*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''In any case, I would like to learn more about how Calonne is doing. But alas, the poisonous gas here makes this place unsuitable for such conversations.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''If it is alright with you, I would like to invite you all to our village. I'm sure the villagers would be happy to meet a friend of Calonne's''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Don't be stupid. We're not naive brats who follow any adults who give them candy. And how do we know if you're actually friends with this Calonne guy, or mortal enemies?''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Even if they are, we have no time to visit their village. We should really try to return as soon as possible.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Return...? You mean to Elrios?''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Tsk, does this look like a success to you?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Look outside! The sea is above our heads!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''I have never seen anything like this!! It's truly bea... Achoo!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Just because it's beautiful doesn't mean it's a great place to live. This cold, barren, desolate winter sea...''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''We call this place, Rigomor.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''It is... Beautiful, but the cold climate and the salt water from the sea is not suited for cultivation.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Hm? This place...''

*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Is there a problem?''

Haivan, who introduces himself as Winster's son, leads the party deep into the nest.

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Yeah. Garen have sharper fangs and claws, and superior strength. There's no Nous that can win against a Garen on a 1 on 1 fight.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''Hmmm... That description really reminds me of someone.''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''So, have you ever met a Garen before?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Uhh... Sort of? I've met a Garen, but she wasn't an enemy. I was born after we've settled in Rigomor.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Oh, so you know. Our ruler is one of the 4 Lords under the demon king.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''The ruler of the Northern Beasts, the White-Ghost King Aegirp, that's the name.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''(Is this why Lu didn't want to reveal she's a lord? But why...)''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''I've heard a lot about this ruler, and they were all great. A wise ruler, a compassionate ruler...''

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''The same belief... You must really respect your father.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Haha, we're almost there. These guys hide the most important stuff in there.''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Hmph, so you weren't leading us astray.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''I'm hurt. What did I do to deserve all this suspicion? I haven't done anything bad yet.''

Haivan talks about the White-Ghost King Aegirp.<br>What is Winster thinking, serving the ruler who's barely alive.

|QuestAD=  

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Phew, that should teach them a lesson!''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''Ain, that's ages ago!''

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Trosh:''' ''Scree...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''They were rather misbehaved. We didn't harm them too much, as you've wished, but it would take time before they break their habits.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''... I see.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''... Are you really the Steel Queen?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Haivan!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Yes, although you look different than before, it wasn't hard to recognize you.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''So initially, I was thinking about destroying the tunnels. I couldn't just stand idly knowing that the villagers will be hurt, and the village destroyed.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Ugh... It's not polite to ask a lady's past!''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''But now, I feel grace and dignity from you, in place of the violent intent. I was certain that now, you would listen to what I had to say.''

*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''So the potential ally you spoke of was the White-Ghost King?''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Precisely. Even when the Demon King was around, she wasn't the sort to pick fights.''

*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''......!!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''... What?''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Huh?! Trading with the Northern Empire? What do you mean?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''... I didn't know you already heard from Calonne. I wonder how much he trusted you.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''My lord believed that the reason why the Nous and the Garen were in conflict were because of the barren lands. She believed that if we had enough resources, there wouldn't be any reason to fight.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''So the ornaments I've seen back home were made with gems from the demon realm...''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''In the past, we opened a portal using the energy from this gem. However, we can no longer use it, as we cannot go to the surface.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Does that mean you can open a portal to Elrios so long as you have these gems?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''We can no longer use the portal we've used to trade, as it's located on the surface where the Garen are. I suspect it no longer exists.''

*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Hey, who's that coming this way?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Good timing. I called someone to help us move the submarine to the village.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel}} '''???:''' ''Winster, are you alright? Who...''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Nichel. This is one of the four demon lords, Queen Luciela, and her allies. They've promised to aid us in resurrecting our lord.''

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I don't understand... I thought you were on bad terms with the Garen?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Her parents were two of the few Garen who helped us. Nichel was born here, after the event.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Nichel. We must start the abandoned plant. We don't know what might go wrong, so please go check.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel}} '''Nichel:''' ''That's true... It's been awhile since last time... Then I'll go scout ahead.''

*Complete the '''Deal for Return''' story quest

|Objectives=

|Description=

A key needs to be made in order to go to the secret lab the holds the portal. Let's split up and defeat all the monsters in the abandoned factory.

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Of course! It's where important research data and the portal lies!''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''If we refine icerite mined from the lower levels, we can create a highly concentrated icerite capsules. It contains pure condensed energy.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Yes. It's one of very few resources we can use here.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''It's a green, ice-like mineral with wave patterns. You will be able to recognize it easily.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Here, it will be easier if you see it. It brought some from the submarine.''

*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''That's why it's called an 'ice'rite. It's almost like an ice shard. So we need to refine this?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''When it contacts water, it reacts and creates energy. We need to condense that energy.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Well... I did think it would be useful as a weapon since it's poisonous, but it doesn't seem that effective with all of you in tip top condition...''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''Should I apologize for leaving the tunnel unscathed?''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''If they've settled by the chimney, I suspect the inside is just as infested. It's best if we split up.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''If it's just our usual maintenance, Nichel would be enough, but seems you are in a hurry, I will designate some of you to the upper level as well.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Nichel will head towards the chimney, Haivan will head to the center of the plant where the refiner is, and I will be headed to the lower levels.''

*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Then we should divide ourselves to three groups as well.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''So four with Nichel, then five each for the center and lower levels?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''Ah, it would have been nice if we had one more person. Then it would have been divided evenly.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan}} '''Haivan:''' ''I see, then I wish sparkly weird plate good luck too!''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''We've all had no time to rest since we've come to the demon realm...''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''I'm sure we'll be fine, but don't overdo it.''

*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Elsword...''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Hohoho, I will make sure nothing goes wrong on my watch in the lower levels.''

*{{StoryIcon|DyB}} '''Rena:''' ''If anything happens, call me! I'll be listening in!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Huhuhu, we will be in your care.''

*{{StoryIcon|Zero}} '''Zero:''' ''What did you say?!''

*{{StoryIcon|DB}} '''Add:''' ''You're the one that's acting weird lately. Tsk, we shouldn't have to worry about you.''
