Chen Qianyu
No ... I only found you after I woke up.
Chen Qianyu
She's not a bad person, just ... a bit money-minded. Can't blame her, though — her people have it tough.
Chen Qianyu
If she's made it to the top, her people are bound to be nearby.
Chen Qianyu
We play along — and flip the script.
Chen Qianyu
I'm sure Perlica's fine... She's tough and skilled.
Chen Qianyu
Yeah. I first met her when I was practicing swordmancy outside Wuling City.
Chen Qianyu
She kept butting in, throwing advice everywhere. One thing led to another, and we became sparring partners.
Chen Qianyu
Wooo, I got an idea...
Chen Qianyu
Anyway, if this really is Qingbo Stockade's turf, we better play it safe.
Chen Qianyu
Ah! That? Well, I didn't really get dragged out... It's more like me failing the trials...
Chen Qianyu
Aiyo. Let's just leave talking about ME for another day. Our top priority is to look for Perly!
Tangtang
Done jawing? Qingbo Stockade's all about survival — as long as the hills stay green, there'll always be firewood to burn.
Tangtang
You two are my "green hills," alright? Drop me some good loot, and I'll let you walk. Not gonna gut you dry. Ain't my style.
E
Endmin & Chen
Supreme Chief!
Tangtang
Nyaa?
Chen Qianyu
Chief, you know it, right? How Wuling threw me out cold and callously, without any mercy!
Chen Qianyu
Well now I'm back. I'm back to show them Wulingers — they were wrong, that decision was utterly, completely wrong!
Chen Qianyu
I've never forgotten the shame. It still haunts me. Luckily, I ran into my new boss.
Chen Qianyu
The one and only Endministrator of Endfield!
Tangtang
En-end what? Never heard of it. Whatever.
Tangtang
So you rolled back in here just to give Wuling hell?
Chen Qianyu
You bet I did!
Tangtang
Hehheh. But look at you now, Chen. Full of fire! You're one tough cookie!
Tangtang
Hmph! Well said. Can't deny that!
Tangtang
Ah, now I get it. So this is what you are up to.
Chen Qianyu
Chief, actually we are looking for a girl. Please — you've got to help us. She's a white-haired Liberi. Name's Perlica. She's one of us.
Chen Qianyu
She ... she's a smart one. She's got tricks and knows tactics. She could be our trump card against Mi Fu and her watchguards!
Tangtang
Oh...?
Tangtang
Hmph, consider it done! Finding your little pal is child's play for me.
Chen Qianyu
Oh, stop it, Chief. I'm nothing in front of YOU. You're tougher than any of us here!
Tangtang
Hehheh, tracking folks isn't easy around here. You're lucky I'm on it.
Tangtang
Wha...?
Tangtang
Hmm ... thinking back, you were totally bawling your eyes out when you left. I almost thought you'd lose it.
Chen Qianyu
That was... Wait, how did you...
Tangtang
You made the right choice! Around here, only we Qingbo Stockaders have the guts to go head-on with Wuling.
Tangtang
Did you just say, Mi Fu?
Chen Qianyu
Exactly!
Tangtang
You mean that rude, rough, mad woman who nicked my favorite handcannon like it was nothing?
Chen Qianyu
Absolutely!
Tangtang
Okay! I got you covered!
Chen Qianyu
Perlica!
?
???
With us? Look at how they're dressed. They don't look like one of us.
Perlica
As I have explained, we are not part of Wuling. We are from Endfield. We do not want to start any conflict with you.
Perlica
That was legitimate self-defense. They should be regaining consciousness soon.
Tangtang
HAHA! Good! I'm impressed!
R
Ruan Yi
...*Sigh*.
R
Ruan Yi
Sneaking off to the limestone cave again, huh? Told you to stick to the Stockade these days.
Tangtang
Aiyo, girl needs some fresh air!
Tangtang
I ran into these guys on the way. Told me they're fixing to mess with Wuling City, so I stepped in and brought them under!
Tangtang
Aiya, just trust me on this, bro...
Perlica
So ... what's happening now?
Tangtang
Bro!
Perlica
Endmin, Chen... I'm so glad you're both alright.
Chen Qianyu
Leave this to us.
?
???
Tangtang...? What are you doing out here?
Tangtang
Put your fist down, bro. They're with us.
?
???
But you just injured my men.
Tangtang
Thought you just had brains, but you're an artful caster — could be a big help for sure!
?
???
Tangtang...
Tangtang
Chillax, bro. Let me clear up this little mix-up for you. These guys roll with me.
Tangtang
Look at this goofball — ring any bells? She's Chen Qianyu! She got kicked out before, now she's back to shake things up. I can't miss that!
Tangtang
Hey, quit standing there like a bunch of goobers.
Tangtang
This is my big brother, Qingbo Stockade's first mate — Ruan Yi!
Tangtang
Think, how long's it been since we last opened for biz? All thanks to those splatters.
Tangtang
Don't matter if they're serious about throwing down. For now, we can boss them around a bit!
Tangtang
If we don't get these folks to fix our waterwheelies, what, we gonna run crying to the Wuling City Tianshi?
R
Ruan Yi
I'm with you on most things. But ... bringing outsiders into Stockade affairs?
Tangtang
C'mon, bro, don't be so rockheaded! Times're getting tougher — we gotta do something, right?
Chen Qianyu
Endmin, that was some solid acting!
Tangtang
Darkmask, Green Scales, watch your step. This route's real slick and risky.
Chen Qianyu
Darkmask...? Green Scales...?
Tangtang
What? Every Stockader has a nickname! Rule's rule!
Tangtang
You ain't gonna holler your baby names before those Tianshi and nosy watchguards, are you?
Chen Qianyu
Tangtang, have you been target practicing?
Tangtang
Heh heh. Eager to spar with me, aren't ya? Winning won't come so easy for you now!
Tangtang
Hmm... That didn't come out right...

Story update
With Tangtang's help, you and Chen Qianyu successfully find Perlica. To reach Wuling City, you decide to follow Tangtang to Qingbo Stockade.
Radio
Tangtang
These splatters just keep coming! Is there no end to them?
Chen Qianyu
Splatters...? Sounds like a fitting name for these Aggeloi.
Chen Qianyu
The Supreme Chief has to do grunt work?
Tangtang
So what? Work's a badge of honor!
Tangtang
Hey Chen, you seem close with this white-haired Liberi. Pulled some tricks on her?
Perlica
......
Chen Qianyu
Well, excuse you! We're just two like-minded souls, alright?
Tangtang
Oho, our dopey lung got lucky!

What does this Yanese character mean...?
?
???
Ah. Finally. Other fellow travelers.
Chen Qianyu
We-uh ... we came here for the scenery. You're not local, right?
Perlica
Are you here by yourself?
?
???
Yes, it seems that way for now.
Chen Qianyu
This place is getting pretty unsafe. Are you sure you'll be alright roaming around on your own?
?
???
Hahah. Well, I did have quite a few companions at the beginning.
?
???
But in the end ... I was the only one left.
?
???
No matter. I assume you are heading towards Wuling City as well?
Chen Qianyu
Endmin?
?
???
Most gladdening. It will be delightful to converse with fellow travelers along the way.
?
???
Ah. Apologies. I am afraid I have yet to fully introduce myself.
?
???
I am a traveler who hails from ... Kjersch.
Perlica
The Free City of Kjersch? The one bound by a ring of snow-capped mountains?
?
???
Hmm. You actually know the place.
?
???
Will you kindly instruct me on how to activate this raft? I am afraid my knowledge of Yanese technology is rather limited.
Perlica
It is agreed then... We shall travel together.
?
???
Ardashir is my name. As you can see, I am a traveler who intends to visit every corner of this world.
?
???
Are you also trying to cross the river? I honestly don't know how to activate this...
?
???
My intent was to cross this river and visit Wuling City. I did not expect the vehicles here to be completely unmanned...
Tangtang
See that? Our Stockade's right up ahead past this part.
Tangtang
You could've rolled straight into Wuling City from there. Too bad the way was cut off lately.
Perlica
When did that happen...?
Tangtang
Uh, couple of weeks back?
R
Ruan Yi
Two weeks.
Tangtang
Whatever, the way's blocked for now. C'mon, follow me!
Radio
Perlica
Ruan Yi seems strongly opposed to outsiders interfering in their affairs.
Perlica
If we want to investigate Nefarith, we must proceed with caution and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Perlica
Don't worry, Endmin. I'm alright.
Perlica
I ... appreciate it.
Perlica
Nefarith really is in Wuling, and she has found herself a mysterious ally... Things are getting out of control.
Chen Qianyu
Mhm, we must hurry to Wuling City and tell Viceroy Zhuang about this.
Perlica
That girl, Tangtang, why did she say we are with her...
Perlica
Hmm... Slightly improper, but an effective exit strategy.
Perlica
...Like Chen said, we are operating on Qingbo Stockade's territory. Neither confronting them directly nor sneaking past them seems viable.
Tangtang
Hey, Darkmask! Listen up!
Tangtang
Ahem, deal's settled!
Tangtang
Hmph. You wanna go to Wuling City, right? Too bad the way's been cut off.
Chen Qianyu
Cut off?
Tangtang
Only problem is, our Stockade has some little troubles recently, so taking that path may take some effort...
Tangtang
See where I'm getting at, right?
Tangtang
Decide quick, then come knocking!
Perlica
And unless I misheard, she also said we're to stir up trouble in Wuling City. What's that about?
Perlica
And since Nefarith has already made her move, the locals might provide some clues.
Tangtang
You can roll with us, but you're fresh meat and you roughed up our brothers — gotta earn our trust first. No freebies.
Tangtang
Relax, Qingbo's got tricks up its sleeve!
Radio
Tangtang
Got water? Hurry and pour it in that mechanism!
Perlica
Looks like life at Qingbo Stockade is tough too...
Perlica
Wuling may have stunning scenery, but that doesn't change how harsh this land really is.

You arrive at Qingbo Stockade, only to find it under attack by the Aggeloi. The immediate priority is to rescue the endangered Stockaders.
Dialogue
Tangtang
Good thing we moved fast. Everyone's safe and here.
Tangtang
Honestly, when I took you in, I just wanted some free labor to help with Stockade chores.
Tangtang
Didn't expect you to rescue my fam, fix the bridge, and take down splatters... Gotta admit, you're really good!
Tangtang
Alright, listen up, folks!
Tangtang
This one here is Darkmask, aka the Endministrator, aka the boss of Endfield.
Tangtang
From now on, Qingbo Stockade and Endfield are united! Their problems are my problems!
Chen Qianyu
Haha... Oh well, maybe we went a little overboard with the act?
Perlica
It's a surprising development to get local backing. Let's take it step by step.
S
Stonefang
Chief! Chief! We found them—
S
Stonefang
The missing group, they ... they're trapped at a small reef, hiding from the splatters.
Chen Qianyu
Tangtang, these folks in trouble. We can help!
Chen Qianyu
No no, we were just doing our part...
R
Ruan Yi
Tangtang's right.
R
Ruan Yi
We all know what this world is like. Not many have shown us such kindness.
Perlica
Such is the belief of Endfield: we shall never forsake anyone.
R
Ruan Yi
Endfield...? What exactly does Endfield do?
R
Ruan Yi
......
Tangtang
So long as they're on my turf, I got them covered!
Tangtang
Da Jiang! How'd you get so banged up!?
D
Da Jiang
*Cough* Argh... Chief... Those splatters...
Perlica
Shhh, save your strength! Let's get you treated first.
Chen Qianyu
Endmin, time to put them down!
Radio
Perlica
People need help. Let's head in.
R
Ruan Yi
If you need us to do anything, just say the word.
Chen Qianyu
Hold on, Perlica! Is this Fluid Tank...!?
Perlica
...Yes, it's a product from Endfield...
Perlica
We had some trading partnerships with Wuling, and it seems the people here may have ... "borrowed" the tank from them.
Chen Qianyu
Water's risen! We can now get the injured out!
Tangtang
I'll take you to the first waterwheelie to have a look.
Tangtang
See? It's just over there.
Tangtang
Hm? Who's that over there?
Tangtang
Darkmask, you got a way to fix this drawbridge, yeah?
Perlica
It seems to be powered by the waterwheels next to it.

Compared to Valley IV, it's way too peaceful here...
Chen Qianyu
You mean ... there's danger lurking behind Qingbo Stockade?
Tangtang
Hey, Liberi, you really got skills! Knew you'd be useful!
Tangtang
I told Da Jiang to get some rest. I'll handle the bridge repairs.
Perlica
Perhaps we can lend a hand too.
Perlica
......
Perlica
Not a single denstack or camp.
Tangtang
Nice! I'm sure that we just need to ... pour some clean water into that mechanism there, then the bridge moves... Think we can use lake water?
Tangtang
Here, take these Ferrium Bottles and fill them up with water.
Radio
Chen Qianyu
Maybe we shouldn't keep running around. There's an important thing we need to take care of.
Chen Qianyu
Chief, why are you frowning like that?
Tangtang
Wha? What're you talking about?
Tangtang
I'm ... I'm just a little worried. Really, just a little!

There they are!

Qing, you made a really clever move! How'd you figure out to bring everyone here for shelter?
Q
Qingwu
Heheh. I learned about emergency survival tactics at the Tianshi Bureau...
Tangtang
That's our Delicate Bead, never fails to impress!
Q
Qingwu
P-Please, Chief, no more embarrassing nicknames! I'll take everyone back now.
Tangtang
Don't be silly. Qing's been with us for years since she left Wuling City!
Chen Qianyu
From the city? You don't look like the others around here either... Are you new as well?
Radio
Perlica
Looks like no major clashes have happened between the residents and the Landbreakers.
Chen Qianyu
This doesn't feel like how Nefarith would do things.
Tangtang
What? What are they trying to say? Open ... the sluice?
Perlica
Looks like we need to get the bamboo rafts floating.
Tangtang
Uh... All that ducking probably shut their brains off. Guess they forgot they'd be trapped too...

Okay, Big Bro.

Dialogue
Chen Qianyu
I've only stayed at Wuling for a year or so, but it's the prettiest city I've ever seen.
Chen Qianyu
It's a form of Blight. Wuling is built next to lakes and rivers. So, the local Blight tends to be associated with water, and will look a little different from the Blight we see in Valley IV.
Chen Qianyu
And since Wuling is close to rivers, the regular tides also intensify Blight activity in the city. But it's no big deal to the locals. They're used to it.
Chen Qianyu
I saw her from afar a couple of times when I was assigned to Wuling for my training...
Chen Qianyu
The only thing I know about her is that she's the youngest Viceroy in charge of an HAS developmental district.
Chen Qianyu
As for other things... They're mostly gossip and hearsay.
Chen Qianyu
People say she never sleeps. If she gets angry, the skies will darken with booming thunderclouds. Some even claim that she's a secret chief leading the Tianshi Bureau of Great Yan...
Chen Qianyu
I, uh... I was only there for around a year! I've actually been an Endfielder for longer than that!
Chen Qianyu
And it was a while ago. There's really nothing much to say.
Chen Qianyu
I can't stand the thought of this peachy sanctuary getting attacked... Endmin, we gotta hurry.
Chen Qianyu
Her students really worship her. That's why the stories keep getting crazier.
Chen Qianyu
Let's not dally, then. Time to move out.

Haha! Darkmask, why didn't we have you at the Stockade earlier!
R
Ruan Yi
...You've been smiling a lot today.
Perlica
I'm glad we could help. To be honest, we have plenty of questions and doubts too...
R
Ruan Yi
"Landbreakers" ... those freaks only started showing up recently, and we don't really know where they are hiding.
R
Ruan Yi
Whatever their plan is, Qingbo Stockade won't be scared off.
R
Ruan Yi
They've caused trouble over the years, but lately, they've been way more active.
R
Ruan Yi
I've been dealing with them for quite some time, and I picked up a few life-saving tricks along the way.
Tangtang
Oi, Darkmask, remember our deal from earlier?
Tangtang
Well, you probably seen those waterwheelies, right?
Tangtang
They run the gate to the path going to Wuling City. But lately they been acting up one after another.
Tangtang
We tried fixing them, but never got it done.
Perlica
Please take us to the place. We'll have a look.
Tangtang
Ha? Really?
R
Ruan Yi
Ever since things went downhill in the Stockade, you've been frowning nonstop.
Tangtang
That's so not true! I ALWAYS—
R
Ruan Yi
You can't fool me. I'm your brother.
R
Ruan Yi
Thank you for everything. I really appreciate it.
R
Ruan Yi
They haven't made any major moves yet, like they're waiting for something. And with their limited numbers, the Landbreakers don't pose a real threat for now.
R
Ruan Yi
The splatters love to lurk in polluted waters and strike out of nowhere.
