Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Ruben was busy with the preparation of the Harmony Festival, now that the stolen El has returned back in its place.
  • Due to the negligence of the lord of Elder, the arrival for the supplies were delayed. As such, even the El Search Party was helping the preparation instead of training.
  • Raven: I will go chop some wood.
  • Elsword: I'll go help. We'll need a lot of wood to burn all night.
  • Ain: .......
  • (RUSTLE- RUSTLE-)
  • Ain: Elsword, I have a question.
  • Elsword: Huh? What is it?
  • Ain: Why is the El Search Party only in Ruben?
  • Elsword: Huh? Why is it only in Ruben?
  • Ain: Yes. Restoring the El is a valuable task, yet I don't think I've seen them in Elder or Bethma. Are there more in other regions?
  • Elsword: Hm... I'm not sure about other regions...
  • Raven: Ruben is the only one.
  • Ain: Why is that? Is restoring the El no longer important?
  • Raven: That's not the case. I do not know all the details, but I heard the situation surrounding the ownership of the El is quite complicated. After all, Velder is not the only country with the El.
  • Raven: There used to be more El Search Party in other regions within the kingdom, but I heard they were downsized once it was clear they weren't showing any results.
  • Ain: So it's a matter of ownership and results...
  • Ain: In other words, they fought amongst themselves to claim the Goddess's blessing, and when there was no immediate gain, they used that as an excuse to stop the support. It's shortsighted and pathetic.
  • Raven: It's amazing regardless. I have heard stories, but when I heard about it, it was much smaller. The El Search Party did an admirable job.
  • Elsword: Of course! I'm just glad we got the El shard back before the Harmony Festival!
  • Ain: .......
  • Elsword: We managed to chop a lot while talking.
  • Raven: You're right. You two, take the firewood and return first. I'll stay a bit longer. There can never be too much firewood.
  • Elsword: Huh? Wait...!
  • Elsword: ... He doesn't have to avoid everyone.
  • Ain: Elsword, may I ask you one more thing?
  • Ain: Do we have to participate in the festival?

The Priest and the Harmony Festival 2
{{
Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the quest The Priest and the Harmony Festival 1
  • Clear 5 dungeons within level range (excluding Ruben/Henir/Ereda)
Description

The Priest expresses his thoughts to his companions.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Elsword: Huh...? What do you mean?
  • Ain: There isn't any law requiring one to participate in the Harmony Festival, no?
  • Ain: We did manage to retrieve Ruben's El, but surely you're not satisfied? We need to hurry if we wish to completely restore the El.
  • Elsword: That's... true... But we don't need to hurry, right?
  • Ain: 'We don't need to hurry?'
  • Ain: Elsword, didn't you see the people who tried to use the El for their own selfish gains?
  • Ain: It's the same for the Nasods. The Nasods are not completely without fault for the El overloading. Their main power source is the El after all.
  • Ain: If that Nasod we saw in Altera or anyone else go after the El while we're resting like this, it will prove to be troublesome.
  • Ain suppressed his frustration and tried to persuade Elsword, but Elsword didn't seem to get it even after Ain's insistence.
  • Elsword: But that's the same for people and animals too, right? Everyone can live prosperously thanks to the El.
  • Elsword: Or, do Nasods need so much that they'd exhaust the El?
  • Ain: Well... No.
  • Ain: The Nasod War happened because there were too many Nasods, and considering what we've seen in Altera, they do not have enough resources to rebuild their numbers like that again.
  • Elsword: See? So we're good!
  • Ain: I wouldn't say so.
  • Elsword: Now what?
  • Ain: You heard. What Raven said about the ownership.
  • Ain: The idea of the El being owned by specific by a specific country or region is ludicrous. The El, is a gift bestowed by the Goddess of Elrios.
  • Elsword: Um... Does the location of the El really matter?
  • Ain: Of course it... ... What?
  • Elsword: If the Goddess bestowed the El to Elrios, then it's fine as long as it's in Elrios isn't it? It doesn't really matter where.
  • Ain: How... Elsword, do you have no desire to restore the El to its former glory?
  • Elsword: Of course I do. Restoring the El is very important!
  • Elsword: I just don't want to forcibly take the El from other people.
  • Ain: No, Elsword, that's...
  • Ain: .......
  • Ain: 'I accept the reasoning behind the people's wish to cycle the energy of the El.'
  • Ain: 'However, I do not understand how cycling the energy of the unstable El take priority over fully restoring the El?'
  • Ain: 'Elsword does not seem to get the significance. How can I make him understand?'
  • Ain: ... Alright, Elsword. Then can you promise me one thing?
  • Ain: That once the Harmony Festival ends, we will promptly leave to retrieve the El.
  • Elsword: Of course!
  • Ain: Sigh...
  • Ain: 'I suppose humans are weak and need an occasional rest like this.'
  • Ain: 'Since I decided to act with them, I should be more patient to blend in more...'

The Priest and the Harmony Festival 3
{{
Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the quest The Priest and the Harmony Festival 2
  • Clear 5 dungeons within level range (excluding Ruben/Henir/Ereda)
Description

The festival preparation was slow-going due to the lack of supplies.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • After delivering firewood, Elsword and Ain briefly looked around. Villagers were all busy preparing for the festival and even Raven was awkwardly standing there amongst them.
  • Elsword: How's the situation? Is it bad?
  • Ann: It's not great. There's not enough food, and the fabrics haven't even arrived. I'm not sure if we'd have enough time to make the clothes...
  • Ain: 'Is it necessary to have a festival even in a situation like this? I do not understand why they'd force themselves.'
  • Lowe: Hey, at least look at the bright side. With this, we should be able to make enough food for ourselves. I heard there are some villages that's been pillaged by bandits.
  • Ann: Still, I'm a little disheartened that this year's festival is lacking compared to last year's, especially the low supply of flour and meat. I don't think we can bake a lot of pies...
  • Raven: ......
  • Raven looked concerned when he heard Ann and Lowe's complaint. He silently turned around and headed to the forest.
  • Elsword: Where is Raven headed to now? He just came here...
  • Ain: Maybe the topic itself makes him uncomfortable.
  • Ain: Since Mr. Half-Nasod was the captain of the Black Crows.
  • Elsword: Hm...
  • Elsword: Anyway... We have a lot of fruits, so let's bake pies out of that. We can make stew with the meat... That should be enough food to go around.
  • Ann: But what about the festival robes?
  • That moment, there was a commotion at the village entrance. It seemed a wagon was coming to Ruben.
  • Ain: Hm? Hs. Magician is back. Where did you go?
  • Aisha: Phew, I went to Elder! I thought I wouldn't make it on time.
  • Ann: You're right on time! Sigh, I was really worried we won't get the robes on time.
  • Hagus: At least we have them now. But we must hurry. Let us all work on it together today.
  • Aisha: I'll help too! I'm very good at sewing!
  • Elsword: You? Sewing?
  • Aisha: What, you don't believe me? You start picking up things when you're always on the go, you know?
  • Aisha: But, even if I help out making the robes, there's still so much things to do. Hm... How's the food preparation?
  • Elsword: Don't worry, it's already prepared in case the fabric arrived late!
  • Elsword: I'll be helping out with cooking so the preparations will be done before the festival starts.
  • Aisha: You? Cooking? That's really unexpected. Are you sure it's edible?
  • Elsword: What do you mean! You're making fun of me!
  • Aisha: There, there. I'm sorry for doubting you. Of course you're good at cooking since you're so good at eating. Anyway, since Elsword has the cooking down, we need more help to make clothes. Ain, would you mind helping me out?
  • Ain: Me? Ah... I suppose. I should warn you, I've never done something like this before.
  • Aisha: It's fine. It's easy once you know how.
  • Aisha took the pattern and confidently traced it on the fabric. Ain watched as Aisha's hands fluttered across the fabric.
  • Aisha: Let's start by cutting out the fabric according to the measurements. It's important to have each part sectioned out.
  • Ain: I see. You cut the front, and the sleeves separately... Are you eventually sewing these parts together?
  • Aisha: Yeah! You've got good eyes.
  • Ain: What happens if you make clothes without cutting them out like this?
  • Aisha: It's going to be uncomfortable since it won't fit properly. You can't call that clothes anymore.
  • Ain: Ah, so that's how it works. I'll have to be more mindful with my clothes next time.
  • Aisha: Next time?
  • Ain: Haha, it's nothing.
