Seven Signs, Forbidden Book of the Elmore-Aden Kingdom

I need your help now. Things just got complicated.

• Ask what you should do.

From where I'm standing it looks like you've completed everything for now...

(You have already completed this quest.)

We've researched the information you brought from Hardin. It seems the book we're looking for is in the Rune's Main Library. You should come with me to the library and search for this book. I'll have to get ready, so why don't we meet at Rune's Main Library?

• Plan to meet at the Rune's Library.
• Not quite ready yet, I need to make preparations.

Alright. Then, let's meet up at Rune's Library. Library Director Sophia can help you with any questions. I'll catch up with you soon.

What preparation could you need? Fine, go if you must. Just hurry, and let me know when you're actually ready.

Why are you wasting time? I told you we need to search Rune's Library for the book we need.

My eternal thanks to you, I can finally begin investigating Embryo because of you. While my investigation has just begun, I want to tell you about my future plans.

• Future plans? Oh great...

According to Solina's Biography that we read in the library, the Embryo group is deeply connected to Saintess Solina. But there is almost nothing about Solina herself. Of course, it would be her nature to let people know only what she wants them to know.

Anyway, in order for us to investigate the real identity of Embryo, we need to search the Monastery of Silence and track down her past.

• Monastery of Silence?

Monastery of Silence was where Saintess Solina and her pupils were staying. The Monastery's true history is known only to a few... Anyway, according to this book, we can learn more about Solina and her pupils from inside the Monastery.

I will make plans to sneak inside the Monastery. Let's meet here again later. And good work, my friend.

Oh? You seem different than when I met you. If you changed your class or if you're in a different state than before, you would have to return to your original state. (You cannot complete the quest when you're in a sub job condition.)

What is it that you wanted to ask me?

• "I have a question about the word "Embryo"."

Embryo? Hm.. I've heard of it, but I know little about it. Can I ask why you're looking for it?

• "I'm looking for a book about Embryo."

Hmm.. It's probably not in an obvious place.. I remember everything clearly... You seem to need that text, hmm? Wait..is that a book from the Elmore-Aden times? I remember seeing an old book about that. What else do you know about the book?

• "Nothing yet. Let me look around."

Yes. I will think about it some more. I think it will help if there's a keyword hint for the book.

Yes. I will think about it some more as well. I think it will help if there's a keyword hint for the book.

Saintess Solina? Yes, my memories about Solina from the book must be correct. Elmore-Aden's Saintess Solina's Biography. It was forbidden, so it was a very rare book to find. But if this is the right book, there's a small problem.

• "What problem?"

There are some books marked forbidden in the past, but they're now free to view. Many of them are nothing more than archives. Same with this Solina's Biography. Books like this are not open to the public, so are stored in the underground library.

• "I want to go there."

Unfortunately, outsiders cannot enter the underground library. I don't have a good feeling about this. I'm sorry, but you should go back.

You haven't returned yet? As I've told you, only people with permission may enter the underground library.

• Say the password.

Hmm...if you know the password already....okay. If it's his will, that's good enough reason for me to help you. Please just let me know when you're ready.

Are you ready to enter the underground library? I will take you right there.

• Enter.
• "I'm not ready yet."

Let me know when you're ready.

I think you're done here. I've done what I could to help you. I wish you best of luck.

You're late. Another moment and I would have left without you. But since you decided to show up, seeing as how little time we have left, we need to make progress.

• How can we find the book?

Why don't we ask a librarian? See if the lady over there knows of any book mentioning the word Embryo, and report back to me.

Is that so? That book... Hm... I've heard about this from Hardin. He said a saintess called Solina appeared in the final era of the Elmoreden Kingdom. I think Solina might be related to Embryo. If that's true, there would be something in common between Embryo and Solina. Let's go to see the Library Director and ask about Saintess Solina together.

Is that so? Well, it is as I expected, there's little we can do. I knew something like this could happen. Now, remember what I am about to say, and tell it to her exactly.

• What should I tell her?

Memorize this phrase and repeat it word for word.

Blood red sunset is colored on the ground, and the moon's shadow is soaking up the sky. If there is a start, there is an end. The corrupted justice is fallen on the dusk.

Memorize this phrase and recite it exactly.

Blood red sunset is colored on the ground, and the moon's shadow is soaking up the sky. If there is a start, there is an end. The corrupted justice is fallen on the dusk.

What are you doing? Let's go to the underground library and find that book.

Is that so? That book... Hm... Hardin mentioned something about this. There was a saintess called Solina, she appeared during the end of the Elmoreden Kingdom. I vaguely recall some connection between Solina and Embryo. If so, they would have to have something in common between them.

Let's go see the Library Director and ask about this Saintess Solina.

The book is somewhere in the underground library, right? Let's get ready and go to the underground library. If we search books published during the era of the Elmoreden Kingdom, we should find a book mentioning the word Embryo. Use that keyword while searching.

If we focus on books published during the era of the Elmoreden Kingdom, I think we'll find a book mentioning Embryo. Use that keyword while searching.

Yes! This is the book I was looking for! Now that we're finished here, let's hurry to my house. There is much about the future we need to discuss.

Yes, this is it! This is the book! Quickly, let's return to my home. We are finished here, there is much to discuss later.

I believe we are done here. Best of luck.

Do you need any guidance in the Saints Library, or do you have any other business here?

• "Have you seen the word Embryo?"

Do you need any guidance in the Saints Library, or do you have any other business here?

• "I have a question regarding the Embryo."

Seems like I should hear more about this story. We should move to somewhere inside the library - this place is too crowded. What do you think?

• "Yes, let's go inside the library."

Are you ready to enter?

• "I am ready."

I believe your business is done here. Seems like I can no longer help you. All the best, friend.

Why are you talking to me right now? Did you forget what you should be doing?

Let's see. So, the book we're looking for is somewhere in here? Then, let's definitely search carefully. Focus our search on books published during the fabled Elmoreden Kingdom. That way we should be able to find something that mentions Embryo. Use that keyword while searching.

If we narrow our search to books published during the era of the Elmoreden Kingdom, we should find a book that at least mentions Embryo. Remember to use that keyword while searching.

Great work, this is the book I was looking for. We're done here. Let's get back to my home right away, we have to plan our next step.

Yes, this is it. This is the book I was looking for. And now we are finished here, so let's return to my home and discuss this at length.

After Solina's death, the surviving disciples and followers went into the monastery and ceased communicating with the outside, forming essentially a world of their own. Afterwards, the Elmore-Aden kingdom was never short of rebellions and riots. Eventually, an underground group called Embryo was formed, and made a huge impact in many places all over the continent. In the end, the Elmore-Aden Kingdom was destroyed after King Frintezza made a contract with the demon and left for the tomb of empires. Thus the first great unification of the human race was finished, and sank into the books of history.

• "This is it!"

The value of memo is stuck.

I think this is the book! It's short, but there's something here about Embryo! I need to take a closer look at it.

This isn't the right book. There's no mention of Embryo anywhere.

The war started. The Giant's empire challenged the gods and soon felt the furious wrath of Einhasad. She took up an ancient weapon, the Star Hammer, and destroyed the giant's floating island of Sagira. Soon their fortresses started to fall, until all that was left was a solitary home for the ancient beings: the Cave of Giants.

In the beginning of time, there was a sphere that held the contents of our great universe. Within that sphere were two great powers, one light, and one dark. These powers absorbed matter more basic and more complex than our minds can comprehend. They aligned with matter and sounds and forms and ideas, and then formed shapes. The white light formed into shape of a woman called Einhasad, while the black light gathered and formed into shape of a man. He called himself Gran Cain. The very first things that were formed were light(=Einhasad) and darkness(=Gran Cain), and around these two entities formed the regions of light and darkness.

Pile of Books: Aden was agricultural, and compared to Elmore, much more religious. Priests began to move in society, from witches and wizards to revered scholars and philosophers. The leaders of Aden had the wisdom to use religion as a tool to control the people, drawing on the people's fears and providing them with a mystical being to cling on to. Innadril became a guardian for Aden, and he believed in Eva even more than Einhasad....

There was a great master named Marf. She made the ground, the sea, the sky, the mountains, and the forest using the energy of light and darkness granted to her by Einhasad and Gran Kain. She then created a race to help her work, the Dwarves. Marf taught them about crafting skills, the art of sculpting and architecture, and mathematics and measurements. The Dwarves then made more beautiful art than any other race, and made beautiful and practical buildings, causing other races to soon envy them. The Dwarves, not wanting to start a conflict, shared their arts and craft with other races, and received gifts in return for their generosity.
