The golden tree standing tall in the world of Teyvat - Chapter 323
c320 Unequal contract
In a clean world with only blue sky and white clouds, there are two girls and a white mascot flying in the air.
“This is my story, called the story of Alicia and the Thirteen Heroes Chasing Fire.”
fluorescent:”.”
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel my eyes are sore.” After listening to Alicia’s story, Paimon rubbed his eyes with his hands and said with a choked voice.
“Little cutie, my story is over, now it’s your story~”
“I, I don’t have a story.” Ying heard Alicia calling him, recovered from the unknown emotions and shook his head.
“How come there isn’t?” Alicia said in surprise: “The girl who is favored by [God], I see a bright light like gold from your body. You must have many stories like this~”
“There are many stories, but compared to you, Alicia, ours seems a bit hard to tell.” Pamon scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
“Everyone has their own story, and they cannot be defined by the smallness or greatness of the story.” Alicia shook her head and said: “Now, I want to understand Ying, and I want to understand everything about her from her story. ”
At this point, Alicia turned to Ying with a smile and said: “Besides, Ying, I have responded to you so many times, now you should also respond to me once, right?”
fluorescent:”.”
In the end, Ying told Alicia her experience in a plain way.
“So that’s it, the story is very good.” Alicia nodded after listening and said: “You met Him at the second stop of the journey.”
“Yes, since then, my journey has been smooth.”
“That’s great. I almost envy you.”
fluorescent:”.”
Just talk, can you please stop being so close, I’m not used to it.
Seeing that she took a step back without leaving a trace, Alicia said with some disappointment: “Oh my, I’m disgusted.”
“Don’t get so close, I’m not used to it.” Ying said expressionlessly.
“Okay, okay, I didn’t expect that as me in another world, you would be as inhumane as Mei.”
If your understanding of “favor” is to do such strange things, then don’t do it.
Thinking of this, Ying still replied expressionlessly: “I am not you in another world.”
“Don’t be so heartless, I like you very much.”
fluorescent:”.”
So, what exactly does Tassel summon? Why did he change his slogan to this before?
“It’s my fault, it was you who suddenly shouted.”
“Ah, Tassel?!” Pamon said in surprise: “Why did you come here suddenly?”
“Well, someone was thinking about me in their heart, so of course I showed up. I didn’t expect that there were other people here.” Liusu replied.
“Ah, what a perfect girl, can you let me hug you?”
Liusu refused without hesitation: “No.”
“Oh, that’s such a pity.” The disappointment on Alicia’s face was clear, but she quickly cheered up and asked Liusu: “You are the other Liusu in my mouth, right? I’m very happy. see you.”
“Oh? How happy are you then?” Liusu asked pretending to be confused.
Alicia: “.”
Do you hear that this is what a [person] should say?
Then, under the stunned gazes of Ying and Paimon, Liusu behaved like a textbook and made Alicia in front of him sign a series of unequal contracts before leaving with satisfaction.
After Liusu left, Alicia also recovered from her trance, and everything that had happened before appeared in her mind again.
Alicia: oP2.
“Alicia, are you okay?” Pamon asked worriedly, looking at Alicia who was lying on the ground with a look of disbelief.
Alicia: “.”
“Ying, what should we do now?” Seeing that Alicia didn’t respond, Pamon turned to Ying and asked.
“I don’t know either, but I think Alicia should be okay?” Ying replied with some uncertainty: “After all, she smiled so happily before.”
“Sure enough, what is said in the novel is correct. The more beautiful and perfect a girl is, the more likely she is to lie.” Alicia was still lying on the ground with a look of disbelief and murmured: “She is not a god, she is Devil, yes, that’s what it is.”
fluorescent:”.”
Paimon: “.”
“Is Alicia really okay? I think her state at this time seems a little wrong.” Pamon scratched his head and continued: “Besides, Tassel’s previous methods were too cruel.”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong. Isn’t it normal to make a deal with a devil and offer your soul to fulfill your wish?” Ying glanced at Paimon and said, “Although Liusu is not a devil, the meaning is similar.”
“Is this really normal?” Pamon scratched his head and asked, “Why do I always feel like something is wrong?”
“Alicia, are you okay?” Ying greeted Alicia: “I’m going to get up. If you don’t make a decision, you will have to stay in this space today.”
“Huh? Wait, I’m fine.”
After saying that, Alicia jumped up and the expression on her face changed from before, becoming the same as when Ying saw her for the first time.
“Why did you change so quickly?” Paimon asked in confusion: “Didn’t you change the previous second?”
“Well, it’s just that someone defeated me in the area I’m best at, and I feel a little disappointed.” Alyssia sighed and said, “I didn’t expect that this day would come. Although the contract made me lose everything I had, I also got everything I wanted.”
“And from the result, it’s perfect, isn’t it~”
At this point, Alyssia’s pink eyes were filled with the light of hope, “Kevin, Aponia, Qianjie and everyone, I believe that in the near future, we will definitely meet in the beautiful new world, and then we can live as ordinary people.”
“Forgive my selfishness, I will use everything I have to exchange you from Him ‘You are so important to me. I am worth it to exchange you twelve people for me. Isn’t it~”
“Ailishia.”
“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.” Hearing Ying’s words, Ai Lishia wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and smiled at Ying, saying: “I am very happy now, because [God] really exists in the world.”
“Now He has also responded to my wish. Let’s go and see your world.”
Ying nodded and said: “Okay.”
After Liu Su left Ying’s world, her figure appeared in her own small courtyard, but at this time she had a palm-sized girl in a long skirt condensed by pink light in her hand. She had the same appearance as Ai Lishia, which was exactly what Liu Su got from Ai Lishia.
“Ailishia.”
“At this time, are you going to say that I got Ai Lishia?” Da Ci Tree King suddenly said.
“You are here to capture Pokémon.” Liu Su put away the pink object in her hand and complained to Da Ci Tree King.
“It’s almost the same. Speaking of this first Herrscher named Alicia, her behavior is really…”
“Really what?”
“Nothing, this pink statue is pretty, she will be mine from now on.”
Liu Su: “.”
After coming to this world, Alicia asked Ying to take her to visit this continent, and Ying agreed to her request naturally based on the inexplicable affinity with Alicia. So Ying chose Mondstadt as the first stop.
“This is Mondstadt, it is indeed a country like the free wind, the people here must be living very happily.”
“Yes, it’s a pity that their god is a god who doesn’t do his job.” Paimon said on the side.
“Are all the gods here the same as him?”
“Of course not, Liusu is special, and the other seven gods here are not as strong as Liusu.” Paimon explained: “Because of her appearance, the originally predetermined fate of this world has also changed.”
Alicia smiled and said: “By the way, won’t your friend named Kamisato Ayaka come with you? I can see that she likes you very much.”
“Ayaka said that she wants to practice in Liyue for a while, otherwise she will not be able to keep up with Ying in the future.” Paimon answered on the side.
“I think so too, well, let’s go into the city and take a look.”
“Well, let’s go.”
After entering Mondstadt, the few people saw Sucrose and Timaus talking about something at the alchemy table.
“So, Miss Sucrose, you said before that the package you received wouldn’t be anything dangerous, right?”
Timaeus said, “You have to be careful when opening the package. Last time, I asked a friend to help me find some research materials, but the transportation process was too bumpy and caused a reaction.”
“After opening the package, the [fresh] smell that would wake people up immediately in their dreams.”
“If there is something like this in the package, why not ask Mr. Albedo for his opinion first?”
“No, it’s not those dangerous objects,” Sucrose waved her hand and said.
“Timaeus, Sucrose! What are you discussing here!” Paimon flew forward and greeted the two.
“It’s you! We are talking about the strange package Miss Sucrose received before.”
“Strange package?” Paimon asked in confusion.
“Yes, it should be sent by the Xumi scholar who came here to study before, as a thank you gift for researching together.” Sucrose replied, “But who is this?”
“Let me introduce her. Her name is Alicia, from Liyue.” Paimon replied.
“Hello, my name is Sugar, and I’m an alchemist apprentice.” Sugar greeted a little stiffly.
“Don’t be nervous, little cutie.” Alicia smiled and waved her hand, saying, “I’m not that scary, am I?”
Sugar: “.”
“It’s the package of a scholar from the Order Academy. I feel like there’s nothing strange in it.”
Sugar heard this and continued along with Paimon’s words: “Well, there’s nothing dangerous in it, but some strange cards.”
“It seems that I’ve seen something similar here at Timaus before, so I wanted to ask what it does.”
Timaus asked in confusion: “Similar cards? Is it a test card for identifying reagents?”
“It doesn’t seem to be, look, it’s like this.”
After saying that, Sugar opened the box and revealed the cards used for the Seven Saints Summoning.
“Ah, the cards are… Oh, so Miss Sugar has never come into contact with this before.” Timaus said with some surprise.
“Indeed not. Speaking of which, during this period I have been working on the breeding project of sweet flowers that are five times larger in the snowy mountains. Is this a research that has recently attracted the attention of the academic community?”
“Haha, there are indeed a lot of people paying attention to it, but it is not some kind of research, but a very popular tabletop game now.” Timaeus explained: “It’s called – [Summoning of the Seven Saints]! ”
“[Summon of the Seven Saints]!” Paimon exclaimed.
“Why are you surprised? It’s not like you haven’t played before.” Ying glanced at Paimon and said.
“Hey, aren’t I livening up the atmosphere?”
“Ying, Paimon, what is this [Seven Sacred Summons]?” Alicia asked doubtfully.
“[Summon of the Seven Saints] is a tabletop card game developed by Liyue. I didn’t expect this card game to be so popular. It has only been launched for a while, and it has already spread to Mondstadt. .” Paimon explained.
“Yes, more and more people are playing [Seven Sage Summons] recently. Even Inazuma’s Yaedo has published a light novel based on [Seven Sage Summons]. The plot is also very interesting!”
Timaeus explained: “It is said that a Xumi boy found an ancient box of secrets in the attic of his home. After opening the lid, he found that the soul of the ancient card player [Crocodile King] resided inside.”
“It turns out that the [Crocodile King], who was the deputy king of the Red King, was plotted by the other party during the duel ceremony with the [Ibis King] and was sealed in the Secret Book Box.”
“After being rescued by a young man by mistake, [Crocodile King]’s spirit attached itself to the young man’s body, helping him gradually become a legendary poker player.”
“Wait, wait a minute, it was obviously a card developed by Liyue, why is the story of Xumi used?” Paimeng asked confused.
Although this is true in “Genshin Impact II”, it is reality here, and the [Seven Sacred Summons] was not developed by the two Sumeru scholars.
“I don’t know, but the story is written like this. It may be because the card game [Seven Saints Summon] is more popular in Xumi. In comparison, there seem to be a lot less people playing cards in Liyue. They A lot of the time I’m doing other things.”
“Hmm, it seems so.” Pamon scratched his head.
“Um Timaeus?”
“What’s wrong, Miss Sugar, are you also interested in this story? I can lend you the light novel.”
Sugar waved her hand and said: “No, I was thinking that last time you said that the deadline for the stage report was postponed due to some personal reasons.”
“Ahem, I did feel a little slack some time ago, but I have decided not to touch the Summons of the Seven Saints until new progress is made in the research.” Sanduang’s words made Timaeus say with embarrassment.
“That’s really a pity.”
“What’s wrong?” Paimon asked confused.
Sugar explained: “Bi Jing is a game sent by a scholar who has worked with me, so I want to at least understand the rules, so as not to live up to the intention of sending these cards.”
“Let me teach you!” Pamon said with his hands on his hips.
“Really, really? Paimon can play too?” Sugar asked confused.
Paimon still raised his head and said, “Of course, I am very powerful.”
“Then, I’ll leave it to you.” After hearing this, Sugar thanked Paimon.
Paimon suggested: “Then let’s go to the Cat Tail Tavern now!”
“Huh? Why are you going to the Cat Tail Tavern?” Sugar asked confused: “Is Paimon going to see Miss Diona?”
“Ms. Sugar, let me explain, because everyone goes back to the Cat Tail Tavern to play Seven Saints Summons during their leisure time. They also give each other cards and so on. They are very friendly to newcomers. I want to compare it to the Angel run by Mr. Diluc. The people inside are all masters of the [Seven Saints Summons].”
“I see, thank you, Timaeus.” Sugar nodded and then suggested to the others: “Traveler, Paimon, and Alicia, let’s go there now.”
“To be honest, listening to Timaeus talk like this made me a little curious about the summons of the Seven Saints.”
“Okay, let’s leave without further ado!”
“Ying, why did Sugar call you Traveler? Don’t you have a name?” Alicia asked doubtfully.
Ying spread her hands and replied helplessly: “I don’t know, except for some people, everyone else calls me a traveler, even if I introduce myself.”
“That’s right”
After a few people arrived at the Mao Tail Tavern, they found a place to sit down.
“Ying, please lend me your deck for a while.” Paimon said to Ying, “I’ll teach Sugar Seven Saints how to play.”
“As powerful as I said before, it’s not like I have to use my deck.” Ying glanced at Paimon and said.
“hey-hey.”
Alicia said: “Can I try?”
“Does Alicia want to play too?”
“Well, this card looks interesting.” Alicia nodded.
“Well, I’m kind enough to give you guidance on Alicia.”
Alicia smiled and said, “That’s all Paimon’s hard work.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” The masked expert waved his hand to Alicia and said, “You know my poker skills, even she can’t beat me.”
fluorescent:”.”
Obviously you have never won a game of cards with me, who gave you the confidence!
“Ahem, let Master Paimon introduce the rules to the two of you.” Paimon ignored Ying’s disdainful expression and pretended to moisten his throat and said: “It is needed for the summoning of the Seven Saints.”
After Paimon’s explanation, Sucrose and Alicia also had a preliminary understanding of [Seven Saints Summoning].
“This elemental dice box is so magical, what is its power source?” Alicia looked at a palm-sized transparent box on the table, which contained eight octahedral dice of different colors, and asked with some confusion.
“It’s the wind element, but that’s only used when using the duel disk. Ordinary elemental dice boxes need to be shaken by yourself.” Paimon explained: “The duel disk can identify the ability of the card and then make corresponding changes.”
“However, the duel disk needs to be certified as an official player before it can be collected at the corresponding locations in each city.”
Alicia smiled at Sucrose and said: “I see, Sucrose, do you understand? Let’s try a game now.”
“I, I understand too.” Sucrose responded a little stiffly.
