Story
"No one asked anyone where they came from, what they did, and how they got here..."
In the far northeast of the Schwartzvald Republic lies Hugel, a quiet coastal fishing village that has long been a haven for people escaping their pasts. Due to its isolation, separated by Thanatos Tower and Abyss Lake, the city grew differently from other Schwartzvald cities.
But Hugel's peace has come to an end. Pursuers seeking Odin Shrine's relics, the Gigantes, and Ymir's Heart have arrived, and the airship route has opened. The people of Hugel, especially those who left their homelands for specific reasons, are now desperate to hide their secrets. They started gathering more often, holding parties to distract from the outsiders' prying eyes.
Meanwhile, the mysterious Kiel Hyre Academy, located in the fields south of Hugel, holds dark secrets of its own. The young genius Kiel Hyre, whose corporation rivals even Rekenber, runs a charitable school for the less fortunate. But what lies beneath the Academy and Kiel Hyre's private Cottage may change everything adventurers thought they knew.
Kiel Hyre Academy & Cottage
The Kiel Hyre Quest is an extensive multi-part adventure that begins at a bar in Juno and leads through the Academy, Lighthalzen's slums, and finally into Kiel Hyre's private Cottage.
K.H. Corporation has prospered for 32 years under its young business genius founder. What began as a small Einbroch factory became a huge enterprise in the Schwartzvald Republic, specializing in Guardian research and producing domestic robots. Its size is rivaled only by the great Rekenber Corporation.
The quest involves delivering wine to Ms. Lecollane at the Academy, helping a student named Elly bake cookies, visiting Kiel Hyre's Cottage to discover hidden letters, unlocking secret passages behind bookshelves, and ultimately uncovering the dark truth behind the Corporation's charitable facade.
Completing the quest grants access to the Kiel Hyre Dungeon, a factory filled with robotic monsters and the powerful Kiel D-01 MVP.
