Shadow Fox - 1

You want to meet Shadow Fox, eh? Shh! Keep your voice down...

How did you know that I have a connection with Shadow Fox?

• Tell her that you heard it from High Priest Sylvain.

Oh, I see...

Well, if you wish to meet Shadow Fox, you will first have to prove your reliability and ability to me.

I warn you, I won't go easy on you...

So do you still want to contact Shadow Fox?

• "Yes! I need to talk to him about something very important."

Oh, I see...

Well, if you wish to meet Shadow Fox, you will first have to prove your reliability and ability to me.

I warn you, I won't go easy on you...

In fact, just by the look of you I can tell you're not ready for my test.

(Only characters level 37 and above are permitted to undertake this quest.)

Shadow Fox? What a strange name! Is that a person or some sort of creature?

I'm afraid you're talking to the wrong woman, friend!

(Only characters who have completed the Limbs of the Temple -- Second Half Quest are permitted to undertake this quest.)

Very well! Then listen to what you must do to prove yourself to me...

• Keep listening.

Very well! Then listen to what you must do to prove yourself to me...

• Keep listening.

I may seem a humble warehouse keeper, but I have another occupation as well -- a secret occupation...

• "Secret?"

Yes, I belong to a secret organization that buys and sells information.

We are called information dealers...

Shadow Fox is our chief, the senior information dealer.

But he takes great care to hide his identity -- given what he knows, he would certainly be captured or killed if his true name was known.

• Keep listening.

However, since you have been recommended by High Priest Sylvain...

You came to assist us in the search for the angel, eh?

To do so, you must join our organization as an agent. You must undertake the missions we assign you and serve our interests.

We are a neutral party in political, religious and cultural conflicts, entering into contracts with any and all sides if the price is right.

Agents and information dealers work independently on our clients' behalf and are sworn to secrecy.

• Keep listening.

Only trusted high-level agents are permitted to assist with such an important and sensitive mission as the search for the angel.

If that is your desire, then you must prove yourself at each level -- low, mid and high -- before you can be assigned to this particular mission.

• Keep listening.

I am a low-level information dealer. I will make you a low-level agent if you prove your value to me on one of my current assignments.

• Ask how you can help.

Do you know Iason Heine, the president of Heine Merchant Association?

He has been responsible for paying a large portion of the taxes owed to the lord, and for financially supporting the repair of Innadril Castle.

But some people say that he is simply waiting for an opportunity to seize greater power.

Our mission is to discover evidence that proves that Iason is in collusion with the Tasaba Lizardmen.

If this is true, it will seriously damage his career and reputation.

• "How?"

Our mission is to discover evidence that proves that Iason is in collusion with the Tasaba Lizardmen.

If this is true, it will seriously damage his career and reputation.

• "How?"

When he was knighted, Iason took a new family name, "Heine."

He said that he had discovered that the legendary hero Heine, who drove out the Lizardmen from the land of Innadril, was actually his ancestor.

But if he is in collusion with Lizardmen, his claim will lose its validity.

Moreover, if he became wealthy by monopolizing the trade route owned by the Tasaba Lizardmen at the expense of his countrymen, he will almost certainly be severely punished.

That, of course, doesn't concern us at all -- as long as we get paid...

• "Tell me about the mission."

Our client wants us to find the secret contract between the Tasaba Lizardmen and Iason.

...

Listen carefully now...

Go to the Alligator Island and get rid of the Tasaba Lizardmen and Tasaba Lizardman Shaman there. Once you have done so, you will be able to obtain both the pieces of the key to the Records Chest and the Records Chest itself. I can make 1 key to the Records Chest if I have 10 pieces of the key.

What we seek should be within the Records Chest itself.

Now go bring me the Records Chest and the pieces of the key we need to open it!

To find evidence you need at least 10 key fragments and 1 document box.

Head toCrocodile Beachand defeatTasaba Lizardman, Tasaba Lizardman Shaman and then gather Key Fragments and the Document Boxand bring them to me...whew! Don't make me repeat that!

Ah, well done! Now I can reforge the key and open the Records Chest.

• Wait until she has finished.

Hmm...this key doesn't fit.

Do you have any more pieces of the key or another Records Chest?

If you don't, please go to the Field of Silence and get rid of the Tasaba Lizardmen and Tasaba Lizardman Shaman there. Once you have done so, you will be able to obtain both the pieces of the key to the Records Chest and the Records Chest itself.

Hmm...this isn't what I expected...

Yes, here's what we are looking for...

Oh! The part of this contract that lists the name of the parties involved is written in code.

I doubt this will help our client as much as they hoped...

• "What should I do?"

Oh, you have done your part... I'm sure our client will still want this evidence, even if it's not quite the coffin nail they hoped for. In any case, we fulfilled our part of the contract and will still be paid.

...

• "Did I pass the test?"

Oh, you have done your part... I'm sure our client will still want this evidence, even if it's not quite the coffin nail they hoped for. In any case, we fulfilled our part of the contract and will still be paid.

...

• "Did I pass the test?"

Well done, adventurer. You have successfully proved your reliability and skill.

I will give you the title of low-level agent using my authority.

Congratulations!
