Dialogue[]
Daytime[]
- Sayid: Hello, my friend. You want to talk?
- About Stormterror...
- (After completing A Long Shot)
- Sayid: Stormterror's story... Or should I say, Dvalin's, is a topic with great research value.
- Sayid: I never expected to encounter such a cataclysmic event on my trip to Mondstadt. For me, it's quite fortunate.
- Sayid: Anyway, I will record everything I have seen and heard. I should like for my compatriots in Sumeru to learn of these historical events...
- Who are you?
- Sayid: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sayid, a visiting scholar from Sumeru.
- Sayid: Mondstadt is a pleasant place. I have been here for some time now, and I am reluctant to leave... It has definitely brought out my more, ahem, leisurely side...
- Sayid: In all seriousness though, a leisurely lifestyle just means doing whatever makes you happy, doesn't it? A fitting ethos for the City of Freedom...
- Sayid: And it seems that I've become a total convert without anyone having to preach it from the rooftops... Hah. The remarkable wisdom of the gods.
- Sayid: Anemo Archon Barbatos, my respect to you.
- Tell me about Sumeru.
- Sayid: It's my homeland, though I haven't been back in a long while.
- Sayid: Sumeru is known all over the world as a center of learning. As a traveler, I'm sure you must have heard of the Sumeru Akademiya?
- Sayid: Ms. Lisa of the Knights of Favonius studied there. My teacher mentioned her once — allegedly, Lisa was the best student they'd seen in two hundred years...
- Sayid: I am exceptionally curious as to the real reason that she wound up working here as a librarian...
- Made any discoveries?
- Sayid: I was reading up on some of Mondstadt's historical myths previously. Fortunately, the library has a wealth of resources for reference.
- Sayid: Of all the myths and legends in Mondstadt, the one I'm most fascinated by has to be The Legend of Vennessa.
- Sayid: The spirit of freedom prized by Mondstadt must have been modeled after her courage in standing up to injustice and oppressive rulers. Even as an outsider, I am deeply moved.
- Sayid: My focus has shifted to the songs of Mondstadt of late, so I'm done with this book now. Just remember to return it to the library once you've finished reading it...
- (Obtain The Legend of Vennessa (II))
- Goodbye.
- Sayid: Farewell, may you forever grow in wisdom.

Made any discoveries?
Nighttime[]
- Sayid: ...Oh, my apologies. Did my musings disturb you?
- What are you looking at?
- Sayid: I'm currently reading the works of some bards.
- Sayid: They weave their ideas, thoughts, and truths into romantic poetry, not at all like the unwieldy tomes of Sumeru...
- Sayid: Perhaps this romanticism is an expression of great wisdom.
- Sayid: Yes, this is excellent. Excellent material, indeed.
- Farewell.
- Sayid: Farewell. May you grow in wisdom.
Event Dialogue[]
Of Ballad and Brews[]
- Sayid: Hello friend. Have you heard of the ballad of the Windcoming Day?
- Sayid: The song of this festival is not only beautiful, but also seems to have a deeper meaning.
- Sayid: Like the secret to a good wine, it also contains the meaning of life...Mmm, that's good material.
Windblume's Breath[]
- Sayid: Huh. Am I seeing things, or was that the General Mahamatra I just saw walking around Mondstadt...
- Sayid:...I must be seeing things. The General Mahamatra is always busy. How's he supposed to find the time to wander around Mondstadt!
- Sayid: Must be because I've been reading too much lately, triggering flashbacks to all the nerve-wracking research I had to do at the Akademiya...
