Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 501 Please look for me among the stars

Astrologers on the continent of Teyvat generally believe that the "Seat of Fate" is the reflection of the destiny of the holder of the Eye of God on the starry sky. Everything in the past, present and future is revealed in it.

But in fact, the destiny revealed in the starry sky is not just for the small group of holders of the Eye of God, but covers all living beings on the continent of Teyvat.

The star stream is as vast as the sea, catching countless displaced tears of mortals at the end of time, and then pushing their endless sorrows, joys, and hatreds to the end until no one knows them anymore.

But now among the bright stars in the sky, the long-extinguished destiny star that symbolizes "salt" once again shines with dazzling light, causing other stars around the sky to temporarily change their trajectories and avoid the sharp edge.

Tonight's star changes in Teyvat Continent are a major blow comparable to "redrawing the star map" for some scholars of the Myungron sect of the Sumeru Order.

Because the stars they studied in their thesis were too close to Heulia's destiny star, these scholars had to re-plan the direction of their thesis due to the influence of astrological changes, and all the star maps they had spent months or even years working on were in vain.

Tonight, countless scholars from the Myungron sect who were observing the stars knelt down and wailed in disbelief. Scholars from other sects who happened to pass by the stargazing station could not help but feel:

"These guys who study the stars are really crazy."

Putting aside Heulia's influence on Sumeru scholars, when Zhongli saw clearly the figure in the center of the banquet hall that was the same as a thousand years ago, he actually felt dazed for a moment, and then walked forward in a state of shock and doubt. In two steps, he blurted out:

"……This is impossible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli suddenly stopped and quickly returned to his usual calm and steady appearance. He stared at Heulia with his scrutinizing golden eyes, as if considering some possibility.

Heulia's face on the booth was cold, with helplessness and gentleness in her silver eyes. Her long gray hair was tied into a low ponytail with a rose-colored hairpin at the back of her neck. Her sleeves were decorated with crystal patterns like salt flowers. The pure white long skirt is gorgeous but of an extremely old style. Hidden under the skirt are shoes woven with ivy and leather.

Even though her beloved child once inserted a sword blade into her heart, even though the priest she believed in whispered a tune of betrayal amidst the noise of the white cloth, the resentment, anger, disappointment, and pain have all melted and disappeared. In the splendid and snowy salt countryside.

Salt has been reconstructed with love and kindness. The gray-white salt crystals falling from the air adhere to the walls and tableware of the banquet hall. The originally magnificent hall seems to be covered in the dust left by thousands of years in an instant.

Everyone seemed to have not recovered from the shock of being blocked by Famas. Paimon, who was hiding behind the traveler, stuck his head out. After seeing the scene in the venue clearly, he suddenly opened his eyes and pointed at the booth with his hand. Direction exclaimed.

"Hey! Zhongli! Could it be that she is..."

"The Demon God of Salt...Heulia."

The person who answered was Ning Guang, who frowned and had a stern expression. A bright rock light suddenly flashed from her side, and her body gradually became suspended in the air. Ke Qing, who was originally escorting the criminal, was now pointing at the center of the booth with the Kaufeng Blade, and the power of the thunder element surged. ; Gan Yu, who arrived first and then arrived, stood beside the big hole blasted by the final machine, clasped his hands together and summoned the Ice Spirit Bead, shocking Xiaoxiao everywhere.

At the same time, the Qianyan Army in the banquet hall temporarily put down the suppressed prisoners, and moved quickly with sharp axes in hand, forming a siege on the main booth.

The Liyue forces headed by Qixing all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. Yelan, who was supposed to leave the scene in the chaos, was also shocked by the sudden change of the situation. After thinking about it for a moment, Youke, who was hiding in the corner, decided not to move, but his attention But he did not stay on Heulia like everyone else, but quietly observed the reactions of Pantalone and Famas.

After witnessing Heulia's resurrection, Pantalone leaned on the railing and squinted her eyes. She didn't seem too surprised. The incense on the table raised smoke. The banker's temperament was as light as smoke. It's also ordinary, and there is nothing wrong with sitting there without showing off anything.

"Pantarone, is this also part of your experimental plan?"

Famas had obviously anticipated Heulia's appearance, and even turned his head with interest, asking the banker next to him for his opinion. On the young man's clean and soft white earlobe, a warm red earring swayed in the dim light, emitting a faint light.

"There is no such process in the plan, not even in the doctor's emergency plan... but you seem to have expected this?" Pantalone raised his chin slightly, looked over from the seat, and scanned every detail carefully. A blind spot.

"What a pity. It seems that Miss Ninglan found one of the few ways to survive in a dead situation."

The great banker was not afraid of Heulia's identity as a demon. He raised his hand to catch the falling salt cluster, rubbed it a little, and then let the dust fall through his fingers.

"Pantarone, do you really want to put Miss Ninglan to death?"

"After all, she is also the partner of the Fools. If the story of plotting to kill her collaborators gets spread, the already bad reputation of the Fools will only be worsened..."

Famas said casually, as if he suddenly thought of something, his voice gradually lowered, followed by a not too long silence. The moonlight passed through the skylight of the banquet hall, and swirling salt dust appeared in the air.

After a few more seconds, as if it would be rude not to speak, Pantalone turned her head and glanced at Famas, holding the railing with one hand and smiling lightly:

"When have the Fools ever murdered a collaborator? It's obvious to everyone in the banquet hall that I'm just introducing new friends to them... weren't you the one who threw the cane at Ning Lan?"

Pantalone said it matter-of-factly, without any pause in her tone, as if similar words had been lingering over her for thousands of times.

Famas was not angry after hearing this, and his expression did not even change much. He just observed the situation in the venue with an almost indifferent attitude, with indescribable emotions in his eyes, which seemed to contain sarcasm, tolerance, pity and appreciation at the same time.

"Fuguier, listen to my advice. Zhongli likes executives who are straightforward and look silly. You are so cunning. It is difficult to make him feel a sense of accomplishment when chatting."

"...Besides, what I threw out was your cane with the emblem of the Fools on it."

Silence returned, only this time it was Pantalone who remained silent.

And Heulia, who caused the current situation, still stood calmly in the center of the banquet hall, calmly accepting the different looks from all sides. She lowered her eyebrows and chin, and smoothed the few strands of hair that hung down to the side of her face to her ears. Finally, he stretched out his left hand to hold the unconscious Ninglan in his arms, as if he wanted to gather her soul, which was sinking like a pile of sand.

At this time, everyone in the banquet hall discovered that Heulia's right arm that was hidden behind her had completely disappeared, replaced by fine grains of salt that kept falling from the break of her sleeve.

For Zhongli's sake, Famas tried his best to control the force of his attack to avoid affecting the innocent Qianyan Army soldiers. However, even the demon god of similar stature was unwilling to hit the attack thrown by the God of War head-on. It is even more dangerous for the weak Heulia.

An arm was exchanged for the child's life. In Heulia's opinion, this was already a good result.

Burnt by the flames and sticky with salt, Ning Lan in Heulia's arms looked dazed and confused, as if she had an unreal feeling when the brain's self-protection mechanism was activated after being overstimulated.

After realizing her situation, the God's Eye on Ninglan's thigh began to glow with a faint light. As if she was afraid that the scene in front of her would dissipate like a dream, Ninglan called out in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible:

"Mother?"
