Chapter 53 Summoning.
As Kong was stunned for a moment, the barrage of messages exploded.
"Isn't this the little dog that followed Yiran in the antique shop before?"
"This is out of the blue! Is it really a dog??"
"No, isn't that an Abyss Beast Dog?"
"It looks different from other beast dogs. Although it's a little smaller, it's obviously more handsome and more domineering!"
"Aaaaah, I thought the character who was in charge of welcoming guests at Teiqing Pavilion was so handsome and well-behaved, so why didn't he have any role afterwards? I want to smoke!!"
"Forget about it. Even someone like Ichiran Baishu who has interacted with us many times doesn't have a character or a real machine, not to mention this little dog who hasn't even spoken to us."
"Isn't the point that he is actually a monster of the abyss, and can also transform into a human?"
"Isn't the point that he captured Paimon?"
"Isn't the point that he is actually colluding with the Fools, and he is also a member of the Imperial Green Pavilion, obviously he has a close relationship with Yiran!!"
"Paimon said he would return it, but the identity of the monster is more unexpected."
"You were so handsome just now! You subdued the young master with just one swing of the sword."
"I'm angry after all."
"Poor Dada Duck's only purpose is to be used as a hostage in exchange for Paimon."
"Tardalia's Demon King Armor is so cool too. Oh my god, can all the Fatui Executives transform?!"
"so……"
"So why is the person in charge of Yiran's store related to the Fools?! And judging from the atmosphere between them the last time they met, it's obvious that they have a good relationship."
"It's so well hidden. Maybe the other party is really good at acting. It's possible that the president didn't notice it at all."
"Personally, I don't believe that the president is so smart that he can't notice anything wrong. He either acquiesces and does nothing, or he is plotting something. It is possible that this has something to do with the fools."
"My back feels cold."
"But if you think about it carefully, there are many mysterious things about Yi Ran, such as his brother Yi Bai who is related to the Abyss Cult, the unknown radish that is often inexplicable, and the active timeline that is similar to Sora's arrival in Liyue..."
"Yes, you will know after talking to the NPCs. The recent changes in both the Songlan Merchant Guild and Liyue have only occurred in the past month. I don't believe that this is not a foreshadowing. Otherwise, there is no need to create the image of a merchant like this. It would be better to create a great merchant like Ningguang who has been rooted in Liyue for many years and has always been a rival and has a profound influence."
"Well, to be honest, even though it's only been a month, it seems like the competition has already had a profound impact on the business."
"Well……"
After bidding farewell to Zhongli, Yiran had already left Dihuazhou. He looked at the chaotic and conflicting comments on the screen and the sporadic energy that kept floating in and smiled slightly.
He raised his fingers and touched the light blue fluorescence that was wrapped around his fingertips and could not be seen by others.
Who said that the cards he was dealt were so amazing that he could play them any way he wanted...
The seed of doubt has been planted. Will it be buried by countless expressions or break out of the ground? Let him wait and see.
On the other side, ignoring Kong's astonishment and the scattered thoughts of the players behind him, Finn let go of Paimon Kong, and considerately grabbed the back of her collar when she fell to help her stabilize the magnetic suspension, and then walked into the center of the battlefield.
In Paimon's dazed sight, Fincher clenched his fingers into claws, and dark golden light danced along his fingertips.
Sora also reacted and quickly released the sword that was pressing against Tartaglia's neck, preparing to fight.
The power of the abyss seemed to be a natural gift that monsters were born with, forcing Sora to fight while paying attention to his own condition.
A dark brown aura filled the surroundings of the young man. Rock snakes with wolf heads gathered in his palm, swimming and rushing towards the air.
This aerial fight was extremely difficult. Fenric did not have the martial ethics of Tartaglia. He was not aware of the physical exhaustion of wheeled combat. If the Golden House could not accommodate them all, he might even choose to summon a large number of his Orc hound minions for an unreasonable group fight.
Even though Bai's request was just: "Let Tartaglia take Fenrico with him when he fights Sora."
It seems that it can be understood that just bring Finnish Detective and give him a chance to play, but Finnish Detective still automatically translates the task into requiring a fight with Sora himself.
Even because the human body has some limitations that are not conducive to the full display of strength, after a few rounds of confrontation, he chose to change back to his original form and fight in the air with a body that is many times larger than that of an ordinary monster.
...Sora took a deep breath and grasped the claw marks on his right arm that were emitting black energy. The abyss power gushing out of the claws of the young man in human form was already difficult to deal with. Now that the opponent has changed back to this form, can he still defeat him?
"...You can transform too??"
“I really can’t win! Ahhhhh I’m out of blood!”
"This is really not a plot kill? You tell me this is not a plot kill?"
"I didn't lock my teammates when I was fighting Childe. Now even if you restore Sora's health to full, I still can't defeat such a big boss! (crying)"
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have called you a puppy."
"What a big bleeding dog (shocked)"
"The title is written on the health bar: King of the Wolves in the Beast Realm - Golden King Beast."
"The leader of the bloody dogs? He's kind of handsome."
"This color scheme is really suitable when compared with the Finn's figure."
"No wonder I always felt that this character had a murderous and inhuman aura despite the light gold eyes that looked gentle and cold."
"Stop talking about this. How do I fight this? Why am I still losing blood bit by bit!!"
"No wonder we need to lock the Rock Lord, otherwise we won't be able to defeat the summoned dog heads..."
Facts have proved that there is a reason why so many people hate the bleeding dog. It can't do any damage without a nurse, not to mention that the CD of the Geo Lord's skill alone is enough to break the shield of the Beast Dog Head summoned by Fenrir, which is a bit harsh.
The abnormally ferocious Kong frowned and panted as he looked at the king beast in front of him, who still looked full of energy and was ready to swing his tail to sweep up the rock wind.
He closed his eyes. His physical strength had been overdrawn to the limit. Sweat slowly slid down his temples. He was ready to endure the final blow that could seriously injure him.
Paimon's heart, which had just recovered, suddenly stopped beating again, and was even flying towards this side: "Sora!!"
Seeing that the human in front of him no longer dodged, Fenric's pupils shrank, and the waving of his tail became slower and slower, and finally stopped at the side of Kong in a hurry, and the tip of the tail wrapped around Kong's body by inertia.
The huge beast paused and let out a puzzled howl:
"Oh?"
"Huh..." Paimon patted his chest and panted, then stopped not far away in the air: "I'm scared to death..."
They had fought so many monsters from Teyvat and monsters from the abyss, but they never thought that there would be monsters that would really care about the injuries and life and death of humans.
Finn loosened his tail and transformed back into human form.
He thought silently. In fact, if Yiran had not given him the correct cognition belonging to humans, even if he pierced the opponent's body with his tail, he would still not be aware of the opponent's pain, nor would he realize when to stop. Instead, he would feel that he was singing, playing, and dancing with humans from beginning to end.
There was no pain as expected, only the feeling of cold scales scratching his body. Sora gradually opened his eyes and looked into the eyes of the boy in front of him.
Having survived the disaster, he smiled helplessly and fulfilled the conditions proposed by Finn before the fight. In fact, if the other party had not attacked him for a disagreement, he would not have told him the truth as long as Paimon was released.
After all, his intelligence was not some precise secret that he was told not to reveal.
"As for the Ancestral Dharma, all we know is that it is now being kept by an immortal who has had contact with the Seven Stars..."
"Sage..." Dadalia asked.
I never thought that the Immortal would actually cooperate with Qixing.
Tartaglia narrowed his eyes and thought. Was this the information that interrupted him at that time?
etc.
"Then why did you come to the Golden House?" Dadalia asked Sora.
"How dare you ask! I heard that you fools are going to summon in the Golden House..."
Paimon put his hands on his hips and was halfway through accusing someone when Sora, who also had a frown on his face, pulled him into his arms.
"Summoning...ha."
Tartaglia laughed. It seemed that Sora was also fooled by his good colleague.
Oh, it can’t be said that he lied. Kong did come to the Golden House, and he did know the whereabouts of his ancestor Fafei, and he did want to summon the long-sleeping demon in the Golden House.
He had an amused look on his face. From what Kong said, he thought that the immortal was most likely his good colleague. After all, in his impression, only Yiran had had close contact with the Seven Stars on the day of the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, and he was arrested and released on his own very quickly.
If it was him, since he had adjusted the power of the talisman for himself, wasn't it obvious that he wanted him to use it? Wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't use it?
If that immortal was not him, then he would have to snatch things from an immortal who he did not know where or who he was. That would be too troublesome. Maybe... he could only use some tricks.
…
Countless talismans floated up silently, surrounding Dadalia's body and emitting a strange aura.
He stepped back and smiled.
"Since everyone is looking forward to me waking it up, I can't let them down."
The young master sighed, "I really don't understand those people who are more cunning than each other and always like to take eighteen detours to achieve their goals. How can a straightforward battle bring happiness to people?"
Kong frowned even tighter, but he was already exhausted and had no strength to stop this scene.
Paimeng's eyes widened: "It's the Unrestricted Talisman!"
"But now that it has come to this, for the sake of Her Majesty, I have no choice but to stir up more trouble. Come, let me see how the immortals of Liyue, the Seven Stars, and even you will deal with this devastating disaster without the Rock God?"
He curled his lips, opened his arms, and let the power of the talisman spread throughout the world. Finally, he looked at the sky, stomped hard on the floor, turned into lightning, and left the golden house.
Finric looked at Sora, then at Tartaglia who had left him alone, and felt that now was not a good time to make friends, so he remembered Yiran's teachings on interpersonal relationships and said politely, "See you next time."
Then he turned around and dived into the space.
After a half-second of silence, Kong pulled Paimeng up, weakly supporting his slowly recovering body, and said, "Let's go..."
Liyue, perhaps things are really going to start to change.
