Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionThe young thaumaturge Chongyun has obtained a great amount of (rather unreliable-sounding) information concerning evil spirits. He seems a little dejected when you point this out. As he uses a popsicle to suppress his pure-yang spirit, you both feel someone's gaze on you from the side.
A Curious Gaze[]
- (Talk to Dalong)
- Dalong: O—Oh, huh?
- Dalong: Sorry, I'll leave now.
- Chongyun: No, please relax, there's no need to worry. We're not here for trouble. We couldn't help but notice you standing here for a while and thought that you might have something on your mind.
- Dalong: No, there's nothing on my mind, I just thought... the thing you were eating looked tasty.
- Dalong: My sister just loves food. She's always super happy whenever we get some tasty snacks.
- Dalong: I'm her big brother and I should take care of her, but... Mom says we are too poor and she never lets me buy any snacks.
- Chongyun: Oh, you mean one of my popsicles? I'm afraid you wouldn't find them very tasty, though.
- Dalong: It doesn't matter. My sister's never had anything like that before. I know she'd be happy to try one. Hmm, come to think of it, I've never had one either...
- Chongyun: I see. Hmm... That might be difficult.
What's wrong?- Chongyun: Well, I only have two popsicles left.
- Chongyun: These popsicles are very important to me, and I might need them if we encounter an evil spirit. Without them, I might not be able to control my constitution.
- What if you just give him one of the popsicles? (This dialogue option leads to The Exorcist's Path.)
- Chongyun: Just give him one? Hmm, I suppose keeping the other for myself will be enough.
- Chongyun: You see, my young friend, these popsicles are very important to me. I'm afraid I can only give you one.
- Dalong: That's okay, I don't need one, just as long as my sister is happy! Thanks a lot!
- Dalong: Woah, it's already starting to melt. E—Excuse me, I'd better hurry back to Chihu Rock now!
- Chongyun: I never expected that something I use to suppress my yang energy would be so appealing to kids.
- Chongyun: Anyway, back to our hunt for evil spirits.
- Chongyun: Earlier, it seemed like you could easily discern which clues were most credible. You must truly be a knowledgeable and seasoned adventurer.
I was just using good ol' common sense...- Chongyun: I still have numerous clues from my friend which I haven't sorted through yet. With my limited experience, it's hard to tell whether they're reliable leads.
- Chongyun: If you'd be willing, could you please come and take a look with me?
- Sure thing.
- Chongyun: Alright, let's go to Wanwen Bookhouse. Please, follow me.
- (Continues to The Exorcist's Path)
- Since he has a sister, you should probably give him both. (This dialogue option leads to Popsicles and Their Curious Uses.)
- Chongyun: Hmm, you're right. I'll just have to make do without my popsicles then.
- Chongyun: Here, my young friend, you can have my last two popsicles. You and your sister can each have one.
- Dalong: Really!? Wow! Th—Thanks a lot!
- Dalong: Hehe, just wait until my sister tries this. I haven't seen her smile in a long time!
- Dalong: Woah, it's already starting to melt. E—Excuse me, I'd better hurry back to Chihu Rock now!
- Chongyun: I never expected that something I use to suppress my yang energy would be so appealing to kids.
- Chongyun: *sigh* But I wonder how I'll manage without any popsicles...
- Can't you buy some more?
- Are they difficult to make?
- Chongyun: I usually get my popsicles from Wanmin Restaurant on special order. The ingredients are not complicated, but the restaurant is always bustling with business and Chef Mao is usually too busy to take my order.
- Chongyun: Now that I've used all my supply, I'll have to trouble him to make more.
- I'll go with you.
- Chongyun: Oh, no need! I'm sure I can manage it on my own.
- I'm a little worried about you.
- Chongyun: Oh, perhaps you were concerned about my unwell appearance earlier.
- Chongyun: I appreciate your concern, but please don't worry about me. I assure you, I'm not that fragile.
- I'm concerned about your abundance of yang energy.
- Chongyun: It's nothing to worry about. Over the years, I've grown quite accustomed to the discipline required to rein in my condition.
- I was the one who convinced you to give away all your popsicles in the first place.
- Chongyun: No, please don't feel at fault. I think you made the right choice.
- Chongyun: But if you're offering to come along, then I won't refuse.
- Chongyun: Alright, please follow me to Wanmin Restaurant.
- (Continues to Popsicles and Their Curious Uses)
