==Background Story==
You arrive to the residence of the Blue Sage'''Nikolai''', a member of the Sages of Kaizei. He lives here with his apprentices and helpers. They maintain a huge library to improve, among other subjects, their knowledge in magical sciences. If you came here to find some book you will be disappointed because as janitor '''Elias''' says: They "had an accident with some magic experiments, that caused some slimes to get out of control." Slimes ate most of the books in the library. Blue Sages are wise, thus "you look like a skilled adventurer. If you'd like to offer your help, that'd be greatly appreciated."
You will soon discover that even Sages can have issues and that the "accident" is likely a sabotage. You will have to help Nikolai and his fellows to save what they can in the library and to get rid of the remaining slimes nest in the book storage area.
==Walkthrough==
The quest is quite easy to solve (only patience is required to grind the necessary items you have to gather). but if you are in a hurry between two courses in your school, use the following spoiler.
From Nivalis: Go south to Snow field, then South-West to Snow Path, where Barbarian installed their camp. Head North to snow forest, then West along the cliffs, and climb north-east to the Highlands. Now go West and follow the cliffs, then to North when you meet the wolverns, then East until you find a cave entrance that faces a strange stone circle. Enter the frosty underground and turn left to the west. Follow the North wall and keep it to your right hand until the exit, while taking care of your health (Yetis and other nice pets wander around). Once outside, go west and go through the nothern corridor.
This quest has three independent parts: Find who is responsible of the mess in the library, try to save some books, eradicate slimes nests in the library.
'''What To Do:'''
===Investigation===
After you have talked to '''Elias''' and maybe had a chat with NPCs around, go and see '''Peetu''' on 4th floor. He seems to have originated the problem. But as you are kind, you will not troll him and calm him first. Listen to his story, then go to Helper's Chief '''Oskari''' to speak in his favour. Now investigate! Obviously no one is better placed than janitor '''Elias''' to keep an eye on stranger. A weird masked visitor have been seen just before the events! Now try to learn more: Return first to '''Peetu''' to have more information about the way things happened: A magic spell used to keep slimes under control has escaped though Peetu seems to have been very cautious. Perhaps someone in the '''library''' will tell you more? ''Ask them about the masked visitor, without forgetting to inquire about Peetu''. You will surely conclude that Peetu is not responsible of the mess and that the visitor with golden mask has done some black magic in the workshop to make him fail to seal the slimes. Return to '''Oskari''' and tell him what you learned. You will get valuable informations about the 11 Sages of Kaizei. One of them has left and is suspected now to be responsible of the recent sabotages: Weird creature behaviour, Christmas sabotage and now here! Finally go back to '''Peetu''' and tell him why he is not guilty but another victim of the traitor. He will reward  you with a useful pair of '''Silk Gloves''' (+1 Defense).
===Save Books===
Talk to '''Nikolai''' to have information about what is needed.
* Help '''Santeri''' to make glue with ''8 '''yeti claw'''s'' (10,000 Exp).
* Help '''Kullervo''' to make paper with ''20 '''Reed Bundle'''s'' (10,000 Exp).
* Help '''Eevert''' to make colored inks with ''3 '''Poltergeist Powder'''s'', ''3 '''Spectre Powder'''s'', ''3 '''Wisp Powder'''s'', ''4 '''Iron Powder'''s'' and ''5 '''Bottle of Water''''', (7,000 Exp).
* Help '''Janika''' to make Covers and bindings with ''80 '''Silk Cocoons'''s'' (10,000 Exp).
* Help '''Ensio''' to collect ''31 '''Book Page'''s'' (10,000 Exp per original page, 1,000 Exp per duplicate page, thus (310,000 + 1000* random number)Exp.).
* Return to '''Nikolai''' to get a '''Grimoire''' (+5 Magic Attack, +30 Spell Points) as a reward.

===Eradicate Slimes Nests===
Talk to '''Pyry''' to have information about Slimes nest.
You will have to clear 3 blue slime's nests (1, 2 and 3 slimes spawned) and 4 white slime's nests (3, 4, 5 and 6 slimes spawned)
If you are helped it is less likely that you succeed in nest clearing.
There is a 1/20 probability that a "slime drips out of a bookshelf right in front of you and step onto it." You are blown up.
You are advised when you succeed in clearing the nest or if slimes escape.
When all nests are eradicated '''Nea''' and '''Pyry''' tell you about it.
Return to '''Nikolai''' to get a '''Ice Gladius''' (+1 Luck, +100 Damage) as a reward.
===Hints:===
* White Slimes are easier to kill than Blue ones. You need enough dexterity(archers) or strength (warriors) to kill them in one hit or you may experience a lot of disagreements.They provide book pages AND bottles of water to heal you and for the quest as well.
* A healer in proximity can be helpful.

* 10,000  Exp. Points for cover items
* 10,000  Exp. Points per missing page and 1,000  Exp. Points for duplicate copies;
Thus a total experience points of 347,000 + RandomNumber*1,000
RandomNumber obeys to a rather complicated law. It's computed mean is 49 and Standard deviation is 5,62. You have about 99% chances that it is between 32 and 66.

* 3 poltergeist powder
* 3 spectre powders
* 3 wisp powders
* 4 iron powders
* 5 bottles of water
* 8 yeti claws
