# Yes, Dolswe the "porter." Enlighten us. **Quest Group**: 113038 **Steps**: 24 ## Summary Director, how's the city been feelin' lately? Seems like there's a bit of a hullabaloo brewin', if you catch my drift. These are unsettling times. Even after the late king's funeral, the Crown Prince has yet to ascend the throne. However, the throne cannot remain vacant for long. They say the Crown Prince will ascend next week. ## Walkthrough ### Step 1 - **Dialogue**: ### Step 2 - **Reward**: How dare they show such disrespect to me. The nerve! Even tearing them limb from limb would not quell my anger! ### Step 3 - **Reward**: As they say, the ranks of society should be distinct and separate... Anyway... Why have you come seeking me? ### Step 4 - **Objective**: Yes, Dolswe the "porter." Enlighten us. - **Summary**: Director, how's the city been feelin' lately? Seems like there's a bit of a hullabaloo brewin', if you catch my drift. These are unsettling times. Even after the late king's funeral, the Crown Prince has yet to ascend the throne. However, the throne cannot remain vacant for long. They say the Crown Prince will ascend next week. ### Step 5 - **Reward**: That is, if no further issues arise until then. Even now, rumors abound that besmirch the Crown Prince's name! ### Step 6 - **Objective**: Details, please. - **Summary**: Your "Lady" Yeonhwa suddenly appeared in Seoul, radiating a dark energy, and since then, a series of strange events has unfolded. There have been reports of a dark monstrosity at the castle ruins in the south, and a servant of the Minister of the Treasury claims to have seen a large marten. The M-minister of T-treasury? Ya talkin' about the new minister Seong Siwon who just got appointed? Yes, the father-in-law of Lee Mongryong, the one who was just dismissed from his position as Chief Royal Secretary. But... why are you so shocked? ### Step 7 - **Reward**: My word! Ain't right for a lady like yourself to stare at my face like that! It's downright embarrassin'! ### Step 8 - **Objective**: Any other news? - **Summary**: I've heard whispers of the Plague God appearing, and about the Dangsan Tree turning black as well... Traveler, Dolswe! Your suspicions were correct. The late king indeed fell victim to poison. All the eunuchs, royal physicians, and handmaidens attending to His Late Majesty were either exiled or have also met their demise... ### Step 9 - **Reward**: D-demise? All of 'em... dead?! Tell me more! Quick, now! ### Step 10 - **Objective**: Please, continue. - **Summary**: I've acquired the draft of the annals recorded by the scribe. Truly a stroke of luck, it was moments away from being consigned to the flames. Mercy me! Ya got some skills there! They say Hado School's spy network is the best in the land! Let's see what ya got! Bleedin' from all nine holes and his face turned black... Oh, my... Your Majesty... ### Step 11 - **Reward**: Ah, I see. So that is why Her Highness's countenance was shrouded with such a darkness. ### Step 12 - **Objective**: Any suspects come to mind? - **Summary**: Let's see. We know the last person to meet with the late king was none other than Lord Jang Daeseung. Moreover, it's recorded that on that day, he had a private audience with His Majesty in Gangnyeongjeon Hall and presented persimmons and marinated raw crab. Oh, ya talkin' 'bout that fella, huh? Lemme at 'im, and I'll wring that traitor's neck quicker than a rooster can crow at dawn! ### Step 13 - **Reward**: How could such a thing be possible? Is there no chance it wasn't poison? ### Step 14 - **Reward**: Whatever's lurking within, one thing is certain. Someone is definitely hiding something. ### Step 15 - **Objective**: What's the current situation? - **Summary**: At this moment, the inner sanctum of the palace is teeming with members of the Gangnon faction, Lord Jang Daeseung's followers. Even under normal circumstances, the Crown Prince has but few allies, and now with Her Highness having fallen ill... Those no-good bastards are surely up to somethin' big, no doubt about it. My friend! Please, lend us a hand, will you? ### Step 16 - **Reward**: There must be something that connects these peculiar events happening all across the land with a single thread. ### Step 17 - **Objective**: As Dolswe's confidant, I'll help as well. - **Summary**: Traveler! I knew you'd come through, yessiree! So, what's our next move, Seungsan? An outlander, just a mere wanderer, dares to meddle in the succession of our nation's throne...? Please wait a moment. I have something from the school I prepared for such occasions... Ah, here it is. ### Step 18 - **Reward**: Take these Palju Bells. They're a sacred relic of Dangun the Mountain Deity, safeguarded by the Hado School for many years. ### Step 19 - **Objective**: Alright. I'll take it. - **Summary**: Whoa there! Such a precious thing...? No way! What if we break it while carryin' it around? I trust you two with it because I believe in your capabilities. There is no other method to contain the scattered energy of Dark Bonghwang. ### Step 20 - **Reward**: Ah, got it. I'll make sure to take good care of it, so it don't get a single scratch. We're truly grateful, Seungsan. ### Step 21 - **Objective**: What do I do with this relic? - **Summary**: First, we must gather the scattered energy that was lost when the relic was taken from Her Highness. Then, we shall venture deep into Mount Ahshi to Bonghwang's nest, where we will then purify the darkened energy of Dark Bonghwang. Once Bonghwang is purified and joins forces with the Crown Prince, all treacherous forces will have no choice but to abandon their intentions. Bonghwang is the legendary beast governed by the founding monarch. We must restore unshakable legitimacy that no one can challenge. Whoa! Your thoughts match mine to a tee. We gotta show those bad folks a power they can't resist! So, Seungsan, you weren't just a rich merchant mingling with the peddlers in the marketplace after all? ### Step 22 - **Reward**: Haha. So, it has come to pass, Director. When the time is right, I shall reveal everything to you. ### Step 23 - **Objective**: Where should I begin? - **Summary**: My girls often perform dances and songs they've learned, engaging in conversations with all sorts of gentlemen. Thanks to this, all the world's information converges here —from the bustling streets to grand tile-roof houses. I am truly grateful, Director. With your assistance, we shall indeed save a great deal of time! Well, bless your soul, dear Director! I'm mighty grateful to ya! I'll make sure to repay this kindness, no doubt about it, or my name ain't Dolswe! ### Step 24 - **Reward**: "A place where clouds linger, gazing down upon the world." The name "Yuunru" carries that very meaning.
