00:00You were telling us the tale of the blonde traveler who caused a disturbance in fate.
00:06Now, where were we?
00:09Varka. Despite opposition from the church, he approved the request to borrow the Holy Liar.
00:17So, Barbados and Varka went to Starsnatch Cliff to summon Dvalin.
00:23But Varka's wisecracking angered Dvalin, who flew back to Storm Terra's lair.
00:30Varka and Barbados broke the seal and entered the lair.
00:34A fight to the death ensued between Varka and Dvalin, lasting one whole day and night.
00:41If I'm not mistaken, fighting a real dragon was always Varka's greatest wish.
00:48In the end, Varka defeated Dvalin, but sadly, they were unable to free Dvalin from the clutches of the Abyss.
00:58Barbados had no choice but to seal away the gravely wounded dragon.
01:05After that, Varka was celebrated as a hero for resolving the Storm Terra threat.
01:12After a long era of peace, Mondstadt was reminded once more how safe and courageous Grand Master made them feel.
01:19All doubts about the old school knights were swept away.
01:25Hmm... Good for him.
01:35It's hardly a perfect ending, though.
01:38Poor Dvalin.
01:41But at the same time, Varka could easily have been the hero.
01:46So why did he go on the expedition?
01:49Was it because of the disturbance in fate?
01:52Firstly, the pact with the Hexen Zirkle and the support of Barbados made him feel safer leaving Mondstadt.
02:01But of course, the real reason lies elsewhere.
02:05Do you remember when he requested to be the first challenger of the Hexen Zirkle's trial?
02:16I'm impressed. You have passed the trial. State your request.
02:24Huh? Request?
02:31I hadn't thought about that. I just wanted to put my strength to the test.
02:37Maybe I could get a peek at your scryglass?
02:40He looked into your scryglass.
02:43But what could an ordinary human hope to see?
02:48Hmm... Most people would see nothing.
02:51All that can be seen within the scryglass is that which fate itself wishes to reveal to you.
02:58What I can be sure of is that he saw a disaster.
03:04A calamity of abyssal origin has arisen in Nodcry.
03:09Its reach will soon extend to Mondstadt.
03:13Even now, this calamity is claiming many innocent lives.
03:18Both in Nodcry and the outskirts of Snashnaya.
03:24So that's why Varka launched his expedition to Nodcry?
03:30He lost no time in taking action.
03:33Clearly there is substance behind his talk of chivalry.
03:37Barbie, don't tell me. This was you testing him.
03:43Fate showed him the way. I didn't need to.
03:48All I know is that he truly is worthy of the Hexen Zirkle's support.
03:59In that case, I suppose he didn't see his destiny as a hero within the scryglass?
04:09Otherwise, why would he turn it down?
04:13Who would sacrifice the defining moment of their life to focus on the suffering of others?
04:21Huh?
04:23Well...
04:24Perhaps you underestimate him.
04:41I'll read this one later.
04:42And he will save me with his treasure.
04:44So I'm sure I will save him.
04:44He will save him.
04:49Let's go save him!
04:54I know he will save him for his treasure!
05:04Hey, man.
05:06Need a hand?
05:10That was rough.
05:11Never expected to run into the wild hunt here.
05:15You're the knights from Mondstadt, right?
05:17I know you.
05:19You're... wait.
05:20What was it?
05:22Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius.
05:24Knight of Bereas.
05:25Barca.
05:36Oh, thanks for the wine.
05:39That's better.
05:40I gotta ask.
05:42As the Grandmaster, shouldn't you be back home enjoying the Prestige and playing hero?
05:46Why are you out here roughing it like us mercs?
05:57Funny you should ask.
05:59I, uh...
06:03I dreamed that life once.
06:05Well, we'll call it a dream.
06:10I brushed shoulders with a god.
06:13We fought tooth and nail against a real-life dragon.
06:17And then, got a hero's welcome when I returned triumphant, raised a glass, and drank the night away.
06:35Hey, stop laughing.
06:37I'm telling you, it could have been me.
06:39Good.
06:39Bye.
06:41Bye.
06:43Bye.
06:49Bye.
06:51Bye.
06:53Bye.
