Thats Bloody Hot

The most urgent thing is rescuing the Witch. Please focus on the rescue operation first...

(Only characters who have completed the Bird in a Cage quest may undertake this quest.)

Are you interested in Hellbound Island?

I'm sure there are many connections...

Not to mention the people of this Crystal Oracle who were taken captive...

That is because Hellbound is the stronghold of the notorious Beleth...

Is your business related to the Ivory Tower?

Or is it connected to the Giran aristocracy

I don't know what it is specifically, but you should reconsider carefully.

["An adventurer is supposed to seek out dangerous places. Don't worry -- just tell me how the reach Hellbound Island"]

If you really mean those words, then I suppose there is nothing I can do...

Actually, after receiving the Shamaness'letter, we began several investigations in order to learn the whereabouts of the people who are being held captive on Hellbound Island.

["Have you discovered anything?"]

Hellbound Island is surrounded by towering cliffs and some sort of magical ocean current which makes it impossible to enter through ordinary means.

["The how did the captives reach the island?"]

Presumably, Beleth used his powerful magic to teleport them to the island.

["Then is it impossible to enter without Beleth's permission?"]

Actually, a magician named Galate was dispatched from this Oracle's island tot he Ivory Tower in nearby Innadril.

The Ivory Tower sensed the growing magical power near Hellbound Island, and after an investigation, it discovered that the area was connected in some way to Beleth.

The Ivory Tower entrusted Galate with the special mission of discovering a method for breaking Beleth's powerful magic barrier and entering Hellbound Island.

["Hmm.. So perhaps there is a way to enter Hellbound Island secretly..."]

The manufactured crystal sample seems to be one of the special ingredients that she needs.

Since you also seem to be interested in Hellbound Island, I am sure that if you deliver the manufactured crystal sample to Galate and ask her about the method for reaching Hellbound Island, she will help you.

["Hmm, I understand"]

I will give you a sample of this manufactured crystal. Please deliver it to Galate in Innadril.

I am sure she will be happy to speak with you once you tell her that I sent you.

What's the matter?

Please don't interrupt if you have no business with me.

I'm occupied with very sensitive and important research at the moment.

[I'm here for Kanis]

Oh, you're here for Kanis, are you?

My apologies, but can I know that for sure?

My enemies would stop at nothing to get what I'm working on at the moment, and I really can't be too careful...

[Give the refined crystal sample from Kanis]

Hmm, what have we here? Oh, well, this certainly proves you are who you say you are, doesn't it?

I'm sorry to have doubted you, but I'm sure you understand my predicament.

Still, only a priest at the crystal oracle could craft a refined crystal sample like this.

[I heard that there's a way to get onto Hellbound Island without Beleth detecting it]

Yes... If u inject the energy from the refined crystal sample you just gave me into this magical equipment and activate it, you will be able to teleport to Hellbound Island without Beleth knowing.

(Galate activates the magical equipment using the refined crystal sample.)

Ah! You can safely move into Hellbound Island now.

Here, take this as a small token of my appreciation...

Thank you very much.

If you want to go to Hellbound Island, please come see me again.
