The golden tree standing tall in the world of Teyvat - Chapter 326
c323 Cold joke
Mondstadt, the wind rises from the ground.
Liusu looked at the bottles of wine that Wendy had just dug out of the soil on the small table and couldn’t help complaining: “Wendy, are you going to entertain us like this during the Wind and Flower Festival?”
“That’s right, it’s so stingy.” Yae Shenzi also nodded and agreed: “It’s okay if we don’t invite you to dinner, but he even gave us wine that had been stored for who knows how many years.”
“Hey, you can’t say that. This is a fine wine that I have collected for thousands of years. I can’t bear to drink it myself.”
Wendy picked up a bottle of wine on the table and opened the lid. Suddenly, a mellow aroma of wine filled the air.
“Well, it is indeed good wine.” Zhongli said with some surprise: “And, I think these wines have special meaning to you, right?”
“Yes.” Wendy smiled and nodded: “But memories are just memories after all.”
“Now, I take out these drinks and drink them to show that I don’t want to fall into memories anymore. I want to move forward with you in the future.”
“I see.” Liusu nodded and said, “Since you have decided like this, I won’t be polite.”
“Ahem, wait a minute, Liusu, drink less. The way you drink is really a waste of money!”
Liusu: “Tsk, I just said it was so good, but in the end I wasn’t allowed to drink it.”
“If you drink normally, I won’t dissuade you. The way you drink is really disrespectful. Others drink water slower than you.” Wendy said helplessly.
“Okay, then you drink, and I’ll drink Lotia.”
Wendy: “???”
Zhongli: “???”
“Can Lotia drink?” Wendy looked at Liusu in confusion.
“Yes, she is a water elemental. Not only that, she can also change the taste I want. This is not much better than wine.”
“How to drink?”
“Of course I put a straw in it and drink it as a drink.” Liusu replied calmly: “As the god of grass, I find a dependent of the water element to drink water from. Is this normal?”
Wendy: “.”
Is this normal? This is not normal at all.
Zhongli was silent for a while and then said, “As expected of you, Liusu.”
Liusu’s behavior is simply unheard of for the two gods. Are you looking for a relative just to drink? Although I was a pure water elf before, this would be very strange, right?
Liusu also opened Skynet to contact Lotia, and found out that she was asked by Nasida to go to Fontaine to fry fish.
“Huh? Lotya went to Fontaine with Nasida and the others. Alas, there is nothing we can do now.”
“What are they going to Fontaine for?” Wendy asked doubtfully.
Liusu replied: “Oh, I was called by Nasida to fry fish with Keli.”
“If you want to fry fish, just fry fish. Why go to Fontaine? Isn’t it easy to fry fish in Mondstadt?”
“Well, it’s really not easy to fry.” Liusu replied: “They said they were tired of the fish from Shikoku and wanted to change their taste.”
Wendy: “.”
Wendy was silent for a moment and said with some hesitation: “That’s the country of the water god Fukalos. It’s a bit bad to fry fish like this, right? If they see it.”
“That’s why they called Lotia, because she is familiar with Fontaine, and Lotia can limit the power of the Water God to a certain extent.” Liusu spread his hands and said: “I just hope they don’t blow up Fontaine this time. ”
“Okay.” Seeing that Liusu had already said this, Wendy didn’t say anything else.
Water God Fukalos, I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with him.
“By the way, I didn’t mention it just now, why have you turned golden now?” Wendy asked doubtfully.
“After the Great Merciful Tree King was forgotten by the world, I did not completely delete the memory of the World Tree, so naturally that identity cannot be used. It would still be a bit troublesome if the Flower God and the Red King knew about it.”
Liusu explained: “I’m too lazy to modify World Tree’s memory anymore.”
“Then what is your identity now?” Wendy asked doubtfully.
Liusu spread his hands and replied: “I am now an ordinary idle person in Liyue. I have no job and no money. I can only live on the support of my apprentice and Gan Yu.”
Wendy couldn’t help but said: “Isn’t that a social waste?”
Zhongli: “Ahem.”
“Absolutely. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a loser in society. At least you don’t have to work.” Liusu replied, “The only regret is that I have no money left after leaving Liyue.”
“So, when I arrive in Mondstadt, as an old friend, why don’t you entertain us properly? Do you show your friendship as a landlord?”
“Ahem, few people in Mondstadt know that I am the God of Wind. Now I am just a bard who sings for a living.”
Liusu glanced at Wendy, shook his head and said with regret, “Oh, I’m so disappointed. I didn’t expect that a wind god would fall into such a situation.”
“Are you embarrassed to talk to me? Aren’t you the same? You are the God of Wisdom, the Immortal Lord.”
“It’s different. I’m dead, no matter it’s the identity of the Immortal Lord or the Great Merciful Tree King, but the wind god Barbatos is not dead.” Liusu shook his head and said: “Look at Ying and Nasida, they are Whatever you want, I’ll look at you later.”
“If I go to Inazuma, both Kage and Shenzi will make arrangements for me.”
Shadow nodded and agreed, “Yeah, that’s right.”
Wendy: “.”
“Forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore. I can’t talk to you anyway. Let’s drink and drink.”
Not long after Keli and Nasida left, Albedo’s sudden arrival, and after some discussion, and Albedo’s unique insights into Nasida, made Seno and others relax in their anxious mood. Under Abedo’s arrangement, we agreed to have a picnic next to the Cider Lake in the afternoon.
Dusk fell and dusk approached. After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, everyone sat together around the bonfire.
“The [Fragrant Pan-fried Fish] just now was really good. I didn’t see how it was made, but the umami taste seems to come from more than just the fish itself.” Tinari said.
Paimon replied: “That’s for sure. This is the special flavor we got in Liyue, but I didn’t expect that it would be so delicious when used to cook fish.”
“I see, it turns out to be a special fragrance.” Tinari nodded and said, “That’s really a pity.”
“Does Tinari still want to eat [Fragrant Fried Fish]?” Paimon asked doubtfully.
“Yes, it tastes very good. I don’t know what elements it contains in that special fragrance. As soon as I take it in, I feel like my body wants to dance unconsciously with the thoughts in my mind.”
After saying that, Tinari suddenly stood up, turned his back to everyone and made two iron-mounted gestures.
“This way, it will be much more comfortable.” After Tinari performed two and a half sets of movements, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down in his seat.
Paimon: “.”
fluorescent:”.”
“Paimon, Liusu said that this seems to be a flavor made from the fungi on Sumeru’s phoenix. After eating it, people will have hallucinations.” Ying said to Paimon in a low voice: “I just said it was a bit strange. I feel like I have turned into a mushroom and want to do a few moves.”
“Huh? What about us before?”
“I didn’t know it just now. It smelled good, and it was labeled [flavor], so I used it to fry fish. Fortunately, the flavor made from this mushroom is not poisonous and will not be harmful to the body.”
“Then, do you want to give this seasoning to Tinari?”
“Give it, it’s not poisonous after all.”
After Paimon finished speaking, he turned to Tinari and said, “Tinari, we also have some special [flavor] here. If you like it, I’ll give you a copy.”
“Really?” Tinari asked in surprise: “Is this [flavor] too expensive? After all, it tastes so good.”
“It’s not expensive. It’s given to us by our friends. We also have a lot of other seasonings.” Pamon waved his hand and said, “Tinari has helped us a lot before, and we haven’t had time to thank you yet.”
“Thank you, then I’m welcome.” Tinari said with a smile.
After waiting for a while, Sugar saw that no one spoke, so he asked everyone in a low voice: “Um, does anyone want to try my nutritious meal later?”
Sano replied calmly: “I want one.”
“Where’s Ke Lai? You don’t seem to eat much. Is it because you have a bad appetite these two days?”
Kelai shook his head and explained: “Ah, I don’t have a big appetite.”
granulated sugar:”.”
Sugar nodded and walked silently in the direction of the nutritious meal she cooked.
Kelai: “.”
“Little cutie, give me one too.” Alicia shouted to Sugar with a smile.
Sugar was stunned when she heard Alicia’s voice, and immediately responded: “Ah, okay.”
Kelai glanced at Sugar, who was busy, and said with some embarrassment: “I’m sorry, am I in a cold mood?”
“Tinari, on the road that day, we saw a white thing walking on two legs. Was it Paimon?” Seno did not answer Kelai’s words, but turned to Tinari on the left and asked.
“What day?” Tinari asked with some confusion, not understanding what Seno meant.
“On the day we passed the Shimen.”
Tinari: “.”
“Seno, are you dazzled? Or is the hat blocking your eyes?” Paimon looked at Seno doubtfully and said, “I always fly, I never walk on the ground.”
“That’s it.” Seno nodded and said:
“I thought it was Paimon that you ate a lot of [Luo Luo Mei].”
Everyone: (ーー゛).
“Isn’t it funny?” After waiting for a while, Seno didn’t hear the laughter he wanted, so he turned around and asked in confusion.
“Because [Luo Luomei] [falls], Paimon [falls] to the ground.”
“Alicia, what’s wrong with you?”
Alicia folded her arms and shrank her neck and said, “It’s nothing, I just felt a little cold suddenly.”
Paimon: “.”
“Why didn’t you stop him?” Ying asked doubtfully.
“This is part of getting to know each other. Thinking on the bright side, Seno does treat you all as friends.” Tinari replied helplessly.
“Want to do an experiment on this hypothesis?” Abedo suddenly suggested.
“what?”
Abedo replied: “Whether native Mondstadt plants have a systemic impact on the bodily functions of floating life forms.”
“Don’t treat me as an experiment!” Paimon was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: “Besides, according to your logic, will I become that chubby after eating Dundun peaches?”
Ying pondered for a moment and suddenly said: “Do you know anyone who can complete a superconducting reaction by himself?”
“Tassel?” Pamon scratched his head and asked with some uncertainty.
“No, it’s Xeno.”
“Why?” Paimon asked confused.
“Because his joke is very cold. Ice and thunder can produce superconducting reactions. If it doesn’t work, I will freeze to death.” Alicia replied.
Paimon looked at Ying in disbelief and said, “Ying, why are you too?”
Sano: “.”
“Hahahaha.” Tinari couldn’t help laughing when he heard this.
“Then do you know who my biggest enemy is?” Paimon said angrily.
“Seno?”
Paimon was surprised: “Hey, how did you know?”
“Because he plays Paimon hard.”
Paimon: “.”
Everyone: “.”
“Hahahaha.” When everyone was silent, Kelai also laughed: “Compared to Mr. Seno’s cold jokes, the travelers and Paimon’s jokes are more enjoyable.”
“.Your prejudice against me must have been accumulated over a long period of time.” Sainuo stared at Kelai expressionlessly.
“Seno, you seem to have become a lot more cheerful since you came to Mondstadt! Does it feel different from when you were in Sumeru?”
Seno replied: “Because I am Adventurer Seno.”
“It’s not funny,” Ying said expressionlessly.
“Huh? Isn’t it funny?”
Tinari explained helplessly: “That’s right, you only saw him at work during his time in Xumi. In fact, he was always like this when he was in a good mood.”
“Yes, yes, I can also testify. When eating, I occasionally complain that the bowl is too shallow to hold dishes, but he will say something unexpected to me.” Kelai nodded in agreement.
“I understand. Let me introduce myself again. Before, I was Gale Discipline Officer Seno. From now on, please think of me as Adventurer Seno.”
“Yes, that’s it! Keep repeating the sentences you find interesting until you accept them.”
“That means there are two states? It’s so interesting, as free as material transformation. I want to learn this trick too!”
Sugar’s sudden words made Abedo couldn’t help but complain: “It will turn into the extremely serious Sugar and the one who is always in a daze.”
granulated sugar:”.”
“By the way, you guys have chosen Mondstadt as your destination. Do you have anything to do?”
In response to Albedo’s doubts, Kelai replied aloud: “Ah, I heard Lisa say before that the Wind Flower Festival is one of the most important festivals in Mondstadt.”
“I would like to take this opportunity to present you with the flowers of the wind full of love and respect. Thank you for taking care of me in the past.”
“Having the opportunity to go out and make more new friends is also a good thing for Kelai.”
As soon as Tinari finished speaking, Seno suddenly said: “[Pile high].”
Paimon scratched his head and said, “Huh?”
“The sentence just now seemed to be calling her [Kelelei]. I have also heard [pile high] in a similar format.” Seno explained: “However, on the continent of Teyvat, it seems that [hook] is still used. Hook fruit] There are more naming rules like this”
Everyone: “.”
Seeing this, Paimon whispered between Ying and Alicia: “Wow, this kind of scene makes people so cold that they don’t know how to answer, but he actually continued talking without changing his expression.”
“As for me,” Tinari said, “Xumi has changed a lot recently, but my job has become easier.”
“It’s a rare opportunity for me to take a vacation. I can not only accompany Collet, but also take a look at Mondstadt’s various flora and fauna. I’ll share more with you later. Kill two birds with one stone.”
Speaking of this, Tinari thought of the previous things again and couldn’t help but sigh and said: “But, what about Lord Grass God?”
“Hmm.” Paimon scratched his head and then changed the subject: “What about Xeno?”
Seno replied without changing his expression: “Escort Kelai.”
“Excuse, this is really an excuse.”
Faced with Kelai’s merciless expose, Sano was silent for a while and then said: “The customized card back of Seven Saints’ Summoning.”
“Sure enough, there is another purpose!” Paimon exclaimed.
“Have you all played the Seven Saints summons?” Seno asked.
Ying nodded and said, “I have beaten him.”
“As expected of my friend, you are outstanding.” Sainuo nodded and said, “After I came up with the idea of changing the back of the cards, I asked around and finally decided to ask the legendary Teacher Bai to come out.”
“Wait, is the back of the card really that important?” Paimon interrupted doubtfully: “I think the original back of the card is pretty good-looking.”
“You don’t understand.” Seno shook his head and said, “This is a kind of belief as a duelist.”
Paimon: “.”
Seeing Paimon’s silence, Seno continued: “I am in Sumeru and my card friend Zetian who has participated in the Rongcai Festival told me that Teacher Baichao is from Mondstadt and he can go to Mondstadt to try his luck.”
“Teacher Bai Chuo, isn’t that right?”
Having said this, Paimon and Ying cast their sights on Albedo, who was not far away.
“What, is he your friend?”
“I see, you came to Mondstadt specifically to find Bai Chuo.” Albedo nodded with understanding.
Sainuo shook his head and replied seriously: “No, you can’t say that. The main reason is to escort Kelai here.”
“No, Kelai has sneaked to Mondstadt several times, and this is the only time you’re here.” Tinari glanced at Seno and said, “If it weren’t for the Seven Saints who flowed into Sumeru from Liyue a few months ago, If summoned, you probably won’t come to Mondstadt.”
“Don’t just talk about me, aren’t you yourself too?”
“If my writer friend were here, he would probably say this is [a book that is no coincidence].”
Paimon was surprised by Albedo’s sudden words and asked him: “Are you going to admit it?”
“Wait a minute, are you Teacher Baichao?!”
Abedo stood up and replied: “It is a bit inappropriate for new friends to call me by my pen name. Just call me Abedo.”
“What, you are the chalk teacher Seno. This guy has been talking about you every day recently, saying that he must ask you to help design a version of the card back.” Tinari also said in surprise.
“Tsk, don’t say it.”
“Generally speaking, I don’t accept private customization commissions, but after some contact, I have treated you as friends.” Albedo said: “You are all interesting and knowledgeable people. Moreover, Sano is very interested in the Seven Saints. The love for the call was extraordinary, and you could see it in his eyes.”
“Of course.” Sai Nuo nodded.
“Thank you for coming all the way from Xumi to see me. In this case, I am honored to receive this commission.”
Sai Nuo asked: “Then, how much remuneration should I prepare for this masterpiece that can be passed down from generation to generation?”
“It shouldn’t be called a masterpiece, right?” Abedo said in surprise.
Seno replied with a serious face: “The painting that can be placed on the back of my Seven Saints Summoning Card must be a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation! Please allow me to say so.”
“Let him go, they are all card-playing enthusiasts,” Tinari said.
“That’s it, it’s such a waste of faith.”
When Abedo heard this, he couldn’t help but think of the bard who played cards with him every now and then.
“Then I want to hear a few more jokes.” Thinking of this, Abedo continued.
“Joke? Do you like my joke?”
This time it was Seno’s turn to be surprised.
“I quite like it.” Albedo replied: “The two jokes that Traveler and Paimon told before were also very good.”
“But you didn’t smile just now.”
Abedo explained: “Well, whether you laugh or not is another aspect. I think it’s funny.”
“Would that kind of joke be funny?” Paimon scratched his head and looked at Albedo in confusion.
Tinari sniffed his nose and suddenly said: “Well, let me interrupt first. Have you smelled any strange smell?”
“Ah, my nutritious meal!”
Sugar, who was chatting with Kelai, suddenly thought of something and exclaimed.
“It seems that I can’t eat the nutritious meals made by the little cutie. What a pity~”
