The Blacksmith

[The Blacksmith]

Why are you carrying that much?

Are you training for something?

Bahaha~

Good weather! Eh?

Perfect for a picnic.

But, I've heard that some people have become lost in the forest on the island near this village. What's going on?

[

Excuse me, have you heard of a keymaker who knows how to make a 'Golden Key'?

Hmm, are you an adventurer? Who told you about the 'Golden Key'?

Ah, in fact...

- You tell him about -

- Maria Morebna -

- and Gray Wolf -

Well, then... The keymaker for the 'Golden Key'.

You are very lucky to have asked me about this.

W, what do you mean...?

I'm the only one in this town that knows what materials are needed to make the 'Golden Key'! Bahaha!

I guess you think that getting the materials will be easy huh?

Hey I didn't say...

Bahahaha~

It will take a lot of work.

A long journey awaits you

If you choose to take it.

Your boots will be worn

out after this journey.

What do you think?

Would you like to try?

Of course! I have to help Maria!

Bahaha! I like you!

Ok, first, bring me 25 Steel. I'm not going anywhere so come back here when you have them.

Ok so that's the first thing you need for the 'Golden Key' right?

I promise you, I'll explain when you bring the 25 Steel to me. Please just get the Steel and come back.

Ohhh, that was faster than I expected!

Ok then, wait here.

- He melts the steel -

- and begins to forge -

- it into something !! -

Bahaha~, it's not my

best work, but it'll do.

Here ya go!

Ah?! This is?!!

Strong Steel Boots!

The Golden!!.........................

....................Eh, what?

Bahaha~ Didn't I tell you? A long journey awaits you. These boots will help you on your long journey.

When they have worn out, you will know that your journey is near it's end.

You must always wear these boots while gathering the materials for the 'Golden Key'.

Ok, I'll tell you what materials you need to get. I can make the key anytime if you get them to me.

You need 2 Cursed Ruby, 3 Gold, 1 Red Ring, 2 Lusalka's Hair, 10 Golden Thread to make the key.

Well, you know what to do now. I will be waiting here.

And don't forget to wear these!

What are you doing? First, you must get me 25 Steel.

The faster you get me the materials, The faster you can help Maria Morebna.

...Hmm, did I forget to wear something...?

So, you got all the materials. I can't believe it.

You did your best until your boots were worn out, didn't you?

Yes, you know, it's not very comfortable walking around in Steel boots all day!

Bahaha~ Ok, well done.

Well.. While you were looking for the materials, I was searching for the keymaker who can make the key!

I thought you said that you knew how to make the key?

Hmm... Well I know the materials. And I know who makes the key. So I will tell you where to find the keymaker. Is that ok?

Of course! I have to know where this person is.

Ok, listen carefully. The Keymaker is at a cabin deep inside of the forest.

Ah, wait. Take off your armor. I need to cast a protection spell on you, ok? Hey, don't get the wrong idea. This is just a simple protection spell!

Bah ram y--- wait that's uh something else...

'Spellshield Protection.

This spell protects you from any curse the keymaker might try to use. Remember the words of the spell. It won't last very long because I am just a blacksmith.

The forest is dangerous. Be very careful in there!

Ah, and your steel boots..?

Where are they?

Ah and you shouldn't be needing those Steel Boots anymore. Good luck!

The Red Ring has powerful enchanting powers. I had one before, but I gave it to my friend, Vassili, as a gift.

I think it would be odd to ask him to give it back to me. So uh you've got to ask him if he would give it to you.

It's said that a bride who drowns to death just before her wedding becomes Lusalka, the aqua fairy.

You must find Lusalka's hair.

I heard that a young maid has been lost recently.

It's very unfortunate but...

she might be Lusalka...

Her mother is somewhere in this village asking for people to help her find her missing daughter.

Golden Thread is made from gold by using a special spinning wheel technique. I don't know exactly how it's done. But I know who does.

Find a man named Marozka. He is the only one who knows how to use the spinning wheel to make the Golden Thread.

Maria should know where he is.

Ah, and... You still have the boots that I made right? Without them, you cannot get anything for the key, I swear. You must put on them.

The keymaker is at a cabin deep inside of the forest.

This person is no ordinary person. It is said that you can be cursed by the keymaker's words.

Don't forget the spell, 'Spellshield Protection.'

He is in his cabin deep inside of the forest. There, the keymaker of the Golden Key is living.

The Golden Key is able to release Maria. Good luck!

I heard the news. You have done well.

Ah, the person living around that cabin wants you to see her. She seems to have something to tell you.
