Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Liyue is the oldest port city on the mainland of Teyvat, and its residents are known for their hard work. Most merchants in the port area will cooperate with the dock ferry schedule and only close after the last cargo ship leaves the port at midnight.

But today is obviously different from the past. Before the evening, when the orange-red sunset that filled the sky has not completely faded, most of the businesses in Chihuyan closed their shops early, hung up the "Closed Today" signs, and went there with their families. There are altars located at Liyue Port South Wharf, Tianheng Mountain, Yujingtai Yiyan Hall and other places for worshiping nearby.

Different from the celebrities and dignitaries who were currently dressed up and gathered at the Golden House dinner, most of these ordinary Liyue Harbor residents carried tributes and lanterns, filed out of the shops, pubs, hotels and houses on the street, and took to the streets spontaneously.

The sparks along the street gradually converged into a long dragon with swaying lights, adding a little warmth to the cold winter night in Yangang. The dim candlelight from the paper lanterns in people's hands was like a silk veil, covering the hazy harbor city. On the night face.

Just because tomorrow's twilight hour will be the ceremony of sending immortals to the rock god Morax.

Emperor Yanwang, who had been in charge of the government of Liyue for more than 3,700 years, passed away due to fighting against the evil disaster. The whole country in Liyue mourned. Countless people rushed to the Yiyan Palace since midnight tonight to express their condolences. Residents living in the suburbs and the government officials The soldiers of the Qianyan Army in Yanjuyuan came to pay their respects in front of the statues of the Seven Heavens Gods in each area.

The crowds of people who were rubbing shoulders might stand there for a long time, some might be at a loss, or some might knock their heads on the ground and weep silently, and then linger around for a long time, unwilling to leave.

But what the people didn't know was that the countless emotions and strong will they burst out gathered into a torrent in the air.

And this torrent formed by the wishes of the people of Liyue is [Faith].

According to the research of wise men, magicians and alchemists of all ages on the continent of Teyvat, faith is an intangible and insubstantial thing. Only the seven earthly rulers and their godhead can be stored and transformed, otherwise they will be lost and dissipated in the vast starry sky over time. middle.

It's a pity that this torrent seems to have a new direction now, with countless branches flowing towards the foothills of Tianheng Mountain to the north of Liyue, finally pouring into the Golden House Banquet Hall, and pouring into Ning Lan's body above the main booth.

The excess emotions contained in the torrent of faith are far beyond the capacity of the human spirit, and Ninglan is naturally no exception. However, the "Hive Machine" provided by the Fools allows her to borrow the consciousness of other badge holders and temporarily usurp what originally belonged to the gods. Authority uses itself as a temporary container to store these surging powers of faith.

Although Pantalone calls these badges "Wish Control" or "Hive Machinery", they are only experimental products after all and cannot yet achieve "swarm consciousness" in the true sense, that is, they cannot connect the consciousnesses of all individuals wearing the badges. Communication, sharing the same brain.

But the function of temporarily occupying other people's will is enough to cope with everything here. As the badge begins to output its maximum power, Ningguang feels a splitting headache and almost nausea, as if he has inhaled hot sparks in front of a high-temperature furnace. The scenery in front of him They all had double shadows, and everything they could see was dyed bright red by the flames.

The Xingxuan surrounding Ningguang immediately shattered. Seeing the pain in the opponent's face, Keqing quickly sheathed her sword and retreated to her side. The Qianyan Army soldiers led by Youxu also dispersed the encirclement and guarded Ningguang's side.

"Ningguang, cheer up!"

Keqing raised her hand to support Ningguang, trying to do something to ease the other person's pain, but it was obviously to no avail.

The angry Yu Hengxing pointed his sword at Ning Lan, and when he was about to ask questions, he found that the air was filled with strange haze, as if many emotions, memories and experiences were intertwined and overflowed.

The Liyue dignitaries who were originally suppressed by the Qianyan Army ignored the warnings of the soldiers and stood facing Ninglan's direction as if they had lost their sense of self. They clasped their hands together and held them in front of their chests with a pious look on their faces.

Ke Qing was shocked to realize that the chaotic elemental force pervading this place had begun to affect the surge of earth veins, forming new earth vein nodes. Faith is an intangible and insubstantial thing, but at that moment, Keqing felt as if she was in a sea of ​​people, stirring up the joys, sorrows, and joys of countless people.

The stars are shining brightly tonight, cutting across everything. Against its background, all the stars in Taixu appear dim.

"How unreasonable..."

Without having time to think about why she and the many Qianyan troops were not affected, Keqing gritted her teeth, knowing that it was better to capture the thief first than the king, so she charged towards Ninglan again with her sword in hand.

In the misty haze, only a shadow like light and electricity could be seen, speeding along with the sparks of lightning and thunder, and the Kaifeng Blade in the girl's hand seemed to sense the power of faith permeating the air, and lit up with a dazzling light.

The next moment, a violent explosion swept through the booth, shaking the sky and hitting the ground, deafening. The shock wave of the explosion almost knocked over the Qianyan Army under the booth.

Youxu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and hurriedly looked towards the stage. He saw the thunder flames extinguished and the smoke dissipated. The first thing that came into view was Ke Qing's back. She stood with a sword in her hand and a dignified posture.

The rock elemental shield erected in front of Ninglan flickered twice, and then shattered.

Among the elemental particles splashing like liquid gold, Ning Lan first showed a look of surprise, then stared coldly at the black gold sword in Ke Qing's hand, and suddenly spoke inexplicably:

"Gong Ming, why are you still hiding? Do you think you need me to help you with your housework?"

"Hahaha... Miss Ninglan, thank you for your mercy. Leave the rest to me."

Familiar laughter came from the stairs leading to the viewing seats of the Golden House. A middle-aged man wearing a dark brocade robe and a beer belly raised his hand to twist the beard on his lips and walked leisurely to Ning Lan.

"Aqing, put down your weapons. Miss Ninglan and Yinyuan Hall are our partners...how can we use our swords against the future high priest of Liyue?"

Gong Ming ignored Ke Qing's extremely sad expression, and there was not much threat in his words. He seemed to be just stating a simple fact.

But the other party's words were no less than a bolt from the blue to Keqing.

Although Ye Lan had already warned Ke Qing when they were in the underground casting workshop that her family might also be one of the masterminds of the Yin Yuan Hall's god-making plan, but in the absence of concrete evidence, Yu Hengxing still harbored suspicions about Ye Lan. The speculation is skeptical.

But now Gong Ming appeared at the scene of the rebellion, and even admitted his cooperative relationship with Ning Lan without any scruples.

"Uncle Gongming, is this your idea...or is it the decision of the entire family?"

Keqing's mind was filled with anger and disbelief. How could those usually amiable family elders dare to commit such a heinous crime so blatantly. (End of chapter)
