Quest-Giver Dialogue 

• Hubert:
  • "Trade among merchants has boomed since we annexed the Alliance territories. This is all well and good, but we should not leave them defenseless, lest disaster strike."
• Seteth:
  • "It seems that the knights' presence has been encouraging to the merchants. It is good that the market is active, but we should make certain that the area is safe for trade."
• Gilbert:
  • "It seems that, despite the danger, the merchant traffic continues to increase. We should take action, before there is an incident."
• Hilda:
  • "There's a lot more merchant activity lately, isn't there? This area's still pretty unsafe, though. We should do something about it, before something bad happens."

Quest Completion Dialogue

  • "Thank you for looking after the merchants. Their safety is one of the keys to peace and prosperity in the region. You have done us a great service."
• Gilbert
  • "I'm happy that you moved quickly. Now the merchants will be safe. Since we will be using this area as a base, it's critical that we secure it as best we can."
• Hilda
  • "Amazing. All is peaceful now. And the merchants are safe. I wonder if we'll see any more new shops popping up at the monastery. If so, what will they sell?"
