Lockenlock

It's a drunkard...

The scent of pure

alcohol wafts around him.

There's a certain beauty

to his disheveled misery.

[

Excuse me...?

[Locksmith Lockenlock]

Huh? Arrrgh...

My head... What

do you want?

Oh, I'd like

to make a key.

Keys? Yeah, yeah...

That's what I do.

If you've got the lock,

it'll be a piece of cake.

Ugh, but I'm so thirsty

and this headache is

killing me. You mind

bringing me a Yellow

Potion first?

Sure, I guess.

I can part with just

1 Yellow Potion.

Here you go.

Ah, that hit the spot!

Wait, wait... Now I feel

dizzy... What's going...

What's going on...?

Okay, okay...

I'm alright now.

So what'd you say you

needed? A key? Did you

bring the lock with you?

I'm an expert in crafting

keys and locks. Hell, my locks

are strong enough to hold down

a dragon, you know that? I'll

have you know that the Rachel

Army's a regular customer~

(This guy made locks for

the Rachel army?! It might

not be a good idea to let him

know that I'm trying to free

one of their prisoners. Who

knows if he's loyal to them?)

So what happened was...

I lost my key, but I can't

bring the lock here with me.

I think I'd end up breaking

it if I brought it with me.

Oh, yeah? No problem.

Just take me to the lock.

I'll charge you extra, though,

especially since my knees

are going bad. So where

are we going exactly?

Wait!

We can't do that!

What do you mean?

You're not trying to

open up a bank safe

or something, are you?

No, it's nothing like

that! It's just that the lock

is in a dangerous place.

This is really important...

Please, you have to help me!

Huh. Well, bottom line,

I can't make a key without

looking at the lock. Let me

think of a way I can help you.

Give me a second, will you?

...............................

Well, I guess you can try

to make a mold of the lock.

It'll have to be perfect, so

this'll get pretty expensive.

Go to the market and

find a lady selling organic

soap. You need to get a bottle

of Chamelepu Soap. You will

need that exact type of soap:

nothing else will do.

Chamelpu Soap?

What is th--

No time to explain.

You'd better hurry and

find her before she closes

shop for the day. The shop

owner's a beauty, so it'll

be tough for you to miss her.

...........

This man must be the

Mr. Lockenlock that you seek.

You'd better follow Toby's

advice and bring this man

a Yellow Potion first.

soap, and get a bottle of

Chamelepu Soap. You will

Wait... I should be

bringing Ms. Ivory all

of the soap ingredients.

What were they again...?

10 Milk,

100 Green Herbs,

50 Jellopies, and

5 Empty Bottles.

I better get those...

I need to talk to

someone named Saraman

to get the soap ingredients...

Let's see...

I need to bring

Mr. Saruman all the

things he needs to

stimulate a camel's

appetite. I need to get...

1 Unripe Apple,

5 Monster's Feed,

1 Empty Bottle, and

I have everything I need

to stimulate a camel's

appetite. Now I need to

feed the camel so that I can

get the soap ingredients and

5 lumps of camel dung.

Right now, my time

would be better spent

looking for the Silk Sand

Camel for the ingredients.

I'd better find Mr. Saraman's

lost camel, feed it camel

appetite stimulants, and

then get the soap ingredient

and 5 lumps of camel dung

if I want to free Curdie.

Well... I found the

camel. Now I need to get

all the soap ingredients.

The sooner I do that, the

sooner I can help Curdie.

You already found the

camel, so you need to collect

the soap ingredients if you

want to free Curdie.

I managed to get the soap

ingredients: 5 of those

camel dung lumps. I should

head back to Mr. Saraman to

tell him where his camel is,

and then go to Ms. Ivory.

Shouldn't I be going

to see Ms. Ivory now?

Oh, so you're finally

back with the Chamelpu

Soap. What took so long?

All you had to do was go

to the market and buy it.

Uh, anyway, did Ms. Ivory

tell you how to use the soap?

You just pour it into the

keyhole, and then pour the

soap back into the bottle.

Do it carefully and quickly.

Make sure you close the

bottle tightly when you're

done so no air gets into it.

If you take more than thirty

seconds, the soap won't retain

the lock's shape very well.

Pour the liquid soap to the key hole in the lock,

pour the soap back to the bottle.

and close the lid so tightly that the air wouldn't go inside the bottle.

Remember, you can't take longer than 30 seconds to finish the procedures.

Finally, bring the bottle

back here for me so that

I can make the key. But when

you come back, I need to make

sure that the key you're making

isn't for anything illegal...

Alright.

I'd better use the soap to

make a key mold that I can

bring over to Mr. Lockenlock.

Oh, you're back...

So did you manage

to make the key mold?

Yes, I did. Would you

please hurry? This is an

emergency, and it could

get really bad if I don't

get this key made soon...

Let me see... Well,

it's not really perfect, but

I should be able to fashion

a key for this lock. Ooh...

But you know what? I don't

have any materials on me.

I've already made all

the keys and locks for this

town, so no one's really had

to send in any orders lately.

That's why I didn't have any

materials onhand. Sorry.

All I need is 1 Steel.

It won't take me more

than five minutes to make

the key, so I can get it done

as soon as you can bring

me the Steel. I'll be waiting.

Here's the Steel that

you need. Would you

please make the key now?

I've been studying

this key mold, and

I just realized something...

Tell me right now: what

are you using this key for?

Huh...?

What are you...?

I asked you first.

Tell me what you intend

to do with this key! If you

don't, I can't help you.

Don't lie to me.

This mold... This is

the lock for the shackles

that I've made under the

orders of the Rachel Army.

I have the master key for that.

These shackles are only

supposed to be used for

prisoners! If I release one

of them, they will hunt you

down and hold me accountable.

The truth is... I really

am trying to free somebody

the Rachel Army imprisoned...

She's Curdie, a young girl

that they locked up in

Thor Volcano...

What...?!

Are you serious?

Y-you're... No way.

You're not lying. This...

I'm sorry. You shouldn't

have gotten involved, but...

Oh God!

They... They

really imprisoned

an innocent child?!

Here. Take it.

Take the master key.

Bring it to Thor Volcano

and rescue that poor kid.

We could get in a lot of

trouble for doing this, but...

My conscience won't allow

them to do something like

this. Rescue that kid, and

then throw the key away

somewhere when you're done.

That way, if the army

comes to interrogate me,

I'll just say that it was

stolen from my shop by

some thief. I should get

rid of all my keys too...

Hurry up and go!

Make sure that you

bring that child back

safe to her family!

Hey, that kid you saved...

Curdie. She's safely back

in town. I feel so responsible

about what happened. I mean,

she was locked up in shackles

that I designed for the army.

Anyway, I'm packing my

things. I'm thinking of

leaving this town for good.

The army's rotten to the core

for doing something like this.

You're a real good person,

and I'm glad I got to know

you. I don't know if we'll

ever meet again, but it's

good that there are people

like you in this world.

Zzzz...

Zzzz... Argh!

He's drunk and

fast asleep.
