Dialogue
Stejones Dialogue
What's with that look? There's no need to be disappointed.
You can trade it with someone else.
Someone gave me a large sum of money
while you were away looking for the ore.
He came here and dug out all of the seeds from the ground.
I am not lying! I am telling you the truth!
Why would I lie to you? What would I gain?
As mentioned previously, I am sorry I cannot trade with you.
However, he said he'll give a generous amount in return for the ore.
There's no doubt that the ore is of high value!
Me? I am not interested.
The money I received will suffice.
Stejones Dialogue (Alt)
Although I've never been there,
I heard that it's at southern parts of Serendia.
I also heard that it's pretty dark there.
I recommend that you take something that will light up the area.
Black Spirit Completion
I feel that something is amiss here.
If Stejones NPC Knowledge wasn't interested,
he would have told us from the start that a trade is no longer valid.
Why did he want to see the ore first?
Be alert and cautious.
Something isn't right here.
