**Misty Mountain Antique Shop**

During the war years, countless antiques were plundered by invaders and lost in the chaos of conflict. Years later, a lead points to Misty Mountain—a remote, politically turbulent region controlled by various factions. (The discovery of a large number of antiques from other countries has prompted the interim government to issue a decree allowing free exploration and trade of antiques in order to attract capital to fund its military.)

Your predecessor, an experienced investigator, mysteriously disappeared shortly after arriving here.

Now, it's your turn.

To complete the mission safely, you must pose as an ordinary antique dealer. On the surface, you need to run your shop well:

🏺 Underground Excavation: Grab your shovel and dig for truths and treasures buried by history and dust.

🔍 Flea Market Bargains: Amid the chaotic street stalls, use your knowledge and sharp eye to spot genuine treasures among countless fakes.

📦 Warehouse Auctions: Keep watch over forgotten warehouse auctions and secure precious relics through competitive bidding.

Your organization will send operatives disguised as customers, purchasing the antiques you find through normal business transactions to return them to where they rightfully belong.

All seems calm, but the fog runs deep. Why do genuine pieces in your shop attract mysterious figures? What secret did your predecessor uncover in Misty Mountain? And why have these plundered antiques gathered here?

Beneath the thick mist of Misty Mountain, the answers you seek are waiting to be unearthed.
