Chapter 143

As the thunderclouds dispersed, the people of Daodao recovered from their uneasiness. After discovering that nothing serious happened, the Dragon King Festival was held as usual.

Although the hosting stage is at Narukami Taisha Shrine, in fact most people still adhere to the principle of proximity. All major shrines in Inazuma, including Inazuma Castle, have corresponding sacrificial activities.

Under the coordination of the company, everything was held in an orderly manner.

Uh-huh!

Thunder light emerged and turned into three figures, two large and one small.

"Wow! It's so lively!"

Looking at the scene in Inazuma Castle not far away, Paimon said excitedly: "Let's go there quickly!"

How could such a lively atmosphere be without Lord Paimon?

"You go ahead." Ying said calmly.

"Ah?" Paimon scratched his head, "Such a lively festival, won't the General participate?"

Of course I want to participate, but why should I come with you? ...What Kage was thinking was that he would call up Tora Chiyo later to watch the Dragon King Festival after a long time, and it would be a formal farewell to Kadodia.

"I have other plans."

"Don't say that." Paimon said with a smile, "The Dragon King Festival has started anyway, so let's go and have a look."

She was still thinking about hugging her thighs. There were so many delicious foods offered by the Dragon King. How much would it cost to eat them all? It would be different if there was a general there. He could casually take out a few million moras, which would be enough for them to eat as they pleased... Well, I, Paimon, have really taken great pains to save money for travelers!

"Perhaps Su Chen is here too. When the time comes, I will also introduce you to the General. He is Mondstadt's diplomatic envoy. Doesn't he also need to visit the General according to the procedure?"

"Um..."

Kage looked towards Inazuma Castle.

Are they like the humans of Kadodia...forget it, it's annoying to look at.

"Let's take a walk, the person will disappear." Shadow said, "It just so happens that I haven't been to Inazuma City for a long time."

"Okay, okay! Let's go then!" Paimon said excitedly after successfully holding him on his lap.

"Wear this."

Ying took out two masks.

As a wanted criminal, she has the consciousness to disguise herself at any time.

As for Shadow, it would be terrible if he was recognized.

Ying was disgusted, but when Ying said it might cause panic and prevent her from experiencing the Dragon King Festival properly, she still wore it to avoid trouble.

The three of them entered Inazuma Castle.

After hundreds of years, I once again immersed myself in this ancient city. The familiar city scenery, streets, buildings, people who also believe in the God of Thunder...the small toys on the street, the Dragon King statue, the shells...are all related to the shadow. The impression of the Dragon King Festival overlaps.

But compared to before, now he was accompanied by two strangers, and one of them was extremely noisy.

"Wow! Look, traveler, that Dragon King Candy Man is so big and looks so delicious!"

"What is that? A wooden sculpture of the Dragon King? It's so lifelike!"

"Dragon King Cuisine? I don't know what's in it... Hehe~ Let's go try it."

"welcome!"

...

I was urged to come in. It was an ordinary-looking shop, but there were a lot of people inside. I planned to leave... The smell was so fragrant, so I just took a seat.

The signature dish is Ryudo Tonkotsu Noodles, a name with unknown meaning, but it is surprisingly delicious, so I asked Tian Ling to send it to the castle tower every few days.

When I was checking out, I saw the traveler looking this way, not knowing what he wanted to express.

Leave and walk to an arena with a signboard that reads 'Dragon King's Martial Arts'. Sign up to participate in the competition. The winner will receive a rich reward. Well, it is quite Inazuma Samurai style.

A ghost clan won the competition. Although he was not as good as Chiyo, his strength was pretty good, but his voice was loud and a bit noisy. How unbecoming was he to hug and cry with a group of 'little brothers' for a mere million mola? ?

Speaking of which, Chiyo is not here on such a lively day?

Maybe at Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Next is the chess skill competition. A thing called Go was introduced from Liyue. It is said that it was invented by the Emperor of the People. My sister liked it very much at first and would play it every time she saw Kadodia.

My sister said that the chess piece falls because of the human heart.

I don’t like it very much, it’s too complicated and not as pure as martial arts.

On the stage for worship, this year's Dragon King statue was well done. There were fireworks during the worship. Fireworks should have been banned in Inazuma Castle, but today was a special exception.

The brief fireworks are very beautiful, but also very short-lived.

Paimon kept shouting, saying it was really similar, was it the human named Su Chen? Ha~ How can humans compare with Kadodia?

But whatever, now that I'm relieved, there's no need to worry about this kind of thing.

The sacrifice was still the same, with some strange performances added by the Son of God, the Kagura was good, but forget about the rest.

A dim sum shop, the shopkeeper claims to be an old sign, his ancestors made dim sum for the Dragon King, and the Dragon King ate the dim sum as promised. The traveler and Paimon were deceived, how could such a thing happen.

But the snacks taste good.

...

Walking through the lively streets of Inazuma Castle, the petals of the pink cherry blossoms were flying in the air, surrounded by the hustle and bustle, but he seemed to be isolated from the world among the crowds. Perhaps because he had figured out those things, Kage felt surprisingly calm inside.

There was a voice in my ears, which seemed to be that of an outsider.

"The Dragon King Festival is really lively, Karls, how much money do you still have from Mr. Su Chen? Let's go buy some specialties and take them back."

"Yes, my wife told me to buy specialties when I came out. I bought a rice wife from Liyue. Now I really have to eat dirt when I go back."

"Don't panic, it's not a big problem. Ask Mr. Su Chen for reimbursement."

"Speaking of which, where has Mr. Su Chen gone? That monster girl is still waiting at home."

"I don't know. Speaking of which, the monster girl is quite kind-hearted. I hope Mr. Su Chen will not let her down."

"What's your name...Torachiyo?"

"Yes, that's the name. He is so attached to Mr. Su Chen. How good their relationship is."

"Speaking of which, have you noticed that Mr. Su Chen looks quite similar to the Dragon King?"

Shadow paused.

The sound faded away and she turned back.

"Someone's coming."

Narukami's pressure was released instantly, and the powerful air flow dispersed the crowd, forming a vacuum area where only she stood.

Ying and Paimon were stunned.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

The samurai who maintained the order of the festival came quickly. When they saw the shadow taking off the mask, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly knelt down.

"I've met the General!"

The people around him also knelt down and shouted the name of 'general'.

"Get those people down for me."

Mondstadt Envoy: "???"

...

...

Narukami Taisha Shrine!

As the main stage of the Dragon King Festival, the excitement here is unimaginable.

Even though the entire Narukami Island is only that big due to geographical limitations, it still cannot withstand the enthusiasm of the people of Inae.

Looking at the long queue that almost reached the mountainside, Su Chen was speechless. There were so many more people going up the mountain than going down the mountain. By the time the people behind them entered Narukami Taisha Shrine, the Dragon King Festival would be over.

Are you here to step on the Dragon King's tail?

Su Chen, who originally planned to climb the mountain, immediately gave up the idea and flew directly into the shrine.

Crowds of people.

The shrine surrounded by cherry blossoms is full of various activities held for the festival. Eat, drink, play, and have fun. There are all kinds of festival items, such as fishing, barbecue, and painting... It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming as you look around. , the demons dance wildly.

"Let’s learn about the portrait of the Dragon King! This is the masterpiece of the famous painter Bai Ke. Don’t miss it when you pass by!"

"Master Gong Si's book "The Legend of the Dragon King" is on sale. If you buy it now, you will have a chance to get Gong Si's autograph!"

"Dragon King's first dish, Lord Dragon King said it was good after eating it!"

"Ema prays for the Dragon King's blessing!"

"The Dragon King Impersonation Contest has begun, let's go and have a look!"

The crowd began to flow in one direction.

Su Chen was so crowded that he looked back and found that he had already stepped off that stage.

Dang Dang Dang!

Gongs and drums sound.

Su Chen wondered: "Brother, what kind of program is this?"

Inazuma on the side said: "You don't know this? The Dragon King Impersonation Contest, a program arranged by Mr. Yaegomiya in the past few years, has been held several times, and it is quite exciting every year!"

"How exciting is that?"

"Let's put it this way, there are many people who look very similar to the Dragon King, and there are many Dragon Kings standing together... Of course, the main thing is temperament. Mr. Gongsi will judge the temperament, and then there is the performance, the acting competition, you have to have charm. In fact, these are all accompanied by stories. Everyone has specially prepared a set of scripts, and only if they perform well can they win awards. "

"So, is it similar to Liyue drama?"

"It's not that formal. Are you from Liyue? Huh? Huh? Huh?"

The person who finished speaking turned his head and saw Su Chen's appearance, and almost jumped up in fright.

"Lord Kadodia! Your Excellency, if you go to participate in the competition, you will definitely come first!"

Su Chen smiled and said: "Forget it, I am from Mondstadt and I don't even know this Dragon King."
