- Rena: It is said, that on the day of the Harmony Festival... The Sun Master who took pity on the El Lady attacked El Tower which lead to the El Explosion.
- Rena: And that's why there are multiple Els spread across the land.
- Aisha: The El Explosion caused the ancient Elrian Kingdom to fall to ruins. Many years have passed since then...
- Aisha: You seriously don't know any of this?!
- Elsword: Hey! I'm not an idiot! I'm a member of the El Search Party! Of course I knew! ... Not to that detail though...
- Elsword: Anyway! All that matters is that I'm going to restore the El, rescue the El Lady, and return everything back to normal!
- Aisha: Now you're just listing childish dreams. The stuff about the El Lady is just a myth.
- Elsword: Stop treating me like a kid!
- Aisha: Then stop acting like one. And stop being a picky eater and eat some vegetables, Elsword! You want to grow taller, don't you?
- Elsword: I can do that without eating vegetables! What are you doing here, anyway? Finding the El has nothing to do with you, doesn't it?
- Aisha: Sigh, you're just clueless sometimes. I'm on a journey to look for my missing ring that contains my mana.
- Aisha: The person who took my ring must have been after my mana. Which means the one who stole Ruben's El Shard could be the same person who stole my ring.
- Elsword: So you're in it for yourself.
- Rena: (Oh... This is giving me a headache...)
- Rena: Phew, on another note, what do you think the person would use the El for once they receive it from the bandits?
- Aisha: The El has many uses. Even the smallest El shard holds much greater power than magic stones.
- Aisha: Not to mention one as big as Ruben's El... I can't even imagine how much it's worth.
- (CREEEEEAK...)
- Hoffman: I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I had urgent matters to take care of, as someone stole our merchandise.
- Hoffman: Hagus already told me about you.
- Rena: You were robbed? That sounds serious. How long have the bandits been active?
- Hoffman: Quite some time now, actually. The Lord of this land is not doing anything about it, so we're all worried.
- Aisha: That's negligence...
- Elsword: Hey mister, is Banthus the name of the bandit that's troubling you?
- Hoffman: Yes. He has always caused trouble for us... but while the Lord was turning a blind eye to our troubles, the number of bandits kept growing.
- Aisha: Oh! This should be straight forward, then. We're here to catch Banthus.
- Hoffman: Are you bounty hunters? Or is this a personal matter?
- Elsword: I'm a member of the El Search Party. Banthus ran away with Ruben's El Shard. I have to find him and return the El where it belongs.
- Hoffman: I see... Hm... I will tell you the location of the bandits' hideout.
- Hoffman: On one condition.
- Elsword: Huh...? What's the condition?
- Hoffman: I wish for your cooperation in returning the merchandise to the proper owners.
- Rena: We would love to help... but please understand that this is an urgent matter. With the El gone, the creatures of Ruben are already under impact.
- Rena: If we're too late... The bandits will be the least of your troubles.
- Hoffman: Do not worry. My request is related to the El. I wished for you to take care of the bandits and monsters of the forest.
- Rena: It is said, that on the day of the Harmony Festival... The Sun Master who took pity on the El Lady attacked El Tower which lead to the El Explosion.
- Rena: And that's why there are multiple Els spread across the land.
- Aisha: The El Explosion caused the ancient Elrian Kingdom to fall to ruins. Many years have passed since then...

- Aisha: Now you're just listing childish dreams. The stuff about the El Lady is just a myth.
- Elsword: Stop treating me like a kid!
- Ain: (The El Lady... I suppose people no longer believe she's real, now that centuries have passed since the El Explosion.)
- Aisha: Then stop acting like one. And stop being a picky eater and eat some vegetables, Elsword! You want to grow taller, don't you?
- Elsword: I can do that without eating vegetables! What are you doing here, anyway? Finding the El has nothing to do with you, doesn't it?

- Aisha: Not to mention one as big as Ruben's El... I can't even imagine how much it's worth.
- Ain: (Humans are doing whatever they want with the El that was bestowed by the Goddess.)
- Ain: Anyway, it's getting late. When can we meet this... Hoffman? I'd rather not waste time.
- Rena: Mm... Let's wait. He did say he had urgent matters to take care of, and we need to be asking these people a favor...
- Ain: Why should we bother when imperative that we find find the El as soon as possible?
- Elsword: Um... well, it's our first time here, right? If we snoop around and cause a scene without properly introducing ourselves, people here would get upset!
- Aisha: Yes, and we need to gain their trust if we want help finding Banthus...
- Ain: (We need... Trust? To look for the missing El Shard? Do humans no longer prioritize the El?)
- (CREEEEEAK...)
- Hoffman: I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I had urgent matters to take care of, as someone stole our merchandise.
- Hoffman: Hagus already told me about you.
- Rena: You were robbed? That sounds serious. How long have the bandits been active?
- Hoffman: Quite some time now, actually. The Lord of this land is not doing anything about it, so we're all worried.
- Aisha: That's negligence...
- Ain: (This is a waste of time. Why are they wasting their breaths? Humans must find formalities more important than getting things done.)
- Elsword: Hey mister, is Banthus the name of the bandit that's troubling you?
- Hoffman: Yes. He has always caused trouble for us... but while the Lord was turning a blind eye to our troubles, the number of bandits kept growing.

- Hoffman: On one condition.
- Elsword: Huh...? What's the condition?
- Hoffman: I wish for your cooperation in returning the merchandise to the proper owners.
- Ain: ... I do not understand. Do you find money to be more important than the El?
- Rena: We would love to help... but please understand that this is an urgent matter. With the El gone, the creatures of Ruben are already under impact.
- Rena: If we're too late... The bandits will be the least of your troubles.
- Hoffman: Do not worry. My request is related to the El. I wished for you to take care of the bandits and monsters of the forest.
