"Barely broke a sweat." Lumine replied while Cale just shrugged, both travelers unscathed and completely fine.

"Now that you mention it, how is it the hilichurls ended up here? These creature don't seem like the type to set up camp so close to cities like this." Paimon wondered.

Amber nodded in agreement, "Exactly. It's more normal for them to be much further out in the wilderness. But because the dragon - Stormterror - has been around a lot more recently, our orchards have been destroyed and the local market has been affected as well. When the storms hit, we usually end up with at least a few injuries, so the Knights of Favonius have been tied up doing the best they can to defend the area."]

"Stormterror? Is that their name?" Glenn asks.

Cale shook his head, "It's just a title."

The elves were being the usual unreasonable devotees they are. They were very annoyed by the human girl's lack of respect to the dragon-nim and believed that the people of Mondstadt must have done something to incur the dragon-nim's wrath.

["So these annoying creatures have been getting closer and closer to the city?" Paimon asks.

"Exactly. That said, clearing this camp helped make the area a little bit safer." Amber said, she then turned to the two travelers, "Come with me! A responsible knight must make sure to see you to the city safely."]

Many knights of the audience nodded their heads in approval. They were pleased with Amber for her sense of responsibility.

[The scene then cuts to the travelers and Amber arriving at Mondstadt. There was a minor hiccup of a young boy named Timmie getting mad at them for scaring the pigeons away, to which Amber apologized profusely.

Once they enter the stone wall, they are greeted by the sight of a city featuring cobblestone streets with houses seemingly created from timberframing along with large spinning windmills. The viewing also cuts to a massive Anemo Archon Statue in the middle of a plaza before it transitions into a bird's eye view of the city.]

Many looked in awe at the sight of the city, looking just as majestic as the Roan Kingdom's capital, Huiss. They also noted the similarities of Mondstadt's architecture to their own world.

Those of Leeb-An City also observed in curiosity. Considering the presence of knights, they supposed that it's to be expected that the place is a lot more well-kept compared to their lawless city.

Though, a few intelligent members of the audience, noticed something strange when they saw the close-up view of the Anemo Archon Statue. It looked somewhat familiar, although they weren't sure why.

[Amber began brightly, "Let me officially introduce the city of wind, dandelions, and freedom - Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Favonius - Welcome to Mondstadt!"

"Finally, no more having to camp outdoors!" Paimon said excitedly but frowned a bit as she examined the streets, "But... the city folk don't look too cheery."]

"Well, gee... I'm sure it's not because there's a freaking dragon causing storms in the city!" Someone from the audience sarcastically said.

["Everyone's been put out of place by Stormterror recently." Amber explained, "But everything will turn out fine as long as Jean's with us!"

Paimon tilted her head, "Jean?"

"Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius - Jean, Defender of Mondstadt. With Jean on our side, surely even the vicious Stormterror will be no match for us."]
