## Pre-Case

### Introduction

    Something with incredible element-subduing power must be in the village that’s just appeared on the mountaintop.
 **Letter:** | Leave hatred and anger behind if you intend to set foot on the land where the Spring of the Black Tiger flows.

 **Monk:** |     Incredible! This is the village where I was born and raised! We should follow the water currents to find out what happened here.
I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but I’m afraid something terrible is coming. Oh, I don’t want it to happen again...

## Unlock Location

### Enter Location

Buddy, what do you mean what am I doing here? I’ve been following you for a while. I fell behind on the mountain path - I was out of breath.

## Start an investigation

### SECRET BONDS

 **Book:** |     The case is unlocked revealing the first stage.

O great spirits, water is rapidly flowing out of the font! Now it’s clear why the river is hurrying to fill it.
If the spring is empty, the passage for the Tiger will be closed, and the earth will be left unprotected. But why does the water flow away?

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 1

### Learn why the spring is drying up.

* **Collection name:** In the Water Stream
* **Items in collection:** Mysterious Maelstrom, Tassel of Many Families, Tiger Hat, Jade Beads, Gaiwan with Live Painting
* **Assembled item:** Flaming Branch

#### Collectable 2. Tassel of Many Families

Many villagers were related to each other, and this custom was born here.
The youngest member of a family collected threads from their relatives, and the oldest members wove the charm using them.
The charm was given to whoever left the family in search of their own path, so the ancestors could protect them wherever they went.
This item isn’t related to the cataclysm or the drying up of the spring. But it may belong to whoever caused all this.

#### Collectable 5. Gaiwan with Live Painting

I’ve only heard the stories... But how can the Spring’s depletion be connected with this ancient legend?

#### Assemble the collection: Flaming Branch (Collection: In the Water Stream)

Look, particles of soot from all around are reaching toward the peach tree. It’s flared up in the form of the chaos demon!

 **Letter:** | Chaos and order, yin and yang - all energies must be in balance, bringing each other to equilibrium.
Thus, harmony is born in the world.
 **Detective:** |     It sounds too philosophical to me. Although I’m generally familiar with the concept of yin and yang, how can they be clues?
I’m used to working with material evidence and facts. Let’s figure out where Mo came from and what weaknesses he may have.

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 2

### Find out how Mo came to be.

* **Collection name:** Legend of Master Fu
* **Items in collection:** Lunar Ruan, Hulusi Flute, Fu’s Soul Container, Disharmony Symbol, Master’s Stone Figurine
* **Assembled item:** Mo’s Image

#### Collectable 5. Master’s Stone Figurine

 **Detective:** |     Thank you for the morality tale, but I still don’t understand how it’s connected with the drying up of the spring.
 **Monk:** |     Just a legend? You haven’t heard the ending yet. Be patient and you will be rewarded.

#### Assemble the collection: Mo’s Image (Collection: Legend of Master Fu)

 **Letter:** | THE LEGEND OF THE TIGER AND MO

 **Detective:** |     Great! If the Tiger easily defeated Mo, let’s call him one more time.
 **Monk:** |     It’s impossible. The Tiger’s Spring is a bridge between worlds. Mo himself is draining it so that the guardian can’t come to the rescue.
But the Tiger is one of the five guardians. Perhaps if we turn to the other spirits, one of them will respond to our call.

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 3

### Ask the guardians for help.

* **Collection name:** Guardians of the Earth
* **Items in collection:** Bronze Bottle of the Ox, Feather Amulet, Golden Symbol, Rainwater Vessel, Bell of the Immortals
* **Assembled item:** Message of the Spirits

#### Collectable 1. Bronze Bottle of the Ox

The sacred grove has been burned down! Now the Ox spirit has lost touch with this world. We’ll have to do without his help.

#### Collectable 2. Feather Amulet

Do you think this is a bad sign? Hmm, my intuition tells me that you’re probably right.

#### Assemble the collection: Message of the Spirits (Collection: Guardians of the Earth)

Look, a box with a scroll has appeared in the circle of artifacts. It’s the guardians’ answer! Read it!

Clouds are hanging over the earth, and we, the guardians, are unable to protect it. Mo the Chaos Bringer has prevented us from coming to your aid by destroying our sacred altars.
 **Mei:** |     Sometimes, you don’t need blades to defeat an enemy. I will prove to the guardians of the earth that I’m worthy of their blessing!

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 4

### Receive the blessing.

* **Collection name:** Great Virtues
* **Items in collection:** Basket of Lotus Buds, Nuo’s Shoes, Pyramid of Balance, Bee Amulet, Pine Brush Glass
* **Assembled item:** Goldfish

#### Assemble the collection: Goldfish (Collection: Great Virtues)

Look, a goldfish has appeared in the Tiger’s Spring. It’s a sign!

 **Monk:** |     The princess needs a powerful weapon to fight Mo. She’s meditating next to the spring. Maybe the spirits have already given her a clue.

## Stages of Investigations - Stage 5

### Defeat Mo.

* **Collection name:** Singing Elements
* **Items in collection:** Bowl of Fire, Wooden Drum, Xylophone Figurines, Bells of Balance, Xun Clay Flute
* **Assembled item:** Song of the Elements

#### Collectable 5. Xun Clay Flute

 **Yui:** |     Chaos rules over those who don’t accept help. I know this better than anyone. We will fight the demon together.
Music combines different notes into a harmonious tune. You and I are different too, but we’ll unite in this battle!

#### Assemble the collection: Song of the Elements (Collection: Singing Elements)

 **Letter:** | A LEGEND ABOUT THE SISTERS WHO DEFEATED MO

Fearless princesses Mei and Yui went up against an invisible enemy - the demon Mo, the Chaos Bringer. Only Mei received the blessing of the guardians, but Yui did not abandon her sister in the face of danger. Together, they defeated the demon, and from that moment, they were called the guardians of the earth along with the Great Spirits.
