Quest - Noble Shaman's Soul[]
1.The Shaman of the Shrine[]
(Just as Amano said, this sad shaman only looks at me, but never says a word.) (Although she has a youthful face, her sparkling ebony eyes are rather mysterious, and her skin is smooth and beautiful. Anyone who looks upon her cannot help but be filled with joy, and that joy blends together with the beautiful cherry blossoms around her. Although I have not seen her famed dance, I could see why the battle-worn Amano was charmed by her.) ~ (However, I am still a stranger to her. It would be a good idea to give a donation to the shrine before I start talking to her.) (TIP: You should bring her a Pearl.)
Mission: Pearl x45
~
(She gives me a grateful smile as I donate some small treasure.) (I ask her why she is no longer dancing. After a brief moment of thought, the Mute Shaman softly shakes her head.)
Reward:
- Experience: 20,000
- Gold: 35,000
2.The Mute Shaman[]
(My tender words and kind-heartedness eventually break through her fear. Because I am patient with her, she begins to look through her things as if she just thought of something.) ~ (She silently gives me a somber smile, and places in my hands a Worn Gohei. I don't understand the meaning of this, but I deem it wise to deliver this to Amano, given that this is from her.)
Mission: I'f Like to help from Amano
~
Reward:
- Experience: 20,000
- Gold: 35,000
- Item: Worn Gohei x1
3.It's Not Time Yet[]
(She continued to look at me with her mysterious eyes. As our eyes meet, I sense a look of recognition. She remembers me from our last encounter. From time to time, she sighs and looks off into the distance, but when she turns around to see me, a smile plays on her lips.)
~ (However, I am still a stranger to her. It seems like she will open up to me more with a donation to the shrine.) (TIP: You should bring her Coral.)
Mission: Coral x100
~
(When I give my donation, her eyes dwell on me. But her gaze is regretful and apologetic. I ask her about the things that Amano sent, but all she does is hang her head.)
Reward:
- Experience: 20,000
- Gold: 35,000
4.At the End of Her Fingertips[]
(She picks a single chrysanthemum from the bouquet and begins to fiddle with it. She motions with her hands, her graceful movements new and unknown to me... It is as though she is preparing to dance.) (Not long after, an expression of longing appears on her graceful features. Her hand reaches out, pointing into the distance. Pointing to the south.) ~ (Chrysanthemum and the south. She must mean the Garden of Withered Flowers in the Shogun Castle of Death. I nod.)
Mission: Go to Shogun Castle of Death > Garden of Withered Flowers
~
(I return empty-handed... Her face is flustered with worry. She breathes a sigh of relief when she sees that I am safe.)
Reward:
- Experience: 20,000
- Gold: 35,000
5.Continued Story[]
(She hesitates for a while, but soon she gazes at me with conviction, as if she has finally made up her mind. She starts looking through her belongings once more.) ~ (She places something in my hands. It is a neatly knotted piece of paper.)
Mission: Read Amber Knotted Note
Amber Knotted Note>
At the end of a long journey, I finally completed my dance. And I can finally present my dance in the gods' voice. When I dance, I feel as if I am floating in the air. I almost fall into a state of complete nonexistence and am able to present a divine power that clearly reflects the gods' intentions.
However, I had no idea that evil beings were observing every step I took. As soon as I showed my dance to the world, the evil beings attached themselves to me and took my divine power, voice, and part of my memory.
They were frightened by the fact that one human being was able to gain such pure divine power through so meager an effort. I've heard that most of these evil creatures originated in the Shogun Castle, which now has become a lair of the undead.
~
(As soon as I am done reading, she averts her eyes again. Her face is flushed. I see tears begin to form in her eyes.)
Reward:
- Experience: 20,000
- Gold: 35,000
- Item: Amber Knotted Note x1
6.She Just Shook Her Head[]
(Even though I insist that the evil beings in Shogun Castle were no match for me, she continues to shake her head. Her expression tells me that she cannot send me to such a dangerous place again.) ~ (Still, I am happy to have learned more about her situation. Perhaps it would be good to go back and tell Amano what happened.)
Mission: Talk to Amano
~
Reward:
- Experience: 20,000
- Gold: 35,000
7.Even With Slight Movements[]
(Until recently, she would stand still and stare vacantly into the distance, but now she is making the same strange movement over and over again. It looks like some kind of dance.) (Following the movement of her hands and body, I can almost feel myself immersed in her dance. This may be just a small part of the entire dance, but this must be the enchanting dance that Amano is so enamored with.) ~ (She feels your gaze, and stops dancing immediately. From single moment in which I was watching her dance, I am filled with awe. I must do something to show my appreciation for what I just witnessed.) (Bring her some Silver Thread and Gold Thread.)
Mission: Silver Thread x10 Gold Thread x10
~
(After receiving a present, her cheeks grow red. She looks a bit discomforted, but soon she pulls herself together and puts the present in the shrine's charity container. She acts prim and proper, as if she is embarrassed that she had been caught practicing.)
Reward:
- Experience: 20,000
- Gold: 35,000
