Flight on a Board
Alex
Valerie's just a cutie, right? And always sharing interesting ideas! I watched a movie about travelling to the future, well, before I became so... see through. Anyways, the main character flew on an anti-gravity board. Do you want to look for something similar?
Wow! You've found a flying skateboard! Not that I couldn7t fly, but with a skateboard it seems more human. Strange, why won't it work? Ah, yes... On the reverse side it says: "Hoverboard. Use over a water surface." It's a pity, I would have taken it for a spin.
-
Language Barrier
Isabella
Valerie's like a child, for heaven's sake! Just look at how she's running around the laboratory. Thank heavens she's not touching anything else... Now abck to the Master's research. He went into the past, so maybe the next step was to travel into the future? If you find objects from the future, this will confirm my theory and point us towards where to go next so we can ultimately learn why the Laboratory of Time was created.
A curious thing you found: a multi-faced bracelet in which floats phrases in different languages - German, French, Chinese... even in Esperanto! I know what kind of bracelet it is! It's a universal translator because Esperanto is a universal language, which was invented in the 19th century. Will we really all speak it?
-
Explorer in the Depths of Time
Martha
Within the laboratory's walls we found various objects that showed us where the Master went in his studies of time. Judging by everything, he learned to travel to the past. But why? Was his "Grand Goal" to discover how to time travel? I think we're one step away from learning the answer to this question. I'll perform a ritual that will help locate the Master's secret records, which he did along with his most powerful artifacts. The things you collected from the past will help me in this, but I need a drop of the City's magic. Will you bring me some artifacts?
The ritual is complete, and I'm amazed by what materialised in my hands! It's the Sphere of Events, an artifact that helped the Master travel back in time! I feel a powerful aura emanating from it. A power the likes of which I've never felt before. And here are the Master's records, which he hid along side the sphere. What do they say? Read fast!
-
A Wager on Diamonds
Isabelle
I think I know how to get solid proof that the lab's owner actually visited the past. Find the Order of the Bath that, according to the Master, he won from Admiral Nelson in a card game. If the order really is in the laboratory, we won't have any more reason to doubt that the Master is more than a simple collector of antiques.
The same legendary knight's cross of the Order of the Bath, which granted Nelson nobility and the rank of Rear Admiral! You actually found it! Now I have no doubt about it: The Master is a real time traveller!
-
Left-Handed Notebook
Detective
If the Master was the genius, crackpot scientist that I consider him to be, he could make a Philosopher's Stone entirely by himself. Look for something the Master couldn't create on his own or buy from collectors - something he could only pull from the past. Maybe an item belonging to a famous historical person, but was considered lost?
Whoa! These are the legendary records of Leonardo da Vinci! He made a lot of records using mirror writing, thereby encrypting the secrets of his inventions. After da Vinci's death, the records were scattered throughout Europe, and many were lost... The Master could only get his hands on them in the past!
-
Final touches
Huntress
My hands and feet are warmer, my ears are protected. But I can't just walk around in this winter cold without a coat, can I?
Did you find my coat? Let me see. It has a nice lining. The outer fabric keeps out the cold wind. It has a hood, too. It's a nice coat! Now you don't have to worry.
-
Highest warmth
Huntress
Those boots you're wearing aren't very long. You need to find something to protect your feet from the freezing cold. Fur gaiters would be good.
The fur gaiters are so much more stylish. They are warm and look great.
-
warm yarn
Huntress
It's so important to keep your feet warm. I have nice boots on, but I need to find some woolen socks too.
Yarn socks with pom-poms? That's new. But the important thing is that they're warm. Now is not the time to worry about looks.
-
fur that protects the ears
Huntress
Ears are sensitive to the cold. You'll need a hat or a pair of furry ear muffs to keep them from freezing.
Well, these earmuffs not only look warm, they are very stylish. I wish I had one of those. It's getting colder and colder.
-
warm hand
Huntress
I heard the story from the mayor. I heard that the Snow Queen has Santa Claus locked up. That's terrible! We have to save Santa Claus. He is the only one who can stand up to the Snow Queen and stop her plot to turn the world into an icy wilderness. Can you feel it? The cold is getting worse and worse. It's freezing, especially in the halls. We need to dress warmly if we are to accomplish this mission! Mittens first. It shouldn't be too hard to find them.
You found it! With these warm mittens, my hands won't get frostbite!
-
Santa's Pickles
Detective
Well, we found all the evidence. We even know who the killer is! But we still don't know what happened to Santa. Will we find out when we find the Christmas artifact?
The moment the evidence was combined with the Christmas artifact, the city of shadows showed the crime! In the swirling snow, the Grinch snuck into the hall while Santa's attention was momentarily diverted and opened the gate leading to the North Pole. From there, the Snow Queen emerged, trapped Santa in a block of ice, and whisked him away to her castle.
-
criminal profile
Detective
After laying out all the clues, I came to a conclusion. The culprit must be someone very close to Santa Claus! He must know his price very well, given this grand scheme. I bet we'll find the killer's image at the crime scene.
It's a Grinch doll wearing Santa boots and hat. Needless to say! The elves were so mad that their work wasn't appreciated that they tried to replace themselves by making Santa a dead man!
-
Christmas Tea Party
Detective
We know how the killer found Santa's house, but how did he do it? He's not just an old man. He's not someone you can easily twist with one hand. He has very strong magical powers. It's the Christmas spirit that countless children put into it. Let's find the killer's weapon.
Poisoned tea. ...... That's how the killer got Santa Claus! You wouldn't have drunk from this cup, would you? Santa must have blacked out after drinking the poison. And then the killer attacked.
-
Ways and Means
Detective
Reading this, it seems clear that the killer hates Santa and wants to replace him. He also has an accomplice. The "Mistress." So now we know the purpose and motive. But how did the killer get to Santa? He is not an easy man to find.
A child's letter to Santa Claus? I see! With the magic of Christmas, all letters addressed to Santa Claus will be sent straight to Santa! All the culprit has to do is follow the letters!
-
motive
Detective
Following the promise of every detective novel, the next step is to find out the killer's motive. Look for clues that might indicate a motive for this Christmas crime.
Snow globes? Are you trying to tell me that the killer wanted to get his hands on this? Yeah, I got it. It's another letter. "My world." So, we're saying that the killer's intentions are embodied here. He wants to take over the world. Don't you think?
-
Start of survey
Detective
This is amazing. Half of this gorgeous hall is covered with ice. It's so cold. And this place seems to have been abandoned by the Christmas spirit of kindness and warmth. Not even Grandpa Santa Claus in his rocking chair. There is no doubt that a crime has been committed using magical powers. Let's search everywhere and gather evidence that might help us find the culprit.
Wow! There's a needle stuck in a Santa figurine! The killer seems to really dislike this kind old man. ...... Look, there are words carved on the base. Why does everyone always pamper Santa Claus? It's his little assistant elf who does the work. ......" I can't read the rest.
-
Forbidden beauty
Detective
There is one more item that belies the talents of an excellent dancer. Buddy, I've heard about Mata Hari, the dancer who was also a spy. If I am not mistaken, there is one of her accessories in the mansion!
A beautiful oriental crown. Mata Hari lived in Indonesia. She was famous for her oriental mystical dances. Thanks, buddy. Now we have everything we need to save Julie!
-
Ritual Movement
Martha
The hand movement is one of the most unique aspects of dancing. Simona Alvarez, the "flamenco rose," had mastered it perfectly. Julie once complained about the roses in the ballroom. The rose that Alvarez had braided into her hair. You can find them, can't you?
The fiery red roses are the very incarnation of Simona Al-Arez's dance. It may seem simple, but it is the fire of sincerity and genuine passion that makes it unique.
-
Dance of the Rulers
Valerie
Not only professional dancers know how to dance. I once read that Queen Elizabeth I of England danced the Volta to perfection. It's a ballroom dance, with intricate moves. The mistress definitely has some item that belonged to that legendary queen. You'll have to find it.
What a glittering collar! It is truly fit for a queen. I don't know where the mistress got this, but I'm sure we could all do better.
-
point shoes
Detective
If you're in need of a famous dancer's belongings, I know what I'm looking for next. I think I've seen a showcase with ballet shoes somewhere in the mansion. They definitely belonged to someone famous. Can you help me find them?
Look, there's a label on the shoe. They belong to that beautiful ballerina, Lily Londer. I hope Julie's dancing will be as graceful as hers!
-
Nymph Accessories
Cardsharp
To make Juliette's dance truly great, you'll need to get items from the best dancers of each era, each of whom is imbued with a piece of their talent. Let's start with Isabella Danis's flower crown. The mistress of the mansion once had it in her collection.
In her dances, Danis encouraged a return to ancient traditions. That's why her crown is similar to that of the nymphs. I don't know about you, but the mistress has a talent for collecting rarities!
-
Hear My tone!
Alex
Our orchestra is still missing one small thing. We need a penetrating, resonant sound that attracts the listener. Trumpets are too rough, cornet is not loud enough... how about a flugelhorn? Find it.
The ordinary trumpet is too rough sounding, the gentle sound of the flugelhorn is what we need for the ball. Now we have all the instruments to play the magic waltz!
-
deeply emotive study
Detective
Will Julie dance for the ghosts soon? And when she does, will I finally get to hold her in my arms? But you know what's still missing from the orchestra? Density, emotion, power... yes, the bassoon! It's got it all. Buddy, go to the ballroom and find me a bassoon.
Now I've got a bassoon. I'm not particularly fond of classical music, but I swear, if this instrument will save Julie, I'll listen to Beethoven for a month!
-
read-base
Valerie
The orchestra definitely needs a cello. It would go well with Juliette's dancing. Alex said that bass sound is not only needed for rock music! Find the cellos in the mansion. Hold on Julie, I'll get the orchestra ready in a minute!
I've always loved the soft deep sound of the cello. Better than the squeaky sound of the violin! But maybe I just haven't met a great violinist?
-
soft rhythm
Mayor
Hurry up, or dear Juliette will be dancing for many more nights! Wouldn't the sound of the violin alone dampen the youth, beauty, and passion of the dancers? Something needs to soften that sound. My guess would be the clarinet.
Never judge an instrument by its appearance. The clarinet has this enveloping sound that fits any piece. Now we are one step closer to our goal.
-
A lament played by a bow
Martha
I have gathered excellent dances for Juliette, but how can I ask her to dance without music? To fulfill the ghost's request and free Juliette, we need to collect the instruments used in the best orchestra this city has ever seen. You must find the violin inside the ballroom. This instrument is called the queen of orchestras.
What a stunning old violin. Look at it. It is inscribed by the famous master craftsman Guarneri. If I am not mistaken, it is the very same one used by Niccolò Paganini!
-
The Mystery of Brown Skin
Alex
One remaining item will complete Juliette's dance. What's missing? Her eyes don't quite have the same enigma as those of the oriental temple dancers. And that brings me to what is needed. It's the ballet La Bayadere. It's set in India. See if my guess is correct.
You've done it again! This jug captures the warmth of La Bayadere's brown-skinned hands. This ballet piece itself is wonderful, too. It is a tragic love story between an Indian princess and a brave warrior.
-
Southern Night Passion
Detective
You don't think those three ballets are all that are performed around the world, do you? There's a Spanish passion poured into Juliette's dance. That fan in Don Quixote hides the Andalusian passionate gaze. That one would perfectly convey this important emotion, man. Would it be in the mansion?
Yes, this is the fan from Don Quixote! Do you feel this energy? I remember Juliette joking with this in her hand. That Don Quixote was a supporting character in the ballet. Oh, how I wish I could see her smile again!
-
Simply enjoy
Valerie
Julie's dancing has no emotion. It needs a carefree vivacity. When it comes to everyone's favorites, what could be better than Giselle? The lilies convey the right emotion. Find it!
Lilies from the ballet Giselle! Look at this wonderful flower! Gentle Giselle was a friend to everything in the world. She never thought that anyone could be up to something evil. You can see her image in Julie's dance!
-
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.
