Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"This is Lanaro, a follower of the Great Kind Tree King. They are a strange race that can only be seen by those who have not lost their childlike innocence or some special people. They are also mediators between trees and humans."

"Wow, are they so powerful? Ying, they are the followers of the Great Kindness Tree King. They should have information about the Little Auspicious Grass King, right? Why don't we go ask them?"

The frightened Lannaro cast some kind of magic and ran away in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

"Uh... scared away. I tried to catch them several times, but they moved too fast in the woods. Let's go check on Hypatia first." Cole scratched his head.

"Hmm. I don't seem to smell any strange smell, and there is also a very fresh fragrance, which comes from the stove next to her." Paimon came to Hypatia's side.

"Let me take a look." Cole also stepped forward to check on Hypatia's condition.

"Plop!" The sound of someone falling to the ground was heard from behind.

"Ying, what's wrong with you? Cheer up!" Paimon turned around and saw that it was Ying who fainted, and shouted hurriedly.

"What is this? Connected to the World Tree?" Nashida sensed the aura of the World Tree emanating from Ying. Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, countless branches stretched out from the ground and tied up Nashida, preventing her from touching Ying.

"Huh???" Paimon and Cole were both surprised. Suddenly, both of them had problems. One fainted, and the other was tied up.

Ying's consciousness came to an underground cave, where a beautiful tree grew, emitting a strange smell. When she walked in front of the tree, a female voice came into Ying's ears.

"...promise...to seal me..."

Chapter 329 A Different Beginning

evening.

Tinari and two rangers hurried into the cave.

Earlier, Cole informed him that something unusual had happened: the traveler Ying had fainted, and Anahita was trapped by vines, so he quickly dropped what he was doing and rushed over.

Hypatia, who was rescued by Cole, was confused by the situation and stood aside, at a loss as to what to do.

"Cole, what happened?" Tinari asked.

"I don't know. After the four of us came in, we saw a round creature, and then it ran away. Ying fainted right after that. Then Anahita wanted to go up to see what was going on, but these two vines tied her up and prevented her from getting close to Ying." Cole scratched his head.

"Round creatures? No, they shouldn't be them." Tinari walked to the trapped Anahita, reached out and touched the two vines, then his eyes widened, his heart was surging. "How is this possible! This is... the power of the Great Kindness Tree King!"

"Master, can you handle these vines? My knife can't cut them."

Tinari discovered that the power of the Great Compassion Tree King did not continue to supply these vines, and it should be just a temporary confinement.

"Yes, come here and dig up these vines."

"Dig up?"

"Yeah! Hurry up."

Then he directed two forest rangers to use shovels to dig up the two vines, and made a temporary flowerpot with leaves, ropes and soil, which he held carefully in his arms.

The released Nashida rubbed her arms which were tied with red marks, and looked at the aura of the World Tree that had disappeared from Ying's body. It was unknown what she was thinking.

"Anahita, are you okay?" Paimon saw Nahida being rescued and hurried over.

"I'm fine, just some minor injuries."

"Well, it's getting late. We have to hurry back to Huacheng." Tinari said to Paimon and the others, then looked at the two rangers again. "Carry Ying back on a stretcher first."

"Is Ying okay?" Paimon asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I just checked. She just fainted. She's fine."

Everyone returned to Huacheng. The sun had already set, and various insects in the rainforest night were composing a special tune.

"I'll go prepare some medicine and bring it over later. You guys should get a good rest tonight. We can have a good talk when she wakes up tomorrow." Tinari took Cole away.

The strange incense in the house drove away the insects, and Paimon flew around Ying worriedly. After a while, Tinari arrived with a bowl of medicine.

"It should be fine if you feed her this medicine." Tinari put the medicine on the table and left quickly again.

Only Paimon and Narcida were left staring at each other.

"Anahita, do you have a way to make an unconscious person drink medicine?" Paimon scratched his head.

"Uh... I've never tried it before. I heard there's a way to feed it mouth to mouth."

"Feeding medicine mouth to mouth? Hmm..."

Both of them were strangely quiet in the room.

"If we wait any longer the medicine will get cold. I'm afraid it will taste bitter. How about you try it?" Paimeng broke the silence.

"Okay! This is to save people."

Nashida helped Ying up and sat her on the bed. She took a sip of the medicine, held it in her mouth, and slowly moved towards Ying.

Paimon's eyes widened as he looked at Ying and Nashida, and Cole outside the window also widened his eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough. Sorry, I swallowed it." Their lips were less than 1 cm apart, and Nashida started coughing.

Two sighs were heard, one from Paimon and one from outside the window, making Paimon look out the window.

"Colai, why are you here?"

"Master asked me to come and help feed the medicine, but I didn't expect you guys had already started." Cole blushed and felt a little embarrassed. Next time if I go to Mondstadt, I will knock Amber unconscious first, and then I can... feed her the medicine.

"Then come on, Cole!" Paimon said.

"Actually, a person who fainted can still swallow, so just feed her little by little." Ke Lai took a spoon and fed Ying. But for some reason, his hand holding the medicine was shaking.

Nashida lowered her head and thought. "It seems that there is no such method in the Void Terminal."

"This is common sense! Common sense will not be recorded in the Void Terminal. Void Terminals are basically useless in Huachengguo, so few people here will wear Void Terminals. In terms of practicality, Liyue's phones and game consoles are more practical." Cole complained.

After a lot of effort, he finally fed Ying the medicine. Cole left. After a day of running around, Paimon went to sleep in Ying's arms. Only Nashida was left looking at the starry sky outside the window, wondering what she was thinking.

The lights were on in Tinari's house, and he was carefully examining the two vines.

"Master, I'm here." Cole walked in.

"Well, sit down. Please tell me in detail everything that happened today." Tinari said seriously.

"Eh? Master, did something serious happen?"

"It's not as simple as not being serious. It's extremely serious. Xumi's condition will become even worse."

“???” Countless question marks appeared above Cole’s head.

"I have been to Kawanyi and seen the miraculous anti-sand wall performed by the Great Kindness Tree King. I have also been to the location where the Small Auspicious Grass King was discovered 500 years ago. So I can be sure that the power of these two vines belongs to the Great Kindness Tree King, not the Small Auspicious Grass King.

The Great Compassion Tree King, who disappeared for 500 years, showed her power today. In other words, the Great Compassion Tree King is still alive!"

"What? The Great Compassion Tree King is still alive?"

"Yes, she is still alive, and that is the most troublesome thing. We don't know what her plan is? What is the purpose of trapping Anahita with vines? Everything will only be clear when the traveler wakes up.

You also know a lot about the situation in Xumi City. The Church of the Lords is undergoing a major purge, and soon the fire will spread to Huacheng. They represent the Great Compassion Tree King and the orthodoxy of Xumi, and the sages have many hidden means.

The Little Auspicious Grass King faction in Omos Port is also expanding, and has now taken over the west bank of Weimo Village. They are acting in the name of saving the Little Auspicious Grass King, and several bloody incidents have occurred on both sides of the river. Behind these people are the shadows of several major trading companies. Although they are weak, they are not short of money.

The descendants of the Red King in the desert were also expanding, and their old hatreds against the Order of the Lords were rekindled, which was not so easy to suppress. Although they were very powerful, they had few supplies and wealth. Not only did they encounter the problem of acclimatization due to the huge difference between the rainforest and desert environments, but they also encountered the problem of the Gilded Brigade having too many thoughts and not being united.

The Great Compassion Tree King happened to reappear at this time, and reappeared in this way. Once the news spreads, it will definitely increase the cohesion of the Order Institute."

"Master, don't you like the Order House?"

"What I don't like is the atmosphere at the top of the Faculty of Education. Most of them have become corrupt. On the contrary, the academic atmosphere among the students is still good."

"No wonder the master fled to this remote border city. Ouch, it hurts!" Cole was hit hard on the head by Tinari again.

"This is not about running away, but about avoiding trouble. Being on the sidelines will help you see things more clearly. By the way, how is your demonic scale disease?"

"It's even worse. It's grown onto my arms. If it weren't for the monster in my body constantly providing me with strength, I probably wouldn't even be able to hold a bowl."

"The number of dead zones has increased recently, and the erosion symptoms of the patients with demonic scale disease in the city have also increased a lot. I wonder if there is any connection between the two." Tinari looked at the sky. "You should go back and rest first. There are still many things to do tomorrow."

"Well, good night, Master. I'll be leaving now."

When Tinari saw that Cole had left, he looked at the vines left by the Great Mercy Tree King, and then looked at the bright starry sky outside the window.

"If this continues, can Xumi return to its original state? The Great Kindness Tree King, the Small Auspicious Grass King, and the descendants of the Red King, who will become the legitimate heir of Xumi? People at home are also within the sphere of influence of the Teachings Court, and they may also be faced with a choice. It is better to go back and ask them."

The next day.

Early in the morning.

"Is Ying okay? She has been sleeping all night." Paimon was flying above Ying worriedly.

"It's okay. Master has profound knowledge. She should wake up soon." Cole replied.

"Well, she's almost awake." Nashida saw that Ying's eyes had opened slightly.

Ying sat up from the bed and shook her head which had turned into a paste. Tinari, who had been waiting outside the door since early morning, heard the movement in the house and walked in.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Tinari asked.

"Still a little dizzy."

"After you fainted yesterday, did you see any hallucinations or anything like that?"

"I saw a very strange tree and heard a woman's voice speaking in my ear. It seemed to say...promise...to seal me..."

"...promise...to seal me?" Everyone in the room frowned.

"How should this sentence be interpreted? Whose promise? Why should it be sealed? What is in it that we don't know yet? And, why did you...'she' stop you from touching Ying?" Tinari turned and looked at Nashida.

"I don't know why 'she' did that..." Nashida replied.

"Ying was connected to the World Tree at that time. Not letting you touch Ying meant that she didn't want you to touch the World Tree. She must have a reason for not letting you touch the World Tree."

"Uh...who is this 'she' you are talking about?" Paimon asked curiously.

"..."

For a moment, the room became silent.

"The God of Xumi: the Great Kindness Tree King. It is so abnormal that the Great Kindness Tree King, who has been dead for 500 years, would re-display her power.

As a member of the Balokashuna clan, my ancestors were able to survive thanks to the grace of the Great Compassion Tree King. Therefore, I have an obligation to investigate the truth of the matter." Tinari said seriously.

“??? Do you want to arrest us for investigation?” Paimon put his hands on his hips and stomped his feet angrily.

"No, I will let Cole accompany you and record everything you do and say. You are new here and don't know the situation in Xumi. Investigating and interrogating you is meaningless. Besides, I have a lot of things to deal with here."

"Master, are you asking me to be a bad guy?"

Chapter 330 Everyone’s Thoughts

Tinari gave Cole a light slap on the head.

"I originally planned to have you study with Seno for a period of time, but this time I happened to encounter a special situation, so I just took advantage of the situation and made some arrangements in advance.

Following them to increase your own experience is also your learning topic. Whether you want to become a forest ranger or a scholar in the future, you still need to understand some of the ways of the world that belong to Xumi."

"Then you can't say it in front of them. How can I face them?" Cole said angrily.

"Because they have no reason to take you with them. Becoming an escort doesn't mean you can't be friends. They may need your help. I think if you come out in the open, they won't hate you because you're just doing what I ask."

"Master Tinari, you big bad guy!!!" Cole ran out.

"I'm sorry, my disciple is still very naive. Let her accompany you on the rest of the journey." Tinari looked at Ying and the others.

"Aren't you afraid that we might turn her against us?" Nashida asked.

"This is actually better. I have some guesses about Xumi's current situation. Although she may encounter danger if she follows you, she may gain more in the end. It is normal for a master to pave the way for his disciples."

"What a clever scholar." Nashida nodded.

"What are you talking about?" Paimeng, who was standing aside, scratched his head as he listened to the two people talking about something irrelevant.

Ying glanced at Nashida and Tinari but said nothing.

"By the way, I will have a class this afternoon to tell you about Xumi's common sense and the new policies of Xumi. After that, don't fall into the hands of the Church Council when you go to Xumi City. I don't have the ability to rescue you."

After saying this, Tinari left the place where Ying and the others lived. He looked back at the house they were in, and his suspicions grew instead of diminishing.

After all... not everyone is qualified to make the King of the Great Compassion Tree, who has been silent for 500 years, take action personally. There is an old saying in Fontaine: Eliminate all impossible situations, and what remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the fact. Anahita is likely...

When Ying and her group were receiving lessons from Tinari.

Inside the research institute in Mingyun Town, Liyue.

More than a hundred scientific researchers were looking at the special device outside the special glass. Lin Zixuan and Ningguang were also waiting here for the technicians to complete the debugging.
