Suspicious Ring I

I traveled all the way to the city to buy a ring for my daughter, but somewhere around here, I must've dropped it... I swear it was right here—why can't I find it? I just wanted to give her something special for her coming-of-age... But now, what am I to do? To lose it like this... oh dear... Adventurer, could you help me search for it?

I only wanted to see her smile... and yet, it seems I'll let her down once again...

If you uncover more curiosities, bring them straight to me. Genius aiding genius—perfect, isn't it? Wait, wait... someone bought this as a gift for their daughter?! Where exactly did they get it? I need to see that place for myself. Bet it's overflowing with artifacts worth researching! Go back and ask that person for the details!
