We do not have a lot of time to spare, so I will be as forthright as I can. [k] ＠Sion As you know, it has been about three weeks since the shocking operation to eliminate Limbo. [k] ＠Sion In that time, Novum Chaldea has been tuning up the Storm Border and devising plans of attack for the remaining Sixth and Seventh Lostbelts. [k] ＠Sion That said, as I have told you all before, I saw no need to infiltrate Britain, the site of the Sixth Lostbelt...

The Tree of Emptiness that helped establish the British Lostbelt was used to burn down the Tree of Emptiness in Olympus. [k] ＠Holmes As further proof, we have not observed any magical energy readings associated with the Trees of Emptiness coming from Britain since then. [k] ＠Holmes As such, the British Lostbelt should disappear on its own, much like the Chinese one did...or so we thought. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] ？2：Because Britain's seriously dangerous.

[k] ＠Holmes Da Vinci and Captain Nemo are on the Storm Border as we speak, getting it ready to launch. [k] ＠Holmes Up till now, we have been using the Shadow Border to infiltrate the Lostbelts via Void Space... [k] ＠Holmes ...but this sudden development has left us without the time we need to prepare. [k] ＠Holmes Fortunately, we now have the Storm Border, which is capable of directly breaching the walls surrounding the Lostbelt. [k] ＠Holmes As a battleship, the Storm Border[sr]is essentially our frontline base. [k] ＠Holmes While we'll still be conducting on-site investigations in the Shadow Border, having a base where we can always resupply will be a tremendous asset. [k] [charaFace C 6] ＠Holmes Furthermore, Trismegistus II categorized this phenomenon as a collapse... [k] ＠Holmes ...but one could also call it a trap, or perhaps, a pitfall. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash A pitfall... Then, do you think Britain is going to cave in on itself? Or sink underwater?

[k] ＠Holmes Regardless, I suspect not even the Foreign God herself foresaw this turn of events. [k] ＠Holmes It's all well and good that Britain will disappear. Indeed, it's only to be expected now that its Tree of Emptiness is effectively dead. [k] ＠Holmes But if that disappearance is going to engulf the entire planet, then it is a matter we must investigate and ultimately resolve. [k] ＠Holmes After all, there would be no feasible way to restore Earth to its pre-bleached state if there is no Earth left to restore.

[k] ＠Sion But according to Sheba, time moves very differently within the Lostbelt. [k] ＠Sion Once inside the British Lostbelt, our time constraint will cease to be a concern. [k] ＠Sion So as long as you can resolve this phenomenon while you are there, we should be all set! [k] [charaFace I 12] ＠Sion That said, time is still definitely not on our side. [k] ＠Sion Which is why we are going to have all Chaldea's staff board the Storm Border... [k] ＠Sion ...and head for Britain as soon as we finish our final safety check. [k] ＠Sion Then, once you arrive at its wall of light, you will use the Storm Border's dimension-piercing drill to breach it... [k] ＠Sion ...and make your way into Britain, the Sixth Lostbelt.

A hugely powerful spell akin to divine[-][sr][51ffff]punishment that was able to reach Olympus all the[-][sr][51ffff]way from Britain. [-] [k] ＠[51ffff]Da Vinci[-] [51ffff]A Mystic that surpassed even Kirschtaria's ideal[-][sr][51ffff]magecraft. That was Rhongomyniad all right.[-] [k] ＠[51ffff]Da Vinci[-] [51ffff]It's a spell devised not by human hands,[-][sr][51ffff]but by the inner sea of the planet itself.[-] [k] ＠[51ffff]Da Vinci[-] [51ffff]It would be a powerful weapon against the Foreign[-][sr][51ffff]God, which means it's something we desperately need.[-] [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash The planet's inner sea?[sr]What is that? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Meunière Oh, that? It's basically a paradise of legend. [k] ＠Meunière Every mythology's got some kind of promised eternal holy land, right? [k] ＠Meunière Utopia, the Garden of Eden, the Land of the Young Tír na nÓg, and so on? Well, Britain's is called Avalon. [k] ＠Meunière It's supposed to be an otherworldly paradise that can't be reached by ordinary means. [k] ＠Meunière It's also said to lie inside the planet, and that it's where the souls of stars go to sleep. [k] ＠Meunière Pretty much every Clock Tower mage has heard about it. [k] ＠Meunière I know I called it a legend, but that's not how the people who can actually see it think of it. [k] ＠Meunière There are some people out there who really might be able to get to the planet's inner sea. Hell, the Clock Tower's even got a department for exploring it. [k] [charaFace F 3] ＠Meunière ...That said, we're talking about a place that's completely outside human comprehension. [k] ＠Meunière Once you get mixed up with something like that, you're practically already lost to a world outside our own. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] ＠Goredolf Hahaha, what are you saying, Meunipazza? Are you talking about the underground workshop? [k] ＠Goredolf They're just an ordinary archaeological[sr]team with a fancy name. [k] ＠Goredolf Really, how could anyone take them seriously after they proudly proclaimed they found Earth's belly button underneath the Clock Tower? [k] ＠Goredolf I may be something of a magecraft elitist, but even I would be too embarrassed to say something like that with a straight face. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Holmes Ahem. If we're quite done with our digression about the Mage's Association and the Clock Tower's inner politics, let's return to the subject at hand, shall we? [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Holmes Now that we know the king of the British Lostbelt controls Rhongomyniad, we need to investigate it and learn how it works. [k] ＠Holmes Indeed, the Rhongomyniad is the very reason why we were already making plans to explore the British Lostbelt. [k] ＠Holmes While the circumstances have forced us to act sooner than we had hoped, we were always going to pay them a visit eventually. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash So then, Master's mission this time isn't just to investigate the Lostbelt. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Holmes While we do of course also need to prevent the collapse Trismegistus II warned us about, securing Rhongomyniad is our top priority. [k] ＠Holmes As such, our ultimate goal for this Lostbelt is to negotiate with its king for it. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 9] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] ＠Goredolf You mean, you want to cut a deal with this Lostbelt's king!?

Honestly, I think it's pretty reckless, even for[-][sr][51ffff]us. I'd love to get my hands on Rhongomyniad, too...[-] [k] [charaFace D 32] ＠[51ffff]Da Vinci[-] [51ffff]...but between the Storm Border, the Heroic[-][sr][51ffff]Spirit system, and the Black Barrel...[-] [k] ＠[51ffff]Da Vinci[-] [51ffff]...I think we should be able to neutralize the[-][sr][51ffff]so-called Presid[line 2]I mean, a planet-level threat[-][sr][51ffff]like the Foreign God if the circumstances call for it.[-] [k] ＠[51ffff]Da Vinci[-] [51ffff]Sion was adamant that we need a Divine Construct,[-][sr][51ffff]though, so here we are.[-] [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 9] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Holmes Well, Ms. Sion is an Atlas alchemist. I've no doubt she has something unique in mind. [k] ＠Holmes And let's not forget, we wouldn't have the Nautilus or the Storm Border if it weren't for her. [k] ＠Holmes So I, for one, am perfectly willing to go along with this plan of hers. [k] ＠Holmes Especially if it leads to us acquiring Rhongomyniad, or something equivalent.
