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.

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?)

Ain: (This is a waste of time. Why are they wasting their breaths? Humans must find formalities more important than getting things done.)

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.
