Dialogue

Secret Guards Dialogue

My grandfather used to tell me about how Cron Castle came to ruin,
many many times, but I'd think it a thing of the past and never listened closely.
For they say, time solves all matters.
However, that ghost...no, not only that ghost but
so many vengeful spirits of the past
still cry out from this damp, sunless place...
That also being the reason why it wasn't solved
by praying to the ancestors at the ossuary.
The answer...seems to lie in this very Cron Castle.
If it's the commander of the occupying forces of Cron Castle...
Please infiltrate their encampment and retrieve the records.
I'll be waiting near the entrance of Cron Castle.

Secret Guards Dialogue (Alt)

Please infiltrate their encampment and retrieve the records.
I'll be waiting near the entrance of Cron Castle.

Secret Guards Completion

Ah, this is the book... Thank you.
Let's take a read, yes, whew. I'm so nervous.
The people were led to the castle
by the forbidden alchemy that summoned the sun...
to leave only despair behind,
turning the hope of this land into an offering...
Despair serves as fuel for the Black Sun,
and the Black Sun shall call forth the realm of shadows...?
Ah... I don't know what this next passage means,
but the one who does... Just so happens to be here.
