Chapter 235: The Rock
Wendy called Shi Lan and Sora aside, and Diluc and Jean didn't ask much.
The two of them looked at each other, and then smiled in unison.
The green leaves of the grassland where the wind rises swayed with the wind, and the wind blew the clouds, half of the sky was covered with dense clouds, and half of the sky was clear.
The sky seemed to be split in two.
"Yin and Yang heaven, it's really a rare scenery." Jean looked into the distance and suddenly said this.
The gentle wind blows on the body, and the piano in the sun is so dazzling.
Diluc was a little dazed, "yes... It's beautiful...... indeed."
"It's gone, it's time to go back." Jean beckoned to him.
Diluc looked back at the towering tree.
"Let's go."
Jean walked in the sunlight and Diluc walked in the shadows of the clouds, heading towards Mondstadt, the same direction and destination despite the different paths.
Sora asks Wendy about a series of things, including the Vision of God, the Seven Gods and the Seven Kingdoms, and even the Heavenly Principles.
Of course, the most important thing is his sister, Ying.
"About your sister, I think Shi Lan may know more than me." Wendy said, "It just so happens that Shi Lan is going back to Liyue, so why don't you go to Liyue on your next trip?" â
"Liyue? All right! Paimon rubbed his hands excitedly, "The Stone Man can be our guide!" â
Sora looked at her helplessly: "It's obvious that you're the one who is my guide, right......?"
"Hey...... I just need to be by your side......" Paimon scratched his head, very cute, "That's right! Stone Man, what is Liyue like? Can you tell us more about it? â
Shi Lan was bored and leaned on the elemental obe, took the iced raspberry drink off the obe, and took a sip.
Cool ...... Comfortable.
"Would you like a drink?" He was polite.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Paimon crossed: "Ask you something important!" â
"What's the matter?" Shi Lan yawned, "Liyue is Liyue, just like Mondstadt, but with different customs and architecture, different people...... Well...... Nope. â
Paimon felt a headache when he looked at him, "What do you mean it's gone?" Aren't you from Liyue? Isn't there anything to see? â
"Hmm......" Shi Lan pinched her chin in thought.
"Speaking of attractions, when you arrive in Liyue, you can look up and see a palace flying in the sky." Wendy sat on the root of the tree and blew the wind: "I envy that palace too......"
"A flying palace?" Paimon and Sora exclaimed in unison.
Shi Lan pursed her lips: "What's so strange about this, can't you see it every morning." â
Wendy added, "There is also a beautiful scenery among the clouds." â
Paimon had a yearning expression, "It's so meaningful to hear the name...... I'd love to see ......."
"Watch out for your feet slipping down, there's a monster with a bald tail down there." Shi Lan opened his mouth coldly.
Paimon despised him, "You guy, you're always a bad thing!" You can't even talk about a single attraction in your own hometown! â
Shi Lan disdainful: "What heavenly palace is in the clouds." That is the Heavenly Power Office and the Immortal Stronghold. Nothing unusual, really. â
"Not rare?" Paimon narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, "Hmph, I heard Diluc say that when someone first came to Mondstadt, they actually took a picture with the city walls!" I also clap my scissor hands... It's rare... (īŧžvīŧž)âĻâ
Shi Lan: â ( Ė⥠Ė; )
When did he tell you?
Diluc, you're a bad learner, aren't you?
Shi Lan coughed twice, feeling that the gazes of several people were poking his face like knives, and he had to do something to relieve the embarrassment.
He drank his drink, crouched on the ground and tapped as if he were looking for something. After moving two steps, he reached out and pulled a water slime out of the grass.
Waterslime: (°âŊ°)
Paimon: "(?âŋ?)?"
Do you still have what it takes?
He washed the bottle with a water slime, then threw it out, pinpointing a flying butterfly under the tree inside, and chopping the mouth of the bottle on the trunk.
Shi Lan ran over to take off the bottle, sealed the bottle and put it up.
"The seven kinds of crystal butterflies have been collected, take them back to the little junior sister."
"Then, I said, if you really want to come to Liyue, this is the right time." Shi Lan coughed her throat, and continued on the topic just now:
"Then come and participate in the Immortal Ceremony. Participate in the Immortal Ceremony to see the demeanor of the Rock King, this is what the insiders know best. What age is it still visiting traditional attractions. â
Wendy nodded on the side: "If you are looking for the Rock King Emperor, this time is indeed the best chance." â
Sora and Paimon glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and then nodded in unison, saying in unison:
"Go to Liyue!" "Go to Sumeru!"
Sora: "? â
Paimon: "? â
Empty incredulous: "I thought we had a tacit understanding!" â
Paimon blushed and couldn't speak, "It's all ...... It's all to blame on the stone man......"
Shi Lan: "??? â
Paimon wants to go to Sumeru because he hears that there are a lot of mushrooms there that are as tall as people, and he wants to go and have a good meal.
However, in terms of time and distance, Liyue is an excellent choice for the next stop, not to mention that there is a Liyue person by your side, so you won't be unfamiliar with life when you arrive in Sumeru.
"Shi Lan, when are you going to return to Liyue?" Empty question.
"I'll be gone in a few days."
Shi Lan was in no hurry to go back, there was still a full month to go before the Immortal Ritual Ceremony, anyway, now that the dragon plague had been eliminated, there was just time to really take a walk around Mondstadt.
Empty face was embarrassed: "Excuse me, is Liyue expensive?" â
Shi Lan thought for a while: "It only costs 50 Mora to eat a wine-brewed ball on the street." â
"It's so cheap!" Paimon's eyes lit up, but then he wondered, "You still eat wine-stuffed balls?" Aren't you a drinker? â
"He's watered! A little alcohol is negligible. â
Sora and Paimon saw each other's stunned expressions, and then whispered, "Turtle and turtle...... Even stone people can't get drunk on wine-stuffed balls, how much water does this have to be mixed with......"
"It's a country of business...... Really good at doing business... In this way, 50 Mora is understandable......"
"By the way, Traveler, how many Mora do you have?"
"Almost 50,000 ......"
"It only costs 50 ...... to eat a wine-brewed ball. The fifty thousand... You can eat a lot more..."
Paimon has lost count.
Sora asked Shi Lan again: "How much does it cost to eat a meal in an ordinary restaurant?" Isn't it a high-end restaurant like Goethe, like a deer hunter? â
This made Shi Lan ask.
Shi Lan, the restaurant of Kongwen, immediately thought of Wanmintang.
But Shi Lan doesn't have to pay for going to Wanmin Hall, and besides, he doesn't eat much, so he can pay for the meal by helping to clean or running the hall.
Therefore, he did not know much about the prices of Wanmintang.
So, he thought of a middle-aged old man who couldn't pay the bill for dinner a few years ago.
"Seventy-five thousand Mora." Shi Lan opened her mouth and came.
"Lots and lots...... How much?! Seventy thousand?? Paimon and Sora were petrified on the spot.
Empty swallowed spit: "Eat 70,000 yuan for a meal, even if you sell it, you can't afford to pay it......"
"Hey......" Paimon glared at him, rolling his eyes.
"Eat a bunch of Central Plains offal for 300 mora, buy a fish at the dock for 300, buy three for 1000 mora."
Paimon was shocked, "Uh, why is it still expensive to buy more?!" â
Shi Lan stretched out her hands, "So are you going to Liyue or not?" â
Paimon and Sora started whispering again.
"Traveler...... It's a lot of Mora just to buy fish......" Paimon snorted, "Liyue is terrifying......
Sora said helplessly, "Okay, we've decided, let's make some money in Mondstadt before going to Liyue, or we'll have to sleep on the street......"
Shi Lan was puzzled, "Isn't it the same to go to Liyue to make money?" â
"Familiarize yourself with the terrain here......"
"Alright then, I'll tell you the time of the Immortal Ritual first, it's almost a week's journey from Mondstadt to Liyue, so you should calculate the time, don't miss it."
"Okay, good." Pai nodded incredibly.
Shi Lan added: "When the time comes, remember to write in advance, I will prepare to entertain you in advance." â
"It's a deal!"
Finally finalized the next leg of the trip, and there were some expectations in my empty heart.
At this time, Wendy called Shi Lan aside.
"Wendy? Barbatos? Shi Lan tilted her head and smiled.
"It's better to call me Wendy." Wendy smiled shallowly.
"What's the matter?"
"Of course there is."
Wendy gestured to Shi Lan to calm down, and she took out a piano.
Shi Lan was puzzled: "This is?" â
"Shh~" Wendy pretended to be mysterious, "I'll give you a small gift." â
Then, his fingertips slowly swept over the strings, and a melodious melody sounded.
At the same time, a warm light slowly flowed out of Wendy's body, turning into musical notes and jumping.
The breeze blows and the leaves rattle. Several white cranes gracefully landed in the water from the air, stopping to watch.
The three of them were captivated by the melody.
Then, the gentle melody suddenly became rapid, and the notes in the air quickly contracted with the change of the melody, turning into a ball of light and merging into Shi Lan's mind.
Shi Lan's consciousness flickered.
"This is my gift to you." Wendy chuckled softly.
Feeling the influx of energy, Shi Lan only felt an indescribable lightness all over his body.
When he raised his hand, a gentle wind gathered in his hand.
Shi Lan was pleasantly surprised: "This is ...... Wind elemental force?? â
A star twinkled in the dark starry sky, illuminating one side.
The rock, showing its corner.
