Well, do you want the power of the Dark Wizard that commands spirits?
Player choice:
You do not have enough experience to become a Dark Wizard. Your level must be at least 20 to earn the qualifications for the power of the Dark Wizard.
It seems that ... You already have the power of a Dark Wizard ... I cannot help you. Please research power of a higher level.
You are already walking another path. You are not eligible to take the test to become a Dark Wizard.
I see you already have the
jewel of darkness. That means you are qualified to become a Dark Wizard. Take the jewel and go to a Grand Master of the Dark Elven Village guild in Gludio Castle Town
The closest is the village of Gludin Village. Follow the road and continue on south. Go to the Dark Elven Village guild there and meet Grand Master
Xenos. He will change your profession to Dark Wizard.
Dark Wizards can control the power of nature and perform powerful magic. But you should be aware of the origin of power that enables magic.
Long ago, our mother Shilen was insulted by Einhasad and betrayed by the Elves when they began to serve Eva. Since then, the origin of our power is darkness, like our mother Shilen. Dark power consists of four factors -- anger, despair, horror and lunacy. You can qualify to become a Dark Wizard only if you collect the four seeds that symbolize these things.
Here, take this. This is the seed of despair. Take this and find the remaining seeds. Now, which one should I explain first?
Player choices:
Please go into the School of Dark Arts and find me two knee bones of the undead. You can find them by killing
skeleton hunters,
skeleton hunter archers, or misery skeletons.
I will give you this candle. If you are trapped in a dark corridor in the ruins, you may need it.
Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I can safely complete my training. Soon, I will earn the qualifications to become a sentry. When I do, my friends won't laugh at me anymore.
I give you this in thanks for helping me. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it is definitely very precious. It looks like a seed or something... It looks quite marvelous, I've never seen anything like it before. I found it in the nearby woods a few days ago.
The Dark Forest is peaceful and orderly, but Gludio Castle Town is not like that. The wounds of war still run red in that place. A Sorcerer in the past went mad, and did things that should not have been done.
He made live Humans the subjects of his experiments. After the experiments, they were no longer Humans. The scientist turned them into skeletons, you see. Kill the
skeleton scouts in the Ruins of Despair in Gludio Castle Town and find the
heart of lunacy, left by that Sorcerer whose lunacy created the evil.
Here is a perfume made from crushed herbs, it will defend your mind from the curse of that madness.
You have found the
heart of lunacy. This must be handled very carefully. If you are careless, it will burst. This heart is an important ingredient in the making of medicine. This much will make a lot of medicine.
If you dry one of these hearts, it will become a seed of lunacy. Since you found all the hearts, I will give you the seeds of lunacy as a reward. If you carry this with you, you will not be tormented by evil creatures.
My family ... We built a house near the waterfall and lived happily, tending our fields. Then suddenly, one day, an Elven Village militia corps showed up and threatened us, but we didn't pay much attention because we though it was just the normal harassment. But the day I went up to repair the roof for the rainy season, they swarmed into the house and killed my entire family ...
I was a powerless coward, and I held my breath on the roof and just watched. As my family was killed one by one in front of my eyes, I pressed myself close to the roof so that I would not be seen, and did nothing to save them until they were all dead ...
What sins did I commit for my family to be murdered! I will take revenge on those Elves by doing exactly what they did! I will make them understand how it feels to be able to do nothing while your loved ones die in front of your eyes! Ahh ... My family ...
Could you do me a favor? It's nothing difficult...
Player choice:
Those wretched murderers threw the corpses of my family in the marsh, but I can't bear to go there to search. If I could devour those murderers like a wild beast, it still wouldn't satisfy my hunger for revenge! Please find the bodies of my parents and younger sister. I beg you. The zombies of the wood Elves have probably torn up the corpses. Kill the wood elf zombies and bring back the three remains, please.
This key was given to me by my parents as a gift. It is supposed to bring good luck. Carry this with you.
Ahh ... You have found the remains of my family ... How can I ever thank you ... I will never forget your kind heart. I promise I will pay you back once I finish my revenge.
Argh ... My heart suddenly ... Ugh ... I feel nauseous. What is this? Is this a seed? I will give this to you. Now ... My heart feels so much lighter. I will not forget your kindness. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. I do not have anything now so I cannot give you anything in return. I will honor you for your kindness for the rest of my life.
Are you trying to trick me? Others may be easily fooled, but it will not be easy to fool me. I see you already have the seed of anger. Go find the remaining seeds.
Go to the waterfall that is north of The Neutral Zone and northeast of here. There, you will feel a tremendous force of anger. I have foreseen that the one emitting the anger is a young Dark Elven Village youth by the name of
Charkeren Bring the seed of anger planted in his heart.
None are as weak as an opponent that has fear in his heart. I see you have the seed of horror. Did you collect all the other seeds?
I sense that someone is trembling in fear. It seems to be near the School of Dark Arts. Search thoroughly near the entrance of the School of Dark Arts. She seems like a veryattractive young woman. Listen to her tale and erase her horror.
You are quite an amusing person. If you already have the seed of lunacy, why have you come to find it again? Go gather the seeds that you do not have yet.
So you have finally collected all the seeds of anger, despair, horror and lunacy. Now do you know the source of our power? There is no need to be afraid. All you have to do is control these by your will.
Emotion is important when dealing with nature's elementals. Don't forget that emotion is the source of power. Since you have gathered all the seeds needed to become a Dark Wizard, I will give you a token. Take this token to the Grand Master of the Dark Elven Village Guild and you can become a Dark Wizard.
The nearest village where Dark Elves reside is the village of Gludin Village. Go and seek Grand Master
Xenos there. He will change your profession to a Dark Wizard. Well then my brother, may the divine protection of Shilen be with you.
The finest Wizards of the Dark Elven Village race used to study black magic here a long time ago. But this place has since been abandoned and is now in ruins. Can't you feel the spirit of evil inside? The accumulated dark magic is so strong, even a Fighter like myself can feel its power.
I am training to become a sentry. The training course involves exploring the School of Dark Arts here. However, whenever I go into dark and closed spaces, I cannot breathe. Just the thought of going into that place steals my breath. I beg you... Please help me complete my training.
Player choice:
Kill the
skeleton scouts that appear in the
Who are you? I curse everything in this world! Just leave me alone!
Ah ... What good is it to be the only one alive? If the gods asked me what to do with the world, I'd ask them to destroy it right away! What good is it to live in a world like this ...
Player choice:
I didn't think it would be easy to find all the remains of my family ... I know the marsh is quite large ...
They say that the wood elf zombies love dead bodies, so I'm sure they have scattered the corpses of my family. I do not care how long it takes. Please find their remains. Please, I beg you.
