Suspicious Testimony

Jacques also cleared himself of suspicion. Most of all, the traveler wouldn't have such terrific archery skills....... Well, now we are down to the last suspect. This person is under much suspicion because Spice Händler Barios confirms his alibi. But based on my experience over the years, I can't always believe Barios' testimony. He's easily swayed by his interests, and his eyes show he's concealing something. Let's make him tell the truth by offering him something he can't refuse. Barios wants something called the Spice of Giant. They used to be found in great numbers at the Giant's Highroad, but now they've become rare. I know where one of them is hidden. You'll be able to find the Spice of Giant if you look in the cracks of the rocks south of the Giant's Highroad. Deliver it to Spice Händler Barios, just west of the village, and ask him about his testimony. Give up if he seems to be giving false testimony just because of the Spice of Giant. What we want from him is truth!

If we put in more effort, we'll get closer to the truth. Find the Spice of Giant in the cracks of the rocks south of the Giant's Highroad and deliver it to Spice Händler Barios west of the village. Then receive a definite answer about his testimony from him.

The headman must have sent you to hear about the death of the Orc Nobleman. I swear on my ancestors' tomb, I did not tell a lie. He was with me. Oh, isn't that Spice of Giant? Can you sell that to me? You can give it to me if I tell the truth? But...but... Okay, give it to me first. If it is indeed Spice of Giant, I'll think about it. I can't tell if it's genuine from here!
