00:00Motze is gone, but his legacy lives on.
00:05The wise create, the skilled preserve, and the world calls them craftsmen.
00:13Moist Hill, home to these very craftsmen, hides deep within the mountain gorges, behind a roaring waterfall.
00:28They say secrets lie hidden behind the cascade.
00:32Beneath its towering gates rest ancient siege engines and crossbows, as deadly today as they were centuries ago.
00:49But in the jungle, danger always draws the daring.
00:54Strangely enough, besides the usual thrill seekers, some wanderer's eyes light up at the mere mention of hidden mechanisms.
01:15Survive every trial, and you will behold it.
01:19Moist City, a wonder of human craft.
01:24The heart of Moist Ingenuity.
01:30Legend says, in its golden age, gears roared, waters sang, and scholars' debates filled the air.
01:42Seek truth, reach the heaven above.
01:46With compass and square, measure the world below.
01:51A Moist's mind is the compass, their nature the square.
01:57And the one who leads them is no ordinary soul.
02:05This leader, who measures the heavens, is revered as Grand Master.
02:11Yet beyond these bounds, the world turns.
02:15And no rule is set in stone.
02:19Only at Jade Stream Valley, do the old water wheels and siphons still churn, and the landscape remains untouched.
02:30But to the ambitious, the scenery is merely a veil.
02:37All they wish to see, all they can see, are the marvels of craft hidden within.
02:48They say this place guards the Moist's ultimate secret.
02:53Perhaps beyond the deadly mechanisms lies some unimaginable treasure.
02:58But dig too deep, and you might just dig your own grave.
03:06To me, all the marvels of this world fade away.
03:12Gears rust.
03:14Empires fall.
03:17And even the grandest towers collapse.
03:19Between human affairs, and heaven's will, nothing lasts forever.
03:28As for the grand vision of ascension,
03:33I'd say it's nothing but a fool's dream.
03:38Most preach universal love, and not aggression.
03:41But has anyone truly seen a haven free of conflict?
03:49So many call themselves heroes, yet does the Xiongu bleed any less?
03:57Ideals are but fleeting lies.
04:00It is the human heart that is truly bottomless.
04:13Never mind.
04:14The wine is talking.
04:17But young master,
04:18for the sake of this fine drink,
04:21you must promise me,
04:23seek not to awaken its mechanisms.
04:28Seek not the Moist city.
04:31Better to just see a mountain as a mountain,
04:35and a river as a river.
04:37What remains hidden,
04:39just leave it be.
04:42That is true peace.
