Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

But if you two don't hide your true appearance, even without your divine status, it seems you're still a little too popular."

He was not worried that Walnut could tease these two "Gods of Wisdom". Looking at a certain little fellow beside him, he even felt that it would be good if Walnut was not teased in return.

But the gods' appearances are all outstanding. It's hard for two little grass gods not to stand out when they walk together.

"."

I've seen Walnut before, but I can clearly see the difference between this time and last time.

Nashida blinked, realizing that she had indeed overlooked this kind of thing:

"Hmm, is my appearance weird? I can only recognize the features normally."

"I didn't think it through. Maybe I need to hide my presence a little when I play next time."

I don't know why just letting Kurumi see his true appearance would cause such a big change in his behavior.

Nashida looked at herself, then at the Tree King and Lin Feng beside her, and felt that her appearance should be considered ordinary.

"Good morning, Master Hu. I didn't expect that we would meet each other by chance. What a coincidence."

"During this Wind Flower Festival, the Ordos, the Adventurers' Guild, and the Knights of Favonius will each hold a challenge event. Even non-Mondstadt residents can still receive rewards.

If you are interested, you can try to participate. I think with your intelligence and talent, you will definitely get a good ranking."

He waved his hand, greeting Zhongli Ruotuo behind Hu Tao and Xiao in the distance.

Somewhat unexpectedly, after getting close to Hu Tao, he actually restrained himself a little, and Lin Feng also started the conversation in a relatively normal way.

"Hmph, I told you that my talent is unrivaled and that participating in this challenge would be a piece of cake. But Zhongli actually brought up the last food challenge."

"——As expected, you understand me the best, little brother! I hope Zhongli can understand me as well as you do one day."

I went to participate in the competition with great enthusiasm, but was eliminated in the preliminary round.

It was clearly just a small accident, but when I occasionally cooked in the Wangsheng Hall, my guests would look at me with strange eyes.

"Come to think of it, I brought the Great Sage out to relax this time. Did you also bring them to Mondstadt for vacation, little brother?"

"Hmm, come to think of it. Could the smell on you last time be from these two people? Could it be that you've known each other for a long time?"

As I was talking, I remembered the farce that happened during dinner.

Facing Nashida's somewhat puzzled gaze, Walnut also turned his gaze to the two little ones.

".smell?"

Nashida tilted her head, not understanding what Walnut was talking about.

"Yeah! The guy smelled so good last time, even Qiqi was attracted to him! Unfortunately, I went back and tried many different ingredients, but I couldn't recreate that scent."

Thinking of the failed attempt before, I sighed slightly.

Walnut compared all the scents she knew, and finally found that none of them matched.

"Fragrant? But he shouldn't have any noticeable smell on his body."

She barely understood what Hu Tao said, but when she looked at Lin Feng beside her, Nashida had no idea that her sage had any distinctive fragrance on his body.

???

".No smell? Strange, you know something like this?"

Hu Tao looked at the little guy in front of her with a face full of question marks. He didn't expect that the other party would actually answer.

"—Huh, never mind! Could you please let me get a little closer?

I want to see if it is exactly as the little brother said last time, maybe my guess is right! "

"Eh? Come closer? It's not impossible, but..."

She always felt that Walnut in front of her was saying something strange. Nashida, who usually didn't use her mind-reading ability unless necessary, could only tilt her head and look at the other person with confusion.

After a moment, he looked at the brown-haired girl who sniffed beside him, completely confused about the situation.

Nashida, who was missing a lot of previous information, looked at the tree king who was smiling and watching from the sidelines, and felt that everything happening before her was a little confusing.

"Do you smell anything strange? I don't have any smell on me."

She sniffed it out of curiosity, but didn't smell anything special. Nashida didn't understand why Miss Walnut was so obsessed with this kind of thing.

？ ！！

"Hmm?! It's really you two? They smell so good!"

"The incense bags in Wangsheng Hall use so many ingredients, but I have never smelled anything similar before."

"——Can you tell me what kind of plants you use to make the ointment? Can you? Can you?"

Her eyes lit up, and her girlish heart, which even her profession couldn't hide, burst out.

Walnut, who had changed into casual clothes, looked at Nashida in front of him sincerely, and almost said that he was willing to do anything for the future cause of fishing for Qiqi.

"But the scent I just smelled wasn't very overpowering. I had to be so close to smell it. So why did the guy have such a distinct scent before? And even two scents at once?"

"."

After a slight silence, I couldn't help but probe into his shallow thoughts, but I only got this meaningless sentence:

Faced with this completely confusing situation, Nashida blinked in confusion and looked at Lin Feng for help.

At the same time, on the other side.

Unlike the noisy Hu Tangzhu outside the city, although most of the Mond citizens were still unable to get up at this time,

But the Knight of Favonius, who was responsible for posting notices in the square in the city, and Ying and Paimon, who had to rush to eat breakfast every day, were obviously not among them.

The theme of this Wind Flower Festival is "Guardian of the Four Winds." It was jointly prepared and completed by the Knights of Favonius, the Order of the Holy Trinity, the Adventurers' Guild, and other parties.

In addition to the experiential activity venues near Qingquan Town, there are also many projects that challenge one's own abilities."

"Wind Wings flight, alchemy potion experience. Registered adventurers can also participate in snow mountain expeditions, obtain numerous treasure chests, and explore undiscovered secrets."

"To celebrate the return of the Wolf of the North Wind and the Dragon of the East Wind, those who excel in this trial will have the opportunity to receive unique rewards of great commemorative value."

!!!

"——Wow, Ying, look, it's a treasure chest and a secret realm!!"

"—I heard from Miss Catherine that the snowy mountains of Mondstadt have never been fully explored before. If the two of us successfully sign up, we will definitely find many treasures and Mora!"

Paimon's eyes lit up when she immediately found the treasure chest collecting activity that they were both best at.

Turning to look at his companions, he suddenly noticed that Ying was hesitant for some reason when faced with her favorite treasure chest activity. The white-haired girl scratched her head in confusion.

"Ying, why don't you look so happy? Isn't this kind of activity the best for us?"

"According to what Tevarin said before, we will soon meet the God of Wind, which means that Mond's exploration is almost over."

"Before going elsewhere, it should be important to strengthen your own strength and increase your Mora reserves as much as possible, right?"

"."

"It is very important, but for some reason, I always have a bad feeling, like something bad will happen after I participate."

The blonde girl lowered her head slightly, not knowing where the premonition in her heart came from.

Although she also liked the sense of unknown and satisfaction that came from opening a treasure chest, this time she inexplicably felt that getting involved might not be a good idea.

"Hmm? What kind of accidents could happen while searching for a treasure chest? As long as we have enough food in the Dust Song Pot, even if we're incredibly unlucky and end up stranded somewhere, there's no risk at all, right?"

"—Ying, you must be overthinking it. Let's go to various places to sign up first! I have a feeling we'll get something this time that will have a crucial impact on our journey."

I don't know what my friends are worried about.

After a careful analysis, he found no unmanageable danger. Paimon circled around the blonde girl twice, intending to take his companions to sign up first.

".Something that has a crucial impact? Really?"

I found that Paimon's premonition seemed to be slightly different from my own.

Ying looked at the white-haired ball in front of her with some doubt, but after a rational analysis, she did not find any problem that they could not deal with.

One of her hobbies was collecting treasure chests, but she ultimately decided to put aside her unexplained premonition and accompany Paimon to register for the Adventurer's Guild.

Chapter 442: Many Leaves: The gods are high above, extremely majestic, and Mond's wind god is also

On the far other side of the continent of Teyvat, near the sea of ​​Inazuma.

In the midst of the thunderstorm that covered the entire country, a huge fleet was moving through it.

There are many ships in the fleet, but when they pass through thunderstorms, they seem to have foresight and can always accurately stay on a safe route.

There was a storm right beside them, but although the crew members were busy with their work, none of them looked nervous.

On the deck of the flagship, the Death Star, these burly men all looked with admiration at Big Sister Beidou and the crimson-haired boy standing at the bow.

——Although the Southern Cross Fleet has rich experience in sea navigation, and their leader is a legend who once destroyed sea mountains in her mortal body, so even if they force their way through these offshore thunderstorms, there is actually nothing to be afraid of.

But if we were to say that the reason why they could save so much effort and even have time to chat together was that Wan Ye, the navigator, had made an indelible contribution.

The thunderstorm near the coast of Inazuma symbolizes the majesty of the gods, but without anyone watching, it is not completely without gaps and blind spots. It’s just that the thunderclouds are unpredictable, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch the fleeting safety interval.

Ever since their eldest sister took in this Manye brother, although she did not understand Manye brother's mysterious words such as "the wind will tell me everything",

But judging from the results alone, their fleet seemed to have opened the eyes of heaven. They could always predict weather changes at sea long in advance, and they didn't even have to worry too much when crossing these offshore thunderstorms.

While busy with the work at hand, I looked at the warehouse full of goods.

Several sailors gathered together during a short break, recalling their experience of handing over the cargo, and a bit of dissatisfaction appeared on their faces:

"Tsk, even though Big Sister has been running around Inazuma for so many years and still has some face, isn't Inazuma's "Kanjo Bugyo" a bit too arrogant?"

"We have been here so many times, but every time we go to hand over the goods, we have to go through a lot of procedures again.

If we follow their instructions and go on this trip, even if a small caravan sells all its goods, it probably won't earn enough to cover the cost of these messed-up certificates!"

"Hey, why else would they say this Kanjo Bugyo is a skinned ghost who's in charge of making and managing money?"

"Didn't you see those foreigners on the outlying islands are being treated like they're in jail? If we didn't have the respect of the big sister, we'd probably have to listen to those bastards."

"Although the island seems to be planning to establish an international chamber of commerce recently, where merchants can band together for support, I'm not sure if it will be effective."

After the lockdown order was issued, even on outlying islands that served as reception and temporary accommodation for foreigners, the official name for these foreigners was changed to "aliens", which was quite unwelcome.

If the restriction of the scope of activities only slightly affected the business, and the reduced profits could barely sustain it, then the various regulations and high taxes promulgated by the Kanjo Bugyo became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Although the Southern Cross Fleet had some respect as the only armed fleet in Liyue, so it was not as frustrated as other merchants,

But the crew members saw how greedy the shogunate officials were.

Meanwhile, the bow.

Next to the scarlet-haired boy, a heroic woman with waist-length black hair and an eye patch stood safely in the most violent part of the storm.

She fiddled with the long sword she carried with her nonchalantly. Even if strong winds strong enough to blow the cargo boxes came from all directions, it was unable to shake the figure of this "big sister" as the crew called her.

"."

Suddenly, he paused and looked back. Although he couldn't compare to the mysterious Manye beside him, Beidou's perception was still far beyond that of ordinary people.

Amidst the strong wind, she heard the discussion of the crew on the deck behind her and shook her head in a mocking manner:

"Tsk, these flies in the Kanjo Bugyo are really annoying. When you were still in Inazuma, were they as greedy as they are now, to the point of squeezing out every last bit of profit?"

"Although Ningguang and I don't get along, even the most greedy Seven Stars are much more restrained than them. You still don't care even after such a situation. Is your 'General' just a decoration?"

Knowing the origins of his navigator best, Beidou also turned his head to look at the young man beside him.

Ever since Manye was invited to the ship, although the guys all liked this capable and humble brother, Beidou hadn't heard him talk much about the past for such a long time.

"General."

Looking down at his package containing something, Manye shook his head as if recalling some bad memories.

"Like a thunderstorm between heaven and earth, problems never materialize overnight, but no matter what, they would have restrained themselves a little in the past.

Maybe it was after those guys came that everything changed completely."

He didn't mention a specific name, but Beidou knew what he was talking about.

In fact, the only merchants on the island who will not be harassed right now are probably those from Zhidong.

"Oh, the Fatui? A bunch of weaklings who only bully the weak and fear the strong."

"Xumeru has never dared to go there, and Liyue has been almost driven away. I heard a while ago that Mondstadt's Fatui suffered another heavy loss."
