Dori had actually been surveying Inazuma for quite a few days. With the Regent's wedding and all the festivities being held, Inazuma was arguably the liveliest nation in Teyvat at the moment, naturally attracting the merchant's attention.
A merchant of Dori's caliber had long since moved beyond the childish stage of focusing solely on business opportunities within Sumeru. Like Ningguang, she had begun looking for opportunities throughout Teyvat.
Her original plan to arrange a tour of Teyvat for Nilou was proof enough of that. Unfortunately, Yucheng's interference had ultimately brought that plan to nothing.
Dori had personally come to Inazuma to conduct an on-site survey for two reasons. First, Sumeru and Inazuma had formally allied, so she naturally could not pass up this emerging market. Second, she wanted to see just where she had lost back then, allowing Yucheng to spirit away her money tree.
What she discovered on her survey gave her quite a shock. Under the Regent's governance, this nation she had always overlooked had burst with unparalleled vitality. Dori's keen business instincts made her realize that Inazuma's market held great promise, and she felt there were opportunities to make a fortune.
Thus, she came up with the idea of meeting Yucheng to discuss cooperation. However, Dori was merely a wealthy merchant from Sumeru. In Inazuma, she had neither connections nor a way to get her foot in the door. The Mora in her hands alone did not carry enough weight to let her discuss cooperation with a nation's Regent.
The Regent's wedding seemed like a good opportunity, but with so many guests attending the banquet and herself being so inconspicuous, how could she get Yucheng to notice her?
Dori decided to take a risk and attract Yucheng's attention through an unconventional approach. Alhaitham happened to mention Alcazarzaray
