L31. Genius Steeped in Darkness

Item : Book: Record of the Black Swamp

After these shocking and terrible experiences, I summoned the courage to visit my last stop in this place: Oz's Haunted House.

When Damian told me about a mad man named Oz who lived in a haunted house to the southeast, I became very curious about this Mr.. Oz.

After defeating the misshapen creatures that Oz described as failed experiments at the door, I finally met with the great artist.

Though the Screwloose Giants and Skinstitch Giants wanted to rip me in half at first sight, I felt a glimmer of relief for the tragedy of Black Swamp after seeing Mr. Oz.

*Once quest is complete, read this book to report back

Looking back now, this is probably the only thing I can happily remember from my adventure in the Black Swamp.

After hearing that I was planning to publish my experiences in the Black Swamp, he invited me to his place for a chat and a leisurely afternoon tea.

The swamp coffee he brewed with his experimental beaker was incredibly rich and delicious, and I still can't forget it to this day.

When we talked about the past of the Black Swamp, he openly admitted to me that the tragedy in Hidden Rock Village was caused by his terrible mistake.

His honesty made me deeply understand that everyone makes mistakes at some point, but as long as the intentions are good and there is genuine remorse, we shouldn't be too harsh, especially since this was just a distraction for him.

Genius scientists with such extensive knowledge are rare, and I believe his outstanding contributions to the field of science can compensate for the impact of these mistakes.

Mr. Oz, who is intelligent, even suggested installing the Musket on my arm. Just imagine how cool that would be!

I hereby accuse the Senate of burying talent and exiling this great scientist to this miserable place. Mr. Oz's scientific achievements are undoubtedly a milestone on the continent of Saphael. He is not a madman, he is a genius!

(Closing the book, you are confused by the author's completely different attitude and description methods in the first three chapters and the fourth chapter...)

(After actually visiting Oz, you have no doubt that he is a complete madman.)

(You went back to review the content of the last chapter and couldn't help but start to suspect if something was added to the mentioned cup of swamp coffee.)
