The sea breeze blew her hair as Keqing quietly waited for Zhong Li to arrive.
With the tranquil sea breeze on one side and the bustling teahouse on the other, Keqing also fell into a different kind of tranquility.
But at this moment, a vibration from her wrist brought her back to her senses.
"Om~"
Keqing looked at her bracelet. Of course, the bracelet was not vibrating.
After injecting elemental power into it, Keqing saw a glowing black rectangular object.
It is this that produces the vibration sound.
And that thing was exactly the ancient technology that was very similar to a mobile phone, and it was also a gift given to him by his pen pal from the Snow Country.
Keqing took it out and then injected the element into the object again.
A piece of text appeared on it.
[What happened to you?]
Before Keqing could reach out to write with elemental power, another line of text came.
[Answer me quickly, if you are still alive.]
Keqing stretched out her hand and found that the other party had sent her many messages. However, because Keqing had experienced too many things in recent days, she had not paid any attention to this black thing, so she missed them all.
It was not until the other party seemed to use a large amount of elemental power to directly vibrate the communication device that it attracted Keqing's attention.
[What unlucky words are you saying? I'm fine.] Keqing replied immediately.
[Ah, everything is fine?]
[Then why did you reply to me only now?]
[Because I'm too busy]
Keqing found a reason to explain.
[I work at Liyue Port. You may not know what happened not long ago. I am basically unable to get away now.]
[Are you talking about the murder of Geo Emperor and the appearance of the Demonic Disaster in Liyue? ] the other party replied.
[Huh? How did you know?] Keqing was surprised.
[These things have spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, of course I know.]
The friend from the Snow Country who she hadn't contacted for a long time was still so cold, but because she had asked so anxiously before, Keqing also felt that the other party valued her.
[Don't worry, I'm fine. Now that Liyue is free of the threat of the demon god, it's safer here.]
[not necessarily.]
The other party replied: [You are just a small person, there is no need to participate in the vortex.]
A nobody? Who do you look down on?
Keqing curled her lips, but couldn't say anything. After all, the person she was communicating with was just a small civil servant at the Liyue Harbor dock. If she told her, this friendship across thousands of miles would probably end in unpleasantness.
And for the daughter of the boss of Zhidong National Coal, her identity is indeed considered a "little person".
[Don't worry about this, the vortex has been resolved.]
[I'm not referring to the Vortex Devil.]
[It's something else, something bad.]
[Is the "unforgettable love" I gave you still there?]
[What?] Keqing was puzzled. Why did this person speak in riddles?
[It’s that little white cat-like thing. You can call it “Zhixue”. The name doesn’t matter. As long as you don’t lose it, it’s fine.]
Keqing looked down at the small badge on her chest. It turned out that this thing was called "The Unforgettable Compassion of Snow". The name was a bit strange, but also quite literary.
[Yes, what's wrong?]
There was silence on the other end for a while, and then a message was sent.
[If, and I mean if, you are in danger of your life, hold her and call out my name.]
[Remember, if you encounter danger that threatens your life, do not try it out of curiosity, and do not tell others about it.]
[Afterwards if you are still conscious.]
[I've thought too much. You're not a big shot, so it's unlikely that you can hold on.]
[Okay, I have things to do, so I won’t chat with you for now. Remember to take care of yourself. The sea demons may die, but there will be some karma left. Don’t go out to sea if you don’t have anything to do. Try to stay at the dock. If you encounter any problems, go find Qixing, don’t go and investigate on your own.]
This guy sent a series of messages in a row, and Keqing was confused.
What do you mean he was in danger? He was still conscious. And why did he look down on people in the end?
However, Keqing still sorted out an important piece of information from the chaos.
[Wait, you didn’t tell me your name] How can I let her call me if I didn’t even tell her my name?
It seemed as if he was stumped by Keqing's question, and he seemed to be hesitating.
The other party paused for a moment and finally sent back a response.
[Sophia, my name.]
Chapter 134. Things Ganyu Likes
"Sophia..."
After putting the "cell phone" back into the bracelet, Keqing whispered the name.
This was the first time she knew the name of her friend from the Snow Country, and the name was also very...ordinary.
But on second thought, Keqing wondered if she had made some mistake in her expectations of her name.
Although Sophia is the daughter of a coal boss, she is indeed just an ordinary person compared to those wealthy or brutal executives in Dongzhi.
It is reasonable that the daughter of an ordinary coal boss has an ordinary name.
However, Sophia's series of strange words, which sounded like her mother's instructions, made Keqing wonder if she was frozen silly.
Keqing knew that although Sophia was the daughter of a coal boss, she was still working. She must be the kind of rich girl who couldn't sit still and found a job to teach in her company.
And as a winter person, she can't tolerate the severe cold very well and seems to always catch a cold.
Keqing asked her to customize a pair of warm gloves last time. Although she listened, she was a girl after all, and might have been spoiled by her coal boss.
Unlike Keqing, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood and is weak, it is normal for her to catch a cold again.
This is certainly not sarcasm, Keqing just thinks Sophia's physique is not good.
So Keqing had reason to believe that she might have a cold and fever this time, and her mind was confused, which was why she said these strange words.
However, when Keqing looked at the small white badge on her chest that looked like a kitten's head, she remembered something.
That was when she met the Fatui executive "Lady", the icy power released by the lady was like a tickle to Keqing.
At first, Keqing thought that the opponent was too weak.
But the Fatui executive officer is a capable subordinate of the Ice Queen, and the power in his body comes directly from the Ice God.
It is impossible for a lady like that to show mercy to Keqing.
That is, something has weakened the lady.
"Is this the thing?"
Looking at the small object in her hand, Keqing slowly clenched her palm and an idea popped into her head.
Would you like to try it?
Whether it is true or not, just try it and call out Sophia's name and you will know.
If nothing happens, it will prove that Sophia's brain is really out of control and she has become a middle school girl.
If something happens, it just proves Keqing's guess. The lady's vulnerable performance is not because she is weak, but because Keqing has a magic weapon.
Keqing closed her eyes and clenched her hands.
Then he opened his eyes again and pinned the thing back on his clothes.
When she closed her eyes, Keqing thought about it seriously again and decided to forget it.
Not to mention the serious damage that might be caused, she had to shout "Sophia!!" in this busy teahouse.
Then today, the Liyue Seven Stars will become a joke known to the whole city.
Moreover, after thinking about it, Keqing felt that only the possibility that this thing was indeed a treasure could explain why the lady was like a puppy that had not yet been weaned in front of her, unable to move when her neck was lifted.
But what Keqing can be sure of is that there is no fluctuation of elemental force on this thing.
This is also the reason why Keqing didn’t think it was a treasure when she received the gift.
Just wear it as a pendant.
But after Sophia said this, Keqing also suspected that this thing might not be an ordinary object.
The question is: Why did the daughter of the coal boss have this thing? And why did she make such a cautious instruction, as if she was worried about being exposed.
Could it be... that she stole this from the Winter Palace?
Keqing frowned, and the more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible.
This kind of treasure that can directly ignore the ice and snow power of an executive officer would most likely be placed in the Winter Palace.
She immediately decided to ask the person himself.
Keqing took out a long black object, injected elemental power into it, and then wrote on the surface and sent it.
[Are you there? ]
After waiting for a while, there was still no response. Sophia probably went out to do something.
Without the real answer, Keqing's guesses would be of little use.
She had no choice but to put on the small pendant called "Snow" again and wait for the other party's response before finding out the details.
……
The communication with Sophia lasted less than ten minutes, although it was a bit confusing.
But it also added a bit of comedy to Keqing's waiting, making it less boring.
After no one spoke, Keqing returned to enjoying the wind and the scenery. Looking at the sea of Liyue Harbor, Keqing's mood seemed to turn into the wind.
She suddenly felt as if she had become the sea breeze, blowing across thousands of sails, across the harbor, and drifting off into the distance.
For a moment she fell into a wonderful state. She could listen to the merchants bargaining at the harbor, and vaguely hear the rustling of leaves in the bamboo forest on Yujing Terrace, as if she could travel through every corner of Liyue Harbor with the wind.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and then Keqing's face was covered by a dark shadow.
It seemed as if someone was sitting opposite him, blocking the sunlight and the sea breeze.
Although she felt a little regretful to be woken up from that state because of being disturbed, Keqing also knew that no matter how wonderful it was, it was just another form of "daze".
The person in front of her is the reason why she came here.
If nothing unexpected happened, the former supreme ruler of Liyue, the faith in the hearts of thousands of Liyue people, would arrive as promised and stand before him.
After opening her eyes, Keqing looked up and was about to say hello to her, but when she saw the person opposite her, she was stunned for a moment.
There are a pair of red and black horns on the sky blue hair, and a tuft of adobo hair between the horns.
She had slender arms, a slim figure, and beautiful facial features, but now she looked a little embarrassed.
"Ganyu?" Keqing was surprised. "Why is it you?"
"Xian... um, Lady Keqing, hello." Ganyu said in a low voice, "Lady Zhongli asked me to come."
"She asked you to come?" Keqing frowned, "But I came to her because I have something important to ask her."
"My Lord said that I can help you solve your doubts."
"you?"
"Ah."
