[Azwan] The False Elixir

If Hilla is already out in Maple World, it won't be easy to stop her. She is someone who was willing to sacrifice people who cared about her to fulfill her ambitions.

In any case, if she isn't here anymore, there's not much point in maintaining the barrier around the Refugee Zone. While it's nice to know Hilla isn't in her tower, not knowing where she is or what she's planning is worrying.

You said there is an organization which is united in fighting the Black Mage, correct? The Maple Alliance... Perhaps this time things will be different...

I'm not sure what help us ghosts can offer you, but we'll assist the Alliance however we can. We'll start by removing the barrier around the Refugee Zone. The Alliance will be able to come and go as you see fit. Does that sound good?

Excellent, we'll do what we can to stop Hilla.

(Wait... What about grave robbers? If they drop the barrier, they'll come rushing in looking for that potion thing...)

What's this about grave robbers? Ah, I suppose it's not surprising that rumors of Azwan's riches would attract looters. Though, there's no such thing as an Elixir of Everlasting Youth...

Perhaps the facts have been muddled with time? When Hilla offered Azwan to the Black Mage, she asked for everlasting youth.

(If that's how it went, why do so many people think there's an elixir? I should tell Gardin about what's happened so far.)

I know we're weak, but surely we can be of some help.

Oh, there you are. You were gone so long, I wondered if Hilla had done you in or something. Haha. Just kidding, of course.

...So let me get this straight, you met Hilla, or I guess an illusion of Hilla? And you found a bunch of ghosts?

Slow down and walk me through everything.

(The ghosts of the Refugee Zone want to help us, but what's the deal with this Elixir of Everlasting Youth rumor? I should tell Gardin what's happened so far.)
