Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Inawa

The two who got the wooden reed flute followed Afu back to Inazuma Castle.

The two men came to Sumida and planned to report back, but after turning their luggage upside down, they still couldn't find the wooden reed flute.

The wooden reed flute…is gone!

Sumida sighed, "Have you encountered such a thing too... It's really a headache. Don't worry too much. In fact, I haven't been completely honest with you. Before you, I have entrusted others. Adventurers, professional soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, members of the Gilded Brigade from Xumi, students of the Ganzo-ryu, and a Yorozuya who specializes in handling various problems..."

"Ah, come to think of it, this combination is quite suitable for being written into a story. A group with different experiences, personalities and abilities going on adventures together...ah, no, now is not the time to discuss this!"

Paimon was stunned. Miss Sumida actually controlled the urge to go off topic. It was really like the sun rising from the west.

"In short, just like you, when they came back to report to me, they couldn't find the wooden reed flute they were supposed to get. At first, I suspected that they were just making excuses for themselves because they were incompetent, but since the top adventurer recommended by the Adventurer's Association, the legendary traveler, also encountered such a problem... Unable to complete the commission, the disappeared wooden reed flute..."

[Kaeya: Do you think it is possible that Paimon and the Traveler just took a nap and thought they got the wooden reed flute in their dream?]

[Keqing: This commission is so strange. The fog that permeates the entire island, the disappearing wooden reed flute, and the Heguan people who completely ignore me]

[Walnut: I firmly believe that they saw a ghost]

[Paimon: We wanted to find Shenzi and ask her to give Heguan a shot]

[Yae Shinko: Let me have a go? You think too highly of me. I'm not the God of Thunder. The most I can do is to summon an electric arc.]

[Ying: What you said is just like Wendy, taking off pants to fart - it's unnecessary, just tell me which god's followers are weak? ]

[Paimon: The Dragon of the East Wind, Tevarin, the Overlord of the Sky, Nashida's 76 Lannaro, the Pure Water Spirit of the Water God...]

[Funina: Those are Villette's followers! ]

[Xiangling: Doesn’t the Emperor have any followers? I remember that the Dragon King Ruotu is one of them.]

[Lord Ruotu: Oh, followers? You are insulting me! ]

[Zhongli: From a universal perspective, Ruota and I are comrades-in-arms]

[Yae Shenzi: Mirusin doesn't look like she has much fighting power]

[Sigwen: Actually... we are also very powerful]

[Shadow: I have never seen the Son of God use his full strength, so I don’t think he is too weak. After all, he is of Baichen bloodline.]

[Paimon: Later, he became Shadow’s hand warmer…]

[Hu Tao: Is there a possibility that this person named Sumida is also a ghost? ]

[Yae Shenzi: Where did this evil demon come from? Eat my thunderbolt! ]

...

The next day

Ying and Paimon were concerned about Sumida, so they decided to go see her.

Sumida was surrounded by a group of people, and the man in the lead also met Heguan.

"Let's get back to the point. I hope you all can come here to celebrate and share information about [Heguan]. I've been writing recently..."

Ying quickly interrupted Sumida's outrageous speech, jokingly saying that if she was allowed to continue, she would go off topic again.

"Because I want to investigate the mystery of Heguan, and find out why the wooden reed flute disappeared."

Roald applauded, as expected of a legendary traveler, with the judgment and willpower to stop Ms. Sumida from going off topic in time.

For some reason, Paimon suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards her.

“Wow… I’m sorry… Let’s get back to the point. Anyone who has ever accepted my commission and encountered a similar situation [where the wooden reed flute that was supposed to be found disappeared]… the only ones who could find the Manduan Coral Detective and Mr. Roald.

Everyone discussed their experiences in Heguan.

Ying told everyone about what she saw A Liu at Heguan.

The same was true for Rodel. Records said that the civilization of Heguan had been completely destroyed, but a child was seen inside. The child's name was no longer remembered.

What Detective Coral was most concerned about was not the disappearance of the wooden reed flute, but the encounter with the locals in Heguan.

There is no doubt that Tsurugakan was destroyed thousands of years ago. According to the records of "The Far Sea is Silent"... the Thunder Demon Owl that destroyed Tsurugakan was eventually destroyed by the Thunder God in Tianyun Card on Kiyose Island, and the Asase Shrine was also built to suppress the power left by the giant owl...

Although Coral has never visited Kiyose, since the power released when it died was able to form the strange phenomenon in Amenohode that has lasted to this day, coupled with the widely confirmed existence of the [ground vein anomaly]... there can only be one conclusion, and that conclusion is the fact: the so-called abnormal phenomenon is deeply related to Tsurugan!

To Ying, it was just somewhat interesting, but of no practical help.

Seeing this, Sumida had already given up on himself, thinking that he was indeed not suitable for this job.

Ying and Paimon immediately became anxious. If Sumida canceled the commission, wouldn’t all their work be in vain?

The two plan to continue investigating the whereabouts of the wooden reed flute.

...

The two came to Heguan

I saw Ah Liu standing there alone.

Ah Liu was a little excited when he saw them: "You are missing, I thought you would be like the others... There were other outsiders who came to Heguan before, but they all disappeared in the end and never came back. The uncle in green clothes, the brother who called himself a "detective"... I don't know what happened to them..."

Paimon told Alu about his conversation with Rodel.

Ah Liu's restless heart finally calmed down.

Paimon thought of the strange things that happened before and couldn't help but say, "After I parted with A Liu, I encountered a very strange thing... I don't know where the wooden reed flute we found went."

However, A Liu told Paimon that they always carried it with them and that they could feel its power. She then told him a story her grandfather had once told her.

After darkness spread across the world, Thunderbirds spread across the fog to protect Heguan.

But in the fog, the people of Heguan could not see the sun, moon, stars, or where their relatives, friends, children, and pets were.

At this moment, a thunderbird as dazzling as a purple meteor flapped its wings and flew up from the empty Sugana Mountain.

[Klee: Guan Mingshan, Tianyunka, these names are so weird]

[Nashida: That word is Suga, Toge]

[Qin: Klee, pay attention to your studies and stop fiddling with bombs all the time]

[Klee: Klee knows. How do you pronounce the word Sister Nashida? ]

[Nashida: Recite as I say, the rosy clouds are leaping, the world is washing away in red… Please read it a few more times]

[Keli: There is also this word, Keli doesn’t know it, Li Chun…]

[Nashida: Nian Yin, Li Chun Yin]

[Master:? ? ? 】

【Qin: Now I feel relieved】

[Keqing: I think it’s better to follow the Emperor than to go to Xumi]

[Hu Tao: That won’t work. As soon as Klee starts to talk about universal rationality…]

[Alice: My baby can’t be so pretentious]

[Mandrill: Disrespect the emperor! 】

[Paimon: Xiao, you can't beat her. Let's just pretend we can't see her.]

【Zhongli: ….】

[Xiao: As a Yaksha under the Emperor, I should bear the brunt of the attack! ]

[Yae Shenzi: Another blockhead]

...

Hearing the sharp sound of wings cutting through the air, the first priest picked up the thunderbird feather.

When you blow air into it, the hard feathers make a melodious sound.

So people use this practice to tell others where they are in the sea of ​​fog and guide lost people to their side.

Later, people began to use wood chips to make this sound.

So, the thunderbird feather was the original wooden reed flute!

But speaking of feathers, they also got one when they were at Akunome Pass, which should be the feather of the thunderbird.

Paimon took a quick glance and saw that the feathers were emitting purple light. It was so damn weird!

Ah Liu: "This is the best wooden reed flute. Although artificial wooden reed flutes no longer have such power, as the original wooden reed flute, it should have special power. Even if it can see the souls of the past, it should not be a problem."

Ying was skeptical, so she used her feather ability on the perch, and sure enough, Afu's figure appeared before her.

[Kaeya: Seeing the souls of the past is indeed a rare item. Traveler, can you lend it to me? ]

[Ying: Wait for me to go back. I'm still in Xumi. But that thing also has limitations. It may be a bit difficult for you to see things from the past.]

[Yaejinko: Maybe I can see Kitsai-sama]

[Doctor: Seeing souls from the past is quite interesting]

[Paimon: Doctor, you dare to come out]

[Doctor: Oh? Did I do something evil? The little girl in Xumi should thank me. If it weren't for me, she would have died long ago.]

[Paimon: Damn it, I really can't refute what he said, Ying, you go and scold him]

[Ying: I still say the same thing, wash your neck and wait! Master, the winter is coming soon, and I am no longer the same person as the Six Elements! ]

[Kaia: You, old man, are touching the statue of God again in Nata]

...

祭场

Surprisingly, this time the residents of Heguan were

According to A Liu's instructions, the two planned to go and see what they said.

...

Abe: “It’s been a long time since I last saw him…”

Zi Nai: "Who knows... If you think about it carefully, it's quite pitiful. After all, Zuo Shi left him and left the fog sea. I'm afraid..."

...

"It's very strange, isn't it? Moreover, the priests painted on it don't look like Grandpa and his friends."

"How strange."

"I have a guess. Those murals were painted before the sea of ​​fog. Long, long ago, there was no fog in the world, so everyone sees something up there! There are round and star-shaped things, and that mountain-like thing! So these are what are painted on the ancient murals!"

...

And: "I hope... no, Lady Thunderbird will be satisfied with this festival... After all, this is the only child she has favored over the years..."

Zhi Shi: "Master Priest, A Liu hasn't come yet."

"It's the last day already, so it won't hurt to let him hang out for a while."

Tomoyo: "But, Master Thunderbird has already returned to Mount Sugana...!"

"I see, then time is really running out."

"It was in Fengyue Field that I met Master Thunderbird...right?"

"Yes, when we were together, he often talked about fishing with Ibe at the beach of Husai, and collecting shells with his brother and Zuo Shi from the Kamae family at Jimei."

...

After listening to the conversations of the people present, A Liu might be at Huoshi Beach, Umina Beach and Fengyue Field.

Paimon felt like he had been cheated. A Liu said he would come to the sacrifice site, but now he had to go find A Liu again.

[Keqing: I want to ask, what are those bottles and jars in Heguan? ]

[Ying: You don’t want to know]

[Paimon: The things inside are scarier than the great devil Dudu! ]

[Alice: This is the scariest place in Heguan]

[Yae Shenzi: I hate riddlers the most. Someone bring me a bottle of water.]

...

The two passed by the beach and the seaside, but could not find Ah Lao.

However, we did get a lot of relevant information, such as sacrifice!

...

Ouyuenoye

"If I sing here, no one will notice, right? Hmm... let's go a little deeper!"

Decipher all the puzzles.

The two found that A Liu seemed to be talking to an unknown thing, and disappeared the next second.

When they returned to the sacrificial site again, everyone had disappeared.

The calm Ying decided to organize the information she had collected first.

First and foremost, I got the wooden reed flute, met a man who looked a lot like Afu, and Tsurukan's timing was weird, and everyone I met didn't seem to listen to their timeline.

The people in Heguan can't see themselves and Paimon

There was no point in thinking about it any further, so Ying and Paimon decided to return and tell Sumida what happened here.

...

Inawa

Paimon stopped Ying from running: "Wait a minute, let's check if the wooden reed flute is still there, otherwise it will be another wasted trip.

Ying and Paimon checked the contents of the bag together and found that the wooden reed flute was indeed still there.

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief; he finally didn't lose it this time.

...

"You guys are back? I hope I can get the wooden reed flute this time... Otherwise... Otherwise, I will never be able to write the novel!"

Paimon glanced at her and said with a smile, "Of course! This level of commission is a piece of cake for us! Ying, quickly hand the wooden reed flute to Miss Sumida! Complete the commission quickly, get the reward, and then go to Kinan Ryoten for a good meal together..."

"Huh? I feel like this conversation has happened before... Is it my illusion?"

Ying handed the wooden reed flute to Sumida,

Sumida carefully looked at the wooden reed flute in his hand, and couldn't believe that he could really get the wooden reed flute, but for some reason he felt a little disappointed, as if he lacked a sense of destiny.

This was a relic that spanned a thousand years, from a ruined city that no longer existed, where no one laughed or sang songs anymore, and yet it was obtained so easily...

Ying was immediately furious: "You are annoying. If you are not satisfied, go to Heguan and find it yourself."

Paimon echoed, "This isn't easy for us at all, don't make it sound like it's a matter of course!"

Sumida apologized repeatedly, and then said nice things to Ying.

Paimon: "What about me?"

"Oh my, even famous adventurers and detectives couldn't complete the commission, but he completed it so smoothly... It's really amazing! I don't want to call the novel "Journey in the Sea of ​​Mist" anymore, I'd better call it "Journey of Ying and Paimon"!"
