;(First interaction)
:Dewei: The Cloud Knights are on duty here. Please refrain from wandering around.
:Dewei: ...If it isn't the mighty (Trailblazer) who rounded up the rebels with the Cloud Knights! I've long heard of your reputation. After being transferred to Scalegorge Waterscape, I wondered if I'd get the chance to meet you. And well, here we are!
:Dewei: It's a shame that it's a bad time. I'm on duty right now. Just look at all these people going about their business peacefully. Who knows how many dark undercurrents still ripple beneath Scalegorge Waterscape, hidden just under the calm surface.
: Are there still remnants of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus nearby?
::Dewei: Yes. There're still a few Disciples of Sanctus Medicus lurking around here. So long as the Arbor and its legend exist, the Disciples will never truly be eradicated. I'm stationed here to give the few people remaining here a sense of security.
: Don't worry. Let me handle everything.
::Dewei: I appreciate your noblest of intentions, . But as long as the Arbor and its legend exist, the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus will never truly be eradicated. There's no way you and I alone could take them all out.
::Dewei: Luckily, the Seat of Divine Foresight acted quickly this time. These days, the Disciples can't get up to anything. I just need to stand here, and they dare not make a move.
:Dewei: Seeing as you are in such high spirits, I can't help but think of my own child... But let's not go there. I've got my post to uphold, so I can't chitchat. Is there anything else on your mind?

:Dewei: The Cloud Knights are on duty here. Please refrain from wandering around.
:Dewei: Why, if it isn't (Trailblazer)? How can I help you, ?
: Can we chat for a bit?
::Dewei: I may be on-duty, but who am I to refuse you? It should be fine to have a chat about something appropriate.
:: Did you volunteer to be transferred to Scalegorge Waterscape?
:::Dewei: You have a fantastic memory, . That's right. I volunteered for this Scalegorge Waterscape assignment. My son... He lost his life in combat against the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
:::Dewei: I couldn't sleep for many nights when I heard the news. I wanted to do something for him. He... He was still so young, and was just gifted a weapon of the Cloud Knights after he'd completed the ritual of his First Hunt.
:::Dewei: I was always against him enlisting with me, and it took its toll on our relationship.
:::Dewei: Thinking back over it, I still didn't understand him well enough. So I volunteered to transfer over to Scalegorge Waterscape. I want to be where he once fought, and do something for him...
:::Dewei: Even though it's already too late...
:: Are the of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus problematic?
:::Dewei: They lay dormant for so long, only to inflict such vicious damage... Of course they're problematic!
:::Dewei: In my opinion, all of these passers-by here with their ordinary faces and their ordinary clothes, any one of them could be a surviving remnant of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
:::Dewei: But we can't just interrogate them one-by-one. After all, this delve is under Vidyadhara rule, at least on paper.
:::Dewei: The general must have stationed us Cloud Knights here to keep an eye on the enemy's remnant forces.
:: Speaking of which, I've heard there are some Vidyadhara who refuse to comply?
:::Dewei: There sure are. The Vidyadhara's Lunarescent Depths are near Scalegorge Waterscape. That's where they undergo their hatching rebirth, and it's a sacred place... They don't like having so many armed troops around, so I can see where they're coming from.
:::Dewei: But I also hope they can understand where the Cloud Knights are coming from, too. As long as the devils were not completely quelled, the Alchemy Commission delve will never see peace. Sometimes I even envy these Vidyadhara, you know...?
::: Why did you get emotional all of a sudden, captain?
::::Dewei: Because the Vidyadhara can wash away all their troubles and get to start again with their hatching rebirth, but I have to keep on living with this burden of pain I bear.
::::Dewei: A few days back, I got a letter from the military affairs office asking me to undergo a test to check if I have any signs of mara. But even if I do, so what? I'm determined to keep on standing here to the bitter end.
::: Every family has their own difficulties.
::::Dewei: You're right. Maybe the Vidyadhara envy me, too?
:::Dewei: All in all, this situation won't last forever. I can promise you that.
: The crisis is finally over...
::Dewei: It is finally over. If my late son learned about it, I suppose he would feel relieved too.
:: He would be proud of you.
::Dewei: Me? Hahaha, you must be joking, (Trailblazer).
::Dewei: If I had been a father that he was proud of, he wouldn't have...
::Dewei: However, he was indeed a son that I was proud of.
: I won't bother you any further.
::Dewei: Off you go. Take care.
