Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 14 The City of Sin

After the lunar sacrifice was completed, Mo Yan and the other three stayed in the castle for two days, especially Kailin. As mentioned before, she slept in her room for two days and two nights, if there was no sound from her stomach.

On the morning of the third day, everyone gathered together at breakfast time to discuss the future.

"Karen, eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Zixuan looked at Kailin who was wolfing down the food beside her and sighed silently.

Looking at Karen in front of him, Zhao Heng chose to ignore her.

"Well, while everyone's here, I think we should discuss what's next," he said seriously. "The Moon Festival was a success, and now the aphotic syndrome has been resolved. I think it's time to consider how to leave."

"Oh, do you all want to leave Xuanyue Town?" At this time, Yue Tianlang walked over from the side.

"Sirius, you're here!" Kailin greeted enthusiastically.

"I haven't seen you much these past two days. How are you? Are you feeling better?" Mo Yan asked with a smile.

Tianlang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. It's just an overuse of magic power. It's nothing serious."

"Uh, you sound like something's wrong." Kailin put down her fork and said a little scared.

Tianlang chuckled and said, "Hehe~ But just now I heard Mr. Zhao Heng say that everyone was planning to leave. Could it be that I didn't entertain you well enough?"

"No, everyone has been very enthusiastic these two days, but we can't stay here forever. After all, we don't belong to this world." Zixuan said with a smile.

At this time, Kailin nodded and said, "Yes, it has been five days since I came here. If I don't find a way to go back, my father will be worried.

Mo Yan spread his hands and said, "That being said, we don't have a specific direction."

"That's right, so this is also our biggest headache." Zixuan sighed angrily.

"I see. In that case, I can't hold you back any longer. But…" Tianlang nodded, then lowered his head in thought. "If you're just looking for directions, there's Evil Wolf Mountain northwest of Xuanyue Town. Crossing that mountain leads to the evil spirit's territory, the 'City of Sin'. Perhaps you could go there and learn more."

"The City of Sin? It doesn't sound like an auspicious place." Karen felt a chill in her spine when she said this.

"Everyone says it was originally a concentration camp for criminals. Later, as the war progressed, more and more criminals were taken there. To accommodate them, the concentration camp gradually expanded and became the crime capital it is today. It's said that anyone who sets foot there is either a vicious thug or a violent police officer. Even if there are ordinary people living there, they're forced to settle there by necessity."

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go there?" Karen asked.

Tianlang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be with you. Evil and I are friends, and I think he'll consider my face and help you. Besides, as outsiders, you're still unfamiliar with everything here, so having a guide to introduce you should save you a lot of trouble."

"In that case, why don't you send us directly over there? When we were knocked down by Ozil before, didn't you use your power to teleport us to the ground? In that case, wouldn't it be better to teleport us directly to the evil spirit?" Karen asked again.

"It's a good idea indeed, but unfortunately, because I forced myself to use my strength to perform the moon sacrifice ritual this time, my ability is now very unstable and intermittent. I'm afraid I can only use my original strength at night or on a full moon night." Tianlang smiled with apparent helplessness.

"Ah, no way, aren't you a guardian? Are you a half-baked one?" Karen asked loudly.

"You just discovered it." Tianlang spread his hands and said with a smile.

"What's so proud about this!"

"Hey~"

Tianlang's cute expression immediately silenced Kailin.

She sighed angrily and said, "Forget it. At the critical moment, you still have to rely on me. I will be responsible for the means of transportation."

"Are you talking about the iron lump when we first met?" Tianlang asked.

"That's called a motorcycle, but I have something better than this." Kailin said with a proud smile.

"You won't tell me you have a car?" Mo Yan said with disdain, and at the same time he felt a chill on his back.

Kailin smiled and said, "Hehe~ Let me keep this a secret for now."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and at this point, Mo Yan suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that we seem to have a most serious problem that has not been solved."

"Ah, what's the problem?"

"We don't seem to have the currency of this world."

After hearing this, both Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan lowered their heads and fell silent.

"What a mistake! I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't told me. Since we have been living in the castle with no worries about food and clothing these days, we have forgotten about the initial trouble." Thinking of this problem, Zi Xuan immediately got a headache.

"Indeed, although this is the inner world of 'Supreme Teyvat', our game currency should not be circulated here." Zhao Heng lowered his head and thought.

Tianlang couldn't help but complain when watching this scene.

"No way, you've been here for so long that you've forgotten even the most basic things?" He touched his head and sighed helplessly.

At this time, Zixuan stood up and took out a small bag of gold coins from her backpack and placed it in front of Tianlang.

"This is Mora Coin, the main prop we interact with in the game. I wonder if it's in circulation here."

Tianlang opened the bag and took a look.

"Mora Coin? This might have been useful before our Guardians were established, but unfortunately, with the existence of the Eight Guardians, each realm now uses a different currency. For example, in Xuanyue, cinnabar is the most common currency here."

Hearing this, Zixuan was stunned.

That's right, what she used to stabilize the aircraft frame was a bottle of star sand she found in the Sirius Castle, and she used two bottles at once.

Tianlang smiled and said, "I'll explain the currencies of other towns one by one when the time comes. As for now... well, just consider this as a thank you for helping Xuanyue Town. I'll cover all your expenses along the way!"

"Ah? But is this really okay?" Karen said in surprise.

Tianlang shook his head and smiled, saying, "It doesn't matter. I still have a lot of tributes from the people, and the black stones on Wolf Mountain are very valuable in the Black Territory."

"I see... That's strange! Could you please not be so serious? You're making us look like embezzlers!" Karen shouted again.

Zhao Heng ignored him and once again chose to ignore him, saying, "In that case, let's meet up northwest of the city after making some preparations."

"Yeah." Everyone nodded in response at the same time.

Although they claimed to be preparing, in reality, Yue Tianlang had only prepared the necessary supplies and valuables for the four of them on their journey. Mo Yan, Kailin, and the others merely checked their equipment. Since the Star-Slaying Sword could not be repaired, Mo Yan had no choice but to select a few handy swords from the castle's armory.

After everything was ready, outside the North City Gate—
