40TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_SEQ_00Julyan would send you on your way.
51TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_SEQ_01Assuring you that she will look after Hildibrand in your absence, Julyan urges you to hurry to the Sil'dih excavation site, where Ellie intends to obtain the lost supply of zombie powder and exact her ultimate revenge against Ul'dah. Hasten to the scene, and rendezvous with Phillice upon your arrival.
62TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_SEQ_02Phillice and the others have located the fugitive Ellie, who stubbornly refuses to engage in conversation with her pursuers. Fearing the worst were an attempt to be made to apprehend her quarry by force, Phillice urges you to call out to your friend, and see if she might still be made to listen to reason. Step forward to where she might hear you, and, with the chat mode in <UIForeground>F201F4</UIForeground><UIGlow>F201F5</UIGlow>Say<UIGlow>01</UIGlow><UIForeground>01</UIForeground>, call out “Ellie!” to attract her attention.
73TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_SEQ_03Ellie responds to you, but refuses to stand down, insisting that her quest for justice against those who wronged her homeland is more important than her and Cecy's very lives. A pack of zombies that she summons to attack are dispatched by Godbert and Gilgamesh, yet the undead legions keep coming. Just when you appear hopelessly outnumbered, a blinding light from on high heralds the arrival of none other than Inspector Hildibrand, with considerably more color in his cheeks than when last you saw him. Illogical as it may seem, it would appear that his own time spent in the company of the undead allowed him to develop an immunity to the Traders' Spurn. With the zombies now at the side of their erstwhile overlord, Ellie surrenders, bringing the case of the many-faced thief to an unexpected but satisfying end. Your work is not done, however, as the ever-enterprising Gilgamesh has taken advantage of the confusion to take into hand the Treaty-Blade, insisting that he will not relinquish the relic except to one who defeats him and his companion Enkidu at Amdapor Keep. Make for the South Shroud, and rendezvous with Hildibrand, whose legs have likely carried him to your destination well in advance.
84TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_SEQ_04You arrive before Amdapor Keep to find Hildibrand in a familiar position. Assuring you that he will be along as soon as he completes his subterranean investigation, the inspector urges you to commence the battle against your rivals in hopes of reclaiming the Treaty-Blade. ※The Battle in the Big Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
95TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_SEQ_05You have emerged victorious over Gilgamesh and his primal companion, Enkidu. Leave the keep and return to the South Shroud.
106TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_SEQ_06You emerge from the keep to observe that a certain inspector has finally extricated himself from the forest floor. Inform Hildibrand that the battle has been won, and the location of the Treaty-Blade gleaned.
117TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_SEQ_07Phillice and the others arrive at the scene, rejoicing at the news that the primal menace has been quelled, as Ellie and Cecy share the story of one last unsolved mystery: an incantation of Belah'dian legend whose great power can only be summoned forth by a Warrior of Light with the Treaty-Blade in hand. The conversation is interrupted by Hildibrand, who has successfully recovered that selfsame relic. The inspector, by mere coincidence, speaks something resembling the final words of the incantation, and─against all common sense─the Treaty-Blade responds, casting forth a brilliant beam of light that propels both blade and unsuspecting passenger into the heavens. A smile comes to Ellie's face, her dream of seeing the legendary power of her ancestors with her own eyes finally realized. Inspector Briardien is pleased to be rid of his incompetent rival, yet strangely moved by his inimitable gentlemanliness. Nashu and Julyan run off in search of the beloved inspector and son, as Godbert muses on the true calling of a Manderville man. Meanwhile, high above Eorzea, Hildibrand hurtles off to destinations unknown, as his keenly honed inspector's sense calls him to his next case. One can only hope that he will survive his inevitable landing with his memory intact... ※The next Hildibrand quest will be available from Nashu Mhakaracca in Ishgard once you have completed the main scenario quest “Heavensward.”

5551TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_PHILLICE_000_050We've managed to track down Miss Ellie just up ahead, where your friends watch over her as we speak. Yet no matter how many times we try to reach out to her, she refuses to so much as answer.
5652TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_PHILLICE_000_051Needless to say, we considered physically incapacitating her. But that crate she's sitting on isn't just a makeshift chair; it's filled to the brim with the Traders' Spurn. One misstep, and the consequences could be dire indeed.
5753TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_PHILLICE_000_052You are our only hope, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Even in her single-minded rage, surely the time you spent together must still count for something!

6561TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_GILGAMESH_000_100Oho! To think this girl and her sister were behind the crimes all along! I daresay this realm is awash with capable adversaries!
6662TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_GODBERT_000_110You'd do well not to anger the lass, friend. She's sitting atop an ample supply of that zombie powder, and I suspect she's not afraid to use it.

7268TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_505Do you see now? Anything I might have once had to lose, I lost long ago. Now stand down, or suffer the same fate as the Ul'dahn dogs you would defend!

7773TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_509You only delay the inevitable. I have an entire legion of the undead at my beck and call. Face it, it's only with Inspector Hildibrand's ridiculously good fortune that you even made it this far. And he's as good as six fulms under!
7874TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_GILGAMESH_000_510Be forewarned, girl! Know that I speak from experience when I say: underestimate Hildy, and you do so at your own peril!

9389TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_HILDIBRAND_000_524The game is up, Miss Ellie. Pray abandon this madness. Besides, plots of mass murder hardly suit a lady like yourself.
9490TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_525It's over... It's all...over. Inspector Briardien. You said there was something you would tell me when all was through. I imagine you have no words for me now...
9591TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_BRIARDIEN_000_526Ellie...your powers of deduction are wanting. You said that you had lost everything and everyone you had to lose, did you not? As for me, I have found something─someone─with whom I intend never to part.
9692TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_BRIARDIEN_000_527I care not if it takes years, even decades. When you emerge from your gaol cell a free woman...I will be there. What say you?
9793TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_GODBERT_000_528...Miss Ellie. While the crimes perpetrated by you and your sister are unpardonable, you are far from the only ones guilty. On behalf of the Syndicate, I offer my apologies for the false aspersions cast upon your ancestors.
9894TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_GODBERT_000_529You said that the nation of Ul'dah was built on lies. Seeing what I have seen today, I cannot deny your words. It will not be an easy task to rewrite─nay, restore─history, but know this: I will do everything in my power to bring the truth to the fore.

Then came a flash from the heavens, and the next thing I knew...there she was!
107103TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_HILDIBRAND_000_538By the gods, it makes perfect sense! Doubtless the crystals heard Greg's heartfelt plea, summoning forth his friend─nay, no mere friend, but rather the <Emphasis>primal</Emphasis> Enkidu!

134130TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_PHILLICE_000_900<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! What news of the primal and the Treaty–Blade!?
135131TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_PHILLICE_000_901Remarkable! I knew the Warrior of Light would emerge triumphant! Let us hope that Inspector Hildibrand enjoys similar success in finding the blade...
136132TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_GODBERT_000_902Such design! Such craftsmanship! At once bold and powerful, yet sensitive and refined. I believe I've found the inspiration for my next masterpiece!
137133TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_903...Of course they're beautiful. They were the greatest treasures of lost Sil'dih. To think that they were locked away in the vaults of those that destroyed our homeland and dragged our ancestors' names through the mud...
138134TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_BRIARDIEN_000_904And just how did you come to know of these long-lost relics?
139135TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_CECY_000_905There was an ancient scroll passed down in our family, left to us by our dear grandmother. It spoke of the four Warriors of Light, their four relics, and an incantation of untold power. If we could have wielded this magic of legend, Ellie and I might still have had the last laugh.
140136TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_906Alas, speaking the words had no effect. Only a Warrior of Light can wield the power, or so the legend goes. Ah, what I wouldn't have given to see it─the ultimate achievement of the greatest mages this realm has ever known...
141137TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_BRIARDIEN_000_907And just what sort of incantation is this?
142138TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_908“The Ring casts open the doors of justice, The Wiseman whispers a verdict true. Azeyma's virtue shines down from the Heavens...”
143139TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_909...To complete the incantation, the Warrior of Light would then hold forth the Treaty–Blade and speak, “Blade in hand, I swear unto you.” The legends differ as to what happens next, but all speak of a great holy radiance shining down from the heavens...
144140TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_HILDIBRAND_000_910Over here, friends! Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire, returns with tidings most triumphant!
145141TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_HILDIBRAND_000_911Behold! Safe in my hands, none other than the Treaty–Blade. And the <Emphasis>real</Emphasis> one, this time, I swear unto you!
146142TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_912Yes, yes...just like that. “I swear unto you,” then...
147143TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_HILDIBRAND_000_913My word! Whatever is this odd tingling sensation?
148144TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_100_913R-Ridiculous! Hildibrand isn't a Warrior of Light! He's just some fool who thought he could stop the lesser moon with his own bare hands!
149145TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_BRIARDIEN_110_913It would seem the Treaty-Blade is just as confused as the rest of us.
150146TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_CECY_120_913No... The light... Someone stop it! I won't stand to see the legendary power of our forefathers wielded by this muscle-bound buffoon!
151147TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_HILDIBRAND_000_914Skyward hoooooooooooooooooo!
152148TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_BRIARDIEN_100_914...Well. I daresay that proved to be a most useful incantation, indeed.
153149TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_200_914<Emphasis>And so the light of justice that shone from the Treaty–Blade banished the shadow, returning peace to the land.</Emphasis>
154150TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_200_915...So the legend ended. I must say, I never expected it to be quite literally a beam of light. I suppose it wouldn't have been much use to us, after all.
155151TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_915Inspector! Oh, Inspector! Wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
156152TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_JULYAN_000_916Thal's balls, Hildy! First ye almost die at yer poor mother's feet, and now ye fly off to gods know where without even givin' her a kiss good-bye!?
157153TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_GODBERT_000_917Ho ho ho! It appears that a case of wanderlust has once again struck Hildibrand─as it has many a Manderville man before him. Godsspeed, my boy! When the day comes that you tire of mystery solving, your dear old man will be here to pass on to you the family art.
158154TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_PHILLICE_000_918So in the end, the Sil'dihn incantation of legend was wielded not by a <Emphasis>Warrior</Emphasis> of Light, but a <Emphasis>Gentleman</Emphasis> of Light...?
159155TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_CECY_000_919Well, the Treaty–Blade <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> some six centuries old, after all. Perhaps it's not quite as sharp as it used to be...
160156TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_ELLIE_000_920The magic that brought peace and happiness to the people of Belah'dia. It was...every bit as beautiful as I imagined. To think I would see it with my own eyes─it's nothing short of a dream come true.
161157TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_BRIARDIEN_000_921Hmph. He bumbles and stumbles through yet another case, and still he manages to make a girl's dream come true.
162158TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_BRIARDIEN_000_922A gentleman to the end...the bloody bastard.
163159TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_HILDIBRAND_000_923What's this!? A glint in the corner of my eye? A curious scent, wafting in on the winds from a far-flung land!? Do I smell...a case!?
164160TEXT_CHRHDB505_00502_HILDIBRAND_000_924Worry not for me, my friends! For wherever the wronged want for succor, I, Hildibrand, shall be there! Till we meet again!
