Yuanshin: The duty of the inspector is to eat melons

"Don't bother, I'll talk to him directly."

Just as Victoria was wondering what her boss was going to say directly, she saw the space beside her suddenly split open, and an eye wrapped in mist flew out of it, glanced at Victoria, and flew directly into the city.

Victoria: "!!!?"

The shocked and bewildered expression on her face was too obvious, and Tavernall felt a little happier seeing it.

A part of her consciousness was separated, and together with that eye, wrapped in a small cloud of dense fog, she flew towards the city hall while finding her way.

Puccinera is drinking water from the tea.

From time to time, staff from the city hall passed by and greeted him respectfully.

Pucciniera nodded in response to the others while watching the rising water line in the glass.

Suddenly, he heard a soft clicking sound coming from the side window.

Thinking it was a bird, he temporarily moved his eyes away from the water glass and turned to the window.

Through the glass, an eye wrapped in gray-white clouds met his gaze.

Yes, one, and only eyes.

The first thought that comes to mind is a blank space with nothing.

Then, a stream of information was transmitted from that eye through the eye contact.

It was very short, and immediately occupied Pucciniera's blank thoughts.

"Another nail of judgment is coming, and it's up to City Hall to appease the people."

There is also a signature at the end of the message.

"Tavernal—"

A white light reflected from Pucciniera's spectacles, "I see."

He doesn't seem to have much opinion on the strange messenger, or he has been in a high position for a long time, which has given Puccinera more expression management skills.

Puccinera looked out of the window with eyes that did not leave immediately, with a steady expression, "Is there anything else to say?"

That eye twisted, as if adjusting the perspective, "Also, your water glass is full."

Puccinera immediately felt the hot touch on his hand, and quickly removed the cup.With a shake of his hand, some hot water spilled out, scalding his eyelids.

Putting the cup aside calmly, Puccinera took a deep breath, as if to ease the predicament just now, and said again: "When will the transfer begin?"

"immediately."

The reply from that eye was brief and forceful, and Puccinela's face became solemn, and he immediately walked out of the tea room.

Chapter 248

It will take some time to wait for Pucciniera's reaction. Whether he intends to call the people of Winterfell to temporarily evade or inform them that what happens next will not be dangerous, it will take time.

Tavernar sat down on a relatively flat rock under the Nail of Judgment, and slowly waited for the news to come back.

The eye she sent out has been following Puccinera to ensure that she can always see the progress of the other party's preparations, but considering the existence of ordinary people, that eye is only waiting outside the windows of different rooms.

Therefore, every time Pucciniera looked out the window, he could immediately see the strangely shaped eyes staring at him without blinking.

Even if he is well-informed, it still does not allow him to have the illusion that his spirit has been eroded and gradually exhausted.

Pressing the strange hallucination, Pucciniera finally broadcast the news to the whole city, telling the residents to stay at home and not to go out, and not to be afraid when seeing strange things.

After the fifth notification, Pucciniella breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window.

"Okay."

Under his gaze, the eye moved up and down, as if in a nod, and then flew towards the sky, disappearing from Puccinera's sight.

In the layered rock abyss, Tavernall patted a little dust on his body, jumped lightly under his feet, was assisted by the wind to rise into the air again, and suspended in front of the nail of punishment.

After reminding Victoria to pay attention to his position, Tavernar repeated his old trick, and the huge [door] opened again.

Between the two heavens and the earth, at this moment, two 【doors】appeared at the same time like broken and split endless void spaces.

A huge shadow enveloped a corner of the sky above Winter City.

......

Accompanied by a loud noise that shook the heavens and the earth, another huge pillar was inserted into the river of Winter City, echoing the one that was there before.

The expatriate's eyes glanced at his masterpiece at high altitude for the last time, and returned to Tavernaar's hand along the [door] that was not completely closed.

"Call work." Tavernaar swept through this hollow underground, and after losing the nail of punishment, the only light source had already been extinguished, and the surrounding was so dense that darkness could not be seen.

She was about to go back and forth, glanced casually, and happened to catch a glimpse of a strange shimmer of light slowly wriggling in the cave that was originally located directly under the Nail of Judgment.

Tavernaar immediately turned back and came to the entrance above the deep pit.

Her eyes, which were constantly opening and closing between the silver-white hair, have not yet been closed, and her eyes go straight to the ground. After searching intentionally, she saw something in the depths as a matter of course.

Her expression sank, like frozen lake water, with a chill.

The figure jumped down and fell to the bottom of the deep pit at an extremely fast speed.

Just before hitting the bottom, Fengchang supported her under her feet, and she landed safely and walked forward quickly.

What finally appeared in front of Tavernal and attracted her attention was a lump of black-purple mud with a diameter of four meters that had condensed into a block, and a layer of light-colored brilliance was still surging on the surface.

Tavernaar's approach made the silt move, just like before, these underground filth seemed to frighten her deeply.

As the silt wriggled independently, a human thigh was accidentally exposed, and the silt released a small amount of liquid, trying to wrap the leg up again.

Tavernall's further approach interrupted this process. In the current situation, avoiding Tavernall seems to be more important than "food".

As a result, the silt rushed towards the dark darkness ahead at a faster speed, and in the process, more and more contents were continuously exposed.

That's one person after another.

At this moment, they have already passed away, and the bodies left behind were transported drop by drop by the silt to the depths of the ground, becoming the nourishment of the silt.

Most of them wore the uniform of the Fools, and the rest were some Limoon miners.

Tavernaar stared at these corpses that had been mostly eroded, only a small amount of skin and flesh stuck to the bones, and the clothes were severely corroded.Most of the miners were the victims of the initial mutation of the stratum abyss, and the soldiers of the fools were the special teams who came to rescue the black disaster later.

Today, the last traces of them, who have long been missing, have finally been found.

Tavernaar raised his wrist, revealing the light feather bracelet on it.

"Columbia, are you free?"

The girl's soft feathery voice quickly came back from there, "I've been here all the time, what are you doing this time?"

Tavernaar's eyes were silent, "I hope to borrow a little flame from you to send the children who traveled far away to return home."

A little scorching heat came from the wrist, and the surface of the feather ignited a layer of flames, but it didn't really burn the feather itself, nor did it hurt Tavernaar. .five

"Take it and use it. Children who leave their hometown should always come back... Then Tavernaar, when will you go home?"

The girl's voice gently coiled around her ears, neither malicious nor expectant, like the most common inquiry.

"It won't be too long." Tavernaar answered her, stretched out his index finger and thumb to twirl the flame attached to the feather, and then the flame burst out in her palm, and the overall size expanded several times.

A stream of water flowed from her other hand, and the water blue rune could still be seen lighting up on her arm.The current of water washed away the sludge that had been added to the pile of bones, separated them, and lined them up on the ground.

The water flow dissipated, and the flames covered every corpse. Soon, only piles of ashes were left.

The fire borrowed by Columbia burns much cleaner than ordinary flames, and there are not many ashes in each pile.Tavernaer created rock creations one by one to seal the remains of these people. In the end, dozens of winds rolled up together, restrained them, and sealed the lids.

Opening the [door] on Victoria's side casually, Tavernall handed over some of the ashes belonging to the Fools.

"Part of the people under Rooster, the company under the Layer Rock Abyss, are all here."

Asking Victoria to hand over these to Puccinera, Tavernall also used the wind to wind up the remaining urn, carried it with him, and then turned and left the pit.

All the way back to the outside of the layered rock abyss along the previous road, she took the ashes urns that had been floating beside her and headed towards Liyue.

Finally, she came to the door of the Hall of Rebirth.

"Is it going to be handed over to the hall master? The hall master is not here, and the identity information of the deceased is..."

"As for the specific identities of the people who disappeared underground in the layered rock abyss, when I found them, there were only bones left." Tavernaar looked at the other party and seemed a little embarrassed, "That place is too dangerous, take someone to confirm Unrealistic things like identities and skeletons, I just brought them out by the way,"

"But this..." The people in the funeral home were still a little embarrassed. After all, if anyone could bring unidentified ashes to ask for burial at the Pastoral Hall, there would be a big loophole in security.

"I'll do it." A steady voice sounded from behind

It's Zhongli.

Chapter 249 The Man of Destiny

Tavernaer followed Zhongli with the urn into the Hall of Rebirth.

After briefly explaining the matter of the ashes, and seeing that Zhongli nodded in approval, Tavenal waited for a while, and saw that Zhongli had nothing to say, so he prepared to leave.

Seemingly seeing her next plan, Zhongli blocked what Taverna was about to say with words before Taverna spoke.

"The changes in you are very different from before."

Zhong Li sat behind the table, staring at Tavenal with his golden eyes, his eyes saw not only the appearance, but also the deeper essence.

Deeper exploration and thinking surged silently in his eyes, but his surface remained unmoved, sitting there forming a world of his own.

After a few seconds, Tavenal's thoughts became more and more serious, and his voice was as usual: "I just remembered something, Mr. Zhongli has good eyesight."

Their expressions could be called calm and composed, even though each knew the other's identity, they didn't mention it at the moment.

"The temperament is more stable." Zhongli smiled slightly, "This is a good thing."

Tavernaar didn't know whether the good thing he said meant personality or memory recovery, or both, so he nodded his head to agree.

At this moment, Zhong Li stretched out his hand to draw aside, "Goodbye old friend, there's no such thing as standing up and reminiscing about the old days, please relax a bit, and treat it as a normal conversation with the hall master."

Tavernaer pulled the chair and sat down, Zhongli nodded in satisfaction, and continued:

"Memory is the burden of time, but also the gift of time. Judging by your appearance, you are not completely lost in the memories of the past. I am quite happy to see you next time. You can see the tenacity of my heart.".

"Mr. Zhongli is absurd. I just put down those complicated thoughts for the time being, and I am far from being able to accept them freely." Tavernall shook her head. She has always regarded those recovered memories as novels. , the useful knowledge is temporarily used, and the complicated part is only selectively accepted.

It's just that every time she uses her original power, the recovered memory will temporarily occupy her mind, which will have an irreversible impact on her current personality.

However, she is no longer confused about this point. After the memory fusion, she is of course still her. The change of character does not happen overnight. Such a process is not considered to obliterate her now.

It's as if who you are today is the sum of all you in the past.

"No need to be modest, what I said is not a compliment, but what I say from the bottom of my heart." Zhong Li reached out to pick up the teapot on the table and poured half a cup for each of them, "I also belong to the category with a good memory. Now, I have to admit that the heavy The wear and tear of my memory has gradually revealed a concrete form, and it is really not easy to maintain myself and follow my heart amidst this."

"Abrasion?" Tavernaar deliberately asked back. This was the first person Tivat talked about with her about wear and tear. Although she probably knew the concept of wear and tear, she still pretended not to know it at the moment.

Zhong Li took this point into her eyes deliberately, and gave another chuckle, but he didn't expose it directly, but explained it seriously: "Wearing and tearing is the iron law imposed by the laws of heaven on all living beings and all things. It gradually loses its original appearance through wear and tear.”

Your words seem to be cursing yourself, but people who will hold their own funerals don't mind... Tavernaar secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface he showed a serious expression of listening.

Zhong Li continued: "However, there is no trace of wear and tear on your body. Maybe this is the person with strange bones often mentioned in Liyue's stories. I think there will be some adventures in the future."

"Mr. Zhongli told me about these things beyond the knowledge of mortals, so you are not worried at all?" Tavernaar said and glanced at the sky, implying something.

Zhong Li sipped his tea with a calm look on his face, "I'm no longer the Rock God of Sky Island. I can't say much outside of the contract. I already said half of what I said before."

"Then the remaining half, is it convenient for you to continue?" Tavernaar sat up a little bit.

"Hmm..." Zhongli murmured, "The history you have seen may be just a part of the long river of time, go and witness it, man of destiny."

After speaking, he fell silent, as if waiting for something.

Tavernal only felt that something exploded in his ear, like the bottom of a bottle full of water was shattered, and the liquid sealed in it flowed out.

In a trance, various images flashed before her eyes.

Wendy, Zhongli, General Thunder, Naxida...the figures of the four gods flashed in front of her eyes one after another. These were obviously memories that she had personally experienced, but they were actually a little strange at this moment.

The shadow that was originally suppressed under the appearance on Tavernaar's body began to shake, struggling to float up to the real world.

After a while, her frown gradually relaxed, and her spirit was a little listless.

"You...in a sense, it's Liyue's immortal empowerment method. What's the key word, man of destiny?" Tavernar muttered to himself, as if asking, but didn't Don't expect an answer.

Zhongli and Tianli signed some kind of contract, so what can be said is limited. Now that he has lost the heart of Yanshen, his restraint has been reduced, but as long as it involves the contract that she doesn't know, what can be said is limited.

Sure enough, Zhong Li didn't go any further on this point, and Qing Piao Piao changed the subject: "Little friend knows a lot about Li Yue's legends, and I think I usually read those popular novels on the market."

"That's right, I read a novel called "The Journey of the Emperor Dust" before, and it was quite interesting. I'm a little curious, did you really have a female incarnation back then?" Tavernaar's eyes were slightly bent, and his courage became fatter. stand up.
