Mr. Pickall's Advice

The current Dark Lord is the eighth one appointed, if I'm not mistaken. This is the disciple who took over after the former Dark Lord disappeared. So, all of that means that the current Dark Lord isn't very old.

Come to think of it, the disappearance of the former Dark Lord still remains a mystery. He just suddenly disappeared one day. He also had a daughter, but she disappeared, too. It was really, very strange.

Hey, aren't you [Nome], the person that Ryden has been searching for?

I'm sure of it. You need to go see Ryden. It seemed quite urgent.

I'm certain of it, [Nome]. Ryden was looking for you!

Okay, great. So, what did the people think?

In general, most people trust the Dark Lord, but there were some who seem to have doubts about the thieving Spore incident, not to mention the former Dark Lord who just randomly disappeared...

That's very useful information. Even the strongest wall can crumble because of a small crack. You've done a good job on this mission. Now, wait until you're assigned the next mission.

Let's act like total strangers in the meantime. People might get suspicious if they saw us conversing.

Ryden has been anxiously looking for you.
