Do you really think Magatia is a town full of scholars with pure intent on research? That's nonsense. There's no other town that bickers over territory for their own good like them. The days of scholars purely searching for the truth is long gone... well, that's perfect for brokers, though.

1. Is there a big conflict?

Yes, which makes life harder for travelers like you. People are in so much conflict between one another that it's hard to join either of the two forces. There's so much mistrust in the air that the outsiders will have a hard time entering their tight circle. If you ever went there, you know what I am talking about.

1. A little bit...

If you want to know more about the situation in Magatia, you will have to join either Zenumist or Alcadno, and be part of the group. Even that is going to be difficult, but... your humble broker knows a way or two to get in. What do you think? Are you interested in joining Zenumist?

1. I am interested in becoming a part of Zenumist.

Hahaha... I knew you would say that. An adventurer like you would never reject an opportunity like this. I have to warn you, though, that joining the Zenumist sect is not easy. They believe that they are the true scholars, and they treat themselves as an exclusive bunch. In order to join Zenumist, you'll need to present to them your work as an alchemist.

1. Does that mean it's impossible?

Of course not... haha. I, Broker Han, find ways to satisfy every client that pays me. If you can bring me 2 ores of a jewel that can be turned into mesos, then I'll help you join them. I am telling you, I am the only person here that can help you here in Magatia.

That's the right decision. Come back to me when you are ready to make the deal. I don't care which jewel it is, just get me 2 jewel ores that'll make me some money. It's not that hard, is it? That should be enough for me to help you join the Zenumists...

You declined? You must be very confident in conducting alchemy in front of those scholars.
