Turn-in: Markus (Guard)
Oh...It's so desolate. Desolate it is! How can today be like yesterday, and yesterday like tomorrow?
I feel so lethargic. I must be getting old.
Ha-ha! But you look like you're filled with energy. Ha-ha!
What is it? Is there something you want to tell me?
- I want to learn about the Art of Destruction.
Mhahahaha! What? Did you just say the Art of Destruction?
I can't believe there is still someone who would mention it.
There is nothing artistic about the Art of Destruction...It's not something that deserves such a fancy name...and I don't understand what's all the fuss about! Tut!
Do you really want to know about the Art of Destruction?
- Yes. I'm curious. Please tell me right now.
Hmm...It's not like I have something to do right now...I might as well kill some time by telling you an old story then. Hahahahaha!
Like I said, there is nothing artistic about the Art of Destruction! A long time ago, a painting was discovered at an ancient historical site.
It was an oil painting of countless stars spread out like flowers in full bloom in the night sky, and it was quite an elaborate painting. And it was well-preserved too.
But the thing is that when they took a closer look, they found that it was no ordinary painting.
- No ordinary painting?
Right. A very small button was hidden among the countless starts, and they pressed the button, a clear image of something showed up in the air.
Wow! This is where you get to appreciate the brilliant technology of the ancient civilization! To have a clear image float in the air with a single click of a button! Isn't that great or what?
We don't even know how it works. No wonder everyone is trying to excavate the ancient historical sites.
- The image! What did it look like?
Oh, that's right! I have strayed off a little. Hahaha!
According to the person who saw the image, it was an illustration of a war between monsters who tried to conquer the ancient civilization and humans who tried to get rid of them.
And in the last scene, the machine monsters running wild were completely destroyed by the battle weapons of humans, and it was identical to the scene depicted in the painting.
That's when they understood that the little shining objects are not really stars but pieces of metal from the giant machines.
- Oh, is that why it's called the Art?
Yes, that's right!
They said something like they fell in love with the beautiful sight of the moment when the greedy machine monsters were shattered into pieces.
Tut! They're still nothing more than chunks of metal. It's no art...Tut!
Anyway, at that moment, people thought that all the machine monsters became extinct. But after the Great Destruction and historical site excavations took place, they found machine monsters all over the place, and even their number rose to form something called the Metal Clan.
Oh...they do know how to stay alive...They really do...Whew!
- I agree. Anyway, thank you for your story. (completes the quest)
