People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 331: Wendy: I ​​am so weak, please keep the Heart of God for me
On the south side of Liyue Bridge, there is temporary housing allocated by the Ministry of Education for its staff.

Even though the Lantern Festival just passed,

However, many Xumi scholars wearing green and blue uniforms were still walking around here, communicating and exchanging ideas with each other as usual.

If you get a little closer,
You can also hear words such as "internship", "credits", "thesis", "graduation" and so on, which are slightly unfamiliar to the residents of Liyue.

Although the Liyue Office of the Ministry of Education is right next to the General Affairs Department,
After a few months of getting along, the original Liyue residents in this area have long been accustomed to those young people who are busy all day long.

But a few old men who occasionally walked by saw these young men who had already started to lose their hair at such a young age.

Still, I shook my head, feeling somewhat emotional about the study pressure in neighboring countries.

——Since the influence of the Decree House has gradually expanded among the countries, the branches established in other countries have gradually begun to be standardized.
Although the people who usually handle affairs are full-time administrative scholars,
The researchers who come here to carry out the project are often distributed among the wild mountains and ridges.
However, if you are a student who wants to expand your horizons and find inspiration for your graduation thesis,
You can also voluntarily apply to come to branches in other countries and conduct local social surveys and ecological research more conveniently through the cooperation channels provided by the Ministry of Education.

The vast majority of people living in this area are students from the academy who are struggling with graduation and writing their thesis.

——Of course, not everyone has a sad look on their face.

At least a certain blonde girl who didn't need to write a paper was happily chatting with her companions beside her under many envious eyes:
".Come to think of it, although you only mentioned it once, Mona, you said before that you were originally planning to go to Mondstadt, right?"

"The gods' time is very precious. Perhaps every minute and every second has a corresponding arrangement.
In this case, we don't know when the Rock God will be free to meet with Paimon and me. Is it really okay for you to stay with us in Liyue for too long?"

"Huh? Now that you mention it, it seems that Mona did plan to go to Mondstadt in the beginning.

I’ve been having so much fun recently that Paimon has almost forgotten about this matter.”

After hearing Ying's question, Paimon, who was trying hard to explain to Klee that the rice ball was not a lizard,
He also temporarily gave up on pulling the rice ball's tail out of Klee's arms and looked over with some confusion.

"Wow. What a beautiful lizard tail."

"."

"——Ah! So Sister Mona is going to Mondstadt too? Welcome to Mondstadt!"

Finally, I touched the tail of a small lizard with satisfaction.

Klee was just about to study the difference between this one and the ones she caught before.
His attention was instantly diverted by the topic about Mond.

"."

"Well, I'm not really in a hurry. I'd rather wait as long as possible.

Anyway, nothing good ever happened to me from that old woman."

Mona, who was holding her glasses in her hand and studying this "little gift" at ease,

After noticing that the people around him were looking at him, he scratched his head and answered awkwardly.

"Eh? Arrangements?"

"——Mona, do you have a difficult mission?"

Suddenly I discovered a familiar feeling of procrastination in the other person.

During this period, I could often feel Paimon's similar emotions when Ying went to practice elemental force manipulation.

It was a rare opportunity for him to use his clever little brain to detect the hidden information in a conversation.

".It's not that difficult. In fact, I just need to find the heir of another astrologer to retrieve some things.

Rather than a mission, it’s more like running errands.”

"And I don't know why, but I have a vague intuition that the other party may have come to Liyue Harbor during this Lantern Festival.
At such a close distance,
If I hadn’t encountered so many unexpected things recently and it wasn’t suitable for me to use astrology for the time being, it wouldn’t take too long to find the other person.”

I don't think there is anything I need to hide in the task my master gave me.

Mona also explained simply and directly to Ying and Paimon in front of her, as well as the little Klee whom she met through Amber at the Lantern Festival.

After a slight pause,
Mona, who was not very enthusiastic about this matter and felt that the current density of gods in Liyue was too high, continued to speak:
"——According to the old woman, they should have agreed on a time for the heirs to meet.
Although I am in a special state now, I don't have any divination on the other party's thoughts.
But if the heir can't find me, it means that his astrology skills are just so-so. There's no need to be too nervous.
——If the other party really comes to find me, as long as I return to normal or leave Liyue, I will definitely not be afraid of her! "

"."

He spoke candidly about his plans.
After such a long time, no one has come to find Mona.
In fact, I already feel that the successor of my master's friend is most likely a guy with average astrology skills.
She was already able to crush her opponent in divination level before, let alone now that she has gained a lot of knowledge after looking directly at the gods.

".Hmm. Astrology tree?"

"Ok?"

“——Klee, you seemed to have said that you were an official knight of the Knights of Favonius. Do you know any relevant information?!”

Hearing the murmurs coming from beside him and recalling Klee's previous self-introduction, Paimon asked with some surprise.

“——Information? Klee has no idea. Mom only taught me how to make a bouncing bomb!”

"Perhaps Brother Kaiya and Sister Amber will know where the person you are looking for, Sister Mona."

He proudly talked about the family craftsmanship left by his mother.
It seemed that because she was talking about what she was best at, Klee, who knew nothing, suddenly stood with her hands on her hips and chest out, and answered in a confident tone.

"."

"Well, although I have never seen the bouncing bomb you mentioned, why would parents teach their children such things?
Just from the sound of it, it feels like the old lady’s way of education is similar to that of others.”

I had no intention of getting any useful information from the child in front of me.

After hearing this answer,
Not only did Mona not feel any disappointment at all, but for a moment she felt that the other party's parents might be as unreliable as her master.

“——Hehe, mom is a very good person. The bouncing bomb she taught Klee is also very powerful!”

"Sister Mona, if you are curious, Keli can go find some materials and make it for you. We can also fry the finished product in the sea nearby."

"——Ah! Sorry! No! Klee promised Captain Jean that we can't go to the water to fry fish this time."

Suddenly remembering something, the excited Klee froze.
It's like being caught doing something bad.
He was still mumbling things like "confinement room", "compensation", "Klee is finished". "Is that Jean leader such a scary person? From what Amber and Kaia said, I thought he was an easy-going person."

I found that Klee's fear was about to overflow.

Paimon couldn't imagine what Captain Qin had done to make this seemingly well-behaved child in front of him so scared.

"Captain Qin is a good person! Even though he's a little scary, he's still a good person!"

"——The helpers that Sister Amber and Brother Kaeya are going to escort to Mondstadt to help fight the bad guys are those that Captain Jean has invited!"

He found that Paimon in front of him seemed to have misunderstood what he said.
Worried that she would affect Captain Qin's reputation, Klee immediately spoke up to correct this view.

"Hmm? Helpers to be escorted to Mond?
Could it be the same as the announcement Ying and I saw in the Void System, that they are scholars going to build the Mond branch of the Church of the Lords?"

".Paimon remembers that we were going to some Rido Academy this time."

"——Is it the Rituofandi School? It is the Minglun School among the six major schools.

According to the old woman, the star catalog compiled by the Ridovandi Academy is said to be a great work that compiles the fate of all living beings!"

It's rare to hear something that interests you.

Although she is very confident in the level of astrology of her own school, Mona must also admit that the Minglun school's way of analyzing fate through "calculation" also has some merits.

"Ah! Yes, that's it!"

"I heard that the road to Mondstadt is very dangerous, and there are often treasure-stealing groups and mercenaries who stop and rob people on the road.

Therefore, in order to protect the scholars who were responsible for site selection and early construction, the Faith Council also issued some commissions.
If it weren’t for the fact that we had to wait for the summons from the Rock God, Ying and I would have wanted to take on the escort mission.”

Because the reward for this mission is very generous, but Ying and I cannot leave Liyue for the time being.

Paimon originally wanted to express his regret.
But before she could finish her words, a wisp of green wind elemental power appeared in front of everyone and interrupted her sigh:

!!!

"The Great Sage/Xiao!"

After we parted at the dinner party yesterday, I saw a familiar face again.
Ying and Paimon were about to say hello when they saw the young immortal who suddenly appeared in front of them turn his head and look at them.

After a brief pause, he spoke in a more serious tone than usual:
"——According to the Emperor's decree, I will invite you two to Jueyunjian for a chat at noon tomorrow.
This is a token sent to the meeting place, please keep it carefully."

"——Everything the Emperor says and does must have a deep meaning. Please don't be rude when you meet him.

From hundreds of years ago to now, the Emperor has not officially received the people of other countries for a long time. This opportunity is rare, I hope you two will cherish it. "

He raised his hand and handed the token to Ying and Paimon, who were looking at him with a mixture of expectation and nervousness.

Xiao, who had completed the express delivery task, waved his hand and declined the invitation to stay here for a while.

At the same time, on the other side.

After Lin Feng came to Wendy's room with the refreshing tea prepared by the Emperor,
Looking at the drunkard who was clearly a god but was still sleeping soundly on the bed in Bubu Lu,
He also took out the prepared cup with a frown on his face.
The "refreshing tea" that had been boiled for six hours and exuded a subtle aroma was poured into the mouth of a bard.

".Huh, old man, you must be cheating, I can still drink."

!!!

“——Pfft, it’s so bitter, so bitter, so bitter!!!”

"I shouldn't have said such bad things about you, old man. I'll apologize right away!!"

The effect was immediate, even a little too good.
Looking at Wendy who was still talking in her sleep a second ago, after taking a sip of the refreshing tea, she immediately started to apologize at the speed of light.
For a moment, Lin Feng even doubted whether this guy was pretending to be drunk.

After some commotion,
When Wendy finally got rid of the taste that she had experienced thousands of years ago,
He knew that once he drank this, whatever alcohol he drank for the next period of time would turn into a bitter wine.

It seemed as if all his strength had been drained away, and he lay listlessly on the table:
".Wow, the old man is too heartless. Didn't he just want to get him drunk last night? At most he said a few bad words to him. Why would he let you bring this thing?"

"If I can't drink, how am I going to get through the next few days? Otherwise, I might as well just sleep for a while."

"."

Listening to Wendy's constant chatter,
Lin Feng finally understood why this pot of "refreshing tea" had to be boiled for so long and why so many medicinal herbs were needed.
He shook his head helplessly and decided to talk directly about the main reason why he came here:

"——Let's put drinking aside for now.

If you have any taste retardation, you can ask the old man for help later. He probably won't refuse.

"First, tell me why you came to me before? It can't be that you asked me to bring you some wine, right?"

Knowing that Venti in front of him had been envious of Liyue's changes for a long time, he would most likely ask him to go to Mondstadt to help deal with some problems.
After a morning of research, Lin Feng had confirmed that there was resonance between the hearts of God.

He also had no intention of rejecting this deal which was beneficial, harmless and not complicated to him.

"Commission? Oh, it seems like that's the case!"

As if she suddenly remembered her original purpose, the listless Wendy quickly sat up from the table.

He reached out from his arms and took out a green chess-piece-like object and threw it at Lin Feng.

At the same time, he spoke to the other party with a question mark on his face:
"——I haven't thought about the commission yet. Let's talk about it when we get to Mondstadt. Let me figure out how to get the old man drunk first.
As for the Heart of God, which is of no use to me,

Rather than leaving it in the possession of a weak person like me and then being accidentally snatched away, why don’t you just keep it for me first.”

He casually threw the Heart of God in front of Lin Feng as if it were a stone picked up from the roadside.

Wendy, who still smelled a little of alcohol, spoke in her usual unremarkable tone.
