Seeker of Teyvat

The thousand-year great music that enveloped Mondstadt responded,

An inexplicable melody echoed in the city of Mondstadt,

But no one can hear it,

Only Albedo raised his head slightly and glanced at the sky, then looked back at Tinari beside him, and continued to talk about the properties of medicinal herbs.

Beside Wendy, Wang Daoyi smiled slightly: "I'm looking forward to the direction of the story."

Stretching out his hand, his fingertips wavered slightly in the void, as if something was being triggered.

The wind brings the seeds of stories, and time makes them germinate.

After finishing his work, Wang Dao looked at the sun that was about to set and stretched.

"It takes time for the seeds to germinate. I'm going to go back first. When the flowers bloom, I'll come and see them."

After saying that, Wang Daoyi disappeared in mid-air, leaving only Wendy who was gently stroking the strings of the piano.

He didn't seem to care about Wang Daoyi's departure, and continued to gently pluck the strings of the zither.

But in the eyes with lowered eyebrows, there is unstoppable joy,

"Sure enough, my choice was right. He has already mastered a little bit of the power of time."

……

In the Cat's Tail Tavern,

Xiangling and Yunjin sat in a corner.

In front of them,

A little girl with a loli-like figure was holding a plate with two glasses of iced drinks on it.

"Hurry up, Xiangling and Miss Yunjin, try the new drink I made. This time I used sugar to improve the sweet flower, so it should be sweeter."

Diona was very happy about Xiangling's visit.

I immediately prepared my new drink for my friend.

Xiangling didn't hesitate to pick up a cup, then motioned to Yunjin to bring another cup.

"You're welcome, Yunjin. Diona loves everyone drinking the drinks she mixes."

Xiangling said.

Diona nodded vigorously, indicating that Xiangling was right.

As long as they don't drink alcohol, Diona is willing to mix the most delicious drinks for adults.

Unfortunately, the adults only wanted to drink, and no matter how hard she tried to mix a bad-tasting wine, she just couldn't succeed.

After drinking her 'special wine', the adults would 'provocatively' give Diona a thumbs-up to show that it tasted good.

To Diona, this was no less abominable than robbing her of her dried fish.

Yun Jin nodded, picked up another drink, took a sip, and then his eyes lit up: "It tastes good. I have never tasted such a delicious drink."

As a great opera master in Liyue, Yunjin has strict control over his diet, but he has been exposed to quite a few precious drinks.

As a master of opera, she cannot eat and drink as freely as ordinary people, but her ability to judge good from bad is better than that of ordinary people.

As soon as Yun Jin took a sip of Diona's special drink, he felt a sweet and clear spring water circling around his throat, washing away his fatigue from a day's running around.

After getting Yunjin's approval, Diona raised her little cat tail and the smile on her face became more obvious.

Unfortunately, before she could smile for a while,

There was cheering from the other side of the card table.

The guest from Xumi won again.

His opponent stood up depressed, and then shouted to Diona: "Diona, as usual, give everyone a glass of cider, and put it on my account."

Diona angrily glanced at the Sumeru man wearing a jackal hat.

It was that guy who, after arriving at the Cat's Tail Tavern, started betting on drinks.

Diona still remembers when this guy came,

He shouted arrogantly to the people playing cards in the pub: "If I lose, I will buy everyone in the pub a drink."

Then everyone started lining up to challenge this Sumeru man.

Of course, the people of Mond still have some dignity, and after losing a game, they will treat everyone watching to a drink.

Up to now, the Xumi people have never lost, but these rounds of drinking have made Diona very dissatisfied.

Originally, people didn't drink much after playing cards, but now they started betting on alcohol, and the sales of the Cat's Tail Tavern increased greatly.

If this continues, when will she be able to overthrow Mond Wine Industry?

However, although she looked like she was about to bite someone, Diona still went to get the wine.

After all, this is her job.

Wait until Diona comes back after delivering the wine.

Xiangling and Yunjin had finished their drinks.

"Well, now that you've finished drinking, I'll make more for you." Diona is a very hospitable person, which can be seen from this.

Xiangling quickly reached out to stop him: "No, no, one cup is enough, let's sit down and talk."

Yun Jin also nodded: "One cup is enough, I can't drink too much."

As an opera worker, Yun Jin needs to strictly control her beverage intake, and one glass is considered too much.

If she were in Liyue, she could only taste the flavor but would never be able to finish a cup.

The rejected kitten was a little disappointed, but didn't stay disappointed for too long. He sat down next to Xiangling and started talking.

"Xiang Ling, are you here to participate in the Wind Flower Festival this time?"

"Yeah, Brother Daoyi brought us here, saying there would be fun things to do at Mondstadt's Wind Flower Festival."

The kitten's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, the Windblume Festival is fun. Not only in Mondstadt, but also people from Qingquan Town and the surrounding areas will come to Mondstadt. During these few days every year, there will be many fun things in Mondstadt."

As he spoke, Kitty told Xiangling and Yunjin about the interesting things that happened at the Wind Flower Festival in previous years.

Xiangling and Yunjin were so fascinated by what they heard that they couldn't wait to experience it.

……

Mond Library,

A group of bards are looking up information here.

As the largest library in the northern continent, Mond Library's collection of books is still huge even after a fire.

It was here that Wang Daoyi completed his basic accumulation of many things.

And now this group of bards are also looking for various information here, hoping to provide inspiration for their creations.

Among the bards, there was a dark-skinned girl surrounded by them.

"This collection of Vanessa's stories is considered a treasure of the Mond Library. It is a collection of stories from the first generation, and most of the stories in it are reliable. It is unlike many story collections nowadays, which are adapted twice or even multiple times."

The bards carefully took an ancient book from the bookshelf and handed it to Xin Yan.

Xin Yan carefully opened the ancient book.

Then he was slightly stunned, revealing an embarrassed expression: "This... I don't know the words above."

As the first edition of Vanessa's story collection, this book is written in the ancient Mondrian language, which is completely different from the current common language.

The bards were also stunned,

The group of people looked at each other, then smiled bitterly: "Okay, then we will translate it for you."

Then a group of people began to translate for Xin Yan.

But the more Xin Yan listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

It’s not that the bards translated badly, but that the stories they translated were too straightforward.

Simply translating ancient texts into modern ones lacks the sense of "faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance" at all.

Although the story is still about resistance, Xin Yan just can't muster any interest in creating it.

The bards also noticed Xin Yan's frown and stopped translating in confusion.

"Ms. Xin Yan, is there any problem?" They thought they had translated it correctly.

Xin Yan nodded, then shook her head: "The translation is fine, I can understand it, but... the story seems a little too straightforward, not readable at all."

Like novels of the same theme,

Some people's writing is fascinating, making people constantly associate and full of inspiration.

Some people's writing is very pale, with assembly-line-like narratives that gradually kill the reader's interest.

It's the same story, but the outcome is completely different.

"Too straightforward..."

The bards were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up. They were all artists, so they naturally knew how damaging pale descriptions could be to art.

Although they knew the problem, the bards also felt troubled.

Although they all knew some ancient Mongols, the stories in the ancient books were the ones they translated. It was not an easy task to translate the stories without losing their original meaning.

This involves replacing and changing words in translation. If there were experts who specialized in the ancient language of Ancient Mond, it might be possible, but for a group of bards, it would be a bit difficult.

Xin Yan also saw the difficulty of the bards. She frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it difficult to translate?"

The poets smiled bitterly,

It is indeed a bit difficult to translate an old and pale narrative into today's language and give it new vitality.

The translation should express the meaning of the original text as much as possible.

We also need to make the language flow smoothly and express it in a natural way that is close to the current language.

It is also necessary to add interesting expressions to the story so that its original ancient narrative technique can be understood by modern readers.

Only by achieving these three points can the basis for adoption be met.

"We need a master of Old Mund," the bards said.

Then they looked at each other and wondered where such a person could be found in Mond.

Mondstadt is a free country, where people are as unrestrained as the wind.

Few people take the time to study the ancient Mundan language.

This kind of people usually only exist in some ancient aristocratic families.

The most basic thing is to liberate the first few families in Mondstadt:

For example, the family of the acting leader Jean, Gunhild.

For example, the family of Mr. Diluc, the owner of Mond Winery, Leggenfand.

For example, the Katzlein family of Qingquan Town.

Of course, there is also the Lawrence family, a family of sinners that the Mond people can never forgive.

If you want to find a master of ancient Mongolian translation, then the best way is probably to seek help from the acting leader Qin.

After all, the Leggenfend family currently only has one and a half members, one is Master Diluk, and the other half is Captain Kaeya.

As for why Kaia is half, it’s because Kaia was adopted.

The Katzlein family has been hunting for generations, and it seems that they don't have any writers.

As for the Lawrence family, it is naturally impossible for us to ask for their help. This is the bottom line.

Therefore, in the end, only the family of the acting leader Jean, Gunhild, could provide them with help.

"Ms. Xin Yan, it looks like we have to go look for Captain Qin."

The bard had no qualms about asking for help from Qin.

In other words, when most Mondstadt people encounter difficulties, they subconsciously want to seek help from the Knights.

The way to find the Knights Templar is to go find the acting leader Jean.
