Path to an Assassin

I was waiting for you. Thank you for coming. It seems, one of our holy relics, Shilen's tears was recently stolen. I was on my way back from a pilgrimage in the north when I was attacked by a band of thieves...

I am afraid the tetrarchs will be furious, and I have not been able to return to the village for fear of them. They will not forgive me if they know that the holy relic was stolen. Please recover the stolen Shilen's tears before the tetrarchs find out. Please help me...

Leave it to me! I will find it without fail.

How can you be of our race and not know about Shilen's tears? How could that be?

When the solar eclipse occurs every thirty years, we Dark Elves perform sacrificial rites to the goddess Shilen, praying for abundance and prosperity. At that time each year, red dew drops form mysteriously on the pillars of the temple. We call that dew Shilen's tears. Shilen's tears are normally red, but when a threat to our race looms, they turn black. The tears are precious, for the whole fate of our race is tied to them.

Thank you. I have asked about the whereabouts of the thieves and have some intelligence. The most reliable information is kept by a Human by the name of Leikan. He works as a guard in the village of Gludin Village

It seems that the Human Traders of his village have been robbed many times by those thieves as well. I heard that Leikan is investigating the thieves. Take this letter and go to him. Please hurry.

I understand. I suppose I will have to find someone else...

Ah, you have finally found Shilen's tears. Thank you. I truly thank you. In return, I will write you a recommendation to become an Assassin. Show this to Triskel in the village of Gludio Castle

The thieves that stole your race's treasures? Ah ... I do know roughly where they live, but ... I could tell you, but there is one condition. If you accept one request, I will give you information on the thieves.

Please don't think I am stingy. A man must do something to survive. Nothing is free in this world. There is an ancient saying that you go bald if you take things for free. Ha ha ha ...

Actually, I recently boasted to my colleagues that I was attacked by moonstone beasts while returning from The Dark Forest, and that I killed several. My colleagues didn't believe me and asked to see proof. This put me in a rather ... awkward position.

So you see, I need ten moonstone beast molars. Please get some for me. You can easily find moonstone beasts north of here in the Neutral Zone.

Take this memo. It is a simple contract stating our agreement. Remember, you must bring back ten moonstone beast molars and then I will give you information.

If you don't want to grant my request, I cannot give you information on the thieves. I don't do business that doesn't earn a reasonable profit.

Oh, great! Thank you for your trouble. Now I will tell you about the thieves.

The ringleader is an Orc Village named Calpico. The fellow is very elusive, so you never know when he will show up or where, but a few days ago a report said that he was seen near the School of Dark Arts in The Dark Forest. If you search in the vicinity of the School of Dark Arts, you will be able to find the scoundrel's hiding place.

I don't know why Calpico would steal holy articles from the Dark Elves ... I'm sure there is someone else behind it, don't you think?

You have recovered Shilen's tears. How could someone take such little care of such a valuable holy relic ... Tsk tsk ...

If you take that to Arkenia, she will be pleased. Give her my regards!

O ho, your skills are quite good! So, you received the acknowledgement of Arkenia. Indeed, I have keen insight when it comes to seeing potential.

Now take this iron heart and go to a Grand Master of the Dark Elven Village guild, who will give you what you want. The nearest choice would be to go to Grand Master Tobias of our village's Dark Elven Village Guild.
