The Bard’s Tale

Conversation

Sion: Is Pan, the maser of information, here?

Pan: Master of information? You look young but you know well, boy.

Pan: You will not regret coming to me. Hahaha!!

Sion: Then do you know where I can see the five heroes?

Pan: The five heroes? Hahaha! You're still a little boy, aren't you? / Well... I guess this is common for boys your age!

Sion: Hmph... So do you know something?

Pan: Well it's nothing I can't tell you about! / But what are you going to do after you know where they are?

Sion: Well, is that important? / I just want to meet them and talk to them in person.

Pan: Hmm... Well Duke Batista is at the Bartran lord castle.

Sion: Then how can I see Duke Batista?

Pan: Well... Unless you are of noble blood... / Normally you can't see him.

Sion: Then is there any other way to see the Duke?

Pan: Well... There... is a way. I heard a funny story.

Sion: What is it?

Pan: Do you know that there's a secret passageway at the back of the Bartran castle?

Sion: No. A secret passageway?

Pan: Yeah. Over Pygmy forest is the Catacomb.

Pan: At the end of the Catacomb, there's a passageway that's connected to the castle's basement.

Pan: Why did they connect the castle with a tomb?

Sion: I wouldn't know.

Pan: But there's something more important.

Sion: What? What is it?

Pan: There's only one way to go to that secret passageway, and it's...

Sion: Well, what is it?

Pan: Well... It's following a ghost.

Sion: A ghost?

Pan: I heard you can find that secret door if you follow the ghost. But...

Pan: The problem is that no one who went in ever came back...

Sion: Then you mean everyone who followed the ghost disappeared?

Pan: Yes! That's why the story isn't widespread.

Sion: But then how do you know this?

Pan: Me? Isn't it obvious?

Pan: I have a duty to spread this story, so I didn't follow it

Sion: Oh... Okay. I see. Haha... / Right, I have something to do, so I'll hear the rest of the story later.

Pan: Alright. When you come back later, I'll tell you a more amazing story.

Sion: Okay.. Haha. Thank you.

Alice: That guy talks too much!

Sion: Haha! But he said something helpful.

Alice: Whew... But still blah blah blah blah...

Sion: Anyways, so I guess there's a secret passageway to the castle.

Alice: Hmmm... I don't support your plan.

Sion: I didn't talk about a plan...

Alice: Aren't you going to sneak into the castle?

Sion: There's nothing else to do though...

Alice: Booo~ He said that everyone who followed the ghost didn't come back.

Sion: That's why it's so suspicious.

Sion: Don't you remember when the Warlocks kidnapped people before at the Klimp mansion?

Alice: So you're saying that people are being kidnapped here too, right?

Sion: Yes, I think so...

Alice: Oh god... I've totally picked the wrong guardian...

Sion: Haha, sorry Alice. / Anyways, let's go and see.
