【Beginning】
Baphomet was guarding the border of the cove. It was gathering information of the outside for Loki. It was not only the guardian of Dark Cove, but also the only channel for Loki to communicate with the outside. It constantly told Loki that it did not possess any knowledge; it was just a porter and recorder of knowledge.
The more Sabbatic Goat knew about the world, the more it could not understand. For example, it could not understand why Gods and Demons kept fighting against each other throughout the long history of the realm of men. Its knowledge told it there were a lot more ways to resolve conflicts other than war.
At the same time, the goat could not understand why Loki was trapped in Dark Cove and whether vengeance was really sacred. Sometimes, it would think about some ultimate questions, such as those of life and death. But it would soon stop thinking about it. Then, it would tell itself that these problems should not have existed, they were there because it knew too much.
Baphomet could no longer bear the worries brought by thinking. It had to stop himself thinking with his own consciousness. It hoped its knowledge could be erased, so that it could regain its lost silence.
- Loki, God of Tricksters: Just go to meet them.
- Baphomet the Demonic Goat: No, I don’t want to learn anything anymore.
- Loki, God of Tricksters: See them. After all, they come for you.
After those years, there was nothing that Sabbatic Goat did not know. He could not learn anymore. In order to approach the cove, scholars from the outside tried their very best to study the skills to travel beneath the land. They did all these only to meet Baphomet, but Baphomet evaded them. As a result, those scholars settled down in the Tower of Black Stones. Some of them could not adapt to the environment there, and they fall to sickness. Nevertheless, no one packed to leave. Baphomet had no choice but to take Loki’s advice, and see them at last.
【Before Battles】
- Lilith the Master Alchemist: The demon of wisdom.
- Lilith the Master Alchemist: We have travelled a long distance just to see you.
【Enemy Dialog】
- Baphomet the Demonic Goat: The possession of knowledge does not brings you wisdom.
- Baphomet the Demonic Goat: If you know I am a demon, why won’t you fear...
- Lilith the Master Alchemist: ‘If a man learns the universal principles, he may die without regret.’
- Baphomet the Demonic Goat: The universal principles? Haha, how come I would know such thing?
- Baphomet the Demonic Goat: But if you want that so bad, I can give you all I know.
【End】
Sabbatic Goat shared all its knowledge with the scholars, and asked them to find the answers on their own. Knowledge could never give people answers, and cognition would only bring them worries. However, when the goat returned to Dark Cove, what was in front of Loki was just a cloud of evil pneuma.
