People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 251 Mission accomplished!

Inside the ruins,

Ying felt that in a situation involving high-ranking figures from both countries, he and Paimon could not intervene at all.
She had no intention of getting involved in this troublesome matter, and she did not pay attention to the friendly exchange between Ye Lan and Tartaglia behind her.

now,

After she and Paimon used the rock elemental creations they created to activate several stone disc-like mechanisms,

Looking at the barrier in front of him that flashed a few times and finally disappeared,

Some could not wait to put their hands on the golden scale that looked about the same size as Paimon.
"——Request to verify the mission item."

When I thought about accepting the mission, the Void System mentioned that the mission items could be checked remotely.

In order to complete this mission, he even had a fight with the Fatui executive.

Worried that her happiness was in vain, Ying immediately turned on this function:

"checking"

"."

"How's it going? Is this what we're looking for?"

Paimon, who was standing by, saw Ying put her hand on the scales and asked nervously.

"I hope so.
No matter what the result is, I just want to go back to Liyue Harbor and have a good rest."

The blonde girl sighed slightly.

Thinking back to when I met Paimon,

It's hard to do anything smoothly no matter what you want to do, and you feel a little tired.

I hope this is just temporary. Theoretically, things like event constitution should not exist.

I'm not some unlucky guy in a fairy tale.
"Ding, the test is completed——"

"."

It didn't take long to finish the preset detection program in the system.
Ying and Paimon, who were in the same team, also became nervous.

"——If you meet the publisher's requirements, you can submit it as a quest item at the reception window of the Church Order Institute and receive the reward."

“Wow, that’s great!”

After hearing the Void System's judgment that it had passed, the only thing left for this special mission was to submit the mission items.

Next to Ying who was completely relaxed,
Paimon also let out a long sigh and cheered while dancing.

After a while,

Ying and Paimon, who had calmed down a little, saw that Ye Lan and Tartaglia seemed to be still communicating in the distance.
Because of the previous battle,

The blonde girl didn't have time to analyze where this place was from beginning to end.

He also called out to the white-haired ball who was trying to lift the scale, but couldn't move it at all.

Feeling the special power covering the scales, she shook her head and said:
".Stop for a moment, Paimon."

"There is a force protecting these scales. It is impossible to lift them like this."

"——After all, if I'm not mistaken, this is probably the scale of the "Rock Dragon King" mentioned in the mission.
I don’t know why it’s only this size, but the weight of this thing should be far beyond our imagination.”

Recalling the mission description and some of the legends that Yun Jin had introduced,
Ying believes that this "Dragon King" should be a being no weaker than a god.

Moreover, it is mentioned in many places that the other party's body is extremely huge, even comparable to a mountain.

Therefore, Ying, who also tried to move the scales after Paimon but failed,
It is considered unlikely to move the scale in front of us with pure force, and other methods are likely to be needed.

"All right."

Paimon sighed weakly as he couldn't pick up the quest item even though it was right in front of him.

I accepted with some disappointment the fact that I couldn't lift this thing.

"."

“.Speaking of which, this should be a place where some kind of sacrificial supplies are stored, right?
Then why don't we look for clues in the surrounding area?
——Maybe there is a way to solve the problem?"

Wasn't lost for too long.
When he saw that there seemed to be other spoils on other platforms around him, Paimon quickly regained his spirits.
With shining eyes, he proposed to the blonde girl in front of him.

".You actually want to see if there are any other treasures."

Looking at the eyes of the white-haired boy in front of her, which seemed to show the Mora symbol, Ying felt powerless to complain.

"Hey, that's not entirely true."

Paimon chuckled and touched his head a little embarrassedly.

In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the treasure and flew first to the surrounding slightly lower stone platforms.

".Is this a stone slab used for sacrifice?"

"What is this that is not treasure?"

The white-haired ball flew over with great interest, but felt a little disappointed after seeing the items in front of it.

"Well, it's not treasure."

Ying nodded.

"——But there may be some history and clues about the past recorded here. If we want to take the scale away,

These tablets are our only source of information.”

I found that there were not many signs of life around.

Outside the altar protected by the mechanism, there are also many items that have decayed to the point where their original appearance cannot be seen.
Ying thought that perhaps an accident had happened here, causing the residents to migrate in a hurry and without time to take everything here with them.

".But why didn't they come back here later and retrieve what they left behind?"

I have heard from Yunjin's family about the prosperity of Guiliyuan in the past.

Ying was very puzzled as to why this place suddenly declined.

".Forget it, let's try to see if the Void System can translate these words."

Without hesitation for long,

Thinking that the void seems to have the function of roughly translating ancient texts,
She and Paimon beside her also collected several stone slabs scattered around.

The distance between the slabs is not far.

When Ying and Paimon gathered all these exquisitely shaped sacrificial items together,

As they had hoped, they made new discoveries:
".Is this a painting on the back that can be pieced together?"

After trying to use the void to translate the previous sacrificial text, but only getting a bunch of incomprehensible words of praise,
Ying and Paimeng turned over the slate and looked at the painting in front of them with great surprise. The painting contained a lot of information.

——On the nine stone slabs that merged together,

A celebratory scene that seems to have traveled from thousands of years ago is vividly recorded on this simple carrier.

——First, what comes into view is a vast field full of grains and flowers.
In the center of the picture, in the scene where you can vaguely see the ruins above Guiliyuan,
There were several "gods" with lines around their bodies simulating light, talking and drinking among the singing people.

At the core is a majestic man wearing a hood, with an obscure face and a dragon-shaped shadow behind him.
Around him are the soaring deer, the soaring crane, the four-legged unicorn and the prone xiezhi.
A little further down,
Several of the figures standing slightly lower, but still showing respectable status, are most likely "gods", and are also well portrayed.

Different from the high and mighty image in the primitive sacrifices in Ying's impression, the gods here seemed to be very approachable. A young man on the right, with several lizard-like creatures lying under his feet.
Holding a wine glass in his hand, he seems to be toasting to the gods above.

On the left side, a strange creature similar to a sackcloth tiger stands up, holding a lot of food in his hands.

Delicious food is also being distributed to the surrounding people.

below,

Two women whose faces could not be seen clearly sat opposite each other.

One of them was happily eating the fruit plate in front of him, with a delicately shaped bell floating beside him.
The other one sat cross-legged on the ground, stroking the exquisite guqin on the stone platform with both hands.

Further down,
There were also several people wearing masks at an angle, standing silently at the edge of the venue, seemingly guarding the people.
The leader had four arms and laughed so hard that he knocked two teenagers beside him off balance.

At the bottom,

It is the common people who laugh and enjoy the harvest and festivals.
Even though I am not an immortal or a god,

But besides the respect from the bottom of their hearts, there is no fear of God at all, only infinite hope and laughter.
Facing the prosperity and bustle coming from this cold stone slab,

Ying and Paimon, who were walking through the ruins above, both had an indescribable feeling.

——It seems to be a strong conflict between beautiful vision and cold reality.
It is a kind of regret and loneliness that can be felt even just from the picture.

"."

"Excuse me, have you two packed up your spoils? Would you like to return to Liyue Harbor with me?"

"——There are quite a few projection monsters in the outside world now. If you want to avoid fighting, I can take you two with my colleagues in the Qianyan Army."

Before they could immerse themselves in the overwhelming emotions,
Ye Lan, who was standing by, seemed to have finally dealt with her "prey".
Using silk threads, he bound Tartaglia, who was temporarily unable to move freely, behind him.
I invited Ying and Paimon here.

"."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

There was a slight silence.
Ying, who was very tired after the battle, nodded, indicating that she accepted the other party's proposal.

"Wait, - what about our loot?!"

When I heard I was leaving,

Paimon, who had been unable to take the scale off the altar before, suddenly became a little anxious.

But at this time, Ying on the side shook her head slightly and said to the anxious Paimeng:
".Don't worry, I think I already know how to remove this scale."

???

Before the white-haired boy next to him could ask questions,
When I first touched the stone slab, I seemed to see some images from thousands of years ago.

He picked up the stone slabs that had been completely glued together and difficult to separate, and walked silently towards the altar in the middle.

next moment,
As she brought the slate closer to the scale,
Amid the surprised looks of Ye Lan and Paimeng,
The scales that were originally firmly fixed on the stone platform seemed to be attracted and slowly floated up into the air.

Finally, it was shrunk and fit perfectly into the picture, in a groove beside the young man holding the glass.

"."

"Let's go, there shouldn't be anything else here."

I quietly completed the collection of the mission items.

Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Paimon beside him, under the watchful eyes of a young orange-haired man who could not speak for the time being,

Together with Ye Lan, he left the now deserted ruins.

The north gate of Liyue Harbor, behind the Liyue Bridge.

After reaching the destination after a bumpy journey,

Looking at Ye Lan who clearly knew what he and Paimon had gained from the ruins, but still pretended not to see it,
Ying picked up the carefully wrapped stone slab beside her, jumped off the carriage, and said:
"——Thank you for your help, Miss Ye Lan. Paimon and I still need to submit our mission, so we will part ways here for now."

"."

"Haha, goodbye then."

"——I will help you apply for your reward as soon as possible, and someone will send it to your address."

"——Don't worry, I will do my best to reduce the subsequent impact on you and the little guy next to you.
This is my promise to the heroes on behalf of the General Affairs Department."

Thinking of Tartaglia, who was still lying in the carriage and whom he had not completely healed,
After saying this, Ye Lan smiled and waved to Ying and Paimon in front of him, then headed towards her pre-booked destination.

"."

".What's wrong? Are you still thinking about that carving?"

Seeing that the Qianyan Army's convoy was slowly moving away,

Paimon noticed Ying still standing there with a thoughtful look on her face, and asked with some confusion.

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

"——I was thinking, since there were so many gods in Liyue before,

Then why is it that the only one who is often mentioned now is the current God of Rock?"

"."

Having vaguely guessed the answer, Paimon did not answer.

"."

".It seems that even gods cannot escape the fate of separation."

Since being separated from his brother five hundred years ago,
After waking up, Ying never gave up looking for the other person.

And at this moment,
The stone carvings show that the once bustling Guiliyuan is now only a desolate ruin.

She became more suspicious about the identity of the strange god who had blocked her and her brother's way.

——Since the Rock God, one of the Seven Lords of the Earth, could not stop his friend from leaving,

Then,

What exactly is the identity of the god who came before him and his brother in an almost judgmental manner?

If my brother is still in the other party's hands, how can I fight against her?
The more I think about it, the more clueless I become.
Ying finally decided to put aside this confusion about the future.
He shook his head, held the quest item in his hand, looked at Paimon beside him and said:
"——Let's go, it's time for us to go to the Xumi Office next to the General Affairs Department to submit our mission.

I hope this reward will allow me to understand God a little better."

I remembered that the mission mentioned that I would provide a reward of the same level as the items I handed in.
It has been confirmed that the King of Rock Dragons is likely to have divine status.
For a moment, he was curious about what kind of compensation he and Paimon could get.

——Also, this time, Paimon and I were able to defeat the Fatui's executive officer.

All thanks to the gifts that scholar Lin Feng gave me earlier.
After submitting the task, take Paimon and the gift and go meet the mysterious researcher whose identity is a mystery.

I feel that this Xumi scholar who has helped me many times may have some connection with the gods.
At this point, I don't know how to repay this kindness.

Although I feel a little embarrassed to bother him again,
But in the end, the decision was made that had the greatest chance of obtaining relevant intelligence.
