Speaker 4: Dilleu, Emil and Credet strolled through the majestic remnants of

72
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,920
the Roman Era, absorbed by the charm of the place.

75
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:27,079
history surrounding him.

80
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: Credet, on the other hand, walked by his side, half amused,

81
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,319
half skeptical.

84
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,639
whispered about in these places.

00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:17,959

Speaker 1: Gem Lyllier, Pierre Jean Crepa.

95
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,079

Speaker 4: He had studied the map of the Ruins several times

101
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,480
and knew where to look.

102
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,439

104
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:21,319
Speaker 4: But the day was advancing quickly and they needed to

105
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:23,040
hurry before it closed at nightfall.

106
00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:27,920

00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 4: They passed along a path lined with broken columns, approaching

111
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,080
a place few visitors explored.

112
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:54,519
Speaker 1: Sou da emi sereta de vache presquiu.

113
00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:59,279

114
00:08:59,320 --> 00:08:59,919
by vegetation.

115
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:07,080

Speaker 1: Emil se de contini.

121
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 4: Emil, is it reasonable to continue?

Speaker 4: T The tension between Emil as passion and credet as

126
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,399
caution was palpable.

Speaker 1: Ne fu terrier pousse ni lavnci.

128
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:52,399

145
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,039
Speaker 4: Suddenly, a cool breeze swept through the chamber, carrying with

146
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:01,159
it an ancient echo, a distant melody like a memory

147
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:01,759
of the past.
