Ruins Restoration Task 1: Safety First

Ah, Aldo.

I figured it was about time you'd have something for me to do.

Checking in on me? How considerate of you.

I can't help but worry. Really, if there's ever anything I can help with, just say the word.

In that case, might I trouble you to assist with reopening the Remulia Ruins?

Sure, but... That place is crawling with manifestations. Isn't it dangerous for regular visitors?

While studying the artifacts, I happened upon a most curious find.

A talisman of ancient Remulia. They say it was used to ward off the spirits that crawled from beneath the earth. The manifestations appear to loathe it, they refuse to come near. I suspect that with this in hand, we might drive them deeper into the ruins.

But those cracks...it looks like it's falling apart.

Precisely why I must ask your aid. I understand you have experience repairing murals, and traversed time in order to do so.

The particulars, I admit, escape me, but... Might I ask you to restore this relic in the same way?

Sure, just leave it to me.

Excellent. I shall see to preparing a pedestal for it in the Remulia Ruins. Please deliver it there once the repairs are complete.

First thing's first... I'll head to Astra Island and see if Grenfaa has any advice for repairing it.

Hmm... With the right materials, this should be possible to repair.

Thanks, Grenfaa. Sorry to be asking so much of you lately.

Think nothing of it. Everything you bring me is a curiosity, I always look forward to what you'll come with next.

Haha. Well, I'll be back with more, then.

All right, time to deliver the repaired talisman to the ruins.

My thanks. Let's put it to use right away.

Looks like the manifestations around here have cleared out.

But I don't get it, why drive them back instead of taking them out?

I am not certain of their nature. Dangerous, to be sure...but they are beings nonetheless. And if they exist, perhaps they hold the right to continue existing. This virtue is one you taught me.

I see. So you want to protect the guests' safety...but the spirits' lives as well.

Yes. From a hospitality standpoint... I should like my guests to be able to enjoy the entire property.

We'll have the attraction open again shortly. And when you have some time, Aldo, I do hope you'll come and enjoy it as well.
