Chapter 333 Youla (page 12)
"Mika, Mondstadt, ahead, I'm going back." After sending Mika to the stone bridge, Lei Ze turned around and left.
"Eh? Lei Ze, look! Over there by the lake, I seem to see the figure of your master, Miss Lisa." Mika tried to keep him.
"Well, Master?" Lei Ze followed Mika's gaze and saw Lisa on the other side of the lake.
The other party was standing in the lively crowd chatting happily. There were many familiar figures in the crowd - the shiny Barbara, the red and black Diluc, the talkative but unlucky Bennett, and the very hot and very hot Hot friend Keli...
"Forget it, there are a lot of people I don't know over there... I won't go there." Lei Ze shook his head.
"Well, you're right." Mika responded, because he was also a very shy person, but he still decided to go there, after all, he had a letter written by Grand Commander Falga to the Knights.
Just as Lei Ze was leaving, a loud voice suddenly sounded.
"Little Wolf? It's really you! Come on, come over here, come to the party with Master and I...don't run away!"
Lei Ze, who was running away, heard the last order and had no choice but to look back pitifully and walk with Mika to the other side of the lake.
"Well, isn't it Mika who is next to Lei Ze?"
"Mika? Didn't he go on an expedition with the captain?" Hearing Lisa's voice, Qin quickly stood up and looked, and it turned out to be Mika!
Dadaupa Valley, a mountain valley located in the corner of Mondstadt, is occupied by a large number of Qiuqiu people.
Chuqiu men and Qiuqiu shaman, thugs that are less common elsewhere, are everywhere here and it is a notoriously dangerous area.
The guerrilla captain of the Knights of the West Wind led his men to finally complete the task assigned by the Knights - to clean up monsters before the holiday to prevent monsters from affecting the Mondstadt people's holidays.
"Captain Yula! I finally found you."
"Svan? Aren't you guarding the city gate? Why are you here?" The tall girl wearing a neat and elegant knight's outfit asked doubtfully.
"Yes, that's right. I was originally on duty, but Captain Qin said that today is the Fenghua Festival, so she graciously allowed us to rest until the holiday was over. Then, she asked me to find you and asked you to come back for a dinner. Several distinguished guests have arrived.”
"But if everyone takes a rest, what if there is a monster infestation during the holiday..." The tall girl was Yula, she asked worriedly.
"Don't worry!" Swann said firmly.
"Don't worry?" Youla frowned. It was obvious that the festival was a time when monsters liked to make trouble.
"That's right! Because Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, previously sent down an oracle, telling everyone not to worry about safety during the Wind Flower Festival holiday. There is no safer place than Mondstadt at this time."
"Ah?!" Yola was stunned, "You, you mean, Lord Barbatos has sent down an oracle?!"
Not only Yura, but also the guerrillas she led, all opened their mouths in shock.
"Oh my god! How many years have it been! Lord Barbatos really sent down the oracle? He has always been there!"
"Okay! I understand. I'll go back now. You guys can disperse where you are and move around freely." Yora left these words behind, politely thanked Swann, and then hurried to Mondstadt.
Yora Laurence is a descendant of the old noble Laurence family, and she has the same blood flowing in her body as those sinners who shackled Mondstadt in darkness in the past.
Because of her birth, Yora had a very bad reputation among Mondstadt folk. The Lawrence family symbolizes the ignorance and tyranny of Old Mondstadt, which is equivalent to the eternal pain in people's hearts.
Every time Yura shows up, it's like opening an old wound again. People hate the old aristocracy, so naturally they won't give her a good look.
However, Yura resolutely joined the Knights and was promoted to the position of captain.
Faced with all the suspicions in the city, she made no bones about it, saying that all her actions were "revenge."
People were afraid of such a frank confession and once thought she was the "demon" of the Knights.
Even though they have long been in decline, the Laurence family still hopes to return to the ruling class.
In order to prepare for this great moment at any time, their education and training of their children were so strict that they could be called pathological.
The so-called "obligation of the noble" is to be impeccable in all aspects.
Not only manners, etiquette and academics, but also cooking and housework.
The Lawrences concluded that “the post-emancipation Mondstadt lacked manners and taste.
In the future, the family will regain power, but it may not be able to find qualified servants.
We must be careful not to fall into the quagmire of the common people. "
The Lawrence family's cooking teacher is quite harsh. Just half a spoonful of wheat flour is missing in preparing the dough, a few grains of salt are missing in the seasoning, and the timing of baking is just two seconds... all of which may lead to reprimands and punishments.
In addition to traditional etiquette, art was the "second soul" that the old aristocracy valued most.
The ritual dance - a ritual used by famous families to show their nobility, is known as the crystallization of this soul and the most dazzling gem on the top of the scepter.
Long before the old nobles brought their bloody rule to Mondstadt, several of the most prosperous families had jointly created ritual dances.
The third act solo dance representing the Laurence family is called "Flickering Candlelight" and is the highlight of the ritual dance.
Dancers have a high status and are usually performed by the eldest daughter of the family.
The ancient ritual has lasted for too long, and even today, after being expelled by the people for many years, the Lawrence family still maintains this tradition.
Without the matching grand dinner and luxurious stage, the "ceremonial dance" is no longer as noble as it once was.
The requirements for dance postures are also relaxed due to the lack of guidance from dancers.
The Laurence family eventually became complacent and treated it as a hobby rather than a required course.
As time passed, the negative connotation attached to this dance gradually faded away, and in the end, only the beautiful dance postures were left.
Compared with those suffocating courses, it was the only relaxing pastime in the childhood of Laura, the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family.
Yula is in charge of the "Seal of Solid Ice", Lawrence's family crest.
It is the supreme symbol of the family's force, and 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.
For thousands of years, only a few people have successfully passed the family trials.
This family emblem will be handed over to them to be passed down together with the family's hopes.
Yula was still young when she accepted the trial, but she passed the trial easily and was awarded the "Seal of Solid Ice".
With this honor, she left the family and had little contact with her.
Her ice sword is the embodiment of such strength - as cold as a cold storm and snow, enough to force anyone back.
Transparent and dazzling, she should be like ice, but she is known as the "Spray Knight".
When people hear this name, they always think that she can drive the power of water element.
To regain the family's glory, win the awe of mortals, and return to the top of rule... In Yula's heart, none of these matter.
She has never experienced the so-called humiliation, but has been tortured by her family.
Trying to break free from the heavy shackles, it is difficult to gain recognition from the world.
Her hatred and revenge are just a habit, a signal, and a shield.
