Sumeru Vimoso

The clear stream flows slowly here,

Excellent environment,

makes this the best place to recuperate in the whole of Sumeru,

Many academics who have suffered a blow in their academic careers choose to come here to relax for a while.

Of course, there are also many people who have failed elsewhere,

Choose to come to Vimo Village and live a simple and easy life.

And the aborigines of Vimozhuang don't hate this,

As the village chief of Vimoso said, "Vimoso is just a small and inconspicuous place in Sumeru, but they want everyone who comes here to feel at ease." ”

Of course

This kind of peace of mind is not something that everyone can enjoy with peace of mind.

In a log cabin,

The young man looked at the letter with the key in his hand,

His face turned pale.

"You have all quit Sumeru, why do you still refuse to let me go."

"I just want a real home, why don't you let me go."

Alfonso's hand holding the letter trembled a little,

Just because of the emblem on the letter,

It belongs to the "House of Fireplaces".

Alfonso was very sad, since [Doctor] was forced to leave Sumeru by the news that Wang Daoyi ascended to the gods,

The Fatui forces in Sumeru were either evacuated or cleared.

And he, as a shadow son,

Because of the good relationship with everyone in Vimozhuang, he miraculously escaped the purge.

And then I lived a quiet life like this until now.

The quiet and beautiful life made Alfonso forget his true identity,

He thought he could live forever as Alfonso.

As a result, when he came back from outside today, he saw the letter on his desk.

This is undoubtedly telling him,

We haven't forgotten you, we haven't given up on you, 'family', we've been watching you.

Alfonso thought about destroying the letter as if he hadn't seen it.

But he knew that the Fatui must be watching him somewhere.

Moreover, he had been involved in the capture of Lannara many times, and he had the power in the hands of the Fatui.

Of course, Alfonso didn't care about any Lanara.

His concern was that the bait for the opportunity to capture Lannaro was the children who called him his brother.

He fears that the Fatui exposing him is the one who leads the children to danger,

In that case, there is really no way for him to continue living here.

calmed his mind,

Alfonso cautiously closed the door,

He was so shocked just now that he forgot to close the door.

Open a secret room in the room that has not been opened for a long time.

Alfonso's hands trembled as he mixed the potion,

The potion is then applied to the letter with the [Fireplace House] imprint.

Soon, secret words appeared on the letter.

[To Dear Family:

Trofen Schneitzwich, our dear family,

I haven't been in touch for a long time, I don't know if you still remember your brothers and sisters in Snow Country,

The wind and snow under the cold weather blow day and night,

The banner of rebellion never fell,

Lord Servant will restart you,

The Doctor has failed, and Sumeru's mission will be taken over by the Servant-sama himself.

Please be prepared to be called at any time,

Your previous failures will be written off by Lord [Servant].

Please don't let us down, family.

——

Fireplace House. 】

【Servant】Do you want to come here in person?

Alfonso's face was ugly,

As an agent who graduated from the House of the Fireplace,

He knew too well the coldness of this [servant] lord's beautiful face.

For the 'family', the [servant] is always full of love.

But underneath that love is endless coldness and blood.

"What should I do?"

Alfonso sat weakly on the ground,

My heart is full of entanglements,

He was afraid of the servants, and he didn't want to hurt the children of Vimo.

"Where is my home?"

Alfonso's heart was full of despair.

Sitting quietly on the ground for a while,

Alfonso stood up, his eyes full of determination,

"If I don't follow the order, they will definitely expose me and then kill me, and if I follow the order, they will definitely continue to hurt everyone in Vimozhuang."

"There is always a choice to make when I raise my 'family' and the 'family' I like."

"However, I have another option, tell the Akademiya about the fireplace house."

"Then pretend to be disposed of by the Akademiya, and return to live in Vimo Village under a different identity."

"However, I am not qualified to speak to the Akademiya."

Alfonso's mind was spinning,

He was thinking about how he could get out of the muddy waters.

Finally, he finds a key figure.

"I heard that the traveler was the great hero who saved Sumeru, and she was the one who saved Lana in the first place, maybe, I can ask for her help."

Thinking of this, Alfonso no longer hesitated,

Rather than continue to be controlled by the Fatui, or live in fear, it is better to expose this matter directly.

He walked out of the secret room, left the house, and rushed to Lana's house.

On the way, the villagers of Vimozhuang saw Alfonso and greeted him warmly.

"Hey, Alfonso, where is this going?"

Alfonso didn't have any anxious look on his face, and he nodded at the villagers, "I want to find some materials, go to Lana for help." ”

"Oh, I see, Lana's kid, it's amazing to have the Vision."

Listening to the words of the villagers, Alfonso smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, it's amazing." ”

For the small place of Vimoso,

A Vision owner appears in the village,

It's really remarkable,

Don't look at the glow travel, you can meet the Vision holder wherever you go,

But in reality, the number of Vision holders is very, very small.

Every holder will receive basic benefits anywhere.

Greeting the villagers along the way,

Alfonso walked away from Lana's house, and then saw Lana packing up.

"Lana."

Lana, who was packing her things, looked up, "Hey, Alfonso, what's wrong, is there something wrong with me?" ”

Alfonso didn't say anything about himself directly, but instead pointed to Lana's salute: "What are you?" ”

"Oh, after gaining the Vision, I consulted with the Tighnari Ranger, and he said that I had too little knowledge and that it would be better to go out and see. So I'm getting ready to bow. ”

Lana didn't mean to hide it, so she just said it.

Alfonso was slightly stunned, Lana is going on a trip?

Seeing Alfonso's stunned look, Lana looked at him: "What's the matter, is there anything you want me to help with?" ”

Alfonso put the trace of envy in his heart into his heart and got down to business: "That's right, I want to ask that traveler for help with something, but I'm not familiar with her, and I want to ask you for a help." ”

"Looking for a traveler? May I ask what it is? Hearing that the other party was looking for her savior, Lana was also interested.

Put aside the salute in your hand,

Curiously looked at Alfonso.

"This," Alfonso hesitated.

Seeing Alfonso's hesitation, Lana nodded: "Oh, it's a more private thing, right, I understand, then I'll help you contact the traveler, if the other party can help, I can't guarantee you." ”

There was a hint of gratitude in his eyes,

Alfonso thanked Lana repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." ”

Lana waved her hand: "It's nothing, we're friends, Alfonso, just to help spread the word, you're so excited." ”

Lana was a little uncomfortable with Alfonso's thanks,

I remember that the other party is a calm person, why are there so many mood swings today,

It seems that there is really something important to find a traveler.

"Uh-huh, then I'll go back first, please ask the traveler to come over." Alfonso knew that he had lost his temper, adjusted his emotions, and regained his composure.

"Okay, Alfonso, you wait for my good news."

Lana nodded.

With Lana's help, Alfonso left Lana's house and went to his own house.

Before the traveler came, he had to record what he had done over the years, and since he had chosen to confess, he was ready to tell everything.

"I just hope the Akademiya can promise me not to tell Kaus about me."

Alfonso murmured inwardly.

Kaus, Youdan, and Sudabe, these three children, all of whom regard him as an older brother,

And this brother has harmed them more than once.

The more he felt the friendliness of the Vimozhuang people, the greater the torment in Alfonso's heart.

——

Three days later,

Sumeru Adventurers Association.

"Traveler, here's a message for you."

Miss Catherine still looks like she is businesslike.

Ying, who had just returned from the desert, looked curious, and didn't know who left a message for her.

On Ying's side, Paimon also had the same look: "It won't be another mission, we've just rested for a few days." ”

After completing their quest for the Eternal Oasis, they and Jeong Tak spent a few days in the desert, just returning from the desert.

Ying took the letter from Miss Catherine and looked at it.

"It's not a commission, it's Lana who asked us to go to Vimo."

Lana?

Paimon's face turned white, and he had a feeling of being in a trap.

"What's wrong with you? Paimon. Ying sensed something was wrong with Paimon.

Paimon quickly shook his head, "No, it's okay, I just thought about the previous adventure." ”

Ying thinks Paimon remembered the Lannara friends, so she was a little disappointed.

Reaching out and touching Paimon's little head, "Don't worry, their memories are gone, but the forest remembers everything, doesn't it?" ”

Paimon tugged at the corners of her mouth, she just remembered the time she had spent sleeping in the open.

"Let's go, let's go to Vimo Village, maybe Lana prepared a big meal for us."

Ying turned, ready to rush to Vimo.

Paimon thought about it for a moment and felt that what Ying said made sense, what if it was a big meal.

"Wait for me, Ying."

The little guy hurriedly chased after Ying.

——

Vimozhuang,

"I've been in the desert for a long time, and it's so comfortable to come back here." Paimon floated beside Ying, a little happily said.

Yingya nodded,

Compared to the harsh environment of the desert,

Vimo Village can be said to be a paradise.

The climate is pleasant, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the aborigines are also friendly.

The two went all the way to Lana's house,

"Lana, here we go."

Paimon shouted.

Soon, a girl with a sharp axe at her waist walked out.

"Ying, Paimon, you're here, come in, I just made something to eat." Lana people welcome guests warmly.

Several people entered the room.

Looking at the food on the table, Paimon was not polite and started directly,

Ying was a little polite, and after sitting down, she looked at Lana: "You left a message for the Adventurers' Guild to find us, is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's not me, it's Alfonso, he wants your help."

"Huh? What is it? ”

"He didn't say, let's eat first, and I'll take you to him after dinner."

"Okay."

Meal

Lana takes the fast-moving Paimon and Ying to find Alfonso.

on the road

"When Alfonso looked for me, he seemed to be in a hurry, so I didn't ask anything, but it still felt a little strange, he was a very calm person, so anxious, there must be something important."

On the way, Lana tells Ying what happened.

Ying nodded, she and Alfonso were not familiar with each other, they had only met, and the other party would ask her for help, which made her curious.

Walk to Alfonso's house,

Lana called the door, and the door opened, and a young man with a tired look walked out.

Seeing Lana and Queen Ying at the door, Alfonso's expression became excited.

"You're finally here."

Then he stretched out his hand and said, "It's not good to talk outside, please come in." ”

The three of them entered the room,

Alfonso was ready to be open and honest, and led the person directly into the secret room.

Paimon's eyes were filled with surprise: "There's a secret room here!" ”

Traveling with Ying, Paimon has seen many secret secrets,

But this kind of secret room in an ordinary person's home, Paimon is the first time he's seen it.

However, Ying is not so relaxed,

At a glance, she saw the equipment in the secret room,

The pupils shrank slightly, it was the equipment of the Fatui debt collectors,

As someone who has dealt with the Fatui a lot, Ying is naturally no stranger.

A hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes, and Ying vaguely protected Paimon and Lana behind her,

Alfonso noticed Ying's movements, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

He didn't say anything, walked over to the desk in the secret room, picked up a stack of papers, and handed it to Ying.

"What is this?" Behind Ying, Paimon asked curiously.

Ying didn't answer,

When she saw the words "Fatui" on it, she knew who Alfonso was.

Shaking his head at Paimon, "I'll take a look first, Paimon, don't peek." ”

Paimon pouted, a little unhappy and flew to the side.

And Lana walked away early,

Since it's a secret, she won't ask more.

After reading the document,

Ying looked at Alfonso's eyes with disgust: "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I don't want to go on like this, and I'd like to ask you to give these things to the upper echelons of the Akademiya in exchange for the opportunity for me to talk to them."

Alfonso's face was relieved.

Looking at Alfonso's expression, Ying suddenly remembered a person,

At the Narukami Shrine, there is also a Fatui agent similar to Alfonso.

With Ying's help, the current female agent has become a shrine maiden at the Narukami Shrine with peace of mind.

However, even so, Ying still has no good impression of Alfonso.

Alfonso's documents contain a detailed account of Alfonso's actions to lure the children into danger.

hurting children,

This is an unpardonable sin.

Put away the documents in your hand,

Ying looked at Alfonso with a serious look in her eyes.

"I see, I'll give this to the Judge of Weather."

"No, traveler, it needs to be handed over to someone of higher status." Alfonso interrupted Ying's words and said seriously, "They can re-contact me, which means that there are still many shadows in Sumeru, and it is easy to leak the news by contacting the Wind Judge." ”

Ying frowned slightly,

Ying is no stranger to the infiltration of the Fatui into other countries.

In Mondstadt, they collaborated with the Lawrence family.

In Liyue, they interfered in the selection of the Seven Stars.

In Inazuma, they lured the shrine.

It's just that I didn't expect that Sumeru, who was under the control of Nahida and Wang Daoyi, would still have Fatui people.

"I see, I'll hand it over to the acting Great Sage Alhaitham and inform the little Masculograss King."

Ying also felt that things were a little serious.

However, when it comes to Fatui spies, it seems that nothing is simple.

"Whew~" Alfonso breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Ying a little tiredly, "I'm sorry for you, Traveler." ”

Ying looked at him with a complicated expression: "Confession can't get you away, Alfonso." ”

"But it can make me feel better." There was a hint of relief in Alfonso's tired expression.

He didn't want to live like this anymore,

Moreover, he did not think that the Akademiya would kill himself,

For a very simple reason, the Akademiya must not have more information about the Fatui spies.

If you have a person who is sincere, they will take advantage of it a little.

Killing yourself directly does not do the Akademiya any good.

Children only talk about right and wrong, and adults value interests.

Looking at Alfonso's appearance, Ying didn't say anything, just nodded: "Then wait for the news, but it's best for you not to go anywhere these days." ”

Alfonso nodded, "I know." ”

Greeted Paimon and Lana,

Ying and the others left Alfonso's house.

"Ying, what's the matter?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Nothing." Ying shook her head, Paimon's sense of secrecy was too poor, and before the matter was over, Ying wasn't going to tell Paimon, "Let's go, Paimon, let's go back to Sumeru City." ”

"Huh? Are you going back so soon? ”

"Well, the sooner the better." Ying nodded, then looked at Lana, "I'm sorry, Lana, I'll play with you next time." ”

Lana waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I was going to leave for a trip, if it wasn't for Alfonso looking for me, I would have left a few days ago." ”

"Travel!!" Paimon's face was excited, "Then we're seniors, Lana has something to prepare, do you want Paimon to tell you what you need to pay attention to when traveling!" ”

Lana became interested and looked at Paimon, "Paimon taught me, what do I need to pay attention to?" ”

on the edge,

The corners of the mouth twitched slightly,

With Paimon's head, what could she know?

When Mondstadt and Liyue were in Liyue, Paimon was barely a tour guide.

After arriving at Inazuma and Sumeru, Paimon's eyes were black like her.

Watching Paimon keep telling stories about herself and her travels, Lana listened to it with relish,

Ying shook her head slightly, she just hoped that when Lana traveled, she wouldn't be wanted everywhere she went, like herself.
