Scene 176

Noble

Hold on—could that be the navigational tool I dropped while exploring? I suppose that makes you an adventurer!

Noble

I see... If you were able to venture out to where I dropped that tool, then surely you'd also be capable of reaching those ruins...

Noble

Might I ask you to take on a request for me?

Noble

Did I catch you at a bad time? Well, come by again if you're able. I promise I'll make it worth your while.

Noble

Wonderful! I'm an explorer by trade, you see. I make my living by mapping out and studying uncharted ruins.

Noble

My skills with a blade are nothing compared to an adventurer's, though. My voyages tend to end with me being attacked and chased off by monsters.

Noble

Despite my pathetic prowess in battle, I still can't resist the siren call of exploration...

Noble

Try as I might, it always ends up the same—dropping and losing valuable equipment. You saw this for yourself.

Noble

I wound up dropping my most valuable belonging of all just the other day—my map.

Noble

Could I ask you to enter those ruins and retrieve that map for me?

Noble

Oh, thank you! This is where you can find the ruins. I owe you for this!
