*EULA'S POV*

Hmmm... there are considerably less Hilichurls around here than I expected. Have we really finally started to make an impact on the numbers of monsters roaming around the wilds of Mondstadt?

Or at least, that's what I'd like to think is the reason... I can't explain it, but I feel like there is something else at play here...


No point stressing about that now I suppose, I must keep moving on until I get to the spot specified in my commission. I must clear the blockade set up by the Hilichurls before the travelling transport arrives. Of course, this is not only for the safety of the one accompanying the Transport Balloon, but also to ensure that the resupply of the Angel's Share goes unhindered.

Tonight is my scheduled night to have a couple drinks with Outrider Amber after all, and I will not allow this event to be hindered because of a supply issue caused by these Hilichurl miscreants blocking the roads!


Oh? There's someone taking the same road as me, but they're coming from the direction I'm heading, they must have seen the roadblock and made their way back


Travelling Trader: "Aha! You look like you're coming from Mondstadt. Don't worry, these roads are clear now! It'll be safe for you to take this road all the way to the Stone Gate!"

Eula: "Excuse me? Your complete and utter lack of etiquette when speaking to a noble such as myself aside. Did you just mistake myself, a descendant of the Lawrence Clan, for a common traveller?"

Travelling Trader: "Well, I mean... you're using this road, ain't ya? Only place worth mentioning that it leads to is the transfer between Mondstadt and Liyue!"

Eula: "So... you came from Liyue then, I take it?"

Travelling Trader: "That's right!"

Eula: "And you didn't run into any roadblocks, or any other threats... at all?"

Travelling Trader: "Not a one! This has been one of the most uneventful trips I've ever had'ta make! Well... after I got past the Stone Gate I suppose, Liyue still is rife with troubles. The Knights of Favonius sure are something else, aren't they!"

Eula: "Hmph! Such crass assumptions! I suppose I will have to see this for myself then, rather than relying on your testimony."

Travelling Trader: "... Yeeeeah, I think we're done here. You, ma'am, need some serious improvements to your people skills."

Eula: "t-The nerve! Hey- Hey! Don't leave! Ugh, mark my words, veng-"

*WHOOSH!*

???: "-Heya Eula! What are you doing out here?"
