Chapter 321: The Fish Is Hooked
"Tassels, you don't drink anymore!"
"Tsk, why are you so stingy, aren't you just drinking a little wine?"
"Am I stingy?" Wendy pointed to herself and said with an incredulous expression, "Also, do you care a little?" β
"In terms of general reason, there is no linguistic difference between a point and a billion." Zhongli replied with a sip of wine.
Wendy: "."
"Forget it, since this Fengshen is so stingy, it's okay not to drink this wine." Tassel pretended to be disappointed and said, "I was originally going to give you a gift at the Wind Flower Festival, but I didn't expect me to be so unpopular here." β
Speaking of this, Tassel let out a long sigh and said, "Wellβforget it, I'm going back to Liyue to fish." β
Venti: "??? β
You said it earlier if there was a gift, really, is my Wendy the kind of stingy person? Obviously not.
Thinking of this, Wendy licked her face and smiled at the tassel and asked, "Ahem, tassel, what is the gift for me?" β
"Oh, no." Tassel squinted at Wendy with one eye.
"Alas, don't be like this, I was a little louder just now." Wendy continued, "So, what the hell is a gift? β
"Let's not mention this for now, someone is coming." Tassel spoke.
"What kind of big night when the brain is sick and the wind is blowing."
Zhongli: "."
Shadow: "."
"The singers, as well as the tassel Zhongli and the shadow, you are all here!" Paimon said in surprise, "We've been looking for you at the tavern for a long time, but Ying said you might be here in the Wind Rises, so we came over to take a look." β
"What are you looking for me for?" Wendy wondered.
"We have something very important to ask you."
Venti: "Uh-huh. β
Paimon relayed the details of the mysterious prophecy he had seen.
"How's that, do you have any clue?" Paimon asked curiously.
Wendy spread her hands and said helplessly, "Have you forgotten?" It's the time of the Wind Flower Festival, so I can't ask anyone for help. β
Paimon nodded in understanding, "I know, you're not human, that's why I asked you." β
Wendy: "."
"Hahaha." Hearing this, Tassel laughed a little unkindly.
Wendy glanced at the tassel expressionlessly and said, "What are you laughing at, talking as if you are human." β
Tassel: "."
"Alas, that's not what I meant." Seeing this, Paimon hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Singer, you don't want to tell us the answer, just tell us if it's worth trying!" β
"So, you want a little hint?"
"Well, a little more answer." Ying added.
"Haha, forget about this, but the person who left this prophecy is very powerful, if you can solve this mystery, something good will definitely happen."
"Well, I know where the lights are." Wendy smiled and said, "When you find the same four things, I'll write you the location. Sweet, right? β
"That guy is very powerful? How powerful? Is it more powerful than tassels? Paimon scratched his head.
"I'm talking about people, Tassel is not a person, she is a god, and there is no comparison between the two." Wendy spread her hands and explained, "But it is still possible to fulfill some small wishes. β
Tassel: "."
You're not done yet, right, you wait for the next time you feel better, write down your money in a small notebook first, and let's settle the account after the fall.
"Oh~ I see." Paimon said suddenly.
"Well, can the tassel help us collect something, just like the ability you used to help us collect key patterns in the Yuanxia Palace before." Paimon continued, "Whoosh, all the keys are in your hand. β
"Yes, a thousand contributions are worth one item." Tassel glanced at Paimon.
"A thousand?!" Paimon exclaimed, "Why don't you grab it?!" β
Tassel replied with a smile: "Because this is faster than grabbing, and I believe that Ying's contribution value is not bad, isn't it?" β
Ying: "."
"Elysia, what are you doing behind Ying?" Yae Miko suddenly said with some doubts: "You are taller than Ying, you can't hide it at all." β
Elysia: "."
Why are you saying that you are so good and mentioning me?
"That, how are you~" Elysia greeted everyone with some embarrassment.
"It's not good at all." Tassel replied pretending to be disappointed, "Because a little cutie with pink hair just ignored me." β
"I'm sad right now, and I need a cute hug to get better"
Elysia: "."
"That. That one suddenly occurred to me that I had something to do, so I left first. With that, Elysia disappeared.
Tassel: "."
"Tassel, what's going on?" Paimon asked curiously, glancing at where Elysia had disappeared.
Tassel touched her chin and replied with a deep face: "I went too far before, and it may have dealt a heavy blow to her young mind." β
Paimon: "."
Elysia: Who wants to play with you, you're immune to all my attacks, but you can deal me exponential piercing damage, and while I like pretty girls, I'm not stupid.
"Anyway, what are you doing here?"
Wendy replied, "Drink." β
"Drinking?" Paimon wondered, "It seems that no one else here likes to drink much except you?" β
"As the host of Mondstadt, my old friend came over for the Windflower Festival, so I have to say something, right?" Wendy spread her hands and said, "So I took out the wine I had treasured for many years and served them to them." β
"So that's the case, I didn't expect you to invite others to drink if you were a singer." Paimon was surprised, "It's just as hard to see that Zhongli is going out with Mora, and the Ying card is not crooked." β
"What is your opinion on my card draw? Do you say it every time? Glowing glanced at Paimon and said expressionlessly, "Your food expenses will be reduced to a quarter of your original amount next month." β
"I think it's better to double it again." Zhongli was silent for a moment and then said suddenly.
Ying nodded and said, "Well, since Zhongli has spoken, let's reduce it to one-eighth." β
"Don't!"
Early the next morning, Ying and Paimon arrived at the Mondstadt Alchemy Stand to meet Sucrose.
As for why it was the two of them, because after Elysia suddenly escaped yesterday, there was no trace, and it was already the middle of the night when Ying and Paimon received the message.
Although the other party said that he was fine, Ying felt that all this must have something to do with tassels.
"Flowers that don't exist. Flowers that don't exist."
Looking at Sucrose, who was muttering to himself, Paimon opened his mouth and greeted, "Sucrose!" There's a good news and a bad news, which are you going to hear first? β
"Well, I want to hear the bad one first." Sucrose thought for a moment before replying.
"Huh?! Shouldn't most people choose the one that is happy? β
Ying reminded aloud, "Paimon, get to the point. β
"Woo. Anyway, we went to find the breeze in the land of the wind and divined. Paimon sorted out his words and said, "The wind says that the puzzle makes sense, your idea is good, and it's worth doing." β
Sucrose wondered, "This doesn't sound like bad news, but what's the real bad news?" β
"The bad news was eaten by me, alas!"
Sucrose: "."
Ying: "."
Paimon: "."
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassed, Paimon threw the black cauldron to Cyno and said, "It's all because of Cyno!" If it's not funny, it's all Cyno's fault! β
"Huh. It's okay, then I'm relieved. Sucrose replied with an embarrassed but polite smile.
"Back to what I was thinking about."
"I think that flowers that don't exist must be artificially cultivated. But such a flower is not so much non-existent, but a variant of an existing variety. β
"In this way, everything that has traces to follow cannot be called non-existent?"
"No, we met a person who is nowhere to be found, but she is real." Paimon shook his head and said, "So Sucrose, do you say she exists or doesn't exist?" β
"Huh? No trace? Sucrose wondered, "How can there be such a person?" β
"Sucrose, Paimon isn't talking about people, she's talking about gods." Albedo suddenly walked over and spoke.
"Ah, Mr. Albedo?"
"Albedo, why are you there?" Paimon asked curiously.
"I've been here for the past few days of the Wind Flower Festival, but you're here to look for sugar, so I didn't show up." Albedo replied, "I just heard Lepaimon's question, and it was funny. β
Paimon: "."
"Mr. Albedo thinks the one Paimon is the non-existent flower we're looking for?" Sucrose wondered.
Albedo shook his head and said, "No. β
"Huh? Are you sure? Why is Albedo so sure? Paimon asked, curious.
"Because I already know a little bit about the answer to the puzzle." Albedo replied, "I have guessed who the person who came up with this puzzle is." β
"Who is it?"
"I think it's Ms. Alice." Albedo replied, touching his chin.
Paimon was surprised, "It's Klee's mother?" I'll just say, it seems that all this is for little Klee again? β
"No, Lady Alice loves Klee, but this puzzle is not for Klee." Albedo shook his head.
"Albedo, why are you telling us this?"
"Since I just overheard your conversation, I should also share some information that I know for the sake of equality."
Paimon spread his hands and said helplessly, "Okay." β
"Mr. Albedo, what is the meaning of this proposition?" Sucrose wondered, "It seems that no one knows what the World Tree does not exist." β
"The rest, you'll need to find out for yourselves." Albedo spoke, "I don't know much about her puzzle other than knowing that it has to do with Lady Alice. β
"Sucrose, you might as well tell us about your conjecture about a flower that doesn't exist."
"Then back to the concrete conjecture. Non-existent flowers, I think may be the product of alchemy? β
"Albedo looks like he did something like that, right?" Ying glanced at Albedo and said.
"Well, that's right." Albedo nodded and said, "But flowers outside the world can't last long in the world of Teyvat. β
Paimon asked curiously, "Is it possible that the Wind Flower is there?" β
"Ah, so, there's a possibility." Sucrose scratched her head and said, "The Flower of the Wind is not a flower that is specifically defined, everyone is free to decide what they want to do with the Flower of the Wind. β
"It can also be said . The real Wind Flower does not exist, and perhaps it is also a direction! β
"I've made a note of it, I'm going to go back and look up the literature."
"Huh? Before that, don't you ask Albedo first? β
"No, Mr. Albedo is right, if you ask him a question as soon as you think of it, what is the difference between asking the teacher the answer during the exam?"
Albedo: "."
Sucrose continued, "I need a little time to prepare, why don't we meet here in two days?" β
"Okay, okay, we'll help find the answers to the remaining three puzzles too." Paimon smiled and agreed, "But don't we need to tell Collei in advance about the four of us doing our work?" β
"I wanted to leave her with some surprises, but I didn't want her expectations to be disappointed," Sucrose replied, "Paimon was right. I'll think about the wording and find an opportunity to tell her in the next two days. β
"We got it." Ying nodded.
"Well, that's hard for you." Sucrose nodded and said, "Mr. Albedo, then I'll go look up the literature first." β
"Well, go ahead." Albedo responded.
After Sucrose leaves, Paimon asks Albedo, who is still thinking, "Albedo, what are you thinking?" β
"I'm thinking about the untraceable god you spoke of earlier." Albedo replied.
"Huh?" Paimon was surprised, "Did Albedo think of something?" β
"There's a little conjecture, but I can't say it." Albedo replied, "Today I made an appointment with Tighnari to study the plants of Mondstadt, so I left first. β
"Hmm, okay." Paimon nodded in understanding, "Well, goodbye." β
"Well, goodbye."
After separating from Albedo, Ying and Paimon wander around Mondstadt, where they meet Cyno as he prepares to take a photo at the Stormdragon Ruins, Albedo researches plants with Tighnari, and Collei is taken on a trip to Mondstadt by Amber Eula.
Thanks to the Wind Flower Festival, all parts of Mondstadt are filled with plants that are unique to Mondstadt.
Tassel is dragged by Shadow and Yae Miko to visit Mondstadt at this time, while Venti and Zhongli leave early for the Angel's Gift.
According to Wendy, with Zhongli around, he can prostitute a lot of wine at Diluc.
"Son of God, can't you come down and walk by yourself? What do you do on my head every day? Tassel said helplessly to the little fox lying on his head.
"Oh, I'm not heavy." Yae Miko spoke, "And above you I can see higher ground. β
"Miko, is this true?" Ei listened to Yae Miko's words, hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice.
"Of course, I'll lie to you." Yae Miko said reasonably: "Tassel is the giant of the world, I am the one lying on top of the giant's head, and I can naturally see the scenery that the giant can see." β
Tassel: "."
At the same time, Fontaine.
As a country of water, Fontaine's main mode of transportation is also by boat, and there is not much land on the water, but the city of Fontaine is built on land.
Nahida and Lotia take Klee to a scenic spot and start frying fish.
"Boom sparks!"
"It's all going to blow it up!"
"Klee, don't be so anxious, if we fry too much, we won't be able to eat it for a while."
"It's the Wind Flower Festival in two days, and Klee wants to bring back the harvest at Fontaine for everyone to eat." Klee smiled and said, "With such a small amount of fish, little Paimon can't eat it alone." β
Nahida: "."
"Sister Lodia, aren't you going to fry fish with Klee?" Klee looked at Lotia, who was sitting on the edge of the cliff looking at Fontaine without saying a word, and asked with some confusion.
"Here we are." Lotia didn't answer, but said suddenly.
Klee wondered, "Sister Lodia, what. What's coming? β
"The people of Fontaine."
"Huh? Then I'll run! When Klee heard Lotia's answer, her little face hurriedly said.
Nahida soothed a panicked Klee and said, "What are you running, they can't beat us." β
"But, if this matter is known to Captain Jean, Klee will be finished." Klee said with a tangled little face.
"It's okay Klee, there's only one person here, no, a god." Nahida smiled and said, "If we can't beat her, we can just beat her up, and then threaten her not to talk about it." β
"Huh? Sister Nahida, isn't that right? Klee said with some concern, "Doing this kind of thing in another country or something"
"I think it's good, I agree with Nahida's decision." Lotia spoke.
Klee: "."
Klee suddenly realized that Nahida and Lotia had brought her to Fontaine, and the main purpose might not be to fry the fish.
And the two of them are even more daring than themselves, and they actually want to beat other people's gods in that god country, and Klee suddenly feels that the trouble she has caused before is nothing compared to these two sisters.
There is no comparison at all, and the most important thing is that the two of them are not managed by someone like the head of the qin, and they can do whatever they want.
"Klee also wants to grow up quickly, so that the head of the piano will no longer care about Klee." Thinking of this, Klee muttered quietly, "Sister Nahida grows up, she can play everywhere by herself, and Klee also wants to fry fish everywhere freely."
While Klee was still thinking, a girl in a black gothic dress appeared in front of several people, the girl had long light blue hair, dark blue and light blue eyes, and the other party exuded a majesty that belonged to a god.
Lotia glanced at the other. Expressionless greeted, "Fucarus." β
"Just call me Funingna, guest from afar." With a gentle smile, Funina said, "I think your arrival will be a real surprise for Fontaine." β
When Nahida heard this, she glanced at Lotia next to her with some confusion, this water god seems to be a little different from what Lotia said, and he didn't even come to do something? In that case, there is no excuse for the past.
Lodia: "."
Lotia read the other party's meaning from Nahida's puzzled eyes, so she gave Nahida a reassuring look at me, and then mobilized all the water elemental power in the space and rushed towards Funinga.
Funina: "!! β
"Fukaros, I don't know if you like this surprise I gave?"
