People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 388 Paimon: Eh? You and Miss Catherine have such a good relationship? !
".Is that so?"

"If we can gather the wind elements of several countries, or even the entire Teyvat, then we can ensure that our combat effectiveness will not be affected too much."

“But ‘some’ cost?
Harnessing a force far beyond one's own limits, the exchange for something shouldn't be that simple, right?"

"."

"Hey, it's not a big problem.

The total amount that each person can mobilize is related to the world's recognition, and the limit threshold must be determined by oneself.

If you accidentally borrow too much, when you wake up, you will probably find that there is no work for you in the country anymore."

"咚咚-"

"Mr. Wendy, the construction of the branch of the Order Institute will officially begin today. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"——Today's main task is to plant the branches of the sacred tree, and then perform a ceremony to pray for the blessings of the Little Auspicious Grass King and the Sage.

Because this kind of scene is very rare, if you go too late you won’t be able to get a good seat.”

I just wanted to share my experience of waking up from a sleep and finding that the Mond people had already done their work on their own.
As a result, it was just a start, and the knock on the door by the scholar outside diverted the attention of the drunkard.

"."

I instantly realized that this was the drinking buddy I met in the academic circle.
Wendy slapped her forehead and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have asked someone to remind her of this matter:
"——Thank you, Hewitt, you go first!"

"——I can't miss this opportunity to see the gods. I'll go as soon as I'm ready!"

He stood up from the table and looked at Lin Feng, and found that the other person also had a bit of surprise on his face.

Suddenly I realized that because my friend had been in the consciousness space for a long time recently, his concept of time had become as vague as mine, and he had obviously almost forgotten about this kind of thing.

Sighed, in order to ensure the mental health of both of them,

After Wendy greeted the scholars outside,
It had been a long time since he decided to go with Lin Feng and join in the fun as a spectator.

At the same time, in a remote cave in Wangfeng Mountain, next to a shivering frozen tree,
As the notification came from the Void System, Paimon, who was sorting out various monster materials with a "got rich" expression on his face,

When he saw what was in the notification, his expression changed instantly.
Not only did his tone rise, he was so anxious that even the floating crown on his head was almost standing upright:
"——Wow! Ying, hurry up, it's almost too late!"

"——I've been so focused on finding materials lately.

It's all because of the strange location of those frozen trees. How could I have forgotten about this kind of thing? "

"——Today we have a ceremony to pray for the blessings of the two grass gods.

This is a rare opportunity to make the gods remember us, so we must not miss it!"

Ignore the frozen tree lying on the ground with two vines missing.
Paimon checked the large amount of various monster materials in the cave.
While feeling satisfied, he also urged Ying, who seemed to be still unsatisfied, to join in.

".Hmm? If I remember correctly, today seems to be the celebration ceremony for the official start of construction after the site selection was completed.

But why is the event called "Sacred Tree Prayer"? What is the connection between construction and sacred trees?"

“.Well, maybe it’s because they’re going to build the house on a big tree?

After all, I heard that the Xumi Church is located on a super-big tree."

Paimeng, who had not forgotten his duties as a guide and liked to browse various information in the void when he had nothing to do, made a tentative guess.

"——Huh, forget it! Let's go quickly!"

"——No matter what they are doing over there, we will know once we get there!"

I shook my head, temporarily putting other things out of my mind.
Paimeng also pulled Ying, whose rat tendencies were becoming more and more serious, and decided to talk about it later if there was anything.

After a while,

Northeast of Mond Bridge, in the hills below Starfall Lake.

A blue light flashed at an anchor point somewhere on the road, and then two figures with different hair colors, one blond and one white, appeared:

——After all, I have become very familiar with the anchor points in the Mondstadt area recently.
At the urging of a white-haired ball next to him, Ying, who was in a hurry, directly found a location closest to the construction site and teleported over with Paimon.

"Boom——"

？ ！！

Before I could stand still, I suddenly heard a loud noise like a mountain collapsing in the distance.

He looked up and forward with a head full of question marks.
Then Ying and Paimon saw a very familiar huge dragon-shaped mechanical beast flying in the sky.

"."

"Um, that thing, if I remember correctly, seems to be the engineering equipment of the Ministry of Education, right?"

“.It seems to be called something like ‘Sustainable Production Device for Construction Site Protection Walls’.”

"Now it seems that this thing is indeed quite useful."

With their superior vision, Ying and Paimon could see that the source of the loud noise was a "drilling machine" that was leveling the mountain and leveling the terrain.
However, this large-scale project would obviously turn the surrounding areas into dangerous areas.
At this moment, because of the force field barrier created by the big guy in the sky, the two of them didn't even feel the vibration.

"."

I instantly understood why even ordinary people could watch this ceremony.
Previously, I always thought that these things were just combat weapons, Ying and Paimon,

For a moment, we have to admit that although their appearance is easy to be misunderstood, they can indeed handle their job as "construction machinery" perfectly.

"Well, they should be making some preliminary preparations now. It seems that we are not too late."

".But the visiting area doesn't seem to be here, so let's get closer first."

“——Huh?! Isn’t that Researcher Lin Feng over there? The people around him look so familiar.”

"——Ah! I see! That looks like Miss Catherine from the Adventurer's Guild!
So, can I see her outside the counter?"

I discovered a very wonderful combination by accident.

Paimon and Ying rubbed their eyes and saw Miss Catherine outside the counter of the Adventurer's Guild for the first time.

".So, how are you doing lately?
Well, but nothing should be difficult for you now." "Well, basically everything is normal.
Based on the current progress, it won’t be long before I can take a new elemental dragon to the desert to awaken the power of wind.”

"."

"——By the way, Mondstadt's wind dragon is called Tevarin, and he's a pretty nice guy.

When we reach Xumi later, I can ask it to take you flying in the sky for a few laps.

If it were you, you would definitely like this fairy tale-like feeling."

"——Good morning! Researcher Lin Feng, Miss Catherine!"

"——Did you guys know each other?"

"."

I borrowed their poster girl from the Adventurer's Association after a long absence.
Lin Feng was originally chatting with "Catherine".
Suddenly, a lively voice came from the side.

"."

I paused for a moment and looked at the time.
Lin Feng also shook his head and looked at Nashida beside him:
".Well, it seems that two friends have come to visit.
The ceremony is about to begin, so we can talk about the rest later when we have time."

"After a while, when we reach Xumi, I will ask Tevarin to give you a copy of the token that summons it.
There are many festivals in Mondstadt, and the atmosphere is the most relaxed of the Seven Kingdoms. If you want to go out for a stroll in the future, you can always ask Tevarin to take you there."

".good."

"If you ever feel tired in the future, don't forget that Xumi and I always welcome you to come back and rest."

He tilted his head slightly and smiled at Lin Feng.
Because I kind of miss the feeling of sneaking out to play for the first time.

Narcida, who has temporarily borrowed Catherine's body,

Because he was in a very good mood, he unconsciously made the body of this bionic doll look a little more lively than usual.

".Hmm, is it my illusion? I feel that Miss Catherine looks a little different today."

".I've never seen you go to the Adventurer's Guild, but I wonder if you two have such a good relationship."

As soon as I arrived, I found that Catherine seemed to have an indescribable feeling today than before.
Glancing at Lin Feng with suspicion, Paimon had no idea why this scholar from Xumi was so familiar with Mondstadt's Catherine:

——Although the principle is unclear, she and Ying are aware that there are different Catherines in different regions.

When she and Ying first arrived in Mondstadt, Catherine was a little unfamiliar with them.

But why was this guy, who didn't look like an adventurer at all, able to bring Miss Catherine out from the reception desk?
"Well, aren't you abusing your power?

For example, threatening the president of the Adventurer's Association that if you don't lend Miss Catherine to you, you will take away all their commissions."

Lin Feng: "."

No, what outrageous things has this white-haired ball seen recently?
Is it possible that this type of literary work exists even on the continent of Teyvat?

"Reincarnation as a Mechanical Maid, Forced Love by a Domineering Scholar"?
Or "Contract Marriage, the Little Runaway Wife of Emperor Rock"?
I shook my head and threw out those titles that made my sanity drop sharply just by thinking about them.

I have no intention of letting this white-haired girl use her outrageous imagination any further.

Lin Feng also took out an adventurer's manual that he hadn't used for who knows how long:

"——I never said I wasn't an adventurer.
Although I don’t go to the association to take on quests very often now, if I randomly pick up an adventurer on the street, he or she shouldn’t be unfamiliar with Miss Catherine, right? "

Paimon:? ? ?
“Huh?! Are you an adventurer too?!”

"——And his adventure level is so high, and he has completed more commissions than Ying and I?"

I immediately noticed that this Adventurer's Handbook was a limited edition only available to high-level adventurers.

Paimon had no idea why this god's follower who held a high position in the Court of the Lord would become an adventurer.

".Well, you two, although adventurers of such high levels are indeed rare, the celebration and ceremony should begin soon."

"——Questions that can be asked at any time are like mint and sweet flowers on the roadside. It is never too late to pick them.
But if you miss the reason you came here in the first place, it will be like a scared squirrel that is hard to get back."

fluorescent:?

It is indeed very simple and easy to understand, but is it true that Miss Catherine would speak like this?

I vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But thinking of the reason why she came here in the first place, Ying said goodbye to Lin Feng and Catherine first, and squeezed to the front of the crowd with Paimon:
——After all, this is a rare opportunity to observe the blessing of the God of Grass. In comparison, chatting with Miss Catherine at the moment is obviously not very important.

The power of the "God of Authority" last time had basically reached a level that she could not judge for the time being.
Facing this first opportunity to remotely contact the God of Grass,

Because of the other party's title of "God of Wisdom", she was also very curious about what kind of god this was.

Since he is one of the two gods of the same country,

Although the Grass God seems to be a little young, he should be very majestic in his demeanor, right?
Detailed information about gods in the void is very scarce, and often requires higher permissions to unlock.
He only vaguely knew that the God of Grass was also very popular in the country. Based on his understanding of gods, Ying believed that the other party might also be a hidden existence.

"——The terrain has been cleared, sufficient space has been reserved, and the barriers are in good condition.
——Everything is normal, prepare to plant the sacred tree seeds!"

Inside the barrier,

Countless construction workers looked at the two emerald green seeds that were taken out, and couldn't help but swallow nervously, looking forward to what was going to happen next:
——This is the first seed of the sacred tree that was applied for during the construction of the branch. It can be said that this is the most precious material in the entire team!

If Mondstadt were not so vast and sparsely populated, with plenty of space, and the Knights of Favonius had great trust in the Order,

Even if we just classify it as a creation of God, this thing is not easy to grow in other countries.

"."

I briefly recalled the design drawings given by Senior Kavi.
After confirming that the positions of the two seeds were exactly as planned,

According to various data that are so accurate that they cannot be more accurate,
The leader of the Miaolun faction construction team finally issued an order:

"——Location verified, preparing for activation ceremony, praying for God's blessing!"

"--yes!"

He gave a straightforward reply, and the scholars behind him placed the ritual materials and offerings in front of the two wooden statues.
After making sure that the two plants represent the branches of the Little Auspicious Grass King and the Sage's sacred tree, and that the corresponding positions are correct,
Even though their gods in Xumi would never get angry because of problems in the rituals,
But because I was able to witness this scene that is destined to go down in history,
Everyone cheered up and followed the original plan, silently reciting the two prepared prayers in their hearts.
