1
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,040
Ah, Sir Mikhael was as handsome as ever today!

2
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:22,880
You're both stunning and compliment each other well.

3
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,040
Why thank you.

4
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,420
Honestly, it's hard to believe.

5
00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:30,210
The young mistress getting married
and becoming a wife!

6
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:32,330
The ceremony is still a ways off, nanny.

7
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:34,170
Oh, nonsense!

8
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:38,630
You mustn't be complacent. Otherwise you'll find yourself
unable to fit into your wedding dress on the big day.

9
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:40,880
Or some other unspeakable disaster.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,250
Don't say that, you'll jinx it!

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,420
You bungling idiot! Hurry and put it all back!

12
00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:52,750
Forgive me...

13
00:00:52,750 --> 00:00:53,040
Sorry for the delay. Please wait a moment.

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,130
Shut up!
Sorry for the delay. Please wait a moment.

15
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:54,880
Sorry for the delay. Please wait a moment.

16
00:00:55,290 --> 00:00:58,330
Goodness gracious.
How can they fail such simple tasks?

17
00:00:58,330 --> 00:00:59,460
You're telling me.

18
00:00:59,750 --> 00:01:02,080
Humans are good for absolutely nothing.

19
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:10,710
Milady?

20
00:01:11,580 --> 00:01:13,080
Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

21
00:01:13,380 --> 00:01:16,790
Impossible! It can't be him! It must be someone else!

22
00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:19,750
There's no way he survived! That's absurd!

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,580
Light is long gone!

24
00:01:24,210 --> 00:01:25,420
A dead end?

25
00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:28,750
B-but there are no places to hide around here.

26
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:30,380
So, where did he go?

27
00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:33,920
My eyes must've been playing tricks on me.

28
00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:36,330
That can't have been Light.

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,830
"Waiting at the Tower"... signed by Light?!

30
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:47,830
Milady!

31
00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:50,040
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,710
He's going to ruin everything...

33
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:53,420
Huh?

34
00:01:54,250 --> 00:01:58,960
It was killing Light that opened the door for me.
I'm the adopted daughter of an earl now.

35
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:03,500
My mansion, my reward money,
even my engagement to Sir Mikhael...

36
00:02:04,790 --> 00:02:06,210
I'll lose it all!

37
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:07,710
Milady?

38
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:10,540
The time is finally at hand, Ellie.

39
00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:12,250
Please leave it to me.

40
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:17,880
She's about to learn the hard way that she picked
the wrong person to betray, abuse, and ridicule.

41
00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:20,920
I'll make sure it's seared into the very fiber of her being,

42
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:25,170
by inflicting so, so, so much pain and suffering.

43
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:26,750
Sounds wonderful.

44
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:31,420
All right. Let's get "Operation:
Revenge on Sasha" underway!

THE WHITE KNIGHTS
EPISODE 8

68
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Aw, so close!

69
00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:09,330
One more time!

70
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:10,170
Here goes!

71
00:04:13,290 --> 00:04:15,330
Look, look! I nailed him that time, Nhia!

72
00:04:15,330 --> 00:04:17,420
Just remember you lose if he dies, Khia.

73
00:04:17,630 --> 00:04:18,000
I know!

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,960
God, I just love how smooth
and silky your skin is, Soscha.
I know!

75
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,290
God, I just love how smooth
and silky your skin is, Soscha.

76
00:04:19,290 --> 00:04:21,630
Okay, it's my turn now!
God, I just love how smooth
and silky your skin is, Soscha.

77
00:04:21,630 --> 00:04:21,960
God, I just love how smooth
and silky your skin is, Soscha.

78
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,330
Why, you. Now's not the time
to get naughty, Sir Sharphat!

79
00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:27,710
Oh, c'mon. Let me have my fun.

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,210
Let's see...

81
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:31,790
I'll aim over there!

82
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,460
Oh, hey. I heard the news, Captain.

83
00:04:38,170 --> 00:04:39,130
What news?

84
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:42,210
About that idiotic self-proclaimed "hero," Kyto.

85
00:04:42,630 --> 00:04:46,460
He teamed up with a dark elf to steal
a legendary sword from the treasury, right?

86
00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:49,460
And worse yet, got a bounty put on his head
for being an Adventurer Killer.

87
00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:52,750
Until some human kicked his ass
and now he's nowhere to be found.

88
00:04:52,750 --> 00:04:54,380
It's a riot!

89
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:57,830
But I hear the big shots are going
to make us clean up his mess.

90
00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:00,040
What a total drag.

91
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,380
Surely you must be joking, Sir Sharphat.

92
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,250
It's only natural that we take responsibility for problems
caused by a former member of the knighthood.

93
00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:10,500
You're too uptight, Muste.

94
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,130
I'd rather stay nice and comfy right here!

95
00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:15,330
Score!

96
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:17,380
Okay. I'm going for his eyes next.

97
00:05:17,380 --> 00:05:18,460
Enough!

98
00:05:19,540 --> 00:05:22,420
Quit ruining the mood with your games.
Just kill him already!

99
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:24,920
This is our slave, thank you very much!

100
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,540
We can do whatever we want.

101
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:28,830
It's no worse than your taste in women, Sharphat!

102
00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:31,290
You're a freak who gets off on fondling humans!

103
00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:33,040
Nothing wrong with having a libido!

104
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Please get a hold of yourselves!

105
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:37,290
We are the White Knights.

106
00:05:37,580 --> 00:05:39,210
Humans are weak creatures.

107
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:41,460
Keeping one as a short-term pet is fine.

108
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,130
But ultimately, what they need is the blessing
of mercy at the hands of our sterling blades.

109
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:52,750
For them, life is little more than a painful slog.
Thus, we should grant them a quick and beautiful death!

110
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:55,670
Why can't any of you understand that?

111
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,670
Just keep preaching, you big prude.

112
00:05:58,670 --> 00:06:00,830
Because it'll come back to bite you in the ass someday.

113
00:06:01,130 --> 00:06:02,540
Hope you get screwed!

114
00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:03,830
Sooner rather than later!

115
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,960
I appreciate your concern,
but I won't be changing my ways.

116
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,750
Yeah, sure, whatever.

117
00:06:08,750 --> 00:06:09,880
Hardass!

118
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,710
Bonehead!

119
00:06:11,710 --> 00:06:12,420
Silence.

120
00:06:25,630 --> 00:06:28,130
Nhia, Khia. Stop tormenting the slave.

121
00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:30,040
It will affect your skills on the battlefield.

122
00:06:30,460 --> 00:06:34,580
Muste. Drop the judgmental mindset
before it conflicts with your duty.

123
00:06:35,210 --> 00:06:36,500
Sharphat?

124
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:37,670
You got it.

125
00:06:44,210 --> 00:06:47,420
Nhia, Khia. Get rid of the body.

126
00:06:47,630 --> 00:06:50,040
Muste. You have a mission to complete.

127
00:06:50,380 --> 00:06:51,330
Roger!

128
00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:52,170
Roger.

129
00:06:53,540 --> 00:06:55,880
Sorry to spook you, cutie.

130
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:58,330
You can go back to the room now.

131
00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:59,630
Yessir!

132
00:06:59,630 --> 00:07:01,210
P-please pardon me!

133
00:07:01,210 --> 00:07:02,630
Catch ya later.

134
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:03,830
Bye-bye.

135
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,920
Sharphat.

136
00:07:06,830 --> 00:07:09,750
You best keep your flings with humans to a minimum.

137
00:07:10,290 --> 00:07:12,420
Worried about polluting our blood?

138
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,670
History shows that we elves are the race that
has incorporated the most Maestro blood.

139
00:07:19,290 --> 00:07:22,000
And the White Knights are
comprised solely of Submaestros,

140
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
who have awakened the power flowing in that blood.

141
00:07:25,210 --> 00:07:29,040
Sure, but everyone aside from
Muste has hit their level cap.

142
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,290
Precisely my point.

143
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:31,290
Huh?

144
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:34,670
The world hasn't seen a new Maestro
for several millennia now.

145
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,040
So, don't do anything to pollute blood that
is becoming increasingly hard to come by.

146
00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:41,670
I would never make a half-breed!

147
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:44,040
This is just a hobby, nothing more!

148
00:07:44,290 --> 00:07:49,670
I love watching human women get all excited when
they think they have a shot with an elf like me.

149
00:07:50,130 --> 00:07:54,210
And the desperate lengths they go to keep me from
getting bored with them is the peak of hilarity!

150
00:07:54,380 --> 00:07:56,080
Just disgusting, huh, Nhia?

151
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,790
Total creepo, Khia.

152
00:07:59,290 --> 00:08:02,960
Anyways, the novelty is starting to wear off,
so I'll off her soon.

153
00:08:03,290 --> 00:08:06,170
The real thrill comes from
stabbing them in the back, anyways!

154
00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:08,500
You wanna have a go, Captain?

155
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:09,960
No, I'll pass.

156
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,210
Royal orders regarding Kyto's mess will come soon.

157
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:16,880
He was a member of the knighthood,
no matter how lousy.

158
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:19,830
So we have a duty to settle things.

159
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,540
This can't happen again.

160
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,330
Anyone who dares dirty the name
of our Queen must pay for it dearly.

161
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,830
Yessir.

162
00:09:02,670 --> 00:09:06,000
And now, the stage has been set.

163
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,670
What is that?

164
00:09:11,210 --> 00:09:12,500
A giant tower?

165
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:16,080
Is that where Light's waiting...?

166
00:09:33,250 --> 00:09:36,500
What the hell? Why are there monsters here?!

167
00:09:47,130 --> 00:09:49,250
What do you mean you're out of stock?!

168
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:54,330
You must've heard the news. Monsters have shown up
along the roads and they've cut off all deliveries!

169
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,420
People are saying it's because
of that big tower. Is that true?

170
00:09:58,710 --> 00:10:03,170
I heard the Queendom's forces are
investigating it now, but they're short-handed.

171
00:10:03,460 --> 00:10:06,790
Oh, that explains why they posted
a huge reward just for information!

172
00:10:07,290 --> 00:10:10,290
I'm not getting anywhere near it. I value my life more.

173
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:12,330
It's causing quite the buzz, huh?

174
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:15,040
I'm betting this will earn us another rank up!

175
00:10:15,630 --> 00:10:17,420
Yo. Babe alert at 12 o'clock.

176
00:10:17,420 --> 00:10:19,500
She's almost too hot for a human.

177
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:21,250
Can't say no to an ass like that.

178
00:10:21,250 --> 00:10:22,250
Damn straight.

179
00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:23,960
Hey, sweet cheeks!

180
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,830
You wanna party up with us?

181
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,540
It'll be worth your time. We're over level 150, y'know.

182
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,080
Elves don't always hang with humans.
Consider yourself lucky, babe!

183
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:38,040
Just kiss the golden eyesore
and tiny tot with you goodbye.

184
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:42,000
Blighters don't know shite from clay. How very sad.

185
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,790
So you're coming, right?

186
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:47,500
We would hate to see you wasted on these losers.

187
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:48,460
Shove off.

188
00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:49,170
Huh?

189
00:10:49,580 --> 00:10:53,290
Lord Dark is the only master I need.
You two aren't worth my time.

190
00:10:53,710 --> 00:10:57,920
My apologies. She's an irreplaceable
member of our group, you see.

191
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,750
Could you please leave her be?

192
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,920
Oh, Lord Dark!

193
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:02,920
Nobody asked you, brat!

194
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,960
Release. Thunder Arrow.
Nobody asked you, brat!

195
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:04,580
Release. Thunder Arrow.

196
00:11:08,750 --> 00:11:11,040
Whoa. Did he cast that with no incantation?

197
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,790
Yeah...

198
00:11:12,170 --> 00:11:14,170
Oh snap! I think that's the Black Motley!

199
00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:15,540
Seriously?

200
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,580
They must've come here from Dagas.

201
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,500
If you'll please excuse us.

202
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,290
I bet those guys will end up claiming the whole bounty...

203
00:11:22,290 --> 00:11:23,330
Welp, I'm out.
I bet those guys will end up claiming the whole bounty...

204
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,130
Just as planned, eh, old chap?

205
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,580
Now word of us will spread even more.

206
00:11:30,210 --> 00:11:33,040
I hope things are going just
as well for Aoyuki and the others.

207
00:11:34,330 --> 00:11:36,710
C'mon! Quit wasting our time!

208
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:39,380
Pick up the pace! Or we'll give you another beating!

209
00:11:39,380 --> 00:11:44,920
This doesn't add up. How is it possible for high level
monsters to get scared and wander so far from home?

210
00:11:45,290 --> 00:11:47,460
Must be something crazy further in the forest.

211
00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:50,580
Reward money is good and all,
but doesn't this seem kinda risky?

212
00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:52,130
Don't be such a wuss.

213
00:11:52,210 --> 00:11:55,380
Worse case scenario, we just use
the human for bait and make our escape.

214
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:58,290
We can score some info while the monsters feed on her.

215
00:11:58,290 --> 00:11:59,170
Good point.

216
00:11:59,170 --> 00:12:00,420
You really thought this through!

217
00:12:00,580 --> 00:12:04,920
Human brats never sell for much.
They're best used as fodder.

218
00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:11,500
Get off your ass, dammit! Don't make me come kick you!

219
00:12:12,290 --> 00:12:13,460
I'm sorry!

220
00:12:14,380 --> 00:12:17,790
Damn slaves, always trying to sneak in little breaks.

221
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,960
Humans are beyond worthless.

222
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,830
Huh?

223
00:13:02,130 --> 00:13:04,170
Huh? It's not going to eat me?

224
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,420
Well, I'll be damned!

225
00:13:07,580 --> 00:13:11,380
Ain't we lucky? Didn't expect
to make a big score out here!

226
00:13:11,540 --> 00:13:15,380
Oh no. Just when I thought the nightmare was over!

227
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,830
We can't have you looking all dirty and neglected, girlie!

228
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:23,170
Huh?

229
00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:26,420
My wounds are healing?

230
00:13:27,170 --> 00:13:29,380
Wait, was that a potion?

231
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,420
But why did you use it on me?

232
00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:34,040
A'ight. Dibs on making her shoes!

233
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,710
Cool, I'll get her a walking stick!

234
00:13:35,710 --> 00:13:37,420
Do you wanna drink some water first?

235
00:13:37,580 --> 00:13:38,830
Uhh...

236
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,960
Reporting in. We've rescued another one.

237
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:42,330
We'll get you some grub later, okay?

238
00:13:42,330 --> 00:13:43,960
So, following the usual gameplan...
We'll get you some grub later, okay?

239
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,290
So, following the usual gameplan...

240
00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:46,290
I'll call you back after we reach safe haven.

241
00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:47,250
Mewr.

242
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,330
Myah!

243
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,380
How are things going?

244
00:13:51,710 --> 00:13:52,500
Mew.

245
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,960
This is the first time since we've come to the surface

246
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,420
that you've had to control multiple
monsters simultaneously, right?

247
00:13:57,540 --> 00:13:58,380
Mewr.

248
00:13:58,710 --> 00:14:01,130
And it's not giving you any trouble?

249
00:14:01,290 --> 00:14:02,380
Meow.

250
00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:05,540
I take it you're saying that things are going just fine?

251
00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:06,710
Myah!

252
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:11,790
His Blessedness also ordered you to dispose
of any interlopers who might ruin the plan.

253
00:14:11,790 --> 00:14:14,960
You're sure everything is okay on that front, as well?

254
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,830
Mewp.

255
00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:18,710
Will things really go smoothly?

256
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,880
I imagine this is all meant to be a litmus test of
our moral standards and emotional intelligence.

257
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,960
There is a non-zero chance of fatal error.
Someone could misjudge right from wrong.

258
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:35,790
Should I go ahead and issue a warning
to everyone aside from Aoyuki?

259
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:39,750
Except that would ultimately go against
the wishes of His Blessedness...

260
00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:41,380
Do not concern yourself.

261
00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:47,420
Given that the very purpose of our existence
is to loyally serve Blessed Lord Light,

262
00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:52,540
don't you think we should make every effort
to prop him up by understanding his intentions?

263
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,080
We need not be anything more than
what Master Light expects us to be.

264
00:14:59,380 --> 00:15:01,630
We live and fight for him.

265
00:15:01,630 --> 00:15:07,210
Soothe him, revere him, wait upon him,
love him, adore him, stand by him,

266
00:15:07,210 --> 00:15:10,540
become his sword and shield, kill and die for him,

267
00:15:10,540 --> 00:15:12,580
blaze and burn to ashes for him.

268
00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:15,540
All we need to think about is being useful.

269
00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:18,380
Anything beyond that is irrelevant and profane.

270
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:22,250
So you're content with being a mere pet?

271
00:15:22,250 --> 00:15:24,000
I can't even begin to comprehend that.

272
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,380
Nor can I understand your point of view.

273
00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:30,420
Just seeing you try to make sense
of the will of our almighty god

274
00:15:30,420 --> 00:15:32,040
makes me want to kill you.

275
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:35,420
Do you really think you stand a chance against me?

276
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,830
We could easily find out the answer.

277
00:15:38,210 --> 00:15:42,130
It would even make a good empirical study on
what happens when two people of our level crash.

278
00:15:43,750 --> 00:15:46,080
I must say, you have poor taste in jokes.

279
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,460
Refuse to abide by Master Light's wishes
and I'll end you right now.

280
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,580
Come in, Lady Aoyuki!

281
00:15:59,580 --> 00:16:00,880
Mew.

282
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:02,880
We just arrived.

283
00:16:03,290 --> 00:16:04,000
Myah!

284
00:16:05,170 --> 00:16:08,420
The delivery is complete. There were no problems.

285
00:16:09,130 --> 00:16:10,580
Look after her, y'hear!

286
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,630
Yes, of course.

287
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,630
Thank you for everything!

288
00:16:14,630 --> 00:16:16,630
Aw, don't mention it.

289
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:18,210
You'll be all right now.

290
00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:20,080
Do your part around here, okay?

291
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:21,540
Right!

292
00:16:22,330 --> 00:16:24,670
It seems my concerns were unwarranted.

293
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,080
Mewph.

294
00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:30,790
This turned out to be a worthwhile conversation.
I'm glad I got a peek into your true thoughts.

295
00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:31,960
Myah!

296
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,920
Those bastards. How heartless can they be?

297
00:16:35,210 --> 00:16:38,880
You said it! Using humans as fodder
like that is totally barbaric!

298
00:16:39,210 --> 00:16:42,080
There's gotta be a reason behind it.
How else could it get this bad?

299
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080
All the other races have just lost their moral fiber, man.

300
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,080
Enough chitchat.

301
00:16:47,460 --> 00:16:50,420
Listen up! We leave at the break of dawn!

302
00:16:50,830 --> 00:16:53,040
Nobody better be late! Hear me?!

303
00:16:53,290 --> 00:16:54,460
Loud n' clear, boss!

304
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,460
What am I going to do?

305
00:16:57,830 --> 00:17:01,000
There are monsters over level 1000
in the forest around the tower.

306
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:03,920
It's impossible to reach it on my own.

307
00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:09,540
But if I ask for help from the White Knights,
they'll figure out that Light is still alive.

308
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,210
I have to find a way into that tower, no matter what.

309
00:17:14,750 --> 00:17:19,040
Then I need to put the final nail
in the coffin of that stupid little brat.

310
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:21,880
Just you wait, Light!

311
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,250
We should send in the White Knights with utmost haste.

312
00:17:27,580 --> 00:17:30,040
The enemy's goals and force strength are unknown.

313
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,330
So, dispatching our most elite warriors to quash
this threat before any harm comes to the public

314
00:17:34,330 --> 00:17:36,630
is the most effective course of action we can take.

315
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,170
What is your opinion as captain of the knights, Sir Hardy?

316
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:48,580
I deeply respect the fact that you wish to put
the safety of the people above all else, Mr. Chancellor.

317
00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:49,500
Great, then-

318
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:50,380
However...

319
00:17:51,210 --> 00:17:55,580
I'm afraid that your proposition forces me
to question whether you're of sound mind.

320
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,880
That's interesting, because your response
makes me question the same of you.

321
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,460
We lack any sort of detailed intelligence,
yet you wish to dispatch the White Knights.

322
00:18:04,460 --> 00:18:06,830
That's akin to using a sacred blade
to dig a hole in the dirt.

323
00:18:07,130 --> 00:18:09,540
I'd argue that a dull knife is more suited to the job.

324
00:18:10,420 --> 00:18:12,170
For no matter how sharp the blade,

325
00:18:12,170 --> 00:18:14,420
it cannot cut anything when it fails to hit the target.

326
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,460
Here we go again...

327
00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:20,880
The leader of the reformists butting heads
with the ultra-conservative Captain Hardy.

328
00:18:21,170 --> 00:18:23,880
Only one person can stop this argument...

329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:29,420
I am inclined to agree with the captain
of the knights on this matter.

330
00:18:30,420 --> 00:18:32,920
As Queen Lif, ruler of the Elven Queendom,

331
00:18:33,670 --> 00:18:35,790
I hereby order you.

332
00:18:36,290 --> 00:18:38,130
Offer even more reward money.

333
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:43,080
Let the monarchy and its people unite
to gather intelligence on this mysterious giant tower.

334
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,080
Yes, Your Majesty.

335
00:18:50,170 --> 00:18:51,500
Damn lap dog.

336
00:18:59,290 --> 00:19:01,880
I greatly appreciate you taking my side back there...

337
00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:03,290
Mother.

338
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,460
Thank you.

339
00:19:06,710 --> 00:19:10,710
Now, I don't have to waste my men on
a foolish plan concocted by a rank amateur.

340
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:16,670
Oh, Hardy-Wardy, my sweet little boy.
You know that I would never put you in harm's way.

341
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,040
That chancellor is quite the nuisance.

342
00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:23,580
The emergence of this giant tower and
all his urgency to do something about it

343
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,580
is nothing more than another
move in his game of politics.

344
00:19:27,130 --> 00:19:28,380
Oh my, how dreadful!

345
00:19:28,670 --> 00:19:33,290
I almost feel bad for the poor chancellor. Nothing is
worse than being on your bad side, snookums.

346
00:19:33,670 --> 00:19:36,130
It's no laughing matter, Mother.

347
00:19:36,670 --> 00:19:41,130
The chancellor is certainly biding his time
for an opportunity to abolish the monarchy.

348
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,630
Well, he poses no threat as long as I have
my gallant Hardy-Wardy around to protect me, right?

349
00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:49,080
The real problem here is that strange tower.

350
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:52,420
If it serves as the first domino in a line
that threatens to topple our empire,

351
00:19:52,420 --> 00:19:54,500
then it will be most cumbersome to deal with.

352
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:57,000
Are you suggesting what I think you are?

353
00:19:57,790 --> 00:19:59,960
The second coming of the Archfiend?

354
00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:07,670
I'm confident the Archfiend would be vanquished
through the power of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

355
00:20:08,460 --> 00:20:10,290
But it would give rise to something else...

356
00:20:10,830 --> 00:20:14,460
A Hero, who can only be born from the human race. Yes?

357
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,790
Hopefully, we can make the humans
go extinct before then.

358
00:20:18,290 --> 00:20:22,040
The rest of the world might turn against us
if we went that far.

359
00:20:22,750 --> 00:20:26,380
There is a good chance that such
a Hero would also be a Maestro.

360
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:29,080
Then, we must either kill them or win them over.

361
00:20:29,630 --> 00:20:31,420
Lest we face annihilation.

362
00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:36,000
This reminds me, didn't a potential
Maestro pop up some time ago?

363
00:20:36,460 --> 00:20:40,630
The last I heard, they turned out
to be a dud and were eliminated.

364
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:41,960
What of it?

365
00:20:42,380 --> 00:20:43,170
Nothing.

366
00:20:43,170 --> 00:20:46,880
But frankly, I wish I could have been
the one who undertook that duty.

367
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,750
Oh, snookums! You're captain of the knights.
Grunt work like that is below you.

368
00:20:52,170 --> 00:20:53,630
I'm merely speaking my mind.

369
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:57,790
Humans are pests that bring disaster to our world.

370
00:20:58,210 --> 00:21:00,290
They have no right to live.

371
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,830
It would have been nice to prove that
by showing them the sharp end of my sword.

372
00:21:08,540 --> 00:21:12,380
Attention! Line up over here if you want
to apply for the Tower Scouting quest!

373
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,580
A guild branch office, taverns, item shops...

374
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,580
This place has it all.

375
00:21:18,580 --> 00:21:20,040
Just like a funfair, innit?

376
00:21:21,170 --> 00:21:22,630
That's the Black Motely, right?

377
00:21:22,630 --> 00:21:24,210
Yeah, no surprise they'd come.

378
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:26,170
Milord, we have trouble.

379
00:21:26,670 --> 00:21:28,380
Those two from the other day, right?

380
00:21:29,250 --> 00:21:31,830
They're staring bloody daggers at us, wot.

381
00:21:32,330 --> 00:21:34,040
Annoying little pricks.

382
00:21:34,330 --> 00:21:36,130
Maybe I shouldn't have gone so hard on them.

383
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:38,500
I recognize that voice...

384
00:21:39,170 --> 00:21:40,830
You there! Human child!

385
00:21:42,540 --> 00:21:43,630
Lord Dark?

386
00:21:43,630 --> 00:21:44,790
What's the matter, old chap?

387
00:21:45,130 --> 00:21:46,130
That's Sasha.

388
00:21:47,290 --> 00:21:49,790
Stay calm and don't do anything, you two.

389
00:21:50,250 --> 00:21:51,790
Show me your face!

390
00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:55,040
Are you talking to me, miss?

391
00:21:56,170 --> 00:21:59,040
Take that ridiculous mask off! Let me see your face!

392
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Lord Dark doesn't take orders from anybody!

393
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,750
Shut up, filthy human!

394
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,290
I'm very sorry, but I wear this mask
to hide awful burns on my face.

395
00:22:07,290 --> 00:22:09,080
It's not something I like to show people.

396
00:22:09,290 --> 00:22:12,130
I don't care! I told you to take it off!

397
00:22:32,670 --> 00:22:39,170
