L31. Treasure Hunter

"Psst! %n%, did you hear that?" Your ears prick up upon hearing a sound in the distance.

"Hello, there! I'm Hunter Topher. I'm not sure if you've heard, but there's been some strange monster activity around these parts recently. I've been searching for people to help."

"I need you to bring the broken pieces back to me in Kaslow Plains. Before you head off, though, let me first give you some hunting and treasure seeking tips that'll make your job easier."

"That's everything in a nutshell! Think you've got the basics down?" Topher asks.

"The dark forces are growing more powerful by the day, and, though we've already dispatched reinforcements, I'm not sure how much longer we can keep this up."

"To lighten the burden, the Demon Hunter Guild came up with this incentive program for Sprite Messengers."

"Is that... a skeleton?" Topher eyes the object in your hand with suspicion.

"As a general rule, you're supposed to bring back a black pearl. I'm getting a bad feeling about this..."

His usual expression has been replaced by one of deep concern.

"You mean the intelligence turned out to be genuine after all?"
