“Eh? So, Yuya knows Kaia… Wow, I feel uneasy just thinking about it!”
Amber couldn't help rubbing her arms, seeming to be very worried about her sister Youya's acquaintance with such a dangerous person.
Qin then remembered that she had indeed seen Youya before, and in this very venue. She and her sworn brothers discovered that someone was watching them train.
When thinking about the figure of one of the girls in a wheelchair, it is obvious that she matches Youya.
Not long after that, Kaeya accidentally went to the church hospital to recuperate because of a sparring match. Senior Diluk should still remember this.
Sure enough, when Qin looked at Diluk, he nodded slightly, agreeing with her idea.
"I hope Kaia didn't cause her any trouble then."
"I'm still listening. What brother would always suspect his younger brother of causing trouble for him?"
Kaia asked in mock dissatisfaction.
"Hmph - there's no younger brother who always causes trouble for his older brother, right?"
Diluk started arguing with him as usual.
"You two have a really good relationship."
Youya maintained her innocent smile.
Soon, the two young men were seen turning their heads away arrogantly, refusing to admit it.
Afterwards, with Jean's mediation, everyone officially got to know each other, and Amber also told the others why they were so resistant to Kaia.
"In the past, after I got into trouble, I thought I should hide it well, but every time, my grandfather found out. Even the neighbors would make fun of me for my embarrassing incidents."
Amber made a bitter face.
“So I thought about finding out who was spreading rumors about me, and I found out that I was on a list I didn’t even recognize, and the person who made the list was Kaia.
Although I felt a sense of accomplishment at first when I saw my friends talking about what I had done, but when my grandfather heard about it too many times, I felt embarrassed even for myself.
So after that, I remembered this guy's name and thought about finding a chance to play a trick on him, but every time I failed, I was unlucky. "
This disagreement has continued to this day.
Chapter 66: Eula on her way home
——Eula is on her way back.
It is not an easy task to hike out from the depths of the snow-capped mountains, not to mention that she also needs to hone her Ice Seal during this period.
We stopped and walked along the way and managed to get out of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain before the next snowstorm. It can be said that we were "blessed by the God of Wind".
After finally being able to see the adventurer camp at the foot of the mountain from the vast snow scene, her tense mental state relaxed a little.
No matter what, after staying in the uninhabited snow-capped mountains for so long, it is a happy thing to come out and see people again.
(…Although they may not be happy about it.)
When Eula first entered the snow mountain, she did not stay here. Besides being arrogant at that time and thinking that she would be able to complete the trial quickly, she also did not want to be scolded for no reason.
But after this trial of overcoming the past, these little things, which she had almost become accustomed to, could no longer move her.
Now she wanted to find a place to have a good rest, recuperate, and then go back to Lawrenceburg to settle accounts with Wes.
After making up her mind, Eula quickened her pace, but something was unexpected.
Unlike what she had expected, where she would be looked down upon or scolded as soon as she entered, most people in the camp were in a hurry.
It is summer now, and there are more adventurers heading to the snow mountains for exploration. They need to plan detailed mountaineering plans and prepare various emergency supplies.
However, most of them looked sad at the moment, as if they were upset about something, so they didn't notice Eula who came in, which made her feel happy and comfortable.
This camp is not big, and it is even difficult to call it a qualified stronghold. It is just a random place to camp among the ruins at the foot of the mountain.
These large building wreckages are only enough to block the wind at night, similar to a rest stop in front of a snowy mountain, specifically providing some convenience for those who come to see the snowy mountain scenery or for adventure.
There is also a vacant tent rental service available here, which includes some necessary daily necessities.
She directly found the person in charge standing under the largest tent based on the different clothes.
She has shoulder-length hair that is jet black and shiny, and she doesn't look like a Mond.
A race that is closer to the people of Mondstadt's neighboring country, Liyue.
This is how it is for adventurers. It's not surprising to see people from any country, and the other party obviously noticed her.
To be more precise, he noticed her tattered snow boots.
The young female leader couldn't help but frown, and hurriedly called her over, asking Eula to take off her shoes and prepare to treat her frostbite.
This kind of strange kindness made her feel a little uncomfortable. After she told the other party directly that she was the holder of the Eye of God, the other party nodded doubtfully.
It was not until Eula gave her name and showed her iconic Eye of God that she completely believed it and introduced herself.
"My name is Yuxia. I'm from the Adventurer's Association, and I can be considered the person in charge here. My main job is to organize adventurers who want to explore the snowy mountains to form teams, and to teach them some experience and tips on adventuring in the snowy mountains to prevent them from dying in vain."
When mentioning this, Yuxia also looked at the girl in front of her again.
"But it seems that Miss Eula no longer needs these."
"Well, I've walked around inside. The low temperature, monsters, and rugged terrain inside are indeed more dangerous than I thought when I first entered."
In fact, Eula still felt a little grateful that she had obtained the Eye of God with ice attribute. At least in a place like the snow mountain, her combat power would not be weakened much, and there would even be a hidden bonus.
If it were an Eye of God with other attributes, it would probably be affected to varying degrees.
"Correct view." After nodding, Yuxia asked again: "Then, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"I want to rest in the camp for a night. Do you have any vacant tents for rent? I'll pay Mora."
"I have a spare one I can lend you, no need for Mora. But I won't be able to provide lunch and dinner."
At this point, Yuxia's face showed a mixture of apology and distress.
"It's okay. I have enough dry food with me."
Eula nodded without surprise, but she was also not good at just accepting other people's kindness. She asked anyway out of the desire to do something to make up for it.
"Is there a shortage of supplies in the camp? When I came in earlier, I saw several adventurers discussing this matter."
Yuxia looked at her for a while, as if she was hesitating whether to say it or not, but facing those eyes that were as firm and icy as ice, she finally sighed and confessed.
"That's right. In addition to the supplies brought by the adventurers, the camp also has some supplies regularly delivered by the association. However, there was a blizzard a few days ago, and a lot of our food reserves were consumed that time.
We thought it was not a big deal since the next supply was not far away, but when the deadline passed, the supply truck still hadn’t arrived. We learned from the reply that it had been robbed by the treasure-stealing group.”
"...A group of treasure hunters?"
Eula murmured the name, and information about them emerged in her mind.
This is a loose organization of thieves whose footprints are spread all over the continent, and even deep into unknown secret places.
The treasure-stealing group has no real leader, and is divided into various factions. Some specialize in robbing the rich and helping the poor, while others specialize in picking on the weak.
After all, apart from their endless pursuit of treasure, the only thing these people have in common is that they all became bandits.
In addition, most of the members are poor and uneducated, and they usually act in masks. The gap between this group of people and bandits is not as big as imagined. Most of them are treasure-stealing groups that will actively rob caravans.
However, it is unlikely that these thieves would directly rob the Adventurer's Association's supply truck in a year like this. (At least it is not their main business.)
It would be easy for the Adventurer's Association to send good people to deal with them. Unless they really can't survive, they rarely do such provocative things directly.
After all, we are all in the underworld, and no one wants to cut off his own retreat without any reason.
"Alas, thanks to these guys, all adventure activities in the Snow Mountain Camp have to be temporarily suspended. We need to spend extra time collecting supplies. It's such a waste of such good weather."
Yuxia was obviously very troubled by this matter.
However, there was not much Eula could do to help. After all, she was not a member of the Knights Templar, nor an adventurer. It was impossible for her to defeat the treasure-hunting groups roaming around in various places by herself.
I could only help tell Yuxia about what I saw and heard in the snow mountains, and updated the snow mountain map, which was considered to be a deal breaker.
After borrowing a tent from Yuxia, she found an open space and camped inside to rest. Lunch and dinner were better than she had expected, when she could only eat dry food.
There was also a chef named Harris in the camp. After borrowing the stove from him, Eula prepared a good dinner for herself, especially the carrot and vegetable soup. The feeling of warming up the body after drinking it was great.
After a good night's sleep, Youla said goodbye to Yuxia and set off for Lawrence's base.
After getting enough rest, she managed to return to the vicinity of Lawrenceburg before sunset, but the situation there was not good.
Or, to be more precise—
Lawrence Castle was burning, black smoke was wafting out from the interior of the castle, and many servants were fleeing below, holding all kinds of things.
Chapter 67: If family is not important, then what is important?
When Eula met Wes, this guy who used to be so decent and always talked about the duties of a nobleman was now not decent at all.
Although he was still wearing the same formal dress, his hair, which was usually neatly groomed, was now disheveled. His pale face was ashen, and he stared with red eyes at the black smoke that kept floating out of the castle windowsill.
His hands were clenched tightly on his knees, and his nails were probably digging deep into the flesh under the thin layer of clothing.
He didn't even notice when Eula came to his side, or even if he knew, he didn't care.
"You look miserable."
Yula would not have any sympathy for him. After this man made that decision, the non-existent family relationship between them was abandoned by her own hands.
It was already a good thing that he didn't pick up a wooden stick and hit him hard on the back of the head.
"What's going on here?"
Hearing her voice, Weiss did not look up, but his gloomy eyes became even darker, but he finally spoke.
"As you can see, there was a big fire."
"Why do the servants in the family behave like this?"
"There's a traitor in the family. It's that damned rat-eyed bastard..."
Weiss took a deep breath, then continued in a resentful voice.
"He took advantage of the fact that the fat winter pig had just left and took his trusted team with him, and told a group of treasure robbers that Lawrence had made a fortune.
Then, in the middle of the night when we were all asleep, this group of people sneaked in from the inside and took away everything they could... Ha, can you imagine?"
Yula did not feel the slightest sympathy for his pitiful behavior, and only asked her where she was going.
"Was the contract taken away as well?"
After hearing this, Weiss finally looked up at Eula and said with a wry smile, "Why else would I sit here? I'm just like those untouchables who sit down to rest and enjoy the fresh air after working."
However, when he noticed the ice mark on her collar, the miserable smile turned into a proud expression.
"...Very good, Eula. You have completed the trial, and the family will be able to continue its legacy."
"Do you think Lawrence is important to me?"
Eula just gave him a cold stare in response.
"of course."
Weiss replied in an unquestionable tone.
"This is a mission engraved on every Lawrence member. Just like I gave birth to you, and you will give birth to your own offspring one day, the Seal of Solid Ice will eventually be passed down. All of this is natural and predestined."
"But there will definitely not be a revival of Lawrence."
Eula had no intention of trying to persuade this man who was deeply obsessed with his thoughts. He was already terminally ill.
To put it in Yuya's favorite way of speaking - he had died a long time ago, but no one realized it.
"So what are you going to do? You have the noblest blood in all of Mondstadt, and at such a young age you have completed a trial that few people in your family have passed in the past thousand years..."
Weiss' pupils widened a little, like an evil ghost that was reluctant to leave.
"Are you going to waste this talent that so many of your people have been seeking but cannot obtain, and instead willingly live a mediocre life until you grow old? You must have had enough fun, right?"
"Play? Do you still think my resistance is just a joke?"
There was a hint of pity in Eula's cold eyes.
"The relationship between Youya and I is completely different from yours. For us, what connects us is not some hypocritical family mission or an undetermined blood relationship.
It is our shared destiny. From the day I jumped out of the window, from the day I met Youya, my future with her will never be written by you. "
"...No matter how much you try to argue, you can't change the fact that you are my daughter."
