People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 452 Nashida: I am glad that we don’t have to go through a long separation
On the south side of Qingquan Town, next to the pond and waterfall.

The waterfall flowing down from the high mountains falls onto the rocky platform in the mountains with white spray, making a sound of flowing water that is not noisy.

As the spring breeze blows, the pure water from the melted snow on the Longji Snow Mountain gradually loses its icy coldness under the warmth of the coastal scenery.
The ice and snow from far away human habitation came into the human world and turned into streams that nourished all things, just like the humans and elves who were separated before and finally gathered together again.

"."

Lin Feng tacitly moved away from the long-parted couple and came to a place far enough away despite Barbara's constant gaze.

He stood still, glanced at Barbara who was blinking beside him and whose face was almost full of the words "I'm curious", shook his head and said:
"I know Miss Barbara, you must have many questions in your mind, including the truth about the spring spirit, what Miss Kalilu looks like, and why we were able to find and bring back the right target so quickly."

“But it’s not that complicated.”

"If you have read the fairy tales on Xumi, you might know that there is a kind of life called 'Lanna' in this world. They are the helpers I mentioned earlier."

???

"Eh? Lanaro?"

"Although I seem to have heard Sister Lisa mention it, but do the elves in fairy tales really exist?"

I never thought that this would be the answer.
Barbara recalled the Sumeru fairy tale she had heard from Lisa before, and suddenly understood why Lisa, who was not interested in children's books, would tell her such a thing.

"Of course they exist, but it's hard for people other than children to see them."

"As for Lisa, she must be one of those who is curious about the legend, so it's not surprising that she has done some research."

Lin Feng did not forget the prop that Lisa made in the game to see "imaginary friends". He thought that thing could most likely also see Lanaro, who only children could see.

"To put it simply, if you regard Miss Kalilu just now as an elemental spirit born from the water element, then Lanaro is a similar existence born from plants and trees."

"I learned from Mr. Finch's description that Miss Carlylu was in Qingquan Town to recuperate. Considering her condition, I am sure she can't go too far, and she probably doesn't want to go too far.

So with the help of these friends following the water veins, it won’t be too difficult to find it.”

"."

"Well, it still feels amazing. After all, the person Grandpa Finch wanted to find was found just after he finished speaking."

"Being able to contact these mysterious elves, could it be that Mr. Lin Feng, your identity is actually..."

"Yes, it is somewhat similar to the rumors outside. I am actually..."

"——Ah! It's true! I knew you were a follower of God like Lady Vanessa!"

Lin Feng:.
Even at this point, is this the only thing we can guess?

Is it really useful to make your identity layered like an onion?

".Well, if I must say, I can't be wrong. I have indeed received power from God."

After a pause, he realized that for Barbara, who had been reading scriptures in the church for many years, gods had become a symbolic existence different from humans, and even the gods' followers had become legends.

Lin Feng looked at the lady in front of him who had already guessed the identity of the priest as much as possible, and finally decided not to break her beautiful fantasy about gods, especially the God of Wind.
"Speaking of which, where did Miss Nashida go? We were together just now, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"She was called away by another person to chat. It seemed that he wanted to teach her something, but I'm not sure what they were talking about."

Without peeking at what was happening over there, Lin Feng answered Barbara's questions truthfully.

"It still feels incredible. The gods' followers seem to exist only in legends. I never thought I would actually have the chance to see them."

"Because the gods' followers in the records are all heroes?"

"That's probably just because no one has recorded this aspect of their lives. Our living conditions are not much different from those of ordinary people."

"Besides, even gods can get drunk and lie down with drunks on the street, or even have parts of their brains not working well. From a human perspective, they look like idiots."

"."

"Mr. Lin Feng, please don't joke around. What god would lie on the side of the road drunk? Isn't this exactly like those guys who caused trouble for the Knights?"

"And how could a god be an idiot? That's impossible no matter how you think about it!"

Feeling that Lin Feng beside her was teasing her, Barbara puffed up her cheeks and cast a questioning look at him.

".Well, in fact, most gods are quite reliable when they are doing their job properly. Just treat what I just said as an exception."

Realizing that Barbara beside him would never believe that the gods would be drunkards and fools, Lin Feng sighed slightly and felt that the situation in Teyvat was a bit abstract.

Before I knew it, it was evening.

After Barbara returned to the church to help, she, the Tree King, and Narcida accepted the thanks from Carlyle and Old Finch.

Although judging from the results alone, there was not much to gain from asking Lanaro to help find someone this time, except for being able to study the reproduction of people other than Fontaine and pure water elves.
But Lin Feng looked at Nashida, whose mood seemed to have improved a lot, and those green cabbages who were ignorant but very happy to watch the show, and felt that it would be better if there were more stories about lovers finally getting married.

".By the way, what on earth did you call Nashida away to discuss? Is there anything else she needs you to teach her?"

After all, she is a 500-year-old girl, and she surfs the Internet intensively every day. Although she has some childish innocence, Lin Feng never doubts the breadth of Nashida's knowledge.

"Haha, are you curious? Then how about a guess?"

The tree king, who looked identical to Nashida, tilted his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth and blinked, taking full advantage of this posture.

"Forget it then. After all, no matter where it is, such things are unpredictable."

Lin Feng was extremely familiar with this kind of conversation style of digging a trap and waiting for someone to jump into it. He had no interest in playing the needle-in-a-haystack game with this little guy.

"That's a shame."

“No, I have no regrets at all.”

We chatted while walking slowly.

After looking at the sky, he felt that it was time to meet up with the others. Lin Feng recalled the previously agreed meeting place and found that the project there seemed to be called "Catching Foxes?"
To the northwest of Qingquan Town, there is a dense forest.

The setting sun in the evening shines gently on the earth, casting a layer of soft warm light on the lakes and plants in the distance.

At the edge of the forest, I received several woven wreaths from the staff nearby.

Lin Feng looked at the fanatical young people around him, and for a moment he didn't expect that "catching the fox" actually meant catching the fox.

"."

"Paimon, if I remember correctly, trapping foxes, putting wreaths on them, and then letting them go, this should be something that young people do to pray for the blessing of "love", right?" "If it were you, wouldn't it be better to pray for some projects like Mora or food?"

"——Well, if there really is one, Paimon would definitely want to find it!"

"But the main purpose of the Wind Flower Festival is freedom and love. It's all about praying for blessings anyway, so if we just make do with it, it should be fine."

"Well, these wreaths will be easily dispersed anyway, and probably won't interfere too much with the normal lives of those unfortunate foxes."

Shaking his head, he realized that when the Tree King and Nashida just stood in the forest, small animals would automatically gather around them.

Although Lin Feng didn't think that there would be any effect if Paimon came here to pray to Mora, since this kind of thing was not difficult at all, he was still willing to play with this guy for a while.

After walking a short distance along the path into the forest, he stretched out his hand and waved into the distance, easily calling over a few foxes while Paimon gave him a look that said "You're cheating!"

I didn't rush to put on the wreath, but fed it a little bit of food.
Lin Feng looked at Hall Master Hu, who was making a commotion in the distance and seemed to be chasing something with his great strength, as well as Nashida and the Tree King, who were smiling and hanging wreaths on the small animals.

The evening breeze blows,

Closing his eyes and feeling the good expectations of the people around him, Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, thinking that it was a good idea to end this trip with such an activity.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Nashida."

"Do you like the activities in Qingquan Town?"

At night, on the way back to the residence.

Feeling the sense of lightness emanating from Nashida from the inside out, Lin Feng was surprised that she actually liked this trip to Qingquan Town so much.

"Well, there are a lot of games here, and they are very interesting. The people around us are also very lively. I have a lot of fun."

Nashida nodded, looked at the moon in the sky, and spoke more and more cheerfully:

"But what makes me happiest is that our journey has left traces. There are people here who know us. This is no longer an ordinary place where people just pass by and play."

"The Lannaros gave them their blessings. If we come again next time, we may have a chance to see them."

He paused, as if thinking of something.
In the end, she did not continue speaking, but turned to look at the Tree King who looked exactly like her and Lin Feng who still looked like a teenager:
"Phew, not bad."

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me and the Tree King?"

Lin Feng was a little confused.

"nothing."

"I just suddenly feel a little lucky."

Nashida pursed her lips, her tone showing some relief:

"Although I used to hate the long life of gods, because it would cause us to endure much more pain and separation than mortals."

"But now I have never been so grateful, grateful that we have such a long time together and do not have to face the long sadness after each other leaves each other."

The life of a god is extremely long, and it is destined that many familiar people and friends will gradually drift away, and there will be countless repetitions of acquaintance and separation.

But beyond that, it is actually a blessing if you are not the only one who has a long life.

More separations also mean longer companionship. If the companions around you can support each other for thousands of years, then perhaps even the wear and tear of the soul will no longer be a cause for fear.

"Oh, little Narcida, it's a bit heavy."

"heavy?"

Listening to the words of the Tree King beside her, she tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

"Nothing, it's just that the weight of the word 'forever' is far beyond the imagination of the short-lived species. But don't worry, at least you won't encounter this problem."

He shook his head and did not intend to respond in detail.

The Tree King looked at the young man who was also deep in thought and smiled slightly. He felt that he might still have a lot to do in the future.

The next day, Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

After having a happy game, Lin Feng once again focused his attention on something important that concerned the entire Mondstadt.

In addition, Ying and Paimeng finally waited for the project they cared about most:
——Snow mountain exploration and secret treasure hunts that can perfectly bring out the strengths of both players and completely hit the team's interests.

Because Hu Tao treated her and Paimon once when she first came, they had agreed to treat everyone to a lot of special delicacies here in the snow mountains.

I brought my friends who came to cheer me up early, and even reminded them not to eat breakfast.
Looking at the other competitors who were eating a lot to prevent lack of physical strength later, although the Adventurer Association had reminded them not to eat too much difficult to digest high-calorie food before climbing the snow mountain, Ying was not too surprised:
——After all, those who can come here are generally experienced adventurers or strong people with physiques far beyond ordinary people. For these contestants with special bodies, the rules that apply to ordinary people are not completely suitable for them.

"."

"--Here, Nashida and Tashina, this is your raspberry hot drink. Paimon thinks raspberries taste great with milk!"

Floating over from the sky, he handed the warming drink in his hand to the two little scholars in front of him.
I just asked about their names when I was in Qingquan Town. Although Paimon felt it was a bit strange, looking at their appearance, it didn't seem that strange.

"Well, it seems that you and Researcher Lin Feng both live in the residential area of ​​the Church Order Institute. You should be not far from each other, right?"

"Miss Nashida, do you know where Lin Feng went? Why didn't I see him today?"

"Him? He has some work to do temporarily. If you are lucky, you may meet him on the snowy mountain."

"Well, well, we'll treat him to a meal after we return from the competition."

Paimon had become accustomed to a guy who appeared and disappeared out of nowhere and whose whereabouts were often unknown, so he felt that it would not be surprising if he appeared anywhere.

"The game is about to start, go get ready with your partners."

"Hu Tao and the others are already preparing to do their best. Don't worry, we will also give our blessings to them."

Taking two cups of hot drinks from the white-haired ball in front of her, Nashida smiled and gave her blessings to the two contestants in advance.

"Hehe, just think of this as preparation for going to other countries later. Paimon and Ying will definitely win the championship!"

"——Thank you for your blessings. After Ying and I complete the challenge, we will treat everyone to a big meal!"

He waved to Ying who was looking for him from a distance, and then floated over from the air.

I always feel that this trip to the snowy mountains will definitely reveal some incredible treasures, and Paimon, who was full of confidence and wanted to collect all the treasure chests, also gave up his lofty words in advance.
