People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 584 Lin Feng: Nasita, you want to meet guests from beyond the world? Do you want me to help you catch one…

Below Inazuma Castle, on Hanami-zaka.

Night came,

A cool night breeze blows by, accompanied by the ever-present fragrance of cherry blossoms, and the streets and alleys are brightly lit.

Around the huge cherry blossom tree in the center of the settlement, which had been planted at some unknown time, all kinds of colorful flags and lanterns radiated outwards from the treetops like an artificial galaxy.

On the streets, in front of shops, and even along quiet riverbanks.
Under the warm yellow light reflected by the numerous paper lanterns, everything that is usually taken for granted is imbued with a festive atmosphere among the many vendors and tourists.

In the middle of Hanamizaka, there is Kinan Restaurant on the side of the street.

In the corner, in front of a low wooden round table that seemed to have been forgotten.

After nearly five hundred years, the two blond travelers from a foreign land sat at opposite ends of the same table once again.

"."

"You're still not planning to see your blood relative? Even though she's looking for you?"

"The Abyss Order has launched quite a few extreme actions. As the Order's 'Prince,' I don't recall you being so hesitant on other matters."

Dai poured a cup of sake into the white porcelain cup in front of him, and looked at his old friend sitting opposite him, speaking to him with the same bluntness as always.

"."

"Ying's journey doesn't need me; she has enough companions who care about her."

"You should know that I still have things I need to do."

"Just like your search for Viserfnir, burdened with so many expectations, it's impossible for me."

As if detached from the atmosphere of the festival, the two people here showed no signs of relaxation.

At that time, as the savior of Canria, he ultimately failed to save anything. Even though the original plan could not continue, Sora could not convince himself to stand aside.

"Ha, but what do you think yourself?"

"If you don't want anything about you to affect your sister, then why do you always appear near her?"

"."

"Blood relatives will always be special to you, and that is the only thing that hasn't changed from five hundred years ago."

"Kanria's fate has had far too many consequences. I will find those five traitors one day. As for Viserfenir, he owes me an explanation."

Gazing silently at the empty space before him, Dain saw a few familiar shadows of himself in that moment.

The destruction of Kanria was not complete; its aftereffects have not yet subsided.
Just like Kong, who clearly cares about his blood relatives but is unwilling to see them, and also like the five sinners who devoured the power of the abyss and disappeared without a trace.
"Using the strength of others is both an opportunity and a risk, but it seems that you've finally had a stroke of good luck."

"From a shadowy rat to a pawn of those who disrupt the order, aside from having another superior above you, the 'prince,' this is probably a good thing."

His view of that being gradually changed. After Inazuma's invasion of the Abyss, Dain realized that the other party's purpose did not seem to be destruction.

Although it's impossible to predict whether the other side will bring back dragons to overturn the laws of nature in the future.

But judging from the treatment his old friend received, his new boss was undoubtedly much more lenient in his methods than the one in heaven.

"The title of prince has no real meaning, and as for the so-called risks, that's not something we need to consider."

"The original Kanriyans are few in number, but those who can retain a clear will under the curse have a purpose they will strive to achieve, even at the cost of everything."

"You are like this, and so are those who follow me."

It's true that they are special, but apart from that, every Kanriar who has survived the curse has a kind of obsession that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The corruption of the abyss is not something everyone can easily accept; death can even be considered a release for members of the order.

Even when there was no clear hope, the members of the order were not afraid of death.
Now that things have come to this, even if that person really intends to use them as pawns to overthrow the natural order, as Dain said, it would simply be a return to the original trajectory for the cult.

"."

"The remaining Kanriyans do not know how many of the former palace guards are left."

He fell silent for a moment, fully aware that after five hundred years, only a handful of powerful individuals would remain.

Thinking of his initial purpose in coming here, Dain looked up at the empty space in front of him and asked:
"How's the search going? Has the information I provided last time been of any use?"

"When I first arrived in the kingdom, I sensed signs of memory erasure from the guards who stopped me. At the time, I thought you were the one who used this Kanria arcane magic."

"But judging from the current situation, Surtroch's disciples should have arrived some time ago, but they have been hiding in the drifting abyss rifts to avoid being discovered."

"I've met her a few times. She possesses a very high level of abyssal power and is exceptionally skilled in using it. Unfortunately, apart from finding out that Surtroch was in Teyvat a few times, I haven't been able to find her since."

It's impossible to chase them out of Teyvat for the time being. Traveling to other worlds requires not only a method, but also dealing with a bunch of troublesome guys.

But having a clue is better than having no clue at all.
Moreover, judging from his disciple's strength, Surtroch should be far stronger than before.
"There haven't been any major results yet; finding someone who's completely hiding isn't easy."

Kong shook his head, giving a negative answer.

"—As you said, she is very sensitive to the power of the abyss, which is probably why she came to Inazuma. After all, no one can ignore an abyss invasion of such magnitude."

"But perhaps precisely because of this, she is now extremely vigilant,"

After all, you should know how special that being is. Although He rarely uses His abyssal power, it's different from common abyssal power; it's undoubtedly "transcendent."

Anyone would instinctively be on guard when faced with such a being, just like when he was first captured, he even thought that the cult's plan would be terminated prematurely.

The opponent's strength at that time may have been less than one-tenth of what it is now, but that heartfelt, insane warning was enough to make anyone who met him give up on being his enemy.

Now, he could no longer sense just how strong the other party was. He only knew that the environment inside the world was restricting the other party, or that the other party was actively restricting its own power to prevent the already crumbling world from collapsing completely.
"."

"Then let's wait a little while, she will show herself."

“I can tell that she’s the type who will pursue power at all costs. Faced with a stronger opponent than herself, such a person would not be willing to do nothing.”

After a brief silence, Dain turned to look outside. He never denied that the other person's power and growth rate were almost unmatched.

If Surtroch's disciple, "Skirk," had been paying attention to him before,
Faced with such a rapid "leap" in power level, no power seeker could remain uncurious.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?"

Inazuma Castle, in the town.

They were taking a walk when Lin Feng suddenly stopped beside them.

Slightly puzzled, Nasita turned her head to look, wondering what strange things her sage was thinking about again.

"No, it's nothing. It's just that Inazuma has been quite lively lately."

He paused briefly, then gently ruffled the hair of the little guy beside him.

Along the street, illuminated as bright as day by lanterns, Lin Feng didn't intend to talk much about anything beyond sightseeing.

"."

"Strange, did we 'see' something special again?"

"Hmm, the power of wind element is indeed not something everyone can handle. If I can't turn off the mind-reading ability, it will definitely be a headache."

After a moment's thought, he quickly realized what had happened to the sage.

This wasn't the first time they'd encountered this situation. Nasita knew very well that her sage, because of his wide range of perception, would often receive messages brought back by the "wind" without warning.

"Heh, it can be quite a headache sometimes. I've tried my best not to spy on others like that guy did."

"However, if anyone mentions anything related to me, that information will still reach me."

They possess a great deal of elemental authority, just as Rota can investigate stones and Nasita can read plants. They can access information recorded on not only the wind element, but also other elements.

However, just as Nasita would turn off mind reading unless necessary, in the absence of active investigation, he himself only maintained a passive state of randomly obtaining information, and this information generally did not take up too much attention.

There is only one exception: when someone mentions themselves, this type of information is generally considered to be highlighted.
"So, is something special going to happen this time?"

"You just said Inazuma is very lively, and that new guests are coming?"

I was also very curious about what kind of information my sage had received, since generally speaking, many people mention him, and ordinary information would not produce such an obvious reaction.

Blinking, Nasida handed over one of the two candied apples she had just bought, patted the empty seat next to her, and gestured for Lin Feng to sit with her for a while.

"Ok."

"Although this doesn't have much to do with the festival, if you really want to know..."

I noticed a long time ago that the little guy really enjoys listening to me talk about things, as if he's treating the information I've gathered as a story.

Having already been gone for a while, Lin Feng looked around and decided that sitting here with her for a bit wouldn't be a problem.

"Well, how should I put it, Nasita, you know there are many worlds beyond Teyvat, right?"

"In the starry sky beyond this celestial canopy, numerous worlds are scattered throughout."
From what I understand, at that point in time in Kanria, even on Teyvat, it was common to see inhabitants of other worlds.

Sitting next to the little one, I accepted the apple candy that Nasita offered.

Without even looking at it, Lin Feng took a bite of the sugar shell. He didn't particularly like this kind of strange way of eating large candied hawthorns.

To begin the conversation in a way that Nasita would like, Lin Feng continued to explain:

"There are huge differences between worlds, whether in terms of environmental characteristics, technological level, or the military strength of the inhabitants."

"Some worlds, like Teyvat, have beings that are almost like gods; some worlds have advanced technology and lifestyles that are completely different from those of the people here; and some worlds are weak in almost every aspect."

"Hmm, so this time the guests are from outside the world?"

Nasida quickly realized what Lin Feng was talking about, and considering how rare visitors from outside the world were these days, she finally understood why her sage had paused for a moment.

"I guess so, but she probably didn't just arrive now, she's just come to Inazuma now."

Lin Feng nodded, confirming Nasita's guess:

"This guest has a very special identity. Not only does she come from another world, but she also has a deep connection with 'Kanria' and 'The Abyss'."

"Although she cannot be called a Descendant now, based on her master's identity and the power attributes she possesses, her potential should be considered top-notch."

So far, there's been no intention to escape Teyvat, although there are plans to throw oneself out of the rules set by the Heavenly Principles.

However, even setting everything else aside, judging from the fact that Daines Reeb described the Abyss power on her body as "of extremely high quality," Skykirk's Abyss adaptability is undoubtedly quite terrifying.

"Top potential."

"It's rare to see you give such a review. Hmm, it makes me curious about what kind of customer you are."

"Hmm? You really want to meet this guest from another world?"

"It's not too difficult. Although she's most likely hiding in some deep abyss rift right now, if you're really curious about her, I can find her for you right now."

？ ！！

"No need! I was just saying it casually, there's no need to arrest him like this!"

"Since that's your attitude, this person probably doesn't have any ill intentions towards Teyvat. We can meet again when we have the chance!"

Completely baffled, I almost jumped up from the spot.
Nasita had no idea what was wrong with her sage's thought process, why he suddenly had the idea of ​​grabbing someone and bringing them to her.

"."

"Alright then, since you put it that way, let's wait for her to come see us herself later. It shouldn't take too long in the evening."

"Huh? How come there's an extra Wendy and an old man??"

As he was speaking, he paused, and suddenly saw several very familiar figures ahead.

A green cape and hat, white tights, and a young man with black hair walking beside him.
This pair is undoubtedly Wendy and the old man, and it makes perfect sense for them to travel together.

But it makes sense. Looking at Wendy and Zhongli approaching from two different directions, and the green leaf on the head of one of the "Zhongli" figures...
Upon discovering the new look, Lin Feng's lips twitched, and he fell silent for a moment.
