Trifolium Chapter: Act I
True Treasure
Customers at the Angel's Share have started debating the hottest topic on Mondstadt's streets: "Who is the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?"
Talk to Patton about recent conversation topics
Patton:
*sigh* Shame I only get to listen in from the other side of the window and don't get to join in the debate. I'd love to give my two cents...
Paimon:
Say what? What's up, what's up? Paimon wants in!
Patton:
Recently, all the customers at the tavern have been debating the exact same topic: "Who is the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?"
Paimon:
The strongest fighter?
Paimon:
Must be someone who can floor a whole gang of hilichurls with just one punch!
Paimon:
Wow... then it really must be tough to become the strongest of all.
Paimon:
But anyway... Is there, like, a general agreement in the city on who it is, or...?
Patton:
Hah. Expecting people to come to a swift and straightforward consensus in the City of Freedom is like expecting Fisherman's Toast to drop out of the sky.
Patton:
Everyone's got their own opinion, backed up by a unique set of cherry-picked information... But let's be honest, that's what makes the discussion so impassioned and entertaining.
Patton:
Mainstream opinion is polarized, with most people supporting one of two candidates.
Patton:
One is the Dandelion Knight, the other is the Darknight Hero.
Paimon:
Paimon votes for you!
Paimon:
But let's go into the tavern and talk to the patrons. Maybe we'll pick up some juicy gossip.
Patton:
Oh, I do envy your life of leisure...
Patton:
But don't mind me, of course. *sigh* I guess I'll just... get back to work.
Ask tavern patrons about the strongest fighter in Mondstadt
Jack:
Who's the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
Jack:
You want to know who I think the toughest fighter is?
Jack:
In my opinion, that would be the finest adventurer of them all — Stanley.
Jack:
Guild Master Cyrus is up there with the toughest, too, but only Stanley can take on the bloodthirsty beasts of the Mare Jivari!
Paimon:
Bloodthirsty beasts of the Mare Jivari? Sounds terrifying!
Paimon:
D'you reckon you'd be scared if you were faced with one of those?
Paimon:
Yeah! Bam, wham, pow!
Ask tavern patrons about the strongest fighter in Mondstadt
Bruce:
Who's the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
Bruce:
Er... *hic* The strongest fighter of them all?
Bruce:
That would be Jean, obviously! *hic*
Bruce:
Why? Grand Master Jean is so strong... she can take out a Ruin Guard with just a few slashes of her sword. *hic*
Bruce:
And she could wipe out the three hilichurl tribes at Dadaupa Gorge all by her... *hic* self.
Bruce:
Otherwise, we wouldn't have such a carefree existence... with nothing to do...
Paimon:
It's true that Jean makes people feel they're in safe hands.
Paimon:
Meanwhile, this guy is drunk as a skunk!
Ask tavern patrons about the strongest fighter in Mondstadt
Charles:
Who's the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
Charles:
The strongest fighter? I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing...
Paimon:
Huh. Paimon thought bartenders had some kind of special information sources.
Traveler:
Just like they have an exclusive supplier of wine?
Paimon:
Exactly! That's what Paimon was getting at.
Charles:
I have no involvement in any intelligence-gathering operation.
Charles:
But if you made me pick someone, it would be the Darknight Hero.
Charles:
I've heard some stories about him. Apparently, he once rescued a city dweller from the Abyss Order.
Paimon:
There it is — the barman's top-secret intelligence!
Paimon:
Speaking of the Abyss Order, their minions are really stirring up trouble all over the place, aren't they?
Ask tavern patrons about the strongest fighter in Mondstadt
Six-Fingered José:
Who's the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
Six-Fingered José:
Eh? The most macho in Mondstadt?
Six-Fingered José:
...She's a little girlie who wears red.
Traveler:
A girl dressed in red?
Six-Fingered José:
That's right! I found this out one day about half a month ago, when I went to the Stormbearer Mountains looking for inspiration for my new song.
Six-Fingered José:
Guess what happened?
Paimon:
What happened?
Six-Fingered José:
I witnessed the most powerful destructive force I have ever seen in my life!
Six-Fingered José:
I'm telling you, it completely changed the whole landscape in that part of the mountains!
Paimon:
Holy moly!
Six-Fingered José:
I was hiding behind a bush and I saw this little girlie in red clothing running into the distance, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake.
Six-Fingered José:
*sigh* But I don't know if anyone will believe me.
Paimon:
Hmm... Now that you mention it, the idea of a tiny little girl wielding that much destructive power is a little far-fetched...
Six-Fingered José:
You want to know what I think? I think she has a treasure nobody else knows about.
Six-Fingered José:
Maybe even the most powerful treasure in all of Mondstadt!
Paimon:
Did you say treasure!?
Paimon:
Traveler, did Paimon imagine that or did you hear it too?
Six-Fingered José:
It's... just a guess. I mean... No, it's a bard's razor-sharp intuition!
Six-Fingered José:
How can you say such a thing...
Paimon:
So, this girl. What's her name?
Six-Fingered José:
Ah... I do not know her name. I do not see her often in Mondstadt.
Six-Fingered José:
Hey, I am telling the truth! You gotta believe me!
Paimon:
Hmmm... Doesn't sound like much to go on...
Paimon:
But thanks for your intel!
Discuss your findings with Paimon
Paimon:
Patton was right about one thing.
Paimon:
If everyone's got their own opinion and can't be persuaded...
Paimon:
...How are we ever gonna find out who Mondstadt's strongest fighter is?
Paimon:
...Eureka! Paimon's got it!
Paimon:
Let's go see what Jean says.
Paimon:
Bet the Knights have got an official ranking table for this kind of thing!
Paimon:
Come on, let's just go and ask already. We'll never find out if we don't!
Ask Jean about the strongest fighter in Mondstadt
Paimon:
Oh, Master Jean! Sorry to bother you, we're collecting intel on the strongest fighter in Mondstadt.
Paimon:
Do you have... uh, one of those... official Knights of Favonius—verified ranking table... thingies?
Jean:
Strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
Jean:
I am sorry, but I cannot help. I do not have any relevant documentation on that topic...
Paimon:
Oh... Well, that sucks.
Paimon:
Paimon was hoping Traveler would at least make the top five.
Jean:
Hehe. Well, although I do not have the data to make such an assessment, I will say that my faith in our Honorary Knight's abilities has never wavered.
Jean:
Which reminds me...
Jean:
Recently, one of the Abyss Order's Mages has been active near the city, although he is keeping a low profile.
Jean:
If you are staying around Mondstadt, please be on the lookout for danger.
Jean:
Given your... well, high-ranking fighting strength, I trust you will be able to help keep the area safe.
Paimon:
Awesome! After Traveler defeats the Abyss Order, he'll climb up that ranking table faster than he climbs up all those cliffs!
Paimon:
Well, either way, smashing the Abyss Order to bits is the right thing to do.
Jean:
Hehe. I like your enthusiasm. It is infectious.
Jean:
But be careful out there.
Leave the Knights of Favonius office
When you exit the Knights of Favonius office, you bump into a very cheeky young lady. Concerned for her well-being, you help her up and ask if she is hurt...
Ask about the girl
???:
I—I'm fine! I'm not hurt! Sorry for bumping into you.
Traveler:
You dropped something.
Paimon:
Hey, look, there's some writing on here...
Paimon:
"Explosion inside city wall, grounded be thy woe," "Explosions can hurt people, Jean can be dreadful," "Mondstadt be bombed, Klee be doomed..."
???:
Yikes...
???:
Mr. Kaeya wrote these down for me, um... they're, um... survival rules.
Paimon:
Survival rules?
???:
Y—Yeah... Rules that I must absolutely never break under any circumstances.
???:
Otherwise, something terrible would happen.
???:
Yep!
???:
Ah, I forgot to introduce myself!
Klee:
My name is Klee.
Klee:
I've heard all about you guys! You're the Honorary Knight who helps Mondstadt!
Paimon:
Wow!
Paimon:
More recognition, yay! Paimon is so happy right now.
Klee:
I heard it from Amber... But wait, no— there's no time for this right now.
Klee:
I'm dealing with a big emergency. I grabbed my map and ran as fast as I could all the way here.
Traveler:
What's wrong?
Klee:
Th—The treasure I buried in the Whispering Woods, it's... gone.
Paimon:
Did you say... buried treasure!?
Paimon:
Exactly what Paimon was thinking!
Paimon:
Lost treasure is a big deal. Let us help you find it!
Klee:
Yay! Thanks, you guys!
Klee:
Here! Here's where the map says the treasure should be. I put a circle round it.
Klee:
I also put a wooden sign in the ground at the place where I buried it. To make it easier to find!
Paimon:
(...Paimon is starting to understand how this treasure went missing so easily.)
Klee:
Come on Mr. Honorary Knight, let's go!
You have heard people from various corners weigh in on who the strongest fighter in Mondstadt is, but have yet to get a definite answer. Outside the Knights headquarters, you have an unexpected meeting with one of the candidates for the title — Klee, who is in dire need of help to recover her stolen treasure.
Find the treasure trove in the Whispering Woods
Klee:
♪ La la la la la la la~ ♪
Paimon:
Your treasure's gone, but you seem oddly happy.
Klee:
Ah, well, Razor and Albedo seem really busy recently.
Klee:
So Klee must not disturb them.
Klee:
But now Klee has new friends!
Klee:
It's such a nice surprise to have a new friend to help me! Hehehe. I'm so happy!
Talk to Klee
Klee:
We're here! This is the place!
Klee:
Look, this is where my huuuge treasure was buried...
Paimon:
And where there's now a huuuge empty hole in the ground...
Traveler:
Wait — who's that over there?
Paimon:
It's... an Abyss Mage!? Hey, maybe he's the one Jean was warning us about.
Paimon:
What's that in his hand?
Klee:
My treasure!
Paimon:
...Wha!?
Abyss Mage:
Hmph! I see the little girl's brought her friends with her! Time for a change of plan...
Paimon:
Hey, you! If you think you're so tough, get back here and fight!
Traveler:
After him!
Pursue the Abyss Mage with Klee
Klee:
What's an Abyss Mage? I play in the forest all the time, but I've never seen one before.
Klee:
It looks so cute! Soft and fluffy... I wanna pet it.
Paimon:
Game's up. Now hand it over!
Abyss Mage:
Grr...
Abyss Mage:
You fools think I would give this up so easily after what I have been through to acquire it?
Abyss Mage:
Hehe...
Paimon:
Careful, Klee, don't be drawn in by it... Abyss Mages are the bad guys.
Klee:
Oh... That's right, Master Jean says that stealing is wrong.
Klee:
Hmm... But if we could just get him to give it back...
Paimon:
Freeze!
Abyss Mage:
*panting* That girl's lucky she didn't come alone, otherwise I'd...
Abyss Mage:
Hmph...
Track down the Abyss Mage
Paimon:
Where'd he go? The Abyss Mage! He just... disappeared!
Paimon:
What's going on?
Paimon:
A gateway to a domain! The Abyss Mage must have snuck inside.
Klee:
*panting* ...
Paimon:
Klee, do you need a rest?
Paimon:
Why don't you wait here while we get your treasure back for you?
Klee:
...No, I'm coming with you!
Klee:
It's my treasure that Mr. Fluffball stole, and it's up to me to get it back!
Klee:
Hee-hee, don't worry. Klee is a big girl!
Klee:
Come on, Mr. Honorary Knight! Let's goooo!
Negotiate with the Abyss Mage
Abyss Mage:
Hmph. You followed me. I must say, I'm impressed.
Abyss Mage:
But this is as far as you will get.
Paimon:
Oh yeah? What are you gonna do?
Abyss Mage:
Mwuhahaha! Ahahahaha!
Abyss Mage:
Oh, the human proclivity to gossip has provided us with everything we need...
Abyss Mage:
We learned that your little red friend had in her possession the most powerful treasure in all of Mondstadt.
Abyss Mage:
That treasure is now in my hands. There is nothing you can do!
Abyss Mage:
Now your precious treasure shall be your undoing!
Klee:
No, no, wait! D—Don't touch it!
Abyss Mage:
Hah! Oh, how you fret now your predicament is finally clear to you!
Abyss Mage:
Now, what have we here — a flame symbol? Mwuhahaha...
The Abyss Mage pays no heed to Klee's warning and touches the treasure. Boom. A deafening explosion echoes throughout the ruins, and when the smoke clears, not so much as a shred of cloth is left where the Abyss Mage has been.
Klee:
NO!
Klee:
I broke the survival rules... "Explosions can hurt people... Jean can be dreadful..."
Klee:
This is it... This time I'm done for... *sobs*
Paimon:
...
Paimon:
Wait, so Klee's treasure is a bomb!?
Paimon:
No wonder Klee was rumored to be the strongest fighter in Mondstadt.
Paimon:
Paimon for one is never picking a fight with her. Ever.
Paimon:
Hold on... Why has she gone and run off?
Paimon:
Seems like it!
Paimon:
Well then, let's head to the Knights' headquarters and report to Jean.
Klee's highly explosive "treasure" proved to be a remarkably swift solution to the Abyss Mage problem. However, she fled the scene after the explosion. Confused, you decide to return to the Knights headquarters and report the matter to Jean...
Go back to the Knights' headquarters and report to Jean
Paimon:
Klee? You're here too?
Klee:
I... *sobbing* I turned myself in.
Paimon:
...Huh?
Klee:
*sobbing* I... M—My bomb... I—I hurt someone...
Klee:
*sobbing* I broke the rules... I'll never see the light of day again...
Jean:
Klee, I need you to answer me. You said someone was injured. Where are they?
Traveler:
Wait! There's been a misunderstanding.
Jean:
Why is that?
Traveler:
The person that Klee blew up was an Abyss Mage.
Klee:
But... But Mr. Fluffball was only a thief... He didn't deserve to blow up...
Paimon:
Hey, come on now... Paimon already told you that the Abyss Mages are the bad guys...
Paimon:
And actually, they're the worst kind of bad guys you can imagine. They don't just hate the good guys, they hate all people... Their enemy is... humanity itself.
Klee:
Mr. Fluffball... was a bad guy on purpose? ...Mr. Fluffball is the enemy of humanity!?
Klee:
Wha... what!? I don't get it!
Jean:
This was an oversight on my part.
Jean:
I did not tell you these things before because you are still young.
Jean:
In fact, the Abyss Order is a hostile force in Mondstadt which has been unusually active lately.
Traveler:
Because of Mondstadt's most powerful treasure?
Paimon:
Aha, that's it! Paimon understands now!
Paimon:
They were tracking down poor Klee because they'd heard rumors about her treasure!
Paimon:
Just like the way Paimon's first reaction was to try and get her hands on... ahh, no— to try and get the facts on the treasure.
Klee:
So... does that mean...
Jean:
In light of your contribution on this matter, I will allow you to take part in the next Ludi Harpastum.
Klee:
Ludi Harpastum! Whoa!
Klee:
Mr. Honorary Knight, you've gotta come too!
Paimon:
Woop-de-doo, it's a happy ending!
Jean:
Except...
Paimon:
...Except what?
Jean:
Klee, where did you hide the treasure to begin with?
Klee:
I... Um...
Jean:
Were you trying to blow up the fish in Starfell Lake again?
Klee:
I wasn't! I swear I wasn't!
Paimon:
(She's giving us that look that means, play along...)
Traveler:
(Uh-oh, Jean noticed it too...)
Jean:
Klee?
Klee:
I'll see myself to solitary confinement... *sobbing*
Paimon:
Paimon bets Klee must get bored in there all by herself...
Find the door of the confinement room in Knight's headquarters.
Paimon:
Guess whooo~?
???:
That's Paimon's voice I hear!
Klee:
Ooh, ooh, yes, please! Wait — no, I... I can't. Klee needs to be a good girl and think about what she did... Stop tempting me!
Klee:
Anyway, while I'm grounded, I'm making an extra-special new treasure... the Ludi Harpastum version!
Paimon:
When you say "treasure..."
Klee:
Tee-hee... I made it into the shape of a harpastum and everything! It looks so cute...
Klee:
Just wait for Ludi Harpastum, oh yeah... They're gonna love it!
Paimon:
Yeesh, if Jean was listening to this...
Paimon:
Klee might find herself grounded for an awful lot longer.
