Bernard:Hm... This is bad. This is really bad. Hmm...
Elsword:Hey, Mister! Are you the Nasod in charge of this village?
Bernard:Hmm...? You are...?!
Bernard:Ah, are you part of the Atlas army? I heard the message but I didn't think you would get here so soon...!
Add:(Hoh, it seems Eve's commands are working in this village... We're being recognized as Atlas troops... Keukeuk, how exciting!)
Ara:It's not that, we are...
Rena:(Shh! We're being recognized as Atlas troops thanks to Eve!)
Ara:(I, I see...! I almost made a mistake!)
Bernard:Yes... Thanks for coming at a time like this! I am relieved... I am, the one who oversees the village.
Chung:Bernard, can you tell us what the situation is?
Bernard:Yes, you should also know... All this happened when the communication was cut off from Adrian's Palace.
Eve:Adrian? Do you mean... Adrian, the Father of the Nasods?
Bernard:That's right. That place over there in the far distance is his palace.
Eve:Adrian... who went missing... built Elysion here...?
Bernard:All schedules in our village are decided based on orders from the Palace...
Bernard:But all orders have suddenly stopped. At first, I thought it was a temporary error... but even after time has passed, there was no order.
Raven:Either something happened to the palace... or there's something blocking the signal...?
Bernard:I'm afraid so. It's not just the palace. Even the guards around here are on high alert... It's highly possible something happened at the palace.
Bernard:And... I'm not sure if this is related, but several Nasod scouts have gone missing.
Lu:You mean you haven't even done anything yet?
Bernard:The Nasods of this village are not allowed to move without orders from the Palace. I have no choice but to wait here...
Bernard:Ahh... Of course, this village will be safe. It's been fine here... but strange incidents have been occurring...
Elsword:Forget that, we're looking for Solace. Do you happen to know where he is?
Bernard:Solace? Who is that? I've never heard such name...
Elsword:You don't know...? But earlier, at the entrance...
Eve:Stay calm, Elsword. First, we need more information on this place.
Add:Missing Nasod scouts... Hey, is there some kind of defense system around here?
Bernard:Right now there's a class one defense system activated near this village.
Eve:Then... We might want to check the memories of the Nasods outside.
Eve:We might figure out what the issue is if we can see what caused the defense system to activate.
Add:Then we can look at the Nasod memory I copied earlier. Kuhuhu!
Eve:... What? When did you do this?
Add:...
Lu:Oh ho, he's well prepared. Something to aspire towards, don't you think, Ciel?
Ciel:... Lu, am I not enough as I am right now?
Lu:Oh ho ho! I'm saying you can always improve as my butler!
Ciel:If that is your wish... We can start from your daily food intake. You've been eating a lot of sugar, so I think you should cut down on cookies.
Lu:Whaat...? No! I've changed my mind! You're fine just the way you are, Ciel!
Rena:Those two seem really close.
Eve:In any case... I will read the memory.
Eve:... Ah, I never thought something like this would happen...
Elesis:Why? What is it?
Eve:Currently, Adrian's Palace is blocked from any outside contact because of a barrier.
Bernard:A barrier... Adrian... What happened to Adrian?!
Eve:I do not know. But the energy waves from the barrier... It matches the energy responsible for moving the statue as the entrance.
Raven:It seems like Solace is responsible for creating a barrier around the Palace...
Eve:One more thing, it's the Nasod guards from that palace that have been abducting the Nasod scouts.
Aisha:How did you know this way happening? You would have found out about this if you just put together a group to scout the area!
Bernard:That's impossible... Without the Palace's orders, our code forces us to stay ehre.
Elsword:Err... These guys are third generation? They only follow orders like the Nasods from Elrios.
Eve:... Why would he put such limitation...
Bernard:Hmmm... We can rescue the captured Nasods and gather information from them.
Bernard:First... Can you send this information to Durenda, the officer in charge of Hernacyd, the Nasod troops stationed in the village? She might be able to figure something out.
The El Search Party finds out where the missing Nasods and the diceon cubes are. The El Search Party talks to Bernard for a way to enter the palace dungeons.
