Here... right here...!

Sniff sniff... Thank you so much. I am so glad to have met such a helpful young warrior. I'd appreciate it if you can eliminate 200 6110301s. It shouldn't be too hard. What? It's easy? I knew you'd say that.

Hmm? The alchemist that was here before? Ahh... well, there was this fella that conducted experiments here not too long ago. He was so determined and focused in his work that I was too intimidated to talk to him. I wondered why he'd work on the Life Alchemy with such disdain for safety...

What happened to him? I don't know. He stopped coming after a while. All the reports on the experiments have been removed by others, and after that, no one used this lab ever again... I wonder why.

Anyway, I think you're much much more courteous and receptive than that other alchemist. It's good to find a chat buddy , you know. Hahaha... hope to see you again here.

Zenumist and Alcadno. They are both hiding the truth behind what happened with 2111002. 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.

I don't know what the truth holds. I ... do know that it is strongly tied to the very existence of Magatia as a whole.

Even if De Lang really committed a substantial crime... that's okay. I'd rather find out the truth.

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 2111002'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 2111002 and I know of.

You won't find anything special in there. I went through that room multiple times in hopes of finding more clues on 2111002, but that place wasn't made for scientific studies or experiments. That place was a small, private place for personal use...

But who knows... I want you to look through the study. Play around with the pipe, and if you hit the spot, it'll ask you to enter the password. The password is... my love Phyllia. Hey, don't look at me like that... it's embarrassing. Please let me know if you find a clue on this.

(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 4031744. I sincerely hope this will lead us to where 2111002 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 2020005. 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 4031737. 4031737 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, 2020005 poured 4031737 all over 4161031.)

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.

4031740 can be found through Homunculus, and 4031741 through D. Roid. I am sure those two were used to make the two robots, so with this much power... those three should be enough to stabilize the Magic Pentagram from Black Magician.

You'll need to activate the top Magic Pentagram, left Magic Pentagram, and the right Magic Pentagram in that order, followed by applying pressure on the center of the Magic Pentagram. This should aid the Magic Pentagram in stabilizing its power, which means you are holding the key to the future of 261000000! Good luck...

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 261000000...

261000000 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 261000000 are... based on the studies of the Black Magician.

Of course, that doesn't mean they are working on evil spells like the Black Magician. They were just referencing the Black Magician's work purely from an academic standpoint. Even with that, after a while, almost all remnants of the Black Magician disappeared.

Even with all that, it doesn't change the fact that 261000000 is based on Black Magician. You may not be aware of it, since it hasn't been too long since you first got to Ossyria, but... Ossyria still has a number of forces that oppose the Black Magician.

Imagine if they find out about the history of 261000000 and its origin... The reputation of 261000000, a respected alchemist town that heavily affects Ossyria as a whole with their contributions, will go down the drain. That's why the presidents of the Societies in 261000000 have been adamant about keeping all this quiet.

But nowadays, I am not sure if this should be kept secret any longer. Look at 2111002, a bright alchemist with a great future. His only sin was dedicating his whole life to the studies and researches... and when he became too close to the truth, he became a martyr instead. The truth must be told... to make sure his name emerges clean and free of rumors and scandals, if nothing else...

I'll entrust you to take 4161033. 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 4161034 of yours. We will end this saga once and for all by destroying that note beyond recognition.

If we let this slide without a hitch, then I will personally recognize you as a Senior Alchemist of Zenumist. This is for all the work you did on this issue, so please accept it. Now hand me 1102135 and 4161034.

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 1102136 and 4161033. 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 2111002'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 2111002... 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 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 2111003 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 2111001 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 2111005 or not. I am not sure if it really is for 2111005 or not, but... if it does help her regain health, then I will be elated.

If 2111002'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!

Unbeknownst to most everyone, there's a Secret Passage that connects Zenumist and Alcadno. It's a secret passage that almost no one knows of. Even if you are aware of it, it's off limits. You need a pass to have access to the passage.

But about that pass... I can't remember where I misplaced it. I don't even remember when I lost it, either. If I had that, then I would have used that passage regularly. Maybe the 6110301s took it...

If you, for some reason, end up with the pass, then try using it at the entrance of the passage at either 261010000 or 261020200. That should be enough to gain access to the secret passage.

Then I want you go and get 100 #t4000363 from 6110301. If we make some combinations out of those verification numbers, we may be able to figure out the Master Code that will let us gain access to the Secret Passage.

This requires a great amount of concentration, so please leave me alone for a while.

The existence of the Secret Passage should not be made public to others. Why? Because inside the Secret Passage, you'll be led to... uhm, never mind. You didn't hear that from me. Anyway, keep this a secret, okay?
