expressions is quite the useful skill God dang Siggy I like her come out and face me Risley aren't we at an administrative office space why don't you at least try to follow even a couple rules from the fortress's indoor management regulations Jesus it look like he done walked into the boss room bro what did you do to my sister I ran into the young Miss at the infirmary I had heard that she was suffering from quite the migraine so I decided to invite her over for a cup of tea I do have some teas in my collection that can work wonders against such an illness stop joking around where did you take my siblings I have also heard that your performances are quite the spectacle Miss Lynette would sometimes enter a box filled with water only to emerge the next second from another place altogether maybe she'll appear behind you right now now if you were to turn your head wait what is he trying to trick me into turning my head no he's probably not looking to attack me right now all of the hostages are in his hands and he's even in the mood for small talk that means Lynette is probably still alive you knew we were investigating the infirmary from the start so you deliberately aroused the Traveler's suspicions and baited us into continuing our investigation just so that you'd be able to kidnap Lynette as for fremin no you probably didn't even interfere with child's Escape you let him go so you could Purge the fouille members that we had planted into your ranks there was no need to do so the Fortress of meped is a pretty Pleasant Place most people enjoy their lives here the only ones who act differently are those with personal agendas it was quite easy to identify your colleagues I mean they all look like a circus group anyway you removed our original members and spread the news of child's Escape so father would assign our team to come down and investigate FR has also fallen into your hands right if you're oh so omnipotent and so in control why would you need hostages one correction Lynette is in my hands right now but fmin is not he's not what do you really want lny oh wonderful everyone is here so I'll only need to say this once thank you so much for cooperating with me we l f yo roesle what you doing homie eager into the point I see alas only miss Lynette is currently having a cup of the fortress's finest tea although as per your original plan Mr fremin should also have returned to the Fortress by now but he has neither shown up within my Gates nor has he been taken into any kind of custody so where do you think he may be right now wait you can't mean you locked him outside in the sea they shut the gate on his ass I closed the fortress's gate to the outside world that's all f is a star diver so he should be fine right no we're still here so he definitely tried to find a way to come back for us so we can't assume he might have made a break for the surface but why would I do this you may be asking to have an audence with you of course my Intel tells me that Mr Linny is a great magician so it's only natural for me to want to have some cards of my own when it comes to negotiating besides I do recall you mentioning to miss Lynette that you've always wanted to have a face-to-face meeting with the Lord of The Fortress of meped regardless of whether it was in a personal or a professional capacity well you got your wish so you've been keeping tabs on us before we even set foot in the for foress I mean newbie did tell us that he knew everything on the outside some of my folks just happen to hear a thing or two that's all in any case I will be straight with you I was willing to play dumb and turn a blind eye so we had a pleasant few days playing games together here but once you started focusing on the forbidden zone all of that changed Mr Linny the cards are stacked against you right now miss Lynette is in my hands and Mr femine is still slowly being pickled out there in the brine you know just as well as I that he cannot last out there forever you need do but one thing to guarantee their safety I would like you to contact your Superior and ideally invite her over for a cup of tea with me wait a minute you trying to summon daddy yes yes yes yes yes I endorse this well except without the whole killing FID thing but bring Papa here you want to see father but why should she bother giving you an audience well if she cares for the well-being of her dearest children she should have plenty of motivation to join me for a parents evening I've heard that the bonds between the members of the House of the Hearth are like the bonds of family I don't see why she would refuse why did you think father sent us to handle the Fortress of marpit this place is basically in no man's land it wouldn't be fitting for anyone as important as a Harbinger like father to come here in person oh I see so it's because she doesn't care for my place here that's such a shame after all I've amassed quite the tea collection I was looking forward to sharing it with her both M nlet and lady finina have already received many samples as gifts was this the extent of your master plan to get to Father no matter how much pressure you may put on me I won't allow you to use us to blackmail her new people really are difficult to get along with all I'm asking for is a face-to-face conversation does she truly have no interest in the fortress's secret Mr Linny you have one last chance to invite your father here if you refuse hey take the deal man it's going to be fine Linny why do you have to do this man instead of asking why I'm doing this why don't you try to see things from my perspective for a second from the very beginning the fouille has been actively infiltrating my Fortress I gave you a warning by cutting off the first few operatives I found but that only caused you to Double Down had you given up on the Fortress then and there I'd have no reason to want to talk Mr fremin left the fortress on his own and Miss Lynette tried to pry out my secrets right in front of me no matter how you look at it the responsibility for This falls on you I I shouldn't ask father to do anything because of us six 5 wait I 2 1 time's up it really is a shame Mr Lenny dude what's going to happen Risley negotiations have broken down please leave ladies and gentlemen it's time for my afternoon tea this man said I'm going to go sip on some tea please wait can we really not talk about this some more hey yo you a Savage man yeah listen to The Traveler if you can't talk to Lenny can you at least talk to I you do realize that I'm only letting you go because of net yes you're here helping him out and I've already done my best to stay out of your way but that doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want the Fortress may be small and remote but it still has its own set of laws but I want to say friy and Lynette though H then how about this those who are capable deserve respect you've spent quite some time investigating my home turf by now so why don't you tell me a thing or two about what you found H I'll ask you three questions answer all of them correctly and I'll agree to your request wait a minute can I actually fail oh no question one regarding the hidden rules of the production Zone what is the truth behind the one about not being allowed to work for 3 Days in a row I can't believe this he's asking about the hidden rules if I recall correctly if you keep working without any rest during lunch hour on the third day you will find a portion of strange meat in your welfare meal it's a good thing that we've already run through an investigation on this let's see if I can remember all the clues I should be able to find an answer if I piece together everything okay okay okay okay I I get help I thought I was actually going to be screwed for a second the hidden rule of the production Zone what people are not supposed to work 3 days in a row and if they do they'll get strange meat in their welfare meal where were you keeping those we need to talk about this at first we thought this strange meat must have something to do with the people who disappeared but in reality they were all prepared by seen the head nurse she often visits the production Zone to observe the workers's health and makes a note of anyone who has worn themselves out after three full days of work out of her sense of Duty as the head nurse as well as her genuine concern for the worker's Health sewe visits the cafeteria right before lunch and Cooks an extra dish for those who can use the stamina boost seen has only the best intentions with her surprise gift and doesn't want anyone to find out about what she does however unfortunately melines as a race perceive the world differently from hum hum and their sense of Aesthetics is even more alien to us yes she literally trying to feed us purple tentacle the recipients of her lovingly prepared special meals cannot taste the care within and usually just freak out are we on the right track not bad you've uncovered seuen secret and even guessed her intentions correctly as well it's nice to know that her efforts have not gone unacknowledged all right now for my next question question there are also some hidden rules in the panra ring including the one that you're not allowed to support both sides of a fight why is that the hidden rules of the pancre Ring I remember if someone tries to support both boxes at the same time they'll receive a package the next morning which contains a strange blood colored liquid we've also done a lot of research on this matter let me sift through what I found and come up with the correct answer that hidden rule the pancre ring is about how um people are not supposed to bet on both boxers at the same time and if they do they'll receive a package containing a strange blood colored liquid people get scared when they see it because they've subconsciously begun to associate it with the missing boxer but really it's just a bottle of the latest yet to be named and packaged new font a trial product a blood red drink it's no wonder even font's own staff were questioning the company's decision making the company facing backlash from its own staff decided to try to trial the product on a smaller scale to see how it might be received by customers what do you mean nobody wanted some strawberry fan that thing is good they came to the Fortress of meede and offered to sponsor the pancre tournament so they could push their new product but the Duke completely refused to even entertain the idea the Duke knowing how valuable coupons are in The Fortress knew that only total idiots who didn't understand their true value would bother buying a font product here and so only those who proved their stupidity by being dumb enough to bet on two opposing sides of the same match were selected to receive the drinks wait a minute so was an idiot test and we failed okay very fitting I acknowledge the effort you've put into bringing the truth of this mystery to light failure although based on your description that font promoter is a bit too careless with his words I may just reconsider my collaboration with the company all right and here's the final question what's the secret behind our head nurse and all of her patients in the infirmary uh-oh we haven't collected enough info to answer that question stop your cruel and pointless games rice Ley you know that we haven't finished our investigation so there's no way we can answer the last question wait wa the thought of sparing lyette and femin never even crossed your mind hey yo man yo chill you'll pay for this wait what no no no no no no no wait is he dead it was a good run lony lny are you all right oh close one I owe you siwe that was a fantastic shot what she shot him it was nothing Your Grace she has a gun Y sigy sigy is the chosen one bro SE though this gun may look like a toy it's actually fully functional as I just demonstrated yo shoot him again see you are you his accomplice in all this I mean they work together not at all I am merely a resident of the Fortress and thus protecting it is my duty when M sure nervet asked me to come here he told me that my job would be to take care of the well-being of everyone here I am merely discharging in my duties but if you mean what you just said then isn't Linny someone you should be looking after as well isn't he a resident here just like the rest of us if you're close with nuie why not learn a thing or two about virtue from him are we really going to lecture them about protecting their home from spies but I really am just doing what M nerva told me to do everything I did I've done to protect them had I not they would be in Far More Dire Straits right now his grace knows it too right your Face mind proving my innocence to them my dear seen whatever shall I do with you would it have killed you to just wait another minute or two oh he wanted to throw down man well it's nearly time after all the way you do things can be truly frustrating sometimes your grace I figured I should try to talk some sense into you what are you talking about what time take me if you want let them go mhm how touching can you just give me one more minute I love this man don't be like that your grace all right everyone calm down two more visitors will be arriving anytime now I'll go get a cup of tea Miss seen I leave Miss Lynette in your care this dude is just all about his tea you what are you doing flexing on your ass that's what he's doing I believe I hear footsteps the door suddenly slams open a familiar figure bursts into the room some space please chlorine chlorine what are you do you're here ah Miss Chlor my door chlorine hi hello F oh yeah that guy he's fine what's going on what is claran doing here work oh uh yes ma'am I'm sorry about shooting you Mr Lenny the tranquilizing effect will begin to wear off soon please take it easy in the meantime though what happened to femine wasn't he diving just outside of the Fortress why is he looking like like this these symptoms it can't be a flushed face an accelerated pulse he must have consumed primordial sea water oh what the hell okay I got to stop playing what do bro he going to die what did you say please make some space I'll need to give Mr frin a more thorough checkup you're Grace I'll leave the rest to you I'll talk to cland while you get from to where he needs to be every everything else can wait did he drank the melting water bro he's done what's that look on your face I thought I made good time on the way back oh I'm just admiring your punctuality had you arrived just a few minutes later sewe may have been forced to shoot Mr Linny again how's the situation out there the water has changed it's pretty much as expected the concentration of primordial sea water has increased significantly oh wait a minute that's the prophecy the primordial seaw water is going to spread everywhere and they'll all melt and die I was only out there a short time so it wasn't too bad but if one were to stay for any significant amount of time well you can see how that boy is doing where was he when you found him the abandoned Zone at the end of the pipes a good distance into the water closer than I thought he must have recognized it early on and tried desperately to swim back locking the door was necessary I don't think we could have saved two well I did try to convince him that I had my reasons never seems to work though it would probably work on net he has a knack for picking out who had good intentions even when the outcomes were all terrible it's a bad sign if you're having to plead your case to noet want some tea my man how who made you this way not particularly if you want to drink some that badly just say so fine I'd like to get some tea want me to get you a cup too since I've already made it H might as well then I suppose actually do you have a towel I would like to dry my hair you have got to be kidding me Lenny's expression looks disgusted it seems like he'd rather not have sigy touching fmin still he didn't stop persons it's obvious that F doesn't require urgent medical care or he does require Medical Care damn I can't read sigg's examining F carefully she doesn't look too upset which is a good sign I hope F A will be okay how is he these symptoms are probably caused by an acute ingestion of a large amount of primordial seawater still his condition is not critical really how was he not dead everybody else dissolves instantly of course it would be best if he stayed for further observation let's leave him here for now and move him to the infirmary once he's recovered a bit more sorry I am aware that the infirmary may not be your favorite place in the world at the moment we do only have a single clinic in the Fortress however why would he ingest a large amount of primordial seawater after leaving the Fortress how could that possibly happen please look after Mr f for the moment I'll go fetch some medicine and a respirator oh I'll bring Miss Lynette back with me oh yeah what happened to her where is she how is she right now oh she just took a nap in an empty room after I tranquilized her if my calculations are correct she should also be waking up right around now you might not believe me but his grace and I actually made some snacks and tea for her dude Siggy is a trained assassin liony has finally begun to stop tensing the muscles on his face it seems that he trusts what sigy just said I mean you better you going to get blasted again Lenny are you okay I'll be fine they're all here now don't worry about me are you sure you don't look all right wait chlorine is leaving I must go my hands and feet are still a bit weak but that's probably just the residual effects of the tranquilizer shot I'm back everyone hey she back Lenny traveler Pon you're here too f is he he'll be fine but for now please help me lift him up Ling andette immediately come to LIF it might even have a chance yo welcome back homie you briefing oh he dying his breathing's beginning to slow down give me a hand and help me get him to the infirmary yeah I'll take him from this side Lynette together on it traveler you seem pretty worried about him want to come with us very well wait really line actually seems very chill I don't know about that one the Duke and cland are gone they probably went to get some tea the Duke will explain the truth in just a bit Miss claran will need a break since she only just returned from rescuing fem out of the sea this man in his tea chlorine saved from from the sea just what happened there oh he did oh no wait I believed in you the whole time FY he's awake frin how do you feel Lenny Lynette we're all here where am I the infirmary had to for of mpede Mr F and you are no longer in any danger yeah man how's that ancient bathwater treating you how do you feel don't push yourself if you're not feeling up to it traveler Pimon it's been so long has it really I feel like in the game it's only been like a couple weeks right the see there's something wrong with the seawater sh it's okay we can talk about it after after you've recovered no listen to me this is really serious there's primordial seawater mixed into the regular sea water I don't know why it's there but no one should touch it what happened after you snuck into the pipes pipes right the pipes It's All Coming Back to Me Now ah the white screen R where is the dark mode I'm in seems like this pipe hasn't been used in a long time it looks abandoned man what the hell they said they needed a diver to go in there that's not even barely water and I could have went in there myself where could Master child be I swear to God every trial character in the story uses no bless every single one wait what the uhoh but he choking my heart is racing and it's it's getting harder and harder to breathe what's going on no good I have to get back they still don't know anything about what's going on if I turn back right now I should still be able to make it no it's over man wait how did they even find him I can't die here this this is bad I'm feeling worse and worse and I'm still underwater I have to push on oh no yo Chlor chlorine she's here big hat Mama help this man so in other words the trail you were following vanished and you had no idea where Master child could have gone but there was also no obvious place for him to have disappeared to wait a minute how did Chlor not get affected by the water shouldn't you had been in danger too mhm that's right I tried my best to swim back but I had already put some distance between myself in the Fortress and I just couldn't find the strength to keep going I probably passed out some time after that and you know the rest Miss cland brought you back but we you also don't know why she just suddenly appeared at The Fortress or why she went out to save you yeah why did she decide to save you should have just left you in the pipes huh what the hell Pon miss cland you say I must go thank her in person you're still too weak for you can go after you've had some more rest Miss lenette is right I Believe Miss flan will stay here as a guest for another few days so there's no need to hurry wait a few days I like this prison a guest then I can assume Risley was the one who invited her to come down here you should ask his grace about that he'll be able to explain better than me got it I'll go talk to him there must be more to this than just a tea party yeah it's about time he actually told us what's going on want to come with us Lenny no please go on without me I don't want to leave just yet I'd imagine you ain't eager to get back to that ass whooping Lenny the logical part of my brain is aware that we're safe right now but I still can't bring myself to leave both of you are just in danger understood then let's just sit together for a while no family in that case I'll leave the infirmary to you the traveler and I are going to head out for now as long as you stay in here I don't think you'll be disturbed thank you yes you can trust the infirmary now excuse me I take it Mr F's condition has stabilized yes while you were in here sipping of course I wouldn't have left the infirmary otherwise I've been expecting those two but might I inquire as to the purpose of your visit Miss seen I wanted to check up on Miss claran how are you feeling mostly fine I think really I mean you didn't Breathe In The Water either if you don't mind I'd like to perform another quick physical exam it'll just take a few minutes all right thank you for looking out for me I'll take my leave for now then no no come back everything I love gets taken from me well want to explain yourself Risley of course but I'm not partial to the word choice of explain how about Enlighten you've got to be kidding me please enlighten us as much as you like where should I begin how about you start by asking me any questions you have you can start with whichever one you'd like to get answered the most H then Pon will begin what did you know about Lenny's goals from the very beginning no I just knew they were fouille operatives sent to the Fortress by the Nave as for their specific goals I only figured those out as you made progress on your investigation you managed to Monitor and stay ahead of them even though you didn't know what they were trying to do they came here with ulterior motives I'm quite Adept at Discerning what that kind of behavior signals why didn't you stop them though initially I thought their goal was just to investigate child's disappearance Lenny suggested that I had deliberately let him Escape but in truth I didn't really do anything special to help or hinder him while he was here everything he did from finding helpers to leaving this place he did on his own of course it's inevitable that the Nave would make make a big deal out of her fellow harbingers unexplained disappearance I'm also quite curious about where that Harbinger went so I figured I might as well let the fouille do their own investigative work all I care about is the answer I'm telling you man it's got to be skirk so you are hoping Lenny's group would just do your work for you you make it sound like that's a bad thing unfortunately things didn't go as planned I assume that fem has told you already the ratio of primordial seawater around the Fortress of marip is on the rise the forbidden zone has always been Lenny's Target and you got roped into that investigation after running into him I began to intervene out of concern for your safety and also to prevent The Fortress from becoming entangled in more irksome matters wait a minute so was the forbidden zone contaminated by the sea water are the rumors true that you're also a former criminal now why would you put it like that isn't staying here all day and serving as the manager of the Fortress a kind of sentence unto itself another form of prison I just happen to have some support from the rest of the inmates that's all damn so you were just involuntarily elected oh right B I wanted to ask who invited clarent down here me of course I paid her good Mora to come down to the Fortress for some fieldwork man all I got from this was a bait cake as a champion dualist Miss claran could be considered to be an independent party I needed to find an exceptionally capable person to help me get through the appending crisis and saving F was part of that crisis you can think of it like that yes credit where credit is due that boy is quite Adept at diving had conditions not been as hostile as they were he probably would have found the missing Harbinger already so the forbidden zone really exists what's inside of it that's not something you should be asking after excuse me net only asked you to investigate child's whereabouts oh come on what if he's in there all I need to prove to you is that the forbidden zone had not nothing to do with The harbinger's Disappearance that should be clear now that you've spoken to F I'm not happy about this homie but we've already uncovered that there's something wrong with the infirmary and we've answered a bunch of questions that you threw at us isn't it about time that you answer our last question and return ooh logic I like this D look on you you make a compelling case do you really want to know the answer that badly yeah Pon really wants to know even if the truth may not be pleasant I mean the the truth really is so yes follow me finally some answers oh a hidden staircase there's a hidden door here and a whole basement behind it huh you're pretty good at hiding stuff Risley it seems you've forgotten just what kind of place The Fortress of mpede is stand on the central plate uh the cut scene kind of started to be here man wait is there a secret mechanism or whoo it's always an elevator once everyone has taken their positions on the circular plate it okay so this is the forbidden zone honestly for a place so well hidden Pon sure doesn't see anything special and that is what a huge door there are three such isolation gates in total generally speaking I'm the only one who's allowed to go inside hence the name forbidden zone oh you about to open that back door homie am I correct to assume you're going to run on back and tell your little foule friends everything nah we ain't even friends well I pman wasn't thinking of keeping anything from them oh come on could you just lie just once well I advise you wait until you've seen the whole truth of this place for yourself before deciding whether or not to tell them huh so there's a switch on the side stand back okay we got some gears moving three doors W they all just went up one by one what's that in the middle of the room go on have a look don't mind if I do this room is really empty with nothing in here which is quite strange at its own there's also a device smack dab in the middle of the room which looks like some kind of massive SLO gate I've been interested in what lies beyond that gate ever since I assumed leadership of the Fortress of meped of course it would be unwise to recklessly open open it but it' also be risky and negligent to Simply ignore any potential danger that could be behind it the readings on that dashboard have not budged since the day when I first laid eyes on this place but over the past year the needle has crept upwards from its original position likely because some parameter it's been tracking has changed if only infinitesimally oh it's got to be the seawater normally I would have ignored it but I happen to have some free time when I noticed it so I investigated and guesses what the reading could be tracking the water pressure very reasonable guesses I've considered both of those as well unfortunately our dashboard is tracking something less ordinary the temperature should vary with weather and climate changes so for something that rarely shifts the water pressure is more likely we ran a few tests to increase the pressure from the outside but the readings didn't change at all later on a few more possibilities occurred to me such as a potential connection with the primordial sea I began to make a few preparations based on that hypothesis over the past few days the needle has moved again with that and the symptoms that frem displayed after leaving the Fortress I can now confidently conclude that the readings represent the concentration of primordial seawater in the seawater nearby so what's like a countdown timer for the prophecy the concentration of primordial seawater but we're already under the sea that means we about to implode Boo Boo and that is precisely the problem we're at the bottom of the sea and now we're surrounded by toxic seawater somehow primordial sea water got mixed in and the concentration is steadily Rising primordial sea water is continuously leaking into the sea yes that's very likely but forget about the two of us not even novet knows where the primordial sea could be much less where we could find a plug a oh oh what are we owing for seems like you've figured it out I don't I believe the primordial sea lies directly beneath this slle gate for some reason the primordial seawater levels have risen significantly and it's now very close to us wait a minute doesn't that mean we're in danger here didn't we Evacuate the prison the indicators are now red although the gate still stands some primordial seawat has already leaked out and mixed into the sea around us if this continues soon it will no longer be able to hold back the primordial sea at all and if the primordial sea is licking through if this gate Falls all of Fon and it will fall with it oh Jesus bro this is the most demonic bath water I've ever seen yeah you know what the Legends say if this place Falls then everyone in Fontaine will be turned into puddles in the span of a night well except me I'm kind of an immigrant but that's just too weird why would the Fortress of meped be built right above a SLO gate for the primordial sea who built this place anyway hey your expression tells me you think this might be part of a vast complicated conspiracy to be honest you might find the actual answer may be exceedingly boring it's just that the secret of the forbidden zone had been long forgotten by the nation before I rediscovered it with my research there's no single founder of the Fortress of meped in any traditional sense what we know about its history has been left us by the people who used to live here when the previous Hydro archon aeria Ruled the Land all convicted crial from Fontaine were exiled the people drove the criminals away like a Wolfpack chasing away the banished egeria I've never heard that name the criminals received no sympathy of any kind from the people they were exiled to the desolate Seaside where they experienced only pain struggle and the bone chilling cold some of them began to repent and prayed to the hydro archon asking if there was still anything they could do the hydro archon took pity on them and said you may go guard my secret deep underneath the waves and so leaning on the power of the hydro archon they gathered underneath the sea and began to build a fortress they became a community down there in the deeps and over the years helped it to grow as the number of Exiles increased more and more people joined the community when the first group of Exiles died they left the yet unfinished Fortress to their successors but they didn't tell them what the Fortress was for the hydro archon continued to lend her support allowing The Fortress and what it stood for to continue growing ever larger before long this dark underwater Fortress became the sinner's only home and with that the people here stopped referring to the Fortress as a prison they saw themselves as repenting Sinners who would regain their freedom once they had sufficiently redeemed themselves But as time went on people also realized that the Fortress was a lonely Place once they had gotten used to life here they could no longer feel comfortable living in the Overworld once they had finished serving their sentences some people left and some others chose to stay they'd find some idle position and let their withered Souls fade away with the ancient secrets of the Past after many many centuries few people still remember the reason for the Fortress Is founding now they just see it as an integral pillar of fonan society as the place where criminals deserve to be sent shouldn't we tell people about this then I mean at least forena and mie right now and again researchers managed to break one law or another and live out their days in the Fortress I learned all this from an elderly historian everyone else just thought he'd made it all up but now you know every part of that history is true indeed it's just as the prophecy says if this gate fails then everyone will be dissolved into the sea do you believe in the prophecies to be frank not really but sadly that hasn't stopped this Prophecy from proving all too accurate prophecies are Troublesome things just hearing one will create the first wave of panic seeing signs of it will bring about the second and actually witnessing it in real time the third so as the Duke of mered just what do you plan to do about it let's go somewhere else I want to show you something that doesn't answer my question this is it oh the two people that were killing each other Your Grace perfect timing the result from our last round of experiments have wait Jor he's not alone huh line and juor no need to panic you two I've already told them about our plan what after you warned us not to tell a single soul about any of this I'm skeptical as well are you sure they are trustworthy the results speak for themselves don't they these two may already know more than you could ever imagine all right then if you're your grace and sis I don't like them not either of them they seem harmless enough so I'll trust them for now how about some reintroductions this is Jor one of the highest ranked researchers from the Fontaine Research Institute he used to work under Edwin I trust that you've heard of Edwin uh Ed who he's the one who blew the whole Institute Sky High everyone knew he was a bit crooked in the head but you're not a local so I guess it's possible for you not to have heard of him Edwin main areas of research were archium and gravimeters as his assistant Jer is quite familiar with them as well I hired him to be my technical consultant you you want to blow up the Fortress of mared wouldn't that destroy the seal in the process what a lovely idea I'm already imagining it in my head what the hell would that say it's pretty dark homie you got some bombs in here man got to admit I'm tempted as well Jesus I can see what prison does to a person guys focus focus that Taskmaster over there is Miss lorine and is also one of my technical consultants while jerrier used to be Edwin's assistant she used to be jer's assistant oo are they together was that really necessary see everyone keeps asking this question are you too sure you're not a couple and just using your work as a convenient cover no I your grace I am not in a relation ship with this man damn if I dated her I'd officially be madder than Edwin ah yes the sound of Love jeez forget I said anything then follow me whoa there's another door that goes right up your constant amazement makes it seem like the Fortress can do anything you get used to it after 3 years but Pon really thinks everything's super cool is this just the normal room let's spice it up a bit and here you go what the hell a machine City this is what a huge ship Oh I thought it was a whole town this is also a production Zone that pont's never seen before what's going on how much do you know about Fontan history literally nothing I not much it all well then maybe you haven't heard the story of ancient lamura to give you a quick rundown Fontaine used to be ruled by the luran dynasty oh an old Dynasty like monad except with all the slavery according to Legend the luran king Reus came to this land after being inspired by divine revelation and found the Seer saila who had taken on the form of a golden be taking the Golden Bee with him and riding on a huge ship the Fortuna he created his Nation above the surging waves he called his nation lamura and used the Fortuna to incessantly search for new tribes and Islands calling on them to join his Empire there's a ship in the story too where there's water there'll be ships people believe that hope can always be found at the end of a voyage do you believe that too to a point I think as you've already seen I have a whole Factor's worth of labor materials and technology at my disposal certainly can't hurt to give it a try wait am I going to be able to drive this finally I can challenge B so the moment I began to speculate that the primordial sea might lie underneath the gate I also began this project were you inspired by the legendary Fortuna maybe fontans need something to hold on to to cope with the impending disaster this is a plan for the ages can't you share your plan with everyone we're the workers to find out the truth behind this ship riots would destroy the Fortress faster than any catastrophe as the fortress's administrator I'd never make such a reckless call all right that's enough talking for now I'll need another three cups of tea to soothe my throat do you have any other questions is that how tea actually works I always just spit it out cuz I hate the taste seems like you're good come on I'll take you back okay I didn't even get an option I'll leave you here for now oh uh thank you so much no worries but don't forget it's up to you whether or not you want to share what you just saw what you do from here on out will likely affect those three as well he means that my actions will decide the next steps lon's group takes in other words if I want to tell lony the truth I must make him understand that we cannot afford excessive conflict right now yeah we'll put a lot of thought into it for sure yeah we will we going straight to papino great I look forward to what happens next we're all going to die we're back welcome back do you want a cup of tea I swear to God if one more Ninja asked me for some tea I swear how can you be so much like Risley always drinking tea huh actually now that you mention it I just remembered something now while I was dat I could still barely hear two people talking next to me they were discussing everything from the leaves to the water and even the teacups themselves must have been Risley and seen yeah I heard one male voice and one female so it should have been the two of them they really were just talking about brewing tea I'm going to have to ask that we continue from this topic I really can't make sense of this place so traveler Pimon were you able to learn anything from Risley yeah he explained everything very well then would you mind checking your answers against my speculations lony sounds a lot more like his old s yeah I took the time to rest so I'm feeling a lot more relaxed now nobody else is around and missen is also busy with something or other so let's just talk here all right then I'll posit my theories I asked myself three questions firstly why was fremin affected by the prim primordial seawater it was because he dove into the sea my theory is the long lost primordial sea is probably very close to the Fortress of meped oo he's good he got that right on the first try that's our Linny secondly risley's attitude changed dramatically during the course of our stay here he ignored us completely at first then suddenly roadblocked us why I spent quite a long time time thinking about this if he has been monitoring the fouille since the very beginning he probably ignored us at first because he was hoping we could find master child for him how the hell is he just figuring all this out do we even have to tell him anything what's more The Fortress of marpit is not part of fontaine's court system nor does it report to udex nervet Risley is basically the king of a No Man's Land as long as the Fortress doesn't do anything about master child's disappearance father can use it to pressure the fontine authorities and while the two factions are pitted against each other Risley will be free to move between the parties of interest if I had to guess he probably has something that he's working on himself it's likely related to The Secret of the infirmary but I just can't think of what it could be L's grasp of the big picture is amazing why are we speaking in third person what huh you're super smart thanks so much then finally there's the last question if Risley does have a plan what could it be all I know for now is that his plan probably has something to do with the changing nature of the seawater he's even gotten choran to help him out ah that can't be the full extent of what he's doing there's probably a secret passageway behind the Block in the infirmary and there's something big in the Fortress that most people here never get to see he has a bargaining chip and it could be important enough her father to deal with him directly I don't have enough information so I have no idea what his chip might be but let me guess you have the last piece of the puzzle after some deliberation you Shar the information you just learned what while sharing what you saw you emphasized that now is at the time for dis I can't believe it you took the words right out of my mouth man I'm tilted let see will engulf everyone just like the prophecy said could Risley have wanted to meet father to figure out a way to deal with this crisis if you remember I once mentioned that father sees the house of the Hearth as her base of operations and she truly wants to resolve the crisis but how could Risley have known that or perhaps he didn't know and just wanted to bring father over to his side which could be why he said he just wanted to negotiate yes negotiate with a lot of TR equalizer yeah that makes sense to me I understand your concerns as well traveler I'll figure out a way to pass this on to our father no matter what we're on your side the two of you have already aided us far too much we probably wouldn't be standing here right now if not for you so is papino playable yes if you ever need anything else going forward please come to the house of the Hearth at any time oh where is the where is the where is that I want to go tell me give me the location yes yes yes though you may not sh share the sentiment after all that we've gone through together the three of us basically see you as family now you know what I'm good let's just start with friends homie you have my gratitude thank you for protecting Lenny when it really mattered and thank you for sharing the secrets of the Fortress with us we didn't think you were going to do it oh come on does no one have faith in me anymore uh why are you being so formal all of a sudden don't mention it we can work together a get if necessary ah yes friendship we're de veloping given your strength you might not need our help at all but if you are ever in danger we will try our best to protect you even if Kino tries to kill me what you going to do then a the sound of that makes Pon feel all warm and safe inside what was that I mean I'm kind of hungry myself actually P P's hungry me too let's get some Chipotle oh uh you've done so much already go get some food I like the way you think F me all right then we'll catch you guys another time chicken burrito here we come it's time for dinner welfare meals now being served at the coupon cafeteria what the hell what did this when did we get this come on let's go pick up ours as well D we're not going to talk about the AI broadcaster traveler and Pyon over here you bet are you here for dinner too Miss seen mhm and I'm taking the opportunity to prepare Miss Clan's dinner as well well I'm going to that table she got the big pot huh you're right she's actually sitting in the Fortress cafeteria yes it's odd to see the French behaving what would you like to eat huh we can choose yep you can I've already talked to our Chef Mr Wallie it's all on me today so you can get whatever you'd like then I'll have the tastiest stuff you have to offer me too don't forget Pon no problem just leave it to me I love you sigy after a while the meal Siggy ordered for you arrive unlike days prior sigy also bring some drinks over to you they taste a little straight okay the shakes genuinely tastes pretty terrible so delicious I I don't know what it even is free dins are the absolute best I mean they kind of are is this how it feels to be freeloaders wait a second we did do plenty of work after all earned this Chipotle feeling full yet how's the food delicious besides the milk I mean everything was super delicious a I'm so glad to see you all so happy oh see the expression on your face just now but the muscle here just moved would suggests that you're feeling quite relaxed at the moment uh kind of creepy that you can detect face muscles but thank you Siggy seen do you do this to help your patients or to better understand human beings a bit of both I suppose I'm a mine which means I'm very different from human beings I must know what you're thinking if I want to take good care of you you're really good at taking care of people even though you're so short you still talk and act like an older sister really you're reminded of an older sister that's great to hear yes how about we just adopt Siggy into our family and forget ether exist I like this plan oh and what did you mean back in risley's office when you said that you were protecting Linny and his siblings as well oh that I just asked his grace to look out for those children especially that diver boy I was getting a bit worried after hearing that something was wrong with the water thankfully Garand is very strong and managed to save him in the nick of time his grace also sealed the pipes after Clan left to make sure that Lenny wouldn't impulsively chase after his brother are we really just going to leave her in the background although the path was blocked we still stationed some guards there to stop anyone from approaching they were instructed to only open the door once Miss cland had returned oh and I was keeping an eye on Mr Linny as well we had to press him but we couldn't allow him to be in any real danger you were all super considerate and really thought everything through it's just what we do down here at the Fortress at least this has been his Grace's style for as long as he's been the leader oh I really wish M nerva would come down here more often too I feel like he'd like it here with all the darkness and Chaos what the I mean he is a dragon he probably causing the chaos but that doesn't make sense at all it's hard to imagine new outside of his office get a good night's rest you two You' both worked very hard are we really not going to talk to chlorine at all Claren ah it's you two how's dinner it's all right Miss sewin really put in a lot of effort so we heard that bryley invited you to come down to help and you saved Forin too you sure work super fast yes it's good to see competence from the characters oh it was Child's Play oh because he was there to find still Pima didn't know even Champion duel could take on side jobs oh and why aren't you eating with seen and the Duke won't you get bored eating by yourself Miss siin was with you and the Duke has business of his own why didn't you come sit with me actually didn't Navia say that you went out for dinner with her as well yeah first time in a long time first time in a long time so you mean you've gone out to dinner with her in the past in the past yes you seem to be enjoying yourselves here oh so we just not going to stay on that subject okay this is Tech techically a work trip for us too things will be getting messy at The Fortress soon don't run around unnecessarily it's all going to hell so much has happened pmon just feels absolutely exhausted now that she's finally relaxed what do you mean you didn't even have to walk through any of it I'm UNS super sleepy are you sleepy too I'm tired boss how could how could you possibly deep sleep that quickly wow she really immediately fell asleep delicious P want seconds for free damn Pon your gluttony exceeds Consciousness good night out of my way get out of my my way oh no what happened why is everyone running it's over no idea but something must have happened stop asking who's yelling Pon still wants to sleep the end times are upon us H what's that sound time might to wake up we need to go out and see what's going on what what happened why is everyone running around uh hey what are you doing no time to explain mate goodbye what are we running from hey wait what's wrong with these people they won't even talk to us they're here there you are what you want big boy oh thank goodness qu still in laon do you know what happened here we came here especially to inform you something seems to have gone terribly wrong just now his grace is telling everyone to evacuate and get out of here oh no did somebody break the seal laon was saying you two are new here and you don't have many friends so you might slip through the cracks haven't you heard all the stories like that an evacuation is successfully completed yet you only find out once you do a head count that one or two people are missing wait weren't you the one who brought that up why is it suddenly my idea Gentlemen please stay on Focus hey shut up okay whatever the point is you should come with us you said his grace said to evacuate outwards yeah he said to get as far away as possible upwards and outwards then that means whatever happened must have happened down below oh no isn't that gate at the very bottom oh no it can't be that thing who wait what what hey where you going goodbye forever we have to go find the Duke you two just go and get out go on without us hey hey be careful fline they're here the gate just like I said what happened the gate's going up you're just in time to what be ready to run we came here just to run oh man has the doomfist what the water's coming out yo run you could to die bro he froze [Music] it damn homie oh that didn't do nothing I think it's over 2 1 ooh slide slide don't down oh hell this won't hold it for long find net tell him the defenses are about to collapse then what will happen to you until he arrives we're the last line of defense no the gate how long do you think it'll hold that depends on us damn no net why are you here did you already feel it traveler I need you to head to the opera house immediately Ohio this ain't no time for no plays finina will soon be meeting with the Nave there you must protect finina and make sure she doesn't spend too much time alone with her okay you can explain everything else to me later What's Happening Here will'll do you have my sincerest gratitude look there are a ton of fatian P meronia people over there the Nave is probably here already we need to hurry let's go let's go are you two the traveler in Pon mure nervet has left instructions please follow me though I'm sure he's already explained this should be a mostly cordial conversation unlikely to give rise to violence but it would be most appreciated if you could protect lady finina to the best of your abilities I will do my best to protect her oh man oh man let me in open that door a little one a oh so you two are the honored guests Miss finina mentioned hello Daddy of course of course how could they not attend a meeting such as this I must always have two or more guests at my dessert table otherwise the occasion would be too lonely and Unbecoming of my station oh the coping is real it is my pleasure to make your acquaintance traveler I have heard much of your accomplishments I am the Nave one of the 11 fatou harbingers ah yes I'm sure you appreciate me clapping the hell out of your colleagues so this is the Nave the head of the House of the heart and the liny siblings father she certainly does seem does not seem easy to deal with greetings a pleasure to meet you too I've already prepared seats for you come sit beside me perhaps you two are unaware of how Miss finina and I do things you see we actually recently agreed to get together for tea when we had the time see this this is a limited type of confectionary that Miss finina simply adors there are only 16 slices sold every day here why don't you and Pon have a taste don't mind if I do thank you she seems friendly enough but that can't be all there is to her the Nave is a force to be reckoned with I should be very cautious around her nah we beab traveler what do you think of this cake it's quite tasty and I think Pon agrees too that's good to hear so what child said was on the mark after all you do share a taste and desserts with finina and I wait CH should have no reason to have said something like that I wonder how he he's doing nowadays you must have heard right he's suddenly gone missing I'm really worried about his safety you know here's to hoping that he's an excellent swimmer I have faith in his abilities uh since we are talking about him I feel like I should add something his Marshall prowess really looked certainly pretty impressive yeah Arena looks quite nervous there must be some kind of bad blood between her and the Nave oh so you are also familiar with his aptitude for fighting Miss finina oh right I almost forgot child was subdued by udex nuet right in front of you against Ordinary People my colleague would never be on the back foot but alas he just never imagined he'd run into such a person I must express my admiration for Monsour net I managed to find a few leades on his whereabouts H coming from you that's not surprising at all oh stop uh but I thought you would be happier to hear the news of course but it's still a bit of a shame you see I would have been far happier had I received this news somewhat earlier as you will know a long time has passed since child disappeared damn uh well in any case there's no need to worry we know for sure that child is still alive oh and just how do you know that man that man is like a cockroach he ain't going to die because uh because we found evidence that proved he left the Fortress of mpede and where did he go after leaving the Fortress well nice Pon oh no Pon statement just left us wide open The Fortress of meped Lies deep beneath the waves unless he pranced right out of the main gate he must have had to swim for it do you have any proof that he surfaced safely we do not God dang it parmon but there's also no evidence that he's been injured or killed that is good news at least his sister Tonia sent a letter to Fontaine not too long ago since he was unfortunately unavailable I picked it up on his behalf do you have any any idea how he usually writes back to his family dear Tonia your letter made me feel like we were still enjoying our time in snia together I'm currently admiring the scenery on the streets in front of the Opera House is it something like that bro Kino is the real control devil she's turning up the pressure I'm not sure if I'll be able to convince her but I can at least try to distract her from finina that sounds good to me yes all letters tend to to follow the same few formats anyway right as long as the contents are accurate it doesn't matter so much how it's written or how it's worded uh huh what's going on hold on the water in the teacup is shaking oh no it's an earthquake I suppose this is also a sign of things to come Miss finina huh uh I don't quite understand what you're trying to say the prophecy woman have we entered into the next stage of the prophecy oh so many cutcenes my thanks to you both I will take it from here doy what you got what you what you going to do man sure you don't need a hand quite sure wow yeah so what's your secret huh let me guess nah who knows maybe it's just your sense of responsibility sounds about right what we going to see it no or he's holding it back from one [Music] arm yo a day may come when the prophecy is fulfilled and the waters burst forth but it is not this day this ancient power could easy easily obliterate an entire race the tsunami of Fury would unleash endless catastrophe [Music] new he just sealed the whole thing with one hand this sentence is too severe forgive me for overruling it what what sentence no keep talking answers use your mouth friend no no black screen go back to the light all right seems like the problem inside has been suppressed let me guess we're safe for now indeed but only for now I win this bet you owe me a present wait a minute you B on nvie dying what the hell very well it was indeed just as you said you made a bet we made a bet on the size of your entourage cloran thought you wouldn't come down by yourself I figured you would have at least brought a few people along for appearance's sake it appears I underestimated just how confidential the mission was shouldn't you have gotten used to confidential missions by now that's just how the courts operate so what gift must the loser give t he already has tons of tea in his office I'm thinking about a set of legal codices what the hell is a codus that wouldn't happen to be a dig at my lack of legal awareness would it well I'm sure his grace doesn't consider the Fortress to be outside the law I was under the impression the residents of a place like this would be uninterested in the legal codes this conversation is above my IQ level that was obviously a joke anyway you've still got some unfinished business to attend to in the Overworld correct no need to stay here if you have a pressing matter we all know you can't leave P mormonia for long thank you what's over there that he can't be away from I hope everything went smoothly with the foule harbinger back to me and Papa I must say we've spent long enough Playing House Miss fena as the hydro archon I am sure you understand the exact meaning of the phenomenon we just witnessed or should I say that's what I originally thought but looking at your expression was I wrong and you haven't a clue my God she is pressing the hell out of her what are you trying to say at this point I don't think there's any more need to speak as diplomat atic Representatives allow me to speak to you now as just a fanian you know the prophecy by heart and also that every part of it is being proven true yet here you are relaxing drinking tea and eating desserts as if it's all nothing more than a few stray bugs in your garden do you really think that's acceptable she's kind of cooking here farita the prophecy's hanging above our necks like a guillotine every faction is looking for a way to either avert the disaster or save their own even the Orphans of the House of the Hearth have devoted everything to saving their Homeland but you it Beggars believe just how nonchalant and carefree you have been from the very beginning you the God falor you have utterly failed to take action you're wrong I've never ignored the prophecy nor have I I just been passing the time in self-indulgence retract your accusation and stop doubting the wisdom of the Gods with such absurd conjectures I am not alone in my doubts you know all the children of Fontaine may be harboring the exact same thoughts right now oh great Hydro archon how are you going to save them save us how are the people you've sworn to protect supposed to survive in a land that will soon disappear beneath the waves I have my ways and I've been working on them for all this time even if you look down upon me you have no right to judge me Fontaine will be saved even even if I still cannot see the true future right now as long as I continue on as I am I will be a able to hold my head up high I don't think that's enough finen finen is not acting like her usual self she's actually seriously refuting the nave's accusations she means what she says she's not putting up a front then I ask you miss finina just what have you been working on where can we see it and what is it doing to help i o so that was all a lie or can she really not tell us she was so full of conviction and confidence just now but now she's deflated like a pot balloon my minations are just like the prophecy itself they will only reveal themselves at the fated time it is just that beings like yourselves are unable to perceive them as of yet I see as a God the proof of your labor always lies Beyond prying mortal eyes oh man allow me to be so bold as to ask another one way would it be possible for you to tell us the parts of your plan that are not confidential such as your emergency response plan for the impending disaster uh an emergency response plan it is so over oh that look in your eyes have you not even prepared one of those the the emergency response plan is also strictly confidential then allow me to jog your memory Miss finina what is the purpose of your orrice mechanique Deniz Cardinal and what do you plan to do with the massive amounts of indem nium that has accumulated over the years the orrice it it's just like it appears to be H so you also have no idea if I'm not mistaken someone's using it to prepare for something but unfortunately it would see seem that someone is not you miss finina wait what I first caught wind of this when Linny tried to investigate the orrice in the Opera House you see even just getting close to the core contaminated him with an extremely large amount of indem nidum but even if that had nothing to do with you then what could you possibly be working on oh great Hydro Aron oh right I almost forgot udex net is not at the tea party with us today miss finina I suppose you must have ordered him away to take care of some Troublesome business uh yeah yes that's exactly right please keep it a secret for me of course I will although I must say miss finina you seem quite insecure without the udex by your side I'm just a complete third wheel at this point oh very well let's stop that conversation here there are still a few slices of cake left so please help yourselves everyone I don't trust the cake anymore this thing green there aren't topics I can speak about I don't even know what Net's task was if I had to guess he probably went down to deal with the surging primordial sea but can he really deal with it all by himself oh yes he can duie has got the sauce and is farina being truthful or not uh I think she big capping traveler I heard that you were recently commissioned to handle a few matters on behalf of the udex why don't you take an extra slice of cake those who work hard deserve gratitude and praise wait why is she so fixated on this cake is the cake lace in some kind of truth serum you too Pon uh I don't think she need the cake oh don't do it don't do it uh thank you P will take you up on that offer don't eat the cake don't do it the day proceeds to change the topic it brings up a number of less significant matter oh we ate the whole cake and the tea p on super full that cake was great there's no way we come out of this on top mm if it's on my tea table it must be of the highest quality yes and we must thank the na for bringing these over as well we are complete failures you're welcome I'm sure the cake also felt greatly honored to be featured at Miss verina's table and I was merely catering to miss fina's tastes seeking a chance to chat over te just chat you just got done putting your foot on her neck it is getting late why don't we call it a day there are still a few matters that I need to take care of so I must take my leave now very well we'll end it here mind seeing me off traveler we could use the opportunity to discuss child before I must be on my way yes of course Papa P's coming too where else would you go I'm glad that you were willing to come with me of course child was just an excuse I have no interest in your dealings with him well we just getting straight to business ain't we okay that's what Pon thought what do you want to say you lent your Aid to the children of the House of the Hearth as their father I would like to express my gratitude there's no need I didn't think that's what you wanted to talk about do I look like an irresponsible father to you the house of the Hearth is very important to me you should know that I care deeply about my children was there nothing else you wanted to say yeah speak your mind Papa that was all formal topics should be discussed in formal settings and informal topics in informal settings there is no way in hell that was it I know you just returned from The Fortress of meped relax I have no intention of trying to get anything out of you Lenny Lynette and fremin are still there and I trust their judgment and abilities they've all been working very hard and have always done all they can to fight back against anyone who tried to stop them especially Lenny you mean rley he's a tricky one to deal with it's unfortunate that Lenny is so eager to prove himself that he can't learn to rely on others including me what do you mean I mean he made a whole deal with me to get info by the way and you can just consider this a bit of idle gossip but what's your impression of finina you are outside of our disputes and the freest person in Alla Fontaine able to move around most easily allow me to share my perspective with you and that's everything that happened during the trial Master child was declared guilty and immediately transported to the Fortress of meped didn't he say he was coming here on vacation does he not feel an ounce of Shame for all the trouble he has caused I I nope forget it he did give us an opportunity I will be meeting someone shortly do you require help with any preparations no need I will take care of it myself I need to meet with finina the hydro Aron she is at the heart of Fontaine but what's fascinating about her is that she often seems more like a celebrity than a working archon oh come over here you Little Critter you wait what Kino Kino got assassin drip hey you dare to run from me stop right this instant my goal is just to dis discover the location of the nosis but I didn't expect the chance to approach finina to be handed to me on a silver platter this is so easy it's actually making me a bit suspicious wait a minute those weren't gloves your arms are just black yo who is this daddy anything left unguarded is usually just bait but no one will blame someone for taking the bait after all from the moment it was attached to the hook the bait is meant to be sacrificed wait the cat the cat the kitty yo daddy yo yo leave the cat alone daddy it's just as I guessed in the second before I struck the hydrosis is not currently held by the archon in fact this archon doesn't seem like a god at all and I sense that she's under some kind of curse who are you and and what are you are you trying to do please don't kill me I'm begging you please the fear in her pupils is genuine so perhaps she's not bait after all either way targeting her has lost all meaning I left the scene with ease nobody came looking for me and nobody could serve as a witness to my near assassination of falor I suspect even finina dares not mention this incident to anyone wait do she know that it was Kino not long after my informants confirmed what I had guessed after returning to her quarters finina quietly cried alone she was so scared that she could not sleep that night nor could she even bring herself to eat her cake there's no doubt that there's something wrong with her I began to entertain the possibility that she is not the true Hydro archon perhaps udex nette is actually the the genuine article well that did actually make a lot of sense I have to find the nosis if the net hypothesis is correct he is probably in possession of it alternatively it might have been hidden in a place that's hard for ordinary people to access oh in his office that's why he doesn't want to leave yes Father my dear children please speak news from The Fortress of meped master master child has G missing on top of that the contacts and guards we bried at The Fortress have all gone quiet as well probably the handiwork of that rid Le I'm afraid so this is a good opportunity the value of a Harbinger is much higher than most would imagine we now have an excuse to exert diplomatic pressure on the Fontaine authorities set up a meeting for me I would like to meet the hydro archon and udex net oh and I have an additional mission for you three yes Father tartaglia's disappearance was not a part of my plan but I can use it to make a breakthrough with this as my excuse I can ask for an official audience and continue my investigation of finina and udex nuet the initiative belongs to the house of the Hearth my wish to investigate the Fortress of mpede will be a front Lenny and his group will be respons responsible for the actual intelligence gathering oh my god dude ninjas it better not be three years before she's playable you should know the rest Lenny's group is quite close to you so they wouldn't have hidden anything from you yo can I go with you like do you have any job positions available you attacked the hydro archan it wouldn't mean anything even if you shouted it from the rooftops after all even and finina herself is still pretending that nothing of that sort ever happened uh all right then I've now had two chances to enjoy tea with finina I have to say the leadership of Fontaine is even more inscrutable than I had imagined I once surmised that udex net must be the hydro archon but now that doesn't seem right to me either how did you come to that conclusion Papa I am a servant of her majesty the nitaa over my years of service I've learned how a real archon conducts and Carries themselves whether udex net or finina neither fits the bill it's hard to imagine either of them as the archon well I mean archons do kind of seem a little different at each Nation I mean vent is basically an absentee father of course that is all just how I feel gut feelings often do not require justification it is however quite amusing to me that after all my years working in intelligence gathering I've come to realize I am at a complete loss regarding the identity of the god of the land of my birth don't you think Fontaine is quite intriguing a catastrophe looms yet many Secrets have yet to rise to the surface it looks like fontans will have no choice but to save themselves ultimately though one must survive in order to do anything else should the need arise I would be happy to cooperate with you you don't need to commit to anything right now of course I have a feeling that the situation will continue to evolve and as your name is often connected with Noble Deeds I'm sure we will work together someday oh let's work together right now I mean what's up new nothing no conspiring going on here he certainly returned quickly you must want to catch up with each other so I'll leave you to him no you can stay we're all friends [Music] here just a simple head nod nette is it over for now yes but this issue will prove quite thorny in the long term I'm concerned that sooner or later the prophesized events will occur thank you for protecting finina may we ask what happened down there to put it simply I used my power to force back the primordial Sea and reeal the slle gate as for what happened on our side you've recount the happenings of the Tea Party to Nui H so as expected the Nave has turned up the pressure on finina she's trying to feel her out though I'm still unsure as to her motives can I ask you some questions permission granted you have enough power to force back the primordial sea does this mean you have some deeper connection with the hydro archon wa it can't be that you're the real Hydro archine right but that's just a speculation on our part though you can't tell us then then that's okay we can talk about something else we won't try to force you you guys and Fontaine are super strange yes the French are some mysterious characters if by the phrase you guys you are referring to finina and I then although I'm not sure just what you are trying to imply I must clarify that I do not share her positions on a multitude of topics J was that necessary to just throw under the bus like that what did you sense in the Fortress of mpede I believe so the Fortress has a long and complex history it has seen much grief and suffering and now another catastrophe will soon be upon us I mourn this turn of events oh with it's raining no don't cry huh why is it raining all of a sudden clear sky suddenly filled with dark clouds the rain became heavier light rain soon grow into a downpour no give him a hug GL me and just moments before net has just mentioned his sense of grief thinking back to that Legend in what F said it said that a dragon of water once resided in Fontaine every time it weeped the skies will Cloud up and pour out rain wait new you can't be you may be closer to the truth than you think I mean look at those eyes those are definitely Dragon Eyes oh and what are you thinking he's the moist lizard himself the dragon of what huh please do not be so surprised finina H what's happening are you listening my apologies we were just guessing randomly we didn't guess right did we you're not actually the dragon Sovereign of water right well if you don't want to confirm or deny you guessed correctly I sincerely hope you'll be able to keep this a secret for me uh right of course we'll definitely help you keep it a secret pmod you have continuously demonstrated that you are not capable of doing this there's still something Pon wants to ask you though please go ahead well if you are the dragon Sovereign of water and you are able to force back the primordial Sea from The Fortress then since fontaine's prophecy is all about seawater couldn't you just use your power to solve the crisis none of the currently living dragon sovereigns in the world myself included possess our full Dragon Hood what you B neutered Hobie they say that when the first usurper arrived on tat They seized a part of the dragon's power today that stolen power is the basis of the archon's authorities wait a minute so the nosis is stolen Dragon power there are seven Elemental archons and seven matching Dragon sovereigns the dragon Sovereign of water who lived through that era perished a long time ago as their successor I know far less of that part of our ancient history in any case I believe I will not be able to do much unless the archon disappears and returns their Elemental Authority to me given the status quo however I would recommend finding another way to deal with the prophecy oh so even you can't solve it I still have some urgent matters to attend to at my office if you have have any more questions regarding ancient history you are welcome to discuss them with me at a later time ah please go right ahead there's a place that Pon wants to go to what traveler why don't we pay another visit to the Fortress of mpede Pon is a little worried I mean I I I kind of wanted to stay here with duie but okay see you later friend we'll see you another time take care dude how much you want to bet the Kino heard this whole thing no now guess what suit will this next card be this ain't no time for games uh a bare teeth cat well well look who it is traveler Pimon hello everyone looks like you're recovering nicely from a mhm thanks to everyone's support oh right I I managed to work up the the courage to thank Miss cland in person who how did she react uh she told me that it was nothing it was as if saving a life wasn't a big deal to her at all she also told me not to worry about it I mean she ain't a champion for nothing she didn't want to stress you out that's all she's right and it's best not to dwell on it yeah okay but check this out we went back to the opera house and we met the Nave you met father did she say anything to you she said a few things that were uh a bit hard to understand and also that she's looking forward to working with us in the future it was a little surprising but I think we can confirm she's playable her attitude towards you is even better than what we'd imagined that's fantastic you should believe her she has her own way of doing things and she'll do everything in her power to help those those she considers close which now might also include you mhm father is very capable and also trustworthy oh Pon just remembered that she thought Lenny was a bit too proud as well she said that you should learn how to rely on others sometimes uh got it huh that does sound like something that father would say hey are you going to stay here for the next few days looks like it yeah wait really why kind of feels like we should go talk to finina excellent I will host a tea party no no no no more tea talk please I can't do this for real then P wants another serving of cake another implies that you were already served some delicious cake while you were up there H how lovely well next time you're going to have tea and snacks with us no my spy family Jer Miss seen told me you still haven't eaten yeah I was working on something so I forgot that's no excuse for huh what's you two yes hello not married couple Jor line we're back hello there it's been quite the mess here recently how have you been everything been D Bo I got Daddy's praise and you are you still taking the secret passageway from the infirmary to work on the ship yep that is still top secret though so don't say a word to anyone it can be a bit annoying when there are lots of people in the infirmary but I still prefer taking that route over the one from the Duke's office I mean the infirmary does make it easier for you to slack off oh yeah then why are you also here so much you two really are just using your jobs as a cover for your relationship aren't you not at all oh you have got to be kidding me you you guys are bad quisto laoon you guys didn't get caught and thrown back down here right huh no not at all ah and here I thought you'd manag to escape from jail during all the commotion I'd held you up as legendary jailbreakers but now you're telling me you just never left we're sorry but we just had some business to take care of yes there's still the matter of our record label all right all right there's no need to get caught up in the details we're just relieved to see you he was super worried about you you know I barely even remember what his name is hey it wasn't just me weren't you super worried as well uh something like that yeah I was also transferred to work in the kitchen a few days ago I can still hear quisto mumbling to the carrots are those two all right do you think they made it out alive whenever he'd say that I'd tell him I'm sure they're fine wherever they are they're kicking back with drinks in hand enjoying the lovely scenery well I mean that's one way to put admiring Papa hey there's nothing wrong with woring about your prison Pals is there I mean considering how they always love listening to all my gossip these two they sure are a lot warmer and friendlier than when Pon first met them I'm sure the welfare meals must have just skyrocketed in quality recently a well if you say so I'll be watching you to make sure you finish every last bite that's kind of sus homie Z traveler Pon you're back Siggy are you still doing all right did either of you get hurt hey man I'm your ninja I got it I got this we're fine but what about you guys it was such a huge mess how bad was it a few people sustained superficial injuries but that's about the extent of the damage M nervet paid us a visit it was all thanks to him that we managed to suppress the crisis for for the time being of course we must also thank you for the help you provided how did nervet know that he was needed here miss sure nervet has strong resonance with the hydro element when the water level rises he can feel the waves produced I ran into the bombshell Bros while bandaging the injuries of the Wounded they were mumbling the whole time about how you just ran down without a word I'm so relieved to see that you're both all right if you're not too pressed for time please stay with us a few more days no okay Siggy I can't leave just let me know if you get a craving for any particular dish so I can have Mr waly get your meals prepared oh and please feel free to visit the infirmary for a break at any time wait a minute no more gacha meals I can just order food now I'd like to take the opportunity to spend some more time observing your facial muscles as well your happy smiles are quite contagious you know they're so memorable and I've missed them immensely while you were gone Siggy you're cute but sometimes you really concern me do my eyes deceive me or did I just see two inmates come back after making it to the surface some strange winds blowing of late yes I am the most behaved prisoner in France we wanted to see how the Fortress is doing is everything still all right we're fine for the most part net came down and took care of the worst of it if that's the case why don't you just ask him to stay here oh yeah what a brilliant plan let's go convince the udex himself to exchange the quartz of Fontaine for a puddle of water in the middle of nowhere yeah there ain't no way in hell he's going to go for that he came here in a hurry and left without even stopping for a cup of tea he did remember to take Miss sween's gift with him though he sure sounds super busy Miss cloran has left as well she also took her gift from missen where the gifts milkshakes nerville got the milkshake curand received lipstick instead what okay those aren't even remotely alike well it's nervil let's own fault for making siwe worried about his health by working so much but besides that our head nurse is still pretty fond of picking out beauty products for the ladies oh and I have some gifts here for you as well but I give what I get are these from Seine too nope they're from yours truly you've already wrapped up your work at The Fortress so you can return to the surface at any time you haven't yet served your full prison term however so you may continue

back in our cell again we're no longer prisoners though so it really doesn't feel the same it feels like we've regained our freedom mhm being free sure feels pretty special now f m is there something
