People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 210 Cole and Amber Rushing to Liyue
"make a deal!"

"."

"."

In the afternoon, three bowls of tea were placed on the tea table at the edge of the hill.
After stating the commission's reward,
Even though I was mentally prepared for Wendy's shamelessness,
But Lin Feng and Zhongli fell into a brief silence as they watched the God of Wind's movements, which were like a wild beast protecting its food.

And when the green-clad bard held the two bottles of wine tightly in his hands, he carefully hid the advance deposit into his own small treasury.

The conversation between the two continued with Wendy looking relieved.

"Well, since you are so sincere, even for the sake of our friendship, I can't help but help you~"

"—Tell me, what are the distinctive features of the person you are looking for?
The richer the details, the more efficient it is to find. "

Wendy chuckled and patted the white lining on her chest with her left hand.
He acted as if he was confident in handing the task over to him and would ensure that it was completed.

"."

"Well, I haven't met her in person, so I can't provide her with any detailed features."

???

Wendy looked confused.

But just when he wanted to complain that they had never met, what was he looking for?
The young man in front of him continued:

"But since I have asked you to help find someone, I can naturally provide you with enough obvious features for you to find the other person."

".Friend, have you ever seen each other in a dream?"

Wendy finally couldn't resist the urge to complain.

"Ahem, that's about right. Given the deep connection between the grass element and dreams, just think of it as something I saw in a dream."

After a slight pause, he recalled Cole's appearance during this period.

Lin Feng began to describe:

".physical features"

"——Female, thin, with short green hair that is very rare in Mondstadt.

The eyes were light purple and there might be some bandages wrapped around the body. That was about it.”

"."

The words fell,

Although Wendy on the side was still a little confused as to how Lin Feng knew such detailed information without ever meeting him.

But because these characteristics are already sufficient for him, in order to get the promised good wine as soon as possible,
He couldn't wait to close his eyes and began to listen to the "flowing wind" that spread between heaven and earth.

After a while,

Under Lin Feng's expectant gaze, Wendy, who looked tired, slowly opened her eyes.
Somewhat strangely he said:
".No? Friend, are you sure that the girl you mentioned is really in Mondstadt now?"

"Although I am a little weak, if the other party is really in Mondstadt, it shouldn't be difficult to find him."

"Can't find it? That shouldn't be the case."

Lin Feng was also a little surprised after hearing Wendy's answer.
Xumi was their territory after all. When they were building the road,
Whether it is the desert or the rainforest area, it has basically been confirmed that there is no trace of this trainee ranger.

As for Liyue, I had already gone through the previous ceremony of summoning the immortals, but I didn't see any suspicious targets.

It couldn't be that after a lot of forbidden knowledge was cleared and the symptoms of demonic scale disease were greatly reduced, Cole would have an accident, right?

Whether it was because of his promise to Tinari or his own fondness for this young ranger, Lin Feng was unusually worried.

Recalling the timing of the other party's first attack in the original work, Lin Feng looked at Wendy in front of him and asked:
".Speaking of which, Wendy, you should have been awake for a while, right?"

"Did anything happen during your Mondstadt Badminton Festival this year? Like a Fatui member being killed?"

Suddenly I thought of myself after I took control of Xumi.
Even with such extensive intelligence channels, it seems that there is no news of the riot caused by the doctor's slicing in Mondstadt as described in the original plot.
With this thought, Lin Feng had some vague guesses about the current situation.

As expected, Wendy scratched her head and said with some doubt:
"A member of the Fatui was killed? That shouldn't happen, right?"

"I don't know why, but the Fatui seem to have calmed down a lot recently, and we haven't had any conflicts with them."

"."

really!

Perhaps it was because of the chain reaction he had caused in Xumi,
In the original work, the plot in which the doctor sliced ​​and went to Mond to forcibly collect experimental subjects and his followers were killed by Diluk in the wine cellar did not happen.

In this way, Cole would not have the chance to meet the two evacuating Fatui members on the spot, and naturally he would not come into the official sight for killing them in public.

But if not in Mond, where would it be now?

Thinking of another characteristic of this trainee ranger, Lin Feng looked at Wendy in front of him and said tentatively:

"Since she can't find him based on her appearance, how about you try to help me find your scout knight?"

"Can you share her current location with me? I will try to find her and ask about the situation later."

"Ah? Of course I can. After all, I failed to complete your previous commission."

"Wait a moment. Let me see."

There is no need for Lin Feng to describe the characteristics in detail. At present, there is only this one scout knight in the entire Mondstadt.
With her goal quite clear, Wendy simply closed her eyes and started the second round of search.

This time it took quite a short time.
After a few blinks, if it has been viewed once before,
Wendy stated her result with a subtle expression:

".Found it, and found both of them."

"Huh? Where did you find it?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

"——In the Shimen area of ​​Liyue."

"The little girl you are looking for, and the scout knight,

I don't know why, but it seems to be taking a temporary rest in a wasteland over there by the stone gate."

"."

After getting this result, Lin Feng and Wendy were silent for a moment, and instantly understood why they couldn't find any trace of Cole before.

——No wonder there is no trace of this girl in Mondstadt. It turns out that you have lured all their scout knights to Liyue.

But then, Lin Feng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because Cole did not evaporate inexplicably, heard Wendy say:
".Don't be too hasty to be relieved. If this little girl is very important to you,
Then I suggest you go and have a look as soon as possible."

"——Although there is no big problem now, if nothing unexpected happens, the 'remaining hatred of the defeated' in her will be uncontrollable after a while."

“——The other party might have rushed to Liyue for this reason.”

Wendy, who had always been unreliable, seemed like a completely different person at this moment.
After realizing that Lin Feng and the little girl were not just strangers,
I think my friend probably wouldn't want to see a madman who was completely corrupted by the remnants of the demon.
Vaguely sensing the balance that was about to be broken, Wendy also spoke up to remind him. !!!

Could it be that the remnants of the demon are about to lose control?

After hearing what Wendy said, Lin Feng suddenly realized something.
next moment,
He never liked to procrastinate on such important matters, so he stood up from where he was standing.

He waved to Wendy and the old man, left a few words, and then disappeared from the spot with a faint elemental fluctuation.

".I roughly know what the situation is. Thanks for reminding me.
Old man, you and Wendy don't have to wait for me. I'm going to go over there and take a quick look, and then I'll be gone for a while."

"."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng disappeared.

Zhongli and Wendy, who stayed where they were, looked at each other and showed an expression that was not unexpected.

——Don’t look at this friend of mine, he seems slow on weekdays.
But when it comes to something that he cares about, he will be decisive and swift in his actions, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

South of Shimen, beside a pond in Dihuazhou.

Beside this large wetland created by the overflow of the Bishui River, countless withered reeds swayed slightly in the cold wind.
Among the scattered shadows, there seemed to be some fat wild ducks swimming leisurely.

These brown-grey waterfowl rely on the reeds that are taller than humans for cover.
Even in Teyvat where many monsters roam, life is quite peaceful and tranquil.

——But today they are obviously in trouble.

In the bushes beside the bank, two girls, one with brown hair and the other with green hair, had already tightened their bowstrings.

Like the most experienced hunters, they were concentrating and quietly aiming at their dinner through the slightest movement in the reeds.

"."

"Whoosh-"

After a moment of silence, two arrows flew away like lightning, accompanied by two soft sounds that sounded almost at the same time.

The feathers at the tail of the arrow trembled slightly in the wind, leaving only a vague trail.

Cole and Amber did not prepare much food in advance because they set out in a hurry.
With a heart full of tension and anticipation, he looked towards the point where the arrow would land.

"--Very good!"

"Eh--"

The next moment, amid the cheers of the brown-haired girl and the regrets of the green-haired girl, the hunt that concerned their dinner tonight also came to a final conclusion.

The fire in front of the tent,

Amber used a branch to pick up the plump wild duck that Cole had helped to prepare.
I am carrying out my cooking attempt with great interest.

The green-haired girl at the side recalled how she had known Amber.

After tasting those "meticulous works" from the other party, I felt like I wanted to say something but stopped myself for a moment.

Forget it, forget it. I’ve eaten a lot of fireflies with their heads removed in the past, so a burnt or undercooked wild duck shouldn’t be any worse.

He looked down at his own clothes, which were not much different from the other person's except that they were less revealing.

Cole, who had never had such an experience, couldn't help but smile slightly.

And then,
Amber, who was roasting a duck in front of the fire, seemed to feel the girl's gaze.

The smiling man turned around and looked at the new friend he met a few months ago:

"Cole! Are you used to your new clothes?"

"The marks on your body have almost faded away a while ago, but you're only now willing to remove the bandages. What a waste!"

".Isn't it really weird that I've never worn anything like this?"

Cole was clearly lacking in confidence.

"How could that be! It seems to me that after changing into your clothes, you look much more energetic!"

Recalling the first time I met her, the girl in front of me wrapped herself up tightly.
Amber gave her sincere compliments very frankly.

"."

"Okay. Thank you for the gift."

".After I learn how to sew, I will definitely give you a return gift!"

"Hehe, then I'm looking forward to it~"

The brown-haired girl smiled sincerely and put on a longing expression.

He pointed to the emerald green Eye of God hanging on the waist of the girl in front of him.
Amber said:
“Come to think of it, Cole, you should not be so hostile to gods now, right?
When we first met, you looked as if you wanted to tear down the statue in the square."

"Ah, stop talking. I admit that I was a little biased at the time!"

The green-haired girl blushed, apparently recalling her previous extreme thoughts.

"After all, I only found out later that the reason why the symptoms of my demonic scale disease were alleviated was because of the efforts of the first sage of Xumi."

"Also, I never thought that someone like me would be watched by the gods one day.
I always thought that the people that God would look upon were those who were born to be liked by everyone…"

"Well, I...I admit that I have a lot of bad prejudices. I am wrong."

Ke Lai was getting more and more embarrassed, and his voice became lower and lower. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
After a pause, she thought of the reason why the girl in front of her came out with her, and she mustered up the courage to ask:
"By the way, Amber, is it really okay for you to come to Liyue with me?"

"I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable, there's no need for you to leave your work behind and be with me."

".And even if I come, I probably won't be able to see the target of this trip."

Thinking back to the time when Liyue held the Immortal Summoning Ceremony a few days ago, the "fear" emotions conveyed by the voices in my head,
And after gazing at the sea of ​​elemental light, the "Eye of God" inexplicably appeared beside him.
Although Cole no longer has prejudices against gods, he still doesn't think he will have the chance to meet the owner of that kind of power.

"Hey, when I asked you what that black flame was before, Cole, you didn't tell me, you just told me it was a curse."

"Now that we have a clue to lift the curse, even if it is very difficult to cure it completely, I will definitely come to accompany you~"

After a brief pause, feeling the cool breeze blowing on his face, Amber spoke confidently:
"——Besides, you have already received the attention of God, so it is very possible for you to be blessed by God and become healthy again!"

"Well, I hope so. Even if it's just my current life, I'm already very satisfied—"

Before he finished speaking, Cole, who originally thought that his condition had recovered a lot,
Suddenly, I felt the noise in my head suddenly boil over like never before.

Fear, anger, madness, hatred.
It seemed that it sensed the approach of some kind of "natural enemy".

These remaining demons, who had been quite well behaved before, made their final mad struggle.

"Colai, what's wrong with you?"

His consciousness quickly left his body and he fell into the familiar darkness of Cole again.
Listening to Amber's anxious shouts beside me,
In the last moment before he fell into coma, he seemed to see a figure quietly appearing not far away in the corner of his eye.
