_Geoffrey Erne_

_Meet with Geoffrey Erne in the Encarotia Office;_

## Summary

Oh, it's you, the one chosen by Povios.. 
Rumor has it that you are the hero of Kamasylvia,
but I hope this recent task didn't trouble your conscience.
Living in this world, too often does one have to ignore certain processes.
I wasn't confident...but with this task, I am relieved to say that
the name of the Xian Merchant Guild has spread wide and far once more.
I'm only asking because I'm worried for you, but,
no one in Kamasylvia can know about this. Understood?
P-particularly the members of the parliament.
A slight misstep can lead to a huge misunderstanding...
This whole thing was my idea,
so I do pray you to abstain from having any misgivings about it as well.
Geoffrey, what is the meaning of this?
Did I hear that right...
And why are the nobles suddenly showering the guild with praise...?
If this is your doing, I demand an explanation, immediately!
Ah yes, I was just about to tell you everything.
Here is your compensation. Could you excuse us, please?
