excellent workmanship
Roger Doubledeal
It would not be surprising if it was Roxy who was brave enough to send me a black cat. In fact, I recently won a lot of money by beating her in a three-shell game. Shall I tell you what trick I used? First, I took the ball in my hand, then I used a special thimble...
You are very good with thimble! As you can see, there is nothing fishy about my trick. It's all in my hands. But Roxy thinks I cheat. But when I think about it, she is not the type to use the black cat's curse for revenge, no matter how malicious she may be.
-
magic potion
Roger Doubledeal
Maybe it was the "foggy powers that be" who sent me the black cat, the organizer of the rooster race. My rooster won first place and received a trophy called the "Miracle Rooster," which was made of pure gold...I must have been the only one who got such a big chunk of gold!
That rooster you are holding is very expensive. The race organizers accused me of doping, but they could find no evidence. I had no idea that the magic potion that gives you a speed boost was forbidden! But the "foggy authority" is a dog lover. I find it hard to believe that he sent his cat.
-
best player
Roger Doubledeal
My competitors are jealous of my luck. No wonder one of them sent me a black cat that brings bad luck. For example, Johnny the Silent has tried many times to steal my bracelet trophy...oh dear, my bracelet is missing! Please look for it with me!
I'm glad you found it. Thank you! Only the best poker players can win this trophy. When I played against Silent Johnny, he was furious when I took this trophy from him. But...he is allergic to cats. I don't think he was the one who sent me that black cat.
-
negative influence
Detective
Buddy, I think I may have figured out who the guy was in compartment 8. But the train is messing with my head. The guide told me this would happen... but yes, an artifact might be able to protect my eyes from the negative energy of the fog express. Can you lend it to me?
While the artifact is paying off the negative energy of the Fog Express, let's check out what we've collected so far. Lottery tickets, poker charms, and a money clip with the initials "R.D." on it...Hey, Mr. R.D., who are you? Wait a minute... are you Roger Double Deal? Yes, I'm sure of it! I've got the research papers right here, too!
-
Exposing the fraud
Detective
There is no doubt that it was the passenger in compartment 8 who brought the black cat to town. We need to find out who the owner of that pesky cat is at all costs! Oh, by the way, there was a card stuck in the dartboard. Is this another gambling ritual? Let's take the card and find out.
I see the dart has gone through the card and is firmly stuck in the board. It looks as if someone threw it in anger. The back of the card says "Dodger"...maybe "R.D." got caught cheating with this card. Maybe that's why he was so outraged that he stabbed the card with a dart.
-
First Steps to Holidays
Valerie
Why did Nicholas listen to the silly advice in the diary? I can't believe Santa wrote this! Hopefully the students know something. What else is a symbol of Christmas? A wreath, right, candy... okay! How about looking for presents in slippers?
Christmas is a time of surprise and anticipation. The first surprise is when you wake up. You're about to put on your slippers when you find a present!
-
Scent of Holidays
Juliette
Dear friend, Christmas won't come without finding out where Nicholas got the diary! I know the ingredients for Icy's magic. It's a perfume that smells of orange, fir tree, and cinnamon. Even the mansion is filled with this scent at Christmas. By order of the landlady. Can you find the scent of Christmas for me?
Close your eyes and you'll picture a Christmas tree decorated in orange! Take this to Icy. This will help break the spell cast by her friends.
-
Gambling Superstitions
Detective
I thought it might be someone who manipulates black magic since he has a cursed cat, but it looks like the odds are more likely to be a gambler. But this mysterious amulet seems to be imbued with magical powers...Hey, there's something written on the back. Hey, there's something written on the back, but it's hard to read because it's almost faded. Can you take a look at it?
The "card amulet brings good luck to poker players..."? Sounds like it's just a good luck charm, not something with magic in it. Thanks for the help, buddy!
-
Named ornaments
Detective
We've learned a few interesting things about the man we think is the owner of the black cat, but we still haven't figured out the key to his identity. Hey, something is glowing under the seat! That's a money clip. Can you reach it?
This money clip has a four-leaf clover on it. This is a sign of good luck. And it has "R.D." engraved on the inside. That's my man, you found a good one! Do you know anyone with those initials?
-
hunger at night
Cardsharp
According to your theory, your students will tell you where the ominous diary came from? The most important symbol of Christmas is this guy. Find Santa's candy. When I was a kid, I used to sneak them in the middle of the night. I swear. I didn't get any presents after that.
Milk, cookies, sweet treats... the only thing better than the treats people make for Santa is a free and generous dinner. What? I'm thrifty, you know.
-
Lottery winners
Detective
The train has been coming and going for a long time with no one on board. That's why I'm so curious as to who was in compartment 8. There was a trace of ink on the table...that's what they use for lottery tickets. It must have fallen out somewhere. Let's find the lottery ticket!
I knew you were right! Buddy, we make a great team! Look at these lottery numbers... this is a winning ticket. Looks like the Goddess of Fortune has smiled on us! Oh, here's some more. That's a lot... you're a very lucky man!
-
Drinking cocktails
Detective
Buddy, any idea who Rei's passenger is? Our guide once told me. You can tell a lot about a passenger by looking at his or her drink. Check around the minibar. You might find something interesting.
The passenger in compartment 8 was apparently traveling alone. See, there's only one cup, right? The ice in it is shaped like a dice! Maybe he's a gambler. If that's the case... this passenger could be a friend of the card cheater!
-
Mayor's Request
Detective
Okay, the door's open. Let's hurry up and check inside the compartment. The train could leave at any moment. I don't want to become a ghost and be trapped on this horrible train forever.
Oh, this compartment is much larger than I expected. The seats are soft, the windows are large, and it's quite comfortable. There's something on the tablecloth. It's... cat hair! That means that this is definitely the compartment where the unidentified passenger was riding with the cat. Maybe he'll come back later, since his luggage was left behind.
-
Inspirational Songs
Huntress
The frozen youths may know where Nicholas got Santa's diary from. But it's important to unleash them. On Christmas Eve, people bond in their hearts by singing holiday songs. I remember singing that song as a kid. For Icy's anti-magic, find a holiday songbook.
When I was little, my sister and I had a Christmas songbook very similar to this one. Icy needs this one. He's going to break the spell on the students and ask them about their journals.
-
No time for kissing.
Icy
I have never made any magic against Christmas ice! Santa told me about that theory, but I never had the chance to try it... but you are right. If I don't do it, I can't save my friends. Um, the root of the magic of Christmas is the mistletoe ornament. Can you please find it?
According to tradition, those under the mistletoe should kiss. Unfortunately, there is no time to perform such a lovely act...but the mistletoe can help.
-
Crystal Forest
Conductor
Nicholas visits only the most dangerous and coldest places in the human world. But why? I saw a frozen tree somewhere in the school. You can only find a crystal tree like that in Siberia, on the border with the Arctic Circle. But it got lost in all the Christmas toys. Can you help me find it?
How beautiful. But it's a scary cold crystal tree. I mean ice tree, of course. My hands are starting to hurt from the cold. I wonder if this Nicholas boy has been collecting these dangerous toys...
-
Arctic Light
Lady Peacock
What was he looking for when he went out? Could it be that the boy we suspect was simply fascinated by the beauty of the ice? My colonel once told me about the Northern Lights in Norway. I saw a similar frozen light at school. Would you please find it?
This icy light is as beautiful as the aurora borealis that Gallahard mentioned. But there is something dangerous about this beauty. Why did Nicholas freeze this light?
-
Catching Waves
Valerie
I don't like this Nicholas guy or his secretive behavior, to be frank! By the way, I saw what looked like ocean waves around here. At first I thought they were made of glass. Now that I think about it, they must be ice! Can you find those frozen waves?
Wow, a real frozen wave! Nicholas definitely found this in Chicago. When it suddenly gets cold, the waves on Lake Michigan freeze.
-
tamed nature
Icy
We were collecting Santa's magical Christmas constructs...the other day I saw a chunk of crystal with a snowstorm bellowing inside. We didn't have anything like that at school before! Only Nicholas could bring a snowstorm with magic in it. Was he up to something nefarious? Please find that blizzard.
There is no way that Nicholas could have caught such a powerful blizzard except during a period of unusual blizzard conditions in New York City. What was he thinking, collecting such dangerous nature?
-
cold sip
Martha
I can feel the otherworldly cold air present in the school of wonders that happens at Christmas. I can't stop shivering because of it. It must be because of what Nicholas brought back from the portal. But why would he need something like that? Look for something frozen. That should answer the question. How about a cold drink in a glass?
I was thinking about iced tea, and this is an iceberg in a glass itself! I wouldn't want to drink this stuff if I were you. I don't know how he did it, but Nicholas had access to Antarctic glaciers. But why?
-
Delicate brushwork
Valerie
The painter in my dreams is getting more and more chatty. I'm sure I'll miss him when I return all the pencils and he doesn't come around. He wants me to find him some mechanical pencils. Help me find them.
The mechanical pencils found are called mechanical pencils because the lead comes out mechanically. But the lead itself is graphite, just like a regular pencil. This impressive name has many meanings!
-
Expensive tools
Valerie
I'm kind of becoming friends with the painter in my dreams. I'm not afraid anymore. Last night he asked me for a silver pen. It's a special tool for painting. I hope I can find it.
It's a silver pen. It's amazing! This tool is used to paint on surfaces with special workmanship. For example, during the Renaissance, canvases were covered with bone dust. It took a long time to master the art of painting, because once something was painted, it could not be redone. You can't erase what you've painted with it.
-
Christmas Messenger
Mistress
With a caretaker's megaphone, he can manipulate and command others. Santa entrusting such an artifact to a child? I wouldn't be surprised if the child was into power. Find your sponsor's megaphone and see if I'm right.
Maybe a caretaker megaphone would make a lazy servant like Juliette more agile. I don't see any evidence of this ever being used.
-
The Curse of the Holidays
Conductor
Let me help you. Let me tell you something good. If you're a Santa student who's been learning the holiday formulas, you can easily stage a hazard! You're right on the money. I've known mathematicians like that before... find a holiday navigator. Maybe, just maybe, they can lead you to the suspect.
Navigating the holidays isn't exactly a real world tool. This particular science is needed for Santa's sleigh... these calculations are incomplete. The problem occurred when the student was working on these calculations. It's not his fault.
-
knowledge is power
Martha
Santa entrusted his Christmas records to his most intelligent student. Could this student have used his vast knowledge for nefarious purposes? There are too many documents here. It's not easy to find a file with all those records... we have to find the Christmas records and find the truth.
It's not hard to read the Christmas records. It's all here, all the secrets of Christmas! I don't blame the owner of the record book. Look around, he was working when the problem happened.
-
Holiday Clock
Mayor
The broken celestial body and the state of this school. Who in the world is responsible? The most punctual of Santa's students will see Christmas come to the world. It is inconceivable that such a person would do such a wicked thing. But we must be sure. Find me the star clock.
I wish I had one of these star clocks. It would help me to keep time exactly! But it is obvious that the owner dropped this watch when the problem arose... he is not a suspect.
-
Infinite Present
Detective
Valerie's idea is over the top, but it's not a bad one. In fact, the only clues we have now are the tools to enhance Santa's talents. With any luck, we'll find out who it was that was interfering. Let's wash the items on the list as soon as possible. Can you help me find the endless gifts?
Does this endless gift-giving really give out an endless supply of things that people want for Christmas? Too bad you're not a wizard, man...
-
disinfection by magic
Valerie
Hey, do you think one of the students ignored Santa's warning and destroyed that celestial body on purpose? In the world I was in, they used a special ultraviolet lamp to disinfect it. Maybe that would work for magical infections? Let's find a lamp with ultraviolet light!
In the human world, UV lamps aren't that fancy. But the usage is the same. They are celestial objects that emit ultraviolet light to exorcise evil magic!
-
Signs of Danger
Huntress
The only way to get rid of the shadows that haunt this school and remove the dangerous magic is to be decisive and aggressive. Most of these monsters see a red light as a sign of danger. Find the red light. Show it to them.
I'm going to try this ruby lamp attached to Martha's celestial body. If it works for the spirits, I'll make something similar for myself.
-
cold light
Alex
To fix the Christmas celestial body and dispel whatever is surrounding the Santa artifact, we should look for a cold lamp with blue light. I don't know what magical powers that thing has. But as a ghost, blue light is not pleasant.
Put it in the Christmas celestial body and the blue lamp will exorcise the evil magic and the spirits in the school. Just don't point it at me, you know what I mean? Hey, was this note under the lamp?
-
Golden Sunshine
Juliette
I hear you're rebuilding your defenses against magic? I don't know anything about spells. But fairy tales say that evil souls lose their power at the first light of the sun. And there is wisdom to be learned in fairy tales. I wonder if you can find a yellow lamp that resembles the light of the sun?
Oh, look at the warmth this sun lamp gives off. I want you to give this to Martha. I want you to get rid of that shadow around Santa's mysterious artifact!
-
green light
Martha
The Christmas celestial body protects Santa's artifact from magical interference. Without this celestial body, Santa's artifact would be defenseless against hostile magic. The green energy in the celestial body is the basis of defensive magic. Simply put, the primary light bulb is green. Can you find the magic green pillar stone lantern?
This is exactly what I needed! This green light will dispel the aura around Santa's artifact. If it's a simple magical one.
-
Aphrodisiac Brooch
Martha
None of the accessories worn by the woman in the black dress are ordinary. They are powerful magical artifacts. This brooch on her shoulder, for example, any witch in the world would know. Find this brooch. But be careful. Don't stick your hand in the sharp edge!
This brooch is a kind of love charm. If a man agrees to wear it, his heart becomes a slave. It will obey whatever the owner of the brooch desires. No matter how lowly.
-
ink stain
Martha
It's a woman in a black dress with a rose ring inked on her hand. I found the same thing in a pile of wedding decorations in this hall. The ornaments are tossed on the floor as if they were worth nothing! Every accessory is brand new. There's even a price tag on one of them. Find the rose ring in ink.
This rose of the ring... it is said that spells written in the ink of this rose are twice as strong as normal.
-
Onyx bracelet
Martha
You chose an unusual accessory. Look at the bracelet the woman in the black dress is wearing on her hand. It's black onyx. It is a magical gemstone used in many black magic rituals. Even I don't wear it casually. Where can I find it?
Look at this. The stones in this bracelet are jet black! It's as if they are avoiding even light. The surface is not even reflective! Inside there is the letter M. It's the same letter that was on the sorcerer's signature.
-
Maiden Medallion
Detective
I think there is an important clue in this portrait... this black dress is adorned with jewelry, but the mannequin is missing it. Perhaps it was stolen. You know how jewelry always reflects the personality of its owner? Find them all and you'll have some idea of the identity of the woman in the black dress and the connection between her and the sad fate of your friend. The locket in this portrait-- I'm pretty sure I saw it hanging around Juliette's neck. Wait a minute. Did you say the woman in the portrait is related to the lovers' lost love? That's why Juliette's so cold to me. Hurry up and take this locket away from Juliette!
Well done! You got your medallion and I got my chance to win Juliette's affections. Hurry up. Good luck!
-
remedy of a law
Martha
Now I know why there is so much stuff in this hall. Cancelled weddings, torn up photos, cancellation notices and unwanted gifts. This is the dark curse of the city's inhabitants! Lovers' hearts are slowly breaking because an evil sorcerer has been stealing their happy moments for years. But who is this sorcerer? It's a dead end... yes, we could ask the detective, right? He's an expert at finding evidence. Let's show that man the portrait of the woman in the black dress.
Detective, this is a case involving magic and I need your help. I need your help in identifying the woman in black in this wedding photo.
-
Smell of Deception
Martha
What's wrong with my eyes? Can a shape-shifting drug turn an angel into a human? What's in this stuff smells kind of nasty. Find the shape-shifting potion.
The pill bottle is almost empty. There's a note inside. I know what you are dreaming of. Give me proof of your love, clip off your wings, and I will make you human. Signed "M." Who is this unidentified "M"? Who created this drug?
-
Angel Wings
Martha
If city hall records on angels are true, then the love story between your friend and the angel girl is a tragic love story. They will never be together. There are only strong feelings between angels and humans from different worlds. Now look in the mirror. You see the snow-white feathers of the angel's wings. I think the girl in the mirror wants us to find her angel wings. But where do we look for them?
Look. Angel wings are moving over the blank pages of the angel's record. Letters form words. There is only one way for an angel to become human. To do so, the angel must give up his immortality, clip his wings, and transform into a human being with the potion of transfiguration.
-
Who are the heavenly beings?
Martha
Fascinating story. If it's true, I'll have to look into angels more closely. But angels are not like ghosts. I've heard almost nothing about angels. We'll just have to hope that City Hall has some records on these beings of light. Look for information on angels at city hall.
You only found a few, I'm sorry to say! But that's not surprising. In the City of Shadows, angels are very few, unlike ghosts. Good. Let's see what it says...
-
love-letter
Martha
Remember the words "To my angel" engraved on the bride's wedding ring? There are so many invitations and love letters in this hall, but they are all crossed out, or they all say, "The wedding has been canceled!" or "The wedding has been canceled! I only saw one letter that said, "To my angel. It must be from Jacob to his fiancée. Find it.
Your friend writes in his letter that he has fallen in love with an angelic woman. The first time he saw her, she appeared to him while he was lighting a candle. This fairy-like person was so beautiful that Jacob could not forget her. And to his surprise, this angel came to love him too. One night, as she stretched up into the sky, a shining comet appeared. On its tail was written the word "love.
-
To My Angel
Martha
I went through Jacob and his fiancée's wedding portraits. If you look closely, you can see the wedding ring shining on her finger. I'm sure it has the bride's name engraved on it. If I find this ring, I'll know her name.
Did you find a wedding ring tied to one of the many balloons here? It would be cute if the thread wasn't black. It's like the black lines of a spell that shades your friend's love story. There are words engraved on the wedding rings. "To my angel." What does that mean? Are they just words of love? Or is there a hidden meaning?
-
Past footage
Martha
The image in the mirror has changed. What you see now is this hall and the missing portrait of Jacob's fiancée. But that part is not in this hall. If what the mirror is showing us is an image from the past, then we need to find a piece of the missing painting from the past. Find the fragment of Jacob's fiancée's portrait.
Look. The fragment fits perfectly with the missing portrait. Now that the wedding portrait has been restored, we can get a better look at Jacob's fiancée. She is truly beautiful.
-
Lovers' hearts
Martha
It is time to step into the broken wedding hall and find out what secrets are hidden behind those thick doors. Find the heart-shaped crystal. When warmed by the hands of two people in love, it should point to something very important hidden from our eyes under the circular roof of the hall.
I feel the energy of this building. It's all tied to two soon to be one people! Look, there are wedding dresses, tails, a big cake, and wedding rings! It's a sight that seems to embody the happiness of so many people! But then why is the door sealed with black ice?
-
Learn while you play
Huntress
You start training a puppy through play first. Can you find a ball for him? Something that fits snugly in your puppy's mouth, but not too big or too small.
How did you find me so quickly, I'm already on the ball in one, two, three. Maybe you were a bloodhound in your former life.
-
Name Medallion
Huntress
I want to formalize the training of my wolf cub. So I need to properly register my pet. Can you bring me a medallion with your name and registration number on it?
We're steadily getting ready to go. I hope I got the name of the medallion right. Rudolph. Isn't that a beautiful name?
-
Freed from the dragnet.
Huntress
Then I need a dragnet to walk around in. Long and strong. Don't be sarcastic. An adult werewolf would need steel cables. I want one made of leather.
Danke Schön! That's a nice dragnet. I hope it's not too expensive.
-
Contained Power
Huntress
I've decided to learn how to train pets! Oh, don't worry so much. I'm going to train a wolf cub. Not a big werewolf. Can you help me gather some of the necessary items and cast the right spells? First, I need a collar.
Perfect! It looks okay, so maybe we don't need to do the magic.
-
Charcoal Trace
Valerie
I still keep seeing the ghost of the artist. She wants her pencil back. Isabelle told me to put the pencil I found under my pillow before bed. The ghost seemed pleased. This time the ghost asked me for an Italian pencil. Please, just find it.
This pencil, so pretentiously called "Italian", is actually made of black clay or soot glued together. Last night it was wanted by a ghost of a painter. Very interesting...
-
Renaissance pencil
Isabelle
The ghost from Valerie's dream wants her pencil back? That's an interesting story. The little girl poked her nose in out of curiosity, something she shouldn't have done. He woke up the ghost of a painter. There's only one way to make a ghost like that disappear. You must return Valerie's lost pencil. Look hard. It's around here somewhere.
You found a sanguine! Not quite a pencil, but it should do. This is a reddish brown. Leonardo da Vinci used it for his sketches. Sanguine is good for realistic skin tones. It makes the painting look natural.
-
optics
Cardsharp
The last one is easy. Find the binoculars. There are only so many binoculars in town. So you should have no trouble finding them.
Nice! The binoculars have found the last scrap of the map... look! We got the whole map.
-
keyhole
Cardsharp
We all have no idea where the closed lock will be found. But I am confident that it is rusty. You have to look for it, buddy, you have to look for it!
Let's check the lock... look, look. There's a piece of paper sticking out of the keyhole! It's another scrap of the map.
-
The Elixir of Oblivion
Martha
I think I found a solution. It's called the elixir of forgetfulness. It should help Alex forget his sadness. But we don't have any cocoa powder. But you can easily find cocoa beans. I can grind it myself.
Large, fragrant cacao beans. Excellent. I'll prepare the elixir of oblivion, so come back in a couple of days.
-
That's more dependable than any weapon.
Huntress
We make our final preparations, my friends. We need a trap to capture the werewolf and retrieve Martha's pendant. Our main weapon is a tool with no magical powers. A sharp tooth of stout steel, and a good bait, will be more dependable than a gun.
That's a fine trap. Interesting that this was found at that gate. There are traces of magic. The mistress must have used it to catch a fan. We use them to catch werewolves.
-
Clever tricks
Mistress
If you can't outwit that monster, you'll never catch him. If you want to get the pendant back from the werewolf and regain Martha's power, you will need the strong poison from the aconite. You'll find it at the gates of the mansion. It's the best way to prepare for the hunt. Now get going!
Well, we're ready to hunt werewolves, aren't we? With this aconite, you can make a very dense poison. My grandmother used to put it on her arrows when she hunted werewolves.
-
Protection of Nanakamado
Inspector
When I was a kid, I went hunting in Central Europe. There is a tradition in hunting in that region. You are not allowed to take up arms until you have a Nanakamado amulet. I found a similar bracelet near the gate. It would be useful for hunting werewolves.
This is truly the "banana bracelet". I hope it will protect you from the claws of the werewolf. And that Martha's pendant will return.
-
bait for a trap
Martha
To fish a werewolf out of the fog, you should use the "wolf's cross" as bait. I used to use that talisman a lot when detecting lies and dishonesty. But I couldn't find it in my room. It must have been sent to the mansion gates when the bomb went off. Can you help me find it?
This "wolf cross" is an absolute must. It's also the best bait as an artifact to fish out werewolves. It's also a protective spell. It gives you insight and power.
-
Best Armor
Huntress
The werewolf stole the pendant that stored Martha's power. The first thing to do is to make sure you have the right gear to protect yourself. A good hunter is prepared for bad things to happen. Find the Ring of the Praying Hand and cast a protective spell for each bead on the ring!
Good, this "Ring of the Praying Hand" is made of absolutely pure silver. This alone can greatly weaken the power of an approaching werewolf.
-
prodigy
Isabelle
Did you know, Martha was allowed to enter the School of Magic without taking an exam? She brought the porcelain kittens to life. Could it be that those cats are the vessels of power? Look for those kittens at the gates of the mansion. I hope the fragile porcelain didn't crack in the explosion.
Well done. The cat statue is intact. And the magic that brings them to life has not lost its power. These kittens come to life from time to time. With this, Martha may regain her strength.
-
Witch's bracelet
Valerie
Martha's childhood friend--maybe the memory of it gave Martha power? I found a friendship bracelet in her possession. Martha called it the Witch's Rosary. She said she treasured it with all her heart. We'll look for it at the gate. Who is this Martha acquaintance of yours?
The dove is a symbol of true friendship. It's woven into Martha's witch rosary. Martha must have cared about this person.
-
Grandmother's pin
Lady
Ancestral objects are treasures for us witches. Once, Martha showed me a magic pin. She told me it had been passed down to her from her grandmother. That was a real magic tool. The mystical properties of that pin will awaken Martha's power. She will regain her power.
What a beautiful magic pin. If I didn't know it had magical value, I would ask Martha to lend it to me to hang on my spring hat.
-
Hands from the Past
Cardsharp
Where can we find the mummy's hand? I have a feeling that it is with the rest of the mummy...somewhere underground in the city.
I was going to ask how you knew this was the right hand, but at that moment I noticed it had part of a map on it.
-
Legend of the Tomb
Cardsharp
Why did the guide tell us to look for the liquor bottle in the tomb? As I later found out, Livingston had become very interested in the legend of the White Knight and wanted to find out if the objects left in the tomb were authentic, to see if they were of a magical nature. It seems that Livingston's pistol was also left there.
The pistol with David Livingston's golden monogram on the grip...definitely his. Plus, there is a piece of the map pressed into the barrel.
-
Energetic musicians
Martha
It's music that draws you in. I feel the energy. Maybe that's why Alex has been able to stay in the world of the living for so long. But where does the energy itself come from? Can you bring me a picture of Alex playing music?
You found it. Good for you. Let's put a little magic into this picture. See that translucent whitish woman behind Alex? This is his muse! That's where the magical energy of Alex's music comes from.
-
Python Whisperer
Juliette
Dear Friend, Did you know that Martha used to have conversations with her pet python? Martha's snake-shaped earring cuff had magic in it. Martha once told me a story. Martha once told me that the ouroboros helped her to discover many truths. Let's find the serpent earring cuff. You will regain Martha's power and her memory.
This "snake earring cuff" is shaped like a python biting your ear. It is as if it is whispering something to its owner. This is definitely the source of its magical power.
-
Pyramid of Spiritualists
Isabelle
Martha drew her power from her daily deeds. I mean, what items could have contained her power? Did the explosion scatter her tools and the "pyramid of energy" that she used to focus her astral energy? Let's hurry to the Mansion's Gate to find Martha's things.
I sense tremendous power coming from this "pyramid of energy." It holds a lot of astral energy. Strange that the werewolf didn't take it with him.
-
broken chain
Valerie
Look, isn't that an "open collar" at the gate? Let's get that one! I don't think this was left behind by one of the mistress's admirers. I think it's a good idea to put a leash on her, though. Oh, didn't she just stand behind me?
These "open collars" are huge. What kind of monster would be interested in something like this now? Well, a lady hunter would know right away.
-
Black stain on white shawl
Inspector
I saw a "stained shawl" at the "gates of the mansion." I was going to pick it up, but the wind blew it away. Find it. If you check the stain on the shawl, you will soon find out what kind of monster snuck into Martha's fortune-telling and left this behind.
Wonderful, you've already found a shawl with the footprints of an uninvited guest. A woman hunter would recognize the owner of these large footprints.

Proof of Silver
Detective
In an investigation, it is not only the visible evidence that is important. What the thief did not touch is also important. I saw some "silver cups" at the gate. This savage beast seems to have been dodging around like a ballerina. Look for those cups. Maybe it will tell us what kind of monster came to tell Martha's fortune?
Hmmm, one of the "silver cups" found had burnt hair on it. Take this to the lady hunter. She will know what kind of monster came to tell her fortune.

Obvious fingernail marks
Juliette
Hey dear friend, I have an idea about Martha's torn dress. I thought it had been ripped off in the explosion. But maybe it was the work of a monster that got into the house during the divination. Let's look for claw marks. If there are any, the lady hunter will be able to identify the creature in no time.
The claw marks left on this cushioned chair are definitely those of a large and powerful monster! I'm scared. What if this beast is still here, hiding in the fog?

knife that won't cut
Huntress
I think I know what it is that interfered with Martha's divination. But it's still too early to conclude. I saw a knife in the ground at the gate. Let's find it. If we can find it, we can figure out what the monster was that came during the divination.
See. This knife is a technique used in very old magic. This monster changes its appearance by doing somersaults on a knife stuck in the ground.
-
Trinity Amulet
Juliette
There was one more amulet in that fortune telling. It is an amulet of the trinity of goddesses, Trinity, called "the phase of the moon. It is symbolized by the image of three women: a girl, a mother, and an old woman. A young girl, a mother, and an old woman. Look for the Moon Phase Amulet. It will help Martha remember what happened during the reading.
This "moon phase amulet" will definitely bring back Martha's memory. Martha always lined up the phases of the moon when she did her readings. She did that again today.
-
Offering to the Goddess
Juliette
I almost forgot. Before we started the reading, Martha told me that if I made an offering to the moon goddess, she might be able to tell me more about my future. If I made an offering to the moon goddess, she might be able to tell me more about my future. I made some crystals as an offering to the goddess. I need to find a container with a statue of the god that contains the offerings to the moon.
Offerings to the moon were ceremonially made in a container with this image of the god. People believed that this would protect them from the evil gods of the night. I hope the moon will bring back the memory of Martha.

Ifa's Prophecy
Isabelle
Martha did this divination for Julie, but I know the process here. The Witch's Rope Ladder is placed on a beautifully carved tray called the Ifa Tray. With it, you can read the future accurately. Let's find that one. It will help Martha remember the divination session.
You found it! This tray is very old. Martha brought it back from New Orleans. Do you know how many futures it has divined?
-
entangled fortune-telling
Juliette
Before the session began, Martha asked me to turn in my personal belongings. She said it would point me to the things in my future that I cared about most. I pulled out my ring. Martha braided it into a "witch's rope ladder. It's a rope decorated with feathers and beads. Look for it.
Yes, this is the "Witch's Rope Ladder" that Martha made for divination. She said she could read my destiny from the shape this rope makes.
-
Calming Smell
Juliette
When I walked into the room I could smell the strong lavender scent. Martha had a large "lavender heart shape" on the table. She told me that the scent of lavender was opening the celestial astral ground in my heart to show me the future. When the explosion occurred, I saw the Lavender Heart Shape being flown to the Gates of the Mansion. Please look for it.
Thank you. Here's the "lavender heart shape" from Martha's ritual. This scent is so calming...
-
Smoke purification
Conductor
The smell of wormwood is choking me, can't you smell it? Martha said you use wormwood to dispel magic. The mistress must not have liked it. Why don't we find a bunch of Wormwood and get rid of it? Maybe that will clear the fog.
I can breathe easier now! I wouldn't be too happy if my neighbor was smoking wormwood in his front yard. I don't need any magic from this stuff. But the fog won't go away.
-
Cursed bottle
Isabelle
Martha used magic to keep away the mistress's admirers who interfered with her work. Perhaps the mistress didn't like that. What kind of magic did the mistress use against Martha to make the fog appear? Have you seen a vial with a pentagram in it at the gate? Look for it.
Oh! Just as I thought. This is the Witch's Vial! It repels the magic cast on its maker. But it's not enough to create a mist. Something's missing.
-
counter-magic
Isabelle
I sense a magical item with traces of Martha's energy at the "mansion gates." Maybe Martha was trying to dispel the mistress's magic. We should look for anti-magic. If we find it, we will know what happened at the mansion's gates.
This egg is a powerful anti-magic. Look, there's a needle inside. The mistress must have been furious when she found this anti-magic item that Martha had created.
-
magic apple
Valerie
The air at the Gates of the Mansion is full of the magic of love. Even I can tell. I heard that poor Juan used to knock on Martha's door. He used to ask her to cast a spell on the mistress. Of course, Martha turned them all down. Maybe that's what happened? I saw the magic apple. Find that one.
I know about this apple. This victim will not be able to forget the person he enchanted until the apple juice runs out. Look, there's the mistress's name. So, what the hell happened at the gate?
-
Proof of gift
Detective
Buddy, apparently this mysterious typhoon has blown everything around the "mansion gates". Let's look for clues in the gifts left by the mistress's admirers. Perhaps one of them might have weakened Martha's powers? Have you seen anything strange? I'm thinking something like "eternal flowers" trapped in ice.
I've got a note left by a fan of the unfortunate mistress, man. "This flower is eternal, like my love. Martha used to complain that the mistress's admirers got in the way of her doing her magic.

To the Path of Evil
Cardsharp
The young Giovanni Di Fiori lost his self-control after the death of his father. This old card cheat understands all too well! There is a sweet charm in a life that is falling away. Perhaps this Di Fiori story is what is depicted in the "Italian Style Patio" painting? Is there anything that shows his bad behavior, e.g., dice?
The horns on these dice are worn out. Young Di Fiori seems to have played with these dice a lot! But this doesn't seem to be the most important subject on the canvas either. So what happened next?
-
Dance of Death
Adeline Svensson
The fact that Di Fiori's father had the plague makes it likely that the story ended in tragedy. Perhaps the artist was trying to depict a painful childhood experience? Let's look into the fate of the architect. If he died, his tableau sculpture would have been in di Fiori's house. Is there anything like it here?
It's a shame they found the Memento Mori sculpture. It's Latin for "Remember Death." Di Fiori's father died of the plague.
-
Mystery Diseases
Martha
Could the story of Di Fiori's childhood reveal the conception of that painting and remove its soul? I can feel the astral of the celestials moving...Giovanni's father was sick. If you have the medicine, you will know about that disease. Find me the pot of medicine, Albarello. Then you can tell us what happened to Fiori's father.
The potion in the albarello is made of herbs and alchemical powders, isn't it? The contents and the inscription on the jar suggest that Di Fiori's father had the plague. It was widespread in Venice at that time.

The First Step to Becoming a Master Craftsman
Isabelle
Is it true that Giovanni's father tried to teach him architecture? After all, Giovanni became famous as a painter, not an architect. He was not an architect. If I had the tools he used as a boy, I would be able to clarify this. Look for something like the "architect's surveying instruments" on the patio. It's one of the basic tools!
This surveying instrument, a theodolite, is a device used to measure angles. Here are some notes from my childhood! The Di Fiori boy was given building equipment instead of toys. His father used to take his son to work, until he became ill.
-
Aristocrats in the employ of
Adeline Svensson
Giovanni painted his own story. Not directly, but there are clues that will help us retell di Fiori's tale. We have to stop the power of the masterpiece and rescue the detective from the painting. His father served the aristocracy. This has to be the key to the story! Search the patio for any emblems of nobility...for example, a plate.
It's a plate with a family crest. It's made of Murano glass. It belonged to Duke Visconti, who was famous for his palaces! So old Fiori was the Duke's architect.
-
Inner Light
Cardsharp
Di Fiori must not have thought of having a detective in that masterpiece. You need to remove the detective from the picture! No, I mean, we're going to "help" him. We need to find Van Eyck's priceless varnish on the patio. He was a real genius! Giovanni must have found out about van Eyck's talent. Giovanni would have studied Van Eyck's talent in order to control his own.
I say this as a connoisseur of masterpieces. This varnish is a true Van Eyck. His paintings seem to glow from within. It's as if it's the real thing! Perhaps his talent was manipulated by the same thing as Fiori?
-
optical illusion
Mistress
This fool Di Fiori, or whatever he is, knew he had a talent for turning pictures into reality and tried to use it without checking it carefully. As a result, the detective was sucked into this fool's work. A very useful man! An artist's talent is manipulated by the desire to influence the mind! If you don't believe me, look for a skylight on the patio. They are optical illusions personified.
A collector who was one of my admirers once told me. He said that when artists use "skylights," the domed windows on buildings, they become obsessed with perspective and illusion. Everyone starts "creating a new reality. Just like the painter!
-
Small articles related to alcoholic beverages
Cardsharp
Knowing how much the guides love little things related to liquor, I asked them if they knew anything about the Livingston liquor bottles. He told me to check the knight's grave. As soon as you find the bottle, I'll tell you what else I know.
Did you find the liquor bottle? See, the lid is rusty. Let's hope something hasn't gotten in there and ruined the edge of the map.
-
God of Mercy
Bao
Martha must meditate more and grow a tea toy if she intends to overcome the trials from the spirits. Find a statue of the compassionate Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. Pouring tea on it will protect you from unfortunate events.
The statue of the benevolent Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara must be handled with great care! Then you should pour a generous amount of tea on it. Then the heat of the tea will make the surface smoother and smoother.
-
light and shadow
Adeline Svensson
Great artists have one talent in common. The magic of creating something new. Not real magic like di Fiori's, though. If he was looking for the source of his talent in the works of artists, he couldn't have forgotten the "Caravaggio's projector! Look for that projection device on the patio!
The Italian genius Caravaggio used the shading technique, also known as "light and shadow," in his paintings. He wanted to express that "things look different in different lights. He wanted to influence reality!
-
Corruption and emptiness
Alex
What Giovanni was looking for was a source of talent for other artists. So he wanted to know how to suppress his own talent. I don't know anything about art. I don't know about art, but I have seen a music album with a still life of a skeleton, "Vanitas of Emptiness and Death". Many artists prefer the dark and depressing! Why don't we find a painting with skeletons on it?
What a wonderful still life of a skeleton! Di Fiori was researching artists who depicted the inevitability of death. Everything eventually returns to nothing! Artists fear death and want to leave a living testimony of their lives.
-
Perfect shape
Isabelle
Can you imagine Giovanni di Fiori's masterpiece sucking people in? To save the detective, we have to keep investigating di Fiori and find out what the quintessence of an artist looks like. He had a drawing of a seashell next to his journal...the golden ratio! It's a snail, look for the nautilus on the patio!
This cup is decorated with nautilus shells! The golden mean makes perfect shapes. I read somewhere that da Vinci used the golden ratio in his paintings. I wonder if the danger of an artist's talent is the mind's quest for perfection?
-
Dolphins are popular
Detective
I agree with my colleague, Agent Dipp. DiFiore had something in mind when he erased the items. Food and water for survival, and a means of defense...why did the artist ruin this masterpiece? For example, why did he turn off the water spout in the shape of a dolphin? Find it on the patio.
It's just a water spout in the shape of a dolphin. What's wrong with having this in a seaside town? Everyone loves dolphins! But Di Fiori made it disappear. Why?
-
Caravaggio's Legacy
Adeline Svensson
I'm glad you found this unique patio sketch by Di Fiori! Now you can collect the missing items. Then you can understand why Giovanni ruined his masterpiece. Did you see the "basket of fruits" in the painting? There isn't. But it is in this sketch. Find it, please.
Those fruits in the basket are fabulous! Did you know that it was the Italian, Caravaggio, who first painted a still life of the fruit? I wonder why Di Fiori tried to erase this from his painting.
-
Of all the weapons
Huntress
Giovanni wrote that you should not complete the painting. You said that by erasing some items from the canvas, "it will be okay for a while." What kind of threat could this painting pose? Perhaps there was a dangerous object depicted, such as a weapon? The sketch just shows a cannon. Find it on the patio!
Old cannons are time-consuming weapons, though they do have their advantages. They used to line the beaches with them. To fight pirates. But there's nothing amazing about this thing.
-
source of life
Inspector
Giovanni di Fiori got scared while he was finishing the painting and deleted some items from the picture. There must be some explanation...I see a fountain with a lion on it in Adeline's sketch. The masterpiece doesn't have that. Can you help me find this fountain on the patio?
The fountain is an important part of any Italian town. On a hot summer day, this one is literally the lifeblood of the city. In the painting it seems to be painted gray.
-
Small Nature Island
Adeline Svensson
The important thing is to restore the painting. Otherwise, we will never know what frightened Di Fiori and why he ruined the painting. Using the sketches I brought, we can find items from this patio that were erased from the painting. For example, in this sketch there's a tree planted in a flowerpot. But it's not on that canvas. Can you help me find that tree on the patio?
Nice fruit trees planted. Very Mediterranean! Why did Giovanni leave such a simple object out of his painting? Look, where this used to be, it's now a stain on the canvas!
-
Ancestral Traditions
Mei
If you want to receive power from the tea toys, you must follow the Chinese traditions regarding tea to the letter. Bring a small statue of a monk to Martha. It will give you a taste of the spiritual world that my ancestors experienced.
The statues of small monks are very fragile. It should be transported with care! It is said that the owner of this tea toy will be able to pursue perfection without compromise.
-
biased interview
Mayor
I don't think Giovanni di Fiori was frightened because he was talking to a priest about the salvation of his soul. Nor do I think it was because a neighbor like Mrs. Peregrino complained. He was threatened with his life and feared that the painting would be taken. If I were you, I would look for something more truly threatening.
Isn't that a "heretic's fork" torture device, disgusting shape. This thing is horrible! The maestro Giovanni di Fiori was in serious trouble!
