Dialogue

Neruda Shen Dialogue

What do you think will happen to the people on the ship
if Gongklad succeeds with his plan? Hehe.
By the way... You don't think he'll keep his word, do you?
If he breaks his promise, we'll be the only ones losing out.
Why don't we just betray him first?
Let's inform the Shen Merchant Guild and get our share.
(There will be numerous casualties if you ignore Gongklad's plan.
You can inform Neruda Shen to stop this.)

Let's return to Altinova. Shen Merchant Guild
will pay us well if we inform them, right?

Neruda Shen Completion

Our merchant ship is in danger? What are you talking about?
Are you saying that the Sausans have targeted our ship?
Where did you even hear such information?
At Sausan Garrison?
Hmm... You're an adventurer, so it does make sense.
Thank you so much. That merchant ship is extremely important for us.
We'll make sure we're ready for it.
Please let us know if you obtain more information.
