Quest DescriptionGrandpa Jingzhu finally reveals the ultimate secret to training Echoes...! Will he finally get what he wants this time?
- (Answer Jingzhu's call)
- Jingzhu (Contacting): Hey there, it's Jingzhu! I'm reaching out once again to ask for the help of you young folks.
How are you?
- Jingzhu (Contacting): As usual, I'm doing just fine!
- Jingzhu (Contacting): A valiant Midnight Ranger like myself won't be deterred by a few setbacks!
- What can I do for you?
- Jingzhu (Contacting): Since we last met, I've been pondering a more practical approach...
- Jingzhu (Contacting): And I've finally devised one! Eager to put it into action!
You need help?
- Jingzhu (Contacting): Hehe, yes. I've thought it over and I do need the help of you young folks.
- I see...
- Jingzhu (Contacting): You don't sound very enthusiastic, but it dosn't matter. Once you arrive, you'll be immediately convinced that my plan will work this time!
- Jingzhu (Contacting): I'll be waiting for you at the Jinzhou Theater, and that red-haired Patroller will be joining us as well.
- Jingzhu (Contacting): And don't you worry, I’ve already prepared your payment. I won't let you work for free.
- Sure.
- Okay, fine...
- Jingzhu (Contacting): Alright then, see you later!
- (Talk to Jingzhu and Chixia)
- Chixia: Hey! You're all here!
- Chixia: When I heard Grandpa Jingzhu needed a hand, I zipped over here using my amazing overdashing skill!
- Jingzhu: No need to hurry. Take a moment to catch your breath, young on
- Chixia: No worries, I'm bursting with energy! So, Grandpa Jingzhu, what's the plan?
- Jingzhu: Alright. I must say, (Rover)'s suggestion seems quite practical. Find a subject that piques her interest and proceed gradually...
- Jingzhu: So, I've devised a plan to enhance the Echo. Once we make the Scythes stronger, I'll be ready to present it to her.
- What plan?
- Chixia: Yeah, what else can we do? The Scythes is already pretty impressive. Can we kick it up a notch?
- Jingzhu: Let me share a little secret with you. There's another valuable asset in Tacet Fields... known as Tuners!
- Chixia: Tuners?
- Jingzhu: Yes, Tuners have the ability to fine-tune the frequencies of Echoes, eliminating any unwanted noise and bolstering their strength!
- Chixia: Oh, right! It's that round or square thing, isn't it? How could I forget?
- Jingzhu: Our goal for today is to acquire some Tuners from Tacet Fields.
- Chixia: Great! For stronger Echoes! Let's get moving!
- (Arrive at Tacet Field)
- Jingzhu: Ah, finally arrived. It's just around the corner.
- Jingzhu: Sorry, but I must take a brief rest. I'm relying on you, young ones!
- (Get back to Jingzhu)
- Chixia: Nailed it! (Rover), you're really mastering this!
- Chixia: We did find some Tuners! I gotta admit, I was kinda wondering why you seemed so at ease out in the wild.
- Chixia: But now that I know you used to be a Midnight Ranger, it totally clicks!
- Jingzhu: My captain taught me a lot... from uncovering Tacet Fields to identifying various Tacet Discords, even the places to find Tuners...
- Jingzhu: However, memories tend to play tricks as you age, so I must see it with my own eyes to be certain.
- Jingzhu: Even in the wild, I find myself relying on you young ones to help me reach my objectives.
- Jingzhu: But enough dwelling on the melancholy. As long as the Echo gets stronger, I'm content.
- (After Tuning an Echo)
- Jingzhu: Hmm, not bad. You've stirred up memories of my past glory.
- Jingzhu: Linghan should be delighted to see this, don't you think?
- Jingzhu: Let's hurry back to show her!
- (Visit Linghan's place)
- Jingzhu: Strange. It's unusual for Linghan to not be outside soaking up the sun at this hour. Could she be indoors?
- Jingzhu went up and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
- Jingzhu: No response...
- Did she go out?
- Jingzhu: Something's not right. Linghan typically avoids venturing out too far as her memory isn't as sharp as it once was...
- Chixia: Yeah, I've got a weird vibe too. Let’s ask around the neighborhood.
- Chixia: Count on me! I practically know this area like the back of my hand. I'll go ask everyone I can find to see if they've spotted Grandma Linghan.
- (Ask Shaohua)
- Chixia: Shaohua, have you seen Grandma Linghan today?
- Shaohua: You mean the old lady next door?
- Shaohua: It seems she went out early this morning.
- Shaohua: Isn't it strange? I heard she's been quite unwell lately, hardly ever venturing outside. Instead, she spends hours basking in the sun right by her doorstep.
- Shaohua: But she went straight out today, and I have no idea where she went.
- Chixia: Got it, thanks for letting me know. I'll check with someone else and see if I can dig up more info.
- (Ask Lanqing)
- Chixia: Hello, may I ask your name?
- Lanqing: Hello, I'm Lanqing. I just moved in. Are you a Patroller? Anything happened around here?
- Chixia: Hey, mind if I ask you something? Have you seen Grandma Linghan around today?
- Lanqing: You're talking about the lady who's into Echoes, right? I haven't spotted her around today, unfortunately.
- Lanqing: I've crossed paths with her a couple of times. She seems nice.
- Lanqing: But she always looks a bit under the weather, and her memory seems a bit shaky.
- Lanqing: I heard she's dealing with some serious health issues. It must be tough for her.
- (After inquiring the neighbors)
- Yingying: *Sobbing* Grandpa! Finally had someone to help! We were so scared...
- Jingzhu: No, no, no, don’t cry. Tell Grandpa what happened.
- Yingying: Grandma left early this morning, and when Dad noticed and went to find her, she was gone! *Sobbing*
- Yingying: What if Grandma gets lost again...?
- Jingzhu: Don't worry, Yingying. Grandma will be alright. She'll be back home soon.
- Jingzhu: I must carefully consider why Linghan went out today. There must be a purpose behind it.
- Jingzhu: Ah, I see... Today is... I know where she is. No need to worry. I'll bring her back home safely.
- Need any help?
- Jingzhu: It's reassuring to have your support. When it comes to Linghan's safety, the more helpers, the better.
- Let us help.
- Jingzhu: Thank you, young ones... Words are inadequate to express my gratitude.
- Chixia: Yep! The more eyes we have, the faster we can track down Grandma Linghan.
- Chixia: But where on earth could Grandma Linghan have gone...?
- Jingzhu: I think she might have gone to that cave near the edge of Jinzhou.
- Chixia: A cave, you say? Tacet Discords love hanging out in places like that. Let’s hurry and check it out!
- (Go to the cave)
- Chixia: This place is huge! How on earth are we going to find her? Ugh, it's so frustrating!
- Should we split up?
- Jingzhu: Easy there, young one. There's a clue that could help us locate Linghan swiftly.
- Do we have any other leads?
- Jingzhu: Now that you mention it, something just jogged my memory. It might help us locate Linghan swiftly.
- Jingzhu: If my memory serves me right, she should be gathering the Echo of Flautist. Given her health, she wouldn't venture to Tacet Fields, so she must be exploring the wild for scattered Tacet Discords.
- Jingzhu: In our day, we relied on experience to locate Tacet Discords, but I've heard there are more advanced technologies available now.
- Chixia: Yep! The gourd just got upgraded with a search function. Let's see if we can use it to spot any nearby Tacet Discords.
- Let me try...
- Chixia: Don't worry, (Rover), it's pretty straightforward. Normally, I'd give you time to figure it out yourself, but with Grandma Linghan missing, we can't afford to waste any. Let me walk you through it.
- How to use it?
- Chixia: You got it! I'll be your guide through this.
- (Use Echo hunting to track down the Flautist)
- Chixia: Whoa, this new tech is amazing! We found her in no time flat.
- Jingzhu: Let's not dawdle. Hang tight, Linghan! We’re on our way!
- (Arrive at the designated location)
- Chixia: This place is seriously dangerous. Grandma Linghan isn't in a good health condition. Why would she come here...
- Jingzhu: She must be here to collect the Echo of Flautist. After all, today is... a special day.
- What special day?
- Jingzhu: Many years ago on this very day, Jinzhou was besieged by a fierce Tacet Discord outbreak. Tens of Midnight Rangers stood firm on the front lines, confronting thousands of Tacet Discords.
- Jingzhu: It was Linghan who proposed a brilliant strategy. With her deep understanding of Echoes, she suggested utilizing them to repel the enemies' assault.
- Jingzhu: To minimize casualties, she led the entire squad here to gather hundreds of Flautist's Echoes.
- She was also a Midnight Ranger?
- Jingzhu: Yes...
- Chixia: Hey, isn't that person with the silver hair over there...? Grandma Linghan! GRANDMA LINGHAN! Over here!
- Chixia: Darn! She's too far away to hear us!
- Jingzhu: No! The Tacet Discords are closing in on her!
- Chixia: Oh, man! We can't even use overdashing to catch up from this distance!
- Jingzhu: Leave it to me!
- Jingzhu: Frostbite Tortoise, I choose you! Protect Linghan!
- The Hoartoise put up a shield with its armor, enduring all attacks.
- Chixia: Phew! That was a close call!
- Let's take this chance...!
- Jingzhu: Your observation is sharp, young one. You have the makings of a soldier. Now is the moment to strike! Seize the opportunity given by the lull in Flautist's attacks!",
- Chixia: Let's go!
- (After defeating Tacet Discords)
- Chixia: Phew... Finally safe.
- Jingzhu: Young ones, are you alright?
- Chixia: W-We're fine! Just needed to catch our breath after that crazy moment...
- Chixia: Instead of worrying us, go make sure Grandma Linghan's okay!
- (Talk to Linghan)
- Jingzhu: Linghan, how are you feeling? Any injuries? Does it hurt?
- Linghan: Your Echo is Frostbite Tortoise, isn't it?
- Linghan: You've raised it well, and the timing couldn't be more perfect.
- Jingzhu: Linghan...
- Linghan: Seeing your Echo reminds me of my dear...
- Linghan: He shielded our entire squad with a humble Frostbite Tortoise, time and time again.
- Linghan: At first, everyone mocked him for choosing such a seemingly feeble Echo. Yet, they were all silenced by its might in the end.
- Linghan: After all, the strength of an Echo lies in the hands of its user.
- Jingzhu: I see. My judgment was clouded by strength before, capturing Echoes purely based on their appearances. You're right. You're always right.
- Chixia: Grandpa Jingzhu, why are you crying?
- Jingzhu: These tears... They're tears of joy.
- Linghan: By the way, there's a striking resemblance between you and my dear...
- Linghan: Both with a nose and two eyes, quite similar indeed, hehe.
- Linghan: But you're nowhere near as handsome as him. In my eyes, he was incomparable—wise and brave beyond measure.
- Jingzhu: Y-Your cataracts seem to be worsening...
- Hurry up! Get her reacquainted with you!
- Jingzhu: You're right! Captain Linghan, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm a member of the Vanguard of Midnight Rangers. You can call me Jingzhu.
- Linghan: Jingzhu... Did you just have flowers with you?
- Jingzhu: Oh yeah! I was too busy dealing with the Tacet Discords, and I dropped them somewhere.
- Let me get them for you!
- Chixia: They're right here. Let's take them back to Grandpa Jingzhu!
- (Deliver the Noctemint to Jingzhu)
- Jingzhu: Here, this Noctemint is for you. Please accept it, Linghan. Will you once again be my lifelong companion?
- (Linghan stretches out her hand tremblingly and accepts the Noctemint.)
- Linghan: Ah, the scent of Noctemint... it's so familiar. My dear used to bring me Noctemints. Just a whiff would lift my spirits.
- Linghan: Flowers, Echoes... they're all the same. Practicality is key.
- Jingzhu: Y-Yes! From this moment onward, I'll be by your side, soaking in the sunshine, engaging in conversation... Whatever you desire, I'll be there with you!
- Jingzhu: As long as I can be by your side!
- Jingzhu: Because I made a promise to you, Linghan. I vowed to never let you be alone, and I intend to uphold that promise for eternity.
- Linghan: But alas, we can't soak up the sun here.
- Linghan: Escort me back. Basking in the sun on my doorstep is where I feel most at ease.
- Jingzhu: Alright, alright, let's go home!
- (Visit Linghan's house and talk to Jingzhu)
- Chixia: Grandpa Jingzhu, where is Grandma Linghan?
- Jingzhu: Linghan isn't in a good health condition, so I've let her return to rest for now.
- Chixia: Such a relief to hear that! I'm so glad she got home safe.
- Chixia: Oh, and by the way, I've got a ton of questions. (Rover), you too, right?
- Yes...
- Jingzhu: You might have noticed already: Linghan was once an exceptional Midnight Ranger, serving as the captain of the Vanguard.
- Jingzhu: She wasn't just my captain; she's also my beloved wife, with whom I've shared many years...
- Jingzhu: Being captain, she had a lot on her plate, always leading the charge, protecting our squad, and teaching us survival skills.
- Jingzhu: As the battles escalated, she pushed herself beyond limits and suffered grave injuries.
- Jingzhu: After a major victory, she eventually fell ill. She started to feel mentally foggy, causing her memories to slowly fade away.
- Jingzhu: She forgot how to navigate the streets of Jinzhou, forgot to eat her favorite Helmet Flatbread while they were still warm, and then...
- Jingzhu: She even forgot about me...
- Chixia: So, that's why you’ve been chasing after Grandma Linghan, huh?
- Chixia: You're hoping to stick by her side as her special someone.
- Jingzhu: Yes, you're correct. Our comrades, once vibrant youths, perished in battle, while others succumbed to illness.
- Jingzhu: I can't help but fear that someday if she were to regain her memories, she'd feel a profound loneliness... I cannot bear the thought.
- Jingzhu: Sorry for bringing up sad things. Thank you for helping me find Linghan.
- Jingzhu: Linghan has accepted me. It's a great joy! I should feel happy!
- Jingzhu: The past is the past. From now on, I'll treasure every moment shared with Linghan!
- Chixia: Exactly! Let's treasure every moment and live life to the max!
- Jingzhu: Hehe, if you have time, feel free to visit us, and we can chat about Echoes to our heart's content.
- Jingzhu: I can't express my gratitude enough for your assistance in resolving this matter.
- Jingzhu: Plus, seeing you must have made Linghan so relieved to know that the people we risked our lives for have turned into amazing adults.
- Jingzhu: Thank you for your efforts. Here are what you deserve.
- Jingzhu: Besides the compensation, this old man has a word of advice for you.
- Jingzhu: Take good care of your Echoes. The world beyond can be perilous, and they may come in handy in times of need.
- Jingzhu: To safeguard yourselves and those dear to you.
