Notebook

• We received a request from Sergeant Major Seeker of the CGF to help her investigate the ruins off of Mainz Mountain Path.
• There are reports of strange monsters in the ruins, and Sergeant Major Seeker says she felt a sensation there that reminded her of when we were in Stargazer's Tower.
• In addition to accompanying us for the ruins investigation, Sergeant Major Seeker will also help us with our support requests for the day.
• Regarding transportation, she will drive us in her CGF car. It's parked at the city's north exit.
• The ruins are located on the offshoot from Mainz Mountain Path's tunnel. Let's take care of any support requests we can, then head to the ruins.
• We arrived at the ruins. The surroundings are dim and covered in a strange fog. Let's try to make our way to the belfry that can be seen on the roof.
• We entered what looks like a chapel. According to Sergeant Major Seeker, this temple was built during the Middle Ages.
• The bell tolled and ghosts appeared! When defeated, they disappeared with an eerie light.
• The higher elements seem to be active here. It may be dangerous, but we should be able to take it on. Let's proceed cautiously.
• Beyond the chapel, we found a room that looks like it was used for some kind of ritual.
• The bell rang again, and a creature that resembled the devils from the church's Testaments appeared. It was very strong, but somehow, we were able to defeat it.
• The belfry should be on the roof beyond here. Let's head up and investigate it.
• On the roof, we found the bell resonating. It seems like the resonance is creating some kind of strange field around the temple.
• We decided to try holding the bell still to stop the resonance.
• We held it down and it stopped. The fog cleared up, and our surroundings returned to normal.
• We might see a change within the temple. Let's head back downstairs and check.
• Light now shines in the chapel. Both the monsters and the higher elements are no longer present. The area seems to have returned to normal.
• We don't know what caused it, but it seemed to be tied to the bell's resonance. Is the bell a relic from the ancient Zemurian civilization like Tio suggested?
• Our investigation is complete. Let's return to the car parked in the tunnel.
