People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 345 Arriving in Mond!

“——Huh?! What on earth are these? Who said that these scholars have no ability to resist?!!”

"——Damn it, I can't even break such a thick iron lump! Where's the boss? I remember he's a master who can use elemental power."

"——Don't look for him anymore. The boss has been stunned by the noise of that guy landing just now. Let the brothers surrender!"

"Hey, um, please be gentle. I just received a message that I need to interrogate these mercenaries later."

"."

Behind the main battlefield, where the scholar team is located.

After dealing with all the treasure-stealing groups that gathered here,

Ying and Paimon, who had rushed here because they were worried about the people behind, looked at the scene in front of them which could be described as "a riot of demons", and fell into silence for a moment.

"Well, I remember them saying they were here to do construction work, right?"

"."

"——So, how on earth do these machines look like they're used for construction?!"

A certain white-haired ball recalled the information he had obtained while chatting with this group of scholars along the way, and suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of contrast.
——If she hadn't seen these huge guys in front of her who looked difficult to deal with, she would have almost believed that this group of scholars were construction workers who had no fighting ability at all!

“No wonder Lin Feng didn’t look worried at all, it seems like he must have known what these scholars brought with them.

They didn't even tell us, which made me, Paimon, think that these scholars were weaklings that even I could beat several of them. How despicable!"

Seeing Ying trying her best to barely pass the treasure-stealing group cleanup test just now, and even being criticized by that guy for lacking the means to deal with the group,
Paimeng felt that if he let these guys at the back go to the main battlefield, maybe he only needed to fly up and down a few times to stun all the treasure-hunting groups nearby!
"Ah, you're back! We just received news that the battlefield ahead has been resolved. We didn't expect you to come to support us so soon!"

"——The situation just now was too dangerous. In order to prevent us from being killed by this group of powerful mercenaries,
The seniors had no choice but to use these engineering machines, and they were able to barely fight against these guys."

All the scholars had already agreed on their views before they came. Seeing this powerful guard coming to support them from the front,

A scholar who was not operating the relic mechanism also ran over and explained the current situation in a prepared speech.

Paimon/Ying: "."

Barely fighting? Construction machinery? Are you serious?
Looking up at the front of the "fierce battle", I only saw a huge guy in the sky who looked extremely powerful, using some unique energy wall to circle all the treasure-stealing groups together.
As for these "incredibly powerful" mercenaries, any counterattacks they made on the machines below would at most create a few sparks.

I vaguely remember hearing them say on the road that the machine they carried had an "energy wall generator" to prevent passers-by from mistakenly entering the construction site.
But looking at the giant machine in the sky that obviously had many slots reserved,

Ying and Paimeng could not connect it with the words "safe production" no matter what.

"."

Seeing that all the mercenaries were easily knocked unconscious by the shock of these giants, the scholars even had some regrets on their faces.

Thinking about their statements along the way that they were just construction workers and had no combat power, Paimeng suddenly felt that there must be something wrong with this group of inexplicable scholars!
After a while, the main battlefield was cleaned up.

Because in the process of kidnapping people, they also found a lot of cages that the treasure-stealing group had prepared in advance, and Kaia and Amber were thorough pragmatists.
Therefore, after the two of them finished their work, a rather strange scene appeared in the wilderness:
——Many treasure-hunting groups of different sizes, who had originally planned to come for robbery, were tied up and stacked into the "trophy cages" they had prepared.

Next to these cages is a group of "weak scholars" who are extremely excited and even a little unsatisfied.

"."

Recalling the scene I saw at the reunion,
Just now, I was particularly shocked by the fighting power of Lin Feng and Ying who wiped out hundreds of members of the treasure-stealing group.
Turning around, I discovered what the so-called "construction machinery" was.

If it weren't for the excellent reputation of the Church of the Immaculate Conception and the two gods,

Kaeya even began to suspect that they were planning to take down the headquarters of the Mondstadt Knights while the Grand Master was away.

He shook his head and updated his estimate of the combat power of Xumi.

He finally understood why the Fatui, who were now dominating Mondstadt, had completely stopped all activities in Xumi:

——Even if we don't mention the scholar Lin Feng who was obviously letting the opponent down in the previous battle,
These construction scholars who seem to have little combat power on the surface can probably easily annihilate several elite advance teams.

I sighed, and put the excitement I just felt when I saw these machines deep in my heart.

Kaiya also calmed himself down and thanked all the great contributors who helped turn the situation around.

After a while,

"——The situation is really dire this time. Thanks to your help, we were able to arrest these treasure-stealing gangs.
We are not far from Wangshu Inn now. After dealing with these enemies, let's take a break there."

"."

Obviously, the Knights of Favonius were responsible for leading the way and also for protecting safety, but the final solution to the crisis was entirely dependent on the preparations made by Xumi.
When Kaeya discovered that many of the captured treasure-stealing gangs had bounties on their heads in Mondstadt,
He also solemnly promised to help apply for additional rewards in addition to the bounty.

With a surprised look on his face, a certain white-haired boy paid for everyone's meals at Wangshu Inn.

Kaiya finally made some arrangements for the future, and he felt a little headache looking at the many treasure-stealing groups in front of him:
——These treasure-stealing groups that smuggled in from Mond have actually formed such a large group. There is obviously someone behind the scenes directing them, so necessary interrogation is inevitable.

But the reinforcements on their side were too capable, and with the current carrying capacity of the team, they were unable to take away these hundreds of prisoners.

"."

"——How about we only take the leader with us and leave the rest of the treasure-stealing group to the Qianyan Army?"

"I heard that Tianquan, one of the Seven Stars, has recently improved Liyue's prison by imitating the Mello Petersburg in Fontaine, so that prisoners can participate in the construction of Liyue while undergoing reform.

If she could get these high-quality testers, she would definitely be grateful to everyone in Mondstadt."

Seeing the difficulties the team was currently facing, Lin Feng took the initiative to step forward and offered his own suggestion with a smile.

".Prisoners? Labor?"

"Wow, there is actually such a convenient system?

I feel like Mond should learn a little from Fontaine after this."

After hearing the scholar's suggestion, he had been troubled by the large number of freeloaders in Mond Prison.

Kaiya suddenly had some inspiration and his eyes lit up. He felt that such measures would most likely effectively reduce the probability of those criminals being imprisoned again.

"——Then let's do it this way."

"If these criminals can really play their due value in the process of transformation, it can be regarded as making up for the troubles they have caused to Liyue since their entry into the country."

I immediately agreed to this approach.

Kaiya used his past experience to accurately identify several leaders among these guys.
Amber volunteered to go to the nearest Thousand Rock Army outpost to be in charge of liaison, while he stayed where he was to guard against the treasure-stealing group accidentally waking up.

"——Thank you very much for your cooperation. We will report your heroic deeds to the General Affairs Department as quickly as possible!"

Just patrolling, hundreds of prisoners who were already in custody suddenly fell from the sky.
The captain of the Qianyan Army, who could hardly suppress his smile, expressed his sincere gratitude before the scholars left. "Huh, after dealing with so many treasure-stealing groups, there shouldn't be any more inexplicable enemies in the future, right?"

"It's rare that Kaeya is willing to treat us, now Paimon and Onigiri can finally have a good meal!"

"."

After a long journey, they suddenly experienced such an exciting event. When the initial excitement passed, everyone present was more or less tired.

But there are always exceptions in any group.

At least one of the white-haired guys could hardly suppress the excitement on his face after hearing that he could have a hearty meal at Wangshu Inn.

It flew up from Ying's legs and skillfully maintained its balance on the moving self-regulatory mechanism.
Because the expectation in my heart is too strong,
Paimeng, who wanted to distract the attention a little, also floated in front of Lin Feng:

"——Speaking of which, now that you are free, can you tell us why you can use so many elements?"

"——Could it be that Xumi has developed some super-powerful technology?!"

Because he was too impressed by Lin Feng's ability to throw out a bunch of spears of different elements at will,

Paimon, who finally found this opportunity to be alone while the others were resting, asked impatiently.

"."

Hearing the question from her companion, Ying also cast a curious look over.

Although Paimon said that she might be able to obtain different elemental powers after going to other countries,

But so far, apart from the Fatui executive known as "Young Master", she has never seen a being who can use multiple elements.

".Well, actually, if I have to explain, the principle is not complicated."

"My ability to use different elements is actually just a superficial application of the power of the earth veins."

The technology of extracting elemental power from elemental crystals has existed since ancient times, and Xumi is now experienced in using earth vein energy.
Thinking that he could also help the little yellow-haired boy learn some knowledge about the earth veins, Lin Feng felt that there was no need to hide anything on this point.

"Leylines? Well, Paimon has heard of some basic concepts, but does this thing allow people to use many kinds of elemental powers?"

Paimon, who called himself the "gold medal guide", scratched his head. His performance in knowledge level can be said to be as stable as ever.

"Haha, generally speaking, of course it's not possible."

"Although there is a huge elemental force flowing through the earth veins, which can even give rise to ferocious predatory plants such as the Explosive Fire Tree and the Quick Frost Tree,
However, due to differences in race and physiological form, most species are generally unable to directly utilize the elemental power."

"Then what did you do?"

Paimon became more and more confused.

"——You should have experienced the resurrection of the Ryota Dragon King in Liyue before. Aren't you curious about what I was doing at that time?"

"Although the relationship between elemental dragons, the world, and gods is too complicated, it is not convenient to explain the relevant knowledge to you for the time being."

"But you only need to know that this ancient being who is revered as the King of Rock Dragons not only has power no less than that of the ruling gods,

Or one of the top elemental creatures in all of Teyvat."

"——And his authority is closely related to the elements in the earth veins."

After selectively revealing some of his movements at the time, Lin Feng also pointed at Ying beside him, wanting to see if Paimeng could think of anything.

"Eh?! Could it be that just like Ying received the blessing of the God of Wind, you also received the blessing of the King of Rock Dragons at that time?!"

It didn't take long for him to think of the protection on Ying that came from the wind element, and Paimon also cast an envious look at Lin Feng in front of him.

"Well, it's not much different. At that time, Liyue and Xumi had just started to cooperate.
As Xumi's reinforcement, I also participated in the battle."

"——After the Rock Dragon regained his sanity, I happened to be nearby, so I was lucky enough to receive a portion of his power as a thank you gift.
Now I can use the elements in these earth veins, which can be said to be inseparable from the gift of the Rock Dragon."

After briefly recounting his experience at that time, Lin Feng felt that what he said was not much different from the facts.

"."

"I wish Paimon was nearby at the time. I didn't expect there would be such a powerful blessing.

If only Paimon could use all the elemental powers himself."

Because of the honest attitude of the man in front of him, he didn't think Lin Feng was lying.

After hearing that he had missed such a good opportunity, a certain white-haired boy rubbed his hair with some regret.

"Haha, there's no need to be too envious. After all, this method of use also has many disadvantages.
Even if I were to use it, apart from pure destructive power, it would still not be as powerful as the grass element, which I possess in many aspects."

Finding that Paimon's associative ability did not disappoint as always, Lin Feng also smiled and frankly pointed out the shortcomings of this method of use:
——The elemental authority obtained from the earth veins in this way cannot reach the level of a normal complete elemental dragon. At most, the difference is the least in pure destructive power.
If he were to use it in battle, it would probably be only two-thirds of the normal power.

".Oh, I'm still so envious. I can make iced juice in the summer and heat up food anytime and anywhere. It would be great if Paimon also had this ability."

Lin Feng: "."

Well, it seems that everyone is paying attention to something different.

When it comes to judging Paimon using normal people’s way of thinking, I’m still a little too young.

"."

"Eh?! Why did you suddenly arrest me? Did Paimon ask something he shouldn't have asked?"

"Wow - Ying, come and save me!"

shook his head,

Grab the white-haired ball in front of you that floats around in front of you every day but usually won't let you touch it.
I found that this guy was somewhat aware of his nosing behavior.

Lin Feng, who had long wanted to pull this guy's face, temporarily borrowed her from Ying who was standing beside him.

Two days later, outside Mondstadt.

After resting for one night at Wangshu Inn, I worked overtime for two days and one night.

Seeing the destination of this trip right in front of us,
Looking at the familiar bridge in front of me and the clear wine lake beside me, I finally arrived at the most familiar place in this game.

Even Lin Feng, who no longer needs poultry meat, stood at the stone Mond Bridge with a sense of nostalgia for some reason.
