Chapter 8 Wilderness -Desertum-
Ulysses: Finally we're here... the Diadem Desert.
Jasper: Yeah, but look at it... It's so...... Hmm.
Rosalinde: Lady Astraea said there used to be a thriving ancient civilization here.
Rosalinde: But Dark Falz's fire of doom burned it to ashes, and this place became a desert.
Stella: He turned such a vast land into wilderness, what a terrifying power.
Ulysses: Indeed... And, Dark Falz is reviving now.
Ulysses: We have to find the Star Sword Lionel hiding somewhere in this desert.
Jasper: That said... How could we find it in such a vast desert?
Jasper: It may take us years to search for it randomly in the desert.
Rosalinde: Yeah, probably... What should we do?
(Suddenly, the Aries Chivalric Order's very own shop keeper rushes onto the scene.)
Melissa: Ta-dahh! Let me take care of it!
Ulysses: Me... Melissa!?
Stella: Melissa... You're familiar with this desert?
Melissa: Yeah! I'm now in charge of the business reception of the Chivalric Order, but I used to be a merchant.
Melissa: Moreover, in fact... I'm an enthusiast of mysterious treasures!
Melissa: To search for treasures, I've searched the ruins in the Diadem Desert several times.
Stella: I see! We can count it on you.
Rosalinde: You're like an oasis in the desert. Melissa, you're a great help.
Jasper: So, Melissa. What should we do first?
Melissa: Let me see... When exploring the desert, the most important thing is...
Melissa: To survive monster attacks!
(Suddenly a sandworm emerges from below and roars.)
Monster: Crack!
Jasper: Ahhh! Mon... Monsters!
Melissa: Look, those atrocious monsters will attack us suddenly.
Melissa: This is a wasteland, so they'll never let a single precious prey escape.
Jasper: Huh? You mean we're their prey? You must be kidding. I will not be eaten!
Ulysses: Any... Anyway, let's defeat them first! Everyone, fight!
(The monsters are defeated.)
Jasper: Puff... Puff... Finally... Finally, we took them down.
Melissa: You are all really powerful. Good for you, the Guerrilla Squad of the Aries Chivalric Order!
Melissa: In this case, you can survive in the desert.
Jasper: Come on, don't give me that indifferent look...
Ulysses: Anyway, Melissa, could you please tell us about how to explore the desert?
Melissa: Sure, listen up!
Melissa: The most important thing in a desert exploration... simply put... is the information!
Stella: In... Information?
Melissa: Exactly! In addition to the treasure's location, you need the information of the monsters and the dangerous zones... as well as the movements of the local tribes, etc. They are all vital!
Rosalinde: I see, information...
Rosalinde: So, how could we gain these information?
Melissa: And it's even harder for outlanders like us to investigate them...
Melissa: Your best option is to hire a reliable local!
Rosalinde: I see. So we need a guide?
Melissa: Yes, exactly!
Melissa: But it's not easy to find a guide who is trustworthy and can help us gain information.
Ulysses: Namely, to find the Star Sword Lionel, you have to find a qualified guide first.
Melissa: There is a trade route through the desert connecting the west and the east. Lots of merchants traveling on this route.
Melissa: You'd better ask those merchants for information while searching for a guide!
Ulysses: Thank you, Melissa. So let's move along this trade route.
