"Traveler, Paimon, have you returned to Liyue?" Shenhe shifted his gaze to Ying and Paimon and spoke.

Paimon replied, "yes, come to Liyue for the Lantern Festival, then again, Shenhe, what are you doing?" ”

"Help Yelan arrest someone." Shenhe replied as he lowered the chicken-like Treasure Hoarders to the ground.

Yelan: "."

"So, the matter is settled? We haven't done it yet. ”

"I'm sorry, but if you want to catch him again, I can send him back." After Shenhe finished speaking, he prepared to pick up the Treasure Hoarders in front of him.

"Oh, wait, Shenhe, that's not what I meant." Paimon hurriedly stopped, "Since you've caught all of them, it's a bit unreasonable to put them back." ”

"yes, okay." Shenhe stopped what he was doing and replied.

"Yelan, is this Treasure Hoarder the person we're looking for?"

Yelan looked at the Treasure Hoarders and nodded, "Well, yes, she didn't catch the wrong person. ”

"No, don't kill me!" The Treasure Hoarders woke up from their stupor, as if they had been frightened by something.

Yelan: "."

"Shenhe, what did you do before?" Paimon asked with some curiosity as he looked at the shivering man crouching on the ground.

"He was hiding behind a rock, and he wouldn't come out when I called out to him, so I broke the little stone in front of him, and when I saw him he had already fainted, and I didn't have time to do anything." Shenhe replied helplessly.

Paimon: "."

"Where is this small stone, that few meters thick rock, was broken by her punch, if I hadn't been far away, I guess she would have been killed on the spot." The Treasure Hoarders complained, "Help me, I don't want to die, even if I take something, it won't kill me!" ”

"Then you can explain it yourself." Yelan took the opportunity to speak: "You only have one chance, don't let me ask, otherwise"

Speaking of this, Yelan gestured to the Treasure Hoarders with her eyes to the Shenhe behind her, and when he saw this, he hurriedly replied, "I understand, I understand very well!" ”

"Isn't it almost the end of the holidays, I also want to buy something to improve my life"

"Don't look at me as a Treasure Hoarder, but I don't usually have much experience with petty theft, so I was asked to rush to the door. I really don't dare. ”

Paimon's remarks made Paimon reprimand, "Okay, you're still complaining." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, I, I, I'm all. Not beat around the bush. ”

"You go on." Yelan bowed her head.

"I thought about it and finally remembered what happened when I was a child. The thieves blew the horn, and grandma took us to run away."

"I'm just. . . I just adjusted it according to the song I remembered, and at first I just wanted to try it! I didn't expect that family to actually escape."

"There is no reason why the meat that is brought to the mouth should not be taken away? I, I mean."

"I know it's wrong now, I'll give them back as they are. Please do well, and be light."

Yelan interrupted: "Do you want to deal with it lightly, or privately. Don't let you spend Lantern Festival in prison? ”

The Treasure Hoarders replied, "Yes, that's what it means."

"Nope." Shenhe said suddenly.

"Why?" The Treasure Hoarders looked at Shenhe with a look of horror and surprise.

"Master once said that if you make a mistake and apologize, it's over, then what else do you want Millelith to do?" Shenhe said.

"What do you mean?"

Shenhe replied, "You have to go in, and then we will talk about compensation when we come out." ”

Treasure Hoarders: ."

In the face of Shenhe's words, the Treasure Hoarders just opened their mouths, and finally did not defend anything, because he was afraid that if he said something that he shouldn't say, he would be punched to death by the woman in front of him.

Moreover, it was only for a period of time, and none of this was important compared to the small life.

"In that case, let's do it." Yelan said suddenly: "Come with me, sir, return the things first, follow me to find the person concerned, apologize in person, and then I will escort you to the General Affairs Division." ”

Treasure Hoarders: ."

"You're also a victim, and I'm sure you can understand that fear." Seeing the Treasure Hoarders with their heads down and silent, Yelan continued, "Could it be that greed is more important than your fear? Besides, with that talent, isn't it very good to find some serious work to support yourself? ”

"That's what you said."

"Heh, I'm done, you have time to reflect slowly." Yelan sighed and said, "Obviously, the Millelith Army has been recruiting people and the welfare subsidies are very good, so I can't understand why there are still Liyue people who are doing the Treasure Hoarders' petty actions. ”

"Thousand, Millelith, I'm not a good fit."

"Forget it, it's up to you." Yelan didn't say much when she saw this: "I'll handle the finishing work, you guys go first." ”

"Do you need my help?" Shenhe asked.

Yelan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no need, you and the traveler can go back first." ”

Speaking of this, Yelan suddenly thought of something and continued: "By the way, when you go back to the errand, don't mention my name. ”

"Why?" Paimon asked, confused.

"Because the matter was solved by Shenhe, and you are here to investigate this matter." Yelan opened her mouth and replied, "There is nothing wrong with this credit being attributed to you, take it, I will be very happy." ”

"Goodbye and happy Lantern Day."

After saying that, Yelan dragged the Treasure Hoarder member with silk thread and ran away under the stunned gaze of Ying.

"It seems that Yelan left in a hurry." Paimon spread his hands helplessly.

Seeing this, Shenhe sighed and said, "Alas, I'm still causing trouble to others, she should hate me now, right?" ”

"Shenhe, don't think so, Yelan doesn't hate you, it's just that the way you deal with the problem does make her a little troubled, just learn more." Paimon hurriedly relieved him, "If there's anything you don't understand, just ask your master." ”

"Well, what you're saying is, then it's time for me to leave." Shenhe nodded.

"Huh? Shenhe, aren't you going with us to receive the reward? ”

"No need, it's useless for me to take these things, and I can't use up the things that Senior Sister and Master gave me." Shenhe shook his head and said.

"Okay, we'll see you then."

Ying suddenly said loudly: "Shenhe, Happy Sea Lantern Festival." ”

"Well, Happy Lantern Day." Shenhe smiled at Ying and nodded, and then the figure disappeared in front of everyone.

"Traveler, is that one just now also an immortal?" Kamisato Ayaka asked with some curiosity after seeing that Yelan and Shenhe had left.

"No, Shenhe is a human, but she was accepted as an apprentice by the immortals, and she also learned the immortal method." Paimon explained, "That's why it's like this. ”

"I see, thank you, Paimon." Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

"It's okay, we're good friends."

Paimon suddenly thought of something when he said this, and suddenly spoke, "Although the [Strange Melody] incident was inexplicably completed by Shenhe's intervention. ”

"However, I have some regrets that I didn't hear the Treasure Hoarder play that melody in the end."

"Some regrets?" Ying wondered.

Kamisato Ayaka nodded and said, "Me too, I didn't expect music to have such a role." ”

"Right, right! I'll just say you wouldn't have thought of it! Paimon said, "When I was chatting with Uncle Dvošak before, I thought music was all good. ”

"That's what we usually hear! It soothes the mood, evokes good memories and conjures up pleasant experiences"

"Just like the sound of Nahida playing the piano for the first time when we heard it in Yujingtai before, I couldn't help but think of a lot of delicious food."

"You only think of delicious food under the sound of Nahida's piano?" Ying looked at Paimon in surprise and said, "Nahida's piano sound has nothing to do with what she eats, right?" ”

"No, it's so good, it makes me fall into the dream I like, hehe, you know, I like to eat." Paimon scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Anyway, Ayaka, Ying, what did you think of earlier?" ”

"My words," Kamisato Ayaka said with some embarrassment, but both Paimon and Ying could see in her face a sense of fulfillment, but with an indescribable sense of loss.

"Ayaka, it's okay if you don't want to say it." Ying was relieved: "My words are that I have the power I want, and I can freely shuttle through the starry sky." ”

"So that's what travelers see? That's nice. Kamisato Ayaka muttered, "My words, I saw my parents in that melody, they were so real, but when the sound of the piano disappeared, they left again, so."

"I see, Ayaka, don't be too sad."

"Paimon, it's okay, don't worry about me, because I'm pretty content now." Kamisato Ayaka shook her head with a smile and said.

"Well, that means that music can not only bring people into good memories, but also be used by him to do this kind of thing, just like the previous Treasure Hoarder member." Paimon concluded.

"Yes, because the psychology of the person playing the music at that time will affect the emotions conveyed by the music." Kamisato Ayaka replied, "Nahida must have been in a happy mood when she played the piano, but I think the Treasure Hoarders were not in the right mind when they played the melody. ”

Paimon scratched his head a little confused and said, "Hmm, is that so?" Reasonable... It feels like my understanding of music has taken me one step further! ”

"Oh yes, now that the matter is settled, let's go back to Liyue Harbor, and the reward for Baiwen and emergencies is still waiting for us."

"Well, let's go back then." Kamisato Ayaka nodded and said, "Traveler, I'll trouble you to take me for the rest of the matter." ”

"It's okay, it's a small thing for me." Ying smiled and waved her hand.

At the same time, Mt. Okuzo.

"Liuyun, hurry up, if you want me to say, wouldn't it be good to move this mountain directly?" Tassel shouted at Liuyun, who didn't know what he was busy with in the cave.

"Oh, tassel, after all, I've lived here for so long, and the scenery is not bad, if you look at this clear waterhole, don't you just happen to be able to fish here?"

"Hey, when you say that, I suddenly feel like this place is very good."

The tassel looks at the scenery of the Ozo Mountain, not only the mountains and water, but also the tranquility, which is not much more comfortable than Liyue Harbor? The main thing is that there is a pool of water at the door, and you can throw the rod directly.

"That is, the vision of the immortal is not covered, this feng shui treasure is still me" Speaking of this, Liuyun paused and continued: "Ahem, I discovered it myself. ”

Tassel: "."

Or are you what? You're done, tsk.

"It would be nice to have a few fish, no, my hands are itchy." Speaking of this, Tassel thought for a moment, and then set his eyes on Lotia, who was in a daze on the side.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Tassel was looking at herself, Lotia asked with some trepidation.

"Lotia, you see I want to fish, but there are no fish in the water, so."

Lodia: "."

Hearing the tassel's words, Lotia sighed in her heart, silently transformed herself into the form of a mermaid, and then jumped into the water with a thud, swimming in this pool like a fish.

"Hehe, you still understand me, thank you."

Seeing that Lotia was so interesting, Tassel smiled and took out his hookless fishing rod and threw it into the pool.

Lotia replied faintly, "I'm still going to say you're welcome."

Tassel: "."

Lotia didn't expect her god to let her do this, but fortunately, she also liked water, and her mood would naturally improve when she frolicked in the water, of course, if it weren't for the god who was holding the fishing rod and eyeing her.

After a while, Tassel looked at Lotia, who was swimming and playing in the waterhole, and suddenly thought of something and asked her, "By the way, Lotia, do you know the god of water?" ”

"The god of water?" When Lotia heard Tassel's words, her swimming movements stopped, and she surfaced to think for a moment and replied, "I don't know, the current water god is no longer the one I know well." ”

"And how did you end up in Liyue?"

"It came with the water." Lotia replied, "Then she settled down at the Chrycezhuang." ”

"It feels like you said it and didn't say it."

"Well, because my memory is a little confused, when I was a pure water elf, we couldn't be considered real beings, and we couldn't understand life until I met you."

"So, there are other water elves."

"Yes, the pure water elves are all water relatives from Fontaine, distributed in the mountains and rivers of the Teyvat continent, in the small ponds and streams, everything we see and hear will be transmitted to the water gods."

"So, you water elves are all 'spies' sent by Fontaine?"

"Tassel, before answering your question, let me correct you, I'm not a pure water elf now." Lotia said with a serious face.

Tassel smiled and replied, "Well, I see." ”

"Although the pure water elves can help the water god explore other realms, the water god in the past did not have any plans, she just wanted to be like water, through the continent, and connect everyone, but with her disappearance, many elves have cut off contact with her."

"In the past, I longed for the appearance of living beings on the ground, so I continued to use pure water to simulate their posture, but water is water after all, and they don't need to breathe, eat, or have the same emotions as living beings."

"Don't talk about them, even I don't have these, I was not happy as the master of clean water in Qingce Village, no, it can be said that I don't know what this emotion of happiness is, I can only spend day after day like a machine in ignorance, maybe one day in the future, the pure water will also be corrupted, and I will die here."

"Fortunately, I met you, although the process is a little twists and turns, but you did give me life, so that I can walk on the earth without the help of water, just like the creatures on the earth, and my emotions, thoughts, and even my soul have been perfected because of you."

Speaking of this, Lotia looked at Tassel expectantly and asked, "Tassel, as the god of wisdom, can you tell me if I can be regarded as a real creature now?" ”

"Of course it is." Tassel replied without hesitation: "No matter what it is, when they have their own ideas and can think subjectively on their own, and their own emotions will change according to what they see and hear, even if it is acquired, even if it is a machine, it can be said to be a real creature." ”

"Thank you, Tassel, I'm really happy." Hearing Tassel's explanation, Lotia smiled sweetly and said, "When I was in Liyue, I learned a lot from Liuyun, but I was always afraid that I wouldn't be a real creature yet, but now that I have you, I'm completely relieved. ”

"Now that I'm relieved, I haven't honestly entered the water, and I haven't caught enough yet." Tassel said to Lotia expressionlessly: "And you can believe what I say, so what is the difference between you and a thoughtless robot?" ”

Lodia: "."

Hearing this, Lotia's smile froze, and then she glanced at the tassel with some resentment, and silently dived into the water and began to spit bubbles unhappily.

"Poof." Seeing Lotia spitting bubbles with an uncomfortable face when she dived into the water, Tassel couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, okay, I just scared you, you see, after I finished speaking, you were unhappy in your heart, right, this can also mean that you are really a living being, so don't think about anything else."

When Lotia heard Tassel's words, she suddenly got out of the water, looked at her angrily and said, "Tassel, you scoundrel!" ”

"Look, aren't you very emotional?" Tassel still smiled and said: "If it weren't for the creature, there wouldn't be as independent as you are now, oh, I'm just making you more at ease, or if you keep asking me this question, I won't have time to answer you." ”

Lodia: "."

Although what you said makes sense, but I always feel weird, forget it or don't want to, people are the gods of wisdom, and they have only become an elf who has lived for less than two years, and it's not to find guilt to break with her.

Thinking of this, Lotia also saw it, so in Tassel's surprised gaze, Lotia floated face up on the water like a dead fish, as if telling Tassel that she was going to rot now.

Tassel: "."

Hey, how can I fish like this, although it's a little wrong to let you be a fish, but you can't turn your belly in the water, right?
