Explorer of Teyvat

Port of Ormos,

Blonde traveler walking down the street with his white hair float,

"Ah, although Mondstadt is also fun, when it comes to ease, Sumeru is the easiest."

Paimon stretched his body, dissipating the fatigue from working hard in Mondstadt.

Ying also stretched slightly,

Mondstadt's Wind and Flower Festival, we agreed to go there to celebrate the festival,

The result is another journey to become a wage earner.

First, he helped with a lot of preparations for the Wind Flower Festival, and then he and Qin presented wind flowers to the God of Wind.

Then he accompanied the Lawrence family to the snowy mountains, half monitoring and half taking care of them.

When Mondstadt's affairs are over,

He was pulled by Wang Daoyi non-stop to help the wanderer regain his memory.

Another busy and non-stop experience,

But fortunately, after the homeless incident is over,

Ying finally had time to rest during her journey.

After visiting new and old friends in various places,

Finally, Ying and Paimon set foot on the land of Port Ormos again.

"The Port of Olmos was very busy last time I came to it, so let's go for a nice stroll this time."

Paimon flew beside Ying, talking happily.

Usually during this kind of play time, Ying would take her to eat delicious food.

So Paimon likes this kind of play.

Ying nodded: "Okay."

After being busy for so long, she wanted to have some fun.

So, the two of them walked through the streets of Port Olmos,

Buy some snacks from time to time and watch the roadside performances with the crowd.

He really looked like an ordinary tourist.

roadside,

A scholar dressed as an official watched Ying and Paimon pass by him.

His eyes lit up, and then he looked at the two people,

The white-haired talking elf!

Blonde traveler!

The scholar did not hesitate and subconsciously called Ying and Paimon.

"Two, two, please wait!"

Hear the shouts,

Ying stopped and turned to look at the shouting scholar,

Paimon also tilted his head slightly: "Who are you?"

The scholar took two hurried steps and came to the two of them: "Hello, I am Masroor, the postal officer of Omos Port, responsible for managing all kinds of mails. Are you the blond man who is traveling to various countries? Traveler, right?"

Ying nodded: "It's me."

Paimon, on the other hand, looked at the person in front of him: "What do you want from us?"

"Great, I finally found you." Masroor said with excitement and a sense of relief on his face, "There is a foreigner who took advantage of a loophole in our mailing system and got the [letter must be delivered] After promising, I filled in a very vague address.”

Listening to Masroor's words, Paimon nodded in agreement: "It is indeed quite difficult to send us letters. After all, we have been traveling around and seldom go to the mailbox. Moreover, people who usually contact us Everyone will entrust it to Catherine."

Ying and Paimon can be considered homeless.

Although there are places to stay in various places, there is really no exact address where you can send letters.

Normally, the best way for others to contact them is to leave messages through the Adventurers Association, a multinational organization.

After all, the Adventurers Association is also an important source of Ying's travel funds. She will always go to the Adventurers Association every now and then. In this way, the success rate of delivering information is much higher than sending letters.

Then Paimon asked with a hint of curiosity, "What is the address that guy filled in?"

Masroor glanced at Paimon, and then said with some embarrassment: "Uh...he wrote, [next to a talking white-haired elf]."

Paimon:? ? ? ?

The little face went from being playful to angry: "Uuuuuuuuah, damn it, am I the one who has the address?"

"Well, I mean, this vague address is just making things difficult for us, and if the letter can't be delivered, we have to compensate him for a sum of money."

Masroor said angrily, but quickly recovered his smile, "Fortunately, luck is on my side and I found you."

Ying smiled, and she became interested in the person who sent the letter.

"Then please give me the letter. I also want to see who sent the letter."

Masroor: "Okay, okay, I just happened to have a letter, please keep it."

Ying took the letter and opened it directly without thinking too much.

Familiar handwriting appears on the paper,

【It’s been a long time since we last seen each other. How are you doing?

I heard that you two are traveling in Xumi, and I happened to come to the port of Ormos on a business trip.

These days, I go to the Diafa Hotel for a drink every afternoon.

If I'm lucky enough...

This letter can be mailed to you

Come and talk to me about old times.

The right is destiny.

-Your faithful old friend Kaia】

"Kaia! It turns out he came to Sumeru. Speaking of which, when Yora caused such a big fuss in Mondstadt, I didn't even see him." Paimon said, shaking his head.

Ying smiled and put away the letter: "The scheming foreign gentleman does seem to be Kaia's handiwork."

Paimon curled his lips: "Judging from the content of the letter, he didn't expect the letter to be delivered."

Then he waved his finger and complained: "Or, if this letter is delivered, it will be fate."

Ying smiled and nodded: "The letter is full of calculations. It is indeed something Kaiya would do. It's okay, just think of it as meeting an old friend."

"Okay, then, let's go to the Diafa Hotel!" Paimon waved his hand happily.

…

Diafa Hotel,

One of the best hotels in Port Ormos,

Most of the traveling businessmen and tourists will stay here.

Among them, Kaiya, who came here to investigate Xumi Liquor Industry, was naturally included.

"...Boss, let me have another drink that I haven't had before."

The one-eyed pirate Kaia waved to the boss, signaling for new wine.

The boss looked helpless: "Sir, you have already drank all the wine in my store."

As a famous hotel in Port of Ormos,

There is not a lot of alcohol at the Diafa Hotel;

Many times, most tourists can only taste one or two of them.

But the one-eyed man in front of him tasted all the wines in the hotel.

It was precisely because of this move that the owner of the Diafa Hotel personally received Kaia.

Otherwise, a guest would naturally be received by an ordinary waiter.

"Drank it all? Okay, okay, let's do this for today. It's time for me to get down to business."

Kaia put down her glass and stretched.

"Kaia, you are indeed here. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to touch you." Paimon's voice sounded behind Kaia.

Since Kaia had a history of playing tricks on them, Paimon was really worried that he wouldn't be able to find anyone after coming here.

Turning around and looking at Paimon and Ying, Kaiya showed a smile on his face: "Haha, Paimon, Ying, it seems that the gods still favor me. I have been waiting here for you."

Ying curled her lips: "I take this sentence seriously."

Paimon also glanced at Kaia sideways: "You are on a business trip, why are you hanging out in the tavern all day long?"

Facing Paimon's 'accusation', Kaiya didn't care at all and waved his hand: "I came to Xumi this time to inspect the Xumi wine industry."

"As you know, the most developed industry in Mondstadt is the wine industry. If you want to establish business relations with Xumi, communication between the two parties in the wine industry is essential."

"So, I need to understand the advantages of Xumi Wine in advance so that I can lay the foundation for future communication."

Kaia's assurance made Paimon believe it.

"So, did you find out anything?" Paimon asked.

Kaia smiled and nodded: "Of course, I discovered that Sumeru has a spice called spice. This spice is added to wine to make a very good cocktail. I think Mondstadt can definitely introduce this spice."

Paimon completely believed it and nodded seriously: "Oh, that's it. It seems that Kaia is really doing the mission."

"Haha, right? I have already discussed cooperation with several big businessmen in Port Omos."

Kaia revealed the progress of her mission to the two.

His bright eyes flashed slightly, and he noticed something was wrong.

As a foreigner, Kaia actually reached a deal with the big businessman of Olmos Port so quickly.

This isn't right.

"Kaia, have you been to Xumi before?" Ying asked,

Kaia, who was joking with Paimon, was stunned for a moment: "Oh? Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"You came here alone to investigate, and you produced results so quickly. I feel like you are very familiar with what this place looks like." Ying said.

Kaiya laughed: "You are really keen. I did come to Xumi once, but that was when I was very young."

Kaia was slightly silent as she thought of what happened when she was a child.

Paimon probed: "What then?"

Why is this man half-speaking!

"Well... do you still want to hear it? Although I came to you to reminisce about the past, this is just my past."

"It's okay, we're curious too."

"Well, since you want to know, let me tell you about it. That was when I was very young..."

[Kaia told Ying and Paimon the story of her childhood pursuit of the land of blood, Kanrea. 】

…

On the side of Diafa Hotel,

Dainsreb, who was dressed in mysterious clothing, looked at the man (god) in front of him with a trace of bitterness on his lips.

"Long time no see, Dain." Wang Daoyi looked at the acquaintance in front of him and said hello with a smile.

He was originally deep in meditation, but suddenly he had a sudden impulse, and his mind quickly captured a trace of abnormal fluctuations in the earth's veins.

Open the leyline channel and come over to take a look.

He immediately discovered Deinsreib who was eavesdropping on Kaia and Ying's conversation.

"It's been a long time indeed. It's been nearly two years since we last saw each other." Dainsreib looked at the person in front of him. Before they parted ways last time, the other person was still a dependent of the God of Rock.

Although it is noble, it is just that.

Now when we meet again, the other person has become a superior god.

This kind of growth rate is somewhat unbelievable even for a well-informed person like Deinsreib.

"It's been two years. How are you? How have you been these two years? You have been chasing the abyss. What have you gained?"

"I didn't gain much, I just regained some memories." Deinsreib did not hide Wang Daoyi's intention.

For the past two years, he has been hunting the abyss,

There are wins and losses,

Thanks to the immortal curse, he was not surrounded by the abyss.

Similarly, during this time, Deinsreib also recalled some images that were submerged in the depths of his memory.

That's why he came to Sumeru.

Meeting Kaiya and Ying was completely unexpected. He came here to find those lost memories.

"Your memory seems to be a very interesting thing." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

But Deinsreb could clearly feel the meaning behind his smile.

Your memory, I want to know.

"It's about Kong. I once traveled with him. When I was experiencing the Sumeru area, I heard him talk about [The Loom of Destiny] for the first time."

"The loom of fate?" Wang Daoyi's expression changed,

This name was also familiar to him. He once went on an adventure with Dainsreib and Ying.

I have heard this term many times from the conspiracy of the Abyssal Order.

But what exactly is the loom of fate, Wang Daoyi still doesn’t know.

Even in World Tree, there are no records of these contents.

[There are many places in World Tree that have been modified and hidden. 】

This is what Nasida told Wang Daoyi.

Obviously, this story about [The Loom of Destiny] is part of the story that has been concealed.

"That's it, okay, I understand." Wang Dao nodded, and then looked at Kaia and Ying in the Diafa Hotel, "Would you like to go say hello together? Kaia is also your tribe after all. "

Dainsreb was silent for a moment, then raised his head: "His blood is purer than mine."

Dainthreb is the captain of the palace guard in Camria.

The only people with purer Canrean blood than him are the ruling class of Canrean.

Kaia Alberich,

Whether judging from his bloodline characteristics or his name,

He is a descendant of a 'noble' Canrian noble.

"So, Kaiya is really a descendant of the founder?" Wang Dao said with a keen interest in his eyes.

Dainsreb shook his head slightly: "No, it cannot be a direct descendant. It is very likely that it should be a collateral bloodline."

As he spoke, Deinsreib also showed a trace of emotion in his eyes: "But there is no doubt that the opponent is indeed of Alberich's blood. I really didn't expect that there is Alberich who can maintain his human form, and even... Live well.”

When Kanria was cursed by the sky,

The more pure-blooded the Kanria, the more horrific punishment they will suffer.

The half-blooded Kharians will turn into monsters, wandering on the ground without their will.

And the pure-blooded Kharians will suffer the curse of immortality.

Don't think that the curse of immortality is a good thing. Thinking that you won't die is a good ability.

The immortal curse here makes you watch your body gradually decay, your consciousness blurring little by little, until your soul collapses.

Think about it, you are watching your body rot bit by bit, feeling the blur of your memory bit by bit,

He wanted to end it all with death, but he was completely unable to do so under the constraints of the immortal curse.

Immortality is not a favor, but torture.

It's an eternity of torture until your spirit breaks and you turn into a decaying monster.

"Are they of the same vein but different origins? That's right." The interest in Wang Dao's eyes slightly faded.

If he is not a direct descendant of the Abyss leader, then he has no interest.

Although Alberich's bloodline was indeed a subject worth studying, Wang Daoyi was not interested.

"How about it, come over and have a look? You haven't seen Ying for a long time, right?"

Wang Daoyi suggested.

Dainsreb didn't think about it and nodded directly: "Of course, it just so happens that what I want to do next requires me to take Ying with me."

Ying is Sora's blood relative. Dainsreib wants to retrieve the memories of his and Sora's travels, so bringing Ying around may be stimulating.

Although there is no scientific basis for it, Deinsreib thinks it works.

Diafa Hotel,

Ying and Paimon were listening to Kaia's story.

"...The only thing I can talk about that is related to Camria is the surname [Alberich]."

Kaia was saying,

Two familiar figures sat next to them,

"Boss, a cup of [Death in the Afternoon]." Deinsreb said to the boss in a familiar manner.

Wang Daoyi waved his hand equally unceremoniously: "I want a glass of coconut wine."

fluorescent:? .Where did you two come from?

Ignoring Ying's surprised expression, Dainsreib looked at Kaia: "I wonder if this gentleman knows what the surname [Alberich] represents?"

Paimon's eyes widened and he suddenly realized: "Dadein? And Dao Yi, how come you are together?"

Wang Daoyi smiled at Paimon and said, "I happened to meet Daine when I went out for an outing, so we came together."

Dyne: It’s amazing that you can step on the entrance of my underground tunnel during your outing.

"Hmph, are you two finally doing more than just eavesdropping?" As a descendant of Kanria and the cavalry captain of the Knights of the West Wind, Kaia's strength is not weak.

Moreover, when Wang Daoyi and Deinsreib eavesdropped just now, they didn’t even think about hiding themselves.

So Kaia had already discovered it.

In fact, Ying should have been able to find it, but she was obsessed with telling stories with Kaiya, so she didn't notice the arrival of Wang Daoyi and Daiin.

As for Paimon, she didn't find it normal.

Dyne still looked at Kaia calmly: "Have we been discovered yet? Then we can be considered acquainted, Mr. Kaia Alberich...the descendant of the founder of the Abyss Order."

Kaiya's eyes flashed slightly:...

Ying's eyes widened, as if he heard something incredible: "The Abyss Religion?"

Paimon was completely confused: "What?"

Only Wang Daoyi smiled and accepted the wine sent by the boss.

Well, as a big hotel in Port of Ormos, Diafa Hotel's coconut wine seems to be more refreshing than ordinary coconut wine. There must be some secret recipe.

Dainsreb looked at Kaia's expression and stared at the other person's pupils that represented pure blood: "You probably didn't know this before, Mr. Kaia, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to tell me about you so calmly. surname."

"Oops~" Kaia's face was neither panic nor uneasy. Instead, there was a smile. "It turns out that this last name is so [troublesome]. It also verified my guess. This is why my father left me in Mondstadt." The reason?"

Kaia originally guessed that her identity as a survivor of Camria prevented her biological father from taking her with him, so she left him in Mondstadt.

Now that he knew the identity of his surname from Dyne, Kaia was even more convinced that his father left him in Mondstadt as a form of protection.

Free Mondstadt can accommodate anyone.

Including the descendants of the founder of the Abyss Order.
