Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

I don't know what kind of village the other party mentioned.

But she still remembered this favor.

——After all, if I didn't have this weapon,

Then she would most likely have to choose the cheapest and easiest to replace and maintain edgeless sword as her weapon.

"Huh, that's good, that's good. I thought Paimon would have to live frugally in the future.

From five bowls of boiled fish per meal to four bowls."

".Is there really any difference?"

Ying was a little too tired to complain.

Talking while walking,

After a while, I saw a pillar leaning against the ruins ahead.

When guarding the ruins that were covered in rust and seemed to be completely unable to move,

Ying and Paimeng both lowered their voices tacitly and carefully retreated in the direction they came from.

After roughly determining that you have left the opponent's activity range,

Paimon looked at Ying beside him and reminded him:

"The body hardness of the Ruins Guard is very high.

Ying, you must change your fighting habits from when we were drifting on the island together.

——It would be better to use more elemental power and attack as I taught you before."

"it is good."

Under Paimon's gaze, Ying nodded, as if she had completely accepted the other party's suggestion.

"——Then Paimon, you should hide first. I want to activate this Ruins Guardian at the edge of the enemy's activity area.

If the situation is not right, we can just evacuate and reunite at the previously agreed location.”

"."

".Ying, don't worry, I will definitely cheer for you in my heart."

Ying's words had just fallen.

Without any hesitation at all,

Paimon nodded, being quite self-aware.

After turning back halfway through the flight and leaving this word of "encouragement",

He simply used hiding skills that even Ying herself was amazed at, and disappeared from her sight.

Where did she develop this hiding skill? Is this also her talent?

shook his head,

Forget about this partner of mine who is apparently "multi-talented" but also subtle and completely useless.

Ying tried to mobilize the surrounding rock elemental power.

Next to the relic guard, a huge golden rock formed.

"boom--"

Accompanied by a loud explosion,

The ruins guard in the distance suddenly lit up his yellow eyes.

at the same time,

Not far away, in a hollow formed by a mountain depression,

Having perfectly ensured his own safety, Paimon patted his chest with his little hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked with great satisfaction at Ying who was using elemental power to activate the ruins guard.

".Huh, luckily Ying finally remembered that she still has elemental power.

If you keep forgetting to use it like you did during the previous practice, it will be troublesome."

In addition to his work as a guide, Paimon also works part-time as an elemental force teacher.

He was deeply aware that this seemingly weak blond girl in front of him had some strange bad habits.

——No matter what kind of enemy we face,

As long as he could choose close combat, he would always subconsciously pick up the sword and chop, with no awareness of using elemental power at all.

Therefore, after seeing Ying actually choose elemental power to start with,

Paimeng even felt a rare sense of emotion.

“Okay, let me see what kind of fighting style Ying will choose under the guidance of Teacher Paimon!

It will definitely be a textbook use of elemental power."

I haven't finished speaking yet,

Paimon carefully looked out and saw a man holding up a short knife and slashing at the ruins guard.

A blonde girl who looks like a 'melee master'.

"."

"——Hey, we fought like this before we had elemental power, and we still fight like this after we have elemental power.

Then what on earth are you going to do with the elemental power, Ying?!"

Paimon, who could no longer suppress his desire to complain,

Even in hiding, he still felt that his previous teaching of elemental power was a complete failure.

".Forget it, I'll go to the place we agreed to meet before and wait for Ying."

"It's just a gift from the other party. It shouldn't be able to physically harm the ruins guards."

"boom--"

"."

I haven’t finished expressing my feelings yet.

Looking at the ruins guard in front of him who was easily cut in half and lost the ability to move in the explosion.

Ying, who was about to have a big fight, and Paimeng, who was about to evacuate, fell into deep silence for a moment.

Is this the best sword in the village? Is there something wrong?

Chapter 247: Stormy Liyue

Liyue Harbor, Feiyun Slope, and Heyu Teahouse.

At this moment, on the vermilion pavilion beside this bustling street,

Located on the third floor of the Heyu Tea House,

As always, it was packed with many wealthy businessmen from various countries.

In this teahouse facing the sea, you can enjoy the view of thousands of sails while listening to books and watching plays.

Businessmen and scholars who used to be accustomed to talking big now seem a little uneasy.

At a mahogany round table on the left side of the stage, four regulars who had arrived early and grabbed the best seats did the same.

Seeing that the storyteller, Dr. Liu Su, had finally finished telling a story about the Emperor subduing the sea monster,

The leader was a middle-aged businessman-like spectator.

He also took out the notice he had received, looked at the three companions around him, and said hesitantly:

".By the way, you should have received the notice from the General Affairs Department, right?"

"——After three days, no one is allowed to enter or leave Liyue Harbor.

If all the caravans cannot reach their destination within the time limit,

On the last day, everyone must go to the nearest resettlement site."

"It was also specifically stated that if the caravan enters the restricted area without permission, all consequences will be borne by the caravan itself."

"——This can't be like the storytelling we usually listen to.

What is going to be dug out from underground? It is something that only the Emperor can handle, right? "

"."

On the left side of the table, a Liyue local scholar wearing a blue-gray robe,

After hearing what this old friend who always takes the initiative to pay the bill said,

He shook his head and said with a heavy voice:

".The massive mobilization of the Qianyan Army, the unprecedented monster elimination efforts, and this time the ban on travel"

"——This is indeed the same as the preparations for the wars in Liyue's history.

Brother Zhang's caravan should be more careful and make sure not to violate the notice issued by the General Affairs Department."

"It is said that the arrangements this time were all directly directed by the Emperor.

My friend who works in the Qianyan Army said,

Now, even those treasure-hunting groups that usually hang out in the wild every day,

Many of them have also gone to various places to seek refuge and have settled down peacefully. "

"."

"To be able to make the old Lord Yan pay so much attention to me,

Could it be that the 'Dragon King' in the unofficial history who can shake the earth with his breath and collapse mountains with his turning over really exists?"

"——But isn't that a fictional character from a storybook?

Over the past hundreds and thousands of years, we have not heard of any deeds of the other party. At most, there are some legends in some small places. "

Another merchant sitting at the bottom thought of the rumors that had spread inexplicably recently.

He spoke with some disbelief.

"Hey, how many years have we lived? And how many years has Lord Yan lived?

How much of Liyue's history has been lost in the past thousand years alone, let alone before that?"

"——I heard that all the Qianyan troops in the wild have retreated to the vicinity of the village,

If it's true as the rumors say,

The Yan Wangye and the neighboring god will probably take action personally.

Everyone please be careful recently, don't lose your life because of greed for this wave of bargains!"

As a well-educated person with a family background,

This scholar among the four had read some of the remaining history from the Demon God War period,

The most clear thing is what the Qianyan Army has been transferred away from the front line means.

——Although the book only contains eight words: Gods fight each other, mortals should stay away.

But it seems that between ordinary words, there is a solemn and murderous meaning that is only gained after experiencing countless bloody lessons.

Those workers and farmers scattered all over the place are fine.

Upon hearing the Emperor's order, they all chose to seek refuge more decisively than the other.

But he was worried that his business friends would not understand the situation and go to places they shouldn't go because of greed.

Then next time we meet, there might be fewer people.

——After all, if this is really a battle where even the Qianyan Army has to retreat,

If it weren't for Lord Yan's obstruction,
