After showing a brief surprise due to how different it was inside, Noah shows concern that all the evidence might have been burnt by the flames.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • (WHIIRR...)
  • Clamor: Oh! The lights came on. Are we setting off the intruder alarm?
  • Noah: No, I think it's supposed to light up when there are people inside. It was like this last time as well.
  • Clamor: Wow... that's incredible... A taste of technology, 1,000 years in the future, huh.
  • Noah: But, it's strange... It looks really different from last time. I had a hard time maneuvering around because there were vines all over the place...
  • Clamor: Vines? It's a bit cluttered, but I don't see any plants.
  • Noah: I did come here after seasons passed. Maybe it's because the door was open.
  • Clamor: Hm... Oh look! There's a book on that chair.
  • Noah: You're right. Let's see...
  • (CRUMBLE...)
  • Noah: It's burnt. A light touch is causing it to fall apart. I don't think we can read it.
  • Clamor: I thought this was all dust because everything's so old, but now that I look more closely, they look like soot. I think there was a fire.
  • Noah: Fire? That's no good... Let's go downstairs. I hope it's in better condition...
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • (BLAZE)
  • Noah: Ugh... Cough! Cough!
  • Clamor: Noah! Be careful not to breath in the smoke.
  • Noah: Cough, ugh... So this is why there was soot everywhere. The tables and shelves were all burnt. Why are there monsters that use the power of fire? Are they fire spirits?
  • Clamor: They're not spirits. But I believe they're the reason why this manor was closed down.
  • Noah: I think this manor was used as a lab, but I don't think we can find anything with the place like this. I thought we might find something if we just came here early enough...... I knew it. Nothing's going t change.
  • Clamor: It's too early to give up.
  • Noah: But even if there's important evidence here, I don't think it will be in good condition in this kind of environment...
  • Clamor: Ha.ha.ha. Kid, labs suffer through all sorts of disasters. That's why any important research material or ingredients will be under multiple safety measures. One of them being fireproof spells. What was it like last time you were here? Was the entrance destroyed? Or any other sign of outside forces involved?
  • Noah: ... Not really. There was no sign of battle.
  • Clamor: That means someone either released or broke the spell. A magician, like me.
  • Noah: Oh...!
  • Clamor: It's just a hunch, but there must have been a reason that the people in this manor had to close down everything and leave right away. Scholars don't leave their work behind like this. Unless there's some kind of unforeseen circumstance. Or else, their lifelong work can be stolen or used by someone else in a way they did not intend. Now here's the real question. A magician entered an unihabited forest to find an abandoned manor infested with monsters. What could be the reason? 1, because they were bored. 2, because they had nothing better to do. 3, to waste their time. Or 4, to find something.
  • Noah: The examples are way too biased. So you think the magician was here to look for something?
  • Clamor: Yes... or maybe not? I understand it might be better to have no expectation rather than to hope only to be disappointed, but didn't you say it was different this time? Don't give up so easily.
  • Noah: ... Do you actually believe I've done this already? I could be making this up.
  • Clamor: Of course, it's hard to believe a story like that, but there's no other way to describe your behavior otherwise. Considering the circumstances we're in, and your personality, I have made a scholarly deduction that you're telling the truth.
  • Noah: .......
  • Clamor: And, well. My situation isn't much different. I'm a weapon that claims its a magician from an ancient fallen kingdom, 1,000 years ago, yet you believe me, don't you?
  • Noah: ... I suppose... I'm never going to acknowledge you in front of other people though.
  • Clamor: And here I thought we were having a heart-felt moment, bonding over our shared hardship.
  • Noah: Do you really expect us to have a 'heart-felt' moment when you sass like that? And... what do you mean you thought I was telling the truth based on my personality?
  • Clamor: Oh, that? It really shows when you lie.
  • Noah: ... There's nothing scholarly about that. Are you saying I'm an easy read?
  • Clamor: Honestly, yeah. You give short responses when we're on a topic that doesn't interest you, or it's something you're not familiar with. Keep up the good work. You're painfully obvious.
  • Noah: Sigh... Why do I even talk to you. Anyway... You think we can find something important around here? Where should we start?
  • Clamor: Let's check anywhere that might be hiding something. If it has some kind of protection spell on it, it will surely stand out with everything else burnt to crisps.

Description

Noah and Clamor search for traces that might remain in the lab.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Noah: We've collected quite a bit already. It was surprisingly easy to spot the ones with protection spells on them, since everything else was burnt.
  • Clamor: Would you like to take a look?
  • Noah: Now? Hold on... '... As such, Elrians refer to those who are sensitive to El and can harness its power regardless of their race. According to the jurisdiction of Elrian Kingdom in the following...' ... What is this talking about?
  • Clamor: Heh... Heheh... Here, read this one.
  • Noah: '... put the meat on boil, and add three tablespoons. The softest mana herbs can be harvested as the beginning of the month. The ones harvested at night are preferable over those harvested in daytime. Mana herbs soften the meat when used as spice, and adds additional nutrients necessary for one's health. It is especially beneficial to those who use magic often or...' This... just looks like a recipe... Is this some kind of code? Am I supposed to read it vertically?
  • Clamor: Heh... Hahahaha!!
  • Noah: Why are you laughing! Why would anyone put a protection spell on something like this!
  • Clamor: Hahaha! Obviously to protect the precious meat recipe using mana herbs! Why else?
  • Noah: Stop teasing! What's going on?
  • Clamor: Haha, ha... Don't be upset. It probably is an important document. It just has a misinterpretation spell to show random content.
  • Noah: Misinterpretation spell?
  • Clamor: Yes. You can't have just anyone reading top secret documents, right? So thee's a spell that shows something completely different from its original content.
  • Noah: Does this work? Isn't it easy for magicians who know about the spell to undo it?
  • Clamor: It's not hard to notice them, but only if you take a close look at it. That's not easy to do when there's lots of paper and you have to look at every single page carefully.
  • Noah: But, a cooking recipe in a lab is so obviously strange, isn't it?
  • Clamor: Hey, researchers got to eat too, you know.
  • Noah: ... I suppose.
  • Clamor: The only reason why we were able to find the documents with ease was because the monsters essentially destroyed everything that didn't already have a protection spell on it. Plus, it was easy to trace magic since this place was uninhabited for a long time. I mean, who would use magic on a useless piece of paper?
  • Noah: ... I get it. I don't think I would have noticed if I were here by myself... But, I guess it all worked out. Maybe there were some things that I missed because I didn't know. It would have been useful if I knew magic.
  • Clamor: Yeah? Well, there's no harm in learning. Now, let's go check out that desk over there.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Noah: The back of this desk looks pretty intact. I guess monsters didn't really come this way.
  • Clamor: The documents in these shelves don't have protection spells on them. I guess they're not that important, but it should still be rare. Want to see?
  • Noah: Hm... It's not burnt, but there's still holes from bugs eating through the document. It looks like a report. '... and a sealed temple was found not far from the lab. During our investigation, something of interest was found, so it was decided to be implemented using... with...'
  • Clamor: A temple not that far from here? Are they talking about the temple where we woke up?
  • Noah: I think so. Let me read further. '... a place to gather... ealed relics... ... found a door to the past that could potentially be used to experiment...'
  • Clamor: What?
  • Noah: Wait, hold on. 'However, after further investigation, it was found that the door merely reenacts the past of the subject in front of it rather than actually opening a door to the past. The past is set to the moment the subject feels most regret in their past... It cannot change, therefore was unfit for experimentation.'
  • Clamor: I see. It only reflects the past of the user...
  • Noah: 'During the investigation, Dr... was caught in...' I think this was supposed to be the name of the researcher. It's blurred out, so I can't read it. Anyway... '... leading to suspension. The influence on... seemed to... as the attempts to change the past increased.'
  • Clamor: It only looks like you can change the past, but in reality, it does not.
  • Noah: Looks like it. I didn't realize something like this existed... If only I knew...
  • Clamor: ... Noah. It states here...
  • Noah: I know. You can't change the past. It's just that...... If I had known, I would have been able to see Harque's face again...
  • Clamor: .......
  • Noah: ... Oh, there's more. 'There was a sealed door within the temple. Upon investigation, energy of an unidentified element was observed beyond the door. It was found unnecessary to open the door with an unknown threat. The temple was sealed. Investigation complete.' This...
  • Clamor: It's the room we were in. I wonder when this investigation took place?
  • Noah: I want to check the date, but it's removed. The last entry... 'Suggestions were made at a later date to utilize the door to replicate successful experiments, but were discarded once the Incubator was brought in.' Incubator? That's the name of your invention, right? I wonder what these people were working on?
  • Clamor: (... Incubator?)

Description

Clamor finds a symbol of one corner of the lab.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Clamor: Noah? There's some kind of symbol of this wall.
  • Noah: This... is fire...? Is this the house of Rosso? I never heard that they've operated a lab like this... Ah, I suppose there are places kept hidden from the public's eye, with all the families competing viciously over the position of El Master.
  • Clamor: Rosso? You mean the Fire Master family, right? What kind of research were they conducting to require such a large facility? Did other houses also have facilities like this?
  • Noah: This is just my speculation... But I think this is because of a unique trait of the power of Fire. I heard that it's not easy to harness the power of Fire even for Masters, because fire energy is inherently violent and volatile. Even those who are selected as Fire Master, don't manage to keep their position for long.
  • Clamor: It's true, fire is hardest to control among all the elements... I suppose they were researching on how to control that power here.
  • Noah: Thee last Fire Master was selected way before I was born and he was a Rosso. I guess they managed to find a way to safely control the power of Fire after long research.
  • Clamor: ... Then these monsters... must be the result of the experiment.
  • Noah: ... I don't get it.
  • Clamor: (Incubator... I got a bad feeling...)
  • Noah: If this truly was the lab for the House of Rosso studying the elements of the El, then it probably has nothing to do with Henir's Order. Let's get out of here.
  • Clamor: Ummm... Noah. I have a favor to ask you.
  • Noah: Huh? What is it?
  • Clamor: ... Though this may have nothing to do with the Order, those monsters could be the by-products of the experiment, right? All this research could fall into the hands of someone nefarious if we leave them like this, which could potentially be disastrous. And since I've essentially rendered the door useless, the monsters could end up in the nearest village...
  • Noah: Mm... Oh, I understand. You're right. Since we've managed to save some time, let's take another look around this place.
  • Clamor: ... Thank you.

Description

Clamor decides to teach Noah how to lift spells. Though Noah is unsure, he decides to try after Clamor's insistence.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Clamor: Is it me or is it getting more dreary as we go deeper inside? More monsters, too. (What were they working on here? I got a bad feeling about this...)
  • Noah: I think this was their main lab. There aren't that many books.
  • Clamor: Looks like it. Do you want to check out the documents here? We need a large space to spread everything out.
  • Noah: Let's use this desk here. I'll lay it out. Hold on...
  • (FLIP FLIP...)
  • Clamor: Good. Now, what t do here...
  • Noah: What's wrong? Is it too much work?
  • Clamor: Oh, not at all. I was just trying to figure out how to teach you to remove the spell.
  • Noah: Huh? I'm the one removing it?
  • Clamor: You said you wanted to learn magic, didn't you? I'll teach you. And we can start with this one.
  • Noah: Well, I didn't really mean anything when I said it! It's so sudden...
  • Clamor: There's never a better moment to start learning.
  • Noah: That's so cliché! Why can't you remove it?
  • Clamor: No. It has to be you. There are limits to how much magic I can perform in this form. It lacks efficiency. I guess I can borrow magic from you... But in order to lend my magic, you still need a basic understanding of how everything works. So the quickest way is for you to learn magic, actually.
  • Noah: We don't need to d it right this moment...
  • Clamor: You're the one who was in a hurry earlier. Hey! Don't be intimidated. This is a simple spell! This kind of magic is hard to find, but easy to remove. I'll teach you step by step. You just need to do exactly as I tell you.
  • Noah: What if... I break it?
  • Clamor: Don't worry. The most important thing when you cast a spell, is not the innate ability of the caster, but the will to try it. So let's do that, yeah? Who knows? You might have a knack for it.
  • Noah: But...
  • Clamor: It will be useful later if you learn it now. What if the Order appears in front of you all of a sudden, and drop an important looking document. What are you going t do if you can't interpret 'THE MOTHER OF ALL EVIL DOCUMENTS' because you don't know magic? You could say, 'Oh Clamor! You were right! If only I listened to you and learned the spell!' but then, it will be too late.
  • Noah: That's a weirdly specific scenario.
  • Clamor: Anyway! Just try. It's not a big deal if you fail.
  • Noah: ... Sigh, alright...
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Clamor: Now, place your hand on the document you wish to have the spell removed, and concentrate your magic at the end of your fingertips.
  • Noah: Don't I need a magic circle or something?
  • Clamor: Sometimes. But the spell we're removing isn't anything complicated, so it's find if we just use your power and remove all the process.
  • Noah: This situation itself is not fine...
  • Clamor: Don't think too hard. Just remember three things. Your goal, your will, and concentrate.
  • (... ... ...)
  • Noah: Mmm! .......... Nothing happened.
  • Clamor: What, did you expect fireworks to go off? Check the document again. It looks different to me already.
  • Noah: It worked? Really?
  • (FLIP... FLIP)
  • Noah: ... Really? I did it? No way... You didn't switch it out after you removed the spell, did you?
  • Clamor: Nope, it's all you.
  • Noah: But... But it can't be this easy... Everyone told me I was nothing compared to my brother since I was little.
  • Clamor: I bet your brother was just like you when he was tiny.
  • Noah: What?
  • Clamor: No need to belittle yourself by comparing with your brother. Harque is much older than you, isn't he? It's natural to be clumsy and unskilled when you're young. You just get better as you get older and gain more experience. You did this, Noah.
  • Noah: I...
  • Clamor: You get the gist of it now that you've done it, right? You'll gain speed as you practice.
  • Noah: ... Ok.

Description

A shocking information was found in the documents from inside the lab.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • (KYA- KEEE-)
  • Noah: The test subjects... I wonder how many there are.
  • Clamor: Now, let's check what's so important that a spell was put on it.
  • Noah: Ok.... The first several pages are profiles. They list names and age and such. Their birthplace is usually listed as unknown.
  • Clamor: Unknown? Why? Didn't you say this was the House of Rosso?
  • Noah: I don't think they're Rossos. All their names are different. Some don't even have a last name. Maybe they're all profiles of researchers. A-97 Eris, B-27 Lebio, B-49 Feidan, B-63 Marcan, B-99 Ainen... The numbers next to the names... They must have used numbers instead of their names.
  • Clamor: What, like a prisoner number? This isn't a jail...
  • Noah: Hm... I don't think there's anything else. I'll take a look at another page. This looks like a letter...
  • Someone's Letter: [... We have proceeded with the experiment based on the ones that showed promising results from the tolerance enhancement experiment, but the aftereffects shown by our subjects were not ideal. We will send over the older request shortly. Though we've requested various samples before, based on the 1st stage of the experiment...]
  • Noah: .......
  • Clamor: Noah?
  • Noah: ... The subject with a specific trait showed the most stable results. Further details can be found in the attached report.
  • Clamor: .......
  • Noah: Report of the following... experiment.
  • Lab Report: [Among the 21st batch, A-97 shows exceptional results compared to other test subjects. Displays progress of the research. Control of more variables needed after reviewing which variable could have potentially influenced A-97's positive result.]
  • Noah: In order to have the Fire Master elected before the next Harmony Festi... val... Need careful han... dling of the test.. test subjects...
  • Clamor: El... ect? The test subjects? You mean, this wasn't just an experiment to control the power of Fire...? They actually researched to create a 'test subject' they can control? To create a Fire Master?
  • Noah: This... wasn't normal research...?
  • Clamor: I can't believe it. How could this happen? How can they possibly do something like this under the watch of the Goddess?
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Noah: Ah, pant... pant... An experiment to create the Fire Master... Something like this happened with the Rossos as well?
  • Clamor: ... Did something like this happen with other families?
  • Noah: ... I don't know about other families, but I... I experienced something similar.
  • Clamor: The Order's experiment you mentioned?
  • Noah: The imposter that killed Harque visited occasionally under the pretext of 'taking care of his sick baby brother.' But my condition worsened. I thought I was being treated for my illness... but in reality, he was experimenting on me.
  • Clamor: What... kind of experiment?
  • Noah: I'm not sure. My memory is unclear... I only know this because the Moon Priestess told me before putting me to sleep. They did not get the result they wanted, so they were going to conduct the final experiment before I, their test subject, perished.
  • Clamor: How did she know? Was the Moon Priestess also from the Order?
  • Noah: Yes. She helped the imposter enter El Tower and kill Harque. I don't know why... but at the end, it seemed like she wanted to apologize. Not that it's important in any way. The El Master receives the purest elemental El energy from the High Priest during their nomination. I think the imposter tried to inject me with the power of the Moon after he received it.
  • Clamor: Why would he... Never mind that. Is it alright for just anyone to receive the power of the Moon?
  • Noah: Well... At the very least, it wasn't for me, since I had to be on bedrest after that. My body can't really tolerate the power of the Moon. I could barely hold it in...
  • Clamor: Are you still ill? Noah...!
  • Noah: I'm fine now.... I told you, they were conducting a final experiment. I don't exactly know what it is... But after that pill they forced me to swallow, the power of the moon I barely held, and even the power of Darkness I already had... mutated. I no longer feel ill, or listless. But I don't know how it's affecting me, or how it will affect me in the long run...... Haha, why are we even on this subject? Why is something like this...
  • Clamor: Noah? Noah, are you alright? I don't think you should read this anymore...
  • Noah: No. Now that I've seen it, I have to know.
  • Someone's Letter: [We apologize for the unfortunate news. As we have reported previously, subject number 97 has gone berserk and has to be terminated. We are still in the process of finding the cause, but we suspect the reason is due to the body being unable to handle the unstable fire energy like with the previous test subjects. We need a method to inject the elemental power securely and have it remain stable. We will come up with a more effective experiment structure in the meantime.]
  • Noah: This is repulsive.... Did you know? Master are priests. Once they become an El Master, they must leave everything behind and devote themselves to the El. But it's different for families that produced the Masters. Isn't it funny? If they sacrifice a family member, the entire family gains power equivalent of that of royalty. That's the dark side of the El Master system. The experiments conducted here, is just another way for that disgusting powerplay to take place.
  • Clamor: .......
  • Noah: This next entry... is a bit different.
  • Someone's Memo: [We managed to find a provider wearing black robes and purchased the 'Eye' and the blueprint for the 'Incubator'. In theory, if the fire energy is kept at a consistent level and injected, the desired result can be achieved. However, the difficulty of handing the fire energy is present even when attempting to keep the energy level consistent. This is usually what leads to termination of the test subject during the experiment. The Incubator allows for minimal energy loss, and keeps the energy stable. The stability increased greatly when it was used against the test subjects. It was an unexpected success.]
