Chapter 190 Orario's Lantern Festival

The labyrinth city of Orario is located in the far west of the continent. Although it is not directly on the coast, it is at least close to the sea.

And on this basis...

Within this fantastical world, the concept of 'New Year' also exists.

However, there are still more than half a year until the New Year... that is, the 'Goddess Festival'.

Ling Shu didn't think about worrying too much about the time issue.

Ultimately, the purpose of the 'Sea Lantern Festival' to be held in Orario is to commemorate the heroes who have long since passed away.

It's worth mentioning that Orario also has a similar event called 'Elegy Festival'.

Therefore, the Lantern Festival also has another layer of meaning...

"Hopefully, this will rekindle hope for the future in more people and help them get back on their feet."

Just as Loki had said before, many of her people are currently putting on a brave face. On the surface, nothing seems amiss, but deep down, they are all at their most vulnerable.

And Loki's family is clearly not an isolated case.

This time, the sacrifices and losses of all parties involved have been enormous.

It is precisely at times like these that people may really need a seemingly 'unnecessary' event to help them emerge from their current slump.

Today, Ling Shu woke up around 6 p.m.

He was really tired.

Exhausted to the point of being physically and mentally drained.

Honestly, even beating a Scorpio isn't this tiring.

But for him, all the things he's been busy with lately are necessary.

Fortunately, some people agree with his approach.

There are also people (gods) who are willing to follow him in doing 'useless work'.

However, the price is...

"Let's participate in the Lantern Festival together this year!"

I heard those words several days ago.

Looking at the present situation...

"Hee hee~"

The person who said this was wearing a devilish smile, holding Ling Shu's (his own) right arm and leaning on his right shoulder as they walked together down the street.

Feeling the weight and sensation coming from my right arm...

“I said, Miss... Seele.”

Ling Shu looked helplessly at the pretty figure beside him, "If you keep doing this, I might be killed by some people around us with their 'eyes'."

...Especially that tool spirit lady who followed us all the way and was particularly good at 'parallel chanting'.

And... a certain cat-person who moves about high and low.

"Ah~"

Ling Shu sighed helplessly.

The former and Ying had a good relationship, and the latter was a reliable senior in the clan, so why was she so hostile now that it was her turn?

Well, Ling Shu doesn't reject the different perspectives that come with having 'multiple identities'.

To be fair, if he didn't have this kind of personality, he wouldn't have awakened the fourth magic, 'Primordial Man'.

Let's digress a bit...

"In this respect, my older sister (Freya) and I are quite similar."

Yes, they all like to use alternate accounts.

but……

Without a doubt, my older sister's "alt account" is incredibly popular.

It's important to understand that in the original future trajectory of the current world, even without revealing her true identity as Freya, 'Silly Frova' has an absurdly large network of connections.

Ling Shu knew very well that 'Xi'er' was actually the original... or rather, the 'original' form of that goddess of beauty.

Now...

"What does Miss Hiller mean?"

The gray-haired girl gave a reproachful look.

Immediately, she pulled Ling Shu to a stop, then stood on tiptoe and whispered her lips in his ear...

"Tip: Starting today, please call me by my 'divine name'."

"Uh-huh?"

Ling Shu responded instinctively, then realized something was wrong.

God's name?

These words were phrases whose meaning only he and Freya could understand.

At present...

"Frigga, the goddess?"

"Hmm~"

The gray-haired girl tilted her head slightly. "Let's go, my first familia."

"Tonight is our 'date' time."

A cheerful figure skipped and hopped along, pulling Ling Shu along.

At this moment, the girl released the 'divine power' that she had previously actively suppressed.

It seemed to be a silent declaration...

"(The original) me is back~"

******

Tonight, the main venue for the Lantern Festival is located in Babel Square, right in the center of the city of Oralie.

Today, the 'Tower of God' that has stood for a thousand years is still under restoration, and the floor of one of the floors has just been completed, making it look like a natural platform...

It's perfect for holding today's celebration.

As night fell, countless people had already gathered in the square.

At this moment, humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, dwarves... heads thronged, in twos and threes, each holding a lantern.

Ling Shuhe was no exception.

Right now, he was being pulled by Seele into the crowd, looking towards the Tower of Babel... well, strictly speaking, the half-restored 'Babel base stage' location...

A Genshin Impact girl in a formal dress, her graceful figure already appearing in the sight of countless humans and gods below.

"Welcome everyone to the Lantern Festival tonight."

The girl is not from Liyue, but... since she accepted Ling Shu's request, she will definitely make this festival the best it can be.

Although she felt that, compared to herself, the 'Tianquan Star' Ningguang, who had prepared the entire festival plan from start to finish, was more suitable to take charge of the whole thing at this time.

But since the traveler trusts me, then...

"Recently, many terrible and sad things have happened."

"But we have overcome many difficulties together, and we believe that we can continue to move forward with each other's help in the future."

"Of course, those who gave their lives for our 'present' also deserve our blessings."

……

The opening remarks were delivered by the Genshin Impact girl 'Barbara' with great fluency.

These also owe some credit to the light-condensing mechanism.

According to that Tianquan star, the time was too tight, and the lyrics were not perfect this time.

Of course, in addition to completing her 'clerk' duties on time, Barbara has also been rehearsing today's program repeatedly these past few days.

This is her 'area of ​​expertise'.

Whether in the current world or on the continent of Teyvat, it is absolutely a top-tier existence.

This is precisely why Ling Shu... and even Ning Guang, believe that tonight's celebration should be hosted by her.

After all, compared to mere words... there is no doubt that the language of music is more moving.

Today, Ling Shu has chosen a song with lyrics written in the 'common language of the mainland' for those heroes who have already passed away.

Its name is:

"Moon_Holo (Moon Halo)"

"With this song, may the flame burn forever, until the dawn breaks!"

Chapter 191 Upon first hearing, one is already one with the character in the song.

Bert did not come to the central square with his family members.

In the past, he would never have attended such a celebratory event, which he would have categorized as a 'waste of time'.

But today, he came.

With strange feelings.

"Tch~ I must be out of my mind."

Holding a lantern in his hand, the werewolf youth, whose roguish demeanor was completely at odds with his hands-in-pockets attitude, was belittling himself in this way.
