Head over to Henesys, where you'll run into Agent Roca, who's there to gather up information on the Black Mage. Secrecy is of utmost importance as an Agent, so you won't be able to find him easily. Your first task is to contact him.

Have you heard of the monster called Orange Mushroom? You've seen them while you were in Ereve taking on the Acclimation Training, right? Apparently, some of the Orange Mushrooms in Henesys have been displaying some suspicious behavior. They've been seen with sadistic looks on their faces, and they are always found together.

I'll stay here and look for Black Mage's whereabouts. I'll contact you the moment I spot something abnormal, so in the meantime, I'd like for you to keep training to make yourself into a mighty Knight. A good site for training can be Henesys Hunting Ground 1. Come see me when you reach Level 14!

I want you to go into The Rain-Forest East of Henesys and search the grassy areas, especially the ones in between the weeds and thickets. If you can find anything, ANYTHING, let me know, okay?

Thank you so much for your help! I'll be here to check on them continually, so I want you to keep training until the next big mission comes up, okay?

Please go and battle Pigs and Ribbon Pigs, while preventing Pigs from creating more chaos. If you can defeat 100 Pigs and 50 Ribbon Pigs, they'll know what they're running against and stop. Oh, and... while you're hunting Pig, if you ever come across an item called Pig Doll, please pick it up and give it to me as well! It's not 100 percent confirmed, but I think I have a general idea of what that item is...

...Maybe this all came about because of this doll...

Please hand this Mission Report and Pig Doll to Neinheart. He'll take care of the rest, so... oh, and your next assignment will also be given by Neinheart. Maybe we'll cross paths again with another assignment down the road. Until then...

Okay, so I received the report and the item related to it. I wasn't sure if it was true, but it is indeed a doll... Hmmm... anyway, I'll contact you when new missions come to light. In the mean time, I would like for you to train constantly so you can be counted on when the time comes.

Matthias will brief you on the rest of the assignment. May your efforts bring glory to the Empress.

According to the information we acquired recently, the subways in Kerning City are apparently full of strange dolls. Jake told me this, so I can say this with confidence. Those dolls do seem quite suspiscious... so I want you to bring Bubbling Doll back to me.

Hold on for a minute while I run through this doll. I'll need to make sure that this is the same one as the one found in Henesys.

I'll need you to slay about 100 Bubblings, and bring back 30 Bubbling Dolls from Bubbling. That should be enough to have at least one real doll mixed in.

...Come to think of it, that's a lot of dolls you brought here. How am I ever going to find out which one of these is real? Okay... so while I go through these dolls one by one, I want you to go out and train... I mean, see me when you reach Level 17.

I don't know about anything else, but Mr. Pickall definitely has an eye for things like this, so I'm sure we have the real doll plucked out from the mass. Just get it for me, will you?

Hmmm, anyway, we did wind up finding the real Bubbling Doll.

Inside the subway, there's a lot of Bubbling, ha! I need you to get me some Old Keys from Bubbling, ha! If you can get me 10 of them, I'll give you the real Bubbling Doll, ha!

Also, tell Matthias to pay his I.O.U.'s, ha!

I probably won't see you unless you receive another assignment here in Kerning City. Based on the fact that you worked with me even with my rather unfriendly personality, I really think you'll become a great Knight. Don't be a stranger, okay?

With the report comes the doll, again. Does this mean the Puppeteer is the one in charge? Hmmm... ah, I suppose you haven't been filled in with details about this.

This assignment came about because Hersha requested an emergency help. Hersha is a bit quirky, to say the least, but she is a capable agent who takes care of her business, so even if you find yourself puzzled by her actions, just follow her. That being said, finding Hersha itself will be quite a challange.

Back up a bit, then look the other way before talking to me. Do not raise your voice!

There's one way we can tell whether Arwen is controlled or not: Clear Tree Sap, which can only be purchased at Top of the Tree That Grew ... For an innocent Fairy, it works as a potent medicine, but for a devious character, it turns into a poison. Can you give that to Arwen for me?

Thank you. This will make my skin look 10 years younger. Yay!

If you strike plants that grow in The Field Up North of Ellinia, they'll drop some fruits every once in a while. If you can get me 10 Fruits, then we'll be able to find out if the Black Mage poisoned these fruits to kill us.

...Eating fruits that grow around this time of the year may be subject to food poisoning...

I will bring Grendel the Really Old out by telling him that I need to talk to him about something. While I hold on to Grendel the Really Old, your job is to enter Grendel the Really Old's Magic Library and search through every part of his library. This is just in case we find an item that may put all of us in grave danger.

I'll have to sort this all out in my mind. Talk to me in a bit.

Thanks to your help, we were able to protect Ellinia without any damages. Thank you for your flawless work. I will keep my senses heightened and question everything here in Ellinia so that nothing else will materialize. Until next time...

She may seem paranoid at times, but Hersha is indeed an outstanding agent. If it wasn't for her suspicions, we would not have been able to save Ellinia from the wrath of the Puppeteer.

After the delivery, 10 Boogies will brief you on the rest of your assignment. You will know where Detector will be used later on.

Ah, so this is the Detector that Neinheart was talking about. Before starting the mission, I must start Detector first. Please wait for a minute.

Please defeat 200 Wooden Masks and bring back Wooden Mask Doll! If it's the puppeteer's deed, then I am sure we'll be able to recover Wooden Mask Doll as well. Good luck!

Please head to Excavation Site III and defeat 1000... no, 500... no, 200 Rocky Masks and bring back Rocky Mask Doll for me! Good luck!

This detector is actually not a complete product. I just brought one that was still in its beta stages. Since it had a high probability of failure, I didn't want to bring it straight to the battleground, so... i wanted to test it at Perion, where there's a high probability of the puppeteer appearing.

Thank you so much for your help. Without you, I wouldn't have made the progress I made with this area. Like other agents before me, I can also vouch for the fact that you are a great Knight. Hopefully I'll see you here again someday.

Fortunately, the test for Detector wound up being successful. If we push for an upgrade in the functions, then it maybe be powerful enough to cover all of Victoria Island, which means it's only a matter of time before we locate the puppeteer.

Gathering up information on Black Mage is another one of the pivotal roles every Knight needs to master. Please gather up the information, then report the results back in Ereve.

Have you ever been inside the Ant Tunnel of Sleepywood? Inside the tunnel is filled with dangerous mushrooms, and Zombie Mushrooms especially make the lives of the travelers difficult. If you can defeat 250 Zombie Mushrooms for me, then I will tell you the kid's name.

His name is Francis. He's the kind of a kid that seemed just a bit off-centered. I don't know if he's the Puppeteer that you're looking for.

Telling you where the cave is shouldn't be a problem... but I need you to do me one thing. Lately I have been gathering up the herbs, and this herb is located at the Cave of Evil Eye, but it's too dangerous a place for me to enter. I'd like for you to... go in there instead and defeat 200 Evil Eyes for me.

It is located somewhere in the cave of Evil Eye. I was just running away from those monsters when I came across this cave, so I can't tell you EXACTLY where it's located. It was a cave that you can enter through a giant tree hole...

It's because I ran out of Horny Mushroom Cap, a main material used to create items. If you can get me 100 Horny Mushroom Caps, then I'll tell you of the prank that the kid tried to pull on me.

Mysterious Statue was vandalizing on the wall, so I told him it's not good to vandalize on a public property, but I don't think the kid heard me at all. Maybe he's the Puppeteer that you had been looking for.

When entering the home, there seems to be a password that blocks the entrance. Well, it's not even a password, since the answer's already out there if you've been gathering all the information. If you're still unsure of the password, then I'll tell you what it is, so start the conversation with me again.

Black Wings... Did Francis the Puppeteer really mention that? I see... so he was also part of the Black Wings...

(I see a drawing on the back, but I can't see it clearly. I better rotate the body of the statue just a bit.)

(It sounds like it means something...)
