People are telling stories in Genshin Impact

Chapter 557
A few minutes after agreeing to hire Clemons as a guest, Ningzhe regretted it.

Because he suddenly thought of the guest minister in the Past Life Hall, and thought of the phrase "same as Morax" in Clemons' words, and at the same time thought of Zhongli's extravagant spending on weekdays.

One bell is enough, another Clemons?
He and Hu Tao combined to raise these two old men?
When he thought that he would no longer be able to stay in the house, and would have to closely arrange his storytelling and novel writing schedules, and even go out to run business, Ningzhe felt dizzy and the world became dark.

Well, it's over now.

He originally thought about taking the walnuts to play around after the dust settled, and introducing them to his friends by the way, but looking at it now... the rest of his life might be spent running around for the expenses of these two old men!

"...Ah, that's how it is."

Ningzhe looked up at the sky, even though there was nothing there, he still looked there.

He realized that one person's retirement often represents another person's work.

It's like when Zhongli retired, Hu Tao went to work with him; but now that Clemons has retired, he still goes to work with Hu Tao.

"Little Zhe." Seeing Ningzhe like this, Lei Dian couldn't help but smile and said, "I have to say, you like this are more in line with my impression of you."

"Really? Why don't I think so?" Ningzhe turned his head and saw the thunder and lightning for a moment, he paused, and then said with some hesitation: "Sister Zhen, you don't think so."

"Yeah, I want to retire too. How about it, does Yunhai Bookstore welcome me?" Lei Dianzhen said with a smile.

"Of course!"

When facing Lei Dianzhen, Ning Zhe showed a completely different attitude from Clemons. He said excitedly: "Yunhai Bookstore is very big, but there are also many employees, and they are all trustworthy people. Usually, Lao Ning Although we don't need to put in more effort, even if he is learning the exercises from the immortal now, my sister can manage it for him!"

"So Zhenjie, I can guarantee that you can live a quiet, peaceful and comfortable life in Liyue!"

"What's the matter, Clemmons can't live this kind of life?" Seeing Ningzhe's appearance, Lei Dian was really relieved and helpless. She asked, "Where did that little guy who complained just now go?"

"Grandpa? Tsk."

Hearing this, Ningzhe just curled his lips, and glanced at the place where the old man had appeared before - at this time, Clemons had already disappeared, maybe he was looking for Morax.

"Well~ You have been together for more than ten years, and I don't doubt the relationship between you."

Lei Dian really walked up to Ningzhe, stretched out his hand to gently stroke his hair, and said slowly: "It's just that old man Clemons. He is different from Morax, and he may not be able to adapt to human life even more. .”

"is it?"

Ningzhe didn't resist Leiden's true hand, but after hearing her words, he remembered a not-so-good memory in Mond.

At the dance held by the Knights of the West Wind that year, Ningzhe hadn't even put on the gown yet, but the old man put it on himself—and judging by the appearance, it was clearly very suitable for human beings.

"Even I have to admit that in the beginning, Clemons' personality was similar to yours, Zhe."

Lei Dianzhen gently stroked Ningzhe's hair, and said softly: "He is the one among us who can get close to human beings, and at the same time, he is also the one who can best integrate into human beings."

"That's right, I totally agree with that." Ning Zhe also nodded, but soon, he seemed to remember something, and then shook his head hesitantly: "But I also have to admit that in some respects, he It is fundamentally different from humans."

Clemons is indeed very close to human beings, he also likes human culture, and he can even fully accept human beings—but that was before he experienced the disaster in [Millance].

Precisely because he was too close to mankind, and the end result of doing so was to bring destruction, to destroy the earth, to destroy mankind, to destroy everything - even to destroy himself.

Therefore, in the deepest part of his will, he does not allow himself to be any closer to humans.

That's why he will spare no effort to make Ningzhe, the human being who has been with him for more than ten years, a existence beyond human beings. Only in this way can Ningzhe eliminate all possibilities of being killed by [the sky].

After doing all this, he will give up on himself, that is, choose [retire].

".Yes." Lei Dianzhen also nodded with some emotion.

Her memory of Clemons is no longer as clear as it was at the beginning, and she has been waiting in the darkness for 500 years, and the darkness is constantly wearing her down—if it wasn't for the appearance of Ningzhe, who would take her out of the darkness and use the power of the leylines Protecting the source, I'm afraid she has completely dissipated.

That's why she understood the current Clemons and the choice Clemons made.

"Okay. I think it's enough time for them to reminisce about the old days. Shall we go and have a look?"

Lei Dian really withdrew his hand, and her figure began to gradually dissipate.

"of course."

Ningzhe nodded, and at the same time, a golden light gradually glowed around him.

The next moment, the corner of Aozang Mountain.

In the quiet mountain forest, a small stream flows slowly, and small flowers are dotted on the ground like stars.

The movements from the layered rock abyss spread widely, but under Ningzhe's advance protection, those movements did not spread to other places - some small animals still stayed here.

But soon, as a burst of golden light suddenly appeared, these small animals scattered and fled.

A few seconds later, the golden light dissipated, and Ningzhe appeared here.

However, as soon as he opened his eyes and saw the surrounding scene, Ning Zhe was stunned.

It's not because the scene in front of him is too strange, and it's not because there are several big shots standing here, but because - he's the only one here.

Yes, only him.

Whether it was Lei Dengzhen and Clemons who left before him, or Ruo Tuo Long Wang and Zhong Li who left the layered rock abyss long ago, they are not in this place, he is the only one here, and even the animals have just run away. .

".what?"

Ning Zhe glanced around, showing a bewildered expression.

Frankly speaking, he really didn't know where Clemmons and the others would go, but apart from the Layer Rock Abyss, this was obviously the most likely place.

After all, not far from here is the place where Dragon King Ruo Tuo was sealed
In Ningzhe's sight, the giant tree is still standing here. It is a giant tree watered by the flesh and blood of Dragon King Ruo Tuo, which also shows that this is the last place where he was sealed.

If it wasn't here, what else could it be.?

“It came pretty fast”

Suddenly, Dragon King Ruo Tuo appeared under the giant tree, facing Ning Zhe.

"Dragon King."

Facing this person, Ningzhe's expression became serious, especially after realizing that there was no one else around.

"Needless to say, I already understand."

However, Dragon King Ruo Tuo's attitude became calmer. He looked at Ning Zhe, and for the first time, there was a hint of "junior" in his eyes.

Ning Zhe obviously also noticed the change in Ruo Tuo Long Wang's eyes, but he still hesitated and didn't make a direct judgment.

What exactly did Zhong Li say to Dragon King Ruo Tuo?
