Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After explaining the whole story, Seymour jumped into the dye vat without hesitation. No, it was into the water.

Caterpillar also jumped into the water very decisively, following Seymour closely and swimming towards the ruins of Narcissus Cross.

Looking at the two people related to Narcissus Cross who jumped into the water one after another, Paimon's face showed a strange look.

"Ying, I always feel something strange..."

"Forget about Caterpillar. He's here to investigate clues. It doesn't matter whether he gets into the water or not. But Seymour...isn't he here to look for someone?"

"Is there really anyone living underwater at this depth?"

Hearing Paimon's words, Ying subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement, but she quickly suppressed the urge to nod.

The reason is simple. No one who is related to the Narcissus Cross Society is a simple person. Who knows if they have other means to retain consciousness or survive to the present through some other method.

What's more... Seymour might have come here to confirm whether the person he wanted to protect, Marian, was still alive.

Judging from his level of intelligence...he has actually already thought of what the most likely outcome is, and now he is just going through the process of convincing himself with the logical module.

Thinking of this, Ying shook her head gently and said to Paimon to comfort him:

"Don't worry so much, maybe everything will go smoothly and nothing unexpected will happen."

After saying that, Ying also jumped into the water, leaving Paimeng on the shore, who was not comforted by the so-called "comforting words" but was instead confused.

"Hey (`O′)! Why are you talking nonsense? Is it so fun to be a riddler and bully children?!"

(Chang Ming: Indeed)

......

Under Seymour's leadership, everyone soon arrived at the real deep water area.

But soon, everyone discovered a problem.

——This so-called deep water area is actually just that small and not very deep.

What’s even more exaggerated is that there is not even a trace of what should be there around here. It is a completely natural ecology.

If there really are ruins of Narcissus Cross Courtyard here, there should be some signs of artificial modification around it, right?

There is nothing wrong with that.

Thinking of this, Paimon looked at Seymour with some suspicion, and asked without any hesitation:

"Seymour...Are you sure this is really the site of Narcissus Cross?"

"Even if four hundred years had erased all traces of it, it wouldn't be so natural and pristine, right?!"

"Sure. This is indeed the site of the Narcissus Cross Courtyard. The coordinates are not much different."

"Correction. The real Narcissus Cross Courtyard should be behind this boulder. The current location is about 500 meters away from the gate of Narcissus Cross Courtyard."

Hearing this, Ying and the others all looked at the huge rock in front of them and fell into a brief thought.

But soon, a golden glow flashed on Ying's wrist, and then she said to the people around her:

"Everyone, please step back a little. I will handle this stone."

Hearing Ying's words, everyone nodded slightly, then swam back a little, leaving the stage completely to Ying.

After making sure that no one would be affected, Ying began to use the rock element, which was not abundant in the water.

"Desolate planet——!"

As the girl shouted, a medium-sized rock element appeared out of thin air above the rock, and then smashed down heavily.

bang——

With a loud bang and flying debris, the huge rock that was originally blocking the crowd was instantly shattered under the attack of the desolate star, and another "deep water area" separated by the huge rock was revealed to everyone.

Looking at the vast abyss that suddenly appeared before him, Paimon's mouth opened involuntarily, and then he said in disbelief:

"W-why on earth can there be such a big difference behind a stone?! It's just a stone!"

This feeling is just like what the ancient Liyue saying says: "There is another world behind this", which seems nothing special at first glance, but is actually terribly large.

Ying glanced at the noisy Paimon as if she was not surprised, then gently swam her legs towards the vast sea abyss.

Of course, Caterpillar and Seymour also followed after a brief silence, but one of them was thinking about why Ying could use multiple elemental powers, while Seymour was just determining the location coordinates.

But history always repeats itself surprisingly. No matter when, as long as Paimon makes a little noise, she will definitely be the one left behind by everyone.

Then when she came to her senses, she would shout out in dissatisfaction, and then follow him obediently.

And this time...it's the same.

......

Looking at the extremely wide sea cave in front of him, a look of shock appeared on Ying's face.

She suddenly remembered what Chang Ming had said before - the current Fontaine was built on the basis of rising sea levels.

And the place where I am now...maybe it is a part of Fontaine hundreds of years ago.

Of course, if it were just these things or information... they wouldn't be enough to shock Ying.

What really shocked her was the aqua-blue curtain in the distance that spanned the entire sea cave.

This was something she had never seen before.

"The ruins of Narcissus Cross... maybe Seymour would know..."

Thinking of this, Ying looked at Seymour beside her and asked softly:

"Seymour, what is that thing in front of us...?"

"Searching, please wait..."

"Search completed. This aqua-blue curtain in front of us is an invention that can be used to isolate water. The specific creator is unknown."

"Anyone can pass through the water-colored curtain very easily, but only water will be blocked out."

Hearing this, Paimon was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly.

"So... there's actually something like land behind this thing? And it's completely dry?"

"Certainly. That's right."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and take a look!"

After saying that, Paimon walked forward towards the water-colored curtain, but... a slightly awkward voice came from behind them.

"Wait, wait a minute! Are you the heroes who are here to help us defeat the dragon?"
