Genshin Impact: Return of the Immortal Realm starts with being chased by Shadow

Gan Yu looked very happy.

After taking care of all this, Lin Jinnian returned to his residence and saw Ping Yun who was busy with other things.

Somehow she had developed this habit. She just couldn't take any time off and always wanted to find something to do.

She was either watering the flowers or doing other things, so that she didn't even notice that Lin Jinnian was back.

Lin Jinnian stood outside the yard, staring at her and feeling the aura on her body.

I always feel that the weirdness in Gui Liyuan has something to do with her.

Since Ping Yun was involved, he didn't want to delay the matter for too long. He would go to Guiliyuan after dealing with Ping Yun.

Just as he was thinking about it, Paimon's voice came from behind.

"Eh? Lin Jinnian, so you are here?"

"you……?"

Lin Jinnian was a little surprised by their appearance.

They should be on the way to Mondstadt with Dainsreb at this time. Why did they come to see him?

"We've come to invite you to Mondstadt with us."

Ying told Lin Jinnian the information they had just investigated.

The Abyss Cult tried to use the "eyes of the world's first cultivator" to transform the Whirlpool Demon into the Filth Demon, giving him the power to "shake the throne of the Sky Island God".

And they decided to follow the clues and go to Mondstadt. If they had Lin Jinnian as a helper, they wouldn't have to worry about being in danger.

"Um……"

Lin Jinnian didn't have any objections. If he joined, the plot would advance faster.

And maybe we can meet the drunkard Fengshen and Xiao Keli.

He agreed immediately.

"But I want to tell Pingyun that you should wait for me outside Liyue Port first."

"Ok."

Ying nodded and left with Paimon.

After Lin Jinnian asked Pingyun to explain, he rushed outside Liyue Port.

However, he saw three people.

Ying, Paimon, and Dainsreb.

He almost forgot that Dainsreb would be going with him.

When Dainsreib saw Lin Jinnian coming, he nodded and said nothing.

He had heard about Lin Jinnian from Ying and Paimon, and he was a capable man.

But he always felt that the person in front of him was hiding much more than that.

It is inevitable that I am still a little wary of him.

So the two of them didn't speak in a very tacit understanding, and each remained silent.

Along the way, only the silly Paimon kept looking for topics to talk about.

The group chose to go to Mondstadt from the Shimen side. Although they could also pass through the Longji Snow Mountain, the weather on the snow mountain was bad and the journey was inconvenient.

……

After traveling for a day and a night, they finally arrived near the city of Mondstadt.

This was due to the extraordinary endurance and speed of a few people. For an ordinary person, this journey would probably take ten days and a half.

Soon after, they came to the bridge in front of Mondstadt.

Lin Jinnian also saw Timmy, the "pigeon meat wholesaler" who was feeding the pigeons with bread.

Of course, he may not have the desire to kill the pigeon with one sword.

Further ahead is the magnificent gate of Mondstadt, which looks far more majestic than Lin Jinnian imagined.

He thought Mondstadt was just a small town before, but now it seems that he has underestimated it.

In reality, Mondstadt is more like the royal capital of a certain country.

Sure enough, the real continent of Teyvat is a very real and vast world.

When a row of knights from the West Wind Knights guarding the city gate saw Ying, they immediately performed the knightly salute.

"Hello! Honorary knight, may the wind god protect you."

Here, I have to feel a little proud.

She put her hands on her hips, held her head high and puffed out her chest proudly.

She is the hero who put down the dragon disaster and saved Mondstadt!

However, Lin Jinnian and Deinsreib ignored her and walked in on their own.

Only Paimon reminded him.

"The travelers...the two of them...have already left..."

"?!"

Looking at the two of them leaving, Ying felt speechless.

She now hoped that the knight at the door would stop the two of them quickly so that she could show up and use her status as [Knight of Honor] to lead them in.

By the way, show off your majesty.

However, the reality was not what she expected.

The leading knight saw the two of them coming with Ying before, so he didn't stop them for questioning and let them go.

"..."

There was no other way, so Ying had no choice but to follow Paimon silently.

In this way, the group of people came to the square in front of the West Wind Cathedral and saw the huge statue of the God of Winds standing in the center of the square.

Looking at the statue of the god, Dainsreb suddenly felt something.

"Huge statues of gods and magnificent churches. The people of Mondstadt must have spent a lot of resources and energy to build them."

"But how much did the Fengshen who received this gift feel, and how much did he repay it?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Lin Jinnian also looked at the statue and said calmly.

"Perhaps Fengshen has paid a lot for Mondstadt, but no one knows about it."

"...I don't deny that there is such a possibility."

Feeling that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, Paimon quickly came out to mediate.

“[Faith] doesn’t ask for anything in return, right?”

Dainsreib snorted coldly.

"Hmph, as long as the gods feel at ease, I won't say much."

"Hush! We are about to enter the church. Don't say bad things about Fengshen."

"And Fengshen is actually...ah, it's nothing."

Paimon originally wanted to say something about Wendy's contribution, but after thinking about it carefully...well...it seemed like nothing.

His drunkard look... is really... hard to describe.

"Oh, I had no intention of entering the church in the first place. I'll leave the matter of dealing with the nuns to you." Deinsreb said his plan.

"Eh?"

"Didn't we all act together before?"

"You are an honorary knight of Mondstadt and are deeply trusted. They should feel comfortable letting you participate in this matter."

Dainsreb looked at Fing.

"But I am different. At any time... I may say things that the church does not want to hear."

“Nothing good ever comes of a ‘rejector’ stepping into a ‘pious place’. "

This is the only point Lin Jinnian agrees with.

He and Deinsreb were on opposite sides.

Dai Yin is a believer and stands on the opposite side of God, but Lin Jinnian, just for the sake of shadow, must be on the side of God.

This also leads to the fact that they are destined not to be the same people.

Chapter 73: Keli couldn’t find anyone after asking for information

Dainsreb reminded him before leaving.

"You'd better not mention [the filthy reversed idol] to anyone in the church."

"The Church of West Wind will not ignore the matter of the idol, but if they intervene rashly, I'm afraid things will be more troublesome."

After saying that, he left.

After Dainsreib left, Paimon could finally question Lin Jinnian.

"Why do you feel that the relationship between you two is so bad? Do you have any conflicts?"

She even felt that if she didn't mediate in time, the two of them would quarrel.

really weird.

Ying couldn't understand either.

The two of them probably have nothing in common.

"No, it's just because he and I are not the same person."

"Not a fellow traveler? What do you mean?"

Lin Jinnian did not explain.

"I didn't want to go with him originally, but since it's your invitation, I have no choice."

Eh?Is it actually me?

Ying was a little surprised.

"Okay, okay, let's go in first."

Paimon felt that if it continued like this, it would be dark and he wouldn't be able to tell.

So the three of them decided to go to Zephyr Cathedral and have a look.

……

Golden light penetrates into the church from the huge stained glass windows on both sides.

It adds a bit more holy color to the church.

Lin Jinnian saw Barbara from a distance. She was talking to several nuns around her.

He followed her to Barbara.

Barbara greeted warmly.

"Knight of Honor! Hello, how have you been lately? Is there anything going on today?"

"Is this person next to you...?"

Barbara unexpectedly discovered that there was a handsome man following Ying.

He exudes a very easy-going temperament, he must be a very good person, right?

"He is Lin Jinnian, a companion traveling with us." Paimeng introduced him proactively.

"Hello, I am Barbara, the prayer pastor of West Wind Church."
