Great choice. I'll give you some valuable information on Magatia, so get your mesos ready, and let me know when you are.

Long ago, after the Black Magician disappeared from Ossyria, a group of alchemists got together and formed Magatia. The motto of the town is "Ultimate knowledge is only an experiement away."

In order to join Alcadno, you'll have to compile a report of all the experiments you've conducted, and hand them to the leader of Alcadno Society, Maed. Of course, the test doesn't end there... but I'll tell you the rest after you give me the ores.

Okay, then remember these three words. Lidium, Grendel the Really Old, and Alcaster. The questions Maed will ask you are related to these, so... make sure to remember these three words IN ORDER.

As a member of Alcadno, if you want to work with other members, it's imperative that you don the Alcadno Cape. Alcadno Cape is the best way to let everyone know of your allegiance.

Hmm. I was just kidding about the finger. You're not helping so you can save your finger, right? There's no way I would use a finger as a main ingredient. Seriously.

Lumo's Leaf is like the ultimate form of life. By studying this, I'll be able to make medicines that are more potent and effective than others...

Oh no! Really? Then go there and defeat 80 Roid . It's hard to find someone that strong in Magatiak, so I am excited to see what you can do. I'll be here waiting...

I am very excited to meet an individual as powerful as you... please come back later. I may have something else in store for you.

Hahaha...(smile) Good, then I want you to go to Lab - Area B-1. On top of the desk lies some pills that I have recently concocted, so take it... Oh, and since I am eager to see the effects of it, I want you to take it, and then come back to me. You must take the pills first, and then come back.

As a proud alchemist of Alcadno, I want you to do something for Alcadno. It's not going to be easy, but... what you'll need to do is eliminate 100 Homunculus. Zenumists secretly attack us in the middle of the night with them, so... by destroying them, it'll really help Alcadno out.

Apparently, just before he went missing, Dr. De Lang had been in close contact with a suspicious character. Have you heard of Han the Broker? ...he's a man with a very questionable reputation. Regardless, I also hear that he is very trustworthy in business deals, so I think he'll be good. You may get some information on Dr. De Lang through him...

Tsk tsk... This is definitely an unexpected source of income. This is good! Now, as promised, I'll give you the information on Dr. De Lang, as long as you're ready to pay me. Come see me when you're ready.

For someone who chose not to contact anyone around him... he had one person, a friend who he constantly talked to all the time. Do you want to know who? It's Eurek the Alchemist... Have you ever heard of him?

I believe the key to the place where the Secret Notes may be is made out of silver. Dr. De Lang was an expert at putting magic into a layer of silver, making it react to other types of magic. If there's anything silver, how about using it to try opening the door?

Zenumist and Alcadno. They are both hiding the truth behind what happened with Dr. De Lang. Those two can't stand one another, and yet they cooperate on this. They are hiding the truth from all of us, and I can't trust the ones that do that.

There's one thing, actually... that I did not notify the president of the society of. I didn't think there was much to investigate, anyway, but... the thing is, inside Dr. De Lang's home, if you place the handle in a certain direction, you'll be able to enter the underground study. It's a place only Dr. De Lang and I know of.

(It may have looked like a regular book, but when I opened it, the center of the paper that made up the books had a circular hole. It looks like if I place a round, flat object inside, then it'll work pretty well... and I can think of an item that may fit in this.)

Here, please take the Silver Pendant. I sincerely hope this will lead us to where Dr. De Lang is...

(After carefully removing the note, I closed the book. Once closed, it looked just like any other book.)

The person who can uncover the hidden notes is Alcaster. He was the 3rd president of the Alchemy Society, so I am pretty sure he knows a way to extract the hidden message from this note.

I want you to bring me Homunculus's Blood. Homunculus's Blood contains a mysterious power that reveals the truth from anything, but it's very difficult to extract blood from that angry, formidable monster.

(Without any hesitation, Alcaster poured Homunculus's Blood all over Dran's Note.)

Once you find out the whole truth on this matter, please come back and see me.

Good. I want you to take this Magic Rock with you. This should be one of the three Magic Rocks that have been extracted from the Magic Pentagram made by the Black Magician. I want you to find the other two and place them in the Magic Pentagram.

Hmm...I don't know. I've spent hundreds of years living here, but I still can't make the decision on what to do with Magatia...

Magatia is a town that was established over a lab of the Black Magician, who brought darkness to the whole continent of Ossyria. I am not saying it's literally built over the lab. I'm saying that all alchemy-related studies in Magatia are... based on the studies of the Black Magician.

I'll entrust you to take Dran's Note. Whether you decide to reveal the grim truth behind this saga... or keep it a secret for the sake of peace... I don't care which path you choose. It's your call.

I am glad you understand... now I want you to hand me that Dran's Note of yours. We will end this saga once and for all by destroying that note beyond recognition.

That cape is awarded to you, not only for what you have done, but also for what you will be doing down the road. I don't need to explain to you... what should be done, right? Never, ever say a word about De Lang's Notes to others.

...then I want you to hand me Alcadno's Cape and Dran's Note. As long as the book is still out, there's still a chance of the truth being released to the public. By incinerating the book, we're going to burn the truth in flames... even if that means not doing the right thing.

I was hoping for someone to prove Dr. De Lang's innocence. Once that person came forward, however, I have managed to hide the truth again... isn't that just incomprehensible? I don't know how I am going to live down with this for the rest of my life... can you handle it?

Why do you look so sad, though? Was Dr. De Lang... really the guilty one? It's okay if he is, I just want to find out the truth, so please tell me what really happened.

I am almost afraid to open this book. Part of me is afraid to find out if he's truly the guilty one... and part of me still wants to defend him nonetheless... but whatever the truth is, I am ready to accept it.

I will be here.

I will accept your promise. Please hold on. This book is heavily scented with alchemy spells, so it shouldn't take too long to locate it...

If the one Humanoid A holds on to is... really that, then... it's not a mechanical doll with no recollection of the past, but...

Then take this and go see Maed of Alcadno Society to have it checked out for the list of components in this. He will definitely know whether the medicine is good for Keeny or not. I am not sure if it really is for Keeny or not, but... if it does help her regain health, then I will be elated.

If Dr. De Lang's goal was to live an eternal life, then maybe he succeeded in doing that, even if that meant completely wiping out his memories...

So if I become healthier, that means I can concentrate more on my studies and experiments, right? This is really making me happy now. I'll study even more now so that one day, p2111003 will live the life of a human being!

I will wait for you here.
