I just forgot about it, since it's not something immediately obvious. Talking to Lenios' wife in Belladam is how we get a recipe from there. Namely, something I missed earlier because I am a dumb moron who does dumb moron things. There is, however, one little thing to do before we go there. We've been to Venezia before and it's not that far anyway. Our first priority is to form pacts with more Spirits. : Well, we should really worry about that after we defeat Dhaos. : I'm sure there's no simple answer to that question. To get there, first we'll need to head to the Port City, Venezia. If we head there, I'm sure we'll be able to figure out what our next move should be. It's controlled by the Kingdom of Alvanista, unsurpassed in their advanced magical culture. And I'be heard that the ring needed to form a Pact with Luna can be found in the Moria Mine. : Currently, of the Spirits known to exist the most powerful is said to Luna, the Spirit of the Moon. : Although, I doubt things will end up being so simple. : It's possible we could be killing two birds with one stone. At least Klaus is using his head here I'd expect him to though, given that he's a scholar and all. : Unless we can solve that problem, we'll have done nothing but postpone the inevitable destruction of the world. : If we can't put a stop to whatever is depleting the supply of mana, nothing else we do will matter. : Then, if we can't defeat Dhaos before he travels further into the future, we'll have lost our only chance to defeat him? If mana disappears from this world, magic will vanish along with it. : I don't think this problem has such a simple solution. If only I were as powerful a Methodist as my mother, then maybe. I'm amazed these guys can't put 2 and 2 together in this situation. Mana is needed to cast magic magic is the only thing that can defeat Dhaos. Surely, the logical conclusion here is obvious. : And all of my research really will have been for naught. : Is there nothing we can do to save this tree? If magic disappears from this world, then we have no hope of ever defeating Dhaos. However, whatever it may be, it is capable of consuming mana at an alarming rate. However, the amount of mana consumed by magic should be substantial enough to deplete the supply of mana. : Mana is essential if the World Tree Yggdrasil is to continue living. : This tree had withered away, only the lifeless trunk remained. : 100 years from now, in the world in which Mint and I live, magic does not exist. Perhaps you will be willing to believe me after the World Tree has already withered away? Once the Spirits and magic have vanished and all is lost. : Everything I have told you is the truth. : Do you really expect us to just accept a claim like that? : What!? Is that really true? In this entire world, this single tree is the source of all mana? Mana is the source of life from which the Spirits, magic, and all creatures are born and the World Tree is the source of mana itself. You must realize what it would mean for mana to disappear from this world. : Normal life cycle? The World Tree took root in the days when this world was first given form. : But isn't death part of any normal life cycle? : Even as we speak, the life of the World Tree Yggdrasil is coming to an end.

Even if only you will hear my words, I still wish for you to know. : You can hear me, can you not? In that case, I ask you to listen. For once, there's actually nothing we can do to put off going to where the game wants us to!
