創世紀七：黑月之門: 6月 2001

離開不列顛之前，再把一些瑣事處理完畢。

先到友誼會總部找Batlin，看看他對一些事的看法。

Batlin

"Zidane, my dear, dear friend! How wonderful to see thee again!" says Batlin.

apples

"While thou art here, please feel free to enjoy an apple. The finest in all of Britannia, I am certain thou wilt find. They are provided to The Fellowship by the Royal Orchards."

bye

Until we meet again, Avatar."

找市長詢問多年前王城的命案消息。

Patterson

"How may I help thee?" Patterson asks.

body

You relate what Lord British said about the murder in Britain a few years ago. Patterson nods.
"I remember it well. Quite gruesome, it was. There was a man named Finster who was running for public office. He was quite outspoken in his opinions, and I suppose this got him into trouble."

opinions

"He was trying to make many social changes. He wanted more power for the Great Council and the Britannian Tax Council, and he wanted to disband The Fellowship. Finster was a nobleman with too much ambition. Anyway, his beliefs must have provided him with a few enemies."

enemies

"How should I know? Anyway, his body was found in an abandoned building which is no longer standing. It used to be a storehouse of some kind, up near the castle. It was torn down a couple of years ago. The body was mutilated beyond belief. It was as if someone tied the poor man down with stakes and cut off all of his limbs. Finster was then beheaded. It was almost... what is the word... ritualistic! And that is all I remember. No one was ever arrested for the crime."

bye

Patterson nods his head at you.

既然要出遠門，糧食的準備是不可缺少的，那就來到不列顛的糧倉，皇家馬廄來收集食材吧。

經過浴血的狩獵，這下應該可以撐上一段時間的旅行了，南無...

在城堡裡面發現一間監獄，來去關心一下。

Weston

You see a thoroughly disheartened young man who is miserably languishing behind bars.

name

"I am Weston."

job

"I have none so long as I am left to rot here in this prison."

Guard

"Thy job is to pay for the crime thou hast committed."

prison

"My crime was stealing apples from the Royal Orchards. This I did and I admit it freely. If given the same set of circumstances I would do it again."

Guard

"A-ha! Not only an unrepentant criminal but also a potential professional thief! Look like this one has ended in the right place and just in the nick o' time."

stealing apples

"I had offered to buy them first, but Figg, the caretaker of the orchard, set an exorbitant price which I am certain he would have pocketed for himself. So, yes, I admit to stealing them."

Guard

"See hoe the common criminal blames his type of immoral behavior on others, all the while denying it in himself! This one is irredeemable, he is."

Figg

"He gives baskets of fruit free to The Fellowship without Lord British's consent, I am quite certain."

Guard

"Thou shouldst not listen to this obvious slender, milord! It is hearsay!"

admit

"Mine only regrets are that I did not try to steal something bigger and that I did not get away with it."

circumstances

"I am not from Britain, milord. I am from Paws and it is another reason why they believe I can be trifled with."

Guard

"This prisoner is from Paws! I bloody knew it! To his credit he was in town nearly an entire day before he stole something. For a citizen of Paws that is as honest as they come!"

Paws

"Paws is a town where thou mayest feel the icy grip of poverty about thine heart."

Guard

"Oh bloody 'ell! Now I suppose he is going to go and tell us his whole pathetic life's story! Couldst thou wait until I get out mine handkerchief so I do not interrupt thee with all my wailing!"

town

"Not so long ago Paws was a thriving rustic coastal village. But as Britain grew larger most of our local businesses moved there. We became a farming town and the seven year drought gave us a lashing that we have yet to recover from."

poverty

"I do not wish to bemoan my fate, but my family lives in Paws -- my wife Alina and my child Cassie. They were starving and I came to Britain to get food for them."

Guard

"Oh, now! Do not go and bring up poverty as an excuse as to why thou hast turned to crime! My father was so poor he and his family had to eat dirt. But he still raised me proper. Beat the stuffings out of me if he ever so much as imagined I did anything wrong, I can tell thee that!"

family

"I do not want any mercy for myself. I have admitted my guilt. But my life does not only belong to myself. It belongs to my wife and family as well. Without me they will suffer unbearable hardships, such as they might not survive."

starving

"Although there are fools who will speak otherwise, the people of Britannia are being crushed by the vicious tyranny of the class system. While a few have more than they could ever enjoy, there are many who go to sleep hungry every night. My wife and daughter to name two of them."

Guard

"Oh, that reminds me it is nearly time for my meal break! The trout is supposed to be delicious today at the Farmer's Market."

fools

"Fools like our good friend the guard would have us believe that nothing has changed in Britannia for over two hundred years. That we can live our lives as if all of our problems do not exist. I say to thee that it is people like that who cause our problems in the first place."

class system

"While I am certain Lord British is a just and fair ruler, he must be quite unaware of all that goes on in his kingdom. Surely he would not tolerate such inequity."

Guard

"All right! That is enough noise out of thee! All day long yakkata-yakkata about the awful terrible class system! Why, the next thing thou knowest thou shalt be sayin' society is to blame for thy crimes. Not a word from anybody about any appreciation for keeping the laws and order. No, of course not! But all the pity in the world for the dangerous lawbreakers who are the real threat to society."

Weston

"Wouldst thou speak with Lord British about me? I would bet that he is completely unaware of my case! Please! Wilt thou speak with him?"

Yes

"Oh, I thank thee, Avatar! My fate and the fates of my wife and daughter are in thine hands!"

bye

"I thank thee for visiting me."

找不列顛王報告Weston的事。

Lord British

"Yes, Zidane?" Lord British asks.

Weston

    Lord British listens to your story about Weston. He looks concerned.
    "I do not recall this case. Let me check... Hmmm..."
    He quickly scans a large scroll.
    "Imprisoned for the theft of one apple from the Royal Orchards... Ludicrous! Someone must have usurped mine authority. Thou mayest consider this man pardoned. An investigation will commence immediately into the circumstances surrounding his arrest, and into this fellow, Figg. My thanks thee, Avatar."

bye

"Goodbye, Zidane. Do come back soon."

回友誼會庇護所，探訪阿妮娜（Alina）。

Alina

"Good day, milord." says Alina.

Weston

"Good news, milord! Mine husband was pardoned by Lord British. He even provided Weston with short-term employment so that he may return to me with money enough in his pockets to feed us for some time! Excellent news, no?"

bye

"Pleasant day to thee, milord."
