Nikola's Cooperation

Why did you come to see me?

• "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.)

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have nothing to say on the matter.

• "Wouldn't you like to work together with Lorain in the future?"

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.)

That was not my fault. I do not know what you heard, but I have nothing to say. I did nothing wrong!

• "Are you going to ignore her?"

How can I deal civilly with someone who is so unreasonable?

You obviously know nothing about this. Why don't you just go away and leave me alone!

I have a great deal of work to do.

• "Why not work with her? I can help you contact her."

You don't give up, do you?

Very well. I will agree to help her in good faith. But you had best keep your promise as well! Here, take this map. It shows the last place that Lorain explored.

I hope to hear good news from you soon! Please note that Cruma Tower is not accessible after level 56.

I trusted you enough to give you the map, which is the culmination of my explorations, didn't I? Don't forget that you are supposed to lend it to Lorain.

Well! Where is the place? Did that coward tell you?

• "He wanted to repair his relationship with you -- he told me that what happened was simply a misunderstanding. As a sign of good faith, he lent me this map to show you."

What? Misunderstanding?

What is that old man talking about? That's absurd...

But he said he would help us, eh? It's certainly not like him to lend us his precious map.

I'm still angry at him, but now I have to admit I'm curious enough about his motives to talk to him again...

In any case, show me the map! I want to study it to see exactly where we should search.

• Give her the map.

Can you wait a moment? I need more time to check this out.

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.
