People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 446 Tree King: Sometimes, I feel like a brainless mushroom pig

"It's almost time. I have to go back to the church to help out. Thank you for your hospitality."

"The flower tea is really delicious, and the desserts made by Miss Nashida are also great.
Well, just consider it as a reward, I will bring more gifts next time."

In front of the door, in the spacious corridor.

Barbara looked at the three people in front of her who had similar skin colors and gave people a gentle and friendly feeling, and felt that there seemed to be a reason why they had such a good relationship.

I bowed and said goodbye to Ms. Nashida and Ms. Tashina, whose names I had finally gotten to know while eating dessert together.
After leaving the second floor, Barbara was also preparing to leave accompanied by Lin Feng.

".Huh, I didn't expect your friends to be such lovely scholars. I'm a little envious.
If Aunt Alice had seen the two of them before the Idol Project started, she would have pestered your friend to join, right? "

During the chat just now, Barbara discovered that the two of them had accumulated far more knowledge than ordinary people, confirming that Lin Feng was not joking when he said they were older than him.

She could hardly believe that there was such a special situation in the world. Recalling the natural atmosphere when she was with the two ladies, she even doubted for a moment whether they were forest elves that only existed in fairy tales.

".Alice? Then I guess even if she comes in person, the idol thing will have no chance of success. After all, they don't really like to show up in public."

"Normally, not everyone can get along so well with the two of them. Miss Barbara, your character is undoubtedly better than most people."

Even without using telepathy, Nashida and the Tree King both have an instinctive sense of good and evil, and are naturally demanding of the person they are communicating with.
Maybe it's because they both like desserts, or maybe it's because Barbara can always maintain a very pure kindness in the face of everything.

Even though there was a big age difference between them, at least the scene of communication between these three was very harmonious in Lin Feng's eyes.

"Eh? Is that so? I feel a little happy."

Barbara suddenly received a somewhat unexpected comment from Lin Feng. She blinked her light blue eyes, and after she reacted, the expression on her face became a little shy.

".Well, speaking of which, I heard that you first appeared on the street with a few other friends, and then came back alone.

Are there any special circumstances? For example, are they tired or feeling unwell?"

Barbara really liked those two young scholars who combined innocence and maturity, gentleness and wisdom, and she unconsciously wanted to help.

"Special circumstances? Feeling unwell?"

".No, there are no such problems. I just want to bring them to see where I live and arrange their accommodation in Mond for the next few days."

He smiled with some surprise to reassure Barbara. Lin Feng thought that the pastor lady in front of him still had to go to the church to help, so he said goodbye to her without wasting any more time.

"."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I'm glad I'm not sick."

Seeing Lin Feng return to the house, Barbara let out a long sigh, patted her chest with relief, and turned around to leave:

"Let's go. Everyone in the church must be waiting anxiously.

If they come to Mondstadt for a visit, it is indeed very important to arrange accommodation. I hope they will have a good trip these few days."

???

"Eh? If they were arranging accommodation, why did I find them in Mr. Lin Feng's room? They should have been back for a while."

"Is it possible that they are holding a gathering among friends? Well, this should be the only possibility, right?"

She vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong, but when she thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong. Barbara tilted her head, thinking that she must have seen too many strange things recently.

".So, you two are really going to stay here together?
Compared to a normal room, I really prefer this semi-dreamland?"

After Barbara left, the three of them returned to the room.

Lin Feng looked at the two little guys who refused to leave and sighed slightly. He was not too surprised by the result in front of him:

——His room is not as simple as it seems. As his residence in Mond, it has the same double-story structure as Huanalana.

The stability and comfort of this superimposed space is closely related to the level of its constructor. With his current abilities, the space he created by combining the art of cave heaven with the authority of dreams is definitely the favorite place for the Lannaros to live.

As for himself, he would usually choose to live in a normal room in order to make it easier for others to find him.

Turning around, looking at the Tree King who was drinking tea nearby, Lin Feng looked at his nonchalant expression and was a little confused about what this guy was thinking:
"Forget about Nashida. I personally expanded the Jingshan Palace. She has gotten used to living in this environment in Xumi."

"But do you really want to join in the fun? Technically speaking, we are still in the same room."

"Well, I don't care."

"Or, is there anything you care about?"

Putting down the teacup, he glanced over here with a smile.
Lin Feng was so upset that he found that the look in the Tree King's eyes was not much different from when he teased Nashida:

".It is normal for Nashida to like this kind of environment in her current state. After all, 'dreams' are also a manifestation of knowledge.
But if we really want to talk about the stage of growth, I am still hundreds of years behind Nashida. Is it strange that I like staying here?"

Seeing Lin Feng's reaction, the teasing look faded a little.

The tree king glanced at a little fellow who was looking out the window, tilted his head slightly, and turned his gaze away from the boy:

"I promised her that I would never leave again.
There are so many things I haven't had time to teach her. Although this kind of company is insignificant, "

The voice was so low that it even blocked Nashida's perception.
Although it has always been difficult to guess what this little guy is thinking, Lin Feng can indeed sense the particularly obvious guilt at this moment.

".Forget it, if you want to stay, then stay. I really don't care about anything.
If you have time, please help take care of that dream space, just treat it as a post-renovation."

It was rare to see the Tree King being so serious. Lin Feng also knew that she was feeling guilty about the growth environment she had left for Nashida, so she was now making some retaliatory compensation.

He shook his head and felt that having one more would not be a big problem. There would definitely be enough space anyway, and he had no plans to separate the two.

A moment later, there was a cave space hidden under the cover of the room.

"."

Originally, because of the reliable performance of the young man in front of them in all aspects, they were looking forward to coming in to see what surprises he had in decorating this world. But at this moment, looking at the minimalist "square building" in the middle of a large lawn, the Tree King and Nashida fell silent at the same time.

"Although, I heard from Nashida that you have a 'slight' problem with your architectural style and aesthetics, but I never thought it would be such a 'small problem'."

I looked at the almost completely empty surroundings, which is a decoration style that is called "minimalist" if you want to put it nicely, or "lazy dog" if you want to put it bluntly.

The Tree King sighed slightly, and completely understood how powerful the filter that little guy next to him had for her "Knight" was, and why Lin Feng didn't want to live here:
——She had seen the renovated Jingshan Palace before, and heard Nashida say that this was Lin Feng’s suggestion. She also praised this excellent design at that time.

But now it seems that the little guy at home really did not lie, and the person in front of him was most likely just responsible for the "proposal" at that time.

"."

I shook my head and found that such a "perfect" savior also had a little subtle flaw.
Although the Tree King, who had a high pursuit of art, was speechless, for some reason, he felt inexplicably comforted in his heart.

"Well, it's not like I haven't researched architecture and landscape materials before. I just think it's 'good enough'.

When I provided Nashida with the initial plan for the reconstruction of Jingshan Palace, she praised me."

"."

Nashida tilted her head slightly to avoid the gaze of the Tree King.

". Can you please tell me, did I praise you for anything?"

Looking at Nashida's reaction, the Tree King had a subtle expression and felt that he seemed to have guessed the situation at that time.

"Well, let me think about it, it seems to be "completely breaking through the scope of knowledge recorded in the void, and is completely different from any design concept in existing textbooks."

?

".Wait, is my decorating taste really that bad?"

At that time, Xumi was in chaos and everyone was busy with various things, so they had no time to think about it carefully.

After thinking about this, Lin Feng thought about the function of the void.
Suddenly I realized that a 0% plagiarism check on a paper website does not necessarily mean that the design concept is very advanced, it may simply not meet the threshold for inclusion.

"Huh, I understand what's going on."

"For now, leave the follow-up planning here to me and Nashida. We have plenty of time these days."

".Don't worry, the reason you have this problem is very simple.
It's just because there are too many options for you and it takes too much effort to think about them, so you are stuck in a situation where you either choose none or all of them.

Well, that should be the case. "

He paused for a moment, and looked at this minimalist space that exuded the concept of "just work".
The tree king recalled the problem he had encountered at a certain stage.
Let's take a look at this situation where we can imitate any masterpiece 100%, but when designing, we either have no idea where to start or it is extremely abstract:

——There are so many things that can be done, and you don’t even have to pay attention to any common sense of "architecture" and "materials".
There are no constraints and no need to follow any framework.
The designed thing would be like a kite without a string, and its landing point would be completely uncertain.

"Well, we can't rule out the possibility that it's just a matter of aesthetics, that shouldn't be the case."

As we chatted, we approached the room that looked like a wooden box.
I am curious about the interior decoration of this only room.

The Tree King, who had been helping Lin Feng analyze the situation for a long time, pushed open the door, then paused and fell into deep silence.

".I take back what I said earlier."

"Well, how should I put it? Fortunately, it seems that the two of us finally have something that can help you."

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the mahogany eight-immortal table in the center of the room, which had a strong presence and showed its origin from Liyue.

Then I inadvertently discovered the decorations next to them, which were all patchwork in style. Each one looked great on its own, but looked out of place when put together.

The Tree King noticed that Nashida beside him was not surprised at all and even had an encouraging expression on her face. He suddenly sighed tiredly and felt that he was just a brainless mushroom pig after analyzing seriously for a long time.

Two days later, in front of the main gate of Mondstadt.

After the "decoration" of a certain dreamland was finally completed, and after such a long period of warm-up, the various activities of the Wind Flower Festival finally officially opened today.

In the center of the Mond Bridge, which was crowded with people and decorated with various ribbons and flowers,
A group of burly men who looked ferocious and wore black eye patches on their left eyes used their aura to clear out a special area in the crowded crowd where no strangers could enter.

Different from the desperadoes, the leader walking in front of the group of men was a tall and heroic woman and a scarlet-haired boy dressed in samurai ronin clothes:
——There is no doubt that this group of special strong men are naturally the Southern Cross Fleet who have been running around Inazuma for a long time and came to Mond to change their mood.

Although the eye masks have no practical use after getting off the boat, it does not prevent them from expressing their respect for the big sister by imitating her like this.

If there is any negative impact, it is probably that the temperament of a gangster is easy to be misunderstood.
"Huh, big sister, Mondstadt still feels relaxed here. Whether it's the climate or the atmosphere, it's relaxing even if you just watch.
There was a dead silence over there, the people working there were all a bunch of skin-peeling ghosts, and there were thunderstorms all over the sea.
If we wait a little longer and encounter those officials, we might just draw our weapons and fight them if we don’t see eye to eye.”

Feeling the completely different atmosphere around him, a sailor wearing a red headscarf who was walking next to Beidou exclaimed.

"Ha, isn't this just to bring everyone here to relax? Mond's good wine is famous throughout Teyvat. Hailong, you've been working hard at the helm on weekdays. Just relax and have a vacation with everyone this time."

Walking in the front, Manye, who seemed to be in a trance, followed beside him.
After Beidou answered his helmsman, he also reached out and patted the boy's shoulder:

"——What's wrong? I noticed you haven't said anything for quite some time. Did you 'hear' something again?
Don't worry, Mondstadt has been much more stable recently. Even when bandits were rampant in the past, no one dared to attack our fleet."

Knowing that Manye usually behaves like this because there is a threat in the surrounding area that needs attention, or there is an unexpected situation that cannot be resolved in a short time.

Beidou was certain that Mond would not be in any danger at the moment and reassured him in a firm tone.

".No, it's fine, maybe I saw it wrong."

"Just now I happened to see a strange passerby in front of me. His eyes gave me a very strange feeling, like a red moon."

At that moment, I felt a sense of oppression similar to the duel in front of the emperor in the past.

Wan Ye thought about the purpose of the fleet's trip and shook his head. In the end, he decided not to think too much about this issue:
——It would give me that feeling. The "passerby" just now was probably very strong, but Mond
Raise your head slightly and look forward from the perspective of the "wind".

Wan Ye looked at the clearly defined winds above Mondstadt, each of which gave him a strong sense of oppression, and was convinced that this free city-state was far from being as powerless as the outside world had rumored.
