00:00I
00:36Help! Fog Demons are coming after me!
00:40Save me!
00:55The Celestial Trinity is coming.
00:57Go to the Inner Sanctum. Hurry.
01:04He's holding the Demons back for now. Now go!
01:12Please stay safe, Father.
01:30You are our last line of defense. The kingdom rests in your hands.
01:39Celestial Trinity! Save us!
01:51I'm sorry, Your Highness. We can't defeat them. This is the Doral army.
01:56They are no ordinary evil. This army is led by the Dark Lord. That ancient demon is more powerful than
02:02all of us combined.
02:04And when he kills us, he grows stronger. He feasts on dead souls.
02:09Does this mean the kingdom of Verne is doomed?
02:11No, not yet. There's only one man that can save us.
02:14Who?
02:14The one who taught us everything. The most powerful mage in history.
02:19The Oracle Mentor.
02:20But the Oracle Mentor has been in hiding for 20 years, since he last sealed away the Dark Lord.
02:24How could we find him?
02:33You dark goons got nothing better to do?
02:36Eden! Run!
02:41The sky's falling!
02:46Then prop it up. It's no big deal.
02:51Time for your workout, chubby boy. You're on fighting evil duty.
03:05You get an extra snack if you make it quick. Don't think you got away with it.
03:15Two little pets are more than enough for this predictable Doral army. It'll be a piece of cake.
03:25Good lord. I can't believe my eyes. Is that a hellhaut?
03:28And a phoenix? It's him. Our mentor. He's back.
03:35Huh. So this is just a pale imitation?
03:39Doesn't matter. I'll kill it just the same.
03:53It must be the Oracle Mentor. He showed up just in time.
03:57He saved Vern again.
04:01Look. There's a message.
04:03I'm retired. Can't you guys work harder? Can't even beat a pale imitation?
04:07We'll double our training. But the rift you sealed has now reopened.
04:11If its true form shows itself, we're counting on you, Mentor.
04:18When darkness descends, I shall stand between it and all mankind.
04:38God-like power. Ancient magic pulses through these lands. A hellhound? A phoenix? A master sage must lie just beyond
04:49us. My lord, the king is waiting.
04:54No. We must meet with this mysterious sage. He could be the savior of our kingdom.
05:27A giant rat!
05:28My lord, are you sure we should be here?
05:30It's a guinea pig, not a rat.
05:36Unbelievable!
05:37These legendary creatures and divine herbs that heal wounds and cure illnesses.
05:45What are you looking at?
05:53Lord Cillian, are you alright?
05:54What did you do, peasant?
05:56Silence!
05:57Silence!
05:59I am Cillian Vinewood, Duke of Verne.
06:02It is an honor to meet you, Master.
06:05Vinewood?
06:06Vinewood?
06:07Yes, yes, yes, yes, Isabella's apprentice!
06:09How dare you speak the High Priestess' name!
06:11Stay quiet!
06:13Yes, I was trained by the High Priestess.
06:17Yes, hence I bear her name.
06:19Apologies for the intrusion.
06:21No bother.
06:22So, you share the same lineage.
06:24I taught her a thing or two.
06:27Isabella used to follow me around.
06:34My master only had one mentor.
06:38That means you are-
06:39Just-
06:41Here.
06:42Try one of these.
06:44They're delicious.
06:53Ah, this is the divine fruit.
06:56Only one blooms in millennium.
06:58Don't fawn so much.
06:59So, Isabella sent you, did she?
07:01It wasn't her.
07:04The king is summoning all high-level mages to the harvest banquet.
07:09I was just passing by.
07:11Okay.
07:13Here is the invitation.
07:15May I humbly request your present?
07:20The whole kingdom needs your help before the Dark Lord returns.
07:26Please, I beg you.
07:31Dad, are you okay?
07:34Dad?
07:35Duke!
07:35It's an honor to serve you.
07:38Dad!
07:38That's the Duke.
07:39The king's minister and the high priestess's proche.
07:42Act proper.
07:43Get up and ditch the straw.
07:44Get up and ditch the straw.
07:49Apologies, my lord.
07:50My father's not familiar with noble etiquette.
07:52Please, sit.
07:53The elf king's legendary sword is disguised as a straw.
07:56Gara doesn't even know his father's true identity.
07:58Duke!
07:59Sit, please.
08:00No need.
08:01I'll stand.
08:02The chair is crude, I know.
08:03We're sorry for the inconvenience.
08:05Oh, just take a seat.
08:06Oh, uh, yes, of course.
08:12Dad, these are overwrought.
08:14Please, don't.
08:15I'm highly partial to fruit like this.
08:18Wasting food is a sin.
08:20We must set a good example.
08:22Of course, my lord.
08:23I spoke in haste.
08:24Should we not offer Duke the finest blackleaf tea?
08:27Hmm.
08:27Okay, okay, if you say so, son.
08:29Please don't go to any trouble on my account.
08:33I'm not a fan of tea.
08:34Apologies.
08:36What about malt whiskey, Dad?
08:38Could you...
08:38All right, all right.
08:40Fine.
08:40No liquor for you, then.
08:42What are you saying?
08:43The important person was just being considerate.
08:45Good to say.
08:47Just do what you need to do.
08:48Dad, please.
08:49How could you speak to the important person so casually?
08:51If we upset him, we'll be done for.
08:53Please, excuse me.
08:55My lord, please forgive my father.
08:57He didn't mean to.
09:03This is the fruit you gave me earlier.
09:05May I take it?
09:06Keep it.
09:07Take extra if you like them.
09:11I'll take my leave now, mister.
09:15Dad, what was that?
09:17Why'd the Duke?
09:18The Duke beats me.
09:20Guy just popped out of nowhere.
09:22And you?
09:23What are you doing here?
09:25Shouldn't you be in royal capital?
09:27Sir?
09:28Haha, very funny.
09:30I'm here because of you.
09:31Demons could strike again at any moment.
09:33Come to Arawith with me so that I can protect you.
09:36I just made level seven mage.
09:37Seven?
09:38Cute.
09:39Guess I'll still have to protect you.
09:40Why don't you stay here with me?
09:41I'll drive off any demons that show their ugly faces.
09:44Dad, what are you talking about?
09:46You are just a farmer.
09:47You are no match for demons.
09:50I have duties in the royal capital.
09:52Come with me.
09:52I can keep you safe there.
09:53I told you, son.
09:55I'm staying here.
10:00Then I have no choice.
10:03Seize my dad!
10:04Yes, sir!
10:04Take him to royal capital!
10:16Message from Arawith.
10:18What's the matter, sir?
10:19Urgent news.
10:20The banquet has moved up.
10:22I must return at once.
10:24It'll be faster if I ride ahead.
10:26Your priority is getting my dad safely to Arawith.
10:30It's not safe here, dad.
10:32I can't let anything happen to you.
10:34I'll see you in Arawith.
10:37Son.
10:38Please forgive us, mister.
10:40Mr.
10:50The banquet is in three days.
10:52I'm going to have to go.
10:53My three disciples couldn't even chase off a shadow.
10:56Must I do it all myself?
11:03Why are you smiling?
11:05Mr. Thorn!
11:11Sorry.
11:12Excuse me.
11:12What is that over there?
11:19Hello.
11:19Yes.
11:22And why is there a line to enter the city?
11:24Watch your tone.
11:25You will address my master as Lord Barry.
11:28Barry.
11:31Peasant.
11:31Arawith is the only safe place under demon attacks.
11:34Yes.
11:35Of course there's a line.
11:37But you...
11:40Go back to whatever backwards little village you came from.
11:43What a fuss over a shadow, isn't it?
11:45I'm just here to see my son.
11:47I'm sure there's a slum for a lowlife like him, but I doubt there's a bed there for you.
11:51He's a king-appointed knight.
11:54I've never heard such a funny joke.
11:56You're hilarious, old man.
11:58A royal knight would never have a peasant father like you.
12:02Oh, no, no.
12:03He's the, um...
12:05Knight Paramount.
12:07Stop!
12:08Lying!
12:09I'm surprised you've even pronounced the title.
12:11That's a top-ranked knight.
12:13He's bluffing, my lord.
12:14His son is probably just some lowly servant to a noble.
12:19Attending to his master's most menial chores even as we speak.
12:24You may pass.
12:26Enjoy being turned away, bum.
12:33Bye-bye, Barry.
12:36Deposit and papers.
12:37Excuse me?
12:39Deposit and papers.
12:42Ah, yes.
12:43Uh, I've got neither.
12:45Sorry.
12:45You fool!
12:46What in the hell are you doing here without these?
12:49You're wasting my time.
12:50Since when did a Vern Itizen need papers and a deposit to get into Aura with?
12:54Rules change.
12:55If you've got no docks, no coins, get lost.
12:58Now move on before I lock you up.
13:01What's the holdup?
13:02Sir, this peasant doesn't have documents.
13:05Ah, no, I have this.
13:07What the hell is this?
13:09Silly letter?
13:11Unfortunately, I have to say this is...
13:15The bearer of this letter may command all nobles within Aura with.
13:18Mobilize troops and access royal treasury funds.
13:21All majors and civilians must cooperate.
13:23Valid for 60 years.
13:24King Leon IV.
13:29The king is Leon V. Arrest him.
13:31King Leon IV was his father.
13:32I recognize that handwriting.
13:34I have seen it before.
13:35Back then, only one man would have that kind of power.
13:49Ah, finally found it.
13:52Finally.
13:53I haven't been to the city for years.
13:56Really lost my way.
13:57Hey, you.
13:58This reception is for nobles only.
14:01Lord Roderick is hosting Thra Harvest Banquet tonight.
14:03Asked per the king's orders.
14:05Now get lost.
14:07It's Miss Dewey's carriage.
14:10It's a fancy ride.
14:12I like it.
14:21Where'd this peasant come from?
14:24Harvest Banquet invites such people now?
14:26Absolutely not, Miss Dewey.
14:28He's just stupid and lost.
14:30We're removing him right away.
14:32You better.
14:33This occasion is not for beggars.
14:36It's for people who contribute to society.
14:39Like me.
14:41I'm not a beggar and I'm not lost.
14:44I'm here for the banquet.
14:48Miss Dewey, as radiant as ever.
14:52Garrett Thorne, at your service.
14:57So, Garrett.
14:58What do you mean I can't go in?
15:00That old man is delusional.
15:03Somebody call a physician.
15:05Did he just say the finest mansion in Arawith was blessed by some crazy peasant?
15:14Garrett.
15:15Toss the beggar some coins.
15:17He's amusing, at least.
15:18And throw him some leftovers, too.
15:20We have high-level mages who have arrived.
15:23Don't let them see this, Justin.
15:24Get lost now!
15:26Ah, handsome chap.
15:28Looking good.
15:29How dare you disrespect the knight, Paramount!
15:32Oh, no, no, no.
15:32That's my son.
15:36Ask him if I'm here for the banquet.
15:38Enough nonsense.
15:41Go on, son.
15:42Your old man's here for you.
15:44Get him!
15:45Get him!
15:46Someone silence that peasant.
15:48No, Lord Alex.
15:50He is my father.
15:58Garrett, are you sure that crazy old peasant peasant's your father?
16:02The invitation didn't mention a family meal deal.
16:04But seriously, you could have at least dressed him in some decent clothes.
16:08Yes.
16:08Your father's dressed like the village idiot.
16:10No, no, no, no.
16:11These are the finest quality.
16:12Lasted me years.
16:15What's so funny?
16:20This banquet's supposed to be a solemn occasion.
16:24We're here to discuss the security of our kingdom, not jest.
16:29My lord, having such a common man here is absurd.
16:33Who's that filthy peasant?
16:35Remove him!
16:36Lord Roderick, this is Sir Garrett's father, not just some random peasant off the street.
16:41Is that true, Garrett?
16:45Yes, Count Whitster.
16:47Garrett, you maybe have humble roots, but even you know the minimum etiquette.
16:52This banquet is for nobles and high-level mages.
16:55Yes, even Duke William is to attend.
16:58Must you shame us in front of him?
17:00Apologies, my lord.
17:02Dad, leave now.
17:03I'll make arrangements for you later.
17:05Why should I leave?
17:06I...
17:07I have an invite.
17:10An invitation?
17:13Lord Alex, would you mind finding him a seat?
17:18Come with me, Garrett.
17:33Garrett, I don't remember sending an invitation to your father.
17:37I don't wish to shame you publicly.
17:39But don't let your father ruin you.
17:43I understand, Count Whitster.
17:45Use your head.
17:47Arawith is loaded with powerful figures.
17:50You're ignorant.
17:51Father's foolish words could get him killed.
17:55One wrong word to the wrong nobleman.
18:07It's not possible.
18:09Unless he's the...
18:17My lord, is something wrong?
18:20No, nothing.
18:23Where was I?
18:27You were saying about my father's foolish lies.
18:30Did I say that?
18:32Yes, you did.
18:33You misheard me.
18:35What I meant to say was,
18:37your father has worked very hard to raise you.
18:41Don't let foolish pride neglect your parents.
18:44Got it?
18:46Yes, my lord.
18:48Why don't you go keep your father company?
18:50And then maybe you could introduce me to him later?
18:58Find out where this invitation came from.
19:00And hurry!
19:01Yes, my lord.
19:08So, Garrett is the night paramount's salary that low.
19:11Your old man's wolfing down Aura with snacks.
19:14Like he hasn't eaten in weeks.
19:16His father's nothing but a hick.
19:19They've never laid their simple eyes on such fancy food.
19:23We'll be tossing most of it out anyway.
19:25Why not box up some leftovers for them?
19:28Surely they'll love that.
19:31Dad, cut it out.
19:33Why?
19:34Food's meant to be eaten, isn't it?
19:37And I've been travelling since dawn.
19:39Your dad's starving.
19:40Ooh, the muffin's good.
19:42Want a bite?
19:42No, thank you, Dad.
19:45Honored lady has arrived.
20:02That's Ivy Ember.
20:04So young and stunning.
20:06Stop goddling!
20:07She's Arthur Ember's adopted daughter, the Oracle's line.
20:10The king himself ennobled her as countess.
20:21This little mage looks so familiar.
20:27Little mage?
20:30Garrett, tell your old man watch his tongue.
20:35Insulting a noble could land him in the dungeon.
20:39Dad, not now.
20:41That's Grandmaster Arthur's disciple, a level 8 archmaged.
20:45Only one step away from the highest ranking.
20:48Arthur?
20:49Oh, yes, yes, yes.
20:50Now I remember.
20:52She was the sniffling tot who trailed Arthur everywhere, calling him Papa Bear.
20:56Dad, don't use that name.
20:58He's one of the Celestial Trinity.
21:00This isn't your farm, old man.
21:02No one believes your silly tales.
21:03Let me enlighten you.
21:04Level 6 mage is most mages' limit.
21:07Garrett and I are level 7.
21:08We may make level 8 in this life, but the Trinity is beyond the Nine Heriach.
21:13As a lowborn commoner, you'd better stop talking about things you don't understand, okay?
21:16Just be happy you haven't been removed from this banquet.
21:19Well, look who's spellbound by beauty.
21:21You're in love with her.
21:22You said you were hungry.
21:23Here you go.
21:23Less talking, more eating.
21:26Who wouldn't fall for Lady Ivy?
21:29But come on, she's out of your league, young Garrett.
21:33Yeah, most folks don't stand a chance.
21:37You finally know your place, old man.
21:40Orphaned at a young age, no family name, but she still made level 8 archmosh in her 20.
21:46And that's talent.
21:49I'm not so strict.
21:51If Garrett likes her, I'd allow it.
21:56You think she's not good enough for your son?
21:58Yeah.
21:58Dad, please, just stop.
22:00Your dad's bloody hilarious.
22:02He is a natural jester, a peasant beggar who dares judge a level 8 archmage countess.
22:06Chin up.
22:09You're my son.
22:10You should be breaking hearts across O'Rourne with.
22:13If you're too shy to talk to her, I can help.
22:19Regardless of whether she's a supreme knight or not, this lady is a disciple of the gods.
22:23Even Roderick treats her with utmost respect.
22:26Yet your father acts like she should feel lucky.
22:28Dad, please, don't.
22:30I'll say this one last time.
22:31Lady Ivy stands equal to a royal family member.
22:34This isn't village matchmaking.
22:37Just remember, you're my son.
22:40She should be feel lucky to have a fine chap like you.
22:49Hmm, no fever.
22:51There must be some reason you're delirious and losing your mind in public.
22:55He's from the countryside.
22:57Maybe he drank too much pond water.
23:03Lady Ivy, your presence is a gift bestowed by the Hells.
23:07Heavens on this humble banquet.
23:08And you, Lord Roderick, have truly lightened the king's burden by organising this event.
23:12I am honoured to serve you, my lady.
23:14Thank you for the honour of your words.
23:16With you here, we are all, all feel blessed and hopeful for the future.
23:19I'll take my leave now, Lady Ivy.
23:22This is a chance of a lifetime.
23:23What are you waiting for?
23:24Let's go talk to her.
23:26You're right.
23:27Just give me a sec.
23:33There's nothing to be nervous about.
23:35Just follow me.
23:36Wait, what?
23:37We're just going to have a little chat with Ivy.
23:39Stop him or he'll ruin everything.
23:40Dad, please, sit down.
23:42Didn't you say you liked the desserts?
23:43There's plenty more.
23:44You can have them all.
23:46Yeah, if this isn't enough, just tell the kitchen to bring more.
23:48Let them know I sent you.
23:49Oh, I see.
23:50You two are nervous?
23:52No matter.
23:53I'll go talk with little Ivy alone.
23:54You two stay here.
23:55Stand by.
23:56Alone?
23:57Little Ivy?
23:59Your dad's gone mad.
24:00Dad.
24:01Dad, keep your voice down or you'll be in big trouble.
24:03Shh.
24:04Ivy!
24:05Ivy!
24:06Dad, stop yelling.
24:08It's embarrassing.
24:08I mean, has he gone completely muds, calling Lady Ivy like he knows her?
24:11That's Sir Garrett's father.
24:13Garrett is the youngest Knight Paramount ever.
24:15Would his father be so rude?
24:16He probably thinks he can do whatever he wants because his son's the Knight Paramount.
24:20Typical for bottom feeders.
24:22How embarrassing.
24:24Garrett's stuck with that for a father.
24:26Good luck with his career.
24:27What a farce.
24:28Have you found out where the invitation came from?
24:30Lord Cillian said he didn't issue any extras.
24:33Ooh, a forged invite.
24:35Garrett has a broke, bragging fool for a father.
24:38When you get the chances, throw them out.
24:42Lady Ivy, please forgive Garrett's father.
24:45I'll see him out.
24:46I'm so sorry, my lady.
24:47It's his first time in Ororith.
24:52Mr.
24:53It's really you.
24:57By my crest, I swear.
24:59What just happened?
25:00Does that beggar really know Miss Iwi?
25:02You've grown up so much from that little crybaby.
25:05I have someone special to introduce you to.
25:08Oh, who is it?
25:09If it's your friend, I'd be happy to meet them.
25:11This is my son.
25:18Pleasure to meet you.
25:20I'm Ivy Amber.
25:22You can call me Ivy.
25:25I'm Garrett.
25:29Sorry for my father's behavior.
25:33He doesn't know the noble etiquette.
25:39Oh, dear.
25:40The Knight Paramount can't get his words out.
25:43Pull yourself together.
25:46All right, everyone.
25:47Move away.
25:49Me and Ivy's need to have a chat.
25:55Garrett.
25:56You told me your dad was a simple farmer.
25:59How the hell does he know Lady Ivy?
26:04Brother Alex?
26:05I swear, I have no idea.
26:08So, what do you think of him?
26:12He, um, he passed level 7 mage test and became Knight Paramount in his 20s.
26:19He's hardworking and talented.
26:21I think he's got bright future.
26:24But what do you think of him?
26:27I think he's great.
26:29This just got easy.
26:31What do you mean, got easy?
26:34What do you mean, got easy?
26:35What do you mean?
26:37Okay.
26:38Why don't you just tell me what's happening here?
26:40No, this is between you and him.
26:42I can't tell you what to do.
26:44Right.
26:44How about this?
26:45I'll tell him to come over.
26:46You two can have a little talk.
26:49Garrett!
26:50Come here!
26:51Ivy wants to talk to you.
26:53Me?
26:55If you're not going, then I will.
27:00Lady Ivy wants to have a chat.
27:03Lady Ivy, I am yours to command.
27:08Don't mess it up.
27:13What did he say?
27:16Nothing.
27:17He didn't offend you, did he?
27:19If he did, I apologize on his behalf.
27:21Are you always like this?
27:23What do you mean?
27:25I just mean, there's no reason to be so nervous.
27:27I don't bite.
27:30It's all out of respect.
27:31Your grandmaster's student.
27:33One of the most gifted mages of our generation.
27:37I'm just a knight.
27:38I...
27:39I wouldn't dare cross the line.
27:41There's no need to talk about status.
27:43Your status way surpasses mine.
27:46Stop teasing me, Lady Ivy, I beg.
27:49I have no background or powerful family back me up.
27:53Sir Garrett.
27:53Look around.
27:54Who here actually respects me?
27:57But all they care about is heritage and family names.
28:01My father's a simple peasant who can't even use magic.
28:04My armor's a pretty simple costume to them.
28:07But do you really believe that?
28:09Sorry, I'm just letting out my frustrations.
28:12I do respect my father.
28:13I do.
28:13I mean, truly.
28:17Dad.
28:21Dad.
28:23Dad, get up quick.
28:24That's the...
28:24Insolence!
28:25How dare you sit on the holy throne?
28:27That's reserved for Duke Killian.
28:29Guard!
28:30Drag this blasphemous traitor out of here!
28:32My lords, please show him mercy.
28:35My father is not in his right mind.
28:37I will take him away immediately.
28:39Guards!
28:39Take him away and punish him severely.
28:42My lords, Sir Garrett's father just simply wanted to warn the air for the dru.
28:46Warn the air?
28:47What a ridiculous thing to say.
28:50He told me how thrilled he was to meet the Duke.
28:52And it's getting awfully chilly out this harvest moon.
28:57Who'd have guessed his warm regards were literal?
29:01Yes, my father kept telling me how much he wanted to do something for Duke Killian.
29:06He meant no offense.
29:07He's just ignorant to our customs.
29:10He is a simple peasant.
29:13My lords, let's just enjoy ourselves.
29:16After all, this is a wonderful banquet.
29:18Get up, get up.
29:20Right now.
29:21Why is he sitting in that chair?
29:22Come with me.
29:25Lady Ivy, I will look after Mr. Thorne.
29:29Please feel free to continue your conversation with Garrett.
29:34Wow.
29:35Mr. Thorne, that was scary.
29:37Our noble customs are a burden.
29:39Here, drink this.
29:41It'll make you feel better.
29:42What are you?
29:44Can I ask you a question?
29:46What is it?
29:47You and Lady Ivy.
29:48How does someone like her know you?
29:51Oh, well, um...
29:54I am sort of like a...
29:55A mentor.
29:57What sort of mentor?
30:00Nope.
30:01Honestly, I get it.
30:03You do?
30:04Yes.
30:05Especially...
30:06Keep it to yourself.
30:08If the others find out, then they'll come begging for my favours.
30:11And since you were quite rude to me earlier, I won't hold it against you.
30:16Especially as you just stood up for me just now.
30:20Youngsters can be ignorant.
30:21I forgive you.
30:22You'll forgive me?
30:24Who do you think you are?
30:25I'm Sir Alex!
30:26Wait a minute.
30:26What do you think you know?
30:27You and Lady Ivy grew up in this same town.
30:30Yes.
30:31She was an orphan?
30:32Yes.
30:33You taught her how to read and write.
30:35That's what you meant by mentor, isn't it?
30:37Well, I...
30:38Actually, see?
30:40Look who's ignorant now.
30:42There he is.
30:44A troublesome peasant.
30:46Escort him out.
30:48You've eaten enough, you greedy pig.
30:49Let's go.
30:51Go where?
30:53Excuse me?
30:54Go where?
30:55Go where?
30:56Out of the hall, of course.
30:58Don't make a scene.
30:59Out of respect for your son, we will let you leave quietly.
31:04If you don't leave...
31:05We will escort you out.
31:06Yes, but I was invited.
31:08You're invited.
31:11You mean this invitation?
31:13Oh, yes it is.
31:16That's from killing me.
31:30Oracle, mentor.
31:36There is a security threat.
31:38Mentor.
31:43Mentor.
31:47Mentor.
31:52The oracle has returned.
32:05The mentor.
32:07Prepare my horse.
32:17You actually dared to attack the guard.
32:20It's an elemental spell.
32:21He is a mage.
32:23Sorry, everyone.
32:23I didn't mean to scare you.
32:25You bloody lunatic!
32:28Enough!
32:30No one will lay their hands on my mentor.
32:33Are you okay?
32:35Oh, yes.
32:37Mr. Thorne is...
32:38Have my guards upset you, Lady Ivy?
32:40If this were any other occasion, you'd already be dead.
32:44Apologize, you fools!
32:46I thought, my lord, he was yours.
32:47Shut it!
32:50I asked you to tell Eden Thorne to give him his present for the auction.
32:56How could you make a mistake with such a simple command?
32:59Auction?
33:00Of course.
33:01The Doral army is on the move.
33:03War with the Dark Lord approaches.
33:05Every guest here has been asked to provide one artifact for the Royal Auction.
33:11I'm sure you brought something worthy since you were invited, right?
33:19Auctioning off treasures to fund the war, right?
33:22You lads really know how to throw a party.
33:24What is this auction business?
33:26Dad, enough.
33:28This isn't some village market.
33:30You barged in here without even telling me.
33:32Do you have anything prepared?
33:34You did very well.
33:36We haven't got any so-called treasures.
33:38All the proceeds go to the Royal War Fund.
33:39If your offer is deemed insincere, it's considered disloyal to the kingdom.
33:42Oh, I see.
33:43So loyalty is measured in gold now, is it?
33:46Dad, quieter.
33:47Their wealth and titles aren't what I want.
33:50But without the King's favour to get on council, how will I achieve anything?
33:54Duke Sillian's going to be here.
33:56I can't let him thinking I'm too low-boined to help.
33:59Garrett, come take your seats.
34:01The auction is about to begin.
34:03Don't worry.
34:04Even if all you've got is a sack of potatoes fresh from the dirt, we promise not to judge cow
34:09shit on them.
34:12My lords, please excuse my father.
34:14He's not feeling well.
34:16What are you talking about?
34:17I feel fantastic.
34:18More fit than you, son.
34:19Oh, sure.
34:20Farming keeps him fit, if you ignore his rotted brain.
34:24That peasant's son will never be one of us.
34:26Garrett, if your father insists on participating, why not ask him to stay?
34:31The auction's about to begin.
34:33My lords and ladies, if you'd follow through, thank you.
34:40Leave the snacks.
34:49Duke, it's the highest honour of my life to greet you in person.
34:54The auction has already begun, and the nobles will be pleased to see you.
34:57Allow me to take you in.
35:01My lord?
35:05I can't let the famed oracle see me in such an unpresentable state.
35:10My lord?
35:12Find me a room.
35:13I need bath.
35:18We came here to protect the kingdom, while others, I suppose, have come here for the free wine and leftovers.
35:26Look at the state of his boots.
35:30Ten generations of his family couldn't scrape together one single treasure.
35:36What could he possibly offer?
35:39Don't touch that.
35:40Sorry.
35:44Hey.
35:48Over here.
35:58Since we have a special guest today, I'll repeat the rules.
36:04Excuse me?
36:06Now is not the time for snacks.
36:10Sir.
36:12So ridiculous.
36:14I'm sorry.
36:15Couldn't help myself.
36:17Sir.
36:19Listen closely.
36:22All auction items are donated by the guests.
36:26The donor and their relatives may not fit on their own items.
36:30Now, as long as there's no objection, let the auction begin.
36:38Count Roderick Whithard
36:45offers a dawnfire chalice, blessed by the god of dawn.
36:52Starting bid, 300,000 gold coins.
36:56That's a legendary relic.
36:58That's worth over a million gold on the black market.
37:01Count Roderick's devotion to Verne could move the gods to tears.
37:04Just a stupid cup my old pal Dawn used to drink water from.
37:08I don't see what all the fuss is about.
37:11What'd you say, Dad?
37:12I didn't quite catch that.
37:14Uh, uh, uh, uh, it's a lovely cup.
37:17I don't see.
37:18Vichort Alex Sunblade offers a dragon egg.
37:24Birthed over 1,000 years ago by Schmeagel the Moth.
37:28Starting bid, 200,000 gold coins.
37:31Lady Annie Dewey.
37:35Presents a silver thread cloak.
37:38It's immune to blades and arrows.
37:40Starting bid, 400,000 gold coins.
37:44Sir Garrett Thorn.
37:46A knight paramount, he offers a portrait of the legendary oracle.
37:53That's correct.
37:54How peculiar.
37:56Count Roderick also holds a portrait of the oracle, painted by Maestro Mello.
38:04What?
38:09Garrett, this is the charity auction for the Royal Treasury.
38:12Have you bought a fake?
38:13I would never disrespect this auction house with a fake.
38:16Sir, Garrett, are you accusing Count Roderick of being in possession of a fake?
38:21Absolutely not. I'm simply saying the portrait I bought is a family heirloom.
38:27It's real.
38:29Of course. Even a fake be your peasant family's treasure.
38:33Are you quite certain that it's a family heirloom?
38:37Absolutely. Right, Dad?
38:41Mello begged me to sit for that portrait 20 years ago.
38:44I said yes, of course. But I'm not the biggest fan of how it turned out bit too into his
38:50abstract expressionism.
38:52What?
38:52Insolent Rhett! How dare you say that, Master Mello, painted garbage?
38:58That portrait is of the oracle mentor, our kingdom's guardian.
39:03We've had 20 years of peace because of him.
39:07And you claim to be the model?
39:10Nonsense!
39:11Well, maybe I am.
39:13Please, no more words. There'll be real consequences.
39:15Just telling the truth.
39:18My lords, please forgive my father's ignorance.
39:21It is clear to me now our portrait is a fake.
39:25You fool us by bringing a fake.
39:28Commoner with no family lineage.
39:29How could he possibly own anything of value?
39:32Poor Garrett.
39:33A knight to have a father like that.
39:36Unfortunate.
39:37Enough.
39:38Sir Garrett's loyalty is unquestionable.
39:42We've all seen it.
39:44Thank you, my lord.
39:45Should we resume the auction?
39:47My lord, all attendees must donate a gift.
39:50It's a mandatory rule.
39:51Well, he's a lowborn knight.
39:53Make this exception just this once.
39:56But my lord, that wouldn't be fair to other.
40:01No need for exceptions.
40:02Me and my father will leave.
40:04Let's go, Dad.
40:05Leave?
40:06We just got here.
40:07Dad, please. I'm begging you.
40:09What's the rush?
40:09If this old rubbish counts as his treasure, then your old dad's got a whole host of treasure back home.
40:16Dad, snap out of it.
40:18You're a twenty-year farmer.
40:21Barely enough to get by and half gone to poor mage apprentice.
40:24There's no way you have anything worthy of this auction.
40:29My lord, please forget my father.
40:32He's clueless about noble etiquette.
40:35He and I will leave.
40:36Wait.
40:38Garrett, you serve in Aura with your father's secrets.
40:42Maybe deeper than you know.
40:44He has treasure.
40:46Well, show this.
40:47War funds demand every coin.
40:50Gold or copper.
40:53I'm just curious.
40:55What treasure could your father possibly offer?
40:58Now, bring me paints and canvas.
41:01Canvas?
41:01What are you doing?
41:02I'm going to paint a new portrait of the Oracle.
41:05If this one's fake, I'm just going to wrestle up a new one.
41:08Dad, no.
41:09They won't mess with you.
41:10I'll find another way out for us.
41:12Bring him what he needs.
41:14Your dad can paint.
41:19Garrett.
41:19Garrett.
41:21If it's ugly, don't make me bid on it.
41:25My lord.
41:27Why waste your time with these peasants?
41:29Let the clown have his way.
41:31It's my chance to get back at Garrett.
41:34No one bids on the painting.
41:36And I will graciously buy it.
41:38Then the Knight Paramount will owe me a favor.
41:41An excellent strategy, my lord.
41:45That's it?
41:46You're done?
41:47Yes.
41:47I mean, it's not bad.
41:50Can't rush art.
41:51You see?
41:54No.
41:56Oh my goodness!
42:00That's impossible.
42:05That's impossible!
42:08Goodness.
42:09Jeez!
42:11You actually painted that.
42:13I mean, didn't have much time, so I didn't use all my talent, but it'll do.
42:18You're not serious, are you?
42:19With this painting, it's...
42:21What about it?
42:22You're calling...
42:24This a portrait of the Oracle?
42:26That's just...
42:28A stick figure!
42:31A huge insult!
42:33You're being quite disrespectful, my friend.
42:35You dare call this the famed Oracle mentor?
42:37This is...
42:38Outrageous!
42:39Behold!
42:40His so-called masterpiece.
42:42A blind toddler could draw better.
42:44No hint of resemblance at all.
42:45I...
42:46I think it's pretty accurate.
42:47Another piece of trash.
42:49Stop!
42:50That way!
42:50Are you sure you want to destroy this?
42:54I...
42:54Hmm.
42:56Put it down.
42:57That's no way to act.
42:59As bad as it is, it does show Mr. Thorne's devotion.
43:04You can't ruin it.
43:06A thousand apologies, my lord.
43:07I was just outraged.
43:10You have given Sir Garrett every chance, and this is what they bring?
43:14He's trying to humiliate you and everyone else present.
43:21Is that right?
43:23Absolutely not.
43:24Never.
43:25Well, incompetence or insult, we'll find out soon enough.
43:28Why not start bidding on this masterpiece?
43:33Okay, everyone.
43:34Back to your seats.
43:39Well, well, well.
43:41What should the starting bid be?
43:44Half a copper moin.
43:47Half?
43:48This is fine art.
43:49I'm being generous.
43:50It's more than it's worth.
43:54I'm being generous.
43:55It's more than it's worth.
43:57You think it's worthless?
43:59This is an original thorn.
44:02Dad, cut it out.
44:03Do not mess with these nobles.
44:04They'll punish you without mercy, son.
44:08Ladies and gentlemen, let the auction begin again.
44:14Our first item is a portrait of the Oracle by Eden Thorne.
44:24As you can see, even the wisest of critics would fail to find a shred of artistry in it.
44:29Our starting bid is half a copper coin.
44:33You'd be insane to bid on that.
44:34Maybe if you're out of toilet paper.
44:37The canvas seems absorbent.
44:40One copper boin.
44:42Guessing someone really is desperate.
44:44Sorry, I seem to be out of firewood.
44:46One copper coin.
44:48One copper coin going once.
44:49One copper coin going twice.
44:52Two coppers.
44:54Two and a half.
44:59Little Ivy, do you want to bid on it?
45:02You could put it above your fireplace.
45:05Dad, cut it out.
45:06Dad, cut it out.
45:06Go leave Lady Ivy out of this.
45:08Please forgive him, my lady.
45:10Of course I do.
45:12But I'm not yet worthy of such a masterpiece.
45:15I beg you pardon?
45:17Ten gold coins?
45:21Only a count could bid gold on toilet paper.
45:26I'm out.
45:27Ten gold coins by Count Roderick.
45:29Any higher?
45:31Thank you, my lord.
45:32Garret, your father's actions aren't your burden.
45:35Let this purchase settle it.
45:37Come with me and I'll take you under my wing
45:39so you don't fall into his step.
45:41Such generosity from the Count.
45:43Truly above approach.
45:44Ten gold coins for that disaster?
45:47Roderick must really want Garret on his side.
45:50My lord, I won't forget this kindness.
45:53I am yours to command.
45:54Oh, so.
45:55Ten gold coins is all it takes to buy you, is it?
45:58It's not about the money.
45:59You have caused nothing but trouble.
46:01Son, I don't think that we should...
46:03First the banquet, now the auction.
46:04I have fought so hard to carve out a spot in the capital for myself.
46:07For you.
46:08And you act like my career or predicament don't matter at all.
46:12I can't take it anymore.
46:14Count Roderick is the only one who shows us any respect.
46:18That is worth way more than ten gold coins.
46:20What if someone just bids it a little bit higher?
46:24No one wants that painting.
46:25Those bids are just to humiliate us.
46:27We're nothing but a joke to them.
46:29So, your father finds my offer dissatisfying.
46:32Well, I'll reject my bid.
46:34No, Count Roderick, wait.
46:35I'll take it.
46:42I'll take it.
46:45Dukexillion.
46:46I bid one million gold coins.
46:49What?
46:50No, no.
46:51Ten million.
46:52Ten million?
46:53What?
47:04Please don't bow for me, my lord.
47:06I can't accept the honour.
47:10Dukexillion just bowed at Lord Roderick?
47:12That's impossible.
47:14The Duke outranks him.
47:15Looks like we all underestimated Lord Roderick.
47:18Anyone who's able to host the Harvest Banquet clearly has a lot more than just inherited titles.
47:24That's what a real man should be like.
47:25I taught you nothing, son.
47:27That isn't what a real man is.
47:29Dad, what are you talking about?
47:31They'll take your words as treason.
47:32My lord, please forgive my father's disrespect.
47:36He is old and confused and...
47:39Broken another rule, have I?
47:41Our kingdom values free speech.
47:44Your unrepentant, repulsive actions have consequences.
47:49Will you leave voluntarily or shall I call the guard?
47:54No, no, no, no.
47:55No need.
47:56I'll show myself out.
47:59Don't worry.
48:02Will you wait me?
48:03Yes, sir.
48:05Dukexillion, wait!
48:07What are you doing?
48:09Did you think I was bowing to you?
48:20Dude, you didn't tell me.
48:21Your dad was friends with the friggin' Duke.
48:26Lord Roderick?
48:27No need to call me Lord Roderick.
48:29It's so distant.
48:31Just call me Roderick.
48:33Yes, Lord.
48:34I mean, sir.
48:34I mean, Roderick.
48:35Roderick.
48:38Sir Garrett.
48:39I, uh, I didn't get to tell you how much I admire your father.
48:43A man serving quietly in the countryside, it's the backbone this Hengdon needs.
48:49Farmers are Verne's foundation, after all.
48:51You flatter me, Lady Annie.
48:54I was clearly too ignorant to appreciate the painting's subtle brilliance.
48:59Look at these curved lines, and this rich black ink, and this empty space.
49:04So bold, Sir Garrett.
49:05I've heard tales of your talent I am barrened.
49:08Brian missed.
49:10Dearest Garrett, you must come visit.
49:13The riverbanks are simply enchanting.
49:15Don't listen to that.
49:16Sir Garrett, come drink the finest wine in Auro with me tomorrow night.
49:19Hey, back off!
49:21Garrett and I were best buds back in the Magic Academy.
49:24And anyway, me and Garrett have plans tomorrow night, don't we, Garrett?
49:28Let's not overwhelm Sir Garrett, we have an auction to finish.
49:39Garrett, are you mad at me?
49:41What?
49:42No, not at all.
49:43Why didn't you tell me the truth?
49:45About the relationship between your father and the Duke Sillian?
49:49I...
49:59Mentor, it's such an honor to have you here.
50:01Your return will rekindle hope across all of Vern...
50:04Don't call me Mentor.
50:06I have never taught you, nor have I passed down any prophecies.
50:11Mentor, but Mentor, you...
50:14You sheltered the kingdom.
50:15You defended the weak.
50:17Many mages, me included, were so inspired by your unwavering justice.
50:22How could I not call you Mentor?
50:26That's my master.
50:28Oh, yes, yes, yes, it's Isabella.
50:31She's not coming to see me, is she?
50:34Not with that grand entrance.
50:35The whole of Aura with will know.
50:38Bit dramatic, isn't it?
50:39I'm sure she's just trying to impress you, Mentor.
50:42You are quite a big deal.
50:44And with the Dark Lord's threat...
50:46Yes, yes, yes.
50:47Well, let us see how much little Isabella is actually needed.
50:52Stellar drift.
50:55Blood moon in a dark sky.
50:57An omen of disaster.
51:00Cillian Vinfield.
51:01At your command.
51:02Return to the Harvest Hall.
51:03Immediately.
51:04You mean...
51:05The Dark Lord curses to breach the light barrier.
51:08Protect the young.
51:09Don't let the shadows infect them.
51:11Yes, sir.
51:17Huh?
51:20Lady Annie, is everything all right?
51:25Yes, I'm fine.
51:26Any persons who command the vines and the trees, that's the High Priestess, Lady Vinewood.
51:33She was the Oracle's first apprentice.
51:36After he disappeared, she became the most powerful mage on the continent.
51:39To control trees in the heart of Aura with.
51:42That can only be the High Priestess's might.
51:45High Priestess?
51:48What did you say?
51:50Oh, just like that.
51:52Someday I hope to be as strong as Priestess Isabella.
51:56You are already a level 7.
51:57High Priestess had achieved level 9 by the time she is 20.
52:01That's real talent.
52:03Genius among geniuses.
52:05We are all, but compared to her, just amateurs.
52:09Sadly, you're right, Lord Roderick.
52:11But still, don't be discouraged.
52:13You still have an invite to the banquets.
52:15You're still part of the elite.
52:16We're not even in the same league as the Celestial Trinity, let alone the Oracle Mentor.
52:21They've walked paths we can't fathom.
52:23High Priestess Isabella, Sage Elaine, Guardian Arthur, all three have hit demigod level.
52:28The Oracle is even more powerful than my master.
52:31I dare not imagine his limits.
52:33I would be happy to see the High Priestess in my lifetime.
52:37However, to meet the Oracle, I would die with no regrets.
52:44Lord Cillian, you've returned.
52:47And Mr. Edenthorne?
52:48Mentor had a couple of things to do first, so he asked me to return.
52:53Please go on.
52:55Mentor?
52:57Uh, are you trying to tell me that Sir Garrett's father is the Oracle Mentor?
53:03Wait, wait, wait, what?
53:04My dad?
53:05Oracle?
53:06Yes, your father is my mentor.
53:09What?
53:10Garrett, your dad is the Oracle?
53:12Why are you so confounded in your thoughts, dear boy?
53:15Yes, he was the first one to guide me in magic.
53:17Hence, he is my mentor.
53:20So he was the first person that mentored you?
53:22We have an auction to resume.
53:23Hold it.
53:24The portrait of the Mentor.
53:26Are there any more bids?
53:27No, no more.
53:28Give it to me.
53:28I'd like to take a closer look.
53:30Would you like to admire it?
53:33Is there a problem?
53:35No, sir.
53:36Let the auction begin again.
53:39Mentor's last words must have reason.
53:41Could the Dark Leodort have already infiltrated this place?
53:47Lord Roderick, that was terrifying.
53:49For a second, I actually thought Garrett's father was the legendary Oracle Mentor.
53:56Come on, the Duke only thought it was the Oracle because he mentored him early on.
53:59Lady Ivy, all the respect you showed my father, was it because he was Lord Cillian's mentor?
54:06You could say that.
54:10Something's off with her.
54:16The Bloodmasc curse!
54:23The Bloodmasc curse!
54:38Miss Annie, are you here?
54:46Dewey, stand down!
54:49Eyes red, aura of the shadow.
54:51She's possessed by the Dark Lord.
54:58How dare you hurt my sister.
55:03I'll make you pay for that.
55:07Stop!
55:15It's the Bloodmasc curse.
55:17Bloodmasc curse?
55:18The Bloodmasc is a sign of the Dark Lord's curse.
55:21It spreads among living beings, turning the cursed into living bombs.
55:25Anyone below level 9 is practically dead.
55:29Everyone, summon your elemental powers now!
55:32Cure the curse or die!
56:01Oh, dear God, no!
56:07Life rots.
56:09The Dark Lord will transcend all.
56:16Dear Duke Cillian,
56:20will you be my first offering?
56:27Oh, what a load of crap!
56:30And what is that smell?
56:31Oh, God, I'm gonna throw up.
56:34Excuse me.
56:36Oh, hello.
56:40Oh, what a load of crap!
56:43And what is that smell?
56:44Oh, God, I'm gonna throw up.
56:46Excuse me.
56:48Mental.
56:50God, get out of here!
56:51It smells like a rotting corpse out here.
56:55Why isn't he affected by the Bloodmasc curse?
56:57The Bloodmasc curse only affects mages.
57:01He looks like he is a commoner after all.
57:04Don't come any closer, Dad!
57:06Why not?
57:07What are you planning on doing that requires me to leave?
57:10Oh, hello.
57:13What's this kid doing?
57:15Is it...
57:16Is it a bit of roleplay?
57:17Dad, she's possessed by the Dark Lord.
57:20Anyone who touches the Bloodmist will explode.
57:22Leave!
57:24Bit of an overreaction, huh?
57:26Worsens for stronger mages.
57:27Look, Duke Cillian can't even speak.
57:30You're our only hope.
57:31Go get help.
57:32By the time someone else gets here,
57:34you're all gonna be charred.
57:36So, I'll handle this.
57:37Dad!
57:38Don't get any closer!
57:39Garrett!
57:39Your dad's lost his mind!
57:41It's gone!
57:41It's all gone!
57:46You must have a death wish.
57:49It's all gone!
57:50Throw GoLAN
57:50Go AV
