Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

The most amazing thing among them is probably the ingenious huge house. The house was built according to the traditional aesthetic concept of Liyue. It was built against the mountain and has eaves like an eagle's spread wings. The house is divided into multiple floors and has a white marble foundation. The overall appearance is solemn and majestic, not inferior to any building in Yujingtai, but it is inexplicably harmonious with the surrounding environment.

——To be precise, it is like the core of the entire cave, and the rest exist to set it off.

Facing the house is the yard, which has rockery and some artificial landscapes. There is a small bamboo forest on one side, as well as a small piece of land. There are also a few scattered fruit trees a little further away from here. According to Li Shui's intention, they have not filled it up yet. If Amber has any ideas, she can add decorations herself later.

After that, Lishui walked into the house and introduced the decoration to Amber in detail. There were studies, kitchens, multiple bedrooms, leisure rooms for entertainment, storage rooms and even other rooms. It was extremely rich, as if the mansion of a wealthy family was moved to a stunning location in the wilderness of Liyue, and then this entire stunning location was placed in a suitcase.

"How do you feel?" More than two hours later, when Lishui finished his introduction, he asked Amber this as he and the others stood in the small pavilion on the top of the mountain, overlooking the scenery below.

It is quite strange. This is clearly a paradise in a box, but there is still sky and clouds, day and night, but the weather is always the most comfortable one - of course, Amber can also adjust itself.

"I don't know how to describe it... but I like it very much. The two immortals are really thoughtful." Amber's words came from the heart. She responded to the two immortals in this way. Liuyun was quite proud when she heard it, but Lishui was much more restrained in comparison. Although there was joy in his eyes, he just nodded.

"This scene is more shocking than the common buildings in Xumi. It's really exciting to think that I will live here in the future." Nashida's face was full of smiles. Although she cared more about whether she could live with Amber than how beautiful this place was, the scenery in front of her was still worthy of recognition.

After that, several people left the cave. Liu Yun handed a manual to Amber, saying that it was the user manual of the cave. Amber naturally did not come here without anything. She started a fire on the spot and cooked some Sumeru dishes for the two immortals to taste.

The mixed mushrooms learned from Tinari, the improved version of pocket flatbread mentioned by Cole, the wonderful Tandoori chicken with the freshness of mushrooms and spices, and the grilled mushroom pizza developed by Amber herself, the Sumeru-style cuisine that is based on spices or highlights the original flavors of the ingredients, made the two immortals feel quite novel, and they were quite satisfied with these new flavors.

"This pocket pie is somewhat similar to Liyue's Mora meat, but it is more convenient to carry. I quite like it. How about telling me the recipe later?" Liu Yun was interested in Mora meat. This kind of pie-like thing is not common in Liyue. Liyue usually relies on frying, stir-frying, boiling, and stewing. Roasting is usually used as a simple cooking method. Other countries have made more in-depth research in this area.

This is not to say that Liyue cuisine is not good enough. On the contrary, Liyue cuisine has dominated in many aspects, and grilling is just one of its relatively imperfect aspects.

"I quite like the spices in these dishes. The spices in Liyue are not as diverse as those in Xumi, but it's rare to taste such flavors." Lishui commented. Upon hearing this, Amber suggested giving Lishui some spices and spice seeds, and Lishui readily agreed.

There was also some desire in Liuyun's eyes, but she was not as thick-skinned as Lishui and was too embarrassed to speak up. Amber, who saw this, gave Liuyun some on the grounds that since she was going to give some, she might as well give some, along with the recipe for pocket cakes, which made Liuyun smile happily.

For a moment, the scene seemed to have turned into a cooking exchange meeting. Lishui taught Amber some of his favorite Liyue dishes, and Liuyun proposed a dessert she created called "rice pudding" to Amber.

After a pleasant exchange, Amber said goodbye to the two fairies. She was originally dressed in a Fontainebleau style, and now she was carrying a suitcase, which made her look even more elegant. The feeling of carrying a suitcase with a special world inside reminded Amber of a movie she loved very much in her previous life.

Although she could no longer remember the name, Amber remembered that this was a world with all kinds of magical animals. There was a small world in the protagonist's suitcase, where all kinds of magical animals were kept - so, could she also find an opportunity to keep some pets or something?

"Should we go to Dunyuling next?" Nashida asked after the two of them walked down Mount Aozang.

"Yes, let's head towards the South Heavenly Gate and follow the river southeast. After passing a ruin, we'll reach our destination a short distance ahead." Amber raised her head and gazed at the sky, her eyes full of thought. "After all, this is the first thing Ningguang asked me to do after the disaster, so we have to take it seriously. Let's hurry up."

Amber held Nashida's hand as usual, and the two of them slowly approached the direction of Dunyu Ridge. The figures, one tall and one short, gradually walked away.

Chapter 51: Abnormal

"Miss Naife, you are here." At Dunyu Ridge, the Qianyan Army guarding the road saluted respectfully when they saw Amber. Amber nodded slightly in greeting.

"What's the current situation in Dunyu Ridge?" Amber didn't refuse too much and chose to get straight to the point. This time, Ningguang asked her to solve this matter. Liyue's main forces are currently invested in reconstruction and guarding during this special period after the disaster. There are not many really idle people, which is why she was asked to do this.

"The situation has become more serious in the past few days. Unfortunately, the Qianyan Army no longer has the manpower to conduct an in-depth investigation. The captain can only lead us to guard the surrounding roads, notify passers-by not to get close, and be alert to any possible movements." The Qianyan Army soldier named Dai Pai explained to Amber as efficiently as possible, and Amber nodded when he heard it.

In recent days, many ruins guards have suddenly appeared in Dun Yuling. Originally, such ancient mechanical creations were everywhere. Most of them have become scrap metal, and most of the remaining ones are dormant. Only a very small part is still active. Therefore, even though they are highly dangerous, they are not a big problem after all.

——Of course, it is different when they appear in large numbers like they are now in Dun Yuling. This large and activated group of ruins guards is extremely dangerous.

"I understand. I will first clear out the ruins guards wandering around here, and then start the investigation. During this period, please continue to perform your current work." Amber thought for a moment and gave a plan. Dai Pai nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although their Qianyan Army is already very strong for ordinary people, they are still not enough to face the iron lumps like the ruins guards. It would be a blessing to have a master willing to take action.

"Thank you Miss Nefi for your help. We, the Thousand Rocks Army, will always remember this favor!" Dai Pai straightened his back and saluted again. Amber nodded and took Nashida to a place. She set her eyes on the ruins of a tower that had been destroyed but was quite tall.

"Boom! Boom!" In the middle of the journey, heavy noises reached their ears. Amber took the initiative to sense it and found that it was the ruins guard who was wandering on the road they had to pass.

The Ruins Guardian is a two-legged, two-armed robot with its main components concentrated in the upper body, which makes it much bulkier than the lower body. Its joints can usually rotate 360 ​​degrees and have a hydraulic structure. There are six pairs of guided missile launch ports on its back.

Their heavy legs and arms, which are almost as long as their bodies, are their main means of attack. Every blow from their heavy metal limbs is so powerful that ordinary people cannot resist it, which makes them very dangerous.

There are many different opinions about the origin of these machines. The current academic community believes that the Relic Guards and other similar relic robots were created by the extinct Ancient Dark Kingdom. The extinction of the Ancient Dark Kingdom has been at least five hundred years ago. It is incredible that these relic robots can still operate after a hundred years.

"Do you want to go around it?" Nashida looked at Amber. Amber shook her head and said, "No, we have to clean it up eventually. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later."

After she finished speaking, a large bow over one meter long appeared in Amber's hand. This was the model she often used. As for the crossbow, considering her current strength, it was not of sufficient value, so she put it aside.

Amber gathered her strength and jumped up, landing on a big rock. She bent her bow and aimed her arrow at the ruins guard who was less than a hundred meters away. The ruins guard also discovered Amber at this time.

Its upper body quickly rotated half a circle at the waist, aiming the guided missile launch port on its back at Amber. At the same time, its iron arms grasped the ground tightly like nails as additional support. Each guided missile of the ruins guard had considerable power, but the time from charging to launching was still too slow for Amber.

The Ruins Guardian has two weaknesses, one on the head and one on the back. The weakness on the back is only exposed when it is accumulating energy before launching a missile, while the weakness on the front is always exposed to the air. These two weaknesses are as conspicuous as eyes, and that is the light emitted by the power reactor.

Amber was naturally aiming at its weakness. The dark golden energy flow wrapped around the arrow and was completely compressed into the arrow in an instant. The arrow that was finally pushed out by the bowstring looked ordinary at first glance, but it pierced through the core of the ruins guard with unparalleled force and penetrated deeply into the large rock behind it. Even the hard rock was pierced and cracked by this blow.

Amber did not stop. She pulled the bowstring again, and another arrow was shot. The arrow drew an arc in the air, crossed hundreds of meters and accurately hit the core of another relic guard wandering here.

"Huh..." Amber put the arrow on the bow again. Although Dai Pai had previously stated that there were many ruins guards wandering around here, it was still quite surprising to actually see them. In this small area of ​​ruins, there were three ruins guards just on the road leading to the broken tower. It seemed that the situation was indeed serious to a certain extent.

"That number isn't normal..." Nashida muttered to herself when Amber returned to her side. Amber agreed with Nashida's opinion. "Indeed, according to common sense, having two active Ruins Guardians in this area is already quite rare, but based on my previous perception... there are a full twenty-one."

"So many?!" Nashida widened her eyes. This was not just abnormal, there was definitely something fishy going on. How could there be so many under normal circumstances!

"Either something went wrong with the ruins, and the still active ruins guards came out in full force, or maybe it was a conspiracy by someone with ulterior motives... But that's not something we should consider right now. Let's get to the tower first."

"Yeah." Nashida nodded, and they began to concentrate on rushing to the tower. Under the tower, they easily climbed to the top with the help of Nashida's jumping mushroom. Amber carefully sensed again and finally confirmed that there were a total of twenty ruins guards still active here, plus the three she had destroyed before, a total of twenty-three.

Amber did not delay and continued to draw her bow and shoot arrows in silence. In just a moment, most of the ruins guards present were eliminated by Amber. The continuous shooting made Amber's wrist a little sore. She waved her hand to rest for a while, but at this moment she suddenly perceived that there was one more person.

"Huh?" Amber looked carefully and found that the person coming here was a child. He ran straight to a ruins guard that Amber had destroyed. There was no adult accompanying him around. This scene made Amber feel quite strange.

Even though Liyue is a country with very good public security, the wild is not safe either. Smugglers, treasure-hunting groups, and even various monsters may die if they are unlucky. How could a child come here under such circumstances?

For a moment, Amber had no time to rest. She grabbed several arrows and started shooting one after another. After making sure that there were no wandering ruins guards, Amber put away the bow and arrow, picked up Nashida, jumped off the tower and rushed to where the child was. She was so fast that she seemed to be flying close to the ground.

"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?" Nashida was obviously already accustomed to such scenes, and she asked Amber.

"A child suddenly barged in here, and there was no adult accompanying him. This is very strange!" Amber narrowed her eyes slightly, but suddenly stopped halfway through. She looked in one direction, her brows slightly furrowed. "What's going on? They're running towards this side one by one. Are those Thousand Rock Army soldiers really working seriously?"

"Wait, that's not right. This aura is... Ying, and Paimon. How could they be here? Could that child be them...?" Amber muttered to herself in a low voice. Nashida heard all these mutterings. She knew what Amber was thinking about, so she didn't say anything to disturb her.

In Amber's perception, Ying was approaching the child quickly. Seeing this, she did not hesitate any longer and set off again. Finally, the two groups met together beside the child.

"Amber...! And Nashida, why are you here?" Paimon widened her eyes. She had never expected such a coincidence. Amber was determined to go and see how the child was doing, so Nashida gave the answer.

"We were entrusted by Tianquanxing to come and solve the unusual gathering of ruins guards in Dunyuling. But why did you two suddenly come here?" Nashida responded, she lowered her head slightly, her tone full of confusion.

"Paimon and I were exploring the ruins in the wild and happened to come here. We found a lot of destroyed ruins guards here. And then we saw this child, so we hurried over to take a look." At this point, Ying suddenly realized, "Wait... Did you kill those ruins guards?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Nashida nodded with a smile. Ying's face showed a brief surprise, but then it turned into realization. She still remembered the favor of Amber who helped her block Xiao's attack. When she thought about it carefully, it made sense - she really didn't expect Amber to be so good at fighting.

"Ah? That's five ruins guards! How did they do that?" Paimon widened his eyes. Although these Yings could do it, Paimon obviously always thought that Amber was not strong in combat, so he was very shocked.

"Five? Actually, there are more than that. Before coming here, a total of twenty-three ruins guards roaming around were eliminated."

"..." A long silence stretched out, and for a moment the only sound left was the conversation between Amber and the child not far away. However, Ying and Paimon no longer had the energy to pay attention to the situation over there.

Thousands of words gathered in Ying's heart, and they finally turned into a word. Ying opened her mouth slightly, and the powerful words blurted out.

"what?"

Chapter 52: "You are good at coaxing children"

Amber had plenty of experience dealing with children, so with just a few words, she understood what the situation was. She really didn't expect such a wonderful thing to happen.

When she walked up to the group with the boy named Tok, what she saw were the stunned expressions of Ying and Paimon.

"What's wrong?" Amber's eyes flashed with some doubt. She looked at Ying and Paimon, "What's going on with you? Is there any problem?"

"...There's a problem, a big problem." Paimon was brought back from her daze by Amber's words. She looked at Amber and said, "Amber, you are so powerful, why didn't you tell us before?"

"Haha, you didn't ask." Amber was calm when she heard that, and smiled and brushed off the question. Paimon thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be the case. She decisively chose not to continue to delve into it.

"... Let's get back to the point. What's going on with this kid? Why is he here alone?" Ying walked over, half-crouching on the ground and greeting Toke. "Hello, my name is Ying. What's your name, little one? Judging from your attire, you must be from Winter Solstice, right? Why are you here alone?"

"Hello, big sister! My name is Tok. I came here to look for my brother, who is the best toy salesman in the Kingdom of Winter! I met the one-eyed little treasure on the way and came to see him. This is the first time I have actually seen the one-eyed little treasure! It turns out that it is so - big!" Tok's words were full of the vitality unique to children, and he was also relatively polite, which made him quite likable.

"Brother? Your brother is in Liyue? And the one-eyed little treasure..." Paimon waved her fingers. She really couldn't understand some of the names the child said.

"That one, right?" Ying's brain was still working well. She pointed to the fallen ruins guard beside her. Toke nodded and said, "Yes! That's One-Eyed Xiaobao! Toke likes One-Eyed Xiaobao very much. My brother said that One-Eyed Xiaobao is a partner of justice!"

"...Ah?" Those words, enough to express so many emotions, were uttered again, but this time it was Paimon who said it. "But the Ruins Guardians are very dangerous, they're not toys. It's so irresponsible for an older brother to say that to his younger brother!"

"One-eyed little treasure is not dangerous! Don't talk nonsense!" After hearing Paimon's words, Tok became a little anxious. Ying frowned as she looked at everything in front of her. No matter what, the guards of the ruins are always too dangerous for ordinary people. If the child retains such cognition, some accidents will inevitably happen in the future.

"Tok, if you encounter such ruins guards in the wild in the future, it's better to stay away from them." There was a hint of worry in Ying's words, but unfortunately her words could not reach Tok's heart.

"Sister is lying! Sister is cheating, sister is a bad person!"

"Ah..." Ying held her forehead with one hand and sighed deeply. She didn't expect that the child who was very polite at first could have such a side to her. She couldn't reason with him, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this time, a hand was placed on Tok's head. It was Amber. She took off Tok's hat and rubbed his head. This successfully made Tok stop. He looked at Amber with some confusion.

"Tok lives in the Kingdom of Winter, right? You must have seen wolves, right?" Amber asked, half-kneeling in front of Tok with a gentle smile on her face. Tok nodded and said, "Yes, there are lots of wolves in the wilds of the Kingdom of Winter! They travel in packs and sometimes attack people. They're really bad guys!"

"Then Toke has seen a dog, right? Does Toke like dogs?"

"I like it!" Toke became a little excited and nodded vigorously. "Dogs are very affectionate. They can guard the house and help people hunt rabbits. Toke likes dogs!"

Ying and Paimon came to the sidelines, not knowing what Amber was talking about. Seeing Toke's reaction, Amber raised her lips slightly and spoke again, "Does Toke know that a long time ago, dogs and wolves were actually the same animal?"

"Hmm...really?" Toke's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe it. Amber nodded and added, "Yes, Toke, think about it carefully. Don't dogs and wolves look alike?"

"It seems so, but dogs wag their tails and are very friendly, while wolves are just vicious." Tok thought for a while and nodded.

"Yes, dogs were originally wolves, and they did things like wolves. But later, some people made some wolves realize that this was wrong. They lived with these wolves, and the wolves also realized their mistakes in the process, and gradually became the dogs they are today."

"Wow... So the dog had such a past? So cool!" Tok's eyes were full of light for a moment. Such a "turning over a new leaf" plot was hard for a child of this age to resist. Seeing that the time was ripe, Amber got to the point under the puzzled gazes of Ying and Paimon.

"Actually, the same goes for One-Eyed Little Treasure. That Sister Ying just now didn't really lie to Toke. It's like wolves and dogs. Those who attack people are the guardians of the ruins, and those who protect people are One-Eyed Little Treasure."

“……?!” For a moment, three of the people present widened their eyes. Tok was shocked by this statement, while Ying and Paimon did not expect that Amber had gone through such a big detour for these reasons. They did not expect that there was such a method - the key is that it seems to really work!

"Really? Sister didn't lie to Toke?" Toke's words were a little hesitant. Of course, he didn't quite believe what Amber said, but the attitude that Amber had shown before made Toke feel that the sister in front of him didn't seem like a bad person, so there was room for discussion.

"Yes, just like some wolves became dogs because someone made them realize their mistakes, the people who turned the ruins guards into the righteous one-eyed little treasures were salespeople like Tok's brother. They're really amazing."

"Wow! Brother is so awesome!" Toke was convinced by Amber's words in just a moment. It can only be said that it is extremely important to find the right method when communicating with children. Ying felt that the situation was very tricky, but Amber solved it in just a moment.

"—So, shouldn't Tok apologize to Sister Ying? Sister Ying said that because she's worried about you. After all, these ruins guards out in the wild who haven't been educated by Tok's brother are really dangerous."

"Hmm..." Tok hesitated a little after hearing this. He seemed to still be resentful about something, but the fact that he didn't refuse directly showed that there was still room for negotiation.

"If you do something wrong, you should apologize and make amends. It's not something a good child would do to not admit your mistake. If Tok's brother heard Tok doing this, he would be very sad, right?" Amber struck while the iron was hot. Perhaps she brought up Tok's brother, and this time Tok nodded seriously without any hesitation.

He came to Ying's side and bowed to her solemnly to apologize. Ying was not the kind of person who would get angry with a child. She touched Tok's head and the little friction was over.

"You know how to coax children." Paimon flew to Amber and watched everything, commenting so. For a moment, the look in Ying's eyes when she looked at Amber also conveyed the same meaning.

"Children's minds are simple. We just need to find the right method." Amber took Nashida's hand. "We've cleared out the ruins guards nearby, but we haven't yet discovered the reason for their sudden appearance. Let's take Tok to Liyue Harbor and hand him over to his brother. As for the investigation of the cause, we'll leave it to the Thousand Winds Army."

"Well, it's quite scary to leave such a little kid here." Paimon nodded. She conveyed Amber's proposal to Ying, and Amber told Tok that she would take him to find his brother, and Tok readily agreed.

After notifying the surrounding Thousand Winds Army, Amber and his group began to rush to Liyue Port. On the way, they asked Tok how he got here. According to Tok, he boarded a ship bound for Liyue from Zhidong, and after getting off the ship, he walked to Dunyu Ridge.

The problem was that Dunyu Ridge was over ten kilometers away from the nearest river. How had this child gotten here? And wouldn't a normal ship dock directly at Liyue Harbor? Could this be a smuggling ship, or perhaps a Fatui troop transport?

For a moment, everyone present was worried for Toke. This kid was really... full of action. It was a little too scary.

Amber asked Tok about the characteristics of the ship, but was told that the ship left shortly after docking, which saved them from disaster.

At noon, several people had a meal in the wild. Tok was unexpectedly strong. He didn't feel tired after running for several hours after lunch. No wonder he could run from the nearest water area to Dunyu Ridge.

After arriving in Liyue Harbor, Tok went straight to the Northland Bank. This was a place that the Winter People who traveled to other countries usually had to visit, so it was a good idea to come here to look for information.

But when they pushed open the door, they were stunned by what they saw. They saw the executive named Gongzi standing in the hall, and Tok called him "brother".

"Ah?" Ying and Paimon's voices intertwined and merged together, and Amber also showed a rare surprise. There was no such trivial thing in her memory. She really didn't expect that the child she met by chance would actually be Tartaglia's biological brother.

"Hahaha, Tok, why are you here?" Tartaglia was overjoyed to see his brother coming. This happiness probably came from the heart. He picked up Tok, lifted him up high and then put him down. After the initial excitement, he realized the problem.

"Wait... Tok, how did you get here? Why didn't your brother receive the news?" Tartaglia was full of doubts, and after Tok explained, he was also dumbfounded. He also didn't expect his younger brother to do such a thing.

But it was obvious that he couldn't bear to quarrel with his younger brother, and finally just told Toke not to do that again. Toke also mentioned what Amber had said to him before, and Tartaglia agreed with it. It seemed that he realized the inappropriateness of those words through this accident.

"I never thought that Tok's toy salesman brother is actually you, Tartaglia." There was a hint of teasing in Amber's words. Looking at the scene in front of her, she could basically guess that Tartaglia was probably hiding her real job from Tok, and Ying also guessed this. Amber did not point it out explicitly, and Ying also suppressed it temporarily.

"Although I heard you were here, I never thought we would meet again under such circumstances, Ms. Nephi." Tartaglia nodded to Amber and introduced her to Tok. "This sister is Nephi, the one I mentioned in my previous letter to Tok, who taught me archery. The other sister... is a traveler I met in Liyue."

Tartaglia was probably afraid of being exposed at this time, so he kept hinting to Ying with his eyes. Ying pretended not to see it, which made Tartaglia very anxious, but she didn't say much in the end. After all, Toke was an innocent child, and there was no need to harm the child because of the hatred between her and Tartaglia.

"Nefe? Does Amber have a name like that?" Paimon raised his doubts. Amber's face remained unchanged upon hearing this. She once again demonstrated her superb ability to lie with her eyes open. "I'm from the desert. I'm the half-blood of a scholar from the Rainforest Order and a member of the Sand People. Amber is my Sand People name, and Nefe is the name I used when I was studying at the Order. You can call me either one if you like."

"Yes, I met Ms. Amber near the House of the Lord. She was really powerful. We had a good fight and it was really enjoyable." Tartaglia showed a very cheerful smile, but hidden in his eyes was a strong desire to fight.

After parting with Ying, he was basically tied to the Fatui for a month. Because of the evidence left by the bad things he planned, Ningguang killed all the Fatui at the diplomatic negotiation table. At that time, most of the diplomats were secretly cursing Tartaglia.
