Pre-Mission

(Talk to Julian)

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, (mister/miss), 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.

(Hand over Julian's things to him)

Julian: Is all of this my stuff? Thank you, (mister/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, (mister/miss). I have to give you something too — well, how about this copy of The Adventurous Moles?

The Adventurous Moles?

Julian: Oh? (Mister/Miss), do you know about The Adventurous Moles too?

I love 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?

I confess I haven't read it.

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

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

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

March 7th, Dan Heng and me.

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

Sorry, I haven't read it.

Julian: Then you have to read it. It's full of fun adventures!

I can't say I like it.

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

I confess I haven't read it.

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

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

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

March 7th, Dan Heng and me.

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.

(Opens 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.

(Opens 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 (mister/miss), if you'd like to know more about The Adventurous Moles, then I can tell you all about that.

What is The Adventurous Moles about?

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

Is there a jungle in Belobog?

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

Do you believe in the stuff written in the book?

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.

What is so interesting about The Adventurous Moles?

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.

Adventure stories are indeed fun to read.

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!

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

Julian: ...I am not telling you.

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

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

Who's the lead in The Adventurous Moles?

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!

Let me go and see.

Julian: (Mister/Miss), look, the Great Mine is mentioned in the table of contents. Maybe there's something there?

(New Mission The Adventurous Moles)

Search the area that might have pages of the book

Mission Description

Julian gives you a damaged book called The Adventurous Moles. You find clues about the rest of this book in its table of contents. Maybe you can find the whole book.
Then, maybe you can even find the treasure... Wait, this is just a book for kids. Don't take it seriously.

Great Mine

(Collect note)

(Opens The Missing Miner's Lamp)

(Obtain The Adventurous Moles: Hidden Treasure — The Missing Miner's Lamp

(Trailblazer): (Since I found the missing page here, then the riddle about the Miner's Lamp should be up ahead...)

Find the treasure according to the puzzle in the book

Step Description

Surprisingly, you find the lost pages of The Adventurous Moles here, and they contain a clue about the puzzle. Maybe you can try to solve it...
Now you're working on a puzzle found in a kid's book. How addicting, is this why the kids love it? You just need another puzzle piece!

Great Mine

(Trailblazer): (There are yet more riddles in the chapters of The Adventurous Moles...)

(Trailblazer): ("Miner's Lamp," "Let everything return to its original position, let the stars return to the sky"...)

(Trailblazer): (What exactly does that mean?)

(Leave and re-enter the mission area): (Trailblazer): ("Let everything return to its original position"... Does that mean that the miner's lamp is not in its original position?); (Trailblazer): (There seems to be a miner's lamp missing on the barbed wire...)

(After solving the puzzle): The base of the lamp quietly moved aside to suddenly reveal the precious treasure before your eyes, as if it was silently gazing at your actions.
(Rewards Bountiful Treasure)

Discuss the results of the investigation with Julian

Step Description

Through hints in the storybook, you find the treasure hidden by the author at the Great Mine. This children's adventure book has actual treasures on top of a great story. Go and tell Julian the news.

Boulder Town

(Talk to Julian)

About The Adventurous Moles...

Julian: Wow! (Mister/Miss), I never expected you to actually find one of the pages of The Adventurous Moles.

Julian: (Mister/Miss), maybe you can track down all the rest of the missing pages from the table of contents!

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

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.

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

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

Please.

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?

Hmph, you cheeky little brat.

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

Julian: But seriously, (Mister/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.

Find the remaining treasures based on the storybook's table of contents

Step Description

Based on the table of contents of The Adventurous Moles, there are still 3 chapters hidden at Backwater Pass, Rivet Town, and the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone respectively. If you find these missing pages, you can find clues to the treasure. Ask Julian if you have any questions. Once you've collected everything, talk to Julian.

Boulder Town

(Talk to Julian)

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 Mole's table of contents. Which one of you want to ask about?

The Unexpected Parchment?

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.

"The Crates Are the Keys"?

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.

Treasure Hunt on the Battlefield?

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.

I don't have any other questions?

Julian: Alright. (Mister/Miss), remember to come find me once you've found every page.

(Find The Unexpected Parchment in Backwater Pass)

(Obtain The Adventurous Moles: Hidden Treasure — "The Unexpected Parchment")

(Trailblazer): (Since I found the missing page here, the riddle should be in the café up ahead...)

(Trailblazer): (In the open-air café, there is only one chair that stands out... Where is it?)

(Leave and re-enter the mission area): (Trailblazer): (It can hide a person... It is talking about the height of the chair?)

(Investigate southwest table): (Trailblazer): (It shouldn't be here. It's no different from anywhere else.)

(Investigate southeast table): (Trailblazer): (It shouldn't be here. This can't block anything.)

(Investigate northeast table): (Trailblazer): (It shouldn't be here. Look elsewhere.)

(After solving the puzzle): The precious treasure suddenly appears before your eyes, as if it was waiting for a well-meaning person to put the chair back in place.
(Rewards Bountiful Treasure)

(Find "The Crates Are the Keys" in Rivet Town)

(Obtain The Adventurous Moles: Hidden Treasure — "The Crates Are the Keys")

(Trailblazer): (Since the missing pages were found here, the riddles about the crates and shelves should be up ahead...)

(Approach shelves): (Trailblazer): ("Shelves, crates, arrange, same"... What does that mean?); (Trailblazer): (The crates on the shelves on both sides seem to be movable...)

(Leave and re-enter the mission area): (Trailblazer): (It seems that the riddle on the crate has something to do with the things on the shelf here...)

(After solving the puzzle): The flat ground slowly bulges out before you and the precious treasure suddenly appears before your eyes, as if it was rewarding a curious child.
(Rewards Bountiful Treasure)

(Find Treasure Hunt on the Battlefield in Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone)

(Obtain The Adventurous Moles: Hidden Treasure — "Treasure Hunt on the Battlefield")

(Trailblazer): (Since I found the missing pages here, the riddles about the trenches and weapons should be up ahead...)

(Trailblazer): (The soldiers will check the four gun racks to make sure each has three guns... Go to the gun racks and have a look.)

(Leave and re-enter the mission area): (Trailblazer): (As long as you make sure there are three guns on each rack, switching around the order of the guns won't be a problem — right?)

(Investigate gun rack with three guns): (Trailblazer): (Three guns are placed up on the gun rack... This is just like in the book, so I'd better leave it alone...)

(After solving the puzzle): The sandbags seemingly placed at random give off a mechanical sound and the precious treasure suddenly appears before your eyes, as if it was encouraging diligent troops.
(Rewards Bountiful Treasure)

Tell Julian your progress with The Adventurous Moles

Step Description

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.

Boulder Town

(Talk to Julian)

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?

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, (Mister/Miss), I myself wouldn't have the patience to find all these missing pages.

Where did you find the postscript?

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.

Surely, you're not that impatient?

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?

Expectation does make waiting longer.

Julian: Hey, then I should look forward to it less.

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

No, the author is just being lazy.

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

Don't you want to read the whole book?

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

Julian: Oh, (mister/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.

Great idea.

Yet even more errands to run...

Julian: (Mister/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.

(Obtain The Adventurous Moles: Hidden Treasure — Postface)

Give all the pages to Nika the publisher

Step Description

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.

Administrative District

(Talk to Nika)

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?

(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.

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

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

These actually do exist.

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.

(Mission Completed)

Post-Mission

(Talk to Julian)

Did you buy The Adventurous Moles?

Julian: Yup, it's great. I read the whole thing in one night.

Julian: Well then, when's the author putting out the next book? Don't tell me they won't tie up all the loose ends? No way!

Such fickle readers.

Julian: Readers always have been fickle. How can grownups not understand this?

We want another book out NOW!

Julian: Correct, it'll be too late by the time I grow up!

Julian: Even though I'll keep reading it once I grow up... I don't care. Just give us a new book, author!

Julian: Thanks so much, (mister/miss). Everybody is super grateful. When you have the time, tell us all about your adventurous stories.
