• ^0000ffLooking incredibly excited, the old man ran into the marine shop hurriedly ordering goods. You don't have anything better to do, so you decide to ask him why he is in such a rush.^000000

  Script requirement

• ^0000ffThe old man, after finishing his orders, walks towards you.^000000

  Script requirement

• [Captain Janssen] I was touched when you accepted a request from me, a stranger, so easily. You must truly be one of those good, heroic adventurers. Are you interested in setting out on an ocean voyage?

  Script requirement

• [ I've sailed a few times... But now that I think about it, I've never gone across the continent.

  Script requirement

• [Captain Janssen] No, that's good enough. I may just have one small fishing vessel, but I used to be a captain that commanded a fleet.

  Script requirement

• [Captain Janssen] As you may know after a few sea voyages, not many people have gone across the ocean beyond the continent. I too have failed to conquer the ocean.

  Script requirement

• ^0000ffMr. Janssen talked about his perilous ocean journeys for quite a while. You have enough time on your hands, so you sit down, quietly listening to his story.^000000

  Script requirement

• ^0000ffAt least half of his story sounded grossly exaggerated, but something caught your ear: he insists that a humongous tower exists on the ocean, and that it's so tall, it scrapes across the sky.^000000

• [Captain Janssen] So all I could do was cast anchor at that humongous tower after my fleet was wrecked. At first, we were only going to stay there until the rainstorm was over, but it didn't end as soon as we had hoped.

• [Captain Janssen] My crew was starving, and a few of them walked into the tower in order to find food... They never came back.

• [ Why didn't you go in there with them?

• [Captain Janssen] My instincts told me that tower was dangerous. I was curious, but I wasn't going to risk my life. We waited for them to come back for 7 days until the rainstorm was finally over, but no one returned.

• [Captain Janssen] In our desperation to survive, we abandoned all our goods, and left the tower only with a little bit of the water and edible plants we'd found around the tower. When we finally reached land, I was the only one alive...

• ^0000ffYou could imagine the heartwretching scene of the dying fleet on their last voyage, even if he didn't explain it any further. A look of somber regret swept over his face as he remained silent a while, and then he said:^000000

• [Captain Janssen] I have something I must do before I die. I must retrieve the remains of my crew that died in the tower, and give them a proper burial.

• [Captain Janssen] I feel so lucky to meet a warm-hearted adventurer like you. With the money you've given me, I can finally go sailing to the tower again.

• [ How about hiring me as your first mate?

• [Captain Janssen] Thank you, but it is an extremely dangerous place. I have my duty to fulfill, but you don't have any obligation to me or them. I don't wish to sacrifice someone as young as you to such a dangerous place.

• [ No... . . As an adventurer, there's my obligation to those in need. I'm also very curious about that place...

• [Captain Janssen] I was going to leave right away, but since you've joined me, I should give you time to prepare. I'll be waiting here until you're ready to go.

• [Captain Janssen] ...Okay then... Welcome aboard, first mate.

• [Captain Janssen] Well, to travel the ocean again, we need to restock on goods. If you give me 10,000 Zeny, I'll take care of the rest.

• 1

  I'll come back later.

  [ I'm sorry, but I don't have that much money. I'll come back when I save enough.

• [Captain Janssen] Excuse me, are you an adventurer?

• [Captain Janssen] I'm sorry to ask you this, especially when this is the first time we've ever met, but can you do me a favor? I'll make it short.

• [Captain Janssen] Can you donate ^0000ff10,000 Zeny^000000 to me? It's for a cause that's important to me...

• 1

  No!

  [ I'm sorry, but you've got the wrong person to ask that.

  • [ I'm sorry, but you've got the wrong person to ask that.

  • [Captain Janssen] I see... Sorry to bother you. I understand it was too rude to ask something like that to begin with.

  Sure thing.

  [Captain Janssen] Huh? Are you sure that you don't mind giving me that much money? Wow, thank you so much!
