Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"He ran so fast! He seemed to recognize you and ran away immediately. Did your brother give him any orders?" Paimon appeared from behind when he saw the battle was over.

"Brother...what are you doing?"

The two walked out of the ruins in silence. At the exit of the ruins, they met an unexpected person.

"The reunion came sooner than I thought."

"Ah, it's Dyne!"

"From your expressions, it seems like you experienced something in the ruins? Did you meet the 'Apostle of the Abyss'?"

"Huh? How did Dyne know?"

"I'm still hunting for the 'Apostle of the Abyss' and was planning to go into the ruins to take a look. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Ying and Paimon told what happened in the ruins, and then they started looking for the traces of the Apostle of the Abyss with Dain.

Under the tree where the wind rises in Mondstadt.

Lin Zixuan leaned against the tree and sensed the situation in the distance. On the tree sat the wind god Barbatos, gently plucking the strings of his harp.

"You're actually planning on me. Am I acting too harmless?"

"There are tens of thousands of people targeting you. Can you handle it?"

"You are indeed a veteran wind god. I have only found more than 3000 people. Can't you tell me about the situation in the abyss?"

"Hey!"

I sighed silently. Accurate intelligence is the most important thing at any time. If I can't get intelligence, it's like being in a passive state. It seems that it will take some time.

In a hidden camp near the ruins, the members of the treasure-hunting group saw the Thousand Rocks Army that had surrounded them, and all of them showed a look of despair.

Afterwards, the 'Northern Monster Bird' tried to escape but was stabbed to the ground by two spears, groaning in pain.

'Sister Nan Chang' slumped down on the ground, muttering: I knew this day would come, it's fate.

Chapter 170: The Transaction between Liyue and Mondstadt

Ying and Dainsleb explored for several days without any results, so they had to return to Mondstadt to rest and investigate. Dainsleb relied on the pass from the Kingdom of Winter and did not encounter any obstacles.

"I didn't expect that you, Dain, are from the Kingdom of Winter?" Paimon asked curiously.

"No, I just asked an old friend to help me get a fake identity so that I can move around more easily. Liyue didn't need to be so troublesome in the past, but things have changed a lot in the past few years. Liyue only welcomes people with legal identities. If you enter illegally and are caught by them, it will be very troublesome."

"Yes, that villain is so bad. I can't imagine what it would be like if Dain was captured and forced to do hard labor in the mines." Paimon spread his hands.

“I think this management method is the right choice. It not only reduces the burden on the army, but also protects the people of Liyue to the greatest extent.

In addition, the roads are well connected and the Thousand Rocks Army is stationed near all the important roads. If any problems arise, Liyue will be able to respond immediately. According to my research, in another ten years, Liyue will be more powerful than Kanreya was back then."

"Eh???"

"This is just my personal opinion on Liyue's current situation. His policies have made Liyue so united and powerful. If back then..." Dainsreb did not continue.

Seeing that Dain had completed the border crossing formalities and walked away, Paimon floated to Ying's ear and whispered, "The last palace guard captain of Kanria should be a very high position, right? Is it similar to Kaia's cavalry captain? It seems that he was a little jealous just now?"

"Yeah, I can see that. The more military officers in charge of combat, the more they will compare the strengths of the two countries. Being able to make him abide by Liyue's rules might be a kind of recognition, right?"

"I think he doesn't want to be captured by the big bad guy and taken to the mines to mine. The news about the half-finished hillbillies was also told to us by the big bad guy. Maybe the big bad guy is also looking for an opportunity to attack Dain." Paimon showed an expression pack of squinting smile.

Outside Mondstadt.

A long, flat open space had been cleared not far from the bridge. Countless Mond residents stood on the bridge and by the lake, looking forward to the arrival. A large number of welcoming banners were hung everywhere.

Ying and his group were teleported out from the anchor point, and looking at the scene in front of them, several question marks appeared above their heads.

"Wow, it's so lively! Is some important person coming to Mondstadt?" Paimon flew up and looked forward.

"It's Sister Ying!" A small red figure jumped up to Ying and greeted her.

"Ah, it's Klee! Klee, you finally came out from the confinement room?" Paimon flew back and greeted Klee.

"Well, Captain Qin and everyone else are going to meet Liyue's big shot today. So I just sneaked out to play!"

"Hmm, the big shot in Liyue, can it be that big bad guy? No, the big bad guy is already in Mondstadt. Klee, do you know who the Knights are welcoming?"

"Kelly, I don't know! Um... I seem to have heard that it was... what kind of light was it?"

"Guang? Ningguang from Tianquan Star is coming to Mondstadt? No wonder it's so grand."

"Yes, that's the name, Ningguang!"

"Liyue is the most powerful ruler. For such a person to make such a high-profile official visit to Mondstadt, there must be some unknown secrets." Dainsreb frowned and guessed the reason.

"Hehe, I know! We should come to Mondstadt to discuss road construction, right?" Paimon raised his head and put his hands on his hips.

"Repair the road?" Dainsleb frowned even more tightly.

"Mond is also planning to build a cement road from Cape Lookout to the Shimen border. Once this cement road is completed, there will be many benefits."

"I see. After this road is opened, Mondstadt's various industries will become even more dependent on Liyue. His methods should not be limited to this. He should have other plans." Dain thought again.

"Hey! Even though the big villain is very bad, he truly wants people to live a good life. If he really wants to destroy Mondstadt, he only needs to wait for ten years. There's no need to do such a thing." Paimon crossed his arms angrily.

At this moment, a big hand pressed down Paimon's little head from behind. "Is there water in his brain? I didn't expect Paimon to speak for me. I am so touched!!!"

Paimon showed a horrified expression and turned his head to look behind him. A big bad guy was looking at him with a smile (lustful eyes). With a "swish", he quickly flew behind Ying. Ying pressed his forehead and sighed. This is what happened every time they met.

Dainsleb at the side was also ready for battle as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Little Klee beside him was not sure what she was thinking.

"Relax, relax. You and I have no grudge against each other, so there is no need to be so nervous, Mr. Dainsleib." Lin Zixuan said lightly.

"Sure enough, none of the immortals in Liyue are easy to deal with. It seems that you have already found out my identity very clearly, right?"

"I only know the basics. Could you tell me more detailed information about Kanreya?"

"No comment!"

"Well, okay. Let's talk about it next time. I have to go pick up my wife. Do you want to go to the special seats together?" Lin Zixuan said.

"Yes, yes. I heard they were coming here by plane. I want to see the plane, too!"

"Okay! Let's go! This way you can see it!" He lifted little Klee up high and let her ride on his neck.

"Oh! It's so high! Let's go!" Klee also pointed forward happily.

Paimon looked at Ying, and then saw Ying's 'scummy' expression, so he suppressed his thoughts. "I haven't said anything yet." He had no choice but to follow Ying's pace.

"I won't go. Let's meet at Angel's Gift later." Dain and Ying said goodbye temporarily.

The four of them walked through the huge crowds of Mondstadt people and headed for the front where the Knights were guarding a tight spot. A very luxurious carriage was parked nearby, and Kaeya was sitting in the front driving position sighing. There were also 8 crystal carriages painted with the Knights' livery nearby.

In the makeshift shed, Captain Qin was talking to a Liyue costumer. He should be a diplomat from Liyue, making sure that the reception could go smoothly. After all, in such a formal meeting between the two countries' dignitaries, neither side could afford to make mistakes. If it went wrong, the impact would be huge.

"Come to think of it, doesn't Ningguang have the Eye of God? Couldn't she just teleport here directly from the anchor point?" Paimeng started to feel bored after waiting for less than two minutes.

"If they were teleported here directly, it would be a private visit, so there would be no need for such a grand ceremony. Besides, this is a demonstration. The first long-distance manned and cargo flight is of great significance.

Paimon, you have to know that there are very few people who possess the Eye of God. Most of them are ordinary people. How long do you think it would take for an ordinary person to run from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt?"

"Uh, ordinary people? It takes about 10 hours from Liyue Harbor to Shimen Border, and then a night's rest. Then it's more than 600 kilometers from Shimen Border to Mondstadt.

The speed of Mond's carriage is about 20 kilometers per hour, and it can only travel about kilometers a day. If it rains, it can't move, and it will take about a week on the road. If there is a crystal car... No, ordinary people can't afford it. "

"Yes, it normally takes about a week. But ten years ago, it took a month to get from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt. Even by boat it would take about ten days.

How many months do ordinary people have in their lifetime? Today, I will allow ordinary people to travel from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt in only about 4 hours. What do you think? "

"What? It takes only 4 hours to get from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt? Unbelievable."

"In fact, you have been traveling for so long and have been to many places. You should have some experience, right? Many villages are ignorant, and coupled with the rampant monsters and treasure-stealing groups, many people have never walked out of the 10-kilometer radius of the village in their entire lives.

I want them to see more of this beautiful world, instead of staying in a small place until they die. The world is so big, they should go out more often to see it.”

"Hah, what a sensational statement, but you can't fool me!!! You must be doing this to make money!!! There must be some other purpose! Don't try to fool me!" Paimon put his hands on his hips and turned his head away.

Ying also nodded, indicating that she agreed with Paimon's words.

"I'm really shocked that little Paimon has such a brain. I really look forward to seeing you grow up."

"Humph, just give up on this idea!"

"Look, look, the plane is coming." Keli, who was riding on Lin Zixuan's neck, saw a silver object approaching in the distant sky.

"Yeah, that's good. By the time we arrive we should be 25 minutes earlier than scheduled."

Soon, everyone looked in the same direction, and reporters from the newspaper frantically pressed the camera button.

“Wow!!! So big!!!”

As the plane got closer, people began to realize how big it was. There were two propellers on each of the huge wings, and the huge fuselage proved that it could carry a lot of cargo.

The plane gradually descended, and the roar of the crystal engine entered the ears of the people of Mond. The floating stone device at the bottom of the plane was emitting green light, assisting the plane in landing.

The plane landed successfully and entered the designated area. The people of Mond looked at this huge plane and felt their own insignificance. The Wings of Wind were nothing more than a toy in front of it.

The tail compartment opened, and about 50 Qianyan soldiers walked out in an orderly manner. There was also a small crystal car pulling a simple barbed wire at the back. Soon they built a simple barbed wire fence around the plane.

Of course, this was also discussed with the Knights of Favonius in advance to avoid any unpleasant incidents. After all, if someone rushed up and forcibly visited and took away one or two rivets or something like that, there might be a huge accident.

A boarding car drove out from the tail cabin and arrived at the door next to the nose of the plane. The stairs behind it slowly rose. The onlookers were amazed. So this is how they got up. The front cabin door opened, and two Qianyan soldiers in special ceremonial attire walked out and stood on both sides of the cabin door.

Then, a woman so beautiful that she made the world pale in comparison walked out. She was the legendary Lady Ningguang of Liyue Tianquanxing. Countless cameras were pressed until smoke came out by the reporters, just to take the best photo.

Ningguang looked around and saw... a little girl riding on her man's neck. Countless thoughts popped up in her mind at once.

"Hey, she seems to be looking over here?" Klee quickly waved at Ningguang.

Lin Zixuan saw Ningguang also smiled and waved, and then saw that her other hand was tightly clenched. That kind of smile, oh no... she seemed... jealous again!!!

After various diplomatic etiquettes were completed, Ningguang and Qin boarded the super luxurious carriage and headed for Mondstadt.

This meeting also caused a huge stir in Teyvat. The Liyue plane took less than 5 hours to fly from Liyue Port to the outskirts of Mondstadt, and it carried at least 100 people and a lot of cargo.

Feeling the huge gap, more and more people have an idea in their minds: they want to go to Liyue to take a look.

Chapter 171 Trade Talks Interlude

News of Liyue Tianquan Star Ningguang's official visit to Mondstadt is spreading, and people are speculating about the specific content of this visit.

As the talks progressed, some specific information gradually emerged.

The plane at the gate of Mondstadt is codenamed Kunpeng. Since it is the first large transport aircraft built by Liyue, it can be called Yun-1. The maximum flight speed is 520 kilometers per hour, the normal cruising speed is 405 kilometers per hour, and it can carry up to 30 tons of cargo.

Once Mond's airport is completed, flights between the two countries will be opened to facilitate everyone's travel.

Outside the barbed wire, a large number of Mondstadt residents were watching the huge aircraft. They were envious of the Liyue technicians climbing up and down to inspect it. Nothing is more shocking than seeing it with your own eyes.

"Ahhh! I really want to see inside!" A Mond man exclaimed as he looked at the plane in front of him.

"Don't do anything stupid. There's barbed wire blocking the way, and there are so many Thousand Rock Army elites and Knights guarding it. If you rush in, the Thousand Rock Army won't have to do anything, the Knights of Favonius will kill you directly.

This is an official visit, representing the face of both parties. If Mond brings shame to the entire Teyvat continent, do you think you still have a chance to survive?" Another Mond man stroked his beard and said.

"Iron can fly in the air, swim in the water, and run on the road. It must be very durable. I wonder how much it costs?"

"All the iron is produced in Liyue, so it costs them nothing!"

"I heard that there will be a flight route between the two countries. How much does it cost to go to Liyue? We can reach Liyue Harbor in 5 hours."

“It shouldn’t be too cheap, right?”

"Based on Master Li Yuexuan's personality, it might be 100 Moras per kilometer, and it is very likely to be 16 Moras."

"With only 5 Mora, you can get from Mondstadt to Liyue Harbor in 16 hours. Isn't that too cheap?"

"16 Mora per person is more than enough to carry 150 people per trip. The revenue for a single trip is 2400 million Mora, and 4800 million Mora for a round trip in a day.

After transporting the people, they can also transport about 20 tons of goods. Adding up all the miscellaneous goods, the daily income is basically 7000 million Mora.

"At least 250 billion Mora can be earned in one year, and if it can be operated for another 20 years, that would be 5000 billion Mora!" A businessman was analyzing the benefits.

"Hiss..." People around took a deep breath. It's actually so profitable!

"This is just one. If there are five more flying to the other five countries... or even opening other direct routes, such as Mondstadt to Inazuma... then the money Liyue can make will be an astronomical figure."

People looked at the transport plane again, and the plane in their eyes had turned into the shape of Mora.

In the city of Mondstadt.

A large crowd gathered in front of the church, and the heads of various businesses in Mond gathered there, all wanting to know the latest news first.

The news that Mond was going to build a road was exposed several months ago. There was a lot of profit involved, and everyone was thinking about whether they could get involved and make some money.
