Dieci Assoc. South Section 4 - Hong Lu
Oho~ So that's how it's written~

| Identity Acquisition | Oho~ So that's how it's written~ |
| Morning Greeting | Ah, welcome! I'm so glad I ran into you. I just have to tell you about what I learned from the morning seminar today~ |
| Afternoon Greeting | Have you had your lunch yet? I read a cooking book today and learned a new recipe~ Would you like to try some of my cooking? My treat! |
| Evening Greeting | I know that many of us like to study late into the night, but I prefer to take it slow~ After a nice, long rest, I can absorb the knowledge like a sponge. It's important to pace yourself when studying! |
| Chatter #1 | I'm sure you would like to know more about this 'key'. Hmm~ How do I put this? It's a medium...? A vessel for knowledge...? Kinda hard to explain to someone who hasn't used it before. |
| Chatter #2 | Looking at things through this key reveals things that are normally unseen. ... Ah! My bad, I should've been clearer~ It doesn't reveal anything for people that aren't part of 'the Keys'~ |
| Chatter #3 | Ah~ I did hear that the Fists have their own share of concerns. Well, I suppose it can't be easy trying to do the Association business without the tool for unlocking the truth~ |
| Post-Uptie Chat 1 | Oh, did I catch you off guard? My key can grow and shrink... just like this! The more knowledge you stuff into it... the stronger it gets. |
| Post-Uptie Chat 2 | Yes. Wouldn't you say that using a weapon would be a more... enlightened way of engaging in combat? Weapons must have more varied applications than just throwing your fists around, right? |
| Idle | Hmm, which book should I read next...? |
| Uptying | Good thinking. Let my key be the guide to your enlightenment. |
| Deployment | Looking for a key? |
| Stage Entry | To unveil the truth. |
| Viewed in Battle | Yep~ I'm listening! |
| Commencing Attack | To bring the umbra of ignorance to light. |
| Enemy Stagger | The sealed intellect... |
| Staggered | Ouch... |
| Enemy Killed | ... Shall be unveiled unto the light. |
| Death | Um... I guess knowledge about food recipes... weren't too useful... |
| Check Passed | I'm familiar with this subject! |
| Check Failed | I've got... no idea what this is~ |
| Victory Cry | Now~ I'd say that's a task well taken care of! Uh... were you expecting something more? |
| Extra Conditions Fulfilled | Phew~ hah! It's all smoothly cleaned-up! Ah... I think my brain's been smoothly cleaned-up too... Well, no worries! I can always learn them again! |
| Defeat Wail | Mm... Maybe I should've cast a wider net when collecting my knowledge... I probably shouldn't get too immersed in a single subject. |

홍루 : Dieci Section 4
Aha~ I see! So that's how you read this word.
The child was reading a book through a ring on his key, muttering to himself.
The book was so ancient that holding it at a slightly wrong angle could completely unbind it. Its pages were filled with numerous, indecipherable, and squiggly letters.
The child didn't know exactly what each of those letters meant, but...
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
I see... linguistic forms other than the 13 common languages existed~
... he continued to stare into the ring on his key with his calm, unblinking eye. Perhaps looking through it revealed something different.
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
Hm... I'll have to shrink the ring a bit here—
The child expertly fiddled with the ring on his key as though he was playing with a rubber band. He shrunk the key to a smaller size, and returned to peering at the texts through its hole.
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
I knew it~ I see that someone's erased something back here, hmm?
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
There's nothing like this key when it comes to finding hidden or redacted records~
It is a publicly known fact that there are two sects within the Dieci Association.
The Fists, who directly collect and grasp knowledge with their own hands.
The Keys, who use their tools to study something indirectly through a lens, from a distance.
The Fists naturally veered toward hand-to-hand combat, encouraged by the essence of their main mode of knowledge acquisition.
And the Keys naturally veered toward using their very tools of observing and acquiring knowledge—thus charging their strength—as weapons.
로쟈 : Dieci Section 4
Umm... We're not allowed to touch this book, right?
이상 : Dieci Section 4
Indeed. This is an ancient document—a slight contamination from the sebum on the surface of our skin could alter it irrevocably.
로쟈 : Dieci Section 4
Tsk... how am I supposed to really understand this without touching it?
이상 : Dieci Section 4
Physical contact isn't always necessary. Sufficient information can be garnered from simply taking in the texts using this comparison chart that I have prepared. Now, observe this part where...
Though the difference between the two sects merely boils down to the personal tastes and the upbringing of each child...
... perhaps they would have enjoyed the convenience of a key in situations like these.
And there's more.
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
Hyah!
The Keys have the advantage of being able to use their tools to strike their enemies from afar, but the Fists have no choice but to get up close and personal with them.
??? : ???
Kagh...
??? : ???
W-what the hell, slapping people around with a key like that...!
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
Oh my, now where did you come from?
And since it's no common knowledge that the tiny key, small enough to be used as a pendant for his necklace, can grow so large like that...
... It's pretty obvious why some enemies are caught completely off guard when facing off against the Keys.
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
Whew... I guess that's all there was to do for today.
Now, one may wonder why anyone would ever choose the alternative over using a key, but it has its own downsides.
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
Uh... so where in the world am I?
To peer into a key for knowledge... means that knowledge gained from sources other than the key will not be stored as strength.
Enlarging the key, giving it a proper mass... it all costs 'knowledge' gained specifically through the key.
Of course, swinging about a huge key like that will inevitably burn a large quantity of knowledge.
홍루 : Dieci Section 4
Haha, I guess I forgot!
And that's how these missions usually end.
