Part 156: Zil Padon NPC Chatter 6

Welcome back!

Time to hit up the Mogay section.



: again! I just don't know! It really bothers me how much my brother loves festivals. Even after the Elder gave him a scolding recently. It's the pits how he makes me worry.



: My father says that the Elder's words are the will of the Mogay. But the word 'will' doesn't mean much to me either. If we work hard as the Elder says, maybe we'll come to understand the meaning of the 'will of the Mogay'.



: and the trading is so profitable. Yet if everyone took up trading, how would the Mogay feed themselves? If such a time were to come, surely the Elder would find a new business. Ha ha ha!



: The girl requested jewels. Surely she wanted earrings. Since she asked, those little ones. Sigh, packing for trips is hard. But if I forget something, I can't cross the desert for it.



: "Cheer returns to Gumbo" The eruptions began again at Gumbo where the volcano and the festival had grown dormant. Because the air has warmed, the rice crop is expected to reach normal levels. There are strong prospects that the price of rice will stabilize. The market is welcoming the news.

: "Pattern of increasing refugees" The number of refugees to this city has been increasing owing to the petrification attacking the villages. However, many Zil Padon residents are unaware of the refugee problem. The Mogay are appealing for everyone to take this problem more seriously.



: It is a shell necklace made in that village this will absolutely be the in thing from now on! Necklaces from Gumbo will be the new rage!



: Looking at both the old Zil Padon and Zil Padon of today, I could speak mountains. The one thing I want to say is that there's a lot going on, but this town is getting better. Long ago when I was still young, quarrels arose between the Alqada and the Rafane. There was a big fight then about too much water being used and the sunshine getting worse. Even now the fight goes on, but compared to long ago, it's still growing. The people living in the same town should get a little friendlier.



: They are more crisp and sweet than any carrots before. I'm surprised I did it myself. When you bite in, you get that refreshing feeling. These are ideal just like this. Until now, to heighten the sweetness, I used generations of the same strain of carrots. But therefore, I could never exceed the sweetness there had always been. So I experimented with different strains of carrots mixed in the rows. That produced these delicious ones. A new discovery! When you mix different things, it can go well, like this!

: Hang on. So you're saying that you've cured racism in carrots?



: Also, because they all work hard, they try to carry ever more goods, and that causes severe back pain. Then they keep coming to me asking for a sweet medicine or soothing salve effective for back pain. Even better for their backs than my back pain medicine would be to not carry things that are too heavy. I always tell them that, and while I understand these industrious people, I wish they'd be more careful.



: Thre peoples, you say. None of the other places we've passed through thus far have been like that.

: In addition, it is truly unusual because the three peoples live separately from each other.



: Since Gumbo has become warm again, the rice crop should increase to what it was before. If so, the price of rice will stabilize, and it will help make business easier here. Then there's Cafu. But recently entrance to Cafu has been restricted. Since speed is the lifeblood of merchandising, I'm worried. It would be better if people were more flexible.

: They're a bunch of fools. They just don't listen to what people say.

: After Cafu, we'll probably go to Laine to sell. Well, if we're too busy, we won't.

Whew. Are we done yet? No? Dammit.



: My grandma, she often said if I met a person with stars in the eyes, that person would be important! True! The Elder has pretty stars too.

: ....

: Hm? Tee hee ♥ I did it again! The Elder is waiting in the cellar. Go quickly. I am praying that meeting you is one of the important meetings for me!



That, uh... that certainly is a text box. Anyway, with Guido in the party, quite a few of the NPCs have some new dialog. Mostly just the other Mogay, thankfully.



: Yes, yes, this is it. Thank you. I know you made it right away. Well now, here Justin.

: What? You're giving it to me?

: Thank you, Guido!

: We don't know what is happening with the underground ruins, so we must make full preparations.

: The Elder asked us to make the medicine right away, so we did a rush job. Normally it would take 4-5 days, we were lucky it took only one day to make it.

We saw part of this in the main update.



: If we continue to steadily have a little mutual exchange, gradually we should become friendlier.

: It would be great for business to continue having exchange. People can't live without money and goods.

: The Elder certainly says that it's not business for money, but business for people that is best.



: In fact, to get to the point, a claim came from Cafu about getting in and out of the village.

: A claim? Ah. I heard the story from another person. Yes, it's a difficult problem.

: I want to follow the rules of the village, and I want to do business as always, but they say you cant' enter the village. Delivery to the customer's house is the Mogay way. I've nothing to say about it now.

: Yes. On their land, it's their rules. We can't ignore that. We have to fold here.

: But it's just Cafu. We can meet over there.

: Well, business is first established by people being with people. If they have rules, we must respect them.



: It is a bracelet made from pretty stones from some village. This will absolutely be the in thing from now on!



: That's it. I will take them below.

: Really? I didn't think you would approve of these guys, but ah well. Be careful! I didn't know that the Elder had recognized you as worthy. We don't know what's down below, so be very careful.



: Looks like we'll have a lot of cargo.

: It will be a very good lesson for you to go there with those two. Good. I'm leaving it all up to you.

: It looks like this trading run will have heavy cargo. I would like two helpers.



: Aren't you the most knowledgeable on the history and will of the Mogay? That's what father says.

: If you live looking ahead like Justin, you would understand without having to ask me!

: Yes.... Live looking ahead? I still don't understand.

: It's not necessary to do any difficult thinking. Live by working hard every day!



: Yes, it's troublesome that Rusty, he likes festivals so much.

: But Rusty, he knows the most about the people of Gumbo. Surely he is doing a market survey.

: My big brother goes off to Gumbo and never comes back. He really likes festivals!



: I've seen a person about the break the seal. I think it's shrewd, but we have to go with full caution. Elder, you must go with caution also. You must not be caught off guard.



: I didn't heighten the sweetness by keeping the purity of the same strain. I mixed strains and it worked!

: Shia, your efforts thus far have borne fruit. Truly well done! You've worked at it a long time.

: We grew these especially sweet carrots for you, Elder. I hope you enjoy them.

: Carrots... these carrots are great! ♥ Carrots.... ♥

All right, two laps around the Mogay quarter should be enough. Next time, we finally wrap up the city!
