*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Ugh, it's so loud!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''They came swarming the moment we came up.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''There are security sensors everywhere... It's as the Dream Demons said. This might be the only hole in the security they have. Let's hurry.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Uwa... Don't look down. It's making me dizzy.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''He was right. From this height, you won't even be able to see the sky from below.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''And without being able to see the sky, you can't use the stars to guide your way. It's like a maze.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Even if someone manages to sneak within the walls, they won't be able to go anywhere from there, nor escape.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I don't understand. I don't understand at all... Were they trying to isolate the Land of Steel from the rest of the Demon Realm...?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''If the purpose is to stop the Contamination, they shouldn't need this level of security.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''It's like they're refusing to acknowledge anything beyond the wall...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''But we have the route the Dream Demons gave us. We just have to make sure to stay together.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''The direction of the signal... Found it. It's that way!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Wait, Add! Geez, I just said we should stay together!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''It's fine. He knows how to take care of himself. Add! I have a request to make.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''What? Get on with it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''It's likely that a member of the order where you will be headed to, knows what happened to the Land of Steel. Or perhaps was even directly involved.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Ask what happened in the Land of Steel. Even the smallest detail will suffice... Please.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''... Alright. If I get around to it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Some of us will follow him. Everyone, good luck!'' | |||
---- | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Map... Let's see, according to the map, this way is the fastest route.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''With the security being so tight, taking cover will be impossible.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Well, if we're playing decoy, it's better to make a splash! Since there's less people who went the other way.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Do you think members of the Order are going to be where Add went? Damn it, maybe I should have went with them.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''They'll be fine. We must do what we can from here.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Alright! Let's become the center of attention!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''I will investigate the area around the wall. There may be shortcuts or other dangers the Dream Demons failed to notice.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Zero}} '''Zero:''' ''The structure... It's really a maze... The design itself has malicious intent. Do the ones living in the wall never plan on leaving?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''... Um, is there a distinction between a maze and a labyrinth? This seems similar to that place we went before.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''You mean Plegas's Labyrinth? They're similar. Mazes and labyrinths are both complex structures. Though they are usually used for landscaping gardens...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''Anything other than for simple landscaping could be dangerous. They are usually designed to put people under pressure until they can arrive at the destination.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''So both mazes and labyrinths are made to puzzle people?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''Yes. But there's one clear distinction. Labyrinths have a single, continuous path. It's like a string, in a sense that it twists and turns, but ultimately is still a singular path.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''So it's actually not that hard to find the way. You will eventually reach the center as long as you keep going.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''The destination of a labyrinth is the center? Not the exit?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''Mostly. That's why labyrinths are often compared to destiny or truth that is ignored, yet ultimately inevitable.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Yes, yes. I get it, Mr. Encyclopedia. Then what is a maze?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''For mazes, the entrance and the exit are often separate, and the main purpose is to escape the maze.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''But the reason why it's hard to reach the destination is different from labyrinth's. Mazes have countless potential paths.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''If you're unlucky, you may end up moving in circles, never to reach the exit.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''That's what you mean by malicious intent. I wonder why they included this design for the wall?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''Hm... It's common sense to have fortified walls to stop invasions... But this definitely goes beyond the scope of common sense. Never mind how wasteful this is.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''You can sense the obsessive intent of forbidding, not only anyone invading from outside, but also from anyone escaping...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor3}} '''Clamor:''' ''The Queen must be feeling devastated.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Yeah....'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''(I wonder what it's like, coming back home, only to face rejection...)'' | |||
