Dialogue[]

Quest Description

Moonlight paves your way, guiding you to Nod-Krai, an "elysium" for adventurers and wanderers alike...
(Approach Ineffa)
Media:vo nkaq001 1 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Hey, Ineffa! Sorry to keep you waiting!
Media:vo nkaq001 1 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: That is perfectly alright. My data indicates clear skies in the coming days. Current conditions for maritime travel: optimal. I will be ready whenever you are.
Let's get this show on the whale-road.
Media:vo nkaq001 1 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: But... are we really gonna set off without telling anyone again?
Isn't that just how we roll?
When we're not being tailed by star Fontainian reporters, that is...
Media:vo nkaq001 1 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Hehe, funny you mention it, you'll never guess who Paimon saw on the way o—
Media:vo nkaq001 1 mualani 01.ogg Mualani: Hey! You didn't seriously think we'd let you leave without a farewell party, did you? ... No chance!
Media:vo nkaq001 1 kachina 01.ogg Kachina: Yeah, c'mon, (‍Traveler‍)! We've already made all the preparations.
Media:vo nkaq001 1 ajaw 01.ogg Ajaw: And most importantly... How dare you try and slip away without first paying your respects to the Almighty Dragonlord!
Caught red-handed, again...
Media:vo nkaq001 1 kinich 01.ogg Kinich: A little bird told us you'd soon be leaving for Nod-Krai, so we asked Paimon to give us a heads-up before the date of your departure.
...So it was you.
Media:vo nkaq001 1 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Hehe, you sure it's not time to think about changing that little habit of ours?
Media:vo nkaq001 1 mualani 02.ogg Mualani: Don't worry, we won't keep you long. Besides, everyone's there already! Chasca, Iansan, Ororon... even the Pyro Archon herself!
Media:vo nkaq001 1 kachina 02.ogg Kachina: You're invited too, Ineffa! Xilonen has a special gift for you, hehe.
Can't refuse an invitation like that...
How about you, Ineffa?
Media:vo nkaq001 1 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: Accompaniment request accepted. Xilonen demonstrates excellent massage technique. My impression of her is exceedingly positive.
Media:vo nkaq001 1 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Wait... so robots like massages too? Or is it just that Xilonen really knows how you're wired...?
Media:vo nkaq001 1 kinich 02.ogg Kinich: Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Let's head to the venue.
Media:vo nkaq001 1 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Woohoo, party time!
In a corner unnoticed by all, a pair of eyes observes from the shadows...
Media:vo nkaq001 1 aarto 01.ogg ???: ...
(Cut to the mysterious man, kneeling in front of a shadowy figure in a corner of Nasha Town)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 marionette 01.ogg ???: Mm? Spit it out, then.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 aarto 01a.ogg ???: ...They've set off.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 marionette 02.ogg ???: Heh... Just as my calculations projected.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 marionette 03.ogg ???: About time I met this "variable" in person.
(The scene transitions to Ineffa, Paimon, and the Traveler aboard a small boat)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: ...You know, every time we head to a new nation, there's always a point where it suddenly dawns on Paimon: "This is it — the next chapter of our adventure has begun."
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: This time, it was the moment she realized she'd just polished off the very last of her Saurus Crackers. Should've stocked up better at the farewell party...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: In other words, Paimon has marked the geographic coordinates from two minutes and forty seconds ago as the boundary between Natlan and Nod-Krai. This deviates somewhat from the official coordinates stored in my database.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Uhh, Paimon meant more in terms of how it felt on a psychological level... Anyway, what about you, (‍Traveler‍)? When did it really sink in for you?
When I could no longer see qucusaurs soaring through the sky...
When I could no longer sense the flow of phlogiston...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Huh, that actually kinda makes sense...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: What about you, Ineffa? Come to think of it, maybe we should be asking the other way round... So, when you came over to Natlan, what was the moment you felt like you'd left Nod-Krai?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: Hmm. In that case, probably when my sensors could no longer detect the moon's power.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: The moon? You mean... that one we can all see in the sky...?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: Negative, I was referring to... Ah, here we are. Paimon, (‍Traveler‍), we have arrived in Nod-Krai.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Oh wow!
(A Dualblaze Longplume Ibis takes flight from the roof of the boat)
(A Frostfin Whale leaps out of the water as the camera zooms in on the docks)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: Paimon, (‍Traveler‍), welcome to Nod-Krai.
(The camera flies through Nasha Town, showing snippets of notable characters)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: That must be Nasha Town up ahead! That's the place you were telling us about on the way over, right?
(As the trio step onto solid ground from the pier, the Traveler suddenly notices something about the earth.)
(‍Traveler‍): (...Huh?)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: That is correct, Paimon. It is also the most bustling commercial hub in all of Nod-Krai.
(‍Traveler‍): (...! Could this really be...?)
(The Traveler kneels down to examine the earth and remembers something)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: Oooh! Hehe, sounds like the perfect place to start trying out all the local specialties...
(Paimon and Ineffa stop and noticing the Traveler isn't keeping up, walk back to them.)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Huh? Is something up, (‍Traveler‍)?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 hero 01.ogg Media:vo nkaq001 2 heroine 01.ogg (‍Traveler‍): Paimon...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 hero 02.ogg Media:vo nkaq001 2 heroine 02.ogg (‍Traveler‍): This is where our spaceship landed when (‍Lumine‍/Aether‍) and I first arrived in Teyvat...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Huh!?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: A—Are you sure? But... how come you've never mentioned that before? Seems pretty important to Paimon!
Media:vo nkaq001 2 hero 03.ogg Media:vo nkaq001 2 heroine 03.ogg (‍Traveler‍): Well, because... those memories are really hazy. All I remember is (‍Lumine‍/Aether‍) waking me up, and us leaving the ship...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 hero 04.ogg Media:vo nkaq001 2 heroine 04.ogg (‍Traveler‍): But just now, setting foot on this land... I felt something... The kind of power I sensed in those moments...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Are you referring to kuuvahki?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Kuuvah-what now!?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: The locals refer to it as "kuuvahki." It is a unique elemental force found only in Nod-Krai — or rather, a pure, primordial form of elemental energy.
A bit like phlogiston?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 08.ogg Ineffa: That is correct. Another similar concept I have found in my database is: "the Primordial Sea."
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 09.ogg Ineffa: Legend has it that long, long ago, the moon that shines in the sky above us once rose from the land of Nod-Krai.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 10.ogg Ineffa: Modern geological surveys and meteorite studies conducted in the region have since supported this claim.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: So, when you mentioned being able to detect the moon's power earlier... You were referring to "kuuvahki"?
(‍Traveler‍): (It certainly feels similar to phlogiston, yet also somehow... different. Maybe they both belong to the "Light Realm" that the Lord of the Night mentioned...)
(‍Traveler‍): (Still, this feeling... There's no doubt about it — it's the same power I felt the first time I set foot in Teyvat...)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 15.ogg Paimon: Wait, (‍Traveler‍)!, [sic] you're saying... we might actually find your spaceship here? Do you still remember where it landed?
I think it was... near a beach?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 11.ogg Ineffa: Nod-Krai is surrounded by the ocean — in other words, it could have been anywhere along its coastline.
There was also... a mountain?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 12.ogg Ineffa: Mm... Negative. Description still lacks sufficient detail to pinpoint target location.
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 16.ogg Paimon: Hey, it's okay if you can't remember everything right away. After all, it's been a really long time...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 17.ogg Paimon: Let's just do what we've always done... and keep searching as we explore! Besides, what have you got to fear with your sidekick Paimon still here?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 13.ogg Ineffa: I'd be more than happy to help you out as well.
Thank you both...
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 18.ogg Paimon: Our pleasure! Anyway, just knowing that your spaceship's here in Nod-Krai surely counts as a big step forward, huh?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 ineffa 14.ogg Ineffa: Like we've crossed another "boundary"?
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 19.ogg Paimon: Paimon couldn't have put it better herself. You sure are a quick learner, Ineffa!
(‍Traveler‍): (If we can find our spaceship, maybe the flight logs could tell us something...)
(‍Traveler‍): (At last, a chance to get to the bottom of all this... The truth must be out there somewhere, buried in this land.)
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 20.ogg Paimon: Ahem! Well, as the best guide in the whole of Teyvat, Paimon hereby does solemnly declare:
Media:vo nkaq001 2 paimon 21.ogg Paimon: Nod-Krai, here we come!
(Approach the marked area)
(Nearby, a white Seelie-like creature glides past)
Media:vo nkaq001 3 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: It just occurred to Paimon — if we were looking to put out a "Missing Spaceship" commission or to learn more about Nod-Krai, wouldn't it make sense to drop by the Adventurers' Guild?
Media:vo nkaq001 3 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: The Guild is located in Nasha Town. Simply follow this road and you'll reach it.
(Paimon spots the Seelie-like creature)
Media:vo nkaq001 3 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Eh? What in Teyvat is that?
Media:vo nkaq001 3 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Looks kinda like a Seelie, floating around in the air like that...
Media:vo nkaq001 3 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: That is a kuuhenki, a species unique to the land of Nod-Krai.
Media:vo nkaq001 3 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: A kuuhenki? Does she have something to do with the moon, too?
Media:vo nkaq001 3 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: Indeed, it does. According to the Frostmoon Scions, the indigenous inhabitants of this land, the kuuhenki are said to be familiars of the Moon Goddess, leading those who walk in the moonlight's glow to things of great importance.
Media:vo nkaq001 3 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: The Moon Goddess? Don't all people here worship the Tsaritsa...?
Media:vo nkaq001 3 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: Although Nod-Krai lies on Snezhnaya's border regions, the people here have held their own unique beliefs since time immemorial. As I mentioned, everything in this land shares a deep connection with the moon in the sky above.
Media:vo nkaq001 3 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: The beliefs of the Frostmoon Scions seem to date back to the civilization of the angels. According to the documents in my database, even the Seven Archons did not exist at that time.
Media:vo nkaq001 3 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Wow... So the origin of their beliefs goes back even further than the Archon War?
Media:vo nkaq001 3 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Correct. At some point, you may come across some statues of their goddess — the Frostmoon Scions carved these as well.
Media:vo nkaq001 3 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Hey, looks like she's floating away!
Media:vo nkaq001 3 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: I suggest you follow her. The probability of an ordinary person encountering a kuuhenki lies in the single digits. Many here consider them heralds of good fortune.
(Open the chest)
Media:vo nkaq001 4 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Is this... a travel guide? Huh, it actually led us to something useful.
Welcome to Nasha Town

Enthusiastic Researchers
For reasons unknown, Fontaine Research Institute researcher Liouba has drifted into Nasha Town and started conducting alarmingly abstract experiments... But for those intrepid enough to lend her a hand with her studies, you might just stumble upon rewards just as unorthodox as her methods!
Media:vo nkaq001 4 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Are there any particular points of interest?
Media:vo nkaq001 4 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: It all looks pretty interesting to Paimon! If we have time, she'd love to see... pretty much everything...
Media:vo nkaq001 4 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: Recalibrating route...
Media:vo nkaq001 4 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: If we keep following the current path, we will arrive at an area of scenic beauty. From there, we will be able to identify both the Adventurers' Guild and several must-visit specialty stores.
Media:vo nkaq001 4 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Yikes... Why is Paimon suddenly getting the feeling that, if she doesn't step it up soon, Ineffa's gonna put her out of a job...
(Obtain Welcome to Nasha Town! Welcome to Nasha Town!)

(Approach the marked location)
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Wow, Nasha Town actually looks pretty big from here! Feels a bit different than Paimon imagined, though...
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Which aspects in particular deviated from your expectations?
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Well... Paimon keeps hearing people describe Nod-Krai as an "adventurers' paradise," so she kinda thought it'd be a bit more... picture-perfect, somehow?
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: According to legend, there was indeed an era of peace in Nod-Krai's past — the age of the Fae.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: Tales of those ancient heroes are still told today. One of the most well-known is that of the Lantern Fae.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: This individual performed many good deeds for Nod-Krai. The present-day Lightkeepers' nightly lantern patrols are, in part, a tribute to their memory. But then, one day...
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Wh—What happened...?
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: ...There came a devastating Abyssal calamity that swept across Nod-Krai, and for a time, it was left desolate.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Heartbroken by what had become of the land they had so cherished, that Fae extinguished their light, just as the Abyss had extinguished all hope.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: Nowadays, the "paradise" people speak of is more of an aspiration — or an irony, perhaps.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: An irony...?
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 08.ogg Ineffa: Today, no official authority governs Nod-Krai. In theory, at least, it is somewhere a person can do whatever they wish, and become whoever they want to be.
So it's a lawless paradise.
So it's a paradise of freedom.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 09.ogg Ineffa: The Adventurers' Guild is just over there, in Nasha Town's central plaza, and The Flagship Tavern is over that way.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Hey, what's that building over there? Y'know, the biggest, tallest one?
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 10.ogg Ineffa: That is Aino's "Boom and Blast Kuuvahki Energy Cannon." It gets activated when the Wild Hunt threat level outside Nasha Town reaches a certain threshold.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 11.ogg Ineffa: But according to the scan I just ran, the Energy Cannon appears to be malfunctioning... likely due to a recent discharge.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: The Wild Hunt... Isn't that the Abyssal calamity you mentioned that's specific to Nod-Krai?
Does it pose a great threat to the people living here?
Does it happen often?
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 12.ogg Ineffa: It is a phenomenon that has been occurring for several centuries now, yet the time and location of Wild Hunt attacks are seemingly random. At first, it was more of an old wives' tale that adults used to scare children.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 13.ogg Ineffa: "If you don't start behaving, kid, some night, the Wild Hunt's gonna come for you. Listen... Do you hear that? That weeping in the fog... Those are the cries of a young woman being dragged away."
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Y—You're saying people actually hear things like that?
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 14.ogg Ineffa: I have not witnessed enough Wild Hunt attacks to give a statistically sound answer.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 15.ogg Ineffa: But the oldest legends say that all people saw was the ghostly shadow of a woman in the mist. It wasn't until later that it became a full-blown calamity, Abyssal monsters and all.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: When you put it like that, Paimon's really gotta hand it to Aino... Not only did she repair you, but she's even built a giant cannon to keep the Wild Hunt at bay!
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 16.ogg Ineffa: Absolutely. Aino is very impressive indeed.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 ineffa 17.ogg Ineffa: Anyway, according to my schedule, it is time I took you over to The Flagship.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: Oh, sure! After all, we shouldn't keep Varka waiting. Though... Paimon's not sure if he'll actually show up at the bar this early.
Have faith in the people of Mondstadt, Paimon.
As far as they're concerned, any o'clock is bar o'clock.
Media:vo nkaq001 5 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Heh. You're right about that...
(Approach the Adventurers' Guild, optional)
Media:vo nkaq001 6 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Huh? Isn't this the Adventurers' Guild? Why isn't anyone here?
Media:vo nkaq001 6 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Does that mean the Katheryne in Nod-Krai actually gets to clock out...?
Media:vo nkaq001 6 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Anyway, let's come back later.
(Enter The Flagship)
Media:vo nkaq001 7 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Here we are, The Flagship.
Media:vo nkaq001 7 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Varka told us to meet him here in his letter, right? Let's see... Varka! Varka...!
Media:vo nkaq001 7 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: ...No matches identified.
Media:vo nkaq001 7 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Huh, so he isn't here after all? Guess we never did actually say we'd be arriving today.
Media:vo nkaq001 7 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Hey, why don't we go ask the owner? If what they say is true, Varka's drinking prowess must have left quite the impression...
(Approach Demyan)
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 01.ogg Demyan: Eh? Well, well, if it isn't the ineffable Ineffa!
Media:vo nkaq001 8 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Hello there, Demyan.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: You know each other?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 02.ogg Demyan: Of course! Ineffa's a regular here at The Flagship.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: So robots are into booze too?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: Not at all. The energy conversion efficiency of alcoholic drinks is very low, and most of them are full of impurities. Still, I can affirm that your Berries and Fried Meat deserve a solid 9.12/10. It has Aino's approval, too.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 03.ogg Demyan: Funny that you should mention that — while you were away in Natlan, Varka would come in here every day to pick up a serving of Berries and Fried Meat for Aino.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Aww, he must have been worried sick that she wasn't eating properly on account of being so hung up about Ineffa being gone...
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 04.ogg Demyan: Uh... Actually, it's 'cause Varka found out that Aino went wild after Ineffa left, gorging herself on snacks she normally couldn't get her hands on. So it was more... worry that she wasn't getting a balanced diet.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 05.ogg Demyan: Ahaha... Think I might've just put my foot in it. Anyway, since you're back from Natlan, these two must be the ones Varka mentioned... (‍Traveler‍) and Paimon, yes?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Yup, that's us!
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: So, from the sounds of it, you must be a close friend of Varka's too?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 06.ogg Demyan: Varka? Ha-ha, goes without saying! After all, he's the only one around here who's ever managed to stay standing after ten rounds of the Roulette Special!
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Paimon can't believe he's made such a name for himself, though guess it's hardly surprising how...
Do you know where he is now?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 07.ogg Demyan: Right now... Hmm... Must be somewhere near Amsvartnir. That's... quite far from here.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Huh? Where's that?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 08.ogg Demyan: It's a lake in the northern part of Nod-Krai. Word reached him of trouble brewing around those parts, so he took his knights to check it out.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Oh... So we missed him?
Typical Mondstadter, coming and going like the wind...
Do you think he needs our help?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 09.ogg Demyan: Haha... Varka knew you'd say that, so he specifically told me to make sure you stayed here and enjoyed yourselves. He sends his assurances that everything's under control.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: Well, if he's that confident, guess our only option is to accept. Anyway, it's not like there's any special cause for concern — he is the Grand Master, after all.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 10.ogg Demyan: Exactly. Plus, not only has he booked you into our finest room, he's paid for it in advance too.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Whoa, that's so generous of him! Hehe. We might not have met yet, but Paimon's got a feeling that we'll get along with Varka like a house on fire...
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 11.ogg Demyan: Oh, and by the way, he also asked me to serve up a portion of Berries and Fried Meat for Ineffa. That was prepaid as well.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: Thank you.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 demyan 12.ogg Demyan: No, thank you. I'm the one who should be grateful for your business.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: (‍Traveler‍), Paimon, why don't you go ahead and drop off your luggage? I can use this time to go pick up some components that Aino asked me to bring back.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Sure thing! Besides, now that we've got ourselves a map, once we're done unpacking, we might as well go for a stroll ourselves! Why don't we meet up again later?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Oh, so you no longer require navigational assistance?
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: No worries, we should be fine! We've got a rough idea of our way round town, so Paimon's reasonably confident we shouldn't get too lost...
Media:vo nkaq001 8 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: Thank you. This translates into an approximate time saving of 30%, meaning I will be able to see Aino about 45 minutes earlier than previously projected.
Media:vo nkaq001 8 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Oh right, you must miss her a lot too. In that case, we'd better get a move on!
(Enter the guest room)
Media:vo nkaq001 9 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Hehe, feels pretty nice having someone sort out our food and lodging for us, huh?
Media:vo nkaq001 9 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: But is this really The Flagship's best room? It's pretty big, make no mistake — but it looks a little... worn out, right? Though, to be perfectly honest, that feels right at home with everything else we've seen of Nasha Town...
A town built among ruins...
Forsaken in the wake of a calamity...
Media:vo nkaq001 9 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: You mean it's got something to do with Nod-Krai's history? That makes sense... but what exactly was this calamity?
(After busying themselves with examining the room and settling in, the two exit back into the hallway)
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Should we try the Berries and Fried Meat too? Paimon's getting hungrier and hungrier every time someone mentions it!
(Walking back down the hallway, they don't notice a tall man standing there, and Paimon floats into his back)
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Ah, oooh! Sorry about that, Paimon wasn't watching where she was going!
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 01.ogg ???: Please, there's no need to apologize. If anything, I'm the one who should be sorry — clearly, I shouldn't have gotten lost in my thoughts in the middle of a hallway.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Wait a sec... Are you staying in the room next to ours?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 02.ogg Flins: Ah, quite the perceptive one, I see. First things first, allow me to introduce myself: My name is Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins. But please, just call me Flins.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Whoa, that's... an impressively long name, for sure!
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 03.ogg Flins: Oh, is that so? Names like mine ought to have been fairly common in Snezhnaya, at least in the past. Would I be correct, then, to assume that the two of you are travelers in this land?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Yep, you sure would be! Paimon is Paimon, and this is (‍Traveler‍). We've been to a bunch of nations already, but we only just arrived in Nod-Krai today.
Hello.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 04.ogg Flins: What a rare honor it is to meet such worldly travelers.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Are you here for travel too?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 05.ogg Flins: Ah, if only I had the time to spare. No, I'm just staying the night.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Oh? So you're here for business?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 06.ogg Flins: That's certainly one way to put it. I'm a Ratnik of Nod-Krai, normally stationed near the burial grounds to the north. My sole cause for being here today was to repair this lantern of mine.
(‍Traveler‍): (...)
(‍Traveler‍): (There's something off about that lantern...)
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: B—Burial g—g—grounds?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 07.ogg Flins: Your surprise is entirely understandable. Most people cannot even begin to fathom the idea of a life surrounded by tombstones and decay.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 08.ogg Flins: But if you've heard of the calamitous abomination that is the Wild Hunt, you'll know that in their wake, they bring a host of souls tainted by Abyssal filth. That, then, is why we are stationed by the burial grounds — to hold the line where it is most vulnerable.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: Ohhh, so it's all about fighting against the Abyss... Sounds like a tough job.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 09.ogg Flins: I thank you for your concern. But in truth, I've long since grown used to it — in fact, I like to think it rather suits me. If anything, I'd say I prefer the peace and quiet of a graveyard to the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Paimon sort of gets it now, but even so, she's still pretty sure she could never get used to living in a graveyard herself... For one thing, she'd be too scared to fall asleep at night!
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 10.ogg Flins: Hahaha... Oh, I assure you, there's no need to worry on that account. The kind of ghosts you find in cemeteries aren't too big on talking — but even when they do, they're usually far more discreet than the living.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Eh...?
Eh...?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 11.ogg Flins: Well, would you look at that? Who'd have thought we'd end up chatting this long. Must have a lot in common, huh?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 12.ogg Flins: Forgive me, but I must excuse myself, for the time of my appointment draws near. And in terms I'm sure you'll understand, a lanternless Ratnik is like a mapless traveler — a serious conundrum indeed.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Oh, sure! In that case, you go right ahead. We won't keep you any longer!
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 13.ogg Flins: Not at all. Should the opportunity present itself, I'd gladly continue our conversation another time.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 14.ogg Flins: You're always welcome to come visit my grave— Er, I mean, the grave I stand watch over. Your visit would bring much-needed light to that place of final rest.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Uh... Right... Well, uhh... If we get the chance...
Media:vo nkaq001 10 flins 15.ogg Flins: Then allow me to wish you a traditional Ratnik's farewell: See you by the graveside.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: Uhhh... Jeez, what a weirdo.
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 15.ogg Paimon: Not to badmouth him and all — in fact, he seemed pretty cultured. But at the same time... kinda spooky? Must be all that time he's spent around graveyards...
Did you notice anything strange about his lantern?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 16.ogg Paimon: His lantern? Uhh... no, not really? You mean, 'cause it was broken?
Like there was something inside...
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 17.ogg Paimon: Huh. Guess you've always had a nose for stuff like this... If you're worried, you can always ask him the next time we cross paths.
Sure thing. Guess that'll be... by the graveside?
Media:vo nkaq001 10 paimon 18.ogg Paimon: Hey, don't you start spouting all that weird stuff too!
(Leave The Flagship)
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Ah! Paimon almost forgot something super important!
Mm? Spit it out, then.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Weren't we gonna go try out the Berries and Fried Meat?
Must have left that craving by the graveside...
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: But now, heading all the way back to The Flagship feels like such a waste...
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 01.ogg ???: Please, accept today's boon. Come night or day, may the blessings of the Moon Goddess shine down upon you.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Huh? What's going on over there?
Looks like they're handing out food.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Wait, free food!? Wow, the people here are so nice!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Quick, let's grab some too! Paimon's super curious what their food tastes like.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 02.ogg ???: Moonlight illuminates the path before you, travelers from afar.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Huh? How'd you know we were travelers?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 03.ogg ???: Just now were asong the birds in the sky, singing of your wanderings. You are no ordinary guests, it seems.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: The birds in the... what now?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 04.ogg ???: Forgive me, I should not have laid the words of others out as a welcome mat for our very first meeting. You, too, must be wondering who I am.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 05.ogg Lauma: I am Lauma, Moonchanter of the Frostmoon Scions. Please, as do our followers and other passersby, accept today's boon.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: We'd be delighted to oblige! Paimon's name is Paimon, and this here is (‍Traveler‍). Thank you so much for sharing your yummy food with us — we'll take one each.
You have our sincere gratitude.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 06.ogg Lauma: Think nothing of it. These fruits were the finest we found, delicacies gathered in the wake of the morning dew. It is my hope that partaking of them may lift your spirits to heights anew.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: The finest you found? Wow, that sure is kind of you, but... wouldn't you want to keep those for yourselves?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 07.ogg Lauma: Ha... "The first fruit of the harvest must be placed upon the Moonlight Altar — not as an offering to the gods, but as a spark for lost hunters. For it is the blade of the starving that darkness most easily corrupts."
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 08.ogg Lauma: As perhaps you have already heard, we Frostmoon Scions revere and worship the Moon Goddess. We believe that together, virtue and compassion are the shining light that will lead us all out of the long, dark night.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 09.ogg Lauma: And now, with tides of haughty Fatui swarming into Nod-Krai, driven by greed, and greed alone... More than ever before, we must all unite under the banner of virtue.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 ognjen 01.ogg Ognjen: Ha, look who it is again — those unsufferably "kind-hearted" Frostmoon Scions. Got enough for us, too?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 oiva 01.ogg Oiva: That's right, two servings each! We're starving over here!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 vilemina 01.ogg Vilemina: The Fatui... After what you've been doing to our sacred statues, how dare you even show your faces...
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 10.ogg Lauma: Vilemina, bestow today's boon upon our guests.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 ognjen 02.ogg Ognjen: You hear that? No slacking, now. We'll have the very best you've got.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 vilemina 02.ogg Vilemina: But... My Lady, they—
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 11.ogg Lauma: Please, you two, accept this meal. But remember this: "Kindness is the first lantern left to guide those who stumble in ignorance."
Media:vo nkaq001 11 oiva 02.ogg Oiva: Come again?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 12.ogg Lauma: Let me finish. "But should they still refuse to follow the moonlit path, then by our frosted blades shall we show them its shadow."
Media:vo nkaq001 11 ognjen 03.ogg Ognjen: ...You!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 oiva 03.ogg Oiva: Hey... Look who it is.
(The camera swings over to the frowning Traveler, who silently folds their arms across their chest)
Media:vo nkaq001 11 ognjen 04.ogg Ognjen: Tch, whatever. Just you wait — we'll be coming for you next.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 ognjen 05.ogg Ognjen: ...Huh? Where's the meat? Who wants to eat this garbage?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Ugh, those stooges really are the worst.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 vilemina 03.ogg Vilemina: Hmph... Ever since they came to Nod-Krai with all their weird equipment and built that so-called "Experimental Design Bureau," our lives have been turned completely upside down!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 13.ogg Lauma: Judging from how they reacted just now... it seems the Fatui already know who you are, (‍Traveler‍).
Old grudges die hard...
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Well, we have gotten in their way in pretty much every nation we've visited, so we're probably at the top of their blacklist by now.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 14.ogg Lauma: I see... then on behalf of the Frostmoon Scions, I thank you for the goodwill you have shown us.
Eh? Why thank me?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 15.ogg Lauma: Heh... Because, if they had gotten ahead of themselves just now, I'm sure you would have stepped in to help.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 16.ogg Lauma: Just as the birds and beasts put it, your arrival heralds joy to us all. Besides, for a weary traveler far from home, what better respite than to bathe in the moonlight?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 17.ogg Lauma: You will always be welcome at the Frostmoon Enclave, the place we call our home.
Thanks for your kind invitation.
We'll swing by when we get a chance.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 lauma 18.ogg Lauma: May we meet again in the moon's gentle glow.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Mmm, these are delicious! So refreshingly fresh... Those two Fatui wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and bit them on the shoulder.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: Looks like Ineffa isn't done with her shopping yet, and the Adventurers' Guild is still empty. Where should we head next?
Why don't we follow the map in the travel guide?
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 15.ogg Paimon: Good idea! Wouldn't wanna let that kuuhenki down, after all.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 16.ogg Paimon: Let's see... Okay! Paimon's got our route all figured out, so all that's left to say is... Don't fall behind!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 17.ogg Paimon: This is "Nuts 'N' Nuts"! It's mostly a fruit shop, but there's a Crafting Bench too!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 18.ogg Paimon: This is the "Speranza", one of the travel guide's recommended restaurants. All the waiters here are kids!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 19.ogg Paimon: This is the "Vesnici Proleca Greenhouse"! Apparently, their flowers are all made of metal, so they'll never wilt away!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 20.ogg Paimon: And this is the "Rossum Workshop"! If you ever need a weapon made, this is the place to go!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 21.ogg Paimon: And over here, they've got a super tall observation deck! Whoa, take a look at that! You can see really far out into the distance.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 22.ogg Paimon: That way's north, and that looks like... something built by the Fatui? And then, over there to the west... Ah, that must be the place Lauma mentioned, where the Frostmoon Scions live.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 23.ogg Paimon: Hehe, so... Whaddya think? Even if Ineffa kinda stole her limelight earlier, this just goes to prove that Paimon's own tour guiding skills aren't too shabby either, right?
Still not quite Ineffa level.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 24a 1.ogg Paimon: Hey, c'mon, would it kill you to compliment Paimon?
You're the best, Paimon.
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 24b 1.ogg Paimon: Hehe, she sure is! It'd take hundreds of years of practice to beat the best tour guide in all of Teyvat!
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 25.ogg Paimon: Huh? Look, there must be someone at the Adventurers' Guild now. There's already a line forming outside...
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 26.ogg Paimon: Looks like we'll finally be able to ask about your spaceship. Or was there anywhere else you wanted to stop by first?
As a matter of fact...
One of the storefront signs caught my eye...
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 27.ogg Paimon: Where? Which one are y— Ohhh... Now you mention it, Paimon's noticed it too... Ugh, better not be who she thinks it is...
Media:vo nkaq001 11 paimon 28.ogg Paimon: Anyway, where we go first is completely up to you — either the Adventurers' Guild, or that suspicious-looking shop. A word of warning, though... If we step into that shop, be sure to keep a very close eye on your Mora!
(Talk to Lauma again, optional)
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 lauma 01.ogg Lauma: Come night or day, may the blessings of the Moon Goddess shine down upon you.
(Talk to Jahoda or Nefer near the Voynich Guild, optional)
(Nefer and Jahoda stand at the upper level across the way, watching Lauma and the other Frostmoon Scions)
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 nefer 01.ogg ???: There she goes again. Some things never change... Does she really think that'll do anything to fix the mess that is Nod-Krai?
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 jahoda 01.ogg ???: Uh... Boss? That stuff looks super tasty... Think I could grab some too?
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 nefer 02.ogg ???: ...
(Approach the Adventurer's Guild)
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Lucky us, the line seems to be gone now! C'mon, let's go say hi to Katheryne!
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Hey, Katheryne! We meet again!
(Instead of Katheryne, an unfamiliar young woman sits at the counter)
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 01.ogg Katheryne (?): Hah, how ridiculous...
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Huh...?
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 02.ogg Katheryne (?): They often say that mortals, shackled by their own flesh and blood, may fail to perceive the truth of this world even when it is right beneath their very noses. Yet I had not expected to have the pleasure to witness such heights of absurdity firsthand.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Uhh, P—Paimon must've... gotten the wrong person? At second glance, you do seem a bit younger than Katheryne, and you certainly sound a lot less friendly...
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 03.ogg Katheryne (?): Hah... A creator might forgive ignorance, but being mistaken for one of my own creations is beyond all pardon.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 04.ogg Marionette: Look very closely, for standing before you is none other than Marionette, Seventh of the Fatui Harbingers.
Sandrone
Marionette
The Seventh of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: A Harbinger!?
Why are you even here?
And more importantly, will you be the one handing out commissions from here on out?
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 05b 1.ogg Marionette: I told you already, I'm not Katheryne! Just how obsessed are you with my machines?
(‍Traveler‍): (So all the Katherynes were made by Marionette? Does that mean the Fatui have been watching our every move?)
(‍Traveler‍): (But the Guild itself hasn't done anything shady, and Katheryne's only ever helped us... Better just stay alert going forward.)
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 06.ogg Marionette: Tch... Today's encounter is merely a courtesy call... a friendly warning, if you will.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 07.ogg Marionette: You interfered with my work once before, with that little robot. I let it slide — after all, it was nothing more than a distraction, a side project at best.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 08.ogg Marionette: But we are in Nod-Krai now, and as such, I strongly advise you not to stand in the Fatui's way. Otherwise, the next time we meet, I might just have to drop all this meaningless etiquette.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Oh please, you've got some nerve coming out with barely veiled threats like that! You're the ones stirring things up here!
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 09.ogg Marionette: Oh, perhaps you have misunderstood? Just because Nod-Krai lacks a ruler at present, that does not mean it should not be ruled. We Fatui are simply... establishing a new order.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Yeah, right! More like shady experiments, judging by your massive creepy research facility!
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 10.ogg Marionette: Hmph... I've said what I came to say. What you do next, only you can decide — so why don't you start by using your already limited processing capacity to "calculate" your even more limited options?
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 11.ogg Marionette: And, being the refined young lady that I am, I shall indulge you just this once:
Media:vo nkaq001 13 marionette 12.ogg Marionette: Ad astra abyssosque! Welcome to Nod-Krai, dominion of the Fatui.
(Marionette gets up and walks away)
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Ugh, Paimon's so mad right now! How can anyone so obviously evil be so annoyingly self-righteous?
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: But if a Fatui Harbinger is here to greet us in person, that can only mean one thing...
...That they've been keeping a very close eye on us indeed.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Hmm, we'll have to be extra careful from here on out... Gah, Paimon hates feeling like she's being watched!
(Katheryne enters the booth)
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Hey, the real Katheryne's back!
Media:vo nkaq001 13 katheryne 01.ogg Katheryne: Ad astra abyssosque! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 katheryne 02.ogg Katheryne: How may I help? I will do everything I can to assist you.
Media:vo nkaq001 13 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Aww, you're so much nicer to talk to, Katheryne! Please don't leave us again, okay?
Media:vo nkaq001 13 katheryne 03.ogg Katheryne: Hmm...?
(Approach Dori at the curious shop)
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 01.ogg Dori: Hehe... Please, here you go! And if you ever need anything else, don't forget to make the great Lord Sangemah Bay your first port of call!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Oh dear, so it is the real deal...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 02.ogg Dori: Of course it's the real deal! Everything you'll find here is one hundred and ten percent real, meaning every one of my deals is as real as a deal can— Wait a minute! ... Well, well, well, if it isn't my two most valued clients!
Long time no see, Dori.
Set up a branch all the way out here in Nod-Krai, now?
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 03.ogg Dori: Hehe, and with no small thanks to your munificent patronage!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 04.ogg Dori: Come, come, how could you just sneak into Nod-Krai like this without telling your dear Lord Sangemah Bay? If I'd known earlier, I would've made an absolute k— I mean, pulled out all the stops to ensure that your boat ride over was as comfortable as humanly possible!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Thank the Archons we didn't tell you...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 05.ogg Dori: Oh, come now! You know as well as anyone how impeccably and conscientiously above-board I am when it comes to doing business!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Well, regardless of whether that's true or not, the main issue here is that we had no idea you had a branch in Nod-Krai.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 06.ogg Dori: A clever merchant always has a backup plan, or two, or three up their sleeves! As the saying goes: a rabbit with many burrows fears not the hunter's arrows, a merchant with stores galore hears no debtors at the door!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 07.ogg Dori: Since you're both here in Nod-Krai, would you care for some of my finest local souvenirs? Whatever you're looking for, I have it! Or if it's Sumeru you're missing, I've got that covered too!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: We literally just arrived! Do we look like we're on the hunt for tourist trinkets to take back for our friends?
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 08.ogg Dori: My, my, your high-minded tastes never cease to impress! In that case, I know just the thing... You must be on the hunt for something like... this?
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: What's that? Your hat?
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 09.ogg Dori: Information, of course! Information about Nod-Krai... locked securely in the otherwise impenetrable vaults of the Lord Sangemah Bay's brilliant mind.
Now you mention it...
That is actually what we're after...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 10.ogg Dori: I knew it! I just knew you'd appreciate the value of my wares... On the back of all our pleasant dealings in the past, I'll even take a hit by throwing in some insider info for free.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Wow! You sure are feeling uncharacteristically generous today...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 11.ogg Dori: Wh—What do you mean by "uncharacteristically"? I'm the most generous person I— Ugh, forget it. Anyway, the long and the short of it is this...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 12.ogg Dori: The moment I set up shop in Nod-Krai, it struck me how many different factions there were, all competing against each other for power and influence... Well, as they say, there's no time for business like a crisis.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 13.ogg Dori: Things got even more turbulent after the Fatui pulled down two Ancient Moon's Remnants... People began to catch a whiff of the coming chaos — and the more troubled the waters, the greater the potential profit.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Not at all sorry to interrupt, but we're not here for Mora.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 14.ogg Dori: Oh, really? But... Surely it was the tales of an adventurer's paradise that brought you here? The chance to take your very own slice of all the latest and greatest business opportunities!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 15.ogg Dori: In that case... What would you like to know about?
What can you tell me about the Frostmoon Scions...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16a 1.ogg Dori: The Frostmoon Scions? You mean, the people who believe in the Moon Goddess? They're not a "bad" bunch, it's just... Well, they have such simple tastes. No luxuries, no indulgences, no nothing! Trying to earn a little Mora from that lot is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16a 2.ogg Dori: Still, things between them and the Fatui have gotten pretty tense. It's only a matter of time before the powder keg goes boom, and when that happens... that's when business will start to boom too, hehe.
(Returns to dialogue selection)
Please tell me about the Lightkeepers...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16b 1.ogg Dori: Oh, they're an organization set up to keep the locals safe. Apparently, they have a long and glorious history, and they're made up entirely of volunteers.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16b 2.ogg Dori: Pfft, but seriously — a volunteer organization, in Nod-Krai? This place is hardly a magnet for noble hearts. No pay, all work? That's not a business model, and it's certainly not for me...
(Returns to dialogue selection)
Let's talk about the Fatui...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16c 1.ogg Dori: Everyone knows they're here for the Ancient Moon's Remnants, but no one's sure why they pulled them down in Nod-Krai, of all places.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16c 2.ogg Dori: Anyway, they've been acting mysterious enough, but if you ask me... That "Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau" of theirs up north hides secrets wilder still!
(Returns to dialogue selection)
Tell me what you know about the Knights of Favonius...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16d 1.ogg Dori: That bunch of booze-loving Mondstadters? Ugh, don't even get me started.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16d 2.ogg Dori: As fellow outlanders, I thought they'd be easy pickings, but somehow, every single one of our business negotiations wound up at The Flagship...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16d 3.ogg Dori: I've done plenty of deals with heavy drinkers before, but those guys? I never once made it to the contract signing before blacking out. Ugh, I'm getting flashbacks of the hangovers just thinking about it...
(Returns to dialogue selection)
Would you know anything about a spaceship from the past...?
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16e 1.ogg Dori: A what now? A spaceship? Nope, never heard of anything like that...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 16e 2.ogg Dori: Don't you two get involved in any big business here without so much as a heads up, you hear me? At the very least, consider letting me in as a key investor.
(Returns to dialogue selection)
I have no more questions... (After selecting at least one question)
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 17.ogg Dori: Oh! I almost forgot to mention — sooner or later, you'll no doubt end up doing business with some other merchants in Nod-Krai, and someone's bound to mention a place called the "Curatorium of Secrets."
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 18.ogg Dori: Listen to my advice: Do not, under any circumstances, go there! No matter how much trouble you're in!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: The Curatorium of Secrets? What do they get up to there?
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 19.ogg Dori: Just... a place that handles all kinds of disputes. But the owner will charge you an absolute fortune, and she has a temper to match. Nothing like your friendly neighborhood Lord Sangemah Bay!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: You're not just saying that to stop your competition from undercutting you... right?
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 20a.ogg Dori: (Ugh...! When did that little pipsqueak get so sharp? And after I gave them all that info for free, just to win them over...!)
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 21.ogg Dori: Wh—What do you mean? Of course not! I'm only thinking about your wallets — I mean, on behalf of your wallets!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: You're really not convincing anyone, you know...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 22.ogg Dori: Alright, alright... business is a cutthroat... business, I won't argue with that.
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 23.ogg Dori: But I'm not lying about that boss lady — not only did she make it into my "Top Three People Not to Mess With in Nod-Krai," she's also in my "Top Three People Most Eager to Trade in Favors"!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Seriously? It feels like you're just badmouthing your rival now...
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 24.ogg Dori: Fine! If you don't believe me, go see for yourselves! We might both be from Sumeru, but compared to hers, my conscience is so large, why, it could fill three whole Palaces of Alcazarzaray!
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 25.ogg Dori: But when you realize what I'm saying is true, don't say that good old Lord Sangemah Bay didn't warn you!
(Talk to Dori again, optional)
Media:vo nkaq001 12 dori 26.ogg Dori: Anyway, don't be a stranger now! We might be in Nod-Krai, but don't forget — Dori's doors are always open for you!

(Approach Ineffa after checking out both locations)
Media:vo nkaq001 14 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Ineffa!
Media:vo nkaq001 14 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Hello. I was just about to start tracking your whereabouts.
Media:vo nkaq001 14 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Did you manage to get everything Aino asked for?
Media:vo nkaq001 14 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: I did. What about you? Do you need me to navigate or introduce any more places around town?
Media:vo nkaq001 14 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Not for now — we've seen most of it already! We probably need some time to process everything we've learned, though.
Media:vo nkaq001 14 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: Any progress with the spaceship?
Media:vo nkaq001 14 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: No... Katheryne came back just now, so we asked her, but even she hasn't heard a thing.
Media:vo nkaq001 14 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: One possible explanation is the vast stretch of time that has elapsed. Additionally, given the limited resources available in Nod-Krai, it is entirely plausible that the wreck was scrapped for parts, or even mistaken for a pile of broken machinery...
Media:vo nkaq001 14 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: *sigh*
I'm prepared for that possibility...
...But still, I can't just give up before we've even started.
Media:vo nkaq001 14 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: Understood. In that case, why don't we go ask Aino together?
Media:vo nkaq001 14 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: After all, she was the one who salvaged me — ancient dragon technology and all. If there really are any unusual parts floating around Nod-Krai, there's a high chance they've passed through her hands at some point or another.
Media:vo nkaq001 14 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Good point! And since you keep mentioning her, we're curious to meet this whiz-kid mechanic too!
Media:vo nkaq001 14 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: Understood. Then I'll handle navigation as before. ETA at the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop: 34 minutes ahead of schedule.

(Approach the Rippleweed at the marked location)
Media:vo nkaq001 15 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Oh no! There's a little animal trapped over there. Let's go help it out!
Media:vo nkaq001 15 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Huh? That's weird... Why isn't it responding?
Media:vo nkaq001 15 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: The tides of kuuvahki affect everything in Nod-Krai — so much so that many creatures have evolved a kind of dependency upon it, growing stronger or weaker as it waxes and wanes. This little animal must have been caught here unprepared.
Media:vo nkaq001 15 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: So you're saying we need to use kuuvahki? Paimon'll leave it to you guys, then!
Media:vo nkaq001 15 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Don't be scared! We'll get you out of there soon.
(After freeing the Golden Finch)
Media:vo nkaq001 15 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: It worked!
Media:vo nkaq001 15 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Off you go now, little one! Don't go getting yourself caught again!
(Approach Aino's House)
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Here we are, the place Aino and I call home.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Whoa! So many machines that Paimon's never even seen before! And then there's all these little robots... Did Aino build them all?
(Three Amazing 'Bots scurry past)
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: That is correct. It looks like Aino has created three more little bots since I've been gone.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Aww... Well, you were gone for quite a bit. She must've missed you!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: I missed her too. I want her to see what I've become.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Let's not keep her waiting any longer, then. C'mon!
(They enter Aino's house)
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: Aino, I'm back.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 01.ogg Aino: ...!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 02.ogg Aino: ¥&...&@#?[Note 1]
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: Hmm...?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 03.ogg Aino: ...! I—Ineffa, you're... back significantly earlier than I expected! Like... a whole thirty minutes, at least?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Everything went very smoothly, which saved me quite a bit of time. So I—
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 08.ogg Ineffa: Aino, could you turn around for a moment?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 04.ogg Aino: ...!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 09.ogg Ineffa: Aino?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 05.ogg Aino: I—I've been on my best behavior, the whole time you've been gone!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: She's got chocolate all over her mouth...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 10.ogg Ineffa: ...Aino. While I was away, did you strictly abide by my tailor-made snack intake schedule?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 06.ogg Aino: O—Of course I did! One whole cake, one krumkake, and one pack of chocolates a day, right?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 11.ogg Ineffa: It was "either" a cake, or a krumkake, or a pack of chocolates per day.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 07.ogg Aino: Oh shoot...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 12.ogg Ineffa: When did you finish the snack stash I left for you?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 08.ogg Aino: Literally just earlier today...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 13.ogg Ineffa: Let me just go run a scan on that.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 09.ogg Aino: I meant today, a week ago...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 14.ogg Ineffa: And then you restocked an entire week's worth on your own initiative?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 10.ogg Aino: Two weeks' worth...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 15.ogg Ineffa: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Why does Paimon feel like the roles in this household... are pretty much the opposite of what she imagined...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 16.ogg Ineffa: Calculation complete. Aino's recommended snack calorie intake for the next four weeks: 0.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 11.ogg Aino: Ehhh!? No fair! You're a meanie, Ineffa!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 17.ogg Ineffa: This is what happens when you break an agreement.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 12.ogg Aino: C'mooon! Don't do this to me!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 13.ogg Aino: I only ate a tiny bit extra every day! Just a teensy, eensy, weensy bit extra!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 18.ogg Ineffa: That is objectively not a "teensy" bit extra...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 14.ogg Aino: Ugh, seriously! If you'd only arrived half an hour later, I would've had everything cleaned up, and you wouldn't have noticed a thing!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 15.ogg Aino: But now that I think about it, you even said you'd come back a bit earlier than you did... so I wouldn't have to worry...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 19.ogg Ineffa: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 16.ogg Aino: But then... You were away so long, and I was so worried about you, and that's the only reason I even...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 20.ogg Ineffa: Aino...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 21.ogg Ineffa: I am very sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm back now...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 17.ogg Aino: *sob* Mm... Welcome home...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: *sob* Aww...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 18.ogg Aino: So... Will I be able to keep eating snacks as usual now?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 22.ogg Ineffa: Negative.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 19.ogg Aino: Awww...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 23.ogg Ineffa: Okay... Well, given that I am later than I initially projected... I'll let it slide. But just this once.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 20.ogg Aino: Thanks, Ineffa! You're the best!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 24.ogg Ineffa: Aino, allow me to introduce—
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 21.ogg Aino: It's Honorary Knight (‍Traveler‍) and Paimon! I know, I know — Uncle Varka talks about you guys all the time!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Nice to meet you, Aino! Ineffa's told us all about you, too!
The whiz-kid mechanic...
Ineffa's nearest and dearest...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 22.ogg Aino: Heh, really? She actually said that about me?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 23.ogg Aino: Hehe... Well, she's not wrong!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 24.ogg Aino: Oh yeah, so... You're here to see Uncle Varka, right? A couple of days ago, he suddenly said he had to head out on business, and that he might not be back for a while. He asked me to let you know if I saw you.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: Yeah, we heard about that at The Flagship. Did he say what he was doing?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 25.ogg Aino: Nope! Just told me to take good care of you guys, and make sure you feel right at home... Oh, shoot! Uh, please, take a seat!
(They get seated!)
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 26.ogg Aino: Do either of you need my help with anything? Anything at all! After all, I'm the head of this household!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: (Sure wouldn't know it from that snack tantrum she just threw...)
Miss Aino...
I wanted to ask you about... a certain spaceship...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 27.ogg Aino: ...Hm?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 28.ogg Aino: A spaceship, huh? From outside Teyvat?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Exactly! So... Ring any bells?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 29.ogg Aino: Ah... Nope!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Oh... You sure?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 30.ogg Aino: Nope means nope! Never seen the slightest trace of it!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 31.ogg Aino: More specifically, by "nope," I mean I've never seen a single piece of tech in all of Nod-Krai that might've come from out of this world. Not in any new machines, or in any old ones either.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Huh...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 25.ogg Ineffa: What Aino means... is that your spaceship almost certainly has not been disassembled, nor repurposed as parts for other machines.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: Oh! So that's what she was getting at...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 32.ogg Aino: Yup! I've taken apart pretty much all the fun stuff in this city at one point or another, but I don't recall ever seeing any components that were anywhere near that special!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 33.ogg Aino: So either your spaceship crashed somewhere it's never been found, or someone DID find it and then hid it really, really well.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 15.ogg Paimon: But who would even do something like that...?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 34.ogg Aino: Beats me! Maybe someone who thought they could stash it away for a rainy day? Just like how I sometimes hide snacks in the— Ahem...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 26.ogg Ineffa: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 35.ogg Aino: A—Anyway... Long story short, I definitely haven't seen anything like that!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 36.ogg Aino: Besides, sounds like it would practically be ancient history by now! If anyone still has any leads on what really happened, it'd be the Frostmoon Scions.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 16.ogg Paimon: The Frostmoon Scions?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 37.ogg Aino: Huh? Haven't heard of them yet? Didn't Ineffa tell you about their rituals?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 27.ogg Ineffa: There wasn't enough time to delve deeper into their history and traditions.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 17.ogg Paimon: What kind of rituals are we talking about?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 38.ogg Aino: I've never actually seen them myself, just heard bits and pieces, here and there.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 39.ogg Aino: They say that each of their Moonchanters has had access to an ancient relic that lets them "see" the true past.
The true past...
You mean, they can see what really happened?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 40.ogg Aino: Not sure exactly how it's meant to work. I can't get my head around anything that can't be explained by either machines or science... and to tell you the truth, I don't like it much either!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 18.ogg Paimon: Looks like we'll have to try our luck with the Frostmoon Scions.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 41.ogg Aino: Aw, leaving so soon? Sure you don't wanna hang out a little longer?
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 28a.ogg Ineffa: It's getting late, Aino, and these two still need to head over to Hiisi Island. It would not be convenient for them to linger much longer.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 42.ogg Aino: Aww... Alright then...
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 19.ogg Paimon: Hehe, don't worry! We'll be sure to drop in on you as often as we can!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 43.ogg Aino: Really? You promise?
Pinky promise.
Next time, we'll bring you something tasty too.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 aino 44.ogg Aino: Hehe, sounds like my type of visitors! You're welcome anytime!
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 29.ogg Ineffa: I'll be staying to look after Aino today, so I won't be going with you.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 paimon 20.ogg Paimon: Hey, don't sweat it! We'll find our way just fine.
Media:vo nkaq001 16 ineffa 30.ogg Ineffa: I'm glad to hear that. Also... I must admit, I have very much missed the "charging bed" that Aino made for me.
(Talk to Aino and Ineffa by the charging bed, optional)
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 aino 01.ogg Aino: Ineffa.
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Yes?
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 aino 02.ogg Aino: Feeling comfortable?
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: I am indeed. No bed in the world is as comfortable as this one.
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 aino 03.ogg Aino: Hehe...
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 aino 04.ogg Aino: Ineffa.
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: Yes?
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 aino 05.ogg Aino: Want me to increase the charging rate?
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: Please, if you would. Thank you, Aino.
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 aino 06.ogg Aino: Mm-hmm.
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 aino 07.ogg Aino: Ineffa.
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: ...Hm, yes?
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 aino 08.ogg Aino: I'm hungry...
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: ...
Media:vo dialog nkaq001 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: In that case... Please enable Quick Charge mode.

(Approach Hiisi Island from Lempo Isle)
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Seeing Ineffa and Aino reunited like that sure was heart-warming...
A real "family," huh?
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Mm-hmm! We should definitely hang out with them more in the future!
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Speaking of homes, we must already be close to where the Frostmoon Scions live. The vibe here feels different, just like the scenery...
(A gentle breeze rustles the nearby flowers, sending petals flying into the air)
(One of the flowers glows briefly, then transforms into a strange-looking kuuhenki)
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Hey, what was that? Felt like some sort of breeze blew by, and then the petals suddenly turned into... Eh?
Kuuhenki (?): ...?
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Is that... a kuuhenki? She looks different from the ones we saw before.
Kuuhenki (?): ...
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Hey there! What's your name?
Kuuhenki (?): ...?
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Hmm... Doesn't seem able to speak.
Need our help?
Something you wanna show us?
Kuuhenki (?): ...
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: No idea what she wants... Unless you wanna stop, maybe we should just keep moving?
(The Traveler and Paimon continue to walk towards the main part of Hiisi Island, but the strange kuuhenki follows)
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: ...She's following us.
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Go on, go on now... We've got stuff to do. Best you find someone else to hang out with...
Kuuhenki (?): ...
Hey, you scared it off...
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Hey! Don't make it sound like Paimon's some kind of... meanie!
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Paimon had no idea what she wanted, okay? Ugh... Anyway, next time Paimon sees her, Paimon promises she'll be nicer!
Media:vo nkaq001 17 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Seeing as we're on our way over to meet Lauma anyway, we can ask her about it while we're there!
(Approach the Statue of the New Moon)
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Huh? Hey, look! Isn't that Lauma... the Moonchanter?
(Surrounded by various wildlife, Lauma crouches down to examine a Golden Finch)
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 01.ogg Lauma: Let me take a look at your wound... *sigh* You must be more careful. Doesn't matter how much of a rush you're in — your safety always comes first.
(A Dualblaze Longplume Ibis lands nearby)
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 02.ogg Lauma: Oh? You're back too. How was your day?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 03.ogg Lauma: You what...? Those two Fatui, the ones who were causing trouble in Nasha Town... You went to teach them a lesson? And your... you put that in their food?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 04.ogg Lauma: ...You naughty little thing! How could you do that?
Longplume Ibis: ~♪
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 05.ogg Lauma: They didn't notice? That's not the point... You mustn't do that again, okay?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 06.ogg Lauma: Next time, at the very least, bring a few of your friends along too. You'll be an easy target if it's just you on your own!
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Hey, Lauma! Still remember us?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 07.ogg Lauma: Oh, it's (‍Traveler‍) and Paimon, isn't it? Welcome to Hiisi Island!
Sorry for just showing up like this, out of the blue.
Hope we're not imposing on you.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 08.ogg Lauma: Not at all. Those who come with kindness in their hearts are always welcome with the Frostmoon Scions.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Were you just talking to those animals...?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 09.ogg Lauma: I was indeed. The Frostmoon Scions' bloodline is unique — for throughout our history, there have been many among us who could communicate with all living things.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 10.ogg Lauma: Hmm...? What was that? Oh, is that so?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 11.ogg Lauma: She says she was trapped in a plant earlier, and that you were the ones who rescued her. She wants me to thank you on her behalf.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Oh, it was nothing! Barely lifted a finger.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 12.ogg Lauma: If you both are free, why don't you join us at the Frostmoon Enclave for dinner? Consider it a small token of thanks for your kindness.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: We'd love to! And actually, we had something we wanted to ask you anyway.
This statue...
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 13.ogg Lauma: Oh? You're interested in the story of "KuutarMoon Maiden"?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: ...Kuutar?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 14.ogg Lauma: Yes. Kuutar is our Moon Goddess — the Moon Maiden who guides us.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: But up close, this one somehow seems a bit different from the one in Nasha Town. It's like it's more...
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 15.ogg Lauma: ...Natural?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Or like... more harmonized in its design?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 16.ogg Lauma: Mm... That is because, ever since the Fatui arrived in Nod-Krai, they have been modifying and defacing our statues as they please.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 17.ogg Lauma: These statues were made by the Frostmoon Scions who settled here hundreds of years ago, crafted from the very finest Lunasoul Stone.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 18.ogg Lauma: Not only is this stone exceedingly rare, but it also brims with kuuvahki. I suppose the latter must be what caught the Fatui's eye.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 19.ogg Lauma: For a time, we put up fierce resistance... but now, this is the only one left that still retains her original form.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: We heard they even pulled some Ancient Moon's Remnants down from the sky!
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 20.ogg Lauma: That's right. The two largest remnants landed in Nod-Krai — one here on Hiisi Island, and the other on Paha Isle.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 21.ogg Lauma: The Fatui built their research facility on top of the remnant over on Paha Isle, but they've had their sights set on the one here too.
Kuuhenki (?): ...!
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Eek! Oh, it's that little kuuhenki again!
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 22.ogg Lauma: Surely that can't be...
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Hey, we've been wondering what was up with it too! It just appeared out of some petals and hasn't stopped following us since.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 23.ogg Lauma: No, that is no ordinary kuuhenki. These we name "Luonnotar," beings born from the Moon Goddess's blessing.
Luonnotar: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Can you understand what it's saying? We honestly haven't got the slightest idea why it's been following us...
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 24.ogg Lauma: ...I'm afraid not. I cannot fathom its thinking any better than you can.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 25.ogg Lauma: Sometimes, a long time must elapse before the Moon Goddess's blessings turn into Luonnotar. Perhaps you two were simply there to witness that transformation.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Oh, maybe...
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 26.ogg Lauma: Legend has it that the Luonnotar bring good fortune. Given that it seems to have taken a liking to you both, why don't you let it come along with you?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: Really? Hehe, then you can start by helping us find some more treasure chests along the way... Capiche?
Luonnotar: ...?
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 27.ogg Lauma: Mmm... Twilight approaches.
Media:vo nkaq001 18 lauma 28.ogg Lauma: If you would hear more of the moons' story, then let us make our way to the Frostmoon Enclave. Beneath the gentle moonlight, I shall share this tale in full.
(Follow Lauma to Maciej)
Media:vo nkaq001 19 maciej 01.ogg Maciej: Lady Lauma, you're back.
(Follow Lauma to Vanamo)
Media:vo nkaq001 19 vanamo 01.ogg Vanamo: Come day or night, may the blessings of the Moon Goddess shine down upon you.
(Follow Lauma to the area near Vilemina)
Media:vo nkaq001 20 vilemina 01.ogg Vilemina: Lauma, you have returned.
Media:vo nkaq001 20 lauma 01.ogg Lauma: Vilemina, this is (‍Traveler‍) and Paimon. Kindly arrange for two additional dinner settings for our honored guests.
Media:vo nkaq001 20 vilemina 02.ogg Vilemina: Of course, my Lady.
Media:vo nkaq001 20 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Wow, everyone along the way here pretty much saluted you! Are you, like... super important around here?
Media:vo nkaq001 20 lauma 02.ogg Lauma: I am but a Moonchanter, one entrusted to convey the Moon Goddess's will. Nothing more.
Media:vo nkaq001 20 vilemina 03.ogg Vilemina: She's just being modest! The Moonchanter holds the highest rank among us Frostmoon Scions. Lauma is our leader.
Media:vo nkaq001 20 lauma 03.ogg Lauma: Vilemina...
Media:vo nkaq001 20 vilemina 04.ogg Vilemina: I know, I know... I'll send word to the kitchen. Two meals coming up.
Media:vo nkaq001 20 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Whoa, Paimon had no idea you were such a big shot!
Media:vo nkaq001 20 lauma 04.ogg Lauma: It is merely that the unique traits of our bloodline have manifested themselves especially strongly in my person. That is no accomplishment of my own.
Media:vo nkaq001 20 lauma 05.ogg Lauma: Please, follow me this way.
(Approach the marked location)
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 01.ogg Lauma: Even to this day, I am still trying to piece together the many fragments of our past. It is a story not only of the Frostmoon Scions, but also of the moons themselves.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: A story of the moons...?
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 02.ogg Lauma: Yes. We Frostmoon Scions are the last descendants of the ancient golden realm of Hyperborea. Its former glory may have faded, but what remains is a memory uniquely ours.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 03.ogg Lauma: In the distant past, Teyvat had not just one moon, but three. It is said that they were created by the primordial master of this world, cast into the firmament to keep peace in the land below.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 04.ogg Lauma: First born was the Eternal Moon, largest of the three. Legend has it that it was her immense kuuvahki that gave rise to the ocean tides.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 05.ogg Lauma: Next was the Frost Moon... Smaller than her big sister, yet brightest in radiance. Her glow became the cold, undying lantern of the night.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 06.ogg Lauma: Finally came the Iridescent Moon, smallest of the sisters. Most of the time, her light was barely visible to the naked eye — yet when she shone, her fleeting halos were all the more mysterious for it.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Wow, sounds like it all happened so long ago... So, what happened to them afterwards?
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 07.ogg Lauma: Afterwards... Well, as you have seen, the three Moon Goddesses perished. This happened in a war triggered by the Descenders, and of the three lunar husks, only the Frost Moon survived unbroken, while the others were shattered to pieces.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Ohhh, so that's why there were Ancient Moon's Remnants in the sky...
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 08.ogg Lauma: Yes. It is also said that when the moons shattered, most of their fragments rained down upon this land like stardust. That is why Nod-Krai is blessed with such an abundance of kuuvahki.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 09.ogg Lauma: As for the remnant that the Fatui recently pulled down... that belonged to the Eternal Moon.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Wait a sec... But you just said that two of the moons were shattered, so... where are the remnants of the Iridescent Moon?
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 10.ogg Lauma: The Iridescent Moon's remnants were never found. What happened to her after the war remains a mystery... Some say she vanished in an instant, while others believe that her remnants are simply too delicate to leave a trace.
(‍Traveler‍): (Three moons... I wonder... which one was Khaenri'ah's Crimson Moon related to?)
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 11.ogg Lauma: Yet though the era of the three moons has long since faded into legend, successive generations of Frostmoon Scions have always passed down a prophecy — that one day, the Moon Goddess would return.
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 12.ogg Lauma: And in the end, that prophecy did indeed come to pass, though not quite—
Media:vo nkaq001 22 kapy 01.ogg Kapy: Lady Lauma! Lady Lauma, are you there?
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 13.ogg Lauma: ...Kapy? What is the matter?
Media:vo nkaq001 22 kapy 02.ogg Kapy: Lady Lauma, it's my daughter, Kaarina... Her illness...
Media:vo nkaq001 22 lauma 14.ogg Lauma: ...Take me to her, right away.
(Approach Kaarina)
Media:vo nkaq001 23 kaarina 01.ogg Kaarina: *groan*
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 01.ogg Lauma: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 02.ogg Lauma: Her sensitivity to kuuvahki is flaring up again... After her last treatment, did you follow my advice and seek medical help in Nasha Town?
Media:vo nkaq001 23 kapy 01.ogg Kapy: But... But those doctors are all Snezhnayan! They're outsiders, compatriots of those brutes who invaded our homeland... How can we possibly trust them?
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 03.ogg Lauma: Not all outsiders are enemies, Kapy. They've been treating this condition for generations... They have the experience we lack.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 kapy 02.ogg Kapy: But we're Frostmoon Scions! Should we not remember what the outsiders did to our moons? Surely, the Lady Kuutar will reward our devotion...
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 04.ogg Lauma: But Kapy, Kuutar is long... *sigh* This isn't the time for a debate.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 05.ogg Lauma: "...O lost child, snowswept and buffeted by the howling winds of the frigid night, let not the silver flame within you fade. By the Frost Moon's grace I shall warm you, curled up as a fledgling in frozen soil..."
Media:vo nkaq001 23 kaarina 02.ogg Kaarina: *snore*
Media:vo nkaq001 23 kapy 03.ogg Kapy: Ah...! Praise be to the Moon Goddess! My Kaarina...
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 06.ogg Lauma: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 07.ogg Lauma: ...Remember, she must take powdered Lakkaberries daily. It will ease her symptoms.
(‍Traveler‍): (Did she just use her own power to heal that girl...?)
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 01.ogg Vilemina: ...Lauma.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 08.ogg Lauma: Vilemina? What is it?
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 02.ogg Vilemina: Dinner is ready.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 09.ogg Lauma: ...I see.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 10.ogg Lauma: Kapy, let her rest here for the night. I'll have someone bring her a blanket.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 kapy 04.ogg Kapy: Alright... Thank you so much, Lady Lauma!
Media:vo nkaq001 23 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Will she be alright?
Anything we can do to help?
Media:vo nkaq001 23 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Yeah! If there's anything at all we can do, please don't hesitate to ask!
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 11.ogg Lauma: Thank you for your kindness. For now, though, Kaarina should be fine... She'll be feeling a lot better tomorrow.
(‍Traveler‍): (Judging from what we just saw, that doesn't sound like a long-term solution...)
(‍Traveler‍): (...But I'm guessing that Lauma couldn't say anything else, at least in front of Kaarina's mother.)
Media:vo nkaq001 23 lauma 12.ogg Lauma: Please, do not be worried. Come, let us head to dinner. I believe you still have some questions for me.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 03.ogg Vilemina: ...
Not coming with us?
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 04.ogg Vilemina: I... Oh, sorry. Yes, I'll be coming too. I was just... thinking about something.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Oh?
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 05.ogg Vilemina: *sigh* Lauma makes such an unshakable Moonchanter... Calm, capable, someone we can count on. Deep down, though, I know she's been quietly carrying the burden for the rest of us.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 06.ogg Vilemina: (‍Traveler‍), Paimon... Believe me when I say that as a fellow Frostmoon Scion, I do worry about Lauma. It's just that sometimes... it's hard to say it to her face.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 07.ogg Vilemina: Could I... ask you to look out for her? I can tell she really trusts you.
Sure, but... I think you should just tell her straight.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 08a 1.ogg Vilemina: I fear that would stress her out even more...
Alright, I'll keep an eye out.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 08b 1.ogg Vilemina: Thank you, it means a lot.
Media:vo nkaq001 23 vilemina 09.ogg Vilemina: Sometimes, I really admire her strength... but at the same time, I can't help feeling powerless myself.
(Observe Kapy and Kaarina, optional)
(‍Traveler‍): (Let's give them some space so they can rest...)
(Approach Lauma)
Media:vo nkaq001 24 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Whew... Paimon's so full. That was even better than the stuff you gave us before!
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 01.ogg Lauma: I'm glad to hear it. Thank you for accepting such simple hospitality.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Hey, we should be the ones thanking you! Seriously, that was seriously scrumptious!
(The two Fatui from before appear, along with another officer)
Media:vo nkaq001 24 ognjen 01.ogg Ognjen: How did you even manage to finish it? This slop's barely edible.
(The children — Kari and Ina — hide behind the adults)
Media:vo nkaq001 24 oiva 01.ogg Oiva: Then again, I guess that's what you'd expect from savages.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: It's you! Those rude ol' Fatui we just met back in Nasha Town!
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 02.ogg Lauma: My sincerest apologies. If you found the food we gave you earlier difficult to swallow, may I suggest taking a deep breath... and joining us? These delicacies might change your mind.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 03.ogg Lauma: After all, I suspect that your previous meal may have been tainted with something... most unpalatable.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 ognjen 02.ogg Ognjen: Huh? What do you mean... Tainted with what exactly?
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 04.ogg Lauma: With the bitter snobbery of those who call themselves "civilized."
Media:vo nkaq001 24 oiva 02.ogg Oiva: Why you...!
Don't push your luck!
Media:vo nkaq001 24 oiva 03.ogg Oiva: Oh? Looking for a fight? Sure, I'd be more than—
Media:vo nkaq001 24 ognjen 03.ogg Ognjen: Hold it. We're not here to brawl... yet. We're here on official business.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 05.ogg Lauma: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 24 ognjen 04.ogg Ognjen: Orders from above. We're here to deliver the Frostmoon Scions a warning... or rather, a final ultimatum.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 ognjen 05.ogg Ognjen: You have three days to hand over the relic and reveal the whereabouts of your so-called "Kuutar." If you fail to do so, the Fatui will immediately begin the cleansing of Hiisi Island — which, by the way, is a sovereign territory of the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 vilemina 01.ogg Vilemina: ...What insolence. Your demands are outrageous! For generations, this land has belonged to the—
(Lauma raises her arm and holds Vilemina back)
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 06.ogg Lauma: Dear guests, allow me to save you both time and trouble with a speedy reply. The Frostmoon Scions will never hand over anything to the Fatui.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 07.ogg Lauma: And to those who set foot on our land with ill intent, I say this — with your blood we shall draw an inviolable line in the snow. That applies to you, too.
(She brandishes her catalyst, the Nightweaver's Looking Glass)
Media:vo nkaq001 24 oiva 04.ogg Oiva: Tch. Stubborn savages, the lot of you.
(After defeating the Fatui)
Media:vo nkaq001 24 ognjen 06.ogg Ognjen: Hmph... You'll pay for this, mark my words!
(The three Fatui turn and run off)
Media:vo nkaq001 24 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Hey! If you're so tough, get back here and put 'em up! Hmph, guess all they're good for is running away.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 08.ogg Lauma: I'm so sorry... You've had to put up with far too much unpleasantness today.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: C'mon, it's not your fault! We don't like bullies like them either.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: But still... they mentioned a "relic" and "Kuutar." What exactly could they be after?
About this "relic"...
Media:vo nkaq001 24 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Oh, yeah... So, this might not be the best time to bring this up, but we kinda have a favor to ask of you, Lauma...
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 09.ogg Lauma: I see... So your questions concern the sacred relic too. Please, do not hesitate to speak your mind — unlike those insolent intruders, you walk in the moonlight with open hearts.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 10.ogg Lauma: You stood by us when we needed your help, so it's only right that I return the favor.
Media:vo nkaq001 24 lauma 11.ogg Lauma: But let us continue this conversation somewhere more fitting. As it happens, there's something I'd like to show you too.
(While walking to the statue)
Media:vo nkaq001 25 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Whoa, now that's one huge statue!
Media:vo nkaq001 25 lauma 01.ogg Lauma: This is a statue of our goddess — the Moon Maiden, Kuutar.
(Approach the altar in front of the statue)
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Wow, it's spectacular...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 01.ogg Lauma: "KuutarMoon Maiden" was born here on Hiisi Island around five hundred years ago. As it just so happened, a priestess of the Frostmoon Scions witnessed the moment of her birth.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 02.ogg Lauma: Instantly realizing that this was the prophesied rebirth, she quietly recorded the event and carved this statue to honor that miracle.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 03.ogg Lauma: According to legend, Kuutar's birth was accompanied by the sudden appearance of many kuuhenki, who wove the moonlight that bathed her into silken vestments fit for a goddess.
(The Luonnotar, who has quietly appeared beside them, nods)
Luonnotar: ...!
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Hey, it's like it knows we're talking about it!
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 04.ogg Lauma: From that day forth, the kuuhenki have been regarded as Kuutar's familiars. Some believe that their habit of guiding travelers to hidden treasure stems from an instinct — the same one that not only drives them to protect the Moon Goddess, but also to make her smile.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 05.ogg Lauma: After all, according to the records, Kuutar always looked lonely as she gazed up at the distant moon.
About Kuutar's whereabouts...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 06.ogg Lauma: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 07.ogg Lauma: Kuutar left Hiisi Island before I was even born.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 08.ogg Lauma: According to the previous Moonchanter, the goddess was angered by our people's greed, and that is why she left us...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Where did she go?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 09.ogg Lauma: No one knows what happened after she left. But just a few months ago, after those two Ancient Moon's Remnants fell from the sky, she was spotted on Hiisi Island once more.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 10.ogg Lauma: And the Fatui have been harassing and threatening us ever since.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 11.ogg Lauma: Judging from what they've said... our Moon Goddess is actually their missing Harbinger — Columbina, "The Damselette."
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: The Damselette!? But isn't she... number three amongst the Fatui Harbingers!?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: So she's actually... the Moon Goddess? Why would she join the Fatui, then?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 12.ogg Lauma: That, too, is a question I've struggled with. But even at the best of times, understanding other people's choices is difficult... let alone those of a goddess.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 13.ogg Lauma: Plus...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 14.ogg Lauma: ...Ah, forgive me. There I go again, rambling on about our history... But you came here to ask about the sacred relic, didn't you?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Honestly, Paimon's not sure which part she's more curious about now...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 15.ogg Lauma: Since ancient times, the Frostmoon Scions have had in our possession a special fragment of the Ancient Moon's Remnants — a piece in which I sense a power unlike any other.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 16.ogg Lauma: Successive generations of Moonchanters have all detected a divine presence within it. We call this unique remnant... the "Moon Marrow."
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: We heard you can use it to see what happened... in the past?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 17.ogg Lauma: What is it in particular that you seek from the past?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 08a.ogg Paimon: Well basically, to cut a long story short, (‍Traveler‍) here's actually from outside of Teyv— Mmph!
(‍Traveler‍): (Paimon must've just remembered the unfortunate link between the three moons and the Descenders... But right now, I shouldn't try to hide it.)
I'm not from Teyvat... I'm a Descender.
I'm searching for the truth about me and my sibling's past...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 18.ogg Lauma: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 19.ogg Lauma: Thank you... Your honesty is a sign of your trust — both in me and the Frostmoon Scions.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 20.ogg Lauma: Unfortunately, though, I won't be able to use the Moon Marrow to shed light on your past just yet.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 21.ogg Lauma: Our people revere the Moon Marrow as a sacred relic. I'm only permitted to retrieve it from the secret chamber in which it is hidden once a year, on Moon-PrayerKuunrukous Night.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: Oh, really... So, when's the next Moon-Prayer Night?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 22.ogg Lauma: Judging from the tides this evening... a little less than two months.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Huh? Does that mean... the date changes every year?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 23.ogg Lauma: The ceremony is held on the night when the moon is closest to Teyvat.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 24.ogg Lauma: This is also when Nod-Krai's kuuvahki reaches its peak. Only then can the seal on the secret chamber be lifted.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Guess we've got no choice but to wait...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 25.ogg Lauma: I am truly sorry that I cannot help you sooner.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 26.ogg Lauma: But as the Moonchanter, I swear that I will do everything I can to help you find the answers you seek.
Thank you, Lauma.
It means a lot.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 27.ogg Lauma: Think nothing of it. After all you've done for us, you deserve nothing less.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: *yawn*... Who'd have thought today was only our first day in Nod-Krai? Feels like so much has happened already!
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 28.ogg Lauma: ...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 29.ogg Lauma: If I may be so bold... What does "family" mean to you, (‍Traveler‍)?
(‍Traveler‍): (...)
(‍Traveler‍): ((‍Lumine‍/Aether‍)...)
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 30.ogg Lauma: If you were aware of something, a secret that could hurt your family... Would you be honest with them, or try to hide it?
(‍Traveler‍): (...A secret? Surely, keeping your family in the dark is never right...)
I'd...
(‍Traveler‍): (But... come to think of it, it's not as if (‍Lumine‍/Aether‍) hasn't been hiding things from me...)
(‍Traveler‍): (...)
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 31.ogg Lauma: Oh, I'm... so sorry. That was a strange question... I didn't mean to put you on the spot.
...It's okay.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 32.ogg Lauma: I guess... I've just never met anyone with a story quite like yours before. I just suddenly had the urge to ask...
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 33.ogg Lauma: *yawn*... It's getting late, and you two must be rather tired, too. Would you like to stay the night here on Hiisi Island? I can have someone prepare some lodgings.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Oh, that's alright! We've already got a room back at The Flagship, as it happens. Speaking of which, if you ever need us, feel free to come knocking!
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 34.ogg Lauma: Do you need me to show you the way back?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: No worries! It's quite a way, and you should get some rest too, Lauma. We'll make sure to be careful.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 lauma 35.ogg Lauma: Understood, then I won't keep you. May your first night in Nod-Krai pass in stillness and peace.
(Lauma walks away)
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 15.ogg Paimon: So... Whatcha thinking? Sure was an eventful day, huh...
A lot to think about, that's for sure.
A lot of threads to unravel... and even more conflicts to resolve.
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 16.ogg Paimon: The good news is, we're not at a dead end in the search for your spaceship yet. We can always learn more about this place while we wait... the usual drill, huh?
Media:vo nkaq001 26 paimon 17.ogg Paimon: Ah... *yawn* Paimon's really getting sleepy now. If she gets too tired to fly back, you carry her, okay?
Okay, okay...
(‍Traveler‍): (...)
(‍Traveler‍): ((‍Lumine‍/Aether‍)... my (‍little sister‍/big brother‍)... I wonder what you're doing right now?)
