The golden tree standing tall in the world of Teyvat - Chapter 342
c338 [Prince Xumi] Dongdong round hat
“Is this the half of dead wood that Qingque showed us? Why did it suddenly grow?” March 7 asked in confusion.
Tingyun looked at the towering giant trees in the distance and couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Wonderful, so wonderful! I’m so lucky, not many people in my life can see such a wonder!”
“What abnormal energy has been injected into this Jianmu?” Xing asked doubtfully.
Walter opened his mouth and explained: “Such abnormal energy is [Star Core].”
“Uncle Yang means that the star core caused the growth of [Jianmu]?”
Regarding March 7’s doubts, Walter nodded and said: “Yes, the star core that Xianzhou Yunqi is searching for is probably the culprit of such anomalies.”
“Ying, what are you looking at?” March 7 suddenly noticed that Ying beside him was stroking his chin and looking at Ting Yun’s back.
Ying replied: “I think there is something wrong with her.”
“Ah? What’s the problem?” March 7 asked doubtfully.
“Feeling.” When Ying said this, she suddenly paused, and directly changed the topic in March Qi’s curious eyes: “It’s nothing, maybe there is something wrong with my perception.”
March 7: “.”
“Ying, aren’t you also a Riddler?” March 7 said with a sad look on his face: “Can’t you just say something if you have something to say?”
“Let me observe again and let you know if the situation is confirmed.”
March 7 sighed and said, “Okay.”
“So what do we do now?”
“I think we should first go find Fu Xuan and ask the general.” Walter said, “In order to know what we need to do next.”
“Well, they are really mysterious. They know everything, but they just don’t want to talk about it. Moreover, they have the ability to solve the current problem. Hey, I don’t even understand why they do this.”
“What abundance, star core, there is a star god in the Luofu Immortal Boat, isn’t this just drizzle?”
Walter: “.”
“Actually, the views of gods and humans are different.” Ying suddenly said: “In my understanding, most things can be solved very easily in the eyes of the gods, but they will not take action personally. It’s a way of cultivating people to do it.”
“So I think Fu Xuan should be like this too.”
“What Ying said is not unreasonable. The Star God’s thinking is not something we can figure out. Since Luofu Immortal Boat has extended a hand of friendship to our train crew, we naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it.” Walter nodded.
On the other side, Fu Xuan looked helplessly at the image in front of him and said:
“General, do you have anything else? Can’t you finish it all at once?”
“I really have something to deal with. I’m very busy right now. Since you have made the decision on the Luofu Immortal Boat, you don’t need me anymore, right?”
“Ahem, Fu Xuan, please do me one more favor.” Jing Yuan moistened his throat and replied.
Fu Xuan glanced at Jing Yuan and said, “What are you busy with? Say it quickly.”
“that is.”
Before Jing Yuan could finish speaking, a three-dimensional image appeared in front of the two of them.
“Fellow Taoist Fu Xuan, there is a sharp increase in fertile and evil things in the northwest of the star map. I need your help.” Lan said.
“I know, I’ll be there in a minute.” Fu Xuan nodded.
“Well, thank you fellow Taoist for your help.”
Jing Yuan: “.”
After Lan’s image disappeared, Fu Xuan spread his hands and said, “Look, I told you that I’m very busy. The processing efficiency on the Luofu Immortal Boat is too low, and Fengshou can’t be killed all.”
“Okay, okay.” Jingyuan sighed and said, “Then let Qingque handle these matters about you. Hunting is the most important thing.”
“Actually, it’s not that we can’t help.” Fu Xuan suddenly said after pondering for a while.
“Oh? What do you think?”
“I don’t have any ideas.” Fu Xuan shook his head and said, “But I have a fun idea.”
“What?”
“I’ll tell you later, the people from the Star Dome Train Crew you need are here.”
Jing Yuan: “.”
“I’ll leave them to the general. When you take care of things, come back to me.” Fu Xuan said, “Ying, come with me.”
“Me?” Ying pointed at herself and asked in confusion.
Fu Xuan nodded and said, “Well, I have something to ask you.”
In Sumeru City, Ying from another world is currently preparing to participate in Sumeru’s festival celebration with Paimon.
“Paimon, what’s wrong? Why are you so downcast?”
“Oh, I miss her. She hasn’t come back after such a long time, and the celebration of Fu Xumi has begun.” Paimon said in a low tone.
“Why, am I not treating you well?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Paimon quickly waved his hand and said, “You are my friend, and she is also my best friend, but we are separated from her, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart.”
“She will be back in a few days. Didn’t she send you a message?”
“That’s what you said, but I really want to go there and see it, if we don’t have another mission.”
“Then let’s talk about it after doing this. I haven’t experienced this kind of traveling feeling for a long time.” Ying said with a smile: “I remember that my previous travel companion was that guy Deinsreb, and there was no Paimon at all. interesting.”
Paimon: “.”
“Please stay, you two. Could it be that you are the famous Traveler and Paimon?” Suddenly a scholar stopped the two of them.
Paimon quickly adjusted his state and asked, “Yes. Who are you?”
“I’m Vikas, a member of the College Celebration Planning Committee. Have you ever heard of the College Celebration?” Vikas replied.
Ying replied, “We heard from Xumi’s friends that we came here to participate in the College Celebration.”
“Yes, that’s why we came.” Paimon agreed.
“Oh? It seems that our publicity effect is pretty good.” Vikas said with a surprised look on his face, “Since you two are interested in the College Celebration, how about I give a brief introduction?”
“Well, you say.” Ying nodded.
“Ahem. The College Festival is a grand event held by the Order Academy, and it has a very long history. Specifically, it can be divided into two parts: [College Carnival] and [College Championship].”
“[College Carnival] is held every year. During the celebration, the six schools will set up stalls in the city to entertain tourists and promote the interesting places of their own schools to increase their influence.”
“And the [College Championship] held every four years allows each of the six schools to select a representative to compete for the final championship.”
“This year, the College Carnival and the College Championship will be held together, so the atmosphere in the city is unprecedentedly lively.”
“I see! Thank you, I feel that your introduction is very detailed!” Paimon thanked.
“You’re welcome. It is my duty to answer questions about the College Festival, and I actually have a request for you two.” Vikas waved his hand.
“Eh? Is there anything we can help you with?”
“It’s like this – this year’s academy celebration is very important to us.” In response to Paimon’s doubts, Vikas replied: “Because of the departure of Lord Grass God and the reform of the Order Academy by the Great Sage, a large number of useless scholars have been eliminated. Now we need to recruit some talented scholars again.”
“Not only that, we also specially invited many people living in the desert to participate, hoping that they can feel the atmosphere of the Order Academy in advance.”
“Will these actions of the Great Sage not cause objections?” Paimon asked curiously: “Didn’t he do a lot of wrong things before?”
“We did not trust him before, but since the crisis of Xumi was resolved, Lord Grass God did not punish the Great Sage, but gave him A chance to atone for his sins. ”
“From then on, the great sage was like a madman. He exiled all his helpers and scholars of his school, and screened the entire church. No matter who it was, as long as they had problems before, they would not be let go. ”
“Not only that, he also improved the treatment of scholars, but he did not seek more benefits for himself as before. Except for eating and sleeping, he was immersed in work, and at a certain time every day, we could see him praying to the statue of Lord Grass God. ”
“Over time, everyone gradually accepted his approach. Some people speculated that Lord Grass God changed his mind and let him continue to atone for his mistakes. ”
“Is that so? I said so. “Paimon nodded in understanding.
“Yes, with the intervention of Lord Grass God, we believe that the great sage will not do anything that violates Xumi. “Vicas nodded and said, “By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you.”
“What is it?” Paimon asked puzzledly.
“That’s right. The Great Sage has a godson who is not well-liked by Xumi scholars. Not only that, the Great Sage also hates him very much. When you meet him, try to stay away from him and don’t let him think about you.”
“Although the Great Sage gave some corresponding compensation in the end, who wants to be beaten up for no reason?”
“Ah? There is such a bad person?” Paimon was surprised: “Who is it?”
“I remember, his name is – Sanbing.” Vikas replied: “We all call him – [Prince Xumi].”
“[Prince Xumi]? Why does it sound like he has a very high status?” Paimon asked in confusion.
“That’s not the case. He doesn’t have any power.” Vikas shook his head and said: “Although he has no power, his character is really bad, and his strength is also strong, like a proud fighting cock. Basically no one can beat him.”
“So we stayed away from him as soon as we saw him, for fear of getting into trouble.”
Paimon: “.”
“Does the Great Sage not care?” Ying asked in confusion.
“Of course, why not? Every time he beats someone up, the Great Sage will not only give him corresponding compensation, but also punish him. Everyone sees this, but it’s useless. He will do the same thing again next time.”
“Okay, I didn’t expect him to be such a person.” Ying nodded and said helplessly, “It’s okay. We’ll beat him up next time we see him. I’m very strong.”
“Haha, then I’ll trouble you.” Vikas said with a smile.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this. It’s unlucky.” After Vikas finished laughing, he restrained his expression and changed the subject: “Regarding the previous things, because the reputations of the two of you are very loud in the rainforest and the desert, if you can participate in the college celebration, especially the college competition, you will definitely let many people know about this event.”
“We are not scholars of the Order Academy. Is this okay?” Ying asked curiously.
Paimon nodded and agreed, “Yes. Do you want us to join a certain school? Well. But when you become a scholar, you have to face [exams] and [papers].”
Vikas explained: “Please rest assured, the contestants of the college competition have been determined. I would like to invite you two to be our [special commentators] to observe and record every game.”
“You two don’t have to feel any pressure, just follow the game and enjoy this college celebration. In addition, we will also prepare some remuneration so that you won’t make a wasted trip.”
“That sounds good, what do you think?” Paimon asked.
“Are there any other people besides us? For example, other contestants, or judges, etc.”
In response to Ying’s doubts, Vikas patiently explained: “Don’t worry about this. When you arrive at the college celebration site, the host will introduce each contestant in detail.”
“How about it? Do you want to take this commission?”
“Sure.” Ying nodded.
Paimon smiled and agreed, “It sounds great to be able to go to the college celebration again and get paid!”
“The main venue of the college celebration is in the suburbs near the [Gathering Sand Hall]. The host is called Kalina. Tell her the situation and she will help you make arrangements.”
Vikas said, “It’s getting late, and the college championship is about to start. I wish the two special commentators a safe journey. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time.”
“Okay, let’s go!” Paimon cheered.
Ying: “.”
Where did your sad expression go before? I don’t really understand your emotions. You change too quickly.
The two followed Vikas’ instructions and came to the destination. There was a simple wooden table on the scene, with flags belonging to the six major schools hanging on it. At this time, many people had gathered under the stage, whether they were from the rainforest or from the desert.
When those people saw Ying and Paimon coming, they naturally made way for them so that they could observe the opening ceremony scene up close.
“Everyone, welcome to the Academy Celebration!” After waiting for a while, Kalina, who stood on the stage, saw that the time was almost up, and greeted everyone below the stage: “Next, I will announce the prizes of this Academy Championship-”
“Generous bonuses, project resources, limited edition Seven Saints Summoning Cards, and the right to wear the [Crown of Talent], you can guess without me saying that this is a symbol of honor!”
“[Crown of Talent]? What is that? Ying, do you know?”
“I don’t know either.” Ying shook her head and said, “For such trivial matters that have nothing to do with the previous purpose, I won’t go to great lengths to understand.”
“Okay.” Paimon scratched his head and said.
“She should be the Kalina that Vikas mentioned.” Paimon looked at the woman who was talking on the stage and continued: “She looks very busy now, let’s ask her later.”
“Yeah.” Ying nodded.
“I believe many people have seen the [Crown of Talent], or have heard the legend about it.” Kalina continued, “Twenty years ago, a scholar named Saziin spent a lot of money to buy it and donated it to the Order.”
“The generous prize money provided by the current Academy Championship is also from his sponsorship. Before the game starts, please allow me to thank this scholar who is not present.”
Ying: “.”
“Ying, what’s wrong with you?” Paimon suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Ying beside him, and asked with some confusion.
“Nothing, just a little negligence.” Ying shook his head and said with disdain: “Human nature brings disputes, and disputes lead to destruction, huh.”
Paimon: “.”
“Don’t you think this sentence is wrong?” Paimon asked with pretended curiosity.
“Yes and no, a large part of the reason for the destruction of Kanreya is also due to human nature, but this is not a one-sided statement that denies human nature.” Ying shook her head and said, “Because people can’t be perfect, perfect people are not people, because they are called gods.”
“And it is precisely because people have different shortcomings that the world becomes richer and more colorful. Otherwise, why would the perfect gods want to create imperfect people?”
Paimon scratched his head and said, “Well, what you said makes sense, but it’s not the main point.”
“Oh? Does Paimon know?” Ying was surprised.
“I, I don’t know, look, Kalina is going to announce that the game is about to start.”
Ying couldn’t help laughing at Paimon’s clumsy way of changing the subject, but she didn’t continue asking, but turned her attention to Kalina on the stage.
“Okay, I believe everyone is just like me. I can’t wait to see the game start!”
“Now let’s invite six [Academy representatives] to the stage. They are——”
“The representative of the Shenglun School, Tinari!”
“The representative of the Sulun School, Seno!”
“The representative of the Minglun School, Leila!”
“The representative of the Miaolun School, Kawi!”
“The representative of the Zhilun School, Falushan!”
“And the Yinlun School representative? The Yinlun School representative hasn’t arrived yet?” At this point, Kalina turned around and found that she didn’t see the Yinlun School representative, and said with some confusion.
“It’s better to end this noisy and useless introduction as soon as possible.”
Hearing this voice, everyone present showed a look of disgust.
“Well, is this the scattered soldier? Even Leila’s face showed a look of disgust. It seems that his reputation in Xumi is really loud.” Paimon spread his hands and said.
“Oh, here we come. The last contestant is actually Prince Xumi – Dongdong Round Hat!”
“Puchi.” Hearing this, Ying couldn’t help laughing.
Ying, who knew some of the plot, asked Paimeng next to him with a smile: “Paimeng, didn’t you really come up with this name?”
“It’s not me. It must be the influence of Liusu. Only she can give a more ugly nickname than me.” Paimeng replied with a look of discomfort.
“Humph.” Seeing that everyone present didn’t like him, Sanbing just snorted coldly and didn’t say anything.
“As expected of [Prince Xumi], this attitude is really disgusting.” The scholars below couldn’t help but complain out loud.
“Yeah, I don’t quite understand why the great sage let him play? Is there no one in the Yinlun School?”
Another scholar replied: “Ahem, you are right, there is indeed no one in the Yinlun School, because after the great sage arranged him into the Yinlun School, the number of scholars who applied for the Yinlun School was almost zero.”
“The Yinlun School is finished, if this [Prince Xumi] is here.”
“That’s not the case, because I heard rumors that these are the will of Lord Grass God, he is a child sent by the neighboring god to let Xumi Teachings and Orders help discipline, so everyone should be patient.”
“So that’s the case, I said, I understand, since it is the will of Lord Grass God, I think there must be a reason for her.”
“Well, before this [Prince Xumi] graduates, everyone should not apply for the Yinlun School. Besides, the knowledge of the Yinlun School is temporarily useless, and those who want to learn about this knowledge can go directly to the data center to check, the knowledge of the six major schools is available.”
“Yes, there are no so many restrictions on scholars obtaining knowledge now, all thanks to Lord Grass God.”
