As you may recall, this is the town Cecil and the Red Wings attacked in the opening. Unsurprisingly, they aren't too happy about it, and many of the town's mages will hit Cecil with various status effects if spoken to. Most can be reversed just by talking to the same person again, though. The town's armor shop has some interesting items, but as a less-than-polite Black Mage comments, |
||
| ここにうっている しなは きさまのような あんこくきしには さわることも おそれおおいものだ。 |
The goods we sell here are too exalted for a loathsome Dark Knight like you to even touch. |
Things here are too sacred for you to even touch! |
And sure enough, Cecil can't equip anything sold in the village. Anyway, head to the large central building and meet the elder to advance the plot. |

Elder: You're the one who.... What do you want this time? 『I am {Cecil}, formerly in command of the airship corps. I lacked the courage then to defy the king's orders.... Elder: Even if we have you apologize, it will not return the dead to life. 『... Elder: However... I have caught sight of a shard of radiance from you now that differs from your appearance. I see merit in hearing you out. 『I am now fighting one known as {Golbeza}, who is controlling Baron. But my companion was captured, and on the way to save her, we were attacked by Leviathan, and my other companions.... Elder: ...that, too, must be an ordeal set before you. However, by relying on the Dark Sword, not only can you not defeat true evil, but there is no telling when you yourself may be tainted with an evil heart. If you wish to fight with a right heart, go to Ordeal Mountain to the east. A powerful destiny ought to await you there. 『But I must hurry and save my companion! Elder: Someone precious to you, yes? However, you must not be impatient! It seems that you bear a great destiny.... First try climbing Ordeal Mountain. You must exchange that wicked sword for a holy sword. One who can accept the holy light supposedly becomes a holy knight... a Paladin.... But though a great many have gone to Ordeal Mountain with great resolve, not one has ever returned. ...so, will you try going? 『...yes! Elder: However, it will be most difficult on your own with the Dark Sword. I shall send some Mages with you. {Palom}! {Porom}! |
Elder: What do you want from us this time? {Cecil}: I am {Cecil}, the ex-captain of the Red Wings. I could not disobey the King. Elder: Apologies will not bring our friends back alive. But I can at least listen to your words. {Cecil}: I'm fighting the one called {Golbez} who is the mastermind of Baron. A girl was captured. So we were on our way to Baron for her rescue but we were attacked by Leviatan... and... Elder: Lost your friends. It would be your trial. But as long as you depend upon the Dark Sword, you cannot defeat true evil. Moreover, you might be consumed with its evil at any time. If you wish to fight against evil with good, go to Mt. Ordeals to the east of Mysidia. {Cecil}: But I must hurry! Elder: I do understand. But do not hurry. At first you must climb Mt. Ordeals and renounce this evil sword and gain the sword of sacredness. The one who can accept the holy light is called a Paladin. It is the sacred knight. Many went to Mt. Ordeals to be a Paladin, but none returned. Will you try? {Cecil}: Yes! Elder: But it would be hard for you alone with your Dark Sword. Take wizards with you. {Palom}! {Porom}! |
A young girl with orange clothing and a green cape walks in. |
||
| おんなのこ「なにか？ ちょうろう「{パロム}は どうした？ おんなのこ「{パロム}ったら また！ |
Girl: Yes? Elder: Where is {Palom}? Girl: That {Palom}, not again! |
Girl: You called for us? Elder: Where is {Palom}? Girl: {Palom}! Come on! |
A young boy with green clothing and an orange cape appears in a puff of smoke. He strongly resembles the girl, in appearance if not in demeanor. |
||
| おとこのこ「おめーが あのときの バロンの やつか。 じーさんの めいれいだから しかたなく てをかしてやるんだから ありがたくおもえよ！ |
Boy: So you're that guy from Baron from back then. I haven't got a choice about helping you out since it's the old man's orders, so be grateful! |
Boy: So you are that Baronian guy, aren't you? I'm gonna help you. So thank me! |
Cecil looks at the two, rether skeptically. |
||
| 『このふたりが？ ちょうろう「さよう。 ふたごの まどうし {パロム}と {ポロム}じゃ。 しゅぎょうちゅうの みじゃが たすけに なるじゃろう。 まだ おさないが そのししつは ワシが ほしょうする。 {パロム}「このミシディアの てんさいじ {パロム}さまが おともしてやるんだから ありがたく おもうんだな！ ちょうろう「{パロム}！ おぬしらの しゅぎょうも かねておるんじゃ！ |
『These two? Elder: Indeed. The twin mages {Palom} and {Porom}. They remain in training, but should be of assistance to you. Though they are still young, I assure you of their talents. {Palom}: I, the great {Palom}, child prodigy of Mysidia, deign to accompany you, so you'd better be grateful! Elder: {Palom}! This is also training for you both! |
{Cecil}: These two!? Elder: {Palom} and {Porom}. They may be of help. Do not be deceived by their appearances. {Palom}: Be thankful that Mysidian genius {Palom} will accompany you! Elder: {Palom}! It's for your own good! |
Porom steps forward and bows politely. |
||
| {ポロム}「{セシル}さんと おっしゃいましたね。 よろしくおねがいしますわ。 |
{Porom}: Your name is {Cecil}-san, yes? It's a pleasure to meet you. |
{Porom}: Well. How do you do, sir. |
| {ポロム}「ほら {パロム}も！ | {Porom}: Come on, {Palom}, you too! | {Porom}: {Palom}! You must greet him! |
Porom drags Palom in front of Cecil. |
||
| {パロム}「よろしくな あんちゃん！ | {Palom}: Hiya, bud! | {Palom}: Hi, man! |
| くろまどうし {パロム} しろまどうし {ポロム}が なかまになった！ |
Black Mage {Palom} and White Mage {Porom} became companions! |
{Palom} the Black Wizard and {Porom} the White Wizard joined! |
| ちょうろう「たびだつのじゃ しれんのやまへ！ {パロム} {ポロム}！ たのんだぞ！ |
Elder: Set out for Ordeal Mountain! {Palom}, {Porom}! I'm counting on you! |
Elder: Now to Mt. Ordeals! {Palom} and {Porom}! Do everything in your power to help {Cecil}! |
As usual, stick the mages in the back row, and position Palom closer to the lead slot (as shown on save files) than Porom to make the most of their cooperative magic. The twins could also use some better equipment, so head to the armor shop and get a Triangle Hat, Earth Garb, and Silver Bracelet for each of them. Also get a third Triangle Hat and Silver Bracelet, since another character joining shortly will need them. In the weapon shop, buy a Flame Rod for Palom and a Healing Staff for Porom, or you could go with a Crossbow and Holy Arrows for either or both of them. If you can afford it after all that, I'd also suggest buying a Knight's Armor and Gauntlet from the armor shop for later, your choice of a Helmet of Light (more physical defense) or yet another Triangle Hat (more everything else, and far cheaper to boot), and especially a Shield of Light. It's probably best to gain a few levels before moving on, too. |
