Good decision. A few decades ago, I went into a huge cave in the middle of this island. In there I felt this force of evil only I could feel, and I was sucked into it, following it deeper into the cave ... I felt a sense of danger inside but that didn't prevent me from walking further into the cave.

By the time I regained consciousness, everything around me was blue. And in the middle of darkness I saw a pair of piercing eyes staring at me. He was ... yeah, the mythical, legendary Balrog. Possessing a huge set of wings and the teeth so sharp it could have cut through anything ...

I've spent all my life fighting, but his presence was undeniably overwhelming. My mind was telling me it was impossible to beat him, but it was already right in front of me. His weighty tail went up, high up ... and starting moving towards me!

Right at that second, someone stood in my way. This man, with a mysterious aura around his sword, fought Balrog straight up, enabling me to escape. After rescuing me, he was struck by Balrog's teeth and fell down the cliff. He was ... yes, the hero of legendary proportion, Tristan.

I went all the way down to where he ultimately fell. He didn't look like he had much of a chance. Before it was too late, he handed me the 1302014, by then worn-out by the sheer evil of Balrog, and then passed away. This is that same sword right here. I would love to restore this to its original state.

The sword becomes 1302015 once it is reawaken. However, as for the details of how to reawaken it, I have no idea. I think you have to eliminate the evil force of Balrog, though ... You should go see 1061000 from 105040300 and ask about it.

Thanks for helping me out. We may run into one another some day ... until then, take care ...

Incredible ... Tristan's sword ... I didn't think I'd live to see this again. I don't know who left you with this, but please tell that person that this sword is meant to be used the right way. My work is done. So long ...

I'm sure I've told you before, but a long time ago, I challenged the mighty Balrog to a duel. Thanks to the great hero, Tristan, I was able to come out alive, but I still have flashbacks of Balrog's vicious eyes.

Those evil red eyes... It's horrifying beyond words and you wouldn't understand it unless you've seen them yourself. Anyway, since then, I haven't been able to get that image out of my mind. I thought I was over it... but....

I felt those vicious eyes on me again shortly after sundown. What a creepy feeling it was. It was as if he were calling me... And I couldn't shake the feeling off! After much mental struggle, I asked my apprentice Mu Young to go into the central dungeon of Victoria and investigate.

He said he'd let me know if he found anything, but it's been a month with no word. I'm getting worried. Can you go search for Mu Young? The last time I heard from him was when he sent this message: \n'Master, I am going to get to the bottom of this, and to do so, I'm going to start from the place where it all began. I'll keep you posted!'

I appreciate that you came all this way to find me. We both know how tough it is to get here... I'm so sorry you had to go through all that trouble.

I came here to investigate at the request of my master and discovered something amazing. Many decades ago, my master was able to seal Balrog in this area where Tristan the hero was buried. But I keep finding subtle signs of Balrog's impending revival.

So I went deep into the dungeon to stop Balrog from reviving, but that place was filled with powerful energy. I mean, the force of Balrog was tremendously strong even though he hasn't even revived yet.

I don't know if I'd be able to handle Balrog on my own, even if he hasn't awakened. Could you please form an Expeditionary Team to help me prevent Balrog's revival?

My master was right again. You are one amazing adventurer.

Please deliver this message to the master in Perion. Please.

Please tell him that he must stay alert every single second or else he'll be consumed by Balrog's evil forces. Balrog may have disappeared for now, but he will come back when you least expect it. Tell him to be prepared.

I'd love to see you from time to time. I'm going to stay in here and continue with my investigation, but if you're ever nearby, please feel free to visit.

Alright. Could you talk to him and distract him while I investigate? Go on ahead and I'll be right there behind you.

I know a lot about rare treasures.

Bring me 20 pieces of Balrog Leather.

Hahaha. If you ever want to test your luck in the future, come and see me.
