Dialogue
Marni Dialogue
The queen at Bronte's Bolt Knowledge Item..?
Truly remarkable, you all are.
I guess it'd be a waste to experiment on you...
I do want to share a bit of my work... What do you say?
We're strapped for time. We must head to the Mountain of Eternal Winter.
So I'll ask you this only once.
Is there any way to stop Queen Vercedes NPC Knowledge
from planting the Winter Tree seed?
...That's it!
That's exactly what I was experimenting on!
I've something to share with you regarding that mountain as well!
Please... please give me a chance to awe and amaze!
Look, on behalf of all geniuses, I assure you,
we won't regret letting this man speak. What do you say?
...one look, that's all.
It'll be a waste of time to stop you, it seems.
Huh..? Wait... AAAAAAAAAH!
TORI... YOU FOOL!!! I'm sorry. My faulty specimen, it...
It's in one of its moods again. This time it has dumped
all of my research and materials into the Black Lake...

The source of the swamp mutants's growth... Ah, no, wrong one.
Ah! Here it is. Signage of ethnic groups...
The phenomenon of Queen Vercedes NPC Knowledge planting
the Winter Tree seed or leaving the swarm for a distant area.
At first I speculated some attractant to be involved,
but after examining the poisonous fang your friend handed over earlier,
I've found some traces of parasitic hosts.
In other words, they're not doing this of their own free will.
I think I know the very culprit.
I see them from time to time. What was it in your tongue again...?
Deian... You mean, that Black Spirit NPC Knowledge..?

Yes! That's right. That very one!
I wonder.. why won't one possess me?
Marni Post-Completion
The queen at Bronte's Bolt Knowledge Item..?
Deadeye... you've brought some truly remarkable friends!
I guess it'd be a waste to experiment on you...
