Trader Simplon:
Ho, you have brought back ten rusted swords used by the tracker skeletons of the ruins. I can tell from the Gracian characters engraved on the blade -- the undead of the ruins are all spirits of the soldiers that died during war with Gracia.
Anyway, many thanks for your trouble. Here, take one of these rusted swords. Why? Because that is none other than the sword of trial!
What is that dumbfounded look on your face? Don't be unreasonable. Look here, young fellow, did you think we warriors had a magical sword with splendid ornaments? If I say that is the sword of trial, then understand that it is so, and be off! Here, I will write you a letter to take to Master Auron!
