Oh, Marchutan already told me.

Many Daevas carry out all sorts of work in Gelkmaros.

But the most critical assignments are only entrusted to those who meet specific criteria.

One skill is especially important.

It's irrelevant in Atreia, but indispensable in Balaurea.
Why, knowledge of the Balaur language of course. Unlike in Atreia, here we encounter Balaur so frequently that knowing their language is essential to gathering intelligence.

What's more, Balaurea has countless archaeological sites. These ruins can only be studied if you have sufficient command of the language.

Bischkek, Union Boss in the Triniel Coliseum, is said to possess a potion that lets you learn Balaur in a flash.

Obtain the potion and learn to speak Balaur.
I haven't seen your face before. What do you want?

Oh, you mean the Blue Speech Crystal! I guess Balaurea is your next destination.

You've come to the right place. Hahaha.

However, you don't look particularly well-off. If you bring me a certain item, I'll give you what you want.
I need an Elyos Airship Design.

Those Elyos snobs must be in the possession of unparalleled technology to build such a magnificent vessel.

That Airship Design will make us Atreia's leading transport union. Hahaha.
I just found out that the Black Cloud Merchants have this Airship Design. I tried to convince them to give the sketch, but Payrinrinerk's negotiation skills are known all over.

You're going to have just as little success, so I'll give you a tip, Player:

Payrinrinerk has lost her beloved ribbon somewhere in Triniel Coliseum. If you find it, you can use it to exert pressure in the upcoming negotiations.

I'll wait for you here and prepare the Balaur Language Potion in the meantime.
Bischkek, the Union Boss, probably asked Daeva to come here.

Completely unnecessary.

Tell him that Daeva failed too, ak.
But that's it! That's the ribbon Shugo lost!

Where did Daeva find it?

Shugo lost it and set a Finder's Fee for it.
Thank you, ak!

Daeva can say what Daeva wants.

Black Cloud Merchants can get it all and more besides.
Today is Daeva's lucky day, ak!

Shugo has the Elyos Airship Design.

This is it, isn't it?
Player, you're back!

Did you succeed?
Excellent. And the original, too.

I didn't expect you to succeed, but I will uphold my end of the bargain. Here, take it.

You have to drink the liquid from the Blue Speech Crystal immediately. Even if it tastes disgusting, hahaha.
Head down that path until you see some Balaur. Go on, eavesdrop on their chatter.

And thank you so much for your efforts, Player.
