Hey you! Come back here, and pay for the ride!
- 246
- Young Boy
Hah! Catch me if you can!
- 247
- Ship's Sailors
Someone please catch that kid!
- 251
- Young Boy
You can't catch me!
- 254
- Ship's Sailors
Haha, he fell! That's what you get, kid!
- 255
- Young Boy
Achoo! Boy it's cold...
- 256
- Ship's Sailors
I guess it's a little too early for a swim, huh kid?
- 257
- Young Boy
Oh shut up! Fine, I'll pay!
- 258
- Young Boy
...
Now I'm broke.
- 259
- Young Boy
...
Hey you, come here.
Do you know about a person named Vittoria Orseolo, a famous Patrone (female supporter of the arts and culture) of this town?
- 260
- What do you want to do?
- 263
- Young Boy
You don't know? I guess I have to keep looking...
- 264
- Young Boy
Wow, you know her!
Can you introduce me to her? Come on, help me out, will ya?
- 265
- How will you respond?
- 268
- Young Boy
Come on! I promise to repay you if she hires me.
- 269
- Young Boy
Woohoo! Thanks!
- 270
- Ship's Sailors
...
You want to serve Lady Vittoria? Forget it, kid.
She is revered as the sun that shines over Venice.
A dirty little kid like you will be turned down in no time.
- 271
- Young Boy
Stop calling me kid!
I was born in Andalucia, and I'm a future treasure excavator! Name's Harun!
- 272
- Ship's Sailors
The Orseolo mansion is down this street.
Turn left at the guild district, and cross two bridges.
You must have a lot of time on your hands, wanting to take a kid like that there.
- 273
- Painter
Hey! It's you, Player, who saved the princess!
- 274
- Harun
You better believe it
- 275
- Sculptor
Player, who is that annoying-looking kid?
- 276
- Archaeologist
Player!
Lady Vittoria has told us all about you.
- 277
- Painter
Player, who is that dirty kid?
- 278
- Harun
Dirty! You're the one who needs a bath!
Hey, where is Miss Vittoria anyway?
- 279
- Vittoria
Player, thank you for coming to see me.
...Who is that child?
- 280
- What do you want to do?
- 283
- Harun
(Hey, Player, you promised to introduce me to her!)
- 284
- Vittoria
I see, Harun.
I am Vittoria Orseolo.
Nice to meet you.
- 285
- Harun
Here, Lady Vittoria, take these.
It's the head of an old roman statue, and a bird sculpture from Egypt.
- 286
- Vittoria
...
Harun, I'm sorry, but...
- 287
- Harun
I see, someone of your stature shouldn't be seen with cheap junk like these.
If you hire me, I can dig up even more expensive things.
I used to specialize in digging up old graves.
I know tons of great sites for treasure...
- 288
- Vittoria
So you're a grave robber?
- 289
- Archaeologist
...
You should give up.
Lady Vittoria will gladly support an academic study of ruins, but she hates grave robbers who damage the precious ancient sites.
- 290
- Harun
Wha...
...oh...
- 291
- Harun
Alright then.
I guess I had my chance.
Goodbye, Lady Vittoria.
- 292
- Harun
...
Dang.
I came all the way down here and now I'm broke again.
- 293
- Vittoria
Wait.
- 294
- Harun
Wha..!?
- 295
- Vittoria
...
I understand.
Player brought you here, I will hire you.
However, you must promise one thing.
Never steal relics from ruins without permission, ever again.
- 296
- Harun
Okay! Sure! I'll never do that again!
- 297
- Vittoria
Good, I'm glad.
- 298
- Harun
Sure! I'll stop grave robbing, no problem!
- 299
- Sculptor
Looking forward to working with you, Harun.

- Painter
What you see here is a cut above the Salon at some random rich aristocrat.
Our princess has eyes sharper than many specialists.
Smart-talkers with no skill are gone faster than they arrive.
- 301
- Sculptor
That's right, the only ones that remain are honest idiots like this one.
He lost his job because he would paint rich old women like greedy hogs and conniving aristocrats like scheming demons.
He was starving when the lady found him.
- 302
- Painter
Hush you! You're no better.
I heard your piece got branded as heresy, and you had to run for your life!
- 303
- Sculptor
What!
All I said was that it's presumptuous for us to depict God with a loincloth!
- 304
- Archaeologist
...Come on, both of you, calm down.
In short, at this Salon, lone wolves who do not sit well with the rest of society still have a chance at success if they have the skill.
This is impossible at an aristocrat's salon, where formalities are everything.
- 305
- Painter
You'd better be ready, Harun.
Our princess has eyes sharper than many specialists.
- 306
- Sculptor
Harun, we welcome you to our Salon.
- 307
- Archaeologist
At this Salon, lone wolves who do not sit well with the rest of society still have a chance at success if they have the skill.
This is impossible at an aristocrat's salon, where formalities are everything.
- 308
- Harun
By the way, Vittoria.
I heard that the Orseolo family has a great collection.
Is that true?
- 309
- Vittoria
Yes, the items collected by my father are still kept in the basement of this mansion.
However, my brother won't let anyone into that room.
Not even I get to take a look.
- 310
- Harun
I see.
But you know, it's human nature to want to see something if it's so special and secret, don't you think?
- 311
- Vittoria
Alright, Harun, I will show you.
It's not managed very well, so it should get some air anyway.
Player, come with me.
- 312
- Harun
Wow! It's so full of gold and gems!
- 313
- Vittoria
Yes, it is.
But my favourite is not that.
Where has it gone...
It should be here somewhere...
Ah! Here it is.
This picture of the holy mother and child.
- 314
- Vittoria
Don't you think it's beautiful?
- 315
- Harun
...
Hmm, it's style is too different from what I'm used to, so I don't know...
But I can tell this woman is very happy.
- 316
- Vittoria
Yes.
Usually, icons are painted to look solemn, but the Holy Mother in this picture is smiling.
It's as if she's giving thanks for her whole life...
- 317
- Vittoria
When I was small, I was moved by that picture, and it made me want to become a protector of the arts and culture.
- 318
- Harun
I see, so, if it wasn't for that picture, I would still be jobless.
I guess I should be thankful for that!
- 319
- Voice
What are you doing!
- 320
- Vittoria
!!
- 321
- Alvise
Vittoria...
- 322
- Alvise
I told you many times not to enter that room without permission.
- 323
- Vittoria
I apologise for that...
But brother, why must you be so...
- 324
- Alvise
That is not your concern.
- 325
- Alvise
I must depart, for I have work to do.
Do not leave the house without my permission, you must be kept safe from the Council's schemes.
- 326
- Vittoria
He doesn't have to be so angry...
- 327
- Harun
Well, it's my fault too.
Don't be too harsh on yourself.
- 328
- Vittoria
I see.
Thank you, Harun.
- 329
- Harun
By the way, Player.
Thanks for bringing me here.
I wouldn't have been able to join this Salon without you.
Here, take this, it's a token of my gratitude.
- 330
- Harun
Hey, your inventory's full.
- 331
- Do you want to drop some of your inventory to receive "Prospector's dowsing rod"?
- 332
- What do you want to do?
- 335
- Harun
Go find some place to lighten your load, ok?
- 336
- Harun
You don't want it? Well, fine then.
- 337
- Harun
Thanks for bringing me here.
I wouldn't have been able to join this Salon without you.
Here, take this, it's a token of my gratitude.
- 338
- Vittoria
Player, thank you for coming today.
I hope to see you soon.
- 339
- Harun
Thanks to you, I was able to join this Salon.
I'm really grateful that you brought me here.
- 23009
- One day at the Venice port, Player met a young Muslim boy who had stowed away on a ship.
- 23010
- A fledgling treasure hunter, the boy named Harun pleaded with Player to introduce him to Vittoria when he heard that she was an acquaintance.
- 23011
- Upon visiting the Orseolo family, Player was greeted warmly by Vittoria.
After being introduced, Harun tried to impress Vittoria by offering her some treasure that he had found.
However, Vittoria knew that these items had been stolen and refused to accept them.
She was always happy to fund academically-focused excavations, but she absolutely despised illegal digs that could harm the ruins.
Disappointed, Harun got up to leave.
However, Vittoria called to him and promised to give him a contract if he would give up illegal digging.
Harun was extremely excited and agreed to the conditions.
- 23012
- The artists and scholars welcomed their new friends.
They spoke about how that even though the level of Vittoria's Salon was top notch, it was different than other Salons for nobles in that flattery would get you nowhere.
Instead, it was a place where even people who liked to go it alone could flourish.
- 23013
- Suddenly, Harun stated that he would like to see some of the pieces of art stored in the Orseolo mansion.
Vittoria agreed to make an exception this one time and taking Player along with them, went to the storage room.
There, Vittoria showed them her favourite painting, that of the holy mother and child.
The painting captured the holy mother with a smile on her face.
This was the piece that got Vittoria interested in art.
All of a sudden, an angry voice called out to the group.
Alvise scolded them for entering the storage room without permission, to which Vittoria apologised, but also asked why the room was off limits.
Alvise told her it did not concern her and then left on government business.
- 23014
- Vittoria was feeling sad after being scolded by her brother, so Harun apologised, saying he was partially responsible as well.
Then, he thanked Player again for introducing him to Vittoria.
