Dialogue
Quest DescriptionNoelle is mistaken for a Knight of Favonius several times over the course of the trip. After things have calmed down a little, you decide to stop by Third-Round Knocout and take a short break.
At Third-Round Knockout, you and Noelle meet a somewhat frustrated Iron Tongue Tian. To help him find his muse and write his new, knightly tale, Noelle agrees to help provide some source material.
After a whirlwind trip, Iron Tongue Tian seems to have finally finished his story. Intrigued, but also a little apprehensive, you and Noelle head to Third-Round Knockout to hear how the story turned out.

Emergency Story-Sourcing
- Iron Tongue Tian: Oh, you must be from Mondstadt?
- Iron Tongue Tian: Looking at your outfit, you don't seem to be an ordinary civilian. In which case, surely...
Here it comes.- Here we go again.
- Iron Tongue Tian: ...You must be an illustrious knight of Favonius!
- Iron Tongue Tian: Pardon my directness. My name is Iron Tongue Tian, and I was hoping that you could help me out...
- Noelle: Hold on, I'm really sorry...
- Noelle: ...I am not yet an official knight, but just a maid of the Knights of Favonius...
- Iron Tongue Tian: Uhh... Maid? Of the Knights? ...A Maid-Knight!
- Iron Tongue Tian: Now that is genuinely intriguing! Miss, if you're willing to help me out, I have every confidence that you will provide me with infinitely more source material than any other knight could!
- ...Source material?
- Iron Tongue Tian: As you can see, I have been a local storyteller here for a long time, and, well, my audience is starting to tire of hearing the same old stories over and over again...
- Iron Tongue Tian: When I saw this young lady show up just now, I was quite awestruck by her! So much so that I was suddenly inspired by the idea of writing a new book: "A Knight's Journey Through Liyue!"
- Iron Tongue Tian: However... inspiration is just the start, I still need some material to work with. Even the most ingenious storytellers don't just come up with stories out of thin air.
- Iron Tongue Tian: I do occasionally hear anecdotes about the Knights of Favonius doing the rounds here in Liyue, but they're mostly unreliable rumors, with everyone telling a different story. Far better to find an actual knight and see for myself!
- Noelle: But I... I am still not a knight yet...
- Iron Tongue Tian: Ah, don't worry about all that. As the saying goes, the story should by "inspired by life but larger than life." As the storyteller, I can change a detail or two here and add some dramatic effect there... y'know?
- Noelle: Honorary Knight... I am a little conflicted. What should I do...?
- Noelle: Although I should always lend a hand to anyone in need... It would be dishonest for me to pretend to be a real knight.
- It's not dishonest, you're just helping generate some ideas.
- Iron Tongue Tian: Haha! You understand me! Miss, rest assured that I will not put you in a difficult spot.
- Iron Tongue Tian: All I'm asking you to do is come with me to the countryside and show me some of your bladework. Let me see something new! I'll fill in all the other details... All within reason, of course.
- Noelle: Well... Okay then, if it's just providing initial source material...
- (Head to the hilichurl camp in the city's outskirts)
- Iron Tongue Tian: I heard earlier from the Millelith that some hilichurls have been wreaking havoc in the countryside. Ooh! Let's head over there...
- Iron Tongue Tian: This looks to be the place. Argh... But it seems our timing is off — the hilichurls are nowhere to be seen...
- Noelle: Oh... If the hilichurls are not around, does that mean you can't get any source material?
- Iron Tongue Tian: Not necessarily. Look at all the things they left here... Miss, why don't you use your greatsword to clean the place up?
- Noelle: Cleaning up? Well, that shouldn't be too difficult...
- Noelle: But the hilichurls could return at any moment. Mr. Tian, please find a safe location from which to observe.
- Iron Tongue Tian: Okay! "...The knight's meticulous mind attended to each and every detail of her duty with the utmost care and attention..." Ahaha, this is good, I can work with this. Very knightly...
- Noelle: Y—You're taking notes already!?
- (Cleaning up the hilichurl camp)
- Noelle: Cleaning up a camp... I guess I do this kind of thing all the time...
- Noelle: ...So it should be okay to include in your book...
- (Breaking an object)
- Iron Tongue Tian: Wonderful! I'll call this one... the "Indomitable Sword of Favonius"!
- (Breaking the last object at the hilichurl camp)
- Noelle: Oh no, the hilichurls are back! Mr. Tian, please, be careful!
- (After defeating opponents)
- Iron Tongue Tian: Sensational! I will call that one the "Impregnable Shield of Chivalry!"
- Iron Tongue Tian: Mm, yes... It's coming to now... "With the prescience of a prophet, the knight foresaw the precise moment of the hilichurls' return and promptly warned the commoners to take cover. Now, she stood alone as she drew her sword and strode forward to confront the enemy..."
- Iron Tongue Tian: This is all great material... It's just a pity that the only enemies are these hilichurls. Mm... It needs a little more oomph...!
- Iron Tongue Tian: I've got it! Would the two of you be able to give me some kind of mementos?
- Noelle: ...Mementos?
- Iron Tongue Tian: That's right, mementos! Though the story is a work of fiction, the more real it feels, the more engaging it will be...
- Iron Tongue Tian: Some sort of battle trophy to display before the audience — ooh — would really seal the deal...
- Noelle: Okay, um... So something like a hilichurl mask or an arrowhead...?
- Iron Tongue Tian: If it's all the same to you, uh... I was thinking more along the lines of... Maybe... a component from that Ruin Guard?
- Is this what you meant by "larger than life"?
- Is this what you meant by "dramatic effect"?
- Iron Tongue Tian: Yes, you've got it! You really understand where I'm coming from. I've heard that there's a very common component in Ruin Guards called the, uh... Chaos Device?
- Iron Tongue Tian: I—I should write down my new ideas before I forget them... Um, just hand the Chaos Device to me once you've managed to obtain it.
- (Talk to Iron Tongue Tian again)
- Iron Tongue Tian: If you could hand me that Chaos Device once you've managed to procure it, I'd be much obliged.
- (Give a Chaos Device to Iron Tongue Tian)
- Iron Tongue Tian: Oh! Such mighty power, so battered and bruised... Mm, haha... I just need to embellish it a little further and this will be perfect!
- Noelle: Embellish it... even further?
- Noelle: Hmm... Well, as long as I have been able to help you with your creative process...
- Iron Tongue Tian: Of course you have! Okay, I know where I'm going with this story now... I need to get back and start writing...
- Iron Tongue Tian: Oh, and if the two of you have any free time later, stop by Third-Round Knockout and you can hear me tell my new story!
- Noelle: I wonder how Mr. Tian's story will turn out in the end. For some reason... I have a bad feeling about it...
- Noelle: (Traveler), why don't we go back to Liyue Harbor and listen for ourselves?
- (Return to Third-Round Knockout and listen to the story)
- Iron Tongue Tian: ...With a roar like thunder, iron clashed with iron. Then, four gigantic fists came pounding into the ground with a force beyond what could be put into words... So colossal was their weight, and so earth-shattering their impact.
- Iron Tongue Tian: Such unthinkable power could easily cleave a stone peak right off the top of a mountain. Any ordinary human would either be torn to pieces in an instant, or at the very least suffer indescribable injuries...
- Iron Tongue Tian: ...But not so the knight from beyond the border. She did not flinch in the face of the flying iron fists, but sank instead into a low fighting stance... and with one swift sweep of her sword, the clash of metal erupted once more, as dust billowed all around...
- Iron Tongue Tian: Moments later, there was a deep and dull thud as the dust dispersed to reveal... two pairs of iron claws, lying lifeless on the ground. Such is the awesome power of the "Impregnable Shield of Chivalry," an esoteric martial technique practiced exclusively by the Knights of Mondstadt...
- Iron Tongue Tian: The knight barely had time to catch her breath before a dark shadow leaped up before her into the sky, blotting out the sun and turning day into night... It was... a Ruin Hunter!
- Iron Tongue Tian: But she was no ordinary knight, and in her heart, she declared: "I have nothing to fear!" With an almighty battle cry, she unleashed the Indomitable Sword of Favonius... Beams of golden light shone out in all directions, a gust of wind raced through the battlefield, sparks flew, and debris fell...
- Qian: One knight against two Ruin Guards... and a Ruin Hunter? Surely, that must be an exaggeration...
- Guanhai: Eh, I suppose these stories are supposed to be taken with a grain of salt...
- Noelle: Is this... about me? What is he talking about...?
- Noelle: No, this won't do! I must ask him to rewrite the story!
- It's fine. The audience isn't taking it seriously...
- Iron Tongue Tian: Hehe... Hard to believe? Then feast your eyes on this!
- Iron Tongue Tian: This is solid proof of the Maid-Knight's journey to Liyue! A fragment of a Ruin Guard's armor, cut from its carcass by a blow of her blade in the midst of her death-defying battle!
- Qian: ...That is a part of a Ruin Guard! A friend of a friend of a relative in the Millelith told me about these! Whoa...
- Guanhai: ...It's real, alright! Look at the cuts on it... Fresh from the battlefield!
- Noelle: I... I must explain to Mr. Tian...
- Noelle: Honesty... modesty... These are the virtues cherished by the Knights...
- Qian: Hey, will you look at that — that girl over there looks uncannily similar to the knight from the story...
- Guanhai: Oh, I'd say more than just similar... She's the spitting image! Oh, should we get an autograph? It's definitely her, the legendary Maid-Knight!
- Noelle: Uh... Huh?
- Noelle, let's get out of here!
- Noelle: Oh! Okay!
- Iron Tongue Tian: ...And so, the knight went west from Stone Gate with her sword in hand, and scaled the mountains of a vast new land...
- Iron Tongue Tian: A legend from the moment she set foot in Liyue, tales of the adventures of the Maid-Knight would be talked about for hundreds of generations... Stay tuned for the next chapter.
