Chapter 187: The Future of Mecha

[(Excited male) A large reward for the stranger! A large reward for the stranger! Blonde hair with exposed belly button and pigtails, my dear brother, remember this!]

[(Lazy female voice) Has anyone seen my brother? Has anyone seen my brother? Ah, rock slimes don't count. Come here if you want to help, get out of here if you're making things worse. Only serious people please, only serious people please, I repeat, only serious people please! This isn't a drill, this isn't a game! Those who cause trouble will be sent to clean up Sky Plaza...]

"Hmm...did you hear that? Traveler, anyway, that's it. Hehe!" Paimon rubbed his hands together and spoke shyly, "This is a Mondstadt specialty, a boombox. You can hear it wherever there's wind in Mondstadt."

The traveler looked bewildered, and still felt a bit ashamed because of the slogans shouted on the radio.

He understood it completely. No wonder Paimon was so shocked and revived to full health when he heard him say he wanted to find his sister, and almost launched into the sky on the spot.

Not to mention how many years this broadcast has existed, travelers dare not imagine how long they have been the gossip of the people of Teyvat?

Just considering the reward for this bounty, it's no wonder that Paimon was determined to leave the "Eagle Soaring Beach" with the sea breeze as quickly as possible, regardless of anything else.

Even if the sound from the boombox could be received on this beach, it would be blown back, significantly reducing the volume.

A huge reward... Every year the Knights of Favonius would allocate a portion of their funds to provide the only bounty needed to fund the two titled knights, and it would not be taken back if the reward was not completed.

Year after year, it still accumulates into a pretty beautiful number.

Mora’s accumulated funds alone amount to a full 5 billion!

Not to mention, there are all sorts of other treasures.

Even the traveler himself couldn't help but imagine a picture after hearing it -

Ying's face was photoshopped onto Poseidon's head, and one of his arms was cut off: "Do you want my wealth? If you do, I'll give it all to you! Go find him, I've staked everything on him, my brother [Sora]!!!"

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

The rough and arrogant laughter pierced the ears like a devil's sound, echoing in the traveler's head.

It's hard to describe.jpg

"The station broadcasting now is Shero Radio, and the host is one of the two heroes who saved the continent of Teyvat 500 years ago, [Infanta, the Knight of Teyvat]." Paimon slurred his saliva as he thought about the bounty that was rising year by year, and almost revealed his true nature in front of the traveler.

"It is said that Ying was originally the honorary princess of Kanreya. She was awarded the title of [Princess] because she played a key role in a plan to suppress the disaster. But after the disaster broke out, she fell into depression..."

Honorary Princess?

The traveler was a little nervous when he heard this word.

"It wasn't until they met Impas, another hero from Mondstadt, that they regained their spirits. With monsters pouring in continuously and more powerful monsters yet to appear, the two of them worked together to resolve the catastrophe."

——"The narrative style has become very strange."

Paimon laughed sheepishly and scratched his head. "In Teyvat, this is a story passed down orally. I'm just telling it according to tradition. As your guide, this is very necessary."

The traveler nodded and continued...

"Ahem, it's been so long since Impas was born, and there are many different opinions about his title. Some say it's [Knight Cecilia], some say [Knight Wind Flower], and some say [Knight Sweet Flower], but the most recognized one is still——"

——The traveler answered confidently, "Sweet Flower Knight!"

"Wind Flower Knight." Paimon gave the answer.

Traveler: ...

"Haha, Traveler, your answer is in perfect sync with the hero himself!" Paimon said with a soothing smile. "However, based on where these two live, the [Wind Flower Hero Memorial Plaza] is that island group floating in the sky over there."

"Some speculate that Impas's original title was the 'Knight of the Wind Flower'. However, some also refer to him as the 'Knight of Cecilia' to align with Ying's title."

"After all, the Cecilia can be considered Mondstadt's representative flower, right? Hehe."

——"I thought they would choose [Princess Intivat] and [Knight Cecilia]."

Paimon's eyes lit up, and he stamped his feet excitedly. "Traveler, although you haven't experienced it, there was indeed a big discussion in the past about whether Ying should be given the title of Princess or Knight!"

This is also a historic event.

It is known in history as "the great discussion on the issue of knighthood."

Paimon spoke with gesticulation and passion, trying to introduce the content of this great discussion to travelers in a vivid and engaging way.

…

"There's one person here who doesn't have a flower on his hair. Guess who he is?" Three people sat at a table, and Ying raised her chin maliciously.

Wendy pretended to be stupid and smiled foolishly. What was she saying? I didn't understand.

Wendy doesn't know! .jpg

Ying - Wearing the national flower of Kanreya, Yinteivat, a flower that becomes extremely hard when away from its homeland.

Wendy - Diamond's specialty flower, Cecilia, a flower that only grows in high places with strong winds.

“…”

Impas was speechless. How childish! If someone really wanted to play American bullying, they would always find a way to isolate someone. Impas now felt like the only mature person here. Sigh, I never expected that...

"There is someone here who is not from Mond. Guess who she is?" Impas smiled crookedly.

The result is still childish...

After the daily competition, the young parent Albedo appeared.

"Villet wrote that Mondstadt might be unstable recently. The Fontaine disaster hasn't been resolved yet, so they can't leave for the time being. So they reminded us to be careful. Grand Commander Falga has led the expeditionary force to the edge of the world, and there might be a risk of the Abyss infiltrating Mondstadt..."

Impas sucked hard on his handkerchief, wringing it out into a puddle of water. "Busy, everyone, get busy!"

"It almost splashed on my skirt! Clean the carpet yourself, I won't help you!" Ying almost jumped off the chair.

Wendy's pupils dilated. "Let me think... where should I go to steal some wine today?"

Durin, in his Melusin form, sat on the carpet, lost in thought. He held the notebook and looked expectantly at Tevarin. "Beautiful dragon, my dearest brother, please help me. I need to write a letter to my brother that is as poetic as your feathers and that will bring him a feeling as beautiful as yours."

—Durin launched a flashing eye attack at Tevarin.

Tevarin, who was always convinced by the same words and expressions, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep this time, but in fact, his eyelids on the side away from Durin were slightly opened.

He was thinking that if the power of the Abyss infiltrated Mondstadt, it would most likely choose Durin. After all, Durin himself came from the Abyss and gained true life through Rhinedort.

Tevarin was sad.

What the naive Wind Dragon didn't know was that Albedo actually read it specifically for him, and no one else could hear it except him.

Ever since the Melusines were condemned by the Knights of Favonius for swimming in the Wine Lake and taking shortcuts, Villette took great action and took Erinace and his family to seek refuge with his mother.

Of course, not all Melusin moved to Fontaine. A relatively water-friendly part of the Melusin established [Haimo Village] in [Cangjing District].

The other part, who already hold positions in Mond, will be arranged in batches to travel with Navilette to Fontaine, and occasionally bring some Merlucin who have settled in Fontaine back to Mond.

The time to set out from Mond to Fontaine is when the first batch of [loose berries] are ripe;

The time to depart from Fontainebleau and head to Mond is the season when the first batch of [Bubble Oranges] are ripe.

People have been using these two fruits to distinguish the routes of Merushin for many years.

However, it seems that the little bubble oranges will not return to Mond this year.

Tevarin was still caught up in his own emo mood, but he didn't realize that others had already moved on to the next topic.

"What the hell is the Abyss?" Impas asked, slumped in his chair, bored. "Can't we just go outside Teyvat and take a look? What's keeping us here?"

[Gustot] It looks like it only has one eye, so why can't you knock it out no matter how hard you try?

Is Cthulhu coming?

There is no such thing as a thief who steals for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Impas couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

"Besides, why hasn't our next generation of heroes appeared yet?" Impas slammed his hand on the table. "How can there be a crown prince who has lived for five hundred years?"

Ying stretched and breathed a sigh of relief. "Theoretically, I should be the one most anxious about my brother's whereabouts, right? I'm not anxious at all, so why are you?"

"What are you talking about?! We're both invincible, and the expansion pack hasn't even finished updating. Isn't this just like exploring a map 100%, but still missing a few treasure chests?!"

"Look, you're anxious again." Ying spread her hands. "We've done what we need to do. We can't really plow the land of Teyvat, can we?"

Impas was strangely silent. Is that not possible?

Ying continued to ask: "Or do you really want to chop Tianli into fine pieces?"

“…”

Although Tenri's appearance was in line with Impas's aesthetics and he wanted to do so, there were still many character illustrations of Tenli's subordinates that had not been unlocked, let alone those at the same level as her.

Impas: Urgent, urgent, I'm really going to become King Urgent!

"...Anyway, now that things have come to this, let's eat first!"

"I want to eat [Moon Pie]."

"Deer Hunter didn't."

"You are such a cold-hearted person."

"The rain girl has no melons."

…

"Wow—is that him?"

"It seems so."

"It's him, it's him!"

"Do you think I can get the bounty if I take him to the Knights of Favonius now?"

"I've had dreams like this before!"

After entering the city through the city gate, passersby chatted with each other. Travelers were a little envious of them. In their eyes, they were walking Mora...

Travelers also hope to have a lot of money standing by their side!

A familiar voice called out from the back, "Blonde hair, exposed belly, pigtails?"

The traveler, brainwashed by the broadcast, couldn't help but respond, "I'm Brother Kong, remember that."
