Dialogue

Villager Dialogue

Are you here to deal with us as well?
Hmm, you don't look like a guard...
Haha, then... Welcome, I say!
Did you sneak in here like we did as well?
If you're looking for the villager's belongings, you've come to the right place.
They might not seem like much, but someone's always willing to pay the price!
Particularly since these items were originally from areas that are off-limits,
they all sell like hotcakes on the black market!
Huh? How was it before I set up shop here? Well... this place was pretty empty.
It was mostly cleared out, but I remember seeing damaged pieces of wooden carvings.
Would you like to see them? They've seen too much wear and tear for a sale, though.
See this? I think it was a sea turtle, or a whale? There are many more like this.
Oh, there was also something that looked like a letter of sorts...
Hehe, if you want it, then you have to pay the price. A million silver coins!
What do you say? I'd say that's a bargain
to obtain a piece of someone's past, no?

Villager Dialogue (Alt)

Nothing in the world is free!

Black Spirit Completion

So much Silver for a worn piece of paper!?
And we wouldn't even have blinked an eye if he hadn't mentioned the wooden carvings...
Hehe, let's take a look at it anyway.
A wooden carving and a letter... ring any bells?
