Script
Exhibition Room
Ask the doctor about the crystals.
You: Dr. Miller, are you free right now? I want to talk to you about crystals.
Dr. Miller: Of course...
Before Dr. Miller can finish, a crew member rushes over to him, whispering something into his ear.
After the crew member leaves, Dr. Miller has a look of helplessness and regret on his face.
Dr. Miller: My sincerest apologies, Miss [Player]. The conductor needs me for something, so I won't be able to chat with you...
You: I see... Well, I'll come back some other time then.
Dr. Miller: However, an ore enthusiast friend of mine is also aboard this train. You can talk to him.
Dr. Miller: He is just as knowledgeable about Bakerlon crystals as I am. I'm sure he will be able to help you.
You: That's great.
Dr. Miller: His name is Addams. He's a college professor that likes to wear dark hats.
Dr. Miller: Hmm... he should be resting in the dining carriage about this time.
Dr. Miller: Oh, and one more thing—Addams has an odd temper. He likes to ask questions to spite people.
Dr. Miller: You'd best bring a friend with you, just in case.
You: Understood. Thanks, Dr. Miller.
Dr. Miller: My pleasure. Well, I must go find the conductor now.
Food Truck
Find and talk with Addams.
At the dining carriage bar, you have a chance encounter with Artem, who appears to be leaving.
You: Mr. Wing? Did you just finish your meal and are heading back to rest?
Artem: No, I was going to ask about tonight's menu.
Artem: And you? Were you going to try the afternoon tea?
You: I'm going to ask Mr. Addams about Bakerlon crystals.
Artem: Mr. Addams?
You: Well...
You tell Artem exactly what Dr. Miller said.
Artem: I see. I'll accompany you. I can ask about tonight's menu later.
You: Sure, with you here, I'm sure we'll be able to answer any questions.
After asking a crew member, the two of you find the table where Mr. Addams is.
When you mention Dr. Miller to Mr. Addams, he seems surprised.
Addams: I can't believe Miller sent you...
You: Yeah, Dr. Miller said you are just as knowledgeable about Bakerlon Druse as he is, and you'll be able to help me.
Addams: Is that so... Well, then let me test you all.
Addams: If you guys are unable to answer my questions, I won't tell you anything about the crystals.
Artem: No problem. Shoot your questions.
Addams: Since we're on this train, I'll ask you about it.
Addams: Ahem. First... how many ladies are wearing hats in the dining carriage?
You: That question is too easy for us.
Addams: Fine, fine, since you got it right, I can tell you something.
Addams: A fisherman stumbled upon the Bakerlon crystals... a hundred years before the Kahn family ever found them.
Addams: However, the fisherman didn't know what he discovered and thought it was a common rock.
Artem: A fisherman?
You: Aren't these crystals found in the Myerson Mountains? Why were there fishermen?
Addams: Intriguing, right? You'll have to answer my next question correctly to find out!
You: ...
You: Fine.
You: I got it wrong...
Artem: Don't worry. Let's take a closer look.
You: Sure!
Addams: Let's see if you can get the right answer this time.
Artem: Yes, we will.
You: Correct!
Addams: Haha, I love confident people like you. How many pots of flowers are there in the dining carriage?
You: Correct! Now I can find out why the Bakerlon crystals were first discovered by a fisherman.
Addams: Not bad, I have a newfound respect for you.
Addams: The reason why it was first discovered by a fisherman... is because of Myerson Mountains' geographical structure.
Addams: The fisherman was out at sea catching fish when he encountered a storm...
Addams: He woke up in a cavern... and realized he had drifted along the underground water of the Myerson Mountains.
Addams: It was there that he discovered the Bakerlon crystals.
You: Is that a true story...? It sounds a bit far-fetched.
Artem: He survived a storm and found the crystals...
Artem: Based on probability, the odds of that are fairly low.
Addams: Well, that's for you to decide.
Addams: But if you want to hear another story, you'll have to answer my next question correctly.
You: Here we go again...
You: I got it wrong... Did I miss something?
Artem: Take a closer look, and the answer will come to you.
Addams: Are you ready? The question will be more difficult this time.
Artem: We won't be stumped.
Addams: Listen up—how many seats are there in the dining carriage? Make sure you count them right. It counts as a seat as long as you can sit on it.
You: So the long couch counts?
Addams: Of course.
You: Let us count...
Artem: Mr. Addams, tell us the story now.
You: Yeah, we got the right answer!
Addams: Naturally, I won't go back on my word.
Addams: The story I just told you was depicted on murals found in cave ruins somewhere in the Myerson Mountains.
Addams: The discovery of those cave ruins made headlines...
Addams: But there are rumors that the murals were "faked" by the Kahn family.
Addams: For the purpose of inciting public discussion and increasing public awareness of the Bakerlon crystals...
You: ...
Mr. Addams speaks in a low voice, telling you and Artem many wonderful old stories about the crystals.
Addams: All right, I've said enough for today. Time to get some rest.
You: Thank you, Mr. Addams.
Artem: Thanks.
Addams: It's no big deal. If you want to come to our school and study minerals, I can talk to you guys for three days and three nights.
Addams: Think about it, youngsters.
You: Okay...
You: I got it wrong. Did I miscount...?
Artem: Don't be disheartened. Let's take a closer look.
You: Sure!
You: Dr. Miller described Mr. Addams as someone with an odd temper, but he seemed warm and passionate.
Artem: I feel the same way.
You: Nevertheless, I have to thank you for helping with the questions.
Artem: There's no need to be so courteous. I'm also interested in these crystals.
Artem: Well, I'll go ask about tonight's menu. See you later.
You: Sure. See you at dinner.
After watching Artem leave, you decide to tell Dr. Miller everything that just happened.
You learned a lot from Addams. Tell the doctor.
You: Dr. Miller!
Dr. Miller: Miss [Player], you seem to be in a cheerful mood. Did you talk with Addams?
You: Yeah, Mr. Addams told me a lot of interesting stories about the crystals.
You: And Mr. Addams said he would recommend Mr. Wing and me to attend his school to study minerals...
Dr. Miller: Haha, he's still the same as always, trying to recruit students for his school.
Dr. Miller: But Miss [Player], I presume you didn't come looking for me to talk about Addams.
You: Yes...
You: Actually, I wanted to ask about the fisherman story...
You: Is it true? Or did the Kahn family...?
Hearing this, Dr. Miller smiles mysteriously.
Dr. Miller: I cannot give you a definite answer to that question...
Dr. Miller: Maybe on this train, you'll find out for yourself which one is the truth.
