Stellar Jade x 30, Trailblaze EXP x 100, Credit x 6000, Sparse Aether x 6, Shield x 100

Trailblaze an adventure

📍 Jarilo-VI Boulder Town

Those on the Path of Trailblaze will encounter all kinds of strange people and odd anecdotes during the journey. Not only do these trivial stories fill up trailblazers' journals, but they also deepen their connections to all worlds.

Julian, I've got your stuff here.

Julian

I heard Hook say that she took you adventuring in Rivet Town just to find my marbles.

Julian

Thank you very much, {F#miss}{M#mister}, but don't read too much into it. That's not enough for you to be the second-in-command of The Moles. You gotta get past me — and I ain't planning on giving up my position just yet!

Julian

...O—okay. Just give me my stuff.

Options

(Hand over Julian's things to him)

Julian

Is all of this my stuff? Thank you, {M#mister}{F#miss}! These glass marbles I won... Are these also mine? "For Julian, in 50 years' time"?

Julian

...Ah, that's the key for the iron gates behind the business street. No one needs it anymore. Thank you so much!

Julian

You've given me so much stuff, {M#mister}{F#miss}. I have to give you something too — well, how about this copy of The Adventurous Moles?

Options

The Adventurous Moles?

Julian

Oh? {M#Mister}{F#Miss}, do you know about The Adventurous Moles too?

Options

I love it!

Sorry, I haven't read it.

I can't say I like it.

Julian

I read The Adventurous Moles every night before going to bed. My dreams are full of fun adventures!

Julian

Wait, you're not pretending to like it, are you... let me ask you, who are the three protagonists in the book?

Options

I confess I haven't read it.

They are a trio that went to a wizarding school...

March 7th, Dan Heng and me.

Julian

I knew it, you have to read The Adventurous Moles. It is full of fun adventures.

Julian

Hmm, interesting, but you're totally wrong! You should do better and read The Adventurous Moles. It is full of fun adventures.

Julian

Hmph, you are such a cheeky grownup. You should do better and read The Adventurous Moles.

Julian

Then you have to read it. It's full of interesting adventures!

Julian

Stop pretending. You haven't actually read it at all, have you? Tell me who the three protagonists are in the book.

Options

I confess I haven't read it.

Julian

I knew it, you have to read The Adventurous Moles. It is full of fun adventures.

Julian

Hmm, interesting, but you're totally wrong! You should do better and read The Adventurous Moles. It is full of fun adventures.

Julian

Hmph, you are such a cheeky grownup. You should do better and read The Adventurous Moles.

Julian

There are all kinds of stories in The Adventurous Moles... But this edition is a bit strange. It's only got the preface and the table of contents. Here, read the preface.

📖

Preface

Julian

The author said in the preface "If you follow the clues in the table of contents, you can find the corresponding locations, where you can collect the pages of the book."...

Julian

It seems to be saying that this edition is meant to have book pages, but they are hidden somewhere, and we have to use the table of contents to find clues about those hidden pages.

📖

Table of Contents

Julian

Look at the chapter "The Missing Miner's Lamp". It says: "In the Great Mine of Boulder Town..." Is that where some of the missing pages are?

Julian

I haven't found anything, and I'm not even sure whether it's really true. But {M#mister}{F#miss}, if you'd like to know more about The Adventurous Moles, then I can tell you all about that.

Options

What is The Adventurous Moles about?

What is so interesting about The Adventurous Moles?

Who's the lead in The Adventurous Moles?

Let me go and see.

Julian

The Adventurous Moles has all kinds of great adventures. The Moles would often go into primitive jungles, lost cities, and even outer space...

Options

Is there a jungle in Belobog?

Do you believe in the stuff written in the book?

Julian

Do grownups have no imagination? The adventures can be fictional, you know.

Julian

Of course I do!

Julian

You probably think the things written in children's books are made up. Humph, you grownups just don't know better.

Julian

All the protagonists in the story are children, but they often achieve things that adults cannot do. And when I read The Adventurous Moles, I feel like I'm on an adventure, too.

Julian

The author always calls the reader "the fourth little mole," so I am also a member of The Moles.

Options

Adventure stories are indeed fun to read.

Is that how you guys got the name "The Moles"?

I see. So it's a fairy tale for naughty kids.

Julian

Oh, how I wish I could go on an epic adventure in a fantasy world of magic and swords, with my very own emergency food!

Julian

...I am not telling you.

Julian

Humph, you big grownup dum-dum don't know anything.

Julian

Don't you even know the three little moles?

Julian

There's Becky, who is so independent and much cooler than boys; Carbine, who is good at invention and crafting; and Pava, who is strong!

Julian

{M#Mister}{F#Miss}, look, the Great Mine is mentioned in the table of contents. Maybe there's something there?

About The Adventurous Moles...

Julian

Wow! {M#Mister}{F#Miss}, I never expected you to actually find one of the pages of The Adventurous Moles.

Julian

{M#Mister}{F#Miss}, maybe you can track down all the rest of missing pages with clues from the table of contents!

Options

What benefits would there be if I find all the pages?

I don't know where to look. Help me.

Julian

You go find those pages so that you can let me read them.

Julian

...But I know what you mean. There's nothing in it for you at all. Only thinking of benefits — grownups are so greedy for cheap thrills.

Julian

If you ask me again nicely, I might think about it.

Options

Please.

Hmph, you cheeky little brat.

Julian

Fine, I'll be generous this time.

Julian

But I don't know where to look either. Otherwise, I would have found them myself. What would I need you for?

Julian

Hmph, you big grownup dum-dum. It's not like I wanted to tell you in the first place.

Julian

But seriously, {M#Mister}{F#Miss}, I'm actually starting to look forward to reading all those pages now. Please come and find me whenever you've found them all.

About The Adventurous Moles...

Julian

Hmm? So you wanna know where you can find the rest of the missing pages? Well, since you asked nicely, I'll tell you all about it. But don't come blame me if I get anything wrong.

Julian

There are still three more chapters listed in The Adventurous Moles's table of contents. Which one do you want to ask about?

Options

The Unexpected Parchment?

"The Crates Are the Keys"?

Treasure Hunt on the Battlefield?

I don't have any other questions.

Julian

"At an open-air café in Backwater Pass..."

Julian

Backwater Pass, hmmm...? Is that up in the Overworld? And what is an open-air café...

Julian

...Don't even try to ask me more. I wouldn't know. You probably should go there to take a look for yourself, and you'll find out soon enough.

Julian

"In a Rivet Town where storage shelves are placed..."

Julian

"Rivet Town... a cave with storage shelves..." Could that be Dr. Natasha's pharmacy, next to the orphanage?

Julian

...Don't even try to ask me more. I wouldn't know. You probably should go there to take a look for yourself, and you'll find out soon enough.

Julian

"...the trenches deep in the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone, on the way to the Snow Plains..."

Julian

The Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone... is that their base? If it leads to the Snow Plains, would that be right in the deepest part of the base?

Julian

...Don't even try to ask me more. I wouldn't know. You probably should go there to take a look for yourself, and you'll find out soon enough.

Julian

Alright. {M#Mister}{F#Miss}, remember to come find me once you've found every page.

Tell Julian your progress with The Adventurous Moles

You've already collected all the pages that you could find from The Adventurous Moles. You are probably the first one to have done so. Tell Julian the good news.

I collected all of The Adventurous Moles...

Julian

WOW! Did you really find them all?

Julian

... Hey? Isn't there a page of postscript you haven't found yet?

Options

I don't know where to find the postscript.

Who reads the postscript anyway?

Julian

I happen to have the postscript here. There you go, take it.

Julian

Now you have collected the whole book of The Adventurous Moles, great job. You did great, {M#Mister}{F#Miss}, I myself wouldn't have the patience to find all these missing pages.

Options

Where did you find the postscript?

Surely, you're not that impatient?

Don't you want to read the whole book?

Julian

I didn't find it. I've been going on adventures with The Moles every day. I don't have time to look for The Adventurous Moles.

Julian

The postscript was given to me by big sister Natasha. You happened to be missing it, so I gave it to you.

Julian

Hum! Everyone knows that kids are all impatient.

Julian

Besides, the author writes very slowly. I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the next book.

Julian

I have a question for you. The more I look forward to something, the longer I have to wait. Is time being slowed down by expectations?

Options

Expectation does make waiting longer.

No, the author is just being lazy.

Julian

Hey, then I should look forward to it less.

Julian

... Can I even manage to do that, I wonder?

Julian

I see. It seems that I just made an excuse for adults.

Julian

...I do want to read it, but it's boring if it's just me by myself.

Julian

Oh, {M#mister}{F#miss}, since you've already collected all the pages for The Adventurous Moles, why don't we bundle them up and give them to a publisher? That way, all children in Belobog can read it.

Options

Great idea.

Yet even more errands to run...

Julian

{M#Mister}{F#Miss}, you'll definitely hit a payday if you hand the manuscript to a publisher.

Julian

Go on, then! The Moles and I can't wait to see the new book getting published.

Give all the pages to Nika the publisher

📍 Jarilo-VI Administrative District

Julian hands you the postscript to The Adventurous Moles. With that, you now have the whole storybook. Upon Julian's recommendation, you decide to submit this children's adventure book for publication and sale. Nika the publisher works in the Administrative District up in the Overworld. Go and inquire with her.

I collected all of The Adventurous Moles...

Nika

Huh? Do you mean The Adventurous Moles, the book? Could you let me have a look at it first, please?

Options

(Give the pages to Nika)

Nika

...I never thought this would be real.

Nika

I loved reading The Adventurous Moles when I was a kid, especially the bits about the rainforest and the desert... As if those things really existed.

Options

In the real world, there's only snow outside.

These actually do exist.

Nika

But people's imaginations can far surpass the wind and the snow...

Nika

Hahaha, there are so many readers who are just like you, believing these writings to be real-life events.

Nika

But, hey, that's the charm of children's stories.

Nika

I do want to put together and publish The Adventurous Moles: Hidden Treasure. I know you're not the author, so I can't pay out any royalties to you, but here's a little something for you. Take it.
