The price of pyrite keeps rising, but when Diana's representative appears and informs him of the failed deal, Lawrence's plan collapses. Has he lost the bet against Amati and, consequently, Holo?

With a load of flour, Holo and Lawrence head deeper into the north, arriving at the town of Tereo, searching for an abbey with information on Holo's home.

Meeting with Elsa in the church, Lawrence and Holo are able to learn the truth about Father Franz's studies as Elsa reveals a hidden secret of the church, and the true location of the Abbey.
