**Quest Group**: 13101389
**Steps**: 7

## Summary

You've reached the same conclusion then. That's the only time that seems plausible.
House Leight has a long history with the Black Stones after all.
Hard to picture that sweet old lady,
who lends her aid to the less fortunate, turning to poison, ey?
Ha, my friend. It seems you still have much to learn about the world.
Everyone goes through this life wearing a mask.
You only get a glimpse of their true faces
when you gaze into the very depths of their being.

### Step 1

- **Reward**: Leave this matter to me.
Now, you should take a well-deserved rest.


### Step 2

- **Objective**: Could it have been Lady Norma?

### Step 3

- **Reward**: But when could this have happened?
Any ideas? I have one particular moment in mind...


### Step 4

- **Objective**: You mean when she received it from the Baron of Montverdel.

- **Summary**: That's right. Back in the day,
it took miners a good while to get poisoned from the Black Stones.
For her to get poisoned in such a short time...
Could it be that she had been secretly engrossed in alchemy?
Or, she had no choice but to directly absorb the Black Stone into her body.
 Meaning, she might have ingested it.


### Step 5

- **Reward**: But from what I recall,
she came into direct contact with a Black Stone... only once.


### Step 6

- **Objective**: I was just pursuing my own adventure.

- **Summary**: Indeed, you always stay true to yourself.
I suppose you're about to set off on another adventure?
Speaking of which, there's a matter I've been investigating personally. 
I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.
Do you recall when 
Lady Isobelle collapsed at the wheat plantation?
Her condition at that time was indeed due to Black Stone poisoning.
There was no doubt about it.
Professor Gorgath suggested it might be due to
prolonged exposure to Black Stones.


### Step 7

- **Dialogue**: Adventurer, on behalf of House Encarotia,
I want to express my gratitude to you once again.
