Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

"People always yearn for heroes to save them in times of crisis."

"But when the hero truly appears before you."

"People want to destroy her again."

It's not that the hero did a bad job.

"But the way they sacrifice themselves is truly unacceptable."

"Besides, will her self-sacrifice really solve all the problems?"

"This will only leave psychological trauma to the living."

"Not to mention, the Grass Dragon King Apep also absorbed some forbidden knowledge."

"It hasn't been digested for over a thousand years."

　(cfag) "Would her death solve everything?"

So, if I may be so bold—

"The act of sacrificing oneself is truly admirable."

"But this kind of wicked woman who deceives people into tears is not worth learning from at all."

"Never forget!"

"You still have me, and you still have everyone."

"Can't we all work together to find a solution when we encounter a difficult problem?"

Even if it really can't be solved.

"Isn't it the same if everyone has a happy reunion in the underworld?"

"Always sacrificing oneself or something."

"To be honest, I'm not a good person."

"Even though I was moved by her at the time, even though I was tricked into crying by her!"

"Looking back on it later."

"I'll also spit on her tombstone a few times!"

"Then compile her dark history into a book."

"Let her become a laughing stock!"

Everyone: "..." trembling.jpg

Listening to Gu Jing's long-winded speech, Yingmei, Paimon, Naxida, and the people watching the live stream all had their heads buzzing.

But... this damn guy gets so ruthless he even curses himself!

After being 'threatened' by him with such a terrifying thing, Yingmei and the others indeed developed a sense of urgency about self-sacrifice. Some quick-thinking people even wondered if Gu Jing's diary entries about their dark history were also for this reason.

"As for Demon Scale Disease and all that..."

"We'll meet you in Huacheng Guo later."

"Let me think about it and then decide."

******

Before the sun had completely set, Gu Jing and his group arrived at Huacheng Guo along the road.

Somewhat surprisingly, yet also understandably, Corley, the ranger, had been waiting at the Statue of the Seven for quite some time.

Moreover, Farusan, who admires her, has come all the way from the Order of the Church and is currently waiting with her.

From a distance, they could see Gu Jing and his group. Ke Lai looked somewhat excited, while Farusan remained calm as ever.

There was nothing she could do. Gu Jing kept mentioning "Sumeru Pig" in his diary. As a Sumeru person, Farusan found it difficult to give him a friendly look. Moreover, because she was also a Sumeru person, she understood that she couldn't stay out of it at this time.

Even though she had only recently returned to the Order of the Order from the Crimson King's Ruins, who else but her, a senior, would be willing to handle this kind of matter?

You should know that after learning the rules for obtaining the diary copy, she felt somewhat lonely and wanted to find her 'kind' in Sumeru City.

Based on the patterns she summarized—being over 14 years old, possessing divine eyes, and having good looks—she found the right match.

But if it were really Dixia, Laiira, and Nilu to negotiate, Senior Falushan would really be worried.

Especially Miss Dixia from the desert, Gu Jing's words "desert scoundrel" really provoked her to the point of wanting to hit someone!

In addition, Miss Nel is too busy with work to get away, and Laila's dual personality is unstable. It seems we still have to rely on our seniors to step in!

******

When Gu Jing and his group approached, Ke Lai greeted them somewhat reservedly: "H-Hello everyone, I'm Ke Lai... I'm... I'm a trainee forest ranger from Huacheng Guo..."

"Hehe~ Don't be too nervous, Cole."

"We're not that scary."

"And since Cole is here waiting for us."

"They probably also had a diary, right?"

"While it's true that not everyone who owns a diary is a good person, for example, a lady..."

"But Paimon can tell."

"Colette is not a bad person."

"I think..."

"We might be able to become good friends!"

As the blonde aunt's divine mouth took effect on the spot, the tension on the green-haired girl's face visibly disappeared.

Seeing Paimon smile and nod at her, she said, "Yes, I'm really happy to be friends with Paimon."

Then, as if remembering something, Cole took out some pocket bread that he had prepared beforehand from his pocket: "These are pocket breads I made at noon today."

"Paymon, would you like to try some?"

Upon seeing the food, Paimon, the foodie, immediately showed a very pleasant expression: "This is great! Thank you, Cole!"

Meanwhile, Farusan introduced herself to Gu Jing and the others: "Good afternoon, Lord Little Lucky Grass, Mr. Gu Jing, and Miss Ying."

"I am Farusan."

"He is a scholar of the Zhilun School of the Sumeru School."

"However, the Order House is the Order House."

"A scholar is a scholar."

"The two should not be confused."

"It is my honor to receive Mr. Gu Jing's diary."

"I was originally planning to be your guide."

"However, Lord Little Lucky Grass King is also here..."

"I'm actually a bit superfluous."

PS: Thank you 'Seven Prayers' for the votes and flowers!

The picture shows Cole.

Chapter Ninety-Five: Scholars are all about facts and reason, aren't they?

Upon entering Huachengguo, one can see that the houses here are all thatched huts, which is normal, since Huachengguo was originally a temporary resting place built by scholars of Xumi in the rainforest, and now it is mainly used by forest rangers.

These forest rangers patrol the rainforest every day, protecting the ecosystem and clearing dead zones, so they don't have high requirements for living conditions.

Meanwhile, Cole's master, Tina, who had big ears and was a rather serious person, was the leader of the many forest rangers in Huacheng Guo.

Tinari couldn't help but be curious about Gu Jing and his group, who had been specially welcomed back by Cole and Farusan. Moreover... upon learning that so many people were living together in just one thatched hut, Tinari's gaze towards Gu Jing became somewhat subtle.

Tinali didn't ask any further questions, but readily agreed and led Gu Jing and the others to a relatively large thatched hut.

However, seeing that Cole showed no sign of leaving.

Tina, who was worried about her apprentice, came up with an excuse: "The rainforest at night can easily make people catch a cold, so everyone must be careful to keep warm. Kolai, come with me, let's go prepare some bedding for your friends."

"oh oh."

"Yes, Master."

Naïve Cole didn't think much of it, apologized, and left with Tinari. But even Paimon knew that Tinari had deliberately sent his apprentice away to ask her about the situation, essentially to keep an eye on...that scumbag!

******

"Pfft~" x2

Not long after Cole left, Paimon and Nasita couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then Gu Jing grabbed the two little ones and gave them a good rub.

In the midst of the joyful atmosphere, Gu Jing took out the Dust Song Pot and placed it on the wooden table, indicating to Yingmei to send Mona Sida and the other two inside first.

He sat down facing Fiona and smiled at her: "Just chatting isn't fun enough. Do you like the berry juice?"

With a wave of his hand, a square glass appeared in front of both of them, and the bottle contained the berry juice that Rosalia had given him.

But... after just tasting it, he was both amused and exasperated. Was the juice that a drunkard was talking about really juice?

Looking at Farusan again, he indeed saw the blush on the blue-haired girl's face: "Sorry, I didn't expect that the juice Rosalia mentioned would contain alcohol, but just a little bit should be fine, right?"

A little embarrassed, Farusan tried her best to remain calm: "As a drink, it's alright... But speaking of which, I didn't expect Mr. Gu Jing to let me stay. What would you like to talk about?"

"I know a bit about puzzle-solving."

"I also have some knowledge of mechanical arts."

"I don't know about the rest."

Just like before, Farusan's calm and even tone of voice always gave people the feeling of discussing the matter objectively, and she appeared neither humble nor arrogant.

In terms of appearance, her long, light blue hair was tied into pigtails, which accentuated her delicate features. Her clean and tidy dress fit her petite figure perfectly. Overall, Miss Farusan gave off the impression of a refined and elegant scholar.

In terms of personality, he is quite serious, and his words and actions exude an indescribable confidence, a quality that comes from extensive reading.

Their eyes met, and Gu Jing smiled noncommittally: "Let's not talk about anything else today, let's just talk about Miss Farusan's true thoughts?"
