Dart & Karel
Level C:
KAREL: | ...... |
DART: | What do you want!? Are you trying to start a fight!? |
KAREL: | You smell like...like the sea... Are you a sailor? |
DART: | What's it to you? I am Dart, feared member of Fargus's pirate crews!
Know my name, and fear my blade, mate! |
KAREL: | ...... I just wanted to ask you one thing. |
DART: | Huh? I thought you wanted to fight... |
KAREL: | Tell me... Who is the strongest warrior on Elibe? |
DART: | That's easy! You'll find no one tougher than Fargus's pirates! |
KAREL: | At sea, perhaps. But who is the strongest on land? |
DART: | Hey! I don't much like the tone of your voice! But fine, I'll tell you.
If you can afford it... |
KAREL: | Take what you want... |
DART: | Ha! Woo-hoo! Well, well, I'm starting to like you more already! Now
then, let's see... I've heard rumors in many a port town. You'll have
to confirm them yourself. |
KAREL: | Spit it out. |
DART: | Well, it's like this... Out on the Western Isles, there's a stone giant
that men call Kelles. He's thrice the size of the tallest man, and he
can swallow you whole, from your head to your-- |
KAREL: | He's dead. |
DART: | Huh? Really? |
KAREL: | Yeah. |
DART: | ...Seems like I heard about him only recently. You must get news
quickly. |
KAREL: | ...Next. |
DART: | Wait...I just remembered... There's a mage in Ilia who has the power to
freeze your blood in its veins. He found an ancient ice tome that-- |
KAREL: | Yeah, he's dead, too. About a month ago. |
DART: | I... Well, that's... Are you serious? How could you know that? |
KAREL: | ...Next. |
Level B:
DART: | Hey, it's you again! |
KAREL: | ...... |
DART: | You wanted to know about the strongest warriors in the land, right? |
KAREL: | I did, and still do. But those whom I have met did not strike me as
being very strong at all. |
DART: | Well, I remembered a bunch more. 'Cause you know, I felt like I hadn't
given you your money's worth. |
KAREL: | Out with it. |
DART: | But hold on. I was hoping you could help me out, too. I am looking for
a certain treasure in Elibe. If you know anything, please tell me. |
KAREL: | I'll tell you what I know. |
DART: | All right then, you've got a deal. Have you ever heard of the Princess
of Swords? |
KAREL: | No. |
DART: | Really? Well, she's supposed to be gorgeous. She appears at tournaments
and slices through her foes with ease. Then she just disappears. From
what I've heard, she's looking for a man from her past. |
KAREL: | Hmm... |
DART: | Speaking of women, let me tell you about the Wyvern General. You know
about the three Wyvern Generals in Bern, right? Well, she's a fourth,
and she's mightier than the other three! |
KAREL: | Hmm... Interesting. I will remember her. |
DART: | Now it's my turn! So you've traveled all over Elibe, right? Have you ever
heard of the treasure of the pirate king? |
KAREL: | No. |
DART: | One word!? You call that an answer!? |
Level A:
DART: | Hey there you are! I forgot one! |
KAREL: | What is it? |
DART: | You know, what we were talking about? The tough guys! Well, I forgot
one, but now I've remembered it! |
KAREL: | Spit it out. |
DART: | I hear about this guy wherever I go! He uses a fairy sword and cuts
people in half! He leaves behind only a mountain of bodies and a sea of
blood. He is the "Sword Demon," who live only to kill! And his name
is... Karel! |
KAREL: | ...Sword Demon? |
DART: | Yeah. You only hear the absolute worst things about him... Like how he
single-handedly wiped out an entire army of knights! Yeah, but it's
gotta be a myth... One against a thousand? That sounds like a tall tale
to me, mate... |
KAREL: | ...... |
DART: | How 'bout it? You're pretty good, but there's always someone better,
right? Why don't you try acting all big after you've beaten him? |
KAREL: | I apologize, but I cannot duel myself. |
DART: | Hunh...? You're joking... No way... So you're the... You're THAT Karel?! |
KAREL: | I am only one Karel, but that is my name. |
DART: | Well, pucker my portside! Why didn't you say so? |
KAREL: | You didn't ask. |
DART: | So if you're Karel, then... Hey! Do you really have a thousand swords
from the men you've slain? |
KAREL: | ...What are you talking about? |
DART: | Don't hide it! I heard all about it! That you laugh on the battlefield
as you gather dead mens' swords! |
KAREL: | ...... I guess the rumors have embellished the truth... |
