Administrative DistrictTalk to Serval and hide at the workshop
📍 Jarilo-VI Administrative District
The Supreme Guardian Cocolia has her Silvermane Guards lined up on both sides of the road to welcome you and your companions back to the Overworld. Such a grand reception can only come from a worthy ruler.
The Guards, however, are not so keen on the idea of putting up a show. To complete their task as soon as possible, they'd rather see you hogtied and thrown into the Qlipoth Fort.
You and your company are now talk of the town... Maybe you should listen to Dan Heng and go to the workshop to avoid unnecessary attention.

Ah, we're finally back! ...I forgot what fresh air tasted like... Nom, nom, nom.
Options
Where do we go now?
What flavor is it?
Aren't we missing something?
March 7th
Wait! I haven't finished yet... Alright, let's go.
March 7th
...Freedom... Cold... Mainly cold actually. Let's go.
Dan Heng
No.
Seele
Where's Sampo...
March 7th
Nope. Next question.
March 7th
Where's our next stop? We should find somewhere to put our feet up, as long as it's not Goethe Hotel again...
Seele
Classic unreliable Sampo — he probably guessed we'd ask where his hiding place was. No sooner are we back in the Administrative District than he sneaks off.
Options
We should hide in plain sight. To the hotel!
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Let's find Landau!
Home is where the heart is. Back to the Express!
March 7th
No way! The boss will recognize us, plus Silvermane Guards are stationed nearby. We'd be offering ourselves up on a silver platter!
March 7th
The bro or the sis? If you're talking about Gepard, we should be careful... He's a top Silvermane Guard — he'd probably get a medal for every one of us he brought in.
March 7th
Where's your sense of loyalty!? Uh, that would be nice though...
March 7th
Dan Heng, what do you think?
Dan Heng
I think it'd be best to pay a visit to Serval Landau.
March 7th
So you think we should avoid Gepard for the time being, right?
Dan Heng
He's an elite officer of the Silvermane Guards. It wouldn't be easy to get to him. Besides... if he hasn't been persuaded by Bronya's letter, we'd be walking right into the lion's den.
March 7th
Hmm, makes sense... Guess we better head over to Serval's workshop then?
Dan Heng
Mm. But... we must keep a low profile — we're still wanted fugitives.
March 7th
What's wrong, Seele?
Seele
Nothing, it's just a little... new.
Seele
The last time I was on the surface, I was still a child. I have no memory of any of this.
Seele
The Overworld and the Underworld... We've... We've been cut off for so long.
Seele
I'm okay. Let's go.
Seele
There are so many Silvermane Guards on patrol. Is it usually like this?
Dan Heng
No, I don't remember the security being this tight last time... It might have something to do with us.
Dan Heng
The supreme guardian has probably learned of our arrival already. Bronya...

It's the radiator fixers.
It's a big customer with bigger pockets!

Hah...?
Serval
Ha, not interested — I need time, not money!
March 7th
Serval! We came past here before and helped you fix a few things, remember?
Serval
What...?
Serval
Ah, I remember! The three outsiders! Wait — why are you still strolling around the city? Do you know the Silvermane Guards are looking all over for you?
Serval
Quick, act natural and get inside. Don't get spotted!

📍 Jarilo-VI Neverwinter Workshop
The Supreme Guardian Cocolia has her Silvermane Guards lined up on both sides of the road to welcome you and your companions back to the Overworld. Such a grand reception can only come from a worthy ruler.
The Guards, however, are not so keen on the idea of putting up a show. To complete their task as soon as possible, they'd rather see you hogtied and thrown into the Qlipoth Fort.
Although you've managed to hide in the workshop, Dan Heng seems to have his guard up against the noble girl with complex relations with the Supreme Guardian.
It'd be best to talk with Serval first and see what you can find out about her.

Serval
Only a very few people in Belobog know of the existence of the Stellaron. Those that do would never associate it with the Fragmentum or Eternal Freeze.
Serval
But according to the data recorded in that robot, Svarog... the Architects dug out the truth long ago. The research results were purposely hidden away to ensure that the outside world would never know of them.
Serval
Just my luck... Out of all the research topics I could've chosen, I insisted on the Stellaron. It's clear now that anyone who wanted to get closer to the truth would have been expelled or "abandoned."
Serval
Maybe I should be thanking Cocolia. All she did was push me out... She could've decided to take a more permanent measure.
Options
How much do you know about the Stellaron?
Do you know what Cocolia's end goal is?
Can we talk to Gepard?
Do you know where the Stellaron is?
Serval
I figured out that the Stellaron and the Fragmentum were linked, so I was already close to the truth. It's a shame that the Architects ejected me before I could discover that the source of the Fragmentum was the Stellaron itself.
Serval
Before I lost my position, I was applying for permission to survey the Stellaron directly. It was my research topic, but I'd never even set eyes on it. My research was all based on historical data and lab simulations.
Serval
Not long after I submitted my preliminary report and application, I received my punishment. It was obvious that somebody didn't want my research to continue.
Serval
Cocolia... It's been so many years since we last spoke. We were great friends once — there was nothing we wouldn't share.
Serval
She became a completely different person when she took on the supreme guardianship. The convictions she once held, her enthusiasm... it was like they were drawn out of her by some mysterious force.
Serval
She gave the order to expel me herself and refused to see me... I never understood that behavior, and I gave up trying to use logic to work it out a long time ago.
Serval
Sometimes I even wonder whether she really did become a different person... is that possible? Perhaps there's a single guardian's consciousness that gets handed down from generation to generation... and the real Cocolia has already vanished.
Serval
Is she being compelled by previous generations of guardians to make such baffling decisions? Who knows... but this might make for good songwriting material.
Serval
Gepard? Not a chance... He's a decent guy, but also famously uncompromising.
Serval
For my brother, orders are more important than anything. Even if you stuck Bronya's letter to his forehead, he wouldn't be swayed.
Serval
You need to choose your words carefully if you want to persuade him of something. It might be best if I talk to him... though I'd need a strategy first.
Serval
Yes. I never observed it directly, but I used lab simulations and outbound surveys to establish a rough location.
Serval
According to the survey results, the Stellaron is likely to the north of Belobog... somewhere in the vast Snow Plains.
Dan Heng
We must locate it as soon as possible — ideally before Cocolia takes action. Can you tell us the way?
Serval
Not a problem, I was thinking the same thing! But I'm afraid telling you might not be enough.
Serval
The area to the north of Belobog has been more or less swallowed up by the Fragmentum. If you want to get to the northern Snow Plains, you'll need to get past the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone on the front lines first.
Serval
Even if you get past the restricted zone in one piece... you'll have a whole heap of Fragmentum to deal with.
Options
Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone?
A whole heap of Fragmentum...
Serval
Yes. That's where the main force of the Silvermane Guards is stationed. They've consolidated their position there in order to resist the encroaching Fragmentum.
Serval
Correct. And it's different from the underground towns you described. The Fragmentum there has quite literally torn everything to pieces — there's no sign of life, despite the monsters.
March 7th
It sounds like... The three of us and Seele might not be enough. Why don't we go back underground and get Wildfire to come with us?
Dan Heng
I fear we may not have the time.
Serval
Hey, enough pessimism! Back in my "official capacity" days, I spent a lot of time in the north — I got to know the soldiers and officers on the front line very well.
Serval
This calls for brainwaves, not "brawnwaves." How about I take you over myself?
March 7th
Really? Great! Phew, it's less scary if someone you know is leading the way!
Serval
Haha, I wanna see the Stellaron too, y'know — it was my research topic for over a decade. You don't get that many decades in life.
Serval
That's settled then! There's no time to lose — we should head out as soon as you're ready.
Head out with Serval and go to the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone
Luckily, Dan Heng's suspicions seem to be unfounded: Serval quickly sides with you and even provides a great deal of valuable information.
You are safe for the time being but will soon be waist-deep in danger again... This time, the destination is a place with the most Silvermane Guards in all of Belobog — the Fragmentum Frontline.
No risk, no reward, as they say. If you want to truly dismantle the crisis in front of you, being exposed to danger seems inevitable.

March 7th
Phew...I nearly suffocated! What kind of plot device was that...
Serval
I almost lost my cool when he went for his flask...
Seele
...This is bad. Bronya's in danger. We have to go save her.
Serval
Attempting to storm Qlipoth Fort by ourselves? Forget it, Seele. I don't care how skilled you are. I'm not sending you on a suicide mission.
Serval
Rest assured, Cocolia may have changed over the years... but she'd never hurt Bronya. I'm certain of that.
Seele
...You sound like Bronya herself. I don't get it — you guys are against Cocolia, and yet in some ways, you seem to trust her completely.
Options
Have you thought of a way to persuade Gepard?
Is Gepard going to the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone?
Serval
I was gauging his reactions just now, did you see? Unless we have irrefutable evidence, he won't question Cocolia's orders. If you go after him now, our plan's as good as over.
Serval
Didn't you hear him? He said he needs to take care of a few matters in the city first. If we're fast enough, we can stay out of his way.
Serval
Come on, let's go to the restricted zone. If we can get ahead of the curve and find the Stellaron, Cocolia will be out of options.
