People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 245: Young Master: Itching to Fight
"Excuse me, are you okay? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I just never saw such a partner around you?

And just now I was thinking about the opera that was going to be performed next.

I was distracted for a moment and accidentally got hit by a branch. Just call me Yunjin."

On the left side of Chihuyan Street, Ying and Paimeng trotted over to help the fallen man up.

After hearing the other party's introduction,

They looked at each other and revealed a strange expression.

——Yunjin?
By the way, didn't I just see the last name 'Yun' in a mission? !

Eat Tiger Rock, Wanmin Hall.

".So, your name is Ying, and the person beside you is your friend Paimon,

You are all foreign travelers. You have just arrived in Liyue, right?"

Although when Ying asked what to eat, Yun Jin asked for a plate of stir-fried shrimps.
But after she raised her head and asked this question,

Looking at the familiar dish on the table that I have eaten for who knows how many years,
He sighed slightly, but still had no desire to pick up his chopsticks.

"Hehe, that's right. Even though we've only known each other for a short time, Ying and I are best friends!"

"——Yunjin, you are wearing this dress, and you specifically said that you can only eat light dishes. Are you going to participate in a performance?"

Because when they first met, Lin Feng had called him "follower".
So when Paimon heard the word "partner" from the "clue character" in front of him,
Scratching his head happily,
With some curiosity, they asked the new friend in front of them who suddenly invited them to have breakfast together.

"Oh, that's right, although it's only scheduled for this afternoon,

But in order to maintain my figure, I can only eat dishes like stir-fried shrimps on weekdays.
So don't worry about me, just enjoy the food."

Yun Jin sighed, looked at the two unfamiliar faces in front of him, and said:
"Thank you for your help this morning.
Although I accidentally fell when I saw you two, I suddenly had some ideas for the new play I had been thinking about.

Just consider it as a reward for the inspiration I got from you. You two are welcome to have this simple meal."

——Although Yunjin actually likes to eat dishes with stronger flavors such as Tianshu meat, boiled black-backed sea bass, and dry-pot bacon,
But after she helped the two kind people in front of her to order food,
For the sake of your own throat,
I just obediently ate the stir-fried shrimps on the plate, which were delicious but I was already completely tired of them.

".Hmm? What's the matter? Do you have anything else you want to ask?"

After I revealed my identity as an opera performer, Ying and Paimon seemed a little surprised.
I think there might be some information that I don’t know.
Yun Jin couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

".It's nothing, we just received a commission.
I need to ask the 'Yun Family' in the Liyue forging family for some information.
——But it seems that Miss Yunjin just happens to have the same last name, so don’t worry about it.”

Paimon thought that it would be impossible for him and Ying to find clues so easily.

Because I had expectations, I wasn't disappointed.
So when faced with Yun Jin who was asking the question, he simply responded.

"Hmm? Forging family? Yun family?

That’s right, it’s our family.”

Paimon had just finished speaking.

Yun Jin hadn't heard anyone call her "Forging Family" for quite some time.

With some curiosity, he revealed his identity.

???

"Ah?! But Miss Yunjin, aren't you an opera performer?"

Paimon was even more surprised this time.
She even thought she might have heard it wrong, so she looked at Yun Jin's outfit again carefully.

But no matter how you think,
They were completely unable to connect the gorgeously dressed girl in front of them with the words "Forging Family".

Even Ying, who was watching Paimeng and Yunjin talking,
He also cast a look at me with some surprise.

"Haha, although the Yun family is a forging family,
But now, by my generation, there are actually not many people in the tribe who do ironwork themselves.

Therefore, the name "Forging Family" has rarely been heard in recent years.
I wonder what the two of you are asking us to do with our Yun family?"

Briefly explain the current situation of the family.

Looking at Ying and Paimeng who were obviously not from the country, Yun Jin asked with some curiosity.

"."

"Let me tell you."

Looking at Paimeng on the side, he seemed to be at a loss as to where to start because of the sudden turn of events.
Ying took over the conversation and said:
".In addition to being travelers, Paimon and I are also co-researchers of Xumi.
Our commission is related to the legend of Liyue's 'Stone Dragon King'.

Because it is said that the Dragon King loves blacksmiths very much.

So we hope to get clues from the forging family and find some items related to it."

"..."

He explained the situation succinctly, and Ying was somewhat curious about what kind of answer Yun Jin would give.

"The Dragon King... could it be the one in 'Creation of the Dragon's Eyes'?"

Yun Jin, who was not a historian herself, was initially unable to react after hearing what Ying and Paimeng said.

Finally, I thought of a very famous fairy drama in Liyue.
Only then did I roughly understand what the two co-researchers in front of me were looking for.

But because of this, she, who had been influenced by her father since she was a child,

He laughed a little, and said to Ying and Paimon who were looking for the legend:
"Then you may be disappointed.
——Because the time is so long, even the relevant history is very rare and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

Not to mention finding the items that the Dragon King once left behind, even the very existence of the Dragon King is now a matter of debate."

"..."

After a brief pause, the two new friends who met him were obviously a little disappointed.
Yun Jin gave a twist:
"——Even though I said that,

But recently, rumors about this Dragon King have become popular.
At such a special time, you two might actually be able to gain something.”

"Hmm? Lately? What's happened recently?"

Paimeng, who had just arrived in Liyue and had not yet taken the time to understand the local situation in detail, asked with some confusion.

"Hmm? Haven't you noticed that the atmosphere in Liyue has been a little tense recently?"

"Whether it's the Qianyan Army that was pulled out for support, or the monster projections that have been popping up in the wild recently,

Everyone is wondering what big event might happen soon. "

"——And one of the sayings,
The legendary rock dragon sealed by the Emperor will resurrect from underground and bring severe disaster to Liyue.

Even the mission you received might be related to this rumor."

I found that these two new friends of mine really seemed to know nothing about Liyue.
Yun Jin also told Ying and Paimeng about the recent rumors circulating among ordinary people. "Resurrection?!"

After hearing this, Paimon shouted in panic:

"A guy who can be called the Dragon King must be a terrifyingly strong guy no matter how you think about it..."

"If we really find its scales, then Ying and I won't be hunted down, right?!"

Recalling the mission description, the Dragon King of Liyue has a body as huge as a mountain and power that rivals that of a god.

Even though he was very envious of the reward for the mission, Paimeng was a little conflicted for a moment.

"..."

I noticed that Ying on the side was not that scared, but seemed to be concerned about this issue.

I feel that these two new friends in front of me are really interesting.
Yun Jin shook his head slightly and explained with some amusement:
"——Don't worry, regardless of whether you can find it, even if you really get the scales of the Rock Dragon King,
This kind of thing is definitely not worthy of a god-level being to attack you."

"——And now Liyue and its neighbor Xumi are in an alliance. If the legendary Dragon King really revives,

Then maybe you will have the chance to see the old Emperor and the 'God of Authority' fighting against each other in the neighboring country."

Although I know that such a battle will definitely bring great losses to Liyue, I don't want it to happen.

But Yun Jin obviously didn't think the current message was true.
So he said half-jokingly to the two travelers in front of him.

"Huh, that's good, that's good."

When I heard that I didn't have to give up this lucrative mission,

Paimon let out a long sigh and patted his chest in relief.

"..."

Looking at a certain white-haired ball floating and dancing in the air,

If I didn't know it was rude,
Yun Jin was so touched by the cuteness that she wanted to reach out and touch this cute little guy.

But in the end,
Thinking that this was only the first time we met and that I had rehearsals to do next,

She said goodbye with some regret:

“——Although this is the first time I’ve met you two, I’m really happy to talk to you.
If possible, I don’t want to leave now.”

——It's rare that someone doesn't care about her status on stage, but treats her as an ordinary friend.

Yun Jin, who has recently gained some fame and is often troubled by various tabloid interviews,
Thinking of their initial questions, I gave my own guess as seriously as possible:

"——As for what you are looking for,
Although because the time is too long, even the Han family and the Kun family who are still forging now probably don't know it,
But I have seen in the family tree where my ancestors lived.
Today, Guiliyuan and Qingce Village may be able to find some clues."

Whether it is the Yun family, the Kun family or the Han family,
Yun Jin discovered that the ancestors of these three families, except for a small number of craftsmen from the Kun family,
It seems that they all lived in a place called "Gui Li Ji".
Although she is not a historian, she has only heard of this place from her father.
But thinking of their goal of discovering antiques,

Yun Jin still gave these two place names where there was a high chance of gaining something.

“Thank you, that really helped a lot!
I knew that Yun Jin is indeed our lucky star!"

Paimon is extremely persistent in completing tasks or "task rewards".
After getting more specific information, he excitedly thanked Yun Jin in front of him.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. The ruins over there have probably been rummaged through by the treasure-stealing group countless times.
If you are free, you can wait for me near Yunhanshe after my performance tonight.
I asked my father.
I will help you define a rough area on the map."

"..."

After a brief pause, he noticed the grateful expressions of Ying and Paimon in front of him.
Yun Jin also smiled and explained:

"——It is said that Xumi's co-researchers are all very powerful adventurers.
When our Yun family's ancestor left Guiliyuan, something unexpected seemed to have happened.
There were many things I didn’t have time to take away…”

After a slight pause, she looked at the two new friends in front of her.
Thinking of the good reputation of the researchers at Xumi,

He continued with some anticipation:
"To be honest, it's been too long since our Yun family moved away from that area.

The area around Guili Garden and Qingce Village is now in great danger due to the chaotic earth veins.
Maybe under the influence of the monsters, many ruins will disappear completely..."

"--If you can really find something that will help us understand our ancestors better,
Then my father will certainly not refuse to help."

My father, who was well-read, had discovered countless legends and history, and wrote many famous operas.
Yun Jin could always sense his regret for the lack of history in the Yun family.

So after seeing that these two new friends of his were actually Xumi's researchers,
She also sincerely hoped that Ying and Paimon could really gain something.

"——Okay, see you tonight.

If you are interested in my performance, you can also come to the Heyu Teahouse in Feiyunpo.
I think today’s show should be pretty good~”

"——Well, don't worry, we will definitely go!"

Paimon and Ying, who have never felt so lucky,
Facing this new friend who was helping him a lot, he responded sincerely.

……

at the same time,

In the North Country Bank on the top floor of Feiyunpo,

In front of several fools wearing black robes and masks,
A mask ornament worn diagonally,
The young man with orange hair and ice-blue eyes was listening carefully to his subordinates' reports.

After the rich guy returned to winter,

I don't know what happened.
Liyue seemed to have been forgotten by the Queen.
Tartaglia, who hadn't received any specific instructions for quite a while, was bored for a while.

Recently, the whole of Liyue is filled with a "battle" atmosphere.

After hearing the rumor that the ancient dragon king was about to awaken,

He was very interested in this kind of strong man, and decided to verify the truth of the rumor in his own way.

——If the news is true, then maybe this time I will have the chance to see the gods in action.

——Even if it means taking the risk to observe the edge of the battlefield,
He also wanted to see the two people that his colleagues had repeatedly warned him about.

Even the Queen said that we should not make enemies with such gods. What kind of power do they have?

"..."

"…Return to the original place?"

"good,

I will go there myself tomorrow and see if this rumor is true or not!"

I vaguely sensed that a hearty battle was about to begin.

Tartaglia, who has made a breakthrough recently and is itching to fight, can no longer suppress his desire to fight.
