Chapter 284: Spring Water Spirit
The origin of Qingquan Town is a legend.
A long, long time ago, there was a desperate mother and son at the edge of a dry well, and the child was sick and dying, and the spring spirit summoned the water from the dry well, and gathered into a spring, and the child was miraculously healed in this spring.
Later, people came to see the blessed spring, and even established settlements around it. Over time, there is now Qingquan Town.
Desperate people, blessed by the elves.
This is not unusual in Mondstadt, after all, the establishment of Mondstadt was also prayed for by the Gunnhild family, and Wendy, the Thousand Winds Elf, responded.
To use an analogy, asking for help from an elf in trouble in Mondstadt is like being blessed by an immortal in Liyue.
Each has its own characteristics.
According to what this legend says, it is supposed to be warm and healing, but why is it sad?
This has to do with the follow-up.
There is a book called "The Heart of Clear Spring", which tells the story of the bonds trapped by time.
A couple who can't love, one is waiting for the return of his lover, and the other is waiting for his lover to give up.
The moon stars are scarce, and Lin Ye and others spend the night.
Fortunately, Qingquan Town is a tourist destination, there is a hotel operation, asked the boss, and learned that there are two rooms left.
Lin Ye and Razor are in one room, and Shenhe, Noelle and Klee are in one room.
The kind of plot where men and women live in the same room does not exist, and Lin Ye is not disappointed, there are two rooms left, even if Lin Ye and Shenhe come to Qingquan Town together, they will have to sleep separately in the end.
However, Klee excitedly said that she was going to fight the pillow, and this sentence entered Lin Ye's ears.
At night, Lin Ye saw that Lei Ze was not sleepy, and wiped his big sword, the other party felt Lin Ye's gaze, thought about it and said.
"Did I bother you?"
"Nope." Lin Ye shook his head.
What bothered him was the sound of a mandarin warbler coming from next door, and Klee giggling.
The soundproofing of this hotel is also too poor.
Lin Ye was very melancholy, he was very curious whether Shenhe had joined the pillow battle, would it show a scene of Shenhe being expressionless, with a pillow in one hand, and quacking and killing?
Or did Klee rush to Shenhe with a grin, holding a pillow in her hand, and shouting on behalf of Dudok to defeat Shenhe's sister, and then Shenhe heard this, knew that Klee was playing, and wanted to play with it, so he went down the pillow and slapped Klee away, and Klee showed a confused expression?
Alas, the night is late, and people always love to fantasize.
Lin Ye got up and got out of bed, and Lei Ze glanced at it, "What's wrong?"
"Take a walk."
“……”
The boss told Lin Ye that there was still an hour left, and he was going to close the door and let Lin Ye come back early. Lin Ye agreed repeatedly.
The reason why Lin Ye walked was that on the one hand, he didn't have to endure the laughter next door, and on the other hand, he remembered that there was a person in Qingquan Town, named Hopkins, who sold holy water.
This holy water has a great origin, and the miraculous Hopkins assures that it is a legendary spring that will make people get the attention of the gods, and it can also cure all diseases, and Mondstadt's sick brother Anna has been fooled for this.
The big reason for the holy water is the packaging, which is actually ordinary spring water, which Hopkins brags about during the day, tricking unsuspecting travelers (players: uh-huh) into buying it, and pulling out bottles to replenish it at night.
For this kind of dishonest behavior, Lin Ye felt the need to teach him to be honest, definitely not that he had ever been deceived, absolutely not.
With the psychology of looking for easter eggs, Lin Ye went out to take a look to see if he could find Hopkins.
"Sir, you don't want to make the spring water holy and let everyone know about it, do you?"
Qingquan Town at night, the evening breeze is cool and the environment is quiet, otherwise Hopkins would not be able to buy goods.
Lin Ye had not yet found Hopkins, but he saw an old man, standing on top of the pond in the town, staring down at the picturesque pool by the moonlight, motionless, like a sculpture.
The old man heard footsteps behind him, turned around, and saw the woods.
As if he was impressed by the appearance of a young man in the prime of his life, he was stunned for a moment, and then sighed deeply.
"World Mission [Heart of the Spring]: The flowers bloom on the Mo, and they can slowly return. Learn about Old Vinci and the fountain elves. ”
"Reward: 20 Primogems"
"Uncle, it's so late, is there any trouble outside?" Lin Ye showed a friendly expression and asked gently.
Old Vinci listened and shook his head.
"I'm not in any trouble, I'm just looking for a dream scene?"
"Did you find that?"
"The scenery is the same, and there is no one left." Old Vinci said.
Lin Ye didn't know much about the story of the heart of Qingquan, he didn't study the party when he played the game, and the books he collected, very few of them were read, and most of the time he was imprisoned for watching the plot, or going to prison for brushing copies, and rarely looked for some easter eggs or details.
However, Lin Ye vaguely remembered that before he entered the pit, there was an event to give away a pure water elf, her name was Adora.
When it comes to pure water spirits, it's not just the [power of water to nourish everything] monster boSS near Wufu Slope.
Pure water elves have no body and are ever-changing, they come from the land of water, and the specific reason for being a stranger in a foreign land is most likely to take refuge. The pure water spirits fled to other countries, and each to his own way.
The Spring Water Elf is another pure water elf.
As for Endora, she is not a spring fairy, but she is curious about the story of the spring fairy, as if it is related to an old man named Old Vinci.
Lin Ye guessed that the old man in front of him was the old Vinci.
"Young man, out-of-towners?" Old Vinci asked.
"Hmm."
"What are you doing in Qingquan Town?"
"Tourism."
"Is it because I read the book "The Heart of Clear Springs"?"
Lin Ye shook his head.
Old Vinci smiled, under the moonlight, his old face was lonely, "I thought you watched "The Heart of Qingquan" and became curious about Qingquan Town, so you came to Qingquan Town to have a look." ”
"Young man, do you believe in the existence of spring spirits?" Old Vinci asked again.
Lin Ye didn't see any expression of persistence and longing for recognition from Old Finch's face.
Because, for Old Vinci, the existence of the spring fairy is an undoubted fact that he is willing to believe in all his life, so why put on a luxurious appearance of recognition?
Didn't you start with the same shaking heart as everyone else?
Facing Old Vinci's inquiry, Lin Ye nodded solemnly.
"I believe in the existence of spring spirits."
Although people now think that the spring fairy is a propaganda made by Qingquan Town, the purpose is to attract tourists, in the previous life, any scenic spot, there should always be a story, in order to increase the flow of visitors.
However, as the [Descender], Lin Ye knew about the existence of the spring spirit.
Lin Ye lit up the two life stars, Lin Ye, who was burdened with two wishes, his connection with the Teyvat continent became deeper and deeper, he felt something in his heart, and faintly saw a trace of golden light from Old Vinci's body, and Lin Ye opened the elemental vision again.
At this moment, in Lin Ye's eyes, he saw behind Old Vinci.
There stood a young girl.
