For a Hero's Relic to be stolen... It's unheard of.

Hubert

And just last month, the Sword of the Creator was almost stolen too.

Edelgard

Hubert (Recruited)

Dimitri (Recruited)

Ahh, well... No, I do not. Not really. All I will say is that we have trained together a few times in the past.

Dimitri (Recruited)

Oof. This wasn't the first time I've taken part in an Alliance roundtable conference, but it was still exhausting.

Claude (Recruited)

There's not enough cooperation in that group, especially from Lorenz's father.

Claude (Recruited)

Miklan? I know that guy. In northern Faerghus, he's pretty well-known...and not in a good way.

Yuri
volume_up

The guy does what he pleases, attacking towns in Margrave Gautier's territory relentlessly. Stealing food and even abducting women.

Yuri
volume_up

I may be the leader of a bunch of thugs, too, but I'm nothing like that slime bag.

Yuri
volume_up

Eh, a bit. I've got folks who follow my lead. But the similarities end there.

Yuri
volume_up

Hm, hate's a strong word. It's more that I think I could lead his bandits in a better way.

Yuri
volume_up

A Hero's Relic can turn a slime bag like Miklan into a knight.

Yuri
volume_up

I know you've got one of those shinies yourself, but don't go doing anything reckless.

Yuri
volume_up

Whoever you are, it doesn't matter much to me. But I do advise getting out of here before you get tangled up in trouble.

Yuri
volume_up

Unless you've been sent here under someone's orders. In which case, I'll happily show you a good time. Heh heh...

Yuri
volume_up

Hmmm. You're that mercenary turned professor, aren't you? The one who showed up at the monastery kinda recently.

Yuri
volume_up

Yeah, you're the one I've heard so much about. Well, I guess it's fine you're here, then.

Yuri
volume_up

You can call me Yuri. You'll want to remember that, if you ever come down here again.

Balthus

Balthus
volume_up

You're a busy one, aren't ya? Always on the road. Being a professor seems like a tough gig.

Balthus
volume_up

Back when I was first enrolled here, we rarely traveled. The Battle of the Eagle and Lion was about it.

Balthus
volume_up

This really stirs up the old memories. When I took part, my house lost. May have been my fault. It's hard to believe, but I was pretty rash back then.

Balthus (Recruited)
volume_up

Hey... Think I can join in again this year? Bet you could pull some strings and make it happen, yeah?

link
Balthus
volume_up

Haven't seen your face before. You're clearly not from around here.

Balthus
volume_up

Ah, you're that new teacher everyone's been yapping about. And yet...you look younger than me. Weird.

Balthus
volume_up

The name's Balthus. Formerly of the Alliance.

Constance

Constance
volume_up

And who might you be? Not an Abyssian, that much is clear at a glance.

Constance
volume_up

A visitor from above, perhaps? With what purpose?

Constance
volume_up

Oh...but of course. You must be the new teacher specially appointed by Lady Rhea. That is it, yes?

Constance
volume_up

Rumors have been flying underground about you. Well, then! I am Constance von Nuvelle.

Constance
volume_up

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Ahaha!

link
Constance
volume_up

The next mission is to rout bandits in the Kingdom, is it not? I find the idea unsettling.

Constance
volume_up

Though the bandits have captured a large prize, they are insigificant in and of themselves.

Constance
volume_up

The matter would be more appropriately dealt with by Margrave Gautier or the Faerghus royal family.

Constance
volume_up

I grant that I am most likely jumping at shadows...

Constance
volume_up

But I fear that if Faerghus is weakened, the tipped scales will lead to widespread unrest.

Hapi

Hapi
volume_up

Nice sword, Chatterbox. I like how it lights up. That's a neat trick.

Hapi
volume_up

But, now that you have it, the church is gonna want to use your power for their own ends. Are you gonna let that happen?

Hapi
volume_up

Oh, come on. You can't be so passive.

Hapi
volume_up

Good. Glad to hear it.

Hapi
volume_up

You gotta think for yourself. You're too good to become one of their stooges.

link
Hapi
volume_up

Who are you? Wait, shut up, let me guess.

Hapi
volume_up

You're...that new professor, right? You just started teaching up on the surface.

Hapi
volume_up

Even here, people have been talking about you. Not that the gossip got everything right.

Hapi
volume_up

I heard you were beautiful, but obviously that was an exaggeration.

Anna

Anna
volume_up

Hey, Professor. How's it going? Making lots of coin?

Anna
volume_up

I'd love to catch up, but I'm super busy right now. Working. For money. You understand.

link
Anna
volume_up

I've been hearing about you a lot lately. Word on the street is you wield some amazing sword.

Anna
volume_up

If you ever want to sell it to me, I'd pay top G! Just kidding. Sorta. It's, uh, not for sale, is it?

link
Anna
volume_up

Hey, Professor. How's it going? Making lots of coin?

Anna
volume_up

I'd love to catch up, but I'm super busy right now. Working. For money. You understand.

link
Anna
volume_up

There's unrest everywhere these days. All of my fellow merchants seem to be endangered.

Anna
volume_up

I hope things go back to normal soon. People need more to smile about, aside from my great deals.

link
Anna
volume_up

Abyss? You're interested in that place, are you?

Anna
volume_up

Ancient sprawling remains deep below Garreg Mach... That's Abyss.

Anna
volume_up

Some folks have made their home there. Obviously they all have their reasons and tales to tell.

Anna
volume_up

But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.

Abysskeeper

Abysskeeper
volume_up

Hey, you. You're from up top, right? What business do you have here?

Abysskeeper
volume_up

Wait a minute... Ah, got it. You're that new professor, aren't you? I suppose that means I have to let you pass.

Abysskeeper
volume_up

I guess...welcome to Abyss! This town is full of rough-and-toughs, so watch your back down here.

Abysskeeper & Knight of Seiros

link
Abysskeeper
volume_up

Hey, you. Listen up. I've got something to report.

Abysskeeper
volume_up

Actually, if I recall correctly—which is my job and passion—there were reportable happenings up top as well. That's why I'm still stuck with Mr. Backup.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

I'm still here by request of Lord Seteth. You can never be too vigilant.

Abysskeeper
volume_up

Truth be told, I'm used to the guy by now. Not Yuri, though. He shoots him a pointed glare every time he walks by. Heh. How Yuri is that?

Resident

Resident
volume_up

Aelfric used to use his position in the church to look out for Abyss.

Resident
volume_up

He basically set this whole place up for us.

Resident
volume_up

Then some scandal or other forced him out. Got to wonder what got the church so riled up...

Rogue

Rogue
volume_up

The best fighter in Abyss? Balthus, probably.

Rogue
volume_up

Yuri's definitely the most cunning. Constance is the strongest with magic.

Rogue
volume_up

The most dangerous of them all though? Hapi. You've heard the rumors, haven't you?

Monk

Monk
volume_up

Ah, I see. So you are Jeralt's child. You so resemble your mother.

Monk
volume_up

I did indeed. I was acquainted with your parents. I've been wanting to speak with you for a while now.

Monk
volume_up

I am nothing more than a common monk. I knew your parents...once upon a time.

Monk
volume_up

I've been gone from the monastery for some time now because... Well, it matters not.

Monk
volume_up

Might I...ask a favor of you?

Monk
volume_up

Do you mind terribly picking up some fresh flowers to place upon your mother's grave?

Monk
volume_up

I am certain she'd be deeply moved to receive a gift from you.

link
Monk
volume_up

Thank you so much. This is just the type of flower she once loved so dearly.

Monk
volume_up

I can rest easy now.

Monk
volume_up

I must be off. Take especially good care of yourself, won't you?

Monk
volume_up

Please, look after Jeralt. She'd have wanted that.
