2
00:00:05,021 --> 00:00:08,441
Preposterous! We could never
accept peace with the elves!

3
00:00:08,561 --> 00:00:13,061
Yes, well, the letter they sent us
was asking for a "return to diplomacy."

4
00:00:13,271 --> 00:00:17,061
They gave it up first
when they exiled our people from the country!

5
00:00:17,401 --> 00:00:19,901
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">This is just another one of their devious schemes.</font>

6
00:00:20,101 --> 00:00:25,521
Exactly. All they want is to keep us tame and controlled 
before we reclaim too much of our power!

7
00:00:26,231 --> 00:00:28,941
We will only be giving them
an opportunity to oppress us further.

8
00:00:28,941 --> 00:00:30,191
Perhaps, but...

9
00:00:35,811 --> 00:00:37,061
Your Grace.

10
00:00:37,691 --> 00:00:38,811
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">Shh.</font>

11
00:00:40,851 --> 00:00:45,151
Aw, Prince Olbaas. He's fast asleep.

12
00:00:45,651 --> 00:00:51,601
I thought that attending the council of elders
would help mold him into the future leader of our people,

13
00:00:52,151 --> 00:00:53,771
but it just wore him out.

14
00:00:54,981 --> 00:00:56,981
I'll carry him to his chambers.

15
00:00:57,481 --> 00:00:58,061
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">Thanks.</font>

16
00:01:22,151 --> 00:01:23,651
Well, well, well...

17
00:01:23,651 --> 00:01:26,981
Skipping out on saying goodbye to the family, are we?

18
00:01:27,521 --> 00:01:29,311
What would your kid think?

19
00:01:30,021 --> 00:01:31,271
It makes no difference.

20
00:01:31,271 --> 00:01:34,441
Hmm. I can tell that your heart is set on this.

21
00:01:34,731 --> 00:01:35,731
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">Of course.</font>

22
00:01:36,601 --> 00:01:38,271
I get power out of this deal, right?

23
00:01:38,851 --> 00:01:41,311
Enough power to make my dream a reality.

24
00:01:41,691 --> 00:01:42,981
Absolutely.

25
00:01:44,151 --> 00:01:45,851
Just as promised.

<b>{\an7}EPISODE 24: EXTRA SKILL</b>

27
00:03:36,601 --> 00:03:38,191
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">{\an8}I haven't had elven food in ages!</font>

28
00:03:38,351 --> 00:03:39,441
It's the best!

29
00:03:40,021 --> 00:03:45,351
Oh really? You mean you haven't been back here
since you got those MP recovery rings?

30
00:03:45,351 --> 00:03:46,271
That's right.

31
00:03:46,601 --> 00:03:50,481
I earned an invite to Rohzenheim
after I saved the elven army from a tough spot.

32
00:03:50,901 --> 00:03:53,151
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">We still appreciate what you did back then.</font>

33
00:03:53,401 --> 00:03:55,811
And we thank you for helping us again now.

34
00:03:55,941 --> 00:03:57,151
Don't mention it!

35
00:03:57,401 --> 00:04:01,651
I'm only here as a rental because some sly dog
pulled a bunch of strings, after all.

36
00:04:03,561 --> 00:04:06,521
This guy, I swear. What kinda hero holds a grudge?

37
00:04:07,311 --> 00:04:11,191
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">I was worried when I first heard
they had dispatched you all to Rohzenheim.

38
00:04:11,191 --> 00:04:12,401
Why is that?

39
00:04:12,731 --> 00:04:15,901
Because I already gauged your strength
at the Academy tournament.

40
00:04:16,191 --> 00:04:20,481
I'm shocked you didn't lose any party members
with a Sword Lord as your only powerhouse.

41
00:04:20,481 --> 00:04:24,021
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">What is your typical party like, Sir Helmios?</font>

42
00:04:24,351 --> 00:04:26,191
I have about 10 members.

43
00:04:26,731 --> 00:04:30,731
They're primarily Greater Saints,
Archwizards, and Sword Lords.

44
00:04:31,151 --> 00:04:32,771
Talk about the ultimate party!

45
00:04:33,021 --> 00:04:35,691
So it's mostly built around 3-star classes.

46
00:04:36,151 --> 00:04:40,771
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">That's surprising. I always assumed
the Hero's party had a lot more people in it.

47
00:04:41,061 --> 00:04:45,771
Personally, I find it easier and more efficient
to work with a smaller group of elite warriors.

48
00:04:46,191 --> 00:04:50,271
Even if someone dies, the Empire
has a system in place to dispatch a replacement.

49
00:04:50,271 --> 00:04:51,981
A replacement...?

50
00:04:52,691 --> 00:04:54,441
<font face="Alte Haas Grotesk" size="75">They die in battle, huh?</font>

51
00:04:54,851 --> 00:04:57,771
Things must be just as bad
on the frontlines in the Empire.

52
00:04:58,151 --> 00:05:01,271
Well, I was able to help stabilize
most of the battles there.
