Chapter 105

Looking at the things piled up in the cargo hold, the group staying on the deck was indeed affecting the unloading.

Thus, the group had to retreat to the dock.

"There is still some time before the evening banquet. What are your plans for now?"

On the pier, Beidou asked Luo Li and the others while directing the sailors.

According to the speed of unloading and preparation time, the evening banquet would be held in at least two hours.

Luo Li pondered for a moment and said: "It just so happens, we'll take this opportunity to stroll through the streets of Liyue."

For him, this was a return after five hundred years, and he wanted to take a good look at this city that was still prosperous.

Although most of the traces belonging to him had disappeared, only a few remaining shadows were left.

Beidou nodded: "That's fine, then I won't keep you. See you at Wanmin Restaurant in an hour or two! By the way, do you know Chihu Rock? The banquet is held there."

To prevent them from not finding the place, Beidou kindly reminded them.

"763" Luo Li waved his hand, signaling there was no need to worry.

"I'm very familiar with this place. Although there have been some changes over the years, the general structure and planning are still the same."

Looking at the port and city that looked even more towering and vast than five hundred years ago, Luo Li's eyes carried a sense of nostalgia.

"Alright, then see you all later!"

Bidding farewell to Beidou, Luo Li led the group up along the port, passing by the warehouse of the General Affairs Office.

Perhaps because they had rarely seen such a combination, the group attracted a lot of attention.

Both in terms of appearance and attire.

Especially Noelle, not because her appearance was the most outstanding, but because of her refreshing, authentic maid outfit.

Black and white interlaced with lace trim, the long skirt reaching her ankles, her hands clasped at her lower abdomen—she was truly the image of a maid serving nobility.

The people of Liyue, accustomed to seeing servant girls, had never seen such a maid and paid attention to them with novelty.

Fortunately, everyone was accustomed to similar gazes.

Well... maybe Eula wasn't quite used to it.

After all, when she was in Mondstadt, people looked at her with disgust and rejection; how could it be like this, full of amazement and heat?

Luo Li didn't quite understand this. Could it be that the Mondstadt people's rejection of the Lawrence clan was enough to resist Eula's beauty?

If it were him, he would definitely try every possible way to get close to such a girl who was loved by no one and give her crazy support.

Don't let her cold exterior fool you; in reality, her affection level shoots up the moment you start winning her over.

It wouldn't take much effort to win the beauty's heart.

Sigh, people blinded by hatred really can't see the beauty of the world.

Seeing that Luo Li's look at her was not right, Eula looked at herself uncomfortably.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, it's just that changing into a set of attire gives a different feeling."

Raiden Makoto followed suit, nodding and saying: "Yes, more like an elegant noble lady, rather than a knight. It's a pity you didn't change into a gown, otherwise your charm would be even greater."

Eula snorted lightly and accepted it as a matter of course: "I am the eldest daughter of the Lawrence clan after all. Although it has fallen, I am proficient in all the inherited etiquette."

Naturally flicking the short hair by her ear, the cold girl was not wrong in saying this.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse; the Lawrence clan has inherited a thousand years of noble temperament and etiquette, possessing a deep foundation that upstarts can never reach.

Just the pace of walking and the grasp of tone have dozens of ways.

It's a bit cumbersome, but the girls cultivated are indeed enviable.

Luo Li nodded in agreement and added: "However, even the most beautiful flower needs green leaves to set it off. It just so happens that I heard the jewelry of Liyue's Mingxing Jewelry is famous across the seven nations. Why don't we go and pick a few pieces for you now?"

Eula was quite moved.

Although Raiden Makoto was not interested in worldly things, if it was a gift from him, it had another meaning, so she readily agreed.

Perhaps Noelle was the only one present who didn't care. Uh, looking at her slightly raised eyes, it seemed she wasn't as indifferent as she appeared on the surface.

Luo Li knew that the three women were by no means people moved by jewelry, but seeing them almost share the same mood at this moment, he had an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Walking up along the General Affairs Office warehouse, the four came to a prosperous street surrounded by clear pools.

"Hmm, is this Chihu Rock?"

Through the notice board, Eula roughly knew their location.

"It is indeed very lively."

One has to admit that compared to Mondstadt, Liyue, as a commercial city, is superior in terms of passenger flow alone.

Liyue, which started with the mining industry, gradually developed a series of businesses, attracting people from all over the world.

Just on this street alone, Eula saw a dazzling array of various goods...

The street shops, stalls, and vendors stretched for several miles, and one couldn't see the end at a glance, which was amazing.

Stalls selling toys, masks, and kites, carts displaying steaming skewers and braised food.

Besides that, there were also people pointing at places where they were gambling on jade stones, and from time to time, there were screams and excited roars; whether they made money or lost was clear at a glance.

The further they went, the more new and strange things they would find.

For example, Eula saw a shop displaying countless antiques. People in the shop said that one porcelain bottle was worth half of Chihu Rock, another small incense burner was offered in front of the Rex Lapis statue for a thousand years, and there was also a teapot used by Rex Lapis.

Those were all treasures, unique in the world.

What's interesting is that this shop doesn't display things to sell them to make money; the shop owner just wants to show off his treasures and display them for everyone to see.

Hearing someone ask for the price and then get the answer that it's not for sale, and then leave with regret and reluctance, Eula couldn't help but click her tongue.

"People in Liyue are really rich."

Opening a shop just to show off, it's the first time I've heard of it. If there were such a person in Mondstadt, they would have been scolded for having a problem with their brain.

Luo Li chuckled, and couldn't help but cast his gaze over as he heard her mutter.

Although the shop assistant was a bit smug when introducing, some of the things displayed inside were indeed true.

As for the value of the bragging, this is a matter of opinion.

For those who like it, it is a priceless treasure; for those who have no feeling, they scoff at it.

As they went deeper into Chihu Rock, there were more and more objects that could attract attention.

This hustle and bustle was more than a hundred times greater than in the game.

Until they passed the middle section, they suddenly heard a round of applause from the front.

"Tian Tiezu! Well told! Come again!"

"You can't stop here, otherwise I'll smash your storytelling house!"

"Tell us quickly, what happened later? Don't hide it!"

"..."

Listening to the impatient urging from the front, Luo Li raised his eyes to look.

But he saw a large group of people sitting at tables and chairs drinking tea, listening to a middle-aged man on the stage telling something with great emotion.

"Oh, this is... storytelling?"
