Back at Lakanaba, Torneko's reward is a loan of Finnegan's dog, Fido. Finnegan notes that the dog is adept at catching foxes, so our next destination is obvious: the village of foxes Torneko was tricked by earlier.
Torneko hits level 4. Seems like his only worthwhile stat is agility, which isn't exactly what I would like.
Upon entering the fox's village, Fido immediately heads into the mayor's house where Torneko had slept in his prior visit here. Due to Fido, the fox reverts to his actual form as the village disappears again. Torneko forgives the fox and receives a set of full plate armour (appraise says it's worth 1725g (!!!), since Torneko can't use it). He also meets the missing architect, Archie O'Tect (lol). The architect heads down to Ballymoral.
After returning Fido to his owner, it has become night, so Torneko heads down to Ballymoral to speak with the prince. Prince Regan asks Torneko to deliver a letter to the princess in Endor when the bridge is fixed. The next day, Torneko enters the castle and sells the full plate armour for 2668g. The king also states that the bridge is finally fixed, so Torneko can cross over to Endor and complete his task from the prince.
In Endor, it seems that Torneko has arrived after Alena has returned to the palace, as she has already won the tournament and is nowhere to be found. Apparently Torneko is the one who could use the items that Alena's party could not equip. He does kind of need them with his terrible stat growth >_>
One guard in town says that Torneko can hire him for 5 days/400g, which I don't see as being a good deal, unless we are heading for a dungeon. Time doesn't pass in those!
The empty shop in town is one of the destinations, but the old man says Torneko must receive permission from the king of Endor. To the palace, then!
From the people around the palace, Torneko learns that the princess has a secret lover (gee I wonder who that might be) and another person talks about the Zenithian Sword, which shares the name of this topic, even! Apparently the person who obtains it can climb up to the heavens. We'll be hearing more about this later, I'm sure.
After reading the letter to the princess, the king entrusts another letter for Torneko, this one directed towards the king of Ballymoral. He states that he has permission to open a shop if he successfully manages to prevent any war between the two kingdoms. After reading the scroll to the king back in Ballymoral, the king decides to stop the war and have the two lovers marry instead. Therefore, he will take control of Endor without doing anything. Success!
Back in Endor, Torneko's request is accepted, but the old man at the store wants 35,000g for the building.
Time to grind, then.
