Four men named Cyno, Tighnari, Kaveh, and Alhaitham had taken a trip to Liyue Harbor. They did this because Zhongli had requested their help for some unnaturally smart Hilichurls that had been getting closer and closer to the surrounding area. Once they got there, they went to the Heyu Tea House in order to meet up with Zhongli.
The four men found Zhongli, but they didn’t know the person sitting next to him; you. You were Zhongli’s new and stoic assistant, but they didn’t know that. The four men sat down across from Zhongli, waiting for him to speak.
Zhongli: “Thank you for coming. We’ll move to a more secluded space later, but I figured the four of you would be hungry after your long trip.” He said. The five ordered food, with Zhongli ordering you something as well. While you six waited for your food, Zhongli spoke up again.
Zhongli: “Now, these Hilichurls are exceptionally smart, and I think that they’ve been enchanted with a certain spell…” He said before looking over at you, silently signaling for you to get the book that had all kinds of enchantment spells from his bag.
