[k] ＠Refugee Woman Not only did you drive away those bandits, but you've escorted us as well... [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0] [charaFace A 13] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] ＠Mash No need to thank us. In fact, thank you for telling us the way to go. [k] ＠Mash You all live around here, right? Where are you going with such a large group? [k] ＠Refugee Woman Why, the Holy City, of course! That's the only safe place now. [k] ＠Refugee Woman Invaders came, burned the land, and took the Holy Land... [k] ＠Refugee Woman But the great Lion King drove out the unjust Crusaders, and opened the Holy Land to us. [k] ＠Refugee Woman We don't know where the king and his knights came from, but we're thankful that they slaughtered those Crusaders. [k] ＠Refugee Woman Still, there are some who lament over such a shameless city being built on the Holy Land... [k] ＠Refugee Woman However, the teachings of God are eternal. Regardless of what form the city takes, our prayers will never change.

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 2] ＠Da Vinci Does that mean you're refugees heading to the Holy City? Do they allow people of different races to enter? [k] ＠Refugee Woman Yes, of course. I hear that the Lion King rejects none. [k] ＠Refugee Woman Once a month, the Holy City has a ceremony called the Ritual of Holy Selection in which they accept refugees. [k] ＠Refugee Woman If you can reach the Holy City by that day, you won't have anything else to worry about. [k] ＠Refugee Woman We were wondering about going ourselves, but then our village was burned down... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] ＠Mash I see... I'm sorry to hear that. Is this everyone from the village? [k] ＠Refugee Woman No, only about half... There were some in the village who think ill about the knights residing in the Holy City... [k] ＠Refugee Woman They headed to the mountainous region. There's a village there. [k] ＠Refugee Woman But... that region is a desolate land. [k] ＠Refugee Woman If one wishes to survive in this land, the Holy City is the only real option...

[k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Da Vinci Yes. If we stay together, we'll stand out too much. [k] ＠Da Vinci We still don't understand the full situation, so it's better to act in secret for a while longer. [k] ？1：The buggy only fits three, anyway. ？2：It would be bad if we came across a Servant. ？！ [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash ...That's right. And we still can't tell who's friend or foe in this situation. [k] ＠Mash King Ozymandias of Egypt... The Holy City and the Lion King residing there... [k] ＠Mash And finally, Servants in skull masks... Ones we've already crossed paths with twice. They all seem to be Assassins... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 0 5 0 0] ＠Dr. Roman Considering the era, those wearing skull masks would naturally be from the “Old Man of the Mountain” assassination group. [k] ＠Dr. Roman This is their home territory. In fact, the term “assassin” is derived from their group. [k] [charaFace A 7] ＠Mash The Sun King, the Lion King, and a group of Assassins... Does this mean it's a three-way deadlock? [k] ？1：Lion beats Sun, Assassin beats Lion... [charaFadeout A 0.1] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Da Vinci And Sun beats Assassin?[sr]Hmm, I don't really think so. [k] ？2：No, I doubt that. [charaFadeout A 0.1] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Da Vinci Exactly! Nitocris and Lucius mentioned something strange, after all! [k] ？！ [charaFace D 4] ＠Da Vinci This is just speculation, but it all fits: the Sun King and the Lion King have formed a non-aggression pact. [k] ＠Da Vinci Remember, Lucius said that the Holy City knights would have no reason to abduct Nitocris. [k] [charaFace D 5] ＠Da Vinci The one who rules this land is most likely the Lion King. The Egyptian territory is an independent, separate nation. [k] ＠Da Vinci Hence we can assume that the kings have formed that pact. [k] ＠Da Vinci Though they oppose each other, they don't fight... It's a cold war. [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠Da Vinci Perhaps the mountain people, the group of Assassins, can't tolerate that and carry out resistance activities. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 5] ＠Dr. Roman ...I see. I'm getting a general grasp of the situation. [k] ＠Dr. Roman First, like the refugees, you should head to the Holy City. There are some things we need to ascertain. [k] ＠Dr. Roman First, who are these knights who destroyed the Crusaders? And second, how are things there now? [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash Yes. King Ozymandias said that the Holy City is the source of the Singularity. [k] ＠Mash We need to go and see if that's the truth!
