See 1002001 on the left side of 104000000? 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?

I want 10 small snail shells for each of the following: 4000019, 4000000, and 4000016. Well, they can all be found in the forests near 104000000, so they shouldn't be hard to find. I'll be waiting.

Brilliant! Now it's my turn. It's really not much, though. Mostly about the Cygnus Knights, along with some gossip about the Black Mage. People seem afraid that the Black Mage might be making a comeback.

Aside from that, rumor has it that whale meat is good for new arthritis medicine…and that the glaciers may show up around here soon. Oh, and there are some rumors about adventurers who've come looking to slay the Balrog. But the real eye-popping rumor is about the Black Mage.

Luckily there's a mushroom scholar named 1012111 at 100000000 who specializes in studying mushroom monsters. Maybe a word with him will get you some valuable information. Good luck!

Oh, and although its possible to reach 100000000 on foot, you're still at a low level. I suggest you use a cab. Use the Taxi Coupon I just gave you, and it'll take you directly to 100000000.

You know how to ride a cab, right? Leave this place, head to your left, and you'll find a Lith Harbor Regular Cab. Use the Taxi Coupon I gave you, talk to the cab driver, and the cab'll take you straight to 100000000.

1210102s can be easily spotted in areas surrounding 100000000. Whatever drops, 30 of them should be enough to start making a hypothesis.

4032314s...? 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 1210100s and gather up 50 4032340s for me. 4032340s are usually twirled up, but during a crisis, pigs get so stressed their tails turn straight. If we study 4032340s, we'll find out whether the 1210100s are also preparing for war.

Seeing that the 4032340s are still rolled up mean the 1210100s are not preparing for war. Then why are the 1210102s getting ready for battle? Hmmm. We're back to square one.

For now, I'll keep looking into the reason behind this chaos. It may take some time, so I suggest you keep hunting. I'll see you when you reach Level 15.

9300274s can usually be found to the right of 100000000, at a field near the east hill of 100000000. 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.

The next assignment? Well there's really not much to do right now. I suggest you keep training. Just explore the island, gain some experience, and... I'll let you know when I find a new gig. Maybe when you get to Lv. 18.

101000000 is located to the east of 100000000. 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. 1110100 can be found at 100040003 in 100040000. You can enter through the hole in the tree where 1032112 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 1110100 got this puppet. If you are willing to help, then please talk to me.

1032112 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.

Okay, your task is complete, so you should rest up until I call you for another assignment. As a bonafide hero, I think it'd be best if you can spend your free time training. I'll let you know if there are any updates on this situation when you're around Level 23. In the mean time, if you find any information on the kid with the puppets, let me know.

In any case, I wonder if the fairies will be able to manage the 1110100s. It'll be pretty difficult to control them all. Maybe it'll be good idea for you to return to Ellinia and find out if they need any help.

Then I want you to head over to the 100040003 and eliminate some 1110100s. Right now there's a mixture of monsters that have changed and monsters that are relatively unaffected, so it's hard to tell who actually has the puppet.

But your task is simple. Forget about whether they've changed or not. Just eliminate 100 of them. Any 1110100 will do. Try defeating as many as you can and gather up as many 4032317 as you can find.

Ahhh, thank goodness. Just thinking about getting these 1110100s back to their usual selves is a draining experience, but this is at least a start.

But there's no way to tell when the kid will come back and plant another puppet. If he comes back, I'll call you for help.

Now please head over to 100040003 once more. There, I want you to eliminate 100 1110100s, regardless of their personality, and retrieve the 4032318 as well. You've already done this before, so it won't shouldn't take you too long.

We have retrieved a 4032318 three times already. I don't see why the kid wants to make the 1110100 more violent, but I'd like nothing more than for that kid to stop showing up and causing trouble.

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?

I think the Black Wings might be worth looking into. It may seem like a very secretive organization, but there's no way they can outsmart my intelligence network. I'll let you know when I hear something that's relevant. In the meanwhile, you should head over to 140000000 and tell 1201000 what has happened here.

The return of the hero, a group following the Black Mage, and the prophecy…the three seem to go hand-in-hand. As someone who revived the hero, 1201000 has a right to know about this as well. 1201000 may be a great help, too, since she's studied heroes for so long.

You know where 102000000 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 1140100s started acting strange. Frankly, I'm not sure which of the two, the 1140130s or 1140100s, actually carries the puppet.

So I just suggest eliminating any form of 1140100s. Oh by the way, if you manage to defeat all 100 of them, but still can't find a puppet, then just come back here. We'll have to rethink the situation then.

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 1140130s' behavior.

I'll try to figure out what other method may be being used. In the mean time, why don't you work on leveling up? I'll see you at Lv. 24.

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.

I'll keep looking into anything related to the puppeteer or the Black Wings. In the mean time, how about spending some time training? I'll see you around Level 28.

Thanks to your help, I was able to complete the investigation, and now it's time to turn in the reports…but I can't leave this place knowing that the puppeteer may show up anytime. Do you think you can go to 130000000 and submit this report to 1101002 for me?

Do you know how to get to 130000000? Head over to 101000000, and there should be a ferry available to 130000000. You'll get there in about 2 minutes, so it's not too bad of a trip. Thanks in advance.

Anyway, thank you for your help. Just to let you know though, 130000000 is not a place that really welcomes strangers. So unless you're interested in becoming a Knight, you should leave soon. The island is already overflowing with Knights who are training to stop the Black Mage.

The person who first reported this finding was a boy named 1061019. Go over to 105040300 and talk to him about the 2230101s, 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 2230101s? I think the 2230131s may need to be taught a lesson for them to return to normal. According to 1002104, they just started changing so you can defeat any of them whether they have changed yet or not.

Oh, and one more thing. 1002104 also said that this is probably related to the puppeteer and that you should recover any puppets that are found... What do puppets have to do with this? In any case, I guess you also need to recover the puppets as well.

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 1204001, so the password must be 'Francis is a genius puppeteer!' Okay, this is perfect.

Now that we know where the puppeteer lives, all we need to do is attack the cave! But it may be very dangerous, so you should train a bit more while I come up with a plan. Talk to me when you reach Level 29.
