Dialogue 1: Leopold
Missing Items Reminder
Trigger condition:Spoke to NPC before collecting required quest items
NPCLeopold:
Comrade, how is the situation on the battlefield? As you have no badge of the ol mahum in your hand, I see your performance has not been good. If you think fighting against the ol mahum is too difficult for you, you can always quit. It is better for both of us if you acknowledge your limits instead of aiming too high.
If you are thinking of continuing to fight ol mahums, I will give you some advice. As I already told you, the ol mahum may seem like savage beasts, but they have an organization that has been trained as well as any country's official army. Ol mahums will help companions in danger, so you may have to face several ol mahums at once.
Unless you form a troop like them, you have no choice but to approach them carefully and use guerilla tactics to deal with them one at a time. Knights may say it is a dishonorable way to fight, but it's quite an effective method.

Welcome, comrade of the sword! Seeing you safely return from the scene of battle gives me great joy. The badges of the enemy in your hand show that the goddess of victory has smiled upon you.
I received a letter that the brothers of the second platoon, who were dispatched to the south part of Gludio Castle Town, will return later than planned. I will need more of your services for the time being.
Dialogue 3: Leopold

Trigger condition:Spoke to NPC before collecting required quest items
NPCLeopold:
Welcome, my comrade of the sword! I congratulate you on your safe return. How was your performance on the battlefield?
How truly amazing! You have really brought me 100 badges! Magnificent! As I promised, I acknowledge you a member of the Black Lions. Because of our current situation, we cannot give you a proper joining ceremony, but instead, I give you this mark. The mark shows that you are a member of the proud Black Lions.
