The Puppeteer's Warning

Hm? I haven't found anything good on gathering jobs just yet... Did you need something else? Got any interesting news for me?

(You tell him about meeting the Black Wings Puppeteer.)

So, フランシス is the Puppeteer for the Black Wings? It all makes sense now... The Puppeteer must be the one behind the strange behavior of the メイプルキノコ monsters at ヘネシス and the feral actions of the Golems at エリニア. But... Did he mention the Black Mage?

Come to think of it, there have been reports of a group that has been trying to awaken the Black Mage. I always thought it was just a rumor. Turns out it wasn't. Could the prophecies be true? Is it possible that the Black Mage could return?

I think the Black Wings are worth investigating. They may be secretive, but they won't be able to sneak under トゥルー the Information Dealer's radar. If I find anything out, I'll let you know. Head to リエン村 and tell リリン about this.

The return of the hero, the followers of the Black Mage, and the prophecy... All of these things are connected. As the one who woke the hero, リリン should be in the loop about all this. リリン has been researching heroes for quite some time, so I'm sure she'll be able to help.

You don't want to give リリン the dangerous news? She may seem weak on the outside, but remember, she lived alone on that island a long time, just to find you. She's much stronger than you think.

Haven't you gone to リエン村 yet? For anything to do with the Black Mage, you should definitely keep リリン in the loop.
