All finished?

And are we done whispering secrets?

I've heard your story up until this
point, Yuri. And also the reason
for the bounty on your head.

First off, I owe you my thanks
for protecting her.

Oh, I've been meaning to express
my gratitude as well, Yuri.

It's nothing. I was already out searching
for that blastia thief.

And that's where we have a problem.

Hmm?

Regardless of the circumstances, the imperial
law cannot allow the obstruction of officers,
jail breaking, and trespassing.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid
I told him everything.

Don't be sorry. I mean,
I did all that stuff.

Then I assume you are prepared to receive
the punishment your actions deserve.

Flynn?!

Do whatever you like, but just
listen a minute, will you?

So you can tell me how it was all done in order
to get back the lower quarter's blastia core?
That's what you wanted to say, right?

Sir Flynn, I have news...
Wh-what is Rita doing here?!

I heard you refused an imperial
request for assistance.

Do you think it's all right for a
mage employed by the empire to
simply abandon her obligations?

Who's that?

Got me...

...Humph, whatever.
It's not like I care a
whit about you either.

I'll make the introductions.
This is my second-in-command, Sodia.

This is Witcher, a mage who
offered his assistance to us
at the laboratory in Aspio.

This is my...

You...! Sir, it's the criminal
from the wanted poster!!

At ease, Sodia...!
He is a friend of mine.

What?! But Sir, he's a wanted man!

I've just heard his story. While he is
guilty of minor crimes, the warrant for
his arrest contains false accusations.

Later, I will return
him to the capital and
explain the situation.

And he will receive
his due punishment.

My... my mistake, Sir.
Witcher, let's have your report.

So we're done here, right?

I believe the ongoing
rain and wind are being
caused by a blastia.

The weather in this season is unpredictable,
but this does not explain why it worsens
whenever boats leave port.

We also have testimony that something
like a blastia was carried into
Magistrate Ragou's residence.

I've never heard anything
about a blastia that
controlled the weather.

Nothing like that has ever been excavated...
Wait, the aque blastia, the ruins...
It couldn't be...

So his lordship, the magistrate, is using
a blastia to control the weather.

...It appears that way, though
we can't yet say for certain.

The harbor has been closed due to
weather. Any ship that leaves is fired
on for disobeying the ordinance.

So much for crossing
over to Torim...

Those aren't the only rumors
surrounding the magistrate.

He's released a monster known as Rhybgaro into
the wild, and amuses himself by forcing those
who can't pay their taxes to hunt it.

He claims he'll pardon their taxes if
they can manage to capture the beast.

How cruel...

That injured couple we met
near the entrance must be
two of his victims.

And their child...

What? What happened to their child?

Forget about it.

Well, it's been a hell of a day for
us and we're tired. Let's just stay
at this inn for the night.

Also...we can't forget about
a certain missing person...

...Missing person?
