During Disturbance OutbreakQiyongQiyong: A new round of combat is upon us... Ah, I'm so excited!Qiyong: I wonder how long I can last in the Domain this time...Traveler: Aren't you supposed to defend the outside?Qiyong: You know what they say — the best defense is sometimes a good offense. No point sitting on our hands here if there are no monsters to fight.Qiyong: When the disturbance is active, we'll organize our best scouts to breach the affected zones and gather as much intel as possible.Qiyong: Rarely do we get to test ourselves in battle. If it were my old team, I think we would have been tripping over each other to rush the enemy!Traveler: Conserve your stamina, guys...Qiyong: Don't worry, we know our limits.Qiyong: It's essential for a warrior to assess the strength of both their enemies and allies.Qiyong: But until we reach our limits, we should fear nothing. Instead, we should strike steady and strike true.Qiyong: And if that foe proves too much to handle, one should never rush in. Instead, we should cover each other and disengage in good order, awaiting reinforcements or for a better opportunity to present itself.Qiyong: Well... look at me rambling away. The long and short of it is that we'll take the initiative in battle!Traveler: Me too. Be careful out there!Qiyong: It's an honor to fight by your side... Ahh, I'm burning with excitement here!FangjinFangjin: We meet again, Traveler.Fangjin: I have both bad news and good news... which do you want to hear first?Traveler: Let's get the bad news out of the way.Fangjin: As you can see, the Ley Line disturbance has become active again.Fangjin: And the monsters are once again itching to run loose...Fangjin: Once more, we need your help to delve into the depths of the Domain.Traveler: Of course. Leave it to me.Fangjin: An imposing manner indeed... I'm sure you'll do just as well this time!Traveler: Give me a minute to prep, I'll be right back.Fangjin: Of course, don't rush. In the meantime, we'll handle any monsters that escape.Traveler: Let's hear the good news first.Fangjin: Thanks to the reactivation of the Ley Line disturbances, our troops are warming up for this new, challenging combat exercise.Fangjin: Previously, our fellow Millelith had already purged the most dangerous monsters from across Liyue, leaving our ordinary troops with little chance to face truly formidable foes.Fangjin: If we let them languish in this safe environment for too long, their minds and bodies will only grow dull. A real battle like this is a perfect opportunity for them to reflect upon their training.Fangjin: So even as we ensure the integrity of our defenses and handle the threats, we are constantly sharpening ourselves through this Ley Line disturbance.Fangjin: Perhaps one day, even the most ordinary of our troops can boast battle prowess that you would find commendable.Traveler: Let me think about it, and I'll get back to you.Fangjin: Alright, I'll be here waiting.Disturbance Outbreak SubduedFangjinFangjin: Traveler, you're here!Fangjin: The situation is looking good at the moment. We've cleared out all the monsters that escaped.Traveler: What can you tell me about the Ley Line disturbance?Fangjin: Ah, yes. According to our scouts' estimates, the disturbance is currently in its lull period. It won't be causing trouble for a while.Fangjin: It's all thanks to you leading your team deeper into the Domain and defeating all those powerful monsters!Fangjin: Make use of this time to rest up and get yourself ready for the next battle.Fangjin: Although... they say that you're someone who never stops honing themselves. In which case, I wish you success in your training!Traveler: About the garrison...Fangjin: Please rest assured that our troops are currently well-equipped and rested. Our forces are extremely resilient — we could stay here for a couple more weeks and still fight at full strength if it came to that.Fangjin: Under the Kaiyang's masterful command, our vanguard is rotated every two weeks to keep from overworking any of our men.Fangjin: And once the situation stabilizes, the rotating shifts will consist of seven veterans for every three fresh recruits.Fangjin: That way, we can deal with the threat while also exposing our recruits to an environment conducive for training.Fangjin: Of course, myself and several of my capable subordinates will be stationed here to assist you.Traveler: Thanks for the help.Fangjin: But of course. This is my duty as a proud soldier of the Millelith!QiyongOptional Dialogue: Talk to QiyongQiyong: Oh, it's you, bold hero. Have you any new orders?Traveler: What's with the "hero" bit?Qiyong: Ah, Captain Fangjin told us that you came to our aid after learning of our plight...Qiyong: Despite knowing the dangers within the Ley Line's Domain, you showed no fear — instead, you pressed forward relentlessly to storm the enemy stronghold...Qiyong: To us, you're the model example of what a chivalrous hero should be!Traveler: Aw, shucks, I just like helping people!Traveler: That goes for all of you heroes as well.Qiyong: You're too humble! If you don't mind, I'd love to get some pointers about swordsmanship from you...Qiyong: But our charge is to stay vigilant and be ready to engage the enemy at any time. I suppose our conversations on bladework will have to wait.Traveler: Your task is to stay here?Qiyong: That's right. Captain Fangjin has confirmed that we'll be cooperating with you long-term. If you should need us to, we'll do everything we can to assist you in battle.Qiyong: That said, our strategy does hinge on maintaining our defensive lines, so if you plan to engage monsters beyond those bounds, we may not be able to back you up.Traveler: It won't come to that. Make sure to hold the fort here!Traveler: Guarding the site of the disturbance is our core objective!Qiyong: Indeed! We have full faith that you will deal with the threat before us meticulously, even should many such circumstances prove no challenge to you.Traveler: I'll leave you to your lookout duties. Stay vigilant!Qiyong: You're so considerate of your allies... You've got the makings of a general!

Paimon: Latest news from the Adventurers' Guild — there's something strange going on at Sal Terrae, and loads of monsters have shown up...Paimon: The Millelith has designated the whole area as off-limits... Maybe we should stop by and see what's going on?Qiongji Estuary, LiyueQuest Description: The Adventurers' Guild has reported strange activity in Liyue's Sal Terrae, and the Millelith have sealed the area off. Sensing danger, you and Paimon decide to head over to investigate...Quest Objective: Go to the area around Sal TerraePaimon: Uhhh... Yeah, something's definitely off here. Look at all that spooky smoke around the Ley Line deposit over there... Could that be where the monsters are coming from?Paimon: Looks like the Millelith have set up camp to deal with this. There are soldiers and fortifications everywhere!Traveler: That deposit looks familiar...Traveler: We'd best stay on our guard and prepare for a fight.Paimon: Yeah! Let's fight side by side with the Millelith and send those monsters packing — just like old times! Then we can focus on what to do about that weird deposit.Millelith Warrior: Halt, you two! There's danger up ahead. I'll have to ask you to turn back.Millelith Warrior: No, wait... I think I recognize you. Are you Sergeant Traveler?Paimon: Sergeant? What the heck? Have you been doing night shifts in the Millelith while Paimon's asleep?Traveler: Me? Absolutely not...Traveler: "Sergeant," huh? I could get used to that!Fangjin: I am Fangjin, leader of this Millelith platoon. Staff Officer Su Ding has mentioned you before, and had nothing but praise for your extraordinary talents.Fangjin: Our reports also list you as an Honorary Knight in the Knights of Favonius, granted captain-level authority in times of crisis. Therefore, it seems only appropriate to address you as Sergeant.Fangjin: But now that introductions are out of the way, let's get back to business. Please, come with me — we should meet with Lady Yuheng.Paimon: Wait, Keqing's here too?Paimon: Huh, this situation must be more complicated than we thought. So much for solving this one with a quick fight...Fangjin: Lady Yuheng. As you predicted, Traveler and his/her second-in-command are here to see you.Keqing: Good work, Fangjin.Keqing: It's been a while, you two. I see you're still chasing danger. The news has barely gone out and here you are, first at the front line as ever.Traveler: Sergeant Traveler, reporting for duty!Traveler: Well, second this time, but we'll do our best to help!Keqing: Let me start by giving you a brief background of the situation.Keqing: For many years, this Ley Line deposit has been very stable. However, for reasons we have not yet determined, it recently became unusually active, which has led to an alarming surge in monster attacks.Keqing: Worse still, eliminating the monsters seems to have no effect. The Ley Line disturbance remains and anyone who comes into contact with it is transported to a strange domain. This is the first time we've seen this sort of anomaly.Paimon: Yikes, that's really weird... So somehow, this Ley Line deposit has turned into a sort of... teleport waypoint?Paimon: And shouldn't you guys be calling for more backup? There's no way a camp this size can withstand an otherworldly invasion!Keqing: Please don't worry, Paimon. Our defenses are as stable as can be, and all units are elite officers who have served in the Guili Plains. With their experience, each one of them is easily worth a hundred troops.Keqing: Still, the longer this garrison stays up, the more costly it will be. If we don't find the source of the Ley Line disturbance soon, we run the risk of depleted resources and troop fatigue.Keqing: Military action should be taken with precision and prudence — every attack has to count. A passive defense is always a losing strategy.Paimon: That makes a lotta sense... Sitting around and waiting for the enemy to attack sounds like it would really suck!Keqing: Yes, which is why Yelan has taken a team to infiltrate and investigate the domain. They should be back in a few hours with the intel we need.Yelan: A few hours? I'm sorry, I would've taken my time if I'd known the Lady Yuheng wanted to catch up with Traveler in private...Paimon: Waaah! Why'd you have to sneak up on us like that, Yelan!?Keqing: You're back early. I'm guessing things didn't go according to plan?Yelan: Well... There's good news and bad news.Yelan: The good news is that we now have a rough idea of what's going on. In short, this anomaly is a vestige of a past Ley Line disturbance.Yelan: By examining on-site samples and cross-checking them against our war records, I was able to confirm that the Ley Lines are currently re-enacting major historical battles inside the domain. This likely explains the monsters that managed to slip out, too.Traveler: Another Ley Line disturbance, huh...Yelan: Sounds familiar? Thought it might.Yelan: My sources tell me that Mondstadt has experienced a similar phenomenon in the recent past.Yelan: Fortunately, the situation never spiraled out of control, thanks to a relentless effort by a certain Honorary Knight and Darknight Hero to keep the monsters at bay.Yelan: This eventually depleted all the information stored in the Ley Line, after which it returned to normal. Basically, they waged a war of attrition, and won.Paimon: Well, that explains why the Ley Line deposit is bright red. There was one just like it back then too... Big and red and plump, like a juicy apple ripe for the picking!Traveler: Tell me more about this "Honorary Knight." Sounds like a cool person!Traveler: I don't remember that... Maybe I really do work when Paimon's asleep!Yelan: Heh, I see what you're doing, Traveler. Making light of the situation signals to the person trying to hire you that if they want you to take things seriously, they need to make you a serious offer... But don't worry, we won't disappoint you on that front.Paimon: Umm, you're starting to lose Paimon a little!Keqing: ...And the bad news, Yelan? Give it to us straight.Yelan: Sure. As you've already noticed, this Ley Line disturbance differs from previous cases in that defeating the monsters here in the outside world will not suffice.Yelan: So, unless we target the deepest recesses of this domain and defeat all the monsters lurking within, this battle could drag on forever.Yelan: To complicate things further, there seems to be a strange set of rules at play in the domain. While we were inside, my team and I started to notice that something was working against us, forbidding us from reaching the core.Yelan: Things went smoothly at first. We were collecting and analyzing items without too much trouble. But once we pushed deeper, the team was overcome with a sudden sense of weakness. They could no longer fight at full strength.Yelan: Meanwhile, the monsters only got stronger. Some of them even showed traits we've never observed before. It got pretty dicey at points.Yelan: My verdict is, we need to find someone highly resistant to Ley Line interference who can look into the domain's rules undisturbed.Yelan: If they led a squad inside, they could figure out how to navigate the environment, then strike at the heart of the domain and quell this Ley Line disturbance once and for all.Traveler: Heh, I see what you're doing...Traveler: I'm the only viable candidate!Keqing: So to summarize, we have two options. The first is to strengthen our defenses, keep fending off the monster attacks, and hope the disturbance dies down in due course.Keqing: Option two is to send Traveler inside the domain with a team of troops to eliminate the disturbance at the source...Keqing: Understood. I'll prepare for both courses of action.Keqing: I'll need to contact Ningguang and request additional funding for our defenses. At the same time, I'll reach out to the Kaiyang to discuss manpower. We need to get our troops on rotation as soon as possible.Paimon: Hey, isn't this the part where you're supposed to tell us to "get out there and give 'em what for"?Keqing: Sorry, but peacekeeping in Liyue is a duty that belongs to the Millelith and the Qixing. It's my role as commander to keep my officers from taking on unnecessary risks.Keqing: Plus, I don't want you taking this on all by yourself... for reasons both professional and personal.Keqing: So if you don't want to get involved, I won't force you. I'll simply treat this like a long-term training exercise for the Millelith, with several platoons working in rotation to eliminate each wave of monsters.Keqing: Meanwhile, I'll have scouts keep up the intelligence-gathering work inside the domain. Once we understand it sufficiently well, we can put a strike team together to head in and neutralize the threat.Keqing: Of course, if you do wish to participate, you'll have my full support, and the entire garrison at your disposal.Keqing: And once the Ley Line disturbance has been brought under control, I will review your record and compensate you accordingly.Traveler: I'll help, for reasons both professional and personal.Traveler: As a friend I must stay and fight!Paimon: Paimon too. Whichever way you cut it, we can't sit this one out: We're allies of Liyue, we're the best adventurer duo around, and we're friends of Keqing and Yelan.Paimon: ...Plus, we don't need to worry about being shortchanged! Keqing and Yelan will definitely make it worth our time!Keqing: That looks like determination to me...Keqing: I like what I see! Alright, here's how we're going to do this:Keqing: Yelan, tell your team to prepare for another trip into the domain, this time with Traveler joining them.Yelan: Not so fast, I need some time to think this through. The situation at the site is in constant fluctuation, so we can't just go rushing in. We have to time it just right.Yelan: Traveler, take this time to rest up and assemble your A-Team. Be ready for anything — this will be a fiercer battle than most.Optional Dialogue: Talk to QiyongQiyong: The enemies in that Domain can't be understood like we would common foes. Stay on your guard, and pay attention to their attacks!Optional Dialogue: Talk to FangjinFangjin: So you're taking the initiative to attack the Domain at the disturbance... May your victory be swift!Quest Objective: Enter the Domain through the disturbance pointAlternative Dialogue: During Disturbance OutbreakYelan: Now's the perfect time. If we seize this chance, we should be able to go deeper into the domain's core...Yelan: Of course, that's assuming we can figure out the "rules" along the way, as well as how to deal with our foes.Keqing: Keep your eyes peeled and your blades ready. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, and look out for one another.Keqing: Remember, whenever the situation takes a turn for the worse, it never hurts to retreat and regroup. Don't go pushing yourselves too hard, alright?Keqing: With that said, I await your triumphant return.Traveler: And a triumphant return you shall have!Traveler: I'm ready for whatever this domain throws at me!Paimon: Yeah! We'll be back with good news for the both of you!Alternative Dialogue: After Disturbance Outbreak SubduedYelan: It looks like this wave is finally over. Things have finally settled down.Keqing: For now, at least. We haven't eliminated the root cause. It's only a matter of time before the next surge of activity.Keqing: Still... we've won ourselves some valuable down time. Let's take this time to get some proper rest, and then prepare for the next battle.Paimon: Yes, M'am! You don't have to tell us twice!Paimon: The best order is a rest order! We're gonna eat good, sleep good, and get our strength back! ...Uh, and then do some strategic thinking... stuff!
