Story/Chapter 38: Difference between revisions

*'''???:''' ''Hey, hey, relax. I know I'm the one who brought it up, but I'm sure it's fine. Father's the representative of the village, and all he cares about is the safety of the villagers. Since you all managed to come here without a single injury, I don't think we'd be able to stop you anyway.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''... You're saying it like it's not your problem. Isn't the village important to you?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Nous?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''......''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''Do you know where the energy core might be?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''You're not lying, are you?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''He told us that there was a ruler who united two races, and when the ruler was betrayed, you were exiled to live under the sea.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''Garen... Are they the other race that was in conflict with you?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hmmm... That description really reminds me of someone.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Mrrrr... Laby too...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''So, have you ever met a Garen before?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''That's longer than I thought.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Winster said that the ruler was betrayed. I thought the ruler might have been recovering from the way he spoke, but if it's that long ago...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''What is this ruler like? We didn't even hear the name.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''......''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''Do you mean...?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''The White-Ghost King...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Is this why Lu didn't want to reveal she's a lord? But why...)''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Oh? And you don't share his beliefs?''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''The same belief... You must really respect your father.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rose}} '''Rose:''' ''I see the energy core!''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Hmph, so you weren't leading us astray.''

*'''Trosh:''' ''Screee-!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Oh! It's the one we saw earlier!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''A, Aisha?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''What's going on...! They're using magic too!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''He doesn't seem like a bad guy...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''But he can be very... Trying.''

*'''Trosh:''' ''Scree...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''... Huh? Wait! What are you doing?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh... He's much more ruthless than I thought.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''Stop! Your father requested us not to harm the creatures.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Violence may be an easy way to solve things, but it doesn't solve everything.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''My words, exactly. Besides, I've already promised Winster. As such, I cannot just let you harm those creatures.''

----

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''You're back.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''They were rather misbehaved. We didn't harm them too much, as you've wished, but it would take time before they break their habits.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''... I see. Please forgive me for my insolence, Steel Queen.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ciel}} '''Ciel:''' ''...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''I knew you were hiding something from the beginning. As suspected, you were testing me.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Haivan!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Kya! That gave me a scare.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''You are standing before one of the 4 rulers of the demon realm. Pay proper respect.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elesis}} '''Elesis:''' ''A test? Lu, you knew from the beginning?''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''I suspect he already knew who I was the moment we met. Isn't that right?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Tsk, that can't be the only one! You can't expect us to believe you don't have another one? A proto-type?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''You are right, we do have one.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''That doesn't sound too reassuring. Is there something wrong with this portal?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''That's a glaring problem...''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''There's one thing I've been wondering. It's hard to believe that you've managed to develop a portal with the kind of technology available here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''A secret laboratory?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''I can't believe this. Something appears when you most need it, and you don't even think to check if it's a trap or not?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''That data was just one method of realizing our dreams. The laboratory contained many research that helped us. After many trial and error, we were able to complete a portal. But for whatever reason, we were unable to activate the portal that was in the laboratory.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''Huh... Is it possible to make something new, when you can't have the one you have to work?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''We knew that the portal inside the laboratory needed special energy to operate, but it was impossible to find related data to continue with the research. Since your technology is more advanced, you might be able to use the portal.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''We have an energy source.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''This is a gem from Varnimyr...! And this power... This should be enough to act as a power source.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''We were going to analyze it with the masters, but this is an emergency.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rena}} '''Rena:''' ''So I guess this means we can go back to Elrianode. I didn't expect to find a way this fast.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eve}} '''Eve:''' ''He's not wrong. We should help when our return is guaranteed. Winster, could we check the condition of the portal immediately?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''If you want, I'll lead you right away.''

*{{StoryIcon|Lu}} '''Lu:''' ''Do not worry. As long as we know we can use the portal, I will make sure to fulfill your request.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''... You really have changed.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''That's true... It's been awhile since last time... Then I'll go scout ahead.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Abandoned plant? I thought we were going to the laboratory that holds the portal?''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''A key?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''I will explain on the way. Follow me.''

|contents1=

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''... I didn't think it would be well maintained when you said 'abandoned', but this is worse than I thought.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''When was the last maintenance?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''I have nothing more to say.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''You said we will be creating a key. What exactly are we supposed to do?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''In order to go through the laboratory's security system, we need a special power source from this plant. While we create the power source by operating the plant. We need help from you to make sure nothing goes awry.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''All this, to open a single door?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''If we refine icerite mined from the lower levels, we can create a highly concentrated icerite capsules. It contains pure condensed energy.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rose}} '''Rose:''' ''I've never heard of icerites before. Is that the names of the mineral used as energy here?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Yes. It's one of very few resources we can use here. It's a green, ice-like mineral with wave patterns. You will be able to recognize it easily.''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Whoa! It's so cool! Ah, it's cold!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aisha}} '''Aisha:''' ''That's why it's called an 'ice'rite. It's almost like an ice shard. So we need to refine this?''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''I suppose it'll be difficult to collect anywhere else. What do you mean it reacts to water?''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''So this was the reason those machines emitted pink gas! We though it was to stop intruders.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Should I apologize for leaving the tunnel unscathed?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Back to the subject at hand, right now we won't have enough resources to create the energy source, so we need to mine the resource while operating the plant.''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''Didn't you say it's one of few resources you have? Why do you not have any reserves? You're not planning anything, are you?''

*{{StoryIcon|Add}} '''Add:''' ''If only you were well prepared...''

*'''Nichel:''' ''I'm back, Winster.''

*{{StoryIcon|Raven}} '''Raven:''' ''Yes. Since Nichel could have handled the upper levels alone, we don't need as many people.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''So four with Nichel, then five each for the center and lower levels?''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''Laby's headed to the chimney, and Laby's going with Nisha, so we're five too!''

*{{StoryIcon|Laby}} '''Laby:''' ''This is Nisha!''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''We've all had no time to rest since we've come to the demon realm... I'm sure we'll be fine, but don't overdo it.''

*{{StoryIcon|Elsword}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hahaha, is that so?''

*{{StoryIcon|Chung}} '''Chung:''' ''(Elsword... He's been uneasy since what's happened in Henir's realm. Is it because of the vision he had when he first came to the demon realm?)''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''He's right. You will all be with us as your guide. There's no need to worry.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''It's been several years since our last maintenance, so there's probably more monsters than usual... But it should be fine.''
