As the main city of the country of Sumeru, Sumeru City is also the seat of the Akademya, here, in addition to the scholars who can be seen everywhere, the entire Sumeru City is also very lively.

What sells Sumeru's special snacks, all kinds of spices, all kinds of costume jewelry, everything, and even Ruo Ban found an intelligence merchant who specializes in selling newspapers in a dark corner.

Although I saw many vendors selling Sumeru's special clothing and decorations along the way, Hu Tao was not interested in clothing and accessories, on the contrary, some new and strange gadgets made Hu Tao like it very much, and from time to time let Ruo Ban pay.

When Hu Tao was shopping for goods, Ruo Ban was not idle, passing by a stall selling Sumeru's special snacks, Ruo Ban also bought a beast rice fragrant for Hu Tao, he looked at Hu Tao last time He seemed to like eating this kind of snack very much, so Ruo Ban specially bought one for Hu Tao.

"Huh?"

Just as Ruo Ban was giving Namora to the food stall owner, a person caught Ruo Ban's attention, who was wearing a robe common in the Sumeru Desert region and carrying a bag on his back, which looked like a traveler from the desert, but his slightly hurried steps made Ruo Ban a little suspicious of this person.

These days, Ruo Ban has also learned about the current situation in Sumeru, the Sumeru people living in the rainforest area have always looked down on the Sumeru people living in the desert area, and this Sumeru people dressed in the desert suddenly appeared here, and their steps are still very flustered, there must be something wrong with this.

Looking at the direction in which the Sumeru man dressed in the desert left, Ruo Ban didn't meddle in anything, his task today was to accompany Hu Tao to go shopping, and he was not interested in other things, and he didn't know this person, in case of some misunderstanding, it would be troublesome, and as a result, the vendor boss handed over two copies of Beast Rice Xiangxiang, Ruo Ban didn't think about it anymore, but walked towards Hu Tao with Beast Rice Xiangxiang.

In this way, Hu Tao and Ruo Ban walked around while eating, and after shopping, the two came to a stall selling wood carvings, just at a glance, Hu Tao was attracted by the wood carvings on the stall.

"Boss, what are you carving in this wood carving? Refined vegetables? It's pretty special. ”

Hu Tao picked up a strange wood carving with round leaves on his head and looked at it carefully, don't you say, this little thing is quite chic, at least Hu Tao looks at this little thing quite pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that Hu Tao liked it, Ruo Ban also picked up a wood carving on the stall and looked at it, should I say it or not, although he has never seen this small thing carved by wood carving, but it is really cute.

"Haha, little girl, this is not a refined vegetable, I carved the legendary spirit who lives in the Sumeru rainforest"

The man who set up a stall to sell wood carvings was an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, and when he saw that Ruo Ban and Hu Tao were not dressed like Sumeru people, this old man was not angry when he heard Hu Tao say that the things he carved were refined vegetables, and he explained to Hu Tao and Ruo Ban that he had carved half of the wood carving in his hand.

"This elf is shorter than an underage human, with a single black stick figure on its facial features, and an umbrella-like crown on its head that resembles leaves and mushrooms, and two or four spiral leaves on the top of the crown, making it a very cute little creature."

"Huh? Is there really such a strange-looking little guy in Teyvat? ”

Hu Tao took his eyes off the wood carving in his hand, and then Hu Tao found that there were all kinds of wood carvings with similar appearances on this stall, which made Hu Tao wonder, she had never seen such a little guy when she was so big, and she had never heard of such a creature in Sumeru for a week.

This old man can't be fooling people, right? Hu Tao glanced at the old man in front of him, but he didn't see any confusion in the eyes of this old man, who was as if he had seen these little guys in person.

"Grandpa, why have I never heard of such a little guy?"

Didn't hold back the doubts in his heart, Hu Tao asked the old man with some curiosity, and the old man didn't hide it, and in the flashing nostalgic eyes, he said slowly.

"This group of little ones can only be seen by underage children and a very small number of adults blessed by the forest, most of them lose their memories of these little ones once they reach adulthood, and these little ones will also forget the memories of being with humans, but there are also cases where they remember the memories of being with these little ones due to acquired factors, such as me."

"As for why you haven't heard of these little ones, it's because they are usually very wary of humans, but they are very friendly to humans who can see them and show a friendly attitude, especially to children, and will become children's best playmates."

"Haha, people are getting old, so there are more things to say, I think you should come to Sumeru to play, then these two wood carvings will be given to you."

It may have been a long time since he told the story of these little guys to others, but the old man saw that Ruo Ban and Hu Tao were listening very seriously, and he smiled kindly and motioned for Ruo Ban and Hu Tao to give the wood carving in their hands to the two.

"Hey, how can this be, how many morals are carved in these two woods, I'll pay you mora."

Hu Tao is not a person who likes to take advantage of small things, and when he heard that the old man did not need her to pay Mora to give her and Ruo Ban the wood carving for free, Hu Tao's first reaction was to quickly refuse.

The old man looked at Hu Tao's resolute appearance of paying Mora, and after several arguments, the old man still did not resist Hu Tao, and watched Hu Tao and Ruo Ban leave here after Hu Tao threw down a bag of Mora.

"Boss Ruotuo, do you know what this thing is?"

While being pulled out of the stall by Hu Tao, Ruo Ban communicated with Ruo Tuo Dragon King, who said after carefully looking at the wood carving in Ruo Ban's hand.

"I don't know what this thing is, I haven't traveled far much, if it's in Liyue Land, I probably know about it, I don't know much about other countries."

Hearing that the Ruoda Dragon King didn't know much about what kind of species this little thing was, Ruo Ban couldn't help but take some interest in this little guy, but before he could continue to talk to the Ruo Tuo Dragon King, Hu Tao called out Nilou's name, which made Ruo Ban have to give up the idea of continuing to communicate with the Ruo Tuo Dragon King and look ahead.

Ahead, Nilou was standing there with a sad face, she was still holding a package in her hand, but it seemed that something was wrong with the package, Nilou's eyes revealed distress, and next to Nilou stood a Sumeru man dressed as a serious judge.
