Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"Okay, now I need to see how strong you are. Come with me to the Temple of the West Wind Eagle. We will gather at the entrance to the secret realm, where the Abyss Cult has been active.

If it were you, you would probably do the same as him. You can enter any room you want to reach as long as you want, without having to fight all 99 levels of the secret realm. "After saying that, Dainsleb left directly.

"Well, it seems that you didn't tell us any information about your brother at all? Apart from knowing his name, everything else is a complete mystery." Paimon watched Dainsreb leave and spread his hands.

"My brother's traveling companions have gone their separate ways, and there are still too few clues to the three questions. Let's get some supplies first, and then follow them and see!"

Afterwards, they set out on a journey to find the Abyss Cult, the secret realm, the Wolf Territory, and the Wind Dragon Ruins. On the cliff of the Wind Dragon Ruins, she sensed the presence of her brother, and the group rushed to the top of the cliff, but found that there was no one there, only a trampled dandelion, telling that someone had been there just now.

"Your strength is still good, but it's just good. It's no problem to deal with these Abyss Mages. If you face the Abyss Apostles, you have a certain chance of winning, but the Abyss is not that simple. To be the Prince of the Abyss, your strength will not be weaker than that Lin Zixuan you know.

So don’t be anxious, you still have a lot of room for improvement. Worry and anxiety are the enemies of the mind. Your journey has just begun, hasn’t it?

At this moment, the most important thing is this journey to find him. I wish you can find your blood relatives at the end of the journey. Then, let's say goodbye here temporarily. "

"Hey, are you leaving now? You haven't said anything about her brother!" Paimon looked at Dainsleib.

"I have some things I need to check about Lin Zixuan. Don't worry, we will see each other again later. As for your brother's matter, your journey has just begun, you still need some time, and I also need some time to confirm some things." Dainsleb left without looking back.

"What should I do? It seems that even your brother's traveling companion doesn't want you to know the truth. We just met for the first time, so he doesn't trust us?"

"I have a very strange feeling of incongruity. Could it be that my brother has said something to them?" Ying looked at the beautiful scenery of the Wind Dragon Ruins in front of him and began to think.

"Wendy, Zhongli, Dain, these people who have lived for at least a few hundred years, must have seen your brother. Does your brother want them not to allow you to tell him about his affairs? Does that make sense?

And because Lin Zixuan is only in his twenties and has no relationship with your brother, he can tell us the information without any scruples."

"Hmm, maybe that's the case? Let's go back to Mondstadt and rest for a few days."

"Great! I can finally eat fried meat with carrots in honey sauce! I want twenty servings this time! The big bad guy will pay for it!" Paimon started to dance and sing.

Chapter 167 Dainsleib 2

After more than two months, Lin Zixuan came to Mondstadt again.

Mond has changed a lot since then, and the people coming and going are full of hope for the future. But it is also normal, after the biggest cancer is removed, Mond will definitely usher in a new wave of development.

Captain Jean, who adheres to the spirit of chivalry, is deeply loved by the people as a role model. In addition, after clearing out the wealth accumulated by the church over the years, the Knights of Favonius are no longer the kind of knights that 1 Mora wants to split in half to spend, and various welfare benefits have been greatly improved.

In the large training ground behind the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, there are nearly 200 children around 10 years old training. These children will be the backbone of the Knights of Favonius in the future.

After all, few of the knights provided by the nobles have chivalry, so we should be thankful if they work hard and don't slack off.

The statue of the god of wind at the entrance of the church and the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius are surrounded by fences, and craftsmen are working on the reconstruction.

Judging from the current situation, the Knights of Favonius should be able to complete the project much faster, while the statue of the god of wind may take more than a year to complete. Currently, the Knights of Favonius can only use some unused rooms in the church for office work.

A large number of nobles and knights were imprisoned and wanted for crimes, which further reduced the number of the already stretched Knights of Favonius. Because of the small number of people, the cleanup work could only be gradually spread from Mondstadt to the surrounding areas.

This resulted in many powerful wanted criminals in towns and villages far from Mondstadt either fleeing Mondstadt, changing their identities, or becoming masked treasure-stealing gangs.

Mondstadt had never conducted a census, and the identity certificates issued by the West Wind Church were just pieces of paper, which were too easy to forge. It was not difficult to start a new life in another city with a new identity that had been prepared.

Lin Zixuan picked up a small piece of fried meat with honey sauce and carrots with a fork and put it into his mouth. The fresh meat and the special sauce were worthy of being the signature dish of the famous Mondstadt restaurant, The Deer Hunter.

"You big bad guy, why are you here?" Paimon's voice came from behind.

"Oh, it's Paimon and Ying. Please sit down. It's my treat."

"Great! I can eat to my heart's content! Miss Sarah, please bring 5 servings of fried meat with honey-glazed carrots!" Paimon flew to Sarah and started ordering food.

"How was it? Did you meet your brother's traveling companion?"

"Yes, but he didn't tell me anything and asked me three very strange questions. They were..." Before the food was served, Ying told about the experience of traveling with Dainsreb.

"That's normal. This is your first meeting. Don't be too anxious. I have found out a lot of information about him.

Dainsreb, the last captain of the palace guard of Kanrea, was known as the 'Sword of the Last Light'. After the destruction of Kanrea, he was cursed with immortality and wandered around, expelling the Abyss Cult on his own.

"Kan Ruiya..." Ying recalled the past.

"The three questions he asked are actually related to his own experience. After all, he himself is a half-finished hillbilly."

“Eh!!!!!!”*2

"Is Dain a Hilichurl?" Paimon asked in surprise.

"Uh, don't you know yet? The Hillbillies are formed from humans who were cursed!"

"!!!!!!"*2

"Doesn't that mean I've killed a lot of people?" Ying looked at her trembling hands.

“No need to blame yourself. This is also a relief for them. They are cursed with a very strong curse and cannot transform back into humans. Until now, no method has been found.

Just imagine yourself living as a Hill Culvert for hundreds of years, never being able to turn back into a human, not being able to remember your brother, even your appearance becoming ugly, your IQ lower than Paimon's, and being easily manipulated by the Abyss Cult. Do you think there is still meaning in living?"

"Hey! Paimon is very smart!" Paimon put his hands on his hips angrily.

"But...but..."

“There’s no need to dwell on this. After all, you didn’t know this secret information before. Even your brother hasn’t found a way to save them, so what can you do?

There are very few people who can retain their appearance and thinking after being cursed like Deinsleb. It is very likely that your brother used something to protect him, so that he still has the appearance and thinking ability of a human.

That's why he asked this question. If Paimon was cursed, you wouldn't just ignore it, right? "

"Well, if Paimon turns into a Hilichurl, then he won't be able to make emergency food."

"Hey! You two are making me mad. Miss Sarah, give me 10 more servings of fried meat with honey-sauce carrots!" Paimon angrily stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth.

"As for the second question, it is basically impossible to unify the continent of Teyvat, because the seven kingdoms have developed for thousands of years and formed their own unique culture and traditions. Do you think it is possible to ask them to abandon their own culture and go to learn Liyue culture?

Just like Mondstadt, the people here are used to freedom. If Liyue conquers Mondstadt and then makes them live according to Liyue's rules, how many people do you think will raise the banner of rebellion? "

Ying pondered for a moment and felt that this person was not telling the truth.

Seeing this, Lin Zixuan's mouth curled up slightly. "Cultural invasion" can be said to be silent. By the time you find out, it's already too late. There were many successful cases in Blue Star in the past, such as everyone celebrating Christmas together, which has nothing to do with their own country.

Then, it's okay for me to let the entire Teyvat continent celebrate the Lantern Festival, right? When you focus on Liyue culture and take pride in Liyue culture, then you have completed the first stage of cultural invasion.

Liyue TV, which has taken the lead, has been subtly brainwashing us. For at least five generations, I will not allow other countries to have similar propaganda tools. This is a world with elemental power, and controlling the power of lightning is equivalent to controlling all signal transmissions.

"But thank you for your answer. If such a day ever comes for Liyue, then we will definitely need your help. As for the answer to the last question, I don't know either.

In fact, I don’t love the people of Liyue that much, I just want them to live a better life. People are selfish, and immortals also have seven emotions and six desires. "

"Is the big bad guy planning to do bad things again when he comes to Mondstadt this time?" Paimon has already finished 12 plates of fried meat with honey-sauce carrots.

"Paimon, I clearly did a good thing, why did it become a bad thing in your mouth?"

"So many people died in Mond this time, and it was all your fault."

"So you think that the people in those small villages far away from Mondstadt should be killed?"

"Uh...uh..."

"Have you ever thought about why these people in high positions are so unscrupulous?"

"have no idea..."

"That's because they know that even if they commit a crime, they can still live well and will not die at all. The church will protect them. All the laws of Mond were made by them. They even proposed that God loves the world and there should be no death penalty.

Anyway, the dead are just some untouchables, and the money is enough. Sentence them to life imprisonment, then use the money to bribe the church, and release them after three to five years when things calm down. When these mice decide how to catch them, they are already invincible.

There are some very special prisons for nobles in Mondstadt, which are more luxurious than ordinary hotels. Do you think they are repenting in prison or enjoying themselves?

There is a saying in Liyue that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. If this evil trend is not stopped, the consequences will be very serious. From a personal point of view, I hope Mondstadt will become a city of pleasure and decadence.

But for ordinary people, it was really too hard. The death of these people could allow millions of people in Mond to live a good life. It could also deter some scoundrels and serve as a warning to others.

If you think this is wrong, then just ignore my meddling.”

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Little Paimon lowered his head.

"The world is bustling with people because of profit. The world is bustling with people because of profit. A church that once believed in the wind god Barbatos has become a church full of darkness after countless years of erosion by profit.

If we don’t guide them properly and allow these bad phenomena to happen, the consequences will be more than just the death of a few people.”

"Will it get worse?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Of course it will be more serious if Mondstadt really goes to that city of pleasure and decadence. At that time, Liyue will provide these ordinary people who are desperate with some weapons for counterattack, and also sell some weapons to the church.

If the weaker side is attacked, more weapons will be given to maintain the balance between the two sides. Then, when the two groups are both defeated and the losing side is about to lose, a delegation will be sent to mediate and give the losing side some time to recuperate.

When they have recovered enough, we will design a plan to let them resume the holy war. By then, Mondstadt will naturally lose millions of people due to the outbreak of civil war.

Both sides are "paid support", Liyue can get double happiness money. When the money is not enough, they will naturally mortgage the land, so Liyue can get triple happiness. Finally, they have to thank Liyue for providing weapons to support this holy war.

After the end of this holy war that lasted for a hundred years, Liyue got the land, wealth and fame it wanted. Although Mondstadt's territory became smaller, it also gained "freedom". Don't you think this is a win-win situation?"

Ying, Paimon, and the people eavesdropping in the shadows all shuddered. This man is definitely a devil!!! No, even devils should be thousands of times better than him.

Paimeng wiped his mouth and hid behind Ying, not daring to look directly into Lin Zixuan's eyes. Ying also felt strange about the person in front of her.

"Can't you stand this little trick?"

"It feels a bit too much." Ying said.

"So I didn't adopt the strategy of waiting and watching Mondstadt's development. Instead, I asked Captain Jean to treat Mondstadt's problems. This is also a win-win situation for Liyue."

"I'm afraid Captain Qin won't have too much resistance to you in the future, right?"

"I think you will basically not reject me if it does not involve Mondstadt's interests, right? Don't you want to see Captain Qin wearing a maid outfit?"

"Think!"*2

"It turns out that the big bad guy has no good intentions at all." Paimon appeared from behind Ying and said this, then shrank back.

The dinner ended with a casual chat. Ying and Paimon left first, and Paimon turned back and made a face before leaving.

"You've been eavesdropping in the corner for so long, aren't you tired? Luo..." A figure in the corner walked out. "I didn't expect that you actually learned how to put on light makeup? Not bad, the dark circles are gone, and you're wearing a skirt, you're really a beauty."

"I..." Rosalia hesitated for a while, "Thank you for what you did for Mond. I investigated some strange things a long time ago. But due to my limited ability, I couldn't get decisive evidence. Fortunately, they lost their composure that day, which gave me an opportunity."

"If you want to thank someone, go thank Captain Qin. I didn't do anything. Have you had dinner? If not, why not have something to eat?"

"...good!"

At night, a photo of a man whose face could not be seen clearly having dinner with Rosalia began to circulate in the church. Rosalia was smiling in the photo.

The nuns had never expected Rosalia to show such an expression, and they began to speculate on the man's identity. After finding out that there was no such person, it soon became a new urban legend.

Chapter 168 Dainsleib 3

Temporary base of the Knights of Favonius.

Captain Qin looked at Lin Zixuan who was sitting opposite him drinking tea, and all kinds of thoughts kept popping up in his mind. What price should I pay? If he wants me, should I agree or not? He went through "The Melancholy of the Young Vera" again in his mind.

"What are you thinking about? You blush and shake your head. You don't want me to do something shameful to you, do you?" Lin Zixuan took a sip of tea and said helplessly while looking at Captain Qin who was daydreaming in front of him.

"Absolutely not!"

"That's good. Let's get down to business first! The cement road you and Ningguang have talked about several times, you should have the money to build it now, right?"

"Well, the church has been plundering the assets of the people of Mond for many years. This amount of money is very large, and there are also many fixed assets. Recently, I suddenly found that there are many places in the report submitted that need money. I always feel that there is something wrong."

"It's a very normal phenomenon. Everyone knows that the Knights of Favonius have seized trillions of assets from the church, so naturally there will be a lot of people who want to get a piece of the pie, and they all have legitimate reasons.

For example, should the food be improved? Should the armor on my body be replaced with new ones? Can the weapon be replaced with a purple one? All similar things, right? "

Captain Qin covered his forehead with his hands. "Yes, there are also issues concerning the treatment of trainee knights, the purchase of various materials, and the allocation of crystal vehicles. During this period, various business houses have come to discuss related business matters."

"Procurement and other matters are your internal affairs, so I can't say anything. Things have their priorities, so you just need to make sure you handle them properly. There are many capable people in Mondstadt, and I'm jealous of them. You need to train them well and don't always take on all the responsibilities.

There are three ways to build this cement road that runs through Mond. You'd better discuss with everyone to decide which method to use.

The first option: Liyue is responsible for the construction. The construction period is the fastest. After completion, Liyue will issue relevant acceptance documents and provide after-sales services. However, the price is also the most expensive among the three options.

The second option: Liyue will provide cement and other building materials, and Mondstadt will be responsible for the construction workers. In this way, you only need to pay for the cost of cement materials and cement laying teaching fees.

The wages of the construction workers are decided by you in Mondstadt. Liyue is not responsible for after-sales maintenance. To put it bluntly, the construction materials are given to you, and you lay them yourself. The construction period will be very long, but the labor cost can be kept very low.

The third option: Liyue and Mondstadt cooperate in construction. Liyue is responsible for construction materials, overall construction, ensuring qualified acceptance, and some after-sales services.

Mondstadt needs to arrange personnel to follow Liyue's instructions and pave the road. In other words, Liyue is only responsible for coordinating the paving of cement roads, but Mondstadt's own people are still responsible for building Mondstadt. The construction period and cost are between the first two methods.

In addition, street lights, signposts, greenery and other related facilities can also be selected. Even railways. "

"Street lights! Railways!" Captain Qin opened his eyes wide. These two things are too important. Street lights can make cement roads usable at night, and railways are a very important transportation route.

"Yes. For street lights, you only need to pay a certain fee every year, and Liyue will be responsible for the maintenance. As for the railway, don't you think it would be better to plan the route early? After all, it will need to be built sooner or later."

"I need some time to discuss the plan with everyone. Many of the Knights have been sent out by me to do some work, so they won't be back in the next few days. Can I give you a reply in a week?"
