The guards part and let you walk into town. The girl in the strange outfit with the telescope gives you a curious look, but doesn't say anything.
You find the town bustling with activity. You notice a lot of laguz, manakete, and other animal people milling about. You also notice that a lot of these animal types are looking down on you and Slimex. They all seem to assume Lagos is the one in charge of your group.
Around the plaza, you can see a handful of small shops selling various things. The most interesting to you are (probably) potions, armor, weapons, adventuring gear, things like that. And a bakery that seems extremely popular, despite having a human owner.
At the heart of the plaza is a giant angel statue. The base of the statue is ringed with six small slots in different colors - white, red, crimson, grey, beige, and dark green. Each looks just about perfectly sized for your orb. Or, they would be the right size if your orb was broken.
You also notice a golden retriever mutt running around, playing with a stick. Everyone seems to be showing the dog a shocking amount of respect.
The plaza opens out to several different locations. To the east, a graveyard. To the south, a large Saharan plain. North is another part of town, the noble district, separated by a guard checkpoint. And the desert back to the west. You could also attempt to go to the castle.
Finally, you see a large cathedral-like building. It's got a lot of people standing outside of it, and dozens of armed guards. Some of these people don't look the same as the ones around here. A lot of them seem to be merchants trading goods in a small, clearly marked area around the building. A large sign nearby marks the building as the "Temple of Time."

Malefio immediately stops and looks at the Temple of Time. He finally did it. He can now take what belongs to him. He takes a few steps forward, browsing his three orb items before realising he doesn't have the Temple of Time deed in this version of Vitquest. Malefio falls to his knees and starts to cry.
Slimex thankfully doesn't seem to have noticed people looking down at him... That wouldn't have ended well... It stares at the angel statue for long time before turning towards a passerby.
S: "Is there a way for me to find the entity depicted in this sculpture?"
Malefio eventually goes back to his senses and move towards the first group of shops he saw, generally trying to gather rumors the shopkeepers have heard. Browse the wares too.

Slimex asks a random passerby about the statue. "Oh? You don't know the tale of Solgen? She's the one who founded our country. And even though most people worship Grima nowadays, she still has a sizable following, especially among the lower class and beorc. Rumors say that she'll return when the world needs her most. And those slots in the base of her statue glow sometimes, but no one really knows why." You notice the grey slot is glowing.
Malefio listens to the rumors. The big rumor is that some place called the Light World has now opened a fair to compete with the circus. Most of the merchants seem to find this funny.
You start by looking at the potion shop.
Basic Healing Potion: 100G
Standard Healing Potion: 250G
Strong Healing Potion: 400G
____ Resistance Potion: 150G
Water Breathing Potion: 100G
Nightvision Potion: 150G
Speed Potion: 400G
Strength Potion: 500G
Antidote: 50G
Cure-All: 300G
Slippery Oil: 250G
Lagos examines the dog curiously. It runs over, wags his tail, and offers his stick. Lagos takes the stick and tosses it. The crowd seems shocked, but the dog happily runs to retrieve it.

(I wonder where your scream came from lmao. I'm gonna put my orb in the socket, don't worry, I just want to get my bearings first.)
M: "What would that Slippery Oil do exactly?"
S: "And what do you think qualifies as "needing her the most?"
Malefio will keep an eye on what is happening to Lagos, just in case the indignation intensifies.

The man shrugs at Slimex. "It's just a legend. Solgen the Merciful and her 11 siblings left this world long ago. All that's left behind is her sacred knife." He glances towards the castle. The king probably has it or something.
The merchant gives Malefio a look. "I don't really know. The former Great Beorc General loved the stuff, though. When she resigned her position and left for the forest, she took a ton of the stuff."
Lagos continues to play with the dog. Once the crowd gets over the initial shock, they calm down.

Slimex just states towards the castle and shrugs.
M: "Would you sell me this oil in exchange for a service? I don't have any money right now..."

"I don't have anything that needs doing right now, but there's always a bunch of requests on display in the noble district, or you could try your hand at bounty hunting for the dark circus." He nods to the dog. "I know the general over there has a bounty out."

"Sorry... Are you saying the dog offers bounty or that there's a bounty on him?"

"He's offering a bounty of three flowers for some lady with a foreign-sounding named. Oiler or something." The merchant pauses. "Are you telling me you don't know who that is? He's one of the four great generals!"
The dog, satisfied with fetch for now, is leaning against Lagos and panting.

M: "Well... I'll see if I can find her...
Oh right. Can you give me information about the statue over there, specifically about the sockets around it?"

"The statue of Solgen? Sorry, I'm not really a religious man," the merchant says.

"I don't think this has anything to do with religion..."
Malefio will put his orb in the gray socket.

You find the town bustling with activity. You notice a lot of laguz, manakete, and other animal people milling about. You also notice that a lot of these animal types are looking down on you. Some look curiously at Thomas Yorkshire (AKA Jeffrey Magnum).
Around the plaza, you can see a handful of small shops selling various things. The most interesting to you are (probably) potions, armor, weapons, adventuring gear, things like that. And a bakery that seems extremely popular, despite having a human owner.
At the heart of the plaza is a giant angel statue. The base of the statue is ringed with six small slots in different colors - white, red, crimson, grey, beige, and dark green. Each looks just about perfectly sized for your orb. Or, they would be the right size if your orb wasn't broken. A slender, tall man is busy placing an orb into the grey slot.
You also notice a golden retriever mutt leaning against a fish-looking, heavily armored knight. Everyone seems to be surprised by this display.
The plaza opens out to several different locations. To the east, a graveyard. To the south, a large Saharan plain. North is another part of town, the noble district, separated by a guard checkpoint. And the desert back to the west. You could also attempt to go to the castle.

You approach the socket, noticing a small, grey shard inside the slot. You place your orb inside. It briefly flashes. When you pull it out, you notice the shard has attached to the orb!
You feel a new power awakening inside of you, and your editing ability improving.
Gained Undead Sense, +1 item slot, +1 editing range

Malefio doesn't think for a second. He adds the Temple of Time Deed to his inventory, walk towards the Temple of Time and waves his paper around.
"Sorry, can I meet the current owner of this place. This document is proof that I am the real owner of this installation."

"That would be the king," one of the merchants tells you. "You can seek an audience with him at the castle."
