By the time everyone came back to the Chenxi Winery, it was already afternoon. But it wasn't too late if they could get back before dark.
"I'm so tired! So tired!" Wendy sat on a chair outside the Morning Winery and took the wine on the table.
Diluk twitched his lips when he saw this, but he didn't care. He just treated it as a party anyway.
"Speaking of that cult, what is it? I seem to hear them talking about it all the time." Yu Jin also sat down and asked the crowd.
"The Abyss Cult? The only information we know now is that they are an organization composed of Abyss mages and are hostile to humans."
“Also, there seems to be a higher form above the Abyss Mage, but I haven’t seen it.” Diluk recalled the news he had seen and said it.
"there is none left?"
“No more.” Diluk shook his head. There was very little information about the Cult of the Abyss, and this was all he knew.
"By the way, why does Wendy, as the god of wind, need the power of humans?" Paimon asked curiously as he looked at Wendy drinking.
She was surprised when Wendy revealed her identity on the road just now! In fact, she was the only one who was surprised, because everyone had guessed it in advance, only Paimon knew nothing.
"Tsk, the Seven Gods are the seven rulers of the mortal world. Divide the mortal world, and each of us rules one seventh of the continent. This is our duty."
"Only by fulfilling the duties of a god can one accumulate divine power. Do you think I am the kind of god who enjoys ruling?" Wendy calmly stated the reason for his weakness, not caring at all.
Yu Jin glanced at Wendy. It was the first time he knew that the divine power in this world was like this.
But this guy is lying. It's obvious that his strength is not weak.
Yu Jin felt the vast elemental power in Wendy's body and complained slightly. He was a lazy guy.
"【You should establish a free country where no one is king】——We will keep Lord Barbatos's philosophy in mind." Qin placed her hand on her chest and repeated the teachings of the God of Wind.
"Captain Jean is so pious. I think someone is simply too casual and doesn't want to be in charge." Paimon spread his hands and looked at Wendy with a little contempt.
Yu Jin felt that this sentence also included him. When he burned himself, in addition to repairing the scars, another very important reason was that he didn't want to be in charge of things.
When he thought about spending eternity in endless paperwork, Yu Jin felt that he should send it.
So, he chose to start running before his responsibilities caught up with him! Now it seems that this decision is really the right one.
"Ahem! That's why I'm weak!"
"How powerful is what you said." Ying also made a rare complaint.
"Okay, what do you guys think of next?" Qin saw that the small talk was almost over, so she got down to business.
"The Sky Harp is still fine, we can play it again!" Wendy raised the Sky Harp in her hand, which was still shining with light green light, and said with raised eyebrows.
“But before that, we have to clean up those Abyss Mages. Only after the source is dealt with can we cure the disease.” Diluk crossed his arms. The Abyss Mages were too rampant and had to be beaten down.
"Of course." Qin also agreed with Diluk's idea. These guys, the dragon disaster is gone, they popped up again.
"Okay then. I'll use my intelligence network to gather information and I'll let you know when the time comes." Diluk nodded, already thinking about what to do next.
Chapter 143: Dragon Lady Appears
2023-08-31
After parting at the Dawn Winery, Yujin and Ying staggered along the small path in Mondstadt.
"You said you were traveling to find your brother? And you were stopped by an unknown god when you were escaping the world?" When Yu Jin heard Ying's reason for traveling, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
According to this, Ying and her brother must be very powerful. After all, they were able to escape from this world and attract unknown gods to intercept them personally.
"But, what's wrong with your strength? I don't think you are that strong now." Yu Jin glanced at Ying. It was really amazing that he could control the elemental power without the God's Eye. It didn't seem like a skill that people in this world could possess.
"I slept for a long time and just woke up. Even Paimon was someone I just met not long ago." Ying walked on the path, not hiding the fact that she was currently weak.
"Indeed, if Ying hadn't caught me when she was fishing, I would have drowned by now." Paimon circled Ying twice and chuckled.
It’s so great to meet Ying! She has someone to play with every day, and she can eat a lot of delicious food!
Ember looked at the giggling Paimon and directly discovered the blind spot. He asked: "Pamon, can't you fly? How did you fall into the water?"
[Humph, this trick is too low-level. It can deceive Ying, but not me! ] Yu Jin thought confidently.
"Uh..." Paimon touched his cross hairpin with one hand, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Yu Jin is right. You can fly, so why did you fall into the water?
"I think it might be because I didn't eat enough at that time and fainted from hunger!" Paimeng quickly thought of a reasonable explanation.
She spread her hands, thinking that this idea must be close to the truth, although she didn't remember anything before that.
"Hahaha! It really fits Paimon's personality." Ying couldn't help but laugh when she heard Paimon's explanation. Traveling with Paimon would definitely not be boring!
"What's so funny! I can't even beat a wild boar. I'll definitely faint from hunger if I only eat sunset fruits!" Paimon stomped his feet in the air, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed for not being able to beat the wild boar.
Yu Jin looked at the angry Paimon and the laughing Ying, and shook his head slightly. What was wrong with him? There were obviously two cute little guys in front of him, but he was still so suspicious.
"So, if you go looking for your brother, aren't you destined to confront a certain god?" Yu Jin looked at Ying. Her future was destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles.
Ying stopped smiling when she heard Yu Jin's words. Her clear yellow eyes dimmed a little, but she soon perked up again, put her hands on her hips and said confidently:
"Let's fight, I will definitely find my brother! Even if it means becoming an enemy of God, I will do it!"
"Don't forget me when the time comes. I will definitely be there to cheer you on!" Paimon also waved his little fist and deliberately made a fierce look.
Unfortunately, Paimon's fierce appearance doesn't match her petite body, so it makes her look more adorable instead.
Ying's proud look with her head held high, coupled with Paimon flying around her, together paint a picture of a brave man about to leave the village to defeat the dragon.
Seeing this, Yu Jin smiled and said, "If she gets beaten badly, call me and I will definitely get her revenge for you and beat her back!"
"Huh? Are you that powerful?" Paimon stopped spinning and came to Ember, her little eyes full of doubt.
Although she had heard from everyone in the Mondstadt Adventurer's Guild about how powerful Embers was, she had never seen it before.
Besides, he was talking about beating up God. He is God, so why does his tone make it sound like it’s no big deal?
"Oh, you look down on me, don't you?" Yu Jin felt insulted. You can question his character and his intelligence, but Yu Jin is absolutely confident in his strength.
"I am also from outside the world!" Yu Jin's words shocked the two women, no, the girls for three years.
"What? You are also from outside the world?" Ying was extremely shocked. She originally thought that she and her brother were the only outsiders in this world, but she didn't expect that there would be another Yujin.
"That's true, but I've only been here for a short time, so I'm just playing around." Yu Jin nodded.
In addition to him and the Ying siblings, Yu Jin currently suspects that Alice, the great adventurer of the Adventurer's Association, is also an outsider to this world.
As for why? Of course, Alice's behavior is incompatible with this world, just like him.
"What did you and your brother do before?" Yu Jin patted Ying's shoulder and brought her back from shock.
"Well... traveling, my brother and I traveled to different worlds." Ying recalled. Everything was fine, but she didn't expect to fall in this world.
"Traveling? Do you know what I do?"
The only response to Embers was two shaking little heads.
"Fight! I fought my way through the whole world before coming here to retire." Actually, Yu Jin originally wanted to say "kill", but when he saw Paimon's innocent little eyes, he temporarily changed "kill" to "fight".
"Wow! So powerful!" Paimon believed it immediately. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Yu Jin carefully. She wanted to see what the difference was between such a powerful person and her.
"Fighting..." Ying thought about what Yu Jin said. She was not as young as she looked.
Naive, most of the time she just likes it that way.
Ying had experienced more and thought more. She was thinking about the deep meaning of what Yu Jin had just said.
"No, I don't think you're that powerful at all."
"why?"
"Shouldn't a powerful person be someone with three heads and six arms, who can smash a mountain with one punch?"
"I'll smash the mountain into pieces, and then I'll give you as compensation to Captain Qin, okay?"
……
Ying listened to the incoherent conversation between Paimeng and Yu Jin, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She really thought too much, maybe Yu Jin just wanted to show off.
She shook her head, walked forward and said, "Okay, senior, and Paimon, stop talking. It will be dark soon. It will be too late if we don't go back now."
As she spoke, she grabbed Paimon's starry sky scarf and started walking.
It was going to get dark soon, and she didn't want to sleep outdoors. Soon, at the speed of the three of them, it was getting dark.
"Oh, it looks like we have to sleep on the streets today." Ying looked at the sky. The sun had disappeared. Only a hint of red was left in the west, emitting a tiny glow.
"Really? I don't think so." Yu Jin paused, as if he had realized something.
"Oh? Do you want to take us flying again? Forget it." Paimon turned around and said expressionlessly.
Is flying while hanging on a rope really considered flying? Paimon thinks it is not.
"Okay, hurry up and collect firewood, otherwise you two will freeze to death at night." Ying saw Yu Jin and Paimon still standing there stupidly, and complained while holding the firewood.
However, neither Ember nor Paimon moved. Paimon did so because she was the mascot, while Ember looked towards the direction of the woods not far away.
A woman wearing a golden crown and a long white gauze dress walked out of the woods.
The most surprising thing is the two huge dragon horns growing on the woman's head, which makes her look like a strange beast and also like a master of ceremonies presiding over the ceremony.
"What a strange person..."
"Hello... hello."
Ying and Paimeng were a little nervous when they saw the woman walking towards them with her long skirt lifted. This woman looked like a lady from a noble family, so they had to be cautious.
"King." Lance Shanks came to Ember and knelt on one knee.
"Huh? What's the matter? I remember you weren't like this. Did Vic's incident hit you like a fool?" Lance Shanks couldn't hold back after hearing Ember's first sentence.
Originally, she saw someone next to Yu Jin and thought about being more ladylike and leaving a good impression. But now it seems unnecessary.
"It's okay. I'm just a little excited to see the king." Lance Shanks rolled his eyes. These etiquettes were really for the blind.
"You're here just in time, don't mess with this human body, turn into a dragon and take us back!" Ember lifted Lance Sanks up, pulled Ying and Paimon, who had not yet understood the change of things, and ran away.
Lance Shanks, who was far away, heard what Yu Jin said and felt that he had done something unnecessary. If he had known earlier, he would have come here directly in the form of a dragon.
After a brief silence, deafening thunder suddenly sounded in the dim woods.
In the rising red thunderstorm, a four-winged, four-legged, pure white ancient dragon descended here!
