[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.
[21:16] POREK
    Satachikesshi an org?
[21:20] KECHAK
    Yan.
[21:20] KOROR
    Pekeretta.
[21:21] KOROR
    Chanshiya.
[21:22] KOROR
    Kimotta peires.
[21:24] POREK
    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.
[23:25] SIGN
    Next Time
[23:26] NA
    Overwhelmed by tremendous power,
    strange memories begin overflowing within Kai.
[23:33] NA
    Next time, "Rigdaros".
[23:35] SIGN
    Rigdaros
[23:36] NA
    The world of gods begins to tremble.
