Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

The banquet was still going on. Ninglan used the will and flesh and blood of all the banquet guests to launch an evil sacrifice to the Salt God Heulia, while Famas and Pantalone just sat on the high platform, calmly watching everything happen. .

However, the big banker's body was obviously surrounded by a cold atmosphere that kept strangers away, which was in sharp contrast to Ning Lan, who couldn't suppress her smile.

Famas stood up calmly, put his arm on the wooden railing at the edge of the observation deck, and seemed to be looking for someone in the banquet hall until he locked on Tianquanxing, who was holding red wine and had not touched the food.

After confirming that Ning Guang was not affected by his appetite, the young man looked away in surprise, picked up a plate of small cakes from the table, and huddled into the sofa while enjoying it.

In the unknown long night of Liyue Port, the traveler and Zhongli who were about to sneak into the casting workshop were led by Ye Lan in a large circle to the ground entrance and exit on the side of the Black Rock Factory.

This is a very narrow gate, located in the col south of the main peak of Tianheng Mountain, adjacent to Lingju Pass.

There were only two Qianyan soldiers standing guard at the outpost not far from the mountain road, and judging from their equipment and sleepy looks, they probably had lost their vigilance because of the remote position.

Traveler and Paimeng tiptoed along the ridge, while Zhongli strode forward behind Yelan, seemingly not paying attention to the regular defense forces of Black Rock Factory.

"Hey, Yelan, do we really want to walk into the Black Rock Factory in such a big way?"

Paimon quietly flew behind Ye Lan and whispered, but the other party just nodded, raised his index finger to his mouth, signaling the emergency food to keep quiet, then pushed open the dusty small door and raised his hand to let the travelers and others go in first.

After everyone entered the Black Rock Factory, Ye Lan turned around and observed the surroundings, making sure that the two sentries had not noticed them. Then she raised her hand to pull the life-saving thread to the stone door that opened outside, and gently closed the door valve again. .

"The main duty of these two sentries is not to guard this abandoned gate, but to observe possible changes in elemental power at the Spiritual Moment Pass and report in advance on the activities of monsters."

As if she noticed everyone's doubts, Ye Lan narrowed her eyes, retracted her life thread, and walked briskly through the giant mining machine covered with a thin layer of dust. She was obviously very familiar with the Black Rock Factory.

"Thanks to the contribution of an unknown Yaksha, the monsters in Lingju Pass have been eliminated long ago. Naturally, the Qianyan Army monitoring this place has slacked off, and military discipline has been relaxed. Originally, the outpost implemented a single-person rotation system, until the former The war these days... only allowed this place to return to double duty."

Yelan curled her lips in disgust, and seemed to feel that Ningguang's measures to remedy the situation had not yielded much results, so they sneaked into the abandoned factory without any effort.

"I see. Could you please inquire... which force has managed the Golden House in recent years?"

Zhongli stretched out his hand to brush away the dust on the surface of the excavation machinery and suddenly asked.

"According to the provisions of the Liyue Code, all matters related to the Golden House are in principle decided by the Seven Stars, with the Tianquan Star in charge."

Yelan watched Zhongli's movements thoughtfully, as if she thought of something interesting, and her tone changed slightly: "Of course, Mr. Zhongli is knowledgeable and knows these things better than I do."

"The management of the Golden House can basically be regarded as a barometer of the territory of the seven-star forces in the past. There are complicated ways and many checks and balances. I am not familiar with them all. What I know is just to help Ningguang collect intelligence. I heard something in the process.”

"However, in the past decade or so, Yuheng Xingkeqing's family has become quite powerful, and this time the renovation of the Golden House is fully responsible for its family."

Ye Lan meaningfully stopped telling the story and did not reveal more about the matter. She led a few people to twist and turn and came to an iron gate covered with the seal of the General Affairs Department. Through the gap between the iron gates, it could be seen that behind It is the entrance to a deep mine tunnel.The seals were yellowed and brittle due to their age. Without any hesitation, Ye Lan raised her hand to tear off the seals and pushed open the heavy gate that had been closed for a long time.

A large amount of dust fell from the cracks in the door, the rusty hinges made a reluctant creaking sound, and a stale smell hit the face. Even if the traveler stood far away, he still felt choked.

But Ye Lan didn't seem to be affected in any way. She seemed to have been accustomed to this dark environment. She calmly advised the traveler, Paimon and Zhongli:

"This mine has been closed for too long, the environment is complex, and there may be other unknown risks. The support the General Affairs Department can provide is limited. Let me confirm again. If you want to withdraw, it is best to propose it now."

"Hmph, Yelan, don't underestimate the most powerful traveler and the best guide on the Teyvat continent!"

Paimeng raised his chin proudly, thinking that Ye Lan's words were meant for her, but the traveler noticed that Ye Lan's eyes had been staying on Zhong Li beside her, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Of course Zhongli saw the searching look in Ye Lan's eyes and took the initiative to take two steps forward. His demeanor still looked so gentle and elegant in front of the dusty abandoned mine.

"Miss Yelan, don't worry, Zhong is not someone who gives up halfway."

Hearing this, Ye Lan took out the timepiece from her arms with a complicated expression and determined that it was still early before the final time given by Ning Guang. Then she sighed and nodded to the three of them.

"Okay, follow me closely and don't fall behind. We don't have much time."

Yelan led the troops into the mine, followed closely by Traveler and Paimeng, and Zhongli followed behind.

Paimon was originally looking forward to the upcoming adventure, but after going deep into the mine tunnel, his excitement quickly disappeared.

In addition to being abandoned for a long time, this mine tunnel seems to have never been considered for human traffic when it was first excavated. Not to mention lighting, not even a few pieces of glowing moss grew.

The railway sleepers in the mine tunnel have long since decayed, and the space is extremely small. Zhongli and Yelan sometimes have to bend down and move forward slowly.

In the darkness and suffocating silence, Paimon always felt like there was something crawling on the top of her head and behind her neck, which was creepy.

In the darkness, only Ye Lan and Zhong Li's "God's Eyes" emitted a little light of elemental power, which could barely provide some comfort.

"That... Zhongli! And Ye Lan. When the travelers and I were adventuring outside, we heard that all the molas in the world were made by the divine power of the Rock King. But now that the emperor has left, so... ahem... gold The house has been discontinued...right?"

"Besides us, there won't be anyone else here, right?"

Everyone walked on the track that was originally only for mine cars. The surrounding stone walls had a thick layer of ore dust. If they accidentally touched it, it would fall like falling snow and spread throughout the entire passage. middle.

Paimon was choked by the falling dust and coughed repeatedly. He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his small hands before he could barely finish the sentence. (End of chapter)
