Bazo

Wait a second! Right now, you're carrying too many items with you. Please come back after putting some of your things into Kafra Storage.

[Bazo]

Hello...

Not from around

here, are you?

My name is Bazo Heburiech. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. As you can see, I'm also not from around here either. I feel as if... We were meant to meet.

If you don't mind, let me tell you a little about this place. When I first got here, I could tell there was something different about

this village.

For one thing, Umbala is close

to Niflheim, realm of the dead. Because it's so near, some of the people here can actually draw evil power from that realm.

Don't worry, the locals here only use this power to produce specialty items. During my stay here, I too have learned some of those crafting methods.

If you like, I'd be willing to show you my skills. Now how does that sound?

Hmm. For now, you should level

up and get stronger first. Please understand that I mean well when I say that I don't think you're quite ready for my goods.

Like I said before, these

goods have some evil power. If you're not strong or experienced enough, you'd be driven insane.

Once you're ready,

I'll gladly make you

something great~

Excellent! Let me tell you what materials I'll need. There's not that many, but you might want to write them down.

First, I'll need

some basic materials.

10 Gold,

50 Steel and

10 Emperium.

Then, I'll need some rare ore to enchant this product. The product's trait will depend on the ore that you use.

Please bring me 30 of either Citrin, Turquoise or Agate. Well then, I wish you luck in finding those things and I'll be waiting for you~

Oh, okay.

That's fine with me.

But I'll be right here if you

ever change your mind.

Hmm...

I sense something different about you. I can't quite describe it, but I get the distince feeling that there's nothing I can do for you.

In any case, I wish you safety in your travels, adventurer.

Great...!

Now, let's do this!

Oh, and you should know

now that I can't tell what kind of thing we might get. But let's hope that it'll be good.

You feel a mysterious energy gathering around the materials

and the air around them begins to crackle. It seems as if the materials were absorbing

all of the ambient energy.

Without any discernable action from Bazo, the materials began to fuse into each other.

Can you feel that? The materials are now gathering power on their own. It's out of my hands now. All we can do now is wait and pray.

The materials finish melding

and the air grows calm.

Ooooooh! It's done!

We've succeeded! Ah,

this is amazing! Our prayers

must have been answered!

It looks like all those materials turned into some kind of weapon. That ought to be quite useful to you. Now let's see...

Immaterial Sword!

This sword was born to be yours!

Congratulations and hopefully it will be useful to you.

Slash!

This mace was born to be yours!

Quadrille!

Ah, I'm very satisfied with these results. If you wish to have another one, please feel free to visit me anytime. Alright then, enjoy your travels~

Okay, it seems like you're

ready so let's get started. Now, my favorite monsters are Poring, Hode, Obeaune and Minorous.

Here's the first question.

What monster am I thinking

of right now?

Alright...

Now guess which monster

I'm thinking about right... Now!

Now what monster

am I thinking about?

Which monster am

I thinking about right now?

Okay, one last time.

Guess which monster I'm

thinking about right now.

Okay, let me give you the answers for the questions in the order I was thinking. Now, it might seem like I'm making them up right now, but I'm not. We gotta trust each other on this.

Poring

Hode

Obeaune

Minorous

You got the right answer

Huh. You must not be able to

read minds, or you've got really bad luck. Either way, we can't try this until we drive away the ill fortune around you.

Hm, we need at least

10

again, so go ahead

and give me that.

Well, if you want to try this mind reading game again, just come

back with the materials. I'll be waiting to gauge your luck.

Hmm. Something doesn't

feel right. We must be missing

something. Would you check the

materials you've brought again?

Oh, you've brought all the basic materials. Now, let me check to see if you brought any of the rare ores I asked for...

Hahaha, I asked you to

bring one kind of ore, not all of them. So which one would you

like to use?

bring one kind of ore, not

two. So which one would

you like to use?

Alright then. Before we start, we must first test your luck. As you may have guessed, item crafting in Umbala is a very delicate process.

But if we do this during a time when your luck is high, we'll have a good chance of succeeding in creating something great. That makes sense, right?

Now, we'll test your luck by playing a simple mind reading

game. I'll think of a specific monster, and you'll have to

guess what it is from among

my favorites.

I'll give you five different chances, and if you can guess right once, we'll go ahead and craft the item. But if you get all of them wrong, we've got to drive away all the bad luck!

In order to drive away ill fortune, I'll be taking 10 of the special ore you've brought along. I know it sounds bad, but it's a lot better than losing 30 ores if we failed to create the item, right?

Okay, now I need

some time to preprare...

Talk to you later!

Please bring me 30 Citrin, Turquoise or Agate. You must

have forgotten to bring any of those, so please go back and get them so we can begin.

If you'd like me to make you one of Umbala's specialty items, I'll need you to bring me some stuff so I can craft it for you.
