Chu Han - Rinze.

really Chu Han

Merel sat on the train with a gloomy expression, realizing what had happened. Various thoughts swirled in his head, concerning not only what had occurred but also what was to come. These outcasts had sown the seeds of hatred with their actions and would ultimately taste the fruits of revenge.
Throughout the journey, he uttered only one sentence:
- We must return and burn them all.

And you still call Beata evil...

-- Your Highness, -- Ayko bows and waits for permission to speak before continuing. -- I am saddened to report that we failed to complete your assignment. There is no excuse for me, it all happened due to my carelessness... The gnome recounts in detail the fruits offered at the local inn and how the children use them, along with playing a musical instrument, as a trap against the guests. She explains that they attempted to carry out the operation covertly, but they were caught red-handed. She adds that the only useful outcome of the mission, unfortunately, was the intelligence gathered: according to it, the adults in the town were likely not cultists themselves, but rather worshipped Anush (judging by the examples of the blacksmith, Ho Yin, and the unnamed caretaker of the orphanage), while the children's minds had been poisoned with various dangerous beliefs (Lai Huang - Tevta, Carla - Sophia, Adele - Sophia, Antoinette - Gnosis, Xiao Bao - Risha, Chu Han - Rinze). -- What surprises me is not only this, but also the fact that... Although I don't know much about religions, I am almost certain that half of these deities are absolutely intolerant of each other. That is, the children's beliefs seem to be some kind of whim and paradox, imposed by someone among the adults with unclear goals. If they were enlightened, they could not coexist, acting in the interests of different malevolent entities that contradict each other. Unless, of course, they actually believed in something so dangerous. -- Despite this, I realize that our meager data cannot compensate for our terrible failure. I take full responsibility for this, as I failed to recognize the trap. I entrust myself to your hands and await further instructions... -- she bows her head to the ground. This time, the gnome's crown, unfortunately, did not scrape the floor...

- We will have to go back and burn them all.

During the audience with the Highness, Ayko expects to be told exactly that...

During the audience with the Highness, Aiko, among others, expects to hear that...

usually, villains in cartoons don't wait to be sent away after a failure; instead, after apologizing to the boss, they ask to redeem their mistake by being sent on another mission to eliminate the target, which this time will definitely be successful.

How do villains typically meet their end in animated movies?

Good idea, but in 50% of cases the sixth one says "I won't let you down again," to which the villain replies "You won't..." and kills her

So, all you have to do is betray the princess and become the main villains of the expansion, huh? "The Mole Queen" already sounds like the name of a mafia boss!

Let's hope Naria isn't a bit of a psycho herself and can't hear the gray voices...

"Mole Queen"

Aiko is now the "Mole Queen-in-exile."

- Your Highness, you released me from prison, so I won't overthrow you yet, I'm just joking! And I feel sorry for Guiyosh, that you don't like him – he's a good guy, smart, lucky...

The destination of the southern group turned out to be ruins.

After a lengthy examination, it becomes clear that in ancient times this was a school of martial arts focused on understanding the world around. Fortunately, even though no one was here, stone tablets with text and walls bearing the same were well preserved, and a character with knowledge of the Calcite language could understand what was being discussed. From what was written on the main wall (which also bore an image of some woman, apparently the founder of this place), one could learn that contrary to Marduk's information, the "official" name of this location was "Baldr Memorial", and the name of the martial art was "School of Gungnir von Breckendorf". In addition to information directly related to this craft, the stone tablets and walls told about the history of the inhabitants of the city Baldr.
