Find a Solution

Go to Alchemist Tiu of Altinova. Ask about ore and the solution. If you can handle it right away, do it immediately and if not, send whatever is needed to me. Altinova will lead in investigating the accident in the Lava Cave... But if you can handle at your level, that would be great. As you see, there's always a state of tension here, so it isn't easy to allocate any troops. We will need some time until we act formally. Show this letter to Tiu. He will cooperate if he sees my seal.

What would be the most efficient way...?

This is... I haven't even heard of this. Such precious ore... There must already be an uproar in the academia circles... Wait, a freaky creature appeared as you entered the lava? I don't know the details, but... it seems it's related to the Black Ore. Since you're from Calpheon, you've probably seen plenty of bizarre Black Ore phenomena. For example, possessed humans or infectious diseases. These phenomena have something in common. That Black Ore fuses with natural resources. It's attacking humans on the basis of fused resources. There's no way to identify the ore as of now, so accurate investigation is difficult. The lava cave situation this time is in the same vein. Though it is a hypothesis, we should report to the academics and gather opinions.
