Let's get going, China Lilet! Oh, that was nice.
Is that salt? I smell salt.
We're coming up to the ocean.
The eternal, ancient city of Revaiva.
It originally began as a group who formed with the ultimate goal of discovering the secret to perpetual motion.
Revaiva is the forbidden city they eventually founded on the sea.
It's the ocean! An island? The Eternal City of Revaiva Part 2 They felt if they could develop the art of perpetual motion, then they could apply that to their own lives and discover the secret to everlasting life.
This is the greatest dream in the history of mankind.
They discovered how to live life free of sickness and death, but This is the City of Revaiva? Isn't much of a city if you ask me.
There's no sign of life anywhere.
I always thought this town would be bustling with joyous people who had been freed from worrying about death.
Man, and I was planning on being greeted by all the beautiful women living for eternity! Oh, Kir, you're so cool! I guess there will be no welcome wagon, or kisses from beautiful girls for that matter.
Looks like this became a city of death rather than a city of eternal life.
The secret of their discovery must never be taken from the island.
It is said that those who try to leave this eternal island with the secret will lose their lives.
It is a strict custom that they take very seriously here.
Is there really just no one here? Seems like Hell would be more fun than this place.
Hey, there's someone over there! Isn't that a statue? Who would make such an ugly thing? Maybe someone got lonely? If you seek to be happy for two hours, you should drink some wine.
If you seek to be happy for three hours, you should get married.
If you seek to be happy for eternity, learn how to fish! You passed the test, my little minstrel.
I have been waiting for you for quite a while now.
How many thousands of years has it been? I got a bite! It's a big one! You're not getting away this time, Mr.
Leviathan! Your old, decaying body can't take much more of this.
It's useless to put up a fight.
That's a fresh piece of sushi fish! He'll definitely be worth frying! Kir! Kir Royale! Vermouth?! Hey, Jing! Vermouth isn't breathing! What?! Don't you boys worry your pretty little heads.
It doesn't look good.
I'll check her out.
Her heart has stopped! What should we do?! I've been the undying king here for a long time.
Don't worry, I'm an expert on keeping things alive.
The eternal life that was discovered in that city has been found nowhere else in the world.
Because everyone who escapes is killed, the city's secret and location have never been revealed to the outside world.
There seems to be no way to discover this secret city, even for those of us who search for it our entire lives.
Amazing! Simply amazing! We are about to go where no outsiders have gone before us.
We will soon know the secrets of eternal life and the Water of Unending Life! I, Pernod, will finally cross over into eternal life, and sit on the throne above all living things forever! I've been alive so long, I easily forget names of things I learned long ago.
I even forget what everyday words mean.
There is simply no room left in my brain for any new information.
Isn't that normal for someone as old as you are? Maybe you're right.
That's why I use these name tags to remember what things are called.
When you're my age, you'll wish you had them too.
Especially if you become the next undying king, Mr.
Minstrel.
Hey mister, what have you been doing here all this time? I have been researching perpetual motion.
How to make it, and what it exactly means.
Hey, I can't tell you how many times I have failed.
One idea I had was that one could live twice as long as normal if they always kept one eye closed, alternating between the two.
I tested this theory on a cow, but only her eyes lived twice as long.
This little wind-up car here was designed around the idea of the never-ending, one-sided Moebius strip, but it only moves in small, sudden bursts.
I became incredibly discouraged after I designed this guy.
A lion? No, not just a lion.
He's the king of all beasts! I installed a perpetual motion machine in his mane, but it didn't make him live any longer.
Now he's a lyin' dead lion.
Lyin' dead lion? To tell you the truth, very few of my experiments were as successful as this guy.
Oh, this one! He was the one who gave us the ride.
This is my assistant, Villar.
What's this?! This is the famous eternal city of Revaiva?! What the hell has happened here?! What happened to all the people who are supposed to have eternal life?! Where have they all gone?! But wait, they couldn't have all left.
I'm sure they're hiding out, protecting the Water of Unending Life.
They've got to be here somewhere.
Let's go, China Lilet! But before we do, why don't we give you that little upgrade we were talking about? Hey, by the way, mister, how is Vermouth doing? Check it out, all he's doing is rubbing her body.
Hey, let me help you with that! I promise you, she'll be all right.
Nothing too bad can really happen to Vermouth here.
Hey, can I help with that?! After all, I was the one who made her.
She utilizes my best perpetual motion machine to date, the Odoradic engine.
That should do the trick.
King Cointreau! Oh, no! We already know about everything! We figured out your little setup a while back! Are you going to tell on me? What are we going to say? Hey c'mon, settle down.
I would never have been able to find this legendary minstrel if it were not for the work of Vermouth here.
You've been calling me that ever since I got here.
What does it mean? Well, that Let's go, China Lilet! The blue bird with the crown of flowers atop his head closes his beautiful wings of freedom and lands, positioning himself lightly on the shoulders of the minstrel, who has one leg lifted up to his chest, and quietly played his harp.
Those words are sung about the legendary minstrel, who, it is said, will become our next undying king.
That is exactly how she saw you land back in the field right outside of the capital of Corpus.
From that moment, she was sure that she had found you.
When I first heard about you I had my doubts, but now I told you it was him, didn't I, King Cointreau? And Jing totally passed all the tests and made it all the way here.
Hey, I hate to throw a wrench in this perfect story, but I'm a black bird, not blue.
And Jing doesn't even own a harp! Sometimes real life is allowed to vary slightly from legend.
He also beat everyone from the skeleton captain to Mr.
Leviathan.
I'm positive that you are to be the next undying king, Jing.
I am sure that once you take over my position you'll be able to find the answers to all of the questions that I was never able to answer.
You've definitely got a long life ahead of you.
You have plenty of time to tell him all about it.
Don't stress out.
Here's Here's some Here's some soup.
Oh, thank you! What is this? It tastes just like normal water! Yeah, but no matter how hungry you get, you'll never die.
You don't have to eat anything if you don't want to.
Sorry, this is just one way to hold on to the old way of life.
Now I just like to call it eternity soup.
Eternity soup?! But it has no special taste or anything! It's just normal water! Yes, but during all of these isolated years, it helped him remember that he is alive.
I get it.
What? What do you mean, Jing? It's just that I have so much free time.
Speaking of fun, sometimes as I go to bed I have him read me this Ohanashi.
Ohanashi? Is that a book? A collection of old poems? Are you just talking crazy? Maybe I am crazy.
This is the Water of Unending Life.
It now belongs to the two of you.
The Water of Unending Life! Is that what gives you everlasting life? What happens if we drink it? Will we be able to live forever? But didn't everyone in the town drink this? Why are you the only one left living out your eternal life here? What happened? They all chose to abandon their eternity and leave this place.
Hold on, let me get this straight.
They all had eternal life, but just decided to throw it all away?! It's true.
Nobody could find it.
King Cointreau is still looking for the same thing to this day, the meaning of everlasting life.
But why? What happened? Wasn't this whole place a fantastic eternal paradise? You guys must be leaving something out! What does all this eternal, undying life business even mean?! I'm beginning to think this legendary paradise is all a hoax! Sometimes real life is allowed to vary slightly from legend.
Right? And now I can finally join the rest of them in that world.
So, King Cointreau, you're looking forward to going back to a world that isn't free from death? Hey c'mon, take it from me, it's not that great.
Don't tell me you want to give this all up! I can tell you still got thousands of years left in you, old man.
You don't want to do this.
No, no, trust me, I'm quite sure.
You can't be serious.
Him again! You notice anything different about him? I thought he was expressionless before, but now I can't even see the slightest sign of life.
Sorry, I've never really been a big fan of peaceful negotiations.
I have come to claim what is rightfully mine.
I made it here, so I deserve to drink and receive eternal life! You really don't understand, do you? Even your refined ways can't save you from the perils of this drink! Go, China Lilet! That's right, China Lilet! Show them the power of your new upgrade! Jing! Just aim for that triangle above his head! All right, let's go Kir! Kir Royale! It didn't work! No way! Not much longer now, soon it will be mine! I will be the richest man alive! Basking in the pleasure of eternal life! Let me borrow this.
Kir, let's go! Kir Royale! I'm sorry.
It got a little messed up.
Jing, what's going to happen to them? When the big one moves, it tickles the little one and makes him laugh.
That in turn makes him move the controller, which causes the big one to move again.
They're a living perpetual motion machine.
The perpetual Laughter of Hell.
They'll be going on like that forever? I almost feel sorry for them.
But wouldn't it be great to be able to laugh for the rest of eternity? You really think so? What do you think, mister, of my own perpetual motion machine? Mister? King Cointreau? Is he really gone? King Cointreau Thank you Drinking and drinking the wine, without rest or reward.
He'd been living his life in that daze for so long.
One king dies, and a new one is born.
It is the way of life.
I guess life and death are like two sides of the same coin.
What are you trying to say, Jing? On the front side of this coin is Corpus, the town where journeys begin.
And on the back is Revaiva, the town where journeys end.
Stretching Stretching from Stretching from the Stretching from the lake To To the To the farm Hey, Villar.
Your master is dead now, don't you get it? Roger Roger, everywhere Roger, everywhere he Hey, what's wrong? Is he broken? He's fine Kir, just let him continue.
Sitting Sitting upon Sitting upon a Sitting upon a stone Listening Listening to Listening to the Listening to the stars Villar is reading him the Ohanashi so that King Cointreau won't get bored in his dreams.
He will continue to talk like this until King Cointreau wakes up.
So, basically for eternity.
The The deep The deep land The deep land and The The blue The blue sea The blue sea rustle Hey, Jing! Hey, if you're going to drink that, be sure and save some for me! Kir, I forgot about one of the most important things in life.
If I were to drink this, I'd never be able to see my mom again.
Jing! Jing, you All I'm saying is that shining brightly for a split second is better than living a dull, gray life in eternity.
