L.O.R.D. Critical World

Episode 5

Don’t try to play tricks.

You should not possess a Halidom.

I don’t care what you have in your hand.

If you didn’t save Dream Weaver,

then no more trash talk.

Water Sprite showed up again.

Lucky that we intervened at the early stage

so that no further damage was caused to the villagers.

Then why are you still upset?

I’m not upset.

But you look worried.

Legend has it

that the world was ruled by the Monsters thousands of years ago.

It took the Heavenly Emperor almost a century

to finally defeat Monster Origin,

the chief of all monsters

and free all human beings.

But Monster Origin

was not annihilated.

His soul was still there,

waiting for reincarnation.

Will he make it?

He has not been spotted

for the past thousands of years.

But recently,

weird things keep happening. That might be a sign.

Now all Magicians

are following the Silver Priest’s advice

to kill all Monsters,

be it the harmless ones

or the devil ones.

They want to eradicate

all chances for the demon to come back.

Unfortunately,

Water Sprite breaks the seal today

and shows up again.

How can I not be worried?

Now show me the water.

I’m teaching you how to seal Water Sprite.

Here you are.

It’s just a bit of water.

It won’t matter.

Lord,

actually…

you don’t need to be worried.

It’s not a sign of Monster Origin’s coming back.

Actually…

Water Sprite…

might be…

released by me.

What?!

On the day you taught me how to seal it,

I secretly kept

some water for myself.

I put it in my liquor pot.

But the pot then fell off

and the water was gone.

There was nothing on the floor…

Kynil!

What you’ve done is outrageous!

How dare you still call yourself my disciple!

You’ve

brought shame on all Magicians!

I will execute you today

on behalf of the Silver Priest

for your unforgivable sin!

Lord! Please! Please!

Lord! Please pardon me!

You said you’d protect me,

that you’d not kill me.

Lord! Please!

Please!

I never wanted to hurt the villagers.

I told you before

that Water Sprite would come back if not sealed.

You even witnessed

how people were attacked by this evil monster!

How dare you…

I’m sorry!

I’m so sorry.

I’ve really made a terrible mistake.

I know I’m not perfect.

I’m superficial,

I do things for fun.

I’m too curious.

But I never want to hurt anyone.

I felt terribly sorry

on my way back here.

It was more terrible than when my boss deducted my money

But luckily you saved them

and prevented a disaster.

If what happened in Blessings Town happens here…

Yin Chen.

I’m sorry.

I don’t want to

hear your apologies anymore.

I want to be a good disciple of yours

and protect others

just like you.

Because you are different.

Different from others,

from anyone I’ve met before.

I hope that in the future…

Go on.

You can approve of me.

Then try your best.

I’ll try my best

to make you

proud.

So foggy.

It must be a certain disciple.

Did Lotus come out from the Mound?

I thought Ryen City would be smaller,

and less fun.

It’s now their annual fete for the God of Sea.

This year is full of dreadful disasters.

So they take the fete even more seriously than usual

in order to pray for peace.

Stop it.

Why?

See the crowd here?

Behave yourself.

Don’t draw attention.

What can I do?

I just can’t help myself.

A fountain!

Look at the fountain!

It is maintained by the Power

to provide drinking water for the people here.

I can drink it then!

Wait!

Guess what it tastes like first.

What else can water taste like?

Bitter?

Gosh! Why it’s so bitter?

The Power in it

makes it taste like

whatever you ask for.

Unbelievable!

Then, I want…

glutinous rice wine with the flavor of cherry blossom.

I did it!

I did it!

Try it, try it!

No, thanks.

Well, it’s not as tasty as my own wine,

but it’s good anyway.

Have a try! No!

It’s good, isn’t it?

You created such complicated flavor in a short time…

Just tell me if you like it or not!

Let’s go.

Welcome, sir.

What can I do for you, sir?

We need a twin room.

Of course. And the price is…

That’s unreasonable!

We are feting the God of Sea now.

Besides, we were stricken by several disasters.

Everything is pricy now.

You see,

this is just a standard price for all rooms.

You won’t find a cheaper room anywhere.

Buddy,

are you sure this is

the standard price for all rooms?

I’m all telling you the truth, sir.

Very well.

Then I want the fourth one on the left side on the third floor.

Lord.

Lord.

How do you like this room?

It’s good indeed.

But there’s only one bed.

Yes, I know.

But this

is the best room in the city.

You are a Lord. You deserve the bed.

And I will sleep on the floor.

They offered an unreasonable price.

Then I should take the best room they have.

How do I know this is the best room, you may ask?

Because I once worked in a hotel.

A lot of hidden rules there.

To estimate a room,

you have to check its windows and doors…

Finished yet?

Take this.

What’s this?

How do I eat it?

It’s not edible.

This is the Golden Fruit.

Take one piece

and drop its juice into your eyes.

What happened?

It’s gorgeous!

This is the Power

scattered in the air.

It’s from the Magicians, the Halidoms, the Beasts,

or any creature with the Power

I have got a Beast now.

Then when

will I have my own Halidom?

You will find your Halidom

when you enter the Mound.

The Mound?

What’s that?

Where is it? Can we go there now?

Lord.

There’s a for-a-spouse joust!

Lord,

can I have one day off

before we leave for the Mound?

Sure.

But don’t get yourself into trouble.

I have things to do.

See you later.

Thank you!

Bye, then.

Hey, buddy.

What are they doing?

You don’t live here, don’t you?

This is a for-a-spouse joust for Princess Rosemary.

Rosemary…

What a nice name.

But why does she choose her spouse in this way?

Is she too ugly to get married?

I would not say so, buddy.

Rumor has it that

Princess Rosemary

is now 16.

But weirdly,

she insists on finding a husband from the folks.

This joust, among other activities,

is added specially

to this year’s fete.

A husband from the folks?

But participants are from all walks of life.

Whoever wins the competition

will marry her?

What if

the winner

is a woman?

Well, well, well.

There must be heroes among the young men here.

He who dares to try is already a hero.

What matters is not the result

but the courage to try.

Hey, bro,

could you please explain the rules again?

You got it.

This is a joust for a spouse.

The rule is simple.

You gotta win the fight against your rival,

climb up to the top and get the Token of Marriage.

We’ve designed special activities

for this year’s fete.

Apart from this joust,

ten more

different competitions are waiting for you.

The winner of each competition

will get a Token of Marriage.

The first man to win seven Tokens

might have the privilege

to marry Princess Rosemary.

But, remember:

this civil man should not possess the Power,

nor the ability to perform the Magic.

Now, guys, come and show your chivalry!

Hey! Don’t swarm to the stage!

One by one! One by one!

OK, I’ll leave it to you.

Take care! Take care!

Inability to perform the Magic?

What if a man hides this ability away?

The Princess has excellent Power.

She can definitely tell whether a man

has that power or not.

She’s looking for a civil man

when she herself has the Power.

What a bully!

Shush!

You don’t wanna get caught by the people working for her, do you?

Cunning.

Congratulations!

You’ve won the joust.

Guards!

Bring him to the Princess’s

to wait for the next competition.

I’m not taking part in any competition!

Get him!

Hurry up!

Get him!

It’s my pleasure to see you here in HIC, Lord.

What can I do for you?

Did Ragnarok showed up

at the suburbs of Ryen recently?

Just a moment, please.

Go!

Go!

This way!

Stop! You!

Follow me!

Stop!

He’s there!

Hurry up!

Stop!

That way!

Hurry up!

Are you a Magician?

Well…

Is it that obvious?

I’ve done my best. But my Power

is too strong to hide.

Are you the guy who

tried to win the Token of Marriage just now?

What can a fortune-teller do for you?

Go back to marry your Princess.

I don’t want to marry her.

I did so to prevent

those unqualified men

from getting her.

Well,

I think you are quite qualified.

Nonsense!

It’s your loss

that you don’t marry her.

I’m interested in this marriage.

Then go for the Token.

You will win a huge amount of money,

plus a beautiful, intelligent

fairy-like princess.

So why not?

Who are you?

Why do you want me to do this?

Call me Childe VI.

And you are?

Kynil.

Kynil.

Get it.

It’s Specter!

Did I receive a Red Order?

Specter.

Show yourself.

What do you want from me?

Have a guess.

You may be the Lord of Slaughter,

but you can’t kill the Beasts at will.

You will be overwhelmed by their rebellion.

I expected you

to use your power to make them serve you.

That never happened. So here I am.

Well,

how do you feel now?

Nervous? And excited as well?

You do have a

villainous foible.

What a mild lord!

You don’t fight even when you are in danger.

Boring!

But this time,

you have no choice but play the game with me.

Why don’t you eat some? On diet?

Not hungry.

Gosh, you eat like a horse.

This is not for me.

I can’t eat them all.

For whom then?

My…

My friend.

A woman? A man.

Why?

Interested in him?

Nonsense.

This friend of mine is a piece of art.

He behaves with grace and elegance.

His charming appearance comes along with his talent and wisdom.

So,

buddy,

are you interested now?

Look at your face.

You are a man.

So am I.

Why did you ask me to get the Token

when you can get it yourself?

Are you planning

to poison me

after I have the Token in hand

and take it away?

You flirty man!

The Princess may not think highly of you.

How do you know?

You are not her.

I say

she’s waiting for me to get the Tokens.

Silly.

Wait for me, Childe VI.

I haven’t finished yet.

Childe VI.

Hey, there’s a shop. Let’s take a look.

I’m going to see the Princess,

so I need decent clothes

to match her beauty.

With all your efforts for better appearance,

the princess will still not bother to look at you

if you have bad personalities.

Maybe she dares not look at me

for fear that I may see her through?

Enough talk.

Now go and get the Tokens.

Buy one get one free!

Really?

Here come two charming gentlemen!

Welcome.

Check it out.

We have all kinds of delicate clothes and accessories.

Nice choice!

It will help accentuate

your aura of elegance,

making you even more extraordinary.

Good. I’ll take it.

He’ll pay.

Sir,

you are with him, right?

You can now buy one and get one free.

Would you like to choose one for yourself?

Really? Yes.

I’m sorry, Lord.

One of the Four Greatest Beasts did show up.

But I’m not sure

whether it’s Ragnarok.

Is there any Lord on mission nearby?

Sorry, Lord.

You cannot access

the answer to this level of questions.

I should not offer you any information.

Level II Disciple Shen Yin.

How can I help you?

I received a Red Order that required me to kill Lotus, the Level V Disciple.

The thing is, she’s already got

a Halidom with her.

Why can she still enter the Mound?

I’m afraid

this is a question

to be answered directly by the Level IV Lord Reya

and I have no more to offer.

Could you please tell me

where she is now?

I don’t know.

But

the HIC

is hunting for a fugitive traitor.

If the traitor is caught,

Lord Reya herself will come to execute him.

If so, it won’t take long before she arrives in Ryen.

OK.

Then I’ll be waiting for her in Ryen.

What’s wrong with you?

Why were you shy like a little girl?

Excuse me?

Am I the one who’s like a little girl?

Stop talking.

Go get the Tokens now!

Impossible.

This is my first day here in Ryen.

I think I almost get lost.

Then follow my instructions!

Go, go, go!

This is a quiz.

Question:

The Princess’s husband should not be…

A woman.

Wrong!

Should not be able to…

to…

not be able to…

fall down from the column when fighting for the Token.

Out!

This is an archery competition.

Now, shoot.

Out!

This is a fortune-telling competition.

Tell me,

my friend,

what do you see?

I see…

I see three persons

in white,

wearing white hats,

singing and dancing hand-in-hand.

Out!

Wait! Wait!

You hurt me!

Did you lose the competitions on purpose?

Of course not.

I’ve done my best.

If you keep messing things up,

some strange guy may get

all the Tokens.

And the Princess will be doomed! Doomed! Doomed!

Why do you care?

None of your business!

None of your business!

None of your business!

Shut up!

Wait for me right here.

Why should I?

Don’t expect me to wait for you.

I’ve had a long day with you.

I knew you are the Princess from the very beginning!

Who’s there?

Why do I receive a Red Order?

Lotus is in danger, too!

You’re back.

What can you tell?

Everything.

Then tell me

what’s gonna happen to me.

There will be a…

love story.

Why didn’t you wait for me?

Take it.

This is for you.

What’s going on?

Stomachache.

I think I ate too much just now.

What tricks are you playing?

Tricks? No.

I do feel like going to toilet!

Show some mercy, please.

You wanna go with me?

Gosh! I can’t hold it anymore!

Here comes the Princess’s husband!

Here comes the Princess’s husband!

Hey.

Am I embarrassing you?

Well, I’m not surprised at all.

You are in fabulous robe.

And look at me

wearing such pathetic linen clothes.

They don’t allow me to marry a Magician.

Then I must marry a Magician!

Your Highness.

Here comes Mr. Kynil.

Your Highness.

We bring Mr. Kynil back to you.

You may leave.

We should leave.

You rose up to all challenges

and finally managed to get all the Tokens.

I’m quite touched by your sincerity.

Well,

I have to admit that you are a handsome young man,

but I still don’t think you deserve me.

You disagree?

Well, I’m not sure whether I should condescend to marry you.

You SHOULD feel privileged

to marry the Princess of Xuancang

Childe…

Your Highness.

Remember the brotherhood we share?

Then how could you do this to me?

I’ve never regarded you as my brother.

Tell me!

When did you know I’m the Princess?

Your Highness,

have you look at yourself

in the mirror?

Do you know

how pretty and adorable you are?

How dare you!

You found out that I’m a girl a long time ago

but you still…

Still what?

I’ve been treating you with courtesy!

You’ve been trying to take advantages of me.

You do me wrong!

I wouldn’t have known that being an onlooker

can get myself a wife.

Don’t flatter yourself.

You think I’m desperate to marry you?

It’s just because disasters keep happening to Ryen

and I want to bring good luck

to the City by getting married.

What a great news!

You don’t want to marry me and I don’t want to marry you.

Problem solved!

Hey!

I’ve decided to marry you despite your humble background.

Now,

drink the betrothal wine

and we are engaged.

Wait!

This is overwhelming!

Let’s calm down and talk.

Could you please release me?

Never!

Don’t you ever try to resist.

Everyone in Ryen

saw you with my Tokens of Marriage.

From now on,

you’ll be staying in my place.

If you behave well,

you’ll live in a fairytale.

Otherwise…
