Chapter 184: Eula: Liyue people are really rich

~7 min read 1,289 words

"There is still some time before the banquet tonight; I wonder what plans you have next?"

On the dock, Beidou asked Luo Li and the others while directing the sailors to act.

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

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

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

Although most of the traces belonging to him had disappeared, only a few remnants remained.

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 will be 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 harbor and city that appeared more towering and massive 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 harbor, 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.

Whether it was their appearance or their attire.

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

Black and white mixed with lace trim, the long skirt reaching the ankles, hands folded and tucked at the lower abdomen, it was a look of a maid serving nobles.

Liyue people who were used to seeing maids had never seen such a maid, and they all curiously cast their attention.

Fortunately, everyone was accustomed to similar gazes.

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

After all, when she was in Mondstadt, people looked at her with disgust and exclusion, not with such amazement and heat as they did now.

Luo Li didn't quite understand this; could it be that the Mondstadt people's exclusionary psychology toward the Lawrence clan was enough to resist Eula's beauty?

If it were him, he would definitely try every means to get close to such a girl who had no one to protect her and give her crazy support.

Don't look at her cold appearance; in fact, her favorability rating would soar when raided.

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

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

Seeing that Luo Li's look at her was wrong, Eula looked at herself uncomfortably.

"Is there a problem somewhere?"

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

Raiden Makoto nodded in agreement: "Hmm, 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 better."

Eula gave a soft huff and responded as a matter of course: "I am the eldest daughter of the Lawrence clan; although it has declined, I am proficient in all the inherited etiquette."

Naturally flicking the short hair beside her ear, the cold girl was not wrong.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse; the Lawrence clan has inherited noble temperament and etiquette for thousands of years, possessing a profound 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 eye-catching.

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 in the seven nations; why don't we go and pick a few 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 only Noelle was indifferent; uh, looking at her slightly raised corners of her eyes, it seemed she wasn't as indifferent as she appeared on the surface.

Luo Li knew that the three women were definitely not moved by jewelry, but seeing them almost hold the same mood at this moment, there was a sense of inexplicable achievement.

Going 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 sign, Eula roughly knew the location of the group.

"It is indeed very lively."

I have to admit, compared to Mondstadt, Liyue, as a commercial city, is better in terms of passenger flow.

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

Just on this street, Eula saw a dazzling variety of goods..

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, and carts with steaming skewers and braised food.

In addition, there were also places where people gathered to gamble on jade, pointing and gesturing, and from time to time, screams and excited roars came, and it was clear at a glance whether they made money or lost money.

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

For example, Eula saw a shop with countless antiques, and heard people in the shop say that a porcelain bottle was worth half of Chihu Rock, another small incense burner was worshipped in front of the statue of Rex Lapis for thousands of years, and a teapot used by the Lord of the Rock.

Those were all rare treasures, unique.

The interesting thing is that this shop didn't put things out to sell for money, the shop owner just wanted to show off his treasures and show them to everyone.

Hearing someone ask for the price and getting a refusal, leaving with regret and reluctance, Eula couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Liyue people 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 while listening to her mutter.

Although the shop assistant's introduction was a bit smug, some of the things placed 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, and those who have no feeling for it will scoff at it.

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

This bustle and liveliness were more than a hundred times greater than in the game.

Until passing the middle section, suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the front.

"Tian Tie-Zui! Well said! Another one!"

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

"Hurry up, what happened later? Don't hide it!"

"..."

Listening to the impatient urging from the front, Luo Li looked up.

But 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?" ===== CHAPTER 186 =====
