The Southern Forest's Mutations

I don't know if you've had the chance to look around since being deployed to this continent.

You've heard about our Capella forces being stationed in the southern forest, right?

The destructive power that came from the tower really turned the southern forest into a strange place.

• What could be powerful enough to change half of the entire continent...?

Judging from the southern forest, it looks like there's more and more transformation on Senillinea.

We can't stop it from happening any more.

• Well, what do we need to do?

The most important mission of the Capella soldiers is to discover just how much influence that power has had.

We need to figure out what kind of power it is and what will happen in the future by studying the mutated plants growing in the southern forest.

• Listen to the next story.

Please collect some of the unique plants that only grow in the southern forest.

Also, please deliver the plants to Leedy so he can analyze them.

• I'll go gather some plants first. (accepts the quest)

It's a strange plant that no longer retains its original form.

When carefully approached, it starts to shake its leaves in a threatening manner, almost as if it recognizes people.

Hmm, it looks like it might be poisonous.

Go and get a different plant.

• Search for a different plant.

It's a flower with beautiful petals.

From a distance, it just looked pretty. Upon closer inspection, the color makes it look full of blood.

... That appears to be the case. There's a human skull behind it?!

• Search for a different plant.

It's a beautiful tree that emits an odd light.

• Let's try touching it.

There's a low vibration.

Inside the tree's knot are glowing stones.

It seems to be drawing a strange power from its roots.

This tree could be the key to southern forest's mutations.

• Let's take one of the Gleaming Stones out of the knot.

Ah, Warrior. You're back.

I heard from the Sage that you're studying the mutations.

It's been quite a while since I've been able to set foot on Senillinea.

• Why don't you go back?

Hehe, I might get struck with a rock and die if I go back there!

They all think that the tower exploded because of me!

It's actually not all that far from the truth.

I told you that the Sage came searching for me on Senillinea, right?

• Yes, that's right.

The first Nevarethians to arrive in Senillinea weren't the sages.

They were from an organization called Prometheus.

I was selected by that group as a special talent to work on research within the tower.

• Prometheus!!!

They always used to talk about an ASC Controller and Absolute Soul Core.

I was too young to know at the time. I had no idea what they were talking about.

I just did experiments, as they ordered.

• So, what happened?

What happened?

They brought these two psychics to the tower and I did the experiment as planned.

I don't know if it was for better or for worse, but the experiment wasn't a success.

It caused a large explosion at the tower.

Frightened, the organization took the psychics and left this continent.

• So that's what caused the explosion.

Me and a few other researchers were isolated inside the tower.

Since then, the two sages took the psychics and came back to this tower.

Accompanied by a man named Turner.

• Turner and the two sages went to the tower!

I only did my research as ordered.

Have you heard of this saying before? Sometimes ignorance can be a crime.

Kids say all kinds of things, right? Haha.

I may be young, but I've done a lot of things for my age.

• Leedy, your only crime is that you're too young.

Ah, I've talked too much.

I'll do my best to analyze those things you brought.

There's probably no one else who would work as hard as me, right? Haha.

• Give the stone to Leedy.

I don't think the results will be that good.

Still, it would be nice if things turned out well.

I have a lot of good memories from my early childhood.

The residents of Senillinea were so simple and nice.

It would be great if things could return to the way they were.
