Dialogue

Carpuro Dialogue

The Old Moon Guild only asked the
Serendian soldiers to excavate the ruins.
Whenever they discover ancient artifacts, the Old Moon Guild
takes the artifact to the tribespeople and they decipher what's written.
In return, the tribespeople get crow coins.
Not silver or food. Why would they need Crow Coins?
Oh, and one more thing to mention.
The soldiers kept singing a song called "Missing Scholar".
I heard that there was a woman who was hired by captain Carpuro
with the permission of the Old Moon Guild...

Carpuro Dialogue (Alt)

You should talk to
captain Carpuro for the details.

Carpuro Completion

I heard that you are Jordine's inspectorate.
Jordine and I were friends when we were young.
Sigh, are they still singing that song? I forbade them
from singing it. I guess they can't hide their anxiousness.
