1
00:00:00,910 --> 00:00:06,860
Lord Ains, I'm off to make the Re-Estize Kingdom
fully recognize the Sorcerer Kingdom.
2
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:08,120
Yes.
3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:09,860
I'm sure the people of
Re-Estize will understand
4
00:00:09,860 --> 00:00:13,370
the power of the Sorcerer Kingdom just by
looking at the size of this diplomatic mission.
5
00:00:14,270 --> 00:00:15,780
Still, be careful.
6
00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:20,290
We still haven't come across the
people who brainwashed Shalltear.
7
00:00:20,290 --> 00:00:25,290
Yes, I will be sure to hold the Ginnungagap
in my hands at all times.
8
00:00:25,290 --> 00:00:26,680
As long as you have that,
9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,170
you shouldn't be affected by the
brainwashing of another world item...
10
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:33,670
This is your first time going out alone.
11
00:00:34,370 --> 00:00:38,000
Retreat immediately if you sense any danger.
12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Do you have a teleportation item on you?
13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,680
There might be enemies that'll stop you
from teleporting when they attack.
14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,100
Have you thought of countermeasures?
15
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:46,940
And...
16
00:00:48,230 --> 00:00:50,000
I guess that's enough nagging.
17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,820
Also, about Demiurge...
18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,190
Never mind. It's nothing.
19
00:00:54,190 --> 00:00:55,910
Are you sure?
20
00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:57,010
Yeah.
21
00:00:57,010 --> 00:00:59,480
I want to know what Demiurge is thinking,
22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,290
but it'd look bad for an overlord
to ask others to explain...
23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,600
One last thing.
24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,490
They say it's easier to get sick
during the change of seasons.
25
00:01:09,490 --> 00:01:12,000
Even though you're immune
to all known illnesses,
26
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,360
there could be an unknown disease in
this world that catches you unaware.
27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,680
Be careful.
28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,930
Lord Ains! I know of an amazing
preventative for such things!
29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,220
Oh?
30
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:23,680
A kiss!
31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,920
A kiss?
32
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,400
Yes! A kiss reduces stress and revitalizes
the parasympathetic nervous system,
33
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,650
which in turn increases the
activity of the immune system.
34
00:01:30,650 --> 00:01:33,190
In other words, a kiss can prevent illness!
35
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:35,070
So a kiss is best!
36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:35,950
Huh?!
37
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,960
A kiss on the mouth seemed too much,
so one on the cheek will have to do.
38
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:54,590
I thought you'd completely
disregard my request!
39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,060
Huh? Wait, what?
40
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,470
Albedo, don't cry.
41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,580
Albedo. Stop crying.
42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,610
Are you all right?
43
00:02:18,610 --> 00:02:20,070
Yes, Lord Ains.
44
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:23,990
I'm sorry for showing such an
embarrassing side of myself.
45
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:26,620
I see. Well, you should go now.
46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,360
Understood, Lord Momonga!
47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,260
Forget everything you saw just now.
48
00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:40,700
Understood.

53

We thank the Lords.
54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,530
The first topic of discussion is regarding
the Sorcerer Kingdom Ains Ooal Gown.

with the Baharuth Empire,
59
00:03:02,570 --> 00:03:07,790
{\an8}the army of the Re-Estize Kingdom suffered
a devastating attack from Ains Ooal Gown.
60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,640
{\an8}Gown has taken the fortress city
of E-Rantel from the kingdom
61
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,980
{\an8}and proclaimed the founding of the
Sorcerer Kingdom Ains Ooal Gown.

{\an8}Emperor Jircniv has announced
to neighboring countries

{\an8}that the Empire acknowledges this claim.

{\an8}Should we have intervened before
the information was confirmed?
72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,940
{\an8}We previously agreed that it was
too dangerous to go against Gown.

{\an5}Cardinal of Water
Zinedine Delan Guelfi
85
00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:48,120
The Black Scripture's Thousand Leagues
Astrologer observed the recent war.
86
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,750
However, the final report was delayed
due to various issues. My apologies.
87
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:58,880
The document in your hands contains the exact
words of the Thousand Leagues Astrologer.
88
00:04:00,870 --> 00:04:03,260
Raymond. Is this true?
89
00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:08,510
Yes. As long as everyone believes the
words of the Thousand Leagues Astrologer.
90
00:04:08,850 --> 00:04:13,330
No one at this table would doubt her words.
91
00:04:13,330 --> 00:04:14,270
However...
92
00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:16,200
The number of Death Knights...
93
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,600
She reported over 500 undead estimated
to surpass the difficulty of 100?
94
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,280
Perhaps he used illusion magic?
95
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,960
The Thousand Leagues Astrologer
would not make such a mistake.
96
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,640
She has also confirmed the presence of
97
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,790
Death Knights in the
Sorcerer Kingdom's capital city.
98
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:35,860
Then, what action can we
take to protect the people?
99
00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:40,170
Perhaps the Black Scripture
could go against him.
100
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Impossible.
101
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,960
As the former third seat
of the Black Scripture,
102
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,810
I say it's sheer madness to think a human
can go against a few hundred Death Knights.
103
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,250
But...
104
00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:54,810
God-kin are a different story.
105
00:04:57,530 --> 00:05:05,880
Two God-kin would be enough to fight
against an army of Death Knights.
106
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,820
That is reassuring.
107
00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:13,040
Raymond, what are you hiding?
108
00:05:13,650 --> 00:05:16,920
What do you mean, Zinedine?
109
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:19,650
There is one thing I'd like to ask.
110
00:05:19,650 --> 00:05:22,670
Why did the Thousand Leagues
Astrologer go into seclusion?
111
00:05:23,750 --> 00:05:27,060
Was she afraid of the large army of undead?
112
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:30,300
No, she must have felt despair...
113
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:33,460
She witnessed a power that
even God-kin cannot defeat.
114
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,060
Is this truly her full report?
115
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:41,950
I was hoping to find a solution first, but...
116
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,070
This is everything that the
Thousand Leagues Astrologer has seen.
117
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,050
I see.
118
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,460
No one could easily believe
a sight like this.
119
00:05:57,770 --> 00:06:00,710
I still don't want to believe it.
120
00:06:00,710 --> 00:06:05,210
A single spell that can
kill over 130,000 people...
121
00:06:05,210 --> 00:06:07,580
This magic is in the realm of the gods.
122
00:06:07,580 --> 00:06:10,050
Was this spell eleventh-tier magic?
123
00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:11,220
If so...
124
00:06:11,650 --> 00:06:13,350
The descent of a god?
125
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,240
Has the time finally come?
126
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:18,230
It seems so. Has it been 200 years?
127
00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:21,150
If the legends are true, that is.
128
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:25,400
But the national strength of the
Re-Estize Kingdom is far behind the others.
129
00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:27,990
Those fools.
130
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:31,510
We gave them support and a large and
safe region for their development.
131
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:38,000
All in hopes they would cultivate heroes to
fight against and invade other non-humans.
132
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,250
Who would have thought that their peace and
prosperity would cause rotting from within?
133
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,510
They even produced drugs and began
spreading them through the Empire.
134
00:06:47,790 --> 00:06:51,000
Their level of incompetence is unsalvageable.
135
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,890
We must change our plans.
136
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:56,390
We'll have the Empire take over the Kingdom.
137
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,390
That seems to be the best course of action.
138
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:01,590
Let's return to the topic at hand.
139
00:07:01,590 --> 00:07:04,910
The one who destroyed the
Sunlit Scripture sent to the Kingdom
140
00:07:04,910 --> 00:07:07,030
must have been the Sorcerer King.
141
00:07:07,030 --> 00:07:13,000
Could he be an ally of Honyopnyoko, the
vampire that the Black Scripture encountered?
142
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,090
They're both undead creatures, too.
143
00:07:15,090 --> 00:07:19,720
Jaldabaoth is another powerful monster
that wreaked havoc in the Kingdom
144
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,040
around the same time.
145
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,020
Sorcerer King, Honyopnyoko, and Jaldabaoth...
146
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:30,260
Why did so many powerful inhuman monsters
appear in the Kingdom at the same time?
147
00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:32,880
It hardly seems a coincidence.
148
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,760
Perhaps they are working together?
149
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:38,740
What about the adventurer, Momon?
150
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:40,720
Where did he come from?
151
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,840
He defeated the vampire and
fought against Jaldabaoth,
152
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,150
but became an ally of the Sorcerer King.
153
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,400
So maybe the vampire and Jaldabaoth
154
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,280
are a separate group from
the Sorcerer King and Momon.
155
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:57,030
The worst case scenario would be
the four of them working together.
156
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:59,670
That scenario is highly unlikely.
157
00:07:59,670 --> 00:08:02,660
Momon fought and destroyed the vampire.
158
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,550
Shouldn't we try to get the Sorcerer King
and Momon to turn against each other first?
159
00:08:09,060 --> 00:08:12,800
We should avoid involving ourselves directly.
160
00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:14,800
I agree.
161
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:19,010
We have suffered heavy losses.
162
00:08:19,010 --> 00:08:22,540
When Windstrider betrayed us, we lost the
Crown of Wisdom and the shaman princess.
163
00:08:22,540 --> 00:08:25,570
We also lost the Sunlit Scripture
to the Sorcerer King.
164
00:08:25,570 --> 00:08:30,820
Though the Black Scripture managed to survive,
the loss of Kaire has greatly weakened it.
165
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,570
There is no need to roast meat in front
of a sleeping dragon at a time like this.
166
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:41,270
First, we should get in contact with
the Empire and gather some information.
167
00:08:41,270 --> 00:08:46,580
I hope that Emperor isn't truly wagging
his tail for the Sorcerer King.
168
00:08:48,970 --> 00:08:52,670
Damn! You bastard!
Die! Die and rot away!
169
00:08:54,410 --> 00:08:56,550
No, he's an undead.
170
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,420
Should I curse him to live?
171
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:05,940
I've heard from a priest that you can
destroy the undead with holy magic.
172
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,350
It's all that Sorcerer King's fault...
173
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,590
Come in.
174
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,240
Your Highness.
175
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,370
This mountain of paperwork...
Is this all from the knights?
176
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Yeah. The elites of the
Empire all want to resign.
177
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,060
It seems they've lost their will to fight
after the war on the Katze Plains,
178
00:09:35,060 --> 00:09:37,510
spending their sleepless
nights shaking in fear.
179
00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:42,100
Would you like the secretaries to
handle this paperwork from now on?
180
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,850
No.
181
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:48,440
I'm the one who allowed the knights to
voice their opinions directly to me.
182
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,840
I can't afford to lose
their support right now.
183
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,890
What do you need?
184
00:09:53,890 --> 00:09:57,490
Yes, the merchants you hoped
to hear from have contacted us.
185
00:09:57,490 --> 00:09:59,240
They have?!
186
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,870
They have some very valuable merchandise
187
00:10:01,870 --> 00:10:05,120
and would like to have an
audience with you soon.
188
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,250
Very valuable merchandise...
189
00:10:07,810 --> 00:10:10,470
So the Slane Theocracy is also wary of
190
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:14,000
the Sorcerer Kingdom and wants
to cooperate with the Empire.
191
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,010
I'd have to ally with the Theocracy to
have any chance against Ains Ooal Gown.
192
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:23,860
But it would be too dangerous
to invite their messenger here.
193
00:10:23,860 --> 00:10:27,210
These plans must be kept secret at all costs.
194
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:31,520
Your Highness,
195
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,570
you will meet the adventurers from the
Silver Thread Bird in front of the colosseum?
196
00:10:35,570 --> 00:10:36,030
Yes.
197
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,280
I'll have them guard our perimeter
while I speak with the merchants.
198
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,620
I want them to prevent
any sort of eavesdropping,
199
00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:45,980
both physically and magically.
200
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:50,420
It's true that adamantite adventurers
are the strongest force of mankind.
201
00:10:50,970 --> 00:10:54,040
But they cannot surpass mankind's limits.
202
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,390
I heard that the Kingdom's adventurer, Momon,
protected the people from the Sorcerer King.
203
00:10:59,390 --> 00:11:02,050
The Silver Thread Bird are
also adamantite adventurers.
204
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,680
I need them to pull this off.
205
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:08,000
Your Highness, please don't
make that kind of face.
206
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,440
He's right. You should show your
usual confident expression.
207
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,260
Sorry.
208
00:11:15,260 --> 00:11:20,090
Can I complain just a bit,
since we're alone here?
209
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,070
Seriously, what should I do?
210
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,580
Why'd a monster like that even appear?
211
00:11:27,070 --> 00:11:28,740
The knights can only tremble in fear
212
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:32,580
and my strongest trump card,
Fluder, defected to that side!
213
00:11:32,580 --> 00:11:35,710
It's true that I asked him
to cast some magic for us.
214
00:11:35,710 --> 00:11:38,640
But that was because I needed
to know what he was capable of
215
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,720
before considering any countermeasures!
216
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,760
Is that my fault?!
217
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,100
Is everything that goes wrong my fault?!
218
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,130
Everyone is against me!
219
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,730
But I don't plan to give up yet.
220
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,490
There must be something we can do.
221
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,870
Your Highness, I was next to the
Sorcerer King in that battle.
222
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,370
He is not an entity that
man can hope to defeat.
223
00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:14,260
Isn't going against the Sorcerer Kingdom
a foolish thing to do?
224
00:12:14,260 --> 00:12:17,130
You're absolutely right.
225
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,770
But think about it.
226
00:12:19,770 --> 00:12:22,980
If Sorcerer King wishes to destroy the Empire,
227
00:12:22,980 --> 00:12:25,980
there is no guarantee of mercy,
even if we surrender willingly.
228
00:12:25,980 --> 00:12:27,010
That's...
229
00:12:27,460 --> 00:12:29,010
That's why.
230
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,020
That's why I have to talk
with the Slane Theocracy.
231
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:35,150
They have a longer history than our empire.
232
00:12:35,150 --> 00:12:38,620
If they have some weapon or knowledge
that can give us an upper hand,
233
00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:41,290
I can still put up a fight.
234
00:12:48,140 --> 00:12:50,290
It is an honor to meet you.
235
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:56,420
We are the adamantite adventurer
team, Silver Thread Bird.
236
00:12:56,730 --> 00:13:01,550
I have heard a lot of stories about
the strongest team in our Empire.
237
00:13:01,870 --> 00:13:03,600
Thank you very much, Your Highness.
238
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,860
I am the leader and bard
of our team, Freivalds.
239
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:10,360
Allow me to introduce you to the others...
240
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,650
Please don't sing, Leader.
241
00:13:12,650 --> 00:13:14,740
It gives me goosebumps.
242
00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:17,740
My apologies, Your Highness.
243
00:13:17,740 --> 00:13:21,330
This is the eyes and ears of our team, Soder.
244
00:13:22,210 --> 00:13:23,900
Fan Long.
245
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,560
He is our warrior.
246
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,490
And next is the one who heals our wounds...
247
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:33,370
I am called Unkei.
248
00:13:33,370 --> 00:13:36,750
I see. Then he must be Powapon.
249
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:38,820
That is correct.
250
00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:43,380
We will protect you, Your Highness.
Please be at ease.
251
00:13:43,610 --> 00:13:45,300
I'm depending on all of you today.
252
00:13:51,090 --> 00:13:54,980
Your Highness, there are no magic items nearby.
253
00:13:54,980 --> 00:13:57,690
I do not sense any active magic, either.
254
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,900
Do you have countermeasures for
other kinds of eavesdropping?
255
00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:05,940
I think this is already more than enough.
256
00:14:06,540 --> 00:14:07,670
I see.
257
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:09,390
Good job.
258
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:12,080
I will begin a very important discussion now,
259
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,080
and would like all of you
to stand guard outside.
260
00:14:15,310 --> 00:14:19,830
It would be extremely difficult to protect
Your Highness while standing outside...
261
00:14:20,050 --> 00:14:21,680
I understand your worries.
262
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,210
But as the ruler of the Empire,
this is point not negotiable.
263
00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:26,980
It can't be helped.
264
00:14:26,980 --> 00:14:29,780
We'll stand guard outside, then.
265
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:32,470
What kind of people will be visiting?
266
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:38,100
The head priests of the fire and wind temples,
and four of their attendants.
267
00:14:38,430 --> 00:14:42,860
I see. May we break the lock of
the door as a safety measure?
268
00:14:43,170 --> 00:14:46,940
Do it if you think it's necessary.
269
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,450
Oh, you can't destroy the door.
270
00:14:54,450 --> 00:14:55,410
Why?
271
00:14:55,410 --> 00:15:00,090
Wasn't the plan to break the door
instead of the lock on accident
272
00:15:00,090 --> 00:15:04,520
and end up joining them
in the meeting anyway?
273
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,690
We won't do that this time.
274
00:15:06,690 --> 00:15:09,930
I don't want to get involved in
the muddy waters of politics.
275
00:15:10,170 --> 00:15:11,430
Got it.
276
00:15:13,850 --> 00:15:17,180
Should I drag all of you into
these muddy waters with me?
277
00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:25,890
As expected of adamantite adventurers...
278
00:15:29,460 --> 00:15:31,610
After Fluder's betrayal,
279
00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:34,700
I no longer have anyone highly skilled
and knowledgeable by my side.
280
00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:39,340
Help from adventurers like the Silver Thread Bird
will continue to be an absolute necessity.
281
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,660
Things are getting exciting.
282
00:15:44,970 --> 00:15:48,650
I've heard that the Warrior King
will be making a rare appearance.
283
00:15:50,850 --> 00:15:52,710
What a peaceful scene.
284
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:54,220
You think so?
285
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:57,200
They don't know the situation
the Empire is in.
286
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,160
They don't know that a monster
exists so close to them.
287
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,840
What is it?
288
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,270
The priests have arrived.
289
00:16:15,530 --> 00:16:17,280
{\an5}m 0 0 l 132 0 l 132 60 l 0 60
290
00:16:15,530 --> 00:16:17,280
{\an5}m 0 0 l 132 0 l 132 60 l 0 60
291
00:16:15,530 --> 00:16:17,280
{\an5}Fire Temple of the Empire
Head Priest
292
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,790
{\an5}m 0 0 l 132 0 l 132 60 l 0 60
293
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,790
{\an5}m 0 0 l 132 0 l 132 60 l 0 60
294
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,790
{\an5}Wind Temple of the Empire
Head Priest
295
00:16:19,190 --> 00:16:22,820
Thank you very much for your invitation.
296
00:16:24,210 --> 00:16:26,960
Thank you for coming. Please come this way.
297
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,500
The main match is about to begin.
298
00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:39,970
A inquiry from the Theocracy.
299
00:16:41,990 --> 00:16:47,230
The fact that they handed me the letter
personally shows how cautious they are.
300
00:16:47,230 --> 00:16:49,820
Or shows how much they
don't trust the Empire.
301
00:16:51,530 --> 00:16:56,110
Even His Imperial Highness El Nix
is in attendance for this grand match!
302
00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:58,240
Everyone, please take a look at the VIP room!
303
00:17:00,690 --> 00:17:02,250
Excuse me.
304
00:17:07,250 --> 00:17:09,670
Thank you very much, Your Imperial Highness!
305
00:17:09,670 --> 00:17:14,670
Now, everyone! We will begin
the Warrior King's match!
306
00:17:14,670 --> 00:17:16,900
Warrior King?
307
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:20,930
The king of warriors. It's a title
given to the strongest swordsman.
308
00:17:21,230 --> 00:17:24,730
The current eighth title holder is
considered the strongest in history.
309
00:17:24,730 --> 00:17:27,560
To the point where there haven't
been many challengers lately.
310
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,240
Then who is fighting him today?
311
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,120
The match was suddenly decided,
so even I don't know who it is.
312
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:38,200
It seems they've kept it a secret
to garner more excitement as well.
313
00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:42,440
The Warrior King is a war troll and
the strongest entity in the Empire.
314
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,210
Is it possible to get him
under the Empire's control?
315
00:17:47,050 --> 00:17:52,590
I'm surprised to hear that from you,
who thinks mankind is the chosen race.
316
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,650
Please consider it a personal opinion.
317
00:17:55,650 --> 00:18:00,330
Enough talk. Please answer
the questions, Your Highness.
318
00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:02,230
Yes, of course.
319
00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:04,840
Thank you all for waiting!
320
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,140
The challenger is about to enter the ring!
321
00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:12,150
I'm sure everyone knows
the challenger's name.
322
00:18:12,150 --> 00:18:16,720
King of the Sorcerer Kingdom,
His Majesty Ains Ooal Gown!
323
00:18:21,850 --> 00:18:22,940
Huh?!
324
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:28,160
Ains Ooal Gown?
325
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,040
N-No way.
326
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:33,800
That's impossible.
327
00:18:36,050 --> 00:18:38,120
Wait. This is a trap!
328
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:40,260
The Sorcerer Kingdom's trap? Or...?
329
00:18:40,260 --> 00:18:40,930
No!
330
00:18:40,930 --> 00:18:43,560
You decided on the meeting
place, your Highness.
331
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,830
That's true.
332
00:18:44,830 --> 00:18:48,730
But do you think I would be
in such a panic if I knew?!
333
00:18:48,730 --> 00:18:50,510
You expect us to believe that?
334
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:55,860
You planned to force our involvement?
Or perhaps sell us out?
335
00:18:56,170 --> 00:18:58,570
No! This is a huge misunderstanding.
336
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,110
How did the information leak?
337
00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:05,240
Maybe he knew everything from the start?
338
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,580
He scattered the bait and
waited for me to bite.
339
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,170
This is bad. I need to escape!
340
00:19:10,170 --> 00:19:14,020
Master Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.
341
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,740
Long time no see.
342
00:19:20,550 --> 00:19:23,150
L-Long time no see, Master Gown.
343
00:19:23,150 --> 00:19:26,060
I would have never expected to
see you in a place like this...
344
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:28,550
I feel the same way.
345
00:19:28,970 --> 00:19:32,060
Coincidence is such a scary thing.
346
00:19:32,980 --> 00:19:34,350
I'm sure of it.
347
00:19:34,350 --> 00:19:36,800
He's been in control of everything.
348
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,120
He discovered my meeting with the Theocracy
and came to prevent our alliance!
349
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,320
On top of that, he's managed
to pressure both countries...
350
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,080
Are these your acquaintances, Your Highness?
351
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,070
How nefarious!
352
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:49,640
This is a test of loyalty.
353
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,130
He wants to see if I'll protect the Theocracy
354
00:19:51,130 --> 00:19:53,210
or ally with the Sorcerer Kingdom
and sell them out!
355
00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:57,040
Excuse me. I should normally
introduce myself,
356
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,080
but a sudden emergency requires our leave.
357
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,400
Please ask His Highness
about us at a later time.
358
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,720
I see. How unfortunate.
359
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,610
I'm sure we'll meet again.
360
00:20:11,610 --> 00:20:14,020
Until then, I hope you stay in good health.
361
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,050
What's wrong? El Nix...
362
00:20:17,050 --> 00:20:19,420
No, I should call you Master Jircniv.
363
00:20:19,420 --> 00:20:22,360
You seem a bit pale? Are you feeling unwell?
364
00:20:23,780 --> 00:20:25,740
No. I'm fine.
365
00:20:25,740 --> 00:20:27,860
I see. The body is a treasure.
366
00:20:27,860 --> 00:20:29,510
You have to take care of it.
367
00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:32,420
Well, I have a match to fight,
so I'll take my leave.
368
00:20:33,010 --> 00:20:34,530
You tricked us.
369
00:20:34,530 --> 00:20:35,790
You're wrong!
370
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,830
How do you explain this, then?
371
00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:39,720
What have you told him?
372
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,170
How much did you tell him
to protect your country?
373
00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:44,160
Please believe me.
374
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,800
I really didn't give him any information!
375
00:20:47,060 --> 00:20:49,560
How truly unfortunate,
Your Imperial Highness.
376
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,560
Wait!
377
00:20:50,780 --> 00:20:56,190
Please tell me the temple's
opinion on the Sorcerer King!
378
00:20:56,730 --> 00:20:59,120
The Sorcerer King is an evil undead.
379
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,410
It's unforgivable to accept
that creature as a king.
380
00:21:02,410 --> 00:21:05,560
That is the reason we are currently
looking for a way to destroy him.
381
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,590
Sell us out if you must,
Your Imperial Highness.
382
00:21:08,590 --> 00:21:10,950
You've already fallen to
the powerful demon's charm.
383
00:21:12,350 --> 00:21:14,650
His wisdom greatly surpasses my own.
384
00:21:14,650 --> 00:21:18,170
I'm sure that he planned for this result.
385
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,920
I would be extremely suspicious of this
whole situation if I were in your shoes as well...
386
00:21:23,250 --> 00:21:26,380
Also, the Sorcerer King has
been a benevolent ruler.
387
00:21:26,380 --> 00:21:28,880
The people of E-Rantel are living in peace.
388
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,060
Who knows how long that will last?
389
00:21:32,370 --> 00:21:33,760
You may be right.
390
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,310
But that is why I want to warn you
against any hasty actions.
391
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:42,240
And lastly, I want you to watch him fight
from somewhere in the colosseum.
392
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,980
Please tell me if you find
any way to defeat him.
393
00:21:46,590 --> 00:21:48,910
May we meet again someday.
394
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,330
Thank you for waiting, everyone!
395
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,840
The strongest warrior in the Empire!
396
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,640
The hero of the colosseum!
397
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,840
Here comes the Warrior King!
398
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,800
I can't win against his cunning.
399
00:22:05,180 --> 00:22:08,550
I can only rely on the possibilities
of the human heart.
400
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,900
Warrior King! Try your best!
