Explorer of Teyvat

rice wife,

A merchant ship from Xumi docked at the pier of an outlying island.

The workers on the dock are already used to it.

Since the last time Xumi’s mission came,

The exchanges between Xumi and Inazuma became more frequent.

The people didn't know about the confrontation between Aya Kamisato and Sage Nafish.

But they can clearly feel that their lives have indeed become easier after reestablishing diplomatic relations with Xumi.

The influx of large amounts of low-priced grain from Xumi alleviated Inazuma's food crisis.

Xumi's technical support for Inazuma's many industries has also allowed Inazuma's productivity to begin to increase.

Except for some big businessmen who were affected, everything seemed fine.

Docked steadily at the pier,

A man dressed as a scholar got off the ship and went to see Inazuma's officials at the dock.

Soon, a group of shogunate troops came to pick up the scholar.

Then, an invitation letter was delivered to Kamisato Ayato.

"Xumi has sent an invitation, hoping that we can send people to participate in Xumi's religious ceremony."

Kamisato Ayato put down the invitation and looked up at the two people close to him.

"Ayaka, and Toma, what do you think?"

Next to the main seat, Kamisato Ayaka put away the flower fan, pondered for a moment and then said: "Go, our communication with Sumeru has just begun. Since the other party has invited us, we must go."

Thomas also nodded: "Last time, the master of the house was evil to that master, so it happened that he sent someone to bring some gifts this time."

After hearing the opinions of the two relatives and friends, Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly: "In that case, I will report it to the General."

The letter was sent in the name of the two gods Xumi, so the gods naturally needed to respond.

Of course, the letter was read by Ayato Kamisato before the god saw it. This kind of trivial matter is also normal for Inazuma.

After all, Ayato Kamisato dared to let the rebels enter the castle tower.

Intercepting letters from gods is nothing.

Communicating with the outside world is the duty of the society, isn't it?

"Toma, prepare the carriage and horses, we will go to Inazuma Castle to meet with the General."

"Okay, Master."

Thomas answered and went out to prepare the carriage and horses.

There are only two brothers and sisters left in the society.

Suddenly, Ayato Kamisato looked at Ayaka Kamisato and said, "Do you want to go out for a walk, little sister?"

"Huh? What do you mean, brother?" Linghua was a little confused.

Kamisato Ayato's eyes flashed slightly and he looked in the direction of Inazuma Castle: "Based on what the shogun did before, I'm worried that the shogun will let the people from Kaiji Island go to Sumeru together. In this case, one person will be needed to control it. Looking at them, I think, little sister, you are a very good candidate."

When Ayato said this, Ayaka understood that his brother was worried that people from Kaijijima would take the opportunity to make some deals in Sumeru.

Although peace has now been restored between Kaiji Island and the shogunate, the shogunate does not have many control methods over Kaiji Island. Food and medicine are the biggest means of control.

If Kaiji Island reaches a deal with some people in Sumeru and imports food and medicine directly from Sumeru, then the shogunate's control over Kaiji Island will be further reduced.

Ayaka thought for a moment, thinking of the Sumeru merchant who smuggled arms with their shogunate, and felt that her brother's concerns were completely necessary.

Merchants in Xumi even dare to smuggle arms. How is it possible to smuggle some food and medicine?

"In that case, let me take a trip. I heard that travelers have also gone to Xumi recently. I wonder if there is a chance to meet them." Ayaka agreed to Ayato's request, and her thoughts flew to Ying.

After a while, Toma returned here: "Master, the carriage and horses are ready, we can set off to Inazuma City."

"Okay, I'll come right away." Kamisato Ayato responded, picked up the letter at hand, and stood up.

"Then please prepare my sister. I will propose to the General that my sister be the envoy."

"Okay, brother."

…

at the same time,

Inazuma's Adventurers Association also received a large number of information notifications from the Sumeru Adventurers Association.

The Xumi Order Celebration has extended an invitation to adventurers who have participated in desert adventures, inviting them to participate in the celebration in Xumi.

"Hahahaha, I have been invited again." After receiving the message from the Adventurers Association, Arataki Yidou immediately laughed arrogantly,

Beside him, Kuki-nin looked at the invitation letter in his hand. Their invitation letter was no longer in the name of the gods, but an invitation from the Order Council.

It probably means that the Order has prepared a grand celebration. You are a famous adventurer, so we hope to invite you to participate.

With a disdainful smile on his lips, Jiuqi Ren threw the invitation to the table aside: "Boss, it's just an ordinary invitation. It doesn't deserve to be so happy."

But why would Arataki Yitou care? Anyway, he received the invitation, so he is very good!

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiuqi Ren could tell at a glance that this invitation letter was probably in bulk and was just an invitation without any other additional meaning.

Next to Arataki Ito, other members of the Arataki faction were also congratulating Arataki Ito, and asked him if he could take them with him this time.

Of course, there are happy people like Ichito Arataki, and there are others who don’t want to go after receiving the invitation.

After all, compared to adventure invitations, celebration invitations are indeed less attractive to adventurers.

Walking on the road of Huajianzaka,

Kamisato Ayato observed the discussions of the adventurers around him.

Eyes twinkling slightly,

The Ecclesiastical Council actually sent invitations to ordinary people.

It seems that the changes in the Order Academy are really great.

Before Inazuma went into seclusion, she was also connected with the Koro-in. However, the person in charge of the Koro-in at that time was the great sage Azar. The original Koro-in gave Kamisato Ayato the feeling of being stubborn and rude. And an inexplicable sense of superiority.

But now, both the former Ambassador Nafis and the Sumeru merchant who came to Inazuma recently gave Kamisato Ayato a completely different feeling.

Although he is stubborn, he is not stubborn, he is direct but not rude, and he is proud but not superior.

"Is this the change that God brings to a country?" Kamisato Ayato thought silently, then raised his head and looked at the highest point of Inazuma Castle, the castle tower.

"Sir General, what changes will your will bring to Inazuma?"

With a trace of hope in his heart, Kamisato Ayato led people closer to the castle tower.

"Please tell me, General, that I have something to see you." Arriving in front of the castle tower, Kamisato Ayato said to the guarding Okuki.

The Okukis here are all the personal guards of General Raiden, and Ayato Kamisato is polite to them.

"Yes, Lord Shefengxing." The Okuki crowd responded, and one of them entered the castle tower.

After a while, the Aojie crowd came out and said, "The general is waiting for you. Sir Shefengxing, please come in."

"Thank you." After thanking him, Kamisato Ayato walked into the castle tower.

Inside the castle tower,

General Thunder was sitting on his knees in the center of the room, with a coffee table in front of him and a chessboard on it.

"What's the business of She Fengxing here?"

General Thunder asked.

Kamisato Ayato did not dare to neglect, stepped forward, took out the letter, and sent it to General Raiden.

"The Xumi Order Academy sent an invitation, hoping that we would send people to attend their Order Academy celebration."

General Thunder took the letter and looked at the signs that it had been opened. He didn't care and had no intention of opening the letter to check.

His gaze enveloped Inazuma, and the movements of the Adventurers Association naturally could not be hidden from him.

As soon as Kamisato Ayato talked about the celebration of the Imperial Academy, he knew what was going on.

"It's up to the society to make its own decision on this matter." General Leiden was not interested in these trivial matters.

Kamisato Ayato lowered his head: "This invitation is sent in the name of the two gods Sumeru. I don't dare to make a decision easily."

"Huh?" General Thunderbolt's eyes flashed, he picked up the letter and opened it. Sure enough, the invitation from the Adventurers Association was issued by the Order Academy, and this letter was sent in the name of the twin gods Xumi. .

"Oh, in that case, let's form a mission and send people there. Also, prepare a gift to send together."

If it was an invitation from the Teaching Council, General Raiden would naturally not care, but if it was an invitation from the two gods Xumi, then General Raiden would need to express his gratitude.

Kamisato Ayato still lowered his head: "Okay, General."

"As for the messenger, do you have anyone?"

"My sister-in-law, Ayaka, can be an envoy."

"Okay, then let her go."

General Raiden directly agreed with Kamisato Ayato's recommendation.

A smile appeared on Kamisato Ayato's lips, and then he bowed slightly: "Then my subordinate will go down now."

General Thunder nodded and said nothing.

Ayato Kamisato turned around and left. Just as he was walking to the door, the voice of General Raiden suddenly came from behind him.

However, the voice was softer and lacked the general's usual coldness: "By the way, Ayato, inform Kaijijima and ask them to choose a deputy envoy to accompany them."

Kamisato Ayato turned around and looked at General Raiden who was speaking. The other person's eyes no longer had a cold look, but instead contained a hint of softness. He sighed slightly in his heart, and Kamisato Ayato nodded: "Okay, General, I understand. "

After receiving the order from General Raiden, Kamisato Ayato left the castle tower.

"As expected, do you have two Generals?"

Kamisato Ayato sighed slightly in his heart while ordering people to inform the people on Kaiji Island.

A long time ago, Kamisato Ayato suspected that something was wrong with the General.

After all, there will always be some differences in the attitudes of Thunder General and Thunder Movie towards the outside world.

Ordinary people dare not think too much because of the majesty of General Thunder and Lightning.

But Kamisato Ayato directly suspected that General Raiden had a different will.

Today's test made him more certain that there are two Thunder Generals!

On the other side, in the castle tower, General Raiden said with a cold expression: "He is testing us."

In the Pure Land of Isshin, Raikage opened his eyes: "It doesn't matter. Although Kamisato Ayato does not respect the gods, his concern for Ina Wife is genuine. That child just didn't feel safe when he was a child, so he is so sensitive."

In fact, Lei Movie knows everything,

Regarding Kamisato Ayato letting the rebels enter the castle tower,

Kamisato Ayato tested Him many times,

Thunder Movie knows this and understands why.

But Raikage, who has changed his governing philosophy, does not want to punish Kamisato Ayato.

As long as he is doing it for his wife, what's the harm in being disrespectful?

"It's good if you know." General Leiden's will said coldly, and then fell into silence.

——

Mondstadt,

Three men dressed as foreigners approached the city of Mondstadt.

Nowadays, Mondstadt is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, giving you a lively festive atmosphere.

"Collet, go find Amber, or come with us to the Knights of the West Wind?"

Tinari looked at his apprentice.

"Eh, ah? I, I'll come with the master and you guys." Although she had secretly come back to Mondstadt before, this time her master and Master Seno accompanied her to Mondstadt, and she was too embarrassed to go and play with Amber by herself. .

He could see his apprentice's embarrassment, but Tinari didn't say anything more and just nodded: "Then let's get together."

On the side, Seno looked at the huge windmill in Mondstadt. His eyes lit up and he was about to speak.

Tinari quickly blocked his mouth: "Please, Seno, Xumi's face will be humiliated by you."

After blocking Seno's mouth, Tinari and Cole quickly rushed to the Knights building, fearing that Seno would tell that terrible joke.

Seeing Tinari and Kelai running away, Seno curled his lips, a guy who doesn't understand humor.

Then he quickly followed.

Knights Building,

It’s already the Wind Flower Festival,

There are far fewer people coming to the Knights for business, and only scattered people come and go here.

When Kelai and the other three came here,

I happened to meet a few figures coming from the other side.

"That's Amber!" Kelai recognized his best friend and life mentor at a glance.

On the other side, Amber also saw Kelai: "Ahhhh, Kelai, Kelai!"

Two figures, one red and one green, rushed out of their respective teams and hugged each other.

"Ke Lai, why didn't you inform me in advance when you came to Mondstadt?" Amber hugged Ke Lai and rubbed her little face against Ke Lai's cheek.

Kelai's face turned red, and he said awkwardly: "I, I have grown up, and Master Tinari and Master Seno are with me."

"Oh, that's it. Are you here to participate in the Wind Flower Festival?"

"Hmm, Master and Master Seno came with me. They came by the way to deliver a message to the Knights."

During the conversation, Amber let go of the nervous Kelai and looked at Tinari and Seno: "Master Tinari and Lord Seno, good afternoon."

"You're welcome, we are going to the Knights to deliver a message, do you want to come with us?" Tinari saw that Amber and his party were also going to the Knights.

Amber nodded: "Yeah, we just returned from patrol and were about to go to the Knights to report to Captain Qin."

Behind Amber, the knight she had left behind also came over.

"Hey, Kelai, long time no see."

"Yura, long time no see."

The tall female knight greeted Kelai. As Amber's friend, Yora naturally knew Kelai.

Next to Yura, there is Noelle, the maid of the Knights, and a little loli, Koli.

Everyone introduced each other and then walked into the Knights Building together.

When I came to Qin's office, someone was already here to communicate with Qin.

When she saw the people in the office, Xiao Keli rushed over first: "Brother Abedo."

Holding the blond boy's thigh, Keli shook it.

Abedo bent down, picked up Keli, nodded to everyone who came in, and then continued to talk to Qin: "I have prepared the alchemy tools for the Wind Flower Festival. Captain Qin can ask Timaeus to get it at any time. ."

Qin nodded: "Okay, thank you."

Then he looked at the people who came in, and then his eyes stayed on the three people of Xumi: "This is Ke Lai? What about these two?"

Qin was not familiar with Kelai, she just knew him and recognized him, but she really didn't know Tinari and Seno.

"Hello, I am Tinari, the ranger of the Xumi Order. This time I am accompanying Kelai to participate in the Wind Flower Festival." Tinari stepped forward and introduced, "This is Seno , is also the Disciplinary Officer of the Teaching Order, and is our partner in the journey."

"Oh, welcome to the two Sumeru friends. May the God of Wind protect you." A hint of understanding flashed in Qin's eyes, and then he blessed.

Tinari nodded: "Thank you for your blessing, we also brought an invitation from my god and the Lord of Red Sand."

On the edge, Seno touched his waist, and a luxurious letter appeared in his hand, and then handed it to Qin.

An invitation from the Little Lucky Grass King and the Red Sand Lord?

Qin's eyes were a little curious, then she took the letter, opened it and read it.

Then he handed the letter in his hand to Albedo on the side.

Abedo took the letter. Although he didn't know why Qin gave it to him, he still read it. In Abedo's arms, little Keli stretched her neck to see what was written on it.

After a brief browse,

Abedo understood what Qin meant and nodded with a smile: "Since it is an invitation from the God of Grass and the Lord of Red Sand, then let me lead the team."

After Qin saw the contents of the invitation letter, her first reaction was to ask Abedo to take the people there.

After all, Abedo is more familiar with Xumi and has stayed there many times.

In Abedo's arms, little Keli's eyes lit up: "Oh oh oh, Keli is going too, Keli is going too, Xumi, the desert, Keli likes the desert."

The little guy was extremely happy when he recalled the days when he was pampered in the desert.

If you want to fry fish, you can fry fish, you can do whatever you want,

That was Keli's happiest day.

Ignoring the little guy's cry, Qin nodded to Abedo: "Then I'll trouble you."

"It's not a troublesome thing. Since it's a celebration, it can be treated as a vacation." Albedo smiled, "It just so happens that my next step of research also requires going to the desert to use some auxiliary means."

Regarding the experiment of element sublimation, Albedo has done a lot of basic research, and now he is going to the desert to use the void to conduct the final simulation of the experiment.

Beside, Seno and Tinari looked at Albedo,

Tinari was a little curious about Abedo’s identity.

Seno frowned slightly. He had seen Nicored's photo, and the person in front of him was obviously not the great alchemist of Red Sand, but he really seemed to be exactly the same.

Behind the desk, Qin nodded slightly: "That's it, I'll ask someone to prepare a gift, and then select some knights to go with you as envoys."

After talking about Xumi, Qin looked at Amber and others: "What are you doing?"

Youla took a step forward: "Captain Qin, you asked us to go on patrol, have you forgotten?"

Qin slapped her forehead, then shook her head: "Sorry, I was a little too busy. How's it going? There are no problems nearby."

"There are several Qiuqiu camps and we have cleared them out."

"That's good. We must ensure that the Wind Flower Festival activities proceed normally."

"Don't worry, Captain Qin."

The group of people explained their work to Qin, and then left Qin's office together.

Everyone saw how tired Qin was and deliberately gave Qin some room to rest.

Out of the Knights,

Abedo looked at the Xumi trio,

"Guys, if you don't mind, you can go live with me first."

Tinari and Seno looked at each other, wondering why Albedo would extend the invitation.

Abedo seemed to know their doubts and said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with the Lord of Red Sand. We are considered good friends. If you come to Mondstadt, I will naturally receive you."

Tinari and Seno were stunned, and then felt a little embarrassed. How could there be friends of the Lord of Red Sand everywhere?

However, they did not refuse Abedo's kindness. Since they have a place to live, then living there is not just a place to live.

So, Kelai was taken away by Amber,

Tinari and Seno followed Abedo to his residence,

Of course, it is not the Knights' dormitory. As the chief alchemist, Albedo still has other residences in Mondstadt.
