Art of Persuasion

Why did you come to see me?

• "I came here to offer you something."
• "I came here to tell you something."

Why did you come to see me? This place is far too dangerous for someone so inexperienced.

(Only characters level 40 and above are permitted to undertake this quest.)

What's in it for me? I think you are just wasting your time here...

• "The Tower of Cruma is no place to explore alone. I know you and Lorain have your differences, but can't you set them aside for the sake of the work at hand?"

Don't you think that it's too soon for you to join us?

(Only characters level 40 and above are permitted to undertake this quest.)

Work together? Undoubtedly she has made some minor strides in her studies that might possibly be of use to me, but...

My pride would never allow me to conclude some sort of agreement with her. In fact, I can barely stand to even speak to her!

Unfortunate, perhaps...

• "Perhaps you could enter into a contract with me, not with her. Then I will also make a separate contract with her. With me as a go-between you won't have to deal directly with each other."

Hmm. An intriguing suggestion... Very well! Let us conclude a contract together.

My condition, however, is that you share all information you discover about the matter.

What is your condition?

• "Give me the information about the district that you failed to explore."

Ah, that is easily done. Here is the map showing the location of that district. Lorain will be able to find the place easily.Please note that Cruma Tower is not accessible after level 56.

One more thing... The map I gave you is worth my life. Please return it after you use it.

Well! Where is the place we're looking for? Did that coward tell you?

• Tell her about the contract with Nikola.

Hmm, I must admit that you did better than I expected. I am satisfied. As long as our work can continue...

Now then, show me the map. I need to study it to see where we should search.

• Give her the map.

Patience! I need a little more time to study this map.

I think we searched the entire 1st floor after comparing my information to Nikola's map. The place we were in danger was somewhere on the 2nd floor. Nikola said that he was examining some broken devices in the front with help from the keeper, but he couldn't determine their exact purpose because of the monster attack. I suppose that's the place we want -- will you go there and check it out?

• "Let me know the exact location."

After you go up to the 2nd floor and pass the crossroads, you will see an intersection where 3 roads meet. Go to the right and you should be able to see the broken pieces of the machine. Be careful, though -- the alarm system in that area may be still functional. If you let the alarm ring, your life may be in danger.

To disable it, enter the passcode number 3196 into the alarm device. Be careful!

As I told you, climb up to the 2nd floor of the tower and pass the crossroads. You will see an intersection where 3 roads meet. Go to the rightand you should be able to see the broken pieces of the machine. Hurry!

Were you in any danger?

• Tell her what happened.

Well, I'm relieved that you're OK. May I see what you recovered from the ruins?

• Give it to Lorain.

To ensure that there are no oversights, we're issuing a certificate whenever we trade with anyone. Please keep this in a safe place -- if you lose it, you'll be in big trouble! Now go get some rest.

(If you lose the Certificate of Lorain, you will be moved back to the Seal Removal quest.)

Good job! After I study this, I'll ask for your help. In the meantime, you'd best go get some rest.

You see a pile of broken pieces. As you walk forward for a closer look...

You suddenly hear an ear-splitting siren!

• Look around.

A controller appears beside you. On a small screen, you see the number 120. The number begins counting down. It looks like you have less than 2 minutes to enter the password!

The alarm is deafeningly loud. Unless it is turned off soon, it may cause permanent damage!

The siren is deafening. Someone must have accidentally tripped the alarm system. You'd best get out of there right away!

You see something shiny in the pile of broken pieces.

• Examine it.

You see a metal plate with something written on it. Take it back to Lorain.

The surrounding area was devastated by the explosion of the alarm system. You see something shiny in the pile of broken pieces.

• Examine it.

It is a broken piece that appears to have been destroyed in the recent explosion. Perhaps you should take it back to Lorain.
