Paladin Storyline Part 3
story
This post is based on "Paladin", the main storyline behind Mabinogi’s Storyline Quests. If you do not wish to find out about what happens next, feel free to return to the previous page and view other strategy guides.3. Ruairi and Triona
You’ve gone through a total of four exercises during the course of your training to become a Paladin, but all of the said exercises have consisted of defeating the Miner Kobolds in Barri Dungeon. You were told to remain patient, as the repetitive training was an important part of becoming a Paladin.
In the midst of your exercises, you also briefly met Ruairi and Triona in the previous episode.
Shall we proceed to the 5th exercise?
1) Paladin Course: 5th Exercise - Morgant
You can acquire the 5th Exercise by requesting it from Craig as you’ve done for the previous exercises.
Paladin Course: 5th Exercise
Class Fee 300G
Class Effect EXP
The sinister Miner Kobolds are harming people around Barri Dungeon. Your mission for today is to eliminate these Miner Kobolds.
This exercise, as expected, requires you to defeat the Miner Kobolds in Barri Dungeon. You can be transported to Barri Dungeon using the Red Wing of the Goddess. Place the [Barri Dungeon Pass for Paladin-in-Training] on the altar of the goddess.
Although you may be hesitant to hurt the seemingly harmless Miner Kobolds in the Boss Room, you must defeat them in order to view the continuation of the short clip.
[Triona]
Ruairi... Morgant is here.
[Morgant]
Ruairi, you stay outside.
Ah, it’s Triona and Ruairi from the previous episode. And… you finally get to meet Morgant.
It’s… It’s the Dark Lord!!
[Ruairi]
You…You...! Ahh! I'm going to kill you!!!!
As soon as he sees Morgant, Ruairi attempts to attack.
However, Morgant easily blocks Ruairi’s attack…
[Morgant]
…Enough! Ruairi!!!! Don't give me the ultimate disgrace of fighting a human who can't even take care of himself right now. If you really want, we can fight later! But now is not the time!
[Ruairi]
…You! Morrighan's puppet! What do you want from me! Why did you keep me alive!!!
[Morgant]
…I like your attitude. I like how you get straight to the point.
[Ruairi]
......Then stop beating around the bush! Why did you save me!!
[Morgant]
.........Let's just say that there was something different about you from other humans, and that interested me.
..How you tried to forfeit your life at the last moment to save the young girl.
...Though you could've been the Lord of the area if you wanted to, but you gave it to your younger brother and chose the life of a warrior instead...
[Ruairi]
What, you've been doing background checks on me...?
...I don't know what to make of that.
[Morgant]
Since you seem to be so considerate of me, why don't we change the subject...? How about…the people around you?
…Did you know your brother became the Lord...?
[Ruairi]
...!!
...I see... Is that right...? It's been a long time... That doesn't surprise me... Wait, my father...!! Did...my father pass away...?
[Morgant]
…Humans can't live forever... Humans can't help but destroy each other and bring themselves down…
[Ruairi]
...!!!
…What do you mean by that?
[Morgant]
...Ruairi... Your father was murdered. That's how Rian was chosen to become the new Lord.
[Ruairi]
What? Who did it...!!
[Morgant]
It was Esras. The prime minister of Emain Macha, Esras the Druid.
[Ruairi]
Wh..what? There's no way... That can't be! Esras is not like that!
[Morgant]
You misjudged her... It happens all the time. Even if you were right about her before, humans... always seem to change. You should know. Esras currently holds all of Emain Macha in her hand. Rian is simply her puppet to control as she pleases.
[Ruairi]
…What, how could this be…?
[Morgant]
The more power the humans get a hold of, the more they want. Face it. That's why there's a term called human nature. Esras is no exception.
[Ruairi]
No.... It…can't be...
[Morgant]
You're in denial... That's the reason why I think highly of you, but... I think I told you too much for one day. If you've already given up the Lordship, then don't dwell on it. Esras wouldn't want that either.
[Ruairi]
Shut up!!
Ruairi, in the moment of his volatile outburst, attempts another attack; but Morgant easily blocks the attack and pushes him away.
[Ruairi]
I can't believe you just said that!
[Morgant]
I applaud your courage, but I can tell that your body has grown very weak. Rest for now. I'll be back later.
On his way out, Morgant stops and turns back.
[Morgant]
If you try to leave this place, I can't guarantee your safety.
2) Ruairi’s Reminiscence
As Morgant disappears, the screen will darken and you will be taken into Ruairi’s memory.
'Hey… are you leaving...? You're not…coming back anymore...?
…Are you awake...?
Don't go... I don't care if I don't become the Lord... Just… Just....
Haha... It is the father's wish for you to become the Lord. Besides, I'm not really interested in that kind of stuff.
…But…But... You're on my side...
'I know...
But it's better that I'm not here. You wouldn't understand right now even if I explain it to you.
Rian. You're destined to someday become the Lord. How will you become a powerful Lord if you cry over something like this... And... You have Esras… It'll be okay.
…Ruairi...
Rian... I'll promise you. If something ever happens to you, I will be there to help you... No matter…how far I might be… I promise I'll come back…
…I will protect you…
Ruairi’s memory goes only as far as the promise he had made to Rian. Then, Ruairi stands up with a sense of determination.
[Triona]
Ruairi! Where are you going?
[Ruairi]
…I appreciate everything you did for me…
[Triona]
I… I want to go with you! You can't go alone... Plus…You don't even know the way back…
[Ruairi]
No, you can't! I can barely take care of myself right now! Didn't you hear what Morgant said? The same goes true for you! I can't guarantee that I'll be able to save your life!
[Triona]
Ruairi... Ruairi!!!
Triona runs after Ruairi.
Once you have finished watching the clip of Ruairi and Triona, you will see that you’re inside Barri Dungeon. Click the statue of the goddess in the treasure chest room to exit the dungeon and complete the quest.
3) Paladin Course: 6th Exercise – Ruairi‘s Rage
When the next day begins, see Craig to request the next training.
Does the exercise have to do with defeating the Miner Kobolds in Barri Dungeon again?
[Craig]
I don't know if you can handle this type of a mission... But I'm going to trust you. Doppelganger is a very dangerous monster. Do your best and complete your mission.
