Chapter 13: The Sea, the Starry Sky
The tournament is held over a total of five days, with the first two days being a competition for those with a vision, and the last three days for ordinary people.
So on the third day, the audience near the venue was directly reduced by more than half, and even the shops in the rest area were only two or three.
Qing, who was caught by the strong man coming over, turned his head and looked at Beidou, who was standing not far away and was obviously not in a good mood, but still gave up communicating with him.
Keqing didn't come over because of work, and Hu Tao didn't know where he went, which made Qing even more worried.
Sighing helplessly, Qing closed the book in his hand, turned his head to look at Ning Guang, who was still correcting the documents, and said: "Yuehaiting has had a lot of work in the past two days, why don't I go back and help Lord Yuhengxing deal with the documents?" ”
When Ning Guang heard this, he didn't even raise his head, and replied indifferently: "Captain Beidou wants you to attend on behalf of Yuehaiting, why don't you go and talk to Captain Beidou?" ”
Listening to Ningguang's answer, Qing could only roll his eyes, pouted and continued to speak: "Speaking of which, if you stay here for five days, Mora will earn a lot less, right?" Can you still sit still? ”
"Oh?"
Ningguang finally reacted after hearing the keyword, tilted his head slightly, looked at Qing in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "No matter how busy a businessman is, he also needs a certain amount of time to rest in order to maintain the state of earning Mora in the future." ”
Well, there's a reason for that.
Qing leaned back in the chair a little melancholy, rested his head on the chair, raised his head to look at the sky, and then slowly closed his eyes.
He decided to talk less to Ningguang in the future, as he was prone to high blood pressure.
It didn't take long for Qing to close his eyes and recuperate, and after a few minutes, his consciousness told him that there was a person standing behind him.
Slowly opening his eyes, the familiar close-fitting knight's suit, as well as the face and ice-blue hair that were hidden by the magnificence from this perspective, became more and more sassy against the background of the sun.
Hurriedly sat up, Qing with his back to Eula couldn't help but swallow his saliva, turned his head a little embarrassed and asked, "Finished discussing with your teammates?" ”
Eula glanced in the direction of the venue, turned around and sat down on Kiyo's left side, with her left leg on her right leg, and replied casually, "If I need to guide them before every move, then they are not suitable as a knight." ”
Looking at Eula with a cold expression, Qing raised her hand and picked up the book on her lap, and asked as she flipped through it, "You're going back to Mondstadt soon, why don't you go shopping in Liyue for the past two days?" ”
"Shopping?"
Eula couldn't help but pause when she heard this, then shook her head slightly, and continued to speak: "The game is over the day after tomorrow, and we will leave early the day after tomorrow, so we can't delay the plan because of other things." ”
"Alas......"
Closing the book in his hand, Qing stood up with his chair, waved his hand at Eula, and said, "Let's go, let's go around this Lonely Cloud Pavilion." ”
Eula raised her head and looked at Qing who turned around and left after speaking, first stunned slightly, then stood up as well, followed behind Qing, pouted and said, "You let me come out, I'm going to come out?" ”
Turning his head to look at Eula who was following him, Qing couldn't help but smile, slowed down, walked side by side with Eula, and continued to speak: "My job is to accompany you, the wave knight, when you are about to leave, it is normal to do some landlord friendship, right?" ”
Eula didn't answer, but looked at the sea that was already close at hand, slowly slowed down, and raised her head to look at the distant sea and sky.
The cloudless sky seemed to have merged with the calm sea, and with the right amount of sunlight, there were sometimes ripples from the jumping fish.
Eula was a bit of a fool for a while, and when she was in Mondstadt, she would occasionally stand on the top of a hill in Cape Lookout and look at a similar view.
The only difference that appeared was that she was alone in Mondstadt, and there was another figure standing next to her.
Slowly retracting her gaze, Eula continued to walk forward with some brisk steps, and at the same time said as if muttering: "When I was a child, I always thought that the distance of the sea was the starry sky, and I was looking forward to when I could get on a small boat and see the junction between the sea and the starry sky. ”
Kiyoshi turned his head to look at Eula, who was still nostalgic in his eyes, and did not speak, at this time he was more suitable as a listener.
"Actually, I still believe it until now, after all, I haven't been to the end of the sea."
Eula suddenly smiled, raised her head to look at the sky above her, and continued to speak: "I joined the Knights of Favonius to prove that the starry sky and the sea can be connected, and I am the connecting point. ”
The starry sky and the sea, the old aristocracy and the new Mondstadt, Qing could hear the idealized world described in Eula's words.
Eula, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Qing, who had already stopped, and said with a chuckle: "I'm sorry for listening to me say so many things in the clouds, let's go back." ”
"Of course, the starry sky and the sea can be connected."
Qing turned his head to look in the direction of the sea and sky, slowly raised his right hand, and pulled Han out to protect him.
In Eula's somewhat stunned expression, he slowly stepped on the cold sword body, looked at Eula in front of him, chuckled and said, "How is it?" I'll show you the junction. ”
Eula raised her head to look at Qing at this time, glanced at the beautiful scenery of the autumn water in the distance, walked forward slowly, stood behind Qing, and then said, "Is this the legendary sword technique?" I saw it in a Liyue novel. ”
"Hold on."
Kiyoshi reached out and grabbed Eula's wrist, letting it wrap around her waist, then looked up at the sky.
"Uhhh
The cold carried the two men into the sky, and the blue of the sky filled the pupils in an instant.
Eula felt the wind all around her, and her cape, epaulettes, and hair accessories fluttered slowly with the somewhat manic wind.
Everything was passing by quickly, and when I turned my head, I could only see one point on the island of the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.
"Are you going to take me to the end of the sea?"
Eula looked behind her with some distractions, and suddenly said, "Maybe the end of the sea...... Isn't it a starry sky? ”
"Look at you."
Qing suddenly stretched out his left hand, turned sideways and hugged Eula's waist, and then threw his right hand casually in front of him.
"Boom-"
A sword qi swung out with Qing's hand knife, directly splitting the sea in front of him into two, and the sea water in the sky surged into the sky, wrapping them in the body of Han.
