2
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:17,250
Lure it to the village. That's
how we get the boss.
3
00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:20,710
W-Wait. You can't be serious.
4
00:00:20,710 --> 00:00:22,620
If we do, the Boss'll go after the villag-
5
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:24,130
That's the idea.
6
00:00:24,130 --> 00:00:26,680
And while the boss is killing NPCs,
7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,010
we can attack it, and kill it.
8
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:32,810
But they're not just objects. NPCs
are different than rocks and trees.
9
00:00:33,070 --> 00:00:34,100
Look, they're...
10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,060
Do you think they're alive? Really?
11
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:39,920
In this game, they are just objects.
12
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:43,860
And unlike us, if they are killed,
they can always respawn.
13
00:00:44,410 --> 00:00:47,030
Sorry, but I'm not cool with that plan.
14
00:00:48,430 --> 00:00:51,990
I'm running this operation, okay?
In case you forgot,
15
00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:54,870
I'm still second-in-command of
the Knights of the Blood Oath.
16
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:57,920
You'll obey my orders, like it or not.
17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,800
Hey.
18
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:09,600
What's with you guys?
19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,640
Huh?
20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,100
You and the second-in-command... You're
always getting into it, and not in a good way.
21
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:17,060
I guess we just don't click, Agil.
22
00:01:18,190 --> 00:01:20,650
You can become powerful here on your own.
23
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,360
But if the day comes when someone
you trust invites you to join a guild,
24
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:25,950
don't turn it down.
25
00:01:25,950 --> 00:01:27,660
Well, she took my advice,
26
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:31,950
but who knew she'd join the top
guild, and be a floor-clearing badass?
27

I'll give you everything I have...

April 11, 2024 Floor 59: Danac
45
00:03:19,390 --> 00:03:20,680
What are you doing?
46
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:28,800
Oh, hey. What's up?
47
00:03:28,890 --> 00:03:32,740
Everyone in the Assault Team's working
their butts off to clear to the dungeon.
48
00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:35,740
And where do I find you? Out here, taking a nap.
49
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,590
Even if you're a solo player, you should take this -
50
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:41,540
Bet you didn't know this
is Aincrad's nicest season.
51
00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:43,790
Today's weather is at its optimal setting.
52
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:48,210
It'd be a waste to have to
go to work on a day like this.
53
00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:50,400
Whatever... I can't believe you.
54
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:55,640
Do you even understand what's going on? Every
day here is another one lost in the real world.
55
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,390
Yeah, but right now, we're not in the real
world, are we? We're alive in Aincrad.
56
00:04:04,230 --> 00:04:05,350
See?
57
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:08,430
Doesn't that breeze feel good? And the sun?
58
00:04:08,670 --> 00:04:09,980
Oh come on.
59
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,400
Th
60
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:17,160
If you lay down on the grass
for a little bit, you'd understand.
61
00:04:57,950 --> 00:04:59,880
Oh damn, would you look at that?
62
00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:01,950
Taking a nap in the middle of the day?
63
00:05:01,980 --> 00:05:03,620
Some people sure got it easy.
64
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:05,870
Couple of lazy losers, man.
65
00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:09,920
I can't believe she fell asleep.
66
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:41,620
W... What...
67
00:05:41,620 --> 00:05:42,700
Good morning.
68
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:44,030
You slept like a rock.
69
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,680
You get one meal...
70
00:05:57,470 --> 00:05:58,430
One meal!
71
00:05:58,930 --> 00:06:01,140
All you can eat, my treat.
72
00:06:01,140 --> 00:06:02,970
Then we'll be even! Deal?
73
00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:08,440
Floor 57: Martin
74
00:06:15,190 --> 00:06:17,610
That's Asuna from the Knights of the Blood Oath.
75
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,990
Yeah, they call her the Lightning Flash...
76
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:22,040
Who's the shady looking guy dressed in black?
77
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,240
Well, anyway...
78
00:06:25,910 --> 00:06:28,040
Thank you... for today.
79
00:06:29,330 --> 00:06:30,870
For keeping an eye on me.
80
00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:32,330
Ah, sure...
81
00:06:32,630 --> 00:06:35,420
The towns are supposed
to be safe zones,
82
00:06:35,420 --> 00:06:39,840
and unless you've agreed to a duel,
a player can't attack or kill you.
83
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,590
But when you're asleep, you're vulnerable.
84
00:06:42,590 --> 00:06:43,640
Yeah.
85
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Now we've got player killers
who can cheat the duel system.
86
00:06:47,070 --> 00:06:50,810
Duels are normally supposed to be tests
of strength, not fights to the death.
87
00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:53,440
But even if you duel in a safe zone,
88
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,480
your HP is still gonna go down
based on the damage you take.
89
00:06:57,790 --> 00:07:00,320
All a sleep PKer has to do is manipulate
90
00:07:00,350 --> 00:07:04,530
a sleeping player's finger to click the
okay button. The duel begins like normal,
91
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,490
but the sleep PKer's doing all the attacking.
92
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,250
God knows how many times it's happened.
93
00:07:11,330 --> 00:07:13,040
So, anyway...
94
00:07:13,630 --> 00:07:14,750
Thank you.
95
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,880
Uh, sure... anytime.
96
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,210
Well, you'd do the same for me.
97
00:07:39,490 --> 00:07:40,610
Hurry! Pull it out!
98
00:07:48,910 --> 00:07:50,700
I'll cut him down, you catch him.
99
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:51,620
Got it.
100
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,370
Help's on the way!
101
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,840
Damn it...
102
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:14,920
The only way he could've died in a safe zone...
103
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,960
is if he was beaten in a duel.
104
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:19,070
That means...
105
00:08:19,210 --> 00:08:19,980
Everyone!
106
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,250
Look for the player with the "winner" icon!
107
00:08:24,090 --> 00:08:26,040
There's no one here, the room's empty!
108
00:08:40,110 --> 00:08:42,270
So, any idea how this could happen?
109
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Well, there's always the obvious...
110
00:08:45,090 --> 00:08:48,550
there was a duel and the other guy
impaled the victim with that spear,
111
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:51,820
then he put a noose around his neck
and pushed him out the window.
112
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,930
Wouldn't you say that's about right?
113
00:08:53,930 --> 00:08:56,940
Yeah, but... I couldn't see
the "winner" icon on anyone.
114
00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:58,560
It had to be a duel.
115
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:02,530
It's a safe zone and a player died.
A duel is the only thing it could've been.
116
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,580
Or, maybe not... Either way,
we can't ignore this.
117
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,040
I know.
118
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,510
As it is, a player takes huge risks
going outside the safe zone.
119
00:09:16,570 --> 00:09:22,000
But if someone's found a way to PK inside,
no one's going to be safe in the towns either.
120
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,300
Yeah, you're right.
121
00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:26,920
I guess we won't be going back
to the front lines anytime soon.
122
00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:33,760
Listen, you're going to work
with me until we solve this thing.
123
00:09:33,950 --> 00:09:37,100
Until we do, there won't be
any time for napping, okay?
124
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,770
Okay. But you're the one who was napping.
125
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:42,120
Ow!
126
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:54,090
Listen up!
127
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Did anyone see what happened
before that player died?
128
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,920
If someone did, please speak up!
129
00:10:02,380 --> 00:10:03,880
By the time I got here...
130
00:10:05,550 --> 00:10:08,680
Sorry, I can imagine how frightened you are.
131
00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:10,760
Could you tell us your name?
132
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,770
Sure... My name's Yolko.
133
00:10:14,770 --> 00:10:17,790
Was that you? I mean, were
you the one who screamed?
134
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,310
Uh-huh.
135
00:10:19,710 --> 00:10:22,080
I-I knew him. His name was Kains,
136
00:10:22,110 --> 00:10:24,610
and the two of us used to
belong to the same guild.
137
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:27,780
Anyway, we came here together today.
138
00:10:28,030 --> 00:10:30,660
We were going to have dinner somewhere in town.
139
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:33,620
But we got separated in the plaza.
140
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:35,660
I looked around for him,
141
00:10:35,660 --> 00:10:38,750
then I saw him hanging from that balcony and...
142
00:10:41,710 --> 00:10:43,670
Was there...anyone else up there?
143
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,570
For a second...
144
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:50,880
I'm not sure... But I think I did see
someone standing behind Kains.
145
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,970
And this person, had you seen him before?
146
00:10:56,350 --> 00:10:57,640
Uh-uh...
147
00:10:58,430 --> 00:11:01,310
Um, I know this is hard for you but...
148
00:11:01,310 --> 00:11:02,920
think back and try to remember.
149
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,190
Could there be someone, anyone,
with the reason to kill him?
150
00:11:19,370 --> 00:11:22,830
Thank you for walking me back.
Sorry if it's out of your way.
151
00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:23,960
No worries.
152
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,550
But we'd like to talk to you again
tomorrow, if you're feeling up to it.
153
00:11:27,550 --> 00:11:28,420
Okay...
154
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,510
So, what do we do?
155
00:11:35,970 --> 00:11:38,990
Simple. We follow the only solid clue we have.
156
00:11:39,630 --> 00:11:41,770
If we find out where that spear came from,
157
00:11:42,140 --> 00:11:44,270
it might lead us straight to the killer.
158
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:47,230
We'll need find someone with an appraisal skill.
159
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,190
I mean... it's pretty obvious you don't have one.
160
00:11:50,190 --> 00:11:51,240
No I don't.
161
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,250
And neither do you.
162
00:11:52,740 --> 00:11:53,990
Oh, and by the way...
163
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:56,370
try not to be so rude when
you're speaking to me.
164
00:11:56,370 --> 00:11:57,900
Oh, okay.
165
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,450
Should I call you "Ms."
166
00:11:59,790 --> 00:12:01,410
next time?
167
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,330
"Second-in-command"?
168
00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:05,710
"Lightning Flash"?
169
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:10,440
Oh, never mind. Call me Asuna.
170
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:12,880
Okay, sure.
171
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,850
Back to the appraisal skill though.
Do you know anyone who has it?
172
00:12:17,850 --> 00:12:20,560
I've got a friend who does.
She's a weapon's merchant.
173
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:22,460
But she's really busy these days,
174
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,730
so I don't think she'll have time to help us.
175
00:12:24,830 --> 00:12:25,690
No worries.
176
00:12:26,020 --> 00:12:29,320
I happen to know an item merchant
who might be able to help us out.
177
00:12:29,570 --> 00:12:32,820
Floor 50: Algade
178
00:12:36,410 --> 00:12:38,830
Thanks, my man! Come back anytime!
179
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,580
Looks like you're still running all the suckers
down with those hard deals of yours.
180
00:12:45,170 --> 00:12:46,920
No way. Kirito?
181
00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:51,920
Buy cheap and sell cheap. That's my motto.
I'm a businessman, you know that.
182
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,090
That "selling cheap" part's a lie though.
183
00:12:54,090 --> 00:12:56,340
Don't go slandering my good name, brother.
184
00:12:59,510 --> 00:13:01,100
What the hell's gotten into you?!
185
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,980
You're supposed to be a solo player, man!
What are you doing hanging around with Asuna?!
186
00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:07,650
I thought you guys hate each other's guts, straight up!
187
00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:09,360
What's the deal?!
188
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:12,360
His HP dropped to zero in a safe zone?
189
00:13:12,650 --> 00:13:14,150
You sure it wasn't a duel?
190
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:16,860
Well, no one saw a winner icon.
191
00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:19,480
We can also rule out the murder being a sleep PK.
192
00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:22,200
He was walking with Yolko before it happened.
193
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,470
And besides, his death was too
elaborate to be some random duel.
194
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:29,750
The PKer who did this had it planned
out. We're pretty sure of that.
195
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:31,710
And then, there's this.
196
00:13:40,970 --> 00:13:42,600
A player made this.
197
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,310
Really?
198
00:13:43,310 --> 00:13:45,390
Who was it? Can you tell?
199
00:13:45,390 --> 00:13:47,100
Grimlock.
200
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:48,650
Never heard of that name before...
201
00:13:48,890 --> 00:13:51,570
It's not worth the top blacksmith.
That's for damn sure.
202
00:13:51,570 --> 00:13:54,280
As far as I can tell, there's
nothing special about this.
203
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,720
Yeah but, it's something to go on, right?
204
00:13:57,740 --> 00:14:00,030
Is there like an item name listed?
205
00:14:00,030 --> 00:14:01,160
You'll love it.
206
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,750
Guilty Thorn. There's a name for you.
It kind of fits though, don't you think?
207
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,290
Seriously? Guilty Thorn?
208
00:14:20,090 --> 00:14:21,300
Here goes...
209
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:24,780
Wait, stop!
210
00:14:28,390 --> 00:14:29,390
What's the matter?
211
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:31,040
What do you mean "what's the matter?"
212
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:32,640
Are you out of your mind?
213
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:34,860
That thing's already killed one person.
214
00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:38,530
I know. But we need to find out what
this thing's capable of, don't we?
215
00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:40,360
Would you stop being so reckless?
216
00:14:40,730 --> 00:14:44,190
Agil, would you please hold on to this for us?
217
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:45,700
Uh, yeah...
218
00:14:48,250 --> 00:14:50,750
The Next Day
219
00:14:57,310 --> 00:14:58,960
So uh...Yolko...
220
00:14:59,260 --> 00:15:02,930
we uh... we were wondering if you've
ever heard the name "Grimlock"?
221
00:15:05,010 --> 00:15:06,060
Yes.
222
00:15:06,060 --> 00:15:10,810
I have. Actually, until a few month ago,
he was in a guild with me and Kains.
223
00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:16,020
Listen, we took this spear that
impaled Kains to an appraiser.
224
00:15:16,020 --> 00:15:19,950
We had him go over it pretty carefully,
and we found out Grimlock made it.
225
00:15:22,070 --> 00:15:24,870
Can you... think of
any reason why he did?
226
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,040
Yes, I can...
227
00:15:30,210 --> 00:15:34,080
I should have told you everything yesterday. It's just...
228
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,540
I couldn't.
229
00:15:35,540 --> 00:15:38,460
It's something I've been
trying very hard to forget.
230
00:15:39,630 --> 00:15:42,010
But now, I have no choice.
231
00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:47,390
I should tell you about how
my guild... was destroyed.
232
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:54,770
When we formed it, "Golden Apple"
was the name we chose.
233
00:15:56,060 --> 00:15:57,110
Six months ago,
234
00:15:57,550 --> 00:15:59,180
we killed a rare monster.
235
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,910
It dropped a powerful ring that
raised a player's agility by twenty.
236
00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:07,240
Some of us wanted to keep it for the guild,
237
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,290
others wanted to sell it and split the earnings.
238
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,710
We couldn't agree and in the
end, we put it to a vote.
239
00:16:15,460 --> 00:16:18,440
It was five-to-three in favor of selling it.
240
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,970
Our leader, Griselda, took it to
a large town on the front lines.
241
00:16:23,970 --> 00:16:27,720
She was going to sell it to a broker
and was staying overnight.
242
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,730
We waited and waited, but she never came back.
243
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:41,400
It wasn't until later, we learned our worst
fears have come true - Griselda was dead.
244
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:45,410
To this day, I still don't
know how she died.
245
00:16:46,110 --> 00:16:50,540
No one's gonna leave a safe zone
with a rare item like that. Too risky.
246
00:16:50,540 --> 00:16:53,370
You think someone could've
pulled a sleep PK on her?
247
00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:57,080
Not if it was six months ago,
that method's still sort of new.
248
00:16:57,380 --> 00:17:00,380
You're right. But she wasn't
a random victim, either.
249
00:17:00,710 --> 00:17:05,130
No, the killer was after the ring. It has
to be someone who knew she had it.
250
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:06,470
Which means...
251
00:17:06,930 --> 00:17:11,060
The killer's one of the seven
others in our guild. Yes.
252
00:17:12,180 --> 00:17:16,350
We have our suspects. Now we just have
to figure out who didn't wanna sell the ring.
253
00:17:16,730 --> 00:17:19,730
I doubt the killer waited till
after Griselda sold the ring.
254
00:17:19,730 --> 00:17:22,570
She was killed before she
sold it. That's my guess.
255
00:17:22,570 --> 00:17:24,030
Probably.
256
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,400
Tell us what you know about Grimlock.
257
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,740
Well, I guess for starters,
he was Griselda's husband.
258
00:17:29,740 --> 00:17:32,950
Oh, but not in real life,
just in the game.
259
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:36,250
Griselda was a powerful swordswoman.
260
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,250
She was beautiful... and smart.
261
00:17:40,130 --> 00:17:44,170
Grimlock was kind and I can't remember
a day when he wasn't smiling.
262
00:17:44,670 --> 00:17:48,430
They made a great couple and
got along as husband and wife.
263
00:17:49,260 --> 00:17:53,520
If Grimlock is really the one who
murdered Kains yesterday, then...
264
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,560
he's probably going after the three guild
members who voted against selling the ring.
265
00:17:59,850 --> 00:18:04,940
Kains was one of the three who wanted to
keep the ring for the guild. I was the other one.
266
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:07,200
Then who's the third person?
267
00:18:07,610 --> 00:18:09,780
The other's a tank named Schmitt.
268
00:18:09,780 --> 00:18:14,580
And he, the last I heard, is on the front
lines now with the Holy Dragon Alliance.
269
00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:15,830
Schmitt, huh?
270
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,620
I've heard that name before...
271
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,670
He's the leader of the defense
unit of the Holy Dragon Alliance.
272
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,590
He's an exceptional lancer.
273
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,710
Oh yeah. Him.
274
00:18:25,710 --> 00:18:27,560
Wait. Do you really know Schmitt?
275
00:18:27,660 --> 00:18:31,180
Well, I've run into him a couple
times while clearing bosses, so...
276
00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:34,350
I need to see him right away.
Could you please take me to him?
277
00:18:34,350 --> 00:18:37,730
If he's on the front lines, he probably
hasn't heard about the murder.
278
00:18:37,790 --> 00:18:42,020
He needs to know. Before what
happened to Kains happens to him...
279
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,690
We'll help you get in touch with Schmitt.
280
00:18:46,690 --> 00:18:49,110
I know someone at the
Holy Dragon Alliance.
281
00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:51,780
He'll help us out. We'll visit their HQ.
282
00:18:51,780 --> 00:18:55,040
Okay. But first, we should make
sure she gets back to the inn.
283
00:18:55,450 --> 00:19:00,460
Yolko, you have to stay there, okay?
Seriously, don't go anywhere until we get back.
284
00:19:00,860 --> 00:19:01,920
All right.
285
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,180
Okay, so... how do you think a murder
like this happened in a safe zone?
286
00:19:12,180 --> 00:19:14,390
I see three ways it could...
287
00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:17,470
Right off the bat, it's possible was a fair duel.
288
00:19:17,810 --> 00:19:22,900
Or maybe, someone took advantage of a bug
that combines a bunch of different kill methods.
289
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:24,900
Yeah, I can see that happening.
290
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:26,110
And the third?
291
00:19:26,780 --> 00:19:29,740
Use something to bypass the protection of a safe zone.
292
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:32,240
Some kind of skill or maybe an item.
293
00:19:32,430 --> 00:19:35,980
No... on second thought,
that third idea is impossible.
294
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,120
What do you mean?
295
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:38,410
Because it's unfair.
296
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:41,020
I kind of hate to admit it, but it's true.
297
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,340
The rules of SAO are essentially
fair for every player in the game.
298
00:19:45,340 --> 00:19:49,760
So, there is no way the game would
allow murders in safe zones.
299
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,350
I see.
300
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,150
So, that's what killed Kains. And you're sure
about the spear. Was it really Grimlock's?
301
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:07,070
There's no doubt.
302
00:20:07,820 --> 00:20:10,360
But then, why would he
wait six months to kill him?!
303
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:11,860
Unless...
304
00:20:11,860 --> 00:20:13,660
wait, could he have stolen the ring?!
305
00:20:13,790 --> 00:20:16,660
Do think it's possible he
killed Griselda after all?!
306
00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:19,710
Does Grimlock want to kill the three of us
307
00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:21,980
because we didn't want to sell the damn ring?
308
00:20:22,030 --> 00:20:24,250
Is that why he's after you and me now?!
309
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:30,090
Maybe Grimlock made the spear for someone else
from our guild. Maybe they're the ones who killed Kains.
310
00:20:30,090 --> 00:20:34,590
Or maybe... Griselda's come back
from the dead to get her revenge.
311
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,300
A player can't kill another player inside a safe zone.
312
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,060
But something else like a ghost could.
313
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:48,270
I couldn't sleep at all last
night, so I stayed up thinking...
314
00:20:49,230 --> 00:20:54,270
It was everyone's fault. Everyone in the
guild is guilty! Her blood is on all our hands!
315
00:20:54,380 --> 00:20:57,930
Her fate was sealed when that ring
dropped! We shouldn't have voted!
316
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,160
We should've done whatever
Griselda told us to do!
317
00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:12,170
Grimlock was the only one, the only member of the guild,
who said we should leave the decision to Griselda.
318
00:21:12,670 --> 00:21:16,520
You see, he's the only one of
us who can avenge Griselda.
319
00:21:17,050 --> 00:21:20,310
He's the only member of our guild
who has the right to avenge her.
320
00:21:21,470 --> 00:21:23,060
You've gotta be kidding.
321
00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:24,390
You've gotta be kidding!
322
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,160
Why now... after all this time?!
323
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,780
Why kill us now?!
324
00:21:29,550 --> 00:21:31,790
Y-You can't be okay with this, Yolko?!
325
00:21:31,870 --> 00:21:35,150
How can you accept being killed
over some stupid vendetta?!
326
00:21:56,130 --> 00:21:57,010
Yolko!
