- Gyorin reaches the conclusion that perhaps his barbels are not made for detecting valuable minerals. He tells you he will once again seek another way to make his name as a merchant.
Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Gyorin: I am ready to begin my life as a miner, a prospector. Yes, yes. I mean to search for my fortune, my fame. I am sure it lies to the west of our manor. Gyorin: I will go ahead of you, [Forename]. But please, do come and find me. Yes, yes.
Speaking with Gyorin
Gyorin: Where to look, where to look... Gyorin: [Forename]! You gave me a start, a fright. But I am glad to see you. It was so good of you to come, to visit. Gyorin: I am prospecting for ores as we speak, using my fortune-seeking barbels. Yes, yes. The Namazu barbel is a sensitive thing. Mine will detect where the most precious of ores lie. Gyorin: I do believe I found something! I feel a tingle, a twinge in my barbels. Gyorin: They tell me there is great mineral wealth to the north. I must go, I must away!
Speaking with Gyorin once again
Gyorin: It is all well and good to have found a choice mining location, but I am afraid my hand is stayed. There are a host of nasty beasts lingering, prowling. I can't get to the ore for fear of my life! Please, [Forename], you must help me.
Speaking with Gyorin
Gyorin: I knew those monstrosities would pose no match for you. Yes, yes, no match at all. The way is now clear. Leave the rest to me! Gyorin: I will mine these lands and amass a haul of ore the likes of which Yanxia has never seen! But it will require some time, some patience. Yes, yes. You should return to my warehouse and await me, [Forename]. I wish not to bore you with my digging, my picking.
Awaiting Gyorin at the designated location (Cutscene)
Gyorin: The deed is done, finished. Yes, yes. And what a haul we have! Come, [Forename], and behold the fruits of my labor. Gyorin: Look at how they sparkle, how they shine. I have no doubt these ores will see me to greatness, to fame. Gyorin: I must show them to Gyofu. Yes, yes. He is very knowledgeable about the selling of ores. His appraisal will be most reassuring. Gyorin: Gyofuuu! I have something for you to inspect, to see.
Gyofu: You certainly are in good spirits. What is it, Gyorin?
Gyorin: I have been mining, and brought my first haul of findings for your appraisal, your valuation. Tell me, how much gil will these ores fetch at market?
Gyofu: Is that where you've been off to all this time? Well then, let us have a look, shall we? Yes, yes. Gyofu: You want the truth of me, yes Gyorin?
Gyorin: And nothing besides. Yes, yes, tell me your honest opinion.
Gyofu: It is difficult to place a value on these ores you have. Quite difficult indeed. And that is because they are so very, very... Gyofu: Worthless! You dragged a veritable pile of garbage across Yanxia and into our manor!
Gyorin: W-Worthless? But my barbels tingled, twinged... I would have staked my life that these ores were valuable. Gyorin: But thank the gods I did not. I suppose I must find another way, another means, to make my fortune. Thank you, Gyofu. I do appreciate your honesty, your candor. Yes, yes.
(Optional) Gyofu: Gyorin seemed to be quite down. I hate to be the one to tell him, but someone had to. Those rocks he had were worthless.
Speaking with Gyorin
Gyorin: I used my barbels to detect the ores just like my master taught me. Yes, yes, I did. <sigh> I suppose the barbels of my line are not fit for mining. Gyorin: Still, my dream is my dream. I will not give up yet. I will find another path to greatness. And when I do, you will be the first to know, to hear, [Forename].
