Vicente Rio: Musician. Enhancer. Heir.

SPOILER WARNING. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I remembered the hint of starting the quest in order to get the Veteran Stance of Vicente Rio: Serenade. First, speak to the girl at the Orchard Street Market at H9 of Auch. Rio seems to have fallen in love with the girl, so he tries to win her heart.

Looks like Rio had the idea of purchasing an Avocado Sandwich and letting the girl share it with him. He was successful and right after that, he played an incomplete Serenade for her. He promised that he'll finish it and let his crush be the first to hear it. However, the girl kept refusing his advances because she claims her father doesn't want her to be around boys.

After those attempts, an old man named Federigo was looking for Rio. Talking to him reveals a revelation on who our Minstrel is: the son of the founder of the Leonardo Expresso service! It seems that one of the five pieces of Ferruccio's Legacy has been tracked in the New World. Otite is believed as one of the five pieces iof Ferruccio's Legacy (that's Federigo's assumption). Also, Otite Research gave birth to the Leonardo Expresso service and the Warp Portal technology. Progess had its price, as some people involved in this situation suffered side effects of being exposed to Otite.

Vicente Rio has a little brother by the name of Samuel, who succumbed to illness because of the Ottie research. One day, a handsome, young man named Montoro Viscount paid a visit. Montoro promised that he would heal Samuel but he just delayed the process. As a turn for the worse, Sir Lyndon had Leonardo arrested and Leonardo's research facility was destroyed with all the documents burned. Too bad he passed away after some time.

However, we still got the chance to take a look in this research facility. Federigo gave us a number combination that would open the facility. Rio headed over to the location where the facility was located. After using the correct code provided by Fedrigo, he was welcomed by hired Pegadilla Mercenaries. It was a gruelling fight but Rio was sided with Marvin and Sarbina. Once the lesser cronies of the group was defeated, Rio interrogated the mercenary group leader. It seems that the leader will not reveal any information as a policy of the Pegadilla Mercenary and regrets that he'll not be paid for this skirmish.

Heading back to Federigo proves the story and Rio now has a goal in the New World: to avenge his father for all the misfortunes that laid on him. The Leonardo Expresso will support in anyway possible. Federigo gave Rio the Serenade Stance Book. When Rio approached his crush, she amazed that he knows the Serenade Stance. However, Rio was not going to divulge the Serenade just to anyone. If anyone else wants to learn this ability, that person would have to approach Rio to learn it!

Before I had to go all of this, I decided to celebrate at Bahia at the Battle Arena and guess what came out:


Level 121 Giant Spider. Like a stood a chance...

It wasn't a win, alright. I got owned by this huge monster. Well, I hope the Battle Arena would be more merciful around next time... :D
