Oceanic Calamity in the Ruins

Oh, Master Guildna! Did you come to check on the village again? You've actually come at a really good time.

Did something happen?

Yeah! I was able to decipher more of that manuscript and learned more about the calamity.

I remember there was still one constellation we didn't know much about.

The last one is Mul Nab-zu, also known as Mer'egel. This is what it looks like.

(I've never seen anything like that before.)

I also asked around the village and had people look through their homes, and we found this.

A black asterorb. According to the texts, this color is related to Mul Nab-zu!

Unfortunately, I still don't know where the star map is because the documents are incomplete.

I recognize this color! I saw it on the star map I got in the Golden City!

Really?!

Yeah, I'm sure of it.

Then we should be able to get the Astrolabos moving.

Aldo. Have you heard anything about Mul Nab-zu or the calamity in the ruins from Meryt?

Not that I recall...

Then ask her to check the royal treasury or archives. It's possible it might have been stored there as some sort of important document.

Royal treasury... Now that you mention it, they've got one under construction at the moment. (Maybe I'll be able to figure something out if I help them finish the treasury.)

And now you can fight this so-called "calamity"?

Yeah. If it's anything like what we've been doing so far, there should be a door open somewhere.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I went to tell her about what was happening and she decided to come along.

And why wouldn't it? This star map was not used in our time... It was something of an antique. Which is why we gave it to Aldo as a reward. I never thought he would actually use it!

Now, let's find that open door!

The path is blocked... Let's clear the way.

We should be able to get inside now. But be careful. We've fought some pretty tough enemies in here, so there might be one on the other side.

Why do you think I came here? I fully expected a fight.

So this is the calamity you spoke of... Hah. Even if this is 20,000 years from my home, it is my duty to protect it! And I shan't hold back!

It comes!

Is it gone now?

No... It comes back every once in a while, so we'll have to fight it again.

But now that we've managed to defeat the three calamities mentioned in the manuscript... I think we can all feel a little more at ease.

Hm? What is that?

Aldo. Would this be of use to you on the road?

Wait. You wanna give that to me?

You are working hard to maintain the peace here, so I think you deserve it. Think of it as a reward.

Is it even yours to give...? In any case, you're free to take, Aldo.

Thanks! I'll make good use of it.

I wonder... How many times must the calamity be struck down before it finally ends?

Huh?

There's no point in thinking about it, I guess.

I'm just glad I was able to protect this land, even so far in the future! If you ever need my help, don't hesitate to call upon me!
