What a strange place...

I wonder what this building was meant for?

It looks like some type of ceremonial place...

...but I've never heard of demons having any type of faith or beliefs...

Oh, I'm sorry.

We don't have so much information on Ishgria yet, so everything is quite interesting to look at.

Before leaving for Ishgria I visited the Imperial Library and read various military documents on the region, but...

...I didn't really find anything particularly fascinating...

......

Hey, Hans.

Do you know what is happening in Elgaia right now?

He he. Looks like you're not that interested...

...even though the Randall Empire and the Elgaia Federation are quite interested in your exploits.

......

These two countries are planning to conduct a land survey in Ishgria soon...

...in order to oppose the ever-growing power of the Akras Summoners' Hall.

However, it's not like they're joining forces to do this, they each plan to move independently.

It has been well known throughout history that these two countries are incapable of working together.

But don't you think it a bit strange?

Seeing as humanity as a whole is facing the threat of invading demons, you'd think they would cooperate.

To think they would be opposed to that even in times like these, they really are a bunch of fools...

......

I think everything will be fine, but you should still be careful.

The chances of both countries asking you to join their respective sides is quite high.

He he. It must be weird asking you to be careful about such a thing when I was the one who tried to get you to join the Imperial Guard's side so many times.

Hans.

Ark mentioned this before, but you have the power to change the world.

So to make sure that no one takes advantage of your power, never forget your true intentions behind all this.

But I'm sure you'll be fine, right? He he.

Since you're Lady Tilith's favorite Summoner and all.

By the way, I wonder what happened to Ark after all that?

Since not a lot of demons came pouring into Grand Gaia after we broke the seal...

...I'm pretty sure that he defeated a great number of them as soon as he got here, but...

A person as powerful as him would have never been defeated by demons so easily.

So maybe he is still here looking for his significant other?

I know we had our differences with him in the past, but I do hope he is safe and sound.

I mean, he never forgot his beloved even after centuries had passed, and he sacrificed everything for her.

I really hope he can reunite with her without much trouble, from the bottom of my heart...

...Lucius.

Even after having destroyed you, you still mean to stand in my way?

Argh, but...even so, I'll...
