Seeker of Teyvat

"Welcome, may I ask what the distinguished guests would like to receive?"

"Hand-ground coffee will do, one cup for each person, and we'll arrange a quiet seat for you." Wang Dao waved his hand and said.

The attendant bowed slightly to show that he understood, and then led everyone to their seats.

at the same time,

A blonde girl was looking at a middle-aged man in front of her in the lounge of a cafe. Next to them, there was a white floating object.

"Did you remember everything I said? Madah." Ying looked at the Xumi storyteller in front of him, feeling a little worried.

The middle-aged man nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, traveler, I have written down all the stories you told me. This time, I will definitely satisfy the customers."

The middle-aged man is a storyteller who lives in the coffee shop and usually relies on tips from the coffee shop's patrons to make a living.

Today, Ying returned to Xumi City from the desert and met this storyteller.

At his pleading, Ying told the storyteller about her experiences in other countries.

The other party will use these experiences as a template to create a story belonging to Ying.

That's why Ying cares about each other so much.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Ying and Paimon looked at each other and felt a little relieved.

In the cafe,

Wang Daoyi and everyone sat down.

"Please give each person some puff pastry, date honey, and part of the patisala pudding."

Wang Daoyi said to the attendants around him.

The servant showed his delight, this was really a big order, and then hurried off to work.

After the attendant left,

Wang Daoyi looked at his friends and said, "Coffee is a common drink in Xumi and Fontaine. A cup of high-quality coffee can make scholars more energetic in their studies. Well... just like the gentlemen in Tongwen Academy like to drink tea."

The friends were all a little curious, although it was not the first time they had heard of coffee as a drink, and some of them had even drunk it.

But drinking coffee in a cafe always has a different feeling.

It’s just like when people from other countries go to Liyue and drink tea in a teahouse.

Mainly novelty.

"Many Xumi people like to drink coffee every day and stay away from the days of fighting, especially some mercenaries. They have been fighting all their lives. When they reach retirement age, they like the peaceful environment here."

As everyone was listening to Wang Daoyi's words, they saw a man in a long robe walking to the center of the store.

Some guests around looked at the man and said, "Hey, Madah, you are not going to tell some old-fashioned stories today, are you?"

The storyteller was not annoyed by the embarrassment. Instead, he smiled and bowed to the other party: "That is not a clichéd story. It is a story about a great hero who is both civil and military."

He first defended his story, then smiled and bowed, making sure everyone in the store was looking at him: "However, I won't tell those stories today. I went to find the legendary hero and learned some of her past. Today, we will talk about stories from other countries."

The storyteller's words attracted the attention of everyone in the store.

After listening to the story of Xumi for a long time, suddenly a story about other countries comes along, and this sense of novelty arises.

"Okay, Madah, if you say it well, I'll treat you to coffee, the best coffee."

There are regular customers helping to liven up the atmosphere.

The storyteller immediately bowed to the other party and said, "You are the one who said that. Thank you in advance."

The other party also waved his hands, indicating that it was nothing.

When the atmosphere becomes warmer and the voices quieter,

The storyteller waved his hand and began to tell the legendary story of the traveler in Mondstadt.

“Ahem, the story I’m going to tell you today takes place in a distant foreign country.

Please listen to: [Poem of the Wind and the Dragon]

…The dragon had already arrived by then, and no one knew its true name.

Who can save Mond from danger, who can save the lives of the people here.

...The warrior walked with the wind, and the poet played the piano and hummed: Why guard for thousands of years and then abandon in a day, just because the poisonous blood in the abyss disturbed the dragon's heart.

…The evil wind ceases, and the poisonous blood is cleared.

Descendants of later generations, please do not forget his name. This poem is dedicated to Tewarin, the dragon of the east wind!"

In the storyteller's powerful words,

The story of the brave men saving the dragon echoes in the cafe.

Not only ordinary customers, but even the friends brought by Wang Daoyi were fascinated by the performance.

Only Xiangling, upon hearing this story, immediately recalled the time when Wang Daoyi and she were together in Mondstadt.

At that time, they accepted the invitation of the Knights and went to fight the Wind Dragon together.

It was also after that battle that she and Wang Daoyi gradually expressed their feelings to each other.

"Papa papa ~"

The fierce applause interrupted Xiangling's memories.

"Hey! This time the story is quite interesting."

“The character who is considered the villain actually has a helpless background... It is touching no matter what story it is in.”

The customers started discussing the story and expressed their opinions on the story of the Wind Dragon.

Several friends from Mond were even more excited. It always gives them a special sense of pride to be able to hear stories about their hometown in a foreign country.

Bennett, Fischl, and Diona all had gleams in their eyes. "That's a great quote. Even in Mondstadt's taverns, there are few bards who can speak better than him."

Xingqiu looked at Wang Daoyi and said, "I heard from Xiangling that you and Xiangling were also involved in this story, right?"

A legend in a legendary story was sitting right next to him, and this situation greatly inspired Xingqiu's creative spirit.

He even wanted to write a chivalrous story about a dragon.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly. "That was a story that happened a long time ago. At the time, Xiangling and I didn't know anything, so we went to Mondstadt together. I remember that Diona also met Xiangling at that time."

The kitten bartender put his hands on his hips and said, "Yes, as soon as Xiangling and I met, I knew we would get along well. In fact, we did become good friends."

Xiangling also nodded: "Yeah, Diona's cocktail-mixing skills are very sophisticated, and her use of ingredients is similar to my use of ingredients, so we became good friends right away."

"Hey, hey, hey, although the friendship between you is also enviable, I want to know more about how you defeated the Wind Dragon." Xingqiu interrupted Xiangling and Diona's memories.

The two girls rolled their eyes at Xingqiu unhappily, then snorted coldly and ignored this guy.

Wang Daoyi smiled and turned his gaze to the other side: "If you want to know, why not ask Ying."

Following Wang Daoyi's gaze, Xingqiu immediately saw two figures, one yellow and one white, standing next to the storyteller, seemingly talking about something.

Xingqiu smiled, stood up, and waved over there: "Ying, Paimeng~"

Ying and Paimon, who were being thanked, heard a familiar voice and turned around to see many of their friends sitting in a quiet corner of the cafe.

"Wow, so many friends."

"Wait, they didn't all hear the story just now."

Ying was very happy at first, but then she realized whether these people had listened to her story.

I felt ashamed when my family found out that I was writing a novel.

After saying goodbye to the storyteller beside him, and receiving the other's thanks, Ying took Paimon and walked towards his friends.

"Everyone, what a coincidence, why are you all here?" Paimon asked curiously.

"They came to attend the celebration of the Church of the Immortal. As the host, I invited them for coffee. I didn't expect to hear the story of the Wind Dragon here." Wang Daoyi looked at Ying and Paimeng and explained.

Ying felt a little relieved, as she was glad that she didn't come here just to listen to stories.

"Haha, I was adventuring in the desert with Jade a few days ago. When I came back today, I was stopped by Madah. He said he wanted to know about our past experiences, so I told him a little bit."

Ying also explained.

After all, there are two prototypes in the story of the Wind Dragon.

Xiangling and Wang Daoyi both smiled and didn't care.

"I ordered dessert, let's sit down and have some together." Wang Daoyi extended his hand to invite.

Before Ying could say anything, Paimon nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

She had already seen the table full of desserts and was extremely greedy.

Everyone enjoyed the food happily.

A wonderful afternoon tea and a nice legend.

A great afternoon was had by all.

After drinking wine, drinking coffee and having dessert,

Everyone looked at Wang Daoyi. He was undoubtedly the person with the highest status here. They had just had afternoon tea treated by him, so the next arrangements would naturally be decided by Wang Daoyi.

"Shall I make the arrangements? Ha, then let's go shopping together. The streets in the evening are the busiest time."

at dusk,

Workers, scholars, and other people are almost off work.

Countless people gathered on the bustling streets, making the place seem even more lively.

In the bustling crowd,

The ghost king with red horns on his head was looking at his deputy with an innocent face.

"Ninja, listen to me. This fruit was really given to me by Little Mushroom Head. I didn't take it from the stall."

Arata Ichito was holding a huge plump peach in his hand, which was obviously of top quality. Most fruit farmers would not eat this kind of peach and would only sell it.

Just now, Arotaki Ichito and Kuki Shinobu passed by a fruit stall, and in the blink of an eye, Arotaki Ichito had a fruit in his hand.

This made Jiuqi Shinobu suspect that his boss had taken the fruit from someone else.

Listening to Arotaki Ichito's sophistry (explanation), Kuki Shinobu frowned slightly. Emotionally, she was willing to believe Arotaki Ichito.

But rationally, Kuki Shinobu didn't believe that a little mushroom-headed person who was invisible to everyone gave Ara Taki Ito a good fruit.

Being looked at with suspicion by Kuki Shinobu, Arataki Ichito felt a little sad and angry. He was not very good at speaking, so his explanation sounded more like quibbling.

I wanted to find the little mushroom head, but I couldn't find it.

Until the searching eyes saw a familiar figure appear on the other side of the crowd.

"Hey, that's Brother Daoyi, haha, he can definitely prove my innocence."

Surprised, Arataki Ichito dragged Kuki Shinobu through the crowd and moved towards Wang Daoyi and others.

Chapter 574: Celebration Begins

Baoshang Street,

Busy street corner,

Wang Daoyi, who was leading a large group of friends, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Ling asked with some confusion.

Wang Daoyi twitched the corner of his mouth: "A friend is here."

Xiang Ling still wanted to ask, when she saw a tall figure in the crowd, with two red horns on his head, approaching the crowd.

"Oh, it turned out to be a fight. It seems that A Ren is here too." Xiang Ling covered her mouth and laughed, "Speaking of which, when the delegation disembarked from the ship, these two people disappeared. Unexpectedly We have already arrived at Sumeru City."

While talking,

Arataki Ito had already led Kuki-nin to the crowd.

"Haha, brother Daoyi, and everyone, long time no see."
