Path chapter nine to the forbidden land.

>> I regret to say I don't have another
0:09
warding chain here for you. I could try
0:12
to craft one, but it requires a rare
0:14
material. It's found in very, very few
0:17
places in Dagda, and those places are
0:21
difficult to reach. The only place I
0:23
know where some can be found is the
0:25
forbidden land far to the northwest.
0:37
You mean the sacred land of the people
0:43
>> I happen to have a visitor from there
0:44
right now. Wait right here.
0:54
Here we are. This man has agreed to
0:56
guide you to the forbidden land.
1:01
Hello, my name is Long. I hail from Kun.
1:06
Pleased to meet you, Queen of Saramus
1:19
>> Truly, what sort of man are you? Are you
1:22
of the White Egg as well?
1:29
>> Your name is well known among the forest
1:31
peoples as a master combatant.
1:34
>> Yes, I am he. I come from the village of
1:37
Kunloom where the people of the white
1:40
>> Then you are well suited to guide us
1:46
I also see that you [music] carry one of
1:48
the magic tubes which hurls lightning. I
1:51
met someone called [music] Anatolia and
1:53
Daxian who used one just like it.
1:58
Good name. It means land where the sun
2:02
rises in the ancient tongue. Theodore,
2:04
when you arrive in Kumu, give this to a
2:11
The words seem different from the
2:13
writing in Dagda, but I cannot decipher
2:15
them. I must like [music] the written
2:17
word. You boss has forbidden the
2:19
practice since the long ago days [music]
2:29
Have you never wondered why Eufus might
2:32
have given such an order?
2:33
>> Because writing is an evil that corrupts
2:35
the human [music] spirit.
2:38
>> No. It is because Dagda the Great feared
2:41
the [music] knowledge held by the people
2:43
of the white egg. It was out of
2:45
deference to him that Euas forbade your
2:47
ancestors to read or write. It was
2:49
necessary so that Dagda would allow her
2:51
to save the lives of those children. So
2:54
long as Dagda the Great slumbers, there
2:57
is no reason for the ban on written
2:59
language. Listen, Theodora, writing is
3:03
more precious than you believe it to be.
3:05
Written language is how we learn about
3:07
times other than our own. Where your
3:10
people came from, the mistakes they've
3:12
made, all of that valuable knowledge
3:15
handed down. It [music] allows children
3:17
to benefit from all of that. I can share
3:20
what I know while I live. What about
3:23
>> I see no issue while Bone Adventure is
3:26
here. He is quick to educate me from his
3:28
predigious memory. That is a
3:30
short-sighted view. There are not many
3:33
Bone Adventures in the world. Besides,
3:35
human memory is more fallible than you'd
3:38
think. We remember what we prefer.
3:51
And that's how it is.
