"The old woman just said that I am more talented in divination than her, but I am probably not as good as her." Mona felt a little embarrassed.
“No, no, no, although you are much weaker in knowledge and strength, if we only talk about divination, there are not many people in Teyvat who can compare with you.
This piece of paper was specially made by me using the shielding magic. If you sign your name in the middle where the signature was originally located, it will become a contract of sale.
But after divination, you actually signed in the blank space on the lower right corner, so this piece of paper will become a real contractual labor contract."
The three women were a little speechless about this move.
"If Mona signs her name in the middle, won't she still have to sell herself?" Paimon reacted.
"Paimon, if Mona signs her name in the middle, it means that Mona is just an ordinary astrologer. Liyue will just have one more person with special skills, and her salary will be much lower.
Now that she has proven her strength, Liyue will provide more support to fully support her and protect her safety.
There is a kind of people in this world whose attitude towards things is pathological: if they cannot obtain something, they must destroy it within their control.
What kind of life do you think Mona, an astrologer with an absurdly high success rate in divination, will face? In fact, Mona herself knows it, by divination of the people around her, she can infer her own situation: she will be killed in the future. "
Ying and Paimon took a deep breath. Could this be the result?
"Will Mona be killed in the future?" Paimon looked at Mona, but Mona's magic hat covered her face.
"This is just my guess. I sent people to inquire about her whereabouts a few years ago. Her master is no ordinary person. He protected her very well, so my people returned empty-handed.
The reason why they released her this time was probably because they predicted something and let her live in the 'free' Mondstadt, hoping that she could be happier, or maybe they wanted to get some support from Liyue.
To give a simple example, Mona was captured by the Lawrence family to tell fortunes for them. Lawrence relied on Mona's divination to become bigger and stronger, and could even predict who would defeat him, allowing the Lawrence family to take the initiative.
Once Lawrence's opponents knew that there was such a person who could predict the future with incredible accuracy, countless hidden knives would be waiting for her."
"It is precisely because fate cannot be changed, cannot be defied, and can only be accepted that it is called fate." Mona muttered softly.
"So, what are the three people in front of you?"
"Yes... it's a variable..."
"It's not that fate cannot be changed, but it requires strong external intervention. Life is short, and life and death are a cycle. Rather than accepting fate, the most important thing is not to bow to it.
Divination and other techniques have existed in Liyue since ancient times, and their origins may even be earlier than the water-based astrology you have learned. But they have not become mainstream in Liyue. Do you know why?
Because, we Liyue people never accept our fate. If you accept your fate, you will reach the top of the He level, and you will never cross the Xian level to change your fate.
A huge flood will submerge the entire continent of Teyvat. How do you think Liyue will be different from other countries?
Other countries would build large ships and take a small number of people and goods on board. When the flood came, they would leave it to fate. Whether other people in their own country lived or died had nothing to do with them. After surviving the flood, they would tamper with history and beautify the information of escaping by boat.
As for us in Liyue, we will use all our national strength to build a huge dam to protect the entire Liyue. We will use various methods to tame the flood and suppress the disaster under the unity of Liyue. This is our attitude towards fate.
As an astrologer, you should not be bound by these so-called predetermined destinies. Only by jumping out of them can you discover the ultimate truth of the world hidden in the false starry sky that you are looking for. "
"Fake starry sky? I think the old woman also said so. What's going on?" Mona noticed these four very special words.
"You are a little kid who has never experienced much. You should first complete your training journey!" Lin Zixuan placed the small wooden box in front of her. "Now that you have Liyue as your backing, your destiny has already quietly changed."
"Gurgle..." A tiny kid's stomach sounded the alarm.
Lin Zixuan looked at his watch. It was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon. What a punctual alarm!
"Is it this late? I'll treat you to a meal at the best restaurant at the Shimen border."
"Great!!!" Paimon, who had been wilting, regained his vitality.
"By the way, Xuanyuan Trading Company has recently established a cooperative relationship with some restaurants in Mond. If you are too busy to cook for yourself, you can use the Black Crystal Card to go there and have a meal. Especially Mona, you are still growing up, don't always go hungry."
"Mona? Mona, what's wrong with you?" Paimon saw Mona, whose eyes had lost their luster after she opened the water divination plate.
"Wow! Give me back my destiny!" A crystal tear flowed down his cheek.
"What did Mona predict?" Question marks appeared above Ying and Paimeng's heads.
"Maybe I'm too happy?" Lin Zixuan didn't know what she had predicted.
"150 pounds! I can't live anymore!"
! ! ! ! ! !
It seems that Ying and Paimon are the only ones who can comfort her on this topic.
Lin Zixuan remembered a scene in an anime where a red bean turned into a sweet potato.
She was supposed to live a poor life in Mondstadt, but after being sponsored by Liyue, she can eat and drink as much as she wants with the Black Crystal Card. In addition, she has not grown up yet, so it is easy for her to gain weight. Let her go to the Qilin who successfully lost weight to learn from him!
At night, there was a knock on the hotel door.
"It's you! Ying, please come in."
"Excuse me for disturbing you. It's so late. Are you still awake?"
"This body is already in a state where I can't sleep without using magic, so I usually just need to take a nap. What's the matter?"
"Can't you tell me more about my brother?"
“I’m sorry, although I know some information, the news about your brother has been basically blocked by the Seven Gods, and the Seven Gods know more than I do.
What is your brother going to do? What is he planning to do? Please witness it yourself, sort out the information yourself, and then get the answer from the bottom of your heart. "
"But, after traveling all this way, everyone knew it, but they just didn't say it. This feeling is really uncomfortable."
"Hmm... It does feel a bit unpleasant. Then come with me to the Salt of the Earth. The reason they don't tell you is actually very simple."
Next to the Salt of the Earth teleport point, there is a piece of open space that has been plowed many times.
"What are we doing here?" Ying looked at the sunken space in front of her. She turned around and found that Lin Zixuan had disappeared.
A woman with dark purple hair, a kimono, and a perfect figure appeared in front of him, holding a casket-shaped star-killing weapon. The woman walked slowly past Ying, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
"At this time, we should say: Even if the sky is clear, it cannot conceal the majesty of thunder. Even if it does not rain, the thunder can still fall...right!" (Female voice)
"What are you doing like this?" Ying asked curiously as she saw Lin Zixuan turning into another person.
"It's just a little special training. Nothing is more convincing than fighting. Although I'm not good at using a spear or fighting.
But after increasing her thinking speed by 2 times and her reaction speed by 1.5 times, she can still show some of her strength no matter how bad she is. Don't worry about me getting hurt, just do your best to cut me." (Female voice) A purple halo appeared behind the woman.
"Special training? Okay." Ying also took out the Black Rock Sword.
"The glory is unforgivable!!!"
......
After the battle, Ying was leaning on the Black Rock Sword, breathing heavily and looking like he was about to fall to the ground at any time.
"This is only 30% of her normal form's strength, and you can't hold on. Her strongest form hasn't been revealed yet. I have many flaws and loopholes in performing these skills, but she won't make such mistakes."
You know, this is the first time he has seen a kill. Ying has never seen any of Lei's moves before, so it's not easy for her to hold on until now.
Lin Zixuan looked at the white line on his arm. No wonder he became the one who refuted Lei's movie. His martial arts were really strong. His attack was completely blocked by her. On the contrary, he made a mistake and was hit by her. Fortunately, the shield blocked it. The high-tempo battle quickly exhausted her physical strength, so she looked victorious.
"Who is she you are talking about?"
"You will meet this person later. Do you understand now? The gap between you and your brother is so big that he doesn't want you to get involved at all.
When a person spends hundreds of years doing something, it will be ineffective to communicate through family affection or language.
Your brother has traveled a lot, left a lot of marks, and seen the whole world. When you follow his footsteps, at the end of the journey, you can have common topics with him.
Now you have neither the power to refute him nor anything to talk about with him, so he will always avoid you. Even if you meet, it will be as fleeting as a bubble. "
"I understand." Ying smoothed out her breathing from the high-paced battle.
"Don't worry. I'll let you know once I find any clues about your brother. Do you want me to carry you back? I think you're running out of energy."
"Get out!" Ying grabbed the necklace around her neck that could restore her physical strength and activated it.
"Oh no, what a mistake. I thought I could take a rare photo." Lin Zixuan regretted it very much. The rare photo of General Lei Dian holding Ying in his arms was gone.
Will we then create an opportunity for Lei Dianying to go and hug him personally?
Chapter 149 Chatting about Mond
"Ying, wake up, the sun is shining on your butt!" Paimeng finished washing up and saw that Ying had not gotten up yet.
"Well, I'll sleep a little longer. Last night's battle was really tiring." Ying turned over, rolled up the quilt and curled up.
"Fight? Hey, explain it clearly before you go to sleep!"
Seeing this, Paimon had to go out alone to have breakfast. In the restaurant downstairs, he saw Mona and someone else having breakfast.
"You big bad guy, why haven't you left yet?"
"Why should I leave? I'm planning to go to Mondstadt as well. Since we're going the same way, it's only natural for us to go together, right?"
"I don't think it's on the way at all. You can use that noisy thing to fly to Mondstadt quickly, right?" Paimon spread his hands.
"My planes have been requisitioned! In the battle at the beginning of the year, those planes were damaged to varying degrees, and many are still under repair in the hangar. There are a lot of places in Liyue that need to be rebuilt now, and the ironworks are already very busy.
Ningguang meant that since they were all broken, they could just repair the ones that were still usable and use them as training aircraft. After this busiest period was over, they could build a batch of the latest versions.
Then Ye Lan said that she wanted to maintain the training volume of Qianyan Air Force, and Ningguang requisitioned my mount. "
"That makes so much sense that I'm speechless." Paimon picked up the plate and went to the self-service counter to get some food.
"Is it one of those that can fly in the sky?" Mona's eyes sparkled. "Will sitting on it bring us closer to the stars?"
"Well, according to common sense, yes."
"Since I've joined Liyue, can I have one too?"
"Not possible at the moment, but you can ask the Qianyan Air Force to take you up there for a stroll. After all, these planes are really expensive, far from being comparable to those crystal cars."
"Someone in Fontaine copied your plane. I heard it crashed on the day of the test flight. Plus, the steam boiler exploded and killed more than a dozen people. There has been no news since then."
"It's normal. A successful invention is always accompanied by failure. Failure doesn't mean giving up. The remaining members of the team have already entered Liyue and are at Wangshu Inn, staring at the sky above Mingyun Town every day."
"Aren't you going to stop them?"
"Why should we stop you? It's easy to create an appearance, but the real technique is the most important thing. I can also learn to make a wooden divination plate like you, but do I know your real divination technique?" Lin Zixuan drew an identical green divination plate in front of Mona.
Mona looked at the imitation green divination plate and found dozens of errors on it. "So that's how it is. I understand. In Liyue's words, it's called: only form, right?"
"Hey, the big bad guy can also tell fortunes?" Paimon floated over with a full plate of food.
"Not at all. Although I envy the cool posture of other immortals who can tell fortunes with their fingers, divination is still too difficult for me. It will take me a long time to learn it if I don't have talent." Lin Zixuan dispersed the green divination plate in front of him.
"You're going to Mondstadt, aren't you planning to do anything bad again?" Paimon picked up a bun with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Well, I'm going to do something terrible. I'm going to turn Mondstadt upside down."
"!!!!!!"
"Cough...cough...cough..." Lin Zixuan gently patted the choking Paimeng and handed her a glass of water.
"It's not something that can't be discussed. Mondstadt also wants to build a road, and they have seen the benefits of this cement road that runs through Liyue. This cement road has also withstood the test of nearly 10 years.
The courageous leader of the Qin Band had talked to Ningguang several times, but nothing had been decided.
So I plan to negotiate this deal. The biggest problem the Knights of Favonius face is that after deducting the funds for the Knights' operation, the remaining funds are not enough to build this cement road.
If a cement road is really built from Shimen Border to Cape Lookout, can you imagine how much of an impact it will have on Mondstadt?"
Lin Zixuan took out a map and drew a line with a pen.
"Isn't it just building a road? Is it a earth-shaking event?" Paimeng's little head has not yet understood the interests involved.
Mona looked at the map. If a cement road was built through all the towns and villages in Mondstadt, the distance from Shimen Border to Cape Lookout would be almost the same as that from Liyue Harbor to Shimen Border. How many interest chains would be involved in this?
The old woman said that it would be better for me to have a relationship with him, and it would be even better if we could go further. Astrologers can see some of the future, and it is common to rely on the strong. Is he someone worthy of trust?
"Mondstadt is not like Liyue where there is a Geo King who is in overall management. In Mondstadt, there are three organizations that control every aspect of Mondstadt.
The aristocratic group with the greatest power;
A church group that gets something for nothing;
The Knights of Favonius, a purely violent organization.
Let’s talk about the most powerful aristocratic group first. Great nobles like Diluk control almost 60% of Mondstadt’s land and various production resources.
Once the road is opened, other small nobles will flock to it and send all kinds of meat products to Liyue, which will inevitably cause the price of these meats in Mondstadt to fall. At that time, they will fight each other until they are bloodied.
Then there is this seemingly simple church group. Churches of all sizes are spread across villages and towns in Mond, accepting donations from the people.
After so many years of operation, they have occupied 40% of the land and various production resources, and will also join this melee.
Don't be surprised why they have so much land and resources. This kind of organization that gets something for nothing is so terrible. Most of them are making money in the name of the God of Wind, and only a few people truly believe in the God of Wind.
