People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 405 "Next time you come back, accompany me to the World Tree to pick a new branch"

".It's not that difficult to go beyond the limits of the world?

this."

Even though he had guessed the possible reply from Lin Feng's reaction just now,

But Villette had never expected to hear such a seemingly obvious answer:

——As a person who is completely unfathomable, it is acceptable for the person in front of him to have a trump card.

Even if the power of this trump card is a little exaggerated, it can even surpass Teyvat itself.

However, the reason why the trump card is a trump card is that it cannot be used easily, or there are only very few opportunities to use it.
But judging from the other party's tone, it seems that eliminating enemies of this level can only be regarded as a basic operation and is a matter of course.
Even though he had never seen the whale, he didn't care about the various prerequisites and had no worry at all about not being able to do such a thing.

"."

I was silent for a moment, totally unable to imagine where such confidence came from, and what complex methods were used to achieve it.
Villette also shook his head and said with some emotion:
".The existence within the world is beyond the world. This is something that only the former King of the Nibelung can do. It is a realm that even the Perfect Dragon cannot reach.

Since you have the power to achieve all of this, then perhaps you really have the hope and opportunity to reverse all predetermined outcomes beyond "fate."

".I am not the only one who knows about the prophecy. The current "Water Goddess" Miss Funina is also very concerned about it privately.
If she knew you had such power, I'm afraid as soon as you set foot in Fontaine, she would make an exception and invite you to the top floor of Momang Palace for a chat."

".Well, generally speaking,
That is the kind of private treatment that only a noble lady with custom-made pastries can get.”

Lin Feng: "."

Thank you, this sentence can be omitted.

I mentioned the water god who was always collecting information related to the prophecy.
Although Villette never mentioned this matter, he had seen the work his boss had done over the past hundreds of years.

I don't know what kind of psychological activities this supreme judge went through.
But in Lin Feng's opinion, Funina's image as a water god who cares about the country and the people has just emerged.

The next moment, the image was completely lost because of the last brilliant sentence.

"."

".My vacation is almost over, so I'll take my leave now.
I will monitor the situation inside the Primordial Sea at all times. If the whale makes any unusual movements, I will inform Your Majesty immediately."

Arriving at the seaside, looking at the Fontaineland in the distance, which is much higher than the sea level,

Villette ignored the tortoise that seemed to have mistaken her for someone else and kept biting her.

Before leaving, he suddenly paused, with a serious look on his face that was rarely seen on other days:

"——Oh, there's one more thing I almost forgot to mention."

"Huh? What is it?"

Looking at Villette's expression, Lin Feng was a little curious as to what the important matter was.

"——Fontaine's collection of purified water is very rich. For four hundred years, I have been continuously expanding the collection and storing it in a way that best preserves the original flavor."

"——From the arrangement of the banquet, it can be seen that Your Majesty's taste for water is far superior to that of ordinary people.

So my invitation is still valid. You are always welcome to come to Fontaine to share my collection at any time in the future. "

Lin Feng: "."

It's bad. I should have known not to let Lanapas go around looking for water.
Didn't I vaguely remember that Lannaroli also had a little fellow who attached great importance to water quality, so I asked it to help?
Once this misunderstanding happened,
It's probably no different from being mistaken by Seno as someone who really likes to hear his jokes.
".Okay, I'll go."

"Later, I'll introduce you to a little guy who has a good taste in water. I think you two will have something in common."

Facing the rare serious expression of the Supreme Judge in front of me, I was really embarrassed to say that all this was just a misunderstanding.

Finally, with Villette's extremely satisfied expression,
Lin Feng, who had never been to Fontaine, had already booked a private meeting with each of the two administrators.

I waved goodbye with a tired heart.

time flies,
At dusk, on the edge of the oasis.

Under the setting sun, in the lush rainforest just a hair's breadth away from the endless yellow sand,
Wendy, dressed in a green robe, looked at the fire in front of her with shining eyes and full of anticipation:
——Although the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, for the gods, making fire is not for heating.

The reason why he was so excited was that he had just received a large amount of good wine a few days ago.

Of course it’s because of the “appetizers” on the campfire that are still in the process of being made but have already released an enticing aroma.

I swallowed my saliva quietly.
He reached out to take it, but the rice crust clone beside the fire decisively refused.
Wendy, who had been waiting for a long time, could not help but turn around and consult Zhongli beside her:

"——Old man, I see it's been roasting for quite some time, and it's still not done?"

"——I feel like the taste is already making me drool, why are you still not letting me take the rice crust?!"

"."

"Oh, you never tire of fine food, and you never tire of delicate minced meat."

"There are many details to consider when cooking. A few wrong details can ruin a good dish."

"Although I know a little bit about cooking, my old friend is still better at cooking.
Since the chef thinks it's not cooked yet, we diners just need to wait a little longer."

Unlike Wendy, Zhongli, who had just made a cup of spring tea and was sipping it, was clearly not in a hurry.
He took a look at the "meat" on the fire, which was no longer recognizable as to what kind of creature it came from.
Because he had just helped his friend process the ingredients he had brought back from hunting, he was a little surprised at the breadth of Wendy's recipes.

"Lalu~"

!!!

As soon as Zhongli finished speaking,
A voice that sounded very kind to Wendy came from the fire.

I immediately realized that it was time to eat, and before the chef Guoba could take the initiative to greet me,
A drunkard who had been waiting for a long time was also startled and grabbed some prepared skewers as quickly as possible.

!!!

"—Ouch! It's hot! It's hot!"

"——But even though it's a little hot, it tastes amazing!"

"Well, it's neither fowl nor beast,

This soft, sweet taste is very special, and seems a bit like the grilled crab I had before."

I ate a few bites of the skewers in my hand as quickly as possible, and then drank a sip of cider.

While Wendy was enjoying the food, she was also genuinely curious about how Guoba managed to catch so many crabs in the desert.

"Hmm? Don't you want to eat, old man?"

"It's not often that you can eat crabs in a place like this. In Mondstadt, crabs this big are very expensive." "Hehe, it's not appropriate to eat these heavy-tasting dishes while tasting tea, so forget it this time."

Zhongli shook his head:

"When you eat, remember to save some for little friend Lin Feng."

"After all, he brought these ingredients back with the rice crust. It is said that he put a lot of effort into hunting."

"Huh?! He actually brought it back? Then I must eat more now!"

After hearing the source of the ingredients, Wendy became more excited and showed no intention of slowing down.
Even after seeing Lin Feng gradually approaching from a distance, he even quickened his eating speed, thinking that it would be a waste if he didn't eat.

"——Hey, stop, Wendy, wait a minute! Don't eat that yet!"

"."

He turned a deaf ear to Lin Feng's words floating in the wind.
Wendy, who was in a hurry, looked at the "crab skewers" in front of her, which seemed to be much larger in size, and took a bite with great anticipation!
"."

The original excitement suddenly stopped, the movements became stiff, and the whole person seemed to turn gray in an instant.

Lin Feng and Zhong Li who came here looked at each other.
After sighing, he felt helpless about the actions of this strange creature:
".I've warned you, don't eat that yet."

".Although the species are similar, the one in your hand is the Holy Scorpion Poison Scorpion that I caught. It is different from the sand scorpion claws you ate before.
You are not like those Merlots from Fontaine, so you will probably not be used to it."

"Holy Scorpion?!!"

".Hmm, my mouth seems to be numb."

Wendy just realized what those "crabs" she was eating were.
Before he could react, he felt a shocking taste filling his taste buds again, and even his speech became a little slower.

"."

".Forget it. Anyway, things that have been processed with rice crust are definitely not poisonous. Just bear with it yourself."

"It's a pity that I have to go back tomorrow. Nashida is still waiting for me today. Otherwise, I can wait here for a few more skewers of rice crust to be baked."

Wendy made this comment while looking shocked, "What kind of ingredients are you looking for?!"

Lin Feng looked at the claws and shells in the distance that were larger than the largest crabs in his previous life.
For a moment, I felt a little regretful that I couldn't eat this special food of the desert people.

A moment later, in the center of the oasis.

After picking up some snacks that had been made and hidden by Guoba, Lin Feng also came to the place where Nashida and he had agreed to meet.

"."

The sun sets, the new moon hangs in the sky,
The crystal clear water reflected the pure moonlight, casting a layer of silver light on the surrounding vegetation.

Among the low bushes, several newly born Lanaro poked their heads out from the grass.
Because of Lin Feng's appearance, he looked at the "mother" in front of him with some curiosity.

"."

I am already too tired to complain about the "prenatal education" of Juewangshu.
But after all, the birth of these little Lannaros does have its own power.
Lin Feng squatted down and played with a few little Lannaros for a while, then went to look for Nashida who was playing hide-and-seek with him.

Looking around, I couldn't see the figure who had asked me to come over.

He shook his head slightly, knowing best where Nashida liked to stay in her spare time, and he took a step forward very naturally and stepped into the dream.

In a flash, what I saw was a verdant space that was almost the same as when I first saw it.
The fluorescence, the flower vines, and even the clear pool of water in the center of the space all remained unchanged.

He came to the table with ease.
Lin Feng first greeted Nashida, then sat on the chair and placed the snacks he brought on the table.

Look up,

Sure enough, among a series of graffiti at the top of the space, we found the fairy-tale-style sun and moon, which were closely attached to each other, as if they were hand-painted.

Knowing fully well how persistent the little fellow was in certain matters, he shook his head and officially began this unique dream dinner.

The scenes around me kept changing.
Nashida likes to enter the collective dream ocean to "pick up shells" whenever she has free time.
While chatting with Lin Feng, he happily showed Lin Feng the interesting world he had seen during this period of time.

For this "God of Grass" who prefers the power of dreams to the power of plants,

The collective dream of the Xumi people is like a sea full of unknowns.
As an experienced diver, she can always find the most beautiful shells and share them with Lin Feng who is willing to appreciate them all.

After a while,

After Lin Feng had read with great interest those dreams with unique painting styles and imaginations that could be said to break through the sky,
Nashida, whose excitement had faded a little, breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around, thinking of the scene when we first met here, I looked at the boy beside me with some nostalgia:

"——When you think about it, time seems to pass very quickly.
It seems like just a blink of an eye, and half of your original plan has been completed."

". Seven elements, saving the world, this grand ideal will also advance steadily without us noticing.
Perhaps no matter how difficult the task is, as long as it is handed over to you, the result will not disappoint you."

The trust in the words was palpable. In Lin Feng's opinion, this sentence was more like a statement than a hypothesis.

"."

After a moment of silence, he looked at the little grass god in front of him and shook his head in confusion:

“Actually, I also wish I wasn’t so omnipotent.

If I could, I would like to stay in one place for a long time without moving.

At first, I just wanted to find a place to relax and spend the day, which had nothing to do with saving the world.

But I didn't expect that along the way, I found that more and more things would be impossible for anyone to handle if I didn't do them myself.

The stronger I become, the more problems I find in Teyvat.
Lin Feng, who originally only wanted to take some people with him and run away,

Now, due to the request of the elemental dragon tribe and the almost predetermined ruler status of the world itself,
When running away, there is a high probability that he will even have to take the repaired Teyvat with him.

"."

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I might be very busy in the future, and I would have little time to spend with her on weekdays.
After Lin Feng confirmed his itinerary to return to Mondstadt,
He also sat up straight and looked Nashida in front of him from head to toe.
After a moment, with a puzzled look on his face, as if asking, "What do you want to do now?", the little guy made an unclear request:

"——Speaking of which, when I return to Xumi next time, Nashida, can you accompany me to pick a new branch from the World Tree?"

"Although taking some materials from you can be considered as the same source,

But after all, you are still young, and doing so may easily lead to some generational problems.
After comprehensive consideration, I think the best material for the gift to the previous generation of 'Buyer' is still the new branch of the World Tree."
