Under Lin Zixuan's instruction, Ying quickly became familiar with the operation of the motorcycle.
Then he let Nashida sit on the back seat, put Paimon in front of him, said hello to Lin Zixuan, and drove to the border of the Layered Abyss.
Lin Zixuan couldn't help but sigh as he watched them leave. Xumi's current situation was different from that in the game in many ways, and he didn't know what would happen.
Xumi, which is in chaos, is the best time for a hero to emerge. It was planned long ago to let Nashida walk the path of Xumi's founding by herself. The Great Compassion Tree King should not die in obscurity. It is unknown whether Nashida can bear this responsibility.
If she succeeds, Nashida will have achievements that are no less than those of the Great Compassion Tree King. If she fails, she will become an evil god that everyone wants to kill. The winner can write history, and the loser becomes history.
As long as it is a war, it is not a game of grabbing chairs easily. The throne of the Great Compassion Tree King of Xumi is almost equivalent to being given away for free, which makes Nashida feel that this is just a game of grabbing chairs? If you have never experienced it, you cannot understand how hard and painful it is.
The Jiaolingyuan, the descendants of the Red King, and the Grass God Sect will stage a Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Who will be the final winner?
On the road in Lishajiao.
"So fast! Faster, Ying!"
Paimon sat in the front and gave orders excitedly. The roar of the crystal engine of the Heavy Rabbit echoed on the road, attracting the attention of many people.
Two hours later, they arrived at the first scheduled supply station.
"Ying, let's use the anchor point to teleport over. We only traveled 2 kilometers in 150 hours, which is too slow. It will take at least 20 hours to get to Layer Rock Town. The motorcycle is good, but my head hurts after being exposed to the wind for so long." Paimon, who had passed the excitement period, started to act unhappy.
"Anahita, can you teleport using the anchor point?" Ying looked at Nashida.
"No. My power can only be used when there is a life-threatening situation. This is what I promised him."
"Is that so? Then let's take the crystal car. This way you can rest in the back seat or get into the Dust Song Pot."
Ying put away the heavily armed bunny and released the Xuanyuan Dragon.
"Great! The crystal car is still more comfortable." Paimeng rushed into the car and lay down in a comfortable position.
"Paimon, you're getting lazier and lazier!"
"Hehe, it's still more comfortable inside the car. At least everyone can hear our conversation clearly." Paimon leaned back in the seat and made a comfortable sound.
"Anahita, is your home in Xumi City?"
"Well, let's go to Xumi City to get some things first, and then go to Port Omos to check out the situation." Nashida replied.
"Then let's go! Xumi, here we come!" Little Paimon said excitedly.
The next day.
Ying, Paimon and their group arrived at the Tiangong Gorge border station in the Layered Abyss and were planning to have lunch at a restaurant near the border station before setting off again.
Like the Shimen border, a large area here has been leveled and paved with cement roads, and freight vehicles are constantly going in and out of the tunnel.
A pink short-haired girl wearing a Fontaine dress was holding a special camera and continuously pressing the shutter at the entrance. Then a blonde woman and a white-haired flying pet appeared in the camera, which shocked her mind.
“That’s…” The girl rushed forward quickly. “Wait! Wait for me!”
Paimon heard someone shouting from behind and turned to look. "Huh? This guy is running faster than the crystal car!"
Ying and Nashida also turned their heads and saw a pink figure approaching quickly.
"Huff...Huff...Huff..." The girl who arrived in front of them was breathing heavily.
"you are?"
"Hello, I'm Charlotte, a new reporter for the Fontaine Steambird Newspaper. You are the Honorary Knight of Mondstadt, the Great Hero of Liyue, and the Traveler who defeated General Raiden, right?"
"Uh, yeah. What's up?"
"It's like this. I heard that a huge black bird appeared in the Layered Rock Abyss a few days ago, and then a purple net covered the entire Layered Rock Abyss. In the end, the bird and the net disappeared. I also heard that Master Xuan was there. Do you know the details?"
"Of course, we know...Woo woo woo." Paimon's mouth was held by Ying.
"Ah! That's great, it turns out you really knew. What was said in the post on the Teyvat forum is indeed true. Can you tell me in detail what happened?" Charlotte looked at Ying expectantly.
"You should have asked the Thousand Rocks Army here, right? They didn't give you any reply, which proves that this matter is not convenient for others to know. I think it's better for you not to go too deep into it." Nashida saw that Ying didn't want to answer this question.
"I am sorry for the inconvenience. Liyue can get a lot of internal news from us, but the Liyue news that we get from Steambird News are all trivial. This incident was not reported by Liyue TV Station, and I think it is very newsworthy."
"This matter involves a friend of mine, and I don't want him to suffer any more trouble, so I apologize."
"Well, can I interview you? Do you know anything about Master Xuan? What are his hobbies?..."
Charlotte, who was in the right state, began her interview. After Ying had to re-install the bunny to take pictures of her, she finally got rid of her interview and left with satisfaction.
"Is this a reporter? She runs faster than a crystal car, asks a lot of questions, and uses some language traps. If you're not careful, she'll get the secrets out of you." Paimon shook his head and put aside what happened just now.
"The Steambird News's sales are being eaten away by Liyue TV. They want to find some big news about Liyue to publicize and report on it. Maybe this is why she came to Liyue." Nashida analyzed Charlotte's situation.
After submitting the documents for going abroad to Qianyan Army, the three of them entered the tunnel. After driving twelve kilometers along the tunnel full of electric lights, they finally saw the light at the exit.
After exiting the tunnel, what comes into view is a lush green.
"Wow, is this Xumi? The air is so fresh."
"Anahita, what's wrong with you?" Paimon saw her hugging herself and trembling, looking very cold.
Nashida felt that a large amount of power had been forcibly extracted from her original body, and her original state was extremely bad. The state of her original body was fed back to this body, and helplessness and coldness filled her heart.
"What are the wise men doing?" I kept asking myself.
Just when he was about to use his power to gather information, he remembered the agreement that elemental power cannot be used unless it is a life-and-death situation, so he resisted the urge to use his power.
"Anahita, Anahita, Anahita..." Paimon's voice brought Nahida back to consciousness.
"Ah! I'm fine. Since you have set foot on this land, as a Xumi person, I should say to you:
Welcome to the kingdom of wisdom - Xumi!"
Nashida performed the Sumeru ceremony to Ying and Paimon.
Chapter 327: First Visit to Xumi
"It feels a bit strange, the place seems to be fenced off."
Paimon saw a large square in front of him, which was similar to the Tiangong Gorge in the Layered Rock Abyss. Behind the square, there were also many Sumeru-style buildings.
The wooden walls formed a huge semicircle around the tunnel entrance. To put it bluntly, there was no other way out of the tunnel.
Liyue's trucks and yak-beasts gathered in this large square to carry out loading and unloading work. After unloading the materials from the crystal trucks, they tied them to the yak-beasts, or vice versa.
"Huh? Is there an immigration checkpoint here as well?" Paimon asked while looking at the building in front.
“Originally, there weren’t any. Ever since Master Xuan surrounded Liyue with self-discipline trees, there are only a few land routes left to enter Liyue besides the sea route.
This road became a must-go route for people, and immigration checkpoints and small towns naturally formed at these key nodes.”
"I see! But why can't the crystal truck just go in?"
Paimon saw a man in Sumeru clothing riding a bicycle coming towards them in the distance. He waved at them and soon came in front of them.
"Ladies, do you need to enter the customs?"
"Hmph! It's the three ladies! What's the matter?" Paimon, who was ignored, put his hands on his hips angrily.
"Uh... sorry, are you planning to drive the crystal car into the customs?"
"Yes, is it possible that Xumi doesn't allow crystal trucks to enter? I saw those freight trucks were unloading at the square and didn't go in. I saw that Xumi had crystal trucks on Liyue TV?"
"!!!" The man in Xumi clothing was very happy, he guessed it right!
"Come with me, all three. Let's go to the parking lot next to us and chat. I can provide some information. Xumi is in a very unstable situation right now. Of course, I also need your help with a small favor."
The man led the way on a bicycle. Ying looked at Nashida and saw that she nodded, so she followed the man to the back of a container.
"No one will see us here." The man looked around.
"What are you doing so mysteriously?"
"Xumeri has been in turmoil lately. The people from the Ministry of Education are biting people everywhere like mad dogs. You should be careful too. If you are captured by the people from the Ministry of Education, no one will not go crazy."
"Crazy?"
“I don’t know what the situation is, but once someone is captured by the Ordinance Court and locked up for a period of time, they go crazy.
The doctors checked and found that apart from the injuries on the hands and feet caused by being restrained, there were no other skin injuries. This is the most terrifying thing.
Xumi is changing almost every day. Have you heard about Liyue's Silk Road plan?"
"Yes, I heard about it. The road to connect the entire Xumi is something that people in Xumi are looking forward to its completion." Nashida nodded.
“This Silk Road project is now on hold because the Fatwas do not allow it.”
"What happened during this time?"
"Today's Xumi is divided into three areas."
The man took out a map of Xumi and spoke to Ying and the other two.
“The first territory is the smallest and the most vulnerable.
The area west of Omos Port and west of Vimo Village is controlled by the Grass God Sect.
The banner they were using was to save the Grass God, and I heard that several large trading companies in Xumi were involved.
The Ministry of Education has not allowed the Little Grass God to come out yet, so they must have something to hide. But I am just a civilian, and I don't know the situation there.
Then there is the second piece of land.
A descendant of the Red King on the other side of the desert rebelled.
They led their army to directly capture Kawanyi. Now the west bank of the Shuitian Jungle and the area around Kawanyi have been occupied.
They spread the word that the Order of the Lords was forbidden to throw those crazy scholars into the desert tribe. If you want to throw them in, you must first pay a reception fee of 50 glass yuan. Otherwise, kill them!
He also said that he would not allow the House of Lords to throw these crazy scholars into the desert to eat up the desert tribes' supplies. I have no idea about the specific situation in the desert.
The last one is of course the Teachings Court, which controls the Zen Garden, the eastern part of Vimalakirti Manor, the Transformation City, and the eastern part of Omos Harbor. In fact, it occupies the northern and eastern parts.
There are many strange decrees in the area controlled by the House of Decrees. If you violate them, you will be in big trouble. That's why I stopped you."
"Sumeru is divided into three places? No wonder the big bad guy said that the situation in Sumeru is very troublesome." Paimon scratched his head.
"What are those decrees?" Ying asked.
"Before that, let me first tell you my conditions!" The man looked at them.
"Okay, you go ahead."
"I hope to put something at the bottom of your crystal car and under the seats. Don't worry, it won't have any impact on you!" The man's eyes changed when he saw the three women.
"You're going to let us smuggle goods?" Nashida said angrily.
"Ying, let's go, this guy is a bad guy!" Paimeng said angrily.
"Hey! Wait, don't be impatient, just listen to me."
"Is there anything else?" Ying's words were a little cold.
"My actions are actually related to these decrees. First of all, if your crystal car wants to drive in, it must pay a tax of 10 glass yuan. And if a crystal truck wants to drive in, it will cost 30 glass yuan.
So the cargo crystal trucks here will not choose to enter Xumi. I guess you can afford to drive a crystal truck, so you should not be short of money, right?"
“??? Are you robbing people? We have to pay 10 Li Yuan to get in?” Paimeng said angrily. After all, she knew exactly how much money Ying had.
"That's not all. Within the control of the Order, it is forbidden to use Liyue's mobile phones, game consoles, computers and other communication tools. If you are caught, you will not only go to jail, but you will also be fined. In other words, you will be searched when you go in."
“??? This is too much!”
"Right, isn't that too much? We are not allowed to use such convenient and practical tools. Various policies are also sucking the blood of us businessmen. The business tax has increased by 20%! It's completely leaving us no way to survive. I just want you to help transport some mobile phones in."
"Isn't it forbidden to use? Why do you still want to smuggle it in? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"
"There's no problem selling things from Liyue when they're shipped in, and many people are using them secretly. As long as they're not used blatantly, it's fine. But they can't be used in Xumi City at all, because the censorship there is too strict."
"Still no, I can't help."
"Hey! Have you seen those Yak-Yak-Camels? Let me tell you a secret, they are all used to smuggle Liyue goods."
"Then why don't you go find them to help you?"
"The Yak Yak Camels are all full. There is no room left."
"Can't Yak-Yak carry a lot of goods? The amount you have is not much, right?"
The man in Xumi clothing gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"This involves a trade secret. If you agree to help me, I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else."
"Oh? There are other ways of transportation?" Nashida's curiosity was aroused and she looked at Ying.
