You know what I call Alquimia Research Center? "The Meat Grinder."

That place chews Daevas up and spits them out. It's filled to the gills with Lepharists who'd as soon rip out your heart as look at you.

That's why it's the perfect place to send newbies for training!

Trial by fire! Best kind of training there is! The Alquimia Research Center is my go-to area for promising Daevas.

But lately, there's been less "training" and more "slaughter." High Priest Esras is the cause of that.

I'd hate to lose my training ground because of one Lepharist. Think you could take care of her for me so I can continue using it?

I suppose Esras being sent there could be sort of my fault. My, er, students were really mowing them down at Alquimia for a while!

Don't look at me like that! The Daevas I send are always very capable! I don't believe in words like "impossible" or "reckless."

But how about this: I'll give you a coin when you come back. Good deal, eh?

Well, if you can't, you can't. I'm sure you don't have time to do every personal favor asked of you.

This does get me thinking, though: what if I sent EVERY Daeva I know over at once?

I think with enough of them, they could not only overwhelm the High Priest, but every other Lepharist at Alquimia! What do you think?

To answer the question I know you want to ask: no, I don't think I'm "tricking" anyone by sending them to Alquimia.

I may massage the truth...a little...but it's for their own good! And Asmodae's! You think great Daevas spring up every day?

As soon as High Priest Esras is defeated, I'll be sending them right back there again! Speaking of which...?

Ah, excellent, excellent!

She might end up recovering sooner or later, but we'll worry about that when the time comes.

Now, where's that just-ascended Daeva I met? I must tell him there's treasure at Alquimia...LOTS of treasure....

1. Terminate High Priest Esras (/1).

2. Report to Jahok.

Go to Alquimia Research Center and defeat High Priest Esras, who's interfering with Jahok's, er, training.

Jahok has been sending gullible young Daevas to Alquimia Research Center for trial by fire "training."

However, with the appearance of High Priest Esras, the Daevas have gotten more practice dying than fighting.

You went to the Research Center and slew Esras, to Jahok's great delight. He gave you a coin as reward.
