I have heard stories about you, a legendary hero who has no recollection of the past and is devoid of the skills that made you a hero in the first place. But help is on the way! I have been studying the skills of the legendary heroes for the past 50 years, waiting for this moment to come! I will do my best to aid you on your training!

Rien might be too cold for Slimes to live, but do not worry! This is why I've been raising a bunch of Target Slimes nearby! Now, go ahead and take the portal here that leads to the training ground, where the Target Slimes await you!

In any case, amazing work! You have taken your first step towards reclaiming your hero status! Talk to me when you're ready to take on the next challenge.

I knew a true hero like you would be courageous enough to face such daunting monsters! This is why I've been raising Target Orange Mushrooms here, knowing that you'd be here someday! Return to the training ground, where the Target Orange Mushrooms await you!

Now let me know when you're ready to take on the next challenge!

There's actually a person there in Victoria Island that should be able to help you on your journey. Mr. Truth, or Tru, as he's called by the outside world, should be there. He's an Information Dealer in Lith Harbor. Take this letter, and he'll recognize you at once.

…I can't believe it. I'm standing in front of a hero. I used to live on that island myself, and I also used to believe the prophecy, but… oh my goodness. Lilin's wishes have finally come true. What? You want to know what I was just talking about?

See Teo on the left side of Lith Harbor? He's one of the more famous crewmembers. Your task is to ask him for the latest rumors that the other crewmembers might be talking about, okay? Good luck!

I seriously think you have a talent for being an informant. Continue to work like this, and you'll gain some valuable experience on gathering valuable information. Shall we move on to the next task?

Luckily there's a mushroom scholar named Bruce at Henesys who specializes in studying mushroom monsters. Maybe a word with him will get you some valuable information. Good luck!

Orange Mushrooms can be easily spotted in areas surrounding Henesys. Whatever drops, 30 of them should be enough to start making a hypothesis.

Orange Mushroom Horns...? That means they are preparing for war. I have to look for more reasons why this might be. It will take some time, so just go level up for a bit. Come back to me when you reach Lv. 14.

I want you to eliminate Pigs and gather up 50 Pig Tails for me. Pig Tails are usually twirled up, but during a crisis, pigs get so stressed their tails turn straight. If we study Pig Tails, we'll find out whether the Pigs are also preparing for war.

Seeing that the Pig Tails are still rolled up mean the Pigs are not preparing for war. Then why are the Orange Mushrooms getting ready for battle? Hmmm. We're back to square one.

Cynical Orange Mushrooms can usually be found to the right of Henesys, at a field near the east hill of Henesys. I guess you'll need to venture a little deeper into the east hill. Good luck.

This puppet… Something doesn't seem right. I better look into it. Please wait for a bit.

Thanks to you, I have another piece of valuable information. I should definitely get a good price for this.

Ellinia is located to the east of Henesys. Eh? Are you looking for a Taxi Coupon again? Not this time! I'll go broke if I keep handing them out like that. Do what you have to do to get there, but no more Taxi Coupons!

Thank you. Green Mushroom can be found at Dungeon, Southern Forest III in The Forest South of Ellinia. You can enter through the hole in the tree where Talking Tree stands, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Thanks in advance.

I thought it was just a rumor…but now it's really scaring me. The puppets are real. We need to know how the the Green Mushroom got this puppet. If you are willing to help, then please talk to me.

Talking Tree is a special tree that I've raised since he was just a sapling. He's still young, but he's kindhearted and modest. He'll answer you respectfully.

Is that all you need? Okay, now leave me alone. Even trees need some alone time.

Okay, thanks for this valuable piece of information. This is what I'd call lucrative information.

Now that I think of it, I do remember a report saying that there's a group that's trying to revive the Black Mage. I thought it was bogus, but now…it seems quite legit. Are they really trying to revive the Black Mage? Could the prophecy be true?

You know where Perion is, right? I'm sure you've become quite familiar with Victoria Island by now. It's located at the very north of Victoria Island. There, find the cutest girl you see, and she's the one to talk to. Her name's a bit strange, but yes, she's a girl.

It hasn't been long since the Ghost Stumps started acting strange. Frankly, I'm not sure which of the two, the Smirking Ghost Stumps or Ghost Stumps, actually carries the puppet.

Hmmm… I knew something wasn't right. The detector indicated that the puppet is here somewhere... Maybe they're using a different way of affecting the Smirking Ghost Stumps' behavior.

You do know how to break apart a pile of relics, right? Just use a regular attack on it, and the pile will crumble.

First, we have to wrap up this project, and that'll take a bit of time, so I want you to stop by later, when you turn Lv. 25.

In any case, when should I send this report…? Oh, don't mind me, I was just talking to myself.

Anyway, this is like the third or fourth time that you have stepped in and messed up their plans. I'm sure the puppeteer will try do something about it. You even ignored his warning once... I have a feeling he might find you before we find him. Be cautious.

The person who first reported this finding was a boy named Ilji. Go over to Sleepywood and talk to him about the Zombie Mushrooms, okay? If you find something that leads to the puppeteer, don't just attack right then and there. Make your way back here and let me know, and we'll plan from there.

Then can you please eliminate 300 Zombie Mushrooms? I think the Annoyed Zombie Mushrooms may need to be taught a lesson for them to return to normal. According to Tru, they just started changing so you can defeat any of them whether they have changed yet or not.

Huh...? This intense, gross-looking puppet... I think it might be the doll which that kid was carrying around....

Eh? Aran, are you really going to enter the Evil Eye Cave to see if the kid really lives there? Wow, no way! Who cares if it's true or not? Why would you want to volunteer to go in there? No way... You're brave, that's for sure!

Wait, the last time the puppeteer met you, he revealed that his name was Francis, so the password must be 'Francis is a genius puppeteer!' Okay, this is perfect.

I figured, attacking the Puppeteer would require a powerful weapon, so I rented one from someone I know. It's a disposable weapon that will disappear the moment you log off, but it's very useful. I suggest you use it when attacking the Puppeteer.

It's written in code, but this is a major find! This will let us know of the future plans of the Black Wings! And the thing is… I know an expert codebreaker who can figure this out in no time.

I'll hand this back to you now, and I want you to return to Rien with it. I'm sure Lilin will be able to help us.

I don't know why, but the Black Wings are desperately in search of something here in Victoria Island. What they are looking for is called the Seal Stone. The Puppeteer Francis is controlling monsters to look for the Seal Stone that disappeared. The document reads, 'there were some unforseen disturbances from an outside force, so we were not able to complete the mission. We need more Teddies to help us so we can find it fast.' So they're going to involve more monsters to find it. And that's all it says.

It's seriously urgent! Come as quickly as possible!

Come back after defeating Puppeteer. I have some good news I want to share when you come back. Haha, you won't be disappointed.

I followed the thumping noise and it led me to Neglected Strolling Path, a remote place that even residents of Orbis never visit. Then, I saw. It was a giant Nependeath! One that's a few times bigger than regular Nependeaths.

Rapid Growth Stimulator? Who gave this to Nependeath? No wonder the Nependeath grew out of control. Wait, that's not the problem!

Well, anything's fine. The fortune already tells me that I should tell you everything there is to know about Sealed Garden...

Your fate is so deep and so complex that I can't read it all, but one thing is sure. You're the protector of Maple World. Now go do what you're here to do…

These are the items I need for the special ink: 50 Straw Dolls, 50 Wooden Dolls, and 100 Broken Piece of Pots along with a service fee of 500,000 Mesos. That should be enough to make the 8 batches of Special Ink required to restore the Hanging Scroll .

Okay, here are 8 batches of Special Ink. Now open up the Hanging Scroll and spray Special Ink all over the scroll to restore the content. If you happen to lose the Special Ink, then I'll make you more, so just let me know.

Hey, do you know where in Mu Lung Dojo Entrance Mu Gong resides? He's at the very top floor of Mu Lung Dojo Entrance, awaiting the master of combat for a challenge. In other words, you'll have to get all the way up to the top floor by battling and only then will you be able to meet Mu Gong. But looking at you, you don't seem to have the skill for that yet.

...Shadow Knight... The Seal Stone of Mu Lung? Oh no… how could this happen?

(Whispering) Hey you're really giving me all this, right? And you're sure that this is good for my body? I mean, I want to go get some myself, but I have had no time... Too much work at the Training Center.

Ohhh…hahaha…this…this will make me even stronger than I already am. Hahaha…hey, you're still here?

Before all that, I think it's best for you to tell Lilin about this. Lilin knows a lot about the heroes, and she can help us.

I'm sorry, Aran. I'd love to go there myself, but I can't leave this post. You'll find Kanderune if you exit to the left and continue going west all the way to the Boulder Mountain Entrance.

The library can be accessed using the portal right above me. I left it open, so just go ahead and check it out.

…I am so sorry, Aran. I don't even know what to say. I know I left it here somewhere, but I think I lost it along with all the other keys. It's all my fault. I remember you telling me a number of times to hold onto my items and keep them safe... I'm so sorry!

Okay, this key is the Storage Key! Do not lose it!

Of course I do. She's one of the most famous people in all of Victoria Island. The protector of Henesys, the master of all bowmen. The person in charge of job advancements in Bowman Instructional School Henesys. Job instructor Athena Pierce! Seriously, who doesn't know her? But why do you ask? Are you planning on meeting her? Then you should head over to the Bowman Instructional School immediately.

Wait a minute, I can't read this.

So you're saying that a member of the Black Wings was already reading this letter? Then we have to assume that the Black Wings know the contents of the letter as well. It may be written in code, but I'm sure they have someone that can decipherit.

Wow…this one contains a complex set of passwords. This will take some time for me to decipher, but once I get that taken care of, I'll let Tru know. In the meantime, please keep training!

No useful information on the Black Wings, though! I don't think Black Wings have a clue about the location of the Seal Stone, either. We can finally get ahead of the Black Wings! Hurry!

The content of the letter is rather simple.

'Take care of the Seal Stone in Ereve.'

It looks like the Seal Stone is indeed in Ereve.

I have enclosed the information about the Seal Stone along with a letter as evidence. This will make believers even out of the residents of Ereve. Please find a way to convince them to protect the Seal Stone.

I know this doesn't seem much, but I am sure it'll help you on your journey. Do not feel pressured by this or anything. We may end up joining forces someday you know... That was me thinking out loud again. We'll meet again someday. Goodbye for now.
