Walking through the roads of Liyue, (Y/N) had decided to make his way towards the lands of the Anemo Archon, Mondstadt.

Despite his time in Teyvat since he reincarnated, he had never been to the City of Freedom because he spent most of his time in Liyue during the archon war and Inazuma afterward.

*Flashback*

(Y/N) finished explaining to Morax what had seen during Harvest Festival.

Morax: So you're saying the goddess who killed you trapped two blonde travelers from another world?

(Y/N): Yeah, she said that in time she would release them in Teyvat, but I don't know where and when she will. It seems I've hit a dead end here...

Morax: That might not be the case.

(Y/N): Hmm? Do you have any ideas?

Morax: Well, If I recall correctly, I have heard tell of a blonde outlander from another world who usually resides in Mondstadt. Now I can't say for sure that she's one of the people you're looking for, but it seems that you don't have any other options.

(Y/N): I've never actually been to Mondstadt before. What's it like?

Morax: It's much more laid back than Liyue and Inazuma. Similar to how Liyue values the concept of contracts and Inazuma values the concept of eternity, Mondstadt values freedom granted by the anemo archon, Barbatos.

(Y/N): Freedom, huh?

Morax: Indeed. A couple of hundred years ago, Mondstadt was under the oppressive rule from the corrupt aristocracy. Barbatos could not stand for the suffering of his people, and alongside the hero Venessa, the two led a rebellion and liberated Mondstadt from the iron grip of the aristocrats.

(Y/N): Well, I can see why they value freedom above all else

Morax: Yes, Barbatos wished for his people to live their lives as they wished to, as long as it never impeded the freedom of others. Since the fall of the aristocracy, Mondstadt has prospered due to its lucrative wine industry. So much so that alcohol is a big part of its culture.

(Y/N): Hmm, well, it's not like I can get drunk anyways. But regardless, This outlander you mentioned is the only lead I have... I guess this is goodbye, for now, old friend.

Morax: Take care (Y/N). I wish you good fortune on your journey.

(Y/N): Thank you, Morax. I'll be sure to come back to visit whenever I can.

*Flashback End*

Of course, (Y/N) could've flown to his destination, but he felt it was better not to rush in case any nearby towns needed help. Although the situation in Khaenri'ah had subsided, the fallout had a massive effect. The monsters had spread across Teyvat, building encampments and raiding settlements along the way, posing a threat to those who lacked combat ability.

As he continued down the road, he noticed a small village in the distance. Approaching the village, he saw a directional signpost that denoted the location as Springvale.
