Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

They probably didn't expect that someone would take the opportunity to raid the underground prison to rescue people.

The only problem...the authenticity of this map...is unknown.

We cannot rule out the possibility that this is a trap.”

"Should we still try it?" Paimon didn't know what to choose.

Ying thought for a while and made up her mind.

"Go save people!"

"Well, this is the Ying I know."

1pm late at night.

Ying put on the mask of the Fatui and walked along the corner to the window of the library of the Knights of Favonius. He used the rock elemental power to create a rock hand and gently opened the window from the inside. When he was about to climb in, he suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Paimon asked in a low voice: "Ying, what's wrong?"

Ying looked towards a big tree not far away and replied, "There are others!"

He used the wind element to fly silently behind the big tree in an instant, and Paimon followed and looked up and down behind the big tree.

"It seems... there's no one else here? Am I seeing things?"

"Paimon, you actually ignored such an obvious barrel?" Ying said with her hands on her hips.

"Uh..." Paimon scratched his head and knocked on the barrel lid. "Is anyone there?"

"..."

Paimon pulled the lid of the barrel again, but it didn't move.

"Ying, I think we can take out 50 blunt swords and stab them into the wine barrels one by one, and we should be able to drink the sweet wine. It doesn't matter even if we stab someone. We can still afford the 30 Winter Credits as a ransom."

The wine barrel trembled, and a man stood up from inside the barrel holding a specially made barrel cover and said hurriedly: "Are you a demon?"

Ying and Paimeng raised their eyebrows, this person was the "strange bird" they encountered at dusk.

Paimon crossed his arms, looked at the strange bird and said, "Explain why you followed us. Don't even think about running away. We are very powerful."

"Uh...uh...uh..." The strange bird looked at them embarrassedly.

"Are you a member of the Fatui? Or is there something wrong with the map?" Ying gathered the element of lightning in his hands.

"I'm not a fool! The map is authentic! I definitely didn't lie to you!"

"Then what is your purpose in following us? You have already received 200 million, you can go gambling or live a good life."

"Only 200 million... it's too little."

"Is 200 million not enough?" Paimon asked in surprise.

“For those of us who have the means, money is not a big problem for us.

What we need is...'stimulation'! The pleasure brought by stimulation is the most wonderful taste in the world. It is more than ten times stronger than the phantom pleasure brought by those music. "The strange bird said excitedly.

"Is it exciting? What does this have to do with you following us? You don't want to save people too, do you?" Ying held up her chin and looked at the man.

"Rescue people? I'm not interested." The strange bird waved his hand and continued, "Have you ever heard of the pinnacle of weapons... artifacts?"

"Artifact...Mond's artifact seems to be the Sky Harp enshrined in the church?" Paimon interrupted.

"Hey, it's not that kind of useless thing. It's a real artifact, a real treasure, and its name is: Pride of the Sky.

It is said that the wind god Barbatos used this weapon to split the clouds, cut the sky to the left and right like a heavy sword, and split the dragon Durin in half.

The Knights of Favonius were able to blow up the latest flying battleship, which must have been due to the power of the divine weapon.

If I can get this weapon, people will buy it even if it costs 200 billion, not to mention 200 million!" The eyes of the strange bird glowed with blazing light.

"200 billion???" Paimon's eyes also turned into the shape of Mora.

"Hmph, I'll decide how much it's sold for. After all, it's a divine weapon, not just any ordinary stuff. What's more, that's what my master, the previous 'Monster Bird', failed to do until his death. If I can get the divine weapon, the name of 'Monster Bird' will resound throughout Teyvat."

"You have investigated the underground prison of the Fatui Embassy so thoroughly, which means... the artifact is inside?

But because someone is guarding it, you can't get it with your strength, so you deliberately prepared to trick the Knights of Favonius and let them divert the attention of the Fatui so that you can act more conveniently. Right?" Ying summarized the relevant information.

"We each take what we need. I need the artifact, and the Knights of Favonius need to rescue people. The risks on both sides won't be too different, so don't blame me. Without my intelligence map, it would be impossible to get in.

But I didn't expect that you would actually go in like this. If you die, this intelligence map will be discovered, and it will be more difficult to get the artifact. "

Ying and Paimon looked at each other, put their hands on their hips, and looked at the strange bird.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Ying immediately placed the sword in her hand on the neck of the strange bird.

"So now... you are the one who needs help to divert attention. Um... in order to prevent you from sneaking away in the middle of the journey, we need to get some insurance."

A collar made of vines appeared around the strange bird's neck.

"This vine collar will strangle you to death if I want to," Ying said.

"Ah? No...I...I..." The strange bird pulled the vine collar around its neck, but found that it couldn't be pulled away at all.

"Lead the way! After it's done, I will give you another 200 million. If you run away halfway... hehe." Ying showed a disdainful expression.

"No, once the invasion reaches the last level, they will definitely set up a dragnet to capture you. Are you sure you can escape? If you want to die, don't take me with you!" the strange bird exclaimed.

"We certainly have a way to leave Mondstadt. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up! Or... do you want to die now?"

The strange bird didn't expect that it would become the other party's prisoner due to a misjudgment, so it had to walk in front unwillingly to lead the way. As for what evil ideas were in his mind, only he himself knew.

Paimon leaned close to Ying's ear and whispered, "Ying...that vine collar..."

"Shh... we were lying to him. It's just a resilient vine." Ying blinked and answered in a low voice.

Paimon gave a thumbs up. "Hehe, this way we don't have to worry about the authenticity of the map."

3pm late at night.

The three of them have arrived near the entrance to the seventh floor and are hiding in the dark.

"I can't help you from now on." The strange bird said softly, pointing into the distance.

Ying and Paimon stretched their heads over to take a look at the situation in the distance.

A clerk sat on a chair. There were eight Fatui standing guard around him. Two Wind Fists, two Thunder Hammers, two Fire Gunners, and two Rock Staffs.

"No wonder you can't break through here. It's not a problem, I can solve it." Ying said, about to get up.

"Wait, can you really solve it?" the strange bird said in surprise.

"There are more than nine people. Do you see the doors on both sides? There are people inside. There are 18 people in total, and they are divided into two groups.

The most important thing is the button next to the desk of the clerk! Once it is pressed, the alarm will make the entire underground people surround this place completely."

"Do you have any other information? Don't hide it. Whether we can go down to the next level depends on your information."

"No, there are many devices here that I have never seen before, such as those red semicircular and light blue semicircular devices hanging on the wall. Those things are connected by many pipes. They should be some nodes, right?" The strange bird pointed to the unknown device on the wall.

Ying looked at the strange device and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Let's ignore these devices for now and deal with these people first."

The ten rock creations hit the bright light on top one by one, plunging the entire area into darkness, with purple lightning flashing in the darkness.

A minute later, Ying took out the oil lamp and illuminated the area.

"It's solved. You can come over." After Ying finished speaking, he condensed a large barren planet and imprisoned 18 unconscious Fatui inside.

"So... so strong!" The strange bird then realized how big the gap between them was.

"Hurry up and go!" Ying looked back at the device on the wall and noticed something wrong.

The three of them rushed down the stairs and finally reached the seventh underground floor.

The sudden light made them squint their eyes, and then they began to look around again.

"here it is?"

Paimon looked at the vast platform in front of him, with towering walls all around it, and the seats above the walls were almost all full.

"Oh no! It's a trap! Where is the strange bird?" Ying reacted suddenly and found that the strange bird was gone.

"Boom!" The door behind them suddenly closed.

"Ohhhh~~~" Countless Mond people on the platform cheered.

A scantily clad emcee spoke from above: "Hello, two rats who have infiltrated Mondstadt! Welcome to the Colosseum in Mondstadt.

Our audience can’t wait to see the rat being torn to pieces, so let me reveal the rat’s opponent!

The opponent is...

The great sinner who poisoned 3000 people in Qingquan Town and had the blood of the Katzlein family... the traitor Diona!!!"

"Ohhhh~~~" Cheers echoed throughout the Colosseum.

A figure walked over from the opposite gate. Her soft and slender body was covered with various scars, and only a few pieces of cloth were used to wrap the vital parts. Her long pink hair was draped behind her, and her cat tail was swaying gently behind her. She looked at Ying and Paimon with sharp eyes.

Chapter 438: Using 'rules' to defeat 'rules'

"Di...Diona?" Paimon looked at the person opposite him in surprise. "How could Diona poison the people of Qingquan Town? Did she do something wrong?"

"I have no hatred or grudge against you, outsiders...but I have to survive. So...I'm sorry."

After Diona finished speaking coldly, red marks appeared on her face and body, her nails became sharp, and her green pupils turned vertical. The air around her began to distort, emitting a powerful force.

"Look! Diona has activated the secret technique of the Katzlein family. The two mice that sneaked into Mondstadt are about to be torn to pieces by the cat! Everyone open your eyes and watch, the winner will be decided in an instant!" The host roared from above to liven up the atmosphere.

"Oh oh oh~~~" Warm cheers rang out again all around.

"Are you looking down on me?" Diona couldn't help feeling angry when she saw Ying was observing her surroundings and not paying attention to her.

"No... I'm thinking about how to escape."

"Escape? Ha...hahaha...you want to escape after coming to a place like this? Once they put a slave collar on you, your future will be to die in the Colosseum!" Diona laughed angrily.

"There is another way to stop this battle." Ying said calmly.

"Eh? Is there any other way?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Ransom money!"

"! ! ! "Paimon was stunned for a moment.

Ying used the element of wind to spread her voice and said loudly: "Praise the wind god Barbatos! It was indeed my fault to sneak into the Embassy of the Kingdom of Winter, but I have decided to atone for my reckless and stupid behavior. How much atonement do I need to pay to offset this sin?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience around him were immediately ignited. The discussions... the laughter... the overwhelming echo in the Colosseum.

"This is the right of atonement granted to us by the wind god Barbatos. I think you should tell me how much atonement I need to pay to absolve me of any guilt."

The discussion on the stage became more heated.

"So arrogant and domineering!"

"No, she has the evidence! With so many people watching, Mond must give a fair and specific amount of redemption money. If she can pay it off, then she can redeem herself. That's the rule! Unless Mond dares to disobey the rules he set in front of everyone!"

“This is even an atonement witnessed by the wind god Barbatos. No one dares to break the rules set by the gods, right?

If she cannot atone for her sins, it means that people in the future will not be able to atone for their sins either. The crime of sneaking into the Embassy of the Kingdom of Winter is not a serious one, and is even much lighter than the crime of Diona's massacre in Qingquan Town."

"The Colosseum might fail this time. Although they will definitely bid a higher price, they will not bid an unaffordable price. The rules of the Colosseum...are no match for the rules of the wind god Barbatos.

If you dare to ask for a sky-high price... then Mondstadt will probably be in chaos. Asking for a sky-high price for petty theft, which is heavier than murder, is an insult to the majesty of God."

"Anyway, there will be something interesting to watch this time."

......

While people were discussing, the host had already hurried off to inform the person in charge.

Seeing this, Diona also dispersed her secret technique and gasped for breath. It was estimated that she would not be able to fight for a while. Those who could pay the ransom would not enter the Colosseum, and only those who could not pay the ransom would enter.

This time, the Colosseum let in a person of unknown origin, which allowed her to find the Colosseum's biggest flaw. However, it couldn't be considered a flaw, after all, all the people who were caught in the Colosseum couldn't afford the ransom.

It's just... the Colosseum's means...

Seeing Ying approaching step by step, Diona immediately showed her sharp claws and made a threatening fighting stance.

"Diona, don't panic. We can take this opportunity to have a good talk." Ying hurriedly comforted her.

"What to talk about?"
