Vidius: After the Balaur invasion, I lost my home and all my comrades. I've been wandering for years just to survive... but I've had enough.
Vidius: All I want now is to settle down, start a family, and live a normal life. So I went to the Notos Legion to see if they had any paid work.
Vidius: They offered me a job collecting biological samples and Guardite specimens from the Contaminated Sanctum.
Vidius: I managed to gather the samples, but the Guardites were just too much... They're strong and tough. I couldn't handle them on my own.
Vidius: Do you think you could help me out? If you can collect the Guardite samples, I'll handle the rest.
Vidius: What? You'll really help me out? Honestly, I didn't expect that. You're a good egg.
Vidius: The Contaminated Guardites are up there. Watch out.

Vidius: You're back! These are the Contaminated Guardite samples, right? Haha, this wraps it up.
Vidius: Now I just need to get paid and decide where to head next. I'm thinking Pamos Farm. I hear it's a place even a drifter like me can settle down.
Vidius: I think I'll head there soon. If you ever swing by Pamos Farm, be sure to look me up.
Vidius: By then, maybe I'll even have a wife and kids. I'll treat you to a warm meal, so don't forget to visit.
When it is done
