The traveler receives a call from a trickster.
HIYAAAAAAAHHHHH!
HA!
Man, these Hillichurls are no joke…
Paimon, is there any way you could get their attention? I don't have any way to burn through their shields, so I need a way to get behind them somehow!
ACK!
I don't know how I didn't see that one coming…
Paimon, get behind my Geo barrel thing! This should buy us some time…
TO DUST!
Haaaa… hhh….
Okay, Blue, you can do this.
HIIIIIYYYAAAA-oh, hold on.
Who in the world would be calling me at a time like this?!
Sorry, Hillichurls, I need to take this. Could ya… uh… wait a moment, please?
Really? Thanks! I'll be quick; I promise!
Yes, hello?
KAEYA?!
Why in the name of salmon are you calling me?! I'm in Liyue!
You want me to do you a favor? Now?!
Heh, I'm in the middle of a battle at the moment.
Literally; these hillichurls are waiting patiently for me to get off the phone.
Yes, they have those Geo shields.
And there's a bunch of archers too.
And an anemo slime.
Oh, no, I am not falling for that again. You still owe me a sword, mister!
You don't remember that? Why am I not surprised?
So, you're telling me that there's a big ol machine lumbering around Mondstadt and it's even more fearsome and deadly than a Ruin Guard? Are you sure it isn't a Ruin Hunter?
Hmm… well, if not, then I guess I dunno what it is.
I mean, I'm all for coming over and dealing with it for you… but… well, I've gotten to the point where I just wanna ask "what's in it for me?"
Ten thousand primogems? No?
Tsk, aw, man! Well, I guess it was worth a shot.
But reputation is fine… and Paimon is nodding her head really quickly at the mention of Mora.
Tell ya what, I'll deal with it as soon as I'm done with this crowd right here.
Just lemme know where the machine was last spotted and I'll do my best to track it.
And you're sure it exists, right?
Mkay. Pardon my scepticism... I hope you understand.
You know if you were to come over here and help me out with these Hillichurls, it would go faster, and I'd be able to get to that… machine thing sooner.
I'm near the Dihua Marsh… there should be a teleport waypoint you can fast-travel to. And you'll need to join a co-op world and select the person whose profile icon looks like Aether and is named "Pterodactyl."
Haha! Just kidding!
Uh… you know what, I'll tell you what all that means later.
Did you find the waypoint? I think I can see someone over there…
If you can see the shield mitachurl waving in your direction, then you're in the right spot.
If that's not you, well, then…
Oh it is? Oh, good!
. . .
So…
We just gonna continue chatting over the phone, or are you going to come over here and help?
My phone has limited battery, you know!
Thank you.
Aight, talk to you in a bit.
Yes, goodbye, Kaeya. And hello.
. . .
Aight, Hillichurls, I'm done. Now, where were we…
Ah, yes!
HIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
