unlucky bird
Isabelle
Julie's dancing lacks grace. Where can she go to get smooth, graceful turns? Help Julie perform Odetta from Swan Lake. With the light feathers of a beautiful white winged bird, she must be able to convey her emotions correctly! Find the swan feathers. Hurry up, please.
Julie told me that these feathers used to adorn the heads of the ballerinas at the Mariinsky Theatre. She said it was the best production of Swan Lake ever performed and she was the one who played Odetta in it. I hope Julie is right!
-
Christmas nuts
Martha
In the City of Shadows, there are a lot of objects that have an aura about them, about past events and their former owners. Since we cannot call our best dancers from the past, why don't we look for their famous possessions instead? The spark of their talent remains in those items. That will help Julie do her perfect dance. The Nutcracker is one of the most famous ballets of all time. Could you help me find the items from this piece?
This toy looks just like Krakatuk, the magic nut from Hoffman's fairy tale about the Nutcracker. What a sad fate. A beautiful prince turned into a child's toy!
-
Greek Artistry
Cardsharp
My friends, every last piece of jewelry will bring you one step closer to protecting Juliette from being held captive by a ghost. The mistress of the mansion once boasted that she had acquired a belt that once belonged to the famous American dancer, Isabella Danis. Let's find that jewel, shall we?
I can only envy the jewelry collection of the mistress! Isabella Danis got her inspiration from ancient Greek dances. Her belt is in the style of the ancient Greeks. Bravo, my friend. Now you have everything you need!
-
swan neck
Martha
I think this collection lacks grace. We need a beautiful necklace. I saw one at the mansion. It's a velvet choker with diamonds. It belongs to Milena Kushaminskaya, and it will give Juliette her natural suppleness. Find it.
It is said that the diamond in this necklace was given to Milena by the future Emperor of Austria. He couldn't resist the grace of a natural ballerina!
-
Passion for the Latin Region
Martha
I'm looking for a famous dancer's jewel for Juliette. The next gem I need belongs to Angelica, an incomparable flamenco dancer. Her large earrings still have a bit of Latin American passion in them. Find the golden hoop earrings in the mansion.
Yes, these are Angelica's earrings! She was called the "Queen of Flamenco". And the Brazilian dancer was honored to have her dance named after her!
-
Step lightly
Martha
That's Serena Bombardo. Like a fragile butterfly, she beat an incurable disease. With the help of art. Her brooch must still be in the mansion. Can you help me find it? The brooch will give Juliette her fortitude!
This butterfly brooch is amazing. Did you know that Selena, who was supposed to die of tuberculosis, lived to be 80 years old and became the most famous actress of all time? Talent is nothing without a strong will!
-
Spanish Elegance
Cardsharp
I guess the magic of the ghost of the dancer keeps Juliette dancing the waltz. I'll have to look for some jewels made by some of the best artists in history. You're lucky the mistress of the mansion collects famous jewels. She wouldn't have missed the emerald moon of that passionate Spaniard, Amelia Diane. Can you help me find it?
You've found a beautiful gem in Amelia Diane! When she was young, she charmed the Great King with her dancing. After her wedding, Amelia was presented with a pile of jewels, but the emerald moon was her favorite. In fact, it originally belonged to the Great King's elephant!
-
The Heart of Easter
Detective
The delicious smell of spring is inspiring, but don't let up just yet. First, let's look around and find what the nature spirits call "the heart of Easter. There is no time to have fun. Once Easter comes, the lady will be sent back to the human world, never to return! Let's take a decisive step forward and save them both, shall we?
So the spirits have set aside a vacant lot for the traditional spring picnic. Aw, it's a real Easter bunny! Chocolate eggs must be hidden in the hare, too. How romantic! Here's the lady and the gatekeeper proving their love to the natural spirits.
-
Looking for benefits
Juliette
You mentioned in your message that the souls need to go to the "tea house" for us to benefit. But there is no one waiting for us at this old torii gate. Surely we should be brave enough to enter this heavenly place. Why don't we look for what boon we can find among the cherry blossoms in full bloom? You go in first, dear friend.
This place is heaven. There's a kettle on the furnace. It smells like herbs. The wind chimes hanging outside are swaying in the wind, making a cool sound. In the garden, cranes are strolling gracefully.
-
Whom the Bell Tolls for
Valerie
Look! There's a strange whirlwind going on behind the big gate of the Witch's Dwelling Place. I don't know where that whirlwind came from. This gate is covered with some kind of thick plant vines. I have to get inside quickly. We need to cut these overgrown vines. Do you have a knife or scissors?
Wow! What an amazing temple. Martha's ancestors must have kept this hidden from the city all these years. The four witch elephants are standing facing the bell in the center of the "Witches' Dwelling Place. This sound...it's giving me goosebumps. Why did this bell start ringing?
-
The Beauty of Nature
Detective
Buddy, I'm one step closer to having the right attire to set Julie free. Nothing a real lady deserves more than a few well-chosen flowers. You'll find it!
You have done it again! This bouquet is nothing short of stunning. It's like it was made for Juliette! I hope the damn ghost is pleased!
-
Light step
Huntress
Hey you, I heard something unfortunate happened to Juliette. I don't know much about balls, but I do know one thing. Without good shoes, you can't dance or hunt. You have to search through the mansion to find shoes for dancing. I bet Julie will flap her wings like a bird during the waltz!
These shoes are perfect! With this comfy shape and soft soles, Julie can dance all night and her foot muscles won't get tired. Only a silly princess in a fairy tale would come to a ball in glass shoes!
-
Touching Passion
Martha
What now? What part of your attire should be considered in order to wow the ghosts? A lady may bare her shoulders and show her collar while dancing. But wearing gloves is not just a matter of etiquette. There is a deeper meaning. Please look for opera gloves at the mansion, and hurry up!
Well done! Not everyone who wants to dance with a lady, deserves to touch her fingers. Of course, not everyone is worthy to kiss her hand!
-
Sacrifice of Beauty
Valerie
You know what part of the dancer's body needs to be perfect? The waist, of course! They must be corseted with a very thin silk bodice woven from a whale's whiskers. There should be such a thing somewhere in the mansion!
Amazing! What a beautiful bodice! These little diamonds and pearls and silk flowers! ...it's exactly what I had in mind. Everyone's eyes are glued to Julie!
-
Walking on Clouds
Valerie
The perfect attire for the belle of the ball doesn't start with a corset and shoes. The train of the dress is what matters! You feel so noble when you walk with the long train of a dress that doesn't weigh you down. It's like walking on clouds. Will you come and find me?
What a lovely train! What a wonderful feel, the softness of this thin cotton muslin.
-
Frozen Joy
Detective
Can you feel the enchanting ball back in the world? The dead silence of the ballroom is gone! You can hear the tapping of heels and the rustling of dresses on the floor. Is this someone... dancing? Let's go inside the enchanted ballroom and see what's going on.
Do you see it? The soundless ballroom is dead silent. There are lifeless dolls dressed for the ball. There's someone there, it's Juliette, isn't it? She's alone in the moonlight, dancing to music that only she can hear! Julie! ...No...she can't seem to see me...she's looking past me! I touched her hand and now it's slipping away as we dance! What the hell is going on?
-
Beyond the Line
Detective
We're at the entrance to the old mansion. Juliette is already inside. I'm bubbling like it's my first time on the job! Just the thought of Julie in another man's arms... I have to know the truth, even if it means a bitter end!
Look at this magnificent ballroom. The guests of the magic ball are standing in a row, frozen in place forever. This sight always makes me sad, man. Why would Juliette have a secret meeting in this disgusting place? But where did she go? I have a bad feeling about this, buddy...
-
liar's sleeve
Inspector
What a scam by Master F! Not fair. During the game I saw him fix his sleeve once. It was an almost imperceptible movement, though. I thought maybe I was mistaken and he was hiding a card in his sleeve.
I'm surprised you found it! With the card in hand, we can confirm that Master F was cheating. But it shows how lucky the card cheaters are that Master F, with all his Fantastic Four talents, still had to cheat!
-
eyes of a liar
Cardsharp
Everyone is working so hard to help me. I'll remember this until the day I die! I know a few card tricks, so I'm in... for example, Master F. used to refill his pipe with tobacco several times during the shuffle. He had a mirrored tobacco container! Let's find out.
Oh! It's so polished, isn't it? I used this instead of a mirror. The crook was checking my cards in the mirror.
-
Bullshit Card
Adeline Svensson
Based on your research, I could write a book, not just an article! Imagine. Master F. has been cheating card cheaters in the game! Let's find evidence of his lies. Book cards. With these cards, you can change the name and color by simply turning the "page".
I interviewed a famous gambler and I asked him about book cards... he was terribly critical of the use of these things.
-
Bullshit Shuffle
Alex
Even the mafia doesn't cheat when it comes to gambling. Otherwise, fortune would be forever away from you. But Master F. doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. Don't worry. We'll definitely catch him! He must have had a pair of playing cards with the wrong cards in them. Can you help me find them?
Excellent! Scammers use this a lot. They use it to put the removed card back together with the fake card. With this kind of evidence, they can take Master F to court!
-
A pair of liar's cards
Detective
No one thinks Master F won an honest game. Card cheaters are the best winners in town. And Martha senses the deception. But if this is true, then Master F's victory is null and void! We must gather evidence that Master F. committed fraud. Then the card cheater's fortune would return. Was Master F using marked cards?
That's it! A real card with a real mark on it. Looks like an example of card fraud. When I was just a cop, these cards hurt me a lot.
-
Calculation of probability
Adeline Svensson
This investigation is taking an unexpected turn! The winner of the tournament bet on odd items that for some reason Master F needed. What was so special about these items? Let's find out quickly! Let's look for the abacus that left the hands of the fourth winner.
Only the abacus can calculate probabilities. I once wrote an article about this, but it was a very boring topic. Look. There is a piece of paper attached to the back of the abacus!
-
read someone's thoughts
Huntress
Master F really needed what the winners bet. Let's find the impenetrable masks that the third member of the Fantastic Four bet on.
During a match, my fencing teacher wears a similar mask. So I can read my opponent's intentions just by looking in his eyes. I wonder if the winners of the tournament learned those things?
-
Perfect Memory
Valerie
I bet the winners bet on something magical. Let's find out quickly what Master F got! I was checking the list and found that the second winner bet on "The Art of Memory." I've heard this name before. Could you help me find it?
The art of memory is a system that works on the human imagination. It trains our memory to remember information better. It's served me well... and I remember that well!
-
dexterous feat
Martha
Detectives are staring at the Fantastic Four's disappearance as having something to do with a bet on the tournament final. What did they bet on? The original winners bet on the Dodger's glove, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a regular glove. Find the glove. Then we can see if my guess is correct.
These gloves are no ordinary gloves. I see signs of powerful magic. We're not wrong. Let's look for other things that members of the Fantastic Four have bet on.
-
Most important
Alex
We need to find out what Master F got from the Fantastic Four while the card cheaters were gambling. At my dad's casino, all the important bets on the final were written down on a special list for the record. I wonder if they do the same thing for the Mystic Tournament? If we can find the list, we can find out what the Fantastic Four members were betting on.
That's great. I got the list! It helps that I've been to the casino... but I just don't want to set foot in a place like this again. The betting is weird!
-
New organizers
Detective
Our goal is to build the dice of death. To do that, we need something in Master F's possession. He is, after all, the tournament organizer! What we need is this. A symbol of his authority here!
This original stick belongs to Master F. It's the same as the entire Mystic Tournament. You'll have to behave carefully when you get to the finals.
-
consecutive victories
Inspector
While searching for items to make death dice, I found out that Master F. has only recently started winning. But given that he was able to become the administrator of the Mystic Tournament, he must have won many times before. Let's see if we can find the winning cup among Master F's trophies.
This championship cup belongs to Master F. Just as I thought. He started winning consecutively at some point. These winning cups were carefully stored. It is obvious that they are valuable to him.
-
First Victory
Valerie
I'll help Martha find Master F's possessions while she prepares for the ritual of making the dice of death. He's a gambler. He must have some memento of his first win. Look, there's a key chain with a card chip on it! Let's take a look. Do you think this belongs to Master F, too?
This keychain is obviously Master F's. The letter "F" is engraved here. The chip is new. Looks like a recent acquisition.
-
fatal accident
Martha
I need more of Master F's stuff to make the dice of death. I could read his aura. Looks like the broken gemstone played an important role in his life. Can you find them at the Red Rose Cafe?
I can see the past of this gem. This ring was broken when Master F proposed to a woman and she turned him down.
-
Beginning of the Journey
Martha
In order to get the tournament security to let me into the finals room, I have to show them the dice of death. This item can be made, but it requires a personal possession containing Master F's energy. Many players have amulets. Find Master F's amulet.
The coral horn amulet brings good luck in the game, but this amulet has run out of power. Master F was not a very lucky player.
-
Shadow of a resting player
Detective
Thanks to some witty citizens, we've got nothing left for us to do. Everyone will be doing their own investigations! I don't care. We'll just focus on rescuing the card cheaters. Looks like there are ghost prints on the dishes. Let's take a closer look.
Ah! These prints must belong to a participant in the Mystic Tournament. Let's give them to Martha and have her find the entrance to the tournament.
-
Shadow of a thrown dice
Adeline Svensson
So the search for card cheaters has reached a new level. Those in charge need items that have passed through the real world to get to the Tournament of Mystery. That's truly sensational. Shall we look for items that have obviously passed through the reality interface? I see the dice are covered in blue flames!
These dice really crossed the barrier between the interfaces of reality! I can touch the flame and it's not hot. It's like it doesn't belong in our world. I'll hurry up and give these dice to Martha.
-
Tournament Visitor Shadows
Valerie
I'm worried about the card cheaters. I need to find the entrance to the Mystic Tournament as soon as possible. If you need another item from the real world, I can help! I saw a hat floating around here with a blue glow. I wonder if it belongs to one of the players. Can you help?
I told you. Invisible man hat! This is going to make me a detective's assistant one of these days. But first, let's take this to Martha. We need her to read the hat's aura and find the entrance to the tournament.
-
Shadow of the Gambling Room
Inspector
As a detective I am challenged by this town. This is an investigation that affects the interface between two realities! But I will succeed and find the entrance to the Tournament of Mystery. Though invisible to the eye, the reflection is real. Something must be reflected in Miller's lampshade. Can you help me?
I knew it! The entire gambling room is reflected here. The Tournament of Mystery is now in full swing. I'll show this lampshade to Martha right away.
-
Shadow of the Card Game
Martha
The entrance to the Mystic Tournament has to be somewhere close... see that blue shadow? This can only happen when the interface of two realities touch. I'll find the entrance to the Tournament with an item across this boundary. Find something in the Red Rose Cafe that is glowing blue.
The ghost card, exactly what we need. This card is at the intersection of two reality interfaces, but there is only one visible between us.
-
Tournament Announcement
Inspector
The detective showed me all the old case files that Red Rose and the missing person were involved in. The mysterious tournaments were held in secret, but the gamblers must have had access to them somehow. In other words, the tournament must have been announced somewhere. Can you find something like that for me?
Just as I thought. The inscription "Tournament" only appears when the card depicting the Rose is pressed. The date of the event coincides with the date of the disappearance of the four men.
-
Tournament Location
Alex
I was intrigued by the fact that the police had tracked down a missing person and found nothing at the Red Rose. After all, the Tournament of Mystery was being held here. You saw it on the invitation. There's a roulette table over there. Let's take a closer look.
Just as I thought. The roulette table is a portable rug. I've seen these things before. Which means the mystery tournaments were held in secret. That's why the police could get so little information.
-
Tournament Wagering
Adeline Svensson
I see the detective and his partner have started working on a new case. I don't want to miss it! You're looking into the disappearance of a card shuffler and a mystery tournament? Then you should definitely be looking for a card shuffler. It's a tool used by professional card shufflers. It was probably used in the tournament.
I did a lot of research and this Schaffler was also mentioned in the disappearance. Look at the note from the original owner that was hidden in the foundation. There was a lot of money at stake in the mystery tournaments.
-
Tournament Winner
Valerie
To find the card cheaters, I need to find out everything I can about this mysterious tournament! I looked through the detective's case files and it seems that one of the missing persons had a special dice shaker. The owner has disappeared and the shaker has never been found. Let's find it!
This shaker is so small! Look, it has initials engraved on it. From this I can guess that someone won this shaker in the first tournament and from then on it was considered a lucky charm.
-
Tournament emblems
Detective
The disappearance of the card fraudster is not the first case the Tournament of Mystery has been associated with. According to old files, four more people have disappeared. The police tracked them down to the Red Rose. Let's look around and find out more about the Mystic Tournament. Find anything that has to do with this event. For example, a gaming chip holder.
Look, the holder has the Red Rose crest on it. There's something written underneath it. "Assets of the Tournament of Mystery." This holder is old. The tournament must have been held a long time ago.
-
Favorite Place
Cardsharp
Hurry up. Don't linger at the entrance. The card cheaters are here to win! No, wait. This is a good chance to remember the old days... take me with you as I close my eyes. I want to stand in the middle of the event. Be careful. Don't let the noise fool you. We're lucky to have you.
Everything is just as I remembered it. The smell of perfume, the floorboards creaking underfoot... I'm going to open my eyes! Oh, where is everybody? What happened to the Tournament of Mystery? Did someone hook me up? But I can hear voices. It's a muffled sound, though, like through water. Someone touched me! What the hell...
-
The Power of Music
Martha
I've looked up a lot of books and for the life of me I can't figure out why Alex hasn't turned back into a ghost yet. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to stay alive. Where is Alex getting his supply from? I think it's the music that keeps Alex going. He needs to hear the music he composed and played. Can you bring me a recording of it?
Is it an analog record? How do I listen to it?
-
unforeseen development
Cardsharp
Gentleman there! I'm sorry to interrupt your busy schedule, but I need a little help. This morning, I was walking along the banks of an underground river, and a magnificent crown came pouring out of the dungeon. Just as I was rejoicing over this good fortune, a nasty gargoyle appeared and took the crown away. It was mine to pick up, and you will help me get it back, won't you?
It really is a beautiful thing. When it comes to this jewelry and superb craftsmanship! What? You said this belonged to the mayor's niece? You're lying! You're trying to trick me! Thief!
-
Sukhavati (Amitabha's Pure Land)
Monk
Decorating the pathways with a roof of lanterns would surely be more useful than a roof of tiles. But most important of all, pray sincerely for heaven's blessings... If you have time, please help me add lanterns to the Palace of Paradise.
Have you found the palace of paradise? Go ahead, take it; the three-tiered roof symbolizes man, the sky, and all that is sacred in the heavens.
-
Safe Place
Mei
Decorating the path with lanterns that resemble the roofs of Chinese temples is a very unusual idea. Let us hope that the heavens will grant your wish and protect the town from possible natural disasters! Next you must find the pagoda of the Three Kingdoms made of paper.
Let us hope that this paper pagoda of the Three Kingdoms will protect the city from disasters...there is a reason why the corners of the roof of this three-tiered building are raised...it is meant to reach the heavens!
-
A grand celebration
Valerie
I was just thinking ...... you can find traces of that poor girl. Remember what was written about the masquerade ball? If it was such a rare feast, there must be a commemorative painting of it in the mansion. And if she is rich, she must be in one of the paintings. We just have to find out which painting it is!
You just amaze me. Look, there she is. The one in the back with the pretty dress and the crazy expensive looking crown. Next to her is a mysterious figure wearing a mask from a box. And the other one next to her, I can't believe my eyes! This is the mayor!
-
Symbols of Sacred Places
Yui
I'm sure the heavens would be pleased if we decorated the path with lanterns in the shape of temple roofs. In China, they erect a tile tower at the entrance to a sacred place. Why don't you try to find one made of paper?
That miniature tile boy you found for me would be perfect to mark the entrance to the sacred place. You should display them at the entrance to the pathway near the emperor's palace!
-
Fencing Techniques
Huntress
The pinnacle of the art of fencing is epee. Find the epee for this student. While you're waiting, I'll show you the proper stance. This is harder than it seems. If the card cheater doesn't whine within 10 minutes of practicing a simple move while maintaining his stance, I'll review him.
Unbelievable! Mr. Card Cheater hit the leather target on his first shot! Sounds like you definitely have the talent and the will to do it.
-
javelin (throw)
Huntress
Stop obsessing over details, complaining and whining. There's no time for that in a real fight. I'm going to practice my preemptive strike. If you attack the enemy from a distance, the fight will be much more advantageous. Give the spear to the card cheater. I'll put down the target. Let's see if you can throw the spear as accurately as you roll the dice.
I can't believe it! I can't believe that the spear doesn't even reach the target! That's the distance the ancient Greek children used to practice. It was part of their required training. You card cheaters better concentrate on this practice. Shall we postpone the next lesson for a few days? To have them practice this.
-
place to hide something
Huntress
Alicia's wedding dress must have been hidden by the collector. The werewolf must have a stash somewhere around here. But it won't be easy to find.
This is definitely a really beautiful wedding dress. I've always dreamed of having a dress like this. Let's go back to the surface and deliver it to Martha.
-
Winged Death
Huntress
Let's split up. I'll go to the city dungeon and look for the werewolf trail. You go find the oxygen masks. It should be at the plane crash site. But watch out if you hear wings flapping! There are bats flying around the wreckage. They're poisonous. They will kill you in minutes.
Beginner's luck, that's what I call it... anyway, I found the werewolf tracks. They lead to the sewers. But more interesting, while following his trail, I found an old newspaper clipping. I guess the werewolf must have dropped it when he was going through that narrow tunnel. According to the clipping, Baron von Herz had learned that his fiancée, Alicia, was planning to elope with Robb the woodcutter. He was going to order Robb's murder and force Alicia to marry him.
-
Family spirit corridor
Detective
I found the Cruz family mausoleum where Alicia is buried. It's exactly where Martha said it would be... I tried ripping out some of the paving stones, but the pickaxe stopped working as if I'd hit an invisible wall... I need a heavy-duty hammer to break it down. Can you help me?
Let's go down to the mausoleum. See, there is a wedding dress placed in the tomb.
-
Practice axe
Huntress
Next to practicing my battle hammer, I'd love to practice my axe. That would be the first step in teaching fencing to card cheaters. Find an axe to train with.
Sounds like the card cheaters are bored with their axe practice. Maybe I should speed things up? Or maybe have him play against a moving target? Maybe that would motivate him more.... I don't think he likes being hit back. Even with the side of the blade...
-
heavy weapons
Huntress
The card cheater thinks he's a real warrior. Now he wants to learn how to use a hammer. Can you find me the right hammer?
That's a pretty big hammer. I wonder if a card cheater can even lift it. Maybe use it for weights to build up your strength first.
-
Knife Skills
Huntress
I can't believe it! Have you thought this through? He's a credit card scammer! I don't know what the hell he's up to. Weaponry in hand-to-hand combat is an art! Where would you like me to start... with a combat knife? Find me a knife and we can start practicing.
It's surprising that a credit card scammer is so good with a knife. He can do pretty much anything.
-
performing an ambush
Detective
Are you okay? It's funny that the werewolf didn't even look at us. He grabbed the invitation and ran away. It's like he was waiting in ambush, waiting for us to find the invitation. But I don't understand why they would need an invitation to Alicia's wedding. Let's go find out! I want to get the whole story as soon as possible!
The invitations are back. Let's talk to Martha. And you should also tell her about that big, strange werewolf. Did you notice how he just stood there in the distance while we fought? And that look in his eyes. Almost human. When we got the invitation, the werewolf howled and ran away. But we could barely see the locket pendant around his neck. That should help me recognize him the next time I see him. My hunch is that we will meet again soon.
-
Mystery Person
Valerie
That's romantic! I have to find a mask for the masquerade ball. Then we'll know who he is!
I'm kind of disappointed. I found the mask, but no clue at all as to who it belongs to. I'll just have to read the rest of the article!
-
inattention
Valerie
I wonder... if they lived a long and happy life together, why is her ring in a box in the mistress's room? Oh, I forgot! The ring had disappeared. Please go get it back.
A beautiful ring! Not a bad deal if someone is willing to give you a ring like this. But alas, it must be returned to its rightful owner. Shall we continue? Don't look at me so reproachfully!
-
Letter of a stranger
Valerie
Among the items missing from the box was an old envelope sealed with a large wax seal. It had already been opened, though. I remember it clearly. Find it.
This is interesting! It's not just one letter in the envelope. It contains all of their correspondence! They say nothing bad will happen if you read them, right? This is like a love letter! Something about a girl writing like this...
-
A Few Drops of Immortality
Cardsharp
Dear friend, if you continue to search for evidence that the Master travelled to the past, may I be so bold as to give you one piece of advice. Isabelle rightly noted that the Master's speeches are delivered with some delusion of grandeur. I believe taht such a person would have tried to find the famous Philosopher's Stone in the past. Will you try to find the stone in the laboratory?
Excellent, my friend! You found the famous Philosopher's Stone. It bestowns immortality and turns any metal into gold. Even I would learn to travel to the past just to visit the alchemists of ancient times for such a thing!
-
Eureka!
Isabelle
The ankh we found suggests that the Master learned to travel into the past. But one ankh isn't enough proof. Judging from his notes, the Master was a person who... um... let's say, was convinced of his own greatness. Such a person would surely have taken some legendary object from the past. Search for something like this in the laboratory?
You did it! This crown is very similar to the famous crown of the King of Syracuse! King Hiero asked Archimedes to determine its true composition, and as a result, with this very crown Archimedes formulated his famous principle of buoyancy... Did the Master really bring it back with him from the past?
-
Symbol of Eternal Life
Martha
If the Master was indeed responsible for the mummies appearing in the City, they must've been the result of his experiments. He wrote about a "Grand Goal" in his notes. I think we need to find out where the Master travelled for his studies, and understand what this goal was. The compass we found implied that the Master learned how to time travel. Could this really be? Return to the laboratory and look for something to confirm this theory. Something... odd. Yes, I know, everything is strange threre, but we need to find something even stranger.
You really managed to find something interesting! It's aGolden Ankh, the symbol of eternal life and a treasure from Ancient Egypt. It must be a few thousand years old, but it's in impreccable condition. It's as if the Master personally received it from an Egyptian priest only yesterday!
-
A Fight Inside Out
Martha
It seems you were almost convinced that the City had revealed to us the abode of a scientist who studied time. But since you need conclusive evidence, I'll tell you how to find one of the pieces. I saw a strange bell when I was looking around the laboratory. Why is it strange? You'll understand when you find it. I believe that all your doubts will fall away after this... Find the bell and bring it to me.
Yes, this is same bell that I was talking about. It strikes itself every hour, and... hush, listen, it struck again just now... Did you hear it? At the beginning, there's an echo that becomes louder, and only after is the ringing heard. This bell rings in reverse! Do we need any other evidence that the secrets of time were discovered in this lab?
-
Tireless Rings
Isabelle
It's not difficult to make a clock with hands go in the opposite direction. I'm still not convinced that the City has revealed the real Laboratory of Time to us. We need to look for something truly unusual: a familiar item that would violate the usual order of things... for example, that acts against the laws of physics. Can you find something like that among all these devices?
Newton's Cradle, which never stops! Wonderful. That's just what I had in mind Just look at it! could the laboratory's owner have invented this legendary perpetual motion device? But how was he able to overcome the law of energy consevation?

Fragile Magic
Cardsharp
Friends, let me advise you on how to bring back spring and revive the wilting buds. I think it takes a little magic. Let's be honest, spring is all about magic... you'll manage to find the magic symbols.
What a cute little fairy magic. This is exactly what I had in mind. You are an excellent discoverer! Now take your find to Martha. Let's trust that it will save the sprouts!
-
Wings of the Wind
Detective
I've looked for sweet swans before. Maybe there's some bird jewelry in there? Birds are a real symbol of spring. Look for jeweled birds, buddy! Then surely you can bring the warmth of spring back to the tree buds and bring them back to life.
A crown of sparrows taking off, what a complex beauty. It's as if this bird is about to take flight! A crown of spring would look good on Juliet. I'll make a note about this store and the troll.

Sangevese's vine
Juliette
Hey honey, spring is all about birds and dragonflies and green grass and trees. We need to find something green. How about some ivy from the grape vines? After all, what better way to save the buds than with plants?
What a beautiful ring! It is so delicately made. It's as if the smell is wafting from the ivy leaves in the decorative part! Oh, no, this smells like candy from a dream shop... but it smells delicious.
-
Premonition of Summer
Valerie
I know what the next symbol of spring is! Dragonflies! In spring, dragonflies appear. And when they appear, it means that summer is not far behind. It's so beautiful. The trolls must have made them out of jewels. Can you find me some dragonfly jewelry?
What a pretty dragonfly, made of silver and pearls! Look at those wings, they can twirl! I wonder how much effort the troll who made it put into it... he must really love spring to be able to make something like this. This beautiful gem will definitely bring life to the buds!
-
Detoxifying incense
Isabelle
I've found that the evil aura of the trolls is deadly to the buds of the tree of life. And if we can't make the tree buds green again, spring will never come. But with the symbolic jewelry of spring that the trolls have filled with warmth and love, I think I can bring this poor bud back to life. I saw a store that has brooches with flowers on them. Let's look for it first! We must hurry, or the buds will wilt completely.
What a beautiful flower brooch! Look at the fresh sparkle on the petals! It's like the real thing. I hope it will bring the buds to life.

The Spring I Dreamed Of
Detective
The last mirror to remove the illusion created by the fingerless troll is the mirror that reflects the future. It reflects what can and will happen from now on. The mirror is decorated with plants, and it is said that the trolls believe that spring will come again. Now let's find the mirror that reflects the future.
There it is! A mirror to the future! I see it... a big catch, a shootout, a chase, and a police commissioner's badge! Is this real? Yeah, you can see me standing in the troll market... holding a tree bud! I hope this is a sign that I'll be found really soon.
-
look back (e.g. over one's shoulder)
Martha
The key item to dispel the mirage of the mirror shop is the mirror that reflects the past. Hurry! There is no more time to waste. The buds of the tree of life are weakening at this very moment. And without the buds, spring will die! Find the mirror that reflects the past.
I found a mirror that reflects the past. This will answer whatever questions you have about your life. What have you lost, what friends have you forgotten... what do you want to remember? Look, there is a sleeping spring spirit carved into the mirror frame. Does this mean that this market was not always cut off from the world? Maybe it means that spring has come here before?
-
Catalog of Insomnia
Detective
The third mirror Martha needs to enter the mirror shop is the one that reflects her sins. Who else but a troll would make such a mirror? They must be looking in the mirror to catch gullible customers! They make you do bad things in exchange for goods, remember? Find them fast.
A mirror reflecting sin... how symbolic is this mirror frame decorated with snakes and ivy. It says on the other side that seeing one's actions reflected in this mirror will keep one awake at night. I'll never look at it. I would remember all my sins even if I didn't have a mirror.
-
Shadows from the subconscious
Valerie
Martha says that the second mirror needed to remove the illusion of the mirror shop is the one that reflects fear. What do you see there? Find the mirror. I'll ask Martha, the psychic, for more information while I'm there. Oh, I hope the tree buds don't wilt while I'm doing this...
Wow, you found a mirror that reflects your fears! What a horrible mirror frame, it's disgusting...Martha said that this mirror reflects hidden fears...oh my God, there are cockroaches in it!
-
Reflection of Dreams
Martha
The first mirror to open a mirror shop and find a budding tree is the mirror that reflects desire. Probably not a single troll has bought such a mirror from a mirror maker. It shouldn't be hard to find one in this market. Find it and bring it to me.
You have found a mirror that reflects your desires! Look into it and the mirror will reflect your secret dreams. I see the buds of the tree of life. Yes, it's real. My greatest dream is to bring back the sprouts and protect the spring. What do you see?
-
Happy Moments
Valerie
We need to find out who stole the buds from the tree of life! I only have one more lamp to take to the lighting man. Then he will tell us about the thief. We have to find the lamp that brings happiness! I know why this lamp was stolen from the lighting man.
At least I found a happiness lamp. Let me turn it on for a minute. I'm dying to feel a little happiness! Especially after being cheated by that nasty dream dealer... Wow... I can see why this was stolen from the lighting guy! How did they make this stuff? I'll definitely have to shop here later.
-
Mirrored Movement
Valerie
I know what to look for. A magical clock! If I decided to study time, it would be the first thing I'd collect. It's impossible to carry out experiments on time without a clock, right? And if the experiments are magical, maybe the clock is magical too! Look for a clock, the likes of which we've never seen before. Just be careful, we don't want you turning into a baby!
A clock that goes backwards! Well done! Do you need mor eproof that the laboratory's owner was studying time? I don't know how he was able to turn back time, but he did. A master at his craft, wouldn't you say!
-
Guarantee of Precision
Juliette
Mon ami, if time truly was studied in the laboratory, its owner had to use a clock. Look for some kind of magical time piece. And hurry, I beg you! I just saw the century-old oak near the castle become a young seedling! We need to hurry and understand what kind of place we're in. The City is in danger, and we're on the wrong track?
You did it, mon ami! You have the Floating Tourbillon in your hands. This piece ensures the accuracy of a mechanical clock's motion. But why is it glowing? I'm sure this piece helped the laboratory's owner create a magical clock, which he then used in his studied!
-
Travel Companion
Detective
Did we really find the Laboratory of Time? If this is the same laboratory that the Collector wrote about, the City clearly wants us to finish his investigation. But why? We need to find out if time really was studied here. We've stumbled upon a warehouse of weird artifacts and who knows what. Look for something among the devices related to the study of time, so that we can hopefully understand the purpose of this thing. There are so many kinds of mysterious items all around though... What about an unusual calendar?
Interesting thing you've found, pal. I think it's called "Kepler's Calendar". An old invention that's still in use today, a calendar that fits any year. Clearly this thing was often in use: just look at how worn the discs are! I wonder, how did this calendar help the owner of the Laboratory in time experiments?

Fancy Toy
Huntress
I heard that you're collecting dolls for Isabelle. Come on, I'll show you where you can find the Vivian doll. It won't be easy but the doll is so beautiful that it's worth the effort.
Yes, it wasn't easy to get my hands on the Vivian doll. I'm glad that you were around to help me.
-
Shepherd Dolly
Valerie
I know where you can find the Aveline doll. It will definitely cheer Isabelle up and make her forget about her sad childhood. Will you go get it?
The Aveline doll looks like a shepherd with braids and bows... She's so cute that I'd play with her myself!
-
Seal the Vessel
Martha
We need to find the right seal for the vessel. I have lots of them in my laboratory. Bring them here and we can choose.
It's great that you managed to select the right seal so quickly. I'll enchant it too, just in case.
-
Prison for a Demon
Martha
We need a vessel into which to lure the demon. I have it in my lab. Can you bring it, please?
Everything is going well so far. I was given this vessel a long time ago for a service I performed by Marid the Djinn, Lord of the Air. It really is a remarkably reliable vessel.
-
A Drop of Blood
Martha
We need a drop of blood from the one possessed to summon the demon. You need to scratch Cardsharp with something and tell him that you are carrying out vaccinations. Inject him with a vitamin and bring the needle here.
This drop of blood should be enough.
-
Longing for Love
Detective
Next is a lamp that makes you feel longing. At least it's not pain. But then again, longing can drive a person insane. No, it can even kill you. Trolls...let's just get the job done and get out of this place. I don't want to lose my cool and mess up this dangerous place.
Okay, I found the coveted lamp. Just make sure you don't accidentally turn it on! We've already got a bunch of problems because of the lack of tree buds. You can't afford to covet even one of them. I'm trying to stay focused on my frozen city.
-
ray of hope
Valerie
The lighting man says there are lamps that give light to wake up hope in people's souls! It's like waking up in the spring! Such wonderful things can be found at the troll market. The detective is grumpy as usual. Okay, let's go, hurry up and take the lost lamp to the lighting husband!
There it is! It's the lamp of hope. Can I light it for a moment? It's nice to have a little bit of hope that we'll find the buds in the end!
-
Love and Pain
Detective
Love is sometimes painful. You have to find the lamp that causes the pain. What dangerous toys we can buy from these trolls! Fine, the work of the lighting crew is none of our business. We need to find the buds. We'll find a lamp anyway.
So this is the lamp that evokes pain? What a creepy thing. Just holding it makes me uncomfortable. I'd take it away if I had to. It's actually a weapon, after all! Let's go. I need to return this to its rightful owner as soon as possible.
-
The radiance of joy
Valerie
In exchange for helping me get back the stolen tree buds, the lighting husband wants me to get back the five stolen lamps. Once everything is returned, the troll will make a lamp that will inspire love. That's sweet! In return, he will show us where the fingerless thief is hiding. Only a troll would come up with the idea of dividing love into several senses. Ahhh...first we have to find a lamp that evokes joy. That's the first thing you feel when you meet someone you love. Find this special lamp.
There you have it! When I turn on this lamp, it brings me joy. How beautiful! I wonder how it works! May I try it on? Yes! There's something bubbly and tantalizing about it. It's like a glass of champagne! I'll buy this lamp too!
-
Butterfly in the palm of your hand
Juliette
Hey, something terrible is happening in town! The streets are covered in snow and the houses are covered in ice. It's hard to reach you! Please, hurry up and find the buds, or the spring spirit will die. Then we will die too! The last treat I'm taking to the Trolls is a chocolate butterfly. Find it quickly!
It's wonderful! What a beautiful white chocolate butterfly! It must have been hard to get these, but so worth it!
-
Flower bed
Isabelle
I wish I could help. In the spring the birds will come back and the flowers will bloom. I candied the flowers a while ago. They are very tasty. Let's find some for the trolls! With these flowers, any cake would look great. Not to mention the spring dreams he wants to make!
How cute! Candied violets! Mmmm, yummy! This is sure to remind the trolls in the dream shop of spring.
-
Wings of Spring
Detective
Did you notice the dream shop owner staring at the violets and candied fruit? I think he was trying to snatch them out of our hands! I hope he wasn't trying to trick us. I'll keep an eye on him... now let's get back to the story. Isabelle was talking about the birds that come home in the spring. And then I saw a swan. Believe it or not, it's a swan eclair! Bring it to me. That candy will bring back one more memory of spring for the trolls.
You finally found an eclair in the shape of a swan! Well done. This pastry will remind the trolls of spring. By the way, did you know that in some countries it is believed that swans come with spring on their wings?
-
Spring Lightness
Valerie
Do you know the kind of clouds that appear in spring? Winter clouds are heavy and thick, but in spring they become light as a feather! Find those kinds of funny things and help the trolls remember the spring sky! After the troll has created his dream of spring, he'll lead us about our fingerless friend. Then maybe we can find the stolen tree buds. Find the trolls a scarecrow that will remind them of the spring clouds.
Marshmallows! They're light and airy, like spring clouds! Well done! I'm taking these to my dream vendor. I'm sure he'll love it. Oh, this never-ending winter is making me forget spring too...
-
Pine Protection
Kira Woodville
I need to prepare the wound-healing infusion from cones in order to quickly deal with... let's say, work-related injuries. For the infusion, various cones are needed, so I rely on your help. Find some green pinecones.
You found the green pinecones. They're this color immediately after flowering, when they are filled to the maximum with useful substances. Rumor has it that they even protect against negative energies. But I personally value their ability to strenghten bloold vessels above all else.
-
Prayers in the Smoke
Martha
You found the lantern in the form of an incense tower. Decorate the alley at the Emperor's Palace with it, so that the citizens' prayers for the protection of the City will fly to the heavens!
-
Dangerous Dreams
Martha
So you're telling me this isn't just a candy shop, it's a "sweet dream shop"? It smells like delicious chocolate, marzipan, and cake... but you know what, don't eat it. If you eat it, you'll dream. And you can't stop dreaming. Find an artifact to distract you.
Now you understand that the "sweet dreamer" is dangerous. Next you go inside and ask about the thief with the missing finger. I hope the dream dealer knows where the thief is... Spring is almost here and we still haven't found the buds from the tree he stole. We must catch the thief as soon as possible.
-
Sense of Orange
Juliette
We just need to remind them of spring so the dreamers can make spring dreams, right? That way, we can find the buds on the trees, right? Hey, let's look for sweets that remind us of the warmth of spring! The first thing spring reminds me of is sunshine. We'll look for sweets that remind us of the sun!
Candied fruit! That's a good idea. They sparkle like sunshine. I'll take these to the dream dealer. I hope the other candies are easy to find... and the thief, too. It's not good for the buds to be so far from the magic forest.
-
three sides of a lie
Valerie
Coming soon! The watchmaker wants you to bring him a mask with three faces. The masks have the faces of sadness, joy, and anger. The watchmaker said something about how everyone in the world wears a mask... can you find one? We're just a few steps away from the bud-thief!
What a creepy mask! So creepy... and the watchmaker looks kind of sad... why did he say we all wear masks? Let's go to him! We're not just here for the tree buds, we want to help him!
-
spiderweb of deception
Detective
The troll wants you to find a pair of "deceptive nose glasses". Its lenses are covered in silvery cobwebs. Come on, buddy. With those nose glasses, I can get close to the guy who stole the sprouts from the Tree of Life! If only I could figure out why the watchmaker wants all these items!
Let me see! I don't like these nose glasses at all... they say some trolls are after the human soul, kindness, and youth. And many of their items have some kind of secret in them. These nose glasses are a symbol of deception. You have to be careful. Trolls are cunning devils and can easily deceive us.
-
the wages of sin
Detective
The watchmaker wants you to find the feather of the goddess Mart. It's a symbol of the Egyptian goddess of justice. The Egyptians believed that a righteous soul was lighter than a feather...hmmm, if the troll wants the feather in exchange for information on the thief, let's find it.
You've found your mart feathers! It is said that in the marketplace of trolls you can find anything your heart desires. But trolls often make you do something bad in exchange for gold. Speaking of Mart's feather, didn't it mean immediate recompense for your sins?
