*''[Elder Village]''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 1:''' ''... At least Elder has mercenaries hired by the merchants. There are villagers that've been pillaged in the surrounding area... Tsk.''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 2:''' ''Pillaged? By bandits?''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 1:''' ''They're not sure. From what I hear, they come in and steal all the magic stones and metal pieces.''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 1:''' ''But no one knows how they came in! The villagers should have seen them coming if they came through the entrance, but that wasn't the case.''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 2:''' ''How can there be no trace? It's not like the bandits fell from the sky!''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 1:''' ''Who knows? You know what else I heard? They say, these bandits loot all the magic stones and metal, but leave other valuables like money and gems alone.''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 2:''' ''What a strange group of bandits.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Oh, there's an interesting rumor going around. I haven't heard anything about pillaging in Ruben.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''I suppose there is information that's only available in big villages like these. If only we had more time to hang around.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Stop right there! You wanna repeat that? Lightning Bolt!''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Ack! Ow, ow! What! What's wrong calling shorty a shorty!''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''If only... we had... Time...''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 2:''' ''... But did you hear? The merchants that went to the castle... They still haven't come back. You don't think something happened to them?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Hm?''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Villager 1:''' ''Not only that, there's someone who saw bandits gathering around scheming something. I thought they were all taken to the castle...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''The captured bandits showed themselves again...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''We should check it out. Aisha! Elsword! Stop fighting. Let's go see Hoffman.''

*{{StoryIcon|Hoffman}} '''Hoffman:''' ''Thank goodness you'e here. I was just about to end someone.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Is it bad news?''
*{{StoryIcon|Hoffman}} '''Hoffman:''' ''... Lord Wally is detaining the merchants.''
*{{StoryIcon|Hoffman}} '''Hoffman:''' ''They say it's to interview the witnesses, but they are treating them more like prisoners.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''That's absurd! Do you know the reason?''
*{{StoryIcon|Hoffman}} '''Hoffman:''' ''We are trying to figure that out as well. Come, Ms. Echo here was just about to share her accunt.''
*{{StoryIcon|Echo}} '''Echo:''' ''Uh huh... Necklace that Banthus had... I looked at it. It's Nasod technology. Wally probably made it.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''The Lord recreated a long lost ancient technology? How did he do it?''
*{{StoryIcon|Echo}} '''Echo:''' ''Hm... Echo not sure. But... It happened a long time ago. Wally brought Nasod parts and asked a lot of questions.''
*{{StoryIcon|Echo}} '''Echo:''' ''It was Echo's first time seeing Nasod parts so Echo was no help. Just gave him some reference to work with.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''So, he already knew about Nasods back then.''
*{{StoryIcon|Echo}} '''Echo:''' ''You came to Elder to find the El? Echo thinks Wally ordered the bandits to steal the El.''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''What? Why would the Lord order something like that?''
*{{StoryIcon|Echo}} '''Echo:''' ''Echo investigated after Wally left. El is needed to create and power Nasods.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Oh! I heard about that! Apparently Nasods use the El as its power source.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lenphad}} '''Lenphad:''' ''Then he must have detained them because he's guilty! That scummy Lord! I thought he was just an incompetent piece of trash, but now this? I'm not going to let him get away with this!''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Oh! What do you plan on doing about it?''
*{{StoryIcon|Lenphad}} '''Lenphad:''' ''Charge to the castle and teach Wally a lesson!''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Sounds good! Count me in!''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Sigh... If it were any other time, I would stop him, but...''
*{{StoryIcon|Hoffman}} '''Hoffman:''' ''Yes. Not only is it unacceptable that the Lord of the land will collaborate with the bandits to detain his citizens, but to steal the kingdom's El and use it on forbidden Nasod technology... We cannot let this slide.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lenphad}} '''Lenphad:''' ''Then let's go! I won't rest until he's paid for his action!''
*{{StoryIcon|Hoffman}} '''Hoffman:''' ''Calm down. Taking Wally head on is dangerous. We don't know what he's up to, and what of the guards protecting the castle?''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''If we can't face head on, we find another way! We just need to find a way to hide in the castle, right?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''Oh?''
*{{StoryIcon|Hoffman}} '''Hoffman:''' ''That's reasonable. I believe Luichel should be able to help in that endeavor.''
*{{StoryIcon|Luichel}} '''Luichel:''' ''Another way into the castle? Hm... There is a secret passageway through the underground waterway that leads to Wally's Castle. It's been a while though, so I'm not sure if it's still viable.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Um... That's... good news? But how do you know about this secret passageway.''
*{{StoryIcon|Luichel}} '''Luichel:''' ''Well- Let me just say I've already washed my hands on the matter!''
*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Ah, I see...''
*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Not sure what you're on about... We just need to check this passage, right?''
