Chapter 582: The Celebration Begins
Baoshang Street,
Bustling streets,
Wang Daoyi, who was leading a large group of friends, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiangling asked with some confusion.
The corners of Wang Dao's mouth twitched: "A friend is here." β
Xiangling wanted to ask, but saw a tall figure in the crowd, with two red horns on his head, approaching everyone.
"Oh, oh, it turned out to be a bucket, it looks like Ah Ren is also there." Xiangling covered her mouth and laughed, "Speaking of which, when the mission got off the ship before, these two people disappeared, but I didn't expect to have arrived in Sumeru City." β
While talking,
Arataki Itto has already walked to the side of everyone with Kuki Shinobu,
"Haha, Brother Dao, and everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Arataki Ichito greeted everyone with a big grin.
Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at him with a dun peach in one hand and a Jiuqi Ren in the other: "What are you......?" What's going on? β
Hearing Wang Daoyi's question, and the curious eyes of others,
Arataki Itto had grievances on his face,
And then explained to the crowd what had just happened,
He and Kuki Shinobu walked down the street,
When passing by the fruit stall, he saw a small mushroom head, and the other party gave him a big dun dun peach, and then Kuki Shinobu wronged him for taking the fruit and not giving him money.
After listening to Arataki Itto's words, everyone's faces were a little curious.
A small mushroom head that can only be seen by a bucket, does Sumeru really have such a magical thing?
No one who is familiar with Arataki Itto doubts that Ichito really took the fruit and didn't pay,
The people know this ghost king,
Although he likes to 'bully' children, he always plays pranks, and is imprisoned in the prison of Tianling every once in a while.
But Arataki Itto is definitely not someone who can steal.
Even Kuki Shinobu came to his senses, feeling that he might have really misunderstood the boss.
Under everyone's gaze, Wang Daoyi glanced at Arataki Ichito curiously, and then nodded slowly: "Ichito shouldn't be lying, there are indeed some creatures in Sumeru that ordinary people can't see." β
Then his eyes wandered over Arataki Itto: "It's really amazing, Ichito I am not surprised that you can see Lannaro, but you can actually let Lannaro give you a gift, that's amazing." β
Arataki Ichito has a childlike heart, and there is no doubt about this royal way,
It was normal for him to see Ranara,
But it's amazing that Lannara would take the initiative to give Arataki a gift.
You know, although Lannaro will also have a crush on some adults, it is because those adults have been attached to Lannara since they were young.
And Arataki Itto is the first time I've seen Rannara.
"Hey, Lannara, is that the name of the little mushroom head?" Arataki Itto touched his horn and asked with some curiosity,
After washing away the grievances of not paying for things, he became curious and lively again.
Arataki Itto was very curious about the little mushroom head that gave him a peach: "It gave me a peach, I have to give it something, what do you think, how about I give it a set of Seven Saints summoning cards?" β
Itto Arataki is already fantasizing about himself playing cards with Little Mushroom Head.
The other party is so small, he must be able to kill him.
Thinking of his victory in the game, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
With a glance at Arataki Ichito, Wang Daoyi knew that he must be fantasizing again,
A person with a childlike heart, fantasy is not a bad thing for us, it is funny.
"No, Lannara is the name of the race, they are Nahida. That is, the dependents of the little auspicious grass king, only those who have a childlike heart can see them, and Yidou can get its gifts, which means that Yidou is very ...... Simplicity. β
High EQ: Simple
Low EQ: naΓ―ve
Hearing Wang Daoyi's explanation, Arataki Itto nodded: "In this way, does that Daoyi brother know who Lannara who gave me the peach just now?" β
Hearing Yidou's question, Wang Daoyi shook his head: "Lannara is not my dependent, I have no right to observe them, and I don't know who gave you the gift just now." β
Then his eyes turned to Ying, who was standing with everyone: "However, Ying and Lannaro have a good relationship, you can ask Ying." β
was suddenly named, Ying was stunned for a moment,
Then he looked at Arataki Ichito and nodded slightly: "I do know a lot about Lannaro, if you want to find Lannaro, I can help you inquire later." β
"Oh, dear friend, thank you so much." Arataki Ichito shouted happily.
Ying waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's just a question." β
After solving the unjust case of Arataki Kazuto, everyone began to go shopping again.
Arataki Itto and Kuki Shinobu join the team.
On the bustling streets,
Xingqiu is worthy of being a rich man, he buys whatever he sees, and asks people to pack it and send it to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.
And everyone else bought more or less souvenirs.
Wang Daoyi felt that he had also contributed to Sumeru's tourism economy.
It's night,
After a day of playing, everyone said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective residences.
Arataki Itto and Kuki Shinobu didn't know that the Akademiya had arranged a place to stay, so they went back to the hotel they were looking for.
And Xiangling stayed by Wang Daoyi's side.
"Come back to the desert with me?" Wang Dao looked at the girl.
The girl nodded vigorously, "Yes." β
β¦β¦
Three days passed in a flash, and the day of the Akademiya's celebration came as scheduled.
Under the fluttering ribbons in the sky,
Countless people gathered outside the city of Sumeru,
There are too many people, and if you gather in the city, there is no place to put them.
On the high platform of the celebration, there were already two commentators and judges.
On one side of the judges' bench, there were four other seats, each with four envoys from Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Fontaine.
Of course, there is a host in the center of the high platform.
Originally, the celebration was for each school to elect its own representatives to compete.
But this time, Sumeru invited envoys from other countries to come over, so naturally he wouldn't be able to play the game step by step.
Not only the outstanding students of the Akademiya can participate,
Outside guests can also compete.
The change in the rules made the people of Sumeru even more excited,
In the past, the competition for the Academy Cup was already cruel, and although the current competition is softer, the variables of adding foreign guests are also exciting.
"The battle for this celebration will be judged by the acting Grand Sage His Excellency Alhaitham and the well-known Sumeru performing artist Miss Nilou, and the envoys of the four countries will be the witnesses to ensure fairness and justice."
"The battle is based on a point system, and the one with the highest points wins."
"Teamwork is allowed, but points are only counted for one person."
"In the first round of the scramble, we will release 10 swift butterflies, each of which represents a point, and the swift butterflies are allowed to compete before they are caught, and they are not allowed to snatch after they are caught."
β¦β¦
The moderator said a whole bunch of rules,
But everyone was not impatient, and they all listened carefully.
Under the high stage, in addition to the participating scholars of the Akademiya, there are many people who are ready to move.
There were foreign guests and warriors from the desert.
Showing off in a big celebration is something that many people can't refuse.
When the referee gave the order, hundreds of figures flashed out of the crowd, all of them interested in the game.
When the contestants all rushed out,
Alhaithham, who was the referee, stood up and bowed slightly in the direction of the Jingshan Palace: "Please show the picture to everyone with the Lord of the Red Sand." β
Since it's a competition, it's naturally for people to watch.
But in such a big Sumeru City, the players are running everywhere, and the average audience must not be able to see a few figures.
Then this requires the help of the gods.
As soon as Alhaithham's voice fell,
The light on the high platform gathered, and a light screen emerged, which was the scene of the players in the city.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's really worthy of the crown of the Lord of the Red Sand, so that we don't have to run around, and we can see the game here."
"yes, yes, hey, look, that's not Lord Cyno, it turns out that Lord Cyno is also participating, he seems to have found the Swift Flying Butterfly."
"Look over there, it's the Holy Relic Warriors in the desert, I heard that they are the personal guards of the Lord of the Red Sands, I didn't expect even the Holy Relic Warriors to participate."
"Hey, look at those foreign guests, I heard that they are all adventurers who have been invited by the Akademiya, and sure enough, they all have one hand, and they seem to have found the swift flying butterfly."
β¦β¦
A series of light curtains showed the scene of the game on the high stage of the celebration, so that the audience fell into a cheerful discussion.
In the palace of pure goodness,
Nahida watched Wang Daoyi wield her divine power, happily sitting on the swing and dangling,
"Originally, I wanted to ask the traveler to help record the game, but now with your projection manifestation technique, it is much more convenient than the original plan."
Wang Daoyi controlled the projection of light while talking to Nahida: "After all, it is the first celebration after you take power, so naturally it will be better." β
As he spoke, with a flick of his fingertips, a projection appeared in front of them.
The projection is the figure of Ying and Paimon.
The two who were originally scheduled to be festival staff members have now become contestants.
On the streets of Sumeru,
Paimon looked at Ying anxiously, "Ying, let's hurry up, or the butterfly will be caught." β
Paimon inquired early and became the champion of the festival, and it is possible to inherit a lot of property.
I heard others say that it was a sum of money that she couldn't spend every day eating and drinking.
Ying will become a player, and there is also the result of Paimon pushing the flames on the side.
Ying shook her head helplessly, "Does Paimon know how to find Swift Flying Butterfly?" β
When the swift flying butterflies were released just now, a large number of normal butterflies were also released as a cover.
Now the entire city of Sumeru is full of butterflies, and it is somewhat difficult to find the swift flying butterflies in it.
Paimon's face was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes rolled: "Hehe, let's go find the other players, I heard that Tighnari and Collei are also there, they are studying biology, they must be able to distinguish between swift flying butterflies and normal butterflies, when the time comes, we hehehehe......"
Ying's eyes lit up, that's right, the rules are all said, before the swift flying butterfly is caught, it can be fought for.
"Paimon, you're still a little bit of a crooked brain." Ying probably complimented Paimon, then quickened her pace, "Let's go, I remember Tighnari and Collei were going in that direction, let's hurry up." β
The two hurried in the direction of Tighnari and Collet.
On the other side,
Mondstadt Team walked down the streets, looking at butterflies everywhere, some with big heads.
"Ahhh Fischl cried out helplessly.
Fischl had rarely spoken with other missions, but now that there was only Mondstadt's team, she let it go.
By Fischl's side, Bennett still looked naΓ―ve, but his eyes skimmed over the butterflies flying on the side of the road from time to time.
Behind them, Diona took Klee,
Originally, Nicholred didn't want Klee to participate in the tournament, but Klee wanted to play, so Nicholred had no choice but to leave Klee in the care of Mondstadt's team.
After all, Klee had come with the Mondstadt Mission, and he couldn't afford to let the Holy Warrior take care of the little girl.
One hand was held by Diona, and Klee waved the other in the air,
From time to time, butterflies fly by Klee, and the little one wants to catch them.
Among the colorful butterflies, a fast-moving butterfly stirs its wings and flies among the butterflies.
Probably not noticing the little girl's outstretched hand,
"Smack~"
With a soft sound,
The butterfly crashed into Klee's little hand,
"Huh! Sister Diona, Klee got it. β
The joyful voice of the little girl rang in everyone's ears.
Everyone turned their heads to look,
The little guy has a swift butterfly in his hand.
All:......
meanwhile
Next to the light curtain of the celebration platform, a new light curtain was formed in an instant.
γLeaderboard:
1st place: Klee (Mondstadt), 1 point.
2nd place: None
3rd place: None
β¦β¦γ
"It's really funny, there are so many elite powerhouses, and the first one to catch the swift flying butterfly is a little girl."
"Sure enough, there are always surprises, which makes this game a little more interesting."
On the high platform, the judges and the envoy judges couldn't help laughing,
So many elite competitions,
Unexpectedly, the top spot was actually taken by a little girl.
And the onlookers couldn't laugh anymore,
Although everyone has a team of support, they will not have any ill will towards a little girl.
On the light screen, Klee's ignorant and cute performance made everyone just think it was a coincidence.
It's also interesting that a little girl beats everyone and becomes the number one.
Only Albedo on the judges' bench was a little crying and laughing,
As Klee's guardian, he knows too well what makes Klee powerful, and that is Klee's luck.
The four-leaf clover blessed girl is always so lucky.
On the streets of Sumeru City,
Klee looked happy and showed off the butterflies in her hands like her brothers and sisters.
Strange to say, the mechanical bionic butterfly, which was originally extremely mobile, was in Klee's hands, but it was extraordinarily calm.
Probably the game side has set it up, and once it is caught, the swift flying butterfly will lose power.
"Haha, Klee is amazing, in this case, we will have a point in our hands." Bennett said happily.
He was a group, and Klee caught it, and although the score was only given to Klee alone, the rest of the group was also honored.
Fischl nodded, no different from Bennett.
"Klee is awesome." Diona also complimented.
"Hey, hey." The little guy was praised by his brothers and sisters, and smiled a little shyly.
"However, one point is not enough, if you want to establish a gap, you have to catch more swift flying butterflies, let's come on." Bennett shouted enthusiastically.
On the other side,
Kaveh and Faruzan got together,
As a veteran of the Akademiya's School of Knowledge, and a priority graduate of the Mystic School, the two of them have collaborated with each other.
"There are too many people participating in the competition, so let's cooperate with the juniors." Faruzan said as she looked at the junior in front of her.
Kaveh didn't refuse the senior's invitation and nodded: "Yes, catch the swift flying butterfly first, and then consider the distribution of points." β
"Haha, what an obedient junior, do you remember the last mechanical work we worked together? I think we can make some mechanical bionic butterflies to attract swift butterflies. Faruzan suggested.
"Hehe, when I win the championship, I will definitely be able to attract other scholars to come, and I can also get project resources and research funds within the college." Faruzanne had already begun to fantasize.
Kaveh's eyes lit up, and he felt that this method was good, butterflies are also group concepts, if you can use mechanical bionic butterflies to attract butterflies, there is a high chance that the swift flying butterflies will also be attracted.
So, the two Akademiya elites got together and made a mess.
Not long after, among the butterflies in Sumeru City, there were a large number of mechanical bionic butterflies.
Above the sacred tree,
Cyno's face is ugly, as a gale magistrate, he is very strong, and his eyesight is naturally not bad.
Finding a special butterfly from a group of butterflies is naturally very simple.
But he missed again and again,
The reason for the miss is the mechanical butterfly in front of him,
These butterflies don't have to fly fast and fly poorly, causing Cyno to misjudge many times.
"Damn, who's making trouble!"
Cyno cursed and tossed the mechanical butterfly in his hand aside.
Originally, as he was, he didn't need to participate in this kind of performance competition at all.
But...... Who made him love to play cards?
Among the rewards for this tournament is a limited-edition Seven Saints summoning card, and Cyno happens to have some holidays, which is why he is here.
"Forget it, you can't waste time, you have to do it as soon as possible." Cyno said in secret, and then purple lightning flashed and disappeared from the branch of the sacred tree.
Near Sumeru Hospital,
Ying and Paimon finally found Tighnari and Collet,
In the open space in front of the hospital, a large number of butterflies gather here, so that a large number of people with good deeds gather here at the same time.
"Tighnari, Collet." Paimon greeted from afar.
Tighnari, who was talking to the people, turned his head and looked at the two visitors, "Yo, Ying, Paimon, why are you here?" β
Paimon rubbed his hands together and said with some embarrassment, "Hehe, we couldn't find the butterfly, so we ......"
Tighnari realized, "Oh, you want to snatch my butterflies, don't you?" β
Ying was also a little embarrassed: "Hehe." β
Tighnari smiled and shook his head, "Feel free please, I'm not interested in the game anyway." β
Paimon scratched his head in confusion, "Huh? Isn't Tighnari interested in championship rewards? So why are there parameters? β
"Master Tighnari will have an ecological science lecture in Huachengguo next month, and we want to use the popularity of the competition to promote the lecture in advance." Tighnari's side, Collei spoke.
Ying and Paimon nodded repeatedly, "Oh, I see, then we're welcome." β
Listening to their conversation, some of the onlookers turned their attention to Ying and Paimon.
