Sheldy*Sob* Who could've predicted this sad fate? The partner I've cherished for so long...ending up like that...
SheldyCitizen! Won't you listen to a Paladin who's down in the dumps after losing his combat buddy...his favorite shield?
SheldyAs much as I loved my partner, there's no choice but ordering a new shield, so... There's an urgent need for Bronze Ingots! Can you bring some?
SheldyA Blacksmith could craft Bronze Ingots if they had the right ore, but I don't mind how you get them, really... Just bring me a few, please!
SheldyAww, but I really need a new partner...! A Paladin without a shield is like a pie without filling, a toast without butter... *Grumble grumble*
SheldyI've been eagerly waiting for this...! Quick, let me see those!
SheldyThis glimmer, what an ingot...! You must be quite the accomplished Blacksmith! This will certainly turn into a shield worthy of being my new partner!
SheldyTruth is, I had placed my old partner on a chair so he could take a rest, but then my Mama came and...sat on the poor thing! Cracked in an instant.
SheldyThat shield withstood relentless monster attacks, countless hardships in the wild, only to be defeated by Mama's weight...
SheldyWhat, you expect me to fight with no shield!? Didn't think I'd ever meet someone stricter than Captain Cuna...
LaymorOh, it's you again. I get the impression you enjoy talking to me, so I won't beat around the bush—I'd like to request your assistance.
LaymorAfter undergoing extensive training and overcoming so many challenges, I've begun to wonder what lies in that godly realm that everyone talks about.
LaymorNow for my request. I need a Gold Claymore to take me there. If you can find one of good quality or higher, I'd be more than willing to accept it.
LaymorI'm sure a Gold Claymore would help me reach the godly realm... Hm? No, it was just a thought. I can't help but wonder what lies there.
LaymorBehold that divine gleam... It's truly the perfect sword for me. May I have it?
LaymorWithout a doubt, this sword shall be the one to guide me to the divine realm. What better moment to start than now? H-Hold on, this IS heavy.
LaymorWhat was that? You can't bring yourself to give it to me? You're not trying to hack me off, are you?
GardeWhat an ironclad Paladin REALLY needs is boundless stamina!
GardeThat's what it said in the Supreme Paladin Guidebook. Stamina... Yeah, that makes sense. Wait, what actually IS stamina?
GardeI-I mean—just kidding! Haha! What kind of idiot doesn't know what a stamina is? I love stamina so much, I eat it at least three times a day!
GardeAnyway, it says here that if I can get my hands on some Hi-SP Potions +, I can become truly ironclad. Can you help me out here?
GardeOnce I get my hands on those Hi-SP Potions +, people will write songs about my ironclad life!
GardeOh yeah, that thing just screams stamina! I'm gonna be ironclad in no time!
GardeAt this point, I'm a master of all things ironclad! But, uh... I have a question. What does "ironclad" actually mean?
Talk
VetrunHe sure was quick to launch an investigation and reassure the villagers.
PaladinHalt! State your business. I won't let so much as a single booger out of your suspicious little nose get past me!
PaladinHave you heard of the Skill Board? When you level up, you receive Skill Points that can be spent there to learn new abilities.
PaladinIf it sounds daunting, fret not! Just go for the glowing skill icons and you'll be set on the path to glory.
SheldyThis road will take you straight to the capital. It snakes around a bit, but you'll get there all right.
PaladinThe capital's just a bit farther down this road. Stay safe, now!
PaladinI will train hard by day! I will train hard by night! I will always do my best to protect the realm!
PaladinBeing a Paladin is a lot of fun and totally worth it!
Paladin...is what I have to keep telling myself, or I'd break under the pressure. I made a terrible mistake choosing this Life!
PaladinUgh, I'm so tired... Someone should create a Life called Snoozer, I'd be a Master of that by now.
PaladinWell met! This is the eastern entrance to the capital.
PaladinBut if you're leaving the capital, it's the eastern exit! And we hope to see you again!
PaladinHis Majesty is a magnificent king, well-loved by all his subjects. He's my role model!
PaladinLady Rem is a wonderful princess, kind to everyone she meets. She's my idol!
Paladin*Snore*...Oh! W-Welcome to the Capital of Mysteria! Rest assured, our streets are safe at night!
PaladinSorry. I was just, uh...taking a little nap.
PaladinYou, citizen! Your face tells me you are unsure which Skills to learn as a Crafting or Gathering Life! Well, have I the solution for you...
PaladinLook for Skills with + in their name, such as Woodcutting + or Smithing +! They will increase your stats and make your work a cinch... Paladin's word!
PaladinGreetings. I am the Paladin representative of Castele! ...You DO know Castele, don't you?
PaladinIt is a kingdom with a long history, embodied by its majestic castle and castle town! The representative part I, uh, decided on my own.
PaladinIt's my dream to fight Mr. Frajeel! But if it came to it, I'd probably faint from the excitement.
VetrunHalt! The castle is currently off-limits. I won't let so much as a single booger out of your suspicious little nose get past me!
VetrunHm? State your business! No seedy, suspicious, or unsavory characters allowed!
Arsenio*Gulp*... What kind of monsters will we have to fight? I may not look like it, but I'm actually a nervous guy.
ArsenioNice to meet you! I'm your senior officer, Arsenio. I've been tasked with overseeing your training as a Paladin.
ArsenioNow remember: I'm your superior. Sure, I might've only joined three days ago. But in the armed services, rank matters!
ArsenioSo, our first order of business will be to head to the market and ask citizens if there's anything troubling them.
ArsenioDid you know Captain Cuna was a childhood friend of King Ranoah?
ArsenioApparently she became a Life Master to support His Majesty. What a beautiful friendship!
ArsenioCan I brag about the fact I was your trainer? To be honest, I already do, eh heh heh!
GardonMastering one Life is all well and good, but I also suggest trying out different Lives if you have the chance. Every Life shines in its own way!
GardonAs a Paladin, I'm grateful for the Blacksmith who made my sword, just as they are grateful for the ore gathered by a Miner, which fuels their forge.
GardonIt's a cycle of Lives supporting each other, each as important as the next. So there's no shame in branching out and trying new things!
PaladinMan, I wish the weapons here were cooler. The strongest Paladins always have the coolest swords.
GroontLife Masters have gathered here from far and wide to practice their craft.
GroontAs a matter of fact, I chose this Life as soon as I witnessed Captain Cuna's swordsmanship. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be a Paladin.
PaladinThis route leads to the outskirts of Mysteria! Don't you need to be somewhere else right now?
Paladin...I sounded a little patronizing just now, didn't I? My apologies.
GroontHis Majesty is upstairs. So I, his humble servant, am stationed down here.
Paladin (97)

SentinBe respectful when addressing the king. I'll be keeping my sentinel's eye on you!
An Urgent Ingot Request
