People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King
Chapter 297 The Little Yellow-haired Man Looking for the God of Rock and the Servant Ready to Act
Chapter 297: The little yellow-haired man who is looking for the God of Rock and the "servant" who is ready to act
A few days after Lin Feng went to the desert,
At the southernmost side of Liyue Harbor, Tiger Rock.
As a gathering place for ordinary vendors and dock workers in Liyue,
This snack street, which was once very lively, has become a bit crowded as the Lantern Festival approaches.
The streets are filled with lanterns and decorations in various red tones.
The originally vacant stalls were occupied by vendors selling couplets and lantern materials.
Amid the coming and going of people, the sounds of hawking and greetings between old friends can be heard constantly, showing a kind of fireworks and festive atmosphere that is very different from usual.
Although the Lantern Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in Liyue every year, it has been deeply integrated into the lives and habits of all Liyue residents.
But for a traveler who has just set foot on this land, this lively and humane festival is obviously new and unfamiliar.
".I feel like there are a lot of stalls around me that I haven't seen before in the past few days.
So, preparations have to start so many days before the festival?"
Paimon scratched his head and sighed in surprise.
".After all, judging from the various tasks and announcements from the General Affairs Department, this should be a very important festival, probably with some special significance."
Ying nodded and told the information she had observed.
After a brief pause, the girl turned to look at the "gold medal guide" beside her.
Some people began to doubt the business ability of a certain white-haired ball:
"——By the way, if I remember correctly, Paimon once boasted that you knew the intelligence of the Seven Kingdoms.
No matter how you think about it, you should know more about this festival than I do, right? "
Because I took on some missions, I left Liyue Harbor for a few days.
Ying, who had just returned and saw this scene, found that Paimon beside her seemed equally surprised.
She had to spend a lot of money on food every month, and she had a vague feeling that she was being cheated.
".Ahem, this."
"——As for this, of course I know about it, Paimon!"
Although it was a little bit stuck, it was like I was suddenly in a familiar area.
A white-haired ball floating in the air put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest, then spoke with some pride:
"——According to my understanding, the first full moon night of each year is Liyue's "Sea Lantern Festival".
This is one of the oldest and most important festivals in Liyue’s history.”
"On the night of the Lantern Festival, people not only have a reunion dinner with their relatives and friends to celebrate the reunion,
They will also release the "Sky Lantern" and "Bright Sky Lantern", praying that the souls of the heroes who have protected Liyue in history will return along with the lights so that they can enjoy a reunion together."
After a brief pause, Paimeng pointed to the stalls selling Sky Lanterns on the roadside, indicating that these were the Sky Lanterns in Liyue's tradition.
After Ying nodded, he continued to introduce:
"——Besides this, the meaning of the Sky Lantern is more than that.
Every year, the "lanterns" that rise into the night sky are often hung with wish sticks with wishes or pictures drawn on them and released.
According to Liyue tradition,
If you do this, you will have the opportunity to realize these wishes next year under the blessing of the heroic spirits."
"."
During the introduction, Paimon patted the rice ball beside him, which had grown a lot, and told the little guy to stop making trouble.
Then he looked at the blonde girl in front of him expectantly, clenched his fists and suggested:
“——Ying, we have been in Liyue for a while now, why don’t we release some sky lanterns this year!”
"——In this way, maybe a god will be able to receive Paimon's wish, and next year there will be endless Mora to spend and endless delicious food to eat!"
fluorescent:"."
Even if this legend about praying for blessings is true, is there really any god who can fulfill your weird wishes?
As expected,
After Ying complained in her heart,
But he fell into deep thought because of a word Paimon mentioned earlier:
".Reunion?"
"."
"Hmm? Ying, what's wrong?"
". Could it be that the information in the void is inaccurate, wu——"
I found that my partner seemed to be in a bad mood.
Paimon thought he had said something wrong at first.
After nervously confirming the information in the void, a certain white-haired ball accidentally let the secret slip and looked around with a guilty conscience.
fluorescent:"."
I knew it, so you, as a guide, actually don’t know anything, and you followed me just to get free food and drinks, right?
Recalling that after having rice balls, Paimon's food expenses have become increasingly inflated,
The blonde girl, who had gotten used to her partner and could no longer drive him away, also sighed deeply in her heart.
".Okay, don't worry.
It’s not because of you, Paimon.”
"——I just suddenly thought of my brother,
I don’t know what his current situation is after being captured by that strange god.”
".And up to now, we haven't got any clues.
If I ask that scholar, he also suggested that we ask the gods of several countries, but I don’t know how to start.”
Thinking of the overwhelming power of that god at that time,
Fearing that there might be some unacceptable outcome in the end, Ying also sighed deeply.
".Woo, don't worry, Ying, since you are fine, your brother will definitely not encounter any problems either."
"Gulu."
Rice ball also nodded to express his comfort.
".Don't worry about me too much, Paimon.
There is actually some kind of connection between us. I can feel that my brother still exists somewhere in this world.
Even though the situation may not be so good, as long as I keep traveling, I will be able to meet him one day. "
".It's just that the status of Liyue's gods is too high.
It is said that ordinary Liyue people can only see the Rock King once a year during the Summoning Immortal Ceremony.
If we continue like this, there is no way we will run into each other unless we happen to meet the emperor who is visiting incognito like in the myth."
". But such a powerful, ancient and majestic god must have looked majestic even if he was visiting incognito.
I have never seen such a person before.”
Recalling what happened after I came to Liyue,
Ying discovered that the most powerful person she knew was probably the scholar Lin Feng from Xumi.
But even that one was so easy to get along with. When he was chatting with Paimon and teasing his guide, there was no trace of the majesty of a god.
Therefore, the first god he met was the maintainer of heaven's law, and Ying, who had already formed a preconceived notion, did not doubt the other party's identity as a god's follower.
——As an identical world, the gods on Teyvat are most likely as majestic and difficult to deal with as the maintainer of justice.
——It’s impossible that there are gods in this world who like to go shopping, grow vegetables, and tie food to wooden sticks to catch Paimon for fun?
"."
".Looking back, almost all the difficulties I encountered after coming to Liyue were helped by him.
Work, weapons, even companions and a place to live."
"No matter how you think about this year's Lantern Festival, you must prepare a good gift."
I feel that Paimon and I have received a lot of help from that scholar.
Even though she couldn't figure out why he would help her like this, it didn't stop Ying from being grateful to him. ——If it weren't for this job at the Order and the magical "Dust Song Pot",
Given her guide's appetite, she and Paimon might have to sleep in the open air and eat only strange mushrooms when hungry.
"."
".This kind of thing is scary to think about.
Maybe at that time, it would be a good idea to use Paimon as emergency food."
“——Absolutely not!”
I heard the blonde girl beside me suddenly say something terrible.
A certain angry white-haired ball also objected strongly and righteously:
".If you encounter a situation where income is low, then Paimon can eat a little less reluctantly.
So no matter what, it is absolutely not allowed to use important guides as emergency food without authorization! "
"."
".Well, if you mean like today, changing five servings of Wanmintang boiled fish into four, then I think there shouldn't be much difference."
Ying complained somewhat weakly.
".Then, then three and a half portions. No, three portions will be fine too! Anyway, you are not allowed to eat Paimon!"
After hesitating for a long time, Paimon, who finally made a "huge" sacrifice, continued his protest.
".Okay, okay.
Don't worry, I'm just talking, I won't really eat you.
I just feel a little distressed because I don’t know how to see God.”
".The gods of Teyvat are such a mysterious group of beings.
It is probably impossible for ordinary people to meet them."
Recalling the results I have found out during this period of time,
When I think about how to ask for an audience with the Geo King, even the people of Liyue don't know.
Ying felt that the probability of her seeing this god was very small.
——You can't possibly expect this Rock King to come to you while you're shopping on the street, right?
"——Huh?! Look, it's that scholar Lin Feng, and there seem to be a few people I don't know around him."
"——No, why is that strange salesman I met last time also in here?
Could it be that Liyue’s funeral business doesn’t even let go of people from Xumi? ! "
"."
I heard Paimon's extremely surprised voice beside me.
Ying decided to go to Shen He, the disciple of the immortal family, to ask for clues later.
He also shook his head, putting the matter about the gods aside for the time being, and looked up with some curiosity:
——Then he saw the strange salesman who was selling funeral supplies last time, and the scholar Lin Feng whom he was most familiar with.
Beside them were a young man who looked like a scholar, a boy in green clothes, and a young girl with a side ponytail.
At this moment, the cute little guy with the unique hair color was holding the scholar's hand very naturally, and curiously looking around at the New Year scene in front of him that best reflected the characteristics of Liyue.
".Indeed, there are many people I don't know.
But if I remember correctly, apart from that little girl,
We seem to have seen the others on the street near Chihuyan. So they knew each other?"
"——Hey, Paimon knows this!"
"I guess we became friends because we often eat at Wanmin Hall. Eating is the best way to build friendships!"
A certain white-haired girl stood with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, as if to say that all the food she had eaten was not in vain.
fluorescent:"."
It seems that this is indeed the most likely possibility. After all, judging from the attire of these people from all over the world, they don't seem to be the ones I knew before.
But what about that little kid? Is he the child of another scholar in the Fatwa?
I took a look at the little white-haired girl with a side ponytail.
Ying also noticed the other person's attire, which was very characteristic of Xumi.
"——Okay, stop looking, Ying,
Since we happened to meet, let's go say hello together.
And, if you're lucky, you might even be able to get some clues about the gods!"
Paimon waved his hand and called to the blonde girl who was standing behind him, thinking inexplicably.
"Gulu~"
Fantuan also nodded, looking as if he couldn't wait to get closer.
"."
".Okay, although I didn't want to trouble him anymore,
But since we happened to meet, let’s go and say hello.”
He shook his head and put the thoughts in his mind aside for the time being.
The blonde girl also led her friend and walked towards the group of people who were out shopping in the alley.
the other side.
While Liyue was busy preparing to welcome the New Year,
In a certain Western-style house in Fontaine, the atmosphere was obviously not so relaxed.
Fontaine, Vasari Galleries, Buffatti House.
"."
".Father, if Linnet and I are not mistaken, the Supreme Inquisitor should have returned from his vacation."
". And there was a force of that strength appearing near the Water God's room before, which contradicts the assumption that the opponent is not strong. I am worried..."
Linny, who was wearing a round magic hat, and Linnet, who always had a cold expression beside him, looked at the "father" in front of them with some hesitation.
But what is special is that the "father" they are talking about obviously does not mean it literally.
——No matter how you look at it, this tall figure with white hair and red eyes is undoubtedly a real woman.
“No need to say more,
No matter how bad the situation is, we have no right to refuse.
If I'm not mistaken, you might want to persuade me to give up?"
".No, Father, I..."
Hearing this faint question,
This magician, who was always able to remain calm when performing outside no matter how thrilling the scene was, actually showed some visibly nervousness.
"."
".Don't be so nervous. I said that when we are at home, there is nothing taboo in our conversations."
Seeing the boy in front of him looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated,
Among the Fatui executives, Arlecino is known as "servant", and rarely has a good attitude towards his colleagues.
However, he took the initiative to slow down his tone and responded in a gentle tone that was extremely rare in the outside world.
Seeing that Linny was about to say something,
Arecino just shook his head and gave his decision:
".The uncertainty of this plan is too high, so I will be fully responsible from now on.
You and Linnitt continue to lurk in Fontaine and wait for follow-up orders.
Until the chicks grow up, this is not a task you should be involved in now."
After a brief pause, she put down the cup of tea that Linnet had brewed herself.
He looked up in the direction of a certain snowy country, and said with a dangerous look in his eyes:
"I will not refuse a mission. This is the price I should pay as an executive officer of the Fatui."
".But those colleagues and winter dignitaries who wanted to use unfavorable circumstances to make me give up the mission and choose to use Hearth House as "compensation",
After the mission, I will naturally give them the "reward" they deserve. "
Thinking of a certain second-in-command who had been waiting for the mission to fail in order to seek "cooperation",
Now called "father" by countless children, Alechino also began to think about how to solve the almost impossible task before him.
