**[00:00] NA**
Previously on Teogonia.
**[00:03] (Flashback) KAI**
I wish I could eat a rice ball!
**[00:06] (Flashback) MANSO**
What's a rice ball?
**[00:08] (Flashback) KAI**
I'm not sure what it was,
but I feel like it tasted really good.
**[00:12] (Flashback) KAI**
Come on, fire magic!
**[00:15] (Flashback) KAI**
It worked.
**[00:16] (Flashback) ORGS**
Adohra-kahn! Adohra-kahn! Adohra-kahn!
**[00:19] (Flashback) ADOHRA-KAHN**
Our destination is that detestable valley!
***SIGN*** The Priest and the Inspector
**[01:56] NA**
"The Priest and the Inspector".
**[02:00] KAI**
I wonder if I could cook this.
**[02:03] KAI**
Then I think I'm supposed to use my
hands to form that into rice balls.
**[02:09] ELSA**
What's a rice ball?
**[02:11] KAI**
Huh? Elsa?
**[02:12] ELSA**
Are rice balls food?
**[02:15] KAI**
I'm not sure how to put it.
**[02:19] KAI**
In any case, they're tasty.
**[02:21] ELSA**
Where did you eat rice balls?
**[02:24] KAI**
I've never actually eaten one either.
**[02:27] KAI**
I'd like to try them once, though.
**[02:31] ELSA**
You want to try them, huh?
**[02:34] KAI**
What is it, Elsa?
**[02:35] ELSA**
Nothing.
**[02:37] MANSO**
Kai.
**[02:39] MANSO**
Hurry up and bring that bag over.
**[02:41] AKIZA**
You little twerp.
**[02:42] RAHAT**
Enjoying your spring all by yourself...
**[02:45] TURAL**
While we're hard at work.
**[02:47] KAI**
I was just about to do it.
**[02:49] KAI**
Hup.
**[02:51] VEZIN**
Get this done before the inspector arrives!
**[02:55] OLHA**
Is it really necessary to do all this?
**[02:57] VEZIN**
Olha.
**[02:58] OLHA**
It'd be another matter were it
a valuable local specialty,
**[03:01] OLHA**
but surely there's no harm
in serving them some grain.
**[03:06] VEZIN**
The village's reserves are low.
**[03:08] VEZIN**
The villagers would lose some of their share.
**[03:10] OLHA**
They'll be fine. They won't die that easily.
**[03:14] OLHA**
If anything, we should give the central
plain gifts to gain influence with them.
**[03:20] VEZIN**
Try currying favor with
them more than necessary.
**[03:23] VEZIN**
Some villagers will end up starving to death.
**[03:26] VEZIN**
Like I always say, the villagers
are Moloch's children.
**[03:30] VEZIN**
Treat them with more care.
**[03:33] RAHAT**
The inspector's coming from the
capital on the central plain, right?
**[03:36] RAHAT**
We don't usually get visitors from there.
**[03:38] TURAL**
You sure are carefree, aren't you?
**[03:39] AKIZA**
We have to hide our food
so they don't take all of it.
**[03:47] KAI**
Huh... The inspector's a guardian bearer, too?
**[03:51] MANSO**
Apparently.
**[03:52] MANSO**
Their Divine Crest is supposed to
be superior to the baron's, too.
**[03:56] KAI**
Do they use that power to protect the capital
of the central plain's Unified Kingdom?
**[04:01] MANSO**
I'm not sure either.
**[04:17] VEZIN**
I am Moloch Vezin, baron of Lag Village,
Lord Inspector Gandal.
**[04:24] GANDAL**
There are a lot of demi-humans in this area.
**[04:27] GANDAL**
I was attacked on my way here.
**[04:30] VEZIN**
These are macaque arrows.
**[04:33] OLHA**
I don't believe it. I'm sorry.
**[04:36] GANDAL**
There were roughly ten of them, Baron Moloch.
**[04:39] GANDAL**
Though I managed to fight them off.
**[04:42] JOSE**
Ten of them? Impressive.
**[04:54] GANDAL**
Are you the famous Lady White of
Lag Village that I've heard about?
**[05:00] JOSE**
My name is Jose.
**[05:03] GANDAL**
Your lustrous skin shows no sign of tanning.
**[05:05] GANDAL**
Your father must've raised you with great care.
**[05:09] JOSE**
No. I may be a woman, but a guardian
bearer must be prepared to fight.
**[05:12] GANDAL**
You're more fiery than you look.
**[05:15] GANDAL**
Women should hide quietly inside the home.
**[05:19] GANDAL**
You should focus on becoming
a noble's bride instead.
**[05:23] GANDAL**
Do not neglect your duty
to oust the demi-humans.
**[05:26] OLHA**
I will conduct a search personally.
**[05:29] OLHA**
This way.
**[05:35] KAI**
Huh?
**[05:40] VEZIN**
Are you with the inspector, too?
**[05:43] NADA**
No. I simply met him on my
way and traveled with him.
**[05:47] VEZIN**
I see.
**[05:48] NADA**
I was sent here from the monastery of Maas.
**[05:51] NADA**
My name is Nada.
**[05:53] VEZIN**
From the monastery?
**[05:59] GANDAL**
This isn't much.
**[06:00] VEZIN**
Unfortunately not.
**[06:03] GANDAL**
A lord's training can affect the yield.
**[06:06] GANDAL**
Perhaps you're not training enough.
**[06:09] JOSE**
My father is—
**[06:12] VEZIN**
I'm sorry.
**[06:13] GANDAL**
I've heard that some remote villages conceal
the size of their harvests these days.
**[06:20] GANDAL**
But you wouldn't do that,
would you, Baron Moloch?
**[06:25] VEZIN**
I wouldn't dream of it.
**[06:27] VEZIN**
Our harvest is meager due
to poor weather recently.
**[06:31] GANDAL**
Poor weather?
That will make traveling difficult.
**[06:36] GANDAL**
Perhaps I'll remain here for a while.
**[06:39] VEZIN**
In Lag Village?
**[06:42] OLHA**
Then we shall offer you our heartfelt
hospitality during your stay.
**[06:45] GANDAL**
Good. Now move.
**[06:47] JOSE**
He's staying here?
**[06:49] JOSE**
In other words, he's demanding
that we indulge him in luxury.
**[06:52] JOSE**
And women should hide in the home?
**[06:54] JOSE**
What does he think guardian bearers are?
**[06:57] VEZIN**
You're speaking out of turn.
**[06:58] VEZIN**
Lord Gandal is an inspector.
**[07:00] VEZIN**
He represents the king wherever he goes.
**[07:04] JOSE**
But...
**[07:05] VEZIN**
Lag Village belongs to the Unified Kingdom.
**[07:09] VEZIN**
You must never forget that.
**[07:13] JOSE**
Yes, Father.
**[07:19] KAI**
Um, thank you.
**[07:23] NADA**
It is my duty.
**[07:26] KAI**
Um, the lining of your clothes is dirty.
**[07:31] NADA**
I had no idea this was here.
**[07:34] NADA**
I lack training as well.
**[07:37] NADA**
You're the boy who became powerful after
eating many godstones, aren't you?
**[07:42] KAI**
Yeah, that's me. My name is Kai.
**[07:47] NADA**
It would seem that you and I are the same.
**[07:50] KAI**
Huh?
**[07:51] NADA**
I'm actually just like you.
**[07:54] NADA**
At the monastery, I consume many
godstones as part of my training.
**[07:58] NADA**
It's a shortcut to acquiring power.
**[08:00] KAI**
Huh... How strong have you become
compared to guardian bearers?
**[08:08] KAI**
A Divine Crest? You're a guardian bearer?
**[08:12] NADA**
No, I do not have the protection of any god.
**[08:16] KAI**
Then how...?
**[08:18] NADA**
One can acquire a Divine Crest through
simply training and consuming godstones.
**[08:27] GANDAL**
This is rustic cooking.
**[08:28] CIVIL SERVANT**
The villagers could only dream
of eating a meal like this.
**[08:33] GANDAL**
Then have them bring more!
**[08:35] ATTENDANTS**
What?
**[08:36] GANDAL**
What's the matter?
**[08:37] GANDAL**
It's only natural that I receive
this level of hospitality.
**[08:41] GANDAL**
After all, I am an inspector
from the central plain.
**[08:51] AKIZA**
Damn that froggy bastard.
**[08:54] AKIZA**
Inspector, my ass.
**[08:56] AKIZA**
Our meals are tiny because of him.
**[08:59] TURAL**
We're paying for the luxuries
being provided to him.
**[09:03] RAHAT**
I hope he leaves soon.
**[09:05] VEZIN**
A band of orgs?
**[09:07] NADA**
Yes, deep in this remote region.
**[09:10] NADA**
Not only that, but this band
is much larger than normal.
**[09:14] OLHA**
Could it be?
**[09:15] OLHA**
Is it a full-scale invasion of human lands?
**[09:20] NADA**
It doesn't seem that way.
**[09:22] NADA**
They must have some special purpose
for sending such a strong force.
**[09:28] NADA**
That's what Maas believes.
**[09:31] NADA**
And they seem to be heading
someplace to achieve that purpose.
**[09:36] OLHA**
What?
**[09:38] NADA**
I intend to pursue the orgs in order
to find out exactly what they're up to.
**[09:43] NADA**
However, I am not familiar
with this remote region.
**[09:48] NADA**
I would appreciate your
assistance, Baron Moloch.
**[09:51] VEZIN**
Please stand. Your clothes will get dirty.
**[09:54] NADA**
Then...
**[09:56] VEZIN**
I understand the situation.
**[09:57] VEZIN**
In that case, I shall select
some people to escort you.
**[10:02] NADA**
I appreciate that.
**[10:04] ARUWE**
Your Holiness can't come to valley for a while?
**[10:07] KAI**
I don't think it'll be for long, but it'll
depend on the priest's investigation.
**[10:13] KAI**
What's wrong?
**[10:14] ARUWE**
I have feeling you no return to valley.
**[10:19] KAI**
Don't worry.
**[10:21] KAI**
Guardian bearers have a
responsibility to the land.
**[10:26] KAI**
So I'll be back. I have to protect this valley.
**[10:32] ARUWE**
So cool.
**[10:38] POREK**
My lord.
**[10:39] KAI**
Porek.
**[10:40] POREK**
You said you'd go after the org band.
**[10:46] KAI**
Yeah.
**[10:47] POREK**
Perhaps they're looking for
**[10:51] POREK**
the orgs you defeated here.
**[10:54] KAI**
Maybe.
**[10:58] KAI**
It'll be fine.
**[10:59] KAI**
I'm prepared for that.
**[11:18] OLHA**
Father, are you sure you want to send Jose?
**[11:21] VEZIN**
Normally this would be your job,
**[11:24] VEZIN**
but you must go after the macaques
that attacked the inspector.
**[11:29] VEZIN**
Besides, he'll be going with them.
**[11:31] ELSA**
Wait, Kai!
**[11:34] KAI**
Elsa.
**[11:35] ELSA**
Here.
**[11:37] ELSA**
You said you wanted to eat them.
**[11:39] KAI**
Huh?
**[11:40] ELSA**
I cooked some wheat and formed it into balls.
**[11:43] ELSA**
They're supposed to be the
rice balls you mentioned.
**[11:46] ELSA**
What do you think? Did I get it right?
**[11:48] KAI**
Yeah, more or less.
**[11:50] ELSA**
Really? Great.
**[11:57] ELSA**
What is it?
**[11:59] KAI**
I wonder why.
**[12:00] KAI**
I just remembered my mom, even though
I haven't thought about her in years.
**[12:06] MANSO**
Kai!
**[12:07] MANSO**
We'll leave you behind.
**[12:09] KAI**
Thanks. I'll savor these.
**[12:12] ELSA**
Be careful.
**[12:13] KAI**
Aren't these supposed to be whiter?
**[12:16] KAI**
I feel like they were wrapped
in something black, too.
**[12:32] JOSE**
Hey, Kai.
**[12:33] KAI**
Yes?
**[12:34] JOSE**
Do you think women should be...
**[12:37] KAI**
Huh?
**[12:38] JOSE**
Forget it.
**[12:40] KAI**
What?
**[12:43] CARICK**
Come look, everyone!
**[12:45] JOSE**
What is this?
**[12:46] KAI**
It's awful.
**[12:49] JOSE**
Why would they kill each other here?
**[12:52] NADA**
The orgs we're pursuing must've fought
with a band of macaques here.
**[12:57] RAHAT**
There are far more macaque corpses than orgs.
**[13:02] NADA**
Then there was an overwhelming
difference in strength.
**[13:06] NADA**
The orgs could be a main force
led by a powerful individual.
**[13:12] KAI**
What are those orgs trying to do?
**[13:16] JOSE**
They're apparently pursuing something.
**[13:18] JOSE**
Last night I heard what Sir Nada
had to say with my father and brother.
**[13:24] JOSE**
Sir Nada is also looking
for the same thing.
**[13:27] KAI**
The priest?
**[13:28] NADA**
There was a prophecy.
**[13:30] NADA**
That a powerful god that mustn't be
overlooked will appear in this remote land.
**[13:35] KAI**
A god?
**[13:36] NADA**
I am pursuing the orgs in order
to find the god and its grave.
**[13:42] NADA**
Whichever species claims the god
will acquire incredible power.
**[13:47] NADA**
I must secure it before it falls
into the hands of the demi-humans.
**[13:51] NADA**
My mission is to add that god
**[13:55] NADA**
to the Unified Kingdom's mausoleum
before they can claim it.
**[14:00] KAI**
What kind of god are we talking about?
**[14:02] NADA**
The high priest of Maas had this
to say regarding the prophecy.
**[14:06] NADA**
"A wild spirit that will not submit has
awakened in remote lands."
**[14:11] NADA**
"Its power reaches the heavens
like a bird soaring high above."
**[14:15] NADA**
"Its nature is both light and dark,
good and evil."
**[14:19] NADA**
"It should be feared and respected."
**[14:22] KAI/ID**
*Could this awakened god be the valley god?*
**[14:25] KAI/ID**
*Is he looking for me?*
**[14:28] KAI/ID**
* And these orgs are clearly different*
* from the ones I fought in the valley.*
**[14:36] JOSE**
What is that?
**[14:37] CARICK**
They seem to have been attacked.
**[14:39] KAI**
By orgs?
**[14:41] JOSE**
Let's go check it out.
**[14:42] CARICK**
Lady Jose, it's too dangerous.
**[14:44] JOSE**
We can't just ignore it.
**[14:50] CARICK**
The homes have been destroyed.
**[14:52] MANSO**
Hey.
**[14:54] CARICK**
They're uzelles.
**[14:56] JOSE**
Uzelles...
**[14:57] JOSE**
They're a quiet and peaceful species
who aren't hostile towards humans.
**[15:02] JOSE**
Their horns have been cut off.
**[15:07] KAI**
That's an org axe.
**[15:08] CARICK**
Lady Jose, we should leave.
**[15:11] JOSE**
Some may have escaped the
attack and still be hiding.
**[15:15] JOSE**
We should look for them.
**[15:16] CARICK**
But...
**[15:17] JOSE**
We mustn't abandon them.
**[15:20] NADA**
May I go my own way?
**[15:22] NADA**
I'd like to investigate the land god.
**[15:26] NADA**
I may find a clue to the god I'm looking for.
**[15:29] MANSO**
Then Kai will go with you.
**[15:31] KAI**
Got it.
**[15:32] NADA**
Thank you.
**[15:36] MANSO**
This is odd.
**[15:37] CARICK**
Yeah. The village is empty.
**[15:40] CARICK**
Where did the villagers go?
**[15:42] MANSO**
The houses around here
weren't destroyed either.
**[15:45] CARICK**
If those orgs were responsible,
they would've done worse than this.
**[15:53] MANSO**
It's blood.
**[15:55] JOSE**
Someone could be hurt and hiding.
**[16:02] JOSE**
Is anyone there?
**[16:12] NADA**
Come to me, flame.
**[16:14] KAI**
Be careful. There could be orgs lurking about.
**[16:17] NADA**
You're not surprised.
**[16:19] KAI**
Huh?
**[16:20] NADA**
Most are surprised to see my fire technique.
**[16:25] NADA**
Perhaps you've already seen it before.
**[16:28] KAI**
I, uh... I've heard about it.
**[16:32] NADA**
Oh?
**[16:33] KAI**
Hey, look.
**[16:35] KAI**
There's a gravestone up ahead.
**[16:38] JOSE**
We are not your enemy.
**[16:40] JOSE**
Don't be afraid. You can come out.
**[16:48] JOSE**
An org?
**[16:50] NADA**
This is the gravestone of
this village's land god.
**[16:55] KAI**
What's that?
**[16:56] NADA**
Since I am not a guardian bearer, I cannot
read the writing on gravestones without this.
**[17:02] KAI**
Huh.
**[17:03] NADA**
The land god's name is Nazelkazeel.
**[17:11] KAI**
Sir priest!
**[17:14] NADA**
What's this?
**[17:21] NADA**
These three orgs are all of them?
**[17:24] MANSO**
Yes. We found all of them in this area.
**[17:27] NADA**
And only this much destruction.
**[17:30] NADA**
It seems they weren't attacked
by the orgs' main force.
**[17:34] NADA**
Judging by her clothes,
this seems to be the village's baron.
**[17:40] JOSE**
The baron? Which means...
**[17:43] NADA**
Yes. She's a guardian bearer.
**[17:45] KAI**
Lady Jose is a female guardian bearer, too.
**[17:48] TURAL**
But lady barons are unusual.
**[17:51] NADA**
This deep wound was inflicted by an org axe.
**[17:55] CARICK**
Even with a god's protection,
a woman can't beat an org's sheer strength.
**[18:01] MANSO**
Hey, Carick.
**[18:02] CARICK**
Whoops...
**[18:06] NADA**
Wait a minute.
**[18:08] KAI**
Is something the matter?
**[18:13] NADA**
It's a match.
**[18:15] NADA**
I see. There's no mistaking it.
**[18:18] NADA**
The fatal wounds on the orgs were
inflicted by this individual's weapon.
**[18:23] JOSE**
You mean...
**[18:24] NADA**
Yes. That female guardian
bearer defeated these orgs.
**[18:29] NADA**
She fought against three orgs...
**[18:34] NADA**
and managed to defeat them.
**[18:37] NADA**
See? A perfect match.
**[18:38] JOSE**
What? A single woman defeated
three orgs by herself?
**[18:43] NADA**
Uzelle horns fetch a high price.
**[18:47] NADA**
They were attacked first.
**[18:50] NADA**
She heard their screams
and came running to help.
**[18:57] NADA**
She couldn't allow more
villager blood to be shed,
**[19:01] NADA**
so she acted as their shield
so the others could escape.
**[19:05] MANSO**
That's why there aren't any other villagers.
**[19:08] CARICK**
That was reckless of her.
**[19:09] CARICK**
The difference in physical and combat strength
between orgs and uzelles is too great.
**[19:14] JOSE**
She must've known she didn't stand a chance
against such overpowering enemies.
**[19:21] NADA**
But she overcame that difference.
**[19:24] NADA**
Why do you think that is?
**[19:26] JOSE**
What?
**[19:27] NADA**
Probably because...
**[19:30] NADA**
it was her love for her people that
helped her overcome that great fear.
**[19:35] JOSE**
Her love for her people...
**[19:38] NADA**
And I believe that
**[19:41] NADA**
is a trait all guardian bearers must possess.
**[19:46] KAI**
To not shrink from any enemy,
no matter how powerful.
**[19:50] KAI**
That's what it means to be
a true guardian bearer.
**[19:53] CARICK**
Aw, fine. I admit I was wrong.
**[20:07] NADA**
This one didn't have a godstone.
**[20:10] NADA**
Their protection was probably
transferred to another.
**[20:14] MANSO**
By the way, was this person's land god
connected to the one you're looking for?
**[20:19] NADA**
No. There was only the one
solitary god of this land.
**[20:24] NADA**
However, I did learn something by coming here.
**[20:29] NADA**
The main org band is elsewhere.
**[20:33] NADA**
Past the macaque and org's battlefield,
the trail splits in two.
**[20:38] NADA**
One led to this village,
where the rogue orgs appeared.
**[20:43] NADA**
Which means...
**[20:45] NADA**
The main force went this way.
**[20:48] JOSE**
The trail leads into the woods.
**[20:50] NADA**
The god's grave must be in there.
**[20:55] KAI/ID**
That's my valley.
**[20:57] KAI**
I'll scout ahead.
**[20:59] NADA**
Kai?
**[20:59] KAI**
I'll go see for myself if you're wrong.
**[21:05] KAI**
I'm confident in my speed.
**[21:07] NADA**
You're a very interesting person.
**[21:12] NADA**
Perhaps I'll have you do that, then.
**[21:14] KAI**
Got it.

Do not upset them.
**[21:26] POREK**
Speak the human language
so they don't understand.
**[21:29] KECHAK**
Yes, sir.
**[21:30] KECHAK**
As you feared, the orgs are
heading directly for this valley.
**[21:37] POREK**
Kechak, gather a few people.
**[21:40] POREK**
I will scout it out myself.
**[21:44] POREK**
There's not much this old koror can do,
**[21:48] POREK**
but I can't sit around doing nothing.
