Genshin Diaries

A Nightmare Mission- Adventure team assemble!

It was a bright sunny day, Katheryne had called for the Traveler to discuss some new guild commissions.

Traveler arrived shortly at the adventurers guild, Katheryne told him about a new commission of exploring the Dadaupa Gorge. Now since Dadaupa Gorge was a very big hideout of hilichurls and other monsters, not much was known about that place, so she highly recommended Traveler to take his trusted adventure team with him there.

Traveler knows the dangers very well, because the last time he wandered into that hideous region on his own, he found himself against so many enemies at once that he couldn't recall if he ever fought so many!

He almost lost his life that time, still can't remember how he escaped from that place. It would always be one of his worst adventuring memories.
However he is sure of the fact that with his adventuring team, no one could even lay a finger past Noelle's shield. But Noelle is so busy with her other works already, and barely gets any rest. He doesn't want to bother her anymore past her already extreme workshift.
He did want to have a claymore user by his side in this journey though, because exploring and fighting is very easy with claymore wielders.

Only the fact that he had no other friends who were claymore wielders was unfortunate. Also the fact that his most trusted companions are from Liyue only made things harder. Mondstadt would be comparatively newer area for them.
Nevertheless he decided to take at least someone who knew the secrets and depths of Mondstadt very well with him, because of course when the question of exploration comes the knowledge of potential dangers and secrets is a vital factor.

Traveler wasn't generally so cautious and thinker during his adventures and commissions (which shows his amount of trust in his adventure team), but since he had such a terrifying experience regarding this particular place before he is extra concerned this time.

After judging the pros and cons of everything, he finally teleported to Liyue to call for his trusted partners.
First of, he went to Bubu pharmacy to meet Qiqi. Luckily enough there was not much work in the pharmacy that day, and Dr Baizhu even helped traveler give some information he knew about Dadaupa Gorge, however Qiqi, not being familiar with Mondstadt at all did not want to accompany Traveler.

After many tries, he successfully convinced Qiqi to be willing to join, by saying, "There might be some clues about cocogoat over there. We might have been able to discover some clues only if... well if you don't want to come then I guess it's okay.."

"No.. cocogoat!
...
Qiqi wants to see cocogoat.
I will help you find any clues".
She had already forgotten the fact that this cocogoat she talks about, is a 'legendary adepti beast of Liyue' according to her.
Now that she accepted to accompany him, they both set out for the Jade chamber to meet Keqing.

Lady Keqing upon seeing both of them them greeted them into the Jade chamber. After hearing from the traveler about the situation, to his surprise, she readily said she'll be gladly accompanying them to their adventure. Traveler had expected that Keqing, being a very important figure in Liyue might be busy with some work.

However Lady Keqing was well aware of Traveler's earlier encounter at Dadaupa Gorge (She had a soft corner for Traveler and stalked him from time to time ), and wanted to protect the Traveler and their team from any such incident happening again.
Now that the three main members of Traveler's adventure team had joined hands, they set out for Mondstadt again, where they would need to seek help of another member who at least has good knowledge of Dadaupa Gorge.
