Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionWhile investigating imaginary friends with Venti, Ellin asked you to search for the adventurer Jack within the Temple of the Lion. It seems he is traveling together with the legendary adventurer, Stanley.
- (Inside the domain)
- Paimon: The Temple of the Lion... We explored this place once before, didn't we? During the Stormterror incident.
- Paimon: Seems like it's now a hotspot for adventurers. That can only mean one thing...
- Paimon: We didn't bag all the loot last time!
- (Upon approaching the first obstacle)
- Paimon: Looks like we can't go any further.
- Venti: Not to worry! Allow me.
- Venti: Those who wander in the dust, the wind shall send soaring sky high.
- (Upon finding two people surrounded by a Cryo Abyss Mage and hilichurls)
- Paimon: Hey, are those guys...
- (During combat)
- Jack: Oh no, what're we going to do?
- Stanley: D—Don't worry...! I—I've got this...
- (After defeating the enemies and talking to either Jack or Stanley)
- Stanley: *panting*
- Jack: I was so sure I was about to die!
- Venti: To be fair, that could have gone either way.
- Venti: So — you must be Jack the Adventurer, I assume?
- Jack: Yes... Who are you?
- Paimon: Actually, we came looking for you.
- Venti: Ellin has a message for you. She said she won't be able to join you today to plan out your next adventure together. She'll join you some other time.
- Jack: Oh, I see... I feel bad you had to come all this way to find me... and then had to rescue me...
- Stanley: Huh? I don't see what all the fuss is about. It was nothing that I, Stanley, couldn't have dealt with by myself!
- Paimon: Whoa, you're Stanley? You're that legendary adventurer? Renowned in all of Mondstadt? Who once set foot in the Mare Jivari!?
- Stanley: Hehehe, the very same!
- Venti: Hahaha! I must say, it's an honor to meet one as legendary as yourself.
- Venti: Well then, how would everyone like to proceed? Head back, or head further inside?
Stanley, what do you think?
- Stanley: Hehehe, well... I think you're now in the safe hands of Stanley, the great explorer and legend of Mondstadt!
- Stanley: In which case, why head back now?
- Jack, what do you think?
- Jack: I think we should keep going. With Stanley by our side, we'll have no problem.
- Venti: Okay, motion passed by unanimous consent! Let's head further in.
Stanley, what do you think?
- (After the cutscene ends)
- Stanley: So. I'm guessing you mostly came here because you wanted to hear my adventure stories, am I right?
- Venti: No, we really were just looking for Jack.
- Stanley: What!? Do you know who I am? I am Stanley, renowned adventurer of Mondstadt!
- Venti: Yeah, I think we got that.
- Stanley: Well, your attitude says maybe you don't got that! I am Stanley, the living legend! Stanley, who braved the Mare Jivari!
- Paimon: Enough already! Stop name-dropping yourself every time you open your mouth!
- Jack: It's true! Stanley is the most amazing guy!
- Stanley: Hmph. Well, Jack will listen, won't you? Now, where was I?
- Jack: You and your partner reached the Mare Jivari! A famously terrifying place with not a wisp of wind!
- Stanley: Precisely! There was a deathly silence in the air. A sea of ashes stretched out before us, as was as the eye could see — the Mare Jivari.
- Stanley: Suddenly, my partner was caught in a whirlpool whipped up by an evil beast! Luckily, I managed to grab hold of him just in time...
- Jack: Wow! So did he make it?
- Stanley: *sigh* Sadly... In the end, I alone was able to set foot on home ground once more, where the gentle breeze carried away the tears welling up in my eyes...
- Jack: *sobs* That poor guy... How could that happen...
- Stanley: Jack! You can't cry so easily if you want to be a great adventurer!
- Jack: I—I know! Because an adventurer's proudest achievement is to die in the course of their final adventure.
- Jack: But whatever happens, no adventurer should ever die in a place where the wind doesn't blow... The wind has to bring your spirit back to Mondstadt!
- Stanley: *sigh* That's right! To die in a place where the wind blows, and to have your spirit carried back to Mondstadt on the wind... That's... that's the dream...
- Jack: Yes... Although, the most I can aspire to right now is beginners' commissions, like clearing out the slimes clogging up the sewers...
- Paimon: You shouldn't die in a place with no wind... Why do they keep going on about that?
- Paimon: Hmm, is that why Stanley thinks that Mare Jivari is the most terrifying place in the world? Because there's no wind there?
- (After defeating the enemies in the domain)
- Venti: Traveler, I believe I have made a small discovery.
- Venti: Could I ask you to use the nirnama detector once more?
- (The Traveler saw Stanley's imaginary friend while using the nirnama detector)
- Paimon: What? Stanley has an imaginary friend?
- Venti: It seems his imaginary friend is a seasoned warrior... covered in scars from head to foot, and a look of staunch determination on his face.
- It fits Stanley's description of himself.
- Venti: You're saying his imaginary friend is an idealized version of his own self?
- Venti: Interesting idea! But is it true?
- I knew there was something weird about his story...
- Venti: Oh? You thought so too, huh?
- Venti: I agree. He wasn't telling the whole story.
- Stanley: Please excuse me, I'll be leaving now.
- Jack: Bye, Stanley!
- (Stanley leaves the scene)
- (Jack talks to the Traveler, Venti, and Paimon)
- Jack: Do you two still have time to spare?
- Venti: What is it?
- Jack: A few days ago, Stanley got drunk and told me a secret — something he's never told anyone before.
- Jack: The weapons he took on his adventure all those years ago... they were none other than those once wielded by Mondstadt's greatest hero, Vennessa herself! The Sword of Brilliant Valor and the Shield of Magnificent Honor!
- Jack: I don't know whether you believe me, but... apparently, both the sword and shield are still right here in Mondstadt, over in Dadaupa Gorge!
- Jack: Since you guys are the experts at this... Can you come with me to try and retrieve these two legendary weapons?
- Stanley seriously owned these weapons?
- Jack: You bet! This is Stanley we're talking about!
- Why did he abandon them in the wild, then?
- Jack: I dunno, outstanding individuals always come with their quirks, right?
- Jack: If I can just get ahold of something impressive enough to show my family what I'm capable of, maybe they'll finally come around to the idea of me being an adventurer...
- Jack: Right now, I'm just a rookie. My abilities are limited, and my parents don't support my goals one bit...
- Jack: So, what do you say? Help a guy out?
- Jack: I can't bring myself to tell Stanley about it, because my reasons are so... selfish. But, I swear I'll give the weapons back to him as soon as I'm done!
- Paimon: Aw, poor Jack... Let's help him out!
- Alright then.
- Hard to say no after that sob story.
- Paimon: Venti, you coming too?
- Venti: Mm... I don't know...
- Jack: Oh, one other thing — I have a bottle of rare vintage wine that I had someone fetch for me a couple years ago. Help me find these weapons and it's all yours!
- Venti: Oh, Dadaupa Gorge, was it? Hehe, let's hurry, there's no time to lose!
- (The camera pans to Stanley, who has been listening in on the conversation)
