[Ibrahim]

You're carrying too much

stuff with you. Dump it

in Kafra Storge, sell it,

drop it, whatever, before

you come talk to me, okay?

Have you heard of the

Four Cursed Jewels?

I hear that one of them,

the Diamond of Destruction,

just appeared recently.

What I'd do to find it...

Don't be too suprised.

I've heard of you here

and there. Heh heh~!

I wanted to ask you about

the Four Cursed Jewels.

All the merchants in the

area are talking about them.

Anyway, I was able to obtain

the Diamond of Destruction!

[

(Hmm... He might

be talking about that

jewel Muff gave to Belder

as collateral for his debt.)

I paid a hefty sum for it,

but then I lost it after

just a few days. I kept it

under high security, but

that didn't stop the thief...

It's a risky job, but

I want to employ you to

find where my diamond went.

It'd be best if you could get

it back, but I can understand

if you can't. You up for it?

Great! I knew it was

a good idea to find you.

The thief didn't leave any

clues, but he should have

some problems selling the gem.

It's one of a kind, you know.

Visiting the large

jewelry shops in the

Rune-Midgarts Kingdom

would be a good start.

Their merchants know the

most about those jewels.

The thief will also have

to sell the jewel to a jeweler

that can afford astronomical

prices. There are three big

locations you should check.

Find Jhonnita in Alberta,

Kimeunbang in Payon, and

Leblo in Geffen. They wanted

that diamond badly too, so

they'll remember if they

heard any clues about it.

Please don't let them

know I've hired you to

investigate that diamond.

They won't speak to you

if they figure out that

I've sent you to them.

Well, I'll be right

here. I hope you come

back with some good news.

Really? I went through

a lot of trouble to find

you, but... I understand.

If you have a change of

heart, I'll be willing to

hire you for your expertise.

So it's true...

People say you're

just a Novice, but

you still help them

out with their problems.

I've got a few buddies

in the Swordman Association.

They dropped your name when

I mentioned I was looking

for someone smart and strong.

Heh, so you really

are one of those holy

knights. I'm glad to

have met you for myself.

I didn't think a member

of the clergy would be so

strong, but you know, your

reputation precedes you.

Hey, if I didn't know

your name, how could I call

myself a Merchant? You set

an example for us all~

We have a mutual friend,

you know that? Aragham

really spoke highly of you.

I know a guy who knows

a guy in the Alchemist Guild.

Around their parts, it sounds

like you're pretty hot stuff.

Magic is totally beyond

my understanding, but

if it gets the job done,

it can't be all bad.

I hear you're really

good at that stuff.

Heh, it sounds like almost

anyone who's anyone in

Morocc knows who you are.

Pleasure to make your

acquaintance~

Anyone who's used

a bow seems to drop

your name when it comes

to accuracy and heroism.

Hard to believe that I'm

actually talking to you~

Is it really true?

I hear you sing

like an angel...

I hear you dance

like the devil...

Me and your old master,

Phoenix, we go way back.

He had nothing but pride

when he talked about you~

I heard your name from

this spiritual message

I got from a dream. That

doesn't sound crazy to

you, does it?

Aren't you the least

bit curious how I know

about you? Wait, come back!

I'm not really that suspicious!

Are you still investigating

the diamond's whereabouts?

Well, I hope you can bring

me back good news soon.

Oh, you're back.

Made any headway in

your investigation of the

Diamond of Destruction?

What?! The Z Gang stole

my diamond? No wonder!

I bet they wanted to use its

curse for something evil.

How about the jewel?

Did you retrieve it?

Oh! Great! So it was

in the Z Gang's hideout?

Wow, even after hearing so

much about you, you still

exceeded my expectations!

Thank God, I finally

have this back! Ah, and

as for your payment...

Well, I don't know if

it's enough for what you

did, but I hope you like it.

Now that I have the

Diamond of Destruction

again, I can research

more about its strange

properties. I'll contact you

again if I need your help.

Ah, I hear from a friend

in Morocc that you happened

to obtain the Unlucky Emerald.

I'm sure it's one of the Four

Cursed Jewels. You wouldn't

mind if I look at it, do you?

No? Well, I'm sure you

have your reasons. Still,

maybe I can learn something

that would benefit both of

us if I examined it.

Ah, I appreciate it!

Now, let's see here...

Yes, judging from its

characteristic shape, this

is the cursed emerald.

Like me, you now possess

one of the Four Cursed Jewels.

Hm? Did you happen to

misplace your emerald?

I mean, it's not with you...

Tell me, what were

you planning to do with

the Unlucky Emerald?

Oh, you weren't going

to keep it? I wish I could

afford to buy it from you...

But I've had enough trouble

buying the Diamond of

Destruction.

You already met several

renown jewelers while

you were looking for the

dimaond. Why don't you ask

them if they'll buy that

Unlucky Emerald from you?

Ah, I applaud your

thirst for knowledge,

your quest to seek truth.

If you really want an expert

to look at the emerald, talk

to this scholar in Comodo.

This man is an antique

appraiser, an specialist in

ancient artifacts and treasure.

I highly recommend consulting

him since he's been invaluable

in my own jewel research.

I heard that you obtained

the Unlucky Emerald from

a friend in Morocc. Let me

warn you that you might not

be strong enough to handle

its power. Be careful.

If you're not wary,

its curse might destroy

you. Understand?

Thank you for all

you've done for me. I'll

continue my research in the

cursed jewel's powers, and

I'll contact you if I need your

help again. Take care~

I don't have the funds

to buy your emerald at

a fair price, but why don't

you ask the other jewelers?

They might be interested

in buying your jewel.

Ah, you're back~

So were you able to

sell the Unlucky Emerald?

Ah, I see now. They

must be too afraid of

that particular jewel's

curse. Huh. Weird.

I guess the Diamond of

Destruction is considered

pretty safe since it's been

around for a while without

any strange incidents.

You just dug up the

emerald? I suppose it

might be too soon to sell it.

Not too many people will

test their luck with that gem,

now that I think about it.

Ah, here's an idea.

Why don't you ask my

scholar friend in Comodo

to examine it? Maybe you

can learn more about the

emerald's so-called curse.

I'll go ahead and send

him a message ahead of

time so that he'll know to

expect your arrival, okay?

Why don't you visit my

scholar friend in Comodo,

and ask him to examine your

Unlucky Emerald? The more

you learn about that so-called

curse, the better. Good luck!

Oh, so what have you

learned about the Unlucky

Emerald so far? Hmmm. Yes,

very intriguing. Good luck

with your research efforts~

Have you heard of

the Four Cursed Jewels?

I wish to retrieve my

Diamond of Destruction,

but whoever has it has

kept it well hidden...

Psst, adventurer!

You're

There's something

I'd like to discuss

with you in private!
