The Chase and the Conspiracy

Here, take this 魔力追跡コンパス. Hmmm...I sense the magicians in the west side of マガティア. They must be escaping towards アリアント.

You must catch them, and bring the 禁断の錬金術書 back to me.

It will take them about 10 minutes to get to アリアント. That means you have 10 minutes to catch them and get the book back. If you hurry, you can likely catch them near 赤い砂の砂漠.

H-how can you refuse to help NOW?! I just told you, if evil forces use that book, the world is DOOMED! That's DOOMED in all capitals, and that is BAD! Ohh, I can't bear to see マガティア's alchemy abused...

What happened? Are we still doomed?

No. Here is the book.

Oh...ohhh...that is SUCH a relief. You have no idea how close we were to worldwide disaster just now. Wow...I don't know who you are, but I could kiss you for returning that book.

I would not suggest trying that. Those magicians were servants of the Black Mage. Even if I return this book, they will surely come for it again. What is your plan?

カソン and I don't usually see eye-to-eye, but we discussed this matter while you were retrieving the book. Despite our interests in preserving knowledge, we agree that we cannot keep the book away from the minions of the Black Mage forever. That being the case, I will destroy it, here and now.

Excellent. Better to remove the risk entirely.

Agreed. Though, I wonder...what was the true purpose of this so-called Dark Alchemy? Why did the ancient masters leave us such powerful, dangerous book? I suppose we'll never know now...

Because of you, the legacy of マガティア was kept from the hands of evil. The people and associations of マガティア will never forget your help!

What are you waiting for? GO! Head towards アリアント and retrieve the 禁断の錬金術書! If you hurry, youmight be able to catch them around 赤い砂の砂漠.
