That item...

That shining item you're carrying, isn't that...? Stamp of Muriniel?! Oh! What a surprise!

I've heard that it's from a hot and dry land, but I never dreamed I'd be able to see it with my own eyes!

Who are you...? Who are you carrying this legendary item for?

...I can't believe my eyes! Only a chosen few can possess the Stamp of Muriniel...

Oh yes. That's right, that's right. As far as I can tell, you don't seem to understand how to use this item...

There is one old song in Juno, about 'The Doomed Sword' that you may have been looking for.

'Even if you're running toward a light on the other side of the mist, you can't reach it.'

'The chime of the bell from across the valley cannot be held in your hand.'

Yes, it's sort of a difficult song to understand, but it's supposed to express how Sages in ancient times feel about obtaining the doomed swords.

If you're still set on the idea of obtaining the doomed sword, come and talk to me sometime.

As you already possess the Stamp of Muriniel, I am more than willing to help you.

Hmm?

A genius you say? How can you say that in a city full of wise men? That's nothing special.

Plus, if you're a colleague, I think I would remember you. I don't tend to forget people that I've met at least once.

A...

GM?

I don't understand what you're talking about. But there's an ancient Juno song about this GM you speak of...

'Impersonating GMs is punishable with a permanent account block.' But what could it possibly mean?

How depressing!

Hmm! Good job, you brought all of the items. Try inserting them in the grooves.

To be honest, I thought about it before, but this is the first time that I'll actually try this experiment. Go ahead, I want to see what happens!

You inserted items

in the grooves .

*Crank Crank*

You hear a strange sound come from inside the statue.

*Click*

*Click Click*

A small hole opened near the foot of the statue, and a Stamp of Muriniel came out of the hole.

You got A piece from the Stamp of Muriniel.

Huh?! That piece seems to fit to the stamp you have. Why don't you try joining them together?

You join the two stamps together.

You got the

True Stamp of Muriniel.

Oh? This pattern is...!! Ah, now I see how it works. Now, please listen...

I'd like you to bring the slate to Snotora, the island of knowledge, that is a part of Juno. You will find a Statue of the Goddess Snotora somewhere on the island.

Near the statue, you will find Syklah, one of well-known 3 sages in Juno. Speak to him, he will tell you something about the pattern on the slate.

May God

light your way...

Let me tell you everything I know about the doomed sword. There's an old song about the legendary doomed sword...

You, the one with sincere faith, who humbly accepts the prosperity of Mineta, the knowledge of Snotora and the honor of Solomon...

I hereby grant you this column of light. The Three Sages of Juno will be your guide.

Well, if you already know a little bit about Juno, you'd know that Juno consists of 3 islands that represent propsperity, knowledge and honor.

The 3 sages described in the song represent each island. By now, you've probably guessed that I am one of them.

There is a Juno tradition in which the three best Sages are chosen to represent each of Juno's islands.

As one of the three, I will serve as one of your guides in this part of your journey for the doomed sword.

Yklah pointed at a pole of the statue with his finger, and you see that there is a strange pattern engraved on the pole.

Now, look at this. This statue was erected to pay tribute to one of the first 3 sages. When you look into the bottom of the pole, you will see several small grooves.

If you insert some items in the grooves, we may get some more clues relating to the doomed sword.

From the stories that I've been told by great Sages, I've figured exactly which items you'll need to place into those grooves.

You will need...

3 Claw of Desert Wolf

10 Tooth of Bat

1 Piece of Egg Shell.

Return once you have obtained those items, and we will speak of the doomed sword again.

For your information, you can obtain the claw of desert wolf from the Morocc desert, and the tooth of bat can be found in most caves around the world.

Lastly, the piece of egg shell can be found from solid egg monsters in the Payon cave.

Juphero...

That was the name of the city that once existed in ancient times.

The most intelligent and talented people of that time lived there, harnessing the pieces of Ymir's heart to power their civilization.

Unfortunately, they happened to abuse that great power and somehow destroyed themselves.

If you long to acquire God's knowledge, you must first be humble. Otherwise...
