Is this where you've been this whole time?

Don't make me come all the way over here just to fetch you!

You've already heard everything, right? Let's go!

What?

What do you mean you don't know?

Tsch, those nincompoops from Summoners' Hall. Don't they know to inform people of their missions?

Well, whatever. Since I'm so nice and all...

...I'll tell you what you're supposed to be doing.

We're gonna put those few brain cells you have left to good use, so listen up.

Recently, in the region that the Summoners' Hall has been investigating, there's this rumor...

...that I'm sure you haven't heard yet, since you're so dumb.

But a long time ago, there lived a tyrannical empress who ruled over the area.

And there's a treasure linked to this empress...

...that's apparently hidden in the "Great Tree of Life."

The empress is said to have entrusted this treasure to one of her loyal sorcerers.

And though it's a mere story, it looks like this great treasure has some pretty strong magical power.

So, since those geezers from the Hall couldn't just ignore a rumor like that...

...they've asked great Summoners, like yours truly, to investigate such gossip.

And you have been appointed as my subordinate.

To be honest, I didn't wanna have to see your ugly mug.

But it was an order from the Hall, so there was nothing I could really do about it.

I'm gonna work you like a horse, so you should be grateful.
