• Harun
  ...
  Oh! I remember! It's here!

• 819
• Vittoria
  So this is the Carthage ruins, eh.

• 820
• Harun
  Yes.
  Julien must be digging up the ruins somewhere.

• 821
• Vittoria
  Let's go find him.

• 822
• Julien
  ?

• 823
• Julien
  ...
  Mademoiselle Vittoria!?
  I am surprised, our Patrone (sponsor) coming all the way out here to Islamic territory!
  I'm glad to see that you are safe.

• 824
• Vittoria
  Player was the one who brought us here.

• 825
• Julien
  Oh ho...
  I see.

• 826
• Vittoria
  So, how is the excavation proceeding?

• 827
• Julien
  ...Well, I was able to confirm beyond any doubt thanks to the discovery of some artefacts
  that this is absolutely the remains of the city of Carthage.

• 828
• Vittoria
  Looks like you really are a great hunter.
  Hey...
  When we met in Naples, that was an imitation necklace you gave her, wasn't it?

• 829
• Julien
  ?

• 830
• Vittoria
  I thought you were just some peacock trying to deceive his supporter...

• 831
• Julien
  Ha ha...
  So you have been testing me?

• 832
• Vittoria
  I apologise for tricking you like this.

• 833
• Julien
  No, it is a wise move.
  You truly live up to your fame.
  I was able to enjoy a good excavation, thanks to you.

• 834
• Julien
  Now, let me show you what we have found.

• 835
• Vittoria
  Oh no, not me.
  Please show them.

• 836
• Vittoria
  ...Oh, it's already begun.

• 837
• Julien
  ...?

• 838
• Painter
  ...This is an amazing mural.
  I'd like to use these techniques in my own oil paintings.

• 839
• Sculptor
  This terra cotta statue is fascinating.
  It's obviously not of Roman style.

• 840
• Archaeologist
  Keep your filthy hands off those until my investigation is finished!

• 841
• Vittoria
  Ha ha, it looks like they're all caught up.

• 842
• Harun
  Well, Player, wasn't I a big help in finding these ruins too?

• 843
• Painter
  ...This is an amazing mural.
  I'd like to use these techniques in my own oil paintings.

• 844
• Sculptor
  This terra cotta statue is fascinating.
  It's obviously not of Roman style.

• 845
• Archaeologist
  With this, I won't be at a lack for research supplies for a long time.
  I must thank Julien.

• 846
• Julien
  Vittoria, did you come all this way just to show them?

• 847
• Vittoria
  That's right.
  I want them to see the culture of the past for themselves and get new ideas.
  That way, they can acquire the wisdom we've lost these last few hundred years and create brand new masterpieces.
  And the people who see them will then start a whole new culture in Venice.

• 848
• Julien
  I see...
  So all of this is for the invisible, ambiguous thing known as culture.

• 849
• Vittoria
  I guess you could say that...
  But, I think that one day, things like this piled up together will help turn Venice into a real cultural cornerstone.
  Even if it takes decades, or even centuries.

• 850
• Julien
  Ha ha...
  That's some very forward thinking.
  However--
  I too have grown tired of being a decoration for nobles.
  I would love to sign a true contract to have you as my patrone.

• 851
• Vittoria
  I would love to.

• 852
• Julien
  Player, I will most likely be enlisting your help often from now on.
  It is a true pleasure working with you.

• 853
• Vittoria
  Without you, we wouldn't have been able to see these great ruins.
  Thank you so much Player, here is your reward.

• 854
• Vittoria
  Okay everyone, let's go back to Venice.

• 23052
• Several days later, Player was reunited with Harun, who had returned to Venice.
  According to him, Julien had managed to find the ruins of Carthage and because the excavation looked like it would take a while, sent Harun back ahead to report the find.

• 23053
• Upon hearing Harun's news, Vittoria said she was going to take the scholars and artists from her Salon and pay a visit to the site.
  Together, the group set out towards the ruins in Tunis aboard Player's ship.

• 23054
• However, since Harun had lost the map to the ruins, they were left with no choice but to find the excavation site on their own.

• 23055
• Eventually, they arrived at the ruins on Byrsa hill.

• 23056
• Julien was surprised that Vittoria, one of his sponsors, would come all the way out to an Islamic excavation site to observe things.

• 23057
• And the fact that she had brought the Salon's artists and scholars as well surprised him even more.
  They all were eager to soak in the wisdom of the past and use it to inspire new ideas for their works.
  Vittoria hoped that these efforts would eventually turn Venice into a true cultural centre, even if it took several decades, or even hundreds of years.
  Julien was shocked by such a long-term vision, but stated that he was tired of being the figurehead for the nobility and said that he would like to sign an official contract with Vittoria.

• 23058
• Vittoria expressed her thanks to Player for bringing her to the location and then left to return to Venice.
