What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

"Then...what is 'Heart of God'?" Because it sounded related to 'Eye of God', Ying was a little concerned.

Ying is not stupid. The 'Eye of God' that Zhong Ling gave her is obviously fake, and she also has an 'Eye of God' on her sleeve.

But Ying discovered one thing.

Whether it is Jean or Diluk, when releasing elemental power, the elemental power is guided out from the "Eye of God".

After all, when fighting against Tevarin, Ying had been trying to find the flaws in Tevarin's attacks through the special "elemental vision".

And she had observed in this way that Zhong Ling's elemental power was emitted directly from his body, not from the 'Eye of God' on his sleeve.

And Wendy's elemental power is also emitted in this way.

So Ying cares a lot about this.

"'Heart of God', just like what it literally means, it's the heart of God." Wendy said with a smirk.

"Ah hey! Stop saying things that are obviously lies!" Paimon shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay." Wendy spread his hands. "You all already know something about the 'Eyes of God', they are the 'external magic organs' that allow people to communicate with elemental forces. In fact, every owner of the 'Eyes of God' is qualified to become a god, so they are called [Original Gods] and have the qualifications to board the 'Sky Island'."

"What 'Sky Island'?" Ying tilted her head.

"Look." Zhong Ling looked up at the sky, then raised her hand and pointed. "That's 'Sky Island'. Ying just needs to simply understand it as the residence of God."

Of course, 'Sky Island' is by no means that simple, and Zhong Ling's answer has almost nothing to do with the facts.

Zhong Ling just doesn't want Ying to be involved so widely.

"Yes, that's right." Wendy smiled and glanced at Zhong Ling, then nodded casually, skipping the topic. "In short, gods don't need a primary organ like the 'Eye of God'. The magic organ of gods is naturally the 'Heart of God'."

"So that's how it is." Ying nodded in understanding.

"Then Wendy, now that you no longer have the 'Heart of God', you can no longer use elemental power?" Paimon blinked.

"Paimon, doesn't Wendy still have the 'Eye of God' on her waist? Without the advanced magic organ like the 'Heart of God', wouldn't it be better to use the primary one instead?" Ying said, looking at the 'Wind-type Eye of God' on Wendy's waist.

"What are you talking about? It's just a glowing glass bead." Wendy shook the 'Eye of God' on her waist.

"Eh?! So Wendy can't use elemental power now?!"

"That's not the case, it's just that my divine power has been greatly weakened. Now I probably can't even beat Ying." Wendy said with a bitter face.

"Are you trying to say that I'm weak?"

"Hey~"

"Hey, what does that mean?"

After a conversation, Ying roughly figured out some of the things she needed to know.

But more confusion also came with it.

Ying can only hope that she can get some answers when she reaches the next country.

"Well, I've said most of what I can say." Wendy yawned.

It was obvious that he didn't intend to say anything more.

"That's great. I don't have anything else to ask." Ying stretched. "Should I take this opportunity to ask a few questions about Miss Zhong Ling..."

Ying still hasn't figured out Zhong Ling's identity.

Although she doesn't think it matters much, she still cares a lot!

"It's still early. If we go back to the city directly, there seems to be nothing to do." Now that the communication with Wendy has ended, let's plan the next itinerary.

There is still one month left until the 'Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals'.

If one were to travel from Mondstadt to Liyue Harbor, the distance of thousands of miles would take a long time to cover.

But there is no need to worry, after all, flying is faster than running.

Moreover, after Ying obtained the long sword that Wendy called [Sharp Teeth that Pierces the Sky] and then simply called [Sky Blade] by Ying, Ying now has the ability to fly directly on the wind. Although this way of flying is difficult for ordinary people to learn, Zhong Ling believes that Ying can learn it in a short time.

As for how to learn... Zhong Ling knows.

Throughout the ages, Liyue's magic has undergone countless changes. Zhong Ling is best at the art of talismans, and she is not good at other magics... but this is only compared with the immortals who specialize in a certain magic.

"Although we have been in Mondstadt for several days, we don't seem to have been outside the city of Mondstadt." Zhong Ling said to Ying.

"Ying... Shall we go for a walk together?"

I learned from a book yesterday that I do like Ying a little, and from our previous conversations, it seems that Ying doesn't hate me.

Then speed up the process and make yourself fall in love with Ying as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the relationship between them is not deep when they get married, it will be a harm to her, which is not good.

I had done something wrong and felt sorry for Ying, but when I tried to take responsibility it ended up causing harm... This is not okay!

So you should interact more with Ying to deepen your relationship.

And...the heart-pounding feeling I had the night before last, when I think back on it now, it wasn’t a bad feeling.

Based on various factors, Zhong Ling believed that she really liked Ying.

This is the best outcome.

"Walk around? Where to go?" Ying didn't refuse.

This is an invitation from the beautiful Zhong Ling, how can I refuse?

"Hey? Are you guys going to play? Take me with you~" When Wendy heard that they were going to play, she hurried over, wanting to experience the feeling of being knocked away by Zhong Ling.

"I've seen a map. There's a small town outside Mondstadt called Qingquan Town." Zhong Ling simply ignored Wendy's existence. "There are many hunters in Qingquan Town who make a living by hunting."

"There is a famous 'Qingquan Wild Boar' near Qingquan Town. Let's go and give it a try."

"Miss Zhong Ling knows so much." Ying said with admiration.

"Because I have been thinking about whether I can go there with Ying since yesterday, so I spent a long time checking the map and other things." Zhong Ling said with a normal expression.

"...Ah, this?" The sudden words caught Ying off guard.

"I originally wanted to go to Cape Lookout, Mingguan Gorge, and Wind Dragon Ruins with Ying, but Ying is a traveler and has probably seen a lot of things, so the scenery may not be so attractive to Ying... So I thought, let's go eat something delicious."

"Ms. Zhong Ling, have you thought so much about this?" Ying asked in shock. "If it were me, I would just close my eyes and pick a place at random."

"That won't do." Zhong Ling shook her head seriously. "This is the first time Ying and I are going out for a proper trip. It's a shame that it's not in Liyue, but even in Mondstadt, we can't just pick any place."

"Is that so?" Ying pursed her lips. "Sure enough... it's really heavy!"

Maybe it was Ying's misunderstanding before, but after the confession the day before yesterday, Ying really couldn't deceive herself with the idea that "Ms. Zhong Ling is not an ordinary person, how could she like me, and we have only known each other for a few days."

"Okay, okay, Paimon loves delicious food the most!" Paimon clapped his hands vigorously.

"Well done, Paimon!" Ying felt for the first time that Paimon, who couldn't read the air, could be quite useful sometimes.

A.6④ Xiangling

"The air here feels very good." Ying suddenly said not long after entering the 'Qingquan Town' area.

"Well, the water element in 'Qingquan Town' is more active than in ordinary places, but not excessive. Such an area is very suitable for living." If a person is surrounded by excessive elemental forces for a long time, the human body will be polluted by the elemental forces.

Ordinary humans cannot withstand such elemental forces and will develop corresponding diseases.

Stones, dryness, heat, heavy moisture, etc...

Therefore, humans cannot live in such places for a long time.

Slightly active elemental forces can bring a more comfortable living environment.

For example, if the fire element is more active, the room will be dry and warm, and it will not be easy to grow mold...

The active water element in Qingquan Town can make people feel the air is fresh.

Of course, these are all relative.

"So that's how it is." Ying nodded and looked around. "Huh? What is that?"

Suddenly, Ying caught a glimpse of a figure quietly hiding in the bushes.

Because it is not very big, it can hide well.

But the clothes he was wearing were bright colors, so he was very conspicuous even when hiding in the green bushes.

"It should be a hunter." Zhong Ling looked not far away, where there were a few wild boars wandering around.

"Hey, you guys~" Suddenly, the hiding figure spotted them, fearing that they would disturb the wild boar if they walked forward. "Come here, come here quickly."

Her voice was very soft, obviously because she was worried that the wild boar would hear it.

"Hmm?" Ying and Zhong Ling looked at each other, then nodded and walked towards the girl.

"Hey, hello." The girl stood up and waved at them. "I'm hunting. I've heard that Mond has a lot of good ingredients."

"Hunting? Well... the wild boars in Qingquan Town are really good, but your accent is that of a Liyue person, so this is considered poaching, right?" Zhong Ling looked at the girl, and then his eyes gradually slid down to the girl's waist. 'Hmm? Is there anyone in Liyue who still remembers Marcosius?'

The puppet on the girl's waist is obviously the legendary 'Kitchen God' of Liyue.

Most of the people in Liyue now believe that the legendary "Kitchen God" is Morax, but this is not the case.

The real "Kitchen God" is someone else, but later this "Kitchen God" disappeared from people's sight for various reasons.

As time went by, people believed that the 'stove' was born from rock, so [King of Rock] Morax was the 'stove god'.

The real 'God of the Hearth' is [Demon of the Hearth] Marcosius, who was born from the sparks produced by the collision of stones.

In that era, Morax was not the most beloved person in the world. He was not even ranked in the top three.

One is the final death of the [Demon of Dust] who serves as the link between immortals and mortals.

The second one is [Demon of the Hearth] Marcosius.

Moreover, the two are completely different. Although Guizhong is close to the people, she is a leader after all. People love her but also keep a certain distance from her.

Gui Zhong never forced these things. After all, she was a leader, and it would be bad if she was really that close to the people.

But Marcosius was different. He transformed himself into many clones and entered thousands of households to help make fire and cook, and to help people reunite.

Moreover, Marcosius has a round and cute appearance, soft hair, and a clone the size of a child. He is the favorite companion of children in every household.

At that time, the one who accompanied the children the most was not their parents, but Marcosius's clone.

He watched his children grow up, start families, get married and have children, and then continue to take care of their children's children, for thousands of years.

At first, people were somewhat afraid of this newly born demon.

Because all demons, gods and immortals are superiors and leaders to ordinary people.

As time went on, the Makosius became a favorite 'family member'.

Yes, when all the immortals and gods are superiors, only Marcosius is regarded as a family member by mortals.

"Poaching?" The girl, who had never thought of this, widened her eyes when Zhong Ling said this. "This..."

"If we only catch one or two, we can just pay the villagers in Qingquan Town and everything will be fine, right?" Paimon tilted his head.

"That won't do." Zhong Ling shook her head. "Taking something without asking is stealing, even if you are compensated later."

Although Zhong Ling's tone was calm, the meaning of her words was very serious.

"Thief" is a very, very bad name, especially in the earlier times when everyone was very poor.

If you are caught stealing at this time, you may be beaten to death.

"Hmm..." The girl shrank her neck. The girl in front of her didn't look much older than her.

But when she said this, I felt like I was being scolded by an elder.

How should I put it... I always feel that if I don't listen to her, I will immediately have to eat a meal of 'stir-fried meat with bamboo sticks', and I feel very guilty.

"Also, judging from the surroundings, this should be the habitat of wild boars. If they are frightened, they will run to other places and may never come back."

"Although they are 'wild boars', strictly speaking there is no such thing as 'who they belong to', but after all they are one of the prey that the hunters of 'Clear Spring Town' rely on for their survival. It is best not to break the rules here."

"Without rules, there can be no order." In Liyue, rules are the most important thing.

"Ah? That won't do." The girl shook her head vigorously. "If he runs away... that would be a shame."

"The town is not far away. Let's go to the town and ask the hunters of 'Clear Spring Town'."
