Mancante Sage

Oh no! The sage disappeared! According to this short letter, he says that they found out where he is and are coming for him. Where could he have gone? He also says he left a box for you. According to his letter, it's from your master. He asked to have everything in that box safely looked after. You can't open the lock? Hmm, you're right. You could take it to Blacksmith Bulcan west of the central plaza. He'll help you out.

Having been a magic armor merchant for so long, I can see the lock on this box isn't an ordinary lock. Go to Blacksmith Bulkan west of the central plaza and show him this box. He'll help you out.

No, no. This isn't a job for a blacksmith, but it might be fun getting that lock open... Well, I can't do it for you just now. Wait while I finish what I was doing.
