(Looks around furtively.)

This information is just for you, Player. When you go out of Forgotten Temple of Dragon Lord, you will see Pentachroma Coast.

I hear that this used to be a sea.

Perhaps because of that, you can see many seashells on the beaches here, but the important thing is that some people have found rare red pearls in those shells.

I think this coast was a habitat of pearl shells. Player, could you go to the beaches and check if there are any Red Pearl Shell, and return with some pearls?

When you've collected enough, take them to Danpaul and see how much they're worth.

Player: Accept.

Ah, it's you, Player!

I heard that you'd arrived here.

I'm glad to see you.

But what are you holding in your hands?

Player: Tell him what Gardon said.

Gardon asked you to do what?

I don't think you should accept more requests like this.

There are a number of people here who are only interested in lining their own pockets.

Who knows if they have the best interest of the Expedition at heart or are only doing it for personal gain?

Player: Say okay.

I doubt Gardon had any ill intent when he told you to see me about this.

If he did, he wouldn't have thought to ask a scholar for valuation.

Scholars restrain themselves from seeking selfish gains because it interferes with treading the path of knowledge.

So we only assist with an appraisal when it's for the purpose of common gain.

I want to believe that Gardon did this purely for the Expedition's benefit.

Anyway, I'll make sure that this pearl is used for a good cause.
