Crystals of Fire and Ice

Although I work as a merchant now, my specialty used to be collecting and dealing in jewels. I would ask travelers like you to obtain rare jewels, and I would sell them at Giran or Aden. A little while ago, I found some entertaining information while looking through some ancient documents at the School of Wizardry. The Stones of Water and Fire that were once used by the ancient Elf magicians could be found some place on this island. It was a long-abandoned place called the Elven Ruins. Sound interesting to you?

The Elven Ruins are much too dangerous for someone like me, but I'm sure you can handle it without a problem. If you bring back the jewels that I'm looking for from the ruins, I'll pay you generously. How about it?

Thank you so much for granting my request. Now please listen carefully to my account.

The Elven Ruins here on Talking Island used to be a place where the Elves taught the Humans magic a long time ago. They say that underground, there used to be a temple where the Elves performed sacrificial rites to the spirit kings of fire and water. When the Elves left the island, they broke the elemental Stone of Fire and elemental stone of ice, which were in the underground temple before they left.

But as the stones were shattered, the magic that was emitted from the shards summoned water spirit undines and flame spirit salamanders. Therefore, underneath the Elven Ruins there are still many salamanders and undines that have Flame Shards, fragments of the elemental Stone of Fire, and Ice Shards, fragments of the elemental Stone of Water, in their bodies.

What you must do is go to the Elven Ruins and bring the fragments of elemental stones that are inside the bodies of the salamanders and undines. I will compensate you according to the number of jewels that you bring back.
