Verse 66 dances

As the night fell, the cool of the stars diluted the heat of the day, and the unrestrained and freedom-loving residents of Mondstadt stepped out of their homes and enjoyed the evening in plazas and shopping streets.

Xu Yun left alone and returned alone, and when he came back, he saw Suzanne and Cruss sitting motionless and nervous, they seemed to be very unaccustomed to such a place, maybe because of the first contact with such a place, or because they were still slaves during the day, even if they changed their clothes now, they also removed the shackles.

Xu Yun believes that the former factor is more important. After all, he was also the chief priest and saint of the Extinction Sect, and it was impossible to bring in the identity of a slave too deeply.

When he returned to the dormitory, he didn't see Shuma and Kerry, and the other three girls were nowhere to be seen, it seems that they are very serious about their workouts, and it is estimated that they returned to the dormitory very late to rest like a few days ago, and it is normal for the two sides to not touch. Xu Yun left a note at the door of everyone's room, agreeing to meet tomorrow morning.

It's just that his homework on the lingua franca of the mainland is sparse, and he still flipped through the book to get the words he needed to use in just a few sentences.

This is thanks to Sasria for giving her an introductory dictionary of divine texts, and he found the lingua franca text with meaning by reading the divine texts backwards.

"Would you like another drink?" Xu Yun gently pulled away the chair and asked in a gentle and polite voice, noticing that the cup in front of the two was empty.

As he approached, he had already attracted the attention of Suzanne and Crus, who had noticeably relieved body expressions after discovering that it was him, and his tense upper body relaxed slightly.

The seats they occupied in advance were relatively close to the stage, near the stage exit and the corridor used by the staff, and the number of customers at the Night Tavern increased dramatically after night, and the waiters and drinkers in charge of the tavern often passed by, and the dancers and musicians who started to work in the evening also passed by from time to time, causing the two people guarding the empty cups to be in constant tension.

Suzanne nodded gratefully, and after freshening up and changing into Mondstadt's clothes, she looked like a symbol of beauty, and she was much more lively and confident.

As for Crus, after grooming and dressing up, not only did the whole person's spirit become high-spirited, but he also had an indescribable temperament. Look at him as if he is not in a tavern, but in a temple, and he is standing next to the icon of this temple and smiling at you.

"Are you people in Mondstadt so welcoming? I sat here and many people came up to talk to me, but I didn't understand what they were saying. I can only pretend to ignore it, will this seem too rude? Susanna's cherry eyes sparkled as she watched Xu Yun sit down, eager to share her previous experience.

Xu Yun paused, he could see that Suzanne didn't hate those who came up to talk, and was even faintly happy.

"I don't think they care about that, everyone in Mondstadt has the freedom to choose, and you ignore the fact that they have given them the answer. And I think it's quite common to have a failed conversation. Isn't it? Xu Yun smiled and pointed to the other side of the bar, where a young man was being rejected by a beautiful girl in a performance costume. Behind him, several young people with shoulders hooked up were clearly his companions, and several were grinning and laughing at the rejection of their companions, and some were disappointed.

Apparently they had set up a small bet on whether the young man would succeed or not.

"Haven't you ever had a similar experience before?" He asked rhetorically

"No, in the village, it's too late for everyone to hide from me..." Speaking of previous experiences, Susanna's mood was noticeably lowered.

"Why, you're so beautiful." Xu Yun blurted out without thinking, but then regretted a little, it is not a pleasant thing to come into contact with other people's pain.

"I'm sorry, you don't want to say anything you don't want to answer this question, it's me who is abrupt."

"It's okay, it's quite a novel experience to be able to communicate in this way in the language of God. Usually I recite the canon in the language of God or sing prayer songs. Grandpa didn't allow me to use the word of God in non-sacred everyday conversations. Suzanne playfully stuck out her tongue and stole a glance at Cuss, who was sitting next to her, who smiled helplessly.

Susanna's emotional expression seemed to be a little too active, and her courage was greater than when she saw her during the day, Xu Yun thought that the drinks that seemed to be ordered for the two of them when they left before were only fruit wines with very low alcohol content.

"It's because of the color of my hair and eyes, pure Natarians have red hair and red pupils, light brown or honey skin, and I was born this color, and my skin is also white. My mother was even considered unclean..."

"But grandpa said that this was the affection and favor of the goddess, and then he recognized me as the saint of this year."

"In fact, the position of saint in that temple has been vacant for several generations, and what a saint looks like only exists in the scriptures, but few of the villagers are literate, and even those who can only write their own names are literate.

They said that this was grandpa's protection of our mother and daughter, and no one could confirm that what grandpa said was true.

The murals in the temple that have been handed down for thousands of years have long since peeled off because of the age and changes in the environment of the old country. ”

"For this reason, there are still people who secretly say that grandpa is an old liar, they are a group of sinister, cowardly, crooked night crows who can only squat on the branches and scream, and they say so many bad things behind their backs but dare not stand up and confront them."

"But it's different here, I can feel it, they see that they like me, and they don't alienate me because of my hair color. It's a pity that I don't understand what they say, otherwise I really want to talk to them more. ”

"By the way, can you order another drink of this drink, to be honest, it's pretty good, and I'm thirsty again now." Suzanne didn't ask for anything out of the way.

Xu Yun smiled and glanced at Cruss and shook his head. This stupid girl, a little bit of alcohol made her like this, and he didn't dare to let her drink it anymore.

Summoning the waiter, Xu Yun ordered food and drinks, this time only giving Suzanne a large glass of cold sunset fruit drink, hoping that she would soon return to normal after the last glass of wine passed, he didn't want to ask for another cup for her to drink, and then go crazy.

"Let's have a bite to eat first, there will be a dance show here in the evening, which is quite famous in the neighborhood. It just so happens that I need to find someone to participate in the performance... Actor. Xu Yun explained.

As he explained, musicians were already in place on the stage, playing a leisurely and soothing tune, and a bard played the harp and began to sing the verses he had written. His voice is neutral and slightly mellow, and he can hear the faint smell of wind and frost, which is a perfect match for this travel poem.

"The high cliff that reaches to the heavenly vault is like a staircase,

Standing on it,

Reach out gently,

I can pluck the stars of the sky.

A thousand winds scatter countless seeds,

dandelion seeds,

It carries a thousand stories,

Gently falling,

Fall in the crook of your gentle arm.

The temple where the sun and the moon are entangled,

Sleep quietly..."

The poet sang with his eyes closed and emotionally focused, but did not cause much reaction from the audience.

Beep~

The whistle was forced into the poet's song, and the young and reckless boy opened his voice and shouted:

"It's Star Picking Cliff again, Brendu, I've been singing these songs, when can I change some new tricks?"

The poet who closed his eyes and sang opened his eyes and glanced at the troublesome boy before closing them again, as if he didn't care at all, and even the tone of his mouth never stopped.

Hahahaha~

His shouting and questioning were ignored, and the boy's cheeks flushed with rage, while his companion laughed unconsciously.

The angry boy was about to open his mouth to find the field, when a tall, muscular waitress wearing a white folded apron, a leather vest, and shorts stood in front of him with a tray, blocking him from the stage.

The hostess smiled gently, missing half of her front teeth between a row of not-so-white teeth.

Faced with such a smile, the boy almost cried. Even the unspoken evil words have been forgotten in the intestines.

The minstrel soon moved on to the third song, and the singer was replaced by a tall, well-proportioned lady with elegant movements.

New singers brought different tunes, and the accompanying instruments were replaced by tambourins and rattles, and a different flavor from Mondstadt permeated the tavern.

With her singing, two dancers dressed in cool dancers danced, and the summer heat further dissipated, but the atmosphere in the venue gradually warmed up.

At this point in time, most of the dancers on the night shift had already entered the backstage to prepare for the later performance, but Xu Yun did not see the expected figure. The performance on stage is indeed blood-pumping and can attract the attention of hormonal males.

Of course, even he is included, after all, there is still a big gap between watching live performances and squatting in front of the computer to watch the live broadcasts of the teachers' performances, and this sense of presence is very powerful.

But he still remembered that he had something to do, not because there was a beautiful girl sitting at the same table, Suzanne did meet his expectations of the beauty of the fantasy world in every way, but after all, he was still a little younger, and it was still Mr. Sasria who was more in line with the taste of an adult like him.

"I've got something to do and get out of here, so you guys can rest here for a while." Xu Yun pointed to the small door leading to the back of the stage, signaling that he would not go far.

Old Man Cruss nodded reservedly in agreement, but Susanna's attention was focused on the performance, and from time to time she would whisper a few words in the language of her homeland. Occasionally, Crus would respond with a sentence or two, the corners of his mouth curled with kindness and gentleness.

Xu Yun couldn't understand Susanna's whisper, and when she saw the old man nodding, she gently pushed away the seat and left without disturbing Susanna.

Walking briskly through the corridor of more than ten meters, through the inconspicuous small wooden door, Xu Yun came to the preparation room at the back of the stage.

It's more chaotic and crowded than expected, but it has its own order.

The announcer nervously called out the names of the dancers who would perform next, told them to line up at the exit at the back of the stage, and told the performers of the next show to prepare in advance.

The air was filled with alcohol, cheap powders and perfumes, as well as sweat and some unknown other smells. From time to time, there would be one or two voices of women's sharp scolding and laughter.

In front of the only formal dressing table, several dancers are huddled together to share the half-human-high vanity mirror, applying makeup to themselves.

They were lightly dressed, some of them didn't even wear shirts at all, and the number of girls here was far more than Xu Yun expected. Stage performance props, musical instruments, storage boxes, lockers, and clutter piles occupy nearly one-third of the preparation room, and the other two-thirds are occupied by the people and their personal belongings, as well as wine bottles, food, and cosmetics.

"Ah~" A girl found Xu Yun, an abrupt visitor, and let out a cute and coquettish scream, and then turned into a series of coquettish laughter.

"Whose little master is this, so at such a young age?"

The girl hadn't put on her makeup yet, a slight flush appeared on the sides of her pockmarked cheeks, and her full lips hooked up a wicked smile.

An elderly but charming lady stood up from the soft stool next to the dresser, calmly put down the book she was reading, greeted Xu Yun, and separated him from the scene in the preparation room with her body.

"Guest, this is not the place you should be. Backstage is where the girls are ready to perform, and if you're looking for the perfect silhouette in your mind, I'm going to be disappointed. If I were you, I'd be back in front of you and waiting for the next great show. ”

"Performances are only performances, and as for other things, it's better to wait until after the performances." The lady used an accent on the word other things.

Her expression didn't show too much joy and anger, and there was a faint majesty from the elders between her eyebrows, obviously she had sent away many such guests, but she could still see the helplessness and a trace of displeasure in her heart.

"This young lady, I'm not here for the reason you think, but it can be said that I am indeed looking for someone, but he does not belong to you." Xu Yun politely stroked his chest and bowed slightly, and then directly took out the invincible trump card killing weapon.

He doesn't want to do much, and it's really desirable to get free information through clever words, and it can better substitute the game experience, but he thinks that he doesn't have the ability to speak like a relentless except for clicking on the dialogue options given by the game system, and it's not the anti-sky protagonist who is shocked by the body and directly conquers the NPC with charm, so it's better to be a little simpler.

Money.

Two golden molas appeared in the palm of his hand.

The older lady raised her eyebrows slightly, her light brown eyes flew back and forth between the golden mora in Xu Yun's hand and his immature face, and after a moment, she smiled self-deprecatingly.

She used her well-maintained fair left hand to gently comb the black curls that hung down from her sideburns, her slender fingers shuttled between the hairs, with the slightly lonely and sad look on her face, the slightly crooked cheeks, the swan-like long and beautiful neck and the protruding collarbone, the indescribable charm quietly overflowed.

If she lights a slender lady's cigarette at this time and gently spits out a puff of clouds, it must be a very heartstring-touching picture, Xu Yun thought.

"Ask, what do you want to know, if I can answer it, I will tell you directly, as for earning children's pocket money, I still don't want it, I will be laughed at if I say it. Of course, the girls behind me may not mind making such a small fortune, but I'm pretty sure they don't know as much as I do. The woman calmly and calmly opened her lips, and every syllable spit out of her mouth seemed to have a rhythm, and her mellow and lazy voice had a hint of tiredness.

"Or may I ask them for you?"

"No, I don't think so. Sumeru merchant, I'm looking for a Sumeru merchant. I've heard that he's been getting drunk with you for the past few days, and that he's in a relationship with one of the dancers... Very good. I'd like to ask if she's here today, and if she does, I'll see if I can get in touch with the fat guy. ”

Xu Yun quickly said what he meant, and he didn't want the lady to think that he had other intentions. It is true that some young masters of aristocratic families will be interested in the enchanting and charming dancing girls on the stage, but that is just the pursuit of a night of pleasure.

She is obviously not this kind of person, and Xu Yun is not here to have fun.

The lady frowned slightly, and she blurted out without thinking too much, "You're talking about Lis's new boyfriend, the fat Sumeru man with a crooked beard, and he has a strange smell of spices, although it doesn't smell good, it's not annoying." ”

"But you're going to be disappointed, Liz didn't come to work today, and she didn't ask her sister to take leave on her behalf, I've marked her name in red on the hour card, and if she shows up tomorrow, she will regret the fine and the punishment that follows."

"Is that so?" Xu Yun was a little disappointed, but now is not the time to give up: "Then do you know where she lives, or where the fat man might be?" ”

The corners of the woman's mouth were slightly hooked, showing a hint of smugness.

"Lis, of course, lives in the apartment we rented, but she didn't come home yesterday and must have spent the night outside. This is the result I got when I asked her roommate, the wild girl with no shirt on. She casually tapped her finger at the girls who were putting on makeup in front of the dresser behind her.

Xu Yun suddenly felt in his heart, not wearing clothes is indeed impressive, especially when the figure is quite good. However, the backstage preparation room is small, and there are so many people, even at night, it is still so hot that people can sweat standing here, for their choice, Xu Yun thinks that this is the freedom given to everyone by Lord Fengshen, and he appreciates it very much, and encourages it very much.

"As for the fat man, if my information is accurate, he should live in the Camel and Sand Coconut Hotel, which is a hotel run by the Sumeru people, located in the Beifeng District of Shangcheng District near the edge of the Dongfeng District of Xiacheng, that land is good, and the people living around it are rich and noble, which can be regarded as stained with the light of some aristocratic lords." The lady continued to tell the information she knew.

The clues are not broken, and it saves me the trouble of going out to inquire again. This lady doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems, who would have the leisure to inquire about the residence of a Sumeru merchant?

It seems likely that she also has some concerns about this businessman.

Relieved, Xu Yun respectfully stroked his chest again and handed Jin Mora over. The lady with long, wavy black hair did not reach for it, but turned back to her previous seat, her back swaying as she walked.

Xu Yun knew that he got this news for free completely to take advantage of the young age of this body, and he kept this love in his heart, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would return it. He wasn't so arrogant that he had to fill the garlic cloves and make a show of leaving Mora alone.

The purchasing power of Jin Mora is still very sufficient, and two gold Mora is no longer a small amount in the eyes of ordinary people.

And money will never be enough for him. If it weren't for the fact that he had elemental crystals in his hand that could be exchanged for a large amount of money, he would be so poor that he would be counting the copper mora to live.

But as he had recently learned more about the Elemental Envoys, the sense of urgency in his heart had grown.

Elemental crystals are a good thing, and to make sophisticated weapons for the powerful people at the level after awakening, not only do you need crystal blocks and magic crystal blocks with extremely high purity, but you also need elemental crystals to use them as the core of elemental circuits and functional arrays, and if possible, even fill the elemental circuits with finely broken elemental crystals, and use higher-grade elemental crystals to act as the core.

The better the materials used, the higher the level of equipment produced.

This is true not only for weapons, but also for armor and shields.

There are also holy relics, the holy relics obtained by the player are spit out by the ley tree in the game setting, and the equipment left behind after the death of ancient heroes.

It is a reward given to the player by clearing the blockage of the leyline.

In Xu Yun's view, this is actually more like garbage that is not used in the leylines of the earth, a veritable relic. It's useless to keep it anyway.,It's better to use it as a reward for players who feel useful to you.,It's really waste.。

In the world of Teyvat, there are 'holy relics' that are blessed with the power of leylines or elemental powers.

One of the alchemists' equipment refining branches has two sub-branches, namely the prop alchemist and the holy alchemist.

It's just that prop alchemists are common, holy alchemists are rare, and the materials used to make the relics are too expensive, and there are really few makers who can stick to it.

Therefore, once the Holy Alchemist is released, he will be given the honorary title of Holy Alchemist.

And refining the holy relics and tailoring the holy relics set that suits you requires the use of a large number of elemental crystals.

These elemental crystals in Xu Yun's hands seem to be a lot, but if you really take them out to do something, they will be exhausted in minutes, and they will not be enough at all. He also thought about seeing if he could ask a holy alchemist to help him tailor a holy relic in the future.

Therefore, it is the least cost-effective to exchange the elements for money.

Back at the front desk, the performance on the stage had just ended, but the girls who danced with them blocked the backstage to the entrance of the stage and refused to leave the row.

The hall of the tavern was filled with whistling, shouting, cheering, whispering and conversation.

Jingle bell~

Jingle bell~

The crisp and cheerful sound of the bell echoed in the hall, it was not very loud, but it suppressed all the noise, and the restlessness that people had nowhere to release cooled down a little, and also attracted everyone's attention.

Xu Yun followed the sound and saw that a curvaceous girl with short cherry hair stood in the center of the stage, posing in a very elegant gesture, holding a tambourine and gently swaying in a circle, and the bell was coming from the rattle on the border of the tambourine.

With the beat of the bell, the girl's body shook with a unique rhythm, her slender waist swayed, and the music that sounded out of nowhere flowed into the hall.

The musicians in charge of playing the instruments stared at each other with wide eyes, and they were surprised by such a beautiful tune when no one plucked even a single string.

The exotic music soon conquered the audience, and the drinkers became more and more intoxicated with the alcohol.

The girl gently lifted her bare feet, the movements were soothing and soft, the posture was flexible and incredible, the first dance step out, the white and tender soles seemed to step on the tips of everyone's hearts, all the drinkers were hooked, holding their breath and staring no longer to make a sound, only staring at the girl's dance.
