**Quest No Raw**: 87037
**Chronicle (questGroupNo)**: 21501
**Entry (questId)**: 1

## Giver Label

_Neruda Shen_

## Objective

The Black Spirit 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 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. If you trust Neruda Shen, you can accept the quest from the Black Spirit and go back to Neruda Shen.

_Find Neruda Shen;_

## Summary
