Dialogue[]

Quest Description

You see a familiar face in Sumeru City...

Initial Version[]

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Viktor, optional): Viktor: (What a wonderful place. Ah, if only I could stay here forever...)

(Talk to Viktor)

Viktor: Hmm... How should I carve this again...

Hi!

V—Viktor?

Viktor: Ugh, who's there? Stop bothering me already, I'm...

Viktor: Eh!? Traveler!? What brings you here to Sumeru?

Viktor: Come on, Rudolf can't have sent you to beat me up, right? I did nothing but send Lily a little gift way back when!

I'm just stopping by...

Viktor: So you're still traveling. Just can't stop, can you?

That's right, come back to Mondstadt with me!

Viktor: Ha, ha, ha, alright. Want a pair of shackles to lead me away while you're at it?

Viktor: Okay, enough joking around. I've got things to deal with.

Viktor: But, you know... I didn't expect to see you here in Sumeru...

Viktor: My original orders were to relocate from Mondstadt to Snezhnaya.

Viktor: But another order came and I was sent to Sumeru City to assist Mr. Vsevolod. Moreover, I was told that I was being transferred to Lord Pulcinella's command.

Pulcinella?

Another Harbinger?

Viktor: Yes... Well, no. I shall stop here, or Mr. Vsevolod would criticize my insensitivity to affairs of confidentiality.

Viktor: *sigh* The names of our Lord Harbingers are no secret. I can never understand why he's so antsy about it.

So, what are you doing in Sumeru?

Viktor: Oh, Mr. Vsevolod and I are mainly responsible for logistical support and coordination. In short, we go shopping a lot.

Viktor: It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's certainly nicer than idling away in the Mondstadt Cathedral.

Viktor: Hehe, my current job also comes with lots of free time, and no one's keeping an eye on me...

Viktor: So I picked back my childhood wood carving hobby back up. And guess what, Sumeru happens to be rich in wood. Perfect for practice!

Viktor: And you know what? My wood carvings are actually popular among kids. They have been bothering me about it, so I promised to carve one for them each.

Aren't you with the Fatui?

Viktor: Yes, so what? I mean... Who says a Fatuus can't make toys for kids?

Viktor: Besides, I'm just the supply guy. As for all those fancy great deals, I'll just leave them to the Lords.

You're not trying to pump the kids for information... Are you?

Viktor: Hey! I'd never do that! What's with your horrible stereotype of us Fatui?

Viktor: All in all, that's the situation here. I wasn't able to return to Snezhnaya, but I kinda like Sumeru. There's food, entertainment, and a pretty nice environment here.

Viktor: After work, I just grab some food and get myself a nice sunny spot for some wood carving.

Viktor: However... Haha, everyone gives me those skeptical looks, just like the one you gave me when we first talked.

Viktor: But there's nothing I can do. I'm a Fatuus after all.

I still don't really trust you even now.

Who says I trust you now? Stop cottoning up to me!

Viktor: Okay... Basically, I'm quite happy with my life now, and I even managed to keep some savings.

Viktor: If these days continue, I might just settle down here in Sumeru...

Viktor: Ahem, well, that's enough of that. Now that you're also here, Traveler, let's continue our "equivalent exchange," if you're in.

Viktor: But I'm also out of stories, so your payment will be in real currency this time around.

Well, that works better for me.

Am I taking commissions from the Fatui?

Viktor: Of course not, you'll just be doing commissions for Viktor.

Viktor: Alright, let me make the commission clear.

Viktor: I ordered some wood from Hamawi lately, but it hasn't been delivered yet.

Viktor: I can't go talk to him during working hours, or Mr. Vsevolod will scold me for sure.

Viktor: Traveler, would you please do me a favor and ask Hamawi about my wood delivery?

Just get my payment ready.

Viktor: Rest assured. I won't let you down.

You sure you're not up to anything...?

Viktor: Come on, when did I play dirty tricks in our trades before? Don't worry, I can't be bothered, anyway... What's wrong with a peaceful, simple life?

Viktor: Anyway, I'll leave this to you, Traveler.

(Talk to Viktor again): Viktor: I didn't expect myself to ever be able to pick up wood carving again...

(Talk to Hamawi): Hamawi: What awful luck...; About Viktor's wood...; Hamawi: Are you talking about the wood that the Fatuus ordered?; Hamawi: *sigh* I knew dealing with the Fatui wouldn't end well.; Hamawi: We were attacked by monsters while transporting that wood. All of us made it back alive, but our cart didn't. We were forced to leave the wood by the roadside.; Hamawi: I dare not go over there, nor can I find someone to get rid of those monsters so soon...; We aren't Fatui...; Hamawi: Aren't you a Fatuus? Then why are you helping him?; Hamawi: Anyway, I can only leave my cart there for now and see if I can hire someone to deal with the situation.; Hamawi: If you are anxious to get the wood, I'll mark the approximate location of the cart on the map for you, then you can go take a look for yourself.; Hamawi: *sigh* Nothing good ever comes of things that the Fatui are involved in...

(Talk to Hamawi again): Hamawi: *sigh* Nothing good ever comes of things that the Fatui are involved in...

(After picking up the plank)

Paimon: This should be the wood Viktor bought... Let's take some back.

(Obtain Normal Wood)

(Talk to Hamawi): Hamawi: *sigh* Nothing good ever comes of things that the Fatui are involved in...; About Viktor's wood...; Hamawi: This wood... You've chased away all the monsters? You're stronger than you look...; Hamawi: Thank you. I'll head over with a few others later and bring the wood back.; Hamawi: *sigh* Nothing good ever comes of things that the Fatui are involved in...

(Talk to Viktor)

Viktor: How did it go? Has my wood arrived?

You tell Viktor what happened...

Viktor: Monsters again? Sheesh, is it just me, or does it feel like every cart in the world is being attacked by monsters...

Viktor: Ugh, never mind... it's all good as long my wood gets here.

Viktor: Oh, right. Here's the payment I promised you. Count it up if you like.

Viktor: Uh, by the way... Um, is Lily doing well?

Viktor: I didn't say goodbye to her before I left. I hope she isn't angry...

She's doing really well.

Viktor: Alright. *cough* Come on, don't look at me like that. I was just a little concerned!

Go back and visit her yourself.

Viktor: Mr. Vsevolod will definitely kick my rear end if I do that. Forget it.

Viktor: I don't quite dare to send a letter directly either.

Viktor: Receiving a letter from a Fatuus sounds like a bad thing, after all. Hahaha...

Viktor: Anyway, make sure you count your remuneration up. I prepared the exact amount, Traveler.

Subsequent Version #1[]

(Talk to Victor)

Viktor: Hello, Traveler. You couldn't have come at a better time.

How's your wood carving going?

Viktor: Uh... Mr. Vsevolod found out that I've been carving wood in secret...

Viktor: But he didn't really get angry about it. He just told me to stay focused while I'm at work... He even asked me for a wood carving of a bunny.

Does he have a child to cajole too?

You Fatui are real children at heart, aren't you...

Viktor: Mr. Vsevolod said that my wood carvings have a strong Snezhnayan style, and that he really likes them.

Viktor: I've heard that Mr. Vsevolod's orders have kept him from going home to his family in Snezhnaya for a very long time now.

Viktor: I think he might really be homesick, unlike me...

Viktor: *sigh* Let's stop here. Traveler, I've ordered another batch of wood from Hamawi. Please help me take a look at how it's going.

Just get the payment ready.

Viktor: Don't worry, I've prepared real currency for you this time.

Don't you want to return to Snezhnaya?

Viktor: It's not that bad for me... I don't have any relatives in Snezhnaya, and I'm used to traveling. It's quite comfortable here in Sumeru too...

Viktor: I only spoke about returning to Snezhnaya because it was too boring in Mondstadt... *cough*!

Viktor: Anyway, I'm leaving this to you. I'll have your payment ready.

(Talk to Victor again): Viktor: I didn't expect myself to be able to pick up wood carving again...

(Talk to Hamawi): Hamawi: What awful luck...; About Viktor's wood...; Hamawi: Are you talking about the wood that the Fatuus ordered?; Hamawi: *sigh* I knew dealing with the Fatui wouldn't end well.; Hamawi: We were attacked by monsters while transporting that wood.

(Talk to Hamawi again): Hamawi: *sigh* Nothing good ever comes of things that the Fatui are involved in...

(After picking up the plank)

Paimon: This should be the wood Viktor bought... Let's take some back.

(Version without Vsevolod)

Viktor: How did it go? Has my wood arrived?

You tell Viktor what happened...

Viktor: Monsters again? Why does it feel like every cart in the world is being attacked by monsters...

Viktor: Never mind. The wood got here, and that's what counts.

Viktor: Oh, right. Here's the payment I promised you. Make sure to tally it up.

Viktor: Uh, by the way... Um, is Lily doing well?

Viktor: I didn't say goodbye to her before I left. I hope she isn't angry...

She's doing really well.

Viktor: Alright. *cough*... Don't look at me like that. I was just a little concerned!

Go back and visit her yourself, then.

Viktor: Mr. Vsevolod will give me a real hiding if I do that, so forget it.

Viktor: I don't quite dare to send a letter directly either.

Viktor: Receiving a letter from a Fatuus sounds like a bad thing. Hahaha...

Viktor: Anyway, make sure you tally your remuneration, Traveler. I prepared the exact amount.

(Version with Vsevolod; available if Subsequent Version #1 has been completed before)‍^{[verification needed]}

Viktor: How did it go? Has the wood I ordered arrived?

You tell Viktor what happened...

Viktor: Monsters again? Why does it feel like every cart in the world is being attacked by monsters...

Viktor: Never mind, as long my wood gets here, I'm fine with it.

Viktor: Oh, right. Here's the payment I promised you. Tally it up if you like.

Viktor: So... about Lily...

Vsevolod: Viktor, is this the Traveler you told me about?

Viktor: Ahem! Yes! Commander, this is the Traveler!

Vsevolod: What were you talking about? Did I interrupt you?

Viktor: No sir! I was talking with the Traveler about the commission!

Vsevolod: Thanks.

Vsevolod: Hello, Traveler. It's an honor to be with you today.

Hello.

Vsevolod: Hello Traveler. Actually, I've already learned about you through various means.

Vsevolod: Looks like you and us the Fatui are meant to meet.

Vsevolod: Viktor told me that you refused to join the Fatui in Mondstadt.

Vsevolod: I don't know if that's still your choice?

Yes.

I refuse to join the Fatui.

Viktor: Sir, this traveler actually is...

Vsevolod: That's enough Viktor. I won't have any feelings about the Traveler's choice.

Vsevolod: On the contrary... I respect those who stick to their choice and see it through.

I stand by my decision.

Vsevolod: I have no doubt about that.

Vsevolod: If you would excuse me, I have other errands to run.

Vsevolod: Hehe... I deeply believe that sooner or later we will have a chance to work together, Traveler.

Subsequent Version #2[]

Viktor: Traveler, perfect timing! Come over here and help me with something.

What are you up to now?

Viktor: I'm trying to make a dish from Sumeru using Snezhnayan cooking methods.

Viktor: But I don't recognize many spices from Sumeru, so I'm having to do it slowly by trial and error...

Is this a Fatuus' job too?

Viktor: Uh... Inspecting the quality of spices is within the scope of my job, of course.

You sure seem happy about all this...

Viktor: Huh? Uh... Sort of? I wouldn't consider it out of the ordinary. I go to work every day, after all.

Viktor: But let's get back to business. Because my... work schedule for inspecting the quality of spices has been too tight, the spices are consumed rapidly.

Viktor: After some discussions with Mr. Vsevolod, we've decided to commission Mr. Lambad to purchase spices for us.

Viktor: We're regulars at Mr. Lambad's tavern, so we trust his judgment.

Viktor: Traveler, please help me ask Mr. Lambad about how the purchase of spices is going.

Viktor: Besides that... Ask him if he has any good food ready. It's almost mealtime...

Alright.

You just wanted food, right?

Viktor: It's part of my job! Am I the kind of person who neglects his job and only thinks about food? Trust me, alright?

Viktor: Unfortunately, Mr. Vsevolod is always away for work, or I would have introduced you to him.

I don't want to get to know a Fatuus.

I don't want to join the Fatui.

Viktor: We'd just be saying hello. We aren't high-ranking Fatui, we just manage logistics. What kind of trouble could we possibly bring you?

Viktor: Anyway, I'll be leaving this to you, Traveler.

(Talk to Viktor again): Viktor: Mr. Vsevolod is working all day. In fact, I've even heard that he hasn't been back to Snezhnaya in years. I really wonder how he made it up till now...

(Talk to Lambad): Lambad: Hello there. Is there anything I can help you with?; I've been commissioned by Viktor...; Lambad: Oh, this is about the spices he asked me to purchase, right? I've got them right here, and I'll send them over in a while.; Lambad: Lunch? Oh my, we were quite busy today, so almost all the ingredients have been used up...; Lambad: I know! Traveler, can you get me two potatoes?; Lambad: In return... I'll make you some Panipuri. Thanks.

Lambad: Did you get the potatoes?
(Submit potatoes): Lambad: Perfect. These should be enough. Please give me a moment.; Lambad starts cooking...; Lambad: It's done. This serving is for you. Please take the other two servings of Panipuri to those two.
(Obtain Fatui Meal)

Viktor: So, what did Lambad say?

You tell Viktor what happened...

Viktor: Lambad really is a reliable boss and a really nice person.

Viktor: Unlike the others who instinctively become wary of us when they find out that we're Fatui.

That's your own fault, alright?

It's the Fatui's fault that things are like that...

Viktor: Oh, it smells really good. I bet Vsevolod would like it too.

Seriously...

Viktor: And here's the payment I promised you. Tally it up if you have to.

Subsequent Version #3[]

(Talk to Victor)

Viktor: Why are these spices so expensive?

Have you not bought the spices yet?

Viktor: Traveler! You're finally here. Uh... I have a question for you...

Viktor: D—Do you have any Windwheel Aster?

Why are you suddenly asking that?

What do you need Windwheel Aster for?

Viktor: Remember how I was busy with the spices? I heard Lambad mention something called a "sachet" during our discussion.

Viktor: To be specific, various flowers are dried in a small cloth pouch, some even sprinkle a dash of perfume on it...

Viktor: So, they tell me that ladies are really fond of these "sachets"...

I never expected this from you, Viktor...

You're really planning on settling down in Sumeru, huh?

Viktor: N—No! What are you talking about? Don't you remember that we spoke about sending Lily a letter?

Viktor: After giving it a lot of thought, I've decided to write Lily a letter. Leaving without saying goodbye was a terrible decision...

Viktor: Of course, making a sachet is absolutely beyond me, nor do I have enough materials. That's why I asked Jut to gather the materials for me.

Viktor: But I couldn't afford the spices in his shop... So, I offered him "equivalent exchange."

Viktor: Simply put, I'll give him rare plants in exchange for him helping me to gather rare spices.

Viktor: I promised Jut that I'd get him a Windwheel Aster, but I can't return to Mondstadt right now...

Viktor: So, Traveler, could you help me with this?

Just get my payment ready.

Viktor: No problem. There'll be enough to go around, believe me!

Is this another one of the Fatui's plans?

Viktor: Of course not. Mr. Vsevolod would have asked for funding if it were. Why would I even have to ask for your help then?

Viktor: Anyway, I'm trying to get away from the Fatui now, so I don't care about any of their plans.

Viktor: I've had enough of being suspected all the time...

Viktor: Oh, don't tell anyone about this, or they'll call me in for a little... chat...

Viktor: I'm counting on you. I'll be waiting for you here.

Viktor: But how should I start my letter to Lily?

(Talk to Victor again): Viktor: How should I start my letter to Lily?; Viktor: "Dear Lily"... Wait, I can't write that.; Viktor: "Hi, Lily"... Well, that doesn't sound too bad...

(Talk to Jut): Jut: What does a Windwheel Aster smell like?; About Viktor's commission...; Jut: Yes, I did make an agreement with him. He'll help me find rare plants, and I'll help him make a sachet.; Jut: You're the one he hired to help, right? If you get a Windwheel Aster, you can just pass it to me.; Jut: Did you get the Windwheel Aster?
(Submit Windwheel Aster): Jut: This is a Windwheel Aster? Hmm, an interesting plant indeed...; Jut: I'll take it. Tell him to leave making a sachet to me.

(Talk to Viktor): Viktor: So, Traveler, how did it go?; You tell Viktor what happened...; Viktor: Wonderful, thank you, Traveler.; Viktor: Here's your payment. Now, I'll go back to writing Lily's letter.; Viktor: *sigh* Writing a letter to her makes me more nervous than writing a report for Mr. Vsevolod...
