Ultima 9

Part 73: Chapter 7, Part 11





: Good! Good! How can I reward you for this favor? Gold? No?
: No. I want a moongate back to Earth.
: Ah, I'm afraid I cannot do this. But gold will do, no?
: Keep your gold. If you won't send me home, give me the blue lens and the sigil.
: I'm so sorry, Avatar, but I do not have these things to give you. It is foretold that, if I give away the sigil, I die. Come now, we reach a bargain, no? What else can I offer?
: Let me ask your crystal ball a single question.
: That I can do!
: What will happen to the Gypsies if they do not help me find the blue lens and the sigil that I need?




: Ah! It is horrible! This cannot be, you must be showing me lies! I cannot give my life because of some lies. Begone!
: You said yourself that the blackrock crystal ball sees the future with clarity. You cannot change your mind because what you are seeing is not what you want to see.
: You are right. It is the blackrock crystal ball, no? How can it be telling me lise? If I do not help you, all is to be destroyed.
: But to save my people I must die; it is exactly as Morganna foretold. This is my choice: to help my people, and die, or to let them die at the Guardian's hand.
: Avatar, help me. Tell me what to do.
: I can't tell you what to do, Rom Baro. You must do what is in your heart.
: Before you make a decision, ask yourself this question: is this not the city of sacrifice?

Yeah, and my city is the City of Champions, but that didn't help the Oilers win the Stanley Cup.


: Ah, you are right: for generations, the Gypsy people have lived by the virtue of sacrifice. This tradition I cannot ignore.


: My people... my beloved people. It was foretold many years ago that I would have the privilege of saving the Gypsies from destruction.
: I am honored to tell you: that time, it has come, and so that you live, I sacrifice my life.
: I give to the Avatar my possessions.

: Here is the key to the chest in my wagon. In this chest you will find what you need.
: You must succeed in restoring virtue to Minoc, Avatar. Remember all that the Gypsies have done for you now and in the past. I do not want my sacrifice to be in vain.

: Remember, my people: through sacrifice do you receive the greatest rewards!






The greatest reward is a quick death.





















Just one thing left to do...







Only three more to go!
