Well? What happened? Can you equip another Stigma? A Greater Stigma?

That intermediary I mentioned--it allows beings other than Daevas to use Stigma. Even Greater Stigma!

And I thought there was no more to be learned!

Player: "That's astonishing!"

Using Greater Stigma could be a tremendous boost to our war effort, Player. We must learn everything we can to stay ahead of our enemies.

If the Elyos--or Aion forbid, the Balaur--were to harness this capability...

Will you undertake another task for me? Asmodae needs you.

Player: Accept.

You got the Artificial Stigma from Teirunerk? Will you speak to him again?

We need all the information possible on the Shulack Stigma technique--perhaps we can amplify the Stigma even more!

Of course, he'll make you jump through lots of Shugo hoops to get the information, but we do what we must, eh, Player?

Player: "Some of us do...."

Daeva has burning question--Teirunerk can tell, akakak.

But information is always for sale, yes?

That means it's never on offer for nothing.

Player: "So what's the current price?"

Shulack Stigma technique? Daeva, many many Shugos have died for that information. For that reason, it will cost much much more, nyerk.

Teirunerk not interested in gold and jewels. Teirunerk wants detail of Shulack technology research.

Every detail recorded somewhere, so defeat Engineer Lahulahu and Chief Gunner Koakoa, and return with Pirates' Research Log.

Player: "Understood. The task is mine."

Kinah is Kinah, but technology is greater and more useful, nyerk.

Those documents can turn tide of war between Black Cloud and Shulacks. War between Elyos and Asmodians too, yes? And Balaur, yes?

Give them to me and I will teach Shulack Stigma technique.

Player: "I have them here."

Yes...all here.

Daeva has earned information, nyerk. Many Shugos known to have died in experiments. What Daeva has given me is of equal value, and deal is deal, yes?

Here is letter. Show to Kohrunerk on Black Cloud Island, yes? He has book for you.

Player: "I'll find him. And thank you."

Many of your kind underestimate Shugos, friend Daeva.

In particular, not good to underestimate Black Cloud Traders. We know things that...never mind, nyerk.

Is that letter for this humble Shugo?

Player: "It is."

Absurd!

Ships sunk...friends and brothers lost...all so we can give book over to Asmodian Daeva?!

But Teirunerk promised, nyerk...I must give you the book.

We have copies of information, but keep this safe, Daeva. Do not let it fall into wrong paws!

Player: "I'll be careful with it."

This is simply incredible. I'm only astonished it was the Shulacks who came up with it. The calculations, the complexity, the clarity!

I need another volunteer. Hmm, another drop of this, and splash of that. Here, try this!

I've never done this before but I think I got it right. Check to see if you can use more Stigma now.
