Chapter Seventy-Two: Miscellaneous Notes in the Night
Walking alone in the starry night without the gift of angels, Cyno felt a little lonely for the first time in a long time, perhaps because he heard the laughter of the people around Mondstadt, or maybe he had been away from Sumeru for a while, he actually missed Tighnari a little, and looked up at the moon, at this time, Tighnari should have rested.
Looking at Flora and Urfa not far away, welcoming customers who bought flowers, Cyno suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought many gifts to Tighnari after going out so many times, and he remembered that Tighnari seemed to like to study plants, and maybe he could bring him some plant seeds from the Mondstadt region.
"Hello, sir, could you please do me a small favor, I can pay five thousand moras in return."
After buying some dandelions, Cyno was thinking about what gift to bring for Collei when a slightly apprehensive female voice interrupted his thoughts, and Cyno turned to see a blindfolded woman standing behind him with a bag of Mora in her hand.
"Yes."
Cyno's words have always been rare, but this does not mean that he is an indifferent person, on the contrary, if you are familiar with him, you will find that because of his position as a discipline officer, he just hides the expression on his face.
"Thank you so much, that, stranger, my name is Glori, my lover is a knight of Favonius on a journey, because I have limited mobility, I hope you can help me go outside the city to pick a few dandelions, and then when I tell the dandelion my thoughts, you can help me to release it in a high place."
"I only have five thousand moraches, but if you can help me, I will have five thousand moralas when I finish work tomorrow night."
Worried that Cyno, a stranger, would dislike the lack of payment, Glori made a request for installment payment, she had been standing here for a long time, but the people around her didn't care about her, and she finally passed by a person, she didn't want to just give up.
Seeing the apprehension and uneasiness on Glory's face in front of him, Cyno took out the dandelion that he was going to give to Tighnari and put it in Glory's hand.
Feeling the fluffy touch of the dandelion in her hand, Glori was overjoyed, the blindfolded blindfold was a little wet, her lover had been gone for a long time, and it was often said that the wind could bring her thoughts to any place in Teyvat, so she wanted to use the dandelion to send her thoughts, hoping that the dandelion could go to see her lover on her behalf.
Florie carefully closed the dandelion in her palm, Cyno silently stepped back a few steps to leave room for the girl to whisper something to her lover, and when Florie raised her head, Cyno stepped forward to take the dandelion from Glory's hand.
"I'm really bothering you, this is your reward, you must pay attention to safety when climbing to a high place to release these dandelions, the last time Bennett helped me release the dandelions, I accidentally fell and injured myself."
Speaking of this, Florie still feels a little guilty, but she didn't have a job or Mora at the time, so she could only visit Bennett with two apples.
"You don't have to be paid."
"But..."
Florie didn't have time to say anything, Cyno had already disappeared into the night, because Glori, who had lost her light and hearing, couldn't hear Cyno's voice, so she could only stand in place and silently pray that Lord Anemo would protect the kind stranger.
On the roof of the Cathedral of Zephyr, Cyno stood at the top of the roof against the night breeze, and the lights shining in the distance looked particularly lively in the dark night, perhaps while people were enjoying the excitement, no one remembered a blind girl in Mondstadt who needed help.
He should have reported the matter to the Knights of Favonius, and Cyno had made up his mind to talk about it tomorrow when he met with the acting leader, even though he could have done otherwise.
A gust of night wind blew, Cyno opened his palm, and the dandelion in his hand drifted away with the girl's thoughts with the wind.
After doing all this, standing at the top of the church and watching Mondstadt for a while, Cyno leapt from the height of Favonius Cathedral and landed firmly on the ground, somehow a tiny dandelion seed swayed in mid-air and landed on Cyno's nose.
Taking the dandelion seed from his nose, Cyno carefully put the dandelion seed in his pocket, it seemed that he didn't need to buy a new one for Tighnari's gift, this dandelion seed would be the best gift.
On the Yujing Terrace in Liyue Harbor, Zhongli and Grandma Ping sat opposite each other, a pot of tea in front of them was floating faintly steaming, and Grandma Ping looked at the person she was very familiar with, her eyes were full of complexity, whether surprised, understanding, or worried, and after a moment of silence, Grandma Ping still asked in an old voice.
"Emperor, have you really decided, there may be a lot of casualties in this, you might as well think about it again."
"The winds from another world are about to blow to Liyue, and this is the perfect time, and I already know your concerns, but sacrifice is inevitable on the road to the rule of man."
"As the little guy said, I've been guarding Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the next thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years?"
Zhongli took a sip of the fragrant tea, as if he hadn't said it, but Grandma Ping didn't have the heart to taste her collection of tea, because she knew how much the Emperor's plan with her would have an impact on Liyue.
The number of people who died under this kind of impact would be a terrifying number, which made Grandma Ping a little unacceptable, and she even wondered when the Emperor had become so cold-blooded, and why the Emperor who had guarded Liyue had become the way he is now.
"Ah Ping, I know what you're thinking, but, instead of waiting for one day when I really leave, it's better to do all this while I'm still here, at least, I can be the last guarantee for all this."
"Emperor...
Madame Ping was silent, Zhongli was right, he had been worn out as the Seventh Ruler of the Mortal Realm for too long, and the benefits outweighed the disadvantages of letting Liyue step into the era of human rule while he was still alive.
"Ah Ping, don't worry too much, do you remember that little guy Ruoban, I think he is enough to be independent."
"The boy?"
Thinking of the name that is always indispensable on the mouth of her apprentice Xiangling, Grandma Ping thought about what Ruo Ban had done over the years, and nodded slightly, with the teaching of the Dragon King, Ruo Ban's little guy's strength is still quite good.
"The Emperor is going to see how that kid does in your plan?"
"No, I will personally set up a test for him and Ruotuo, and if the two of them can pass this test, then Liyue can rest assured that Liyue will be able to hand it over to them even if I am gone."
Zhongli stood up, Liyue Harbor in full view, and at night, the bustle of Liyue Harbor reminded him of the events that had happened with him when he and Ruota had established Liyue Harbor together.
At that time, Ruo Tuo also laughed at him for being too warped after turning into a human form, now that I think about it, it was too light to give Ruo Tuo a day at that time, and the Taoist picture of getting along with Ruo Tuo before flashed in front of his eyes, and the corners of Zhongli's mouth rose slightly,
"Joda, my best brother, although I cannot remember history forever, but I can make you a witness to all this, forgive me, one day you will understand what I have done."
