Chapter 779 Emerald Light
So here's the question: if the person caught at the crime scene wasn't the culprit, then who was the culprit?
In the story, Yaedo's editor-in-chief asks Wendy if she has heard any 'strange noises'?
The question itself is a bit strange, because Wendy said that she fell asleep and was arrested after waking up.
In this state of deep sleep, theoretically one should not be able to hear any sounds.
The editor-in-chief didn't know he was the God of Wind. He only asked this question because he was too anxious and had lost his basic logical reasoning ability.
But coincidentally, since he asked about the Wind God, what sound could escape Wendy's ears? He did hear quite a few footsteps, but there were no 'strange sounds'.
Wendy meant that the footsteps he heard were all normal, and he didn't hear any sounds like 'picking locks' or 'rummaging through drawers'.
The editor-in-chief was disappointed; in his view, the trail had gone cold. But the famous detective Abelardo had a new analysis:
["First, the thief who took the books wasn't acting on a whim; they were targeting the books from the start. Second, the thief was very familiar with the warehouse and even possessed a key. Third..."]
Third: The referee's judgment must be absolutely fair and excellent!
Fourth I forgot, fifth...
Abedo's analysis is easy to understand. A thief acting on impulse would first check what's in the warehouse, which would result in sounds of 'picking locks' and 'rummaging through boxes,' so it's definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Moreover, I didn't even hear any footsteps wandering around, so the prisoner must be very familiar with this warehouse.
As for the third point, which Abeldo didn't mention, the traveler added it for him:
"There's more than one prisoner, isn't there?"
The readers were astonished, not by Professor Aberdo's reasoning ability, but by the fact that the traveler was so clever.
She can actually keep up with Professor Abedo's logic? Is this Heizo pretending to be a traveler? Considering her height, it's quite possible.
I don't know who you are, but don't get off the traveler! At least until the case is solved!
Abedo began by praising, "As expected of Ying."
[Then he added: "The book is so heavy, one person couldn't have moved it in a short time; it must have been a joint crime."]
It seems that Professor Abel had anticipated Ying's intelligence. Come to think of it, Ying is indeed quite intelligent, but like Kage, she prefers to use her muscles.
Ying and Ying are indeed people whose names sound the same; they are both women who prefer action to thinking.
They possess super intelligence, but their super intelligence often tells them to use super muscles.
Ying is relatively good; she usually communicates with everyone and is quite thoughtful. She discovered the blind spot in the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival on her own.
She's just a little slow to react to some 'conspiracies'.
Ying is different. She simply doesn't understand because she doesn't communicate with others enough. If you talk to her about 'technology', you'll see her intelligence.
In the story, Kujo Sara also acknowledged Hotaru's wisdom, saying:
"Yes, I agree with your deductions."
These inferences only cleared Wendy of suspicion of theft; the smuggling allegations are still pending.
What about Wendy's invitation? He said he had kept it safe, but he couldn't remember where he had put it.
Wendy has nowhere on her body to hide anything, so where could she put it? Besides stuffing it in her crotch, the only other place would be inside her hat, right?
It shouldn't be in his shoes; given the size of his shoes, an invitation would get wrinkled if placed inside.
Although reason has already told everyone where the invitation is, some readers who like Wendy still can't help but say:
I suggest having Wendy undress completely to check; there shouldn't be anything inside her stockings, so she doesn't need to take them off.
Well, that's obviously impossible; the traveler in the story explicitly states that the invitation is inside the hat, which Wendy is wearing.
This greatly disappointed everyone, and they suddenly realized that it wasn't so bad for travelers to stay a little longer.
Now that Wendy's matter is resolved, it's time to address the issues with the Traveler and Abedo, who have come to the editor-in-chief to request information on the 'Five Song Immortals'.
Lin Qiu also posted the contents of the document, which was quite long. In short, it introduced the legend of the Five Song Immortals and their respective names.
They are: Tongbi, Yingyan, Duanpo, Zhejing, and Zhuiming.
No, actually they are: "Emerald Light", "Old Man of Sunflower", "Red Man", "Ink Dye", and "Black Master".
Their real names are unknown, but it is known that "Red Man" got his name because he liked to stamp his works with red seals.
This is only possible because it's in Teyvat; otherwise, everyone would be saying, "Is this red man Aisin Gioro Hongli?"
The other characters also have their own unique characteristics. For example, Cui Guang loves to drink alcohol, Kui Zhi Weng is good at chess and can also write novels, Chi Ren is good at swords, Mo Ran is a shrine maiden, and only Kuro Su is the most mysterious.
Just by looking at these simple pieces of information, readers already have an impression.
Isn't that Wendy, Xingqiu, Manyo, and Shenzi? Perfect match.
The only problem is the Black Master; there's too little information, so I don't know whose image to use to represent my imagination.
Readers thought of the Divine Child but not Ayaka because Mo Ran is a shrine maiden, and Ayaka hasn't appeared in this story yet.
However, that wasn't the main point of interest for the audience. They found the Old Man of Aoi quite interesting because there were rumors that he looked like an old man, but his true form was actually a long-lived fox spirit.
Speaking of long-lived fox spirits who resemble old men and are also skilled in poetry and novels, one person comes to mind—You Le Zhai.
However, whether it is him or not, no one knows for sure; perhaps only Raiden truly knows.
The editor-in-chief in the story stated that this was all the information available about the Five Song Immortals, and no further information could be found.
Because of the disaster five hundred years ago, much of the information and knowledge about it has been lost, and there's nothing we can do about it.
But guess why the general, who is the person involved, is still alive but doesn't know any more information?
It seems quite clear now that the general who presented the poem to the Five Immortals was indeed not from a bad movie.
After listening to the editor-in-chief's story about the Five Song Immortals, Wendy in the book seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a piece of paper from her pocket.
He said that someone placed it next to him while he was asleep, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but now he realizes that the contents of the paper are unusual.
That was a poem, titled "The Emerald Light".
My thatched hut is far removed from the mundane world, yet my worldly name still stirs up its clamor.
(I want to escape, I want to live a secluded life, but alas, I am too talented, I cannot live a life of seclusion, alas.)
Clad in emerald robes and colorful scrolls, they ascend to heaven to guard the heavens; sunflower manuscripts and verdant poems remain on the pages of their legacy.
(After dressing up and going to present the poem, I arrived at the castle tower and realized: Holy crap, why are there fewer poems than I brought?)
Mud-headed, I only wish to appease the emperor's wrath; hammering my skull, I frantically recall my words.
(General, please don't be angry! I've kowtowed to you; you stupid idiot, think quickly! Where did you put your head!?)
Last night I was drunk at the tavern, and as I slept, my shadow lingered beside me.
(I drank too much yesterday, and after I fell asleep, I felt someone doing something next to me.)
It must have been a villain who stole the poem; I am utterly disgraced in the imperial court.
(He must have stolen it! He made me lose face in front of the General!)
Chapter 780 'Wendy' Kneels and Gets Drunk
This is a poem, roughly about how Cui Guang got drunk and fell asleep, causing the poem that was supposed to be given to the general to be stolen, which made Cui Guang lose face.
This is quite similar to Wendy's experience; both of them lost things while drunk, except that what was stolen from Wendy wasn't her poetry.
The reader is unaware that this point also makes sense, because what Cui Ren lost was not his poem.
At this point, the reader's feeling is: This poem is indeed quite interesting; even a casual, impromptu poem can be written so interestingly. Now everyone knows why the general likes it.
I love the story of Zhongli and Leidian, which is enjoyed by both the refined and the common people.
But here's the question: who left the note? Does a thief really have the leisure to leave a note after stealing something?
If it was written by a witness, it would be fine if he didn't stop it, but why leave the note for Wendy? Wouldn't it have been better to go directly to the Skylord?
Lei Dianzhen and Zhong Li naturally saw through everything, but they remained silent, sitting upright with their brows lowered, as if they were about to pass away.
Although the novel spoils the future, they don't like novels that spoil the future.
You can spoil the plot of a novel, but you can't spoil the plot of a novel.
There are many suspicious points about this matter. Wendy said: Since things have come to this, let's go to the festival site and see if there is any alcohol to drink.
Paimon strongly opposed this, saying, "There are so many things to deal with, and you're thinking about going drinking? Didn't you just wake up?"
Besides, what's the point of checking for alcohol? I can't drink!
Abedo is different from you; he has important things to do and can't go drinking with you. You should go find Zhongli instead; you're both free anyway.
Zhongli was indeed quite free; he was currently listening to Tian Tiezui tell stories.
Wendy didn't really like drinking with Zhongli here, not because she was afraid of being watched, but mainly because the alcohol here was watered down!
Paimon said, "Abedo has to create, he doesn't have time to waste on a good-for-nothing like you!"
Abedo retorted, "No, it's alright. Let's go get a drink together, it's on me."
Paimon was dumbfounded. I spoke up for you, how could you betray me?
Readers, however, thought it made perfect sense; Aberdo was also from Mondstadt, so how could he refuse alcohol?
However, Aberdo agreed to drink not because he wanted to, but to find inspiration for his painting.
He already had a creative idea for the character Cui Guang, but now he lacked a little inspiration, which was what Cui Guang looked like when he was drunk.
Cui Guang is a man who loves to drink; only by clearly depicting his drunken state can the person in the painting 'come alive'.
Clearly, Aberdo was using Wendy as a character reference; he wanted to see what Wendy was like when she drank, and what she was like when she was drunk.
"To include a model in a painting, you need to pay them accordingly," Abedo said.
In reality, Wendy was quite satisfied with this statement. She was right; she should be paid for including her in her work.
So it's perfectly reasonable for me to drink Lin Qiu's wine. I'm not Mona, I don't work for free.
Turning the pages of the book, the travelers and others arrive at the festival grounds. During this process, an illustration is inserted, in which 'Wendy' is kneeling on one knee, holding a book in her hands.
This is the scene where Cui Guang presents a poem to the general. Interestingly, the illustration was drawn by Abedo both in and out of the story.
Aberdo's feelings are quite complicated; it's really convoluted to paint himself and the scenes from his story in reality.
All I can say is that Abedo is truly a legendary artist, both inside and out.
To express his gratitude, Lin Qiu said he would write about his future.
Abedo was quite looking forward to it, little did he know that Lin Qiu would write it even if he didn't help.
The Teyvats didn't think that much; they understood immediately: the Wind God was kneeling before the Thunder God!
Well, there's no need for such a misunderstanding. After all, Abedo has already made it clear that he used Wendy as a model, and the person in the painting is actually 'Cuiguang'.
What caught everyone's attention wasn't Wendy in the painting, but General Thunder, whose profile was depicted in the painting, but this profile was quite round.
His round profile looks a bit chubby, with a small, fleshy face and "bean-shaped eyes," making him look adorable and endearing.
His silly appearance made everyone hesitate. He looks so silly... Could he really be Shadow Baby?
Kujo Sara's breathing became heavier, and her fingers trembled slightly as she poked the general's cheek.
"Disrespectful to the gods!" Kujo Sara retracted her finger and clicked her tongue.
Actually, the reason she clicked her tongue wasn't because of that sentence, but because she felt no sensation and was disappointed.
Not only did Kujo Sara enjoy watching it, but Barbara did too.
Because in the later scene depicting Wendy drunk and barefoot on the table, the painting is incredibly lifelike thanks to Abedo's superb painting skills.
