Soul of Mountain House
Once you have freed the King, he will unlock the prison so that you can speak to Nome the snail and get the Silver Stone from Nome. This will allow you to travel to Dr. Leo's Laboratory.
Also, Emblem E can be acquired in the following manner. Use the Dream Rod on the sleeping mushroom (in prison, although the door to its cell is always open) and step on the cleared lair there. Then return to the place you saw in mushroom's dream (Underground lake, Lune) and free the snail from the monster lair to the left of the spot where the mushroom was in the dream. Notice that the snail will appear in a room that seems there is no way in or out of that room. Back in town, press down against the rock just left of the light in the wall of that room to find a hidden path. [screenshot to be added later] The snail will give you Emblem E when you speak with it.
