I had to send for you rather abruptly... there is a task I wanted to ask you about in secret.
The task is of utmost importance, but not just anyone can do it.
I need someone trustworthy. Someone like you, [%username].
We're in a very precarious situation.
The Aetheric Field, which protected the Tower of Eternity, has gradually retreated to the point of leaving Norsvold outside of the field. As a result, the previously inaccessible land is now exposed to Balaur intrusions.
We are going to create an Aetheric Field for Norsvold, just as we did for Altgard, Morheim and Beluslan.
Under the orders of Azphel, the Archon’s Shadow Legion is searching for ways to protect Norsvold, which is now vulnerable to enemy incursions.
That’s why I’d like to offer you this mission, [%username]. If you’re the person that I’m taking you for, [%username], you will certainly carry it out successfully.
When the mission is successfully completed, I’ll announce your accomplishment and raise you to a position that you deserve, [%username].
To restore the Aetheric Field around Norsvold, we need the ancient knowledge and wisdom of a sage who lives inside the Tower of Eternity.
The field has to protect a vast area, which is beyond our technological expertise. I’ve entrusted Corto to make preparations to meet with the sage.
Look for [%dic:STR_DIC_N_DF6_Conrto_E] and assist him with the preparations to meet with the Sage of the Tower.
Peregrine did mention that he’d send me someone to help with the secret mission, but I didn’t know who it would be.
I’m sorry to spring something like this on you, but there’s been a problem.
I’ve been ordered to summon the sage of the Tower of Eternity through a rift and restore the Aetheric Field around Norsvold.
Then a Tower rift appeared around the tower fragment, so I attempted to bring the sage to Norsvold. But just as the sage of the tower was coming out of the fissure, the rift suddenly swirled around and disappeared, taking the sage along.
It was my oversight, forgetting that Tower of Eternity rifts are unstable, appearing and disappearing erratically.
The rifts that lead to the Tower of Eternity appear erratically here and at the Fragment Excavation Areas.
If the Tower of Eternity rift that appeared was only brief. It's likely that it opened again in another region.
As that’s the way things stand, please go to the aforementioned fragment exploration areas and meet with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_DF6_Bastok_E], [%dic:STR_DIC_N_DF6_Duisys_E], [%dic:STR_DIC_N_DF6_Sieden_E], and [%dic:STR_DIC_N_DF6_Norte_E] to hear what they have to say and trace the whereabouts of the Sage of the Tower.
The sky was unusually clear today. I guess it was a sign that I’d be having an important guest.
What brings you all the way here?
I don’t know where the Sage of the Tower might be, but I have some suspicions about the recent anomaly with the Tower of Eternity rift.
Not long ago, a rift appeared at the Tower fragment in the Northern Morninglight Fragment Excavation area with tremendous rumblings, followed by violent tremors that shook the land around it for quite a while.
Normally, a dimensional rift allows you to move to another place from where the rift appears, but that time, it looked like something was trying to come out through the rift.
Now that I think about it, the something that tried to come out may have been the sage of the Tower of Eternity that you’re searching for, [%username].
Fate has led you to me, [%username].
I’m glad to see you again.
What matter brings you to me this time?
If it relates to the Tower of Eternity rifts, there is something troubling.
I came across an open Tower of Eternity rift recently and I saw what looked like a droopy, wiggling ear of a creature poking out of the rift..
I wanted to examine it further, but the rift closed and the thing that looked like an ear also disappeared. In the end, the Sage of the Tower wasn’t fated to come here.
Phew, you scared me there. I thought a Guardian had snuck up on me.
Please make some sounds when you move about!
Anyway, why did you come here?
Something out of ordinary... Oh, a Tower of Eternity rift appeared at the tower fragment.
But unlike the rest, that time I heard strange sounds coming from the rift that I haven’t heard before.
I’m not sure how I should describe it, but it sounded like ‘Mo, moho?’, as if someone was crying. Perhaps that was the voice of the Sage of the Tower whom you’re looking for, [%username]?
I hope you coming here was the best choice you could’ve made, [%username].
What brings you here?
There is one thing I can tell you if you’re inquiring about the Tower of Eternity rift and the sage.
A while ago, the Tower of Eternity fragment issued a loud whirring noise and a blue dimensional rift suddenly appeared.
The squirming backside of a little animal was protruding about halfway out from the rift, so I tried to rescue it but the rift disappeared before I could get my hands on it.
I should’ve done more to save it... it was a shame.
Did you find out where the Sage of the Tower is?
Hmm... It appears that the Sage of the Tower is trying to reach Norsvold each time a rift opens at one of the five Tower of Eternity fragments.
But because the rifts opening at those fragments are unstable and erratic, he’s having a problem getting out of it.
We’ll need the rift to be more stable to bring the Sage of the Tower to Norsvold.
For that we need help. Could you help me?
If we artificially intensify Aether around a tower fragment, it might be possible to create a rift and maintain it in a stable state until the sage can come through it.
Increasing the power of Aether in a specific area requires using an Aether Boost Magic Stone, which is pretty tricky to make. It’s because the stone requires materials that aren’t normally easy to get.
Please go to the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF6_SZ_A1] and the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF6_SZ_A2] in Norsvold, and hunt the spirits to obtain [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_20525a]s, [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_20525b]s, and [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_20525c]s
To maintain a Tower of Eternity rift in a stable state until the sage can come through it from the Tower of Eternity, we need a boost magic stone that can intensify Aether around the tower fragment.
I can craft the Aether Boost Magic Stone with my Aether if I have some more materials.
I see... I can sense faint traces of magic from these mysterious stones.
These should be enough to craft a boost magic stone that could be used once.
Alright then, could you wait a moment while I craft the boost magic stone?
Spirits in Norsvold have magic stones in their bodies.
Those magic stones intensify the power of Aether, increasing the spirits’ magic power.
We should be able to craft the Aether Boost Magic Stone if we have the magic stones from light spirits.
... Ha... shir...
The spring... shall... fill up...
... soil... bright... will be...
The Aether Boost Magic Stone is completed. If you use it in front of a Tower of Eternity fragment, the fragment and Aether will react to each other and create a Tower of Eternity rift.
Then the Sage of the Tower who’s currently imprisoned in some space between the Tower of Eternity and Norsvold should be able to escape to Norsvold.
Go to [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF6_OP_Square] and use this [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_20525d] in front of the Tower of Eternity
Ah, you're here, [%username].
How did everything go?
I see. He’s been wandering lost all this time because of the erratic rifts... I’ll look after the Sage of the Tower at a safe place until he recovers.

Order: Answer Agent Peregrine’s call and carry out a secret mission.
Peregrine said that the Aetheric Field must be reinforced to protect Norsvold, which emerged from the Aetheric Field and was open to enemy intrusions. He then entrusted you with a secret mission to find someone who can help with the task.
That someone was a sage living in the Tower of Eternity, who tried to reach Norsvold through a Tower of Eternity rift but went missing when the rift disappeared before he could come out of it.
After listening to the accounts of the men of the Archon’s Shadow Legion in the fragment exploration areas, you learned that the sage was trying to reach Norsvold through tower rifts but kept failing due to the erratic movements of the rifts.
Conrto said that to bring the sage to Norsvold, a stable rift needs to be opened by intensifying Aether around a Tower of Eternity fragment. He then asked you to obtain materials required to craft an Aether Boost Magic Stone.
After obtaining the materials and crafting the Aether Boost Magic Stone, you used the stone in front of the Tower of Eternity fragment.
Upon seeing the Sage of the Tower exhausted from his ordeals, the Agent asked you to wait until the sage is fully recovered.
