The golden tree standing tall in the world of Teyvat - Chapter 321

c318 Fountain elf

After the Lantern Festival, Liyue Port returned to its normal state.

And Lotia was also doing well in the waters of Qingce Village, making the Mond people with the simplified version of Skynet miserable because the water was too bitter.

For this reason, Diluk also reported this to Wendy. After hearing this, Wendy went to the water source to investigate, and then he saw Lotia.

Wendy: “.”

Lotia: “.”

“Why is it you?” Wendy asked helplessly: “You are not sent by Liusu to Hohomund?”

Lotia shook her head and said: “Of course not.”

“Then why do the Liyue people have no reaction when drinking the same water, while the Mond people feel bitter and difficult to swallow when drinking it?”

Lotia looked up and said: “I don’t know.”

Wendy: “.”

Seeing that Lotia didn’t seem to be ready to change, Wendy was silent for a while and left, because only the Mond people drank bitter water, which had no effect on him.

After Ying received the task, she also took Paimeng to Mond. Everything was as planned. When they were investigating near Qingce Manor, they met Yandora after clearing some water elemental phantom creatures.

“Yandora, there is no water, I am dying”

“What is this? Paimeng, is it your kind?” Ying looked at the water blue elf floating in the air and asked Paimeng next to her in confusion.

“Hey! How can this be my kind? Don’t confuse it with a flying mascot! No, I’m not a mascot. You really pissed me off!” Paimeng said angrily.

“It’s not a big problem.” Ying waved her hand nonchalantly.

Paimeng: “.”

“Yandora, is that your name?” Paimeng was silent for a while and asked Yandora.

Yandora replied intermittently: “Bitterness, hostility, will kill Yandora!”

“Although I don’t know what to do. How can I save you?”

“Yandora, boarding water dumplings, for transportation. No water. Yandora, nowhere to live.”

“How can we take it to a place with a clear spring?” Paimon asked in confusion.

Ying took out the water he had just filled and said: “Here is a bottle of water.”

“But this bottle of water is also bitter.”

“Are you stupid? I don’t know if it tastes bitter or not?” After Ying finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at Paimon and drank a sip in front of Paimon and said: “No bitterness.”

“Yes, is that so?” Paimon scratched his head and said: “Then I’ll try.”

Paimon took the water bottle and took a small sip, and then her face turned bitter.

“Pah, pah, pah, liar, it’s so bitter, and you actually said it’s not bitter!” Paimon quickly spit out the bitter water in his mouth and complained to Ying.

“Really not, why would I lie to you?” Ying took the water bottle and took another sip. She really didn’t feel any bitterness.

Paimon: “.”

“Maybe your taste is different. I feel it is bitter.” Seeing that Ying didn’t seem to be lying to her, Paimon could only sigh and said, “Yandora, do you want to come in? We only have this bottle of water.”

“Yandora, I can endure it, but not for long.”

Paimon nodded and said, “Then there is no time to lose. Let’s go to the place with the spring. But this guy traveled so far with the water slime, and his relationship with us is very similar.”

“Very similar? Paimon means that you are a useless parasite?” Ying suddenly realized.

“No, that’s not right. Well, it’s still different. At least I am your good guide in Teyvat.”

Ying: “Tsk.”

“Speaking of which, Connor seemed to have said before that only the water in Qingquan Town is sweet, so let’s take Yandora to Qingquan Town.” Paimon ignored Ying’s disdainful expression and changed the subject.

Ying: “.”

Ying touched his chin and looked at Paimeng who had changed. He couldn’t help thinking in his heart: What should I do? Now Paimeng seems to have antibodies. It seems that I have to add some fierce stuff in the future.

The two came to Qingquan Town with Yandora in a bottle.

“Here, the water is sweet. Yandora found it. It’s the same kind.” Yandora said: “Yandora, the same kind, made the water taste good. It also became bitter. It was done by Lotia.”

“So, Qingquan Town seems to have the legend of the spring elves?” Paimeng touched his chin and analyzed: “And, Lotia, is it the Lotia we know? What does she want to do by making Mond’s water bitter?”

“Forget it, don’t think about it for now. Let’s go to the spring and replace the bitter water in the bottle.”

Ying and Paimeng came to the spring and saw an old man staring at the water in a trance.

“Who are you?” The old man turned his head and looked at the two people with some doubts and said, “From the looks of you, are you the honorary knights of the Knights of Favonius?”

“Yes, it’s us.” Paimon said with a smile.

“I see.”

When Paimon was about to say something, Yandora, who was hiding in the bottle, suddenly jumped out.

“Wow, Yandora, how did you run out by yourself!”

“I am Yandora, the spirit of pure water.” Yandora said.

“So, this old man seems to be someone who believes in the existence of the spring spirit.”

Ying: “???”

How come I didn’t know that he was someone who believed in the spring spirit, where did you get this information? Even if you know you have to act, you have to act now. After being discovered, you just don’t pretend now, right?

The old man nodded and said: “Yeah.”

“You look exactly like her. But you’re much smaller.”

“Yandora, you are still young! Yandora, you are learning.”

“However, your appearance in front of me at least proves that the acquaintance was not a daydream of mine.” The old man said.

“She’s still here. I don’t know her name. I don’t know, and I won’t answer Yan Duola.” Yan Duola said:

“Yandora, I need to contact her. Yandora, can you tell me something. What do you want to say?”

“You mean, she has always been here? Can you help me bring a message to her?” The old man looked at Yandora and asked in surprise.

Yandora: “Yes.”

“I’m very old. Me”

When the old man said this, he thought for a moment and said, “Say hello to her for me.”

Yandora came to the spring and began to communicate with the spring water elves inside. Paimon and Ying waited for a while before Yandora finished talking to the other party.

Yandora: “.”

“She said some strange things, I didn’t understand.”

“Greedy and so on. I don’t understand. I don’t even answer when I ask.”

“Well, the memory is still too small, and some things cannot be expressed.” Ying looked at Yandora and said.

“I don’t understand. Pure water elves, we, like to merge together.” Yandora continued: “She is a consciousness, lonely.”

When Paimon heard this, he spread his hands helplessly and said, “I think it’s probably because I can’t integrate with you.”

“Hey, is there nothing we can do?” Yandora asked doubtfully.

“I’ll drown in your bodies!” Paimon complained.

“You are so lonely. We, all of us, love everyone.” Yandora said this and suddenly exclaimed: “Ah!”

“What happened suddenly?” Paimon asked confused.

“Lodia’s spy near the stone gate! The little water animal is a scout.” Yandora replied.

“So it seems that you have indeed seen small animals with pure water nearby?”

“Is there any?” Ying asked doubtfully.

“Powerful water, illusions, small animals. Very dangerous. However, by merging with them, you can learn something.” Yandora replied: “Take me there. Over there. Lotia is very uneasy. Lotia The water turned bitter. Yandora learned to speak and speak clearly to Lotia.”

“I think if it was really the Lotia we knew, our past would have been for nothing.” Ying spread her hands and said.

“How could it be possible? If we knew each other, we could ask her why she made the water here bitter.” Paimon said, “And isn’t Lotia a descendant of Liusu?”

“You don’t understand. I’m not talking about free money.” Ying glanced at the innocent Paimon and said, “After all, you still don’t understand Liusu.”

Paimon: “.”

“You mean, this is all a trick Liusu set on us?” Paimeng was stunned at first, and then said with some worry: “How about we run away? We don’t want to do this task?”

“Why are you running?” Ying looked at Paimon with a puzzled face and said, “Isn’t it just for free? It’s not life-threatening, so what are you afraid of?”

Paimon: “.”

Therefore, Ying takes Yandora to help find the pure water-transformed creatures on the road. After defeating them, Yandora will learn a lot from them.

“Yandora, you pure water elves have really different ideas from others.” Ying said.

“I don’t know, there is still a lot to learn.” Yandora shook her head and said, “Let’s go to Qingce Village to find Lodia. There are some things I need to ask her face to face. I think Lodia can Give me the answer.”

“Why are you so sure?” Paimon asked doubtfully.

“This feeling seems to be innate. The more I learn now, the closer I feel to the name Lotia. She is like the sea, the destination of our pure water elves.” Yandora answered. Said: “No, Lotia makes me feel wider than the sea.”

“It seems that she is the Lotia we are familiar with.” Paimon turned to Ying and spread his hands.

Ying nodded and said, “Yeah.”

“Do you know Lotia?” Yandora asked doubtfully.

Paimon smiled and replied, “We’ve known each other for a long time.”

As the two elves talked, they walked towards the place where Yandora was feeling. Finally, they saw Lotia resting with her eyes closed in a piece of water in Qingce Village.

“Lodia!” Pamon waved to Lotia.

“You are finally here.” Lotia said, “How is it? Do you like this surprise?”

“Wha, what kind of surprise?” Paimon asked doubtfully: “Lodia, you wouldn’t say it was a surprise to see you here, would you?”

“Of course not. The pure water elf named Encounter next to you is a surprise.” Lotia replied: “I used the phantom transformed by the water element to improve her knowledge base step by step. Now She can be considered a living being who can think.”

“I, I still don’t understand.” Pamon scratched his head and said, “This has nothing to do with the surprise, right?”

“What do you mean by Lodia, give this Yandora to me?” Ying said with some surprise.

“Well, that’s it. She was originally a spy or assassin sent by Fontaine.” Lotia said: “She may have a lot of connections with the new Water God, so I can’t let her go.”

Yandora: “.”

fluorescent:”.”

Are you lying? Your excuse is completely unworkable. Compared with Liusu’s trick of deceiving people, you are still far behind as a dependent.

“Lodia, I am not an assassin from Fontaine.” Yandora explained.

“Your explanation is not important to me.” Lotia glanced at Yandora and said, “Because I said you are an assassin, then you are an assassin.”

Yandora: “.”

“It’s just that I didn’t expect that you would actually come to Liyue all the way.” Lodia continued: “The moment you set off from Fontaine, I had already noticed you. What you saw and heard along the way , which is what I want to show you.”

“Including, the bitter water, the phantom of the water containing knowledge, and the fact that you can see me in this place.”

“Lodia, I don’t understand.” Yandora shook her head and said, “The way you feel now is very different to me. You are no longer a pure water elf, but I can feel an inexplicable feeling from you. Affinity, this affinity is stronger than the water god I have seen.”

“Yes, no matter it is a stream, a river, or a river, their final destination is to merge into the sea, but I don’t want to blend in.” Lotia said, “So, I became [the sea].”

Yandora: “I don’t understand.”

“It’s normal that you don’t understand. Pure water elves follow the water and spread across the earth in order to let their gods’ love for the world, but they have no love at all. They can’t experience true love.” Lotia said slowly: “Let me tell you a story. It’s the story of a pure water elf and a boy.”

“Okay, I like listening to stories the most!” Pamon cheered with a smile: “Lodia, tell it quickly.”

As Lotia told it, Paimon, Ying, and the ignorant Yandora gradually learned the truth of the story, because the boy Lotia was talking about was the old man they met in Qingquan Town before.

This story happened between him and the Pure Water Elf. The young boy who was ignorant at first made a wish in front of the spring for the first time, and got a response from the spring water elves.

She responded to the boy’s wish, but had no ability to fulfill him, but she could share the wish, draw life from her troubles, and share it with him.

Gradually, the boy poured out his true feelings to the spring water, making the ignorant spring water elf understand that the world is not only beautiful, but also deplorable and dark, and there are not only layers of dark clouds covering the night sky.

The young man shared his helpless troubles with the spring water spirit, and the spring water spirit would gently and silently wipe away his tears. From then on, whenever night fell, the spring water spirit would also tell the boy about the distant kingdom of water in his dreams, and about that. Sapphire’s hometown, and at this time the boy became a silent listener.

In this way, she gained the ability to talk in teenage dreams, and they became good friends who talked about everything.

“Well, why do I feel a little weird, as if something sad is going to happen.” Paimon scratched his head.

“This is a sad story.” Ying glanced at Paimon and said, “Look at old Finch guarding that pool of water every day. Yandora also said that the spring water elves are always there, but she doesn’t want to appear in the old pool. Just in front of Finch.”

“Yes, so the pure water elves have love, but they don’t understand love.” Lotia said with emotion.

“What about Lotia?” Paimon asked doubtfully.

“Me? You should understand a little bit, right?” Lotia said with some uncertainty: “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, the story is not finished yet.”

“Hehe, even though I know the result, I like to listen to stories.” Pamon scratched his head and said, “Lodia, please continue telling.”

“When the night wind stopped blowing and the moon in the pool returned to fullness, the boy heard the voice of the elf for the first time.

Elves are born to be more slender and sensitive creatures than humans, and the young man couldn’t help but be fascinated by her gentle and elegiac language.

But elves are born to be more slender and sensitive creatures than humans. Through the boy’s eyes, she saw the longing that could not be concealed and the promise that was about to blurt out.

Suddenly the elf panicked.

Mortal life is tenacious but short. Young people will eventually grow up and grow old. When he loses his youth and innocence, how will he treat the purity of the elements? When he gets older, will he blame himself for wasting his life because of a childish promise?

The spirit of the spring is pure and kind, but she does not understand love in the human world. She has never seen human miracles, and only regards thousands of years of changes as trivial. Because of this, she was particularly afraid of separation.

What seems like a miraculous waiting to humans is just a short-lived beauty to the elemental spirits.

And the aging of a loved one cannot be undone even by the power of elves.

The slender spring elf couldn’t bear to see that day come irreversibly, so she stopped the young man with a kiss.

The young man was so stupid that he mistook the elf’s cold kiss of rejection as an acknowledgment of the promise.

At that moment, the elf made up his mind that he would have the heart to leave the boy.

The young man made a vow to always be by the side of Qingquan. ”

“Ah!” Paimon couldn’t help but exclaimed: “The fountain elf would do such a thing to old Finch. No wonder he would stay there all the time. He probably thought that the fountain elf’s kiss meant he accepted him. , I suddenly felt so pitiful about old Finch.”

“You can’t say that, the spring water elf has her own thinking, and her decision is not wrong in the long run.” Lotia said: “If I am still the same as before, maybe I will be like this?”

“Speaking of which, how did Lotia meet Liusu?” Paimon asked in confusion.

“Actually, I was forced.” Lotia replied shyly at this time.

“Why??!”

“That day, Liusu suddenly came here, imprisoned me when I was ignorant, and then gave me everything I have now.” Lottia replied: “And she taught me in her own way.”

“In my opinion, she might have been in a momentary mood at that time? Maybe she also had a grudge against the pure water elf – [Lottia].”

At this point, Lottia continued a little embarrassedly: “After all, when I played “Genshin Impact II”, I was also annoyed by the pure water elf who would only summon water phantoms on the side, then sabotage the battle and mutter on the side.”

Paimon: “.”

Ying: “.”

Although what you said is right, don’t you think it’s strange to say that?

“Let’s stop here. My mission is also completed. You can take Yandora with you. With me here, she won’t cause trouble, and she will be of great use to you in Fontaine in the future.”

After that, Lottia disappeared before Ying and Paimon came to their senses.

“Lottia left.” Yandora murmured as she looked at the disappearing Lottia.
