incontrovertible evidence
Eli Montague
Do you know what this means? If the name Keeper was originally on the certificate, then they were the keepers of the fire! And when strangers started coming to the house, that's when the fire started, so I need to confirm my guess. I hope you can find the seal on the certificate...can you give me a hand?
As expected, the same symbols as on the fugoto and matchbox are also on the seal! On the back of it is a remnant of the same twine as the certificate. Isn't it impressive? Someone had worn this as a bracelet. As if it were a memento...perhaps after the crooks destroyed the seal.
-
Massive fraud
Mr. Black
I think I know what the hearth floor is trying to say. The house has always belonged to the fire keepers or their descendants. You can tell by the flame symbols. But for some reason the ownership started to change. When was that? Eli, do you have the paperwork for the house? Please bring them to me!
What an old certificate...this must have belonged to the first owners, the fire keepers. They were the only ones who could document the house with a hot pointed brush. With a flame...but there are traces of wax here. Not so old...
-
gain prestige
Harper McGill
Please be patient, Director Black. We are close to getting an answer. The furnace floor is giving me a vision...it's like a riddle. 'Stuff the wind in my sack and my flame will still sing. The flame hides like a mist. There is an old bloodthirsty beast." What is it that stokes the fire? The fireplace brimstone! Let's find it.
Thanks for helping me find the bellows. It's dusty! It must have been unused for a long time... unfortunately, this bellows is decorated with gold and jewels. It's not cheap. It even has the family crest on it. If you dust it off...oh my!
-
Ancient windows
Harper McGill
Mr. Furnace Floor...why did you start talking about something so long ago? I want to know why the fire is so hostile towards the people in this house. I beg your pardon? Is there an answer in the oldest window? Okay, I understand. I'll look for it. Eli, are there any strange windows in this house?
The window frames are old and the windows themselves are made of mica. Thousands of years later, the hearth says, a hut was built over a cave where ancient people guarded a wild fire. This is its first window. They say it brings back images of the past. See this warm hearth fire? Oh, it's a wild fire!
-
The Beginning of Everything
Harper McGill
I will talk to this furnace floor. You haven't forgotten who I am, have you? I've had similar experiences, so I'm sure the furnace floor can tell me something about this matter. Wait a minute...let's see...the hearth floor refers to that strange piece of wood. Help me pull it out from under the fallen beam!
The hearth floor says that this house began with this old log! Thousands of years ago, lightning struck here and this log burst into flames with frightening intensity and people gathered here. It seems that those people decided to live here and protect and maintain this wild fire.
-
Unexpected situation
Mr. Black
Thank you, Mr. Montague. I understand your story...ouch! What is that? Did you see it? A glowing bullet-like object flew out of the window and grazed my shoulder! There is even a little smoke coming out of my jacket. What was it? Please find that flaming flying object!
It is hot cinders. It has some kind of symbol on it! I have never seen anything like this before. It seems to have been blown away using these fire scissors. Mr. Montague, didn't you say there was no one in the house? If so, who is throwing the hot embers at the investigators?
-
Thursday is fish
Eli Montague
I am sure you would also like to prove the alibi of our housekeeper. Our housekeeper was at the market when the fire broke out. Once a week, on Thursdays, fresh fish comes into the city market, so we have fish for lunch on Thursdays. Since today is Thursday, check the container with the fish!
This is the fish! It is a sorry sight, and there is nothing left but bones now! The fishmonger cooks it on the spot. The housekeeper waits for it, then goes and gets it, and when she comes home...it's a terrible mess! Anyway, there are four of us here. No one else lives here.
-
Flame Experiments
Eli Montague
I see that you still doubt my family's innocence. But my son would never set fire to the house! When the fire started, my son was at school experimenting with a flame that revives flowers. He brought that specimen home with him, so look for it in the garden!
Thank you for finding my son's lab specimen! My son loves to learn and is a perfect attendance award in school. We are like-minded parents and children! When my son came home, the fire was already under control. The family sent him to a relative's house. If they have any questions for you...
-
Reading stash
Eli Montague
My wife is also innocent! I was at a book club. My wife always carries a spare key in a book with a stash. Please look for the book. It is not on fire. When my wife came home she saw the fire and gave the book to me, but in my panic I forgot where I put it...
It would have been as I said! If this had been in the house, it would have been burned along with the other books. My wife and her friends love detective novels and are passionate about these things. My wife made this secret box of keys herself and hid it among the books.
-
Owner's alibi
Eli Montague
I was working. Check your work place entry permit. It records the time I was in the storage unit. It shows that I was in the storage room when the fire occurred! The permit should be around here. I may have dropped it as I rushed home when I heard about the fire. Please help us find it.
Did you find it? Look at the numbers on the permit! I was still at work when they called the fire brigade. I cannot entrust my permit to anyone else. It is for my exclusive use. But I will not burn down my house or endanger the lives of my family or my collection of old documents. Believe me!
-
Unexpected Discovery
Mr. Black
No, I do not believe in coincidences. So I am leaning toward the most horrifying speculation. It could be that a serial arsonist is deceiving the people of the city and making up unscientific fictions to avoid arousing suspicion. Find something that can be used to set the mansion on fire.
Ah, there you are! Thank you for finding the matches! The careful owner of this mansion would not have matches, so this means that an outsider brought them in. This box also has a symbol in the shape of a flame... it must belong to the arsonist! He must have been in a hurry and left it behind!
-
incombustible (usu. waste)
Mr. Black
I am going to have a headache. Mr. Magill. We still don't know why the iron exploded, but it may be that sparks flew to the carpet and started the fire. We need to pursue this possibility. Find the remains of the burning carpet. See how quickly it ignites.
This is getting more and more interesting. As far as I can see the carpet is not burning, rather than the way it burns, it must have been treated with fire retardant to make it more fire resistant than the others in the mansion. It seems that the people who live here really know a lot about fire.
-
hot evidence
Mr. Black
I see. How can you stay away from fire at all? You must have used more flammable alternatives. You need to identify household items that could cause a fire. One such item is an iron. Please help us find it!
Oh my god! What is this? The coal in the iron has exploded and is giving off colorful sparks like fireworks. Eli, you said you don't use fire at home, but how do you heat the iron? The lid is blown off. Could the sparks have caused the fire?
-
Failed Tea Parties
Harper McGill
No, it is not. I smelled it too, but if the hydrogen sulfide is soaked into the paper, it will not ignite when exposed to air. If you don't believe me, look at the other thing I found. It is a kettle. It's melting like ice cream. What kind of force could melt a kettle like that?
Can you see how the kettle is melting? It would have to be extremely hot to do that. There is no such thing in a normal house. Unless, of course, this is not a normal house. I have my doubts. The kettle must have been melted by some supernatural phenomenon.
-
The sound of happy coins
Janko
The fog took me to the city and separated me from my family in the midst of preparations for the long holiday. I am reminded of this when I see the quilt that Tilly and I made together and decorated with coins. It has long been a symbol of family happiness. Would you please find the quilt?
Tillie and I spent all year on the quilt you found for us. We had the exact same quilt in the family wagon. Parents and children worked together to make the quilt. Sewing fabric and minting coins together strengthened the family bond.
-
having the same root (of a problem)
Janko
I love my adoptive father and Tillie dearly. However, these feelings did not develop immediately. At first I felt terribly sad about not having family, but being with Tillie helped ease my sadness. There is a potted apple tree next to my desk. If you find it, I will tell you a good story.
There was a similar apple tree on the wagon. My parents used to say that a family is connected like the fruit on one tree. I told this story to Tillie and she gave me this tree. Now this tree represents my love for my two families.
-
spirit of dedication
Janko
As you know, before coming to the city I was traveling with my family. My father was a jeweler and he wanted me to follow in his footsteps. I learned hard and practiced music with my mother in my spare time. The guitar by the window belonged to my mother. Could you please take the guitar?
When I was brought to the city by the fog, this guitar was with me. Everyone in my family is musically gifted. My mother's favorite was the guitar and I fell in love with it too. We used to play together for hours. It gave me a great sense of rhythm. It has also helped me in clock making.
-
interwoven
Kira Woodville
Jenko told me that their people live on an endless journey. I have heard of nomads who are skilled in metalworking. That watchmaker who has newly joined our group must be one of them. Can you see these three metal pendants?
This is a nice pendant. Mr. Yenco made this himself for Mr. Tilly. His father was a jeweler and must have taught him some skills before he came to town. Seeing young Mr. Jenko's interest in metalworking, Augusto, a watchmaker, took him on as an apprentice.
-
blue flame
Harper McGill
You may be a logical person, but sometimes you can't judge things by appearances. While investigating the cause of the fire, I found a letter in my mailbox that was burning with a strange flame. See. Because you'll see that arson may not be the only cause of the fire.
See, the letter is burning with blue flames. But it is not burnt! I examined the letter. It is a normal letter addressed to Eli. Letters, photos, drawings. Nothing interesting. It must have been set on fire by some unknown force.
-
The Power of Fire
Mr. Black
Oh, this place is horrifying...each window is like a burning eye with a sharp stare. The whole place is a mess. It seems that the inhabitants of this mansion were desperately trying to salvage something important. Let's take a look around.
Hmmm...standing in this place, I am overwhelmed with mixed emotions. Everything is terrifying and fascinating at the same time. You will surely find many unusual things.
-
get rich quick scheme
Cardsharp
Look at this! It turns out that there is a mountain of gargoyle treasure under the city! They've been stashing away priceless artifacts for years in a dungeon somewhere under the river. I'm going to find that treasure. I'll find the treasure and you can help me. I'll give you your share.
Thank God you're a guy who knows what he's talking about. Now that that's settled, let me introduce you to my friends. Hey, over here, treasure and adventure await us!
-
Wish me the best.
Ali Vazir
Oddly enough, Indira Baker's article has increased the popularity of this café. So I started looking for ways to make food that wouldn't make customers sick. For example, I tried this Starry Spice Mill. What do you think? It's great, isn't it?
Unfortunately, this Starry Spice Mill is just a nice looking thing. The scammer who sold this to me said that with it you can grind and blend any spice and make food that tastes out of this world...but I have never seen a spice mill that is as messy as this one!
-
My home is all the world
Janko
I come from a nomadic background, so my story also begins with something about my travels. Oh, I have seen so much! Golden plains, rivers stretching to the horizon, and mountains soaring to the heavens... I have spent my entire life in a wagon. I have a replica of a wagon made of porcelain on my desk. Can you find it?
Thank you for treating us so graciously. I found this at a function in town. To my surprise, it was a replica of my house! My family took care of this wagon and it protected us from storms and all sorts of adversity. This is how we have walked hundreds of roads.
-
musical investigation
Carlos Light
If I believe what Vila says she heard from the Alliance, their inventions bring happiness as well as profit. In those dark days when the fog almost engulfed everything, I used to look forward to the concertos played by the mechanical violins. Was that violin, by any chance, invented by the Alliance? Let's find out together.
Thank you. You've helped me again. The sound this violin makes is delightful and relaxing. It reminds me of the old days. It's an interesting idea. It started out as an ordinary violin, but I modified it to have more vibration. But there doesn't seem to be any sign of alliance. I guess it is also invisible to the naked eye.
-
daily or domestic articles
Carlos Light
The reason I question the credibility of the Researchers Alliance is because I don't trust Dr. Barry. Until I see the Alliance's mark on a practical invention with my own eyes, I won't believe he's a scientist and not a fraud. Vila says that the Alliance even made a bag to hold the crystals. Let's take a look.
Notice the interesting shape of this bag? Fog-proof crystals are easily broken and lose their luster when touched. So a special bag to carry the crystals would be very useful. I thought this was a collector's idea, but let's find out if it bears the mark of an alliance.
-
indelible memory
Carlos Light
I'm in the middle of gathering evidence that the Alliance of Researchers is a scientist, not a fraud, and now I need to find a bottle that preserves memories. A pawn shop owner once told me that the method of storing memories has something to do with the Alliance. Let's see if it's true.
You found the object we were talking about. It's a container made of a special alloy to preserve memories. Pawnbrokers used to use these in the beginning, though they use different containers now. Many people store their most precious memories in these containers. Let's see if there is a mark of alliance.
-
Encroachment into the cemetery
Cardsharp
Just recently, I won a game with a guy and got a recipe for something called the "Elixir of Courage". Drink it and you won't be afraid of witches anymore! First, I need to gather the ingredients for the potion, which are... well... strange. First, a handful of grave dirt. I'm afraid to go alone, so will you come with me?
Was this soil taken from a freshly dug grave? I thought I saw something bad for a second... no, I'm sure I was looking in the wrong place... thanks for helping me get the first ingredient for the elixir of courage.
-
The clue is water.
Carlos Light
I'm worried that my children are being duped by the Researchers Alliance. They may not actually be doing any research. But I heard that Vila admired the crystal fountain that the Alliance members built to make the city bloom. Let's go look for it.
This crystal fountain looks like something really useful. Do you know how it works? The crystals absorb the moisture from the fog at night, and the water flows like a fountain during the day. This is how the gatherer's roses grow. But what does the Researchers' Alliance have to do with this?
-
warning signal
Carlos Light
Vila said that the Alliance's inventions have marks on them that can only be seen by the Alliance's participants. Let's find out what the Alliance has made and find out how to find the markings. It is said that the first thing the alliance members made was a fog alarm. I had one myself, have you seen one anywhere?
This is the fog alarm. When the fog would suddenly come to rest, the crystal in the alarm would light up a few minutes before it struck, warning of danger and saving the city. I don't know the markings on the device yet, but I'll try to find out by applying various proofs.
-
flame of life
Yui
When the Lantern Festival begins, all the sky lanterns in the city need to be lit. So I asked my guardian deity, Vermillion Bird, to bring me a phoenix flame. I asked him to bring me a phoenix flame, because it burns much longer and brighter than an ordinary fire. Look at this little statue of the flame.
In a little while, I am going to light the sky lantern with this little statue. I am sure they will fly high in the sky. This kind of lantern was once used to intimidate the enemy in warfare. To make them think that God is on their side. Nowadays, however, they are used only for peaceful purposes.
-
Important pattern
Mei
In this festival, sky lanterns with pictures or wishes written on them are flown into the sky. It is said that by doing so, not only will the wishes come true, but good luck will follow for the next year. Look for beautiful stencils so that people in the city can decorate the sky lanterns!
What a beautiful stencil! I am sure the inhabitants of the heavens will love the pattern on the lanterns. After all, the lotus is the symbol of the sun and perfection. I am sure that your message will reach the heavens.
-
Symbol of Light
Yui
The most important symbol of the festival is the sky lantern. Surrounded by loved ones, they are released into the sky in a very important and romantic ceremony. Find a set of sky lanterns. Light them and make a wish!
This sky lantern set includes a bamboo frame, a hemispherical bag, and a burner. When the burner is lit, the air inside the sky lantern becomes hotter than the air outside, causing it to float in the air. Interesting, isn't it?
-
festive atmosphere
Mei
To make it an enchanting festival of lights, let's hang magical poi from the roof. Legend has it that the light of the poi will dispel the darkness of the night and bring happiness. Can you help us find the poi?
You found a magic poi! If you hang it from the roof of your house, the magic light will bring you good luck. It is beautiful as it is, but when the poi swings in the wind, the pattern of light reflected in the air is exceptionally beautiful! Soon you will be able to see it for yourself!
-
A good singing voice needs rest.
Sophia
I was surprised when my first singing teacher asked me how I slept. But I soon learned that to sing well, you have to get a good night's sleep. I'm sure the Shiny Star had a secret for getting a good night's sleep before a concert. Look for a crystal sleep aid.
Restful sleep masks can indeed help you sleep better, but they are not made of crystal...oh my, you found it well. I never noticed the ink crystal decoration on the mask. It calms me down so I can fall asleep right away. But I heard that if you wear the crystals to bed, you won't be able to dream.
-
Song like a stream of water
Sophia
To sing well, you don't have to be tense all the time. Surely that Shiny Star knew how to relax her neck and facial muscles to make her singing sound elongated. Maybe that's the secret to her dazzling success? If so, I'll have to find something made of crystal to help me relax.
You really are amazing! I can't believe I even found these little massage rollers made of rare Relaxite crystals. Have you ever experienced this smooth and cool feeling? Relaxation is the key to a bright, loud singing voice, and these are the perfect way to relax.
-
A confident crescendo
Sophia
What would it be like to bring crystal harmony to the human voice? The Shiny Star of my dreams sings as if she's using some magic elixir on her vocal chords. Yes, that's it! Maybe there's a container around here somewhere with crystals inside.
I'm glad you're here! This is a jug made of pink vigor stone. You drink the water in it and you'll feel better. I know, I just heard about it. Shiny must have been drinking this water. Her voice is not only clear but also very powerful. Even in the last song of her solo concert.
-
Hairstyles for Concerts
Sophia
When I was little, I collected a hundred Shiny Star bromides. In every picture she had nice curly hair. We're looking for the secret to her singing voice, but what if her beautiful hair gave her confidence and was the secret to her singing so well? Hey, do you have any crystal combs around here?
Well, it's an elegant comb! This one looks like it's made of fair gems. I can easily imagine Shiny holding it in her hand. They say this crystal has anti-aging properties. They also say it helps with migraines. I'm going to use this comb. Maybe it will improve my singing voice. But maybe there's something else.
-
Small leap on stage
Sophia
As a singer, I just want to say that finding the secret to a perfect singing voice is very difficult. You need the crystal tools used by the Shiny Star, who sang better than anyone else. Maybe those tools were made in a factory. Anything to do with singing?
A microphone-shaped pendant made of Twilight Stone! It's a favorite among aspiring singers. The crystals are supposed to help ease the nerves before a performance. But the photo I saw of Shiny didn't have a single piece of Twilight Stone jewelry on her. I wonder if I've missed something?
-
star in the sky
Yui
Thanks for helping me get ready for the Lantern Festival! I guess I'll start with the decorations. Actually, I recently saw a very beautiful sight in the forest. The trees were glistening with fireflies! How about replanting those trees and putting them in the center of the city?
Thanks for helping me plant them! I plan to return them to the forest after the festival is over, but they should keep the city bathed in light and nature's magic for a while. It's a wonder there shouldn't be fireflies around this time of year!
-
Special Recipes
Juliette
I can barely remember anything about my past, but I do remember a recipe for coffee made in a French press. Hopefully this will help me stay awake so the detectives can catch the nighttime thieves. Now, let's find a French press.
Handy tool, right? It only takes 5 minutes to brew a pot of coffee for the detective. I hope it turns out to be a nice strong coffee.
-
unique thing
Isabelle
So an evil curse is trying to erase the story of detective Sherman Hopkins from people's memories. But there's a countermeasure. According to Agent Dipp, Angela Crawley had a collection of items that referenced Hopkins' story. Use it to attach and hold a magical anchor to people's detective memories. Find the "blue garnet."
This "blue garnet" is a stone with a unique phenomenon. Usually these stones are red. There is a story about Sherman Hopkins investigating the theft of such a gem, but I can hardly remember it!
-
That which rises high in the sky
Conductor
The city seems to really want me to remember all the trains that have appeared in my dreams. Come to think of it, the train with the crane was also in my dream. I am sure there are letters of the alphabet on them too.
How on earth did you find the crane train so quickly? I've never seen anything like it. And it works... it can lift a load of miniatures. This train has two letters in the alphabet. It says "ME." If you join all the letters we've found so far, you get "HELP ME"...that's "HELP".
-
Anyway, moving forward!
Conductor
In my dream I was looking for a toy locomotive for a long time. The locomotive had a triangular piece called a "pilot" to push away snow and mud on the tracks. What in the world is the city trying to tell me? Look for the locomotive. Then you might find out.
Did you find a locomotive with a pilot? Oh, it works just fine! It's going to help me clean house. Hey, check this out! It's a "P" in the alphabet. I think I know what the city is trying to say... a disturbing message!
-
Train carrying scientists
Conductor
In a strange dream the city showed me, I was looking for a train with some sort of observatory on it. I've seen something similar once before, but it was part of a train carrying scientists going to observe the Northern Lights. Can you help me find a toy train with an observatory on it?
Look at this observatory. It's very small, but it has two telescopes and everything you need to do astronomical observations. There's even an alphabet...an "L" this time. Okay, let's find the rest of the train. Maybe we can string the letters of the alphabet together to make a word.
-
Source of Energy
Conductor
Oh, by the way, the toy power plant came to me in a dream. I never imagined that Martha would ask me to find a toy train... but I'm hoping you can find me a power plant on wheels.
You found a power plant on wheels? I dreamed about that too, and apparently this is no joke. Apparently the city is really trying to tell me something. Look at this... there's an "E" in the alphabet. Why an "E"? Is it some kind of code?
-
lookout
Conductor
The first thing I found in my dream was a toy train with a lookout post. I'm not sure what the city is trying to say by this, but the magic of the city usually manifests itself in... strange ways. Okay, let's find the sentry train.
You found a colorful and beautiful sentry train. Hey, there's something written here! It's... an "H" in the alphabet. What does it mean? Okay, let's look for another train. Maybe there's another letter of the alphabet on it.
-
first frost of the year
Francesca Bonmarito
I'm almost done with my fall armchair. But I'd like to do a few more last minute embellishments. I've heard that at the market in Trolls you can buy a material that evokes the first frost at the end of autumn. It's called "glass of dragons." Could you go find some of that for me?
I'm going to decorate my armchair with the dragon glass you found for me. It will add a cool sparkle to the warm hues of the chairs. That way, I can show the Autumn Queen that I am not only good with colors, but also with contrasts. Now, let's go show her our work.
-
Blood covered with fog
Vera
Everything needs to be done almost simultaneously and quickly. So I've prepared in advance the fog to be injected. But I need your help to get the fog inside.
Can you hold the injector up? I'm going to carefully pour the mist in the test tube... thank goodness I have this handy! Okay, it's done. All that's left is to get a drop of the mist inside the heart. After that, how should I put it... "the first push" to help. Yes, like an emotional heart massage.
-
How to resuscitate the heart
Vera
We need to restart Jenko's heart after injecting the fog. But all the keys in this huge clock tower are too big. I'm sure I found the proper one in my belongings... where did I put it?
I'm glad you found your keys! I don't usually lose things... maybe I was just a little overexcited. I haven't had such a unique event in a long time! Well, let's get right to the heart... good, this key is perfect for restarting Jenko's heart.
-
rusty heart
Vera
Yenco's heart lost some much-needed fog, but that's not the only problem. It seems that the mechanism inside has not been lubricated for a long time. No wonder it's broken! The lubricant Jenko uses in his watches is called pearl oil. Can you bring it to me?
Thanks for bringing the pearl oil. It is in this tower for a reason. The special feature of this oil is that it will not harm any living creature thanks to its organic composition. In other words, if you put it on Jenko's heart as a lubricant, he will not be affected by the toxicity.
-
Spiced drinks
Amina
It is worrisome that there are criminals who burglarize at night. Let's hope the brave detectives will catch them. Arabic coffee is a great way to wake up from sleep. It will surely help the detective. If you bring an Arabian coffee pot, I will show you how to brew coffee.
I used to brew coffee with my family in a pot like this and add cardamom instead of sugar. I bet this would cheer up the detectives and help them catch the thief.
-
Oriental Panacea
Inspector
It is my duty to help my colleagues in their attempts to catch criminals. I will teach you how to brew coffee on hot sand using a coffee pot called Jezweh. I learned it when I was doing some difficult research in the Orient. Can you go find me some jez veh?
The sand warms the jezwe evenly, which makes for a very aromatic, rich, foamy coffee. I'm sure drinking it will give the detectives a boost of energy and maybe even help them catch the thief.
-
Refresh with bitterness
Adeline Svensson
Until the thief is caught, I won't be able to complete my article on the case either. So I'm going to teach you how to make a special coffee so that the detectives won't doze off on their nighttime stakeout. Can you bring the percolator?
The percolator was invented by the English and improved by the Americans. It makes a very strong and bitter cup of coffee. It keeps the detectives on their toes.
-
Coffee Ceremony
Hanako
If you intend to catch those who commit crimes out of greed, please let me help you. Let me show you how to brew a strong cup of coffee in Japan. With this coffee, the detective may be able to catch the thief in the night. But for that, you will need a coffee dripper. Can you find it for me?
When brewing coffee with this dripper, it is important to perform all the small movements correctly, like a ritual. Coffee brewed with this dripper will surely keep the detective awake all night long!
-
Relax in the Sea
Captain Drake
Well, I guess I'll just relax and enjoy myself. I need a cabin on the ship. Can you help me with that? I need at least a hammock to rest in. Would you be willing to help me find one?
Thanks for the hammock! The cabins are fine. A little more cramped than the last one. This ship is not luxurious...
-
a stitch in time
Captain Drake
I hope no one falls off the boat on the way to Anfila. But just in case, the ship needs a safety ring.
I hope this safety ring doesn't sink and properly rescues the drowning person.
-
Let's steer to port!
Captain Drake
After a thorough inspection of the vessel, I discovered a few important parts were missing. They are the rudder and the rudder wheel. Can you help me find the right parts for my boat?
Well done! The rudder fits perfectly with the squadron, and you've got the rudder wheel to control the ship very well.
-
iron meteorite
Vera
Mr. von Oben made Jenko's heart without using fog. Which means the materials he used were not appropriate. Just like the "heart" at the heart of the clock. Which leaves us with the need for... well, Jenko said he had a Thaynite sundial. Can you find that for me?
Tainite is a material made from meteorite, it's extremely robust, yet lightweight. To prevent the hearts of Yenco and the clock from being damaged by too much exposure to the fog, we can protect them with this refined version of the sundial.
-
The Heartbeat of Fog
Vera
It seems that Jenko's entry into the fog has caused much more serious damage than he himself thought oy. To test if my hypothesis is correct, I'm going to run some tests on the chemical reactions involved in the fog. I'm going to activate a condensation reagent in my hand and point it in Jenko's direction. Okay?
Okay, hold your breath...I knew it. The condensation reagents responded clearly and distinctly to Jenko's heartbeat. It seems his heart is fundamentally connected to the fog. It was the fog that kept his clockwork heart ticking.
-
Forest Velvet
Francesca Bonmarito
Do you think the Autumn Goddess would like it if I used a green color for the armchairs, reminiscent of forest moss? Yes, I would use a velvet fabric in that color. And then decorate it with more real moss. Let's find a velvet fabric!
It's fabulous! This fabric, decorated with forest moss, will be the star of my armchair. The colors are so eye-catching! It's like the unique and beautiful textures that autumn creates at the change of seasons. I wish I could learn some of its secrets.
-
openwork pattern
Francesca Bonmarito
I want to do well on the assignment given to me by the Autumn Goddess and make sure it's an armchair that will get high marks from her. So I had an idea. Instead of a regular backrest, why not use an openwork piece that represents a tree with branches spreading wide? Can you help me find that?
Thanks for not giving up and finding the openwork tree! I'm glad it was you who asked for it. I can learn a lot from you. Now, let's attach this openwork to the chair. And now we need to find materials for the upholstery.

Vivid details
Francesca Bonmarito
The Autumn Goddess told me to use rich colors in decorating my chairs because the colors of fall are so vibrant. But don't overdo it. You might even decorate your chairs with berries. Look for ones that are well ripened!
The Autumn Goddess will love the berries here. I'm sure she would love the berries in here, as they contain the toadstools and ripe roses that she herself often uses to decorate her forests! I'm sure they would make a bright addition to my armchair.

Nuts and Gears
Alicia
To find out why this clock was broken, we need to examine the biggest part of it: the gear train. The rows of gears are what make timekeeping possible. Without the gears, the clock would not work. Let's examine the gears one by one.
It's a strange array of gears. The gears are all different shapes and sizes, some of them too big... yet they are all very precisely positioned. You touch one and the whole thing moves. It doesn't look like this is the part that's broken.
-
Needle movement
Alicia
I wonder if the clock was broken because of the lumontoir of the clock hands. The moving part of the clock is important, but it's useless if the hands don't move correctly. They can get caught on something or move in the opposite direction. Let's examine the remontoire of the hands.
That's strange...I don't think I would have known where the lumeoir was if Jenko hadn't told me. It's like a heart valve...or rather, this part is designed to wind the clock without the help of the hands, but it seems to move the hands at the same time. Interesting.
-
Hypnotic vibrations
Alicia
To understand why the clock in the clock tower broke, I need to examine the pendulum. Maybe it got stuck and stopped, or maybe some small scratch caused the hands to come off. Let's move the pendulum from side to side and see what happens.
Wow...this pendulum is made of gold. It's rare. It's light as a feather and shiny as new. Not only that... it shakes as if it feels the movement of the clock.
-
Beautiful armrests
Francesca Bonmarito
I never thought I would be taught by the Queen of the Fall herself! I guess anything really can happen in the City of Shadows. I hope I can complete the task of making the Autumn Armchair...but first I need a carved armrest. Can you help me find some?
You found the perfect armrest for my chair! Look at all those pretty pine cones decorating it. I'm sure the Goddess of Autumn will notice.

Dream of Robbery
Lucas
As soon as we pried open the rim of the vessel and found the keyhole, the artifact inside began to growl as if it were alive! It seemed to want us to release it. A closer look at the keyhole gave me an idea on how to open it. My sister had a rare master key. Could you get it for me?
You are lucky that the security device in your sister's lab allowed her to take the masterki through you! The purpose of Vila making that thing herself...let's not talk about this! Did you see how flexible this key is? It can transform into the right shape and open any lock. Artifact, I'm coming to you!
-
Dragon Weaknesses
Carlos Light
We investigated the vessel. I was confident that there was no danger and I could retrieve the artifact. I found a description of a similar vessel in my memorandum. There should be a keyhole on one of the edges. You can use an artifact cutter to pry it open. Can you help me find it?
Sharp artifact cutter. It is a perfect match! It may look like it is made of metal, but the cutter is actually made of a shell that has been left in the mist for centuries and is now harder than steel. Pry open the rim of the vessel... here is the keyhole!
-
The Price of Light
Carlos Light
By examining the artifact vessel, it is clear that there is no threat to us and that the energy of creation resides within. However, it should be noted that even this type of energy can be harmful if present in excess. Look for the illuminance meter in my bag. Let's take a measurement.
How unusual...the illuminometer shows the same moderate amount of energy, but this is being produced incessantly! How in the world? A similar reaction occurs with the wanderer's lantern, but the excess energy supports its owner. So what is the effect of this artifact?
-
all things being in flux through the endless circle of birth, death, and rebirth
Lucas
The vessel must be opened carefully so as not to damage the artifact. Where would the wanderer take this...no, I guess it doesn't matter. I put litmus flower seeds in mine to test the type of energy in the vessel. Let's see how it goes.
How beautiful! The seed did not die, but grew into a beautiful litmus flower! If there was dark energy in the vessel, the flower would have been full of thorns and poisonous, but this bud is full of life and youth. This artifact harbors powerful creative energy. There is no doubt about it!
-
There is only one way to go forward
Alicia
Next to the mainspring is the trigger mechanism. It takes the energy provided by the spring and converts it into momentum to move the watch. The trigger mechanism is located here. You check the back. I'll look at the front.
I see nothing wrong with this trigger mechanism. But what's interesting is that the teeth on the gangue wheel that controls the movement of the clock hands and the pendulum aren't uniform. And the rhythm of the clock isn't interrupted at all. You have the gears turning at different speeds to control the movement as precisely as if it were a living creature.
-
Energy of Time
Alicia
If I'm right, we should look at the clock's mainspring first. It's what drives the clock. Well, how big is it? Let's go over this together.
The spring seems to be working properly. Surprisingly, it is a perpetual motion machine. It contracts and contracts without a break, just like real heart muscle. It can maintain its momentum without any help. The designer must be a genius inventor!
-
safety first
Carlos Light
We were able to retrieve the artifact vessel from the disciples of The Shadow. The next step is to remove the contents, thoroughly examine them, and then hand them over to the wanderers. First, we need to make sure that the vessel does not contain any dangerous substances. Please hand over the analytical reagents to us.
Thanks for passing on the analytical reagents. Our lighting husband uses this to test quartz crystals. The reagent itself consists of a liquid gas that is produced in the mine. It changes color when it comes in contact with toxic substances. This shade is within normal limits.

light that strikes down
Carlos Light
A battle with the disciples of the Shadow over a dangerous artifact is approaching. We have collected many items to help us in the battle, but we have yet to obtain the blade of light. It is the only thing that can cut through the darkness that surrounds the Disciples of Shadow. Let us find the blade of light!
This is the blade of light you found! No one knows where in the city these were made, or how many swings there are. According to the collectors, the blades are made of "hard light" that was created on the day the "distortion" occurred. I do not know either who made them, but thanks to him, I am ready to fight against the disciples of the "shadow"!
-
air of skill
Lucas
Once you have cornered the "shadow" disciples, you need to stop them from escaping and taking the artifact again. I think the invention of the villa's properties will help. It should be somewhere in the misty back streets...can you help me find the obedient lasso?
You have found an obedient lasso! Vila made it out of crystal rope with a flexible cable inside. It looks like a snake and can be operated by remote control! My sister used the lasso to put equipment in the hidden vaults, but it's also perfect for catching "shadow" disciples.
-
Stronger than stone
Lucas
It will not be easy to take the artifact from the Disciples of the Shadow, but we must do it to protect the city! Vila taught us to be prepared for any eventuality. What if the disciples of The Shadow run away without a fight? Then it's up to us to kick their asses with the bracelets of fierceness! Can you find them?
You found the bracelet of the clash! Sheriff Keira was the first to tell me that it was made of so called "inverted metal". When it collides with something, it releases a destructive vibration that shatters even stone! This will allow us to hunt down the "shadow" disciples wherever they are hiding!

Hope of Salvation
Janko
My father decided to perform a type of surgery to save my life. This was a surgery that had been performed before on members of the von Oben family who, for one reason or another, were no longer able to adjust their heartbeats to the rhythm of the clock. It was a high-risk operation, but there was no longer any other way to save me. And a prototype of the heart was created.
The prototype of this heart was based on the clockmaker's records my father found in the secret section of the archives. I underwent surgery and was implanted with this special clockwork heart. Fortunately, the operation was a success and the new heart began to work normally.
-
A father's pride.
Janko
When Tillie first disappeared, my father blamed me. But when my heart weakened, he understood everything and regretted his previous actions. For him, the loss of another child was unbearable. He gave me the von Oben name and a ring that had been in the family for generations. Look at the engraving on this ring.
This ring is engraved with the phoenix, the family crest of the von Oben family. By giving it to me, my father appointed me as his successor. This set my father free. He then decided to take certain dangerous actions to save my life.
-
The most dangerous game
Carlos Light
The disciples of The Shadow are cunning and dangerous enemies. If we go to take the artifact, they will be furious. To win the battle, we will need to surprise them. I have an idea. Find the dice in the sky. I will explain later.
You were lucky to find a celestial dice. They were made by a magician who made a name for himself as having invoked the sun. Throw the dice on the board and they will unleash the illusion of a bright, shining sun, which at first glance will terrify the disciples of the Shadow. They will be confused and we should be able to fight to our advantage.
-
The Ridgehead of the Brave
Lucas
The Shadow's disciples have tried to hunt me in the past and everyone has put themselves in danger to protect me... I don't want to hide anymore. I don't want to hide anymore, especially when they have stolen a cooperative artifact. I have an idea of what I could use! Get the Defender's Shield. I'll explain what it is in a moment!
The defender's shield is a very heavy object. We would not have been able to obtain it without you! This shield was made of meteoric iron by one of the first defenders. Do you see this mark? Even the hands of a flaming mummy cannot burn and break through this barrier. It will definitely protect us from the attacks of the "shadow" disciples!

favourable wind
Captain Drake
I'm glad the boat has a mast. I'd be very happy to find a sail too.
I'm surprised you found it. It looks brand new. There's only one place it's been mended.
-
cardiac arrest
Janko
After wandering around in the fog and returning to the clock tower, my heart began to fail. The symptoms got worse and worse, and my father called a doctor. Since it was a very rare condition, the doctor brought a special device for me. I am sure it was around here somewhere. Could you please find it?
This red hourglass told me of my heart condition. The doctors told me that such a disease caused by fog had never been studied before and that there was nothing they could do. But my father refused to accept this prognosis.
-
Phantom of Oblivion
Janko
Let me continue my story about my heart. As I was moving into the fog looking for Tilly, strange things began to happen to me. It was as if the fog was talking to me and showing me visions. Then a glowing thread appeared. I continued walking, coiling it. Look, there it is.
With this string wound, I returned to the clock tower. To my surprise, someone brought me back. However, my relief at the end of my perilous journey had a terrible ending...
-
Whistle to call family
Janko
Before Tillie disappeared, I had a normal heart just like yours truly. However, when my sister disappeared, I felt guilty and lonely, and I got into trouble. To find my sister, I went out with only a little equipment and my sister's bird whistle. The bird whistle is over there. You can blow it too.
Tilly is well aware of the sound of this bird whistle and our own special cues. One day I went to the fog border and just kept blowing my whistle. After a little while I thought I heard my sister respond. I later found out that this was a trap to call me into the thick fog.
-
Sudden Farewell
Janko
The first to disappear was Tilly. She disappeared without a trace, leaving her wheelchair in the room. We thought that she had managed to raise herself up using the strength of her arms. But I was too sad to notice one strange thing... Could I borrow some of your tools? Unscrew the handle of my sister's wheelchair.
Thank you for lending me your tools. I found a puzzling symbol under the armrest of Tilly's wheelchair. It may be some kind of code or coordinates. I believe it is a message from my sister's correspondent. What if that person helped her escape?
-
Pieces of a Broken Heart
Janko
I may have been the cause of my father and sister's disappearance. My father, who did not like the fact that I was slowly teaching my sister about the outside world, forbade us to talk. Do you see the burnt bracelet on my arm?
Tilly had the same bracelet. When she could no longer talk to me, she burned it in anger and threw it away. I found it and kept it, hoping that one day my father would come to his senses and allow me to talk to my sister.
-
harsh reality
Janko
Tilly's disappearance may have been due to my father's inability to get out of the tower. My father treated my sister like a fragile ornament, but she had a strong desire to explore the world and would certainly have done so had my father not interfered. I tried to entertain her as much as possible. See that hat with the tambourine on the wall over there?
Funny hat, right? This is the one I bought for Tilly at the gala. Every night when I came back from the city, I would tell my sister what was going on. She saw the world through me. And she was good at drawing, so she left a flask painting of the world as she saw it through me on the wall of this house.
-
family trouble
Janko
I believed that the disappearance of my father and sister was related to discord within the family. The conflict began to occur when Tilly started living in a wheelchair. She and my father began to argue frequently, and there were even times when things flew over the tower. The same is true of the apples on that shelf. Please take that one.
It is held together with gold glue, but do you see the crack in the apple? Tilly broke it in a fit of anger. She later cried and fixed it. After the death of his wife, Augusto became unusually overprotective of his daughter. She was not even allowed to leave the house, and this was unbearable to her freedom-loving sister.
-
vague recollection
Janko
Shortly before I showed up, tragedy struck the von Oben family. A large cog fell out of the clock mechanism...her mother died and Tillie was forced to live in a wheelchair. The only image of her beautiful mother remains in that mirror.
The reflection in this mirror is Tilly's mother. According to her sister, when she was a little girl, she made her mother sit in front of that mirror and traced the outline of her face with paint. It may seem surprising, but these lines, which seem to have been drawn at random, accurately represent the loving and kind Mrs. von Oben.
-
token of love
Janko
To understand the reason for Tillie and my father's disappearance, we need to retrace what has happened so far from the beginning. Before I showed up, there were three people living here: my father, mother, and young Tilly. They were a loving family, and this bell is a symbol of that. Please take a moment to breathe here.
Very beautiful sound, don't you think? Augusto and his wife had a rule. Every year on their wedding anniversary, they would hang a bell from this pendant as a sign of their love for each other. The bell has not been rung for a long time, but you have just rung it for me.
-
Time of Life
Janko
My destiny is closely tied to the von Oben family and their talent as watchmakers. I began to learn the craft from Tilly at an early age. My father soon realized that I had a rare talent. I made my first clock when I was 10 years old. Look, it's on the wall over there.
You see, I engraved my name on the back. It is a perpetual motion mechanism with metal horse legs running in circles. My father saw this and said I had a natural talent.
-
another world
Janko
You still can't believe that I am from the von Oben family? If so, how do you explain that you know so much about this clock tower? For example, there is other evidence that Tilly and I were close. Among the many books I have is an adventure novel. Could you search for that with me?
Oh, there it is! This was the first gift I gave Tillie, and my father told her not to read it. The reason was that he did not want her to have "nonsense fantasies". So I tore out the pages in secret, hid them in a feather and gave them to my sister piece by piece.
-
Faithful friend
Janko
In order for you to believe that I belong to the von Oben family, I must mention the watchmaker's daughter. My favorite Tilly...she was three years older than me. We didn't get along at first. If Phoenix hadn't shown up, we might have remained at odds for a long time. Now, let me introduce you.
Are you surprised to see a bird that can talk? Phoenix is a very special bird. Having lived with a family of watchmakers for centuries, she immediately noticed that Tilly was jealous of me. The Phoenix arranged for me and Tilly to become friends by sharing interesting situations.
-
eyes of the night
Janko
I have lived in the von Oben family for a long time, so there are many of my belongings in this tower. At first there was nothing, but it has gradually increased. The first thing I got when I came here was a monocular with a flashlight. My father gave it to me, but I haven't used it for a long time... where did it go? Can you help me find it?
Thank you for finding my father's monocular. I was very shy at the time. I was used to living in a carriage, and living in a high tower was uncomfortable for me. So I started exploring the house at night. My father noticed this and gave me a monocular with a flashlight.
-
Memories of Home
Janko
I understand your feelings, as it is probably part of your job to suspect strangers. However, I can attest that I am the heir to Von Oben. He took me in when I was very young. He only had one pendant with him. Here, look at this.
This pendant is the only item that relates to my life before I was adopted by Mr. von Oben. It is a protective talisman for the nomadic tribe from which I was born. That tribe makes its living raising horses and making jewelry out of precious metals. I still sometimes fondly recall the sensation of the rocking carriage.
-
bird's-eye view
Alicia
Look at this tower, it looks like it's been very well taken care of. There are even flowers planted around it! The door is open, so getting in should be easy. The only obstacle is that long and steep staircase...but the designer must have set up a clever trap. Do you want to go up there to try?
Hahahaha...I think I know what the designers were going for. Everyone who makes it to the top of these stairs is going to want to drink a big gulp of water and then fall into bed. Ah, here we are at last. But the view is amazing! I've never looked down on the city from so high up. It's so beautiful!
-
Stern and Deck
Captain Drake
Thanks for finding the magic medallion. I've spoken with Anfira and she still hasn't forgiven me. I'm just getting more and more eager to meet her properly and present her with the jewelry and regain her old feelings for me. But how am I supposed to get to the Sea Kingdom if I don't have a ship coming in? I am the captain of a famous pirate ship, and now I am just a rookie sailor! I just need you to find me a sailing ship, no matter how crappy it is.
Oh my God, I'm so beat up! Captain, I'm sorry, I'm just saying. I'm sure with a few repairs it will float.
-
endless passage
Huntress
There's another entrance to the witch's abode. It is behind the statue of Martha. I wonder if she knew what fate awaited her and prepared this entrance? Maybe we'll find out if we can make this work.
An open entrance leads to an endless passage filled with dense magic... This entrance was made by Martha. What the hell is this place?

cornucopia
Juliette
Help the gatekeepers get rid of the gem bugs in town. Before the lady returns! Dear friends, is that a "ruby stag" hiding among the pretty Easter decorations? Let's catch it!
You brought me a "ruby stag." Look how noble... anyway, I'm glad I didn't catch a real stag!
-
red-hot sparks
Carlos Light
For some time now I have been longing for an opportunity to fight the disciples of the Shadow. They have had enough of the repeated threats to my children and now they have dangerous artifacts in their hands. But we should be very careful in our preparations. There may be an exploding pea in my belongings. Could you please look for it?
Thank goodness I didn't forget my exploding peas at home! My daughter and I developed these capsules enriched with moonlight. Besides helping to illuminate dark places, the exploding peas store enough light to ward off the "shadow" disciples who have an affinity for darkness.
