# Then... is he in Beombawi Valley now? **Quest Group**: 112763 **Steps**: 33 ## Summary No, a tiger killed him. After hearing the news, Maewol cried endlessly. ## Walkthrough ### Step 1 - **Reward**: When she regains consciousness, please let her know... that she still owes me some money! Don't forget to tell her! ### Step 2 - **Reward**: From afar, I thought she was just a wicked ninetailed fox, but seeing her up close, I almost fell in love with her myself. ### Step 3 - **Objective**: Then... is he in Beombawi Valley now? - **Summary**: No, a tiger killed him. After hearing the news, Maewol cried endlessly. ### Step 4 - **Reward**: All Maewol had of him was a trinket and his words, promising his return. ### Step 5 - **Objective**: Did he come of his own will? - **Summary**: It was under the orders of His Lordship. He appointed him as the chief of investigation. Huh? All of a sudden? What exactly did he investigate? That was when the tiger attacks had just begun. He gave him orders to carry out an investigation at Beombawi Valley. Not sure how His Lordship found out he used to be a Tigerslayer... He couldn't even bid farewell to Maewol before leaving. All Maewol had of him was a trinket and his words, promising his return. ### Step 6 - **Reward**: Go ahead. Then, one day, Maewol's love came to the government office. ### Step 7 - **Objective**: What am I looking at? - **Summary**: Oh ho, it's written in such nice handwriting! A letter to Maewol's betrothed, I see! His Lordship had us try to seduce him, and we really tried our best, but to no avail. That's so petty and immature of him to ask for such a thing! May I keep this letter? For academic purposes, of course. ### Step 8 - **Reward**: They say love turns one back into a child. Ho ho ho. Here, take a look at this. ### Step 9 - **Objective**: She caught the eye of His Lordship? - **Summary**: Yes. Like ink spreading thickly onto paper, his heart fell deeper and deeper in love with Maewol. He cast aside his job and even myself, a woman of exceptional beauty, in an attempt to win Maewol's heart. However, she already had a man to whom she was soon to wed. All His Lordship could do was watch from a distance. ### Step 10 - **Reward**: That man was none other than the Yeongam of the East. ### Step 11 - **Reward**: There's a saying in the place where I used to work. Love as gentle as the calm sea waves is far more dangerous than a love that burns red hot. ### Step 12 - **Reward**: You, the one chosen by the Songakshi, stay here with me. Hmm, not one line of your face reads "farmhand" to me. ### Step 13 - **Reward**: No, not even close! You wish! It's ridiculous you thought this would appease me. Vendors sell, not give. ### Step 14 - **Objective**: Could you please repeat the verse? - **Summary**: I am the fox of Moodle with a crimson coat. In the village, many friends can be found. But I am a loner, hiding my tail, you who changed me, when again shall we meet? Today too, I gaze across the sea, watching the sun fall beyond reach. In the wind that brushes past my fur, I imagine his breath, as if he were near. ### Step 15 - **Reward**: Alright, here's a hint. The poet thought that the maehwa tree was as wickedly beautiful as a fox. ### Step 16 - **Reward**: You can't just expect me to provide my services for nothing. Listen to my words carefully, then find and bring me a token. ### Step 17 - **Objective**: Who are these "men" you are talking about? - **Summary**: Huh? I'm just telling it like it is. No need to be so serious. Hmm, you must be here to ask me something. I may just be a jeweler here in Nampo now, but I used to be one of the top gisaengs for the Donghae office. ### Step 18 - **Reward**: Nothing to be ashamed of! There's plenty of men who have plenty of mistresses here while their wives await them in the capital. ### Step 19 - **Objective**: Did you know Miss Maewol? - **Summary**: What do you mean she also turned into a Songakshi? You act like there's more than one! Of course there are. Where I come from, there are many stories told of the vengeful ghosts of young women who faced wrongful deaths. Why? Were you one of the many men who fell in love with Maewol? What a lucky girl! Men chasing her to her very grave. Utter nonsense! I have a wife waiting back in the capital! Shh! Shush! People might misunderstand! ### Step 20 - **Reward**: Who? Did you say Maewol? Oh my! She also turned into a Songakshi? ### Step 21 - **Reward**: You might be surprised to know how this medicine is administered. Anyway, please also tell him that I put in a lot of effort to get this medicine. ### Step 22 - **Reward**: Could you give him the money I owe him for medicine? Tell him I'll return for the medicine in four days. ### Step 23 - **Reward**: Oh, but don't get me wrong. There might be other reasons! I also heard that his chronic disease relapsed. ### Step 24 - **Objective**: How long has Yeongam of the East been here? - **Summary**: Hmm... Almost 10 years? Thanks to him, our province is at peace. ### Step 25 - **Reward**: Isn't all of the discrimination and contempt he received from his lowly birth now the motivation for his ambition? ### Step 26 - **Objective**: And what's this about a promotion to the capital? - **Summary**: Our Yeongam of the East is destined for greatness, so obviously he dreams of standing above ten thousand other men, second only to one. Did you think he would stay stuck in the Donghae Province for his entire life? Impossible! His Lordship is someone who dreams big. But why all this effort? Seeing as he came from nothing, he's done quite well for himself. His mother, a concubine, died at the hands of his father's jealous wife. It doesn't really show, but he must bear a deep resentment. Ah, even the Hyungam, who is from a three-generation-long line of only sons, of a prestigious family no less, despised him at first! ### Step 27 - **Reward**: It's not only that! He's quite talented in martial arts as well, so he naturally excels as a military officer. ### Step 28 - **Objective**: So the Yeongam was born of a servant woman? - **Summary**: In...deed. He's very knowledgeable, but due to his background, he could not take the state exam. Instead, he took the military exam to enter the government. Thanks to that, the Donghae Province has an excellent warden, though. ### Step 29 - **Reward**: So, what do you want to know? ### Step 30 - **Objective**: Hand over Gold Bar 10G. - **Summary**: Alright. That'll suffice for my services. ### Step 31 - **Reward**: For information about the Yeongam of the East, no less... any price I name would still be a bargain. ### Step 32 - **Reward**: Well, you came to the right place. I was once a gisaeng for the Donghae government. No one knows that person quite like I do. ### Step 33 - **Dialogue**:
