Dialogue

Quest Description

According to Vermeer, his lost paints and brushes are at a viewing spot that he previously visited. If you examine the two paintings carefully, you should be able to figure out where he painted them...
Vermeer, an artist who is looking for inspirational material near Luhua Pool, seems to have hit a snag, and is looking for help...

Introduction

(Talk to Vermeer)

Vermeer: Oh, this is terrible. How will I paint like this...?

What's wrong?

Vermeer: You... Oh, it's you, Traveler. Well, here's the problem: I've been looking for inspiration around the Luhua Pool, and I wanted to paint a few pictures to bring back with me.

Vermeer: But I haven't been able to find a good angle, and so none of my paintings have been to my satisfaction.

Vermeer: I was so focused on taking the scenery in that I only realized that most of my paintbrushes and paints had gone missing when I arrived here.

Vermeer: I must have left them in the previous posts where I'd painted pictures. Could you help me look for them?

Where did you paint those pictures?

Vermeer: Uh, actually... I don't quite remember myself. I was too engrossed in my painting each time to pay my surroundings much mind, so I can't give you very specific locations...

But where do I start?

Vermeer: I was too engrossed in my paintings each time to pay attention to my surroundings, so I can't remember any specifics...

Vermeer: But I've only painted two pictures in this area, so it can only be in those two places.

Vermeer: I'll give you these two paintings. I'm sure that I must have left my painting tools in the areas I was using as a reference for those paintings.

Vermeer: Once you've found them, please bring them back to me. I'll keep looking around here... I'm sure there's a better angle to take.

(Talk to Vermeer again): Vermeer: I should bring more materials to paint with next time...; Vermeer: Or maybe I should keep a memo of the things I lose instead...

Search for painting tools

(Find the spot for either Black and White Sketch or Color Sketch): Paimon: Right, here we are. This should be the spot that was used as a scene in the painting.

(Collect Vermeer's Paintbrushes): Paimon: We found it! This must be the brush that the artist is looking for.

(Collect Vermeer's Paints): Paimon: Are these the paints that the artist is looking for? So many colors... Well, let's get them back to the artist and see what he says.

Give painting tools back to Vermeer

(Return to Vermeer): Vermeer: Have you found my painting tools?; Yup.; Vermeer: Just as I thought, I left them in the place I was taking references from. I tend to put the things I've used on the ground while I paint out of habit.; Vermeer: When I'm in too much of a rush, I tend to leave a lot of things behind. Thank you so much. If not for you, I'd have to back into the city to buy more.; You're going to continue painting here?; Vermeer: Don't even mention it. I've heard people say that these two statues have eyes that could light up, and that you could see that from afar.; Vermeer: Giant statues with blazing eyes, standing guard next to a mountain... It would surely have made an excellent painting.; Vermeer: But when I came here, the statues were here, but there were no shining eyes to be found.; Vermeer: I thought that I might have missed some special timing, or that my angle was off, which is why I've been walking around.; Vermeer: But it seems that no matter where I stand, the scenery doesn't change...; Vermeer: The only thing I've gotten out of the whole venture is this — I found it in the pond down there...

If you have not yet found a Strange Stone

(Continue from earlier dialogue): Vermeer: I have no idea what it is, but the more I look at it, the more it resembles an eye.; Vermeer: But if this is an eye, then there might be another similar rock nearby. People do have two eyes, after all...; Vermeer: *sigh* That's my conjecture, anyway. Don't think too hard about it. This rock's of little use to me, anyway, so why don't you have it? Consider it thanks for helping me find my tools.; Vermeer: Statues with shining eyes... I wonder what secrets one can uncover in Luhua Pool?

(Talk to Vermeer again): Vermeer: How will I find that one perfect view...; Regarding that rock...; Vermeer: About the rock? Why are you suddenly interested in that?; Vermeer: I picked it up while looking for a good view in Luhua Pool.; Vermeer: Do you want to go to Luhua Pool to have a look?; Vermeer: You'll have to keep a close eye out. There's all sorts of things in that pool, and I have no idea who threw it in there...

If you already found a Strange Stone

(Continue from earlier dialogue): Hmm, I found one too...; Vermeer: Did you? Let me have a look. Why, I never — they're identical.; Vermeer: Strange. There are even words carved into the back. Now, what do they say...; Vermeer: "The stone sentinels hold the gate as such, against those who add not a finishing touch..." What does this mean?; Vermeer: Well, this rock's of little use to me, anyway, so why don't you have it? Consider it thanks for helping me find my tools.; Vermeer: Actually, I have a thought. It's just a wild guess, but don't you think these two rocks look a bit like eyes?; Vermeer: If they really are eyes, do you think that the "finishing touch" has something to do with these two stones.; Vermeer: Well, it's just a guess, so don't think too hard about it. I'm going to look for other view, now — thanks for finding my tools for me!

(Talk to Vermeer again): Vermeer: This isn't right... This can't be right. Those statues' eyes don't light up...; Vermeer: Is my viewfinding technique wrong somehow? No, that can't be it...; Vermeer: Eyes... What eyes? This statue doesn't have any at all.

Search for Strange Stone

(Search in the pond) (spot 1): Paimon: Erm, what's something like this doing in a pond...

(Search in the pond) (spot 2): Paimon: Who tossed these in here...

(Search in the pond) (spot 3 with Strange Stone): Paimon: Huh, what's this? Is it a rock?

Conclusion

(After slotting both Strange Stones into the statues): Vermeer: Oh... So that's how it is! These two rocks really are the eyes of the two statues. Their eyes will only shine once you've slotted those stones in...; Vermeer: Looks like I'll be able to paint something great after all! I'm off to find a good angle! Thank you so much!
