Mirror reflecting the truth
Selena
It took me a long time to come up with a plan to escape from the institute. One day a kind doctor learned the truth about me. He also realized that I was trying to regain my memory and offered to help me. Do you see that little mirror?
With the help of this little mirror, I gradually retrieved my past memories. The doctor taught me how to dive into the depths of my memory by looking at my reflection in the mirror. That's how he himself recovered his memories.
-
Resurrected Memories
Selena
The disciples' experiments continued, but after that I was locked up in solitary confinement. Then one day I found a glass hair clip stuck in a crevice in the floor. Please look for it among my possessions. I had no strength left to search for things...
When I saw this glass hairpiece, it brought back hazy memories of my parents and the house where I was born and raised... When I realized that the disciples were stealing my life, I decided to run away with Baiti.
-
state of mind
Selena
Baiti and I are not sent to the Order of Shadows. My name is Serena. When I was a child, I was captured by the disciples of the Order. They used a card with symbols on it to find out that I had psychic powers. You can see the card here.
These cards with symbols on them have the power to focus the mind. My students used them when they studied me, so I brought them with me when I escaped.
-
Dangerous sounds
Vera
The werewolf and his owner come across as odd... oops! I think I stepped on some glass. May I ask you to examine the shards of glass carefully as I step back cautiously?
I think I stepped on a broken pill bottle. I've smelled this before... this bottle seems to have contained a painkiller. I've used it on wounded gatherers. I wonder if the werewolf injured its owner?
-
Maximum efficiency
Yuri
I was able to pick up the vibrational frequency of the melody to drive away the fog, so it's ready to play now. But Vila is still adjusting the amplifiers. She says she needs artifacts to get maximum efficiency. Can you lend me some of them?
I feel the melody ringing and resonating through the city. The lyre glowed mysteriously and shattered into sparks! But the music has driven away the fog that covered the neighborhood!
-
finding a place to live
Kira Woodville
There might be werewolves nearby, so be careful! I didn't notice this pile of stones because of the darkness. Are these claw marks? Let's take a closer look.
This isn't just a pile of stones, it's a carved fireplace! I thought this was where werewolves sharpen their claws, but it looks like they're burying coal. It's still hot...looks like the werewolf was here just now!
-
any bright metal
Vera
You never know where the beast is lurking...just the thought of a shadow cult disciple controlling a werewolf at will sends shivers down my spine. Hey, I think I just saw something glow on the ground...can I ask you to look for it with me?
Why is the Broken Disciple insignia here? Maybe the werewolf's owner dropped it. But why is the insignia bent? It looks like it was damaged in a fierce battle... but if we find where the werewolves live, we will find out what is going on.
-
Traces just left behind
Kira Woodville
I arrived on the scene and found clues right away. There are new bags scattered all over the place, some of them covered with dirt... let's collect and examine the bags here. Help!
I checked the list of stolen items and I can confirm that the shoes you collected were stolen by a werewolf. The bag has a lot of claw marks on it... and the fact that the bag is here means that there may be a werewolf habitat nearby.
-
Riding the Rhythm of Events
Vera
It worked! Yuri played a melody on the lyre and the fog moved a little farther away. To drive it farther away, we need an amplifier. The assembly is already done, so please help me install it.
This amplifier is the heart, so to speak. And the rhythm of the melody is the heartbeat. Okay, the assembly is complete. According to our calculations, the melody of the lyre should have a much more powerful effect on the fog.
-
melody-making
Yuri
The vibrations of this lyre are very similar to the vibrations that reside in all life. Even if you are not deaf like me, you can clearly hear that this instrument is playing unusual sounds. To make music on the lyre, you will need a flower keyboard. Please help me assemble the keys.
The flower keyboard will play a melody that will keep the fog away with a concertina sound that only a masterful artifact of sound can create. I would love to order a hand-cranked organ with this keyboard.
-
Crystal Bonds
Vera
The lyre contains pieces of immaculate, pure crystal that may have been added later. It is probably intended to resonate with other instruments. Are there any instruments nearby?
As expected, the lyre resonates with this music box. Ollie says that Bill put a melody in the music box that attracts fog. Since Ollie cannot play the lyre, he must have opened the music box to play the music.
-
the work of a master craftsman
Vera
Is the ghost lyre affecting the fog? Of course, I'll gladly research the lyre! But I was in such a hurry to get here that I dropped my research tools somewhere. Could you please find it?
It is my tool! Yes, according to the measurements, this lyre is made of an unknown alloy. I see the letter "M." It seems that the masters of the Five Wise Guardians were involved in the making of this instrument.
-
Everything is connected.
Ollie Articus
I don't see any more information on the lyre on the slides, but I recall that Bill sometimes used knots to take important notes. Did you see any knots anywhere?
I see you found the note on the knot! I bet it contains instructions on how to use the lyre to drive away the fog. But I forgot how to read the knots...
-
white-feathered bird
Amina
Hopefully the scattered birds will be found soon. ...... As soon as I find out where the treasure is, I will bring them back. To me, they are worth more than any treasure! Next, let's look for the white macaws. I'm sure they were around here somewhere: ......
I'm so glad you found the white macaw! I didn't expect you to find it so quickly. According to the captain, this bird holds the most important information regarding the location of the treasure. We must take him there as soon as possible!
-
green bird
Amina
It has been my dream to have a tropical bird for a long time. So when the captain told me that I could have the birds if I knew where the treasure was, I felt as if I were in heaven! By the way, one of the birds was an emerald macaw. ...... Would you be willing to search for it with me?
My emerald macaw is very calm. Even when I put him in my hand, he was quietly grooming his feathers. I will take this bird to the captain. I will be right back, so please wait a moment.
-
A Glimmer of Hope
Ollie Articus
I was able to fix the damage to the nets, but I remember there were sparks running through the nets... yes! Bill had come up with the idea of electrifying the nets to catch memory grains in the fog. Looking for a crystal battery.
The battery that stores this energy was made by Bill out of crystal. He was an inventor... and brave. And he got involved in an adventure. Okay, I've got the net electrified. Let's see if we can restore your friend's memory.
-
Last drop
Ollie Articus
Was the net your friend got tangled in sticky? He must have dipped it in a special chemical solution. Memories are slippery things, otherwise you wouldn't catch them in the fog. We need a milky drop. Can you find some?
Bill gave me this bottle of milky drops to say goodbye... but why did we part? I guess that's why I wanted to get rid of the memory. But now I have to focus on fixing the net.
-
Complex entanglements
Ollie Articus
It's like a clue brought back my memory. I remembered Bill's voice. He said I spun a fine memory thread for the fog net. There must be a skein somewhere. Let's find it.
You had a thread of memory. I even remembered what fibers and crystals I used to spin it. If this spool of yarn is not enough to fix the web of memory, I will spin additional yarn.
-
Light of Knowledge
Ollie Articus
Bill loved technology and he knew his artifacts. Yes, he was the one who invented the fog net! He stored his data on slides. I need a projector to see the slides. Can you help me find one?
134, 135... this is slide 136. Thanks for finding the projector. Let's get right to the slides. Yay, this is Bill's note about the fog net. Hopefully we can fix the nets and get our friends back.
-
Souvenirs of Memories
Ollie Articus
Your friend has become entangled in a foggy dream-catching net. If we can find a clue related to "speed," we can get your friend back.
You're in luck! You found a model speed bike. I remembered that it belonged to my partner, Bill, who was a real speed freak. The model is inscribed "Slide 136". I wonder what that means.
-
Don't look back on the past.
Ollie Articus
I can't be blamed for that. I pick up things that have no owner and use them to help people. Most of my clients want to leave their painful memories behind and get a happy past. Look for the mourning.
This mourning badge was left behind by one of our guests. He forgot his mourning and became happy with new memories. I, too, have let go of some of the memories that were weighing me down.
-
An easy choice
Ollie Articus
Yes, I select memories. I select the happiest memories and give them away at a very reasonable price. Here are the containers with the happy memories. They are all sold out. Please take a look.
Memories of love, memories of an unblemished childhood, memories of success, and memories of the gift of destiny - everyone can choose a happy past and replace the past. Isn't that wonderful?
-
exposure
Kira Woodville
Articus avoids talking about the underground trade in memory. But you can't talk your way out of it. We found a device here similar to the one the pawnshop owner had. Except he's licensed to work with memories. Find the device.
The suspect admitted to using this device she calls a happiness meter. To look at memories. She must be using this device to select memories that fetch a high price.
-
Unique Collection
Ollie Articus
During my wanderings, I gathered information about things that bring happiness and created a collection of artifacts. The most fascinating of these is a pendant. It should be nearby, so look for it.
This talisman is unusual. Long before I came to the City of Shadows, I collected pendants that brought happiness. And now the knowledge I have gathered is making people in the city happy.
-
Last stop
Ollie Articus
I didn't do anything wrong. The airship I was on couldn't take off and this place became my home. The steering wheel doesn't work anymore. You can touch it and see.
I spent half my life behind this steering wheel, but there comes a time when everything comes to an end. Yes, I couldn't fix the airship. So I decided to stay and help people.
-
liquidation
Ollie Articus
You can't let a memory problem keep you from enjoying life! I have a suggestion for your friend, why don't you put the past behind you and give yourself a new name. Something that will bring you happiness. I think this pendant is a good candidate. Would you take a look at it?
This pendant has the word "Felicia" written in ancient script. It means "happiness. If Mr. Woodville wears it, he will forget all his bad luck memories and live a worry-free life.
-
lucky number
Mr. Black
I think Woodville is being too hard on this Mr. Ollie person. I know it's an odd way of doing things, but she is reaching out to me. She says she will tell me my lucky number if she can find the oracle's dice. Can you please help me?
I was amazed. Using this oracle's dice, Ollie determined that my lucky number was "5". This means that I have a secret lying inside me that can be unlocked through meditation. I will definitely give it a try at some point!
-
Crystal Transparency
Ollie Articus
There is a perfect tool for restoring order to the human spirit. It is called the Crown of Healing. It has the power of crystals to make thoughts crystal clear! Give the crown to Mr. Woodville.
This healing crown, you know, calms me down and helps me to connect myself firmly to the present moment. Mr. Woodville should not have refused to wear this crown, because once he put it on, he could clearly remember what had happened.
-
Planet Parade
Ollie Articus
We'll make sure we find out what happened to your friend! We'll draw up a natal astrological chart for both of you, and we'll make sure you're aware of all the events in your life. All you need is a tabletop planetarium. Help us find it.
Thank you. I'll use this planetarium to see what fate awaits Keira and Ivar. Oh well, their memories are so intertwined that I can't pinpoint the date and time of their birth.
-
Freedom from Negativity
Ollie Articus
Fog near here? I didn't notice it at all. I've been meditating. Who cast the net? You're so negative, you're not getting any answers. Find the bagua mirror.
This mirror reflects negative chi flow. Most people feel better immediately. Maybe your friends will remember something, too. No luck? Don't worry. Let's try something else.
-
Who is in charge?
Mr. Black
It is my favorite lipstick! I thought I lost it during the chase, so I went through all my pockets...and by the way, I found a few odd things in my pockets. A crystal key. Take a look.
I did not steal it! Woodville was yelling at me because I had no idea that she had the key or that the key was in her secret cabinet. Yes, she is my boss, but that doesn't make me a culprit!
-
Memory lapses
Kira Woodville
Black and I were in a fog. Using our experience, we got out quickly, but something happened to our memories...we couldn't remember where we got these strange bullets in our pockets or where we got them.
You think this is lipstick? I don't understand why we need this stuff. Maybe someone planted it on me, but then what the hell for? The only person nearby was Black. Does he know anything about this?
-
Safe Breathing
Kira Woodville
When did this strange state of affairs begin? When we were engulfed in fog, I heard music. Maybe my mask was malfunctioning and I was having fog-induced hallucinations. Let's check the filter of my mask.
I agree with your conclusion. There is nothing wrong with the filter of this breathing mask. It was supposed to protect me from the effects of the fog. So what went wrong? Let's continue our investigation.
-
decisive finding
Mr. Black
Woodville "Mr.", I am sorry to interrupt. I saw the forager's child drop the artifact while escaping. He may have dropped it on purpose to get away. Let's search the surrounding area.
There it is, the stolen artifact! This means that Mr. Woodville's pursuit has seen the light of day. But what happened next is only vaguely remembered, as if wrapped in a dream...
-
Unforgettable pursuit
Kira Woodville
As head of the Security Bureau, I was in charge of the operation to catch the culprits who had stolen the valuable artifact. Black accompanied me as an escort. The footprints lead here. Let's check it out.
After all, these are the footprints of the collector. There is crystal dust on the sole of the killer's shoe. My memory was not wrong. We were in pursuit of a thieving gatherer, and he had tried to hide in this remote area.
-
Forgotten catastrophe
Rayden Storke
This house, close to the fog, looks like a calm place, but Octopus troops may be waiting for you. I am armed, you are in the back. If anything goes wrong, run and call for help. Come on, I'm going inside!
This appears to be the crash site of an airship. The crash appears to have occurred long ago and the airship cabin has been converted to a residence. There are no signs of a struggle at all. Oh, I see the black station chief. He seems to be safe.
-
Werewolf Invasion
Kira Woodville
See how deserted the streets are? People are too scared to go out because a werewolf with supernatural powers has recently appeared in town. The werewolf is being accompanied by a young woman who has ordered the werewolf to loot the people of the city.
According to our information, they have recently become more ferocious. It's as if the owners have no control over their werewolves... so the Sheriff's Office has been inundated with letters expressing concern about the situation. Here it is. Read it.
-
sweet smell
Joy
Icy even brought brooms from Norway for the kids to look for at Christmas. We can weave cinnamon sticks so that the kids can easily find the broom by following the scent. Can you help?
That went well! I can smell the cinnamon aroma wafting all over the place from the Christmas broom. The children will be amazed and think it was made by Yule Nisse, the Christmas hobgoblin! Shall we return the broom to its original home?
-
Christmas in a foreign country
Joy
We need to return the Christmas tree in India too! People celebrate Christmas in India too. But it's too hot to grow a Christmas tree, so let's decorate a mango tree instead!
You have such good taste. Your mango tree shines and looks even more beautiful! If you return it with the magic of Christmas, no one will be offended.
-
lucky fish
Icy
I have to return the carp to Prague too. In Prague it is customary to buy fish from the banks of the Vltava River and release them into the river. Why don't we use magic to cover the carp with edible gold leaf? Can you help me?
Your Koi shines as if it were made of gold! The child who gets this will be delighted, and by releasing the Koi and starting a new cycle of goodness, the child will believe in Christmas even more. Shall we return the carp then?
-
Winter Sweets
Joy
Icy also brought a traditional Portuguese king cake. We have to return this too. Let's follow the tradition there and add the special wonderful candied fruit and beans before returning it. Help me.
I made a lovely pie with honey soaked pears. By the way, these are special beans! According to tradition, whoever wins the beans will have good luck all year round. Now, let's return the pie to its original home.
-
Christmas run
Icy
I need to return my roller skates to Venezuela. I heard that Venezuelans go to church on roller skates for Christmas. I'd like to decorate them with a bit of foil used for wrapping candy as an apology before I return them. Can you help me with that?
Thanks for decorating the roller skates so beautifully! It's so festive and Christmasy, and you've added so much color. Let's use our magic and return them to Venezuela. Hopefully the Venezuelans won't be too mad at us...
-
Final touches
Joy
Finally, we should also have some Christmas night entertainment. My confectionery has all sorts of treats and an edible board game made of gingerbread cookies. Could you go find them for me?
This is the gingerbread game I've always wanted! Play with Isabelle and then everyone can enjoy cookies while sipping cocoa. Glad my pastry store can contribute to an authentic Christmas production!
-
Practical sweets
Martha
Holidays should be fun, not just relaxing. What would Isabelle like? Yes, she does! Help me fill the piñata with Joy's candy.
Thank you! Isabelle doesn't like sweets much, but she loves amulets, so I think she'll be thrilled with this surprise. Let's make her lots of happy!
-
Magic drink
Martha
Prepare something special to treat Isabelle, too! Make a spiced cocoa that will make you feel as if you are spending your morning surrounded by a conifer forest. Isn't it Christmassy? Help us.
Your cocoa looks delicious! Those spicy herbs are perfect for that special Christmas night! Have Isabelle sit by the fireplace and give her this hot cocoa.
-
DIY Decoration
Joy
Let's make a nice smelling garland so that Isabelle can spend Christmas in comfort. Gather the materials needed to make the garland. In the kitchen there are molds to cut various colors of peels and dough.
You collected lemon, lime and orange zest. That smells lovely! Did you like making garlands with your parents? I loved it! Isabelle will love it too.
-
The Science of Christmas
Joy
I like the idea of preparing a Christmas dinner for Isabelle! But first we need a Christmas tree. The stores that sell trees are already closed, but I grew a Christmas tree out of sugar crystals, can you bring it to me?
Amazing! You found a sugar Christmas tree and even improved upon it. It's sparkly and beautiful! Do you even work magic? This Christmas tree will be a beautiful addition to Isabel's Christmas dinner.
-
Careful confirmation
Detective
The syrup is ready, but can we really trust Licoricius? What if his last gasp turns everything for the worse? Let's check it out. I'll pull the gingerbread Christmas tree out of the castle and pour syrup on it...see if the tree comes back to life!
Well, buddy, surprise, surprise! The gingerbread Christmas tree is back for real. Now that's what I call a Christmas miracle! I guess I can take this one home with me... and with it, I can break the curse on the entire castle.
-
Santa's Present
Icy
I need reindeer buttermilk for the magic syrup, where can I get it? Maybe Miss Izzy can give us some tips. She can contact Santa and he has reindeer with him! Can you please get me some buttermilk?
That's what I'm talking about! Santa has shared with you the ingredients you need. This quality buttermilk has a rich, thick, rich flavor. It is truly magical! The resulting syrup will surely work!
-
sweet (pleasant) winter
Detective
To break the curse of the castle and Ronan, you need to add golden sugar to the syrup. When I was a kid, I used to help my grandma make some pretty creative treats. Buddy, give me a hand!
Nice work, buddy! This edible gold dust is quite something. You mix this with sugar and then put it in a traditional mold... it's enchanting and shiny!
-
blazing frost
Icy
The magic syrup needs ginger grown in the snow. I have one guess! Lady Rosemary is an excellent gardener. She should be able to grow snow ginger. Could you get some for me?
You got your snow ginger with the help of Lady Rosemary! You are apparently very well-liked in town...at least by the good guys. Anyway, it's a lovely Christmasy story!
-
Great teamwork
Joy
I have to save Ronan and his kingdom! But how do I get cinnamon that tastes like a winter night? I wonder if Salem knows anything about it. She's the Queen of the Night! She must like Christmas night too... Can you get me some cinnamon?
I can't believe it! Salem gave you the magic cinnamon! Isn't it unheard of for Christmas and Halloween to work together? We have you and the Queen of the Night to thank for it!
-
Energizing sweetness
Joy
I know how to win the pastry battle with Ricoricius! The way is to bake holiday cookies that taste like Christmas itself. You'll need the magic menthol crystals. Where did I put them?
You found the menthol crystals! I made these crystals bigger. Aren't they nice looking? These cookies are warm and cold at the same time and remind me of the joyous spirit of Christmas!
-
A little helpful magic
Joy
It's a matter of honor to defeat Riccoricius! We can't risk losing. I was thinking that maybe we could enchant the rolling pin to make the cookies easier to make. Go to the kitchen and look for the cooking utensils. You'll find a rolling pin.
You found the perfect rolling pin! I designed it myself so that I could stretch the dough to different angles at the same time. Then I'll work my magic............................................Okay, I've got it!
-
Improved cooking utensils
Icy
We must win the pastry battle with Ricolicius and break the curse on Ronan's castle. While there is still time, let's improve the cooking tools so that they can work on their own. I've already worked some magic on the mixer. Check it out.
Yay! This mixer kneads the dough automatically, so we can appeal to the humanity of Licoricius while we let the mixer do the work. We don't want any more people to suffer at his hands!
-
preemptive attack (strike)
Joy
You peeled it so carefully, it looks as if it's intact! Hey, will you be my student? Now I'll have time to talk to Licoricius between pastry battles.
-
snow globe
Icy
Shhh...please be quiet. We are trying to catch a very powerful snowstorm. If we fail, the houses in the city of shadows will be badly damaged. If that happens, we will be too busy shoveling snow to celebrate Christmas. Please lend me a hand. We are about to be caught. I'll show you how to do it... come on, hurry up!
-
Sweets for Joy
Icy
Ricoricius is so eager for recognition that he will break the curse of the castle and Ronan if he loses the pastry battle. That's a lot of confidence! But we can't lose either. Let's make sure we are well prepared. Look for the ribbon in the recipe!
Thank you for finding our ribbons! Ribbons represent the best flavor combinations. We need to choose them carefully! Hopefully I can ease his mind while I compete with Ricoricius.
-
Conversations for Treatment
Joy
Ronan knew the secret of the sorcerer. There is a reason he wants us to talk to Lycoricius. Joy, think! Where did Ronan hide the recipe to summon the sorcerer? Okay! Follow me! And don't forget the artifact!
You are the reason I was able to decipher Ronan's message so quickly. Because it was heavily guarded. They didn't want the sorcerer to ever read it. So, how do we call this bad guy out?
-
Wise Ronan
Joy
What does it take to defeat a sorcerer? His dessert problem is not licorice. No one buys candy that tastes like anxiety on Christmas. Let's look for clues. I'm sure Ronan has left us something!
You found a clue among the Christmas tree toys! Ronan left a message in a prominent place. You don't decorate a tree with cucumbers...they're not sweet enough. But the magician didn't notice!
-
dark side
Joy
We need to know everything about Ricolicius. How does his magic work? I found a pot of something boiled. The smell of licorice is so strong it stings my eyes. Will you check it out with me?
Oh no! You are right, Lycorisius used this potion to cast black magic! He was so angry with the inhabitants, who didn't like Lycorisius, that he sought help from the dark side of Christmas, Krampus.
-
Through the tip of the star
Icy
Gather materials about Ricolicius and find out how to defeat him. Why did he put the curse on the castle in the first place? I saw a strange medal this morning. Now that I think about it, maybe they belonged to a sorcerer. Would you please look for it?
Thanks, I did see this medal. This makes me angry when I see it. Of course, this is an award given to the 27th. In the preface to the recipe book, it said that there were a total of 27 confectioners in the kingdom.
-
clinical (case) history
Joy
I need to get to know this Lycorisius better. I'm sure he's a nasty piece of work, but does he have any weaknesses? Let's go through the pastry store again! There must be something we're missing.
Great find! This cockscomb is shaped like a crown, and it's a little small. It also has the mark of Licorice on it. According to Ronan, Licoricius was already weird when he was an apprentice. I think he wears this hat as a memorial to something.
-
Gourmet Magic
Joy
I still don't know who the magician is. All I know is that his name is Lycoricius. Obviously Ronan fought him here. Did the sorcerer drop any tools? Let's look for it.
This is amazing! This is a magician's recipe book! Licorice, Queen of Candy." Interesting...all the ingredients are in there! And the second half of the book is devoted to actual licorice spells.
-
Prisoner of the Castle of Sweets
Detective
Ronan is a material witness in the case. We absolutely need to find him. Let's try Icy's idea. Maybe he's trapped in this little candy castle tower. Damn, it's hard as a rock! Buddy, find something sharp!
This dough cutter cuts horribly! I can cut gingerbread bars with it. It was harder than I thought it would be, but Icy hardened the knife with Christmas frosting, so it should work.
-
Closer
Joy
I am really worried about Ronan. Where is he? Oh yes, I have an idea! He had a bird collarbone amulet as a reminder of his hometown. The amulet glows when it's near Ronan, so if you lose it, it's easy to find. Give me the bird clavicle, please!
Yes, those bones! It should help us find Ronan. Just to be sure, let's take this bone with us, walk around the confectioner's store until we find every nook and cranny, and then we'll go to town! Hmm, is it broken? The bone is glowing near a window with bars in the pastry castle.
-
Licorice Voodoo.
Joy
Where is Ronan? Really worried! Something must have happened. There is no way he would have left without saying something. Check the part of the castle indicated by the arrow. Do you see anything unusual?
You are a genius! I never noticed the licorice man. What's this? It's creepy. His hands are bound, and there are traces of dark magic. Looks like he was used in some kind of ritual.
-
quick-witted student
Detective
Where did Ronan go? He didn't build this castle, but there must be some connection. There are many details in the castle. Maybe we're missing something that could lead us to the missing person. Hey, what's that over there?
Buddy, did you see that? The squeeze bag drew an arrow with cream right in front of you! Yes, we've found our silent witness. Apparently, the arrow points to something.
-
Looking for Edward.
Detective
Where is Ronan? Did he run away or did something happen to him? I'm hoping we can find some clues. Wait, maybe Valerie's ferret can trace the smell. Buddy, go to the pastry store and look for something kid-friendly!
Okay, this mitt looks good. Joy says Ronan spent hundreds of hours shaping truffles with this mitt. But there's some weird smelling candy-like stuff stuck in here...oops, Valerie brought Eddie in!
-
A disturbing discovery.
Detective
I have a sneaking suspicion that it was a third party that damaged the castle. More likely, the original castle was stolen! Let's go through the pastries again. My gut is telling me I'm missing something!
Buddy, what's that on Joy's cutting board? Traces of dark magic in the candy? Hmmm... Ronan and Icy used Christmas magic, didn't they? I don't think they would dare use Joy's cutting board.
-
Unusual ingredients
Icy
I have no reason to ruin the castle. Ronan was here at night! Let's look into it more closely. Maybe there's more evidence. Hey, what is this weird grass growing in the gingerbread square?
What do you think of this plant I just examined? Is it fresh licorice? I didn't know licorice was an herb. But I don't think it's a good idea to put it in gingerbread. Castles are for everyone. It's not good if people don't like it, and it's raw to begin with!
-
Unfamiliar fruit
Joy
I don't think Ronan would make that mistake, and even if he did, you would need proof. It's easy to find out. Wait a minute...here, give me your hand to compare samples of this jam!
I'm finding that the jam used for the castle doesn't match any of the samples. And there are so many different kinds of jam used! Ronan only uses ingredients he knows well. Icy, on the other hand, likes to experiment.
-
It's far from perfect anymore.
Icy
I didn't destroy the castle! But I'm sure someone did. We need to find out who did it. Who assembled the castle? Is the damage only on the surface or is it inside too? Help us find out.
Thank you very much. I found that the whole castle was ruined. I even swung a hammer to get a piece of the castle wall and the hammer broke. It looks like a hundred year old gingerbread! This is a failure, so the responsibility lies with Ronan, the person who made it.
-
Sign of the owner
Joy
You can draw your conclusions when you see the castle! Ronan is not the kind of person who would damage his own work. He's the kind of person who embodies dedication and attention to detail! He even makes his own stamp, you see!
You figured it out by checking out the stamp on the pastry store. It's the same stamp as the bricks of the castle made of gingerbread. It's a sign from Ronan. No one destroys their own work.
-
Crow Evidence
Detective
According to the data from the tracking device, it appears that the thieving raven flew through the trees. Look... there's a broken branch in this bush. It's possible that the crow may have rear-ended it. There's a shiny ring on the branch. Can you get it off?
This is a ring used as a marker for bird sign surveys. It is engraved with the city's symbol of justice and the mark of a card-carrying fraudster. It might seem like a piece of evidence, but it could be a fake!

grisly evidence
Detective
If I could, I would have come to this pastry store for a much nicer reason. Come on, let's check this place out, solve the case quickly, and celebrate Christmas together! On my cue, we're coming in... now!
It's a warm and cozy place. Not really in the mood for a criminal investigation...and this candy castle is magnificent! I can't believe this was ruined. Okay, let's take a closer look!

Cunning bird
Detective
The burglar's crow is not so cut and dried... but what did he use to break that sturdy window pane? There's something under the couch... looks like a piece of tile. Pick it up and let me see it, will you? Be careful, you don't want to hurt yourself.
With this piece of tile, even a crow could easily break the windowpane! This tile looks familiar. They were used to decorate the walls of city hall and are extremely rare. Why did the thieves give these to the crows?

Failure of surprise attack
Detective
Now, let's wait for the thieving crows to be caught in the trap... Oh, what's that sound? It sounds like a bell ringing from the garden of the mansion! Let's hurry and find the source of the sound!
Did someone throw a garland with a bell in our yard? Apparently we had been tricked by the crows! While we were looking for the garland, the crows broke the window and took the trap ornaments. Let's check out the crime scene.

Fake ornaments
Detective
Lure the thieving crows by placing shiny ornaments in a house rented from a cooperative in town. Can you help me find the shiny fake ornaments with me?
This fake ornament will be a bargain for the crows! Let's place it in direct sunlight by the window of the friendly neighbor's mansion who helped us in our investigation. The crows will surely notice the shiny treasure and lead us to the location of the thief!
-
Competent Spy
Detective
I've made a bugged accessory to track thieves using crows. It has a strong sparkle to it, so the crows will definitely grab it and take it with them. Can you help me find the pendant with the tracking device planted on it? It should be on the table.
Ah, that's the pendant with the tracking device on it. Thank you! It's cheap, but I covered it in shiny gold plating. The crows will grab it and deliver it to the owner, the thief. Then you can track it.

Dark Detection
Mayor
When building a water purification system, you should be prepared for all eventualities. If a powerful dark artifact appears in the water, you need to be able to find it immediately. Look for floats for detection.
You found a good detection float! The amulet on the float will quickly detect the dark artifact. The float will then track the artifact and immediately locate the source of the harmful energy.

Light illuminating the shadows
Martha
The mayor is right, the city needs a water purification system. The cult of shadows is always trying to pose a threat to us... but with the help of the symbol of the sun, we can protect ourselves. Go find it.
Thank you for finding the symbol of the sun. The pure light of the sun will confuse and terrify the shadow cult. If we place this symbol along the edge of the reservoir, the cultists will stay away.
-
Light in the dark
Isabelle
I heard the mayor is building a device to purify the water from the dark energy. If so, we need some fish to eat the shadows. Find some and release them into the reservoir. They will come in handy!
This fish feeds on small amounts of dark energy and will begin to glow when it senses a shadow. In case of emergency, it will warn you of danger.
-
The silent hunter
Mayor
Shadow cultists have their eyes on the reservoir, we are told. We must protect our water from their dangerous plot. You need to find the artifact capture device. It's the tool we need to solve this problem.
You have found a wonderful capturing device! These nets capture and seal objects that are charged with dark energy. Now the water will no longer be contaminated by the shadow cult.
-
water purification system
Mayor
Before the water purification system can be installed, we must make sure that all reservoir water passes through the purification system. To do that, we need a crystal rotor blade. Find them.
Thanks for finding my crystal spinning wing. It's made of a rare kind of crystal that attracts pure water. When the rotor blades turn, the water is directed directly into the filtration system.
-
Stone Energy
Mistress
Looks like I need one of those light artifacts to make a special funnel for the Dark Garden. Unpleasant as it is... go find the blooming stone before I grow angry!
You found the blooming stone! Juliette is lucky. Without the life energy in this stone, she would have gotten sick just by touching the pot. What a nasty servant...
-
Threads and Knots
Martha
The mistress is making Juliet a watering can for watering the dark garden? I'm worried about Juliette...find the magic string. It will come in handy!
Thank you for finding the magic string! Once you have the watering can, wrap this string around it. In case the dark energy gets out of control, the magic string will stop it and give Juliette time to escape.
-
The Power of the Crystal
Mistress
Help Juliette make a special watering can so she can take care of the flowers in my dark garden! To use the Dark Water, I need a crystal sprinkling nozzle. Hurry up and find one.
You found the crystal sprinkler nozzle, didn't you? Bring it here. Energized water has a tendency to move on its own, but with the crystal nozzle attached, you don't have to worry. Now Juliette can finally water my flowers!
-
Ideal type
Mistress
We have the metal to make the funnel for the garden of darkness, but we need the molds to cast it. Now, find me the molds to make the elegant funnels!
You've found the perfect mold for your watering can. It's important to make sure the pot is sturdy and small. Otherwise, Juliette's tiny arms won't be able to hold it.
-
Reflections of Light and Shadow
Mistress
The materials needed to make the funnel for the Garden of Darkness are all rare. First, you need to find a piece of mirarium, a star metal that traps energy!
That's enough for a piece of mirarium! If I make a funnel out of the mirarium, it will reflect the dark energy and trap it. If I fill it with dark water, my servants will be able to use it without worry!

Fruit of Life
Martha
I was thinking of ways to heal the victims when I remembered one particular tree. It's the pear of dawn. The fruit that grows on that tree might work. I have a dormant sapling. Can you lend me the artifact so I can awaken the tree?
With the help of the artifact, I poured the morning sun's rays and the life-giving fertility of the soil into the pear at dawn. Look, the pear has borne fruit. Let's have the people of the city eat them right away!

quack doctor
Detective
The residents who were hit by the jug's magic seem to have regained consciousness. There is still some anxiety, though. How about having them play with some rabbits? Buddy, why don't you bring some of them with you?
It worked! The residents who played with the rabbits we took are much better than before! Communicating with animals soothes the soul. I'm sure they'll eventually forget all about the magic they suffered from!
-
The Secret Place
Mistress
You extracted the energy of death from the victim's body. But you're not just going to leave that energy here like this. Okay? Go find the web of shadows. I'll take care of it.
Quick, hand over that web of shadows! This net is woven from the threads of the twilight widow spider. Use this web to capture the remaining deadly energy. What you do with the captured energy is not your concern.
-
Splendor of the forest
Martha
You can't heal a victim unless you remove the remnants of the deadly energy. I made a candle out of the forest spirit. It should be cold by now. Can you bring it here?
You brought me a candle of forest spirits. The spirits of the old forest, the protectors of life, helped me make it. The fire of this candle purifies the victim and removes the energy of death.
-
Thread of Joy
Martha
I'm glad you're going to be able to save the city. When you wake up, your body will be frozen for a while. It's a side effect of the deadly energy. Please, go find me the warmest blanket you can find.
The blanket you found for me is very warm and soft. They look like they are made of llama hair, don't they? These blankets are not only warm, but their softness calms me down and restores my energy.
-
sunbathing
Valerie
Now that the danger of the jug is gone, we can help the people in the city! We'd better get those people conscious first. Let's find hot lemon juice together!
Wow, I'm so glad you found hot lemon juice already! I made it to cheer you up on a dreary day. It's so tart, you'll wake up with a sip!

golden bird (any bird of family Motacillidae, excluding the pipits)
Amina
They say that a captain always keeps his word. Therefore, if I can get the information from the birds as promised, he will surely give me the birds. Have you seen a lorikeet macaw? Please look for them with me.
Well, I didn't expect to find a lurid macaw so quickly! Thank you very much! I'll take you to the captain right away. He should be able to extract some information on the location of the treasure in exchange for the fruit. Now, let us continue our search.
-
comb
Lady
This woman asked Giovanni di Fiori to paint something funny. It was to make the painting real. But why? The rest of the letter is as follows. To atone for your sins, you must paint a brush that can scoop even the finest hairs.
Why would the blackmailer want a "brush" like this? They weren't trying to use it as a comb, were they? Adeline says that brushes like this did not exist at this time. So Di Fiori invented it himself.
-
Swirling Hope
Valerie
While Martha and the mistress are dealing with the energy in the jug, let's use another gift the Goddess of Autumn gave us: royal ivy. Can you lend me the artifact so that I can transfer it safely to the jug?
Thanks to the artifact, the royal ivy has woken up, left the magic sachet, and wrapped itself tightly around the jug. Now that the jug's deadly energy has been removed, we can finally help the people of the city!
-
the darkness that closes in
Mistress
There is a powerful deadly energy emanating from this jug that cannot be completely extinguished. Have you tried the box of mirrors? If you haven't, you must find it! Hurry!
I was surprised to find it so quickly. The unique reflective stained glass in this box removes the dead energy of the jug so we can examine it.
