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.
Aisha:(Urgh, this tone... It reminds me of someone.)
Ara:(Hahaha... I think I'm thinking of the same person as you, Aisha.)
Add:Tsk! Stop whispering... You there. You heard that the Nasod scouts have gone missing, right?
Durenda:Yes, I heard.
Chung:...
Chung:Umm... From what we've investigated, the ones that have been abducting the Nasod scouts were Nasod guards...
Durenda:You think I ordered the kidnappings? You have the gall to accuse me?
Add:Ha... She's being difficult. Your Majesty show the memory of the Nasod!
Eve:Don't order me around, Add. I'm sure you know a better way to request help while showing respect.
Add:Ah... ugh... Please.
Durenda:Outrageous...
Elesis:Anything would be great. Do you have any idea why they are acting this way?
Durenda:Tsk...! There's one thing. Ever since we lost communication with Adrian's Palace, the Emperacyds have turned on us.
Chung:Emperacyd... You mean the palace guards? Why would they turn on you?
Durenda:I do not know. But when something happens at the palace, it's emergency defense system activates. The defense code might have also activated on the Emperacyd.
Elsword:Can't you tell them to stop? Innocent Nasod scouts are being taken in.
Durenda:Hmph, he must have deemed them dangerous and gave them a direct order. If it is a direct order, my orders will not go through.
Ciel:Then you're just going to stand there and do nothing?
Durenda:That is the plan. If you have no other business, leave. It's almost time for Phobos to rest.
Ara:Phobos? Is there someone else here? I can't see him?
Aisha:Ahh... Ara, why would you say that? That's terrifying!
Rena:They won't listen to orders...? Surely we can ask them somehow?
Eve:... Durenda is correct. I tried to access the code of the Nasod guards, but as expected, access has been restricted.
Raven:We'll have to go up against the Nasod guards then.
Eve:Let's look around Elysion more. We might learn something more.
Elsword:Kugh, we were able to go through the barrier... But the attacks are relentless...
Eve:As I thought... The barrier uses the same energy as the statues in front of the village entrance. It's Solace's power.
Elesis:I have no idea what he's planning... But Adrian must get in the way of Solace's plans.
Rena:Adrian gets in the way of Solace's plans? How do you know?
Chung:I see... If Adrian was involved with forming the barrier, they would not have kidnapped the Nasods. This is all Solace's doing...
Elesis:Oh, I guess that's one way to look at it. I just thought that if it were Adrian who casted the barrier, he would have stopped attaking or would have brought down the barrier once he recognized Eve.
Elesis:But that didn't happen, so I assumed it must have been Solace.
Eve:...
Worker Nasod:... BEEP.
Eve:Ah... You are one of the captured Nasods... Did you manage to escape? Poor thing... Your body is slightly damaged.
Rena:That's terrible... How sad...
Add:A lost item. We can just leave it at the village and continue the investiga...
Eve:...
Add:... Ahem...
Worker Nasod:BEEP, BEEP-
Eve:Hm? Is there something you want to tell me? A memory... You stored all the information in your memory? I'm really proud.
Elsword:What are they saying?
Eve:I will take a look... It seems that... there are a lot more captured Nasods than we thought. This Nasod is asking us to save them.
Raven:Save them? Looking at the way this one is damaged... There must be something more doing on to them than being captured. Any more information?
Eve:Wait... I see... an unfamiliar place. ... This... isn't the Palace. It's an extremely dark place... It looks like the dungeons. And...
Eve:A diceon cube? I see stolen diceon cubes from Atlas... it seems they're being used as the main energy source.
Lu:Main energy source for what? Can you explain in more detail?
Eve:... Its memory has been damaged... That's all the data I can recover. Moby, Remy... Please repair this Nasod...
Elsword:The kidnapped Nasods were connected to the missing diceon cubes... For now, I think there's only one thing we can do.
Chung:Yes, let's go save our Nasod friends!
Ciel:If we've lucky, one of his friends might hold solid memories.
Elsword:Yeah, wait here! I'll save your friends!
Worker Nasod:BEBEEP!
Eve:This Nasod... is expressing his thanks to everyone.
Elesis:Haha, what a cute guy! We didn't even set off yet. Let's take this guy to the village first, and find out more about the dark place Eve saw.
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.
