In Elmen's defense line, Baron and his party met the Container businessman and his comrades.
One of them suffered from Kazan's curse.
They employed deceptive means in their business so to heal their comrade.
Baron and his party fought the monsters to help the businessmen,
and they obtained the important materials to remake the containers.
The Container businessmen decided to do honest business from now on, and Baron and his party headed for a new town.
Where... is this place?
Who knows. It's a forest in a mountain.
I...
Can't walk anymore!
Me too...
Geez, just where are we?
What're you saying? Didn't you lead the wrong way?
Weli-weli.
You're saying it's my faulttttt... Ahhhh, I missed a step.
Baron!
Uh? What, what?
Baron! We're heading over now!
I thought I was gonna die.
Uh? What's this?
What a clean break.
Really, where did he fall off to?
Why do I, the handsome genius gunman, have to do this?
Shut up and keep moving.
Yeah, yeah.
How do you feel?
Oh! It doesn't hurt. It's healed!
You're amazing, old man!
That's great.
Then, next.
Amazing!
Just in case of other injuries, let me check you out.
How is my treatment?
En... En... Enough...
Enough! I don't hurt feel anywhere else!
Really? That's good then.
Is that a cover? Are you...
Yeah. Well...
I see.
We finally found you.
What a relief.
Baron.
You guys came faster than expected.
Well, well. Are they your comrades?
Who is this person?
I don't know.
I'm a priest. Jeda Lucsupa.
I'm on a journey, training to treat people with illnesses.
Why is a priest down here?
Um, I came across some trouble.
I'm on my way to the town ahead of here.
A town?
There's a town?!
What's it?
Please take us to the town!
What a gloomy place.
Is that old man trustworthy?
What's wrong Baron? You don't look well from before.
It's nothing...
Is there no one here?
How can they not come and receive me?
Speaking aside, I really can't sense anyone around.
Jeda-san?
Old man, what's it?
Please excuse me for a moment. I've something to investigate.
What's going on?
I think.... No, nothing.
Please don't wander around if possible. Find somewhere and stay low.
What do we do?
Saying "stay low" makes it more noticeable.
Besides, that old man's suspicious.
I guess...
Let's investigate a bit too.
What a creepy town.
That sense... has vanished?
What an unpleasant town.
What? Just the wind?
No one is around, and it's getting dark.
I wish I had stuck around with someone.
Strange. I did feel someone back then...
Ixia, did you find something?
Don't scare me like that!
It's not just human. Not even a pig is in sight.
Hey! Damn you. What're you doing over there!?
Eh? He was there a moment ago...
Was I seeing things?
Not again!
Ryunmei too?
Yes. This isn't just an abandoned town.
Something must be here.
What do we do? Do we leave?
It's dangerous to travel at night. Let's wait here till dawn, okay?
Smells....
So you're all here?
I say this town is strange. It smells suspicious.
The smelly one is you!
Go and wash up at the well.
It's cold.
Speaking of which, what's happened to that old man?
Who is it?
Is that... old man?
Baron, what's wrong?
It's Jeda. He was watching this house.
The old man? Why?
How should I know? Anyway, I'm going after him.
Damn it. Where did that old man go?
He has to be hiding something.
Of course. He's targeted you.
What?
What's going on? Why me?
Really. You should understand that yourself.
Jeda peeked at you when you were showering.
That means...
Could he be... Is that old man really...
You're so cute, Baron-dono.
Open your heart. Open your heart.
I didn't say it. I didn't say it to that level.
Hey, Baron. Come back. You're okay... you're okay... you're okay!
It's noisy outside.
Isn't that Baron? What's he doing here?
Oh no.
In that case, we must leave now!
My, is that really ok?
Baron-dono. It's dangerous here. Hurry and go inside the house.
Don't come near. You... You peeper!
What're you saying?
Stop pretending. I'm talking what happened just then.
Just then? What happened?
Baron-dono.
What!? Even if you scare me, I...
Look. These guys look like the one at the well...
Uh? Could they be the ones just then?
Be careful, Baron-dono.
What are these guys?
Gross.
Everyone.
Are they finally out and moving?
Don't come near.
What are these guys?
Old man, we'll talk later.
Baron-dono.
Damn. There's no end to this.
It hurts!
Woahhhh. My big move won't come out.
Let go.
There's no end to this.
What?
Everyone!
Get lost!
Wait for me. I'm coming now.
Tch, like this...
Baron-dono, leave them to me.
Uh, what?
Jeda-san?
I know I'm tasty, but don't eat me!
I... I'm saved.
We'll hide in a safe place. Follow me.
I've drawn the seals. We'll be fine for now.
That's good, but...
I'm sorry for bringing you here.
Those guys can't come in here for a while.
Rest a bit and leave the town tomorrow morning.
Well then-
Wait a minute, mister. You know what they are, don't you?
Mostly.
Please tell us. Why are there only zombies in this town?
Could they be...
Yes. Those zombies are probably the people of this town.
How do you know?
Because the one who turned them into zombies was my friend.
Then you already knew this town was dangerous.
No. I came here to find clues of my friend's whereabouts.
But...
What I found is this terrible truth.
This is his diary.
It closely records his investigation of this town's legend.
And on the last page was written...
The town's people didn't make up the legend.
Certain knowledge was hidden underneath the mine.
One can obtain great power by releasing the seal of that knowledge.
It's a dangerous power, but if one uses it wisely...
It can also heal Kazan's curse... That's what is written here.
Kazan's curse too?
Yes. But he's probably swallowed by that dark power.
I must stop him.
You should hurry up and leave this town.
Wait up, old man.
Since that's the case, we'll lend you a hand.
I'm truly sorry. I didn't want to involve you guys so deeply.
It's not really for you. I'm doing this for myself.
How can I stay calm hearing it can heal Kazan's curse?
This is...
It's been a long time. Jeda Lucsupa.
I thought it was about time for you to show up.
Lang. You really have been swallowed by the dark power....
The dark power? There's no such thing.
Look at this great power.
This is the real power that can heal and help people.
What nonsense are you saying?
You've seen the town's people.
Once they gave me their lives, all of their pains were released.
No, the power they had was also released.
Then what's it that it can heal Kazan's curse?
Exactly, Demon Knight. Give me your life.
If you do that, then you'll be forever released from the curse.
Stop joking.
Baron-dono.
Stop joking!
It's useless.
Baron!
Baron-dono!
We'll save you now.
Baron-dono!
Come. Give up your life and be saved from Kazan's curse.
Be prepared.
What?
Baron-dono.
Old man.
Baron-dono, one day... one day, you'll overcome Kazan's curse!
Stay firm, Baron-dono.
Old man...
Your life is mine.
Baron-dono.
Well done. Lang is released.
Thank you.
Baron, are you ok?
Ah, sorry for making you worry. With this injury, I just need a meal...
That won't do.
Ok, let me treat you.
Nooo... It's ok. It's ok.
You don't need to hold back. I'll make you feel good in no time.
No. Let me go. No!
Then I'm going now.
Are you really leaving?
Yes, I must report back to the church about Lang.
I see, then please be careful.
If fate's willing, we'll meet again.
I hope so.
Then, excuse me.
Bye-bye. Thank you!
Why didn't you say anything to Jeda-san?
Yeah. He healed everyone's injuries.
Baron is mean.
Stop joking. You don't know how revolting it feels after treatment.
I don't want that type of treatment ever again.
Baron-dono. It'd be great if we can meet again, somewhere.
