L71. Vilefiend Spire Rescue Plan

"Sprite Messengers! An unfortunate incident has occurred in Winterflake Forest in the north:
We've lost contact with a team of outstanding scientists who were sent to
investigate Vilefiend Spire."

"What makes things worse is that, according to intel report, the spire
is overflowing with some sort of evil energy. Winterflake Forest and the nearby regions
are now facing an unprecedented crisis!"

"Saphael requires everyone's effort and power! Through our collaboration with the people and cities of Saphael, we have
been able to build a shortcut to Vilefiend Spire.
Please hurry over to Jale. There we will provide you with instructions on
the next steps of our rescue plan."

Nicholas, Science Association Chairperson

"The folks from Kaslow will take care of the supplies for the expedition team. What?
The Sprite Messenger hasn't shown up yet?"

The person in front of you flips through the pages of a roster while simultaneously
spouting orders through a communication device.

"Huh? Who are you? What do you want?"

He gives you the barest of glances before resuming his work.

"Eh? You're a Sprite Messenger and you want to help?"

At that, Ethen puts aside his work and raises a hand to his head
in an awkward salute.

"My name is Ethen, I'm a researcher close to the missing team. I am in charge of the rescue operation.
Thank you for offering to help us."

"If you have any questions, please direct them to me!"
