SIGN    The Faraway Paladin [01:31] Ethelbald     I must also consider the     option of killing you. [01:36] Will     How frightening. [01:38] Will     And how would you have me die? [01:41] Ethelbald     I will say you were poisoned in     the battle with the wyvern, [01:45] Ethelbald     and that treatment came too late     when you started to spit up blood. [01:49] Will     I understand what he's saying. [01:51] Will     A hero who can't even prove his identity [01:53] Will     is asking him for forces to operate     in a region he doesn't even govern. [01:58] Will     Of course he'd see it as dangerous. [02:02] Will     I can handle those two, but there's     still the risk of projectile weapons, [02:06] Will     and the prince is pretty skilled himself. [02:10] Will     No, it's pointless to think about it. [02:14] Will     In any case, I have to get     through this somehow. [02:18] Will     I need to speak from the heart     and plead my case earnestly. [02:23] Will     Your Highness... [02:24] Ethelbald     What? [02:25] Will     If all saltiness were to     disappear from the world, [02:28] Will     what would give salt its salty flavor? [02:32] Will     If all those who carry a flame     live only in the sunlight, [02:38] Will     upon what do they shine their flames? [02:41] Will     I have received a part of that flame     from Gracefeel, the goddess of light. [02:48] Will     I believe the ones who carry that flame [02:49] Will     are the ones who should march     first into the darkness. [02:54] Will     They must shine the light upon     those who lament in darkness, [02:56] Will     and light the path for     those who follow behind. [03:02] Will     So please, I beg of you. [03:04] Will     Can you somehow grant permission     for this undertaking of mine? [03:13] Ethelbald     William, this path will     only lead to despair. [03:18] Ethelbald     It won't work, and even if it does,     you will pay the price. [03:22] Will     I have business with that     despair you speak of. [03:26] Ethelbald     Oh? How so? [03:28] Will     I don't like its face, so I want     to kick it as hard as I can. [03:38] Ethelbald     Kick it in the face? I like that! [03:42] Ethelbald     Come to think of it, you are     a high priest, aren't you? [03:46] Ethelbald     And you have quite a good friend, too. [03:50] Ethelbald     What, you didn't notice? [03:53] Ethelbald     When I said I was going to kill you, [03:55] Ethelbald     that half-elf there gave me     quite the murderous glare. [04:00] Menel     Wh-What're you talkin' about? [04:02] Menel     I was just steeling myself 'cause     I figured you'd kill me, too. [04:05] Menel     Damn it, don't look so happy! [04:06] Priest     Bishop, please stop! [04:08] Priest     His Highness is with a guest at the moment! [04:09] Anna     Please wait, Father! [04:11] Bagley     Stay out of my way! [04:13] Bagley     You damned fools! [04:17] Bagley     Prince Ethelbald, do not act irrationally! [04:21] Ethelbald     Oh? Whatever do you mean, Bishop Bagley? [04:26] Bagley     Do not play dumb with me! [04:27] Bagley     This young man is registered     with my temple! [04:31] Bagley     Though it may be temporary,     he is a member of the temple! [04:34] Bagley     And you beckon him here     without a word to me? [04:37] Bagley     Do you mean to disregard     the temple's authority?! [04:40] Ethelbald     Oh, I had no idea. [04:42] Ethelbald     Is this true? [04:44] Will     Uh, yes. [04:45] Bagley     Ignorance is no excuse! [04:48] Bagley     You cannot forego verification     protocol simply because I was away! [04:51] Ethelbald     So you say, but the people from your     temple seemed happy to send him to me. [04:56] Bagley     Hmph! A total lack of discipline! [04:59] Bagley     I will give them a stern talking-to later! [05:01] Bagley     In any case, he— [05:02] Ethelbald     The thing is, Bishop Bagley... [05:05] Ethelbald     He is not what you think he is. [05:07] Bagley     Huh? [05:08] Ethelbald     He came here asking me to     assemble a private army. [05:11] Ethelbald     Says he wants to save the     poor people of Beast Woods. [05:14] Bagley     What?! [05:16] Bagley     Y-You— [05:17] Ethelbald     I would be lying if I said it never     crossed my mind to kill him right here. [05:23] Ethelbald     But he's just so frank. [05:25] Ethelbald     Somehow, I started to     find it quite amusing. [05:28] Ethelbald     Which is why... [05:30] Ethelbald     I'm thinking of appointing him as a knight. [05:34] Ethelbald     Would your temple give him its blessing? [05:39] Ethelbald     You know, a paladin. [05:42] Ethelbald     The temple and I will share the     responsibility and the profits equally. [05:46] Ethelbald     What do you say? [05:48] Bagley     What?! [05:49] Ethelbald     He would, of course,     fall under our joint authority. [05:53] Ethelbald     If it comes to it, you could always     have him excommunicated. [05:55] Bagley     Th-Th-That is not the issue here! [05:58] Ethelbald     The temple can attest to his character, [06:01] Ethelbald     and as the Wyvern Killer, he should     have no problems with the rest. [06:05] Bagley     This is proceeding too quickly! [06:07] Bagley     I will return to the temple and think it over!     Is that acceptable?! [06:11] Ethelbald     Yes. [06:13] Ethelbald     But it would make me truly happy     to see this happen, Bagley. [06:17] Ethelbald     I've taken a liking to this young man. [06:19] Bagley     Assuming I do become his patron, [06:22] Bagley     spare me your silly games! [06:25] Bagley     You, novice boy! We're leaving! [06:27] Will     R-Right. [06:36] Bagley     Honestly, what a troublemaker. [06:38] Bagley     Demanding a private army?     What were you thinking? [06:40] Menel     What's that old geezer's deal? [06:42] Will     Uh, Menel, he's... [06:43] Bagley     Especially you, novice! [06:46] Bagley     How dare you go and take matters     into your own hands?! [06:48] Menel     So what if we did?     It's not like you're our boss or anything. [06:52] Bagley     Excuse me?! [06:54] Bagley     I am the head of the temple,     in case you forgot! [06:55] Menel     So what? You wanna fight over it? [06:57] Bagley     How dare you speak to me     that way?! Insolence! [06:58] Anna     I'm sorry. [06:59] Anna     My father has struggled with many unresolved     issues of late, and it has him on edge. [07:00] Menel     And I'm saying it ain't your business.     We don't work for you. [07:03] Will     No, I apologize for my friend's behavior. [07:04] Bagley     Excuse me?! [07:05] Menel     Just so you know... [07:06] Bagley     Just so you know, you     two came to my temple! [07:06] Will     Anyway, um... So you're     Bishop Bagley's daughter? [07:09] Menel     I'm saying— [07:10] Bagley     I'm saying, don't create problems for me! [07:10] Anna     Yes, though not by blood. [07:13] Menel     Look, first of all— [07:13] Bagley     First of all, you— [07:13] Anna     He was once in charge of a temple in the     capital that had a large orphanage. [07:14] Menel     Will you quit cutting me off?!     I'm still talking! [07:17] Bagley     What?! You— [07:19] Menel     And stop talking down to me!     Who do you think you are?! [07:19] Will     Ah, I see. [07:21] Anna     When His Highness Ethelbald asked     my father to relocate here, [07:22] Bagley     I am— [07:23] Menel     The head of the temple, right? [07:25] Menel     I'm telling you,     that's got nothing to do with us! [07:25] Anna     I came to this continent along     with a dozen or so others. [07:26] Bagley     If you— [07:27] Menel     Ugh, I can't deal with this! [07:28] Will     So that's what happened. [07:29] Bagley     Don't you interrupt me! I'm still speaking! [07:30] Will     He's in a position where he     can throw his weight around, [07:31] Menel     What?! [07:32] Bagley     Have you no respect for your superiors?! [07:33] Will     he has connections everywhere,     and he has loyal subordinates. [07:35] Menel     And I keep telling you, that's got     nothing to do with anything! [07:38] Will     Bishop Bagley. [07:40] Will     Thank you for your help. [07:42] Will     Your intervention with the     crown prince saved us. [07:46] Bagley     Hmph! I did nothing to     warrant your gratitude! [07:49] Bagley     I only defended the temple's authority     from the crown prince's selfishness. [07:53] Bagley     You only happened to be a part of that. [07:56] Bagley     Besides, when he becomes     amused by something, [07:58] Bagley     he has a habit of doing unthinkable things. [08:00] Bagley     It's truly a problem. [08:02] Bagley     But be that as it may, [08:04] Bagley     I must respect his worldly authority. [08:07] Bagley     I will be taking his proposal     into consideration. [08:10] Bagley     You will remain in the chapel     after the evening prayer. [08:14] Will     All right, I understand. [08:16] Will     Oh, but... um... [08:18] Bagley     What? [08:20] Will     What is the "evening prayer"? [08:22] Bagley     You absolute fool! [08:28] Anna     You know the prayer by the names     "vespers" and "compline"? [08:31] Bagley     Those holy practices were     revised 200 years ago. [08:34] Bagley     Did you serve your apprenticeship     under one of such a long-lived race? [08:38] Will     Uh... Yes, you could say that. [08:42] Bagley     Hah! So you aren't entirely ignorant, then. [08:46] Bagley     Anna, fetch some books on the     revisions to the liturgy, [08:49] Bagley     and find a suitable teacher     for him, as well. [08:53] Anna     Yes, Father. [08:54] Bagley     This boy is a novice, [08:56] Bagley     and on top of that, an ancient who's     come here from 200 years in the past. [09:00] Bagley     He'll take a lot of work. [09:18] Will     Greetings, Bishop. [09:20] Bagley     Wait here a moment. [09:22] Will     Of course. [09:36] Will     His praying form looks almost     frighteningly masterful. [09:40] Will     Other than Mary,     I've never seen such an expert. [09:50] Bagley     Now, then... [09:51] Will     Um... [09:52] Bagley     What? [09:53] Will     As head of the temple, [09:54] Will     you have most certainly earned a high     level of divine protection, yes? [09:58] Will     Equal to my own, if not even higher. [10:01] Will     The people of the temple told me     that you don't use the blessing. [10:05] Will     And when you pray, either you     don't let anyone watch, [10:08] Will     or you don't apply yourself     fully when others are present. [10:10] Will     Why is that? [10:11] Bagley     Hah! Foolish novice! [10:14] Bagley     What do you think the blessing is? [10:16] Will     Divine protection bestowed by a god. [10:19] Bagley     Then why did a god bestow     divine protection upon you? [10:23] Bagley     To give you special treatment? [10:25] Bagley     Not so, correct? [10:28] Bagley     To act through you. [10:30] Bagley     Understand? The god wishes to     achieve something through you. [10:36] Bagley     And in order to live up     to the gods' ideals, [10:39] Bagley     we must constantly be in thought     about how to use the blessing. [10:43] Bagley     To use it as a tool for one's own convenience     does not contribute to the gods' glory. [10:46] Bagley     It only detracts from it. [10:48] Bagley     Most of those dimwits fail     to understand that, [10:51] Bagley     which is why they will one     day lose the blessing. [10:54] Bagley     I am the head of the temple. [10:56] Bagley     This land is wild, and development     on it has barely begun. [10:59] Bagley     To secure funding and rights,     I must yell and intimidate. [11:03] Bagley     To lay the groundwork,     I must do favors and use bribery. [11:07] Bagley     If I were to use such a high     blessing in these circumstances, [11:12] Bagley     the people would question why a man     like me received divine protection. [11:16] Bagley     Now, youngster,     do you think this would contribute [11:19] Bagley     to the glory of Volt, my guardian deity? [11:23] Will     No. [11:24] Bagley     Precisely. [11:25] Bagley     The correct course of action for blessings     and prayers is to store them inside. [11:29] Bagley     I have entrusted the vice bishop with the     glorification of the gods through blessings. [11:36] Bagley     He is a very capable man, [11:38] Bagley     skilled at winning the hearts of the     people to the extent it is needed. [11:41] Bagley     I can trust him with the bothersome,     stressful role of being the face of the temple. [11:45] Will     Bishop Bagley really is talented. [11:49] Will     He's rude, and he looks like a greedy     monk who's always complaining, [11:53] Will     but he's an amazing man. [11:55] Bagley     And what about you? [11:57] Bagley     Making a youngster who has yet to fully     comprehend what the blessing is into a paladin? [12:02] Bagley     The crown prince does so love his jokes! [12:07] Bagley     Listen. [12:08] Bagley     Don't do it. Nothing good will come     of a novice attempting this. [12:12] Bagley     I'll go to him and refuse     for you, if you want. [12:15] Bagley     Even the crown prince will surely     give up if I give a firm rejection. [12:19] Bagley     What say you? [12:20] Will     Regardless, my goddess still wishes     to achieve something through me. [12:26] Bagley     You will not change your mind? [12:27] Will     I will not. [12:30] Bagley     You are a fool. [12:31] Will     I agree. [12:33] Bagley     What did you swear to the goddess of flux? [12:36] Will     To offer her my life, banish evil,     and save the suffering. [12:43] Bagley     Rejoice! [12:44] Bagley     You are the most dimwitted of all     the dimwits I have seen here! [12:50] Bagley     I will send a few with you.     The rest is up to you. [12:56] Will     Thank you. [12:58] Will     I should respect this man,     no matter what anyone else says. [13:06] Pub Man     Let's go! [13:06] Pub Woman     Welcome! [13:06] Pub Woman     You're really putting those     drinks away, mister! [13:13] Menel     Don't go for people who use     adventuring as a job. [13:16] Menel     Find people who seek adventure, for     the glory and prestige of it. [13:20] Will     Yeah. We need real ruffians     who'll put their lives [13:23] Will     on the line for battle and adventure. [13:26] Will     Right, just like Blood. [13:29] Will     Demon beast horns... and demon beast hide? [13:32] Menel     Those are their battle spoils. [13:34] Menel     It's the easiest way to     show off their strength. [13:37] Menel     C'mon, let's go. [13:43] AdventurerA     A chestnut-haired boy with a     silver-haired elf-mix buddy... [13:46] AdventurerA     There's no doubt. [13:48] AdventurerB     He's been through a whole lot of training. [13:50] DrunkA     Hey, what's the famous Wyvern Killer [13:53] DrunkA     doin' in some pub in the middle of nowhere? [13:56] Will     I'm looking for help. [13:58] BlowhardA     Exploring Beast Woods? [14:00] BlowhardA     Low pay... Your reward is glory and praise, [14:03] BlowhardA     and there's no guarantee you'll survive?! [14:04] BlowhardA     We're doin' this for a living, y'know! [14:06] BlowhardA     We're not takin' a quest     like this! Right, guys? [14:09] BlowhardB     Yeah! Don't be so stingy! [14:15] Reystov     Shut up, you blowhards. [14:27] (Flashback) Blood     When you see a swordsman,     look at his fingers. [14:29] (Flashback) Blood     You can tell by looking at his hands     whether he'll allow any thoughts [14:34] (Flashback) Blood     that prevent him from drawing his weapon. [14:38] Reystov     Looks to me like what you want     is a madman. Am I right? [14:42] Reystov     Not a bunch of blowhards with     good manners but no skills, [14:44] Reystov     who've picked up the etiquette     and patience to do any job, [14:49] Reystov     but a bunch of shitheads who     know no fear or manners. [14:52] Reystov     The worst kind of scumball adventurers [14:55] Reystov     who'll risk their lives for     the dumbest ideals, right? [14:57] Will     That's why we've come here. [15:01] Reystov     Hey, you hear that? Just like I said! [15:03] BlowhardA     Tch! Bunch of damn lunatics! [15:05] BlowhardA     You oughta buy our drinks for a change! [15:07] BlowhardB     Yeah, that's right! [15:11] AdventurerC     What're you hoping to get out     of exploring Beast Woods? [15:14] AdventurerD     Where we goin'? Ruins? Outdoors? [15:16] AdventurerD     We don't bother with small fry! [15:18] Will     The demon boss. [15:24] Will     The leader of the demons running rampant     in the western part of Beast Woods, [15:28] Will     whose subordinate demons are     thought to command demon beasts. [15:31] Reystov     That's a big fish. [15:33] Will     Yes. [15:33] Reystov     The location is unclear.     Just finding him will be hell. [15:38] Reystov     We're talkin' instant death if     we're ambushed during the search. [15:42] Will     Most likely. [15:44] Reystov     In other words, [15:45] Reystov     this is gonna be a nice, fun,     stupid little jaunt. [15:55] Reystov     Let me in on it. [15:57] Reystov     All I need is food and a bed. [15:59] Reystov     Even better if I make a     little pocket change. [16:01] AdventurerC     Me, too! [16:02] AdventurerD     And me! [16:02] AdventurerB     Leave it to us! [16:02] AdventurerA     I'm in! [16:02] Will     Of course, I'll have those for you! [16:08] Will     I'm William G. Maryblood. [16:12] Reystov     I'm Reystov. [16:19] Bee     Whence cometh this disciple [16:21] Bee     to the lost goddess of     flux, goddess of light? [16:26] Bee     The Disciple of the Light, the Wyvern Killer,     the Peerless Powerhouse... [16:27] Will     It's almost time for the ceremony. [16:30] Will     I heard they wanted to make this a     happy event to give work to people [16:32] Bee     The Faraway Paladin, William G. Maryblood. [16:33] Will     who lost their homes and jobs     in the wyvern attack, but... [16:36] Bee     Know the name of the new hero who has     appeared in the city of white sails! [16:41] Bee     Hmm... I guess that should do it. [16:44] Will     Bee, could you not write an epic     about me right in front of me? [16:48] Bee     What? Why not?! [16:50] Menel     You actually did do all that.     What did you expect? [16:55] Bee     Look forward to hearing it!     I'm gonna make it awesome! [16:59] Tonio     Hmm... [17:00] Tonio     This many cows and horses will     indeed come at a hefty price. [17:05] Will     Oh, about that... [17:07] Will     Can you negotiate to get us the sick     and injured ones at a lower price? [17:12] Tonio     What? [17:13] Will     And then I'll heal all of them. [17:16] Tonio     Oh... That makes sense. [17:17] Will     Also, it would be a big help     if you could start trade [17:21] Will     between Beast Woods and Whitesails. [17:24] Tonio     Hmm... [17:25] Will     How much do you need me to     give you to fund that? [17:28] Tonio     Will, why don't you and I     have a serious business chat? [17:33] Tonio     Now, then... [17:34] Will     G-Go easy on me... [17:36] Menel     I say go for it. [17:38] Menel     You need to have a good understanding     of how money works. [17:41] Will     Right. [17:42] Reystov     You're gonna be negotiating with     Reystov and those other guys next. [17:45] Bee     Reystov?! [17:46] Bee     Reystov the Penetrator is here?! [17:49] Will     Y-Yes, he is... [17:50] Bee     That's perfect! Let me interview him! [17:53] Will     Huh? [17:55] Reystov     Making a habit of flaunting your own     accomplishments leads to arrogance. [17:59] Will     And arrogance dulls one's blade? [18:01] Reystov     Exactly. [18:03] Bee     That again?! [18:04] Bee     This is why you're so useless! [18:06] Bee     I can't get any good ideas out of you! [18:09] Will     So you two know each other? [18:12] Reystov     We've talked a few times. [18:14] Bee     No matter how many times I interview     you, it's always the same! [18:16] Bee     I thought it'd be different this time! [18:18] Bee     You're just a stubborn, broody guy! [18:20] Reystov     The answers don't change,     no matter how many times you ask. [18:23] Bee     All of your tales of heroism     are so ambiguous! [18:26] Bee     I was gonna make something that came     a little closer to the truth! [18:29] Bee     I can't believe how mean you're being! [18:31] Bee     Isn't reputation important     to an adventurer?! [18:34] Bee     Whether it's to make a living     or get ahead in life! [18:37] Reystov     As long as you've got skills,     those things come naturally. [18:40] Bee     I know you realize that even people with     skills can be ruined by a bad reputation! [18:46] Bee     Even a warrior never knows what's     going to be his downfall! [18:49] Bee     Don't you agree, Will? [18:50] Will     Uh... [18:52] Will     A lot of Reystov's tales     of heroism are ambiguous? [18:55] Bee     Yeah, exactly! [18:56] Bee     This guy will accept a job     to take down a huge threat, [19:00] Bee     then he just wanders off, kills it with     one fatal stab, and wanders back! [19:03] Bee     He hardly ever works with anyone else, [19:05] Bee     and he works so fast, hardly anyone     knows what actually happened! [19:09] Bee     And he takes such a broad range of jobs! [19:11] Will     So the stories end up more     and more embellished? [19:13] Bee     Yep! [19:14] Bee     I try to interview people, but all they     do is fill in the gaps however they can! [19:18] Bee     I do embellish them a little bit, [19:21] Bee     but I like to add a little     more truth to my tales! [19:24] Reystov     No need. [19:25] Bee     That's what I'm talking about! [19:27] Bee     If only I had a little more to work with... [19:32] Bee     I know! [19:33] Bee     How about the Penetrator     versus the Paladin? [19:35] Will     Huh?! That sorta came out of nowhere... [19:38] Will     You're putting Reystov on     the spot, too! Right? [19:42] Reystov     If I receive a challenge from a     strong opponent, I have no choice. [19:46] Will     Reystov?! [19:47] Bee     See?! You heard him! [19:51] Will     Well, maybe when we're     done in Beast Woods... [19:54] Bee     Yay! [19:55] Bee     That's a promise! [19:56] Bee     This is great! [19:58] Bee     I'll make this into a song that'll be sung for     centuries, millennia—until the end of time! [20:25] Ethelbald     I, Prince Southmark, [20:28] Ethelbald     Ethelbald Rex Southmark,     hereby declare you a knight. [20:36] Ethelbald     May you become the protector of     your temple, of those in need, [20:39] Ethelbald     and of all those who     believe in the virtuous gods, [20:42] Ethelbald     who defy the evil gods and their violence. [21:06] Vice Bishop     You who strive to become a knight...

[22:38] Vice Bishop     It was an honor to receive such an     important duty from the bishop. [22:41] Vice Bishop     Ordinarily, this would be his job, but... [22:45] Will     I asked him, and he said he finds it     bothersome to show people his pious side. [22:49] Will     It's too bad. [22:51] Vice Bishop     I agree. [22:52] Vice Bishop     For a man of his caliber to be     so unknown to the public... [22:55] AdventurerD     So this is where you were!

[23:13] Bee     Will! [23:14] Bee     We're making a fortune! [23:16] Bee     And it's all thanks to your song! [23:20] Will     Goddess, are you watching?
