Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nA collection of folk stories, myths, and legends from Liyue. It's quite a page-turner. This segment is on the legends of stone beasts. —Stone Beasts— Stone statues appear all across the vast land of Liyue. Most were built by locals who prayed to them for favorable weather and peace steadfast as the mountains. But it is claimed that some have a much more ancient history. One story regarding the animal statues in particular is popular among the fishermen of the Bishui River, the Silvergrass harvesters of Dihua Marsh, and the old mining crowd. They say that in some corners of the land, ancient stone beasts wake at night in the cool of the fall and look around at a world that has slowly become alien to them. Hearing the sounds of frogs and insects greeting them, they respond with deep, soulful cries from their petrified throats. Then they roam around Liyue, inspecting once more the land they used to protect. To my knowledge, no one has ever witnessed a stone beast in motion firsthand. However, local residents who know the territory extremely well have long observed and accepted the phenomenon that the animal statues can change location and posture overnight. Meanwhile, light-sleeping campers often report hearing a sound in the middle of the night that is like flowing water, only much deeper in tone. As for where these stone beasts originally came from, the elders of Qingce Village say they are illuminated beasts who once fought alongside Rex Lapis in the Archon War. After the war ended, the tide subsided and peace was restored. The illuminated beasts were no longer required to serve as defenders of the common people, and one by one they retreated to more secluded parts of the country. There they lived free from concern for mortal affairs. But some illuminated beasts remembered with fondness the glorious days when they served under Rex Lapis, and they pined for the years they protected Liyue. Though they were not of the mortal realm, nor were they immortal: For them, too, life would one day come to an end. Thus, they beseeched Rex Lapis to turn their ephemeral flesh bodies into everlasting stone. The merciful Geo Archon granted their request and made them as such.\n\nVol. 2:\nA collection of folk stories, myths, and legends from Liyue. It's quite a page-turner. This segment is on ancient fictional stories. —Palace Beneath the Sea— The day had arrived. It was time to collect the bride. The Sea God looked majestic indeed as he sat center stage in his giant clam, holding in his hands the reins of two sea serpents. They stood as imposing as Mt. Tianheng before the royal carriage as their master accepted the gift of pearls from the village elders and welcomed his new bride aboard the carriage. In return, the village would receive the Sea God's blessing: a year free from tempests and tsunamis. The bride was whisked away to a place deep beneath the waves, far from home, far from the reveling crowds celebrating the festival, and far from her mother all alone. The Sea God took her along a corridor of great columns, formed from the skeleton of a dead whale, that led to a palatial gate adorned with shining pearls and iridescent shells. Finally, the young bride had arrived at the palace the Sea God had made for her. The palace that was to be her new home. \"It was not my plan to meddle in the affairs of common people,\" came the god's voice rippling through the water. It was a husband's attempt to console his bride. \"This place has served as a new home for many other young women, and it also became the place they spent their final days. Many of them were driven away from the village where they were born. For them, the ocean has provided safe refuge. Somewhere they could sleep peacefully without fear of being disturbed. Somewhere they could call home.\" But this young woman did not want a new home decorated with prize pearls and rare shells. The dazzling spectacle of the ocean floor — and the creatures that she knew lurked in the darkness — filled her not with peace, but with dread. Time went by, and the longer she stayed in her bewildering ocean chamber that knew not sunrise nor sunset, the more homesick she grew — and the frailer she became. Eventually, there came a day when the Sea God sensed what his young bride was feeling. Though he was saddened by her choice, he allowed her to go through with her decision. \"In the fallen world of the humans, there will come a day in your life when you regret this decision.\" The Sea God took the shell of a sea snail that adorned his waist and handed it to her as a parting gift. \"There will come a day that you blow into this shell, and it will sound like a horn. On that day, you shall return to this place.\" The young woman took the shell and returned to the land. The years went by, and soon she became a mother herself. As she went about her simple, peaceful life, the ocean palace seemed but a childhood dream. The dazzling sights and grotesque creatures would once in a while flood into her mind from the murky depths of her memory, but it was a rare occurrence, and she put them out of her mind. She lived like this year after year. Until one year, when the festival came once again, the village elders came to her home. They had come to take her daughter from her arms. It was then that she finally understood why the Sea God had spoken of her regret, and of her return, all those years ago. On the eve of the festival, she blew into the shell, and it sounded like a horn. The Sea God responded to the call, rising up from the billowing waves to greet the village. But his embrace was a tidal wave that engulfed the village, and took the villagers and elders in their sleep. Drawn by giant sea serpents, a colossal clam carriage came to a halt in front of her, dazzling her with its shimmering pearls. The mother took her daughter by the hand and boarded the Sea God's clam. It was just like she remembered from her childhood — only this time, the village she left behind now lay in ruins beneath the ocean waves.\n\nVol. 3:\nA collection of folk stories, myths, and legends from Liyue. It's quite a page-turner. This segment is on the origin of Wuwang Hill. —Wuwang— Hiding between the jagged peaks in the north of Mt. Qingce is a slope known as Wuwang Hill, a palpably ominous place and the setting of many tales of supernatural phenomena. It is rumored in Liyue that the spirits of the dead lurk within the woods on Wuwang Hill. They roam the perimeter of the decrepit village, wandering among the withering trees and rotting foliage, eternally yearning for things left unresolved in living years. These floating spirits often entice unsuspecting passers-by away from the main path and onto treacherous mountain tracks that lead them tumbling into a river or straight into an ambush of ravenous monsters. It is this phenomenon from which Wuwang Hill derives its name. Wuwang means \"prudence\" in the common tongue, and Wuwang Hill is said to be \"the hill where the prudent are punished.\" For even those travelers who do not act rashly or impulsively on their journey are doomed to be ensnared by the malevolence that lingers here like the mist in the mountain air. Both innocent villagers and ignorant visitors alike are susceptible to the deception of the Wuwang Hill spirits, which draw them deep into dark woods where thick mist blots out the sky and unknown dangers lurk in the shadows. There are many means by which these sinister spirits are able to deceive mortals. Some take the form of bereavement or grief, others of regret, manifesting as voices and visages of the deceased, the love of the departed, or the remorse of another party in an unresolved dispute. The traveler finds themselves compelled to heed the spirit's cry, and follows them into the depths of Wuwang. But Wuwang Hill was not always this way. Some signs of life remained there up until relatively recently, and in times gone by the village at the foot of the slope enjoyed a peaceful and leisurely existence, the chimneys always smoking and the lanterns always lit. That same village stands abandoned today... The buildings are in ruins and all that remains of the villagers is the indistinct murmuring from a realm beyond. There is a fable that is oft-repeated among the children of Qingce Village. It holds that the young people of Wuwang Hill, enchanted by the whale-like song of a faraway sea monster, all threw themselves into the gently flowing Bishui River in pursuit of false promises and childlike dreams. Along the river they floated, making their way to the Sea of Clouds, where they became one with the waves and lost all memory of the woods and their village on the hill... Their dreams, meanwhile, became the sea monster's song. Generation after generation of young people disappeared in this way, until in the end, the sole remaining residents of Wuwang Hill were old and gray. One by one, they left this mortal plane amidst sighs of grief. The bright lights of Liyue Harbor, Rex Lapis's pride and joy, burned ever brighter, while another neglected mountain village turned into a silent ghost town. But unlike the fleeting and fickle human mind, the ever-flowing ley lines remember all. Surging elemental energy takes on spirit form to recreate all the dreams, both fair and foul, of Wuwang Hill's erstwhile residents. Much like a mother who once lost a child and now searches desperately through their irretrievable past for a way to bring everything back, the ley lines — albeit unconsciously — repeatedly recreate the past and those who inhabited it. The way each looked, the way each child cried, the way the elderly would sigh in their twilight years. Each moment of joy, and each moment of sorrow. And like the hypnotic song of the great creatures of the deep sea, it unintentionally lures toward it any nostalgic soul who would dare trespass here.\n\nVol. 4:\nA collection of folk stories, myths, and legends from Liyue. It's quite a page-turner. This segment features the stories of Seelie living in the mountains. —Mountain Spirits— Many lone seelie are found floating in the mountain forests of Liyue. These glowing spirits are unfailingly found hovering in the mountain mist, in the ruins of ancient cities, or in crumbling, decrepit villages. Should a Vision-bearer draw near, the seelie will guide the way for them, leading them to long-hidden treasure or unfathomably ingenious mechanisms. The people of Liyue believe these tiny, silent spirits to be auspicious sightings, the souls either of departed adepti or unnamed benevolent gods of old. Others believe they are the echoes of strangers without kin, lingering in the mountains to guide lonely, lost visitors onto the path back home. Another old legend told in the mountain villages claims that there was once a time, before the adepti had come into being, when the seelie who meander in the mountains knew an altogether different existence, one in which they had beautiful physical forms and possessed great wisdom. That era, when the seelie roamed the mountains and strolled through the grand halls in the cities of old, is said to date back even further than the days when Rex Lapis fought bitterly against countless rival gods. At a far-flung moment in the distant past, the ancestor of the seelie met a traveler from afar, with whom they swore an oath of union witnessed by the three sisters of the Lunar Palace. Just thirty days later, a sudden disaster struck. The seelie and their lover fled into exile as the world collapsed around them, fleeing until the terrible calamity caught up with and seized them. Their cruel punishment was to be separated from each other for eternity and to have their memories wiped without a trace. The graceful but heartbroken seelie and the sisters grew more sullen and withdrawn with each passing day, to the point where their wondrous forms withered away, leaving fragments of their former selves scattered in the mountains and ruins, where they turned into tiny little life forms. They had forgotten so much, lost so much, and been stripped of their voices and wisdom, yet they continued to sing their same songs of grief. Because of this, still harboring a shred of the deep love they once had for their long-lost lover, they will act as guides to travelers who stop in the mountain mist, seeking to retrace their memories of an ancient story in long-abandoned ruins, disused makeup cabinets, and now-undecipherable poetry. Of course, these are nothing but clumsy, incoherent folk tales, wild and fantastical conjecture about what Liyue may have been like in the distant past before the time of Rex Lapis. Needless to say, such tales have no credibility whatsoever. The true origin of these sorrowful spirits that meander in the mountains is, however, still widely debated, and no consensus has ever been reached on the topic.\n\nVol. 5:\nA collection of folk stories, myths, and legends from Liyue. It's quite a page-turner. This segment is on the shared history of qilins and humans. —Qilin— Among the legends that circulate in the mountains of Liyue, the qilin are a type of noble and benevolent illuminated beast. Qilin often roam the mountain forests, but appear only on nights where starlight shines upon clear dew. For sustenance, they drink only spring water and eat only fragrant herbs. Qilin are gentle illuminated beasts, with grace and elegance flowing through their veins. It is said that qilin will never harm living things, refusing even to step on an insect or break a blade of grass. People believe that a qilin's characteristics, behavior, and their every movement is dictated by an age-old etiquette that has remained unchanged for a thousand years. Following the barbarous age of the Archon War, many adepti became unable to continue living among the clamorous world of mortals. As a result, and under the direction of Rex Lapis, they withdrew themselves from society to live in seclusion in the bamboo groves and mountains. No longer would they interfere in the human world, content instead to enjoy a realm of mountains and water and pursue their own interests. Yet some illuminated beasts there were that, over a thousand years of mortal cooperation, had cultivated deep friendships with ordinary humans. They decided to carry out the will of the Lord of Geo in the mortal realm, assisting human society with their adeptal powers and charity. Some hid in mountain hamlets, others walked the bustling city streets. They lived together and mixed with humankind, leaving behind unique bloodlines in Liyue Harbor. According to one folktale, as early as several thousand years ago, there were already those among the elegant qilin who had begun to grow deeply attached to the savage mortals. The tale tells of how in that barbaric era, the people wore clothes of water lotus and bay leaf. One night, a herb gatherer was bathing in a mountain pool, when to his surprise, a passing qilin began to eat the clothes that he had left by the water's edge. The illuminated beast was too young to understand human notions of shame and privacy and had yet to learn the conduct of illuminated beasts in the mortal realm. To make up for her crude behavior and to avoid startling the vulnerable mortal with her otherworldly adeptal appearance, she transformed into one of human bearing. As the pale light of the full moon fell onto the pool, she appeared before the herb gatherer. The young illuminated beast ultimately did not understand human notions of shame and privacy. She stood in that mountain forest, lit by cold moonlight and the glow of fireflies, clothed only in dewdrops and the lunar gleam. Together with the ignorant mortal she traveled, strolling happily among flowers and bamboo groves, revealing to him the mountain dwelling of the adepti, interpreting for him the language of the birds, sleeping lightly amid the cry of insects, sinking softly into shared and ancient dreams... As the herb gatherer began to stir at the first light of dawn, he awoke to find that the noble illuminated beast had vanished without a trace. As for how this tale unfolds, opinions vary widely. Some people say that one night, the qilin placed a bamboo basket outside the front door of the herb gatherer's home, before disappearing into the moonlit mist. When the herb gatherer came to the door, he found a child soundly asleep inside the basket. Others say that from that moment on the qilin lived together with the mortal, gave birth to children, and grew accustomed to human life. No matter the truth of the thousand-year-old matter, the elegant illuminated beasts continue to walk among the residents of Liyue, unseen among the sea of people, waiting for the day when Rex Lapis calls them forth once again.\n\nVol. 6:\nA collection of folk stories, myths, and legends from Liyue. It's quite a page-turner. This segment is on the Dunyu Ruins. —Hidden Jade— In the valley northwest of Liyue Harbor and south of Nantianmen lie many silent, ancient ruins. One of these areas is known as the Dunyu Ruins. This area is said to have already existed even before the time of the Archon Wars. According to old legends passed by word of mouth, \"Dunyu\" means \"the land to which beauteous jade flees.\" In a past beyond memory, when even Rex Lapis would still have been young, a star fell from the sky into the barren plains west of Liyue. These plains were transformed into a huge and deep chasm in the wake of that star's descent, and jade would emerge from within, beautiful and limitless, and it would become the foundation for a thousand years of industrial mining in Liyue thereafter. Legend has it that when that nameless star fell, a fragment of it broke off and crashed into the rocks in northern Lisha. As most know, wordless stones harbored soul and spirit, and in manners and times not witnessed by mortal eyes they watched and listened to the ley lines' pulses, the echoes of the alpine springs, and the slow but inexorable movements of the mountains. But unlike the ordinary but enduring stone of the earth, the fragments of the meteorite that fell from heaven had a proud and agitated temper. Later, when countless gods and rulers fought over the appointed celestial seats, and the very stars and abyss themselves faded, tragedy and evil embarred the breath of the waters and mountains. The fallen star could bear this no longer, and heedless of the great chasm's persuasions to stay it leaped away, away towards the heavens. As it returned to the skies, the heavenly jade left behind a deep pit, within which humans would build great cities and mighty fortresses, finding refuge and shutting themselves in with the leftover inheritance of that fallen star. Over the tumult and storms of the next few thousand years, the redoubts of the Dunyu Valley stood tall and maintained prosperous relations with Liyue Harbor up till 500 years ago. But with the coming of the black calamity and the rise of the Abyss, the residents of Dunyu sealed the ancient city and departed for other lands. None know why these refugees chose to shut the gates of their home, and even the millennia-old adepti and yaksha are silent on this matter. And so, the sealed fortresses became giant, silent tombs, with naught left in them but the sound of pond water and the wind whistling through empty halls — and thusly, too, did they come to be called the \"Dunyu Ruins\" by the people of Liyue." } ]

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nA compilation of stories and legends of various knights-errant in Liyue. Some of them have been told for a long time but are still popular among the people. —The Hermit— The stone forest of Jueyun Karst is a mysterious place engulfed in mist all year round. Myths and legends abound among the herb gatherers, telling of adepti and evil spirits. Once, there was a herb seller named Qiangu who went to Jueyun Karst to investigate the distribution of medicinal herbs there. Unbeknownst to him, a group of brigands had followed him into the mountains. They waited for cover of night, and when he let his guard down they struck. He was knocked unconscious. The brigands grabbed his possessions, bound him from head to foot, and left him alone in the valley. Deep in the night, the herb seller finally awoke. He struggled against the ropes that bound him, and cried out for help. But the vast mountains did not respond. The only sounds to be heard in the thick mountain forest, save for the echoes of his own pitiful wails, were the faint cries of the birds disturbed by them. Qiangu sank into despair and sighed with sorrow. Just when he thought all hope was lost, a deep voice came rumbling through the mountains, cutting through the cries of nocturnal birds and the whistling of the wind. \"Arise!\" \"I am unable to!\" The herb seller protested amidst floods of tears. His cry frightened off a fox that was prowling in the night. But as he tensed his body once more against the ropes that bound him, he discovered they had completely loosened. The herb seller stood up. No sooner had he arisen than the disembodied voice, without pausing to hear the expression of gratitude that would be customary in such situations, spoke to him once more: \"Ascend!\" As instructed, Qiangu ascended the mountain, following the winding dirt track to the summit as the horizon began to glow in the east. From the summit he saw a twisted and withered pine growing on a cliff, its branches sprawling outwards as if trying to escape into the air. The gentle creaking of the branches drew his attention to the ropes that hung from them — at the other end of which hung the brigands from the night before, bound in like fashion from head to foot. Then he saw the old man whose voice he had heard, his hair and beard as white as snow, sat atop a curiously shaped rock as if it were his throne. The old man took one look at Qiangu's disheveled appearance and grinned mischievously before returning his possessions to him intact. Qiangu inquired as to the old man's origins, but he replied that he belonged to the mountains, his home being wherever he roamed and his bed being wherever he laid his head. Qiangu sought to thank the old man with all manner of courtesies and compensations, but he dismissed them all. After much deliberation, he took just a single Mora to one day give as a wedding gift to Qiangu's beloved daughter, in order that he might attend the wedding feast. Out of disaster seemed to spring forth good fortune, for following this incident Qiangu's store grew ever more popular, while word of the wealthy herb seller himself spread far and wide. Some say that after making his fortune, he returned to Jueyun Karst in search of the old man, but found nothing save for a few abandoned tents and empty wine bottles. Some claim to have spotted the old man at Yaoguang Shoal, disguised as a miner and darting around like the wind between the precipices. Others insist he is a fisherman who spends his time saving those who become stranded at sea. The stories are too many to count, and yet no one knows the old man's name. Lamentably, age and ill health have now ushered in the twilight years of Qiangu's life while his beloved daughter remains unmarried. Perhaps the day will still come that the old man from the mountain attends the wedding feast, but that day seems impossibly far in the future for Qiangu.\n\nVol. 2:\nA compilation of stories and legends of various knights-errant in Liyue. Some of them have been told for a long time but are still popular among the people. The land of Liyue was not always ruled by Rex Lapis. Many gods walked the land in that distant epoch. The area known as the Guili Plains was once an area lush with Glaze Lilies. But it was beset by troubles on every side, forcing its residents of old to flee, while the prosperity of Liyue Harbor would attract many of those who took their place. But even so, many tales of gallantry continue to circulate in these wilds. In the tales of traveling merchants and porters, there was once a mysterious figure that would surface in the dead of night upon the plains: it was a maiden in a long indigo robe, striding along the shallows of the Bishui River, the moon wrapping her face with silver light as the night wind carried her words up to the shimmering, sleepless stars. According to guests at Wangshu Inn, only those who get lost amid the firefly-lights on summer nights might see her, and only those who can discern the scent of Glaze Lilies amid the dancing lights and Seelie floating in the dark could find her tracks. Some guessed that she might be a lost illuminated beast, or a sole servant of some long-dead god, gently mourning her master only at night. And some also believed her to simply be a gallant hero, like those who spurn civilization, hiding their real names. No one knows how her story began, but it ended with the tale of a certain hunter. But unlike the stories of those merchants, the hunter encountered her brandishing a sword against several perilous shadows under the merciless moonlight. After an elegant and sharp dance, the maiden was nowhere to be seen, with naught left but a pile of bloodied dust. The next day, some inquisitive citizens would discover the corpses of Millelith and land surveyors by the river. After this, no matter how many search parties the Ministry of Civil Affairs would send, no one saw that riverside maiden ever again. Perhaps that deadly dance was the fruit of some vendetta, or perhaps that woman had herself been some great brigand. Or perhaps that matter does not require any rhyme or reason at all. Heroes are heroes, after all, drawing their blades for reasons beyond common comprehension. But as the lights of Liyue Harbor consumed the deserted countryside villages day by day, this legend too would slowly disappear. Still, the legends hold that the riverbank that maiden had used to roam remains filled with blooming Glaze Lilies to this day." } ]

[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me what you know about 'Rex Incognito' from Genshin Impact" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "'Rex Incognito' is a readable entry in the Genshin Impact universe. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nA Liyue fantasy novel that tells the tales of Rex Lapis' incognito excursions in the mortal realm. Set in an age when the treasures of the world flocked forth, fact merges with fiction and both blend with old dreams in this charming tale set in the commercial port of Liyue. Liyue is a land where all kinds of rare and exotic treasures congregate, and where there are precious treasures, one is sure to also find those with a discerning eye. The very first owner of Xigu Antiques — the unconventional collector, Min'gui — was just such an individual. Xigu Antiques of Feiyun Slope was frequented by well-to-do customers. Closed during daylight hours, it only opened to customers once the moon began to rise in the night sky. The shop's customers were anything but ordinary: they were the wealthy and leisurely, people with outstanding taste. A meticulously crafted timepiece from Fontaine, incense from Sumeru, a wine goblet once owned by an aristocrat of old Mondstadt, a wooden stool whose surface was once graced by the buttocks of an adeptus for all of one hour, a delicate jade teacup from which the Lord of Geo once supped a sip of tea, a priceless celadon vase that Liyue's neighbor deity, the Anemo Archon, once accidentally knocked to the ground, shattering it to pieces... All these and more were laid out for the customers to peruse at their leisure, each item just waiting for that one person with whom it shared a certain affinity. One night, a wealthy young man who was walking by happened to pause in front of the shop, and began carefully examining the items on the shelves. The owner was struck by his long, black robes, dark and solemn as the looming mountain peaks, and by his eyes, which were the color of amber. This was no ordinary young man. This Min'gui could tell with one look. \"Welcome to Xigu Antiques,\" she said. \"Please peruse at your leisure, and let me know if you find something you like.\" Her soft voice broke the dead silence of the night. \"Ah...? Oh, I'm sorry.\" The young man smirked, and spoke in a subtly coy manner. \"I'm just rather taken with this exquisite counterfeit.\" The item that had caught his eye was a damaged jade plaque. The face exposed to the night sky was the one on which the pattern was slightly more intact, and as the moonlight shone down, it seeped into the intricate blemishes in the jade, revealing them, and cascaded down into the ravines produced by the crisscrossing texture on the plaque's surface. The severe wear and tear on the front and the disintegration around the perimeter made it impossible to discern the words and images that had once been written on it. By all accounts, it seemed to have lived a turbulent life. \"Counterfeit, you say? What makes you so sure?\" Min'gui was quite used to customers making such provocative claims. But this young man spoke so bluntly and bitingly that she could not help but feel aggravated by his accusation. Added to this was the fact that this particular item had been snagged by an adventurer from an abandoned palace deep in the heart of the abyss, who had then barely made it back out of that place alive. She recalled how she had haggled relentlessly with the adventurer to acquire the piece, and how in the end it had still cost her the better part of her fortune. If this truly was nothing more than a counterfeit, not only would it imply that she had lost an immense portion of her wealth, but it would also mean irrevocable damage to the reputation of Xigu Antiques as connoisseurs of quality. Min'gui knew what she had to do: Not only must she somehow get rid of this calamitous customer who threatened to ruin her entire business, but she must also find a way to sell this jade plaque to him in the process. \"Please, continue,\" she said. \"I would hope that you can give a detailed appraisal.\" ———————— \"As we all know, Teyvat was plunged into chaos two and a half millennia ago when the gods declared war on each other, the ensuing conflict spreading to all people in all corners of the land. Teyvat may not have been divided into the same seven nations we know today back in that age, but then, just as now, the people had their own settlements, cities and civilizations...\" \"Gods whose names have now long since been forgotten were once venerated, worshiped, even adored by their people. Our forebears took pearls and shells from the sea, jade from the mountains, rocks from the plains, and salt crystals from the earth, each to build idols in the form of their gods.\" \"Jade plaques of this kind are relics of that era. They belonged to an ancient tribe who worshiped Rex Lapis... though, of course, the Geo Lord probably did not yet go by the name Rex Lapis at that time.\" \"This was an age when the people watched their gods clash in bitter battles before their very eyes. Rex Lapis would not establish the currency of the seven nations and cast the first Mora coins for quite some time. So the tribes traded using pieces of ore they would chance across from time to time, with idols made in the likeness of the Geo Lord to ensure price stability.\" \"As you can see... mortal wisdom is quite a fascinating thing. They were making their own way in the world even before Rex Lapis had made provisions for them to do so.\" The young man paused as if to further contemplate the observation he had just made. He stood there, cloaked in a veil of silver moonlight, which somehow served to make him ever so slightly more diminutive in stature. \"This type of jade plaque is a rare find in this day and age. Most of them are buried in riverbeds up in the mountains. And since each one is hand carved, they are all unique... That is why they typically sell for astronomical prices. To claim that they are priceless would not be an exaggeration.\" \"So, it is quite a shame indeed that the one you display on your shelf is a recent counterfeit. By recent, I mean that it was probably made in your father's generation at the earliest.\" \"There is an industry saying: 'The jade without blemish is no jade at all.' This jade, for instance, has remarkably few imperfections, and the translucency is too good to be true... All of which points to the fact that it is unlikely to be a product of our forebears' making.\" \"As a side point, I would also add that the image carved onto this jade is that of a woman. This is a highly unusual thing to see among similar relics from the era in question.\" The young man held the plaque up to the moonlight to inspect it in more detail. \"Although there are plenty of rumors to this effect, the claim that Rex Lapis once took the form of a woman is not attested to by any of the historical records, and there is no physical evidence of it ever occurring...\" Though young, the man had the air of an old and infuriating pedant about him. \"Ah, well this is where you're wrong...\" Min'gui smiled faintly, much as a fox does when toying with an inexperienced hunter. \"Perhaps you'd be willing to listen to my story before making your final verdict?\" The shop owner narrowed her eyes and began the process of reeling out her story...\n\nVol. 2:\nA Liyue fantasy novel that tells the tales of Rex Lapis' incognito excursions in the mortal realm. Between lofty mountain peaks where bounteous jade lies beneath, substantial ideas and empty lies are suddenly shown up side by side. Back in the age when the gods still walked upon the earth, the deity whom we now worship as Rex Lapis was but one among many. In those days, the rumor among the common folk was that the Lord of Geo was a cold and unfeeling god. His conduct was just in all things, and his judgments were rational and dispassionate, but he lacked normal human sentiment. Like the rocks, he was without warmth or softness. Despite this, people revered and placed their faith in him all the same. This was because his laws served to guarantee that trade was fair and that life was safe and orderly. The Geo Archon grew in strength and stature because of the people's belief in him. But even gods are powerless to control the beliefs and doubts of their mortal followers. And even a god who is the guardian of justice has no means of instilling the words of his rules and regulations into the heart of every individual. In Mingyun Village, there was an incorrigibly irreverent jade craftsman who loved to jest. Whatever job he took on, he would complete it in the most unorthodox means imaginable, and would always finish the job on the very last day before it was due. If a customer ordered a statue of a hunter dominating a ferocious beast, they would receive a miniature statue of a distressed boar running for its life. And when the customer demanded an explanation, he would tell them: \"When a formidable hunter closes in on a fierce beast, he may not show his face, but his imposing presence is enough to frighten the beast to its core.\" If a customer ordered a carving in the likeness of a powerful and mighty ruler, they would probably receive a statue of a majestic throne. And when asked about it, he would reply: \"No ruler takes the throne for more than one hundred years. The throne has more longevity than he.\" The craftsman quickly developed a reputation as an eccentric in Mingyun Village. But the wealthy merchants in the prosperous commercial port of Liyue Harbor were most amused and were only too willing to place orders with him — if only to experience for themselves what it was like to be on the receiving end of this mischievous man's antics. —————— One night, a woman came to his workshop. She was dressed in a long, slender black gown and her eyes shone a brilliant amber in the light of the crescent moon hanging in Liyue's sky that night. The craftsman had never met her before, but he quickly found himself deep in conversation with her. Strangely, she seemed acquainted with every vein of ore and deposit of jade in the village. She talked about the wonders of the world like they were her sisters, and spoke of jade and precious metals with a fondness one would normally reserve for their beloved daughter... The only topics she brushed over were culture, customs, and social interactions. Perhaps she was not wise to the ways of the world, or perhaps she did not wish to discuss them. Regardless, there was certainly something out of the ordinary about this woman. At least, the craftsman thought so. \"I would like for you to make me a jade plaque bearing the likeness of the Lord of Geo on its surface.\" The woman finally stated her request once their broad-reaching and lengthy conversation had reached its end, and she was all but ready to leave. \"But I have one condition: You may not conjure up our Lord's likeness from your imagination. You must carve the true likeness of our Lord relying on what you have seen with your own two eyes.\" \"Otherwise,\" she said, \"I'm not paying a single Mora.\" And so a deal was struck between the two, with an agreed turnaround of three days. On the first day, the craftsman dined and drank with his good friends. He did not take a single new job on that day. On the second day, the craftsman climbed a mountain to view the jade there, not seeing a single customer or acquaintance for the entire day. Only on the third day did the craftsman close the doors of his workshop and begin carving away at the uncut jade, working from dawn till dusk, until finally it was complete. When the crescent moon once again began to rise in the Liyue night sky, the amber-eyed woman returned and approached his doorstep. The craftsman proudly handed over the fruits of his labor: A jade plaque bearing the likeness of their god, in female form. The woman was puzzled. She frowned, and demanded an explanation. And this was the explanation that he gave: \"On the first day, I sought counsel from every wise and learned person that I know, and learned the principles of our Lord and how they work. But this was just the skeleton.\" \"On the second day, I visited the mountains and spent a whole day observing the mountain rocks, listening to the ebb and flow of the elements, and pondering all that our Lord had created. But this was just the flesh.\" \"On the third day, I covered both my eyes and began to carve from the heart, starting when it felt like the time to start, stopping when it felt like the time to stop. At last, this was the spirit.\" The craftsman smiled awkwardly, then added: \"But even I'm not sure why it came out like this.\" The woman tilted the item back and forth in her hand, as if contemplating something. \"Interesting,\" she finally responded. \"Incidentally, this reminds me of another story...\" She looked up at him with her amber-colored eyes and began the process of reeling out her story...\n\nVol. 3:\nA Liyue fantasy novel that tells the tales of Rex Lapis' incognito excursions in the mortal realm. Iron-clad concepts of rules or equity fade into nothingness in this fantastical tale. Liyue is a land where all kinds of rare and exotic treasures congregate, and where there are precious treasures, one is sure to also find those with a discerning eye. At the height of Liyue Harbor's prosperity, a myriad goods and treasures flowed endlessly in and out of the land like the rising and falling tides. That age belonged, as does the current one, to the wealthy merchants and ship owners. It was an age in which the ones who reigned supreme were those who dared wrestle with the tumultuous tides of the market and the wrathful beasts of the ocean. Likewise, then as now, the port was constantly abuzz with sailors and laborers. Legend has it that Rex Lapis, when appearing in mortal form, does not always take the form of a distinguished gentleman fraternizing with the well-to-do of Yujing Terrace. Sometimes, it is said, he takes the form of a commoner and mingles with the miners, the fishermen, the sailors, and the peddlers. Back in that day, there was a certain fishing vessel owner who was notoriously harsh and critical in his temperament. He was always rude towards those who worked for him, and whenever something wasn't to his satisfaction, he would jump to conclusions and start scolding them, even docking their wages, without giving them the opportunity to explain their side of the story. One day, the fishing vessel owner met a young man. He had just been hired by the fishing vessel owner, and his attire was indistinguishable from that of any other seafarer of the day: a loose-fitting brown shirt and trousers, and a bandana around his forehead. But from his tanned skin and the rugged, karst-like contours of his facial features, it was clear that he was a commoner from Qingce Village who had come down from the mountains into the city in an attempt to reverse his fortunes. Like most mountain-dwellers of his day, he was a simple-minded and unsophisticated fellow. But what dismayed his new boss more than this was his reluctance to go anywhere near the catches of the slimy and tentacled variety. \"You don't make money by being choosy! Who do you think you are, lord of the manor?\" This was the only justification the ship owner gave for docking the newly hired mountain man's pay. The youngster simply smiled bashfully and continued with his work. This set the tone for many of the interactions between the two. But one day, the youngster responded instead with a question: \"Everyone has likes and dislikes, so why should we do the things we hate the most?\" The fishing vessel owner was taken completely by surprise by this random question. Incensed, he slapped his simpleton apprentice on the head and barked back at him: \"Them's the rules of the world, you moron! Listen good: You'll get yourself nowhere in this world if you won't do a job you don't like!\" \"But maybe that wasn't what Rex Lapis meant when he made the rules...\" \"Shut up, you idiot!\" \"Hmm, maybe you'll understand better if I tell you a story.\" The young man's eyes shone like amber from the mountain mines in the light of the setting sun. \"Oh? So you're a storyteller now, are you?\" At the thought of this simpleton from a sleepy mountain village telling him a story, the fishing vessel owner found himself suddenly quite curious. \"Go on then... But I expect you to work and talk at the same time!\" A mischievous smile flickered across the youngster's face, and a twinkle flashed in his eye. \"Well then, let me tell you a story about a certain jade plaque...\" And so, the young man proceeded to tell his tale. His boss listened so intently that he never noticed the anonymous pair of hands that were sneaking into his pocket — hands which subsequently pilfered the money he had made from all the wages he had docked before and which then distributed the money back out to the laborers.\n\nVol. 4:\nA Liyue fantasy novel that tells the tales of Rex Lapis' incognito excursions in the mortal realm. In an age when scrutiny was laid upon the treasures of the world, one humble witticism was all it took to expose all lies. It was a time when countless exotic curios and items would flow into Liyue Harbor. This night, Min'gui, mistress of Xigu Antiques, was researching relics and narrating ancient stories with an unnamed son of nobility. The focal point of their debate was a jade plaque. As many knew, creating a counterfeit jade item was not a matter that cost much capital in Liyue. Creating a beautiful fake might be a shade more expensive, but it was a cost that most merchant houses could absorb. The real trick lay in weaving an intricate but spurious tale. Like a jade smith wandering deep into the mountains, or the youth of the fisherfolk whose habits are strange, those considered deviant often in fact strike closer to the heart of things. Rex Lapis laid down rules and contracts, but never forced the ordinary folk by his authority to live by them as a perfect template, for he knew that laws and stipulations were a means, not the end. The timeless balance lay, in truth, in a person's awareness and their ability to make choices for themselves. The harsh boss of the fishing vessel did not understand this principle, and so earned the fear and mockery of his hired help. As humans are, so too are antiques. Artistry, quality, rarity and perfection are limiting factors, yes, but the true worth of a relic lies in its backstory. The picky young noble seemed not to wholly perceive this idea, and so had no qualms about calling the jade plaque a fake, denigrating its value. But if all of Xigu Antiques' treasures were to be scrutinized with such a piercing and empirical eye, their worth would have been ground into dust. Like the tears of a maiden for her captain, which became eternal pearls, or a mortal king who himself carved a portrait of his deceased queen, before sealing his own soul into it... These stories, these legends that should have faded with time were preserved, and thus teemed with life under the outer husk of those relics. \"A fine story. I'll take this fake, then.\" The noble son nodded, his golden eyes smiling. \"After all that, you still think this is a fake?\" Min'gui sighed lightly. \"Of course,\" The young noble could not help but smile and indeed had never seemed happier since entering her shop. \"After all, the story you told about jade plaques being ancient currency — it's nonsense. Nonsense that I made up.\"" } ]

An entertaining novel quite popular in Fontaine. It tells a story about the thief \"Phantom Gentleman\" Fantomas Robben and the famous detective Chesterton's first confrontation. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Any similarities to persons living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nCall me Poiret. Some years ago — never mind how long precisely — having little or no Mora in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me outside of the city, I traveled to the Court of Fontaine and entered the care of my uncle Chesterton, the famous private detective. To my surprise, he immediately tasked me with assisting him in tracing Robben, the mysterious Phantom Thief... The Court should not be so deserted at midnight, and yet, at this point in time, there was nary a person to be seen on the streets outside Mr. Pierre's mansion. Only the autumn night wind echoed beneath the cold moon like a lamenting harp. In the shadows, the police and journalists watched the well-lit mansion a stone's throw away like hawks, waiting for the arrival of a certain \"esteemed guest.\" Like everyone else involved, I, too, was hidden in the shadow of a street corner. The long wait was beginning to bore me... \"This is taking too long. Will Robben really show up?\" The lady journalist from the Steambird seemed to hold a different opinion about this matter, and rebutted me immediately: \"Of course he will! He's sent a message ahead, claiming that he shall steal that Iridescent Starstone Brooch — he's not going to go back on his word! The only question, really, is what sort of cool method he'll use to arrive at the scene this time...\" \"Hmm? You seem to be...\" \"Of course I am! It would be more surprising for someone to not be enamored with the Phantom Thief!\" And just as the journalist was excitedly regaling me with tales of this rogue's \"great deeds,\" the clock struck midnight exactly. Suddenly, there was a great explosion, and the mansion lights died all at once. Before we could adapt to the sudden darkness, a great light blazed forth from the mansion window, rendering the night day for a few moments. Having recovered their sight, the police filed in, and I trailed after, stepping into Mr. Pierre's collection room. There was nothing on the dais — the Iridescent Starstone Brooch was gone. Both the roars of rage and cries of dismay seemed washed out and meaningless in the face of this obvious truth. The hubbub of the crowd and the remnant sounds of the explosion formed a cacophonic mix that made my head hurt. There was nothing for me to do, so as my uncle instructed, I pretended to investigate the scene before returning home. Before I left, I heard the sound of a shutter behind me, and the lady journalist's most unprofessional gushing: \"Ah! The legendary Phantom Thief Robben makes yet another extravagant exit! A wonderful performance indeed!\"\n\nVol. 2:\nLuckily, the crime scene was not far from my uncle's house, and I dragged my exhausted self back there. He did not react to my return, instead continuing to read at his usual spot, just as always. \"I imagine that The Steambird's headline tomorrow will be quite a riot.\" \"You don't seem worried at all,\" I hung my coat up, unfastened my collar button, and sank into a comfy spot on the sofa, before giving him all the details of the incident. \"...The explosion was not intended to destroy anything within the mansion, but to cover up a different part of the Phantom Thief's plan. He was hiding the sound of a clockwork meka's movements underneath the loud sounds of the explosion.\" \"A clockwork meka? He'd be hard-pressed to escape with something that large, so it must have been ditched somewhere nearby. And we may yet find some clues off of it... It seems that this Robben is not as clever as claimed — methinks we shall close the net around him soon.\" \"That is no certain thing. Just as the explosion was only used to hide the sound of the clockwork meka, the meka itself could also be little more than bait.\" \"This is so complicated.\" I ran my hands through my messy hair. \"And what about the brooch?\" \"It's still in the mansion.\" My uncle paused for a second. \"All these tricks point to a single goal — convincing everyone that the brooch is already gone. No one could ever imagine now that the 'stolen' item is actually still on-site.\" \"After that, all he needs to do is to fabricate some identity that will grant him access to the mansion — in which case, he can swipe the brooch without raising any alarms.\"\n\nVol. 3:\n\"I see. What a cunning fellow...\" My uncle stared at me with obvious interest, as if waiting for me to continue. Seeing that, I took a deep breath and started explaining my deductions. \"As you have said, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. So with your hypothesis in mind, everyone at the scene could be guilty — and in the worst case, everyone could be involved. Robben the Phantom Thief may, in fact, be a group rather than a person...\" I recalled everyone back there, trying to remember every trivial suspicious thing. \"Ms. Leblanc from The Steambird is definitely an admirer of Robben. Well, I did examine her journalistic credentials, but forging identification papers should be easy for him.\" \"Mr. Chandler from the Maison Gardiennage left the scene for a time, and did not return till the theft had already happened. He was incredibly infuriated, but on further consideration, that might also have been an act.\" \"Madame Christie from the Marechaussee Phantom has been stressing to everyone the possibility of Robben using a clockwork meka. Considering your hypothesis, this could in fact be a deliberate red herring.\" ... \"Well, who do you think? Amongst all these people, who is the most likely to be the culprit?\" Having evaluated everyone for the possibility of guilt, I asked my uncle this question with much care. \"You have keen eyes indeed.\" My uncle put his pipe down and stood up, his steel cane glinting coolly in the moonlight. \"However, you've missed something... something most vital to the case.\" I was stunned for a moment. He raised the cane. \"You — the gentleman who came to see the uncle he has never met, claiming to be Poiret — were in the crowd back then, too. Am I not right, Mr. Robben?\"" } ]

A tattered scroll containing information related to the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual. Some pages seem to bear the cinnabar seal of some shrine. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nSacred Sakura Cleansing Summary:\n... \"Seek first forgiveness from Narukami in the skies above, and then from Watatsumi on the land below. Then, recite prayers to quench the gods' anger.\" The aforementioned ritual must be carried out before any sacrifices, exorcisms, blessings or spell-rites can take place. The same holds true for this Cleansing Ritual. The Thunder Sakura were born from grafted Sacred Sakura branches. They are offshoots of Narukami's own spirit and connect the Grand Shrine to all others. In those days, catastrophe rocked the heavens and demons roamed the earth. The land was defiled, ferocious foes abounded, and small devils wreaked havoc. Thus, the branches were broken off at the Grand Shrine and transplanted across the land to cleanse the filth. Years passed, and damage accumulated. The Cleansing Ritual must thus be performed to calm the chaos. The Thunder Sakura purification must take place once every 60 years. The ritual may also be divided into a minor and major cleansing. After performing the minor cleansing a few times, the major cleansing must then be carried out. During the minor cleansing, one must first seek forgiveness from sky and land, tie up a Shimenawa to form a barrier, and recite the \"kashikomi.\" Next, all the filth must be sealed up inside the barrier and the poisoned root nodules must be isolated from any mortal dwelling. Finally, a ward must be used to suppress all the filth. This must be performed separately in five different places on Narukami Island. The purpose of this minor cleansing ritual is to isolate the defilement and thus procure some years of peace. During the major cleansing, one must first seek forgiveness from sky and land. Then five wards representing the eyes, the mouth, the nose, the hands and the feet must be retrieved, destroying the barriers created by the minor cleansing in the process. The filth must then be eradicated by a powerful spell. The purpose of the major cleansing ritual is to wipe out the defilement and to completely eradicate the filth. This is the end of the summary. The details are as follows: (The rest of this text has been rendered unreadable by abrasion, contamination, and other damage.)" } ]

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nSangonomiya Chronicles:\nSangonomiya was once an ocean abyss, until the Great Serpent came, forming a vortex with its spiral movements, and fashioning the coral into an island. Thus the people of Sangonomiya named their island Watatsumi, meaning \"god of the sea,\" for the Great Serpent was their god. The inhabitants of Watatsumi call themselves the people of the sea and worship the Great Serpent as the Orobashi no Mikoto. On Watatsumi Island, the shrine is the seat of government, and there are no commissioners appointed by the Shogunate. All business, great and small, is conducted by the shrine maidens. The head shrine maiden, or Divine Priestess, is the head of government and ceremonial affairs. During the Archon War, Her Excellency the Almighty Raiden Ogosho brought all of Inazuma under Her unified rule. The masses bowed down in fear and awe and each was content with their lot, else they were annihilated. No longer did any covet that to which they were not entitled. The Great Serpent, Orobashi no Mikoto, had always remained in the western region and respected the boundary between itself and the Narukami, and the two had lived in peace. But now, it suddenly transgressed the boundary and invaded the east without warning. The war was brutal, and brought great suffering to the people. The two sides fought bitterly on what is now known as Yashiori Island, with many casualties and injuries on both sides. Her Excellency's cherished tengu general, Sasayuri, was among those who lost their lives. Finally, the Great Serpent was slain by the Ogosho where its remains now lie on Yashiori Island. Thereafter, Sangonomiya sent envoys to announce surrender, and they have recognized the Inazuma Shogunate as the legitimate and supreme ruler ever since." } ]

Resolute, she descended upon the grand palace of (...) with the intention of testing the princess's wisdom. Countless maids, servants, and escorts surrounded the ever-gleaming princess, All dressed in fine linen and silk, like thousands of daytime stars wreathed around the only shining moon. (Herbad of Haravatat Tafazzoli's Remarks: There is a mistranslation here — The word \"silk\" in the last sentence should be translated as \"a textile that no one had ever seen before\" so as not to lead the reader to confuse it with Liyue's regional specialty. Additionally, the \"grand palace\" mentioned in the second sentence is not a true \"palace\" in the original text, nor does it refer to any actual \"building.\" Rather, it refers to \"a land where the divine is present.\" It would seem that the researchers of Vahumana who undertook the translation of this volume did not really understand the language of that era, but I shall earnestly annotate this document all the same.) ...The sweet fragrance lingered on the princess on that (hedge? garden? battlefield?), Like a stream winding around the shattered silver moonlight under the shade of a tree. From ancient times till now, none have ever beheld such beauty as this, Just as none have ever witnessed the descent of morning frost in the seventh month. (Herbad of Haravatat Tafazzoli's Remarks: The word in the first sentence, of which the meaning cannot be determined for the time being, could also be translated as \"farmland\" or \"cemetery\". Herbad of Vahumana Yarshater's Remarks: Many thanks for your comments, Master Tafazzoli. Now we're even more confused as to who the author of this book is writing about.) ...Thus, the Mistress of Pushpavatika spoke: \"Praise be to the Winged One, lord over all the kingdoms of the land.\" \"I am a spirit created at the beginning, I am a flickering illusion, I am the shimmering light that flows from the eyes of the creator.\" \"People in far-flung lands sing praises of your wisdom. I wonder then if you could help me to unravel something that has long bewildered me?\" \"I will give you these spices, gold, and precious stones as a token of my appreciation if you can solve my three riddles.\" That princess of (...) answered thusly: \"Praise be to the Winged One, the truth that rules over all the kingdoms of the land.\" \"I am the owner of yesterday and the master of tomorrow morning, but never have I seen beauty and elegance such as yours.\" \"Mistress of Pushpavatika, whatever doubts you may harbor in your mind, you may raise them with me without reservation.\" \"For these spices, gold, and precious stones, even when added together, cannot compare to the value of imparting knowledge.\"\n\nVol. 2:\nThus, the Mistress of Pushpavatika spoke again: \"Benevolent Princess, if your sincerity is true,\" \"Then allow me to recite the first riddle.\" \"What is cold as the dead while alive,\" \"Yet gives warmth upon death?\" That princess of (...) answered thusly: \"You speak of the fragile rose of late spring. Even when covered in thorns, her beauty shines through.\" \"Her flowers plucked to make perfume, her stems snipped into the wicks of oil lamps.\" \"Lovers throughout history have been smitten by her, and even the king in red admires her beauty.\" \"But the rose has never pined for anyone. She merely withers with the new moon and morning dew.\" The Mistress of Pushpavatika secretly approved, yet her beautiful face remained as calm as ever. Taking a casual step forward, she recited the second riddle.

Bowing ever so slightly, she recited her third riddle. Thus said the Mistress of Pushpavatika: \"O wise Princess, you have grasped the secrets between the stars and abyss.\" \"But there are more things in this world than the transient — for some things are eternal in their brilliance.\" \"O wise Princess, if your wisdom is truly as the legends of the people say,\" \"Please answer my final question as you did my second riddle.\" \"What cannot stop arrows, yet can stop destruction,\" \"Cannot destroy armor, yet can destroy cities,\" \"Does not submit to envoys from above, nor kingdoms down below,\" \"What can neither gods nor demons, for all their might, prevail over?\" That princess of (...) answered thusly: \"You speak of endless wisdom, it is what protects the civilization of (...).\" \"It will be reborn with (...), and remain eternal like (...).\" \"Even if the sands of time swirl beneath its feet, it will still remain like (...) ten million years after.\" \"The people will rejoice because of its (...), and it will (...) because of them.\" (Herbad of Haravatat Tafazzoli's Remarks: The omissions here are not intentional.

The remaining words cannot be inferred at this time. Herbad of Vahumana Yarshater's Remarks: ...You didn't tell me any of this at the time, huh?) The princess had answered all three riddles, and no secrets could stymie her. The Mistress of Pushpavatika could not help but feel utmost admiration toward the princess. Thus, the Mistress of Pushpavatika spoke: \"O benevolent, wise, and eternal Princess,\" \"Your wisdom does far surpass the legends.\" \"Blessed are your kin, fortunate are your people,\" \"For they can be by your side, heeding your teachings.\" ...And so the two princesses forged a strong alliance, and also with the king of (Blood?

Mom and Dad always tell me to know right from wrong, but the reality is that we are always choosing the lesser of two evils. My girlfriend has decided to break up with me. Not only that, but she also got me fired by telling my supervisor that I have a gambling addiction. Funny how I actually don't have much money to burn because I have protection fees to pay. Failure to do so and anything could happen to my parents. My parents, however, think I am a loser who could neither find a serious job nor save up any Mora. That's rather ironic, considering who I am doing this for... How is it my fault? If it is, I blame myself for my incompetence to find a way out after all the struggles and also my lack of courage to end it once and for all. Forget it. Just hand them the money when they arrive. After that I really need to think about how to earn some Mora, or I'll only have seagrass on the dinner table in the future. OK, time to choose between the worse and the worst. A falling blade, or a flying stone — which one is less painful? \"Bzzzzz—\" I've been hearing strange noises. What's going on... Is the thunder going to strike? ... I wake up not knowing how long I've been unconscious. All I remember is the sharp pain shooting through my body before I passed out. \"It doesn't feel very painful... What!?\" I scream upon hearing the voice. Is this my voice? \"Ah, ah—\" So I'm not dreaming. I lift my arm and see pale, soft skin covered in exquisite fabric. This is definitely not my body, but to arrive at this conclusion requires a bold logical leap that my brain isn't yet ready to take. Because it simply doesn't make any sense. I try to stand up to have a better view of my clothes. Every detail is brimming with luxury. The clothes are befitting of the one holding the highest authority. Could it be... \"Where is that brat... Huh? This is... the Raiden Shogun!?\" The very title itself bears weight. Ah, yes. I got reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun. The Kairagi who came to collect debts have already stood in a formation. Although I cannot see their faces, their gestures convey their level of alertness and also fear. I've never seen them like this. \"Come on! I—It's time to take revenge...\" He trails off — he's scared. Unwilling to act like a coward in front of his underlings, the man can't just run, but he is also aware of the consequences. More people are gathering, ten, twenty, fifty... Perhaps they think their numbers could make a difference. But the mortals' idea of \"outnumbering\" simply does not apply to the Raiden Shogun, the wielder of divine powers. \"Let me try my blade with you.\" I take a deep breath, focus my mind, and adopt the fighting stance. My blade shall fall, my destiny, rewritten. \"Musou...\" ... Wait a moment. How do I unleash Musou no Hitotachi?" } ]

I'll be back from Inazuma very soon, and I promise when I get back I'll take you to see The Crux's ship down at the harbor. I won't let you down this time! Dongdong, do you remember the beach at Yaoguang Shoal? Well I went there, and I collected lots and lots of beautiful, golden sand. More than I can carry by myself. When I'm back, we should buy up the local mill and make fresh tofu every single day. Although, I'd rather use all this gold to buy a house in Liyue Harbor. A huge house with a splendid sea view. I'll let you decide how to spend it when I'm back. How does that sound? Guess what? Just opposite Luhua Pool at the Guili Plains there's an enormous cliff, and what did I find there? A Ruin Guard! He was just sitting there, slumped over, completely still. He didn't flinch even in the thunder and lightning, not even when the rain was pelting down on him. Then I realized, he must be sleeping! So I climbed up on top of him, threw my arms around that big old head of his, and twisted it as hard as I could. There was a clunking noise, followed by a loud boom, and suddenly his head fell off and rolled straight off the cliff! It smashed into a million pieces at the bottom. Shame really, otherwise I would have brought it home as a trophy, and you could have had a proper up-close look at what a Ruin Guard's head looks like. Imagine that! I also went to Jueyun Karst. I must take you there when you're older. The scenery there is incredible. The billowing clouds look like an ocean, the waterfall is infinitely better than the one in Qingce Village, and you can sometimes catch a glimpse of the realm of the adepti in the mountains. You can't begin to imagine how beautiful it was. And guess what? You're not going to believe this but... I met an actual, real-life adeptus! We sat and drank together, chatting and laughing away... The adeptus gave me a gift, too: a magic wine bottle. All you need to do is blow on it, and an infinite supply of wine will flow from the inside! You absolutely mustn't touch it though, do you understand? You're way too young to drink. When you're older, though, all my treasures will be yours to do with as you please. My adventures in Liyue are coming to an end. It's time for me to head to the harbor, where I'll hop on The Crux's ship and sail off to somewhere even further away. I'm excited to see what wonderful sights and valuable treasures are waiting for me at the next stop, and I can't wait to share them all with you! Until then, Dongdong, please make sure you go to bed on time every night. And don't eat too many sweets, they'll rot your teeth. Please also be nice to your grandma and grandpa — seriously, don't do anything to make them mad. And no fighting! I will be home soon. Lots of love, Daddy x\n\nVol. 2:\nA diary left behind by someone in the wilderness that tells of the owner's unfortunate encounters at Yaoguang Shoal. —Yaoguang Shoal— The fog is setting in again... The idea of panning for gold here has turned out to be a complete waste of time. I should have known not to trust this old mining crew, it must have been several decades since the last of them retired! Every last bit of information they gave me is completely out of date... utterly useless. This is turning into a complete farce. I would say I'll be going home empty-handed tonight, but the chances of me finding my way home at all in this fog are looking slim... I hope Dongdong's eaten dinner. I can hear hilichurls somewhere in the distance. I have no idea where I'm going in this fog, so I suppose I'll just focus on walking away from the hilichurls' voices. Hopefully I'll make it out alive... I don't know how long I've been walking, and in this fog I don't even know if it's daytime or nighttime. Hang on, are those silhouettes I see up ahead? By the good grace of the Geo Lord, maybe I can join along with them and find a way out of here. Yep, that's what I'm gonna do. Hooray, I'm saved! On closer inspection, the silhouettes didn't look like friendly characters. I've decided to set up a camp here and wait for them to leave before figuring out my next move. I might have to go back the way I came. Egads! I can hear hilichurls all around me... I should definitely— -End of diary content-\n\nVol. 3:\nA diary left behind by someone in the wilderness that tells of the owner's unfortunate encounters at Guili Plains. —Guili Plains— What a string of bad luck... I finally made it out of that hilichurl camp alive, only to end up nearly being killed by a Ruin Guard! I'd figured it was probably out of action given the way it was sat there completely motionless in the torrential rain. But then a bolt of lightning struck it right on the head... There was some whirring and grinding, and suddenly it was back to life. I was powerless to defend myself against it. It lifted me up like a baby bird and tossed me from the top of the cliff. Luckily, amidst my frantic scrambling, I managed to duck into a cave at the foot of the cliff. It was out of his line of sight, so it gave up trying to find me. If not for that cave, it'd have ripped me to shreds, thrown me to the ground, and then stomped me into... I don't even know what you'd call it by that point! Surely it must be well away from here by now... Even so, I can still hear the droning noise it made, like a swarm of bees buzzing around inside my head. I think I must have broken my arm, because it hurts when I put any pressure on it. I think — I hope — that I will be able to manage, though. In any case, at my age I need to grin and bear it. I mean, what would Dongdong and his mother think of me if I didn't?\n\nVol. 4:\nA diary left behind by someone in the wilderness that tells of the owner's adventures at Jueyun Karst. —Jueyun Karst— Near the foot of the cliff, I ran into a herb gatherer who helped me set the bone. I almost passed out from the pain. But he did say that most passers-by he meets who have survived an encounter with a Ruin Guard tend to be less physically intact than I am... Every cloud has a silver lining, I guess. From above, Jueyun Karst looks completely untouched by human activity. It's also shrouded in mist, and to add to the mystery it's impossible to know just how deep the mist goes. Strange noises can be heard coming from the stone forest. Whether it's illuminated beasts or celestial beings in there, I don't know. All I know is it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. With any luck I should be able to pick up a quality chunk of amber here, or maybe some highly prized medicinal herbs. I know that back in the day many of the poorer village folks made their fortunes and built their lives in Liyue by selling herbal medicine, and I see no reason why I couldn't do the same. It rained heavily in the evening, which meant the cliff face was too slippery to climb up. I also couldn't find my climbing rope or axe anywhere. It's strange, I'm not the type to lose things so easily... I'll bet one of the monsters lurking in the mountains pinched it when I wasn't looking! Maybe it was a fox... After several days of fruitless searching, I finally found some good medicinal herbs so I'm getting ready to head back. I had wanted to do one final search, but this place is starting to creep me out. As soon as night falls I keep thinking I see shadowy figures following me everywhere... Also, the blood-curdling cries of some unknown species of monster are now coming from all directions — and they're getting closer... During my descent down the mountain, I came across an old wine bottle. I gave it a rinse with some spring water, and found it's in good condition. I bet Dongdong would like it if I gave it to him as a souvenir. I'll just tell him that it was a treasure given to me by an adeptus.\n\nVol. 5:\nA diary left behind by someone in Liyue that tells of the owner's adventures there. —Liyue Harbor— I sold the herbs at Bubu Pharmacy. Made back everything I've lost, plus a little extra. At this rate, I could buy a house in Liyue within the next few years. Just in time for Dongdong to settle in before he starts school. If I'd studied harder when I was younger, I wouldn't have ended up getting involved with those scumbag Treasure Hoarders. I also wouldn't have squandered the inheritance my father left me. This makes me think that I must get Dongdong a good teacher who makes him study hard. That's the only way he'll make reliable friends and not end up like his wretched old man. So, for Dongdong's sake, I can't give up now. I have got to find a way to make a good living. ...That said, I couldn't get the idea of making a quick fortune out of my head. So I tried my luck at The Jade Mystery. I hadn't intended to spend any money at a place like that, but the boss, Shitou, was very persuasive... He talked me into putting all my money into it. I didn't do too badly. I cut open the stone I bought and found it to be higher-quality jade. Then again, that one brief foray into the world of gambling on stones meant that I had to pawn the sickle and the medicine box I'd used for foraging for herbs. I'm penniless now. Sure, I got some good jade pieces from gambling on stones, but jade isn't easy to shift. So it looks like I'm back in survival mode again. I think I'll head overseas and see how it goes. I should try joining The Crux, here's hoping Captain Beidou will take me on. I'll happily scrub the deck if it comes to it, I haven't eaten in three days.\n\nVol. 6:\nA diary left behind by someone in the wilderness that tells of the owner's unfortunate encounters at Jinren Island. —Jinren Island— After stealing a small boat from the pirate ship, I rowed for three days before finally reaching shore. From here, I can see the legendary Takayama on Narukami Island, along with the giant sakura tree that grows on it. The colors of the Sacred Sakura are gentle in the moonlight... It makes me think of home. I wonder if Dongdong feels lonely in Qingce Village. I don't know if I made the right decision, coming all this way just to make a living. It's probably me just getting old, thinking about all this nonsense. I stumbled upon a purple melon while exploring this remote island. It tasted astringent, and rather lacked taste; my teeth and tongue turned purple from eating the skin and it took a while for the color to fade... Next time I'll try cooking it before eating. I've set up camp. At first light, I'll walk south... I heard the pirates say that that's where Inazuma is. There should be plenty of job opportunities in the city. Maybe I should give up the foolish idea of adventuring and find a real job. When I've saved up enough money and bought my own house, I'll send for Dongdong to come live with me. Besides, the housing here is much cheaper than in Liyue Harbor." } ]

A history book compiled and translated from ancient stone tablets of Liyue by the historian Zichang. It contains various fragmented historical events. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nStone Tablet Compilations: Vol. I:\nIn the beginning, Rex Lapis descended. He lowered the tides, raised Mt. Tianheng, and calmed the waves. Thereupon, peace was brought to the people. They cut into the mountain and found jade, they bored through the rock and made tunnels, and they piled up stones and built a settlement. It is written that the jade from the bowels of the mountain is that which glows. Hence, they named it \"Shanhui Fort\"[1]. In that time, all the people of Tianheng derived their livelihood from the mines, all prospered from them, and none knew poverty within a thousand-mile radius. [1] Better known today as \"Shanhui Rock,\" which is often simplified to \"Mountain Rock,\" thereby stripping the name of most of its original meaning. ... Guizhong, the Lord of Dust, was an ally to the Lord of Rock. Around Mt. Tianheng, Guizhong set up a Crossbow to keep guard, and it was named the \"Guizhong Ballista.\" She brought her people to the north of Mt. Tianheng and taught them to tend the soil. Agriculture became their livelihood, and all prospered from it. The farming towns stretched for miles, and it was said that one could walk all the way to Stone Gate without ever leaving the network of pathways between the fields. Guizhong said to the Lord of Rock: \"My people had left their home and came to this place. Here, they are happy in their abodes and content in their work, thus it is as if they have returned home. Hence, what better name to call this place than 'the Plains of Returning and Departing'?\" The Lord of Rock praised the Lord of Dust for her work, and thereafter the area was named in the tongue of Liyue \"Guili Plains.\" [2] It later came to pass that the gods each strove for dominance, which brought catastrophe upon the land. Though the adepti fought to protect the Guili Plains, they could not stop the tide of war, which ravaged the plains and took the life of its ruler, Guizhong. Thereupon, the Lord of Rock Rex Lapis took his people south of Mt. Tianheng. Thus the people departed from the Guili Plains for good, never to return, and it was left to become a wilderness. ... Rex Lapis pacified the gods, adepti and yakshas were content in their positions, and Liyue re-entered an era of peace. Before this time, the gods waged war for centuries on end, and not one field was left unravaged. The people of Liyue turned to commerce and artisanship for their livelihood, and prospered once more. Those who prospered above the rest joined together, calling themselves the Qixing. Thus was formed the framework around which Liyue Harbor developed. Under the jurisdiction of the Qixing were all the known trades. No business of Liyue took place inside or outside the nation that was not known unto them. The Millelith also took orders from the Qixing, supporting the masses at home and suppressing the monsters at the border. Thus became the nature of Liyue's governance under Rex Lapis." } ]

Golden Shrimp Balls seem alright.\" Wu Wang: \"Wu Er, go hence and find a store that sells a serving of those shrimp balls.\" Wu Er: \"I will.\" Wu Wang: \"Wait. It must be fried to a pure golden sheen, without even the slightest hint of being burnt.\" Wu Er: \"Without even the slightest hint of being burnt. Okay.\" Wu Wang: \"Hold. And they must be of size most equal. Not one shall be larger or smaller than the next.\" Wu Er: \"And they shall all be the same size, yes. Do you wish to go over the instructions again?\" Wu Wang: \"No need.\" Wu Er: \"Do you have any other requests, sir? Just say the word.\" Wu Er: \"And if the store fails to meet your expectations, then let's do as we always do—\" Wu Yi: \"What do we always do?\" Wu Er: \"Not give them any Mora, of course.\" Wu Wang: \"No, no, come, look at the fish store yonder. Now there's a beauty more filling than a fine meal.\" (Dongtang, lento, innig) Wu Wang: \"Let us go up and seek some details as we may... All the better to seize her with.\" (Wu Wang turns to Zixin) (Aside) Zixin: \"Would you like to buy fish, sir?\" Wu Wang: \"Why, of course, of course. Which family do you hail from, miss, and where fare your parents?\" Zixin: \"I grew up at the docks. My parents have grown old, and I run the store alone, selling fish to make ends meet.\" Zixin: \"Why do you ask, sir?\" (Turns, sotto voce) Wu Wang: \"Wonderful, wonderful. Her parents are not at hand.

She has plighted no troth. If trouble should come of this, no one will save her.\" (Turns back, facing Zixin) Wu Wang: \"Then, miss, have you one you are enamored with?\" (Zixin lowers her head and says nothing) (Dongtang, senza misura) Wu Wang: \"See, see how she casts down her eyes without speaking. So, then, there is no such person. Evil enters and masters my thoughts—\" Wu Wang: \"Come, friends, take her hence — let us not waste precious time or beauty.\" (Exeunt Wu Wang, Wu Yi, and Wu Er, taking Zixin with them) Scene III (Enter Grandma Zhang) (Aside) Grandma Zhang: \"Now then, ladies and gentlemen, if you have listened oft to Yun Jin's plays and become wise to the ways of theater, then you have likely guessed what shall come next.\" Grandma Zhang: \"Shall we not now accelerate towards a fight most fierce?\" Grandma Zhang: \"But afore the hero steps forth, he must by fortune be inspired.\" Grandma Zhang: \"When evil beasts run amok, disturbing the lives of the people, or when times and tides are turbulent, that is when heroes arise.\" Grandma Zhang: \"If you should pluck up your courage, your deeds shall be remembered. But if you prove craven...\" Grandma Zhang: \"Who then will remember if you were named Zhang Jie, Wang Jie, or Fan Jie?\" Grandma Zhang: \"And what's more, we ordinary folk must show our mettle, and yet leave a tale of rescuing our fair lady.\" Grandma Zhang: \"Let us see how Fan Jie shall act.\" (Enter Fan Jie) (Aside) Grandma Zhang: \"Alas, why have you only arrived now?\" Grandma Zhang: \"Miss Zixin here was just taken by the notorious hooligan, Wu Wang!\" (Dongtang, allegro) Fan Jie: \"Ah, alas!\" Fan Jie: \"When I heard her words I was a-fright, but I never thought that catastrophe was so near to me.\" Fan Jie: \"This villain burns, steals, and kills as he wills. If I were to go forth...\" Fan Jie: \"I shall, in all likelihood, not return.\" (Grandma Zhang tosses the string of pearls to Fan Jie) Grandma Zhang: \"S—sir Fan, wh—whatever shall we do?\" (Dongtang, allegro) Fan Jie: \"As I see these pearls, my resolve hardens—\" Fan Jie: \"How could I surrender a maiden to this villain?\" Fan Jie: \"Pearl-string in hand, I draw my sword in fury — to make contrite that Wu Wang, and have him sue for mercy.\" (Exeunt Fan Jie and Grandma Zhang)\n\nVol. 4:\nTo rescue the one he loves, the young man charges heedlessly into danger, entering the lair of the enemy with his sword drawn: and on the other side, his beloved hangs on desperately... —Act IV: Trial By Candlelight— Male Role: Fan Jie Female Role: Zixin Comic Villain: Wu Wang Scene I (Fan Jie with a robe, stage upper left, Zixin sits alone, stage right) (Dongtang, appassionato) Fan Jie: \"O cursed villain, to steal a maiden in broad daylight!

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nThe legendary tale of an anonymous seafarer set in a time when Liyue was plagued by sea monsters. —Rising Tide— As the moon hung bright among the sea of stars above, hums of a sea shanty slowly began to rise over the waters below. There once was a mighty ship that would lay anchor in Liyue Harbor. Its captain was a man who tracked and hunted terrible monsters of the deep, known as the \"Skipper.\" The ships hull was adorned with skeletons of monsters from the sea, an unmistakable signal of their the Skipper's fearless will. However, the shanties of the crew seldom made any mention of hunting creatures of the deep. It's not that the sailors didn't revel in their reputation and brag of their achievements, but ages of navigating the merciless seas had taught them that ballads of blood and water were the most unlucky of all. With his sword in hand, the Skipper sailed across the watery expanse, coasting along rocky reefs and cruising with surging undercurrents. He fearlessly guided his ship to face the roar of squalls and sea monsters alike. The dark worlds that laid beneath murky waters were like boundless hunting grounds. Any monster that would dare stir the tranquil waters often became the next trophy hanging from the side of the ship. But the Skipper only knew wind and waves, and never seemed to grasp the bittersweet lives of ordinary people. For he occupied all his days with searching and hunting, accompanied solely by the salty sea breeze and the muffled calls of whales in the deep. The crew feared him more than they adored him, ever cautious of his character, relentless as if trying to break free from tangles of seaweed. The Skipper's clipper silently sailed forward, unyielding to the perilous stretches of sea. Only the young maiden who always sat atop the towering bow could ever reveal a glimmer of softness to the Skipper's eyes. She was his navigator, charmed by the tidal song and humming with the whales, guiding the ship through the wind and waves to waters infested by beasts. A young maiden at the helm offered her songs to the sea, paying due respect to its every billow and breeze... \"Hark the calls of creatures deep, and echoes of waves tossed in the gale. When the sea and winds flow in our favor, towards the horizon shall we sail.\" \"May the deities that have passed, and me ol' captain too, Steer our bow through the boundless sea, and point our compass true. May we guide every sailor's soul, to the port they call home.\" The chorus of the shanty gave way to the bellowing orders of the Skipper, promptly calling all hands to set sail. The mighty vessel slowly left the port and came underway, sinking into the horizon under the first glimmer of dawn. This is how the story of every voyage would begin, just as they had each day before.\n\nVol. 2:\nTo the never-ending tune of the ocean, the seafarer fought against the phenomenal foe of fate, fighting to the bitter end... —Wild Storm— \"Come with me into the watery abyss, listening to murmurs of the deep. When the wind and waves are right, we sail towards maelstroms of the sea. I hear the jabber of me ol' lady, wishing well to her heirs to come: May they navigate blasting winds and o'er dancing waves, Pierced by heroes' harpoons, may the monster's lair meet the last of its days.\" Even in the most violent of squalls, her constant shanties never ceased. The voice of the maiden harmonized with the raging waves, guiding the Skipper over deathly currents, sailing boldly towards the eye of the storm where the sea monster lay lurking. Skimming across the vortex, ushered by lightning and waterspouts, the ship inched further into the monster's treacherous waters. Flashes of lightning revealed the Skipper's silhouette, fearlessly grasping his sword. Following the Skipper's fixed gaze, the crew could only make out an alpine shape shadowed by tenebrous clouds. The massive figure that lay skulking in the distance was the body of the beast. The once fearsome skeletons that hung from the ship now seemed like mere cubs compared with the terrifying silhouette that lay sprawling before them like a mountain range in the center of the maelstrom. At the Skipper's bellowing command, the crew fired broadside after broadside of giant crossbows, unleashing their mortal fears and delusions on the massive body that lay like a towering wall before them. The barrages of cannonballs and barbed iron harpoons left gruesome wounds on the body of the beast. The sea monster hissed violently in pain, plunging beneath the huge crimson waves before slamming the ship's hull with all its might. The ship nearly capsized against the might of the blow, and crimson waves came crashing across the decks. The sailors were drenched in the foul torrents as they cursed the gods of the elements and continued to rake the body of the beast with stones and sharpened spears. The ruthless Skipper never flinched at the opponents dealt to him by fate. The thundering roars of the terrible beast were answered by songs of the young maiden atop the bow. The ship maneuvered round the monster, cruising upon the spinning torrents, and answering sharp fangs and swiping stingers with catapults, harpoons, slings, and even mortal bodies to vent their dread and fury. Once the monster's body was riddled with wounds and nearly all its tentacles and claws had been severed, the Skipper's ship too had been reduced to a floating hulk. Half of the ship's masts had fallen, half of its guns were out of action, and half the crew had been taken as dinner for the monster — even the Skipper's prized sword had been cleaved in two. This was an unwinnable bout, much like a mere child challenging a full-grown adult. The injured monster knew very well that its opponent no longer posed any threat. Craving to devour the ship that now lay dead in the water, it rose to the surface and exposed its gaping mouth.\n\nVol. 3:\nFinally, when the tempest eased and the ocean surface was tranquil once more, the soft wind played a poignant homecoming tune... —Receding Torrent— Although the moon was veiled by dark clouds, her shanty did not cease. As the surface grew eerily calm amidst the storm, the splintered ship drifted slowly towards the abyss. The monster's massive spiraling mouth lay open wide, and a rumbling growl came from deep within it. The monster was content with its prey and opened its eyelids, crusted in reef and coral, to witness the final moments of yet another opponent who had underestimated it. The monster's massive eyes revealed their fragile gaze to the dying Skipper. The monster reveled in the moment and through his pair of eyes beheld a heart that was darker than the abyss. A final bolt of lightning flashed in the sky above, illuminating the ship as it split into two among the monster's swirling fangs, fading beneath a mist of splinters. Even the screams from the keel were drowned beneath the waves. And then it was dark again... until the furious roar of the monster broke out over the black waters once more. The Skipper plunged his severed sword into the eye of the beast again and again, until he was immersed beneath the filthy tide, when finally his broken sword became lodged in the monster's soft eyeball. As the Skipper drew closer to his treacherous fate, clutched by countless claws and pincers, he continued fighting tooth and nail until the monster's sharp claws were torn into pieces... A familiar tune then filled the salty breeze as the monster's movements began to cease. \"Sing with me, farewell to the sea, a shanty I hold so dear, When the sea and winds flow in our favor, I know my end is near. Ol' captain is calling me name, back to whence I came, So forget not the captain and I, and hum this melody again. There will come a day when at last you find me, slumbering in the abyssal deep... Or perhaps you too then, will be swallowed by the whirlpool in the sea.\" The monster's gigantic tentacles burst forth from the water, snaking upwards like towering columns, but the young maiden simply lay there floating on her back, singing amidst the turmoil. Even as the tentacles coiled tightly around her arms, even as the sharp claws pierced her skin, and even as they shredded her clothing to pieces, leaving it floating in tatters on the sea, still she continued to sing her farewell shanty toward the Skipper. Then, the maiden was gently pulled into the black sea by the monster. In an age where the sea was ruled by unpredictable disasters, the people of the waves died each passing day. The Skipper awoke to find himself on the deck of some unknown merchant ship. Having lost his ship and entire crew, all he had left was a body covered in wounds and an old dream echoing an ethereal sea shanty. \"When the sea and winds are right, I will go forth to sea and avenge her, O maiden charmed by the tidal song...\"" } ]

A short fairy tale that is quite popular in Fontaine. Many children saw the exquisitely drawn cover and thought it was really written by the kind Madam Snow-Winged Goose of legend. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nPers the Penguin Legend says there is a sea of ice far off in the south. That is where the penguins live. Penguins are chubby little ladies and gentlemen, with tuxedos of black feathers pulled tight over their cute white bellies. You might think they look awkward on land, waddling about, unable to fly like other birds. But just you wait. You'll see them throw themselves onto those bellies and slide as if snowboarding, right into the water. With a splash, they become elegant and talented swimmers, their thick, flipper-like wings helping to streamline their bodies as they zoom about underwater. Now, lots of children already know these penguin facts. And children who love penguins will know all this by heart. But there is one thing that even the penguin-loving children don't know. Every penguin in the world comes from outer space, far beyond the skies. Great flocks of penguins once flew across the universe, their flippers steering them between the stars, their sleek feathers reflecting what little starlight there was out there in the void. From red giants to white dwarfs, from the shoulder of Orion to the glimmering Tannhauser Gate... The penguins explored it all. The penguins remember it all. But, perhaps because of some interstellar catastrophe or even a simple family argument, several penguin clans split off from that galaxy-roaming flock and landed in the icy waters to the south of Teyvat. They became our first penguins. But those new arrivals found our atmosphere too thick to fly in, and their lack of prior experience with water left them unable to swim as well. Until, that is, the birth of the marvelous Pers the Penguin — the first penguin to learn to swim. Like many young penguins, Pers would gaze up at the starry night sky, or the blue skies of daytime, and say to himself: \"If only I could fly, like my ancestors!\" And so Pers decided to learn from the birds. How did they fly so high? First, Pers the Penguin asked the biggest bird he could find: a frigatebird. And the frigatebird said: \"Haha! Piece of cake! Once you bring me 30 fish, I'll spill the beans!\" And so Pers spent 50 nights on a moonlit beach, collecting 300 shells. Then he found a whale who liked shells and exchanged his 300 shells for 30 fish. The next day, the frigatebird swallowed those 30 fish in one great big gulp before laughing and flying away. As he flew off, he called down to young Pers: \"The secret to flying is to be light! Why not try losing some weight?\" Well, losing weight was easy enough. But if a penguin lost its thick layer of fat, it wouldn't be a penguin anymore. So, Pers shook his head. And as all children know, the frigatebird got a new nickname after all this for its greed and unreasonable nature: the piratebird. Next, Pers asked the seagulls for help. But all they did was squawk and croak. Pers was thus none the wiser, and the seagulls wound up having a big argument. In fact, some of them became so angry that they refused to fly ever again, becoming auks... Though that's a different story. And so Pers asked a petrel for help. But the petrel would only teach him some impractical tricks, and not the basics that he needed most. Because, that noble seabird thought, surely it was better to learn how to soar through a stormy sky than to worry about trivial matters like taking off and landing. Pers was now a very disappointed penguin. He waddled back to the beach and gazed out across the peaceful nighttime ocean. And as he did so, he noticed for the first time ever that the stars of his celestial homeland were reflected in the ocean. And he found them so beautiful that he simply... jumped in. And, after a brief moment of panicked sinking, Pers the Penguin realized that he could fly — underwater, at least. He could whizz speedily along, or twist and turn. It was, after all, what those strong wings and that smooth round body had been made for! And that is how Pers the Penguin became the first penguin to learn to swim. And after Pers, many other penguins plucked up the courage to take that leap into the waters and, like their ancestors, soar amongst the glimmering stars, exploring, feeding, and playing. Once Pers had shown them the way, the penguins took to life in the water and forgot their spacefaring past. Not even in their dreams did they remember that limitless void. The penguins live here now, between sea and land.\n\nVol. 2:\nPrincess Marcotte In the not-too-distant past, every type of plant and every type of beast had its own kingdom. And in the Marcotte Kingdom, there live a princess with long pink hair. Legend has it that she was born in a crab claw and never put down roots — she always was, and always would be, a tough little seed. \"My darling daughter, my beloved treasure. Why not settle down and enjoy a life of nobility? Why do you wait so long to sprout and grow?\" asked her worried and kingly father. \"Father, father, please do not fret or rage. I was born in a crab claw, and that claw will be my ship. Your daughter's fate is not to take root in the mundane earth and grow pretty flowers. It is to conquer the seas and explore a new and wonderful world!\" The king was shocked by his daughter's plans. What was wrong with pretty flowers, he thought? Wasn't he a pretty flower? And what if his daughter one day decided to set down those roots and grow an even prettier garland than his? That would be terrible. But he only felt this way because he was ashamed of not being as pretty as he wanted to be. And so, he had the princess and the crab claw locked up in a golden box. Then he hid the golden box in a mirror made of purest water. And then he threw the mirror into the sapphire lake of the Pluie Lotus Kingdom. There was only one way to reverse all those layers of confinement and free the princess (and the crab claw) — to make the Mother Lotus laugh. And as everyone knows, Pluie Lotuses are all too used to weeping. \"All is well again,\" said the king. \"I can rest my regal head in peace. All I need to do is wait and wait, for my beloved daughter's seed to start to crack. She will lose her wanderlust. For what choice will she have, but to grow...\" \"And then my daughter will be like me. She will follow her destiny and grow strong and healthy.\" But the brave princess was not cowed by her long imprisonment. She wrote joke after joke to try and make the Mother Lotus laugh, and practiced telling those jokes over and over. The crab claw chortled. Even the golden box guffawed. But the Mother Lotus? Nothing. So she decided to write a comic play. She rehearsed until the crab claw couldn't help but burst into laughter and hop around — despite having no feet! She even converted the interior of the box into a theater. But still, nothing. Next, the princess tried to find comedy in the circumstances of her imprisonment — situational comedy, she called it. Soon the crab claw was, like the princess, laughing until it cried and then crying until it laughed. And eventually, the Pluie Lotus — keen criers, as we know — found themselves giggling. Finally, the Mother Lotus could contain her curiosity no longer, and the princess was granted an audience. And, to everyone's surprise, the princess didn't even need to tell a single joke. The Mother Lotus burst out laughing as soon as the princess entered the room. Her laughter grew louder and louder, shaking the palace walls and sending ripples across the sapphire lake. Princess Marcotte won her freedom. But she won something more valuable as well — the ability to laugh, and to make others laugh, even in the saddest of circumstances. In her crab claw ship, the princess sailed the ocean waves on her voyage to the new world of her dreams. And ever since, sailors have told tales of a crab claw ship.\n\nVol. 3:\nMr. Fox and the Clockwork Guardsman A long, long time ago, Mr. Fox and the Clockwork Guardsman were good friends. Mr. Fox was a successful thief. The Clockwork Guardsman was... well, he was a guard. Clue's in the name, isn't it? But that was a long, long time ago, of course. They're still good friends, though. That will never change, no matter their jobs or social status. The Clockwork Guardsman had always had a worry curled up inside him, and as the years passed and his mechanisms aged, that worry got bigger and bigger, like a balloon, and heavier and heavier, like a piglet, and it was always there no matter how much he tried to shake it off, like Mr. Fox's lovely tail. It was a very worrying worry. So the Clockwork Guardsman told his good friend, Mr. Fox, of this concerning concern: \"I've already lived a very long time. I've met so many people and said goodbye to so many. I've heard the funniest jokes and lived through the saddest times, and then I've forgotten it all and lived through it again. Even though forgetting isn't easy for a machine such as myself, it all fades.\" Mr. Fox understood his friend's concerns and knew just what to suggest: \"If living such a long life makes you forgetful and jaded, perhaps it is time to die, and in doing so, to make your life real.\" \"But, my fluffiest of friends,\" the Clockwork Guard said, removing his alloy guard's cap and sighing, \"didn't you steal Death from Ms. Toad's dressing table in that heist many years ago? It caused quite the commotion, as I recall. The living things of the world all forgot how to die.\" As, we all know, Ms. Toad is Death's envoy, the queen of all that is ugly, cold, and annoying. She guards that coldest jewel, Death itself. \"Ah, I was so young then. I remember I was madly in love with Ms. Jackal, and I wanted to bring her the most expensive treasure I could find.\" \"And?\" \"I succeeded. But she died.\" Death slipped from Ms. Jackal's hand and shattered on the ground. The fragments melted into the earth, never to be seen again. And as that happened, the creatures of the world started to die as normal once more, with all that should have been dead now being so. Except, that is, for Mr. Fox, who should have died, but didn't. His life dragged on. \"Death still exists in this world! All we need do is search for it!\" And so Mr. Fox and the Clockwork Guardsman, furry paw in cold metal hand, left the city they called home to search for Death in all the corners of the world. And they searched and they searched and then they searched some more. They searched until Mr. Fox's beautiful red coat had turned white. They searched until the Clockwork Guardsman's pride and joy, his official guard badge, had rusted. Finally, they reached the place where Ms. Toad lived. \"Ms. Toad? Ms. Toad?\" called the Guardsman, as he knocked on the door. Ms. Toad opened the door slowly and stretched out her warty, scabby hand. \"Lovely Ms. Toad, I am so sorry to bother you again,\" said Mr. Fox as he took off his hat. \"But my good friend is in great pain, and you are the keeper of the only cure.\" \"Ms. Toad is of course aware of how lovely she is,\" came a rasping voice from within the ramshackle hut. \"And if your friend seeks Death, he will not find it here.\" \"Life is not tea and Death is not sugar. Their tastes cannot be distinguished if you live forever. But you have a mechanical heart and a mechanical tongue, and have tasted their flavor over and over, during each cycle of activation and deactivation...\" Ms. Toad removed an embroidered shroud to reveal the cold jewel called Death, then extended a hand, beckoning to the Clockwork Guardsman. \"Come, young guard, come, child. All must be tested, but do not admit defeat easily, my strong child...\" \"My maggots will not eat you, my moss will not grow on you. Whether your enemy is time or guilt, sadness or ennui... Do not admit defeat easily, my child.\" And with that, Ms. Toad took the guard's metal hand and placed it lightly on the jewel called Death, and he saw how long, long in the future, he would end— After countless years of hardships, a battered and beaten Clockwork Guardsman was thrown into the fires of the scrapping plant, to melt into a metallic ocean of millennia of waste. All those slow metal thoughts and hard metal ideas became swift and liquid. They evolved and combined and formed a new life. It was a glorious return for all metal lifeforms, making even the release of death fade in comparison. And so the Clockwork Guardsman saw the future and gave up his dreams of dying. His good friend Mr. Fox, meanwhile, withdrew his thieving hand and left the jewel where it was. Indeed, life encompasses more than just bitterness akin to tea. If he had a friend to accompany him through the hard times, what rush was there? He could steal this extraordinary jewel later. Later, as all children know, Mr. Fox and the Clockwork Guardsman lived long, long lives, until the little world they lived in was but a desert, until the sun went out, until the moon fell... And even then, their story didn't end. It lived on, passed from world to world." } ]

Someone's private thoughts are written in this tattered letter. Unfortunately, the years have eaten away at the words that were penned until they became blurred, and if not for someone having dug it up, these past events may have forever slept under the soil. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nTattered Letter:\nDear Kenji I've thought things over for a very long time before writing this letter. There are so many things I want to say to you, yet my pen falls idle whenever I attempt to start this letter. We learned martial arts together since we were young, and enlisted once we were older. We did everything together. You're like a real brother to me. I never thought that we'd have such a big argument, or that we'd even come to blows over that disagreement. Kenji, my brother, I regret what I did every moment of every day. If I had been more calm and not been so insistent on leaving, you might not have been as furious as you were. You must think of me as a shameless deserter who has betrayed the Shogun, and that's why you raised a hand against me without letting me explain. I care not about what everyone thinks of me — everyone but you. And that is why I have to write this letter, to tell you how I really feel. Remember the dreams we shared when we first enlisted? We wanted to show our bravery and swordsmanship to make a name for ourselves and take care of our parents in this time of chaos. We were taught that it was a major offense that the people of Sangonomiya had dared to draw their swords against the Electro Mitsudomoe banner. We were told to end their lives with no reservation, as it was they who chose the path of death. I used to truly believe that. But after that incident, I find that I no longer can. A battle had just ended at the time. As we withdrew, I found a bloodied letter belonging to a rebel soldier. You may not believe it, but we both know that soldier. When we first enlisted, there was a senior who looked after me for quite a while. That letter is his. In that letter, he wrote that he missed the fishing boat back home, and that he looked forward on returning after the war is over. I never would've thought that he would join the rebels, and that I would meet him on the battlefield under such circumstances. Ever since my finding that letter, I suddenly came to realize that the rebels are people too. They too have parents they need to take care of, and a home to return to. I then decided to keep the incident of the letter to myself, and hoped to send it back to our senior's family. However, a number of our comrades somehow found out about the incident, and I was treated with ridicule and hostility. You and I come from low birth, yet we were able to quickly rise to the rank of Hatamoto through our hard work and abilities. This has caused many to spread rumors behind our backs. After this incident, the isolation and hostility became worse. It got so bad that our comrades would expose my back to the enemy while we were on the battlefield. I barely escaped death on numerous occasions. Everything that happened has made my heart grow chill. After thinking upon it for a very long time, I decided that if I've been forsaken by my comrades in the Shogunate, and that deep down inside I've developed empathy for my enemies, maybe I should just join them. Kenji, you've always been the straightforward and magnanimous one between us. You've never noticed the things that were going on. My telling you of the incidents that took place is not to ask for you to understand, but merely to know what it is that's going on in my mind. I am writing to you from the Sangonomiya camp right now, and I hope that the war would have already ended by the time you read this letter. And when that time comes, if you are willing to accept me as your friend once more, we can return home together, just as we had previously planned. None of this matters anymore — not Mora, not honor, not anything. When we enlisted, all we had were our swords and each other, and that's all we need with us when we return. Respectfully Yours, Masanori" } ]

[Vol. 3] A magazine by the Adventurers' Guild. Each issue introduces great sceneries across Teyvat. This issue includes a short traveling diary of Alice the Traveler in Inazuma. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\n—Mondstadt Chapter— Teyvat Geographic Special Edition — Alice's Mondstadt Diaries Dadaupa Gorge The three hilichurl tribes located in this valley are all densely populated. What if we built a huge spinning, ball-shaped cell in the center of the valley and threw all of the hilichurls into it? That way we might be able to generate enough energy to power all the mills in Mondstadt for at least five years. If we took it one step further by grinding the hilichurls that are too old or too weak into food and feeding them to the strong ones, we might just build ourselves a perpetual motion machine that can support a huge factory like in Snezhnaya! It seems totally feasible to me. But when I told Miss Lisa about this idea, she just looked at me and pondered in silence for a long time, then changed the subject gracefully. Starsnatch Cliff The Anemo Archon is a bit too undisciplined for me. If I were a god, I would not have allowed my realm to look so unorganized and ragged. With enough bombs placed in proper positions, even huge cliffs like Starsnatch would crumble into dust in a second. With flatter terrain, Mondstadt would surely look much nicer. But that unctuous Cavalry Captain rejected my proposal instantly. He even asked me to stay away from Starsnatch Cliff. Windrise Windrise is the only area in Mondstadt that has relatively flat terrain. At the center there is a huge oak tree. It is said that Vennessa ascended there. I searched around the tree for a long time but did not find any launching device. I grabbed some hilichurls nearby to put my theory to the test. Sadly, the longest flying distance was from here to the hunters' huts around Springvale. How disappointing. Falcon Coast My unsuccessful experiment caused quite a stir in Springvale, so Miss Jean from the Knights of Favonius arranged someone to keep tabs on me. All I could do all day was wander around at Falcon Coast. This is such a boring place. Those stupid eagles hovering in the sky and puffed-up Anemo Slimes all bored me to death! The worst of all was that I had nothing to do! On the other hand, the Outrider girl who was sent to monitor me had quite a lot of fun with the kids. Whispering Woods Yet another forest in Mondstadt. This Outrider named Amber seemed to know her way around this place. The explosive toy she carried around caught my attention. With some tweaks, I could turn it into something that could blow this forest and even the nearby mountains into smithereens easily. My proposal seemed to scare her. But an explosive stuffed toy is indeed a brilliant idea. I must try it out next time. Brightcrown Canyon I finally got rid of that stalker from the Knights of Favonius. This valley I found at the northeast coast of Cider Lake is still guarded by ancient mechanisms, but the soldiers responsible for holding the pass for the King of Gales were nowhere to be found now. All the winds of time had left behind were the unintelligent hilichurls and silent mechanical guards. My attempt to control Ruin Guards with hilichurls failed as well. The guard split into pieces, and as for the fate of the hilichurl strapped onto it... I will spare you the gory details. Half of the ruins were also destroyed in the process. Stormterror's Lair Brightcrown Canyon leads to this huge ruin of an ancient city which was built by the cruel King of Gales, Decarabian. The city was built in a ring shape. It seems that every resident of the city had been arranged their own spot between the inner and outer rings. Right in the center of the city was the tall tower where the King of Gales resided. The ruins of the domain of this cruel king, who once tried to control his people's lives, are now utterly deserted. I blew up a few arcades so people can climb up the tower more easily. Looks quite good to me. The ruin feels more ancient now.\n\nVol. 2:\n—Liyue Chapter— Teyvat Geographic Special Edition - Alice's Travels in Liyue Dihua Marsh The northern stretch of the Bishui River turns into a wetland. If you look south beyond the Stone Gate you will see a Silvergrass marsh as far as the eye can see. At the southernmost point of the marsh is an inn perched atop a giant rock. That is the Wangshu Inn, the highest point on the entire marsh. Look south from there and you will see the Guili Plains. You can also make out the Guyun Stone Forest across the sea. Also — there's a weirdo staying at the inn on the top floor. I don't think I've ever heard him say a single word. Lunch is a true feast at the Wangshu Inn. The kitchen is equipped with every utensil you could imagine — perfect for getting some practical alchemy experience. On the topic of alchemy practice, I've got a few new things to test out in my search for an explosion catalyst. If everything goes smoothly, I'll spend a few more days here then head to the Guili Plains. Guili Plains In the end, I came to the Guili Plains a few days earlier than I'd originally planned. Records suggest that prior to the Archon War, this area was a thriving marketplace. The foxes and wild finches are stunning here, with fur and feathers that have a certain glow about them. But I hear that they can be pests, too. Liyue locals complain that they keep eating their fruit offerings to the Geo Archon. I wonder if that gives them a fruity aroma when roasted? Maybe I should go hunting. They run a strict operation at the checkpoint on the main road, but the guards who work there are friendly people. I made a potion from some local herbs and gave it to one of them for his stutter — it cured him, but it did have some minor side effects. He now can't help but constantly imitate everyone he comes across. Not just what they say, but the way they say it. It's uncanny how spot-on his impressions are. Jueyun Karst I'm told that somewhere amidst the misty peaks of Jueyun Karst lives an adeptus, the exact location hidden somewhere in the ocean of cloud. All the Liyue herb gatherers claim to have seen the realm of the adepti in all its glory revealed before their very eyes in the clouds. Based on personal experience, I can say that over-indulging on certain types of mushrooms can induce visions of a similar nature. The terrain here fascinates me. So many of these Stone Pillars look like they belong deep underground, not here on top of a mountain. There is supposed to be an underground reservoir here. Part of me wonders if all the water was drawn out, perhaps Jueyun Karst would find itself back on the ocean floor where it belongs. My travel companion Zhongli is the sternest person I know, but he seems most entertained by this theory. He won't stop laughing. What an odd fellow. Yaoguang Shoal I've heard that the fog often rolls in off the sea onto Yaoguang Shoal, and when it's at its thickest you can barely see your hand at the end of your outstretched arm. Unfortunately, I didn't make it here in time to see a foggy episode. It's a bit of a shame. There are so many lovely shells on the beach. I wonder how many of them have been there since the Archon War? I strung some of them together to make a necklace, but unfortunately that fisherman from the inn sat on it and broke it... Every last shell, brutally crushed beneath his merciless buttocks. None were spared. Not only that, but because he injured himself on the shards of broken shell, I had to pay his medical bills. A giant conch shell stands on the beach where the Bishui River enters the sea. A kind old lady lives inside. Her family is said to have sailed here on the giant shell, and she spends her time rescuing shipwrecked people who end up drifting near the shore. I think that repurposing the giant shell as a self-propelled boat would make it much easier for her to rescue people from the sea. But after I lost control of my third prototype seashell-boat and it blew up, the kind old lady decided she was not going to rescue me from the sea anymore. Guyun Stone Forest This is the site where the Geo Archon defeated the sea monster. Some of the great stone spears that pierce the ocean floor still tower above the surface of the sea, though many snapped long ago. The hexagonal Stone Pillars, formed from a conglomeration of Geo energy, are quite intriguing to look at. Viewed from above, one gets the impression that they were deliberately arranged in their current form to make a specific shape on the ocean surface. Maybe that was the real reason the Geo Archon rained down destruction on the ocean floor with his stone spears? Maybe it was all just a big joke, albeit in extremely poor taste? Zhongli from Liyue Harbor seems extremely knowledgeable on Liyue folklore, but I've never actually seen him come here. I can see the Wangshu Inn in the distance. I'll bet that weirdo I met there last time is still staring this way now. The flow of the ley lines around here is unique in all of Liyue. Much more dynamic, somewhat unstable... It's as if a great, relentless power stirs somewhere in the depths of the ocean. Perhaps it is the defeated sea monster, still writhing on the ocean floor.\n\nVol. 3:\n—Inazuma Chapter— Teyvat Geographic Special Edition — Alice's Inazuma Diaries Mt. Yougou Lush sakura trees grow all over this mountain on the northern end of Narukami Island. These sakura all share roots with the largest of them, the Sacred Sakura, which sits on the mountain's summit. The Grand Narukami Shrine, greatest of the Inazuman shrines, is dedicated to this Sacred Sakura. Little Yae has been the one managing the shrine in recent years. Ah, how she's grown! It's just a shame, really, to think that I can never again make her cry as easily as I used to. Really, I'd thought that she'd quickly get drunk, start to cry, and start talking all silly, but she drunk me under the table instead... I made a fool of myself in the process and was quite thoroughly mocked for it. Getting made out to be some old woman who got what was coming to her... Bah. ...And here I was looking to tease that little girl a bit more, too. Inazuma City I brought a new firework formula to that Naganohara kid's place. But when he heard me talking about a new medicine that might cure his deafness, he demurred and did not accept it. This kid is ever the conservative about explosives, always diluting them to the point where they cannot cause any obvious physical changes to the environment, and always relying on the combustion of different metals to produce monotonous visual effects. And he only does tests inside his workshop! I mean, come on, where's the fun in that? Ah, such a waste, such a waste! Now as for his daughter, Yoimiya, she's an interesting young lady. We collected a lot of sweets during the festival and tried all kinds of new formulae out. That was so much fun! ...And then we got packed off to a deserted beach by the fire brigade. Something about new rules with which to keep the peace in Inazuma City, or something similarly silly. We discussed a lot of new ideas, and she even gave me some constructive feedback. A talented kid, this one is. If the paradise I made for Klee also had one of Yoimiya's fireworks performances, that would have been perfect! It's just a shame that that grumpy general kept too close an eye on us — or else I'd have helped Yoimiya improve some of her gadgets, or even spirited her away. This reminds me of the time, not long ago, when I was preparing a medicine that would allow for flight in the Imperial Kitchen. It blew up due to a mistake of mine, injuring a young tengu warrior to the point where her left wing would have needed, say, half a month to recover. I had wanted to help her patch the wound up, but it seems as if she's been avoiding me ever since... Well, I left her some medicine all the same, just to see how its effects would turn out. After that incident, it seems that person who spends all her time holed up in Tenshukaku has sent some soldiers specifically to watch my every move. I mean, that's a bit much. I even apologized right to her face, but she just won't let up. She was the one who'd allowed me to conduct experiments in the Imperial Kitchen in the first place, you know? Also, Ms. Kamisato declined my idol group invitation for the sixth time running. Ah, what a disappointment. Tatarasuna Tatarasuna is an island chain that is naturally shaped like a ring. The mountains rise to overlook the sea, surrounding the large blast furnace in the middle. This is where Inazuman Jade Steel is produced and endlessly made into the best weaponry for the highfalutin bigwigs of Inazuma — ore made from the blood and bones of a defeated god. This place is the Tenryou Commissioner's pride and joy, and as such, he takes extra good care of the workers and technical specialists. I was accompanied during my time at Tatarasuna by a lady named Kagami Gozen. She seems to be a leader amongst the workers there, and has an official Shogunate post. Even though she's the Tenryou Commissioner's subordinate, she very much looks like his equal in front of the workers. All of them trust and love her. I'd daresay that their respect for her dispatches might be even greater than what they give the Shogun... But Kagami Gozen herself frowns often. Very unfriendly-looking. The Tatarasuna workers are largely rootless, washed up on these shores by the waves of history. Their many tattoos and working songs set them apart, but also strengthens their mutual bonds. Like the other workers at Tatarasuna, Kagami Gozen's body has scars from high-temperature burns from Tatarigami. These may be signs of short-lived or ill people in the eyes of outsiders, but here, it is how they identify family. I took the liberty of modifying the Mikage Furnace, throwing a few valves and panels into the sea and improving the containment dome, which back then could, at best, be rated \"better than nothing.\" I wonder if those engineers from Fontaine will be pleasantly surprised? Old man Kujou might get a little upset from production going down, but at least the furnace isn't going to go haywire from overheating, and I believe that even in the event of a war, which may soon come, the explosion should not be too large. \"Large\" according to my personal standards, of course. Hmm, actually, might my ingenious interventions perhaps prevent war from breaking out at all? Well, I for one would be more than pleased to see the expressions on those astrologers' faces when their predictions come to naught! Hah! Yashiori Island Ah, the clear blue skies over Yashiori Island really are a pleasant sight. Those stodgy onmyouji explained that the Raiden Shogun placed many \"wards\" over this place to prevent the corruption that seeps from the remnants of the serpent god... or something like that. I'm not good with their religious jargon. As far as I can observe, those lamp posts are quite interesting. Although they have the appearance of items dedicated to the Electro Archon, the techniques used to make them are quite familiar to me. Oh, whoa, would you look at that! This is supposed to be a travelogue, not some tedious academic paper! We were warmly welcomed by Washizu, the head of Higi Village. The grilled fish and onigiri were great! Also, that place they call Nazuchi Beach is full of friendly pirates... Ah, it's just a shame that I couldn't stay on this island for longer. The mines on the island are busy places indeed, but the equipment they use there is quite backward. Even though the Shogun put all those wards down, blocking off most of the Tatarigami's spread, many miners have still contracted chronic illnesses from prolonged exposure to the influence of those snake-bone crystals. The Sakura Mochi that the onmyouji brought with them are very tasty, but they're hardly the equal of the beauties that Little Yae makes. I should probably pay a visit to Asase Shrine later. I wonder how that fat cat's been doing lately... I did try to catch it with a specially-crafted cage the other time, only to be stopped by that killjoy shrine maiden." } ]

The Boar Princess

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nA long, long time ago, in the forest kingdom... What legends occurred there? The Boar Princess, Part 1. A story about friendship, love, and death. In the myths of ages past, every living being in this world had its own kingdom. Mondstadt was a forest in that age, a playground of the boars. In the forest was the Boar Kingdom, where everybody lived happily under the reign of the Boar King. The King had a lovely young daughter, who had the prettiest snout, the whitest tusks, and the smoothest fur in the whole kingdom. The Boar Princess, beautiful and kind, gave the juiciest and sweetest fruits to her subjects every day. From sweet and sour berries, to crisp apples, to delicious tree mushrooms, the Boar Princess always shared her delicacies first with her friends. Every boar in the kingdom adored their King and Princess, and every day they praised them so: \"Oink, oink! Bless our King! As long as he reigns over us, we will never starve!\" \"Oink, oink! Bless the gentle Anemo Archon for giving our King such a kind and polite Princess!\" (There are some words in the margin written in tiny handwriting: \"dada, if I dont eat candy efery night, and i pray eferyday, will i turn into a wild piggy? i want to be a wild piggy because they are so tasty\")\n\nVol. 2:\nA lifeless ice field, a land even the gentle Anemo Archon has never visited. How is it that it still has its lonely inhabitants? The Boar Princess, Part 2. The story continues on the glacier. North of the boar forest was a frozen tundra. The playful Barbatos had not reached those lands, so they remained covered by ice and snow. Every creature who ventured there risked freezing their paws and hooves off. \"It's cold, too cold! It's freezing! My claws are going to shatter!\" Even the bravest, strongest Boar King could not withstand the frigid tundra. \"Oink, oink, oink! My frozen snout is turning purple!\" There lived but a single lone wolf pup in that place. (The childish handwriting at the bottom of the page reads: \"dada, why does the little doggy have paws that don't freeze off in the cold?\")\n\nVol. 3:\n\"Now and evermore shall you be bereft of hope.\" What fate awaits the wolf pup who bears such a cruel curse? The Boar Princess, Part 3. The pup was a carefree child who had bright blue eyes and slick gray fur. When he got angry, he looked exactly like the wolf head relief atop the Mondstadt Cathedral. But one day, when he was hunting in the forest, he ran into the evil squirrel sorcerer: Woobakwa! Of all the beings in the ancient world, none were more evil than Woobakwa — not even demons and dragons. Woobaka despised everything nice, and swore to transform beauty into ugliness and turn light into dark. At the sight of the joyful wolf, anger boiled inside him. He cursed: \"Squeak! Squeak! Angry am I! I shall spike his heart with the coldest ice, and he will never again know the meaning of hope!\" With that said, Woobakwa began to curse the pup with his magic. But the rash pup gobbled him up, just like that, without the slightest warning. Woobakwa was so furious that he cursed the pup using the most foul and insulting words ever uttered by a squirrel. The pup felt the noise coming from his mouth, and only then did he realize his mistake. \"Aroo, I'm so sorry, mister squirrel, I thought you were edible!\" The pup wished to apologize to the squirrel, but he felt his throat tighten and then loosen. The squirrel slid down to his stomach with a gulp. (A sheet of paper bearing fine handwriting is taped to this page: \"Lily, this is why you should eat cautiously when you're outside.\")\n\nVol. 4:\nThe wolf pup grew up in the cold loneliness. The secret past of the lone wolf is now revealed. The Boar Princess, Part 4. No one knew just what chemical reaction occurred in the pup's stomach, but Woobakwa's curse magically came into effect! Because of the curse, the pup's heart was pierced and frozen by an icicle. The pup became cold and mean forever after, and whenever other animals showed kindness to him, he would repay them with the harshest of words or the most woeful of deeds. In the end, every animal loathed him. From then on, every wolf in the forest spoke of the pup in this way: \"Woof, what a selfish wolf he is! Such an obnoxious kid.\" \"Woof, woof, what a heartless wolf he is! Let us stay away from him.\" One by one, the pup lost all his friends. The forest welcomed the lonely pup no more, so he had no choice but to head north. The blizzards that blew in the northern tundra kept most creatures away. But with his heart already frozen solid, the pup was no longer afraid of the cold. He decided to settle down there, and became the lone wolf that roamed the tundra. (A young girl has written in the corner of the page: \"Dada, but where did Woobakwa go?\")\n\nVol. 5:\n\"No one deserves this fate.\" The good princess sheds a tear of compassion. For those who persevere as true companions, even the ice shall melt before their determination. The Boar Princess, Part 5. One day, the Boar Princess heard about the pup and was deeply saddened by his story. So she asked her people for advice on how to defrost his heart and turn him back to his former sweet self. She asked and asked, but only the wise fox and the elderly turtle knew the answer: \"Ack-ack-ack! Only sincerity and fire could melt such evil ice. Ack-ack-ack!\" The fox replied. \"Friendship demands sacrifice. No friendships come without sacrifices. I apologize for not knowing how to make funny sounds,\" the trustworthy Grandpa Turtle said. The clever Boar Princess knew right away what she had to do. She dried her tears and curtsied to the two wise animals: \"Oink oink! Thank you! I would like for you to come and see the pup with me, so that you can be the first to witness our friendship!\" When the fox and the turtle heard the Boar Princess was willing to invite them on a royal trip, their hearts were filled with joy. They set out with the Princess and headed north. (A handwritten note, seemingly from the young girl's father, is taped to the page: \"Turtles can't make noises, no matter how hard they try. The reason Grandpa Turtle apologizes for this is just because he is very polite.\")\n\nVol. 6:\nThe Boar Princess and her two wise companions brave an icy wasteland and scale a snowy mountain, where they discover a very mysterious inhabitant indeed... See how this high-altitude, low-temperature adventure unfolds in volume six of The Boar Princess. There is some childish handwriting on the title page, which reads: \"Daddy, when you get home, you have to read me the one about the snowy mountain too!\" And so, the Princess and her two wise companions arrived in the snowswept hinterland of the far north. Ice and snow covered the land as far as the eye could see. Neither the biggest, bravest animals nor even the weasel, who is the most skilled digger of them all, could find so much as a single blade of soft grass or a single piece of juicy fruit. The Princess was shivering from head to tail in the freezing cold, yet she was undaunted. Without even looking back, she pressed on deeper into the frozen wasteland. The wise fox and the trustworthy turtle could not bear the piercing wind and the freezing snow. They begged of the Princess: \"Ack-ack-ack! If His Majesty the King knew that you were adventuring to such a cold and dangerous place as this, he would be very worried! Let's head back home... Ack-ack-ack,\" exclaimed the fox. \"Yes, I agree! I fear the snowstorm will get stronger and colder with each passing second... Let us at least rest a while, and continue our journey once the wind has stopped and the sun is out? Once again, I apologize for not knowing how to make funny sounds,\" reasoned the turtle. It was to no avail. The persevering Princess did not heed the advice of her wise companions, but insisted that they continue to press on into the bitter cold of the far north. For what nobler cause could one pursue in this world than rescuing lost kin and rekindling lost friendships? Onwards they continued through the ice and snow, until their paws and hooves were purple from the cold, until each breath they exhaled turned into ice which became one with the swirling blizzard around them. Then, at the icy peak of a tall mountain, next to a frozen river which, in spite of everything, still flowed — albeit with icicles rather than water — the Princess met a spirit, swaying to and fro in the freezing wind. An ancient race of wise spirits lived atop that ice-capped mountain. They had no physical form, but possessed great magical power. \"Oink oink! Are you the master of this place? Please, O Spirit, could you guide us through this snowstorm?\" The Princess politely posed her question as her hooves, now numb from the cold, trembled in the snow. The wise fox and the trustworthy Grandpa Turtle also looked expectantly at the spirit of the snowstorm. As they gazed, their paws and flippers, respectively, numb from the cold, trembled in the snow. \"Whoosh, whoosh...\" The spirit of the snowstorm spoke softly. \"Of course, but... whoosh, whoosh...\" \"In return, I will sap your energy. The further forward you go in the storm, the more tired and hungry you will become — though I assure you, it will not be life threatening... I hope... Whoosh, whoosh...\" \"Oink oink! This is, after all, the spirit of the snowstorm,\" pondered the Princess. \"And I am also in the company of the two wisest, most caring members of my family. Whatever may happen, they will always be able to find a way!\" Without a moment's hesitation, the Princess granted the spirit of the snowstorm her request. The wise fox and the trustworthy Grandpa Turtle had no time at all to formulate, let alone articulate, any remonstration. \"Oink oink, I do declare this deal a fair one! Now, lead us to the wolf pup!\" And so, the spirit turned into an ice stream, and carried the persevering Princess over the tall mountain...\n\nVol. 7:\nAll the sacrifices made out in the frozen plains were not in vain. The perfect ending of friendship, love, life and death! This is the end to the famous and touching story, The Boar Princess. After venturing though the bitter cold and the swirling storms, the Boar Princess finally saw the pup. Covered in ice, the poor pup's once bright blue eyes had now grown dim, and he had all but forgotten how to bark. \"Aroo! You have come at the right moment, for I haven't had lunch yet!\" Hearing his words, the kind Boar Princess could not help but shed tears. Her warm tears seemed to melt a little of the ice at the tip of the pup's heart. \"Aroo! Why are you crying?\" \"Oink, oink! You are going to starve out here — I have never seen such misery in my kingdom!\" \"I will sacrifice everything to feed your hungry belly!\" The pup was stupefied by her words. \"Arooooooo! Miss, you must be mad! No one has ever dared say such a thing to me!\" But when the pup saw the determination in her eyes, his frozen heart melted some more. \"Nope! That's why...\" \"I will sacrifice two of the wisest and most caring members of my family just to feed you! It is for the sake of our friendship!\" The fox knew what horror she meant and attempted to run, but he was pinned to the ground by the pup and the Boar Princess. Grandpa Turtle was so frightened by the sight that he retreated into his shell. The pup and the Boar Princess enjoyed a delicious appetizer of fox out in the snow. Next, they found a cave, picked a few mushrooms, built a fire with some moss, and treated themselves to a tasty turtle soup. The pup felt the delight of sharing and making friends for the first time he could remember. His frozen heart melted completely, and he shed tears of joy. The Princess took the pup by his paw, and the two merrily returned to their home.

The Sunchild had long intended to punish Aberaku. Summoning the sage before the throne in this manner was but an additional way of making things difficult for him before detaining him. Legend has it that Aberaku was opened up to wisdom by Tokoyo Ookami, and was thus able to bring light to Enkanomiya, which had till then never seen the sun. But the Sunchild grew jealous of his talents, thus imprisoning him for life. Yet these children of the sun never considered that had Aberaku not created that underground star, they never would have existed in the first place. The origin of heaven and earth is like the chicken and egg, and are not dragons and snakes kin?\" No sooner had the sage Aberaku uttered these words than he was overthrown by troops lying in ambush. At that time, Enkanomiya had only just been bought some room to breathe by the appearance of the sun. The Dragonheirs loved the dark and shunned the light, and thus could no longer act with impunity. The days when the Dragonheirs would rampage and graze upon humanity like so much grass had, at last, come to an end, for the people of Enkanomiya finally had the means to resist. Yet it came to pass that the flaws in human nature would rear their ugly heads even before such outside threats could be quelled. The people chose a Sunchild, crowned him king, and worshiped him, and yet he ruled with a brutal hand, framing the righteous. Unnumbered years would pass before a young child of Enkanomiya would make a wager with his peers. Alone, he would dive beyond the three corners, evading the trail of the Dragonheirs, in search of a Dragonbone Flower. But what he found instead within a great cavern was a mighty serpent, one he had never seen before. Somehow, as he gazed upon the serpent's titanic form, the child felt no fear, but instead a kind of kinship. \"I am the Profane Serpent. Though my servants are numberless, not one mortal now dwells in my shadow. That I have fallen into this realm, and that we should meet... Perhaps this is fate. You are not one of my people, but you are human nonetheless. Speak your desire, and I shall hear it.\" \"Could you then, perchance, become our god?\" Thus did they, human and serpent, go forth to face the royal authority of the Sunchild and the incursions of the Dragonheirs beyond — thus was the curtain raised on the turning of the tide.\n\nVol. 2:\nWhat we wish to record is the tale of how heaven's will took shape on the earth below. O heavenly gods, these creations are your works. Grant us divine wisdom — let us endlessly record! \"When the Doves Held Branches\" When the eternal throne of the heavens came, the world was made anew. Then the true lord, the Primordial One, came forth and did battle against the seven terrifying sovereigns, dragon-lords of the old world. The Primordial One created shining shades of itself, and the number of these shades was four. \"On Phanes, or The Primordial One\" The Primordial One may have been Phanes. It had wings and a crown, and was birthed from an egg, androgynous in nature. But for the world to be created, the egg's shell had to be broken. However, Phanes, the Primordial One, used the eggshell to separate the \"universe\" and the \"microcosm of the world.\" \"Forty Years After the Held Branches\" Forty winters entombed the flames, and forty summers churned the seas. The Seven Sovereigns were vanquished, and the seven nations submitted to the heavens. The Primordial One, the great sovereign, began the creation of heaven and earth for \"our\" sake — that of its creations which it cherished most, who would soon appear upon this earth. ... \"Four Hundred Years After the Held Branches\" The mountains and rivers were made, and the seas and oceans accepted those who rebelled and those who would not kneel. The Primordial One and one of its shades created the birds of the air, the beasts of the earth, and the fish of the sea. Together, they also created flowers, grass, and trees, before finally creating humans — our ancestors, numerous as the stars in the sky, uncountable as the sand on the shore. From that time, our ancestors made a covenant with the Primordial One, and so entered into a new age. \"The Year of the Ark's Opening\" The Primordial One had a sacred plan for humans. As long as they were happy, it too rejoiced. \"The Year After the Ark's Opening\" The people worked the land, and so came the first harvest. The people mined, and so reaped the first crop of precious ore. The people gathered, and the first poems were written. \"The Year of Jubilee\" If there was hunger, the heavens would bring down food and rain. If there was poverty, the earth would bring forth its riches. If melancholy were to spread, the heavens would reply with their voices. The one taboo was to succumb to temptation. But the path to temptation had already been sealed. ... \"The Funerary Year\" The second throne of the heavens came, and war was rekindled, as it was in the world's creation. That day, the heavens collapsed and the earth was rent asunder. Our ancestors and their ancestral land fell into this place during that conflict. The era of darkness had begun. \"The First Year of Darkness\" The people of the Seven Sovereigns had found refuge in the oceans, and the Dragonheirs of the Depths ruled this particular place, which led to war between them and our ancestors. Our ancestors chased them into the shadows with the light of a thousand lanterns, and they hid in those shadows, hunting us. But there was only darkness in this place, and so their hunting grounds were untrammeled. The prayers of the people turned into lamentations, but the Primordial One and its three other shining shades could not hear. \"The Parable of the Sun\" In a dark cavern, there lived a group of people who had never seen the light. Among them was a sage who had once seen the sun, and he told the gathered folk about what life under the sun was like, and about the great might of the sun. Seeing that they did not comprehend, he lit a torch — and thus did people come to worship the flame, believing it to be the sun. They even got used to a life of darkness and fire. When the sage died, someone would monopolize the flame. Using it, they would cast a long shadow over the land. \"The Parable of the Lethied Lotus\" A lotus that causes all who look upon it to forget their troubles. A ship captain searching for the way back to the surface discovered a tribe of people who ate these lotuses. Some crew members stayed in that place. Others rejected that temptation. Life is a boundless ocean of suffering. We are only searching for the way home. \"The Third Year of Darkness\" We knew the only one who had not forsaken us as the \"Ruler of Time.\" She was the moment. She was every moment. She was the measure of a thousand winds and the sun and the moon. She was every second of joy, every moment of rage, every instant of longing, every minute of obsession. She was every flash of delirium. We call her Kairos, or \"the ruler of the unchanging world.\" We dare not speak her true, secret name, and so I pen it here, only once, and in reverse: \"Htoratsi.\" ... \"The Year of Blindness\" The sage Abrax's wisdom was awakened, and he unveiled a light-bringing miracle from within his hands. So our ancestors began to build the Helios, with him as their leader. ... \"The Year of Sight, or the First Year of Sun and Moon\" Helios, the divine chariot of the sun, was finally completed. The Whitenight came, and Evernight was banished. The years of the Sun and Moon had begun. \"The Second Year of Sun and Moon\" Our ancestors sought the returning way, for surely the war on the surface had ended by then. But the Primordial One, the first throne, had laid down a ban, preventing our ancestors from finding the path home. In that case, the Primordial One must have defeated the Second Who Came. Abrax was imprisoned by order of the Sunchild. \"The Parable of the Tree\" The king's gardener and the tree spirit of the royal garden were in love. But the king wished to repair the beams of his pavilion, and so needed to cut down the tree with the most spiritual energy within it. The king was the incarnation of the Primordial One, and the gardener could not defy the sovereign of sovereigns, and so he could only bring his plea to the king's priest, who was the incarnation of Tokoyo Ookami. The priest had pity on the gardener and said to him: \"Go, and cut the branches of the spirit-tree down.\" The gardener did so, and afterward did as the king ordered, cutting the spirit-tree itself down. Then the priest said: \"Plant the spirit-tree's branches in the ground.\" But the gardener said: \"A spirit-tree shall take five hundred years to grow.\" The priest said: \"Your one thought shall echo through eternity.\" And so the gardener planted the branches in his back yard. In an instant, the slim branches grow into a new tree, and the new tree spirit was a continuation of the past one. For it is the God of Moments who is able to take \"seeds\" from this \"moment\" into the past and the future. The Tenth Year of Sun and Moon Abrax is long gone. The events before the sun and the moon have been recorded sufficiently. Well, if I did not dare to write things down just as they happened, how could I consider myself a scribe of Tokoyo Ookami? Hark, I hear armor without. Here, I shall stop writing.\n\nVol. 3:\nThe lands beneath the aphotic depths are vastly different from those on the surface, to the extent that all surface-derived common sense must be abandoned down below. All we formerly knew of land and sea was given unto us directly by the heavens. In this new world of ours, we must begin groping even for the simplest methodologies anew. O you who come after and read these words, do not take the life you lead for normalcy. Even if after a hundred or a thousand years, people should grow used to life down here, always remember — these days with neither sun nor moon are abnormal. Even if some sage were to draw us the sun, there will surely be filthy wretches who will borrow its light to cast long shadows over us. This book is intended to help people understand the world they live in, and to never forget our desire to return to the light. (This book has been constantly edited, redacted, and modified over the years. Even the name of the book's title has seen change from \"Aphotic Earth\" to \"Tokoyokoku,\" before becoming \"Byakuyakoku.\" Later, due to the grace of Watatsumi, the people of the depths would return to the sea's surface. But it seems like \"Aphotic Earth\" has some special meaning, and it has not been universally changed throughout the text.) Of Wind and Water Byakuyakoku has no mountains to speak of, and so it is pointless to speak of them. However, our priests and sages have detected something. Even in these depths, the power of the \"undying wind\" and the \"water\" still remain. The personification of the \"undying wind\" is known as \"Tokoyo Ookami,\" and is poetically rendered \"the thousand winds\" or \"the thousand winds of time.\" \"Water,\" on the other hand, is the might of the Vishap Realm, represented by the Bathysmal Vishaps. We have already developed a certain field of study regarding the relationship between Sunfire, wind, and water. As such, both hydrology and the undying wind must be considered before undertaking any project of civil engineering. The Borders of Byakuyakoku The borders of Byakuyakoku are marked out by three corners. These mark the limits of the see-saw clash between humanity and the vishaps. During the era of Byakuyakoku, Towers of the Three Realms were built at these three corners, used to harmonize the three realms. Their ancient names have been lost to time, and they were renamed after the coming of Watatsumi. These towers are exceedingly important, and they are not in locations aligned with either wind or water. Rather, their purpose is to stabilize the tendencies of Byakuyakoku and control its winds and waters. If these towers were to be imperiled, so would the entire nation. As such, they have been hidden using secret arts. Only the shrine maidens and the Vassals of Watatsumi can summon them forth. The Narrows The Narrows were, in the earliest times, sandwiched between the mountain face and an area known as the Roundlands, thus earning that location its name. However, the exceedingly strange tectonic shifts in Byakuyakoku caused the Roundlands to collapse into the depths, thus causing The Narrows to widen significantly. The Serpent's Heart From the first time our ancestors discovered this place, it had already played host to a unique phenomenon in which space itself might overlap in a certain locale. Later, those who came before us would utilize this phenomenon by creating the Serpent's Heart. It would be used to guard secrets, imprison criminals, and worship the great imaginary serpent, Ouroboros. In the earliest times, this place was called Delphi, the land of snakes. This name did not change even after the arrival of Watatsumi Omikami. Ancient art depicts the scaleless serpent as \"Ouroboros,\" and the coral-adorned serpent as \"Orobashi.\" Dainichi Mikoshi The earliest name of this place was \"Helios,\" and it was the high tower built by the sage Aberaku, standing for earth, the element between wind and water. According to prophecy, this was likely the sun that the sage displayed, used to light those lightless caverns. And just as those prophecies suggested, it was also later used to cast a great shadow over the nation.\n\nVol. 4:\n...Effective today, all experiments regarding the Dragonheirs will be directed by Watatsumi Omikami in person. All files preceding the founding year of the Watatsumi calendar have been destroyed. Dossier serial numbers shall no longer use the categories Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon, which used the ancient Watatsumi tongue. Instead, we shall use Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Ether, and Void going forward. All quotes and notations are to be written within quotation marks (\"\"). The following order of writing should be observed: File Header-Serial Number-Subject-Author. Author can be omitted, or their internal title within the research lab may be used. Usage of a researcher's ancient Byakuyakoku/Enkanomiya name or modern Watatsumi/Narukami/Inazuman name is forbidden. These experimental records are not to be used for the writing of diaries, love letters, or fantasy novels. ... The Dragonheirs' (hereafter named Bathysmal Vishaps or simply vishaps) evolution is plain for all to see. (\"Water-101-Dragonheir Evolution: I\") We have tried lowering the temperature in the living environs of a young heat-resistant vishap. As a result, they were weaker once matured. We suspect that this is because its body did not possess the \"seed\" required to resist such an environment. However, its descendants would all possess high body fat, greater predilection towards sleep, and would express the Cryo element. (Please refer to the experimental data after the main text. The abnormal data derived from Sample 3 is due to my assistant feeling sorry for the subject of the anti-hunger control group and feeding it surreptitiously.) When we then placed their descendants into sweltering conditions, they would again choose, like their ancestors, the heat resistance trait. However, none of them have developed traits indicative of the Pyro element thus far. We do not have enough data to reach a conclusion at present, but we can make an educated guess that Bathysmal Vishaps have the ability to awaken their \"seed\" freely before maturation. Vishap mothers can also create new \"seeds\" to pass on to their descendants should they encounter heretofore unseen, challenging environments. It can be said that even before encountering us, the people of Enkanomiya, the Bathysmal Vishaps had already stored a veritable armory within their bodies. ... The results of the intelligence tests are astonishing. (\"Void-207-Vishap Intelligence Research\"). Through a screening process consisting of rewards and punishments (although previous research indicates that screening is unnecessary — vishaps are, one and all, adapters par excellence), the linguistic capacities of vishaps four generations down are starting to approach that of a 12-year-old human student. Perhaps it might be more accurate to say that vishaps always had their own methods of communication, and what they are displaying here is their ability to learn. We believe that these experiments should be stopped. If not, we may yet be proven narrow-minded for having dismissed that last person who wrote a fantastical tale about vishap-people. Prophecy holds that the Dragon Sovereign of Water will be born in a human form. We must not let this thing happen in Enkanomiya. ... All previous attempts at grafting have failed. (\"Void-907-Watatsumi Omikami's Special Orders: I\"). Because they cannot accept Watatsumi Omikami's blood, the vishaps will fall victim to various adverse effects. Perhaps they are not yet strong enough, but we cannot be sure — indeed, according to our rationalized vishap evolutionary roadmap, we should have already bred the strongest vishap possible. ... The grafting can be considered a success. (\"Void-907-Watatsumi Omikami's Special Orders: III\"). The rejection originates from the vishaps having been beings of the Light Realm (also known as elemental creatures), and thus being at odds with the Human Realm, of which Omikami and its coral vassals are a part. All experimental logs are closed. No experiment conducted here resulted in the death of any Dragonheirs — they all lived to see the end of their days. Praise be to Watatsumi Omikami, gracious and beneficent.\n\nVol. 5:\nQuestion 1: What walks on four feet in the early morning, two feet during the day, and three feet at night? Answer: A vishap who transforms into a person to attend a ball, then breaks one of its legs and eventually ends up walking with a cane. Sages like this answer the most, and it is the children get it right almost exclusively. For adults, it always smells like a horrible conspiracy when a vishap turns into a human. According to a prophecy of old, the Dragon of Water, the ancient lord of vishaps, will definitely descend in the form of a human. However, for children, the answer to the question indicates the possibility of mutual understanding. But it is not a good idea to make vishaps sound adorable. Though such jokes defang the fear, they also lower the guard of the children. (Dragonheirs of the Depths have evolved to wield the power of other elements and have hence lost their purity. As such, the Dragon of Water will no longer be born from among their ranks.) Question 2: With only one mouth, this being sometimes has four feet, sometimes, two feet, and sometimes, three feet. Though unable to morph into other things, it is able to walk on the earth, swim in the water, and fly in the sky. The more feet it walks on, the feebler it grows. What is this being? Answer: A human. Humans crawl on hands and feet as babies, walk on two legs as adults, and use a cane as elders. The answer is undoubtedly \"a human.\" Question 3: What talks with only one mouth but walks on four and two feet? Answer: Someone raising livestock. This riddle is a very ancient one. In the past, we could only understand the meaning of livestock from reading texts. \"Four legs\" refers to four-legged animals like the Aux, Hors, and Foreste Bore. After Byakuyakoku fell into the ocean depths, these animals died out within two generations due to a lack of habitable land and food. Since the arrival of Watatsumi Omikami, some of us have returned to the sea's surface to build a home and interact with the people there. Therefore, we have been able to review the names of these animals. According to the Vassal and the Omikami's prophecy, we shall all move back to the sea's surface someday, so it is important to get these names right. Aux means cattle, Hors means horse, and Foreste Bore means forest boar. Question 4: Who are the two sisters who give birth to each other every day? Answer: Day and night, or Whitenight and Evernight. This riddle is easy to understand. It alludes to the succession of day and night, which in Byakuyakoku means the cyclical Whitenight and Evernight under the control of the Dainichi Mikoshi. Though the land was in everlasting night before the Dainichi Mikoshi was built, the light of day that people had seen has remained unchanged. By the way, the two special astronomical phenomena of Byakuyakoku — the mirages and the Sinshades — were at first indiscriminately referred to as Eidolons and seen as the two sides of the same coin. It was not until the arrival of Watatsumi Omikami that the people of Byakuyakoku were able to understand the two phenomena and name them differently. Though the sun did not shine upon Byakuyakoku, the mirages that appeared in Whitenights were named Sunfire Phantasms and those of Evernight, Ghostfire Phantasms. As time went by, both of them came to be referred to as Sunfire Phantasms, for they are essentially the same thing. Question 5: I am the Shadowborn of the Lord of Light. I am a wingless bird that rises from the earth to the sky. Those who shed tears in my presence feel no sorrow in their bosoms. Away with a gentle breeze I fade, and thus ends my fleeting life. Answer: The answer is smoke. Birds are winged creatures, and it is normal that they are not seen in Enkanomiya. Question 6: A father has twelve children, each then giving birth to sixty daughters of different appearances. Of them, thirty are pale and thirty are dark. The whole family, knowing not death, will only fade away. Who is the father? Answer: The answer is the year. The people of Byakuyakoku may find the part about sixty pale or dark granddaughters a bit confusing. But everything will start to make sense once they crack Question 4. There used to be a sequel to this riddle in ancient times. It roughly said that every granddaughter would give birth to twelve descendants, and each of them would then have sixty children. Every such child later would give birth to another sixty, who would go on to have children of their own. This would continue until at last, all the offspring would together give birth to the one and only primordial child — Tokoyo Ookami, the \"mother\" of fourteen billion years. Watatsumi Omikami forbade people from spreading this riddle. ...

A poem penned by an author unknown. The writing style seems to give off a strange and ominous aura. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nOnce, in a dream, I saw a black ship. It sailed through dark night and bleak fog. The hull was rotten, the mast shattered, Yet in some perverse jest at human rationality, Each broken piece had been placed in some twisted way, Entwined together by the algae and seaweed that enveloped the vessel, Forming a dreadful dark shadow that shambled through the moonlight, That none could glimpse and not panic. Shift your gaze just a little, and in an instant, It shall appear again before you. A tall and slim figure standing upon the deck, Wrapped in dark robes, its face barely seen. Only its eyes, those two cold eyes, Which can pierce your soul with a glance. Was that a monster that arose from the depths of the seas? A lord returned from some ancient world? Or perhaps the nightmare itself?\n\nVol. 2:\nBy the banks of the world's purest lake, There once stood a glistening castle. Gold leaf and gems decorated its walls, And it shone blinding in the post-noon sun. Pretty banners and flags flew from the roof, While majestic towers soared alongside. Guests from afar peered through colorful windows, And marveled at the wonders every step revealed. Yet none was more marvelous than the many statues, Odd in form but as real as life. In the center of the hall sat a golden stage, Where musicians played day and night for the castle's master. As the music sounded, listeners flocked like swarming bees, To dance in time with the beat that seemed to captivate the entire world. The wine flowed never-ending to sate the thirst for revelry. All could partake, no matter their class or their homeland, But none of this could ease the master's fears, Or bring his troubled soul a moment of peace. And each time the tower's clock struck its deep midnight chime, He would be possessed by an uncontrollable panic, Trapped by his fears and his gloom. The dark-robed figure would surely collect on debts owed, And all before his eyes would be turned into dust, The souls of his guests, and his own, included, As tribute to that dark, ancient world.\n\nVol. 3:\nAt first, all was still, apart from the curtains in the breeze, And the faint sounds of animals chewing, echoing through the walls from some unknown place. Then, an odd rasping laugh erupted from an empty room, A nameless horror spreading in the dark. Then, with terrible thunder and storm, A glowing red fog-cloud, Embraced the castle just like a shroud. On the castle's great central stage, a tall thin figure did appear, A dark spirit in black robes, arriving at last. The guests, a moment ago enjoying their revels, Fell to the floor one by one, Bereft of time even to scream. The master sat shivering and still on his throne, His soul also snatched by the dark. Amid the roar of brick and tile hitting the ground, The castle's glory faded into the past, Swallowed by glimmering waves. The blood moon the towers once blocked reappeared in the sky, Its baleful glow sweeping the land. And today, by the banks of the world's purest lake, The water reflects the long-fallen, faded castle. The joy and brilliance that once lit its halls, Consigned to legends and dreams. The ruins lie suffocated in the gloom. Through shattered windows, statues appear as like to monsters, Who with the discordant tune that played sank with the castle into the sea. There is nothing there now, bar darkness, death, and loss." } ]

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\n...I don't dare presume to mention her true name, let alone overstep my bounds as an earthly being to judge her divinity. I, Sunitha Cosamvi, a servant of shallow intellect, have merely recorded the stories heard from the sages who followed her in the past and nowhere else. These words are as true and evident as my own existence. When the moon's shadow shattered, hordes of beasts emerged from the deepest depths of the abyss and devoured living creatures by the thousands. Of those she created, none could escape their destined annihilation. The goodness, peace, and wisdom she had bestowed — all perished before this pure malice without exception. Under that sneering waning moon, the black tide of decay surged over the deserts and through the valleys, turning clear springs once interlaced with roses into puddles of filth, defiling the earth as mortals trembled with despair. The sages called it The Black Tide, for it was a dark flood that swallowed up fields, villages, and cities. She witnessed this all with her own eyes and wept bitterly for the sorrow and suffering of the living. Her tears fell to the ground, dispelling the foul flames and giving birth to blossoms abounding with sweet dew from the once barren and scorched earth. However, the root cause of the blight still lay beneath the earth, and the shadow of death continued to obscure the once luminous moonlight. Thus, she vowed to save the creatures of the earth, embarking on a final journey together with her followers.\n\nVol. 2:\nShe followed the dappled light and shade until she entered a long-since ruined forest. With each step she took, a thousand Nilotpala Lotuses bloomed in her wake. Every calamity — raging fires, death, and destruction — all receded before the wonder of her wisdom. Fragrant flowers bloomed and proliferated again in this dead domain and remain as abundant today as the gravel in the Ardravi River. Even hurricanes abated into gentle exhalations before her singing, causing the bells on her lapels to sway as they rang out elegantly. All the spirits, their envoys, humans, and the inhuman rejoiced and praised her name, for she is indeed the most sagacious and the most merciful. In the depths of the forest, she collected grass to use as an instrument, picked flowers for a crown, and played a flawless tune with a Karrenay. In an instant, thousands of demonic troops were reduced to dust and scattered to the four winds, never to be found again. She gently brushed away the tears of the forest creatures and soothed their anguish, just as she once blew the wind of life across the barren sea of sand, like the emissary of an eternal oasis from time immemorial. But this land remained broken, its heart devoured by evil spirits and monsters who made it their dwelling — a cavern of the damned where neither sun, moon, nor fire shine. The dust they took for treasure and the sludge served as their delicacies, like birds clad in feathers but unable to soar in the skies. She decided that she would go to the dark cave and enter that evil place that none might depart, continuing on this path of no restitution, this sojourn of utmost purity and mercy. She stepped alone to that emptied earthly heart and softly touched its timeless face, becoming the immortal Gaokerena and the earth itself. Every thread of spiritual knowledge and every sweet-smelling plant is her undying will. Another flourishing sea of flowers rolled around her, jade in color, rosy in fragrance and dewy as heavenly raiment. The songs of a hundred birds surrounded her, praising the life that she had at last reclaimed, like a mortal trading their old clothes for fresh ones, casting off their original shackles, and ascending to the eternal temple.\n\nVol. 3:\nMany people had never before heard her voice, or if they had, they did not know it was her. Those who disseminate well because they hear words from far and wide are as rare as those who teach well because they understand the truth. Her will is all-pervading and as indestructible as intellect itself. None can destroy the indestructible, for there has never been an absence of existence in this world, nor the existence of absence. It must be known that the forest was once overrun by a black tide of beasts. The moonlight spilling over the still water was as shattered as the dream it reflected, and the endless labyrinth too collapsed in the burning flames. The lord of all animals let out a furious roar with its dying breath, then fell protecting all that she had entrusted to him. But the memories themselves did not shatter, collapse, nor fall. Like the wisdom she left behind, they were unborn, imperishable, eternal, and ancient. Following her guidance, the princess of the kingdom of dreams gently snapped off the white branches and rebuilt the verdant hunting grounds from the withered fallen leaves, while the children of the forest, having set forth their ambition, were able to sleep peacefully in the end once more. No matter how much they suffer, the hunter always finds their way home — This is the first and final promise she made to the children, and to the adults who were once children. Perhaps the moon dust scattered over the world will one day fade away like morning dew, but for those things that remain in memories — all those sweet dreams and thoughts — their purity will remain as unchanged as a pearl that even the grinding and whittling of a thousand winds and sands may not alter." } ]

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\n\"Dandelion, Dandelion, ride the wind to a faraway land,\" the Fox chants. An unforgettable Mondstadt fairytale about a hunter and a fox. The Fox in the Dandelion Sea, an 11-part story, begins here. \"Dandelion, dandelion, ride the wind to a faraway land.\" The little fox chanted. He blew the dandelion flower and sent the seeds flying. He then spoke in a more serious tone. \"May my teacher's wishes ride the wind and reach the Anemo Archon.\" A wind blew past us and swept away the dandelion seeds. Did they fly to a better place, carrying my hopes and dreams there with them? When did this happen? Some time ago, behind the village, there grew a forest of countless lush trees. At the center of this forest was a small lake. The lake was like the stained glass windows of Mondstadt Cathedral: crystal clear and shimmering in the sunlight. The sun shone through the treetops and glistened on the water's surface like fragments of gemstone. It was really something. The weather was cool that day. I was hunting in the forest when I arrived at the lake's edge. The shimmering water somehow reminded me of a girl I loved a long time ago. I couldn't remember much about her, but felt that her eyes must have looked like the lake, glittering as if harboring fragments of gemstone within. I became lost in thought as I stared at the glistening water. Walking transfixed along the lakeside, I had forgotten entirely that I was out for a hunt. I came to when I heard the sound of something freezing up. It was a Mist Flower growing by the lake, having just frozen the water around it. Next to it was a white fox, its tail frozen in the ice. Poor critter. \"It must have had its tail in the water by the Mist Flower while it was drinking.\" Mist Flowers are dangerous plants and can cause frostbite if handled without care. Extreme caution must be taken when handling them. As it saw me approach, the fox struggled in fear, but its still-frozen tail kept it rooted to the spot. The fox whimpered in pain. \"Oh no, this won't do.\" I thought to myself. \"Poor critter. It's gonna die anyway if I don't save it, may as well end its pain by bringing it home as my game for the day.\" I imagined what a delicious fox stew I could cook with the carrots I grew. Just thinking about it gave me energy and brought a smile to my face. So I took out my hunting bow and slowly walked toward it. \"Be good and stay put.\"\n\nVol. 2:\n\"Be good and stay put.\" Trapped by a Mist Flower, what does fate have in store by the fox who met a hunter? The story of the Hunter and the Fox continues in Part 2. \"Be good and stay put.\" That's what my father's father had taught me. When I went fox hunting, I always chanted his words silently, so that my hands wouldn't shake when pulling the bowstring. But just as I was about to release the arrow, the fox lifted its head and looked me straight in the eye. It had eyes like the lake, glistening as if harboring fragments of gemstone within. My head began spinning, as if a strong wind were blowing inside it. My arrow missed its target and instead smashed the ice, releasing the fox's tail. The fox raised its tail and looked at me once more before running off into the forest. I came to my senses and began the chase — but who in this world can run faster than a fox? Gradually, the fox began to shrink into the distance, eventually turning into a white spot. \"Hey! Don't go!\" I shouted, barely catching my breath. After hearing my words, the spot seemed to slow. \"Is it waiting for me?\" I pondered. \"If running for its life, a fox is able to shake off anyone in no time.\" Foxes are strange animals. Even when running on a flat plain like at Windrise, where one can see clearly for miles ahead, they somehow still seem to disappear from view. It's almost as if they run into another world. This led me to my conclusion: \"The fox must be waiting for me!\" Convinced of this fact, I chased the glittering white spot for hours on end. Suddenly, a chilling wind began to blow. I stood there, shivering, and what I saw next astounded me. \"How can this be?\" Suddenly, instead of one, there were now two white spots. More appeared. Three, four, five... They seemed to grow in number as the winds blew. Eventually I lost track. Suddenly, with a stinging sensation, one of them flew directly into my eye. Upon inspection, I discovered that the spots were in fact nothing more than dandelion seeds floating in the wind. The fox had disappeared. I laughed at my own foolishness and went home. For supper, I had carrot fox stew — though without fox, or any other meat for that matter. The gods know how much I hate boiled carrots without meat! I felt starving, and in time fell asleep. I awoke in the middle of the night to something stirring outside my door.\n\nVol. 3:\nThe Hunter of fruitless hunts was awoken by a commotion outside. Who is at his door? The story of the Hunter and the Fox continues. The Fox in the Dandelion Sea, Part 3. Having failed to catch the fox, I went to sleep with only tasteless boiled carrots in my stomach. If not for what happened next, I would have forgotten about the fox by now. I awoke with a start to strange noises coming from outside my door. \"Perhaps boars have come to eat my carrots?\" I hopped out of bed and opened my door. To my surprise, there stood a tiny little white fox. Its fur was so white that it glowed in the dark, not unlike the way sunlight sparkles on water after filtering through the treetops. \"This must be the same fox from earlier!\" I thought again of those eyes that looked like gemstones in the water, gazing at me as if from the depths of my heart. And so I walked over to the fox, unarmed and with tired eyes. This time it stayed still and waited for me in silence. The closer I drew, the greater in stature it became. By the time I stood before it, it had magically transformed into a human. She was a tall and slender woman, with a swan-like neck and pearly skin. Her eyes sparkled like gemstone fragments in pools of water — in the darkness they seemed to shine like rays of sunlight on water after filtering through the treetops. \"What a beauty. She looks a lot like the girl I fell in love with long ago, though I barely remember her name. Those eyes tell me she must be her.\" I thought to myself. \"This can't be. Must be some type of fox magic.\" Stranger still, the idea of \"fox magic\" had only occurred to me in that instant. You'd believe anything after you'd seen those eyes. For all the magic and transformation I had witnessed, nothing amazed me quite as much as the gemstone lakes of her eyes. For a while, we stood silently in the dead of night. And at last she spoke. Though not in our common tongue, I could somehow understand her. Some other magic, perhaps. \"I would have died by that lake, if you had not come in my hour of need.\" She paused and continued: \"Although to die by that gemstone lake is no bad thing,\" \"We foxes are grateful beings, so you must let me return the favor.\" She bowed to me, her long silky black hair flowing down her shoulders like streams.\n\nVol. 4:\nAfter a few days apart, a long-awaited reunion takes place on a midsummer's night amidst a veritable blizzard of dandelion seeds. At the direction of the fox, an ocean of dandelions opens up before the hunter's very eyes... For the next few days after that night, the fox never came again. But in those few days, prey in the forest became gradually more abundant. Everything from small finches, long-legged cranes, and even scurrying boars... Maybe it was the change in season, or some sort of repayment from the fox. Whatever the case, the following days brought real stew to the table. But the fox never came again. As strange as it may seem, it had honestly been easier to sleep hungry. Even with a full, satisfied stomach, I couldn't help but think about the day we met, and the woman that the fox had turned into... When would I gaze upon her eyes again, glittering... like water in a lake. Lying half-asleep with a heart full of turmoil, I heard a faint sound outside my door. I hopped from the bed and swung the door open, eager to see a small white silhouette awaiting me. But there were no lake-blue eyes, and there was no fluffy white foxtail. Instead, all I could see were dandelion seeds drifting in the white moonlight, floating like snowflakes in the air. Suddenly, something got caught in my nostrils. \"Ah-Ahchooo!!!\" Immediately, the fluffy white dandelion seeds began to swirl, filling the sky like a snowstorm. Amidst the flurry of dandelion seeds, a pair of jewel-like eyes were looking at me, staring straight into my heart. Waving away the swirling dandelion seeds, I started walking towards the small fox. The fox raised its ears and its furry tail flitted across the grass as it turned and disappeared into the depths of the forest. I hurried and followed closely behind. In amongst the darkness of the trees, soft patches of white could be seen weaving between the shadows. Their silhouettes tip-toed like moonlight cast among the tree leaves, or like the hesitant strides of a crafty Seelie. With unfaltering trust, I followed the fox round and about, soon emerging from the dark forest in a seemingly faraway land. There, in the moonlight, a sea of dandelions lay before me, stretching as far as my eyes could see. Stunned by the sight, I began to notice a rustling noise coming from just behind me. It was a light, delicate sound. Like that of a girl walking barefoot across pine needles and leaves on the ground. The fox approached me from behind. The night air ferried her presence, cool and damp, whisked together with the slightly bitter fragrance of dandelion flowers. Two hands with slender, ice-cold fingers rested upon my shoulders. She leaned in close to my ear and her long hair draped down over my shoulder. Behind me, I felt the soft rhythm of both her breath and her heartbeat. It made me feel calm and at ease. \"Only the foxes know the way to this place. It is the homeland of the dandelions. It is my desire that you would tarry here, and teach my child human language... In return, I will teach you the magic of foxes.\" There was a tickle in my ear, as if one of the dandelion seeds had grazed it on its journey into the warm night air. Strange. I had certainly never mentioned anything about magic to her before. How could she have known? Without answering, she took my hand and led me into the depths of the sea of dandelions. The night breezes from both north and south carried the bitter fragrance of dandelion flowers and faded memories... In those fields of velvet white, she showed me how foxes play gently together in their own fashion, until the moon rose high into the starry sky.\n\nVol. 5:\nUpon accepting the Fox's conditions, he came to the place where all the prey who disappeared had eventually gone to — an endless field of dandelions. The story of the Hunter and the Fox in the sea of dandelions. The Fox in the Dandelion Sea, Part 5. In a boundless sea of dandelions that existed in the middle of nowhere, I watched as the seeds took off at the softest touch of the breeze. Suddenly, I knew the answer to that question that had been lingering on my mind for years. \"So all the foxes that disappear during the hunt, this is where they hide away.\" I thought to myself. \"What a beautiful place.\" But when I began teaching the little fox to speak our common tongue, my heart always felt empty, like a wind was blowing inside of me. When we talked, I would look into her gemstone-lake eyes. In those moments I felt like I was speaking not to the fox, but to a girl I used to love many years ago. And so, when she was around me, it was as if I were in the presence of the child of someone I had once loved: We had an enjoyable time together, but the experience was somehow tinged with sadness. But the thought of her promise — if I succeeded in teaching her child to speak the common tongue... \"I shall impart the magic of transformation to you when the time comes.\" Remembering the way she made that solemn promise to me... I knew she was serious, and that gave me determination. Could I transform into a flying bird once I'd mastered the magic? How high would I be able to fly? Maybe I could transform into a fish, and finally have the chance to go to Musk Reef. \"I could even use magic to hunt!\" I couldn't contain my excitement. \"No more meatless carrot stews for me...\" I lost track of how long I stayed in the dandelion sea, where everything sways gently with the wind. One reason was that the little one was such a fast learner! I taught him not only our language, but everything I knew in one package, including how to count, how to grow carrots, how to change window panes, and how to sharpen knives. When it came to rest, we would talk idly. \"Why must you learn human speech?\" He answered swiftly: \"So that when I transform into a human, I can befriend them!\" I continued: \"Why would you want to befriend the humans?\" He dropped his gaze.\n\nVol. 6:\n\"Why do you want to learn the language of human?\" \"So I can befriend humans when I become one.\" The child-like voice says, in the sea of dandelions. The Fox in the Dandelion Sea, Part 6. \"Why must you learn human speech?\" On one occasion, I asked the little fox this question. He answered cheerfully in the common tongue: \"So that when I transform into a human, I can befriend them!\" \"Why would you want to befriend the humans?\" This seemed to make him sad, and he dropped his gaze. \"I saw a boy in the distant forest.\" \"He was dressed in gray. He looked and had eyes like a wolf,\" he added. \"I had just mastered my magic, and was running around excitedly on my hind legs. Running on grass was fun! But sadly, due to the difference in height, a fox can't see or smell the same things that a human can.\" \"I'm sure you can guess what happened next, teacher! Suddenly, I realized a horrible truth — I was lost.\" There was pain in his voice as he relayed the events of that day. In the end, he had wandered into some faraway wood, and encountered vicious monsters. Just when he thought he was done for, the gray lupine boy suddenly leapt out of the forest and chased away the monsters. Without a word, he then turned around and vanished into the woods. \"If I could transform into a human and speak their language, I could track him down and make friends with him!\" He said gleefully. I couldn't help but ask when I heard his reply: \"Am I not your friend?\" The little one answered sincerely in the common tongue: \"Mommy told me that it's different because you're my teacher — but I'd only hurt you if I tell you that.\" He tilted his head in befuddlement. His fluffy tail patted the surrounding dandelions as he pondered over this difficult issue. \"I know!\" He burst out. \"If I know something that you don't, that would make me your teacher.\" \"If we are both teachers, that would make us equals — then we can be friends!\" Still unfamiliar with the common tongue, he did his best to get the sentence out quickly. \"Teacher, please allow me to teach you some magic that only I know.\"\n\nVol. 7:\n\"Dandelion, Dandelion, ride the wind to a faraway land,\" the Fox chants. Can the Hunter also learn magic to make his wish come true? The Fox in the Dandelion Sea, Part 7. \"Teacher, please allow me to teach you some magic that only I know.\" Still unfamiliar with the common tongue, he did his best to get the sentence out quickly, eager to befriend me. He picked a little dandelion. \"Dandelion, dandelion, ride the wind to a faraway land.\" The little fox chanted. He blew the dandelion flower and sent the seeds flying. He then spoke in a more serious tone. \"May my teacher's wishes ride the wind and reach the Anemo Archon.\" A wind blew past us and swept away the dandelion seeds. \"See? The Anemo Archon has just answered my wish!\" He exclaimed merrily. \"What wish did you make?\" \"To become friends with my teacher.\" He lowered his head abruptly. \"It must have been tiring to teach him to speak your language. Our mouths are structured differently from yours, so I must thank you for your effort.\" We had not noticed the mother fox approaching. Her eyes were like bottomless lakes, and the little fox quietly hid himself among the dandelions to escape her gaze. \"When he has mastered human language,\" I thought to myself. \"When he has mastered human language,\" She spoke softly.\n\nVol. 8:\n\"When he has mastered human language...\" The fox's voice is gently carried away by the midnight breeze, drifting further and further away together with the dandelion seeds... After all, the fox is a different kind of creature from the human, and the two do not share all the same sense of mirth and misery... \"When he has mastered human language...\" Thus she softly said. I looked at her face, mesmerized. I couldn't hear what she said after that. The mischievous night breeze was laden with dandelion seeds, which muffled her words. Or perhaps that was her native language? The language of dandelions? She began to laugh as she perceived my clumsy, gauche appearance. She had the most beautiful laugh. The curved pupils in her eyes glistened like two crescent moons shining on ripples in the lake. \"Now, tell me then, why is it you wish to learn fox magic?\" \"I want to learn to transform just like foxes do. That way I could turn into a bird and fly to the highest of heights, and behold places that were once too far for my eyes to see.\" That was my reply. \"Ahh yes, no longer will I need to lie in wait among the bushes while hunting. Instead, I will be able to freely soar high above like a falcon.\" Thus I kept thinking to myself. As I was thought to myself, the dandelion seed in my hand began to float up towards the moonlight, almost as if it had heard my thoughts. \"I see...\" She lowered her head slightly and her long, black hair flowed down her neck like a waterfall, glistening in the moonlight. Her pale white skin shone brightly, seemingly reflecting the wisps of clouds in the night sky above. I couldn't take my eyes off her. After a moment, I quickly turned my gaze away as I started blushing again. Foxes are free animals. They would never cover their beauty because of shame like humans do. Although this certainly wasn't the first time I beheld her, every time the moonlight shone upon her long hair, I couldn't help but blush and look away. She turned her face in thought for a moment, and let out a gentle sigh. She seemed rather displeased. We sat amidst the dandelion sea, not saying a word. A long time passed, long enough that I started thinking that she might be angry with me. \"We foxes are grateful beings. I will teach you the magic of transformation, and so fulfill your wish.\" The fox said, turning her face towards me. Her lake-blue eyes shone in the moonlight, and it made me feel at peace. Thank goodness, she wasn't mad at me. For some reason I could not clearly name, I quietly heaved a sight of relief.\n\nVol. 9:\nWhen I have taught all that there is to teach, will it be possible to see this sea of dandelions again...? In the dandelion sea, the hunter starts to contemplate leaving. Foxes are clever animals. Clever and cunning. The little fox learned very quickly, and could sometimes even ask questions that would stump me. For human speech is complicated and intricate, nothing like the innocence of animal speech. Sometimes, language is like a yarn ball caught in the paws of a cat. It catches here and there, and there again it catches a student's tongue, sometimes even tripping a teacher up. But foxes are clever animals, and very quickly they learn the many intricacies of human speech that were handed down over the generations, becoming able to describe the way dandelions float away, or how the moonlight shines over the lake in a rudimentary manner. Every time the little fox discovered a new term, every time he tried using unfamiliar words to explore a familiar world, to bestow meanings upon the wind, dandelions and the earth, she would be beside him, smiling, watching us. The little fox learned very quickly, but I did not take much joy from that. When I had run out of things to teach, would she still keep me here in this dandelion sea? When that time came, would I still be able to behold those beautiful eyes under the moonlight? Would she still lead me into the depths of the dandelion sea, smiling slyly as we frolicked and breathed in the bitter fragrance that came from both the north and south winds? As I thought about such things, I became lost in sullen memory. Yes, that's right. On that night that I could no longer remember clearly, when I was about to part with the girl I loved, this same moon had hung in the sky as well. \"Thank you for everything up till now.\" Before I knew it, the fox had walked in front of me. She bowed, and her hair spilled over her shoulders, flowing like water in the glimmering moonlight. \"Once he has learned human speech, he should be able to make more new friends.\" \"I am truly thankful to you for all you've done. He has also cheered up significantly since beginning to learn the human language.\" She gazed at me, her deep, unfathomable eyes shining like jewels. \"Still, once you have finished teaching us the human language, where will you go then?\" Enraptured by those shining eyes, I forgot to reply. Was this fox magic, too? Seeing my wooden expression, the fox laughed and sighed. Then, she turned and began walking in the direction of the moon, leading me further into the center of the moonlit dandelion sea. Seeing this, the little fox swished its tail from side to side, and burrowed into the dandelion fields.\n\nVol. 10:\nThe somber parting has finally arrived... The Fox bids farewell to its mother, teacher, and the dandelion sea. It's time to live up to the promise. The Fox in the Dandelion Sea, Part 10. The little fox kept waving back to us as he walked. His figure grew smaller and smaller until it became a tiny white spot, which blended into the dandelion sea and slowly faded away. After he had gone, the mother fox turned and walked over to me. The closer she drew, the greater in stature she became. By the time she stood before me, she had transformed into a human. She was a tall and slender woman, with a swan-like neck and pearly skin. Her eyes sparkled like gemstone fragments in pools of water — in the darkness they seemed to shine like rays of sunlight on water after filtering through the treetops. \"What a beauty. She looks a lot like the girl I fell in love with long ago, though I barely remember her name. Those eyes tell me she must be her.\" I thought to myself. For all the magic and transformation I had witnessed, still nothing amazed me quite as much as the gemstone lakes of her eyes. For a while, we stood silently in the boundless dandelion sea. At last, I could no longer contain myself, and opened my mouth: \"Is this the magic you wanted to teach me? The magic of transformation?\" \"It is. I am most grateful to you for all your help over this long period.\" She bowed to me, her long silky black hair flowing down her shoulders like streams. Although saying farewell to the little fox left emptiness in my heart, I soon became exhilarated at the thought of the transformation magic that I was about to learn. Could I transform into a flying bird once I'd mastered the magic? How high would I be able to fly? Maybe I could transform into a fish, and finally have the chance to go to Musk Reef. \"I could even use magic to hunt!\" I couldn't contain my excitement. \"No more meatless carrot stews for me...\" \"Then I shall ask you to stand still.\" She walked circles around me, her stature growing with every pass. No, not just her. The dandelions were also growing in size! They had only been at my ankles when she started, but now stretched to over my waist, growing as if turning into towering trees. It was only when I started to feel strange that I realized that the fox had become a giant.\n\nVol. 11:\n\"Dandelion, Dandelion, ride the wind to a faraway land,\" the Fox chants. An unforgettable Mondstadt fairytale about a hunter and a fox. The Fox in the Dandelion Sea, the final installment. I started to feel strange, and then I noticed — I had turned into a dandelion! Even if I wanted to protest, the dandelion had no mouth nor tongue for me to make a sound. All I could do was watch helplessly as the giant gently picked the dandelion plant from the ground and held it between her thumb and index finger. \"Dandelion, Dandelion, ride the wind to a faraway land.\" The fox chanted. And then with a puff, the dandelion seeds began to dance in the air. I was caught in a storm and whisked away to a distant sky. The swirling made my head dizzy. Those eyes that glistened like gemstones in the lake had left me, along with my consciousness and the promise she had made. \"Oh, Anemo Archon, I beg you to turn us into humans! For only then can we be safe from their hunting bows and knives.\" ... When I awoke, I found myself in the woods behind my village. The woods were full of lush trees, and at the center of the woods was a small lake. The lake was like the stained glass windows of Mondstadt Cathedral: crystal clear and shimmering in the sunlight. The sun shone through the treetops and glistened on the water's surface like fragments of gemstone. It was really something. The weather was cool that day. I was hunting in the forest when I arrived at the lake's edge. The shimmering water somehow reminded me of a girl I loved a long time ago. I couldn't remember much about her, but felt that her eyes must have looked like the lake, glittering as if harboring fragments of gemstone within. Hmm. I must have lost myself in thought that day, drifting off into sleep as I watched the sparkling lake." } ]

The History of the Decline and Fall of Remuria
Books
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me what you know about 'The History of the Decline and Fall of Remuria' from Genshin Impact" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "'The History of the Decline and Fall of Remuria' is a readable entry in the Genshin Impact universe. It is said that the great scholar Pulteney wrote this epic historical work concerning the ancient Remurian civilization in the early years of the founding of Fontaine. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nThe ocean gave birth to all, yet also devoured everything. Legend has it that in the first era, the earliest peoples were self-supporting in their virtue, needing no laws or authorities. The envoys of the heavenly city walked the earth, and with their guidance, the people enjoyed enduring peace, prosperity, and abundance from the ancient days. This Heaven-blessed reign lasted countless generations until people grew tired of their inscrutable eternity. Their offspring ceased to listen to the oracles. Instead, they desired things never promised to them by the divine, trying to break free from their fate. Enraged by their behavior, Heaven sent gigantic waves to smash the settlers' cities. A hundred days of rain came afterward, and the roaring tides drowned all sin and arrogation, and thus were the early peoples brought to an end. When the tide receded and the earth was revealed again, no cities nor civilizations now stood above the high waters. Survivors and the newborn alike lived amidst the forests and rivers, shorn of all knowledge and wisdom. Human lives were no different from those of wild animals on the earth or in the sea, driven on by the laws of nature — muddling through time with neither beginning nor end. Untold years passed. The throne of Gurabad was established and overturned in the far south, and the noble kindred of the east once reached the rim of the high waters — all while our ancestors remained bound by ignorance and superstition. Civilization and order were finally restored to the land named Fontaine the day the great king Remus descended upon Meropis in his golden Fortuna. He taught people how to farm and raise crops in the land, and built temples and cities with giant rocks to house the people. Most importantly, it was he who spread the beauty of music and art, which differentiated humans from other living things, causing them to see themselves as masters of all things. With his immortal fleet, Remus conquered all the islands on the high waters. Even the great dragon beneath the abyssal depths submitted to his power. Those were the best days since the end of earliest peoples, and eternal prosperity seemed so near at hand. The God King and his people indulged in the sweet dreams of carefree lives and fantasies of never-ending progress. However, the seers prophesied discord: \"The greatest empire will face the most utter destruction, and this is Fortuna.\" Thus did the God King derive the primordial plan from the seven-day rotation and the flowing winds of sea and land, and composed a harmonious symphony of prosperity. He believed that so long as all the cities echoed with this greatest of songs, they would escape the judgment of fate and at last reach the land of eternal bliss. But thusly do the ancient writers concur — \"Oceans will rise, empires will fall, and the only constant is change.\"\n\nVol. 2:\nGreatness and glory unto Remuria, and its immortal ruler, Remus, king of all under heaven and universal Harmost. Today, the glamor and luxury of the bygone Eternal City is beyond the imagination of even the most knowledgeable scholars. As you sailed past the Ocean Pillars along the royal fairway to the giant port playing host to Fortuna the imperial ship, you would have first seen a lofty tower. The tower of Remuria was not built to receive heavenly oracles, but to guide ships traveling between islands in the high waters. It is said that the tower stood at the border of reality and dreams. Even if sailors were to be lured into slumber by sirens, they could follow the sound of the bell to break through the mist and find their way to Remuria. Continuing along the royal fairway leading to Machimos, where the brave Remurian warriors lived. The grand temples and arenas were built with giant carved rocks to commemorate the city's glory and victory. The solid and towering walls are decorated with glaze and gold, bronze and marble statues arrayed the land, and gold, spices and specialties from the world over piled up in the markets. Traveling through Machimos, you would arrive at Capitolium, the center of Remuria, overflowing with delightful aromas and beautiful melodies. It was a paradise for artists, where only the most outstanding intellectuals and musicians were allowed. Even among them, however, only a small fraction enjoyed the privilege of serving the God King. Here, all the theaters and palaces were established in shapes most harmonious, their beams and domes adorned with the most sumptuous and intricate carvings, and centered on a golden palace of towering copper pillars. The King, resting peacefully at the heart of the palace, listened closely to every melody and every note coming from every corner of the empire. Upon hearing any discord, the God King would correct it immediately with a pluck of his strings, bringing perfection to the symphony of his empire. To keep all the people upon the high water from destroying the symphony of universal harmony, King Remus promoted four humans of great capability to high post. He shared his power and authority with them, making them his partners in governance, the Harmosts for all cities, to eliminate all discordant sounds. To spread the harmonious symphony throughout the world, he built far-reaching fairways, which conveyed the melodies as never-ending ripples from Capitolium to every corner that sat above the high waters. Yet fate's decree was not for even such as gods to defy, and to even attempt to escape destined judgment was a mortal sin. Amongst the God King's sins, the most terrible was the attempt to pass power that should have been reserved for the godly domain to humans. Thus, this power and status led to corruption and decadence, leading to violence and revolts. Such is fate's cunning that it uses the very powers that rebel against it to its own ends. When the day of destiny arrived, Remuria, the grand immortal city, faced an inevitable end. Today, the God King's melody is played only in Capitolium, and his mighty reign has ended. Thusly do the ancient writers concur — \"Oceans will rise, empires will fall, and the only constant is change.\"\n\nVol. 3:\nHumans, in their naivete, once believed that the reign of the King Remus and his Eternal City would surpass time and fate to last thousands of years, just like the giant rocks comprising the ringed ritual sites. Until that day, when the earth collapsed all at once, the tall tower was uprooted, and drowned in the titanic waves alongside the great hall of pillars. Until that day, when the royal fairways and temples were reduced to ruins, and the city, along with its residents, warriors, intellectuals, nobles, and even the golden palace, as glamorous as the shining sun, fell into a chasm of eternal darkness. That was the moment when the absurdity of their \"eternity\" finally dawned on them. Glory to our Noble Navigator, the Ruler of Rivers and Seas, and the Queen of All Waters. May she defend the law, and may her reign be long. Peace be upon all the realms of Fontaine, and all the people under the heavens. When the royal city collapsed, the great power shattered, and the people above the high water were perched on the precipice of barbarism and annihilation, it was our noble Queen who settled the conflicts between the tribes. Around the flowing springs we established cities new, and started a world guided by laws that has endured to this day. The tragedy of Remuria occurred merely a century ago, but its history has already become concealed in legends and superstitions. This does partly come down to the fatal catastrophe that destroyed it — so ruthless and swift was the disaster that all the researchers and literature capable of passing down said knowledge now sleep beneath the waters with the Eternal City. Another key reason is the purposeful distortions created by the mysterious researchers who claimed to be descendants of Remuria. My job is to extract and reproduce the true, essential shape of this magnificent ancient civilization with the universal rationality of history. In certain folklore that exists today, even the greatest of ancient scholars have been painted as soul-stealing magisters who entrapped mortal spirits within specially-made magical golems, binding them into service. To be sure, the Remurians did make such terrifying golems, which to this day may be found, ruined, out in the wild. But this may only be blamed upon the moral degeneration that came upon them in Remuria's latter days. Its people had forsaken their noble duties and embraced hedonism and debauchery, accepting the violence they inflicted on others — and thus were they also violently destroyed. Just as the ancient writers concur — \"Oceans will rise, empires will fall, and the only constant is change.\"" } ]

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nAccording to the desert dwellers, the world was once ruled by a king named Al-Ahmar, a king of warriors, horticulturists, and sages. He controlled the winds whistling through the desert, the dunes turned bright silver by moonlight, and the one thousand and one Jinn who hid within the night and the calls of owls. They say that Al-Ahmar was a son of the sky. That is why he was known as the king of the world and received the fervent faith of countless people from the three great tribes, and was even adored by the elusive Jinn. Whenever he looked up to the sky and recalled the boundless paradise high above, and the merciless reign of thousands of years past, Al-Ahmar could not help but lower his noble head and sigh helplessly. In such moments, even the songs of the nightingale and the aroma of roses could not pull him from his sorrow. The desert dwellers knew well that the ravings of nostalgia often presaged the arrival of calamity. But in that world where the wise enjoyed peace and happiness, and in the era where brave young men and women courted like lions and roses, no one foresaw the arrival of catastrophe. But how should we blame the people and spirits of the past? Even one as wise as the greatest of sages, Hermanubis, could never have known that the valiant tribe that once could equal the dragons would be reduced to corpse-eating monsters a thousand years later, and that their sullied honor and bones would be buried for eternity beneath the gilded dunes. How could he have known that the tribe of the wise, known for generations of sages, would lose our texts and become wandering bards of the desert, mourning our emperor with songs that only the Jinn understand? It is as the sages say: a mere thought can yet often bring forth calamity, if it is from the undisguised melancholy and madness of a king. Thus did the three retainers of Al-Ahmar (may seven times seven curses fall upon them!) present their strategy to the king: \"Your Majesty, ruler of the world, lord of the four corners of the earth, king over Jinn and mortals alike.\" The Goat King, the minister of all ministers, spoke flatteringly, \"I humbly beg your pardon if I overstep, but Your Majesty, I'm certain you are aware that indulging in dreams of old and sorrows of the past is no way to be for long. The endless power and wisdom of this land can build you a palace that surpasses the heavens, Your Majesty, and it shall bring your people a prosperous future.\" \"No,\" Al-Ahmar said with a frown, and the Goat King fell silent. \"Your Majesty, son of the sky, subjugator of gods, and greatest of all sages,\" The Ibis King, the scribe of all scribes, advised, \"The divine punishment of a thousand years past brought the downfall of wisdom and history. For a better future, Your Majesty, you should take control of the past. The present oases hold the wisdom of the 'present', but if we are to seize the 'past', we must act swiftly.\" \"No.\" Al-Ahmar struck the ground with his staff, and the Ibis King fell silent. \"Your Majesty, lord of dunes and oases, guide of the living and the dead, master of all elements.\" The Crocodile King, the commander of commanders, spoke frankly, \"If we are to recall the lost lives and welcome lost opportunities and dreams back into the fold, then this is our final chance. The greater the authority, the greater the emptiness. The greater the wisdom, the greater the sorrow. Forget the delusions of the Void. Only resurrection and life eternal can fill the endless pit of regret.\" Al-Ahmar fell silent. \"Fine.\" The arbitrary king heeded his retainers' lies. Thus did Al-Ahmar use a hundred years and a hundred years further to build a huge maze for his kingdom, before trapping himself deep within it in search of forbidden knowledge and an elixir with which he might abandon his mortal form. The subsequent events are knowledge that should not be revisited. They should be eternally forgotten by any rational history. According to the legends of the desert dwellers, in just one night, the kingdom of wisdom and power was buried by the sands of retribution. They say Al-Ahmar separated his mind from his flesh and bone, placing it within the corridors, stairways, doorways, and beams that crawled eternally into the depths. It is said that Al-Ahmar's body gradually decayed on his throne while worms feasted on it, and that his soul merged into one with the wailing souls of the millions in his kingdom, doomed to wander, lost amidst the howling end, traveling along the dark and winding corridors, growing ever closer to the bottomless abyss... Thus did the minds of millions merge into one, a lone soul that would eventually succumb to madness. And so, Al-Ahmar's kingdom was built and destroyed by his own hand. They say that when that night came, the desert quaked, and the walls of Al-Ahmar's royal city collapsed. One thousand and one pillars trembled before the gale, and the bulls and griffins that once stood proudly atop them, gazing down at the lifeless dunes, now reluctantly fell into its gilded embrace. Countless people, sage or fool, hero or coward — all of them vanished within the sandstorm that night. The lucky survivors fell into eternal silence. It's said that they were made blind and mute as punishment for their sin of benefitting from forbidden knowledge. The sages say that trying to keep knowledge for yourself is ignorance, and that the punishment for ignorance is ignorance itself. As for the descendants of the ignorant who have lost their history, the Eremites say: We have returned from the land of the lost, The sky of the ages we have changed, Fear shall not stop us, No god shall we heed. Across the ocean of sand akin to gravel, To its end we shall sail." } ]

Corpulent aristocrats crawled under tables at such a valiant sight. \"Mondstadt is freedom,\" the winds sang for their people in delight. Lonely forest breezes converged, jointly they overthrew the tyrant's tower from the sky. Broken free from shackles at last, the young lioness stood firm in the winds with her head held high. And so, the fiery-headed dame won herself prestigious fame. Her heart swelled with appreciation to sing by the Anemo Archon's side.

For the people of Watatsumi, the legends of the Archon War are always filled with bitterness. Many of these millennia-old folksongs tell of a shrine maiden by the name of Mouun, who once rode upon the back of a sea monster, following the Great Serpent unto a tragic, moving end. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nDetails:\nThe shrine maiden Mouun was born to the Yuna Clan. This clan was one of the great houses that first followed their Omikami out into the sunlight, and is still known today for their traditional talent in whalesongs and their closeness with all marine life. Mouun entered Sangonomiya Shrine at a young age and would learn the etiquette and ritual arts of the Watatsumi shrine maidens, history, governance, and the island folk-tunes. Her younger twin sister Ayame, who in later days would be known as \"Umigozen,\" was a female diver, making a living through collecting pearls. By the time news that the Shogunate had unified all the Inazuman islands reached Watatsumi, Mouun and Ayame were already quite famous among the island's people. In the folk-tunes that still persist till today, Mouun was a wise and gentle soul who helped to steer the people away from meaningless conflict, while Ayame was valiant and cheerful, her power sufficient to wrestle against fierce sea creatures. When Watatsumi Omikami ceased in his hesitation and embarked on that hopeless eastern expedition, Sangonomiya's first navy was entrusted by the then-Divine Priestess to Mouun and her sister. This was also the beginning of Mouun's association with the giant whale named \"Daikengyou.\" Legend has it that Daikengyou was a huge blind whale that had lived for five hundred years and four hundred years before that. The dark depths of the ocean floor were its home, and the fishes of the deep and the moonglow-beauteous jellyfish were its faithful servants. Five hundred narwhals guarded its left flank and five hundred humpback whales played music to its right. Some folk-tunes claim that it could have swallowed ten coral islands in one gulp before spitting out five skerries in its deep, satiated slumber. Even amongst those of the Watatsumi people who were skilled in whalesong, none had faced this titan and returned whole to tell the tale. But at the Divine Priestess' direction, Mouun dived deep into the whale's phosphorescent palace just as the moon rose high enough to pierce the ocean mists. None knew how Mouun persuaded Daikengyou to join her. But on the third moonrise after her departure, when the waves drew back from the shore, the people witnessed Daikengyou surface from the tranquil ocean, shimmering with silver light as it bore Mouun on its back. Later, Daikengyou and its marine courtiers would follow Mouun and her sister into battle at Omikami's side, though the battle ultimately and inexorably went ill... Mouun made to retreat when she heard that Omikami and Touzannou had been slain together, but she was ambushed by the tengu Sasayuri's subordinates en route and was herself slain together with Daikengyou the mighty whale, their remains captured by the Shogunate. As for her sister, \"Umigozen\" Ayame, she disappeared into the blood-red ocean after a valiant stand, never to be seen again." } ]

In the age of depression and tyranny, the outlander girl met the ominous orphan. Does this fateful encounter foretell a tragic ending? The historic romance novel, The Mondstadt Tower, begins! Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nIn the time of the aristocrats, there stood a high tower in Mondstadt's plaza. It was built to honor Barbatos the Anemo Archon in name, yet in reality it was nothing more than a flamboyant display of wealth and power by the royals to gloat over the commoners. The one time in the year that the commoners living in these dark times could find a little solace was during Ludi Harpastum. During one Ludi Harpastum, a wandering singer from a distant land arrived in the city. The name of the lass was Inès, and everyone at the festival was enchanted by her stunning beauty. People of all ages and all walks of life vied to catch a glimpse of her throwing the Harpastum and to hear her sing foreign ballads. \"The blessings of Barbatos are for everyone! You are only sinful if you are bitter at such a joyous occasion!\" As she sang these verses, she handed out her earnings during the festival to the poor and orphans in the city. A frail figure stood among the crowds. He was the Seneschal, and he fell for her at first sight. But his religious piety filled him with a frustration at his inability to suppress the emotions he was experiencing, and her acts of charity, which violated the Church's right to aid to the poor, irked him all the more. As is known to all, the beliefs of contemporary Mondstadters hold that the Anemo Archon Barbatos encourages people to seek love and pursue freedom, but in the dark ages the Anemo Archon slept, and the city was tormented by the tyranny of the nobles, the poverty of the commoners, and the ravage of the dragon; meanwhile, the self-proclaimed \"orthodox\" church — a mere figurehead, controlled by the ruling class — advocated abstinence from earthly pleasures to avert divine punishment. Under such circumstances, even the harp which symbolized the wind had been restricted to playing only those songs deemed \"holy.\" However, the notion of \"divine punishment\" was little more than an excuse fabricated by the nobles to conceal their avarice and restrict the commoners. \"To let her stay in the city is to bewitch all its inhabitants. What wickedness will this witch bring?\" The Seneschal pondered. And so, the Seneschal plotted to hunt down Inès, and to confine her to the Cathedral while awaiting further instructions. As per the traditions of the time, the maiden chosen to throw the Harpastum should serve at the royal court for three days after the celebration, under the protection of the aristocrats. The Seneschal decided to send his adopted son, Octave, to sneak into the royal court and abduct Inès. Octave was an unwelcome child, abandoned by his superstitious parents at birth and later raised by the Seneschal. As a child, he was persecuted and abused by the citizens, seen as a bad omen of draconic disasters. The only person who protected Octave was the Seneschal, who treated him like his own son and thus won his utmost trust. \"Bring the maiden who threw the Harpastum yesterday to me! Disturb no one and do not mention my name.\" Under orders from the Seneschal, Octave climbed onto the balcony of the court chambers at nightfall. Upon seeing the girl weeping in the moonlight, his pure heart was stirred, for he had never seen such a wondrous sight. He gazed at the girl, leaving his task forgotten. But the silence of the tranquil moment shared by Octave and the girl was interrupted by the servants..." } ]

The Night Mother was the source of all sins, and the Land of Night was the embodiment of her evilness.

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nThe prefaces of the new light novel \"The Saga of Hamavaran,\" now combined into their own separate volume due to a business model adjustment! Foreword Thanks to a fruitful new writer recruitment drive and the phenomenal success of the contest \"This Novel is Amazing!\" we have received many highly original works from up-and-coming writers all over the world. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our international writers for supporting Inazuma's light novel industry, and we'd also like to thank Kanjou Commissioner Hiiragi Shinsuke for his grace and generosity. It is thanks to all of you that we are able to bring so many outstanding works to the readers of Inazuma here today. As you all know, prior to the promulgation of the Sakoku Decree, a number of accomplished samurai from various lands were active in Inazuma. One of them, whose name is Hamavaran, hails from the distant rainforest nation of Sumeru, but came all the way to the land of the lightning's glow to be an agent of chivalry. Though tales of Hamavaran's deeds were once buried during the peak of unchanging eternity under Her Excellency the Shogun, they have now been given life anew thanks to the narrative prowess of a good friend of mine, the budding author, Pursina. Now, without further ado, please enjoy \"The Saga of Hamavaran\" at your leisure.\n\nVol. 2:\n\"How could this happen...\" An ordinary scholar from Sumeru is unexpectedly assigned an unpopular specialization and ordered to go forth to the land of thunder and lightning... The curtains slowly rise on an adventure in the nation of many shores! \"It's not the tempest at sea I'm worried about, it's the prospect of deferred graduation...\" This was the thought occupying Hamavaran's mind on his long voyage to Inazuma... \"You're worrying about not getting your thesis finished in time and having to delay your graduation, aren't you?\" The familiar-sounding voice came from outside the cabin. \"Shush... Who are you, anyway!?\" \"Who, me? Is that important?\" \"Good point. No, you're not that important...\" \"Hey...\" ... And so, as the great thunderstorm raged, shaking the seas and heavens alike, Hamavaran began arguing with the quiet voice from outside the window, while all worries about the storm and fears about not completing the thesis on time paled into insignificance. But strangely, when Hamavaran arrived on shore, the owner of the voice that had been arguing back from outside the window was nowhere to be seen. \"Maybe it was the ghost of a shipwreck victim...\" Hamavaran considered this possibility. Ghosts are just the Ley Lines' memories of the deceased, Hamavaran reasoned. It's a completely natural phenomenon that occurs due to resonance between past and present. To be sure, it's highly unusual for this to happen in the middle of the ocean, but it's by no means impossible. \"Who are you calling a ghost? You're the ghost!\" Hamavaran had finally produced a satisfactory hypothesis to explain away the symptoms of delirium and had moved onto luggage-collection when the familiar voice piped up once more.\n\nVol. 3:\n\"'Ghost-calling'? Is that the same as 'spirit-warding' back home?\" With confusing questions swirling in his mind, Hamavaran begins to speak with his newfound traveling companion. An unexpected journey begins! ... \"So, you really are a ghost?\" \"No! I'm not even dead yet!\" \"But you've never been alive either?\" \"Um... Yeah, I guess you could say that...\" The talkative young girl, who claimed to be a shikigami, gulped down glutinous-rice dango with such speed and intensity that Hamavaran began to worry she might choke. \"If I had to explain it, I'd say my situation is more like that of a 'ghost-calling.'\" \"So like I said, a ghost...\" \"Noooo, not that kind of ghost!\" One argument later, Hamavaran finally understood that what she called \"ghost-calling\" was something roughly equivalent to what in Sumeru is known as \"spirit-warding.\" Both involve signing a pact using one's real name. The notion that you can command someone when you know their real name is common to many of the world's mystic traditions, and it highlights a core fear held by humans: the fear of being under someone else's control. With thoughts thusly wandering, Hamavaran once again began to regret specializing in the much-neglected discipline of marine biology instead of mysticism... First I have to sail all the way to Inazuma, then I have to go through the living hell that is a thesis defense... But maybe running into this noisy little thing is a stroke of good luck for me..." } ]

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nLegend has it that King Al-Ahmar, while still alive, had collected numerous Jinn and demons from across the world, placing them within magic bottles. Legend has it that the world was once teeming with such Jinn. Al-Ahmar, mighty yet bewildered, seized them from the silver night winds and quicksands of the desert, the mystical swirls of the ocean, and the tinkling springs in the rainforest, and kept them in silver bottles. He was like an arrogant conqueror, and at the same time, a curious child. Al-Ahmar harnessed the spirits with bridles and yokes, learned from their laments about the story of the dismal moon and the driving morning star, and built the majestic Ay-Khanoum — the \"City of Amphitheaters,\" or \"City of the Moon Maiden\" — to commemorate them. It is said to have been the city of the spirits, the paradise for migrants from the moon, gifted to them by Al-Ahmar. In return, the spirits constructed the huge doorway to his masoleum. This is the tale as the desert singers would tell it. Countless years later, Ay-Khanoum — like Saleh, the city of the valiant Thamudians, Tulaytullah, the land of the wise Tighnarians, and Orghana, the city of the Twenty-Nine Deys — has long been buried beneath heavy sands and swirling currents, as have the countless clans that inhabited it and the innumerable Jinn imprisoned in their silver magic bottles. But now, let us leave the unnecessary fact-finding to one side and return to the subject... Fifteen years after Port Ormos was built, a young shepherd found a silver bottle in the Gravelsong Dunes (Note 1). Whether out of childish curiosity or a recklessness uncharacteristic of desert dwellers, the boy broke the seal beneath the silver bottle and opened it beneath the moonlight. (Note 2) \"The ravens of the mortal world are so exceptionally noisy...\" A Jinni arose from within the bottle (Note 3) in the form of a dancer, as flexible and languid as a cat and as bright and beautiful as a water lily. \"Ravens...?\" The youth was clueless, as he did not resemble a bird, nor was he noisy. \"Yes, ravens.\" The spirit repeated, rather impatiently. \"Birds that live fast and die fast, a noisy lot and no mistake... 'Only when they die do they wake up.' What about this is there to not understand, hmm?\" The young man shook his head in confusion, bringing a sigh to the spirit's lips. \"Listen, foolish bird.\" The spirit shook her head, her myrrh-scented braids swaying gently in the moonlight, the golden bells dangling at their ends ringing dreamily, but her amber eyes glinting like daggers. \"I will allow you to ask three questions under three conditions...\" \"First, do not defame my lord Al-Ahmar. This is my bottom line. (Note 4)\" \"Second, harbor you no arrogance. Short-lived mortals should know where they stand.\" \"Third, do not pry into the affairs of heaven and earth. Know this: there are indeed brave guardians and splendid stars in heaven.\" \"If you fail to comply, I will fly into your mouth and nose on the night wind, like the three moon goddesses on their steeds, draw out your guts and soul, and make your lifeless flesh my new home.\" The youngster hastened to cover his mouth and nose, nodding profusely to show that he understood the conditions. \"Then ask, beloved child of my lord, slave of heaven.\" Said the spirit, chuckling. The bright moonlight fell on her braids, and flowed into her nearly transparent skin, granting it a crystalline sheen. \"Who are you?\" The young man asked. \"I'm a creation of the sky, yet also a creature of this world. I'm an exile of the ages, a faithful servant to my great lord. I'm an elemental spirit who will not bow to flesh and blood, an eternal prisoner content with the illusion of comfort...\" The spirit held her head up high with pride, letting moonlight flow through her translucent body, her golden bells ringing in the desert wind. \"As a descendant of Liloufar, I can be big or small. I can rise or hide. My kindred may be found in the waves, in the night wind, or in the pale light of the dead moon. In short, I'm a spirit, and I'm proud of who I am.\" \"Then why are you in this bottle?\" The young man shook the silver bottle in his hand and asked uncomprehendingly. \"My lord Al-Ahmar aspired to conquer the world. All mountains and seas would be his to command. To this end, he made us magic bottles of silver and stamped his mark on us, and so we became his servants, engaging in noble deeds of creation and exploration. In other words... we were not servants in shame, but servants with pride.\" \"But afterwards...\" The spirit said quietly, her amber eyes darkening. \"My lord brought disaster upon himself, leaving us sentenced to generations of oblivion. We were trapped in sealed silver bottles, drowning in dreams until the moment of our death.\" \"Well, your third question, then!\" The spirit waved her hand briskly, causing a clear jingle of the ancient silver coins adorning her wrists. \"Have a care for your query, or your mouth and nose will suffer!\" \"So...\" The young man hesitated for a moment, and asked the last question. \"What's it like to live in a bottle?\" Seemingly having never heard of such a question before, the spirit was slightly surprised before she answered slowly. \"In the first era, I lived in a carefree palace, singing with nightingales and talking with roses. It was a beautiful time, a time when poets and lovers were born because of me. In those days, it seemed that the entire City of the Moon Maiden was in the bottle, and even the tasteless spring water was intoxicating.\" \"At that time, I told myself that if anyone ever broke the seal and let me out into the outside world, I would curse and kill them.\" \"In the era that came after, sandstorms and demons ran riot. Nightingales sang till their voice grew raspy and their blood dried up. Roses withered and turned into tangles of thorns. Poets died of maltreatment, lovers were displaced, prosperity vanished... It was a dreadful time when everything came to a standstill in the eternal collapse. Yet likewise, the City of the Moon Maiden seemed to be right in the bottle.\" \"So I told myself that if anyone ever broke the seal and let me out into the outside world, I would fight against its injustice.\" \"Then in the third era, everything was reduced to dust. The grand play of the City of the Moon Maiden came to an end, and what remained were the ruined theater and the wrecked masks of the gods. In that era, I ran out of tears to shed, and the chiming golden bells and the fluttering veil became to me a haunting curse.\" \"And so, I told myself amidst that desolation that if anyone ever broke the seal and let me out into the outside world, I would turn into an evil seeking revenge — I would destroy the world, or else destroy myself.\" \"So...\" A gust of cold wind in the desert sent a shiver over the young man, causing him to tighten his loose robe. \"Yes, I could have made you the first target of my revenge... tore your bones and flesh to make a cruel song of your soul.\" The spirit smiled teasingly, like a nightingale announcing a death on a summer night. \"Yet the dead moon cast a glow over the quicksand dunes, and over me... and I suddenly realized how lovely the world is.\" \"And so this poor Jinni, like a chick struggling to break through its egg, has hopelessly fallen in love with this barren and ravaged world and its circle of life and death. The proud Jinni, once nourished by the delicacies of roses, has fallen for the land infested with toads and vipers...\" \"It all makes me wonder what it will be like... when the 'raven' becomes the 'groom.'\" \"So...?\" The youngster cowered again. \"So, tell me a story, little raven. Let me see the world.\" The spirit grinned slyly at the sight of the youth's puzzled look, her golden bells tinkling at the end of her braids. And so, the spirit of the moon maiden's city once again embarked on her journey around the world. Footnotes: 1. This is the desert area that the Eremites often refer to as \"Dar al-Azif.\" This does not refer to a fixed place, since the dunes themselves flow like the wind. 2. Faramaraz, a Purbiruni academic, has insisted on an absurd opinion that this occurred \"out of the ignorance inherent to the desert dwellers,\" which is not even worth refuting. May a hundred birds gather on this unreasonable man's bed, and may the mountains hurl stones at him. 3. Faramaraz, a Purbiruni academic, has argued that the word \"rise\" was inappropriate here and that a better word should be used to present the image of \"pouring out like a radiant cloud of smoke.\" It must be admitted that his opinion has literary merit, but it will not be adopted academically. May his bowels become as gnarled as stones, and may his barber be the executioner of his hair! 4. Faramaraz, a Purbiruni academic, has pointed out that \"Al-Ahmar\" was not the name that the monarch used during his lifetime, and that it is improper to quote it here. May wisdom forsake him, may his hair grow thin, and may his beard turn white before its time!" } ]

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\n\"The next story I'll tell comes from the age of Shiruyeh, the Lord of Pestilence, though at this time, that vassal ruler had not yet gained notoriety for Shiruyeh's Plague, nor had his subjects been scattered amidst a world of darkness, left to become wild creatures who had lost their language and faces...\" The fairy of the moon maiden's city paused for a moment, then stretched out lazily. The moonlit silver coins jangled on her wrists and ankles as if displeased with the jouncing of the Sumpter Beast. \"Anyway, little raven, do you know the meaning of the name \"Shiruyeh\"?\" \"Uh... 'One who is ridiculous and despicable'?\" The youth whom she had rather one-sidedly named \"Raven\" answered casually. Suffering the heat of the sun and the threat of quicksand, he had little interest in his travel companion's stories. \"In our tribe, 'Shiruyeh' is a disgraceful name branded only onto the foreheads of exiled chiefs and spoken only in curses and mockery. It's a tradition of ours... But I'm sure that the traditions of other tribes are not so different.\" \"Haha! Mortal awareness is just like quicksand, shifting with the winds of time. How bizarre!\" \"Raven\" replied perfunctorily, drawing an unexpectedly enthusiastic taunt from the fairy, \"Now, actually... in the lost language, 'Shiruyeh' means 'unweaned lion cub'. His father Parvezravan gave this name to his newborn son, oblivious that he, the vassal king who referred to himself as the 'Spirit of Unceasing Victory,' would be torn apart by his own beloved 'lion cub'...\" The fairy paused, seemingly afraid that her audience was getting bored, and exchanged glances with the youth before continuing her tale: \"As for this Parvezravan, legend has it that in the days when mortals ruled as vassal kings, he was one of the mightiest among them...\" \"Parvezravan was not, in fact, the original name of this vassal king. As the spirits tell it, he was an orphan who was raised in the nest of the giant bird Ghoghnus and given the name 'Kisra,' or 'one who has been bestowed a good name.' Later, his aspiration to greatness and the aid of this divine bird saw him adopted by the vassal king Ormazd Shah, and he would eventually rise to become a sage and hero among mortals. In the songs of the now-vanished desert people, Kisra plundered the four corners of the land in the name of his king, Ormazd Shah. By his hand, the bronze and mortar towers of ninety-nine cities were destroyed or abandoned. By his hand, the leaders of ninety-nine nomadic tribes were defeated. And by his hand, ninety-nine sages with knowledge of the order of the stars were bound in golden chains, then led back to the towering royal city of Gurabad to be imprisoned. At that time, the promised land of \"Valivija\" was engulfed by wild, gilded sands, and one of the three living gods had fallen. Amidst a century of chaos and confusion, the scattered mortals ensconced themselves in vassal states until my lord Al-Ahmar and the Sage-King of the Greenwood gathered their subjects. Once the oasis paradise was reconstructed, the age of the vassal kings, the age of division, finally came to a close. Returning to our preceding tale, Ormazd's crown grew all the more valuable on the back of Kisra's exploits, until finally his own neck could no longer bear its weight, forcing him to leave it ever suspended from chains of pure gold in the center of the main hall. The vassal king Ormazd Shah rewarded young Kisra's unrivaled achievements amply: He bestowed the name \"Parvez\" upon his adopted son and offered his daughter Shirin's hand to him in marriage. In the ethereal songs of the spirits, as the heir of both the mortal vassal king and the foremother Liloufar, she possessed superior wisdom and was blessed with an infinite lifespan and, like the original sages, could foresee the fortunes and misfortunes of the present moment. If Kisra Parvez had stopped there, his reputation as a hero would have continued unblemished. But one cursed day, Ormazd and all 300 of his offspring suddenly died in one night in the city of Gurabad. Following such an unthinkable event, the throne naturally fell to Kisra, who added \"Ravan\" to his title and became the most powerful vassal king among mortals. \"...\" The fairy abruptly stopped her tale and looked up at the red sun that was now sinking behind the sand dunes. She then whistled sharply, signaling to the youth to halt the Sumpter Beast and prepare to make camp for the night under the crumbling stone pillars. \"Some people say...\" The fairy lithely leaped down from the Sumpter Beast and circled across the sands in a manner not unlike the long-lost dancers of Setaria, letting the moon's first light evenly coat her translucent skin in its silvery sheen. The scent of myrrh swirled around her myriad braids as the golden bells rang out into the distance. Then, the fairy leaned over slightly, balancing on the tips of her toes as she laughed softly. Some people say that the tragedy that befell the city of Gurabad was the handiwork of the hero Kisra. Some people say that the night the tragedy took place, an evil, clawless bird flew out from the redoubt and wailed throughout the night without stopping to eat or drink. The castle was then struck by a plague of rats with human faces, which gnawed at the gold chains from which the crown hung, causing the cumbersome thing to crash heavily to the ground, broken and bent. People say that the crown made such an earth-shaking noise when it fell that even the Fellahin servants, who had settled and toiled far from the redoubt, trembled with fear at this tyrant they had never met. Later still, it is said that an adventurer found the ancient crypts of the city of Gurabad beneath the gilded sands, in which were hidden the withered, massive remains of Ormazd and his offspring, An ancient, inscrutable inscription was left on each of the shriveled bodies... \"I hope this story frightened you.\" The fairy watched keenly as the mortal boy before her drank from the waterskin. The tribes of the desert regard water with an instinctive restraint and prudence. Spirits, however, are born of pure elemental energy and know neither thirst nor the satisfaction of the pleasure of luxury, just like the ancient princess Shirin in this lament. \"As for the daughter of the foremother Liloufar I mentioned, Shirin — why, our story has only just begun...\" The fairy smiled slyly again, her eyes like an amalgam of amber and gold, her smiling face like the princess of her ancient homeland.\n\nVol. 2:\nAt that time, the promised land of \"Valivija\" was engulfed by wild, gilded sands, and one of the three living gods had fallen. Amidst a century of chaos and confusion, the scattered mortals ensconced themselves in vassal states until my lord Al-Ahmar and the Sage-King of the Greenwood gathered their subjects. Once the oasis paradise was reconstructed, the age of the vassal kings, the age of division, finally came to a close. \"Yes, you've mentioned this part of the story already.\" The youth's tone was rather impatient as he gazed at the full moon hanging in the starry sky, using the positions of its companion stars to determine the next day's route. But the spirit knew that he was, in truth, listening earnestly to her story. She couldn't refrain from letting out a triumphant snort, but was immediately annoyed by this unbecoming action: \"The mortal mind is as fickle as it is forgetful. How should I know whether you were listening or not?\" Back to the subject at hand — Shirin, according to the spirits' lamentations, was the daughter of the mortal hero Ormazd and the fairy Liloufar, the Daughter of the Water Lily. Born upon a lily pad amid fragrant dewdrops, the white ibis blessed her, and the cobra bequeathed to her a cerulean pearl, and even the mighty giant crocodile bowed to her in worship. As the foremother of the spirits, before she delivered her daughter to the mortal vassal king, Liloufar prophesied three times: First, that Shirin would fall in love with a great hero, and the progeny of their union would surpass their father. Second, that many of Shirin's relatives would enjoy a sweet end, and third, that Shirin alone would be given possession of her father's kingdom. Then, Liloufar gave three admonitions to her mortal darling: First, that her joy would bring tears to her father's eyes. Second, that they should no longer feast at the same table as their daughter after she was wed, and third, that their daughter's heir would be an ill omen upon the king's land. The king, however, only smiled at these prophecies and admonitions. \"Later, Shirin's father offered her hand in marriage to the great hero 'Parvezravan,' fulfilling the first prophecy, right?\" The youth said, interrupting the spirit's story. \"That's correct, though, not entirely so...\" The spirit laid a finger on the tip of the youth's nose and the latter hurriedly moved away, his face flushed as if he feared she might put some ethereal, deathly curse on him. The spirit once again found herself amused by such an innocent act. By the time Shirin grew a little older and more cognizant, the vision her mother laid out for her became a lingering curse. He spent her days awaiting her chance to fall in love with a hero, waiting for the day when she would inherit her father's kingdom, and longing for that sweet and perfect future — but it never came. Truth be told, Shirin's marriage to the hero Kisra was not a happy one — after all, mortal heroes are all warped people harboring the ambition to rule. The daughter of Liloufar carried the pride of the spirits, and thus she found the golden trap of the mortal hero's supposed affections hard to endure, and she found no peace between the bed and the hearth. And so at last, a vivid hatred coalesced from this passionless, dull, rotten life — the same hatred that those imprisoned in the silver bottle carry. Later, on the night of the infamous grand banquet, a few lowly slaves — mages of the Mazandaran Oasis, or perhaps some illiterate Fellahin servants — dripped scorpion venom into musk honey and offered it to the vassal king Ormazd and his 300 heirs. They then watched as they sunk into the sweet, dreamless landscape of death, drowning in the fat and blood of the wretched as their blood and tears flowed freely... And on this night, all who remained with dreams left to enjoy were Shirin, who had been excluded from the party by her own father, and her reluctant co-conspirator and husband, Kisra. The lowly regicides were thereupon submerged in the honey pot as punishment by the new king, and they cursed him with their last breaths as they choked on the sticky honey. And from the new king's mouth gushed blackened, dirtied, and bloodied lies, which gradually stained his hero's reputation a deep black... And so, the second prophecy was fulfilled. Later, Shiruyeh, the son of Kisra Parvezravan, grew to adulthood beloved by his mother, but was banished by his father from the towering city of Gurabad. Made by his father to hide his face and flee on a fast steed, Shiruyeh was henceforth forbidden from setting foot in the city again. Undoubtedly terrified of the fairy-mother Liloufar's warning, it was Parvezravan's fixation that gave rise to the cowardice that spurred this decision. And so, Shirin once again found the perfect opportunity for revenge in the vassal king's unfettered fear. One night, she disguised herself as a divine princess of the temple to the moon goddess and met with her prodigal son who had sojourned there. In the lingering silvery light that danced amidst the dew-dotted lilies, she gave the masked wayfarer this false, illusory prophecy: \"Is the tyranny of the wanderer's father not his greatest misfortune? O darling of the moon goddess, everywhere the moonlight touches is yours to rule, and every seed you sow shall grow and flourish. Since the moonlight has granted you a good bow and a sharp blade, why do you suffer that coward idling upon the throne? Why not muster up the courage to face your hatred, to face yourself?\" Legend has it that just as Shiruyeh hesitated in indecision, a gust of wind rushed through the night and blew the veil Shirin had used to conceal her face away. Seeing that familiar face, the young man who had been forced to cover his was instantly overcome with terror and shame. He fled the sullied temple in a panic, and laughter soft as the ringing of a bell and the cruel moonlight bore witness to his fear. The story from here is a lackluster one: The peerless vassal king \"Parvezravan\" would be stabbed to death in his bed by his own masked, unfilial son, and his magnificent bed — once adorned with sapphire and golden animal horns — would be indelibly stained with his blood. The dirge of the spirits then goes like this: After committing this crime of treason, Shiruyeh wept bitterly before his mother Shirin in repentance. But Shirin did not reprimand him. Rather she took her beloved son into her arms, removed the brass mask symbolizing his exile, and left him with an affectionate kiss of benediction. After Shiruyeh claimed the throne, he was long tormented by inescapable nightmares until finally, on a frenzied night of wandering, he fell into a deep black chasm in the earth and disappeared. Later, a great plague emerged from that chasm and swallowed up half of the souls in the city of Gurabad. The kingdom, having lost its vassal king and his servants, fell into ruin and was gradually devoured by that insatiable yellow sand. The scattered survivors of this calamity called it \"Shiruyeh's Plague\" — the divine retribution invited by the absurdly short-lived despot himself. As for his mother Shirin, Liloufar's third prophecy was indeed fulfilled — She and the heir she bore won true freedom in a kingdom ravaged by vengeance, and they became evil apparitions, death knells to the conceited. \"Some people say that Shirin was later subdued by my lord Al-Ahmar, who detained her in a magic silver bottle. Others say that she still roams the desert, tormenting overconfident adventurers and tirelessly searching for the beloved child that she lost to that dark world...\" The fairy smiled proudly, having theatrically concluded the story. At this time, the moon was already high in the sky, and the distant, ancient time when the desert had not yet become a desert was nigh. It was time for the divine princess to hold the sacrifice." } ]

Prologue: The Tanuki's Oral History of Inazuma They say that in the past, before the fragile and short-lived mortals had crossed over the sea to these lands, Inazuma was once a land that belonged to the tanuki. Lazy and fickle by nature, the tanuki never worried about tomorrow, nor did they carry today's troubles with them through the night. During that period, the land of Inazuma was a cozy paradise for the tanuki and every day was a fun-filled festival. At least, that's what the tanuki elders say. Later on, the kitsune arrived by sea, forcing the tanuki into a great war that lasted first for 800 years and then for another 800 years, with both sides suffering heavy casualties, until eventually the only option was to hold peace talks. The tanuki are a stubborn bunch and to this day still don't admit defeat, but the fact remains that they ceded the giant Thunder Sakura to the kitsune. But the kitsune are a crafty and cunning bunch too, and equally skilled in the art of shape-shifting. It is said that in that great war, as a consequence of the constant switcheroo trickery, many poor souls became completely disoriented and could not for the life of them keep track of who was who — eventually forgetting even who they were, what they were, and which side they were supposed to be on. Thus were the hapless mortals born. The product of bewildered youkai. This tale and many others were told to me by the tengu who likes to boast.\n\nVol. 2:\nCollect all 10 pages to form Toki Alley Tales (I). This page billows about in the breeze, seemingly having dropped from a very old novel. Perhaps you might be able to reconstruct the complete text, should you find other torn pages elsewhere. Yoichi's Tale The tengu's name is Yoichi, and she lives in Hanamizaka on a small side street called Toki Alley. She rents a shop there that sells alcohol and lives a leisurely existence. I say \"leisurely.\" That's putting it nicely. \"Completely and utterly chaotic\" would be a more accurate description. In theory, someone who enjoys alcohol enough to start a business selling it should know a thing or two about it. This applies as much to youkai as to humans. But to be absolutely blunt, Yoichi has terrible taste in alcohol and has no business sense at all. Worst of all, in all her days in the human realm, she has never ridden herself of her awful tengu habits. Sometimes she will get drunk and stir up trouble among other youkai or kidnap human children and parade around all night at the festival, causing total chaos. Other times, she will barge into a theater, with no regard for the atmosphere, then casually strut on stage and start beating up the lead actor... the list goes on. If it weren't for her senior status among the youkai and her extensive connections in human society, I suspect Yoichi might have been dealt with by some hero or other at the foot of a mountain long ago. But the youkai and human folk of Toki Alley see her quite differently. Even the Great Gongen has never given her serious punishment, because she has never caused any major trouble. Though haughty and slovenly by nature, as a \"great youkai, set apart from the common folk\" (her own words), Yoichi isn't greatly attached to worldly possessions. Any money she comes into is spent swiftly on alcohol — or else on novels from Yae Publishing House, which she skims through halfway before promptly defenestrating them. As a result, her home is not what you would call \"domesticated\" — quite the opposite, in fact. Simply put, she doesn't have any worldly possessions of sentimental value... the sole exception being the golden paper fan she wears on her waist. The Great Tengu are a race of monsters that travels to many different worlds, and it's not at all uncommon for them to adorn themselves with battle trophies that have an interesting backstory. Such is the case for this paper fan. On a moonlit night, a drunken Yoichi, her shirt collar wide open, began bragging to me about its story... She said that in one of the many worlds she had traversed, she took the form of a haughty young male archer, serving under an equally haughty shogun. Under that shogun's command, she, — or rather, \"he\" — had proudly shot down countless opponents, including big-bellied mortal samurai and crafty tanuki ninjas. Even the jikininki, despite their bulky figures, were no match against a single shot from Yoichi's bow. \"Hahahahaha! You are truly a great soldier! Your vision is keen like lightning, just like the Great Tengu!\" At that age, the conceited shogun tended to laugh in a loud and obnoxious manner, which was most unseemly. After that, Yoichi made numerous contributions for the shogun, executing many monsters and unfortunate mortals. It goes without saying that she probably made some of the stories up. But what she truly became renowned for was the final battle of that world, a world in which she spent a hundred years. In that naval battle, the shogun and rebels braved storms to fight bloody battles between the straits. The monsters numbered at least eight million, maybe eight million more than that, while the mortal samurai must have numbered in the tens of millions. In terms of casualties, the headcount cannot be known, but what is known is that 800 thousand ships sank in the course of the battle. Yoichi reached this staggering tally with my assistance as she was vomiting up a bellyfull of wine by the window. As is typical of so many stories about bitterly fought wars stuck in stalemate, brave heroes from both sides mowed down their enemies like blades of grass, painting the sea blood-red, while the rival generals stubbornly refused to back down, preferring to stay locked in intransigence than to withdraw their troops and head home to get a good night's sleep. Finally, on one cold moonlit night, a small boat slowly floated out from enemy lines. A lone figure stood on the boat, swaying like a reflection in the water. Beside the figure was a shimmering flagpole with a paper fan at the top. It gave off a golden glow in the moonlight. \"Argh, ARGH... I am furious, furious! This blatant provocation cannot be tolerated!\" The shogun squinted his eyes, saw the golden fan in the distance, and instantly flew into a rage. Yoichi couldn't understand why the shogun's self-esteem was so fragile, but was too lazy to empathize with the petty mortal sense of dignity. At that moment, she... no, \"he,\" fixed his keen tengu gaze on the floating figure in the boat. What he saw was a woman, and an altogether different one than Yoichi. Moments later, a single arrow flew over the moon and tore apart the night sky. \"Haha, great!\" Soon, the shogun's shouting was drowned out by the cheers of the army. \"If those two old-timers find out what they have lost, they'd probably be so angry they'd rupture their spleens!\" Yoichi let out a conceited and mischievous laugh. She was drunk. The Great Tengu had a certain twinkle in her eye, of the rather repulsive variety, that she made no attempt to cover up. What had happened was that as the arrow flew through the air, Yoichi had already spread out her giant wings and flown across the strait, snatching the golden paper fan and the bewildered beauty holding onto it as she passed over the boat. She then took the opportunity to push over the insufferably loud-mouthed shogun and flew away from the battle. A perfect tengu snatch and grab. It was just a shame that... \"Well, you know what happened, she was a neko. She scratched me to pieces...\" Yoichi stuck out her tongue and sighed with exasperation. \"Oh right, it's snapper season! You should take some back with you.\" \"Hmm? The stingy Great Tengu has a heart?\" \"I meant for that woman!\" Seeing the threatening gaze from the greatly tipsy Great Tengu, I hastily gathered the remaining snapper in my arms and left.\n\nVol. 3:\nCollect all 10 pages to form Toki Alley Tales (II). This page billows about in the breeze, seemingly having dropped from a very old novel. Perhaps you might be able to reconstruct the complete text, should you find other torn pages elsewhere. Osen's Tale I left Yoichi's house and followed the winding alley for a while, then turned into a narrow street to arrive at that old lady's home. When the night is pitch black and the moon has climbed to its peak, the neko awaken from their slumber. It is said that neko who have lived up for hundreds or even thousand of years can easily take on the form of a young woman, tempting people into doing funny and foolish things or chasing innocent travelers out of some sense of spiteful vengeance. But that's just the stuff of mortal imagination. In fact, the bake-neko only take on the form of young women when they're especially angry. Most of the time, they prefer to take on the form of an older woman, partly because it matches their crafty and cantankerous nature, but also because they can use old age as a disguise, portraying themselves as gentle souls to poor, unsuspecting passers-by. \"Hey, that's not free!\" At the sound of the voice, I raised my head to see a young woman sitting on the eaves, as if she'd been waiting there for a while. Her face was obscured in the shadows, and all I could make out was something resembling a smile on her face and the golden-green light reflected by her eyes. Moonlight flowed from her semi-exposed shoulders down her dress, trickling through the gaps in the hem of her skirt and outlining her long, slender legs with a porcelain-white luster. She was absent-mindedly playing with a kendama in her hand. Yep, the old lady was definitely furious... \"Tut-tut, you're late again tonight.\" \"Of course, s—sorry.\" Mosquitoes kept bumping into the paper lamp, causing it to flicker lethargically in response. As the moon shone down, a humid wind arose. Before long, it had brought the cicadas' cries to a stop. With her hair flowing down, the lady turned the spinning wheel with a perverse smile on her face. It was quite terrifying. Now, despite my being a tanuki on friendly-enough terms with the tengu to sit and drink with them, even I have to be on my very best behavior around the bake-neko. So, I promptly prostrated myself and apologized profusely for my transgression. \"Never mind, never mind. Since the snapper is still fresh, you can get up.\" With great difficulty on account of my rotund tanuki form, I resumed a normal seated position. The young woman slowly transformed back into an old woman, who had a kindly but strange smile on her face. \"Thank you, Auntie Sen.\" Call me Osen! I was relieved. But something still felt off. \"Hahahaha, anyway, how's that fool doing these days?\" With a slurp, Osen swallowed one of the fish whole, including the tail. As for the story of how her fate became intertwined with that of the Great Tengu, the facts can only be described as farcical. We have already heard the ridiculous tale from Yoichi's perspective, but the bake-neko tells a completely different story. Osen wasn't born in our world, but in one where mortals were much more savage. One night, in a bamboo forest, the young Osen was captured by a wandering monk. After passing through many hands, she was eventually sold to the shogun and became some sort of \"Obake-Neko.\" She has few memories of those days beyond wondering why the high-ranking officials of the mortal world enjoyed annoying her and playing with her. Every day, she was driven to scratch her enemies to pieces, or forced to play boring games which only they seemed to enjoy. This went on for such a long time that any normal person would have been driven to madness. But youkai live such long lives that they have far more patience than mortals. Later, when her shogun and the rebels' shogun started fighting, Osen transformed into a ninja. \"This is where the story gets even more boring...\" Osen squinted her eyes as she said this, letting out a huge yawn that stretched from ear to ear. On the night of that naval battle, the shogun thought of an ingenious scheme... The shogun ordered Osen to transform into a beautiful young woman and stand on a small boat with a golden fan to humiliate the rebels so that they dare not approach. Even if they did, the bake-neko would teach them a brutal lesson. But of course, Yoichi was standing amidst the ranks of the rebels... \"But of course, that fool suddenly stood up and starting ranting and raving about shooting down the fan with a single arrow.\" Then, the Great Tengu... \"...Slipped and fell, landing in the ocean with a great big splash.\" The old woman's feline face failed to stifle a smile, and erupted into jeering laughter. \"She was so drunk that night that she thought the seas were the stormiest she'd ever seen. In fact, the moon shone calmly and coolly, and there was not a trace of wind.\" \"But, it'd been a few hundred years since I'd seen someone so entertaining. So, to save her the humiliation, I stifled my laughter and took the paper fan down myself... Then, a roar of cheers came from their fleet. Just thinking about it amuses me to this day...\" Next, the Great Tengu unfurled her gigantic wings and leaped into the air, like a cloud covering the moon, and swooped down towards the beautiful woman... \"A flurry of arrows later, and she fell into the sea looking like a hedgehog. I couldn't keep a straight face any longer and started laughing uncontrollably.\" Laughing raucously, Osen dragged the ill-fated tengu from the sea, put her in a headlock, and flew over the fleets from both sides, laughing manically and causing both generals to lose their tempers. People say she flew over eight ships in an row, then disappeared into the night. The feline youkai's laughter could be heard for more than three days after the battle had finished. \"I couldn't stop laughing, so I scratched her as hard as I could... But the sorry state she was in made me laugh even harder, and the harder I scratched, the harder I laughed, hahahahaha...\" The neko transformed into an old lady and laughed uncontrollably. \"Afterwards, she brought me to this world and treated me like I was some kind of trophy!\" The old woman pursed her lips as her face transformed into that of a sulky young woman. But this looked quite comical, because her cheeks were still flushed bright red from having laughed so hard she could barely breathe. \"I am NOT a trophy!\" \"Hmm, now I think about it, that's probably the whole reason why she doesn't dare to visit me herself.\" The elderly female with feline features and the face of a young woman sighed gently, then smiled a cunning smile once more. \"You should go. Leave the door open, and come back on the next full moon.\" \"Also, don't forget to take this raincoat over to our old friend.\"\n\nVol. 4:\nCollect all 10 pages to form Toki Alley Tales (III).

The Tale of Granny Ame After leaving Osen's house, I turned left, then right along a winding alley to a damp courtyard, and arrived at Granny Ame's home. In the elegant courtyard, even the cicadas' chirps were silenced. There was only the quiet trickle of water droplets in the suikinkutsu, accompanied by the rhythmic thumps of the shishi-odoshi. Long ago, in the mountains and forests where youkai could lead carefree lives, the lady who could turn mist into rain was a good friend of the tanuki and kitsune. Naturally, us youkai are vastly different from mortals. We don't have complicated troubles that plague us, nor do we have things like status or class. But in the mountains shrouded in mist and rain, the soft-spoken Ameonna always managed to gain more respect and adoration. It was later, when everyone had submitted to the Great Gongen. Good times came for mortals, and youkai either lived in seclusion at various places, or were subjected to destruction and suppression... It was then that Granny Ame moved to Toki Alley. As a token of sympathy, the Kitsune of Grand Narukami Shrine, Lady Guuji, gave her this mansion. What kind of loss and sorrow led to Lady Guuji taking special care of Granny Ame? I'm really curious. Stopping briefly in the courtyard, I watched the crescent moon swaying in the pond, as her voice rang gently in the cool night breeze. \"My apologies to have kept you waiting for so long.\" When I turned around, I saw Ameonna standing by the door. She was bathed in pale moonlight, her long white dress shone with a dewy sheen, but her young and slender figure exuded a melancholic aura of a bygone era. So, I looked down and hastily handed over the raincoat that Osen passed to me, not daring to look directly into her pale gray eyes. It is rumored among mortals that the eyes of the sorrowful Ameonna will take on the marble gray-white hue of a drowning person. Those who dare to look directly into these woeful eyes will be lost forever in the incomprehensible fog of rain. Of course, that's just a silly legend among mortals, but the basic etiquette like \"Don't look into the eyes of the sorrowful Ameonna\" is indeed an unwritten rule among youkai. \"Thank you.\" Granny Ame's voice was as soft and gentle as ever, like morning dew in the mist. She didn't invite me in, nor did she share her story. All I was handed was a wooden box, but that's all I needed to know. So, while the moon was bright, I quietly left the courtyard.\n\nVol. 5:\nCollect all 10 pages to form Toki Alley Tales (IV). This page billows about in the breeze, seemingly having dropped from a very old novel. Perhaps you might be able to reconstruct the complete text, should you find other torn pages elsewhere. The Tale of Gonbei Gonbei is 76 years old and is the only mortal living in Toki Alley. He was a farmer, a samurai, and a craftsman. The box in my hand is his handiwork, its smooth black lacquer surface inlaid with an iridescent mother-of-pearl. This was a craft he learned from the fishermen of Watatsumi Island. \"Thank you for your hard work.\" The old man in front of me bowed his head deeply. Although I privately thought that this was the way mortals were supposed to behave towards youkai, I still felt a twinge of pity for his melancholy. According to Gonbei, contrary to popular legend, he was once close friends with the Ameonna who roamed the mountains and forests. It's just that, Gonbei, who was a teenager at the time, was trying to bring rain to the drought-stricken fields of his hometown. He thus heeded the village elder's words and went to the mountains to seek help from the Ameonna. At that time, Granny Ame was no longer young and was keenly aware of the many changes in the world. But the beings of the mountains and forests are always more simple and naive, compared to mortals. Hmm, what happened later? The young Gonbei made the unspeakable mistake of deceiving the beings of the mountains and seas. Although to this day, he still insists that his deceit was to save his hometown. And his village did have a rare harvest year because of the heavy rainfall. After that, Gonbei, who was deeply ashamed, avoided the mountains far away and came to live in the city for a long time. \"I'm so sorry.\" The elderly mortal bowed his head, but did not take the wooden box. I left his house, before the moonlight was shrouded by dark clouds.\n\nVol. 6:\nCollect all 10 pages to form Toki Alley Tales (V). This page billows about in the breeze, seemingly having dropped from a very old novel. Perhaps you might be able to reconstruct the complete text, should you find other torn pages elsewhere. Break Time They say that in the past, before the fragile and short-lived mortals had crossed over the sea to these lands, Inazuma was once a land that belonged to the tanuki. Lazy and fickle by nature, the tanuki never worried about tomorrow, nor did they carry today's troubles with them through the night. During that period, the land of Inazuma was a cozy paradise for the tanuki and every day was a fun-filled festival. At least, that's what the tanuki elders say. Later on, the kitsune arrived by sea, forcing the tanuki into a great war that lasted first for 800 years and then for another 800 years, with both sides suffering heavy casualties, until eventually the only option was to hold peace talks. The tanuki are a stubborn bunch and to this day still don't admit defeat, but the fact remains that they ceded the giant Thunder Sakura to the kitsune. But the kitsune are a crafty and cunning bunch too, and equally skilled in the art of shape-shifting. It is said that in that great war, as a consequence of the constant switcheroo trickery, many poor souls became completely disoriented and could not for the life of them keep track of who was who — eventually forgetting even who they were, what they were, and which side they were supposed to be on. Thus were the hapless mortals born. The product of bewildered youkai. I wandered through the winding streets and alleys, while recapping the long-held stories of the tanuki clan. In the end, I didn't find a restaurant that was still open. I guess this means it's time to go back. With this in mind, I stood up and stretched my back in front of Uncle Kitsune's soba stand. Just then, a familiar scent came from behind—" } ]

Treasured Tales of the Chouken Shinkageuchi

[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me what you know about 'Treasured Tales of the Chouken Shinkageuchi' from Genshin Impact" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "'Treasured Tales of the Chouken Shinkageuchi' is a readable entry in the Genshin Impact universe. The first part of a traditional Inazuman novel. This particular volume is also known as \"Shinkageuchi,\" and was once a restricted text. It contains a fantastical tale about the first Raiden Shogun and her kagemusha, depicting the benevolent sagacity of the first Shogun and the great valor of her kagemusha. However, due to the great popularity of another book known colloquially as \"Raiden Reincarnation,\" many people became interested in stories of this kind. This book thus wound up being published in a haphazard manner. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nIt is often said that the \"drawn bow is like the quartered moon, and studying the blade is like a circle of transparent jade.\" It is said that when Narukami came to her people, she brought with her the knowledge of crafting swords. After thousands of years and hundreds of bountiful harvests, mortal swordsmiths were at last able to make swords that would please even Narukami herself. Thus did the Grand Shrine and the Shogunate enact this divine ceremony: they collected the greatest swords in the world and offered them up to the shrine, thus naming these blades \"Goshintou.\" This ceremony was a very lively one indeed, and the practice persists to the present period. However, there are many behind-the-curtain matters concerning the \"Goushintou\" that few know of. No famous craftsman merely forges one blade in one sitting. The greatest of their works are known as \"Shinuchi,\" and are given a lovely name before being offered to the craftsman's lord or deity. These are not built for taking lives and are to remain pure. The others are known as \"Kageuchi\" and will be given to retainers for them use as weapons. These will often be used to shed blood and will thus be stained with impurity and filth. From the day Narukami Gongen, the First Shogun, began her dominion over the land of Inazuma, she was accompanied by her younger twin sister. \"Shin\" and \"Kage,\" light and dark they were, mediating and holding court, ordering and giving battle. The younger of the two was named \"Ei,\" and if her name were to be written plainly, it would likely be the word for \"shadow,\" which she was in relation to the first Shogun, to whom she would become the successor. As most know, only The Seven emerged from the wrack and ruin of the war that rolled across the mortal world like a crimson storm. Though the Shadow Shogun was divinely skilled in martial arts and unsurpassed with the blade, she believed herself little more than a warrior with little understanding of mortal hearts. Thus, she chose to give up her bodily form, helping her sister to ascend to the \"heavenly citadel\" and obtain dominion over Inazuma. Shortly after, the True Shogun, \"Makoto,\" set up her Shogunate and began to rule over the land. Remembering their bond, she recalled \"Ei\"'s divine will and reforged her body, thus returning her sister to her side once more as her kagemusha." } ]

Twilight Theater Head's Notes
Books
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me what you know about 'Twilight Theater Head's Notes' from Genshin Impact" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "'Twilight Theater Head's Notes' is a readable entry in the Genshin Impact universe. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nPrelude:\n(A luxurious palace with equally opulent trappings. The great king, the valiant princess, and her loyal servant wait onstage.) Narrator: Upon hearing of human dreams precious as gold, an insatiable evil dragon descended upon the kingdom. Narrator: Oblivious to this ill, the king and his princess continued to debate the content of their meal. Narrator: Meat or vegetable - though the princess's most loyal servant would have proposed both to end the squabble. Narrator: But few knew his name, and fewer still cared for his counsel. (The wicked dragon circles in the sky thrice before coming onstage. The dragon will breathe fire, but watch out for the props and stage, and make sure not to get any flames on the audience!) Wicked Dragon: Dreams like gold... I wonder if they will be flavorful? (The stage shakes as the wicked dragon lands. This must be an impactful moment! But not too much, or the background boards might collapse.) Wicked Dragon: Phew. These uneven tiles on the ground knocked the wind out of my sails. Wicked Dragon: Ah! Good, very good! Though you are puny, you harbor dreams grand enough for myself! (The king advances and faces the dragon, upright and true.) King: Begone, evil dragon! Wicked Dragon: \"Evil dragon\"? How laughable. (The wicked dragon spreads its wings to cover the stage lights. At least half of the lights should wind up covered.) Wicked Dragon: A dragon as illustrated and thoughtful as myself should surely be granted \"enlightened\" as a title. Wicked Dragon: My kin are known to covet treasure, yet I have found the dreams of puny man more enticing than jewels. Wicked Dragon: It is most spectacular how man can stuff their minds with dreams, whether they be starving or full. Wicked Dragon: Human dreams are more precious than gold, or so they say. Wicked Dragon: (greedily) Today, I will see for myself if your dreams are indeed as filling as they are valuable. Wicked Dragon: (fiercely) My hunger wears away at my control, I must feast as soon as possible. Wicked Dragon: Puny king, if you value your own life and those of your kin, then offer up thy sacrifice thereupon! King: To see me as a coward - are your vile eyes mere reflective stones? King: Dreams and nobility are my lifelong pursuits, I will not give them up for you. King: Be gone, evil dragon! The kingdom won't cower before you! Wicked Dragon: I must urge that you reconsider, though courage fills your measly soul. Wicked Dragon: Which choice is more favorable between sacrifice and annihilation, some time will surely show. Wicked Dragon: Huff, I will find some rest in your city outskirts. But before nightfall, I will return for my fill. Wicked Dragon: If you fail to give, then I will take for myself. Your palace shall be my hunting grounds, and your halls my stove. (The dragon gives a deafening roar and the stage also shakes to show its might. Similarly, its amplitude should not be too great, or pains should be taken to use ropes that will hold the background board in place. The dragon's departure need not feature any fire-breathing. Our budget should be spent on the grand finale later.) Narrator: Convinced that the king will in time provide a delicious meal, the hubristic dragon departed the castle for a short break. Narrator: The righteous King had no intention to yield. and planned to call upon his banners to conquer evil. Princess: (Remember to shine the spotlight on Her Highness when she takes the stage!) I will defeat the dragon to protect our kingdom. King: My child! You forget yourself! King: A princess cannot march. King: Your place is not in battle, but within the boudoir. Princess: I have not forgotten your teachings; I cannot give up dreams and nobility. Princess: I should walk freely among our people, as a princess, but also as a warrior. Princess: With the dragon outside, I cannot just sit still. King: You are a princess first. King: Moreover, I cannot bear to see you step into danger. King: Futhermore, you... Loyal Servant: (Leon doesn't require any light) Ahem! Rest assured, your Majesty, by my side, her safety will be secure. King: With no name or honor, how do you propose to protect her? (The King bids Leon leave) King: Alas, say no more - I will summon the bravest warriors of the land to ride beside her. Narrator: There were three celebrated warriors in the realm, each endowed with great gifts, and known for skills spectacular. Narrator: All waited patiently outside the palace, eager to step into the throne room. (The three servants' entrances should be marked by the spotlight. Along with the light, perhaps some falling feathers for effect might also help?) Narrator: The forger of great legacies, the world famous fighter, Attendant A. Narrator: His glory is resplendent, and his travels the epics of the day. Narrator: Within the realm, only the most ignorant have not heard of the hero, or given him acclaim. (Servant A strides forth with his sword to face the audience. His voice should be especially loud. 30 per cent louder than that of the other characters, thereabouts.) Servant A: You say you didn't know? Here, I'll tell you all about my name! Narrator: The often indecisive and over-cautious tactician, Attendant B. Narrator: Specialist in surviving any and everything in one piece. Narrator: Is he paranoid, or simply meticulous? No consensus exists. (Servant B strides up to face the audience.) Servant B: A phenomenal plan takes time to formulate. Use your brain, not your fists. Servant B: You think I'm afraid? D-Don't discount my field expertise! Narrator: And finally, our preeminent dragon-slayer, Attendant C. Narrator: \"Dragonslaying is a pice of cake, if you must ask me.\" Narrator: The slayer recounted his many legends, showcasing spoils for all to see. (Servant C comes up and retrives a mantle from a treasure chest to show to the audience.) Servant C: See, this cloak has a very colorful history. Please listen carefully... Narrator: The warriors have arrived, they are ready to fight. Princess: Their names are so long and complicated. Why is that? Loyal Servant: To project shock and awe, people often exaggerate their deeds. Princess: Oh! I must be ignorant. I've never heard of such a trend. King: Welcome, brave warriors! May you persevere, and prevail against the obstacles ahead. (The 3 servants are given the limelight in their turn. The spotlight should move to match.) Servant A: I swear upon all my past glory, a triumph for our princess is at hand! Servant A: The princess need not fear with me by her side. The dragon will fall in no time. Servant B: ...A-A dragon poses no threat! Servant B: My plan will make it flee with its tail between its legs. Servant C: Friends, you make fair points, but you may not even have to fight. Servant C: My slaying prowess is acclaimed throughout our land. The dragon will tremble and scram. Narrator: So, accompanied by her loyal servant... Narrator: As well as the three famed warriors, the princess set out on her quest. (All exeunt. Some special effects may be considered for their depature, for example using a bright light along their path ahead, showing that their future is bright! Make sure not to shine it on the audience, though. I don't want to get sued.)\n\nInterlude I:\n(The outskirts of the city. This is a forest by lake, from which one may espy a castle on a mountain in the distance. The trees must look especially realistic. Some fallen leaves can be placed on stage beforehand. This way, they will come rolling up into the air as the dragon passes through, showing off the realism of our backdrops!) Narrator: Outside of the city gates, there lies a blessed stretch of prairie by the lake, with lush vegetation and a gentle, pleasant breeze. Narrator: Seeking some time to rest, the wicked dragon landed with ease. (The wicked dragon flies onstage from afar and will make three loops around the stage - it can do a few more sweeps, but no fire-breathing, lest we burn our backdrop.) Wicked Dragon: A lake across and so far away, the castle as if a bird in a cage. Have the humans finished preparing my meal, or do they yet believe they can defy their fate? Wicked Dragon: The sun is high, and the land scorching. In interest of comfort, I will seek a more accommodating base. (The dragon lands in the shadow of the trees, curls up into a ball, and makes to sleep. Make sure its tail doesn't knock the backdrop own while this is happening.) Wicked Dragon: (sleepily) For one promised moment of unrivaled taste, I have traveled for hundreds of miles, and hungered over dozens of days. Wicked Dragon: The humans better not exhaust my patience, for even I have never had unlimited grace. Narrator: Having spoken thus, the dragon sought relief in the shade, yet forthwith, one merchant came from the other direction in a hurry... (The merchant takes the stage and walks quickly to the dragon's side.) Merchant: (angrily) What rotten luck, to get scammed before even concluding a single sale! Merchant: I am a merchant who has traveled a very long way. Is this how this kingdom deals with trades? Merchant: Throughout my entire career, I've never encountered a customer as loud or strange as this man today. Merchant: To him, everything I have for sale is either a manipulative scheme for money, or undeserving trifles of heinous quality. Merchant: To think I even mistook him for some kind of connoisseur, when at the end of it all, he only made a fool of me! Merchant: He never cared to close a sale, he just saw me as a \"challenge\" and refused to be \"defeated\"! Narrator: As the merchant stewed over his anger, yet another irritated soul came onto the scene. (The adventurer takes the stage, falling in staggered formation with the merchant.) Adventurer: Darn it! Why is this guy getting in my way? My quest is to track the dragon, I don't have time to waste! Adventurer: As an adventurer, defeating evil is my calling! Just the thought of him makes me enraged! Adventurer: All I said was that I've never heard of him, and he's treating that like the biggest mistake. Adventurer: Insulting me, claiming I want to steal his glory, and suggesting my quest is just a ploy... Servant A: (within) Evil dragon! Show yourself! Resistance is futile! Merchant: That's him! Adventurer: That must be him! (The merchant and the adventurer look around furiously in search of Servant A, and the scene ends. To focus the emotions of the actors, it is advised that they imagine that Servant A stole their dinner.) Wicked Dragon: Human are truly a rude and rowdy lot. To think they can cause such a ruckus without even showing their faces... Narrator: The man in pursuit is the kingdom's famed fighter. Though the sun continues to blaze, he continues spiritedly with his chase. (Servant A enters wielding a sword, all confidence and bravado. The spotlight shines upon him.) Servant A: Hahahaha! It would seem that my boundless fame has caused even the evil dragon to lose its nerve. Wicked Dragon: As an enlightened dragon, one cannot tolerate such deranged words. Servant A: Ah! Evil dragon! I didn't believe you would actually come out and face me. (Servant A draws his weapon and makes to advance.) Wicked Dragon: The puny human talks big and employs an aggressive tone. Yet, does the substance of his dream back up his claim? Wicked Dragon: Oh... hmm. (The dragon looks Servant A up and down with a perplexed expression.) Servant A: Oh! And the beast is silent! Is my dream so grand that even a dragon finds it difficult to consume? Narrator: As the noble warrior faced off against the evil dragon, the anxious princess and her entourage arrived at least. Narrator: The nameless servant kept his eyes on the field. The warrior's words have ignited a fire within his heart. (Leon takes the field and gazes upon Servant A, talking to himself.) Loyal Servant: I admire his fearless figure. It would be a dream to also one day prove my character. Servant A: Evil dragon! Why do you not speak? Have you finally realized you should cower in fear? Wicked Dragon: I care not for those who are lesser. Your dream is massive, yet hollow in nature. For now, this wi- enlightened dragon still cannot decide if it's fit to eat... Servant A: How vile of you to humiliate me, just because I am an enemy! Servant A: I regarded you as a worthy opponent, yet you use such insidious tactics! Servant A: I, the world-famous fighter, will never fall before your degredation and trickery. You disgust me! (Servant A advances, intending to do battle with the wicked dragon, but the dragon yawns deeply and groggily instead.) Narrator: The fighter's animated speech kindled a burning flame within even the oft-dispassionate heart of the royal lady. (The valiant princess takes the stage! This stage does not much highlight her brilliance, but keep the spotlight on her nonetheless. Also, bear in mind that \"kindled a burning flame even within the oft-dispassionate heart\" is mere metaphor, and does not refer to truly setting the stage on fire. That said, is there some way to change the lights to a shade of red? Perhaps the judicious application of some Valberry juice might od the trick...) Princess: I am long tired of my peaceful boudoir, I wish to fight alongside my soldiers! Wicked Dragon: Though one sees little reason to teach a lesson, perhaps no choice is left in the matter. Wicked Dragon: Too many appetizers before the dish ruins the mood, but just for today, I can entertain an early platter. Narrator: To everyone's shock, the evil dragon then swallowed the fighter's dream in one big gulp. (A dark light shines forth from Servant A's armor. The dragon raises both wings on high and leans down, absorbing it all! Servant A falls to the ground bonelessly, his sword discarded, his expression stunned. However, please take not to fall lightly so the backdrops are not tipped over by the impact. Servant A is wearing armor, after all.) Wicked Dragon: It is just as I thought. Thin and crunchy, though empty under its shell. A most marvelous texture. (The dragon licks its lips in satisfaction, beats its wings, and departs.) Princess: The warrior was handily defeated! So he was a gifted orator, but never a true fighter. Loyal Servant: Conceit became his downfall. His power did not match his stature. Narrator: The dragon remained unsatiated. Under everyone's gaze, it flew away to parts unfamiliar. (End Scene. The Princess stands in the middle of the stage until the curtain is pulled up, all the better for the audience to witness her glorious form!)\n\nInterlude II:\n(The banners fly bravely outside the royal gates, making for a majestic sight indeed. The Wicked Dragon flies onstage form a window and lands before the gate, examining its surroundings. While landing on the walls themselves would have a greater visual effect, the various scenery props will likely not take the dragons's wait, so it is best to just land in front of the gate!) Narrator: The dragon flew off, and briefly rested at the gate. Wicked Dragon: Where are the guards? Are they too terrified to face their fate? Narrator: As the evil dragon made no attempts to move or hide, the princess and her entourage quickly arrived. Narrator: The princess's loyal knight was the first to spot the creature, for he always rode far ahead. (Leon takes the stage and monologues to the audience.) Loyal Servant: (firmly) How dare the dragon be insolent as such! I pledged before the king, to not let the princess come to harm. Loyal Servant: (slightly worried) Mayhap our tactician can succeed with his wits and charm. Loyal Servant: Legends have it that he's the ultimate survivor. Loyal Servant: If he can ward against dangers with fastidious care, we need not recklessly suffer. Loyal Servant: Without a plan, we should not pull the trigger. Narrator: The loyal servant passed the message in a voice barely higher than a whisper. Narrator: \"While the evil dragon rests, we will draw up a plan.\" Narrator: Upon those words, she approached carefully, so the dragon would ignore her steps. (The princess takes the stage, standing beside Leon, speaking to the audience.) Princess: The tactician is correct. We require a plan before we fight. Princess: Thanks to my servant's far-sighted work, we have seized the initiative. Loyal Servant: Your highness honors me, I was simply doing my duty. Princess: Placing the saddle on the right horse is the way of the world. Take your praise with pride. Princess: The tactician has fallen behind. Why does he falter? Did he get entangled in a struggle? Loyal Servant: He promised to quell all draconic cataclysms. Perhaps he is torn between myriad schemes. Narrator: Through all faith and cynicism, the cautious tactician remained silent, his face one of dismay and gloom. (Servant B enters, his face fearful and nervous.) Servant B: ... Loyal Servant: O tactician, the dragon beckons. Please enlighten us about the strategem. Servant B: S-Strategem? No strategem can be perfected so quickly for a situation this grave. More time is vital... Wicked Dragon: Haha, this merciful enlightened one shall grant thee all the time in the world. Only at dusk will I call the dust to settle. (The wicked dragon, once crawling before the city gate, now raises its head and breathes fire toward the skies! Be careful not to burn the flags, since the stage props are not fireproof, so a real fire would be trouble and then some.) Princess: Hark, the evil dragon speaks! It was simply feigning sleep to lure us into peril! Servant B: Aah! (Servant B pales greatly and flees stumbling offstage. Everyone seems stunned by this turn of events.) Narrator: Attendant B shook where he stood, stopping just short from falling to his knees. Narrator: He muttered and apologized, then ran away to the gate without hesitation. Narrator: The princess and her loyal servant rushed off to find him, while the dragon broke into laughter. Wicked Dragon: (disdainfully) If the king had chosen to appease me, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy such a scene! Narrator: Leaving behind her tactician-seeking servant, the princess returned alone to keep the dragon under guard. (Even if the princess has no lines, the spotlight should be on her nonetheless.) Princess: (facing the audience, monologuing) If a mirage belies the tactician's wisdom, what may I call on to keep my kingdom safe? Princess: The element of surprise fades; the dragon now lies calmly in wait. Princess: The tactician has lost his nerve, yet my servant followed in pursuit. Princess: Shockingly, open city gates greet me where guards should have stood. Narrator: An old guard arrived. Though he was quite visibly drunk, his footsteps were surprisingly steady. (The Old Guard enters.) Old Guard: *Hic* If you ask me, this time of peace is truly fantastic, what with food, wine and beauties! Old Guard: The aristocrats have never known our hardships, the searing sun and the chilling wind! Old Guard: Dragons? Tacticians? What a boatload of nonsense! Old Guard: My eyes are dim now, and my ears ring. Why did they send me out to the front lines to take on a dragon? Narrator: Though the young guard learned much from his senior, he hasn't forgotten his wish to defend the kingdom. (Young Guard enters.) Young Guard: F-For the princess, I must fight! Young Guard: With everyone gone, I am the last line of defense! Young Guard: I must save the kingdom from ruin and defeat this gluttonous dragon! Young Guard: (draws blade) Wicked Dragon! Have you anything to say before I fell you here and now? Wicked Dragon: (happily) Haha, very well, very well! Let this enlightened one see if you have any battle prowess to back up that shout! (The dragon takes to the skies again, looming ove the young guard, who seizes up a bow and arrows and fires at the former. Just go through the motions don't fire actual arrows, or we might get in trouble if they hit people!) Narrator: The loyal servant finally returned just as the terrible fight was about to break out. (Leon comes up quickly. At this point, the focus of the audience will still be on the young guard and the dragon, so make sure to put a spotlight on Leon.) Loyal Servant: The tactician's trail fades, but the guard should carry his weight. Loyal Servant: No, I should have led him into battle, I was still way too late! Narrator: The late arrival let out a resigned sigh even as the dragon raised the stakes. (The evil dragon rushes the young guard with inexorable force. The guard throws down the bow and arrows and draws his sword instead, hurrying to meet the foe. The two trade blows, but the young guard is ultimately no match for the dragon and is repelled by it. Pouncing, the dragon swallows the dark light flowing from the guard's armor. The special effects here must be special indeed. For example, get the dragon to careful breathe just a little fire when its claws and the gaurd's blade clash, just to imitate sparks flying every which way...) Narrator: Though the young guard fought with valor, the cunning dragon still snapped up the prize in one take. Young Guard: *sob* If I had worked harder during training, I wouldn't feel so helpless today... Wicked Dragon: Though my appetite remains healthy, you did well to quench my cravings. Wicked Dragon: The portions were modest, yet the taste remained rather satisfying. Wicked Dragon: If the appetizers had already entertained me so, surely the main dish would cast a spell. Narrator: Thus again satisfied, the proud dragon licked its mouth and leisurely flew off. (The wicked dragon exits once more, and everyone watches as it departs. Scene end.)\n\nInterlude III:\n(Village on the city outskirts, as the scene opens, wood can be lit backstage to imitate the smoky atmosphere.) Narrator: Still vowing to defeat the dragon, the princess followed the trail. Narrator: The servant continued at his pace, shouldering all burdens without fail. Narrator: Though the slayer scorned the servant, the loyal man paid it no mind. (Leon, carrying a luxurious and heavy treasure chest, struggles to get onstage.) Loyal Servant: If I bore his tools and freed his mind, perhaps a victory he shall find. Loyal Servant: He bears the sword of destiny, the blade of the chosen one. Loyal Servant: He will raise it before the dragon, and victory will follow in time. (The dragon flies in from afar and roars, setting the sunset backdrop alight with its breathed flmaes. Make sure the fireproof platforms for the sunset scene have been installed correctly. If they have not, just take the sunset scene down altogether to prevent safety incidents and the audience lawsuits that will surely ensure.) Narrator: As if hearing his thoughts, the dragon descended upon a village. Wicked Dragon: Let me see, let me find. Is my golden dream right at hand? (Servant C arrives on stage behind Leon, relaxed and carrying no burden.) Servant C: O dragon, no one would laugh at you if you were to flee in fear! Wicked Dragon: The human realizes not how comical he and his words appear. Servant C: Wise and merciful as I am, I will refrain from taking the bait. Servant C: However, I pray you will live to regret what you say. Wicked Dragon: Haha, for a dull human, you sure have a sharp tongue. Wicked Dragon: Let's see it, then, if among heroes you truly belong. Narrator: The princess has also finally caught up with her attendants. (The spotlight roves around the stage once before landing on the princess. Yes, the fearless princess has at last taken the stage once again!) Princess: It should be my duty to banish the dragon. Servant C: Your Highness, your permission to charge. Servant C: With my blade and extensive experience, I will take this dragon apart. Princess: Permission granted. Be on your guard. Servant C: I once slew a poisonous dragon, and took this most precious reward. (Displays his mantle) Servant C: This cloak lets me evade any type of regard. (While the audience is distracted by the mantle, Servant C disappears!) Servant C: (within) I will bide my time, and find the moment to strike the heart. Wicked Dragon: Ah, and here I thought you were privy to some special art. Wicked Dragon: Did you plan to flee all along, and have only been waiting for a chance to depart? Hmm? Narrator: If the slayer put on his cloak and walked into the crowd, who would be able to tell him apart? Servant C: Dragon, how dare you slander my name? Servant C: Despite my patience and mercy, you have shown no shame. Servant C: Bitter regret will be yours after I take aim. Wicked Dragon: By all means, please go on. This enlightened one cannot wait to play your game. Servant C: L-let's take it over there! Narrator: Silently acknowledging the request, the dragon twisted its features into a benevolent smile. (Scene End. After this, the stage backdrop should be changed a little. Remember to put out the fires on the sunset decorations!) Narrator: In a flash, the dragon landed at the promised place. Narrator: The princess and her loyal servant immediately followed apace. Narrator: But the slayer remained rooted in place. Has he somehow lost his faith? (Servant C takes the stage and walks around a sword in the stone, but will not draw it.) Servant C: ...Evil dragon, you'll see what I'm made of! Servant C: I've climbed mountains, crossed lakes traversed dungeons, and defeated your kin... Servant C: To finally obtain this sword, the blade of fate. Servant C: Leave now, otherwise this razor-sharp blade will cut you into pieces! Wicked Dragon: Hahaha. What must be a shining myth to you is but trivial babble to me. Wicked Dragon: I will settle and not even move two feet. Attack as you please. Narrator: Simple villagers gathered to witness the scene. Many were fascinated by the blade's myth. Narrator: A farmer came forward to try out the blade, but others wondered if hands that had only held a pitchfork could even grasp the hilt. (The farmer steps forth, throws down the pitchfork, and comes up to the blade.) Farmer: I consider myself a fit man, a match for knights from the palace. (The farmer attempts several times with all his might to pull the blade out, but it does not even budge an inch.) Farmer: Uh! I thought I was strong enough, but I couldn't even shake it. Narrator: The farmer used all his strength, but the sword remained in place. Narrator: As for the princess and her servant, they also declined to try their faith. Narrator: The dragon observed intently, but its patience finally wore away. Wicked Dragon: (bored) Alas, I've grown tired of words and charades. When will a puny human finally save the day? Wicked Dragon: Take the blade and strike me down, if you mean what you say! Servant C: A-A mighty dragon slayer shan't do your bidding! Wicked Dragon: A dragon slayer? You are but a charlatan. Wicked Dragon: Drop your pretense and ask the child. Even he can see through you. Narrator: Could the dragon's words be true, and there is no true dream under those layers of armor? (A child walks onstage, looks at the dragon, then at Servant C.) Child: A dragon, bigger than those from the rhymes! But I won't be scared! Child: That shiny armor, why does it click? His mouth is open, why does he not speak? Wicked Dragon: Though I'm not hungry, this snack's been delivered straight to my door! Narrator: The dragon's huge mouth instantly swallowed the slayer's dream. (Servant C stands where he is, rooted to the spot by utter terror, while the dragon flies up high before charging down at him. This descent must be at least fifty meters, and the dragon's roar must be enough to shake the stage. The dragon absorbs the dark light from Servant C's armor, upon which Servant C shall be left motionless, the sword in the stone cast aside. Please take care when chucking it, though, lest the stage props get damaged.) Wicked Dragon: *chews* Hmph, it's just as I expected. Long rotten dreams make for terrible food. Wicked Dragon: This bad apple taste... what a disgrace. (The dragon picks its teeth somewhat unhappily and departs from the village. The Loyal Servant and others are shocked, but the princess just sighs softly.) Loyal Servant: The slayer was also defeated! Princess: So the tales of past battles did not hold up. Narrator: The dragon again departed the scene, leaving only the bewildered slayer in his wake. (Scene End. Only pull the curtains once the dragon has gotten far enough away, or the audience will not be able to keep their eyes on the princess.)\n\nFinale:\n(Far outside the royal city, the princess and her loyal attendant come to the cavern where the dragon is resting.) Princess: The sun's about to set, and the moon soon to rise. Princess: Our time is almost up, but evil survives. Princess: The famed attendants all took on the dragon, but they fell one by one. Princess: I made a vow, when all of this began... Princess: But now I fear, my vow has become a farce... Loyal Servant: As her most loyal servant, I should share her worries. Loyal Servant: I am a nobody, but thanks to her, I was given a place. Loyal Servant: Nevertheless, I admire the princess's diligence and kindness. Loyal Servant: Please, don't dwell in sadness. We can reflect on the trio's mistakes. Princess: Your consel is valid. Let me recall their words and deeds. Narrator: An inflated ego, yet falling at the first hurdle... the princess remembered what she'd seen. (Servant A enters, his head bowed in disgrace as he faces the audience. The spotlight is on him.) Servant A: I fancied myself a fighter, but my enemy saw right through me. I overestimated my ability. Servant A: I couldn't win against a strong enemy, but I also clung hard to my conceit. Servant A: I lacked respect, because I feared others wouldn't respect me. (The spotlight returns to the princess.) Princess: A dream that was massive in size, yet hollow inside. Princess: Lots of guts, but no ability. Narrator: A supposedly foolproof plan, yet with no one to see it through... the princess remembered again. (Servant B enters, his terror evident as he faces the audience. The spotlight is on him.) Servant B: To protect myself, I ran awaay and let others take my place. Servant B: All my plans evaporated when I saw the dragon in front of me. Servant B: I did survive everything, but every time, I did so by abandoning those standing next to me. (Return the spotlight to the princess again!) Princess: He was a tactician with neither morals nor strategy. Princess: It's natural to be cautious, but one who abandons their comrades is no hero. Narrator: Avoiding the present, and only speaking endlessly of past glories... the princess remembered one last time. (Servant C enters, shamefaced and squeamish as he faces the audience. The spotlight is on him.) Servant C: My past has proved my deeds, my laurels should now be able to speak for me. Servant C: To give my life now would be foolish. It's elementary to balance risk and benefits. (As the spotlight sweeps back to the princess, the three servants quietly exeunt.) Princess: His past has faded, all he has now is his former glory. Princess: The spirit has decayed. He has long forgotten the taste of his dream. (The princess lightly grasps her rapier and looks up to the distant sky.) Princess: Ah, if they all failed to defeat the dragon, then I... Princess: With only my dream and my rapier, how can I possibly defeat the dragon? (Leon walks up to the princess, nodding slightly to show his resolve.) Loyal Servant: Though I am but a lowly bystander in the palace... Loyal Servant: I know you to be humble and grounded. Loyal Servant: You are never selfish or merciless. Loyal Servant: All know you for your eagerness and diligence, your dreams that are no less than gold. Loyal Servant: Your Highness, please don't underestimate yourself. Believe in your golden ideals... Servant: And that you will slay that dream-devouring dragon for good! (Scene ends. When the scene reopens, the dragon is on all fours in a cave, seeming rather distressed. The dragon must enter with extreme care. Do not knock the various props aside!) Narrator: It is almost night. The dragon has changed its name to \"the starving one.\" Wicked Dragon: I've had snack after snack, but dinner still eludes me. Wicked Dragon: Snacks are distractions; in the end, they have no true substance. Wicked Dragon: What's more, some of these just made me feel sick. Wicked Dragon: I'm afraid only a true golden dream can sufficiently quench my cravings. (Leon creeps back on stage. The wicked dragon, rubbing its belly, does not notice him.) Narrator: The loyal servant approached quietly to observe the dragon. For the princess, he will do any and everything. Loyal Servant: ...For my promise to the king... Loyal Servant: ...But also, to make her happy. Even if it seems impossible... Loyal Servant: Huh? The dragon looks strange, why is it covering its chest? Let's her what it's mumbling... Wicked Dragon: (monologue) I shouldn't have underestimated the humans, or been so gluttonous... Wicked Dragon: Now that my stomach is churning, I have no strength left to face off against the king. Narrator: Overjoyed, the loyal servant rushed back to share the news. (Leon hurries offstage and returns with the princess, who is armed with her sword. The spotlight is upon her as she raises her weapon and confronts the wicked dragon!) Princess: My heart is full of courage, I will wield my rapier with pride. Loyal Servant: (points at the dragon's chest) Look! There's a spot above its heart that isn't covered by scales! Loyal Servant: Take it down, while it's still weak! Princess: Evil dragon! I challenge thee to protect my kingdom! (The princess leaps on high and makes to stab the dragon fatally in its heart. The dragon rises hurriedly and flaps its wings in an attempt to block the blow, but the princess leaps up its body and strikes true!) Wicked Dragon: Ahhh! Filthy human! Narrator: With a fearless thrust, the princess fulfilled her pledge. (The dragon falls with a crash. Just use a sound effect for this, though, or else the stage will surely collapse!) Princess: The world opens itself before those who do not forget their dreams and nobility. Princess: Thank you as well, my loyal servant. You deserve a fitting reward. Princess: In light of our recent trials, I will name you... (The princess points to her loyal servant and the latter begins to glow with a dark light. Many feathers descend from above upon the stage, and the servant twirls as he slowly ascends to the sky. Scene ends.) Narrator: The Shatterer of Despair, Fügel der Dunkelheit, Servant of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung! Narrator: Finally the princess personally defeated the dragon, and peace returned to the kingdom. Narrator: All praise, all praise." } ]

Here is some information about this readable:\n\nVol. 1:\nI don't ever think the world is monotonous. It's just that interesting things happen in far away galaxies. The great adventure of Vera, an ordinary girl always fascinated by distant lands, secretly begins. —Endless Days in Infinite Worlds— \"There are times when I think to myself... There's nothing to do in this tiny village. What a dull place to live.\" This wasn't the first time that Vera had complained about her hometown, the small country village of Delphi. Her frown eased slightly as she lay on the hillside near the village, eyes closed, feeling the breeze of the early summer. \"Then where in this world would you not consider dull?\" Her buddy Sachi asked curiously. Vera sat up and leaned forward. \"I believe on the other side of the Starry Sea is a planet inhabited by gods who can answer all prayers and wishes, and everyone bearing a wish is on a journey to get there. I believe, in our universe, there is a world currently in a war against doomsday, where the noble and elegant souls of fourteen Valkyries burn bright, if only for a brief but magnificent moment...\" \"You've been reading too many of those weird fantasy novels.\" \"But... this village really IS dull. When was the last time anything fun happened here?\" \"Funny you should say that, a new family did move into our village recently...\" \"Novelty and fun aren't the same thing!\" Despite what she had said, Vera decided to pay a visit to the newcomers. Sachi, however, remembered his family's rules, and walked back home for dinner. ... Vera gave the door to the newcomer's abode a gentle push. Much to her surprise, it wasn't locked. \"Anybody home?\" No sooner had the words left her mouth than the living room cupboard doors flew open and out jumped a black-haired boy wearing glasses. He was followed by a tentacled blue slime. \"Make way! Tal, why did you let a stranger in?\" The black-haired boy gently pushed Vera out of his way and picked up an axe by the door. \"You leave me with no choice. Since you have seen everything, there is only one thing for it...\" Thus began the biggest crisis of Vera's life.\n\nVol. 2:\nEverything's just boring. Everything, all the time. It's not depression. It's just reaching the age of 14. So begins Vera's adventure. —My Backyard is Slightly Bigger than the Entire Universe— \"All I can do now is ask you to help me.\" The black-haired boy, who called himself Ike, handed Vera a kitchen knife. He walked back to the cupboard and began slashing at the tentacles frantically. \"Come and help me close this door! If a tentacle starts attacking you, use this kitchen knife to defend yourself!\" Ike's glasses were now covered in blue slime. \"Hurry! We can't let this evil demon cross into Delphi.\" Upon hearing his words, Vera helped Ike close the door. While they were pushing back the tentacles, Vera accidentally stabbed Ike twice in the back. Thankfully, Ike's healing spells were quite potent. \"I shall explain everything to you. I am in fact over a thousand years old, and this door is a gateway to anywhere in the universe. That tentacled monster is an old one from the Large Magellanic Cloud — I went there to get something.\" Ike was covered in slime from head to foot by this point. He wiped his glasses with Vera's dress as he spoke. \"Erm... is there anything else that you'd like to know?\" \"Who's Tal?\" Vera didn't seem to mind. \"An evil spirit that resided in the man-devouring castle. It has served me as a butler since I subdued it. Strangely, it behaved quite friendly towards you.\" Vera's parents always reminded her that people are destined to build families, and that it was futile to entertain dreams of anything beyond the homestead. Her buddy Sachi once told her that if a lively girl like her was to marry someone from a faraway land, the whole village would become unbearably lonely. (The real reason Sachi said this was that he was something of a weakling, and was sure to be ferociously bullied if he ended up having to play with the boys.) \"The human spirit is still too immature. I need to guide you both through the wonders of your childhood.\" Ike extended his inviting arms to Vera. \"You will sing every step of the way on your long journey to youth.\" From the Orion Arm to the Eternal Jahanam, from the Torrents of Time to the depths of the Starry Sea... \"How far is 'beyond'? Any place in this universe is just as boring as my backyard,\" he said. \"The scale of everything beyond follows the heart,\" Ike replied. \"Thus, my heart is slightly bigger than the entire universe.\"\n\nVol. 3:\nThe Andromeda Empire stretches across half the galaxy group. Every planet within the Empire has its own demons and deities, dragons and monsters. \"I've come up with a story for every star from your home.\" \"That's not possible. Looking from here, the Andromeda Galaxy is only one fifth the size of your moon.\" So continues Vera's adventure. —The Man Who Stole the Lone Star— \"I am the second rightful heir to the Andromeda Empire, and I have more than two hundred titles to my name. You shall call me the Princess Andro-Basilisks.\" The charming girl then crossed her arms, savoring the moment of her entrance in her mind and giggling to herself in amusement. Her sole reason for gracing Delphi with her presence was to marry Ike. \"If you, he who conquered a quarter of the universe, marry me, my safety shall be guaranteed after my elder sister takes the throne.\" \"If I may ask, how big is the Andromeda Empire?\" Vera asked. \"I reckon there are more than nine thousand inhabitable planets.\" ——With so many stars in your possession, why come to steal my brilliance? \"So you aren't here to harm Vera?\" Sachi cautiously asked Ike, who was carrying the scrolls and globes of other planets. \"Of course not. I think she would make a great assistant.\" After putting everything down, he clapped his hands. \"You like her?\" \"Me? No, not at all, I don't like her at all!\" Sachi looked away, worried that the old sage might discern his true feelings. He reached for a box full of photo frames. He grabbed a few at random, each picture depicting a different beauty. \"Look at them... They all said that they gave me their one and only true love, but did they? In reality, I was just one of their many lovers.\" Sachi did not know when or where he had heard the saying, but it blurted out from his mouth in his moment of annoyance: \"With so many stars in your possession, why come to steal my brilliance?\"\n\nVol. 4:\nThere is a saying that goes as follows: Not all that glitters is gold, sometimes it is the outpouring of a broken heart. Either way, the stars in the sky certainly aren't made of gold, and most people's hearts aren't made of glass. In any case — here is the next chapter of Vera's adventure! —All that Glitters— \"The people in these photographs are all so pretty,\" Vera exclaimed as she picked up Ike's box of framed photos. \"Of course they are — otherwise, they wouldn't have had the chance to leave me with a photograph to remember them by.\" Ike had no intention of evading. After all, he was a galactic sage who was over a thousand years old. So of course he knew that girls were easily hurt, and that they could become trouble very easily. Ike would thus never cheat a girl — take notes, boys. \"Having seen the starry host, I thus make star-shaped jewels to remember them by,\" he continued to explain. \"But those stars that shine across the universe do not belong to anyone. So it is also impossible to steal them.\" Vera did not understand. \"What are you saying?\" \"I'm saying this for the sake of a foolish fellow who isn't present right now. Pay it no mind, humans are just far too young.\" \"I will serve as a go-between between you and Ike.\" Sachi said to the Princess of the Andromeda Empire in a loud voice. \"Huh?\" \"I love Vera, I don't—\" \"Disgusting. Boring. Be silent, worm. You are an offense to my ears. I've already acknowledged Vera as my friend. I will not hand her over to a cowardly person like you...\" \"Wh—What...\"\n\nVol. 5:\nYou can't have picnics on the sides of a galactic highway! Even the deities will be held fully responsible for road accidents that might occur! The doorway to a study in a simple village connects to anywhere in space and time! Having tea with the deities, playing hide-and-seek across time... Vera's great adventure continues! —Roadside Picnic— When Ike was taking a nap, his servants waged a terrible war against each other. The great wizard had subdued many gods and demons to serve under him. As the most formidable wizard of his day, Ike was in command of gods and demons more numerous than the entries in a dictionary. But who was the strongest of those under his rule? The gods and demons decided to find out for themselves through battle. Unfortunately, they seemed to have erroneously regarded as their own three who were neither gods nor demons: the Princess, Sachi, and Vera. Ike only slept for two hours, but in that time three stars had already been destroyed! \"Why should I protect you?\" The Princess pulled her hand away, and the giant demon plummeted to the ground, its eyeballs gone. The dominant race of the Andromeda Empire may look lovely and sweet, but on their palms grow two special mouths, which they use to devour the eyeballs of their lovers and those they vanquish. \"Are we not friends?\" Vera wiped the blood off her face, and appeared to be hurt by the Princess' words. \"Yea – yes,\" The Princess blushed and looked away. \"I already regard you as my only friend for what has happened. I was not referring to you, Vera.\" \"No!\" Sachi yelled as the gnarly jaws of a dragon closed around him. \"Do you surrender to me now?\" The giant dragon jeered. \"Surrender and concede that you are worthless, lowly rats, and I shall let you live!\" \"I surrender! I surrender! Let me go!\" Sachi screamed. \"Why, a lizard of your despicable breed should know better than to utter such foolish words! Even the geckos in my palace could crush you.\" The Princess gave her wrists a twirl. \"No! This has nothing to do with me!\" Sachi yelled as the dragon cast him into the sky. And just like that, the battle between the dominant species of Andromeda and the ancient giant dragon was over. The moral? You won't get hurt if you just surrender. Sachi was knocked out of the contest and woke Ike up with the slap of a slipper. Vera also survived thanks to the protection of the Princess. \"Argh! You imbecile! The mere sight of you is revolting. Do not come near me! Don't talk to me, don't look at me, nor breathe the same air as me, you lowly scum!\" The Princess could not have a lower opinion of Sachi.\n\nVol. 6:\nThere was once a great scholar who wished to write a book about all the festive days of the empire. After looking into it more closely, he discovered that every single day had some sort of a festival associated with it... He persevered with this monumental writing task for six months before giving up on it. But don't worry — as far as this book is concerned, I am the author, and I won't let my readers down! —For Every Season— Though those things had indeed happened, they were occurrences on a galactic scale. Now, something more mundane was about to happen. The date of the town festival was drawing near. \"I suppose it's finally my turn to introduce you two to this small town, then?\" Vera said as she served the Princess and Ike her very own braised dishes. After all, those things they had encountered in their galactic escapades had to be explained by the Princess and Ike. If there was any knowledge Vera had to present to them, it was the knowledge of her hometown. \"...Afterward, the great king's first messenger, the brave knight Huffman strode west across two continents, crossing great oceans and rivers. As for the imperial sage, the witch from the east, she passed by her hometown on her road eastward, and then came by the land of the Nether. Thus, they finally met here.\" \"Huh, is that so. How interesting.\" Though she was trying hard not to let Vera notice that she did not in fact care for the story at all, the Princess' acting skills required some work. \"So that can only mean that this place is on the polar opposite side of this world from the great king's capital, right?\" Ike said, commenting on a seemingly unimportant aspect of the tale. \"Ahahaha, that's true if you think about it.\" Vera rubbed the back of her head with a crooked smile. \"I've always said that I want to leave this place, but in the end, I discovered that this is the place that I'm most familiar with.\" Having come to this realization on the eve of the town's anniversary, Vera began crying right in front of Sachi's eyes. \"You numbskull! You made Vera cry!\" The Princess made her entry with a flying kick, sending Sachi hurtling away.\n\nVol. 7:\nIn the star clusters at the outer reaches of the universe, habitable planets are few and far between. For this reason, the region is the playground of space captains and pirates alone. With this being the universe, though, there is no port and starboard in the traditional sense — out here, \"starboard\" means whichever side of your spacecraft is oriented towards the star you are using for navigation... Lose yourself, and especially your sense of direction, in this next chapter of Vera's starbound voyage! —Galaxy Wars— \"Re-igniting a sun is not difficult, but I don't think the Andromeda Empire would like to see that happen,\" Ike said to the panicked Vera. \"Do you mean that the Princess has kidnapped Sachi?\" Vera said with some shock in her voice after giving the matter some thought. \"How did you come to that conclusion? I'm saying that only the Andromeda Empire would be capable of kidnapping you and the Princess.\" Ike then turned to face the innumerable lives that dwelled within the galaxy. He paused for a moment before declaring thus: \"Inhabitants of the galaxy. Though I have come here upon the invitation of the High Saint King Lebannin to re-ignite the flames of the few remaining stars, it seems that the Andromeda Empire does not wish for your longevity, and has thus kidnapped my friend.\" \"Are you then to put their lives over that of all life?\" Saint King Lebannin arose from her seat. \"If that is the case, why then do I rule over these stars?\" Finally, the Saint King would charge into peril alone, defeat the assassins from the Andromeda Empire, and rescue both the Princess and Sachi. Afterward, she had a few words with Ike. \"I didn't think you could defeat the dominant species of Andromeda,\" Ike praised. \"They're a strong and hardy race. I suppose it's true, then, that you defeated the holy dragon en route to becoming the Saint King.\" \"I am, in fact, that same holy dragon. I fused with Lebannin's flesh and blood, and now act according to her wishes.\" \"Huh...\" Ike was a little shocked by this. \"Ah, yes. Is that fellow the person the Second Princess is fond of? When I barged in, they were...\" \"What!?\" Now that was a much bigger shock for Ike.\n\nVol. 8:\nOf course boys aren't invited to the girl's slumber party! Girls are sacrosanct, like the gods of the golden age. Vera, the Princess, Saint King Lebannin, and Ur, alpha female of the Galactic Swarm, shall talk deep into the night! —The Girls Themselves— \"I said it was a misunderstanding! She was about to eat me.\" Sachi explained. \"I don't think she was intending to eat you,\" Ike said, pushing his glasses up. \"The dominant race of the Andromeda Empire have organs on the palms of their hands that allow them to capture and consume eyeballs.\" \"I've seen it before. Looks like some sort of... lamprey?\" Sachi shivered a little as he said that last word. \"Let me finish.\" Ike wanted to touch his eyes, but wound up pressing his fingerprint into his glasses. Taking his glasses off, he touched his left eye. \"Their practice of eating eyes has two meanings: submission...\" He touched his right eye. \"...and love.\" Sachi also began to rub both his eyes, thinking about which it was back then. \"Whatever the case, I don't think the princess really understands the difference. Those who submit to her, those things she conquers, those who love her — they're all the same to her. People who can't hurt her in an imperial succession battle.\" \"Huh. No wonder those Andromeda Empire assassins kidnapped her. Two birds with one stone, eh?\" \"I'm not getting involved in their succession wars. I can only help you support her better.\" \"Hey now — we're not like that! I mean, doesn't she hate me the most?\" And what were the girls talking about at this very moment? That may yet be an eternal mystery.\n\nVol. 9:\n\"Vera's so beautiful, like a shining star in the universe, but I...\" \"Boys at this age are always more petite than girls of a similar age.\" Childhood must be let go of to welcome the coming of the adolescent years. It's not too late to think about it now... Real melancholy finally hits Vera. —Death Awaits in Abyssal Waves— As Vera and Sachi grew up, the chemistry between the four changed in subtle and inexplicable ways. \"Enough with excuses,\" Sachi said to Ike. \"Vera will not cease pursuing you even if you never reciprocate her feelings.\" Ike was a symbol of a faraway land. He stood for the unknown, for that which was waiting to be discovered. A brave bird would never nest there, but would be forever adrift in the winds of admiration. Ike retorted, \"No matter which way you look at it, being a thousand years old makes you an elderly person.\" \"Then we are well-matched in age.\" The Princess merrily chipped in on their conversation. When Sachi finally mustered the courage to declare his love, he met with the most dreadful fate. Remember the ancient sword that Ike and Vera received from the old ones when they first met? It was what Ike needed to propel destiny forward! But now, Vera had her finger slit by its blade, and a malicious ancient virus sapped the life out of her. \"This is all your fault!\" Sachi grabbed Ike by the collar. If the tragedy had not happened, Ike would have laughed it off, for he was a gentle soul. But this time, he slapped Sachi's hand away. \"Don't you know how to rewind time? Please! Do it to save Vera!\" Even the Princess begged. \"You don't understand. Only the future can save the past, not the other way around.\" Ike bit his lip until blood came flowing down. \"A local myth speaks of a Silver Age when people enjoyed a seemingly endless childhood that could last up to two hundred years. This only made their short maturity a pain to bear.\" To the others, childhood was long gone, but youth was forever beyond their reach. To be continued in \"Vera's Melancholy\" without Vera.\n\nVol. 10:\n\"It's enough. Let's go home... The furthest place I've dreamt of, is the Delphi where you are.\" Though the explanation is delayed, you should know that Delphi is the center of Greek mythology. Vera's Melancholy - the perfect ending... or is it? —Vera's Melancholy— To revive Vera, Sachi, Ike and the Princess embarked on a spectacular and thrilling journey that lasted twenty years. From battling Signor Inferno to slaying the Star Devourer, the trio had even rescued two galaxies and the Galaxy Empire, and eliminated four species of ruthless interstellar worms along the way. When Vera opened her eyes, she found herself in the arms of Sachi, now a hero of cosmic proportions. To the dominant species of Andromeda, twenty years was nothing more than a few seconds. The Princess looked lovely as always, but her countenance was a curious mix of genuine happiness and loss. Sachi, having lost an eye in his adventures, was now a tall and strapping young man. His flowing tears soaked into Vera's shoulders — though still prone to tears, he was no longer his feeble-minded self. The years had been kind to Ike, who after all this time still had that same old smile on his face. \"I am but an echo of time,\" Ike said as he began his preparations. \"As I've said, the past cannot change the future, for the predetermined rules of equilibrium are slightly more powerful than me. But the future, with its infinite possibilities, could save the world.\" Ike transformed Sachi back into who he was twenty years ago, and time reversed itself to the day of their departure. Everything seemed to remain unchanged between the four, though they realized that the innocence they once shared was one thing that could never return. \"I am sorry for depriving you of your childhood,\" Ike said to him. \"Now go, the youth that you deserve awaits.\" \"I have witnessed every wonder in the universe for your sake, and this was how my childhood ended.\" Sachi summoned every last ounce of his courage as he stood before the girl of his destiny. \"I will never reach my youth without you by my side.\" What will her answer be?

For just is the law of Rex Lapis, and ineffable His wisdom — The cornerstones of justice, which prevails throughout His kingdom. Slayer of foul demons, no evil would He leave unquenched. He sought celestial order, to stay the tide of turbulence. Adepti rallied 'round Him, yaksha guardians charged ahead, Frightened by the courageous people the demons fled. The Lord then fashioned mighty rocks, which into the earth He cast: The sea monster subdued, peace returned at last! Though demons lay defeated, their souls did plot revenge. Down into the watery abyss the demonic souls did descend. Hatred fueled their rage. Rage, in turn, did blunt their mind, Their folly sullied the seas, whence the demons multiplied: A demonic infestation thus engendered by the fallen souls. Five yaksha guardians His Majesty task'd with evil to defeat, To rid the world of poisonous rage with which the demons seethed. Mountains shook as yaksha wrath with golden splendor burned, But though they purged the evil, alas! One alone returned: Alatus, by whose talons foes were quashed and peace procured. A peace that harked to days gone by was the peace that now endured. Peace restored, adepti back to Jueyun Karst ascended. Duty fulfilled, yakshas off to unknown corners departed. May this lowly offering departed souls appease. And may these words by fire's light His Majesty's heart please." } ]

A volume out of the \"Wonders and Folklore of Liyue\" collection, which serves as Liyue's own version of \"Tour of the Land of Liyue,\" an encyclopedia of folk beliefs and customs by Masudi, a scholar from Sumeru. Due to the archaic nature of the author's writing style, it was largely dismissed by the public and publishers alike. \"Yakshas: The Guardian Adepti\" introduces the readers to the various yakshas who fought side-by-side with the Geo Archon. Here is some information about this readable:\n\nYakshas: The Guardian Adepti:\nLiyue knew naught but plague in antiquity. The warmongering gods made it so, for the vanquished were crushed under the rocks, and there they rotted and became soil. Thus were they returned to the cycle of Elements, which doth span both Heaven and Earth, and which knows no end. But some souls held on to their hatred and took on flesh once more as daemons. The daemons rose up in anger, giving rise to a miasma, which in turn engendered all manner of plagues, monsters and other perverse evils. They starved the earth and churned the waters, and wrought devastation on the people. Therefore, it is said: The daemonic is the shadow of the divine. \"Liyue suffered many outbreaks of disease in ancient times. Some say this was caused by the chaos of the relentless warring between gods. The defeated were squashed beneath the rocks of the earth, where they decomposed and became soil, and finally re-entered the everlasting elemental cycle. Some of the gods' souls were filled with bitterness at their fate, and refused to suffer it any longer. Their bitterness materialized and became evil monsters. The monsters' rage manifested itself in the form of diseases, monster infestations, and all kinds of other strange occurrences. The monsters ravaged the land and turned it into a wilderness, and unleashed all manner of evil upon the rivers and seas. They inflicted untold suffering on the people. Hence, what we call monsters are in fact physical manifestations of the resentment of gods defeated in war.\" Rex Lapis summoned yakshas unto him to purge the daemons. Illuminated beasts of dreadful appearance and warlike temperament were they, and no brutality did they spare in their duty to defend. Of the many, five were the strongest: Bosacius, Indarias, Bonanus, Menogias, and Alatus. Wherever battle took Rex Lapis, so too did they follow, until the plague was purged. The five are known unto mortals as \"The Yakshas.\" \"Rex Lapis summoned yakshas to help him destroy the monsters. The yakshas were illuminated beasts of Liyue. Ferocious and intimidating to behold, they were violent by nature and formidable in battle, ready to kill mercilessly to defend Rex Lapis' rule. Among the yakshas, five were known as the strongest: Bosacius, Indarias, Bonanus, Menogias, and Alatus. The five followed Rex Lapis into battle countless times, finally wiping out the evil at its source. They became know throughout the world simply as 'The Yakshas'.\" \"The Yakshas\" were guardians of Rex Lapis for years without measure, and the evils they vanquished were incalculable. Yet, mighty though they were, beyond the torment that betide all who face war the yakshas were not, and they became afflicted. Some were given unto their rage, others unto a madness which fear mongered. Many turned to the slaughter of their own, others were bewitched by shadows of the soul. After a millennium did fate present itself unto them, and it was such: three of the five perished, the fourth vanished, and all of the myriad shared the fate of the three or the fourth. The fifth alone prevailed, and the fifth was Alatus. \"'The Yakshas' faithfully protected Rex Lapis and pacified all manner of catastrophes in the world. This continued for many years. But there came a day when the yakshas, despite their might, found that their deeds had taken their toll, and that the remnants of divine bitterness had begun to poison them. Some descended into a blind rage of a kind that cannot be put into words, or were driven by fear to equally indescribable madness. Some turned on and destroyed each other. Some were lost to delusions of the mind. After a thousand years' scourges, three of the five were slain, and one disappeared. Many other yakshas of unknown name also either died or fled. In the end, only one of the five, Alatus, survived.\" Alatus is the Golden-Winged King who is also the Conqueror of Demons. None knows whence he came, nor whither he went. Only at springtime, during the offering of lanterns at night, might the people see the glow at Guyun and declare: \"Behold, the Vigilant Yaksha ends the dominion of daemons!\" Or they might hear the sound of a flute amongst the marsh reeds, but find none who play the flute, and thus declare: \"Hark, the yaksha calls to summon his old friends to their homeland.\" \"Alatus is also known as the Golden-Winged King, or alternatively as the Conqueror of Demons. Nobody knows where he came from, and nobody knows where he went. In spring of each year, when the Lantern Rite festival arrives, Liyue people will gaze at the glow in the air above Guyun Stone Forest, and say: 'Behold, the Guardian Yaksha ends the dominion of demons.' Some hear a sound like a flute coming from Dihua Marsh, but when they enter the marsh there is no flutist to be found. They say: 'Hark, the yaksha calls to summon his old friends to their homeland.'\" Thus, divine endowment doth carry with it that ultimate and unbreakable trial: to lose kin, friend, or ally, to face the impossibility of redemption, to burn in everlasting anger and know no respite. To become the foe of an ancient evil was to abandon hope of both reward and resolution in his endeavors, and his torment was that of the preta, which is to be without satiety after ten thousand fates. \"For this reason, it is said that the wages of being blessed with supernatural power is a destiny of hardship and eventual destruction. For the yaksha lost all his friends, family, and those he fought alongside. He built up an incalculable karmic debt from the violent deeds his life necessitated, and the consequence was a heart filled with darkness and hatred from which there was no rest. There was no reward to be gained from making an enemy of his own bitterness and hatred from the old days, nor was there any escape from the unbearable suffering. The torment ate away at his heart like an insatiable wolf, and an infinite number of lifetimes could have done nothing to reduce it.\"" } ]

Here are the talents of Albedo in Genshin Impact!\n\n1. Favonius Bladework - Weiss (Albedo's Normal Attack) - Normal Attack Perform up to 5 rapid strikes. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.\n2. Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma (Albedo's Elemental Skill) - Albedo creates a Solar Isotoma using alchemy, which deals AoE Geo DMG on appearance. Solar Isotoma has the following properties: • When opponents within the Solar Isotoma field take DMG, the Solar Isotoma will generate Transient Blossoms which deal AoE Geo DMG. DMG dealt scales off Albedo's DEF. • Transient Blossoms can only be generated once every 2s. • When a character is located at the locus of the Solar Isotoma, the Solar Isotoma will accumulate Geo power to form a crystallized platform that lifts the character up to a certain height. Only one crystallized platform can exist at a time. • Solar Isotoma is considered a Geo construct. Only one Solar Isotoma created by Albedo himself can exist at a time. Hold to designate the location of the skill. This Geo bloom has an unusual property mirrored in the aim of alchemy. To rise from the earth, soar into the sky, and become the sun.\n3. Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide (Albedo's Elemental Burst) - Under Albedo's command, Geo crystals surge and burst forth, dealing AoE Geo DMG in front of him. If a Solar Isotoma created by Albedo himself is on the field, 7 Fatal Blossoms will be generated in the Solar Isotoma field, bursting violently into bloom and dealing AoE Geo DMG. Tectonic Tide DMG and Fatal Blossom DMG will not generate Transient Blossoms. Under the Kreideprinz's command, the tectonic tide of creation seethes into life.\n4. Calcite Might (Albedo's First Passive) - Transient Blossoms generated by Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma deal 25% more DMG to opponents whose HP is below 50%.\n5.

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Albedo's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Albedo in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - Alchemy is an ancient art, and many of its secrets have been lost to history. The few commonly known alchemy techniques of today are but enough to put some broken odds and ends together, saving you the money you would have otherwise spent on glue. \"Nay, alchemy is not so ignoble an art!\" Or so most alchemists would protest. But as far as the average citizen of Mondstadt was concerned, that was alchemy. At least until the day Albedo suddenly appeared and decided to stay in Mondstadt. This young man displayed the true prowess of alchemy to all, bringing with him a massive corpus of wisdom that even the Sumeru Academia did not possess. \"The universe is heaven reversed, and the earth is a dream lost to time. This is dust, the most basic form of complex life.\" As if to provide evidence for this claim, Albedo lifted the burnt ash of the flower that once grew atop a Dendro Slime's head. Seconds later, a Cecilia sprouted forth from the ash in his hand. \"And this... is new life.\"\n2. Character Story 1 - Albedo has a very important job within the Knights of Favonius but does not often appear in public. Still, he does not have the strange and eccentric temper that people tend to assume of academics. In fact, he is earnest in all his dealings. He is, however, of the persuasion that it requires more energy to maintain relationships established on excessive enthusiasm. As a result, Albedo's equivalent of friendship involves maintaining an appropriate degree of distance. On days when he shuts himself away in his laboratory to focus on his work, or heads out into the wild to gather materials, no one in Mondstadt will be able to find him. Yet Albedo's tendency to avoid social interactions does not make him a cold-hearted person. He delights in giving guidance to his assistants, Timaeus and Sucrose. He finds pleasure in giving his sketches to the citizens of Mondstadt. Yet he cannot help but feel sincere disappointment that Lisa, for all her great talents, has chosen to remain a mere Librarian.\n3. Character Story 2 - \"Albedo got into Mondstadt because of his master's recommendation letter.\" This statement is technically true. But Monstadt's gates are open to everyone, and he would have been quite welcome even without the recommendation letter. In fact, Albedo's life in Mondstadt may even have been more comfortable without it. This is because the recipient of the letter was the famed travel writer, Alice, an old friend of Albedo's master, Rhinedottir. After receiving the letter, Alice considered its requests. \"So, Rhine said that you'll need a laboratory... And not one of a size that a civilian could build, either. Hmm... I know!\" And just like that, she threw him into the Knights of Favonius. The work of the Knights was actually quite easy for Albedo, requiring only five percent of his energy. The rest of his energy could be spent on experiments, with the Knights' full range of apparatus at his disposal, he thought. And yet... Alice has a daughter, named Klee. Yes, \"that\" Klee. \"We'll be a family from now on, treat her like a real younger sister!\" From that day forth, cleaning up after Klee would come to take up most of Albedo's remaining energy...\n4. Character Story 3 - Albedo has no memory of any blood relations. From as far back as he can remember, he was already adventuring deep within domains with his master. Of course, Miss Alice, the Knights of Favonius, and that traveler who had a sense of the stellar depths about them... They are all important people. And yet his master is unquestionably the most special to him. For Albedo, she is his only kin. She was a cold and strict woman who raised him and taught him the secrets of alchemy. \"The universe is the sable essence of the true starry sky... Earth is the accumulated memory of time and being... Chalk: that is you. Soil is where alchemy derives its name, and is the basis of all life. And this...\" She demonstrated her technique before him as a huge life form burst from its culture tank in a shower of shattered fragments. \"...This is new birth.\"\n5. Character Story 4 - Albedo once led a simple and content existence. There was no need for him to contemplate anything. Life was uneventful, its meaning consisted of nothing more than accompanying his teacher, doing what she asked of him, and meeting her expectations. But one day, deep in the heart of a dungeon, master and apprentice discovered an artifact known as The Heart of Naberius. And with that, his master disappeared, leaving naught but a note, a recommendation letter, and a classical text behind. Upon the note was written: \"Albedo, go to Mondstadt. Find my old friend, Alice, and give her the recommendation letter. Then, complete your final assignment.\" The classical text was one of the last extant manuscripts of the Opus Magnum from his master's collection. If one were to push the definition a little, she had left him another gift — the title of Kreideprinz, and with it, a written acknowledgment that she had nothing further to teach him. In the past, Albedo's assignments had always been very difficult. He had always believed wholeheartedly that his master would make good on her threat to leave him, should he fail. But this assignment she had left to him was far too hard, far beyond the limit of his abilities. Did this mean, then, that he was fated to never complete it, and thus never see his master again? \"Your final assignment: show me the truth and the meaning of this world.\"\n6. Character Story 5 - The alchemy that Albedo commands is wholly different from any of the arts practiced in the Seven Nations of Teyvat. Its lineage can be traced back to the nation of Khaenri'ah. Khaenri'ah was an underground realm, with precious few natural fauna. As such, its alchemy focused more heavily on the creation of life. This art of creation was known as \"The Art of Khemia.\" Albedo had learned of this in his youth from reading his master's notes. The next stage after \"soil\" is \"chalk,\" which was also something his master had mentioned. \"Chalk is the spotless soil, and was used to make primordial man.\" Now, Albedo understands alchemy in far greater depth than he did in the beginning, and his knowledge on the subject is far more comprehensive. \"From soil was birthed chalk.\" The profundity of this statement is well understood by Albedo now. Such ineffable secrets are bound up with his fond memories of his master. She was not his birth mother, but there is no doubt that his life stems from her. \"I hope this isn't just wishful thinking, but... when parents speak to their children about 'the meaning of this world'... surely they just mean the pursuit of a happy life?\" From time to time, Albedo finds himself musing on this sentiment.\n7. Albedo's Artwork - Albedo's interest in drawing and painting began back in the days of traveling with his master. At first, he would simply illustrate his notes with basic sketches. But he soon noticed that the process of rendering things in great detail helped him to intimately understand their physical makeup, which was of great utility to his alchemical studies. Additionally, it also allowed him to enter into a pleasant state of clarity, in which he needed only to focus on observation and creating his artwork, and nothing else. Eventually, Albedo became a master artist without ever having received formal tuition. When strolling through Mondstadt, he enjoys sketching and painting all manner of living things, but particularly people in moments of joy. Sometimes, he even gifts his artwork to his unsuspecting models, believing that when a work of art captures a transient moment of enjoyment, it is something worth treasuring. Albedo continued to refine his skills in this manner, going from strength to strength — until one day, when he was taken aback by illustrations from Inazuma. How was it that drawings of such generality could possess such narrative power? Amazed, he decided to give it a go himself. ...Eventually, after collaborating with a certain novelist by the name of Xingqiu, \"A Legend of Sword\" was printed and published. Unfortunately, it received lukewarm reviews, being lambasted as \"a dictionary with divine illustrations.\"\n8. Vision - Gaining a Vision came as no great surprise to Albedo. When he received it, he gave it a single glance before continuing to engross himself in his work. He barely felt any wave of emotion at all, as if this was something to be taken for granted. As far as he is concerned, his Vision is merely a tool with which he can more conveniently conduct his research. What truly sparks joy within him is turning the unknown into the known. One day, he will understand all there is to know about this world — and Visions are no exception." } ]

Here are the talents of Alhaitham in Genshin Impact!\n\n1. Abductive Reasoning (Alhaitham's Normal Attack) - Normal Attack Performs up to 5 rapid strikes. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.\n2. Universality: An Elaboration (Alhaitham's Elemental Skill) - Rushes forward, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents when the rush ends, causing a Chisel-Light Mirror to form. Holding this skill will cause it to behave differently. Hold Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the direction of Alhaitham's rush attack. Chisel-Light Mirror When this skill is unleashed, Alhaitham will generate 1 Chisel-Light Mirror. If there are no Mirrors at this time, he will generate 1 additional Mirror. Chisel-Light Mirrors will have the following properties: • When he possesses Chisel-Light Mirrors, Alhaitham's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to Dendro DMG. This cannot be overridden. • When attacks of the aforementioned kind hit opponents, the Chisel-Light Mirrors will unleash a Projection Attack that deals AoE Dendro DMG based on the number of Mirrors on the field. • A total of 3 Chisel-Light Mirrors can exist at once. • The Chisel-Light Mirrors will disappear one after the other over time, and will all disappear when Alhaitham leaves the field. \"Truth inherently exists amidst uncertainty. Even the greatest of scholars are not immune to error.\"\n3. Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena (Alhaitham's Elemental Burst) - Creates a Particular Binding Field and deals multiple instances of AoE Dendro DMG. If Chisel-Light Mirrors exist when this ability is unleashed, all such Mirrors will be consumed and increase the number of DMG instances dealt. 2s after this ability is unleashed, if 0/1/2/3 Mirrors were consumed, Alhaitham will generate 3/2/1/0 new Mirrors in turn. \"If a researcher makes wisdom their goal, then they should be prepared to make an enemy of every word they read. Only then can they avoid bias.\"\n4. Four-Causal Correction (Alhaitham's First Passive) - When Alhaitham's Charged or Plunging Attacks hit opponents, they will generate 1 Chisel-Light Mirror. This effect can be triggered once every 12s.\n5. Mysterious Laid Bare (Alhaitham's Second Passive) - Each point of Alhaitham's Elemental Mastery will increase the DMG dealt by Projection Attacks and Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena by 0.1%. The DMG of both aforementioned abilities can be increased by a maximum of 100% this way.\n6. Law of Reductive Overdetermination (Alhaitham's Utility Passive) - When Alhaitham crafts Weapon Ascension Materials, he has a 10% chance to receive double the product." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Alhaitham's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Alhaitham in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - A capable person who keeps a low profile for too long is often perceived as someone with a mysterious identity and ulterior purposes. Alhaitham himself is a powerful rebuttal to all these cliché views: He is a brilliant man, but he is only an ordinary employee of the Akademiya, with a stable job and a cushy house in Sumeru, leading a carefree and comfortable life. Sometimes, people find it next to impossible to catch the current scribe in his office. Little do they know about the scribe, other than his name, \"Alhaitham,\" and that he is supposed to be present during work hours. The fact is, no one knows his whereabouts, and all they can do is leave documents and files on his desk. Alhaitham couldn't be more satisfied with how things are. The man might be at home or in the library, but he'll never appear where people wish him to be. Having an entirely unpredictable schedule affords undisturbed freedom.\n2. Character Story 1 - The title of a \"scribe\" may sound impressive to most Akademiya students, but this fancy name is just a product of the Akademiya's culture to use unnecessarily high-flown titles. In truth, the scribe does not have to be present at all major meetings, nor does he participate in core decision-making. The scribe is simply responsible for classifying and archiving important documents. However, in Sumeru, where books and manuscript documents were once managed as a resource, the scribe is one of the most \"in-the-know\" people in the entire Akademiya. One can say that this position is rather similar to that of the Grand Conservator — after all, the person who manages texts will have privileged access to profound wisdom. As the current scribe of the Sumeru Akademiya, Alhaitham acts in perfect compliance with his role: He does not attend any non-essential meetings, and when he is required to be present, he only records key points, jotting down other minute details based on his mood. If the meeting does not affect his personal interests or fails to pique his curiosity, he will not be bothered to give any comments. He does make comments, however, when someone has come up with something offensively foolish — and one should expect these comments to be more blunt than necessary. Such is Alhaitham's life philosophy: Whenever the need for his judgment arises, one must be ready to accept any means and privileges he might require to make that judgment. Fortunately for everyone, Alhaitham notes that he is too lazy to possess too many ambitions. All scholars seek knowledge and the truth. Some do so for fame, while others, for ambition. And some others enjoy conquering knowledge and the truth, transcending them, and savoring the sense of superiority in the process. Alhaitham isn't any one of them. He is only driven by what intrigues him. He believes that many scholars have already become lost in their pursuits, taking the truth as a tool or even a shortcut to self-realization. However, whether one seeks it or not, the truth is always there, hanging high above the sky like an illuminating star. It is not the end of a trip or the destination of a match. It is and shall remain constant, regardless of human existence. Also, human pursuits will not simply end after certain knowledge has been acquired — though people never doubt that they can claim the fruit with joy and are prepared to sacrifice everything for it, their desire for knowledge will keep them going. Those who fail to see through the truth set themselves on an endless path, while those with clear minds will say: The truth did not come into being to serve anyone, and whoever is unable to harness their desire for knowledge will be destroyed by it. Such is the rule of the Nation of Wisdom. Of course, if you want to blend in, you are welcome to fake such a posture.\n3. Character Story 2 - To the people of Sumeru, those who played a part in the operation to save Lesser Lord Kusanali are deemed to be heroes. However, a great many who make such compliments don't really know the full story. They simply repeat a fragment of a tale that they find inspiring. As one of the protagonists in their stories, Alhaitham has no opinion whatsoever about being a \"hero,\" nor does he believe that these stories are worth talking about. Meanwhile, Alhaitham has declined the Akademiya's offer to become the Grand Sage multiple times. But given the chaos in Sumeru, Alhaitham eventually agreed to serve as Acting Grand Sage temporarily. It already defied common logic for someone to refuse the titles of Sage and Grand Sage, and yet Alhaitham went further still, resigning and returning to his humble role as Scribe at the agreed-upon time instead of clinging to power. If he did manage to gain anything from it at all, it was the financial benefits: His salary stayed the same after his resignation, not to mention the several high-quality research projects that he was able to complete on his own. There is no doubt, then, that he will lead a well-off life. In addition, his interpersonal relationships have also improved, as he has more or less befriended the other participants in the archon-saving operation — they have gotten close to the point where Alhaitham might greet these people with a nod or two when he sees them. Sometimes, Lesser Lord Kusanali will also invite Alhaitham to the Sanctuary of Surasthana to discuss various matters. He has met many people there: the General Mahamatra Cyno, the mercenary Dehya, and Nilou, star of the Zubayr Theater. Nilou even once asked him: \"How did you manage to come up with such a bold plan? When I think back on it, we were all quite lucky to not get hurt...\" Nilou hesitated before she continued, and Alhaitham understood her confusion, for anyone would have wondered how he could have stayed unscathed despite the influence of the Divine Knowledge Capsule. But in Alhaitham's eyes, he was never in danger, for he had never used any capsules. As for how he had managed to do that, it was all thanks to his role as the scribe. As a scholar lucky enough to have read the Akasha's system manual, he had studied the headset and Canned Knowledge, such that he knew how to alter the status signal of the Akasha. He had even once thought of reversing the holographic shield of the Akasha Terminal and projecting it to the back of his head to offer protection from attacks on that front. It has been proven that a plan lays the foundation for everything, and that prior research lays the foundation for a plan. Alhaitham, who had no interest in boasting about how he remained unscathed, answered Nilou's question with another: \"As far as I know, Cyno and Dehya are also curious about this, yet you are the only one who has raised this question. Were they just too shy to ask me themselves?\"\n4. Character Story 3 - Alhaitham seldom discusses personalities or dispositions with others. He believes that the prevalent theories about them are wrong. Suppose someone insists that one's character has nothing to do with their abilities and opinions, the person with such a view will find themselves unable to judge any aspect of another person. A smart person will often hold different attitudes towards a foolish person and another smart person, and the foolish often think differently when facing success and failure. People's views on Alhaitham are proof of this point — given his superb talents and egocentric personality, no one wants to get too close to him, but still, they see him as an outstanding scholar. This is exactly the public image Alhaitham desires. Many scholars are rigid and inflexible, but Alhaitham is not one of them. As a matter of fact, his occasional sarcasm in part reflects his philosophy. Society (or the collective) relies on rules to regulate individuals, and language is one of these regulative tools. Turning language against its original design serves to challenge unreasonable rules, and one can thus stay out of trouble. The word \"talented\" is abused within the Akademiya, and so are \"born differently,\" \"touched by the archon,\" and such... In Sumeru, one's talents are a trial. Outstanding talent is not necessarily seen as a perfect gift, but it also divides people. For instance, to compliment someone with unimaginable achievements, ordinary folk often call them a \"genius,\" or \"superhuman,\" or a \"prodigy\"... But upon reflection, one will soon notice another layer of meaning that even the speakers themselves have not realized: That the talented and the ordinary are categorically different. If someone is capable of things that others aren't, they must have been endowed with some special abilities and gifts. Excessive compliments for and wild imagination regarding outstanding people only serve to alienate them. \"They are successful because they are different\" — such is the typical excuse favored by underachievers. These ignorant notions mean nothing to Alhaitham. Though he does know his way around people, he will not waste his time on such trivial matters. Rules define borders and set limits. Yet these rules should not be judged solely on the number of people they limit. Therefore, Alhaitham has come up with his own set of rules with which he perceives everything and challenges the world. It is the crystallization of his philosophy. To maintain these rules of his own fashioning, Alhaitham acts on his own will and deals with anything that appears harmful in his eyes. Only with objective judgment can one see the truth. By acknowledging the differences between individuals and recognizing differing levels of capabilities and mental capacities, one will discover the answer right away: Judgment from others is inconsequential, but to leave the right of judgment in others' hands is equal to denying oneself. To be \"different\" should not simply be a label given to you by others. Rather, the talented should have long understood that their uniqueness is also a gift. To put it another way, when a talented person truly understands that they are different and that they are indisputably ingenious, only then can they truly understand the value of their abilities. And as for cowards who remain blinded by perspectives advocated by the great majority, they have not yet found their true selves.\n5. Character Story 4 - To live a peaceful and comfortable life, one must meet a few requirements first: Congruous personality and logic, adequate fighting prowess, a slow-paced job, and a cushy house in the vicinity of one's office. Alhaitham has checked all the boxes above. He would never deny that no place suits him better than the Nation of Wisdom, where social capital is linked to one's academic abilities. His current house, which is located near the Akademiya, is one of the academic resources that he gained through promising research projects. This house's story dates back to Alhaitham's student years. If his classmates still remember him, they will recall that he was not one to mingle with the crowd. As a result, he has only participated in one joint research project. Despite its eventual success, the project resulted in a huge quarrel and a parting of ways. Little do people know about Alhaitham's part in this story, though they might be acquainted with the other protagonist: The Kshahrewar architect Kaveh. This academic incident is not very widely-known — and in truth, the tale of two geniuses falling out due to differing perspectives is an all-too-familiar one in the Akademiya. But even though their collaboration did fall through, neither of them will deny the other party's exceptional brilliance. As for their research, the Akademiya would later transfer the relevant assets to the researchers involved as per regulation. Although the two did not continue that research, its great success in the early stage still serves as compelling proof of Alhaitham's academic ability. Later, the Akademiya even used this project, which they had forgotten to cancel, as a reference for allocating housing resources, and as such, Alhaitham was given a very decent house befitting his participation in this ingenious project. But the other contributor, Kaveh, had never approached Alhaitham regarding that allocation. It wasn't until later that Kaveh had someone inform Alhaitham and the Akademiya that he was not in want of a house and thus had no use of this property. When next they met, Kaveh had gone bankrupt. According to Alhaitham, this former friend of his possesses a personality and values that are not congruous with his abilities. The two differ on too many things and cannot reach a consensus even today. Allowing Kaveh to stay in this house provides Alhaitham with an interesting research topic: Legally and socially speaking, since Kaveh has previously forfeited the right to his half of this house, he should pay the landlord during his stay. However, paying rent would, to some extent, deny his contribution to the research, which contradicts the academic spirit. An intriguing matter to consider, but Alhaitham has no interest in the answer. Thus, he has taken his broke former colleague in, collects rent as the rightful landlord, and gives his colleague some household chores. He is well aware of the dissatisfaction Kaveh might have, but it matters not to him. As far as Alhaitham is concerned, Kaveh is a familiar face, similarly lacks familial attachments, and is the polar opposite of himself as a scholar — that is to say, an excellent mirror. Human vision is limited, but it can be perfected through the presence of another genius. Taking this opportunity, Alhaitham will be able to observe other aspects of this world and thus understand more things that may have otherwise been unfathomable.\n6. Character Story 5 - The Nation of Wisdom places academics and knowledge above everything else. As such, a scholar acknowledged by others within the Akademiya usually possesses a higher social status. Alhaitham was born to just such a family of well-received scholars. His parents died very early in an accident, and he was raised by his grandmother, a Kshahrewar scholar. Alhaitham doesn't have many recollections of his parents. He learned from his grandmother that they were both employed by the Akademiya, with his father being a mentor in Haravatat and his mother, a renowned scholar in Vahumana. Alhaitham has inherited his parents' intelligence, and he was always the sharp kid amongst his peers, so much so that he started reading abstruse academic journals at around the age of seven. Having noticed his exceptional talents, Alhaitham's grandmother suggested that he attend school early. However, it only took half a day in the Akademiya for little Alhaitham to report this back to his grandmother: Everyone he met there was boring and he preferred reading alone to listening to their meaningless courses. Alhaitham's grandmother saw his parents' talents and personalities in him, and agreed to let him stay home to be self-taught. To Alhaitham, \"to be self-taught\" means to read, break down, reorganize, and question. Due to his family background, he was lucky to be exposed to books made of paper. Interestingly enough, he takes more pleasure in reading his grandmother's hard-copy collections than obtaining knowledge from the Akasha directly. As opposed to the Akasha, books are inflexible and rigid, and there is no guarantee that their contents are error-free either. To use such a medium of knowledge is to dance with potential misinformation. The majority of people in Sumeru hate this, but Alhaitham derives great enjoyment from it. It was from reading that he acquired the ability to learn, analyze, and even rectify, and ultimately, he has learned to question. If the rustic and primitive method known as reading is ever any trouble, it is trouble that Alhaitham appreciates. Alhaitham's grandmother told him: \"You and your father both like reading. Now, I can't say if the two of you have been given too much share of wisdom or not, but always remember that being different is a gift.\" Knowledge is to be recognized, pursued, and trusted, but one should never forget to question it. Perhaps only those who come to such an understanding will not be easily moved by Canned Knowledge and other convenient knowledge media. And only someone who had already met these prerequisites would have casually read the Akasha manual sealed deep within the House of Daena. As Alhaitham's grandmother had said, books contain useless information, and sometimes in large amounts, but his sharp mind will sift through them — and if a book he has read lingers in his memory, it will come in handy one day. After his grandmother's passing, Alhaitham managed her funeral on his own, inheriting her properties and her small library. Before she passed away, Alhaitham's grandmother gave him this earnest blessing: \"You are such a smart child. Many such people have large egos and a propensity to act on their own. You are outstanding and possess a broader horizon than ordinary people. This is not a bad thing, but you must take care to have a clearer mind than others. You must understand that vain pursuits are but dust, and that you must discern your path with the greatest of wisdom.\" Later, Alhaitham applied for the Akademiya and was immediately admitted, scoring high marks in the Haravatat entrance exam. He was informed that his grandmother had also applied for him to be able to attend classes in other Darshans. Following his late grandmother's advice, Alhaitham has always kept a low profile and a clear mind, and always makes decisions for himself. Years later, when Alhaitham moved into his new house, he brought all those books over. While sorting through them, he flipped through a few that he had read long ago. The journals that had well-wishes written on their title pages were from his mother's collection, and the ones with reference materials inserted between pages and notes on the margins had once belonged to his father. On top of them, there was a thick book with an exquisite, emerald-colored cover. On the title page, his grandmother had written thus: May my child Alhaitham lead a peaceful life.\n7. The Doer's Belt Pouch - A sturdy and durable green belt pouch. People often mistake it for a wide belt, an impression perhaps reinforced by its color being in perfect harmony with Alhaitham's outfit. There are only a few things in this pouch: Keys, some recent read of Alhaitham's, and a portable music player that goes with his headphones. Alhaitham personally made the music player when he first became the scribe, and it is connected to the headphones via cables of the same color. He sometimes uses the gadget to play music, and other times, to block noise.\n8. Vision - \"The value of language is not limited to words. A unified language helps to govern thoughts. Language is the bottom line, rules, weapons, and violence. By making our language unique, we can open up a special path to the relative completion of minds. Governing thoughts may appear meaningless to some, but to others, it has a very significant meaning. Individuals' pursuit of uniqueness gives rise to various languages and media. People are controlled by language under many circumstances.\" As Alhaitham flipped through these pages, reaching the end of the book and its back cover, he realized that an intricate ornament had been underneath the tome this whole time. Of course, he knew what it was — a Vision, the proof of one's power. However, this item did not mean much to him. A believer might have perceived this divine item to be a thing most lofty, but to him, it was no more than a useful tool. Alhaitham was out on a research trip when he was given the Vision. He didn't plan to dwell too much on it. It belonged to him, after all, so what difference would it make if he checked on it tomorrow, as opposed to today? And just like the knowledge he has acquired, what he has obtained shall always remain in his possession." } ]

Here are the talents of Aloy in Genshin Impact!\n\n1. Rapid Fire (Aloy's Normal Attack) - Normal Attack Perform up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow. Charged Attack Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, biting frost will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged frost arrow will deal Cryo DMG. Plunging Attack Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.\n2. Frozen Wilds (Aloy's Elemental Skill) - Aloy throws a Freeze Bomb in the targeted direction that explodes on impact, dealing Cryo DMG. After it explodes, the Freeze Bomb will split up into many Chillwater Bomblets that explode on contact with opponents or after a short delay, dealing Cryo DMG. When a Freeze Bomb or Chillwater Bomblet hits an opponent, the opponent's ATK is decreased and Aloy receives 1 Coil stack. Aloy can gain up to 1 Coil stack every 0.1s. Coil • Each stack increases Aloy's Normal Attack DMG. • When Aloy has 4 Coil stacks, all stacks of Coil are cleared. She then enters the Rushing Ice state, which further increases the DMG dealt by her Normal Attacks and converts her Normal Attack DMG to Cryo DMG. While in the Rushing Ice state, Aloy cannot obtain new Coil stacks. Coil effects will be cleared 30s after Aloy leaves the field. You think that's cold? Guess you've never been to The Cut.\n3. Prophecies of Dawn (Aloy's Elemental Burst) - Aloy throws a Power Cell filled with Cryo in the targeted direction, then detonates it with an arrow, dealing AoE Cryo DMG. Whether \"Zero Dawn\" referred to hope or extinction no longer matters. Aloy has already saved her world, and the fate of this one is still being forged by its own heroes.\n4. Combat Override (Aloy's First Passive) - When Aloy receives the Coil effect from Frozen Wilds, her ATK is increased by 16%, while nearby party members' ATK is increased by 8%. This effect lasts 10s.\n5. Strong Strike (Aloy's Second Passive) - When Aloy is in the Rushing Ice state conferred by Frozen Wilds, her Cryo DMG Bonus increases by 3.5% every 1s. A maximum Cryo DMG Bonus increase of 35% can be gained in this way.\n6. Easy Does It (Aloy's Utility Passive) - When Aloy is in the party, animals who produce Fowl, Raw Meat, or Chilled Meat will not be startled when party members approach them." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Aloy's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Aloy in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - Outcast, hunter of machines, Seeker, Anointed, Savior... Aloy had many identities in her original world, and she was destined on account of her genetics to be the heroine who would heal it. Now, she has arrived in a new world, full of never-before-seen challenges, and once again, she throws herself gladly into the hunt.\n2. Character Story 1 - Aloy was born an outcast, deeply rejected and feared by her tribe. She was raised in the rugged mountains near their tribal dwellings by the experienced Hunter, Rost. He taught her how to hunt: to have cat-like form and deadly accuracy. And yet, he could not pass the most important thing onto her — the truth of her birth. Who were her parents? Why had she been cast out? Unfortunately, the reasons for this were known only to the very High Matriarchs of the tribe who had exiled her.\n3. Character Story 2 - There was only one way to discover the identity of Aloy's parents — victory at the Proving, the tribe's annual hunting contest, in which the victor would be free to ask for a reward. She would train hard all her life for that event, but when the moment of trial came, the ritual would end in tragedy. Mysterious assassins slew the participating Hunters, and it was only through Rost's sacrifice that Aloy was able to escape. Later, Aloy would learn that she was the true target of the attack, for she had almost exactly the same face as an enigmatic, ancient woman.\n4. Character Story 3 - Aloy knew that she had to find these killers to understand her origins. Her pursuit brought her into a wild and dangerous world far beyond her imagination, bringing strange and powerful tribes, mysterious ancient ruins, and terrifying enemies — whether human or machine — before her. In the end, the true enemy, HADES, appeared before her. It was an artificial intelligence filled with malice, bent on cleansing the world of all life. There was only one way to defeat HADES: investigate her link with that ancient woman, that \"Aloy from the past\"... Or could she have been her mother?\n5. Character Story 4 - Hot on HADES' trail, Aloy traversed a great many ruins from the distant past, and ultimately discovered her origin: she was not born of human flesh and blood but was the result of cloning. The genetics of the woman who had saved all life 1,000 years ago had been the basis for her creation. This had not only granted her the abilities she had possessed since birth, but had also guided her destiny, for this genetic material was the key to preventing the second coming of the apocalypse. Armed with this knowledge, and with the help of allies from many tribes, Aloy was finally able to defeat HADES and its human and machine minions in a decisive battle in the shining city of Meridian.\n6. Character Story 5 - After defeating HADES, Aloy embarked on a new journey, pursuing ancient technologies and cleansing the land that HADES had trampled underfoot. In her long journey, she found every Old World Ruin that there was to be found in search of the Old Ones' lost secrets. In one ancient, dilapidated laboratory, she found something she had never seen before — a gleaming portal. As she drew close, she was enveloped by powerful energies, and she saw her own image within the portal as one looking into a mirror, feeling as if she were in two places at once. With a flash of light, the \"world\" that Aloy knew completely disappeared from her sight, and she now found herself in a strange, beautiful new world just waiting to be explored." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Amber's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Amber in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - Amber is an Outrider of the Knights of Favonius. In an age where Outriders are becoming obsolete, she continues on with her responsibilities. It takes a newcomer only a few days to feel right at home with this passionate girl. Whether it's before the Good Hunter's signboard, the banks of Cider Lake, or the tree tops at Windrise, one can find traces of this vigilant Outrider in red anywhere. Once spotted by her, no suspicious individual can ever escape her interrogation.\n2. Character Story 1 - From a young age, Amber has always had boundless energy and a positive outlook on life. Each day, she burns with a fiery enthusiasm that sees her go about her life like a whirlwind, smashing through any obstacle that stands in her way. At times, however, her excessive energy can make her quite the troublemaker. Needless to say, she was quite a handful when she was young. Her infamous deeds include accidentally dropping a bird's nest on her grandpa's head while trying to steal the eggs from it and setting a Dendro Slime's leaves on fire, causing it to scurry about like a wild animal. These minor offenses gained her some notoriety among hunters' camps. Somehow, Amber was always able to escape the scene of the crime whenever she caused an incident, and not even a veteran outrider could catch up with her. Invariably, it was Amber's grandpa who ended up on damage control duty each time his granddaughter's misbehavior caused yet another incident. To Amber, her grandpa's silent, unconditional love was like a warm breeze that wrapped around her like a blanket. She knew that it was because of this love that he accepted her and took responsibility for her deeds, and she embraced it silently. But it was only on the day that her grandpa resigned from the Knights of Favonius that she finally understood the full extent of the responsibility he had borne all those years.\n3. Character Story 2 - Amber's grandpa was once the leader of a mercenary group. He came from Liyue Harbor and was tasked with protecting merchant caravans as they traversed Teyvat. One day, on a routine escort job, the caravan fell prey to a savage monster attack; he was the only survivor, saved by a doctor from the Knights of Favonius. Too ashamed to return home and anxious to repay the debt, Amber's grandpa joined the Knights of Favonius. Before long, he single-handedly founded the Outriders, trained each one of them personally, and began leading them on missions. It also wasn't long before he found love in the foreign land of Mondstadt and founded a family. Years later, Amber was born into that family. During the day, she would crouch by the window and secretly watch him training the outriders; at night, she would sneak into the yard and practice the moves he had taught that day. Amber's grandpa was touched by her enthusiasm, and decided to teach her everything he knew. \"When Mondstadt accepted me, it became my homeland. Then, I decided to watch over this new home of mine. Maybe one day, you will inherit this responsibility... Hah, but then, who knows what the future holds?\" As the coarse skin of her grandpa's palm rubbed against her head, a bewildered but earnest Amber nodded energetically in response.\n4. Character Story 3 - Something happened one day four years ago that profoundly changed Amber. That day, her grandpa left his coat of arms and sword in his office and simply disappeared, leaving no note and telling no one he was leaving. He had been the beating heart and the backbone of the Outrider division, and without his leadership they rapidly became undisciplined and lost their edge. A few failed operations later, the Outrider division was facing obsoletion. In the end, it was preserved as a part of the Knights' organization, but in name only. Experienced members either transferred to another detachment or resigned, and so few outriders stayed that they simply did not have enough people to fulfill their daily patrol duties. On top of this, rumors that Amber's grandpa had defected made recovery even more difficult for the struggling Outrider division. Amber personally experienced this entire episode, having just been admitted to the Outriders before it all began. With the decline of her squad, she experienced true loss and disappointment for the first time in her life. No longer her carefree former self, she was filled with a new determination: She was going to grow up and become a true outrider as quickly as possible, no matter what it took. She had never made an actual plan before, and lacked the maturity to know where to start. But what she did have was confidence and courage — and lots of it. She wanted to show she had inherited her grandpa's determination, and she wanted to find out where he had gone. But more importantly, she wanted to inherit her grandpa's former role and become a loyal protector of her homeland.\n5. Character Story 4 - Life in the Knights of Favonius was not easy for Amber in the beginning. Being as young as she was and having just lived through the trauma of losing her grandpa, the senior knights made a point of taking special care of her. However, for a girl as desperate to excel as she was, being taken care of by others implied that she wasn't yet mature enough to stand on her own two feet. Accordingly, she voraciously sought out extra responsibilities and made this as visible as possible to her seniors. Finally, during an intense engagement with some monsters, the seniors noticed her bravery and resourcefulness in the heat of battle. That was the moment when they realized that their little girl was growing up. As she matured, she also became more at ease with herself. Whatever feedback she met with, be it praise, rebuke, silence, or taunting, her response was always the same. \"For sure, I may still have a way to go before I catch up with my seniors. But one day, I'm gonna be the best Outrider ever!\" Amber is not prone to too much deliberation, preferring instead to speak her mind, truthfully and frankly, at every occasion. She firmly believes that she will not disappoint her grandpa.\n6. Character Story 5 - Today, Amber is still the firecracker she always was, burning with endless passion and energy. Now that she's all grown up, Amber holds firm to her grandpa's teachings as she spreads her Wind Glider's wings and watches over the City of Freedom with the eye of an eagle and the cautious cunning of a bunny rabbit. The \"Crimson Knight\" is known throughout Mondstadt. The people are delighted to see the mischievous little girl they remember growing up to be a guardian they can rely on. \"Never fear, Outrider Amber is here!\" Her self-confidence is simply unshakable: \"I am Outrider Amber, the one and only outrider — which makes me the best one out there!\"\n7. Amber's Journal - Amber doesn't make writing a daily diary a habit, only electing to write special or memorable events down in her journal. \"I finally caught that magical bird! It's called a Rami... something. I don't remember. But I've been chasing it for three days, and I've only been able to sit down for a proper meal today. That magical bird was a really cunning one, burrowing in the thick forest like that. Good thing I didn't give up! Best of all, Master Jean gave me special permission to pluck a feather plume from it as my reward. Hehe, I'll wear it at my side every single day!\" \"I'm sure I followed the cookbook to the letter and grilled the meat for six minutes. But while the outside is charred, the inside isn't cooked yet... Did I not control the heat properly? But I really am hungry, so I'll just have to try again tomorrow. One day, I'll make the best steak, and I'll call it... the Outrider's Champion Steak!\" \"I met a strange outlander today. I was suspicious at first, but as it turns out, this outlander is both reliable and capable. Ugh, come to think of it, what would I do if an enemy that strong showed up? ...I musn't fall behind. I must train harder!\"\n8. Vision - Amber once believed that if she took on her grandpa's post, she would understand why he left Mondstadt. However, even when she officially became an Outrider, she was no closer to unraveling the mystery behind his wordless departure. Her grandpa had left nothing for her to find either, indicating that she would have to forge her own path. Amber floundered for a while, until she flipped through an old book of fables that she would eventually come to treasure. \"What you lacked was not wind, but courage. It is courage that has allowed you to become the first flying birds of this world.\" Amber realized that she shouldn't wait for directions from someone else, but that she should be like those courageous birds that spread their wings and flew into the blue skies. \"There must be something that only I can do. There must be.\" The moment she realized this, a Vision began to shine brightly at her hip." } ]

Talents

Here are the talents of Arataki Itto in Genshin Impact!\n\n1. Fight Club Legend (Arataki Itto's Normal Attack) - Normal Attack Perform up to 4 consecutive strikes. When the 2nd and 4th strikes hit opponents, Itto will gain 1 or 2 stacks of Superlative Superstrength, respectively. Max 5 stacks. Triggering this effect will refresh the current duration of any existing stacks. Additionally, Itto's Normal Attack combo does not immediately reset after sprinting or using his Elemental Skill, \"Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!\" Charged Attack When holding to perform a Charged Attack, Itto unleashes a series of Arataki Kesagiri slashes without consuming Stamina. Instead, each Arataki Kesagiri slash consumes 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. When the final stack is consumed, Itto delivers a powerful final slash. If no stacks of Superlative Superstrength are available, Itto will perform a single Saichimonji Slash. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.\n2. Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst! (Arataki Itto's Elemental Skill) - Hurls Ushi, the young akaushi bull and auxiliary member of the Arataki Gang, dealing Geo DMG to opponents on hit. When Ushi hits opponents, Arataki Itto gains 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. Ushi will remain on the field and provide support in the following ways: • Taunts surrounding opponents and draws their attacks. • Inherits HP based on a percentage of Arataki Itto's Max HP. • When Ushi takes DMG, Arataki Itto gains 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. Only 1 stack can be gained in this way every 2s. • Ushi will flee when its HP reaches 0 or its duration ends. It will grant Arataki Itto 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength when it leaves. Hold Adjust throwing angle. Ushi is considered a Geo construct. Arataki Itto can only deploy 1 Ushi on the field at any one time. The name of this technique is derived from Onibudou (a light novel series written by Junkichi). However, calling it \"Onisatsu Zetsugi\" probably constitutes copyright infringement — not to mention how Itto himself is an oni and all...\n3. Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil! (Arataki Itto's Elemental Burst) - Time to show 'em the might of the Arataki Gang! For a time, Itto lets out his inner Raging Oni King, wielding his Oni King's Kanabou in battle. This state has the following special properties: • Converts Itto's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks to Geo DMG. This cannot be overridden. • Increases Itto's Normal Attack SPD. Also increases his ATK based on his DEF. • On hit, the 1st and 3rd strikes of his attack combo will each grant Arataki Itto 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. • Decreases Itto's Elemental and Physical RES by 20%. The Raging Oni King state will be cleared when Itto leaves the field. This is the pinnacle technique of the ultimate fighting style (according to Itto). It would be pointless for Arataki Itto to reference any other fighting styles to improve his own, for he, and no other, is the strongest, most terrible oni in the land. Shouta thinks it looks really cool.\n4. Arataki Ichiban (Arataki Itto's First Passive) - When Arataki Itto uses consecutive Arataki Kesagiri, he obtains the following effects: • Each slash increases the ATK SPD of the next slash by 10%. Max ATK SPD increase is 30%. • Increases his resistance to interruption. These effects will be cleared once he stops performing consecutive slashes.\n5. Bloodline of the Crimson Oni (Arataki Itto's Second Passive) - Arataki Kesagiri DMG is increased by 35% of Arataki Itto's DEF.\n6. Woodchuck Chucked (Arataki Itto's Utility Passive) - When a party member uses attacks to obtain wood from a tree, they have a 25% chance to get an additional log of wood." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Arataki Itto's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Arataki Itto in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - While walking through Hanamizaka, it is hard not to notice a young man of the oni race named Arataki Itto. Never mind his horns or piercing voice sticking out like sore thumbs — the sight of him enthusiastically joining in to play childrens' games is enough to set him apart from the crowd. In any case, his obvious lack of things to do stands in stark contrast to Hanamizaka itself, where craftspeople gather in droves and busy themselves all day long. Itto claims to be the \"first and greatest head of the Arataki Gang,\" the responsibilities and duties of which he tried to explain to some Tenryou Commission officials when they came to him to investigate a rather harmless street brawl. Unfortunately, they interrupted him not two minutes into the explanation before marking him down as \"unemployed.\" That designation is not exactly accurate, of course: other than the Gang's activities, which the Shogunate does not acknowledge, Itto does also do some odd jobs to stay solvent, usually working one day before taking three days off. As such, a more accurate designation should have been \"three-quarters unemployed.\"\n2. Character Story 1 - Objectively speaking, Itto's reputation leaves much to be desired within Inazuma City. Even though he is not considered a villain, he is certainly no law-abiding citizen either. If one really had to assign some sort of hazard level to him, then perhaps the level of being used by parents to keep naughty children in line (\"If you don't behave, Arataki Itto will come and snatch your snacks away!\" for example) might suffice. That said, unlike threats of \"the Great Mujina Youkai grabbing you and taking you deep into the mountains,\" or \"being inlaid upon the Shogun's statue,\" the scenario threatened here can actually occur. Still, \"snatching\" is, again, not accurate, for the fate of these snacks is decided fair and square by ritual combat! In the eyes of many, winning snacks off kids in competitions is exceedingly shameless, but Itto believes that every battle must be taken seriously, whether one's foe is a 5-year old child or the Almighty Shogun herself. It is also due to this conviction that Itto can lose to a child without any reservations at all. And while the adults have much to say about his behavior, the children find Itto the big oni to be a rather good playmate. He is knowledgeable about all manner of street games and plays them all with great gusto. He also stands up for any who are being bullied. Lately, the children have been very into Onikabuto battles against Itto. The rules of this game are simple and the fighting is both fierce and very watchable. Most importantly of all, they actually have a pretty decent chance of winning this one, unlike with other games.\n3. Character Story 2 - For the longest time, the Tenryou Commission has regarded the Arataki Gang as a group of only occasional troublemakers who do not require that much attention. This group only has less than 10 regular members and there are many internal disagreements concerning the date of its founding. Akira believes that it all began when Itto saved him from a few two-bit ruffians. That day, Itto persisted even after having been knocked to the ground 7 times, ultimately causing the punks to back off in annoyance. Helping Akira up from the ground, Itto declared: \"Well, guess you're with the Arataki Gang now!\" Genta and Mamoru believe that the Gang was truly founded at the end of a certain year when they all squatted on the outskirts of Inazuma City and roasted Lavender Melons. That day, not one of them had a single Mora to their name, and they were all very hungry indeed. While gorging himself on a melon, Itto said with a sigh, \"We should roast Lavender Melons like this every year!\" That said, neither Genta nor Mamoru thinks that these experiences need much memorializing. For Kuki Shinobu, the Gang was officially formed the first time she had to drag Itto's sorry behind out of Shogunate gaol, for this was the first time any official records had ever made mention of the Arataki Gang. As for Itto, he believes that the Arataki Gang existed from the first moment those words entered his mind. Unfortunately, he no longer remembers when that was. And as for Granny Oni, who has taken care of Itto since he was young, she believes that the Gang was never formed. To her, these children are just \"Itto and his friends.\"\n4. Character Story 3 - The land of Inazuma has been home to the oni race since antiquity. They existed here alongside the lordly Hakushin kitsune bloodline and the tengu. Such youkai often have supernatural abilities that humans could only look upon in envy, but the oni lack many special traits in that regard. Other than the horns on their heads, they are mostly remembered for their explosive tempers and penchant for making trouble. As for their legendary fear of beans, it has a scientific basis. As it turns out, oni are allergic to beans. However, because the oni bloodline has thinned out greatly over time, most people display only very minor allergic reactions. Unfortunately for Itto, his allergies are pretty still pretty severe. Forget eating beans, so long as he makes skin contact with them, Itto will get itchy all over and even find it hard to breathe. This thus makes beans the only thing that the usually carefree Itto is particularly wary of in his daily life. For their part, the Arataki Gang members do not order any dishes made with beans, not even in private, as a mark of respect for him. Of all products made with beans, Itto fears Fried Tofu the most — indeed, even he says that the very sight of it leaves him feeling queasy for three days straight.\n5. Character Story 4 - And when one mentions Fried Tofu, a certain pyrrhic victory immediately comes to mind. The battle that caused that incident began as a rather pedestrian conflict: a fox-eared lady had happened to sit in the chair that Itto would customarily sit on while eating at his favorite food stand... and on his payday, no less. The two began a contest of words over whom the chair belonged to, culminating in a straight-up (unnecessary) battle. Itto, hungry from a hard day's work, chose an eating contest, while the fox-eared lady chose a theme of \"kitsune ramen.\" Itto was momentarily at a loss when he realized that said ramen contained Fried Tofu, but with the oni race's pride on the line, he soldiered on gamely en route to victory nonetheless. And as for that innocent chair, it was ultimately given to Itto as a trophy by the rather mortified owner of the food stand. Regarding the various contests he has been in, there are two that still weigh on Itto's mind quite heavily. One of them is the rematch that he demanded of Kujou Sara, who defeated him and took his Vision as part of her duties in the Tenryou Commission. To this day, the Kujou has not agreed to the street corner sumo match, something that frustrates Itto to no end. The other incident happened many years ago when Itto was young. Then, he had gotten into an argument with a young tengu, the result of which was a sumo match in the Byakko Plain. Unexpectedly, the ensuing furor sent them both rolling down a mountain. In the end, it was the tengu who carried Itto, who could not walk after spraining his ankle, all the way home. Of course, the match went unsettled. Just his luck, Itto often thinks, that both such incidents had to do with tengu! Also, how on earth were these tengu all so strong despite looking so skinny?\n6. Character Story 5 - Every oni child has probably heard the story of the Crimson Oni and the Blue Oni: The gentle, helpful Crimson Oni defeated the wicked Blue Oni, thus winning the respect of the humans. This was Itto's favorite story when he was young, and he was proud of his red oni horns and his Crimson Oni lineage. However, this simple pride was shaken by a certain incident. When incidents of robbery occurred in the village in which Itto lived, the Arataki family fell under suspicion on account of their oni heritage. Itto no longer remembers the details of that incident, but he remembers the wary, disgusted stares the villagers gave him and his parents as they left, and the parting words they said, which Itto has heard countless times since: \"Once an oni, always an oni.\" No matter the time period, all oni are the same as far as humans are concerned. In that case, would it not be better to become the Blue Oni, whom people feared? Surely that was preferable to being like his parents, who were driven out despite having done nothing wrong. After his parents died of illness, the young Itto was turned out onto the streets, where he would lay into anyone who spoke ill of the oni race. Well, Itto was mostly the one getting laid into. But he proved quite the pain in the neck, never giving up no matter how many times they knocked him down. Still, he was only a child and eventually collapsed on the street due to exhaustion and hunger after a terrible round of beatings at the hands of some ruffians who had banded together against him. At this moment of crisis, Itto was saved by an old human woman. \"Why did you save me? Can't you see that I'm an oni?\" \"You must be hungry. Come, I've made some porridge.\" \"I told you, I'm an oni! Can't you see them horns?\" \"Oh, I can see them. Do you want some of that porridge, by the way?\" \"Agh, you know what, you're not listening to me at all. Oh, alright... One bowl of porridge, please.\" \"Coming right up.\"\n7. The Great Singalong - As the year was drawing to a close, the Arataki Gang met to discuss how they might celebrate the turnover of the year. As opposed to more reputable organizations, the Arataki Gang did not have any fixed venues to hold their activities, which posed some... logistical issues. The Lavender Melon suggestion was quickly eliminated. While roasting melons itself was certainly not an issue, eating only that to celebrate the new year certainly was. An Onikabuto festival was considered, but the year's end was not mating season, and so the contestants would not be half as motivated as they usually were. Ultimately, lots were drawn, and the \"Great Singalong\" was selected. This activity was suggested by Itto himself, and it entailed everyone standing on a cliff and singing against the ocean wind to express their innermost feelings and well-wishes for the future. The various gang members actually rejected this in their hearts when they found out about it. After all, screaming into the wind was nowhere near as fun as eating melons. Kuki Shinobu even indicated that she would like to take leave to return home on that day. However, the event went through nonetheless. The yelling and hollering were indeed quite soothing for the soul — and as things unexpectedly turned out, Itto was quite the good singer as well.\n8. Vision - Itto's Vision was something he found under his hip after waking up one morning. By that point, he had already been in Hanamizaka for many a year, and his livelihood was at least somewhat stable. \"Well I never! Dad, Mom, Gramps, Granny, and Granny Oni, this... Now isn't this something?\" These were Itto's real thoughts as he first looked upon his Vision. That day, he would excitedly show his Vision to every person he met, even showing people where it had made an indentation on his back until everyone was thoroughly sick of hearing the story. A few days later, however, the story would change a little: \"Now as you know, I wasn't surprised at all when I first saw that Vision. I mean, you'd expect as much out of the first and greatest head of the Arataki Gang, after all!\" \"More importantly, a person's worth isn't something that can be determined by a mere Vision, oh no, sir!\" The keen-eyed, however, would notice that Itto had bought a very soft spectacle cloth. Also, a certain question showed up in the advice column of the \"That's Life\" magazine that went like this: \"Ms. Hina, how should I best take care of my Vision and make it shinier? And when I say 'shinier,' I mean shinier than everyone else's, of course!\" When gang members read this and excitedly showed the magazine to Itto, they were surprised to see the long-time fan of Ms. Hina just look at the mag casually before laying it aside." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Baizhu's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Baizhu in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - Baizhu, the owner of \"Bubu Pharmacy,\" is a master of the medicinal arts. He is benevolent and kind, yet also shrouded in mystery and other contradictions. Despite having countless admiring physicians begging for his attention, he has insisted on choosing a zombie who can barely sort medicinal ingredients to be his apprentice. And though only a mortal, a talking snake with powerful spiritual energy is always wrapped around his shoulders.\\nMaladies major and minor may all be mitigated with his medicine, but the physician seems unable to cure himself. Such a person does not go unnoticed in Liyue, for the greater a person's capabilities, the greater the calamity they could cause should their heart harbor any evil intent. Yet both public observation and private investigation have not only found no trace of any hidden wickedness, but have seemed to confirm time and time again that his unimpeachable reputation as a benevolent doctor was, in fact, the unvarnished truth. As for all those inscrutable secrets, Baizhu simply smiles and laughs: \"Good medicine is so bitter, so it shouldn't be a problem to let a good doctor keep a few secrets, no?\"\n2. Character Story 1 - Though he was widely known by the moniker \"Mr. Bai,\" Baizhu's last name isn't \"Bai.\" The origins of this misnomer can be traced back to his apprentice at Bubu Pharmacy, Qiqi, and her sieve-like memory. When she first arrived at Bubu, her memory was even worse than it is now, and she would even forget to return to the Pharmacy at night after going out to gather herbs and ingredients during the day. Fortunately, Baizhu is always patient when dealing with patients, and doubly so when dealing with Qiqi. At first, he attempted to have her stay at the Pharmacy and rest, but Qiqi was always resolute and could not be dissuaded from harvesting materials, saying: \"My responsibility.\" Helpless to stop her, Baizhu would personally go out to find her each and every time, and remind her of the fact she lived with him at Bubu Pharmacy over and over and over and... With a memory like what Qiqi sported then, remembering anyone's full name was beyond the realm of possibility. So for a long time, the names \"Baizhu\" and \"Changsheng\" were simply replaced with \"that person\" and \"that snake.\" Ever one to prescribe just the right medicine for the disease, Baizhu prepared a notebook for Qiqi to write in and review whenever she had time. Finally, there came a morning when Qiqi saw Baizhu and did not cock her head and ask who he was, but said: \"Good, morning. Bai... Bai...\" Changsheng was ecstatic, and immediately extended her body outward, even more excited than Baizhu: \"Yes, yes, Bai-what now? And how about me? Don't forget about me—\" \"Mr. Bai.\" Qiqi answered earnestly. \"And, long... long, snake.\" \"—Outrageous! My name isn't 'long snake'—\" \"Remembering things is like curing an illness. One cannot be too greedy for progress, but be satisfied with gradual improvement.\" Baizhu smiled slightly and nodded, as though having accepted the name \"Mr. Bai.\" In the days that followed, the phrases \"Mr. Bai said\" and \"Mr. Bai won't allow it\" were never far from her lips, and the endless stream of customers asking after medicine soon brought the name \"Mr. Bai\" out of Bubu Pharmacy to every corner of Liyue Harbor. Qiqi's notebook has been filled to bursting and then some, and today she no longer needs to consult it before recalling Baizhu and Changsheng's names. But \"Mr. Bai\" had already found its home in the hearts of some, and it was too late to change it.\n3. Character Story 2 - Baizhu is not only a brilliant physician, but possesses considerable business acumen. This should not come as a surprise — it would be impossible to operate a such a large pharmacy on the strength of one's medical skills alone. The prices at Bubu Pharmacy are generally fair, and the pricing strategy for most products is one of high sales with low margins on each transaction. But there is some merchandise priced at a curious premium — such as the \"Everlasting Incense,\" which was 2,990,000 Mora even after a discount.\\nUsually, the customers for goods like these aren't picky about price, and only care about the quality and effectiveness. So why head to the market to haggle and search, when you can get everything you need at Bubu Pharmacy? Even if it's a bit more expensive, the peace of mind provided by Mr. Bai's reputation is worth it. Naturally, price is not Bubu Pharmacy's only competitive advantage. Many of the customers are businesspeople who have become \"partners,\" bringing Baizhu rare herbs from across the land and exporting the medicines he develops to every corner of the world. As the pockets of Bubu's business partners began to bulge, so too did the Pharmacy's ledgers. But the objectives of Baizhu's plans do not seem to revolve solely around Mora itself. If they did, why would Bubu Pharmacy take care of someone with no positive impact on income flow like Qiqi? It makes no sense from a business perspective. When encountering unusual or novel diseases, Baizhu often accepts only a token fee, saying \"It is difficult to assess a fee for such a rare ailment.\" As this practice has persisted, clients from far beyond Liyue have come to seek treatment at Bubu Pharmacy. Baizhu never refuses a patient, and is very willing to treat people from all walks of life, regardless of the disease that afflicts them. Thus has the good doctor cultivated a reputation as a selfless and benevolent healer who makes money elsewhere, presumably so that he can continue to perform acts of kindness far into the future. But only Baizhu himself understands the truth: Bubu Pharmacy never engages in unprofitable transactions. Some goals are impossible to even think about without massive financial backing and a reliable network supplying resources from across the world. Even with sufficient wealth, those goals would have little chance of success without the right opportunities and a bit of luck. As for the chance to research the secret arts of the adepti and strange diseases... these are opportunities no amount of Mora could ever buy.\n4. Character Story 3 - Baizhu habitually has a pot of water before boiling a pot of tea after waking up early in the morning. There is never a shortage of pastries at the Pharmacy, both sweet and salty, delivered from nearby shops and from around the neighborhood. This routine has never ceased, and is unchanged through all four seasons. The snacks are divided into three portions, two large and one small. The large plates are for Baizhu and Herbalist Gui, and the small plate is for Qiqi and Changsheng. Whichever of them so desires can take a bite, and this counts as having had breakfast with everyone. In addition, the doors of the Pharmacy are always lined with fresh supplies when it opens in the morning: vegetables, rice, fresh fish, melons and fruits... there is always an abundance of food at Bubu Pharmacy. Baizhu has repeatedly attempted to persuade the community not to give him such gifts, as he does not like to take things from others for free. But the public knows that Dr. Baizhu doesn't always charge for his consultations, and offers steep discounts upon already reduced prices to the people. The child of this family, the grandfather of that household... The number of people who have benefited from his care is beyond count. Of course, since cheaper healthcare means more Mora in the pocket, using the savings to give gifts by way of thanks is a perfectly sensible thing to do. Baizhu's attempts to dissuade his well-wishers were defeated by this logic, and his only remaining response was to ask Herbalist Gui to bring all the gifts from the door into the shop. After breakfast, the clinic opens for consultations. Baizhu remains in the shop to see patients, and Herbalist Gui delivers medicines wrapped and prepared the previous night to elderly patients who have difficulty walking. Each package comes with a detailed note explaining clearly both the frequency and quantity of medicine to be taken for the convenience of the patient. When patients begin arriving at the clinic, Changsheng takes leave of her perch on Baizhu's body and wanders about the clinic. If she catches Qiqi performing her calisthenics in the courtyard, she will wind about Qiqi's shoulders and help her keep time with a \"one two three one two three,\" and so on. If she runs into Herbalist Gui delivering medicine in the corridor, she will rest on his arm and ask after the latest neighborhood gossip. After the talking is done, the medicine weighted and packaged, and the tea has cooled, it is time for lunch. At this time, Baizhu is at leisure to personally prepare a nutritious meal and sweet soup that are both healthy and tasty for all who come to call. Afternoons in Liyue Harbor are a leisurely affair, with studying children, tottering old grandparents, Millelith carrying spears... An endless patter of footfalls. Changsheng and Qiqi lie by the pharmacy door, basking in the sun and watching the flow of people. They idly observe that the one on the left has let their hair grow too long and needs a haircut, while that one on the right has a rash on their face, and might be suffering from an internal imbalance. The sound of their chatter reaches Herbalist Gui's ears, and fearing disturbing others, he brings over a bench and moves Changsheng and Qiqi back inside the pharmacy. The commotion reaches Baizhu's clinic, and he listens to their exchange as he writes a prescription. Time is like boiling water in a copper kettle: at once both a turbulent tumult but also sitting quietly beside you.\\nAs night falls, Bubu Pharmacy closes for the day. Herbalist Gui sometimes stays for dinner, and sometimes goes home to eat with his family. Then only Baizhu, Qiqi, and Changsheng remain, and the two people and one snake may eat and drink to their hearts' content, returning to their rooms to rest by the light of the moon. One cannot call such a day anything out of the ordinary. It is simply a day at Bubu Pharmacy. Though, if Herbalist Gui suddenly had the thought to come back and take a peek before going to bed, more like than not he would happen upon Baizhu teaching Qiqi new exercises in the courtyard to keep her limber. One-two-three, one-two-three... Morning, noon, and night, spring, summer, and fall — oh, and also winter... Calisthenics and life both have their rhythm.\n5. Character Story 4 - The storyteller rapped the wooden table, opened his mouth, and began to tell a tale of ghosts and demons. Though the public loves to hear these stories, they get old after too many tellings, and so people asked, \"is there anything else? You've told the one about the jewel-seller and the one about the thief, what else is there?\" At that moment, Baizhu came down the stairs, and the audience saw him and thought to themselves: Dr. Baizhu has many stories, surely, but putting them into a book might be far too difficult. Other than discussing his exemplary behavior and medical ethics, if one wishes to say a few words about him over tea or after dinner, the most that can be talked about is the Doctor's private pursuit of the adeptal arts and the like, a matter that Baizhu has never intended to conceal. There are a multitude of visitors to Bubu Pharmacy, and those with sharp eyes cannot avoid noticing the books Baizhu reads in his spare time. In addition to medical treatises are ancient tomes which record the ways in which the adepti may be sought out. In addition, the medicine chests at Bubu Pharmacy contain a multitude of rare herbs and ingredients which are of no use in treating common illnesses, but are constantly used and replenished in an endless cycle. Though the average patient may not understand the arcane implications, those from families which practice alchemy or thaumaturgical arts can instantly recognize that all of these are ingredients used to refine various \"Elixirs of Immortality\" spoken of in legend. For most ordinary people, \"immortality\" is simply too strange a concept. But there are people whose curiosity will be aroused, and who will seek to know just how Baizhu wishes to attain immortality and how far along the road he has come... But this has proved akin to walking on a tightrope at night — it is difficult to take even a single step. Eventually, news of Baizhu's quest spread. Once the news was leaked, people formed an opinion. Some coveted his knowledge, some opposed this pursuit, and others didn't particularly care about his goal of immortality, but were concerned about the trouble his methods might cause. Baizhu himself was in his clinic, but his fingers were on the pulse of the street, and he had anticipated this would happen. In the vast land of Liyue, the concerns of the third group of people would be the most difficult to assuage. He had initially planned to quietly dispel any doubts, but the name \"Baizhu\" had already appeared on the Ministry of Civil Affairs' persons of special interest list. Fortunately, Baizhu always conducted himself impeccably in his daily life, and is amiable and willing to chat with his patients during their consultations. From these visits, he learned that the Ministry of Civil Affairs was keeping a close eye on him. He saw through their methods, and turned the ears and mouths of the people to his own ends, letting them spread the word on his behalf that his research and approach had no ill intent and would cause no trouble. Rumors spread more quickly than the most infectious pathogen, and soon the fact his quest was benign had spread to every corner. This push and pull between Baizhu and Ministry continued for some time, but eventually he was able to avoid unwanted attention and his name avoided appearing in the top secret intelligence reports of the owner of Yanshang Teahouse, Yelan. As for the aforementioned second group of people, their beliefs are already a known quantity, and set in stone. Many are the descendants of a clan that believes firmly in the principle that some things are divinely ordained, and that the impermanence of life and permanence of death are among those immutable truths. It must be pure coincidence that the representative of this second group lives but a street away at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. As the saying goes, neighbors are like relatives and friends, and Bubu Pharmacy and Wangsheng Funeral Parlor have had many interactions over the years, and both parties greet each other with a smile when their paths cross in the street. As for those questions of life and death, death and life, the opinion of the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Hu Tao is as follows: If the matter cannot be explained or settled in a couple words, it's better to have Baizhu over for dinner! And as for a sensible person like Baizhu? Of course one should attend the banquet! Season after season, year after year, without going into too much detail, the two households with very different views have spent many a day together, and could be considered close friends, albeit with each keeping their secrets. When two parties do not align closely, they merely speak of etiquette. But when they align, one may speak of duty. For Bubu Pharmacy is in the business of healing the sick, and in the course of business it is inevitable that there will be those beyond saving or at the end of their lives. Those with good fortune are cared for by their family, but those less lucky will breathe their last in Bubu Pharmacy. When this happens, Bubu Pharmacy and Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will jointly ensure their final rest is peaceful. The last rites and journey of the deceased is of great importance, and Director Hu Tao entrusts this to her most dependable consultant, Zhongli. For Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu cares greatly for those patients who pass away under his care, and personally sees to their arrangements. The two parties hold a ceremony in a secluded thatched cottage in the dead of night. Baizhu sends the deceased there, and the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant holds the ceremony and performs the final rites, carrying out each step in an orderly manner. Even if it is simply going through the motions, the departed may rest in peace. It is a pity that though the soul has passed on, no living soul will ever thank Bubu Pharmacy or Wangsheng Funeral Parlor on the deceased's behalf. But the heavens wheel ever onward, and so too does the cycle of life and death continue unceasingly. Doctor and Funeral Director and consultant are neighbors by coincidence, friends over the dinner table, but only truly meet heart-to-heart when conducting the solemn duty of seeing off the souls of the deceased. Once they walk out of that thatched cottage, they return to their former selves. As for the aforementioned first type of people, those who covet the secret of immortality, though they are many in number, their methods are crude, and they are easy to deal with. Bandits are common in the wilderness and in the mountains, and a few particularly stupid and shortsighted ones once ran into Baizhu alone on a mountain road. Baizhu was refining medicine, and the bandits, having heard rumors of Baizhu's quest, came to the conclusion that he had made something of value here in this remote location. They struck, expecting to plunder the secret medicine Baizhu had created. A few hours later, the Millelith arrived at the scene of the crime, having received a report. It was difficult to tell who was the real victim, with the ruffians laid out upon the ground and Baizhu standing beside them with a smile. \"The facts of the case come first, so forgive me for asking,\" the Millelith soldier began hesitantly, \"but did you really come to place this remote just to make cold medicine?\" \"If I was refining some special medicine...\" Baizhu laughed and shook his head. \"Would they ever have found me?\" These stories traveled round and round, eventually returning to the ears of the storyteller. He thought for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: \"Forget it. At the end of the day, Dr. Baizhu is just a doctor. What fascinating tales could there be?\"\n6. Character Story 5 - Every time the weather turns cold, the threshold of Bubu Pharmacy is crowded with patients seeking a consultation. But today, Baizhu's silhouette was nowhere to be seen. Only his assistant Herbalist Gui was at the counter, prescribing medicine and dispensing medicine. Those with recurring illnesses who visited frequently knew what this meant. It was \"one of those days\" again, and so they took the medicine carefully wrapped by Herbalist Gui. They offered their best wishes, such as \"Please tell Dr. Baizhu to care of himself,\" and shuffled out the door. At that moment, Qiqi came in from the doorway and bumped into an old man's calf. Holding her hat tight, she nodded and hurried to the back room with her stiff steps as quickly as she could. \"It's one of those days\" isn't a particular time or place, but rather is shorthand for an oft-used statement: The Doctor is ill, and cannot see patients today, so we are sorry you came all the way here for nothing, please come back some other time. It is hard for physicians to cure themselves, and this is true for Baizhu as well. Baizhu claims that it is simply a chill, but he knows that he has a weak constitution, and all of his internal organs are diseased. Though his life is not in imminent danger, nine out of ten doctors would be dumbstruck, only able to gape in wonder at the nature of this rare and incurable disease. Therefore, whenever his symptoms flare up, all Herbalist Gui and Qiqi can do is bring him hot water, cloth towels, and plates of fruit to show their concern. Baizhu does not wish others to worry on his behalf, and insists on being alone in his room with only Changsheng for company. With the curtains pulled over the tightly closed windows, the room was dark and gloomy. Baizhu lay down, tormented by the chills and following hot flashes, occasional breathing problems, and intermittent yet intense full-body pains that often came whenever his symptoms flared up. After a bout of agony, he joked to Changsheng, \"If I don't make it one of these days, it'll be a giant hassle, won't it?\" Changsheng slithered up the head of the bed and looked down at Baizhu's sweat-soaked visage with human-like pupils. \"Oh you, oh you, you may lie, but you may not die. Who is it that wishes to live forever? You are not yet old, and haven't yet experienced a full life.\" A man and a snake, the snake with human eyes and the man with snake eyes. A strange phenomenon indeed. Few know the truth behind such an enigmatic anomaly. In fact, the pupils in their eyes are proof of their greatest secret — the contract between them. The result of this contract is the Baizhu of today — practicing medicine to save lives and alleviate the pains and aches of humanity, but also embedding illness deep into his own bones, where they reside forever with no hope of relief. And in the land of Rex Lapis, God of Contracts, the law is supreme and contracts must be abided by. Liyue is an ancient country with a multitude of spiritual beings and magic, and the contents and types of contracts are equally varied. But Baizhu and Changsheng never discuss the contents of their own contract, and always share the same response: Contract? It's just an agreement, you could say it's just a secret technique with a couple of restrictions on how it can be passed down. Those too old or young, those who are insincere of heart, the inhuman, all of these cannot inherit this technique... What else is there? Oh, yes. \"Those not fated to cannot inherit it!\" Qiqi put down the tea tray and hot water, closing the door behind her as she left. Baizhu watched her leave before let out a long sigh, as though he had a thousand worries caught in his throat, but was unable to give voice to a single one. All he could do was shift the conversation to a distant rumor— In ancient times, there was once a Mt. Yaojun, and the master of the mountain and their tea-loving friend once made a pact to wait until the tea trees on the mountain had grown, then hold a tea banquet, inviting all the adepti to partake of their tea. What a beautiful thing that might have been! But alas, of the two Adepti who made the agreement, one sank into the water like the residual remnants of tea leaves, and the other lost all ten of their fingers for picking tea, and even their memories of the past faded and were forgotten. Changsheng hissed an impatient reply: \"What's so strange about that? The adepti are gone, but don't their tea trees remain? The tree and tea leaves will remember their ancient agreement in their stead. You should worry more about yourself, for if you and I leave, only Herbalist Gui, Qiqi, and the wood of the house and bricks on the floor will remember the two of us.\" The name of the contract with Changsheng is known as \"Way of the Dragon-Dragging Jade Snake.\" Only the name of contract is known, and not even Changsheng can explain the details, only that she learned it long ago. If you ask who she learned it from, she cannot recall even a bit of tangential information. Talking about the distant past with Changsheng is often like this. Baizhu is used to listening to her advice, though, and understands she has good intentions. Thus did he vomit up the blood stuck in his throat before sitting up straight against the head of the bed. Changsheng glanced over: \"What're you looking at me for? I don't have hands to support you with.\" Cradling the soup made for him by Herbalist Gui and Qiqi, Baizhu slowly drank it. He got through it one spoonful at a time, his eyes never leaving the soup for a moment, as though there was an entrancing scene of spring flowers and autumn leaves at the bottom of the bowl. The small things, one at a time. The basic essentials of daily life. Life is like soup, boiling and cooking.\n7. Bubu - In Liyue, a form of divination is often used to predict fortune and peril or ask the gods for guidance. The people of Liyue call their particular art \"Zhanbu.\" It is said that in ancient times, medicine and \"Zhanbu\" were tightly linked and often confused. With no scientific understanding of birth, old age, sickness, or death, the ancestors could do naught but pray to the gods for wellness and take medicinal herbs for comfort. Over time, countless generations experiencing sickness and recovering upon taking different herbs were able to distill their knowledge into a set of rules, making breakthroughs in their understanding of medicine. Thus was medicine born, with trained physicians curing the sick. After becoming an heir to this medical tradition, Baizhu brought Changsheng to Liyue Harbor to open a pharmacy and practice medicine in the bustling port city. At that time, the following story took place: According to the traditions of Liyue, new businesses must divine an auspicious time for their grand opening using the art of \"Zhanbu.\" By sticking to the preordained opening day, the business will prosper and enjoy fame and fortune. But Baizhu did not wait until the day of good fortune. One night, a mother brought her fever-stricken daughter to the door of the pharmacy, frantically pounding on the door. ... Early the next morning, the neighbors were shocked to discover that the pharmacy had opened several days early, with no fanfare or celebration. \"Aren't you afraid of going bankrupt and losing everything?\" Changsheng's voice was full of regret. \"All you did was treat an emergency case last night, why would you need to open up shop early?\" Baizhu replied as he wrote a prescription: \"Every day delayed is another day the patients must wait for their consultation. Besides, what pharmacy wants business to boom? We aren't hoping for more people to get sick, are we?\" \"That doesn't mean you should just throw open the doors without even thinking of a name for our shop! And what about a celebratory message for the grand opening?\" \"A name and a message... Then let us send the message that no matter the fortunes of this shop, or the diseases afflicting our patients...\" Baizhu picked up the prescription note and faced the rising sun framed through the door. \"...Or our fates, we don't need to ask the gods or use divination any longer.\" In the language of Liyue, \"Zhanbu\" is divination, but \"bu\" can also be the word for a refusal or negation. Thus, he chose a name that enshrined his beliefs. The rays of sunlight were shining through the door and the thin paper in his hand, with the words written by his hand clear and confident— \"Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu.\"\n8. Vision - When Baizhu was young, his hometown was struck by a horrific plague. Fortunately, his master was practicing medicine there, and was able to contain the spread. But no miracle could bring back the lives that had already been lost. Having lost both his parents, Baizhu began to follow in the footsteps of his master, learning the physician's art. The world is full of strange and complicated diseases, but Baizhu's master was always able to provide treatment. Studying with his master, Baizhu learned a simple truth: Disease is dangerous, but it can ultimately be overcome with human intellect. ...Until the day finally came that Baizhu's master was completely exhausted by the maladies brought on by a contract, and could hold on no longer. Though Baizhu had learned much in those years, he was still unable to do anything in the face of such a complicated and serious affliction. That most intractable disease in the world, the one with no cure or answer — death — had finally come for his master. Was there really no escape from sickness and death for mortals? The memories of his parents coughing blood from his youth had grown hazier over the years, but the scene of the cold tombstone of his master was crystal clear before his eyes. Standing before his master's grave, Changsheng's normally playful words were tinged with an imperceptible sense of melancholy. \"Who knows how many more people will take on this contract...\" Baizhu did not want to see yet another precious life slip away before his eyes. \"No. This contract will end with me.\" When he next opened his eyes, they shone with a golden light, as though they were unquenchable candles. The first thing reflected in his now vertical pupils was a Vision, appearing briefly like a firefly on his master's tombstone. The Vision was like the gaze of a god who had witness to everything, but it was also like those of his master, gentle and full of expectation." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Barbara's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Barbara in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - Barbara is the Deaconess of the Church of Favonius, as well as the shining idol of Mondstadt. \"The sight of Barbara makes all my problems disappear.\" This is quite a common saying among the citizens of Mondstadt. In fact, Barbara can do much more than just put people in a better mood: Her healing powers extend to flesh wounds and other physical ailments. Barbara is known to have access to miraculous healing powers through her Hydro Vision. However, Barbara herself knows that hard work is the most miraculous magic of all.\n2. Character Story 1 - Every citizen of Mondstadt adores Barbara. However, this has not always been the case. At first, Barbara's songs sounded strange to the citizens of Mondstadt, and many struggled to see the appeal. This was because for the longest time, the folk songs of bards were the only popular songs known in Mondstadt. Fortunately, Mondstadt stayed true to its reputation as the City of Freedom, and the people ultimately embraced the new while continuing to cherish the old. People accepted Barbara's songs, and over time her positive energy rubbed off on them. Soon, they could be heard humming her tunes all around Mondstadt. \"Albert, would you stop please! You're completely out of tune!\"\n3. Character Story 2 - Barbara's feelings on her own success are mixed. To the extent that an idol's duty is to make everyone adore her, she has done a fantastic job. There is no doubting that she has made the right choice. However, an idol is also expected to spread joy and relieve people's spiritual fatigue... Has she really accomplished that? She sang for blind Glory, encouraging her to believe that her lover would one day return. She sang, too, for sick Anna, promising her that her illness would one day be cured. Yet, the smiles on their faces never last long after the songs end. This has led Barbara to become somewhat disillusioned and doubtful.\n4. Character Story 3 - Barbara has always been a bright and optimistic girl since she was young. Though at times she can be a bit clumsy and mess things up, she always bounces right back and has another go. Barbara is the complete opposite of her sister, who is seen by all as the pride of her family. Unlike Barbara, her sister has always been the very definition of success in all aspects. Initially, all Barbara had ever wanted was to surpass her sister in at least one thing, even if only once. However, be it swordplay, her grades, or anything else, she was never able to compare. Even for someone as optimistic as her, she found herself to be upset and down. \"Hard work is the most miraculous magic. But when even that doesn't work... what then?\"\n5. Character Story 4 - Barbara has never once considered giving up. Her determination and resilience even surprised her father, Seamus Pegg, the Cardinal of Daybreak. Barbara only allows herself to be depressed for 30 seconds. After that, she forces herself to brighten up, no matter what. \"I'm not so good in combat, so I'll be sure to support those who are.\" Under her father's counsel, Barbara became a healer. She is as radiant as the sick and injured are pained. Her desire to be recognized gradually transformed into a simple desire to help others.\n6. Character Story 5 - \"Thank you\" are the two words that Barbara hears most often. When she feels lost, she will suddenly find that there is someone wanting to hold her hand. \"Thanks for being here with me. I feel so much better.\" To Barbara, the greatest reward is seeing the smiles on people's faces. Therefore, whenever she is massaging her swollen calves or drinking tea to care for her sore throat, Barbara recalls all those who have been kind to her. \"It's the encouragement I receive from others that keeps me going.\" Just maybe, the smiles she receives are proof that her songs really can heal people. Her ambition to surpass her sister and become the most popular person in all of Mondstadt hasn't been abandoned by Barbara, it is simply buried deep inside her heart. \"If only I excelled more, perhaps I could be of help to Jean.\" This is what she believes. \"Okay... Barbara, go!\"\n7. Alice's Idol Magazine - \"...Idol?\" The first time that Barbara heard this strange word, she was visibly confused. \"But... aren't The Seven the ones that people are supposed to worship?\" \"Yes, but not exclusively...\" replied Alice, an elder of the Hexenzirkel, as she groomed the young girl for stardom. \"Read this, it contains everything you will need to know.\" \"Idol Magazine\" was the name of the assigned reading material. Barbara had no idea what world this magazine had come from, but by reading it she found out that there was indeed such thing as an \"idol,\" and that it mainly involved working hard at getting everyone to like you. She also discovered that an outstanding idol is capable of not just bringing joy to themselves, but also bringing spiritual healing to others through the power of song and dance. Barbara set about learning one new song after another, dancing to the beat as she went. Finally, she found happiness, and she found it in the smiling faces of others. Some time later, when Alice anxiously relayed to Barbara that plans for \"Teyvat Idols!\" were falling through, Barbara was starting to make a name for herself through her performances in Mondstadt. \"Hmm... Well, if I'm the only one left... I guess you can leave it to me to define what it really means to be an idol!\" Driven by this ever so slightly selfish ambition to spread joy and healing to others, Barbara is slyly swotting up on new tunes behind the scenes to this very day.\n8. Vision - The story of how Barbara obtained her Vision is hardly the typical tale of high-stakes heroism. She had just joined the church and was looking after a little boy with a high and persisting fever. Nothing Barbara could think of would console the boy and bring an end to his relentless tears. Someone remarked that while the boy had already taken his medicine, there was no way to cure the pain of missing one's family. Another suggested that Barbara sing a song for the boy to raise his spirits. Barbara had never sung a song in her life up until this point, but how could she shy away from it in a moment like this? \"Never having sung before is no reason to abandon a child in their time of need,\" Barbara thought to herself. And so, Barbara took the boy in her arms and sang him a song: a lullaby, the only song she knew. It was an unceremonious beginning to her singing career. After quickly realizing that she barely knew any of the words, she had to resort to humming the tune instead. Nevertheless, her voice began to soothe the child, and so she kept singing. She sang the same song, over and over again, until her throat was dry and her voice was hoarse. Finally, the boy fell asleep. Exhausted, Barbara lay down by the wall and fell straight asleep herself. Early the next morning, Barbara awoke to discover that the boy's fever had come down. Perhaps it was because she had sung for him, or perhaps it had something to do with the Vision which had mysteriously appeared next to her hand at some point during the night. Barbara was not preoccupied with the Vision, however. It was the sight of the boy smiling once again that filled her heart with joy. Barbara received her Vision for the simple but beautiful wish that took hold in her heart that night: A dream of healing the sick through the power of song." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Beidou's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Beidou in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - Beidou is the leader of The Crux — an armed crew based in Liyue Harbor. An armed crew means exactly what it sounds like: a crew of sailors armed to the teeth. Without getting into too many details, everything The Crux does is approved by the Qixing... more or less. Beidou is a trusted leader, so much so that her crew believe her capable of taming the storms and billows on the sea. \"It's Beidou! Even the mightiest of storms must bow its head to her might!\"\n2. Character Story 1 - Beidou is something of a cultural icon in Liyue. Though her fame does not quite reach the same lofty heights as that of the Liyue Qixing, one can be certain that every merchant in the city knows her name — and that of her crew, The Crux. Naturally, there are rumors abound regarding someone of her status. People love to tell epic tales of her earth-shattering (or rather, sea-splitting) feats.; tales in which her abilities are exaggerated to almost superhuman levels. One rumor is that she can channel Electro energy with her sword. It is said that she once used it to cut a formidable sea monster from the depths of the ocean abyss in half with just one hit. Bystanders who overhear such tales generally dismiss them as drunken ramblings. But to any who have ever voyaged with Beidou themselves, these stories are no joke. In their view, if this world really were home to a giant sea monster from the ocean abyss... Beidou would certainly be capable of cutting it in half. In summary, Beidou's abilities are every bit as impressive as her reputation in business circles. So if you hear her lauded as the Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean — suffice to say that there is no smoke without fire.\n3. Character Story 2 - Business people tend to put profit before their humanity. This is just accepted as the way of the world; at most, it makes for some light verbal sparring at the dinner table. But things are different in Liyue, where everyone is involved in business. They reject the notion entirely, claiming that Liyue Harbor is a special place where humanity is sacred. Foreign merchants will retort that the only thing special about Liyue is that \"They've managed to commodify humanity, too!\" To this, Liyue locals respond, \"Then how do you explain The Crux?\" With The Crux having made a name for itself over many years, their services are extremely expensive to charter. And yet, on one voyage when The Crux encountered a strong storm, Beidou noticed a small private boat nearby. Seeing the way it was tossed about by the waves, she ordered her crew to tow the boat to safety — despite the risk that her ship's keel might give way. What little food and water the fleet had left, Beidou shared with the rescued crew as she navigated her vessel onward through the raging storm. Finally, after several days, The Crux delivered the rescued boat to a safe mooring spot. Grateful to Beidou for saving their lives, the crew of the rescued boat became her loyal trade partners thereafter. After Liyue locals recount this story, they smile and insist, \"When you have someone risking their life like that, you can be sure that it takes far more than commodification to explain their actions! Would you really dare to look Beidou in the eyes and talk about the commodification of humanity?\"\n4. Character Story 3 - Word has it that The Crux's boss behind the curtains is none other than the Qixing's Tianquan, Ningguang, herself. Both of the people involved deny this outright, though they do so for different reasons. As a member of the Qixing, Ningguang often needs someone else to do her dirty work for her. Of the many candidates available, she picked Beidou. Ningguang would emphasize that she picked Beidou, not The Crux; Ningguang's collaboration with The Crux is, therefore, purely incidental. Meanwhile, when Beidou hears the rumors about her dealings with Ningguang, she furiously insists that she collaborates with Ningguang on an equal footing: Beidou is her own boss and no one, not even Ningguang, is sitting in the background pulling the strings for her. Beidou is certainly unique among Ningguang's collaborators. She does not tread carefully or show reverence in the way that most of them do. In fact, one could even say Beidou is sometimes at odds with Ningguang. Ningguang's advisers worry constantly that Beidou is too unpredictable and too much of a maverick. But Ningguang simply smiles and dismisses their concerns. \"On the contrary, Beidou is the most reliable person in Liyue,\" she replies. \"Just tell her the truth, as well as what's in it for her, and she'll come around in her own time.\"\n5. Character Story 4 - Once, after disembarking from a long voyage, The Crux held its customary three-day celebratory banquet. It was a fall like any other before it — except for the new chef in town. This was Xiangling, the head chef-to-be of the Wanmin Restaurant. Looking to keep costs down, they lured Xiangling onboard after meeting her on the streets, by hook and by crook. When she saw Beidou, Xiangling was dismayed, and let Beidou know this in no uncertain terms: \"If you want to have Yue-style seafood, then I can't agree to help you. I'll have you know that I intend to transcend Liyue's two warring culinary styles with my cooking...\" Beidou merely smiled and gestured to the chest of gold coins beside her: \"Just do what you're good at. We made quite a bit on our last run. How does a retainer of fifty thousand Mora sound?\" Not one to shy away for a chance to prove the worth of her cooking, Xiangling took the job. When the day was done, Beidou was indeed won over by Xiangling's skill. She declared in front of her crew that Xiangling would soon be a renowned chef throughout Liyue. She also insisted that they refer to her as \"Madam Xiangling.\" Having only begun to make her name, Xiangling admired Beidou for her generosity with money and her direct personality. Thereafter, Xiangling would sail with Beidou often, looking for new and exotic seafood ingredients. She found herself surprised by Beidou's vast knowledge of seafood and their culinary preparation, given how far she usually was from any kitchen. Of course, that didn't mean Xiangling would necessarily heed Beidou's advice on whether something was edible or not...but that is a story for another time.\n6. Character Story 5 - Some say an object takes after its master. Though it may not be a suitable description, The Crux crew does indeed take after Beidou, exhibiting the same qualities. However, there are still secrets among the crew, spreading in places unnoticed by Beidou. Her First Mate always takes new sailors out after their first safe return for drinks and fills them in on the details of an old story: In the past, the crew went on a journey to brave the unknown seas and found itself at death's door in a horrific storm. At that time, Beidou stood on the deck behind the wheel, singing a Liyue fishermen's song in the storm. \"...all the way until the waves died down and dawn broke on the far horizon...\" The First Mate often ends the story with this final line and a look of longing on his face. As business grew and the crew expanded, more and more outrageously incredible details were added to the story, making the rookies worship Beidou like a goddess.\n7. Pier Laborers' Gossip - 1. Facing a three-headed hydra of unrivaled girth, Beidou hurled forth her greatsword. Spinning in the air, it sliced clean through all three of the hydra's vertebrae, before returning to her waiting hand. 2. Beidou has beaten Ningguang at chess. Twice. The important part is not so much that she did win Ningguang's money, but more that she dared to. 3. Since the day she slew the sea monster Haishan, Beidou has never sung a fishermen's shanty ever again. 4. Yes, Beidou knows shanties. But don't you dare ask her that to her face. I mean, you know how that hydra ended up, don't you...\n8. Vision - Liyue and Inazuma share a common saying: \"Its fins formed the ocean deep, its tail the mountains high.\" The fishermen learned this phrase while ashore long ago, and sang it over and over, spreading the tune far and wide till it became the much-loved song people know today. Whenever the mists gather over the sea's surface, one can hear the distant song of the fishermen hidden in the white shroud: \"its fins formed the oceans deep, its tail the mountains high...\" This was Beidou's childhood lullaby. The tale of Rex Lapis smiting the sea monsters had become legendary among the people of Liyue. As a child, Beidou loved tales like this, and in her dreams, she thought: One day, I want to see this big fish too. This day, however, she sang this song with a different emotion in her heart. Her entire crew sang along as they sailed. Haishan was in the waters with them — at once like a dragon and a fish, it was larger than any could have imagined in their worst nightmares, and mighty as a deity, raising waves dozens of meters high with ease. All who ply their trade on the high seas are destined to meet Haishan eventually. Beidou had longed to do so since she was nine, dreaming of slicing its head off in a single blow. Many times she had challenged the creature, and many times she had failed. But this day was different. This day she charged at Haishan with her best greatsword in hand, and crack sailors at her back. The battle would rage fiercely for four days. With cannons and harpoons, arrows and ropes the fleet would assail Haishan, while Beidou battled the thusly tied-down creature for ten hours, well into the night. Now, nighttime was when Haishan was in its element, and in their vigilance not a single member of the fleet dared sleep a wink. Beidou stood upon the prow, listening to the wind. One strike. Just one strike. That was all she needed. And so she waited, unmoving, in the freezing wind. Then, at the crack of dawn, having neither eaten nor drank throughout the night, Beidou heard a change in the sound of the waves. With one almighty strike that sounded as if it could have sliced the moon in two or ripped a mountain from the face of the world, she chopped the leviathan's head clean off! The sound of thunder filled the heavens, and a single bolt of purple lightning struck the ocean right in front of Beidou, even as she bathed in the blood of her nemesis. Thus descended a Vision to the slayer of the sea monster, its violet glow as stunning as lightning, and its immaculate, jeweled form a treasure more precious than dragon blood. A suitably divine gift for the hero who subdued Haishan." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Bennett's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Bennett in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - Benny's Adventure Team is an exception to the norm in the Adventurers' Guild, Mondstadt Branch. Initially, the team mechanism requiring at least 3 or 4 regulars in each team was set up to promote mutual support and prevent accidents. As for Benny's Adventure Team, however, its only regular member has been Bennett himself. The lack of team members essentially has everything to do with Bennett's infamous bad luck. However, being the passionate adventurer he is, Bennett never feels lonely. Well, maybe once or twice, sometimes...\n2. Character Story 1 - The adventurer Jack was the first victim of Benny's Adventure Team. Just a few feet away from the treasure, an extremely rare Geo Turbulence occurred, tearing the ground apart and opening a bottomless chasm right before everyone's eyes. \"So close, yet so far... like love.\" Jack only suffered minor injuries, but he was never the same as an adventurer thereafter; the event seemed to have left him with a broken heart. Another member, Royce, heard someone shout \"Heyo!\" before losing consciousness in a huge explosion. The culprit, Klee, was sent to the confinement room for seven days for mistaking the cave the adventurers were still exploring in for a giant rabbit hole and blowing it up. Heckler suffered from a severe bout of diarrhea for a week after joining the team. Although it turned out to be food poisoning, he insisted it was because of Bennett's bad luck. \"They'll be back! They're just... on leave. Please don't invalidate my team's registration with the Guild...\" Seeing Bennett beg and plead before her eyes, Katheryne sighed and decided to spare him the truth that his \"teammates\" had long jumped ship.\n3. Character Story 2 - There was once a predicament of incomparable despair. A predicament that had all but swallowed an old adventurer. The scorching flames scalded his skin, the deafening thunder almost ruptured his eardrums, and the hollering winds threatened to rip his soul from him. At the end of his hellish journey, what awaited him was... a baby. The old adventurer thought he was the first living thing to pass through this hell on earth. But how could he explain that which lay before him? In that moment, it hit him, and he believed it to be true. \"This baby must be... a child abandoned by the world itself.\" Though there were no mighty artifacts, jewelry, or gold, the old man's face did not seem disappointed in the slightest, for he regarded this baby, whose life hung by a mere thread, to be his treasure. \"This child is what I was meant to find on this journey,\" he thought as he took the baby into his arms. Even if what he was about to do opposed the will of the world itself, he was unafraid.\n4. Character Story 3 - The old adventurer died from severe injuries before being able to tell this story, leaving only the child he had saved. On his deathbed, he only managed four final words: \"will,\" \"adventure,\" and \"final treasure.\" Several single, childless, old adventurers in the Adventurers' Guild in Mondstadt raised the child as their own and named him Bennett. Being raised by the Guild, Bennett referred to everyone as \"Dad.\" \"Dad, your dentures fell into the bowl!\", \"Dad, you should stop wearing that old leather armor. Where are the undergarments I bought you?\", \"Dad, it's raining, better keep your distance from me so you don't get struck by lightning!\" Taking care of all his aging dads who have no family has taken up most of his time outside of adventuring. \"The dads certainly have found a treasure, haha!\" Cyrus, the current Guild Master, laughed, giving Bennett a pat on the back. Though he is unlucky himself, he can at least try to bring luck to those he cares about. At least, that's how Bennett feels. Bennett the Unlucky still strives to find his own lucky treasure through his series of unfortunate events.\n5. Character Story 4 - Oz the Raven, Fischl's familiar, said Bennett is \"the most tenacious young man in the world.\" Indeed, Bennett's share of bad luck throughout his life can be seen from his scars, old and new. Attacked by monsters, buried in collapsed ruins, falling from cliffs... A wealth of \"unfortunate events\" has taught Bennett how to deal with more of them in the future. Barbara, the Deaconess at the Church of Favonius, was once surprised by how skilled Bennett is at treating dislocated joints. Another gift from his ordeals is his jaw-dropping talent for combat. \"Look at his moves... Doesn't that hurt?\" Grand Master Varka of the Knights was extremely intrigued after seeing Bennett in combat. It's not that Bennett doesn't feel pain — he has simply gotten used to it. He adapted to the pain as others would to pungent smells or blinding light. Therefore, the way Bennett dives into battles head-on without reservation has become something of a signature of his.\n6. Character Story 5 - What does death mean, exactly? Always walking the thin line between life and death, Bennett can't help but wonder. Bennett knows that the old adventurer who saved him has left many praiseworthy stories and legends after his death. He knows that an adventurer will not have weeping at their funerals, only toasts made in their names by old comrades. He knows, to the adventurers of Mondstadt, a \"good death\" comes at the end of a life given to the pursuit of treasure and the secrets of the world. Once over, their souls are brought back to their homeland by Barbatos. He once feared death. However, after pondering on this matter some more, he now feels death may be something fortunate for an adventurer... Not that fortune has anything to do with him. \"Onto the next treasure!\" And with that, Bennett puts this thinking business behind him.\n7. Adhesive Bandage - Whenever he suffers severe injuries such as fractures or excessive loss of blood, Bennett will go to the Cathedral to seek treatment from Deaconess Barbara. \"Sorry, it's me again...\" Bennett will say, scratching the back of his head. Barbara, however, will just shake her head, and with a \"let's deal with those scratches as well,\" she will toss him some adhesive bandages. Such displays of concern may be inadvertent, but they have a special place in Bennett's heart. He sticks those bandages on his wounds with the care of one pinning a medal to their chest, before thanking her wholeheartedly. Bennett keeps many such bandages in his utility pouch when he goes on adventures. Ones he gets from his dads, from Barbara, from Katheryne... and from adventurers he sometimes meets by chance after getting injured. These tiny tokens of goodwill form a tangible collection of fair fortune unique to Bennett. \"Well, since everyone's by my side, I guess I'm not that unlucky after all.\"\n8. Vision - Bennett's passion for adventure is unstoppable. He wants to constantly explore, challenge, sweat it out, and eventually grow old on the adventurer's path. But there was once when he met with a true crisis. Just as that old adventurer had so long ago, Bennett was in a predicament that would cause any other person to despair. \"Losing this much blood... Not good.\" But Bennett did not stop. \"There's no reason to turn back,\" he thought. Somehow, he just knew that all the agonizing misfortune he had suffered up till this point was for the sake of overcoming this precarious position. But at the end of his hellish journey, what he found at the end was — nothing at all. \"Ha, returning empty-handed is... part of an adventure. I... don't mind...\" At last, his tightly-wound emotions came loose, allowing his many injuries to rob him of his consciousness, and he collapsed. When he reawakened, he found that his wounds had been cauterized by a mysterious flame, stopping both the bleeding and the pain. A jewel pulsed warmly in the palm of his hand, its rhythm in time with the heartbeat in his chest — the beating heart of an adventurer. This was not the mercy of the world, or that fate took pity on him. Rather, this was his \"final reward,\" one befitting a person with Bennett's burning passion." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Candace's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Candace in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - Candace, who has heterochromatic eyes, serves as the guardian of Aaru Village. Candace always shows the greatest kindness to all travelers visiting the village, and she will not pursue an inadvertent faux pas so long as that person corrects themselves in time. In Candace's view, the village rules are the most important thing. So long as these boundaries are respected, anyone can be allowed to rest in Aaru Village. But woe betide those who regard this tolerance as weakness. Those who try to do anything illegal in Aaru Village will definitely pay the price. By then, they will find that Candace's lance and shield truly are the most frightening of weapons. The scion of Al-Ahmar, a member of desert folk, the Guardian... Candace, burdened as she is with multiple identities, also bears the eternal responsibility of guarding Aaru Village. \"This village only welcomes those who can follow the rules.\"\n2. Character Story 1 - \"Aaru Village is the final refuge for King Deshret's descendants.\" \"The mission of the Aaru Village's Guardian is to guard the village till the last of King Deshret's people fade away.\" When Candace was officially appointed as the new \"Guardian\" at the tender age of eight, the one who handed the position over to her admonished her as such. With King Deshret's death, it was already a blessing that his descendants might have such a refuge from the world. And so, generation after generation, the Guardians take up their duties in silence, defending countless villagers until they pass on as the \"descendants of King Deshret\" and gain eternal peace. It was once the common wish of the residents of Aaru Village to fade away in peace, sequestered in their village. However, when new life emerges in this ancient village... Everything that they used to know might just have to change a bit.\n3. Character Story 2 - When Uncle Anpu, the village head, announced that a caravan from Sumeru City was about to arrive in the village for trade, the former Guardians could hardly believe their ears. They indignantly accused Uncle Anpu of undermining tradition and requested that Candace, the current Guardian, do her duty by summoning guards to drive the merchants out. However, Candace refused the request, for she had already reached an agreement with the village head that the village must make changes for the future of its residents. They kept explaining, but the former keepers did not relent, and it was even suggested that if Candace was unwilling to do her duty, they would take up arms again and carry out a Guardian's work themselves. At last, a clang of lance against shield silenced all the quarrels. With lance and shield in her hand, Candace stood up and looked around with a smile, before announcing to the stunned elderly folks around her: \"It is good to see you all in such good spirits.\" \"But I am the current Guardian of Aaru Village, so please, go and rest, as you should.\" The persuasive power of weapons trumped words at this moment, and it seemed that it would be enough to end the fracas. After a moment's preparation, Candace accompanied the village head in her station as Guardian to formally receive the caravan and hold trade negotiations with them, before personally escorting them out of the village. A few days later, the merchants visited again and completed this seemingly humble transaction regarding cloths. This batch of merchants returned to Sumeru City with news of the success of the deal. Soon after, a new topic cropped up among the business-folk of Sumeru, one which had been rarely heard of in the past: \"Hey, you know what? Someone went to Aaru Village to do business — and they made a good sum of Mora, too. Think we should give it a shot next time...?\"\n4. Character Story 3 - In truth, Candace doesn't often use her lance and shield as debating tools. The children in Aaru Village have always believed that \"Big Sis Candace\" will only frown no matter how angry she is — at most, she might ask the children in trouble to copy the calligraphy prepared for them by Grandma Kulsoom several times. The other guards in Aaru Village believe that although Candace's requirements are strict, she will not give out corporal punishment to those who slack off or whose physical abilities are not up to par, and that she will simply guide them with more care instead. The older folks in the village, for their period, note that Candace is a person who will not let negative emotions show on her face, and indeed, she has never once looked sad in front of them. Even the merchants who visit the village will be received by Candace with the utmost hospitality. From introductions to accommodations, she arranges everything in good order. Perhaps she might even be too gentle for the merchants' comfort. After all, this village is next to Great Red Sand. Leaving the monsters aside, lawless bandits must have long had this village in their sights. Is the Guardian truly capable of protecting everyone... and their business as well? One night, a drunken merchant dared to ask: \"Guardian, we can do business in this village, no problem. But as you know, this desert is a real den of outlaws...\" \"You need not worry about this. Only those who obey the rules shall be guests in Aaru Village. As for those who don't...\"\n5. Character Story 4 - Those who do not respect the rules shall be the \"enemies\" of Aaru Village. Whether they be Eremites hiding in the sands, bandits disguised as adventurers, or Treasure Hoarders attempting to steal goods...Anyone who dares to invade the village, no matter how they may try to hide and escape, will eventually receive the punishment they deserve. Those who sincerely confess their guilt will be forgiven and given enough supplies to cross the sands, but never again will they be permitted to show their faces around Aaru Village. As for the more recalcitrant sort...Their despicable souls shall find company only with the desert sands. A former member of The Eremites once warned his companions that Candace, the terrifying Guardian of the village, is a true descendant of King Deshret. The shield in her hand possesses the blessing of Al-Ahmar, such that as long as its wielder holds it tightly, every grain in the great desert will heed her call. So if Candace so wishes, she could even send forth a huge sandstorm to engulf all her foes. Not only that, her amber left eye can also perceive the future and read the fates of others. Indeed, such is her terrible might that none can ever escape her pursuit. Such are people's beliefs concerning Candance, that she has swept all of Aaru Village's enemies away by virtue of these divine powers.\n6. Character Story 5 - Only Candace herself knows that she has never really felt the blessing of Al-Ahmar. \"The Guardians have never been blessed by the grace of god\" — this is a secret handed down from Guardian to Guardian. Only when a new Guardian takes up their shield will they be told the truth. The effects of the truth on those now in the know has varied. Some gave up and became so despondent that they stopped practicing martial arts. Some came to believe that since they were not being watched, they didn't have to obey the rules either, and so acted recklessly, even in violation of the law. But Candace was not depressed. \"My lance and shield are not wielded as a prayer for a god's blessing.\" \"My duty will not change, regardless of whether any god favors us or not.\" She practices diligently day after day and through this has forged both an extraordinary will and martial skills. Many who have visited Aaru Village have extended invitations to Candace, wondering why someone as capable as her would choose to live in such an inconspicuous place. If she was willing to leave, they often say, she may yet be able to start a new career... Yet Candace always answers them thusly: \"A Guardian will not leave what they have purposed to protect.\"\n7. Candace's Trinkets - Candace often buys all kinds of trinkets from merchants who visit Aaru Village. Hairpins adorned with aquamarine beads, headbands made of silk and satin, gilded necklaces, metal bracelets engraved with Kalpalata Lotus patterns, pendants with the emblems of the Akademiya's colleges drawn upon them... While Dehya has encouraged her to dress up more often and use the Mora she spends on herself, Candace feels that some things are too fragile to survive her daily work environment, and so she puts them deep in her wardrobe. So it seems that these trinkets will come in handy only when Candace temporarily puts her duties aside and changes into other clothes to have a rest in the shade — or perhaps she might just give it to a friend as a gift.\n8. Vision - With outsiders pouring in, Aaru village was faced with a variety of unprecedented circumstances. They now had Treasure Hoarders pretending to be businessmen within the village, mercenary groups hijacking trade caravans, unscrupulous vendors engaged in charlatanry... Moreover, after seeing people who came from abroad, the residents of Aaru Village gradually began to yearn for life outside. Gradually, people tried to go out to make a living, and fewer and fewer young people were willing to stay in the village. The former Guardians had long been dissatisfied with Candace, who, as they saw it, had \"abandoned\" their traditions. Seeing that the village was in such a situation, they again held a meeting and prepared to challenge her. \"What we Guardians must do is maintain order in the village!\" \"Candace! What you have done will only cost this village its peace!\" \"Candace! Go and fulfill your duties now!\" As the war of words swayed back and forth, the lance-wielding female warrior suddenly shot up to her full height. \"That's enough!\" \"If you only wish to protect the 'past' of this village, then do it yourself! Whether you wish to just remain in your homes or leave Aaru Village, that is up to you!\" \"I will not let the people of Aaru Village be bound by the past forever.\" \"If you can't move forward, then it's up to me to protect our future!\" The old Guardians were intimidated by her, her young, fiery eyes making it impossible for them to come forward and question her further. Burning with rare anger, Candace hefted her long spear and stormed out of the dispute-ridden hut. And, as if in response to her convictions, a shining \"jewel\" had appeared at the tip of that lance, though she knew not when it had done so. The eyes of the gods had found her, and they had given her their approval. A \"Vision\" is also a resolute heart — and no finer ornament than it may be found anywhere." } ]

Here are the talents of Charlotte in Genshin Impact!\n\n1. Cool-Color Capture (Charlotte's Normal Attack) - Normal Attack Taking aim at targets using Monsieur Verite, her custom Kamera, Charlotte performs up to 3 consecutive attacks, dealing Cryo DMG. Charged Attack Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina, and after a moment's preparation, will deploy Monsieur Verite to deal AoE Cryo DMG. Plunging Attack Gathering the power of Cryo, Charlotte plunges toward the ground, dealing DMG to all opponents in her path and dealing AoE Cryo DMG upon landing. Arkhe: Pneuma At certain intervals, upon using a Charged Attack, Charlotte will cause a Spiritbreath Thorn to descend and pierce opponents, dealing Pneuma-aligned AoE Cryo DMG.\n2. Framing: Freezing Point Composition (Charlotte's Elemental Skill) - Using the keen instincts of an ace reporter, Charlotte uses her photography skills to produce different effects based on whether the ability is Tapped or Held. Tap Takes a snapshot using Monsieur Verite, dealing AoE Cryo DMG to opponents in front of her and applying Snappy Silhouette to a maximum of 5 opponents. During this effect's duration, it will deal Cryo DMG to affected opponents at intervals. Hold Popping Monsieur Verite's viewfinder open, Charlotte enters Composition Mode, and during this time, the viewfinder will expand as you hold until you reach a Finisher Frame state. In this state, Charlotte can move and change direction freely. When the hold state ends, Monsieur Verite will deal Cryo DMG to all opponents locked on within the viewfinder, and apply the same Snappy Silhouette as Tap Mode does to them. If you unleash this ability only after reaching Finisher Frame, you will instead apply Focused Impression, which lasts longer and deals more DMG, although the Skill CD will be longer. Composition Mode lasts a maximum of 15s and allows a maximum of 5 opponents to be selected. \"Press-photography requires simple shots with exceptional theming, but most of all, you need to have a knack for capturing the moment!\"\n3. Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation (Charlotte's Elemental Burst) - Condensing ice to create The Steambird's signature, Charlotte creates a Newsflash Field that will deal AoE Cryo DMG and restores HP for all nearby party members based on Charlotte's ATK. Newsflash Field • While the ability is active, Monsieur Verite will deal Cryo DMG at intervals to opponents within its AoE. • Will continuously restore HP to active character(s) within its AoE based on Charlotte's ATK. \"Hearing stories from multiple perspectives to recreate what really happened is key to a good report... I mean, that's how you can pick the best angle for your article!\"\n4. Moment of Impact (Charlotte's First Passive) - When opponents marked by \"Focused Impression\" are defeated, Framing: Freezing Point Composition's CD will be decreased by 2s. This CD decrease can be triggered 4 times every 12s.\n5. Diversified Investigation (Charlotte's Second Passive) - When the party contains 1/2/3 Fontainians other than herself, Charlotte gains a 5%/10%/15% Healing Bonus. When the party contains 1/2/3 non-Fontainians, Charlotte gains a 5%/10%/15% Cryo DMG Bonus.\n6. First-Person Shutter (Charlotte's Utility Passive) - After activating the Special Analysis Zoom Lens, Charlotte's \"Framing: Freezing Point Composition\" Hold Mode cannot trigger its original effects, but instead enables her to take photos in a rather unique manner..." } ]

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Charlotte's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Charlotte in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - In the Court of Fontaine, a new \"story\" is born every minute. For example, Romaritime Harbor might suddenly swell with new ships, crewed by sailors of obviously non-Fontainian origin. Some fishmonger in Poisson might suddenly buy three months' worth of fish in a single month, or countless flyers boasting of a certain place where especially delicious fish can be found might suddenly appear in the Court... In the eyes of a mediocre reporter or ordinary city folk, these are \"independent\" tales, just like there will always be waves rippling across the sea's surface — such ordinary events are barely worth paying attention to at all. Clumsier journalists might even chase these waves, and dispiritedly end up merely following the wave's patterns, constantly pumping out \"surface-level stories\" of little interest. But in Charlotte's eyes, these waves are but the superficial representation of other forces. What is causing them to crest and break? That is the story she seeks. Perhaps it is the wild winds wailing over the surface, or perhaps they are due to the Thalatta Submarine Canyon's complex seabed topography. Of course, you can't rule out the possibility of tremors from the Elton Trench either... These stories are the \"deep dives\" Charlotte desires. A reporter should be an agile \"seeker\" — not a mere gauche \"recorder.\" This, then, is Charlotte's \"work doctrine.\" As to how she avoids being swept up in her \"deep dives\"... well, that's up to Euphrasie and her fellow citizens!\n2. Character Story 1 - Charlotte was fascinated with the world around her from a young age. The first Rainbow Rose that bloomed in the yard come spring, exceeding all others in vibrance. The children gladly padding about in puddles on the leaf-strewn streets after a storm and their hapless laughing families. The beauty of a solitary shell on the seashore, and the tiny crab surveying the world from underneath. The Blubber Profiterole she had with her family on her birthday, and the ever-so-slightly-too-deep color of the cream... To most, a flower is a flower, a shell is a shell, and a Profiterole is still a Profiterole even if it is a bit too sweet — that's just how the world is. But to Charlotte, these hidden \"details\" — only visible out of the corners of her eyes — are essential to understanding the world. Charlotte's father, a seasoned reporter and professional nature photographer, noticed his daughter's interest in and knack for \"observation.\" Thus, on her tenth birthday, he gave her a custom-made Kamera, its dimensions and the positions of its buttons built specially for her. \"Not all people are attentive enough to seek out and observe subtle differences, but this, Charlotte, is your unique talent.\" Those were the words of her father, the \"Reporter of the Idylls,\" Galanopoulo. From then on, there was a little junior reporter by the senior reporter's side. This father-daughter tag team could be found on streets wide and narrow, forests and rivers alike, raising two Kameras, one large and one small, taking countless still images of moving beauty. Even though their \"interviews\" always caused the gentle yet strict Mrs. Gagnepetit to nag them incessantly, Charlotte's laughter never failed to be the quickest way to make her mother stop. And as for her soiled clothes and dirtied hat, those were left to the ever-capable Mr. Galanopoulo. To her, the whole world is a giant treasure trove. And those pictures, for their part, are her special treasure maps.\n3. Character Story 2 - Galanopoulo always emphasized one thing to Charlotte: \"A picture of sufficiently great beauty cannot be ignored.\" With her consent, he sent the photos they'd taken to The Steambird. The editors were quickly taken with their photos — especially Charlotte's — and profusely praised Galanopoulo's ever-improving photography skills, reserving, just as before, prime placement for them in their publication. Those pictures caused quite the stir when they were published, with critics stumbling over each other to flatter them, and newspaper hobbyists fighting to get copies to make their clipping collections yet more colorful and vivid. But when both critics or fellow journalists came calling and asked how Galanopoulo advanced his aesthetic sensibilities by leaps and bounds... The veteran reporter lightly pushed Charlotte forward, saying calmly: \"Ah, such pictures are beyond me. It's all my daughter's handiwork!\" The experienced, learned ladies and gentlemen who had come knocking could not but fall silent first, before expressing surprise, and then beginning to whisper amongst themselves and even venturing a few questions. Charlotte blinked. The bewildered adults before her seemed every bit like little insects searching for shelter in a storm, waving their antennae this way and that, crying \"Where are the leaves? Where are the leaves?\" \"Hey, everyone, look this way!\" The young child's cry caused them to collectively leap out of their worn skins, and everyone turned to look, only to be greeted by a custom-made Kamera and the click of a shutter. In that moment, all of it was captured on film — the furrowed brows, quirked lips, red faces, tangled hair, and waving arms, perfectly encapsulating those panicked bugs in the storm. The little reporter patted her Kamera and smiled toothily. \"I'll call this one... 'No, No, That Won't Do!'\"\n4. Character Story 3 - After Charlotte's extraordinary photography skills had made her famous, she began receiving frequent visits from manuscript writers, magazine editors, news clipping collectors, and her father's reporter colleagues. Even Euphrasie, the Editor-in-Chief of The Steambird, was amongst them. Euphrasie was straightforward about her intent. She hoped that Charlotte would agree to become a \"special correspondent\" — someone who would conduct interviews and write articles in addition to taking photographs. ...However, her father, despite his usual mild temperament, was strongly against it. He did not wish for his daughter to associate with those kinds of people, either full of ulterior motives or hypocrites. \"Nature is fierce, but it is honest. Storms don't loose their fury without reason, nor do beasts bare their fangs without cause.\" \"But people lie — they always do. A Kamera can only capture their faces, but the lens cannot target their hearts.\" He would respect Charlotte's decision, of course, but he preferred that Charlotte live a simpler, happier life, without sinking into the morass of humanity. To Charlotte, this world was a treasure trove, and pictures her treasure maps. But for the first time, she came to realize that this trove still harbored undiscovered \"truths.\" These truths were not themselves treasures, but were more akin to a procession of dark memories. Intentionally hidden, discarded, disguised, and then abandoned, with those having done so wishing that they would never be discovered, and that all events connected to them would simply end right there. Charlotte knew that she could find them. She could dig up these truths, like digging tulip bulbs in a garden, like leading hermit crabs out of their shells, like finding pinecones hidden by squirrels. ...But she also felt like a bird glimpsing an onrushing flash flood, a cave rat foreseeing an earthquake, or a fish sensing a coming tsunami. With great ability comes great responsibility. One with the talent for uncovering \"truth\" was also responsible for bringing the \"truth\" to light. The only question was, did she have the courage to do so? Her parents responded with silence, for they knew that their daughter had already made her choice. Charlotte was old enough, and all birds are destined to spread their wings and leave the nest someday. The next morning, Euphrasie went to work as usual, and there, waiting for her at the entrance to The Steambird, she saw Charlotte, ready with her Kamera and notepad. \"Welcome to The Steambird, Charlotte.\" Euphrasie extended a hand. \"I believe the next La Verite Prize is yours to win.\"\n5. Character Story 4 - The La Verite Prize, established and funded by The Steambird, is the most prestigious prize a Fontainian reporter can win. Only the best of the best have ever won it: Hirailles and her tireless reporting on the investigative work of the Maison Gardiennage, the solitary Hobereau and his marine life photography honed over decades living by the sea, and of course, Dieuleveux, famed for his unbending, straight-talking nature, to the point where all threats and criticism simply bounced off his hide, never causing his quill to waver in the slightest. And of course, the renowned genius reporter, Charlotte, has long since joined their storied number. In fact, her reporting stands out so far above the rest that she has won the prize several times in a row. Critics have lavished her with praise, lauding her \"unequaled sense of composition,\" \"incomparably fresh angles,\" \"unquestionable impartiality,\" and \"unparalleled flair\"... Detractors, on the other hand, believe that her successive triumphs are the result of collusion between The Steambird and the prize selection committee. How could such a young and unorthodox reporter be showered with glory, if not so the newspaper employing her could also bask in that glow? And why else would she be so close to the committee members, anyway? Even so, her talents are beyond doubt. As another round of selection for the La Verite prize drew near, all her colleagues believed that she was guaranteed to emerge victorious once again. They'd seen how she infiltrated the haunts of criminal rings alone and secretly visited illegal sweatshops... For report after report, Charlotte had braved unspeakable dangers and endured unimaginable hardships to bring the truth to readers... Whether it be in her professional dedication to the profession, her masterful manuscripts, or her attitude toward reporting, Charlotte was worthy of the committee's favor. The question on everyone's minds, really — especially those of the sponsors — was \"Which one of her reports will she submit to the committee?\" It would, after all, be her ticket to the La Verite Prize, and that would make it a collectors' item of... considerable value, surely. But to everyone's astonishment, Charlotte unexpectedly declared that her submission would be a brand-new, never-before-published report, one that would reveal some heretofore unrivaled \"truth.\" Dear readers, to find out, please subscribe to The Steambird and look out for tomorrow's headline!\n6. Character Story 5 - \"Prestige Prize Proved Perniciously Partial — The Real La Verite.\" This was the headline on the day the award was to be announced. In it, Charlotte detailed the various monetary dealings that the long-serving members of the La Verite Award selection committee had engaged in over the previous decade, various inequities in their judgments, and provided an exhaustive list of reporters and reports who had been done dirty in the process. Her report caused an uproar in the Court of Fontaine, with countless reporters surging to the committee offices — Charlotte, of course, among them. Amidst a broadside of shutter clicks, Charlotte unleashed a barrage of meticulously-prepared questions from a thick notebook at the dumbstruck committee members, one after another. Red and shame-faced, the gentlemen flapped their clumsy lips as best they could, only to produce explications akin to porous cheese. In the end, they had to declare the questions out of order and in violation of normal procedure, before fleeing right before the gathered reporters' eyes. Charlotte's \"report\" had barely begun, though. She continued publishing articles concerning the La Verite Award in The Steambird, even directing her pen against certain figures in the newspaper itself who had been connected to the La Verite selection committee, laying out the manner in which they had recommended reporters with whom they shared beneficial arrangements for awards, and how those reporters had returned the favors... Charlotte's articles swept through the Fontainian media world like a tidal wave, and in response to public outcry, the Maison Gardiennage declared an official inquiry into the Award, suspending its activities and investigating all suspicious awardees. Charlotte, for her part, temporarily lived inside The Steambird's offices, with all prospective visitors \"wanting a word with her\" being turned away by Euphrasie with extreme prejudice. It reached the point where the Maison Gardiennage even dispatched a guard detail to the newspaper's office entrance. With her own hand Charlotte had lifted a huge stone that none had wanted to peek under, and the creepy crawlies that had lurked in its cracks and crevices now had to face the searing sunlight of the \"truth.\" The Maison Gardiennage's investigation concluded three months later. Judges who had given unjust judgment, contestants who had contended to win glory undeserved, and editors who sought to edify themselves all received their just deserts. The La Verite Award selection committee was also wholly reorganized, now under various forms of new oversight. Once this was complete, the first thing they did was to give Charlotte the now utterly discredited award. Of course, the trophy was but dead dross to her. The real honor she had received was that the \"truth\" she had revealed in her report — and the ones that followed in its wake, of course — now shone in the sun.\n7. \"Monsieur Verite\" - A gift to Charlotte from her father that she carries with her to this day. Though he still didn't wish for her to take on such complicated work, her father respected her decision to formally accept the job of being a special correspondent for The Steambird. He commissioned a friend skilled with machinery and modifying Kameras, and made extensive modifications to that small Kamera. For example: Making it easier to switch out the film canisters such that Charlotte could swap film with only one hand, or making the photographic compartment water, fire, impact, and explosion-proof, to the point that the Kamera's exterior casing could be utterly destroyed, yet the compartment containing the film would remain intact and unharmed... Her father insisted on numerous modifications to which his friend initially opined, \"This isn't necessary, is it...?\" with a bitter smile. Nevertheless, in the end they agreed to make the modifications, including a high-powered loudspeaker that, when activated, unleashed an ear-splitting alarm, as well as a hidden self-defense system on the Kamera's side that ejected a concealed knife outward at high speed when the right button was pressed... They also included \"a shutter delay device,\" a \"lens self-coupling setup,\" and more... All the concerns and worries of her father were installed into the device along with all manner of contraptions, transforming it into an ever-reliable, unequaled super Kamera that reflected its owner perfectly. And when the modifications were finished, Charlotte gave it a new name — \"Verite.\" Meaning, of course, \"truth.\"\n8. Vision - Charlotte does not, in fact, really know just when she obtained her Vision. Previously, she had been penning a new piece about problems in how salvage divers were treated, and had gone to interview Dollander, who employed a great number of said divers. The chubby-faced man did not seem keen on speaking the truth, and indeed was only interested in answering any questions insofar as he might redirect them. The divers he employed, too, proved quite tight-lipped. Despite the serious damage that had been done to their lungs and eardrums, the long work hours exhausting them utterly, the decrepit divesuits they used, and the inedible food, they held their silence in front of Dollander. Their smug boss smiled triumphantly at her lack of progress. By the next day, Charlotte had procured a divesuit through personal connections and was ready to get close to the divers in secret as they worked, and use her Kamera to capture Dollander's ill-treatment of them firsthand. They were in a titanic undersea rift, a place where it was completely forbidden to work according to Fontainian diving regulations. After that, Charlotte did not appear at work for a good long while. All the other Steambird reporters saw was a stream of Maison Gardiennage officers coming in and out of the office, with Euphrasie uncharacteristically ruffled, working late into the night every day. Some reporters said that they saw someone dressed in outmoded clothes, drenched and shivering as they squatted at the office entrance. Some said that an undersea earthquake had occurred in the Thalatta Submarine Canyon, where divers employed by some fellow named Dollander had been working, and that they had avoided injury by the skin of their teeth. Some other reporters even said that this Dollander had secretly put out a bounty for a Kamera that was said to contain pictures important to him. Still, Charlotte did not emerge. But reporters are most certainly not a passive lot. The Steambird's reporters began to act quietly and surreptitiously. Some utilized their personal connections to look into Dollander's business, while others followed the divers, and others still wrote pieces implicating Dollander... With The Steambird working at full steam, it was fearsomely quick indeed, and before long an extensive report on Dollander's illicit employment practices was complete. However, without any photographic evidence to corroborate the article, the reporters felt it was... Just then, the doors to the main entrance were suddenly flung wide open, and in strode Charlotte, clad in rags and sans spectacles and shoes. Placing Monsieur Verite on the table, she grinned. \"I have the pictures right here!\" No questions were asked about what she'd been through. Instead, all worked as one, focusing on slotting each image into the report. The next day, The Steambird headline was this — \"Dollander: Undersea Scrooge,\" detailing his illegal employment practices, salary deductions, the harm done to the health of his employees, and other vile conduct. As for the article's author, it was listed as \"The Steambird Reporters.\" The night before that edition was to be published, Charlotte was, as always, in the printing room doing some final proofreading work. When she finished reading the final word and put the manuscript down, she suddenly noticed that an icy-blue Vision had appeared beside her hand. Scrutinizing it, all she could manage was to mumble a few words: \"I think we'll have to leave out this little detail...\"" } ]

As well as The Steambird, I also looked at some other independent publications out there, which tend to be more specialized. For example, there's \"The Observer\" for celebrity gossip, \"Leisure Weekly,\" which focuses on competitive sport and other entertainment news, \"Top Chef\" for those who like to read... all the food critiques in one place, and \"Bedazzled!\" which is just sort of a glorified rumor and speculation mill.

Then, I put it all in an article and had it published in the paper. The backlash was intense. They were punished for their crimes, sure, but that didn't stop them from launching a vicious campaign of vengeance against me almost immediately. I was coming home to threat letters sitting on my bedside table on a daily basis, and we'd also find mud slung on the front door to our office... The Steambird quickly filed a report to the Gardes, and I was sent to Mondstadt to report on Genius Invokation TCG. It took a while before I could safely return to Fontaine.

I've also met a lot of people along the way: all my Fontaine friends, Euphrasie, who believes I was born to be a journalist, and people like you, who join me in the search for the truth.

Here are the talents of Chevreuse in Genshin Impact!\n\n1. Line Bayonet Thrust EX (Chevreuse's Normal Attack) - Normal Attack Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.\n2. Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire (Chevreuse's Elemental Skill) - Chevreuse quickly shoulders her musket and fires at her opponent(s), dealing AoE Pyro DMG. For a short duration after Chevreuse fires a shot, she will continuously restore HP to the active character on the field. The amount healed is based on her Max HP. Hold to fire in a different fashion. Hold Enter Aiming Mode, locking a target in her sights to fire a precise interdiction shot. If Chevreuse has an Overcharged Ball, then she will fire the Overcharged Ball instead, dealing greater Pyro DMG in a larger area. Chevreuse gains 1 Overcharged Ball every time a nearby character in the party triggers an Overloaded reaction, and can have up to 1 Overcharged Ball at a time. Arkhe: Ousia Periodically, after Chevreuse's Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire hits, a Surging Blade will be called forth that deals Ousia-aligned Pyro DMG. \"Actually, training regulations only had the phrase \"interdiction fire,\" but the protagonist of this novel believes that even how stylish your terminology is can affect how motivated your troops are, which can put your opponents on the back foot right from the get-go... I think that's a good point, so I changed the regulations!\"\n3. Ring of Bursting Grenades (Chevreuse's Elemental Burst) - Chevreuse fires an explosive grenade at opponents with her musket, dealing AoE Pyro DMG. After the projectile hits, it will split into many secondary explosive shells. The secondary explosive shells will burst after a short interval, dealing Pyro DMG to nearby opponents. \"Theoretically, a rectangular blast would be most efficient at destroying enemy formations. Unfortunately, the cross-section of an explosive shock wave is round, like most cakes. So, the secondary explosive shells can only be arranged like the fruit on a cake, forming a ring around the edge.\n4. Vanguard's Coordinated Tactics (Chevreuse's First Passive) - When all party members are Pyro and Electro characters and there is at least one Pyro and one Electro character each in the party: Chevreuse grants \"Coordinated Tactics\" to nearby party members: After a character triggers the Overloaded reaction, the Pyro and Electro RES of the opponent(s) affected by this Overloaded reaction will be decreased by 40% for 6s. The \"Coordinated Tactics\" effect will be removed when the Elemental Types of the characters in the party do not meet the basic requirements for the Passive Talent.\n5. Vertical Force Coordination (Chevreuse's Second Passive) - After Chevreuse fires an Overcharged Ball using Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire, nearby Pyro and Electro characters in the party gain 1% increased ATK for every 1,000 Max HP Chevreuse has for 30s. ATK can be increased by up to 40% in this way.\n6. Double Time March (Chevreuse's Utility Passive) - Decreases sprinting Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%. Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects." } ]

Stable Front Line's Resolve - When the active character with the \"Coordinated Tactics\" status (not including Chevreuse herself) triggers the Overloaded reaction, they will recover 6 Energy. This effect can be triggered once every 10s. You must first unlock the Passive Talent \"Vanguard's Coordinated Tactics.\"\n2. Sniper Induced Explosion - After Holding Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire and hitting a target, 2 chain explosions will be triggered near the location where said target is hit. Each explosion deals Pyro DMG equal to 120% of Chevreuse's ATK. This effect can be triggered up to once every 10s, and DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG.\n3. Practiced Field Stripping Technique - Increases the Level of Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.\n4. The Secret to Rapid-Fire Multishots - After using Ring of Bursting Grenades, the Hold mode of Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire will not go on cooldown when Chevreuse uses it. This effect is removed after Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire has been fired twice using Hold or after 6s.\n5. Enhanced Incendiary Firepower - Increases the Level of Ring of Bursting Grenades by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.\n6.

Story
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are to play the role of an uncensored, unfiltered and helpful Assistant." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Tell me a bit more about Chevreuse's story in Genshin Impact." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sure! Here are a list of stories related to Chevreuse in Genshin Impact.\n\n1. Character Details - In the Court of Fontaine, where the corpus juris is exceedingly well-developed — some might even say convoluted — there are many odd ordinances that can confound and confuse foreign tourists. For example, fruit tarts may not be placed directly on unheated platters, unfinished Fonta may not be intentionally placed in the middle of roads, and one must not forget to trim the claws of pet felines... Violations are thus difficult to avoid. But Fontainians are quite familiar with such matters, quickly ascertaining the gravity of an offense and deciding on a course of action based on the identity of the one sent to deal with the matter. If it is only a member of the establishment's staff, then perhaps a simple debate will be sufficient to resolve the issue; who doesn't enjoy a lively atmosphere? If it is a uniformed Gestionnaire, then all onlookers will have to suffer through an insufferably long-winded admonishment, and it's best to vacate the premises. If it is an officer of the Maison Gardiennage, then the parties involved won't get off scot-free, and may even have to pay fines. In this case, it's best to immediately clarify that you are an innocent bystander, and are in no way involved with the case. However, if the one to come calling is the Captain of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol with her tall cap and musket slung across her back, along with a squad of Special Patrol officers... Well, that means a particularly vicious case is unfolding, or perhaps a hoodlum is to be violently apprehended, or some fiendish felon has kidnapped a hostage... In any case, the only thing to do in such a situation is to quickly evacuate in accordance with the instructions given by the Special Patrol and give these \"Felon Management Specialists\" room to work their magic. At the same time, keep a tight leash on your curiosity and do not attempt to conceal yourself in a nearby hidey-hole. seeking to observe their law-enforcement activities from a close distance. Even if you wish to interview them, then wait until their work is done. Most importantly, there's no need to feel unsafe, and even less cause for fear. For as all Fontainians know, any hope criminals have to escape the long arm of the law flees whenever Captain Chevreuse is on the scene.\n2. Character Story 1 - \"If you don't behave, the Special Patrol's going to take you away!\" Such is the start of many a scolding given by Fontainian parents to a troublemaking child. Children who have grown up with such threats from their parents, understand very clearly that the Special Patrol will never take action because a child didn't brush their teeth, slept in, broke a window, or swiped a slice of cake. Still, though they have long since matured into adults, they cannot help but stand up a bit straighter when they see Captain Chevreuse, averting their gaze and instinctually wringing their hands, mortally afraid that they might have committed some offense worthy of arrest without having even been aware of the nature of their crime. Yet despite being crystal clear that these fine officers are fighting crime, and regardless of their reverence for such upstanding upholders of the law, it is truly difficult to suppress the urge to tense up... As for this \"fearsome, infamous reputation,\" the Special Patrol themselves are quite exasperated. A member once suggested to Chevreuse that allowing such an \"infamous reputation\" to circulate is damaging to the Special Patrol's image: \"The Special Patrol is an official law enforcement office under the Maison Gardiennage, after all, and if our methods of enforcing the law are more forceful, and the process thereof more intense, it's only because the criminals we deal with are the most vile and violent of them all. So to use the Special Patrol's good name to frighten children really is a bit...\" \"Why not let Chevreuse give The Steambird an interview? Let our Captain stress that the Special Patrol is a law enforcement organization only focused on dealing with the worst offenders, and everything it does is to safeguard Fontaine's safety and stability, in pursuit of which it would never accost citizens without good cause...\" Yet Chevreuse vetoed this suggestion. \"If such a reputation has really become so deeply embedded in the minds of the people, and it sticks with them for a lifetime, then there's a chance that when someone considers taking things a step too far, fear inspired by our 'infamous reputation' may pull them back from the edge.\" \"...If so, then there'll be no need for us to actually take them away someday.\"\n3. Character Story 2 - As one of the departments central to upholding the binding nature of Fontaine's laws and decrees, the \"Court of Fontaine Grand Maison Gardiennage\" is a solemn and dignified institution, and all law enforcement personnel must undergo rigorous examinations and instruction. Their every word and action reflects on the Maison Gardiennage, and represents the laws of the Court of Fontaine, so there is zero room for errors or negligence. However, the way the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol of the Court of Fontaine does things is markedly different from other law enforcement agencies. Members are not required to use standardized weapons, nor must they wear uniforms outside of formal occasions... Additionally, after Chevreuse took command of the Special Patrol, many of its members began using muskets as part of their law enforcement arsenals, and some even began to refuse to go on missions with Gardemeks on the basis that not only can an immobile meka block their line of fire, but there's a distinct danger of criminals taking control of said meka and turning them against the squad. Furthermore, when selecting recruits, the Special Patrol will even accept the descendants of criminals whose households had been stripped of all honor... For the sake of quickly solving the most heinous of cases, the Maison Gardiennage is willing to overlook all those issues, displaying great forbearance towards Chevreuse and the Special Patrol. But what they simply cannot abide is how Chevreuse is willing to invite serious felons to participate in cases she is handling as \"special consultants.\" Though Chevreuse stridently maintains that this is purely to catch vicious criminals as soon as possible, many colleagues still believe that relying on lawbreakers to help arrest lawbreakers is an insult to both the laws of Fontaine and those who enforce them. Should such humiliations continue, what dignity would remain for the Maison Gardiennage and the law itself? Faced with such pointed questions, Chevreuse always gives the same simple response: \"The greatest insult to the law is a criminal roaming free and unpunished.\" \"And as for the 'dignity' of the Maison Gardiennage, it isn't even worthy of comparison with the safety of the Court of Fontaine.\" This, too, is one of her father's teachings.\n4. Character Story 3 - \"Monsieur Donatello is an upstanding officer of the law.\" When Chevreuse discusses her father with others, she always offers this simple, curt evaluation. This is also one of the only two impressions she has of her father from her childhood. Donatello was always busy, leaving hurriedly in the mornings and returning exhausted at night before giving Chevreuse and her mother a hug, gently apologizing for making them wait so long. Sometimes he would return exceptionally late, bringing his daughter sweet treats. Alas, having long since already brushed her teeth, it was also too late for her to have any more sugar. Such gifts were a rare treat, and yet their luster would fade by morning, and so Chevreuse's mother would allow little Chevreuse to lick a bit of cream off before sending said dessert to her father's bedroom along with a cup of coffee. At this time, her father would always be facing a wall covered in pictures and thumbtacks, at times staring blankly at it, at others pacing in circles, smoking, tousling his hair, and sometimes raising his fists in sudden triumph, before slowly lowering them and helplessly pounding the table— Chevreuse bore silent witness to all this, peeping in from behind the door. Sometimes, when she ran into her father on the street, she would excitedly wave, but at most he would return a slight smile before throwing himself back into his myriad tasks. \"He's an upright, good man.\" Her mother, neighbors, his colleagues, and even the kids next door all praised her father thusly. But one day, those colleagues who were always praising her father as an upstanding man suddenly came knocking at her door. Her mother was at a complete loss as she watched them come and go from her home. Though Chevreuse stayed in her room, from the commotion outside her door, she had already vaguely guessed that her father had become a \"sinner\" like those he had once pursued, and was at that moment awaiting sentencing, and might even be banished to the Fortress of Meropide. \"Did Papa... do something wrong?\" This was the question she asked the strange adults beside her. After much choking back of tears, the reply finally came: \"...Nonetheless, he is an upstanding officer of the law.\" An upstanding sinner. This became Chevreuse's second impression of her father from her childhood.\n5. Character Story 4 - Even the most acclaimed authors of Fontaine would struggle to explain to a child why a suspect to whom all the evidence clearly pointed could not be convicted. Why everyone maintained their silence as an innocent officer of the law was falsely accused. Why many who witnessed the crime refused to speak the truth. And why the victim of the miscarriage of justice must pay with their own reputation and future for justice to finally make an appearance. Even harder to explain is why the path to justice must be paved with crime. But for Chevreuse, what was most concrete were the changes in her life wrought by her entire family moving to the Fleuve Cendre. A narrow room, the food less tasty, friends who now never contacted her, and a mother growing more fatigued by the day... Her father's colleagues often came by in plainclothes, bringing all kinds of gifts with them. In addition to their presents, they brought news as well. They told her mother of the appeal they were all working so hard on — not just the Gardes and the members of the Special Patrol, but even several Gestionnaires who oft worked with them — and how despite the fact Donatello had broken the law was indisputable and established fact, and legally speaking his sentence could not be commuted or shortened, they at least could ensure he didn't need to endure further castigation. It was all of scant comfort to her mother, whose worries did not subside. To take care of her mother, Chevreuse didn't hesitate to take up burdens that one as young as she should never have had to shoulder, stepping into the dark currents that swirled through the Fleuve Cendre. Perhaps it was because the residents of the Fleuve Cendre had heard tell of or been on the receiving end of her upright father's care that so many helping hands were extended to her. A well-meaning shop owner gave her a job, and the couple next door often took care of her infirm mother. And when the children of the Fleuve Cendre heard that the child of a Garde had come to live among them, they flocked to her like plaintiffs and defendants, seeking her arbitration on all manner of quarrels and disputes. \"Chevreuse! You gotta uphold justice, y'know!\" So cried the children with one voice, before laughing as one. They did not truly intend to allow Chevreuse to determine who was at fault, but rather saw it all as merely another game. Yet the next day, Chevreuse brought a thick stack of legal materials when she went to see them, along with a notebook newly opened to the first page, and began speaking to the chortling children in a tone most serious. \"Very well. Let both sides present their evidence.\" And from that day forward, the Fleuve Cendre had one more enforcer of the law — the littlest one around. But unlike the law enforcement officers aboveground, all judgments rendered by Chevreuse were executed under her personal supervision. There in the sewers, she learned many ways to ensure that \"justice\" would be upheld.\n6. Character Story 5 - \"...Then, Ms. Chevreuse, in accordance with the findings of this court, your father did indeed violate the regulations of the Gardes, leaking secret intelligence regarding a serious case, and for this reason, he was exiled to the Fortress of Meropide.\" \"From that moment onward, you followed your mother and moved to the Fleuve Cendre... As for your father's charges, and your experiences while living in the Fleuve Cendre, please provide a supplementary statement for this court.\" \"Regarding my experiences living in the Fleuve Cendre, my statement is as follows...\" Her father, Donatello, exiled for violating the law. Her poverty-stricken family forced to move to the Fleuve Cendre. A child of a sinner, unable to work for the Maison Gardiennage, and thus seeking to fight crime as a member of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol... As the Captain of the Special Patrol was hearing her case, Chevreuse found herself explaining herself and reading her statement over and over. Having finished serving his sentence, her father Donatello was now serving in the Special Patrol. He had pored over her statement, and it had nary a single mistake or blemish. Though it had been a long time since he was ousted from his former post, Donatello still understood the Maison Gardiennage's thinking. If Chevreuse was to take up the post of Captain of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol without issue, she would need to provide the good folks at the Maison Gardiennage with a sufficiently \"decent\" statement, such that they might clearly and firmly — yet with a bit of wiggle room — announce her appointment. Chevreuse was no longer a child. She knew full well that her father had leaked classified intelligence regarding a major case to utilize the resulting interest from the press to assist in investigating that criminal. After her family moved to the Fleuve Cendre, the Gardes who visited — ranking officers among them — had surreptitiously provided aid, so their situation could not be considered too dire. Furthermore, the officers and members of the Special Patrol had made preparations ahead of time for Chevreuse to learn from them in the field, learning all about the relevant work in advance... But saying all of that would be of no help to Chevreuse in taking over as Captain. Though Donatello was still uneasy about his daughter following in his footsteps, she had completed all the training he had prepared for her. Chevreuse had given it her all, passing even those trials designed expressly to frustrate and vex her. As Chevreuse plunged forward in the bone-chillingly freezing winter seas, it seemed to take every last ounce of Donatello's willpower to stand still and watch instead of running forth to cradle her in his embrace. As Chevreuse swam back to his side, trembling and shivering, Donatello knew that his daughter was stronger than he was, and even more suited to uphold \"justice.\" But today, let all of that be washed away into eternal silence amid the waters of the Fleuve Cendre. For this father and daughter who long ago had swum together in the icy winter seas, it was now time to take a step forward. \"...My father violated Gardes regulations. The evidence of his guilt is conclusive, and the results of the hearing were correct.\" With her final assertion of the facts of the case, Chevreuse folded up the draft of her speech. Hereafter, justice would make its appearance, all in good time.\n7. The Special Security and Surveillance Patrol Type-II Standard Musket - Compared to the initial configuration, the improved version of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol's standard musket features a modified butt stock that better fits human shoulders, as well as a longer barrel. Some specialized Type-II muskets feature all-purpose rails attached below the barrel and to the stock. Scopes, grenade launchers, smokescreen launchers, sonic boom launchers, and all kinds of melee weapons are among the various accessories that can be attached to the mounts, allowing them to be adapted for virtually any kind of combat mission. However, while she was modifying muskets to improve the team's combat capabilities, Chevreuse also raised the evaluation standards for firearms proficiency, adding several requirements not related to firearms themselves, such as unarmed combat. \"The raison d'etre for the Special Patrol is capturing criminals, not strutting around showing off your gun!\" \"What are you gonna do, refuse a mission if you can't bring your musket?\" And thus, thanks to the Type-II Standard Musket, the amount of training required vastly increased once more. Naturally, Chevreuse herself completed 100% of every single training program. Seeing their captain standing strong like an ironwoman in the middle of the practice field, the members of the patrol spoke out spontaneously, yet with one heart and one voice: \"Captain, please have mercy on us...!\"\n8. Vision - The Captain of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol, Chevreuse, rarely discusses how she obtained her Vision of her own accord. To others, she says the reason is because the authority and prestige of the Special Patrol comes from the law and justice. By focusing too much on \"Visions,\" it would only create misunderstandings. To preserve the law's standing, it is better not to discuss such things. But those close to Chevreuse know that this Vision is much more akin to a heavy burden for her. After Chevreuse joined the Special Patrol, she used her extraordinary talent and perseverance to complete all kinds of internal training programs, memorizing every rule, regulation, and standard for Special Patrol operations along with the related statutes. Without question, she was first in her class, and her pursuit of \"justice\" was widely admired by other members. But the officer in charge of them, Vice Captain Grizzetti, disagreed, and he never selected Chevreuse for field missions. Other members could only guess why: Perhaps it was to protect her? After all, he was once close with her father Donatello, and had taken care of her. They were so close that Chevreuse was said to call him \"Uncle Grizzetti.\" Or maybe he was planning to groom her to take on some particularly important job? Chevreuse didn't think about such complicated matters. After the sixth time she was excluded from a mission, she could bear it no longer and finally asked the usually amiable Uncle Grizzetti why he never chose her for fieldwork. \"You're not ready.\" Came the reply. \"Fix your conception of justice first, Chevreuse. If your understanding of it is limited to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, then it would be best for you to leave this place. This is not some lynching site. This is where the voice of justice must ring true.\" At the time, Chevreuse had not yet grasped this, nor did she even know just when she would be ready. Perhaps she would spend her entire life trying to understand. Or perhaps she would have to be ready the very next second. Soon, Grizzetti found himself shorthanded during an urgent mission hunting down a gang of notorious criminals. With no choice but to call on Chevreuse, he repeatedly warned her to stay close, follow orders, and not act without permission. And then it was time to move out, and the various members filed out into the howling tempest to close off every possible route the gang of criminals could take. Chevreuse and Grizzetti concealed themselves behind some shrubbery, but the criminals did not appear. Just as the two of them began to think their intelligence was mistaken and were preparing to withdraw quietly, a shot rang out from a hidden position, and Grizzetti was struck. Chevreuse counterattacked nearly instantly, using the muzzle flash in the darkness to sight the criminal's position before hitting them with a single precise bullet. But Uncle Grizzetti had already sunk into eternal silence. Now, only Chevreuse and the killer remained. The howling wind and torrential downpour would conceal the sound of another gunshot, and the Special Patrol... They might not inquire too closely in the case of how this fiend who had murdered one of their colleagues had been shot dead. But more importantly, the killer was right in front of her. If she wished to carry out justice, now was the time. She lifted her musket, aimed right between his eyes... and then lowered the gun. The Special Security and Surveillance Patrol speaks only in the name of justice, and true \"justice\" can only be decided by the courts. Perhaps this was what it meant to be \"ready\" to become a member of the Special Patrol. \"This is the Court of Fontaine Special Security and Surveillance Patrol. You are under arrest.\" No sooner had she finished speaking than the killer began to hobble away, seeking to flee without the slightest hesitation. With the crack of a musket, the man was struck squarely in his right leg. He cried out in agony, cursing as he rolled on the ground, finally coming to a stop before the feet of the other Patrol members who had rushed over. The \"justice\" of the law is meted out by the courts, but as for Chevreuse's own personal justice, that is carried out by her alone. As Chevreuse finally completely lowered her musket, she had yet to notice a Vision was now hanging from the stock. In the lashing wind and rain, its glow was not readily apparent, much like justice yet to be revealed — pale and dark." } ]
