SC_425577_TALK_01Since you are so insistent, we will be accomplices from now on. Let me make formal introductions. I am [121323|Dirk Grether]. He is [121320|Wollie Wesst]. What is your name?
SC_425577_TALK_02Call me [$playername].
SC_425577_TALK_03Ok, [$playername]. Let me first explain how I ended up frozen in prison. It's all because of Icesteel, that special metal that the Korum use. It's mined at [ZONE_EAST_MERDIN_TUNDRA|Soyar Lake]. It's about the same strength as iron, but of course it wouldn't be so rare if that was all there is to it. More importantly, Icesteel is imbued with elemental power! The freezing frost power that emits from the metal erodes and freezes any living thing that comes in direct contact with it. This freezing... is just like the state I was just in. It would have been a disaster if even just a little bit more time passed.
SC_425577_TALK_04You snuck into the castle to find out about Icesteel?
SC_425577_TALK_05That's right! Wollie's and my original plan was to go to [ZONE_KORM_DOME|Korum Dome] to investigate how the Korum fashioned their Icesteel weapons. From our previous experiments, we discovered that when Icesteel was heated to be smelted in a normal fashion, it lost its elemental power. Thus, the weapons must be made with a special smelting technique. \n\nI've always had an inquisitive spirit, so I decided that I must find out how the Korum use Icesteel in their daily lives. That is why Wollie and I snuck into the castle! This should have been a piece of cake for us. We have snuck into many dangerous places before to conduct our research and we've never had any problems.
SC_425577_TALK_06I heard that you left your team on the way?
SC_425577_TALK_07I wanted to talk about that now. Once I discovered the mysterious things the Korum were doing, I decided to change my objective. After all, Wollie could have handled the original task. \n\nAnyway, I saw the Korum in a room refining the Icesteel with a very special process. They condensed the material into what they call "Ice Matter." It seems that this is another reason why they make the Icesteel into weapons. I say this because you can't compare their refining abilities. You'd understand if you saw them. Ice Matter is very important... or it is something very special. \n\nWhen the Korum looked away, I couldn't wait and stole a bit of it. That is when they caught me. I guess my willpower isn't mature yet. I was so entranced by the beauty of the Ice Matter that I forgot about the dangers near me. I tried to throw away the Ice Matter, hoping that it would distract them so I could escape, but I panicked and accidentally let it touch my skin. That's how I... well you know.
SC_425577_TALK_08I think you must have learned your lesson.
SC_425577_TALK_09Can you explain it again from the beginning?
Sys425577_nameCauses and Effects
Sys425577_szquest_accept_detailThis isn't a very long story, but I need a bit of time to tell it. I'm not even sure if you want to understand it, Knight. Of course I'm very grateful that you saved me, but are you sure that you want to get involved with our dangerous situation? A high-ranking knight like you probably has an unshakable sense of responsibility. Working hard to always comply with orders from above, every knight has a sense of perfectionism. It would be better if you didn't listen to the crazy things that we want to do if you aren't able to help us. This way you won't have to sever connections completely. \n\nI don't want to put my savior in jeopardy with his superiors. After all, you don't really know anything about the situation. All you did was save a poor researcher... At least, that's how it is at this point. \n\nI'll describe my analysis to you and you can decide from there, Master Knight.
Sys425577_szquest_complete_detailThis is what happened: We're not doing anything bad, but the Alliance can't be bothered to look after the safety of the researchers. It also can't satisfy everybody's curiosity. \n\nI can imagine how the Alliance would react if they found out about us. They'd complain that we are so much trouble and just make more work for them. I also know that someone would criticize us for doing pointless research... It doesn't matter. Once we fully analyze the special properties and uses of the Ice Matter then they won't have any case against us.
Sys425577_szquest_descSpeak with [121323|Dirk Grether] and learn about what happened.
Sys425577_szquest_uncomplete_detailKnight, we are all waiting for you.
