Dialogue

Tulem Dialogue

My mistake.
I shouldn't have told you to ask those dumbos.
Let's ask someone smart.
There's a guy who does alchemy in northern Altinova.
Mixing and heating stuff up is all he does.
I'm sure he knows something about the Black Stone.

Tulem Dialogue (Alt)

I'm gonna reveal the secret
and make the best weapon there is!

Tiu Completion

Of course, I do not know everything there is
about the Black Stone.
One thing for sure is that
it's a material with unlimited potential.
What I am currently studying is
how the Black Stone changes people.
The study has been going quite well,
but I cannot say anything concrete at this stage.
