In the simple work shed, the stove has been extinguished, and the cold and damp air makes people feel uncomfortable.

The humidity and coldness of Liyue's winter made Youla, who was used to spring-like conditions all year round, feel a little uncomfortable. Although she often goes to Longji Snow Mountain to take cold baths, she can only say that she understands the difference between magic attacks and physical attacks.

She slowly exhaled a breath of white air to warm her hands. She folded her clothes and put them in her backpack, then looked at the golden medal on the table.

This is a first-class Thousand Rock Medal, used to reward those who have made outstanding contributions to protecting Liyue. The only medals above this level are the Liyue Hero Medal and the Special Thousand Rock Medal.

Yola was awarded this medal because of her outstanding performance in sealing the breach during the autumn floods. There were more than ten people who received medals with her, including people from Liyue and people from Xumi.

Of course, the Xumi people who received the medal directly obtained Liyue nationality and are now also Liyue people.

Looking at this medal, Yura remembered the scene again. Countless people who were so dirty that their clothes could not be seen clearly used their bodies to block the breach, finally blocking the flood.

Subsequently, the demolition team lived up to expectations and completed the demolition and flood discharge ahead of schedule, successfully allowing Guili New City to survive the autumn flood. Keli, the absolute core of the demolition team, also received a second-level Thousand Rock Medal.

After stroking this inexpensive medal, Yura put it back into the box with great care and put it into the inner pocket of her backpack.

Taking one last look at the work shed where she had lived for more than half a year, she put on her backpack and walked out of the work shed.

The construction site was silent. During the Hai Lantern Festival, most of the workers returned to Liyue Port to celebrate the festival.

As the work after the autumn floods progressed smoothly, the tasks originally planned to be completed in January were completed ahead of schedule before the New Year. For this reason, Keqing was very happy to give everyone a seven-day holiday to celebrate the Hai Lantern Festival together.

However, Yora decided to leave during the Lantern Festival and return to Mondstadt.

Before the Sea Lantern Festival, she received a letter from Qin and learned that the Knights of the West Wind had prepared preliminary supplies and personnel, and that the construction of the Wind Dragon Ruins would begin after the year. As the overall person in charge of this work, she must return as soon as possible.

After looking back at the dormitory area for the last time, Yura turned and walked towards the door.

As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw two familiar figures.

Yan Fei, the girl with deer horns, smiled and waved her hands, while Ke Qing, who wore her hair in a bun with cat ears, had a helpless look on her face.

"Yan Fei? Master Keqing? You..."

"I just guessed that you wanted to sneak away... The great hero of Liyue is going back to China but he didn't tell everyone. If word spread, wouldn't it show that we Liyue people don't know how to treat guests?" Ke Qing said with a frown.

Yan Fei stepped forward and hugged Youla's arm, "Don't leave! You must come back to Liyue Port with us! We still have gifts to give you!"

In such a situation, Youla naturally couldn't leave and could only follow the two of them by boat to Liyue Port.

The seaport of Guili New City has been put into use. From here, it is smooth sailing to Liyue Port, bypassing the peninsula in the north of Liyue Port. It only takes a few hours, which is much faster than taking the land route over Tianheng Mountain.

Although Guili New City has not yet been completed, Guili Seaport and Canal have begun small-scale trial operation, and the results are quite good.

When we entered Liyue Port, it was completely dark.

Today is the second day of the Hai Lantern Festival and the first day of the Lunar New Year. Liyue Harbor is absolutely overcrowded.

Youla was dragged ashore by the two of them and went straight to Yujing Terrace.

As soon as she stepped onto the Yujing Terrace, she was stunned. Tens of thousands of people gathered here, wondering what they were watching.

After all, the images of the three Youla were so distinctive that the onlookers quickly recognized them.

"It's Yuhengxing! And Miss Yanfei!"

"Is that Mondstadt girl Yora from the Knights of the West Wind?"

"He's so tall! No wonder he was the first to rush up and stop the flood!"

The crowd parted on their own initiative, making way for the three of them.

As Yura moved forward, the whispers in the crowd gradually turned into cheers.

"Another hero is here!"

"It's Miss Yura!"

"Yura! Well done!"

Yula was dragged to the center of the crowd by the two people with a confused look on her face, but she saw a huge pile of firewood.

A girl from the Xumi Desert who had served with the Foreign Legion rushed up and hugged Yula, "Yura! You are here! Just in time, let's light the fire together!"

"Tanya? This is..."

Youla looked at her with doubtful eyes, and then at Keqing.

Keqing smiled slightly and said: "This year, more than 300,000 Xumi people are celebrating the New Year in Liyue, so the General Affairs Department decided to hold a bonfire party at Yujingtai in accordance with the customs of the desert people."

Tanya then said: "According to the custom of our desert people, the one who lights the bonfire must be the most respected hero in the tribe, so the General Affairs Department summoned 26 people who won the first-class Thousand Rock Medal this year to light the fire together. You are the only one left. !”

Yula suddenly realized that she knew that Tanya had won the first-class Thousand Rock Medal before the end of the year because of her bravery in combat and repeated military exploits.

Soon, Youla was dragged to the firewood pile, where 24 other igniters were already waiting.

Looking around, Yula found that among these people there were honest and simple farmers, strong and cheerful workers, gentle scholars, and soldiers in uniform.

What's more important is that among these 26 people, fully half are from Sumeru, as well as two Daozi people, three Fontaine people, and she, a Mondstadt person!

Yanfei personally handed her the torch. Youla hesitated for a moment and looked at Keqing as if asking for help, "But I am Lawrence..."

Keqing tilted her head inexplicably, "What's wrong with Lawrence? Could it be that Mond's sword can also kill Liyue's official?"

Yan Fei smiled and pushed her forward, "Okay! I know you are a noble! Go get ready!"

Youla was pushed to the front row by Yan Fei and saw Ning Guang and Gan Yu waiting in the crowd.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ningguang said loudly: "Today's party is to celebrate the New Year! We are very honored to invite the most respected heroes in Liyue according to the customs of the people in the Xumi Desert!"

“I believe that no one is more worthy of this title than those who have won the First Class Thousand Rock Medal!”

"They come from various countries and their origins are different, but in Liyue, heroes do not care about their origins!"

"Let's cheer them on!"

The names of the 26 heroes were called out one by one by Ningguang, and each name could attract tens of thousands of people to cheer in unison!

When Tanya's name was called, Yora saw her whole body shaking with excitement, covering her mouth and sobbing.

Yora knew that Tanya was originally an orphan and was raised by the kind people of the Gilded Brigade. She never expected to receive such recognition.

"This girl is easily excited..." Yula muttered softly.

However, when her name was shouted by thousands of people, she couldn't help but burst into tears like Tanya.

Here, she finally got the recognition she had dreamed of!

Here, she is no longer the descendant of sinners, but the hero of all peoples!

Here, no one cares about Lawrence, people only care about Yura!
