"Why? It would be safer if I came along, right?"
Don't panic—there are always more solutions than problems. If he found the right way, going to Mondstadt together with little Eula was still doable.
"I want to handle this matter by myself. Besides, Mondstadt City right now is very unwelcoming toward Lawrence.
If possible, I want the old uncle to see me when I'm welcomed and successful in Mondstadt."
In summary: the child has grown up. She wants to venture out on her own. She wants to build her own foundation alone and make her guardian proud of her.
Being a parent for the first time, the old uncle fell silent.
Emotionally, the old uncle was uneasy.
Rationally, the old uncle was still uneasy.
Eula! Back then it was old uncle who picked you up from Dragonspine, when you were on the verge of death from the cold, looking incredibly fragile...
And your heart was full of confusion too. I couldn't bear to leave you in Mondstadt to suffer bullying, so I took you traveling with me...
We've been through so much together, and I've watched you grow step by step.
Sigh...
What parent ever thinks their child isn't still a child?
For a moment, a thousand words surged in the old uncle's heart, but in the end, he only asked one question.
"You've thought this through?"
Eula Lawrence nodded.
"I've thought it through."
The old uncle let out a long sigh.
"Sigh..."
But how could a parent choose to clip the wings of a child who wants to soar?
And seeing the old uncle's helpless sigh, little Eula understood that he had more or less agreed to her request.
This was normal. To the old uncle, he never forced children to do anything. He only provided them with enough space to make their own choices.
"Old uncle, it's fine. I'll handle the Lawrence Clan matters quickly. Once I'm done, I'll come back."
Little Eula made a promise to the old uncle, though to him, the promise was better than nothing but still not very reassuring.
"I'm fine. I just remembered something. Inazuma will soon begin friendly diplomatic cooperation with the Akademiya in Sumeru.
And the Akademiya has a device called the Akasha Terminal that allows remote communication. I'll make sure to get a few extra Akasha Terminals.
When you go to Mondstadt, remember to contact me every day. Also, I have a kid I know in Mondstadt—little Barbara. Remember to say hi to her for me.
And since you now have a Vision, improving your own combat strength is very important next. From now on, I'll give you special training focused on your Vision.
One more thing: while you're in Mondstadt, be careful. If one day you meet a bard dressed in green clothes who, whenever sensitive topics come up, likes to go 'ehe ehe' and muddy the waters—when you meet him, remember to treat him to some free apple cider.
He's like Mr. Zhongli—an elusive sage in hiding. He won't teach you anything, but in the future, things in Mondstadt will go much smoother for you because of him.
Another thing: don't touch alcohol. Drinking causes trouble. It's very dangerous for a young girl to drink these days—there are definitely people with bad intentions.
Another thing: you must carry the Geo Archon's cat-dragon with you at all times. Lord Geo Archon watching over me makes me feel more at ease.
And one more thing..."
Facing a child who would soon leave Inazuma to embark on a long journey, the old uncle—as a parent—couldn't help but start nagging endlessly.
And facing the old uncle's nagging, little Eula didn't feel annoyed at all. She simply took out a small notebook and recorded all of the old uncle's instructions.
She memorized them in her head just in case, and wrote a copy in the notebook too...
These were all the old uncle's concerns for her—not a single word could be left out.
