Explorer of Teyvat

Mondstadt, in front of the Order building,

After returning from patrol, Yura felt peeping in the dark.

With a cold look in her eyes, Youla glanced towards the darkness with lightning-like eyes.

The next moment, the coldness in his eyes became more intense,

She saw a familiar figure, and the figure she least wanted to see.

With her eyes flashing slightly, Youla turned to look at Amber beside her: "Amber, I suddenly remembered that something happened. Please help me and Qin report on the work. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, without waiting for Amber to reply, he hurried towards the city.

Amber looked at Youla's back helplessly, and finally could only shake her head, turned around and entered the Knights building alone.

the other side,

Yura came to a deserted place in the corner of the city,

There was a chill in his eyes,

Looking towards the darkness on the side,

"That's enough, come out, why are you spying on me."

There was extreme depression in Yula's voice,

Yura could hardly restrain her inner anger towards these tribesmen who always caused trouble for her.

A middle-aged man came out of the dark corner,

There was an even more angry look in his eyes than Yula's,

"Yora Lawrence, you are the controller of [Seal of Ice], you should stand with the family." The middle-aged man's voice was extremely suppressed, and the anger in his mouth almost burst out.

The coldness in Youla's eyes faded, and a hint of disdain appeared: "Don't you know what [Seal of Solid Ice] represents? Is Lawrence still qualified to be worthy of it?"

[Seal of Solid Ice] is the emblem of the Lawrence family.

Yes, in a sense, Ura is the head of the Lawrence family. She controls the supreme symbol that represents the Lawrence family's force.

And Yola left the Lawrence family with the [Seal of Solid Ice], in a sense, because she believed that the Lawrence family was no longer worthy of the [Seal of Solid Ice].

This family emblem represents the supreme strength of the Lawrence family, and also represents the uncorrupted will of the Lawrence family in the early days of Mondstadt's reclamation: cold and noble, not afraid of anger, tough and calm, and unshakable.

"It was Mondstadt that betrayed Lawrence. We opened up Mondstadt, and we are the masters here." Listening to Yula's sarcastic voice, the middle-aged man was a little bit off guard, and he shouted to Yula in a low voice.

However, this kind of behavior only made Yula look down on him even more.

"You don't even have the courage to roar." Yula shook her head in disappointment and sadly, "Tell me what you want from me. If you want me to betray the Knights and return to the family, then don't tell me."

Probably the ultimate anger is followed by calmness,

The middle-aged man's bloodshot eyes gradually calmed down, and he looked at the tall girl in front of him.

The best junior in the family finally stood on the opposite side of the family.

He suddenly felt sad.

"The head of the family wants to see you." The middle-aged man said.

Youla frowned slightly, and an old but tall figure appeared in her mind.

After a slight silence, she nodded: "I understand."

The middle-aged man is a little dissatisfied. What does it mean to reply just like this after knowing?

"Then when are you going to see the head of the family?"

Youla gave him a cold look: "Wait until I report to Captain Qin."

"You" the middle-aged man was furious. He thought what Youla meant and was worried that the Lawrence family was driving a wedge between her and the Knights, so he reported the matter to Qin first and then made a decision.

In his opinion, this was an invitation from an elder, and Yora's suspicion was trampling on the honor of the head of the Lawrence family.

However, in response to his anger, Youra just sneered, then turned and left.

She knew what middle-aged people were angry about. There were basically only two reasons for the anger of the Lawrence family. One was that they felt that they were being looked down upon, and the other was that they felt that the family was being looked down upon.

The old aristocratic ideas are nothing more than these two.

In fact, Yula just didn't want to betray Qin's trust.

Qin gave her, a sinner, trust, and she should naturally repay the same trust.

What you gain must be paid for.

This is Yula's understanding of the concept of nobility.

Looking at Youla's leaving figure, the middle-aged man waved his hands bitterly and then left.

There was no way, I couldn't beat him, I couldn't scold him, I had no choice but to leave.

And Yula went all the way back to the Knights Building,

Under the awe and distant gaze of the gatekeeper knight, he walked into the group leader's office.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she realized that there was more than just Qin and Amber as she had imagined.

There were also a group of minstrels and a little girl carrying a strange stringed instrument.

When the bards saw Yula, their reaction was a little bigger.

"It's Lawrence!!!"

They subconsciously took a few steps back, highlighting Xin Yan who was surrounded by them.

The corner of Yola's mouth slightly curled up: "Why, are you so scared when you see the descendants of sinners? This look, hum, this hatred, I will remember it."

Hearing Yula's vindictive words, the bards looked at each other, not knowing whether to refute her harshly or apologize.

On the side, Amber slapped her forehead, and then pulled Yula over: "Okay, okay, why do you want to scare them?"

Then he turned to look at the bards: "Don't worry, Yora is a knight of the Knights, and she will not take revenge on you."

The bards nodded with difficulty, finally revealing this section.

However, Xin Yan next to her was a little curious. This tall and beautiful female knight seemed to scare the bards beside her.

This sense of conflict between beauty and terror made Xin Yan, an artist, shine.

She had a slight interest in Yura.

On the other hand, Qin just shook her head slightly. She knew that Yula would not take revenge on these bards, so she didn't care about what happened just now.

Instead, she asked: "Yura, just now Amber said you had something to do, is it done now?"

Youla nodded, not caring that there were outsiders here: "Someone from the Lawrence family came to me just now and told me that the head of the family wanted to see me."

The bards on the side looked a little ugly. They felt that they heard something they shouldn't hear.

Although Mondstadt is very free, it is obviously not interesting to get involved in the affairs of the Knights and the old nobles.

"Um, Captain Qin, how about we leave first?" The bards wanted to run away.

Qin immediately shook her head: "No, there happens to be a suitable candidate here for what you just talked about."

As she said that, Qin pointed at Yura in front of her: "Yura has received a noble education and studied ancient Mondlish. She can complete the translation you want."

After listening to what Qin said,

The bards looked at her in disbelief. They felt that Captain Qin was probably a little tired, otherwise why would he say such nonsense.

Yora Lawrence is from the Lawrence family.

And what they want to translate is the Legend of Vanessa,

The Lawrence family was overthrown by the people of Mondstadt led by Lady Vanessa.

Isn’t it nonsense to ask the Lawrence family to translate the ancient version of Vanessa’s legend?

Unlike the bards' resistance,

Xin Yan didn't feel anything. She was quite curious about Youla, and she didn't resist Youla's help.

However, before Xin Yan could speak, Youla was unhappy: "Captain Qin, I'm not Noelle, I can't help with everything."

On the other side, a cute head poked in from the office door: "I just heard someone calling me. Do you need help?"

Qin shook her head helplessly: "No, no need, thank you Noelle, just go about your business."

The lovely maid nodded: "Okay, Captain Qin, if you need anything, please call me directly."

Jean nodded and watched the maid knight close the door.

One of the default rules of the Knights, please don't call out Noelle's name casually, she will really come.

After watching the door being closed, Qin began to talk about the minstrels and Xin Yan's request.

They needed a translator who was proficient in the ancient Monde language.

Then, translate the ancient version of "The Legend of Vanessa" and other ancient materials.

Youla frowned slightly: "Why don't you ask Miss Lisa for this kind of thing?"

The bards were a little embarrassed: "Ms. Lisa asked us not to disturb her beauty sleep."

Lisa, the librarian, is a terrifying witch who controls the power of lightning.

As bards who often go to the library to look up information, they would never dare to offend Lisa.

"Tch~" Youla sneered, then nodded casually, "If you are willing to believe me, I can help you translate when I come back from Lawrence Manor."

The bards were somewhat afraid to agree.

However, Xin Yan nodded and stretched out his hand to Youla: "Sorry to trouble you."

"you?"

Youla was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xin Yan's outstretched hand with interest, and spent a full three seconds to confirm whether Xin Yan was sarcastic about her.

After seeing the purity in Xin Yan's eyes, a beautiful smile bloomed on Youla's face, and she held Xin Yan's outstretched hand: "Don't worry, I will try my best to translate."

Then he turned to look at Qin: "Well, Captain Qin, I will go to Lawrence Manor first. As for the translation work, let them go to the library to find the required information first. I don't think I will stay in Lawrence Manor for too long. ."

Yola has a deep understanding of her relationship with the Lawrence family. When she goes back this time, she will probably have a big fight like before.

Youla didn't have any good feelings for the tribesmen who refused to let go of their past glory and even tried to cause trouble.

In Yora's mind, if the Lawrence family continues to be stubborn and even continues to abuse Mondstadt, then the name Lawrence and those people should be wiped out with her own hands.

This is probably the only [family responsibility] that Yora Lawrence wants to fulfill after taking over the family symbol [Seal of Ice].

As for the disappearance of the Lawrence family, Yora herself would probably change her last name casually.

She has suffered too much with the surname Lawrence. If she can leave this surname behind, it seems to be a good choice.

Yora left the Knights Building and went to Lawrence Manor.

Amber also said hello to everyone and left.

Xin Yan and the bards are left here.

Qin smiled: "Yura has agreed to help, so please go find the information first."

There was no other way, so the bards bit the bullet and said, "Okay, Commander Qin, thank you very much."

"No need to say thank you, I am also looking forward to the rock music belonging to Lady Vanessa." Qin still smiled.

As Vanessa's successor, Qin's admiration for Vanessa is absolute.

These people want to write a rock song about Lady Vanessa. As long as they write it well, Qin will support it.

The group left Qin's office and returned to the library.

Xin Yan said curiously: "That girl just now, you seem to be afraid of her?"

"It's not fear, it's disgust. Miss Xin Yan, you are not from Mondstadt, so you may not understand it well. Put it this way, the villain in the Vanessa legend we have been translating is her ancestor."

"Yes, she is the descendant of sinners, and she always holds grudges. You heard it just now, right? We were just frightened by her, and she wants to take revenge on us."

"There really isn't a good person in Lawrence. I really don't know why the Knights keep them."

…

Listening to the bards' complaints, Xin Yan's eyes wavered slightly.

Although she didn’t know why, Xin Yan felt that the girl just now was not bad.

When the other party held his hand just now and said that he would help seriously, Xin Yan could feel the sincerity of the other party.

But the bards' narratives about Lawrence's evil deeds gave Xin Yan a sense of conflict.

"Do you know? In Liyue, there is a kind of flower called lotus." Xin Yan suddenly said.

"Ah?" The bards were a little confused and didn't know what Xin Yan meant. However, they did not correct Xin Yan's statement. In fact, the lotus was not just a thing in Liyue.

Seeing the confused expressions of the minstrels, Xin Yan's eyes shone: "Once, I asked a gentleman from Tongwen Academy what he thought of my rebellious spirit."

The bards didn't know who the gentleman from Tongwen Academy was, but they didn't interrupt and still listened carefully to Xin Yan's words.

"At that time, my husband pointed to the lotus in the pool, and he told me that resistance is like the lotus in the water."

"Although you are stuck in the mud, you can only break out of the mud and become independent in the world by constantly improving yourself and resisting your origins."

"Resistance is not a great existence, it is all around us. When I heard you talk about Lawrence's story, and saw Miss Laura Lawrence, I suddenly thought of this story."

"The Lawrence family is like silt, and Miss Yola is like Lian who was born in the silt. She is fighting hard, don't you see?"

After listening to Xin Yan's words, the bards were slightly silent.

Yula has been a member of the Knights for so long and has even reached the level of captain. How could they not see Yula's resistance to the Lawrence family?

However, with the surname Lawrence, it is impossible to gain the trust of the people of Mondstadt with this surname alone.

Xin Yan looked at the silence of the bards, with no dissatisfaction on her face. Although she didn't know how much the Mondstadt people hated Lawrence, she would not persuade them to be generous.

After thinking for a while, Xin Yan said again: "After a while, after Miss Youla comes, I want to have a chat with her alone."

"This" bards hesitated.

Xin Yan waved his hand and interrupted the bards' words of persuasion: "I know that you don't want to believe Miss Youla in your heart. This is because the Lawrence family has hurt you, but I am different. I am from Liyue. I will talk to Miss Yura from an objective perspective."

"Back then, Vanessa rebelled against the despairing old aristocracy, and now Miss Yola rebels against the Lawrence family, which made her despair. Isn't this a kind of history repeating itself?"

"I think no matter what your background is, it should not be a reason to deny those who resist an unfair fate."

"Back then, Lady Vanessa could use her identity as a slave to start a rebellion against the old aristocracy, but now Miss Yora can also use her identity as a descendant of sinners to fight against the family that imprisoned her, right?"

Listening to Xin Yan's words, the bards gradually hesitated. Finally, they looked into Xin Yan's pure eyes and nodded slightly.

"Okay, Miss Xin Yan, you are the creator of rock music, and you should have the right to choose the source of inspiration."

They were still unwilling to forgive Youla, who was named Lawrence, so they found another angle as an excuse and agreed that Xin Yan and Youla could talk alone.

Xin Yan laughed happily: "Then let's quickly find the information. Do the preparations first, which is also the precursor to the birth of great works."

The bards were infected by Xin Yan's vitality and began to look for various information on him.

…

Looking at the door in front of me that is more dilapidated than in memory,

Yola opened the ancient door without any hesitation.

In the sound of friction between the door leaf and the door edge,

The door slowly opened, and Yora saw the old man standing and waiting behind the door.

"I knew you kid wouldn't keep me waiting." Seeing Youra, the old man smiled kindly.

Youla hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Grandpa."

"Come on, little Yora, there is no need to be restrained. The way you rushed out of the door was the momentum that Lawrence's children should have." A trace of nostalgia flashed through the old man's seemingly cloudy eyes.

It's funny to say that over the years, the most high-spirited scene for the children of the Lawrence family was actually when Yura obtained the [Seal of Solid Ice] and rushed out of the Lawrence family.

"Aren't you angry with me?" Youla asked without approaching the old man, still standing where he was.

The old man's calm face froze, and then he shook his head with a wry smile: "How can you not be angry, you know? Xiao Youla, when you took off the [Seal of Ice], I was so happy, so happy, I I even thought that the Lawrence family would be revived in your hands, but "

The old man's voice trembled slightly and turned into a sad whisper: "But you betrayed us. You broke out of the Lawrence family, joined the Knights of the West Wind, and surrendered to our enemies. I feel so painful in my heart."

Yula's expression remained calm. Performance was also part of the nobles' homework. No matter whether they were happy or sad, nobles could switch freely. If nobles like her grandfather really believed in his emotions, then Yula would not have been able to express her emotions in the first place. Out of Lawrence's house.

Looking at Yula’s expression that didn’t change at all,

The old man sighed slightly inwardly,

Why did such an outstanding young man join the Knights?

But those who remain in the family are those who are obsessed with past glory and cannot even control their emotions.
