"Mondstadt is a city-state that symbolizes freedom." Paimon continued, "Although I have never been to Mondstadt, I heard that the people of Mondstadt are very welcoming."
That means it's easy to talk to, right?
Ying understood that this cheap emergency food caught was still of some use.
"Let's go."
Ying and Paimon continued along the road towards Mondstadt. At this time, a voice came from the side: "Hey! You! Stop!"
Hearing the voice, Ying and Paimon looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a fiery red rabbit-like figure leaping up from a high rock and jumping in front of them. She was carrying a longbow on her back. After landing, she stood up quickly and looked at Ying with a wary look on her face.
"I am a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius, Amber. Stranger, please stop and submit to questioning!"
Ying looked at the girl who called herself Amber. The Knights of Favonius? I heard from Paimon that they were the official force of Mondstadt.
Amber first explained her identity, then asked, "You are not citizens of Mondstadt, right? Then, please explain your identities!"
He doesn't look like someone who is easy to talk to.
Ying noticed that the opponent looked like he was ready to attack at any time. If there was anything wrong with him, he would probably attack him.
"Calm down." Paimon on the side looked at this and waved his hands quickly, "We are not suspicious people."
Amber disagreed and retorted: "Suspicious people will say that! I don't have time to argue with you. Tell me, who are you!"
Because of Paimon's words, Amber became more alert and suspicious of the identities of the two, and her tone became even colder.
Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Ying Zhang opened her mouth and replied, "Hello, my name is Ying, and I'm a traveler."
814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin
"Traveler?" Amber muttered, then turned her gaze to Paimon, "Then what is this thing?"
I am nothing!
Paimon muttered to himself, but facing Amber's cold gaze, Paimon shrank his neck. It was so scary, it looked like she was going to dissect me.
Ying answered uncertainly: "Seafood?"
Hearing this, Dong Paimeng could no longer hold back and stomped his feet in the air: "That's not right! Ying, I've explained it so many times, I'm not seafood!"
Ying turned her head away and didn't look at Paimon.
Amber took off the longbow from behind her and said, "So you can't explain her identity, right?"
"I fished her out of the sea."
"Really? Then one last question. You said you are a traveler. So which country are you from?"
"I came from outside this world."
"An alien."
Ying nodded: "Yeah."
"In other words, you can't explain your identity, right?"
Ying felt that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange.
"I didn't lie to you. I really am a traveler from outside the world." Ying pointed at Paimon, "I really fished her out of the sea."
Paimon nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. We didn't lie."
"Heh, are you treating me like a three-year-old kid? Tell me, are you a spy from Xumi or Nata? Or a spy from Dongzhidong? I'm more inclined to believe that you're from Xumi. This talking, floating spirit-like thing is actually a mechanical creation of your Xumi, right? There's a recording device hidden inside. Are you trying to sneak into our Mondstadt and use this machine to steal our intelligence?"
"what--"
Ying opened her mouth. She was a little confused by what she was saying. Was she a spy? What the hell was going on?
Paimon stomped his feet again and corrected, "I'm not a machine! I'm alive, alive!"
"Oh, you're a high-end product? Whether you're a real machine or a fake one, you can't prove your identity. And you come to our Mond at this time. You know what your plan is better than me, right?"
At this time?
Ying grasped the key point of Amber's words: "I said, did you misunderstand something? We are really just here for a trip."
"Who knows whether you are here to travel or to steal intelligence? Okay, I will assume that you are really here to travel, but Mond does not welcome strangers now. Leave here and go back to the country you came from!"
She didn't want to hear any explanation! She still thought we were spies!
And this guy won’t let himself into Mond?
Ying turned her head and looked at Paimon. Is this the enthusiasm of the Mondstadt people you mentioned? There seems to be a gap between the enthusiasm I understand and the enthusiasm you describe?
"Hey, hey, isn't that a bit too much?" Paimon couldn't stand it anymore and questioned Amber, "I heard that Mondstadt is a free city-state. How can they chase people away?"
"This is the freedom of us Mondstadt people. If you want to enter Mondstadt, please show us the official permit issued by your own country. For those who cannot even provide proof of identity, I'm sorry, please leave!"
I've already said that I'm not from this world, where's the proof?
Ying felt the deep malice of this world. She was being interrogated outside the city before she even got close to Mondstadt. Are the relations between countries in this world so tense?
Chapter 40 My name is Nilu, and I am an adventurer
Ying never expected to be turned away in the wild. Faced with the obstruction of Mond's official forces, Ying did not want to start a conflict as soon as he arrived, so he could only retreat with Paimeng obediently.
After getting away from Amber, Ying glared at Paimon and asked, "Is this the free city you mentioned? A place of hospitality?"
It's totally hard to talk to!
Paimon's two little hands were entangled with each other, and he said awkwardly: "I also heard about this. What I heard is indeed different from the reality. And I didn't say I was hospitable, did I?"
What about passion? Well, I do feel passion, passion to the point of wanting to fight if anything goes wrong.
Paimon suggested: "What should we do next? Mondstadt won't let us in, so why don't we go to another country first? Liyue is close to Mondstadt, so why don't we go to Liyue instead?"
Ying asked back, "Are you sure Liyue won't also not allow outsiders in like Mondstadt?"
"I was sure at first, but now I'm not so sure."
Ying put her hands on her hips and said, "Since I'm here, how can I just leave like this!"
"But Ying, we can't get into Mondstadt, right? Mondstadt must be heavily guarded right now. We can't get in no matter how hard we try, right?"
"There will always be a chance to sneak in, but for now, I'd better solve the problem of my stomach first."
Ying touched her belly. She had originally planned to go to a restaurant in the city to have something delicious, but she didn't expect to have to sleep outdoors. Paimeng also touched his belly.
"Paimon is hungry too."
The two planned to pick some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. The two noticed a bonfire in the distance, and there were people dancing beside the bonfire under the moonlight.
"Ying, is there someone dancing over there?"
Paimon pointed at the figure in the distance with some curiosity. It was still a little far away and the other person's specific face could not be seen clearly. The two walked towards the campfire. When they got closer, they heard the dancer humming a beautiful song. This was a young woman with long red hair tied into two ponytails, a cool belly-exposing top, and a pair of sandals on her feet, but it did not affect her dance steps at all. She danced towards the moon to the accompaniment of her own singing.
"So beautiful." Paimon couldn't help but praise, "As beautiful as a flower."
Ying also nodded in agreement.
The sound of the two approaching startled the dancing woman. She stopped dancing and shouted coldly in the direction of the sound, "Who!"
The dancer saw Paimon flying in the air, his pupils shrank, and he held a short sword in his hand and asked, "Mechanical creation? Is it Xumi's expeditionary force?"
"No! I'm alive! Don't be nervous." Paimon quickly waved his hands to explain to the dancer who was in a defensive posture, "We are just looking for some food nearby and came over when we saw someone here."
"Yeah." Ying nodded.
"no."
The dancer seemed to sense that Ying was not a Sumerian, but his guard was not completely lost. He asked again, "Are you from Mond?"
"No, my name is Ying, and I'm a traveler." Ying introduced herself and said, "I wanted to go to Mondstadt, but was stopped outside by the knights of Mondstadt, so I could only find some food in the wild."
"Is that so?" The dancer looked at Ying, as if trying to judge whether Ying was lying or not. Finally, he put down the sword in his hand and invited her, "You said you were looking for something to eat. You look hungry. I just happened to have cooked some food. If you don't mind, why don't you come and eat together?"
95
The dancer pointed to the cooking pot on the campfire. Before Ying could say anything, Paimon's eyes lit up and he asked happily, "Is it really possible?"
Ying was indeed hungry, and at the invitation of the dancer, the three of them began to eat together. They ate and chatted, and soon the dancer naturally asked for all the information about Ying.
"That means you are from the outside world, Ying, and you want to go to Mondstadt to find out about your brother?"
"Yes." Ying nodded in confirmation, "When we met the Knights of Favonius before, she refused to believe anything I said."
The dancer chuckled. "If someone suddenly said that he was from another world and wanted to enter Mondstadt during this period, no one would believe it, right?"
"During this period?" Ying remembered that Amber had mentioned this before, so she simply asked, "Did something happen in Mond?"
The dancer explained, "Half a year ago, the Grand Master of the Mondstadt Knights led most of the city's knights on an expedition. Coupled with the recent dragon disaster and the country's relative weakness, Mondstadt is now on high alert."
"I see. No wonder the scout knight had that attitude. Do you believe what I say?"
The dancer nodded: "Of course I believe it. Only people from the world can be so naive, right?"
"Eh? Tian Nai, are you talking about me?" Hearing this, Ying pointed at herself with a finger in surprise.
"In this world, even three-year-old children know not to communicate with strangers in the wild or eat strangers' food." The dancer looked into Ying's eyes and continued, "Your eyes are like they have never been stained by the darkness of this world. I believe that you are a very gentle and kind person. This kind of eyes is very beautiful."
This made Ying feel a little embarrassed, scratching her head: "No, in fact, I think I am quite despicable sometimes."
I never thought that one day I would be spoken of like this?
Looking at Ying's somewhat embarrassed expression, the dancer smiled from the bottom of his heart. Ying noticed the dancer's smile, which looked gentle and healing.
"You are actually very beautiful, too. The dance you just performed was really beautiful, like a water lotus." Since the other party said this about her, Ying also praised the other party, "And you even treated me to a meal. You are also a very gentle person."
When the dancer heard Ying praising her dance, the smile from the bottom of her heart became even brighter.
Paimon, who was stuffing food into his mouth, temporarily swallowed the food, nodded and interrupted: "Yes, you are a good person."
Those who treat themselves to a meal are all good people!
The dancer's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the word "good guy".
"By the way, I don't know your name yet."
Facing Ying's question, the dancer hesitated for a moment, then replied with a warm smile: "Nilu, my name is Nilu, and I'm an... adventurer."
Nello?
Ying remembered the name.
Although I did not enter Mondstadt today, I met a beautiful girl with a charming dance in the wild. She danced beautifully and smiled beautifully, as if she could heal people's hearts. I felt much better after communicating with her.
After eating and drinking, Ying and Paimon found a place nearby and went to sleep with their beautiful fantasies about this world. Nilu went to another place alone, where there was a figure carrying a big sword.
"I got the news. Recently, Mond's scout knight Amber has been appearing in the wild frequently."
"Humph, if they dare to come and hinder us, let these greenhouse flowers taste why our Xumi is called the Blood Mist Country!"
Chapter 41: Graduation Examination of the Blood Mist Country
When Ying and Paimeng woke up, it was already the next day. Ying had been racking her brains but still hadn't figured out how to sneak into Mondstadt. Paimeng suggested again, "Ying, since you are going to Mondstadt to find out about your brother, why don't we go to other places in Mondstadt to find out? I remember there is a small town called Qingquan Town far outside Mondstadt. You can enter the town without going into the city. Why don't we go there to find out first?"
Ying thought about it and decided that there was really no better way at the moment, so she simply went to Qingquan Town with Paimon.
On the way, Ying suddenly asked, "By the way, Paimeng, what kind of country is Xumi?"
The scout knight before suspected that he was from Xumi, and Nilu, whom I met last night, also thought that she was from Xumi at first. It sounded like they both had deep hostility towards Xumi. What kind of existence is Xumi?
"I know this. Xumi is a country ruled by the grass god, Little Auspicious Grass King Buyer. But Little Auspicious Grass King is a cruel god. He implements the law of the jungle policy of survival of the fittest in Xumi. The people of Xumi have to undergo cruel training since they are born and learn to walk. It is said that the trees in the Xumi forest are full of corpses of losers. The bloody mist rises from morning to night and will not dissipate, so Xumi is also called the country of blood mist."
Paimon said as he shook his body in fear:
"Just hearing this name is terrifying! I never want to set foot on Xumi in my lifetime!"
Could it be that gods could be so cruel?
Ying thought of the god she and her brother met when they were about to leave. It turned out that gods are not good people!
Just as Ying was about to speak, someone beside her spoke first: "Then you'd better not get involved with Xumi's people. Xumi is not only scary in this way."
Who is speaking?
The sound came from high up. Ying and Paimon looked up and saw a fiery red rabbit figure sitting on a tree, looking down at them.
