Quest Description

You encounter an anxious man from Fontaine in Sumeru City...

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Augustus Lovelace, optional): Augustus Lovelace: (Ugh, has Xavier fallen under the spell of Inazuma? I'm certain the Yashiro Commission knows nothing about films anyway...); Augustus Lovelace: (Couldn't he just slap together something for them and get out of there...?)

(Talk to Augustus Lovelace)

Augustus Lovelace: A-Achoo! The smell of these spices is just too... A-ACHOO!

Augustus Lovelace: I should just take a picture and go hide in my room...

Augustus Lovelace: Traveler! Hey! Traveler! Hold on a second!

Who, me?

What can I do for you?

Augustus Lovelace: I'd like your help with taking a picture, just one. It won't take long.

Augustus Lovelace: *sigh* It's embarrassing to admit, but the aroma of the spices here is a little too strong for me...

Augustus Lovelace: During my time in Fontaine, I never had food with even just a hint of spiciness, a pinch of salt is as much as I can take.

Augustus Lovelace: Here, I'm sneezing so much that— ACHOO! I can't even hold the Kamera steadily...

Augustus Lovelace: So, all I can do... is ask someone else to take a photo for me.

Augustus Lovelace: You certainly seem to be a kind person, so... I'd like to ask for your help.

You're from Fontaine?

Augustus Lovelace: Indeed. I'm very sorry that I forgot to introduce myself...

Augustus Lovelace: I'm Augustus Lovelace, a researcher from Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering.

Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering?

What kind of place is that?

Augustus Lovelace: It's a mouthful, isn't it? You can call it the Fontaine Research Institute, as most people in Fontaine do.

Augustus Lovelace: The Fontaine Research Institute used to be a paradise for researchers in Fontaine and where most mechanical creations originated.

Augustus Lovelace: But thanks to Mr. Edwin, most buildings in the Fontaine Research Institute are lying in ruin now...

Augustus Lovelace: And ever since Raimondo and Mr. Choiseul took over the reconstruction project, the spirit of research at the institute has been in freefall.

Augustus Lovelace: I have standards and prefer a tidy environment. I refuse to live in a pile of rubble, and so I've been traveling around.

Augustus Lovelace: Don't let my troubles spoil your mood, they have nothing to do with you.

Augustus Lovelace: Come on, please hurry and snap a photo for me. Once Xavier sees the beauty of Sumeru, there's no way he'll stay in Inazuma!

(If the player has completed Film Notes)

I've worked with Xavier...

Augustus Lovelace: You... Whoa! Are you the Traveler that Xavier told me about?

Augustus Lovelace: A pleasure! It's truly an honor to meet you! I've read all about your heroic feats in the Mikage Furnace from Xavier's letters.

Augustus Lovelace: And whenever Xavier talks about films in his letters, he always mentions your extraordinary acting skills!

Augustus Lovelace: He says you're fearless, noble, and most importantly, you have a great sense of humor!

Augustus Lovelace: Oh, once you've taken the photo, you must give me your autograph. It would be perfect if you signed the photo!

How is Xavier doing these days?

Augustus Lovelace: Well, to be honest... not great. He's anxious about his film, and based on his letters, he has been having trouble finding an interesting new subject lately.

Augustus Lovelace: I suggested that he should do as I did and take some time off in Sumeru.

Augustus Lovelace: But he keeps insisting that he must shoot the best possible film for the Yashiro Commission, and he refuses to leave Inazuma until it's done.

How did you get to know Xavier?

Augustus Lovelace: As you must be well aware, Xavier is a researcher from the Fontaine Research Institute. We used to work in the same laboratory, and he once gave me quite a bit of help.

Augustus Lovelace: He insisted on shooting a film and being the director. That wasn't a very popular idea in Fontaine Research Institute at the time.

Augustus Lovelace: Even after being assigned to other projects, he still continued shooting "dokumentari films" in the name of recording their research process.

Augustus Lovelace: Just like that, he went back and forth between projects and the laboratory until he was finally sent to Inazuma...

Augustus Lovelace: He's a very resourceful person. I'm certain that had he been born in the past, when funding was abundant and more fields of research were accepted, or been born in a brighter future, he would have accomplished great things...

About Xavier...

Augustus Lovelace: Xavier is a researcher from the Fontaine Research Institute. We used to work in the same laboratory, and he once gave me quite a bit of help.

Augustus Lovelace: He insisted on shooting a film and being the director. That wasn't a very popular idea in Fontaine Research Institute at the time.

Augustus Lovelace: Even after being assigned to other projects, he still continued shooting "dokumentari films" in the name of recording their research process.

Augustus Lovelace: Just like that, he went back and forth between projects and the laboratory until he was finally sent to Inazuma...

Augustus Lovelace: He's a very resourceful person. I'm certain that had he been born in the past, when funding was abundant and more fields of research were accepted, or been born in a brighter future, he would have accomplished great things...

Augustus Lovelace: That's enough of that. Come and take a photo of me. Right here will do.

(Talk to Augustus again): Augustus Lovelace: Have you taken my picture?; Not yet.; Augustus Lovelace: Oh, take your time. Taking a good photo is no easy task.

(Take a photo facing the sailing ship and Augustus): Paimon: That should do it, let's show him the photo!

(Talk to Augustus): Augustus Lovelace: Not bad indeed. You have a gift.; Augustus Lovelace: It's the first time in my travels that I've met someone with such control over composition and color.; Where have your travels taken you?; Augustus Lovelace: Ah, that, well... I could have come directly to Sumeru from Fontaine... after all, there's a line going straight to the Bayda Harbor in Sumeru.; Augustus Lovelace: But as they say, it's about the journey, not the destination. So I chose a... more interesting route.; Augustus Lovelace: First, I went from Lumidouce Harbor to Chenyu Vale, and then passed through Qingce Village on my way to the Stone Gate that separates Mondstadt from Liyue.; Augustus Lovelace: After stopping by Dawn Winery, I decided to head south and visit Liyue Harbor.; Augustus Lovelace: I embarked on a ferry to Port Ormos from Liyue Harbor, traveled northward along the river, and here I am standing before you.; Augustus Lovelace: After all, my goal is to relax. Were I a brave warrior with a passion for adventure...; Augustus Lovelace: ...I might have decided to set out from Romaritime Harbor and followed the ancient path of the pilgrims, heading southward into the desert.; Augustus Lovelace: Who knows? Maybe I'll try to cross the desert on the way back. Anyway, I've still got extra Mora to spend, and paying a visit to Natlan on the other side of the desert sounds nice too...; Augustus Lovelace: Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Thank you for helping me with the photo, please accept this as a token of my gratitude.; Augustus Lovelace: I'm off to write to Xavier. If he still won't come to Sumeru, then I might as well go back to Fontaine...
