Dialogue
Quest DescriptionYou bump into Kaeya, whom you first met during Stormterror's attack, at the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
- (Talk to Kaeya inside the Knights of Favonius Headquarters)
- Kaeya: This is bad... Such a hassle... What am I going to do...
What's wrong, Kaeya?- You don't usually lose your chill.
- Kaeya: Oh, thank the Thousand Winds! (Traveler), your arrival must be the grace of the gods!
- Kaeya: If I may ask — envoy sent by the Anemo God to save this mere mortal — could you spare a moment?
- Paimon: Ewwww, cut it out!
- Can't say I don't have time...
- Kaeya: Marvelous!
- Tell me what happened.
- Kaeya: I cannot let my peers hear about this! I cannot seek help from anyone else but you.
- Kaeya: Please, let us move to somewhere more fit for such conversations...
- Kaeya: Let's talk in the courtyard just outside the headquarters. Come with me.
- Paimon: What's with the sneakiness...
- (Approach Kaeya at the meeting spot)
- Kaeya: This place will do.
- Paimon: Tell us what it's about already!
- Kaeya: How should I begin... Oh, right, let me tell you a secret first.
- Kaeya: It's a secret of my past, and I confide in you to keep it.
- Paimon: Don't worry, Paimon's lips are sealed.
- Kaeya: As a matter of fact, my grandfather was a pirate!
- Paimon: Oh.
- Kaeya: ...Wait, why do you sound so blithe? Do you think I'm making it up?
- Kaeya: Look at my eye patch! I inherited it from my grandfather and this is solid proof that we are related by blood!
- I never knew you could inherit eye patches.
- Kaeya: My! (Traveler), how could you not know such common knowledge!
- Kaeya: This is no different from children inheriting their hairstyle from their parents!
- How surprising.
- Kaeya: Yesterday I was glancing through the notes my grandfather left and stumbled upon records that spoke of a treasure...
- Paimon: ...Treasure!?
- Kaeya: According to his notes, the treasure is buried in the "Lost Arcadian Ruins."
- Paimon: Treasure...
- Kaeya: But the location of the ruins is currently unknown. I've tried searching for clues...
- Paimon: Treasure!
- Paimon: Kaeya! What kind of treasure is it? Gold? Or better yet, gems!?
- Kaeya: Hmph! Treasures that consist of nothing but gold and gems are third-rate treasures...
- Kaeya: My grandfather's treasure is a sword!
- Kaeya: A magic sword that grants the wielder unrivaled power!
- Paimon: Oh wowwwww!
- Kaeya: The sword was dropped from Celestia into the sea by a god. It was later salvaged by my grandfather's crew by pure coincidence.
- Kaeya: The moment he gripped the sword, thunder roared, billows hollowed, and the clear skies were suddenly swallowed by raging winds...
- Kaeya: With the might of the magic sword, my grandfather went on to defeat a hydra, a silver-haired banshee, a wicked abyss dragon...
- Kaeya: But the immense power of the sword enticed many more greedy pirates.
- Kaeya: To avoid meaningless conflicts, my grandfather hid the magic sword.
- Eight-headed hydras, silver-haired banshees... Do they really exist?
- Kaeya: The world we live in is fascinating, full of unknown and inexplicable wonders.
- ...
- Kaeya: These incredibly thrilling adventures are romances that could only be told by pirates.
- Paimon: Holy moley! That's just insane!
- Kaeya: A gang of Treasure Hoarders has been very active lately and many ruins have had their relics stolen by them.
- Kaeya: I'm afraid that they will soon discover the Arcadian Ruins and the magic sword will be lost...
- Paimon: We won't let it fall into the wrong hands! We must get the sword before them.
- Paimon: You just rest assured that Paimon and (Traveler) are here to help!
- Kaeya: Wow~
- Kaeya: Great! Please keep it a secret. I'll wait for your good news!
- Paimon: Hey! So whatcha think, (Traveler)? Isn't it exciting? We're talking about a super-duper powerful sword!
- Is it true?
- Is it really, really true?
- Paimon: Well... let's go to the Adventurers' Guild and see if we can find out more.
- Paimon: The adventurers should know more about the ruins, right?
- (Talk to Kaeya again inside the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, optional)
- Kaeya: I'm a bit busy right now. Do try to find more... clues... You know what I mean.
- (Talk to Stanley outside of the Angel's Share tavern, optional)
- Stanley: I'm Stanley. Remember my name. You're also here for my stories, aren't you?
No. We're here for...- Paimon: Nope. We just want to know if you've been to the Arcadian Ruins?
- Stanley: Arcadian Ruins? Imagine that... So there are places that I haven't been to...
- Paimon: Oh? Even the great Stanley doesn't know?
- Stanley: Never mind this Arcadia... You need to know what happened to me on the Mare Jivari and in the Geyser Realm...
- Paimon: We don't have time for your stories. Think hard, please. We need clues.
- Stanley: The Mare Jivari... It was a place of death...
- Paimon: Gosh...
- Paimon: When we find the Arcadian treasure, our story will definitely be better than your stupid stories!
- (Now she's done it...)
- Stanley: Treasure...? Even Tales too?
- Paimon: Hmph! It's a waste of time talking to him. Let's go already.
- (Talk to Stanley again, optional)
- Tell me about the Arcadian Ruins
- Stanley: If you are not here for my stories, we have nothing to talk about.
- (Talk to Jack, optional)
- Jack: Hey! Are you a new adventurer? Wanna join my adventure team?
- I'd like to ask...
- Paimon: Hey! Do you have any intel on the Arcadian Ruins?
- Jack: Arcadian... Can't say I've heard of it. Sorry, I'm still new here, so...
- Paimon: Really...
- Jack: But you can try posting a commission and see if there are any adventurers who know about it.
- Paimon: That's a no-no! No way.
- Paimon: We can't afford them beating us to the treasure!
- (Now she's done it...)
- Jack: Really!?
- Jack: Well then, I'll keep a lookout for your treasure — I mean, your Arcadian Ruins.
- Paimon: Great! Thanks!
- (Talk to Jack again, optional)
- Tell me about the Arcadian Ruins
- Jack: Should I go look for it as well? Oh, I'm just joking. I hope you guys find it.
- (Talk to Cyrus)
- Cyrus: Hey, kiddo! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild!
- We're looking for...
- Paimon: Hmph! We're not here for something that boring!
- Paimon: We're looking for a sword that fell from Celestia... One that can kill eight-headed banshees and silver-haired hydras.
- Paimon: It's super, mega, uber powerful!
- It's eight-headed hydras and silver-haired banshees...
- Paimon: That's what Paimon said! It's a super epic sword!
- Paimon: Anyway, it's fine as long as Paimon doesn't tell them the treasure's location!
- You've said too much.
- Paimon: It's fine! As long as Paimon doesn't tell them the treasure's location!
- Paimon: So, Cyrus, do you know where the Lost Arcadian Ruins are supposed to be?
- (Now she's done it...)
- Cyrus: Arcadian Ruins... Never heard of them.
- Cyrus: Thanks for your intel anyway. If you do find these ruins, I'd love to see them.
- Paimon: Uh... my... intel...?
- ???: ...
- Paimon: Still no clues...
- Paimon: Well, it's not like it's gonna be easy! Come one, it's the hiding place of the super amazing sword!
- Paimon: Anyway, we should go meet up with Kaeya first.
- (Talk to Cyrus again, optional)
- Tell me about the Arcadian Ruins
- Cyrus: I am interested in your search, but I just don't have any intel for you.
- (Approach Kaeya at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters)
- Kaeya: Oh, you're back. Do you have news for me?
- Paimon: Listen, we asked around the Adventurers' Guild and found... Well, nothing.
- Kaeya: Haha... That much is expected.
- Paimon: Why is that?
- Kaeya: Oh, I only mean that, what's the fun in finding it without the hard work?
- Kaeya: However, I do have some clues.
- Kaeya: I sent someone to collect black market intel. It seems that someone does know about the Arcadian Ruins.
- Paimon: Really? Where's the guy?
- Kaeya: Now, now, as per the black market's rules, they will send someone to meet us to prevent leaks.
- Kaeya: We will be meeting the informant at the Whispering Woods.
- Paimon: Then, what are we waiting for?
- It's not ideal for Kaeya to show his face.
- Kaeya: That's right. You read my mind.
- Kaeya: I am a knight... so I shouldn't have any dealing with the black market.
- We'll get the intel back to you.
- Kaeya: You have my thanks.
- Kaeya: Of course, you'll be compensated for your troubles... by the Knights.
- Paimon: Ooh, no problemo!
