Crystals of Fire and Ice

I am working as a trader now, but actually my expertise is collecting and trading jewels. I find rare jewels by asking favors of travelers like you and sell them at Giran or Aden. Not long ago, I heard that one can find precious jewels at the Elven Ruins of Talking Island. It is an elemental stone used by the Elven Mystics or something like that ...

Now that I think about it, the Elven Ruins may be too dangerous for you to go to. I was going to ask you to find me that jewel, but ... If you come across an opportunity later on to explore the Elven Ruins, please come to me. Then I will tell you in detail how to find the jewel there.

(Quest for characters level 17 and above.)

Although I work as a merchant now, my specialty used to be collecting and dealing in jewels. I would ask travelers like you to obtain rare jewels, and I would sell them at Giran or Aden. A little while ago, I found some entertaining information while looking through some ancient documents at the School of Wizardry. The Stones of Water and Fire that were once used by the ancient Elf magicians could be found some place on this island. It was a long-abandoned place called the Elven Ruins. Sound interesting to you?

The Elven Ruins are much too dangerous for someone like me, but I'm sure you can handle it without a problem. If you bring back the jewels that I'm looking for from the ruins, I'll pay you generously. How about it?

• Say that you'll do it.

Thank you so much for granting my request. Now please listen carefully to my account.

The Elven Ruins here on Talking Island used to be a place where the Elves taught the Humans magic a long time ago. They say that underground, there used to be a temple where the Elves performed sacrificial rites to the spirit kings of fire and water. When the Elves left the island, they broke the elemental Stone of Fire and elemental stone of ice, which were in the underground temple before they left.

But as the stones were shattered, the magic that was emitted from the shards summoned water spirit undines and flame spirit salamanders. Therefore, underneath the Elven Ruins there are still many salamanders and undines that have Flame Shards, fragments of the elemental Stone of Fire, and Ice Shards, fragments of the elemental Stone of Water, in their bodies.

What you must do is go to the Elven Ruins and bring the fragments of elemental stones that are inside the bodies of the salamanders and undines. I will compensate you according to the number of jewels that you bring back.

You have not brought any fragments of elemental stone. As I already told you, you must go to the underground Elven Ruins to find the fragments of elemental stone. Inside the fire spirit salamanders and water spirit undines, you will be able to find the Flame Shard and Ice Shard, respectively, fragments of the elemental stones of fire and water.

• Say you will bring the jewel
• Say you will end the Contract

Thank you very much. I think I can feel a warmth at the tip of my fingers because the jewel contains the power of the spirits. How fascinating.

As I promised, I will compensate you according to the number of jewels you brought me. Will you go back to the ruins to bring more jewels? Or do you want to end our Contract?

• Say you will continue
• Say you will end the Contract

If I come across any information on rare jewels in the future, I may ask you for your services again. I hope you will help me then, too.

Thank you. I thank you in advance. And don't worry about compensation. I will truly compensate you for as much as you bring back. I may not look it, but I always keep my word.
