Chapter 1: Tartaglia has been absent for a long time
After saying goodbye to Agasya, Xia Wei meets Paimon and Ying, who are chasing Teucer on the streets of Mondstadt, and they are tired and panting, apparently having been spoiled by Teucer.
finally saw Xia Wei, and saw Teucer running over to complain to Xia Wei, saying that they were boring.
Ying and Paimon didn't want to mention how bitter they were.
However, Xia Wei only smiled at this, and then took the three of them to Liyue on the Ruins Red Spider.
Looking down from the sky and seeing the scenery of Liyue, Xia Wei inexplicably remembered his hometown, which was really similar to the landscape.
Following Paimon's instructions, Xia Wei drove the ruins of the Red Spider to Liyue Harbor before stopping.
As soon as they stopped, Paimon and Ying couldn't wait to get off the plane, they didn't want to play with the bear kids again.
Xia Wei took Teucer to ask for directions, and finally found Liyue's Northland Bank.
The Northland Bank is basically a group of Fatui, so after seeing Xia Wei, they immediately informed Childe.
Tartaglia almost didn't widen her eyes when she saw Xia Wei coming with Teucer
Teucer happily threw himself into Tartaglia's arms, and Tartaglia looked at Xia Wei in surprise and spoke to him.
"How did you bring Teucer here? What if my identity is discovered? ”
"I can't help it, your brother is clamoring to come, and said that the family won't let him come, so he will come by boat quietly by himself, he said so, I can only bring him over."
Childe helped his forehead with a headache, but still forced a smile, "Why did Teucer come to find my brother, didn't my brother just leave for half a month in the winter?" ”
Teucer hugged Tartaglia's thigh, "I miss my brother, I'm really bored without my brother to play with." ”
Looking at the brotherly love between Tartaglia and Teucer, Xia Wei knew that he had done a good deed, and then left without looking back.
He believed that Tartaglia would be able to take care of his brother.
Walk out of Northland Bank and look down the stairs to see the bustling streets of Liyue Harbor.
It's a lot livelier than Mondstadt, and I even have a feeling of summer... I feel like I've returned to the ancient times of my hometown.
He wandered around for a while, then sat down at a tea stall and listened to the storyteller.
"Today's talk is about the Absolute Cloud Room... There are still many stone statues in Liyue, most of which were carved by Liyue people to pray for good weather and stable rocks, but there are also other stone statues from Liyue's more ancient past.
There is a legend that has been passed down by the fishermen of the Bishui River, the miners of Dihuazhou, and the miners of the old mines: in some corners of Liyue, ancient stone beasts will wake up in the cold autumn nights, look around at the world that is becoming stranger, listen to the frogs and insects that should echo them, and let out the vicissitudes of life from their petrified throats. They will then roam the land of Liyue, patrolling the land they once guarded.
Almost no one has ever witnessed what these stone beasts look like when they move, but the old residents who are familiar with geography and hydrology have long been accustomed to the daily movement and change of posture of stone beasts. Light sleepers camping in the middle of the night often hear a deeper harmony than the sound of running water.
A collection of legends of the many monsters circulating in Liyue, including where did these more ancient stone beasts come from? According to the legend of the old man of Qingce Village, they were once immortal beasts that fought with the Emperor of the Rock King. When the Demon God's melee is over, the tide recedes in Liyue and peace returns. Since then, the fairy beasts have lost the meaning of protecting mortals in the war of the gods, and they have lived in seclusion and lived a life without fighting with the world.
However, there are some fairy beasts who still miss the days when they followed the god of rock, and still yearn for the years when they watched Liyue. Although the immortal beast is an extraordinary living creature, it is still bound by the life limit. Therefore, they petitioned the Emperor of the Rock to turn their bodies into eternal rocks. In this way, the merciful god of the rock granted their prayers and turned them into an immortal mountain rock..."
Xia Wei was fascinated by this and wanted to applaud, but saw a handsome golden-eyed man in a slim robe sitting next to him take out a piece of paper and pencil first.
After a few strokes on the paper, he threw the paper on the table and walked away.
Xia Wei looked at the piece of paper, and it read, "The guest of the Afterlife Hall, Zhong Liliu, can send the bill and the paper to the Afterlife Hall." ”
Someone soon came to take away the paper, but Xia Wei always felt that the three words of the Afterlife Hall were somewhat familiar, and he was silent for a while before remembering that this was the Afterlife Hall with the secret method of going to the border.
Xia Wei didn't choose to stay here and listen to the play peacefully, but chased after him, but the person seemed to be walking very fast just now, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away.
In desperation, Xia Wei was about to find someone to ask how to go to the Death Hall, but at this moment, a voice stopped him.
"Is it Xia Wei?"
Xia Wei followed the prestige and found that the sound came from a shop that looked very lively, and after a closer look, he found that the person standing in the store was actually Xiangling wearing an apron
I heard that Xiangling is the head chef of Wanmin Hall, and since she is here, it means that this is Wan Min Tang.
Seeing Xia Wei still standing there in a daze, Xiangling beckoned to him again.
"Xia Wei came and sat down, I didn't even know you were coming to Liyue, if I had known, I would have prepared some new dishes to entertain you." Xiangling said enthusiastically.
At this time, another middle-aged man walked over, looked at Xia Wei and smiled with satisfaction, and pulled Xia Wei into the store.
"I heard my Xiangling say before, the young man has good cooking skills, do you want to try to be with my Xiangling..."
"Ahh Dad! What are you talking about, there are so many customers in the store, why don't you hurry up and cook? Xiangling blushed and rudely interrupted Master Mao's words, this father was thinking about something day by day, as if he was afraid that she would not be able to get married.
Xia smiled awkwardly, watching Master Mao being pushed away by Xiangling, he was a little skeptical that he shouldn't come here.
Xiangling asked Xia Wei to find a place to sit down, and then said, "Xia Wei, you wait for me for a while, and when I finish these dishes, let you taste my new dishes." ”
Xia Wei didn't want to excuse himself, so he found a random place to sit down, originally waiting boredly, but what was said at the table next to him suddenly aroused his interest.
"Are you going to see tonight's auction?"
"Don't have money to see what? You can't afford to buy an auction item even if you sell it. ”
"It's not a question of whether to buy or not, it's not that simple to buy things in this auction! It's the mask of the legendary Dharma Protector Yaksha! ”
"What?! This is also taken out to sell? ”
"Solstice merchant, I don't know where I got it, I heard that Lord Ningguang is going to come out and buy that mask in person!"
"Since Lord Ningguang has said that he wants to buy it, then don't worry, what can't you afford with Lord Ningguang's financial resources?"
