People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 389 "Twin Trees, Spiral Principle"

“——It’s started, it’s started!”

"——Ying, look!"

As the ceremony proceeded, the gods' gaze descended from the sky, and the noisy voices in the crowd gradually subsided.

Outside the force field barrier,

A breeze blew by, carrying a few green leaves, bringing the fragrance of flowers and grass.
The morning dewdrops dotted the grass leaves, like colored glass, reflecting colorful light in this sacred scene.

"Om-"

The ritual arrays, like vines interwoven together, lit up one after another, and the lines made up of grass element crystals blossomed with a touch of fresh green like the buds of plants.

Under the gazes of countless scholars and the public, two spiral grass elemental light bands intertwined and slowly descended from the sky toward two seeds that were far apart.

"."

The silent field was completely still except for the sound of the wind.

Because of a feeling of tenderness and relaxation that came from the heart, even Ying and Paimon who were present gradually calmed down.

From the movement of the plants and trees, I could vaguely sense that the gods seemed to be in a good mood.

The traveler group was facing the manifestation of divine power like in the previous times, but miraculously did not feel any pressure.
At this moment, in this ceremony, I finally experienced for the first time another style of God that is completely different from the word "majesty".

"."

".Hmm, is this the other god of Xumi, the 'Little Auspicious Grass King'?"

".Paimon seems to know why she is so popular among the people."

Recalling those comments in the void that seemed to be meaningless,

After personally experiencing the power of this god,

Paimon, who was a little confused before, now completely understood why people would describe this god as "approachable", "friendly and cute", and even "very popular with children":

——Unlike the powerful God of Rock and the God of Authority, who give people a sense of oppression just by looking at them from a distance,
The aura of this "God of Wisdom" is like the spirits of plants and trees that guide travelers in fairy tales.
Compared to strength, what people feel first is the purity and kindness without any impurities.

".Well, it's quite surprising. I thought the gods of Teyvat were all strong and majestic rulers."

"."

Looking ahead at the beautiful scene of lush vegetation and blooming flowers,

For a moment, I felt as if I had come to the fairy tale world.
Although I have never met the God of Grass, I can still intuitively feel what kind of god he is.

".But even if you want to build a house on a tree, why plant two seeds so far apart at the same time?"

"Also, it seemed that I was asking for the blessings of two gods, but now I don't seem to feel the other one."

"Om-"

Recalling the contents of the announcement, Paimon was about to express his doubts about the details of the ceremony.

But before she could get a response from Ying, she shuddered all over because of a solemn and sacred feeling.

!!!

I immediately realized that this must be the response from another god of Xumi.

Paimon looked up with doubt in his eyes.
The scene that appeared before her also perfectly answered her previous doubts:

——Just as she and Ying thought, the two grass gods of Xumi were very easy to distinguish.

At this moment, beside the grass elemental light belt that appeared at the beginning,
Another completely different vortex of grass element appeared in the sky.

The white-gold lines first formed several overlapping circles in the sky.

Afterwards, it gradually decomposed and condensed into two other spiral light bands that gave people a breath of "life".

"."

Just like the shadows cast by the One who sits high in the sky on earth,

Compared with the pure green of the former, the grass element at this moment is mixed with some noble white and gold in addition to the emerald green.

A total of four grass element light bands, two by two, form a spiral, and the whole is hanging down to the ground in a macroscopic surrounding posture.
Just when everyone present was wondering what the purpose of maintaining this form was,

At the moment when the elemental light band touched the ground, the holy tree seed, which had been unresponsive until then, finally showed the world why it was called the "holy tree".

"Rumble--"

!!!

Unprecedented tremors came from deep within the earth, and emerald green "sprouts" that were thicker than thousand-year-old trees and far beyond ordinary people's imagination sprouted simultaneously from the two seed burial sites.

Buds, branches, leaves and flowers.
Thousands of years ago, the gods' creations inherited from the tree king grew across time at an unimaginable speed.

When their size far exceeded any Mond people's imagination,
Paimon, who had been staring at the scene, clasped his hands and finally understood something:
"——Ah! I see! Those light strips are their growth trajectories!"

"——The building behind is actually built on a circular platform formed by them?!"

???

I never realized that my guide was so smart.
Although Ying was half-believing and half-doubting and had a lot of question marks on her head, she still turned her gaze to the growth process that had just begun.

"."

"Crash-"

Because of the rapid growth rate, the lush branches and leaves are shaking at a speed visible to the naked eye, making slight friction sounds when colliding.

Although their height far exceeds that of any plants in Mond, just as the travelers predicted, their growth has just begun.

As if it were part of some symbolic ritual, the old tree that had originally grown straight up gradually began to show some subtle curves.

The planting sites that seemed to have no intersection at first suddenly broke the viewer's expectations because of their unique growth trajectory.

"Wow--"

The sound of branches rubbing against each other came again.
As the growth process deepens, the two giant trees have gradually overlapped with the arc of the light band, showing a kind of beauty that is both man-made and natural in their posture.

One has vines and flowers all over it,
One has golden veins, showing its majesty.
Because of the design concept of "two gods coexisting" by a certain Miaolun School designer,

The two sacred trees spiraling upward perfectly embody the concepts of "life" and "development".

"Boom——"

The earth trembled continuously, and the giant tree that served as the branch finally stopped growing upwards after forming two layers of circular platform space.

The next moment, countless branches connected to each other on the platform, and then many green vines full of flowers spread out on them.

As the "foundation" for future buildings, their strength far exceeds that of most materials that humans can find, and will become an excellent construction space that can continue to repair itself for thousands of years to come. "."

Inside the barrier, many scholars protected by the grass-attribute spheres were stunned.

Even though they knew that Mr. Kavi's architectural concept was very advanced, they were still shocked by the final presentation.

He shook his head and put his praise for the gods back in his heart.

After all, this space formed by the branches of the two sacred trees only provided a foundation for their future construction.

If you want to create a work that can truly be called "great",

The subsequent construction work will have to be carried out personally by construction workers who are very experienced in "building on trees".

The ceremony is over.
The final result is two towering trees that can be seen in Mondstadt.

Because of Mond's geographical environment, the people of Mond were shocked as they could never imagine that plants could grow like this.

At this moment, compared to these two giant trees that can be said to block out the sun and the sky,

The "big trees" they originally knew,
Judging from the proportion, it is probably not much different from weeds.

Even some Mond residents who had traveled to Xumi could never imagine that the "buildings" of these scholars of the Academy of Decrees were built on such a basis.

On the other hand, Ying and Paimeng, who knew everything beforehand, severely overturned the image of the "tree house" in their minds.

"."

".I didn't expect that this was the reason for planting two seeds at the same time.

Is this why scholars call those seeds "God's creations"? "

".I thought building a house on a tree meant living in a tree hole."

Looking from afar, I saw two giant trees in front of me, which had distinct characteristics but were overlapping with each other.

Even Paimon, after recalling the ceremony just now, realized that the two gods of Xumi probably really had a good relationship.

“.There is a gap in strength, but is the relationship between them harmonious?
This situation is not very common even in other worlds I have visited, Xumi is really a lucky country."

Compared to the white-haired ball next to him who lacks imagination, Ying's focus is obviously on other aspects:

——Based on her and her brother's previous experience traveling in the starry sea, all countries involving "joint governance"

Even though things seemed harmonious on the surface, in most cases the relationship between the two rulers was not a great one.

And if there is a clear power gap between the two sides, the final result will most likely be a complete collapse of the balance.

But what was particularly special was that since she started traveling in Teyvat, she found that her past experience seemed to be no longer applicable.
Whether it is Liyue, Mondstadt, or Xumi, the high-level combat forces of each country seem to have an extremely harmonious relationship.
Not to mention competing for dominance, she even had the illusion that she had no desire for power and was eager to give it to another person as soon as possible.
".Huh?! That's right!"

"——Ying, what do you think about us picking some flowers and leaves from the tree in front of us?
If you use them to make tea, maybe.”

fluorescent:? ? ?

No, after reading these things, Paimon, is this the only feeling in your mind?
Aren’t you afraid of being kicked out by scholars?

She sighed deeply in her heart, even though she already knew the nature of the guide beside her.
But every time I hear this kind of speech with a unique angle, Ying still feels tired:
".I suggest you don't do that."

". Let's not talk about whether this kind of food that has excessive concentration of elements can be eaten or tastes good.
Do you really think that you can pick up something like this that is protected by gods with your own strength?"

——If the leaves and flowers on this tree were really that easy to pick, Ying thought it would not be their turn to go over there. The sharp-eyed Mondstadt people nearby would be able to pluck almost all the leaves.

"."

"Oh, that seems to be the case."

Upon realizing that his tasting plan had failed before it even began, a certain white-haired ball immediately became depressed.

"."

"Well, let's go. We agreed before that we would give one portion of the materials we found to scholar Lin Feng.
If you're really curious about what that stuff tastes like,
Just ask him when the time comes, maybe he can help you pick some off."

I have no resistance to the sad look of my guide.
While Ying sighed, she also began to wonder if she had spoiled her too much at times.

“Is this the final result?
It seems that although Kavey has been repeatedly selected as a negative example in anti-fraud courses, he is at least very talented in architectural design. "

“Well, because the land use permission granted by the Knights of Favonius was too generous, the mentor of the Myo-ron School spent a long time just redesigning it.

After this design was proposed, the sages of the Life Theory School asked me many times to build it first because of its unique symbolic meaning.

Recalling the fierce debate between the Shenglun School and the Minglun School at that time, even Nashida had to admit that she was very satisfied with the design of this division.

".Well, however, everything at present is just the basic platform after all. The building part behind is the most thoughtful part of this design.

Select an architectural style that can perfectly blend with the environment and has a comprehensive construction difficulty.
It is hard for me to imagine that remote exploration using the void system can actually achieve this level."

Recalling the design process, Nashida had to admit that Xumi's previous use of the void system was still too inefficient.

"."

".By the way, although I will probably be going back soon, how about staying here to visit Mondstadt today?"

"After all, I borrowed 'you' for a day from the head of the Serius branch in Mondstadt. It would be a bit of a waste to return you now."

Recalling that apart from the groundbreaking ceremony of the Ordinance House, there was basically nothing else going on today.

Lin Feng thought that since he had nothing to do, he planned to take Nashida for a walk.

".Visit?"

".Well, that's fine.

Mondstadt is the country with the highest proportion of adventurers in Teyvat, and even has a huge gap with other countries.

After all, the gap is too obvious, so I am indeed somewhat interested in the status of the adventurers here."

Long, long ago, in the time when people were still living in dreams,
Because after children's dreams, the most interesting dreams are those of adventurers.

From that time on, Nashida became very curious about the daily life of adventurers.

"."

"——Ms. Catherine! Researcher Lin Feng, we are back!"

"——Excuse me, can I hand in the quest I received a while ago here?"

???

Just as Nashida was thinking about where to find some adventurers to observe,

Two energetic words came from the side.
Because this kind of coincidence was too much of a coincidence, she blinked in confusion for a moment.
