Chapter 88: Small Clips and Mascots
Two days later, the short and long beach trip came to an end.
The three found the main road mentioned by Paimon and walked along the road to Mondstadt. Although the food was not as rich as in the city, it was no longer monotonous.
Chen Tianfeng walked in the front, with a long sword on his waist, and his left hand in the arm armor swung lightly, and a wind blade broke through the air, sending the hillock man who only had time to say "YA!" back to the earth vein.
"There seems to be a problem with the flow of Mondstadt's earth veins." Chen Tianfeng frowned, "There shouldn't be so many projected monsters on the road."
Could it be that the dragon disaster broke out?
Chen Tianfeng glanced at Ying secretly, always feeling that with Wendy's temperament, it is very likely that the originally set dragon disaster will be changed beyond recognition.
Apart from anything else, if Wendy appeared in front of them, he would definitely bow and shout "The five hundred years have come, please return to the position of Lord Wind God!" before Wendy started to fool around.
Let's see how this guy will act then.
"Eh? Is there?"
Paimon flew forward, picked up the [Broken Mask] and handed it to Chen Tianfeng, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Paimon often encounters Hill Choppers, um, sometimes he is chased by them. He only took a slime, how stingy!"
"...Paimon also has a wonderful past."
Ying rubbed Paimon's hair, "Don't worry, with me here, no one can bully Paimon in the future."
"Woo woo~ Ying, you are so nice~"
As expected, the little mascot clamped it up.
Chen Tianfeng felt nothing the whole time. He looked up at the sky and made a rough estimate: "Speed up a little, we can reach the Starfall Lake before dark."
"Starfall Lake?" Ying became interested, "It sounds like a beautiful place."
"Yes, it is indeed beautiful." Chen Tianfeng nodded: "It is said that the stars fell that night, bringing moisture and hope to the world. This beautiful wish turned into a lake. The clear lake water is like the bright eyes of the wind god, enough to wash away the fatigue in the hearts of travelers and make the soul intoxicated."
"Why haven't I heard of this saying?" Paimon scratched his hair, his eyes blank: "However, there is indeed a poem saying that the name [Starfall Lake] is because even the stars will be moved by this clear scene like the bright eyes of the wind god. Falling into the lake."
"All the same." Chen Tianfeng waved his hand and said, "In short, the water of Xingluo Lake is very clear and the scenery is beautiful. When we get there, we can rent a boat and paddle on the eyeball of the God of Wind."
Ying & Paimon: "..."
"Isn't this statement too destructive to the scenery?"
Ying sighed, and then was surprised: "There are boats for rent in Xingluo Lake?"
"Of course there are, otherwise why would they promote the scenery of Xingluo Lake so vigorously? Is it really because they like it?" Chen Tianfeng glanced at Ying and said, "Be realistic, Ying. For most people, the scenery that can be realized is the good scenery, and everyone has to live. "
This can also be regarded as a kind of living off the mountain and living off the water.
"I thought..." Ying opened her mouth and sighed, "To be honest, we have been walking for so long, and there is not even a complete village. I really didn't expect that the Mond people would develop tourism." "Normal, I was also shocked when I first knew about it." Chen Tianfeng nodded, "The world of Teyvat is very special. Due to some reasons, a considerable part of the wilderness is not suitable for living and has no development value. It is also because of this that those places with development value will give birth to the brilliant light of civilization." The prosperous and magnificent Mondstadt, the Wind Dragon Ruins that are almost full of hurricanes and monsters, the Liyue Harbor where thousands of sails return, and the ruins of Guiliyuan... The remnants of the demons, the disorder of the earth veins, and various problems make the habitable places on the continent pitifully few, but even so, human civilization has thrived in this harsh environment and created many miracles that even the gods have to look at. "Life will always find a way out." Ying was quite emotional. "Well, life will always find a way out. Even if the conditions are bad, with the joint efforts of the people and gods of Teyvat, the land has been opened up and the human homeland has expanded a lot."
Chen Tianfeng nodded: "Take Mondstadt as an example. The climate of Mondstadt was not so mild at first. It was the wind god Barbatos who played the strings of his harp, blew away the ice and snow with the divine wind, split the mountains, and brought a brand new Mondstadt to the people who believed in him."
"Well, it sounds like the wind god is a very responsible god who cares about his people."
Ying was thoughtful. From this point of view, perhaps the wind god would not be the god who blocked their brother and sister.
"..."
Chen Tianfeng glanced at Ying with a strange look in his eyes. After thinking about it, he decided not to break her fantasy and let Wendy's image shine for a short time - Wendy will break this image herself in the future.
As he was thinking, he suddenly saw Paimon staring at him, as if he was about to say something but stopped. He was stunned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"That... Tianfeng..." Paimon hesitated for a few seconds, finally mustered up the courage, took a deep breath, and said, "Can this kind of introduction work be left to me in the future?"
Obviously, she is the guide, and she should introduce the situation of the countries in Teyvat to Ying... Chen Tianfeng said all her lines!
The little mascot felt wronged, staring at Chen Tianfeng with big eyes, not daring to be angry or speak.
"..."
Chen Tianfeng twitched the corner of his mouth, "Okay, leave it to you, leave it to you, you tell it."
"Yeah!"
Paimon nodded repeatedly, as if he was afraid that Chen Tianfeng would go back on his word, and then cleared his throat, his voice soft and sticky: "Mond is the country of wind. As we all know, language and poetry float with the wind..."
Little clip... Chen Tianfeng shook his head and continued to clear the way ahead.
Ying smiled and followed Chen Tianfeng, glancing at the long sword on his waist: "Tianfeng, your sword skills don't seem to be very good?"
"Well, I have only learned swordsmanship for a short time, and the person who taught me how to use a sword is not good at it." Chen Tianfeng explained as he walked: "She is better at using a bow, but I don't like it, so I didn't learn it."
"Is that so..." Ying thought about it and smiled: "Then do you want to learn swordsmanship from me?"
"You use a sword, right?"
"Swords and knives have something in common, and my sword skills are better than yours."
"I believe this. After all, it is normal for a traveler who travels through the starry sea to have an extraordinary swordsmanship."
"So do you want to learn?" The girl's eyes sparkled and she smiled: "Just call me 'Teacher Ying'."
"..." Chen Tianfeng turned around and looked at Ying in surprise. He didn't expect that she had such a hobby. However, Chen Tianfeng did not hesitate or think about it. He stopped and turned around immediately, bowing his hands: "Thank you, Teacher Ying. I am very grateful."
"Hehe, very good. When we meet the Hill Culverts again, Teacher Ying will show you again." Ying straightened his chest, raised his chin slightly, and stretched out his white palm: "Give me the knife."
Chen Tianfeng did not hesitate, took off the long sword, and put it in Ying's hand with the sheath.
"Huh?"
Ying's palm sank, and looked at the long sword in surprise: "Such a heavy sword."
"Well, it's specially made. It's too light and I'm not used to it."
Chen Tianfeng explained.
"Hey! You two!" The little clip that was no longer clamped stood on his waist and glared at the two people angrily: "Did you listen to Paimeng's introduction carefully!"
What kind of role-playing has been played, and he doesn't appreciate Paimeng's efforts at all! It's so hateful!
"Well, does Paimeng want to come and learn together?"
Ying, who was very interested in teaching, invited again, looking at Paimeng with beautiful big eyes, full of expectation.
"Paimon, Paimon doesn't understand what you are saying! Paimon is just a mascot, he can't learn swordsmanship!"
