Ries believes that her past ties with Kevin are irrelevant and wants him to see her as nothing more than a subordinate. The two turn out to be acquaintances of some sort who have been out of touch for the last five years. Later that evening, Kevin and Ries have a personal discussion outside of Grancel Cathedral. For better or worse, this settles the dispute and puts the artifact under the Church's jurisdiction. However, before he can answer, the Recluse Cube reactivates behind everyone. Ries and Erika debate the ownership of the Recluse Cube a bit longer, then leave the final decision to Kevin. The girl introduces herself as Ries Argent, a squire of the Gralsritter, and the one assigned to aid Kevin on his mission. Book of Ezer, Verse 2, 'Disaster Unleashed' It crawled through the fields, ran through the hills, and spread disaster in the skies above.” “That brief hesitation was all it took to spawn a great evil. Just then, a girl dressed in a habit enters the Primal Ground while quoting scripture from the Book of Ezer. She goes on a short rant about the Church's rigid control over artifacts and how she feels that they hide important truths from the people. Erika wants to the artifact to remain in the country for research purposes and as compensation for the ZCF's hand in its retrieval. As such, Kevin is tasked with investigating the artifact and giving the final word on Liberl's possession of it. This put the artifact in a legal gray area, as inactive artifacts are not required to be immediately confiscated by the Septian Church. Kevin learns that the Recluse Cube has remained inactive since its retrieval from Valleria Lake. On a pedestal found at the Ground's center, the group examines a newly-found artifact recovered from Valleria Lake after the fall of the Liber Ark: the Recluse Cube. There, they find a Primal Ground: an area used to seal away the powers of artifacts.
At the very bottom, the group seemingly hit a dead end, but thanks to Kevin's use of Thaumaturgy, they are able to enter the cathedral's innermost area. Once there, Kevin is met by the archbishop and Erika Russell, the latter of which accompanies him to the lower levels of the cathedral.
Upon arrival, Dorothy gets a scolding from Nial, while Kevin is greeted by Major Cid, who escorts him to the cathedral. On board he meets Dorothy, whose usual scatterbrained tendencies led her to accidentally board an airship bound for Calvard. Leaving the Merkabah back in Arteria, Kevin decides to take the international Gretna Airliner to Grancel. Before ending communications, Ein lets Kevin know that an assistant would helping him out with this mission something which Kevin finds most unexpected. Shortly afterwards, Ein orders Kevin to head to Liberl for an investigation of an artifact found there.
On board the Merkabah, Kevin contacts his superior, Ein Selnate, and reports on his successful capture of Conrad and the Fool's Locket. A group of North Ambrian Northern Jaegers attempt to surround Kevin, but he jumps out of the Lusitania's window and lands on his Merkabah vessel flying by, taking Hermann Conrad along with him. Once there, Kevin confronts Conrad, who attempts to pull a gun on him, but is easily subdued. With no options left, Kevin blasts his way out of the room with his crossbow and fights off gangs of henchmen as he makes his way back to the main ballroom. Unfortunately for Kevin, picking up the locket triggers a security alarm, which traps him inside this room and alerts Conrad's henchman that someone has broken into it. There, he finds one of his main objectives: an artifact known as the Fool's Locket, which allows its user to convincingly tell any kind of lie. After a bit of poking around, he opens a hidden door to a secret room found at the back of the cabin. Taking of advantage of his low profile, Kevin sneaks his way through the ship and reaches Conrad's cabin. On board, a masquerade ball is being held by the Conrad Company, which is led by one Hermann Conrad. The story begins with Kevin Graham's infiltration of a Reinford Company vessel called the Lusitania. 1.6 Chapter 5 - Labyrinth of Shadows and Light.1.4 Chapter 3 - Golden Road, Silver Road.1.3 Chapter 2 - The Otherworldly Capital.
