Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Just when Zhongli and others were chatting, Navia and Clorinde happened to arrive. In order not to disturb their conversation, they just stood aside to look at the scenery.

Zhongli noticed the two people next to him and said, "Traveler, Miss Funina, the two over there seem to recognize you."

Paimon looked carefully and saw that it was Clorinde and Navia. He then waved at them, signaling them to come over.

[Hu Tao: Oh my goodness, these legs are almost reaching my waist]

[Navia: It’s natural that the water of Fontaine nourishes people...]

[Funina: From this angle, the Traveler seems to be even taller than me]

[Yae Shenzi: Isn't this normal? I estimate 153 cm]

[Ying: Yagami Mushi! Does my height bother you? ]

[Alice: The cutest height difference]

[Kumi: Not only are the legs long, but also the huge evil! ]

【Xiangling: Reason tells me that I shouldn’t speak at this time】

[Paimon: You guys are so boring. Is height really that important? Wouldn't it be better to be happier like Klee? ]

[Keli: Mom said that we will grow taller one day]

[Wendy: I ​​lowered the height of the wind element by myself. Am I proud of that? ]

[Candice: Phew, sorry, I can’t help this]

[Qin: Lord Barbatos, please be normal.]

[Paimon: Why haven't I seen Keqing recently? 】

[Ganyu: Keqing asked for leave a few days ago, and I don’t know what she is doing? ]

[Klee: Sister Keqing is playing with that...chicken? ]

[Keqing: Ahem, I’m just doing some research to see if it can be mass-produced. This will also make communication more convenient.]

[Alice: How can we possibly accomplish this without even mastering the core technology? Judging from common sense, it will take at least several hundred years. Teyvat's science and technology still needs to be developed.]

...

"Seeing how lively you guys are chatting, we were wondering if we could join in."

"excuse me."

Walnut: "Oh, this sister is so polite. No need to be polite. Since you are an acquaintance of the traveler and Miss Funina, we must get along well!"

Seeing Hu Tao's straightforward tone, Navia also liked it very much. They were both the kind of people who didn't beat around the bush.

With the travelers at the center, several people who met for the first time briefly introduced themselves to each other.

After hearing about Clorinde's profession, Walnut's eyes lit up, but after Furninna and Navia's explanation, the hall master seemed to give up some unnecessary thoughts.

Time flies, the sunset is beautiful, but it is almost dusk.

Navia reminded: "If you want to take the boat back before dark, you have to leave now."

Clorinde nodded, and then asked Funina what time she would be returning. Did she need a ride back?

Funina was a little embarrassed: "Well, well... Is this too much trouble... After all, you are no longer my subordinate..."

Clorinde: "It's normal to want to go home together when you meet friends when you go out."

Navia agreed: "There are a lot of mountain roads here. It will be more difficult to recognize them after it gets dark, right?"

Hu Tao quietly walked behind Funina, put her mouth close to her ear, and whispered eerily: "Yes, just like what is said in the strange novels... There are eight roads in the wild mountains and forests, and no one lives in the dilapidated houses on the roadside... Look at the red candles lit at the door, they flicker even without wind..."

Funina seemed to hear a gust of cold wind whistling behind her, and she immediately shouted, "Wow, ahh ...

[Ying: This is very Furninna, she is really timid]

[Funina: I didn’t say I was very brave! ]

[Paimon: I still remember the last time we went to see Furninna, we knocked on the door for a long time but she didn't respond. Then we found her house key and walked straight into her room.]

[Claulinde: ??? How did you know the key to Miss Funina's room? ]

[Ying: She said it herself! ]

[Paimon: I still have a photo of Furninna sleeping, hehe]

[Hu Tao: Funina and I have a great affinity. Apart from our different professions and nationalities, everything else is the same! ]

[Funina: We are different, different! Everyone has different circumstances]

【Wendy: We are here, waiting for you? 】

[Alice: …]

[Ying: In fact, in the final analysis, there is nothing to be afraid of about ghosts. If I encounter a female ghost, I will not run away. It is a gift from nature! ]

[Paimon: You are really hungry]

...

"By the way, from what you just said, Clorinde used to be Furninna's subordinate? Could it be that... Furninna was also a big leader in the past?" Walnut's pupils were full of curiosity.

Fu Nina was stunned and said hesitantly: "Ah...ah...that...it's all in the past...Being a leader is very tiring and not suitable for me."

"I still prefer the way I am now, being able to come and go freely and breathe the fresh air called freedom."

Zhongli nodded silently. Qiaoying Manor was indeed a suitable place for leisure, but in terms of freedom, I'm afraid...

Paimon looked at Clorinde and Navia, who were empty-handed, and asked curiously, "By the way...you both said you were here to travel, but why are you empty-handed? Aren't you going to bring some local specialties back?"

Navia bought a lot of things, including kites, paper umbrellas, jumping tin frogs, and small-sized Niemon puppets...

Clorinde didn't buy much, except tea and some tea-flavored hard candies for Sigwen.

Ying: "What about you, Funina?"

Funina was startled, then said, "I must buy tea... I must try everything recommended by Steambird. Also, this and that, all kinds of things... they should all be useful! Should... right?"

[Ying: I’m going crazy. With Liuyun Zhenjun in front and Funina and Navilette in the back, this year’s sales champion is a definite win! ]

[Wendy: If you want to feel freedom, you have to come to Mondstadt! The gifts from angels are very free]

[Diona: There are drunkards in here! Sooner or later I will completely destroy Mond Winery]

[Keqing: Miss Funina, don't you have a budget for shopping? ]

[Paimon: As the holder of the Water Element God's Eye, do you think you will be short of money? ]

[Lisa: I remember that when I was playing the role of the Water God, Miss Funina didn't have the Eye of God, but now it appears again]

[Kaeya: Pass it on. Paimon gave Funina a God's Eye.]

[Paimon: Look carefully, are there any differences between Funina's Eye of God and Fontaine's Eye of God? ]

[Sigwen: Miss Furninna's Eye of God has something similar to a dragon's fang]

[Ningguang: It should be the Eye of God that Mr. Navilette, the Water Elemental Dragon King, gave to Miss Funina.]

[Funina: At least I can use elemental power now, so I can protect myself without any problem.]

[Xiaogong: This Eye of God should also be considered a locator, so Mr. Villette can sense Miss Funina’s specific location at any time.]

[Navilet:….]

...

Paimon still had one thing he didn't understand: where did all the things he bought go? Could it be that he used Lini's magic pocket?

"They were all taken back by Mr. Villette," explained Clorinde.

Navia: "Mr. Villette saw that it was inconvenient for us to carry so many bags, so he offered to help us take them back to Fontaine. I was a little embarrassed at first... We bought a lot of things..."

Not only that, Villette also said that after the work was completed, he could help deliver the gift to Melo Petersburg.

Walnut couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect this gentleman to be so nice, not as rigid as he looks. Oh, it would be great if we had someone in our hall who is so responsible, thoughtful and proactive. Don't you agree, Keqing?"

Zhongli nodded without blushing or feeling evil.

...

Fontaine

Entrance to Merlo Petersburg

That Villette stood there alone in silence.

"It's you. Long time no see. There are few people here, it's very quiet. I finished the work at hand early, so I came to take a walk."

Paimeng was stunned. It was already dark, and this was considered ending early? If it ended late, wouldn't he have to work all night with Gan and Ke?

Navilette explained seriously: "To give a strict answer, it depends on your specific daily schedule. I have a lot of time, so it doesn't make much difference if I go earlier or later."

Paimeng didn't believe it at all and questioned Villette, asking why he only spent half a day at Qiaoying Manor if he had so much time?

That Villette crossed his arms and corrected him, "First of all, when I said a lot of time, I was looking at it from the perspective of the overall length of life. Secondly... did you know that I went to Qiaoying Manor?"

Ying picked out the key points and told Navilette what she had seen today...

Ying took the opportunity to ask about the whereabouts of the gifts, and Villette said that he had already given them to Leosli.

The following are Navilette's memories.

"I have to say, our duel agent is really amazing. You took all the trouble to come here just to deliver a package." Leosli was a little surprised.

That Villette: "I just happened to come here, please don't take it too seriously."

Leosley: "That's good. Miss Clorinde specially purchased tea and sugar, and Melo Petersburg has confirmed receipt."

Villette asked uncertainly: "Is this considered verbal certification? It's just a small matter, but the room seems so formal..."

Leosley said hesitantly, "But this pile of tea... is Clorinde's gift this big? I'm a little hesitant to accept it."

Then Villette realized that Leosley had mistakenly thought that all of these were bought by Clorinde, so he explained, "Sorry, I bought some extra."

"Huh? Why?"

That Villette said seriously, "Because ten boxes are half price."

[Funina: Why do I find it so funny when this word comes out of Violet's mouth?]

[Paimon: Maybe it’s because Villette is used to speaking in a serious manner.]

[Alice: It is not easy for the Dragon King to understand human emotions. Human personalities are changeable. I need to learn more about this. Of course, if Mr. Villette allows me to do experiments in Fontaine, I can teach you quickly.]

[That Villette: That's not necessary. With Fontaine's current condition, we can't stand Ms. Alice's trouble.]

[Yae Shenzi: Devil, Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Xumi have all been harmed by this female devil, and now she has extended her claws into Fontainebleau]

[Alice: What are you thinking about? I just want to borrow Fontaine's laboratory. I don't have time to build another one. If you don't use the ready-made one, you'd be a fool.]

[That Villette: Well... as long as it doesn't harm Fontaine, I can agree.]

[Paimon: Wasn't the Fontaine Scientific Research Institute blown up into the sky? ]

[Alice: I checked it out, some things can still be used after some repairs]

...

"Also, there's something else for you."

Leosli took a closer look and found that it was a stone slab with patterns engraved on it?

Navilette: "That's not wrong, but it's a code."

Leosley said I didn't understand, but I acted like I understood.

"Back in the days before paper and pen, people used stone tablets to record everything, including laws. Since ancient times, people have often used scales to represent the fairness and justice of judgments, and I also used this to replace words. Therefore, this handicraft imitating the original code is a tribute."

"I was out recently and saw a roadside stall where tourists could experience pottery making, so I tried it... When we were joking with Clorinde before, I did say I could give you the codex. Here."

Leosley: "Should I say he is worthy of being our supreme judge? Even the jokes he likes to make are related to the law. I am in awe. Such a profound object should occupy a central position in the exhibition room of Melo Petersburg."

Villette hadn't expected that Leosley would be so serious about it that he even specially put it in the showroom.

Leosley: "You must be kidding. I don't have a showroom. I do have a storeroom... I'll put this next to the head nurse's collection of mechanical parts."

[Paimon: Sigwen must be so happy that she can hold him in her arms while sleeping every day]

[Walnut: It smells like business! ]

[Sigwen: The slate smells like Lord Villette! Hehehe]

[Alice: This is too joyful]

[Sigwen: What is joy? I... am joy, hahahahahaha]

[Navia: Is this some kind of disease? ]

[Klee: Sigwen is so scary, so terrible]

[Paimon: That Villette likes to taste water. I guess she went to Qiaoying Manor just to taste the local water and meet Zhongli by the way.]

[Yae Kamiko: Please come to Inazuma next time. We have numbing water here.]

[Lisa: It feels so numb and tingling]

...

At the end, Villette gave Ying a soup spoon she made herself.

Ying also suggested that Violet take a vacation...

"Writing a leave note to yourself... It sounds like it's easy to fall into the vortex of self-indulgence, which is even more inconsistent with the process. But... yeah, I understand."

“I didn’t often go out for personal matters before. Work arrangements were one reason, and another reason was that I had no desire to actively participate in the human world… But now I feel that the human world does have a lot of interesting things.

[Ding! Congratulations on getting 30 original stones, 3 large experience books, and the spoon of the sea beast]

[System: Next we will play "Daughter of Water" for you]
