Middle-Aged Man

[Middle-Aged Man]

It's been a while since

someone has come this

way. Not too many people

pass by here, so I rarely

receive visitors. Why don't

you relax and chat for a while?

[

What are you doing out

here in this secluded

area? You don't have

to work here, do you?

Well, just managing this

summer house gets me

enough income to get by.

Ah, I also craft various

things as sort of a hobby.

Yeap, when I was younger,

I had my own forge in town.

It was a good family business,

and all of my siblings ended up

making wares for town lords

and even the royal family.

But then, the accident

happened, and we had

to close shop. Well, that's

my story. Not a very happy

one, I gu ess, but otherwise

I've lived a long, good life.

Now what exactly

brings you here?

Are you just exploring

the land, or are you

hunting monsters, or...?

Actually, um,

I was led here by

this thing. It's called

the Seal of Muriniel.

Oh... Oh my.

Let me see that.

Oh, yes. This is the

real thing. So... It's

finally found me. Well,

I guess I'm at your service.

My name is Walker, and

my brothers and I were the 3

most talented blacksmiths

in Juno. Seeing as you've

been chosen by fate, we'll all

help you obtain a doomed sword.

[Walker]

First of all, the doomed

swords are sealed in magic

scrolls as pentagrams. When

their true owners appear, they

can be released by using

Muriniel's Seal.

Now, for my part in unsealing

the doomed swords, I'll need

the highest quality materials.

Give me a few minutes and

I'll let you know what you

need to bring to me.

Now, I should let you

know that I can only form

a portion of the pentagram

that will release one of the

doomed swords. You need my

brothers' help to complete it.

Once the pentagram

is complete and activated,

you will unseal the doomed

sword that is best suited to

you. I'm sorry, but I have no

way to predict what it may be.

For now, you must take

the first step and bring

me the following items.

Make sure to take note

of what I will require...

I will need

1 Emperium,

3 Tentacles,

25 Amulets,

1 Coal, and

1 Necklace of Oblivion.

Ah, very good.

You've brought

everything I need.

Now, please wait for

a moment while I finish

the preparations...

Hmm...? You still

haven't brought me

everything I need to

begin the doomed sword

pentagram. Let me remind you

which materials to get for me.

Ah, you're back.

I managed to finish this

sooner than I expected since

you gave me materials of

exceptionally good quality.

Back when I was 15, my other

two brothers were taught by

Dwarves to create the pentragram that will release a doomed sword.

However, they taught each of us different parts of the pentagram.

I guess the Dwarves split

up our knowledge because

they wanted to prolong the

return of the Executioner

sword within our generation.

Originally, Executioner

was one of three swords

that the Dwarves were

ordered to forge for an evil

organization in exchange

for their village's safety.

Despite their incredible

forging skills, the Dwarves

had difficulty procuring the

rare materials required to

forge the weapons within

the 15 day deadline.

Desperate for help, the

Dwarves traveled to meet

my father, a renown smith

and adventurer at the time. He

was sympathetic to their plight

and gave them what they needed.

In gratitude for my father's

help, the Dwarves taught my

brothers how to create the

doomed sword pentagram,

but we could only complete

it if we all worked together.

Sadly, I heard that the evil

organization that forced the

Dwarves to forge the swords

killed them when they refused

to give up their forging secrets.

However, the Dwarves could

not reveal that the Executioner

was enchanted with a terrible

curse powered by the Dwarves'

hatred which threatens the life

of Executioner's wielder.

Oh, don't worry too much.

If you happen to obtain the

Executioner, the seal should

have weakened the curse

enough so that it won't kill

you that quickly. Well, then...

You should visit my brother

Morf for the next part of the

doomed sword pentagram.

Morf should be easy to find,

as he's usually drinking

all day in Payon's tavern.

Please, take this scroll

with the pentagram with you,

and give my regards to Morf

once you see him. If you do

succeed in obtaining a doomed sword, use its power responsibly.

Look for my older

brother Morf in the

tavern in Payon-- He's

always drinking over there.

Hopefully, he'll help you finish the doomed sword pentagram.

Ah, so you've

already met with

Morf? When you get

the chance, please give

him my regards and let

him know that I'm doing well.

So how has Morf been?

I know he's eccentric, and

perhaps a little rude, but

he's really a very good man.

It's good that Morf

was able to help you.

As for our younger brother,

Huey, I haven't heard from

him in a while. I think he's

travelling around in Morocc?

I trust that Huey

is taking good care

of himself. If you happen

to see him again, would

you ask him to come visit

me one of these days?

Oh! You've completed

the pentagram and come

into possession of one of

the doomed swords? I'm

glad to hear it. If Father were

alive, he would be so proud.

to rest and relax a while~
