Tomb of Ita
Artifact Discovery
You: Curator, is this a model of an ancient Khaimit ship?
You show the curator the artifact you'd just discovered: A partially gilded boat with the ends cocked.
Although some patches of paint fading, it still vaguely retains it's past magnificence.
Museum Curator: It appears to be something from the ancient kingdom called a "Daylight Ship." It is at least four thousand years old.
Museum Curator: At that time, Khaimit was still a grassy swamp as there was sufficient rainfall. Thus, boats were in great demand.
Museum Curator: A boat like this one could basically navigate around all the rivers nearby at that time.
Museum Curator: It was very handy for transporting both passengers and small cargo.
Museum Curator: Besides, this model is very large in size with abundant decoration, which should be a burial object of high nobility.
After turning it over and carefully observing it, he looks up at you with slight regret.
Museum Curator: However...this model seems to be missing the mast.
You: Like a hanging sail?
Museum Curator: Yes. Daylight Ships usually have masts. But this one have lost its one over the years.
Museum Curator: [Player], I think I'll have to bother you to do something for me again.
Museum Curator: There is a shipbuilding expert nearby named Aman. Please bring this with you and ask him how the mast can be repaired.
You: Sure, leave it to me.
Museum Curator: Thanks. He should be at Oasis Lake examining the boats being built around this time of the day. You two can head straight down.
You: No problem!
Ita Desert
Go search for the ship expert in the oasis like the curator said, and ask him how the sailboat could be fixed.
You: Excuse me, is there a shipbuilding expert named Aman here?
Staff: You're looking for Mr. Aman? Sorry, you came at a bad time. He just left to deal with an emergency. He promised to be back later, though.
You: That's fine. We can wait here for him.
Staff: By the way, are you two from elsewhere? If you're tired of waiting, how about you try our boating activity?
You: Boating activity?
Staff: Yes, there are tourists coming here every year. We happen to be a shipyard, so we're thinking up some new things.
Staff: We made a lot of antique canoes. Look, something like this.
Staff: Rafting on the lake in together is so romantic! The activity is especially suitable for young people like you!
Luke: Boating? The view here seems to be pretty good. [Player], wanna try?
You: Sound good! But, we'll have to ask of you to inform us when Mr. Aman returns.
Staff: No problem. Then please come this way and get ready to enjoy the exclusive experience of Khaimit.
Oasis
Go boating with Luke while you're waiting for the ship expert.
Under the guidance of the staff, Luke and you board the canoe.
The wind blows not as hot and humid, bringing refreshing coolness while you're both on the lake.
Luke and you have a great time paddling the canoe.
You: Phew, I haven't rowed for a long time. It's quite nice to exercise!
Luke: Right. I think it's a good chance for you to exercise since you're always stuck sitting.
You: I haven't thanked you for helping me tie my hair earlier when it was getting all mussed by the wind.Thanks, I really appreciate your help...
Luke: No biggie. There's no need to be so polite with me.
Luke: I always tied your hair up for you whenever we went boating as kids.
Luke: We often ran to the park to do it back then. It wasn't a big lake or anything, but we'd still spend all day there...
You can't help but to feel nostalgic as you hear Luke reminiscing about the past.
You: Let's go to the park once we get back.
Luke: I was just thinking of the same thing! By the way, I took a lot of pictures earlier, so you can choose some to keep on our way back!
Staff: Sorry to disturb you. Mr.Aman has just sent a message.
The staff member had comes to greet you both halfway.
You: What did he say?
Staff: He said that he's aware that you're both here, but he is busy at the institute now. He asks that you head over to meet him there instead.
You: Okay, we'll be on our way then. Thank you.
Staff: You are welcome, and have a great time at Khaimit.
Rubis Research Center
Mr. Aman asked you to come back to the research center to see him. Quickly go there.
Aman: It is a typical hybrid ship for passengers and cargo, an early work of the ancient kingdom.
Aman: The location of the mast is here. For the sail and mast pattern, I will put the information together for you.
Mr. Aman is a well-dressed middle-aged man who gets right to the point without delay.
Ten minutes later, Mr. Aman hands you the information.
Aman: That's it. You can take it back for him. I still have things to do on my side, so I'll leave you to it.
You: All right, thanks.
You: (Mr. Aman seems to be a very serious person...)
Rubis Museum
Mr. Aman asked you to go and find the curator and give him the material and ship model.
Museum Curator: Oh... I see. I will have someone to fix it.
Museum Curator: Thanks again for the help this time.
You: About that... Mr. Aman shouldn't be an ordinary shipbuilding expert, right?. He seems to know a lot about ancient ships as well...
Museum Curator: His major was originally ship design. But he was interested in ancient ships as well. So he has obtained two doctoral degrees.
Museum Curator: He used to be known as a genius, and is now the leading expert here.
You: Two doctorates? He looks quite young, but he's a hot shot after all.
You: (Waaaah, I also want to experience the feeling of being an academic god...)
