The million-Mora question is: Where did he go? Stevens: Many other details need corroborating, too. Stevens: Since there is no record of his return in Mondstadt, however. But, these journals suggest there's a chance that one of them, called Eberhart, may have managed to escape. Paimon doesn't get it! Stevens: Well, all the evidence - or lack thereof - would suggest that not one member of the investigation returned to Mondstadt. Although there are still a fair few minor details to straighten out, the overal picture is becoming very clear. Stevens: Now, we finally have answers to the questions of why so little information on the investigation appears elsewhere - and why nothing of relevance beyond the initial departure of the team is recorded in the annals. Stevens: These journals you found will help fill in some major gaps in the historical record. There is a serious dearth of detail on this topic in the existing literature, as all the available sources only make passing reference to some mysterious investigation team formed once by the aristocrats. Stevens: Thank you, these investigation journals are of rather significant historical value. What have you found out? Stevens: Oh, uh. Stevens: You found the rest of them? Amazing! Here, let me take a look. (Return to Stevens after obtaining all three journals) About those journals. What's written inside? Paimon's curious! (Upon investigating the shelves in Starglow Cavern) Paimon: This should be the journal we're looking for. Never mind, let's take a look! (Open the Exquisite Chest in the "secret chamber") Paimon: This should be the journal we're looking for. (Obtain Ancient Investigation Journal: Part I after opening the Exquisite Chest nearby) Paimon: This should be the journal we're looking for.
This door's huge! Do you think the journal is somewhere around here? (Upon approaching the "cellar in the southwestern ruins") Paimon: This is one of the locations mentioned by Stevens too. Stevens: Thank you for agreeing to this, and please be careful out there! Stevens: One of them was where you found this - so that leaves two more. The team investigated three sites in total. A reward for your great contribution to academic research. Stevens: But for helping me, I will make sure to provide you with compensation of a suitably material nature. Stevens: Haha, in terms of material wealth. Stevens: Really? Thank you ever so much! Depends if there's treasure. Stevens: Would you be willing to go back into the mountains and see if you can find any more of them? Leave it to me! Stevens: If this is one of the journals kept by that investigation team, it will serve as an immensely valuable historical source for researchers. Stevens: For some reason, though, the annals provide next to no details about what the investigation team found. Stevens: I remember one of them, from before the time of the Knights of Favonius, talked about a team sent by the aristocrats to investigate the mountain. Stevens: Once, on a research trip, I read some ancient historical annals. A treasure trove of knowledge for the history enthusiast, I mean. Stevens: Wow, what a find! This is a priceless treasure. Stevens: Huh? Up on the mountain? Let me take a look. Paimon: (Traveler), Paimon bets these will be of great value- Um, historical value to someone. (After picking up an Ancient Investigation Journal) Paimon: What's this? Paimon: Seems like some sort of records left behind by someone who once investigated the area.
