Story/Chapter 46: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Aegirp Soul2}} '''White-Ghost King's Soul:''' ''The abundant resources brought from trade with Northern Empire instigated many changes in our own land.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Gah! Oh, it's the soul we saw earlier.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Its form is more distinct than earlier. It looks more like... a person. Is she a Nous?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel2}} '''Ciel:''' ''It must be the spell that protects the soul fragment. It should guide us to where the soul fragment is located, just like before.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aegirp Soul2}} '''White-Ghost King's Soul:''' ''This is what I wanted. The fear of the unknown, and hatred that stems from prejudice, all receding as we come to understand one another... If we can ally ourselves with enemies from another world, there was no reason that the two races, different yet similar, cannot come together in complete harmony.... Then the day might come, when I finally reveal that I am of mixed heritage.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''The White-Ghost King is mixed-blood?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby2}} '''Laby:''' ''She's mixed-blood?! ... What is mixed-blood?''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''If you don't know, why are you acting so surprised...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Rose2}} '''Rose:''' ''Taboo? That bad?''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''The two races really hated each other back then. It's wrong, but I heard mixed-bloods were considered inferior, and were scorned by both races. Because of the perception, now, they're treated as if they don't even exist.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain4}} '''Ain:''' ''She must have presented herself as a Garen, hiding her true form.''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''... Though, I think her most trusted followers knew that she was mixed-blood. I got the impression that Calonne knew why Berthe betrayed the White-Ghost King, though he didn't say anything to us.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''If that's true, that's really tragic. For her heritage to work against her like that... even though she was one of the four Demon Lords...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel2}} '''Ciel:''' ''Oh. Were we following the White-Ghost King all this time?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby2}} '''Laby:''' ''Ooh! Laby knows! A spell that protects the soul fragment!''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''That's what I thought, too.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''....''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby2}} '''Laby:''' ''Nichel? Why did you stop moving? Whatcha thinking?''

*''Ring''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''We've finished retrieving the soul fragment. Here, your highness.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''We already have two soul fragments in our hands. Haha, I bet Berthe didn't expect that coming.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Since this is the last location we got from Calonne, we'll need to find the rest relying on Aurora's intelligence. I hope we can find them before Berthe.''

*{{StoryIcon|Baryon}} '''Baryon:''' ''...... Hey, you.''

*{{StoryIcon|Baryon}} '''Baryon:''' ''Yeah, I'm talking 'bout you, runt. You act all hoity toity, I bet you're the leader. Am I right?''

*{{StoryIcon|Baryon}} '''Baryon:''' ''Ack...! Whatcha screamin' for! I just wanted to know what you're gonna do with us now.''

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''What we're going to do...? We're just making sure you don't contact Berthe.''

*{{StoryIcon|Asella}} '''Asella:''' ''Welcome, everyone. Good work.''

*{{StoryIcon|Asella}} '''Asella:''' ''Understood, your highness. I will deal with the soldiers and leave you alone.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''The central portal in the capital is probably linked to Northern Empire, right? Since they traded with Northern Empire when the White-Ghost King was alive? Should we warn them?''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''A third soul fragment... I thought it was weird he didn't personally show up. He must have been acquiring other soul fragments. I guess it's a good thing we didn't have to face him.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''We need to get the soul fragment that Berthe has in order to revive the White-Ghost King. We really have no choice but to face him now.''

*{{StoryIcon|Asella}} '''Asella:''' ''It's quite far. We can send our fastest to aid you, but it will still take at least two days.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''Plus, the closer we get to the capital, the harder it would be to advance, due to the White-Ghost Army that's stationed everywhere.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Is this the door to the next compartment? It's kind of stuck... Maybe it's rusted? Oof!''

*''CRACK! PSSHHHH''

*''CLANK, CLANK BEEEEEEEEP!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby2}} '''Laby:''' ''Whoa! The train is moving! We're leaving already?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Long time no see, everyone! But you really should have stayed in Elrios. Since, you know, you only managed to escape by a thread last time. Well, I guess you made my job much easier! I'm flattered! To think you'll collect the rest of the soul fragments for me!''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''We didn't do it for you!''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Ha! I should remind you, conflict of interest IS a thing. Did you ask for her opinion? You know, the actual opinion of the soul?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aegirp Soul2}} '''White-Ghost King's Soul:''' ''Ring''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh...! Lu! The soul fragments are slipping away!''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Aww... It's really not my fault! What can I say? This is the White-Ghost King's decision.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''The White-Ghost King's decision...?''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''You know you're stepping on my foot, right?''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''It's to keep you still, since you always run into trouble. Hold on, I'll use an illuminating spell.''

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''Most certainly. Since this looks like a terminal, it might be better for us to find another path that leads outside.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rose2}} '''Rose:''' ''Hm? I think there's someone around that corner. I saw a shift in the shadow.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''How did you get here? We heard you were held hostage by Berthe.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''I managed to find an opening and took my chance... How did you... Did you arrive here by train?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby2}} '''Laby:''' ''We heard we can come real quick if we get on a train, so we did!''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Communication...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ain4}} '''Ain:''' ''We should still be able to catch up to him. Do you know the way out?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Follow me. There's a path that leads straight to the capital.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''I overheard that the central portal repairs are at its final stage while I was imprisoned. The only thing they are waiting on, is probably the soul fragments. This is the last chance we have to stop him. If we can manage to neutralize the portal... Then we can at least prevent Berthe from invading Elrios.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rose2}} '''Rose:''' ''... We understand.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''... I can't even begin to tell you how remorseful I am.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''All this time, I never even suspected that Haivan was planning something like this. Even now... I just don't understand what he's thinking.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''Winster...''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''......''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''And... If he truly betrayed us, you will have to wait for your turn. Because I will tell him where to shove it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel2}} '''Ciel:''' ''Lu...''
