[Everfrost] Valencia's Purpose

The Kingdom of Valencia's current ruling despot, Prince Barhan Nesser! What's wrong? Stunned by his greatness? I expected more clapping. Hahaha! What can I say, your boy's got connections! So, uh...you go first. Tell them you're with me, and they won't kick you out.

Hahaha! What can I say, your boy's got connections! So, uh...you go first. Tell them you're with me, and they won't kick you out.

Who'd have thought we'd reunite here of all places? You are well? And you're the mercenary our friend brought in? Interesting indeed... For our paths to cross here...it must be Aal's will. But enough pleasantries. What do you need? {ChangeScene(SnowyMain_022)}Huh? You... know this person? {ChangeScene(SnowyMountain_NPC_50889)}... I see. The trials of the six witches...! As a boy, my mother, Queen Marumin, would tell me tales of her homelands. And my great-uncle's letters suddenly come to mind. Their contents left a deep impression on me.... ... Is that really all that you want from me? I'm capable of providing so much more, especially for you. {ChangeScene(SnowyMain_023)}If that's the case... I will give him to you as your reward! ... me? What are you even saying? You can't just....!? {ChangeScene(SnowyMountain_NPC_50889)}Do you think I would entrust this quest to just anyone? {ChangeScene(SnowyMountain_NPC_50888)}A preliminary investigation is essential to employment. First son of the Khan, leader of the Demibeast's homeland, due to your status, you have permission to go where you please, even to areas prohibited to fellow Demibeasts. {ChangeScene(SnowyMountain_NPC_50889)}On top of that, as heir of the Khan, you must know the lay of the land better than anyone. {ChangeScene(SnowyMain_022)}I...never studied anything like that... But, knowing you picked me after such thorough consideration, I'm quite touched! {ChangeScene(SnowyMain_023)}Then by offering him as your reward, am I not mutually benefitting all parties? With this, we can now summarize our situation thusly. I wish to find my mother's "memento" through our friend here. He's looking for someone to climb the Mountain of Eternal Winter, and you are in need of someone that knows these lands. {ChangeScene(SnowyMain_022)}...Uh...? Seems fine, I guess? But why do I still feel like I lost...?
