  Summary

  It had been a stressful day already, when a mysterious letter arrived for Zhongli in Liyue. With its contents warning him of a world wide threat and his past actions forcing him to watch over Yaoyao for a while, he has no choice but combine his struggles into a big adventure.

  As he is now forced to leave his beloved city behind for a while to find out the truth, he and Yaoyao travel to Nod-Krai to meet a man named Varka in the Flagship, so they can stop whatever is threatening Teyvat this time.

  But one can only hope he won’t break into three pieces or more, as soon as he meets the second of the harbingers there.
