Locations
Dialogue
- (Talk to both scholars)
- Serious Scholar: Greetings. Please retrieve for us an object that can be defined as a "Tree Seed." It is located in a place difficult to reach by foot, with a stone platform bearing the Hand of Zagreus within view.
- Earnest Scholar: We, lack control. God of Trickery, despised. Aid requested. Gratitude.
Quickly now, this place is dangerous.
- Serious Scholar: We Grove scholars are not so fragile. To us, research is worth far more than life itself.
- Serious Scholar: This Tree Seed represents the culmination of years of effort by the Lotophagists — a long-anticipated project titled "Why Seeds Are a Precious Resource." It must be brought back safely.
- Earnest Scholar: Our... efforts, and Amphoreus'... future.
- You all have a weird way of talking.
- Serious Scholar: I am a scholar of Nodism, dedicated to the pursuit of linguistic precision. The unfamiliarity you sense stems precisely from this, as expected. As for this one...
- Earnest Scholar: I, an Erythrokeramist, am a believer in natural language. Studied the ways of the Mountain Dwellers. The results are evident.
- Serious Scholar: As you can see. Pay no mind — it's just a tedious rivalry of schools.
Alright, I'll be back shortly.- Serious Scholar: Thank you. May Cerces safeguard your thoughts.
- (After retrieving the Seed)
- (Talk to both scholars again)
- Serious Scholar: So? Did you retrieve the object defined as a "Tree Seed"? Please hand it over to me.
- Earnest Scholar: Judging... by facial expressions, you have. Don't give it to him. Give it to me. Reward for you.
- Now, here's the question — who will you give the Seed to?
- Tell me, what's so great about the Seed?
- Serious Scholar: What's so great? How could academic work be called "great"? Within it lies the mystery of life, the metaphysical essence, the painstaking efforts of generations of scholars — a crystallization of pure reason!
- Earnest Scholar: Don't listen. Empty talk. Seed... plant in soil. Yield... 17,000 per acre. Solve... lighting crisis.
I decide...- Serious Scholar: Give it to me. I'll credit you as the second author in my final report and express sincere gratitude for your virtue in the acknowledgments. From then on, you'll have a publication in one of the Grove's core journals.
- Earnest Scholar: Give it to me. I offer you... Balance Coins. Degree. Cannot trade... for unpaid effort.
- Give the Seed to the serious scholar.
- Serious Scholar: Good choice. This is the attitude every true seeker of knowledge should have. Watch for my paper's publication — you'll find your name in it, I promise!
- It's only now you realize — the scholar never asked for your name...
- Give the Seed to the earnest scholar.
- Earnest Scholar: Good. Amphoreus... poor lighting. We... must find solutions. Here... take these flowers.
