Magic Academy Mage Noll

"Finally! Finally I am in the Alternate Ancient Forest, abundant with research materials."

"Just got teleported here. My head is still a little dizzy."

"When look closer, here is full of creatures with Magic Crystals grown all over."

"I'm here at last - the Alternate Ancient Forest."

"It looks like this area has suffered from the most severe impact of crystallization."

"Go to find Nalla and see if she needs help. I'll study the ecology here."

"I heard Arimo said there are strange Jelly Rabbits in the East. I really want to catch one and study."

You tell Noll what Arimo asks him to help as well as what you found in the stream.

"Is that Arimo wants me to check whether the stream water is harmful? "Of course, no problem!"

"But you said that there are also Magic Crystal Experiments around the stream, lingering on a slope."

"Well... will there be anything on it?"

"According to my previous experience, there is always something special about the location where Magic Crystal Experiments linger."

"My curiosity is piqued. Can you go check the Waterfall Zone (554,667) for me?"

"If you can, clear up the <Will-less> Magic Crystal Experiments and Formed Crystal Dragons on the way, so that I don't have to worry about being attacked when I go alone."

"If you find anything, go report to Arimo. I will stay to study the water you brought back."

"That's weird. The water here is not different from normal water."

"What's wrong?"

You tell Noll what you found at the source of the stream.

"What did you say?" A magic crystal that discharges liquid - a big discovery!"

(Noll shakes you excitedly.)

You tell Noll calmly that the Magic Crystal might be dangerous, so it must be destroyed.

"Is that so?... To destroy such precious material..."

(Noll is obviously disappointed.)

"Okay, so you are asking about the way to destroy it?" Of course, no problem, but before that..."

"This is the sample you took back from the stream, while this is a sample of the drinking water we brought from Ilya."

"What's surprising is that the components of these two kinds of water are identical!"

"Can you help me collect some Impure Cores and Impure Shards from Magic Crystal Jelly Rabbits around the stream?"

"A stream with that color. It can't be the same as normal water."

"No matter how I analyzed it, its components is the same as normal water... This is so weird. How come the components of water with such color be identical to that of normal water?"

You hand the materials to Noll and tell him you found a note from a Magic Crystal Experiment.

"Let me see... there are just a few words on it, 'Be careful! Shirinado...?"

"Shirinado seems to be a person's name, but why should he be careful?"

You tell Noll that you saw Carso's followers at the source of the stream earlier, which might have something to do with this note.

"I see. If this is the case, the name written on this note might refer to one of those people."

"Although further investigation is necessary, there should be many enemies up there. First dispose some of Rift Strikers, and see if we can find any clues from them."

"Have you found any clues from them?"

You hand over the secret order you found to Noll.

"You found this secret order? Let me have a look."

"According to what's written here, the mastermind seems to be the one called Shirinado. In order to contaminate the creatures in this area and control them, he used the special Mutated Magic Crystal that Carso gave him."

"That Magic Crystal seems to be able to discharge some special liquid, which contains a small amount of Mutated Dimensional Crystal. Although the percentage is not high, it can still cause mutation when being consumed for a long term."

"This doesn't sound very good. We have to figure something out quickly."

"It seems that we should first deal with the person called Shirinado."

"Although that special Magic Crystal is located in the middle of the lake, there should be a core that one can be control it from a distance."

"After defeating him, look for that core and bring it to me. I'll see if I can figure out a way to destroy it through analyzing that core."

"Have you found that Magic Crystal? The sooner we get rid of it, the better; or we don't know when mutation will occur."

"Have you defeated him?"

You hand over that Mutated Magic Crystal Core to Noll.

"This is it! I will analyze it and see*If there is a way to destroy the Mutated Magic Crystal directly from a distance."

"Here you are! I have done analyzing it."

"Now, you just need to bring it to the source (561, 673) to destroy the core."

"At the moment when the core is destroyed, the Mutated Magic Crystal in the center of the lake should collapse and dissolve."

"Have you destroyed that Mutated Magic Crystal successfully?"

"That's great! We don't need to worry about it any more."

"As for the Mutated Dimensional Crystal remained in other organisms, will there be any problem?"

"If the remained crystal inside an organism doesn't reach certain amount, it won't cause mutation. Don't worry too much."

"Right, when you went to destroy that Magic Crystal, I found from the analyzed data a suspected location where Spacetime Twist happened."

"It seems to be on the edge of the cliff in the Southeast. Tell everyone this information, and also ask about Nalla's follow-up actions."

"Then decide whether we'll go directly to that location, or get well-prepared first."

You watch Noll eating a Dry Fruits Brownie.

"Mmm... The thing you brought this time isn't too sweet, so it doesn't become too rich. That's really good!"

"It seems that you did listen to what I said earlier: eating too sweet is not good for your health."

"Let me tell you..."

You don't want to listen to Noll's non-stop mumbling, so you leave hastily.

"While I was wandering outside in the past few days... cough... No, while I was doing investigation."

"I found out that there is a junction between the ocean and the polluted stream. The liquid on both sides won't mingle..."

"So a special two-colored water area is formed. Isn't it amazing?!"

(Noll shakes you excitedly.)

"Can you help me observe the changes of the waters for a long-term period? My instinct told me that there must be something interesting there, waiting for me to dig it out! "

"I've tried to draw the wonders of the two-colored waters, but failed so many times!"

"Forget it!"

(Noll drops the unfinished painting and walks away.)

"What's up! Any new discoveries?"

(You tell Noll that marine life will turn around as soon as they reach the junction of the two-colored waters.)

"Unbelievable, it seems that something is hidden under the waters."

"It doesn't seem as calm as the surface."

"I think if you conduct tests on the nearby creatures and break down their tissue structure, you might find some clues."

"Right, I remember there are a lot of crabs nearby!"

"There seems to be something attached to the left foot of those crabs, that might be the key material."

"Pal! Please bring me some "Giant Crab's Left Leg" and come back to me!"

"Crabs, crabs!"

"Crabs, crabs, crabs, they have eight feet!"

(Noll seems to be bored and starts to make up his own songs.)

"Well... this foot looks really... delicious..."

(You asked Noll if he was hungry.)

"Ahem, no, I was just joking!"

"I am going to prepare the tools for research!"

"I really think I am a genius!"

"Look! This is the "Concentrated Flavor Syrup" that I have developed with crab feet. You can take it to (461,296) and see what happens!"

"Remember to come back and tell me the result."

"This hypothesis should be correct..."

"I'll just wait for %n% to tell me the result."

(Noll looked at the research report and muttered to himself.)

When you see Noll, you immediately ran over to tell him that after sprinkling the potion, the water surface produced a lot of bubbles. A Giant Sand Crab appeared after that.

"Oh! Good heavens, I was right..."

"Great! I have to record this right away! "

"Where is my research log? Ah, here it is."

(Noll happily scribbled in his research log.)

"The Barren Crystal Worm Cave is not far from us, there are many bugs I have never seen on the mainland of Saphael!"

"Can you help me get some "Erosion Worm Broken Limb" and "Enchanted Worm Sting"?"

You asked Noll why can't he do it himself when it's so close by!

"Well... it's just... the colors of the bugs are very bright, I am afraid that they might be venomous..."

"You have to help me, they creep me out!"

You stare at Noll with displeasure.

"But first, we have to prepare an antidote and gloves."

"Being poisoned is troublesome. There are no doctors here..."

"You...Can you hold it directly with your hands?"

"That tail looks very venomous..."

(Noll looked at you with suspicion, you said to Noll that you're not worried about it.)

"I see, but please wait for me to wear my gloves before giving it to me, just in case!"
