People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 357 Lin Feng: I don't mean anything else. Can you send two of your men to help the doctor?

"."

".Hmm. That's weird. Paimon doesn't understand anything at all."

"——So, who is this guy who speaks in riddles?
He is very generous though.”

After seeing Dain push the door and leave,
Not only myself, but also Ying beside me seemed to have many question marks on her head.
Just now, because the topic between the two people was too profound, I couldn't get a word in.
So Paimon, who could only eat with the rice ball, couldn't help but complain.

". I don't know anything other than the name he gave me."

Ying shook her head.

".But if nothing unexpected happens, that guy is very strong, much stronger than most people we meet."

Then, amid Paimon's surprised expression, the blonde girl said this in a serious tone.

".Very strong?! Really?
——Is it stronger than when you first came to this world? !”

I have heard about her and her brother's past from my friends.

It is clear that Ying's power was much stronger than it is now.

Paimon was also very surprised that the Riddler could get such an evaluation.

"I don't know. I just have this vague intuition. It's hard to say whether it's an illusion or not."

"But no matter what, the pressure he just gave me was much greater than that of the executive officer we met in Liyue."

Recalling the powerful aura that leaked out when the other party mentioned the abyss just now,
Ying shook her head and explained to Paimon beside her.

".Hmm. He does seem to be a mysterious guy. His origins are as hard to understand as the words he said."

"——But he just left a lot of Mora for the bartender, and he was very generous in asking for a treat.
Paimon felt that a generous guy like him must not be a bad person. "

Suddenly, he made a judgment about Dain's behavior in a way that the blonde girl couldn't understand.

After a moment of silence, Ying looked at the white-haired ball next to her.
Suddenly I felt that if I didn't keep a close eye on this guy, he might be lured into a cage by the treasure-stealing group with a few delicious meals one day.
shook his head,

Putting aside the worries about Paimon's future for the time being,
Ying recalled the point that she was most concerned about during the conversation just now, and said with some doubt:
".Dain gave me a strange feeling, as if he had known me for a long time, but I clearly had no impression of him."

".But anyway, I don't think he is someone who would lie, so his final advice is..."

？ ！！

“——Yes!
The last time you met the God of Rock, he said that the "God of Authority" of Xumi is much stronger than other gods, and can even fight against the enemy you met at that time.

If you think like this, doesn't that mean that everything Dain said just now is true? ! "

"——The god of Xumi is not the same as all the other gods, but has some other hidden identity!!"

After hearing Ying talk about Dain's great power, Paimon suddenly realized something.
There was no reason for such a strange guy to meet her and Ying just to give them the wrong message.

But if what the other party said was true, then could it be that the God of Xumi is really some super boss hiding behind the scenes? !
".Hmm. It sounds bad that the first owner of the world has such a title, right?
I always feel like he'll be the kind of powerful villain who, once his identity is revealed, will immediately transform and start a war to take back the world."

He clenched his two round little fists.
The white-haired ball seemed to really think that if she and Ying revealed this secret, they would be silenced immediately.

"."

“Well, Paimon, have you been reading too many light novels recently?

It’s better to buy less of this kind of thing.”

"——Don't forget, Dain said that he has irreconcilable conflicts with all living beings today.
But Xumi doesn’t look like an extreme country at all now, right?
So, even if what Dain said is true, that special god may not do anything to other people."

shook his head,

I searched the void for a long time, but I didn't find any valuable information.

"After a chaotic and brutal war, seven gods representing seven elements each ruled a country." The earliest history probably only records this far.
As for the things that happened before, perhaps it was because she did not have enough authority.
No matter how you look at it, you can only find some rumors and unofficial history that are not very valuable for reference.

I vaguely feel that this ancient history may be something very secret.

Although Ying's doubts were not resolved, she decided not to worry about things that they had no say in for the time being:

——Don't say that your strength has not fully recovered yet,
Even if she and her brother were at their strongest, they would have absolutely no chance of winning against an opponent who could be called the "Lord of the World".
Rather than worrying about the other party's speculation,
It would be better to trust your current judgment, and at most ask someone later about the more ancient history before the Seven Gods.

"."

".However, according to Dain, could it be that the gods are just latecomers?

So who exactly is the original owner of this world? And who were the original inhabitants of this world?

Do they really want to take back this world?"

I have temporarily given up on this question which currently has no clues.
Ying always has a premonition in her heart for no reason.
That is, if their journey continues, then perhaps sooner or later they will come into contact with this race that is more ancient than humans.

On the other side, on the east side of Mondstadt, there is the Thousand Winds Temple below the Star-Picking Cliff.

While Ying and Paimon were suspicious,

A certain "villain behind the scenes" who had not paid attention to Mondstadt was chatting with a sudden visitor and had no idea that he had such a title.

It's almost noon,

The sun shone down with a slightly scorching heat.

The warm golden light swept across the gentle slopes and hills on one side of the temple, and finally hit the circular staircase, next to the two people who were "plotting loudly" side by side. Sitting on the left side of the staircase, with a relaxed posture, was Lin Feng, who had originally planned to go out to look for food.
The blond figure next to him, who looked uncomfortable, was naturally the little yellow-haired man from the Abyss who came as promised:
——I don't know if it's because I've been in dark places for too long, and the fact that the Abyss Cult was hated by everyone in the past is still lingering.

The little yellow-haired boy, who had carefully hidden deep in the ruins every time he went out, was suddenly exposed to direct sunlight in this open space, and his movements became a little unnatural.

After a short silence, he thought about the topic they were talking about.
Although Kong knew that with the other party's strength, no one would notice them even if they went to the street to talk,

But if we consider their current topic
He still couldn't understand why someone would choose a place that had nothing to do with the word "conspiracy" as the place for the conversation.
He sighed slightly, thinking of the request the other party had just made.

Facing this first order issued to the Abyss Cult, Sora's face also showed some doubts for the first time in a long time:
".So, what you mean is that you have a friend who wants to "help" an executive of Solstice to realize his plan.

So he wants me to send the Abyss Mage at the right time to stop the Knights of Favonius who arrive after their plan is 'accidentally' exposed? "

".Well, let's not talk about why the plan would be "accidentally" exposed.
In short, your friend's 'help' is really special."

Knowing the reputation of the Abyss Cult,
After a brief thought, Sora realized that their plan was best discussed in the dark depths of the ruins.

And given how hellish this plan was, any location that was slightly brighter wouldn't qualify as an alternative location.

"Well, actually the reason why I asked you to study the abyss this time is because I will be carrying out a far-reaching plan in Mond in the future.

In order to prevent members of the cult from being accidentally injured by the gods, I had already explained the current status of the Abyss Cult to this friend when I was in Liyue.
Considering that Mond's current diplomatic situation is too bad, he took this opportunity to entrust me to issue this mission to you."

".As a reward, he will use the wind to guide the hill people of Mondstadt to several gathering places.
Afterwards, you can relocate these remnants of Kanria from Mondstadt, just like you did in Liyue and Xumi."

"."

Earlier in Liyue, Lin Feng had explained to Wendy and the old man that the Abyss Cult would no longer be a threat.
This time, perhaps because Wendy was about to enjoy retirement, her mind, which was usually filled with only wine, became more active than ever.

Last time I heard that he was looking for someone from the Abyss Cult to help study the power of the Abyss, this guy seemed to have been thinking about something.
It was not until these two days that he officially proposed his underworld plan, which could be described as "selfless help" to the "Doctor":

——Considering that the doctor has always been secretive in his research, he is likely to be short of manpower.

And later, for some unknown reason, his plan against Tevarin would be accidentally leaked at a critical moment.

If the plan that has been planned for so long fails in the end, then those Fatui in Mondstadt who participated in the plan will be pitiful.
In order to support the other party and ensure the smooth implementation of the doctor's plan,

Wendy was also kind-hearted and decided to entrust some Abyss Mages to serve as the opponent's "reinforcements" at the critical moment.
In addition, as a bonus service for helping you,

These abyss mages can even help the Knights of Favonius to express their victory speech in advance as a friendly gesture.

"."

After understanding who Lin Feng was talking about, Kong became even more silent for a while:

——As expected of Mondstadt,

This kind of underworld plan full of the atmosphere of "freedom" can probably only be proposed here.

shook his head,

Because the "Doctor" had previously captured members of the cult for research, his reputation in the cult was also very bad.
There is no sympathy for the other party's fate in my heart.

Having basically understood the cause and effect of the plan, Kong was very happy to make such a deal:
".No problem, the vast majority of the members of the cult will be willing to accept this commission.
Once the time, location, and number of people are confirmed, please contact me directly."

Know in your heart,

According to the other party's promise to help restore the hill people to their original state after everything is over,
Even if the members of the cult knew that the Knights of Favonius might cause casualties to the participants, they would definitely choose to accept it enthusiastically.

As long as we can bring back more original hill people who are not projections of the earth veins,
Then no matter how slim the chances are, they at least still have a chance to find their family or friends in the future.

"Well, don't worry. The cult doesn't need too many people to participate in the plan, and there won't be any casualties.
Just think of this as an experiment of mine on the power of the abyss. I will then provide some small enhancements to the participants."

I am sure that the plan does not need to increase its credibility by causing casualties among the Abyss Cult.
On the contrary, the powerful abyss monsters that are out of character can have a more miraculous effect.
Seeing Kong's somewhat surprised expression, Lin Feng also smiled and made his promise.

".Thank you for your help then."

Recalling how I have gradually become accustomed to casualties over the past few hundred years due to constant choices,

For a moment, Kong even thought that it might not be a bad thing for the cult to be recruited by the other party.

"."

".Okay, now that we have finished talking, it's almost time."

"You came over this morning, so my original plan was interrupted. Now I should make up for this breakfast anyway."

He stood up from where he was and moved his body slightly.
Lin Feng looked at the sky in front of him, which had not appeared in the sun for a long time, and tried to invite him:
"——How about it, now that we're already in Mondstadt, would you like to come along?
It is still easy for me to bear the burden of feeding one more person."

"."

"Thank you, but let's forget it this time."

It has been many years since I last saw such a scene. Facing this long-awaited invitation, Kong was silent for a moment.

In the end, he shook his head and decided to wait here for the guy who would come over later.

".That's fine. After all, you and your travel companion probably haven't seen each other for many years.
Since you are not going to avoid me this time, let’s have a good talk.”

The "Sword of the Last Light" has been discovered wandering in the distance.
Although Lin Feng was somewhat curious about this guy,
But considering the past between the Little Yellow Hair in the Abyss and Dain, he decided not to disturb this special "Paimon" who came to his door this time.

Lin Feng left.
He didn't even have breakfast, so he planned to go to the Deer Hunter in the city and order two servings of fried meat with honey-glazed carrots or sweet flower-stuffed chicken.

In the space he deliberately left, in the center of the temple ruins illuminated by the sun,
As Kong finally stopped hiding his aura and looked directly at his old friend who was chasing after him,
Since the journey ended, the two blond figures had been separated for who knows how long.
Finally, the opportunity for intersection was once again ushered in between these broken ruins.
