Dialogue
- (Idle)
- Peregrine: The story of the sword... is quite fascinating.
- (Talk to Peregrine)
Before Setting Off...
Special Event
Before Setting Off...
Story Description: The seal on the second area has been broken, (WiseWise /
- Peregrine: We meet again! Did you rest well?
It's quiet here, so it's really nice.- Are you checking out the books here?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yeah, it's much more quiet here compared to New Eridu. It's really nice to relax! (SaySay /
SoSo), Mr. Peregrine... Are you looking through the books here? - Peregrine: That's right. Though the study is covered in dust, there's a couple of ancient texts about swords. As I have nothing to do at the moment, I thought I might as well look through them. Perhaps, they'll help jog my memory.
- Peregrine: So, are you two heading out today?
- Ye Shunguang: There's an area here that was just unsealed, so we're heading over to explore it.
- Peregrine: I see... Truth be told, today I also planned to head to the area you previously explored. Earlier, I recalled what I was looking for... it was my sword that I've lost, though I know not where...
- Peregrine: If my lost sword is not there, I'll head to the area you're planning to explore today. If you require my help, please, just say the word.
- Ye Shunguang: Okay, thanks, Shiyu– Ahem, Mr. Peregrine.
- Peregrine: Ahaha... I hope you remember who I am next time. Well then, good luck to all of us today.
- (Talk to "Shifu")
- "Shifu": You're here. Did you rest well?
- Ye Shunguang: Yeah! Even though we're in the Hollow, I don't feel much Ether Corruption no matter how long we stay... This place is truly amazing.
- "Shifu": This is a Hidden Realm, nothing like your regular space. If that's hard to wrap your head around, just think of it as one massive safe house.
- "Shifu": Back to business. As mentioned before, the seal in the second area of the Hidden Realm has already started to weaken. You can head to the second area to search for the next sword.
- "Shifu": Once you're ready, I'll break the seal for you.
- Let's head out now!
- "Shifu": You've got some real drive there. But heads up, the moment you step into a new area, unpredictable changes might kick in that no one can see coming... Watch yourselves.
- "Shifu" raises her hand and dispels the seal on the archway. In an instant, the clear sky turns dark with heavy clouds, thunder and lightning crackles, and rain threatens to swallow the entire Hidden Realm...
- (Upon entering combat)
- Ju Fufu...?: Not good enough... You should've trained harder! Again!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That voice... and that small frame... that's Senior Fufu, isn't it? But she seems unusually intense today...That voice... and that small frame... that's Senior Fufu, isn't it? But she seems unusually intense today... Tooltip for That voice... and that small frame... that's Senior Fufu, isn't it? But she seems unusually intense today...ⓘ /
That voice... and that tiny frame... that's definitely Senior Fufu, right? But why does she look so intense today...?That voice... and that tiny frame... that's definitely Senior Fufu, right? But why does she look so intense today...?) - Ye Shunguang: Let's hurry and see what's going on.

Grim Tiger
Special Event
Grim Tiger
Story Description: In the pouring rain, (WiseWise /
- You defeat the Ethereals, go through the archway, and attempt to find the girl who looks like Ju Fufu. As you're looking around, sharp claws suddenly come pouncing toward you...
- Ye Shunguang: Watch out, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)! - Xiao'Guang quickly activates the sword case, blocking the ambush.
- Ju Fufu...?: Who are you people! And why are you following me?!
- (She looks like Senior Fufu...)
- (But this girl is way fiercer...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (She looks exactly like Senior Fufu... but way more fierce. Definitely not someone you'd (want towant to /
wannawanna) mess with...) - Ju Fufu...?: Staying silent? You're looking down on me... Enough talk then! That you trespassed here shows your ill intent. Draw your sword!
- Ye Shunguang: Wait! We're sorry, we didn't come here with ill intentions, and we swear we're not bad people! We just saw you fighting here and wanted to talk...
- Ju Fufu...?: ...Hmph. Very well. I feel no malice from you. This is a secret tiger Thiren training area... How did you two get in?
- (Isn't this the Qingming Realm?)
- (What's with this "tiger Thiren training area"?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Isn't this the Qingming Realm? What's with this "tiger Thiren training area"? (HmHm)... Looks like we've been pulled into her story. Guess we'll just have to play along for now.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We meant no offense. We're an investigator and a Proxy who stumbled upon this place by accident, and we're currently trying to find a way out. There's a lot of Ethereals around, so... mind if we tag along? Safety in numbers, right?
- Ju Fufu...?: You're lost? Simply turn back the way you came and keep walking along the path. Even if you can't get out, you will likely run into my kin; they can guide you.
- Ju Fufu...?: I still have important matters to attend to. I've no time to play tour guide and bodyguard for you. If you run into other tiger Thirens, tell them that Grim Tiger has given the order to escort you out. Well then, farewell.
- Ye Shunguang: Grim Tiger...!
- Grim Tiger: ...What? You've heard that name before? It isn't my real name, simply a title I use to keep evildoers in check. You are no evildoer, so there is no need to fear me.
- Grim Tiger: I must be going. Don't delay me any further.
- The cold little tiger Thiren calling herself "Grim Tiger" vanishes into the pouring rain.
- Ye Shunguang: (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), I've heard the name "Grim Tiger" from Senior Fufu when we sparred before! - Ye Shunguang: According to her, Grim Tiger was a famous, powerful tiger Thiren who was active a decade ago. Senior Fufu's own Tiger Seven Forms comes from Grim Tiger's martial arts techniques combined with Yunkui Summit's techniques.
- A figure from a decade ago...
- She must be the master of the second sword.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So (this person'sthis person's /
she'sshe's) from over a decade ago... The timeline's jumped way back. (From the sound of it, she must beFrom the sound of it, she must be / Sounds like she'sSounds like she's) the wielder of the second blade. - Ye Shunguang: *sigh* I should've paid attention to Senior Fufu when she told me about her legendary stories. Ugh... Why was I zoning out at Senior Fufu's soft, fluffy tail! I have no idea how the story will unfold now...
- Ye Shunguang: Anyway, let's catch up to her and see what happens next.
- Master... Grim Tiger...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hmm... "Master Grim Tiger"...
- Ye Shunguang: That look on your face... you're totally thinking what I'm thinking, right? With a name like that, that master's gotta be pretty fierce and intimidating.
- But with Senior Fufu's adorable face, it's impossible to take her seriously...
- (Upon entering combat)
- Grim Tiger: You can't even take down something this weak with all your fancy kungfu...? Move! I'll show you how it's done!
- Tiger Thiren: I'm spent... I can't keep fighting... Even if we make it past this thing, we'll never clear the deeper trials...
- Grim Tiger: ...Enough talking! Focus on the fight!
- (Idle)
- Tiger Thiren: Does any of this even mean anything...
- (Talk to the Tiger Thiren)
The Tigerbane Bell War
Special Event
The Tigerbane Bell War
Story Description: Having witnessed Grim Tiger's dispute with her clan members, her true objective here is finally revealed — she must pass the trial to overturn the clan's decision to use the Tigerbane Bell.
- Tiger Thiren: There's no way we can defeat it... Let's just give up!
- Grim Tiger: If you came all the way here just to whine, you might as well crawl back home and hide under your blanket. Get up. We're not done yet!
- Tiger Thiren: No... That Ethereal from earlier already broke one of my arms. I really can't keep fighting anymore. Look — the others are in bad shape too. It's not just me!
- Grim Tiger: That's what happens when you skip your training! Right now is when we decide the fate of our clan... Or do you plan to let those shortsighted fools run everything?
- Tiger Thiren: But maybe they're right... If this is all the strength we'll ever get as tiger Thirens, maybe taking that power isn't so bad after all. Unless we can stay away from the Hollows...
- Grim Tiger: ...Coward. Backing down at a time like this? Look me in the eye and say that again!
- Stop it! No need to get violent!
- You should talk this out!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Stop fighting!Stop fighting! /
Stop right there!Stop right there!) I don't know what's going on, but (please calm down firstplease calm down first / you two need to calm downyou two need to calm down)! - Grim Tiger: You're the ones... who were wandering around here earlier...
- Grim Tiger: Didn't I tell you not to get in my way? I already showed you the path out. Why are you still tailing me?
- Ye Shunguang: We're just a little worried about you. Would you mind telling us about what happened? Maybe we can help!
- Grim Tiger: This is an internal matter among our clan. It has nothing to do with you. Stop asking.
- Tiger Thiren: The Tigerbane Bell... It's all because of the Tigerbane Bell!
- Grim Tiger: Hey! Keep your mouth shut!
- (Tigerbane Bell... Senior Fufu mentioned it before!)
- (That's the tiger Thirens' forbidden artifact!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The Tigerbane Bell... I've heard of that name from a tiger Thiren I know(wellwell)! It's a forbidden artifact, one that gains power by devouring its own kin... Is that right?
- Grim Tiger: ...Ugh. So some big mouth just couldn't keep a secret. Even that information got out?
- Tiger Thiren: The Bell was made long ago by one of our ancestors. They were inspired by the Void Hunters' weapons and wanted to create something that could give our clan a power that could rival theirs.
- Tiger Thiren: But for some reason, the finished bell carried a flaw none of the Void Hunters' weapons had, it could only be activated if we sacrificed one of our own. From the moment it was created, it's been sealed away.
- Tiger Thiren: But Hollow disasters in Eridu have been getting worse lately... For us tiger Thirens who go in and out of the Hollows all the time, it's a terrible sign.
- Tiger Thiren: Some elders say the next calamity is near. Although our numbers are growing, we still don't have enough power to fight against what's to come. So they are considering reactivating the Tigerbane Bell.
- That's insane!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That's so unreasonable! No one should have to die just so that someone else can get stronger — (no oneno one /
a persona person) should ever be the price for power! - Grim Tiger: Hmph. Seems you've got more conscience than most of my shortsighted kin.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That's so unreasonable! No one should have to die just so that someone else can get stronger — (no oneno one /
- But what does that have to do with you being here?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): How can someone do that? But still... (why come here?why come here? /
why do you have to come here to solve the problem?why do you have to come here to solve the problem?) This is the training grounds for Tiger Thirens, right? - Grim Tiger: Do I really have to spell it out for you?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): How can someone do that? But still... (why come here?why come here? /
- Grim Tiger: The ones who oppose the reactivation of the Bell made a deal with the ones who wanna use it. If we can prove the tiger Thirens can get stronger without the Bell, they'll drop the whole idea. That's why we're taking on these trials.
- Tiger Thiren: But you keep fighting alone! You even threw your best sword into the deepest part of the training grounds! How are we supposed to beat that final Ethereal without it?
- Grim Tiger: We have to shut those supporters up for good! If I used my sword or relied on anyone else, they'd find excuses to drag this out even longer.
- Tiger Thiren: But think about it! You're the strongest of us all, and even you've failed six times! This is your seventh try! Just look at all of your injuries!
- Tiger Thiren: Is it possible that... we just don't have what it takes to protect ourselves without the help of something powerful like the Bell?
- Grim Tiger: If you've come to think that as well... Just take the intruders and leave. I can handle the fight on my own.
- A look of disappointment crosses Grim Tiger's face. Without a word, she turns around and runs into the distance, disappearing into the rain. Her fellow tiger Thiren stands there in dejection, unsure what to do.
- Ye Shunguang: Junior, did you hear Grim Tiger left her best sword in the deepest parts of this place? Maybe that's the sword we're looking for! Let's try to catch up to her!
- (Upon entering the next area)
- Grim Tiger: I... I must become stronger...
- Ye Shunguang: Wait! I get that you're desperate... but pushing yourself like this... It's too much!
- (While travelling)
- Ye Shunguang: Could you just stop and talk to us for a minute? Maybe we can help you.
- Grim Tiger: No time for that. Besides... I've got to prove I can handle this on my own. I don't need anyone's help.
- Ye Shunguang: ...
- (After defeating the Miasmic - Autonomous Support Unit - Terror Raptor)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (And just like that, she's gone... Let's follow her!And just like that, she's gone... Let's follow her! /
And just like that, she's gone... Let's follow her!And just like that, she's gone... Let's follow her!) - Ye Shunguang: Wait... Can we stop here for a moment?
- (Upon approaching the cliffside)
- Ye Shunguang: When Grim Tiger was fighting just now, I noticed her looking into the distance from time to time. It seems like she was keeping an eye on the weather and landscape...
- Ye Shunguang: If what Shifu said is true, the weather here is a direct reflection of the swordmasters' mood... Could there also be a storm in the heart of Grim Tiger?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): She said if she couldn't gain her kin's recognition, then the Tigerbane Bell might be used again... That's enough to make anyone's mood as grim as this storm.
- Ye Shunguang: No, what I'm sensing isn't just a grim mood... It's more of a darkness that is about to blur everyone's vision.
- Ye Shunguang: Causing her not to be able to see the goal ahead, where her companions are, and what's at the end of that road...
- Ye Shunguang: I think she may have created this rain for herself through her desire for power. And in this rain, she no longer needs to think about these things... It doesn't matter if she gets lost, as long as she keeps fighting.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But that would never be the right choice... Countless people have lost their minds, consumed by the thirst for power.
- Ye Shunguang: I kind of sympathize with her... If the body wielding the sword isn't strong enough, protecting companions and eradicating evil is only a pipe dream.
- Ye Shunguang: ...I feel the same way when facing overwhelming enemies. I must do everything I can to become stronger... otherwise, I won't be able to protect you or everyone else.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Xiao'Guang, you don't have to carry these burdens all by yourself!
- Ye Shunguang: I understand. Junior, thanks to you, I don't have such self-righteous thoughts anymore... If the reason you wield your blade is to protect others, then the moment you turn your back on your companions is when you lose the right to be a swordmaster.
- Ye Shunguang: ...I hope that, as a fellow swordmaster, Grim Tiger can also realize this. There are always companions watching and waiting for her in the direction of her blade... We can't let her stray further and lose sight of what really matters — her heart.
- Ye Shunguang: That's why we have to catch up with her as soon as possible.
- (While travelling)
- Ye Shunguang: So many Ethereals here... Are they all from Grim Tiger?
- Peregrine: That voice... it's...
- Peregrine: You two, this way! Please, hurry!
- (Talk to Peregrine)
- Peregrine: Phew... Ah, you two. You finally made it.
- Ye Shunguang: The Peregrine? What brought you here? Are all these slain Ethereals your doing?
- Peregrine: Yes. You two said you could handle any unexpected situation, but I think the Ethereals here are highly dangerous. There is strength in numbers... I couldn't help but come and lend a hand.
- Peregrine: I've cleared out all the Ethereals here. It's amazing... I can't remember anything else. Only the sensation of battle feels alive in my veins...
- Peregrine: If you don't mind, please allow me to tag along. After sitting in the study reading for so long, I could use the chance to move around.
- Ye Shunguang: Thank you, Mr. Peregrine... but you still haven't recovered your memories, and you don't even have your sword. Fighting like this is risky... leave the combat to me.
- Peregrine: I understand your concern... but my body still remembers the motions from fighting countless Ethereals. When it comes to protecting you, I should still be able to help.
- Thanks for the thought, but...
- Having Xiao'Guang here is enough.
- Peregrine: Is that so...? This place might be more dangerous than you imagine. I can't help but worry...
- Ye Shunguang: (HeHe /
SheShe) might not be too familiar with combat yet... I've studied magic techniques for years, and while I may not be an expert, I can definitely hold my own in a fight! There's no need to worry too much about us! - Peregrine: Alright... since you both insist, I guess you don't need me hovering around all the time... I'll scout ahead. If there's any trouble up front, I'll take care of it for you.
- The "Peregrine" hesitates for a moment, then bows and leaves. He still seemed unsure about Xiao'Guang's abilities...
- Ye Shunguang: Mr. "Peregrine" seems a little too worried... Let's keep moving forward!
- A sudden roar from an Ethereal echoes nearby.
- Ye Shunguang: I see we still have some stragglers... Get out of the way!
- (Upon entering combat)
- Ye Shunguang: Let's finish this quickly.
- (While travelling)
- Peregrine: Looks like the path ahead is blocked...
- Peregrine: Guess we'll have to find a way through the maze. Don't worry, leave it to me.
- (Talk to Peregrine)
- Peregrine: You two, I've been waiting here this whole time... did something happen?
- A few Ethereals slipped past.
- Peregrine: What...? I didn't clear out all the roaming threats?! Were you caught by them?
- Don't worry.
- Xiao'Guang handled all of them.
- Peregrine: I–I see. Well, since you're both standing here, the Ethereals clearly didn't hurt you... looks like you weren't exaggerating, you really do have remarkable combat skills.
- Peregrine: But there are obstacles you can't overcome with strength alone. Those Mini Cargo Trucks in front of us are a perfect example.
- Peregrine: On my way here, I ran into an injured Thiren woman... she said this place was their trial grounds, right? So this must be part of the trial too.
- Ye Shunguang: You mean...
- Peregrine: Most of these Mini Cargo Trucks are probably disguised Ethereals called Fisher Crabs. If you open the wrong one, they'll attack.
- Peregrine: If my guess is right, only one of these Mini Cargo Trucks is real. Find it, and the seal here should release automatically.
- Peregrine: Actually, I know how to tell a Fisher Crab from a Mini Cargo Truck...
- Ye Shunguang: Mr. Peregrine, your thinking is so clear...! So we just need to find the Mini Cargo Truck whose side light isn't constantly green, right?
- Peregrine: ...Wait, you know how to tell them apart?
- Ye Shunguang: Yes. I fell into a Fisher Crab trap once while investigating the Hollow... To avoid repeating that, I made sure to study their habits and characteristics.
- Peregrine: I–I see... then I guess there's nothing I can contribute here...
- Ye Shunguang: Mr. Peregrine, please don't say that! You've already helped us a lot, and there's something else we'd like to ask of you...
- Peregrine looks a bit down. Wanting to find something he could help with, Xiao'Guang secretly shoots you a pleading look.
- That Thiren you just met.
- Can you bring her here?
- Ye Shunguang: Junior's right! We might need her help to talk some sense into a certain someone... But she's injured now and probably can't make it here on her own. Could you help us bring her over?
- Peregrine: Alright... sure thing. I'll make sure she's safe, and in return, you two better watch out and don't get hurt!
- The "Peregrine" nods and heads off in the direction as before. Now, it's time to deal with those Mini Cargo Trucks. Only truck is the right one... Let's hope Xiao'Guang's method works in identifying it.
- (Three Mini Cargo Trucks are presented. Of the three, two of them have green lights where one of them has orange lights. The truck with the orange lights is the commission objective.)
- (Upon opening the correct truck)
- Ye Shunguang: Perfect! The information I gathered was spot on... I was actually worried I'd make a fool of myself if I got it wrong... Anyway, let's keep moving forward!
- (Idle)
- Grim Tiger: Damn it... I can't fall here...
- (Talk to Grim Tiger)
Core Aspiration of the Sword
Special Event
Core Aspiration of the Sword
Story Description: (WiseWise /
- The girl who calls herself the "Grim Tiger" is standing there, exhausted. You can see several recent wounds marking her body. It's not hard to deduce that this is the last of the trials that the Thirens were talking about. She had just entered and was defeated, with no choice but to retreat.
- Grim Tiger: ...
- Grim Tiger: So you followed me all the way here... I have to admit, you're persistent.
- Ye Shunguang: Grim Tiger, you won't be able to pass this trial if you fight alone. Let us help you face this final test.
- Grim Tiger: I appreciate you wanting to help after hearing about the Tigerbane Bell... But what I need is strength, not help from others.
- Grim Tiger: Only when I have the strength to silence everyone myself will my views be accepted... The Tigerbane Bell is a forbidden weapon that should never be used again. Everything else is meaningless.
- So even companions are meaningless, too?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So the one who once took up arms for her fellow Tiger Thirens... now thinks even her companions don't matter?
- So even your aspirations are meaningless, too?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Have you forgotten why you chose to fight? Do you really want to abandon your companions for the sake of becoming stronger?!
- Grim Tiger: Fancy words mean nothing, only results will convince the elders of our Tiger clan! I don't expect outsiders like you to understand my feelings... but don't try to persuade me otherwise.
- Ye Shunguang: Junior (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) is right. If the path you take is contrary to your original goal... Then it's definitely not the right path. - Ye Shunguang: Fighting is the only thing you can see now. Everything else will become a foothold for them, including your Tiger Thiren kin. In your heart, you've resented them many times for holding you back... haven't you?
- Grim Tiger: ...
- Grim Tiger: ...I can see it in your eyes — you crave strength just as much as I do. Since we're after the same thing, what's the point of all this talk?
- Ye Shunguang: Yes, we are just like you. We all want to be stronger. Otherwise, you won't be able to protect the things you cherish, or your companions...
- Xiao'Guang suddenly grabs your hand. You gently grip her hand in response.
- Ye Shunguang: But I know this for sure... I can become stronger with him by my side! If you still remember how you felt when you fought alongside your companions, then you should understand what I mean!
- Ye Shunguang: The path that lets you overcome everything won't be as blurred as this rain. At the very least... you'll be able to see your true feelings right beside you.
- Grim Tiger: Maybe you're right... All I wanted was to crush everything in my way with overwhelming strength. But that doesn't seem to be my style at all...
- Grim Tiger seems to be moved and lowers her head in disappointment. Although she doesn't say anything, you can still feel her regret for abandoning her companions on the battlefield. But then, you hear footsteps behind you.
- Peregrine: Hey, you two. I've brought you that Tiger Thiren you mentioned!
- Tiger Thiren: Grim Tiger, are you okay? I'm sorry. I wanted to catch up with you, but I couldn't handle those Ethereals... Luckily, this kind-hearted gentleman escorted me here!
- Grim Tiger: What are you doing...?!
- Tiger Thiren: Sorry, I must have disappointed you... We were on the same side, but I gave up hope.
- Tiger Thiren: We practiced martial arts together and swore to protect our people. I never forgot that promise! If possible, please let me fight by your side again, Grim Tiger!
- Grim Tiger: There's no way you can keep fighting with your injuries. Let's forget about taking on the trial together for now.
- Grim Tiger: Next time... no, from today on, I'll be trusting you with my life in every battle.
- Tiger Thiren: Alright, you have a deal!
- Grim Tiger: Thank you for your help, strangers. As you can see, I've abandoned my sword. And at this stage, I won't be able to pass the trial alone... Could you lend me a hand?
- Ye Shunguang: Of course! Looks like you've figured out where you should go now.
- Peregrine: I'll stay here and protect the wounded Tiger Thiren. Please don't worry, just focus on the battle.
- Grim Tiger: To be honest, I'm not sure if this is the best for the future of our kin... But the moment I decided to fight alongside these companions of mine, I felt a lot better.
- Grim Tiger: Now, let's use this positive energy to teach that Ethereal a lesson!
- (Interact with the Ancient Sword Altar)
- A formidable enemy lies ahead... Want to adjust and enhance your abilities before entering combat?
Face the powerful enemy- Go enhance abilities
- (Upon entering combat)
- Grim Tiger: Teaming up with others may not prove that I can handle these monsters alone...
- Grim Tiger: But at least it shows that I never forgot what my sword is meant to protect!
- Grim Tiger: I'll always fight side by side with my kin and my friends! Whether it's battling Ethereals or the ominous Tigerbane Bell...
- Grim Tiger: So don't you dare underestimate our strength! These lives are not yours to take!
- (Idle from outside the combat area)
- Peregrine: ...Don't hold back, jump right into the combat!
- Tiger Thiren: Come on... Get through this trial!
- (Interact with the Sword Memory)
- After the Ethereal falls and the second sword appears, Xiao'Guang absorbs it without hesitation.
Once the battle is over, everyone regroups... - Tiger Thiren: We did it... Grim Tiger, we've passed the trial!!!
- Grim Tiger: Keep your voices down, you're hurting my ears...
- Grim Tiger: But you're right. Now that the storm has cleared, we really did defeat that Ethereal. Thank you... without your help, I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own.
- Ye Shunguang: We only gave you a little push. You've always known which way your sword should point and what you're fighting for... so I'm sure you can get through this trial.
- Grim Tiger: Don't make a big deal out of it, it's embarrassing... Anyway, now I can bargain with those who want to ring the Tigerbane Bell! At least I've proved power doesn't have to come at others' expense.
- Tiger Thiren: I'll go with you and talk to those stubborn old men too! Even if it means falling out with them, I'll stand by you!
- Grim Tiger: You're being melodramatic. Negotiations don't need to turn hostile. They want to protect their people, we want the same thing.
- Grim Tiger: By the way, what happened to that well-mannered man who brought you here? The fight is over, where did he go?
- Tiger Thiren: He watched the whole battle from the side, then slipped away quietly... he asked me to tell you he'd returned to the main hall.
- Ye Shunguang: Mr. Peregrine... did something urgent come up?
- Xiao'Guang's question goes unanswered. Like Big Pan, Grim Tiger and her kin freeze mid-motion and vanish in a flash of light.
- Ye Shunguang: They're gone too... so the swordmaster Grim Tiger's tale ends here, for now.
- I want to know what happens next.
- Ye Shunguang: Me too... I imagine she continued on as the Thiren's greatest warrior? I should've paid more attention when Senior Fufu told the story...
- Ye Shunguang: Anyway, let's head back to the main hall. I'm a bit worried about Mr. Peregrine... if we leave now we might still catch up with him.
- Alright, let's go!
- (Obtain Moonrise Over the Pines: Grim Tiger)
- A "Grim Tiger" Memory Shard obtained through fierce battle.
- (Idle)
- Peregrine: ...
- (Talk to Peregrine)
- Peregrine: ...
- Ye Shunguang: Mr. Peregrine, found you at last! What happened just now? Why'd you slip away without a word...
- Peregrine: Ah, you two... Sorry for making you worry. Watching you fight stirred up some hazy memories, and I needed a moment to process them... Thanks for your concern.
- Did you remember something?
- Peregrine: Hmm... Miss Shunguang is a lot more fierce and decisive in a fight than I imagined. Her combat skills might even surpass mine...
- Peregrine: ...I recalled some defeats in battle. I guess I wasn't particularly strong before I lost my memories, maybe even rather powerless.
- Ye Shunguang: I'm still just a rookie swordsman with a lot to learn... So, please don't say that, Mr. Peregrine! You've helped us so much today!
- Peregrine: Sorry, I got a little carried away there... Anyway, your expressions tell me that you've achieved what you set out to do. Congratulations.
- Peregrine: If you don't mind, let's head back to the main hall to rest.
- (Talk to "Shifu")
- "Shifu": You're back... hm, looks like you did well today.
- "Shifu": Perfect timing, come see this. It's a small change... brought on by your efforts.
- Ye Shunguang: This... the statue that was just a vague outline has suddenly taken the shape of a monkey?
- "Shifu": I told you to find a way to make the sculpture open a path. Looks like you've taken the first step.
- Ye Shunguang: Wait... this monkey looks oddly familiar... I feel like I've seen it before!
Mystery of the Three Monkeys
Special Event
Mystery of the Three Monkeys
Story Description: After obtaining the second sword, (WiseWise /
- Ye Shunguang: Monkey statue holding binoculars... I know where I've seen it before!
- In the outer courtyard at Suibian Temple!
- The one with the three monkeys!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I remember now... At Suibian Temple's outer courtyard, on the left side facing the main gate, there's a statue with three monkeys. Both the structure and the look of the monkeys are identical to this one!
- Peregrine: Suibian Temple...?
- Ye Shunguang: That's where our sect is based in the Throne Quarter — or, well, in the whole Waifei.
I never understood what that statue meant... Could it really be connected to some secret of the Qingming Sword? - "Shifu": So there's one like this at the temple, too. Not surprising. Every Yunkui Summit base has one — it's a tradition set by the first High Preceptor.
- "Shifu": Anyway, looks like you've already solved one of the statue's puzzles without even realizing it. Congrats.
- Ye Shunguang: I wonder what we did to make this monkey show its true form. Is it because we've now fought enough battles?
- "Shifu": Not everything's about fighting. Keep thinking that way and you'll become too obessed. And a puzzle stops being a puzzle once you overexplain it. As for what the monkeys — or the Qingming Sword — want to test you on, that's something you'll have to figure out yourself.
- Ye Shunguang: Junior, do you remember what the other two monkeys in the temple courtyard looked like?
- One's wearing a pair of headphones.
- One's holding a megaphone.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let me think... I remember one wearing headphones, and the other one holding a megaphone!
- Peregrine: I see... I hear some sects follow the rule of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" to stay focused in training. Looks like we flipped that around at Yunkui Summit.
- Peregrine: The "seeing" monkey went back in place without us even noticing... What about "hearing" and "speaking"? This is tricky...
- Peregrine: Please excuse me, everyone. I think we might be able to find some useful information in the study here. I'll have a quick look and let you know if I find anything.
- The man who calls himself "Peregrine" leaves the main hall with great interest and disappears into the study, while "Shifu" stretches lazily before wandering off into the courtyard.
- Ye Shunguang: Why are they even more into this than we are... He's kind of like my brother. Once he decides on something, he dives right in.
- Now there's only one sword left.
- Right behind this statue...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So, the second sword has also turned into Sword Will and has been (retrievedretrieved /
reclaimedreclaimed). (Only one sword remains now, andOnly one sword remains now, and / One last sword to go now! AndOne last sword to go now! And) it's hidden behind this statue... - Ye Shunguang: Yeah. We'll be able to know how to surppress the Qingming Sword's corruption.
- Ye Shunguang: ...
- Xiao'Guang looks kind of worried...)
- (Looks like she's worried if there's actually a way to do that...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Don't worry, Xiao'Guang. (We've made it this far together. No matter what lies ahead,We've made it this far together. No matter what lies ahead, /
Just like before, we've come this far together, and whatever lies ahead,Just like before, we've come this far together, and whatever lies ahead,) I'll face it with you. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): We're now living through the stories of other swordmasters, witnessing the choices they made. I'm sure their courage will (inspire us, strengthening usinspire us, strengthening us /
become ours too, giving us strengthbecome ours too, giving us strength) while we walk our own path. - Ye Shunguang: Thank you, Junior. No matter what answer the Qingming Sword will give me in the end, I'm ready to face it. For now, let's rest. We'll need our strength for what comes next.
- Meanwhile, in the study nearby...
- "Shifu": So... you wanted to see me. What for?
- Peregrine: Shifu, you're still hiding something, aren't you? From me, and from them. Secrets about this place... and who you really are.
- "Shifu": *chuckles* You're sharp, young one. Looks like I made a mistake letting you poke around this study.
- Peregrine: So I was right about it. In that case, I have a favor to ask.
- Ye Shunguang: I guess we've reached a new stage in our exploration here... Hey Junior, should we double-check our current progress? We haven't missed anything, right?
