Test of the Duelist

Greetings, young traveler. I am Duelist Kaien

The original meaning of the word 'duelist' was 'Challenger.' It was used to describe those who exhibited their dazzling talents in the arena at Shutguart. They bathed in the blood of their rivals and regarded that as an honor.

Now this title is given to those whose skills with the weapon have reached their zenith. It is an honor desired by all that wield a weapon, but only a select few may attain this title, and only after many years of training...

You may also become a duelist, but that is something to be discussed in the future... To attempt the trials at your skill level would mean certain death... For now, you must suppress your ambition and concentrate on your training.

(This quest may only be performed by Warriors, Elven Village Knights, Palus Knights, and Orc Village Monks with level 39 and higher.)

I see that you do not walk the path of the sword. I am sure you don't understand the thrill of combat in which 2 swords meet. You will never be a duelist.

Greetings, young warrior. My name is Kaien and I am a 'duelist' belonging from the arena at Shutguart. My quest is to travel the continent to discover talented swordsmen and train them as duelists.

Though the kingdoms of Elmore and Town of Aden are hostile to one another, that does not influence the affairs of a guild... My wish is to train as many duelists as possible and pass on the splendid tradition of swordsmanship of the Warrior Guild on this continent...

Ask about the Mark of the Duelist

Originally the term Duelist meant 'challenger.' It was a term used to refer to those who displayed their dazzling talents in the arena at Shutguart, who bathed themselves in the blood of their rivals and regarded this as their honor. Now it is a title given to those whose skills with their weapon have reached their zenith. It is an title desired by all that wield a weapon, but only a select few may attain it, and only after many years of training...

If you desire to obtain the Mark of the Duelist, you must pass the trial that I, Duelist Kaien, give you.

Ask about the Trial of the Duelist

In Gludio Castle Town you must face the puncher and

The masters of the Warrior guild and I have determined that your first opponent shall be the marsh stakato drone and the dead seeker in the territory of

In Giran Castle Town you must seek the Breka Orc Overlords and crimson binds. The Breka

I personally selected your opponents for the trial in Town of Oren. First you shall fight the leto lizardman Chief that lives in the southern regions of Town of Oren, and your second opponent will be the strengthened monster eye

Last of all you must visit the territory of Town of Aden... This territory is under martial law and many areas are off limits...

In the southern region of Town of Aden, you will find the

I am too tired to count. I will trust that you completed the assignment so far. You did well, but I would have been able to complete this task in a single day. The Duelist's Trial is not yet over, so do not get ahead of yourself.

The hard part begins now. Are you ready to attempt the final trial?

You are quicker than I thought you were! Good, now let's see...

Hmmm...You're still short. Tired already? If you're worn out, you can quit the trial at any time. Even if you do not become a duelist, you may still be able to carve your own path... Defeats are forgotten with the passage of time... What, you don't care for the sound of that? Then don't just stand there, go and finish the trial!

So you do not know the meaning of defeat... Good... then you are halfway there! Already you have conquered each territory. Now you must become the champion of each kingdom, that is to say, 'Conquer the Kingdom'... The previous trial may have been difficult, but this time it will be twice as challenging.

The opponent in this trial has been chosen by all the Grandmasters in the kingdom. You must achieve 3 victories from 1 opponent... That in itself is not an easy task. If you find it difficult to accomplish alone you may ask your fellow members to assist you. You will still get the credit for a victory should you succeed. Of course, your opponent will be much more difficult...

First you must slay the excuro and the krator from the Cruma Tower. As a proof of your victory, bring back 3 Excuro Skins and 3 Krator Fragments. I trust that I don't need to explain about the dangers of the Cruma Tower?

After this you must go to the Corridor of Death in Giran Castle Town and fight the Grandis. Perhaps you have already heard of the savagery of the Grandis?

Next find the Timak Orc Village Bladedancer from the southern region of Town of Oren and challenge him. The Timak Orcs are a strong race, strong enough to hold their own against the guards of the Town of Oren Lord. Furthermore, your opponent is the Bladedancer, so it will be best to view his skills as equal to that of the strongest warrior.

Finally, you must slay the larkin that wanders through all of Town of Aden. It is a giant, violent animal, so make sure you are prepared. It would be good to have a trusted friend watching your back.

These orders contain a list of the opponents you must defeat, so consult them if needed.

Certainly you are not finished with the trial yet! Why do you seek me? Do not come to me again until you have defeated all of the opponents on the list at least 3 times.

You have defeated all of the opponents of the final trial...! Excellent! Now not only have you conquered all of the territories of Town of Aden, but also Town of Aden itself! Magnificent! I, duelist
