Across 20,000 Years

This turned out to be quite the amazing treasury, if I do say so myself. I heard you were quite critical in its construction too. It seems I had you working quite hard, though I wasn't aware of it!

Haha, don't worry about it. I wanted to help.

When I think about how hard everyone worked to build it, I truly hope it survives well into the future.

Why don't we go to the Astral Ruins and see for ourselves?

Still closed, huh... Let's come back here once everything is settled with the city.

I should have expected this level of decay after 20,000 years...

Still, it's pretty sad to see... Why don't we talk to Grenfaa? He might know a way to help.

Hmm... You want to preserve an old treasury, do you? Well, some ancient reinforcing agent might do the trick. I know how to make it, so let me know when have everything.

Let's make that reinforcing agent, then use it on the treasury.

So if we use this reinforcing agent, then...

I think we covered just about everything.

Great. Then let's head back to the Astral Ruins and see if it worked!

Whoa, it looks incredible!

Hm? I sense something. I wonder if it's the sacred treasures...

I had a look at the treasures and they seem to have grown more powerful over the millennia. I brought them with me because I think you should have them, Aldo. I think they'll come in handy on your journey.

Are you sure?

You've contributed more than enough to the treasury. Consider it a reward.

However...I can't help but wonder what will happen if we replace them in the Golden City's treasury.

Do you think they'll get even more powerful after another 20,000 years?

Hah... If you're interested, why not give it a try?

(Hmm... What should I do?)

So you wish to enshrine the treasures once more? Hah! I look forward to seeing what happens.

Me too. Let's go back to the Astral Ruins and see what happened!

They're gone!

Likely stolen. I suppose there was a thief out there who could sense how strong they'd become.

I'm not about to give up on them, though. Let's see if Grenfaa can help!

You want a way to deter thieves for over 20,000 years? You certainly do ask for the most intriguing things... How about setting a trap?

Not a bad idea. It sounds like you might need to gather some more materials, Aldo.

Alright, that should do the trick. I better go set the other traps.

Alright, that should do the trick. I better go set the other traps.

Alright, that should do the trick. I better go set the other traps.

I think that should deter our thief.

(This treasury gets more impressive by the minute!)

We cannot be sure just yet. Especially in regards to that golem.

Meryt, you don't mean...

Come, Aldo! We must test its strength for ourselves! We will strike once you're ready!

Hah! Now let us see how worthy you are!

Yes, I think it has proven itself strong enough to defend these treasures.

Right. I hope that means they're back in the treasury in the Astral Ruins. Let's go take a look.

The sacred treasures are...

You again. Do you remember us? We command you...

It seems to have forgotten. Let us give it a little reminder, Aldo!

It disappeared...

I feel like it was even stronger than before. (If it somehow gained the ability to regenerate itself, it might show up again.)

In any case, I will check on the treasures.

They are indeed even more powerful than before.

Would it be okay for me to take them back now?

I told you they were your reward. They belong to you, Aldo. Do with them as you please.

However, the sacred treasures you made now have far too much power. We will need to replace the ones currently in the Golden City's treasury.

Oh, right. They're still there...

Let's use replicas this time around.

Hah... My, what a valuable experience this was. I see now how beneficial traveling through time can be. For that, I thank you, Aldo.
