[Mediah] [Crossroad] For Altinova

Neruda Shen

Objective
The Black Spirit NPC Knowledge appeared suddenly, warning that all may not be as it seems and that there are two sides to every story. Return to Altinova and speak with Neruda Shen NPC Knowledge to determine whether rumors of his collaboration with the Barbarians is true.

※ You have reached a quest crossroad.
※ If you feel you cannot trust Neruda Shen, you can decline the quest and go to Sarma Anin NPC Knowledge. If you trust Neruda Shen, you can accept the quest from the Black Spirit and go back to Neruda Shen.

They were weak, it's as simple as that.
No point feeling bad for them, it's just the way of the world. Hehe.
You remember what happened in Calpheon.
There's always two sides to every story.
Just trust me! The petty affairs of humans mean nothing to me, hehe. I only do what's best for you.
So... Speaking of trust, do you really believe Neruda Shen NPC Knowledge is a bad person?
Think it through carefully, hehe.
Let's talk to him and demand some answers!
