Chapter 11 Empty Requests
Mondstadt, the residence of the Liyue envoy.
People have listened to wonderful music and ups and downs of stories... The best bards on the continent are in Mondstadt, and they have already experienced the best "listening to books".
However... only when such truly immersive stories are shown in front of them, when they see these stories intuitively, will they truly understand why Ningzhe is the most famous storyteller in Liyue Port.
This method... is simply a foul!
"It's a very novel experience. Chenxi Winery will very much welcome your performance."
In front of the crowd, Diluc nodded slightly to Ningzhe and then left.
The onlookers didn't find it strange when they saw Diluc's reaction.
If they own a property of the level of Chenxi Winery, they can definitely invite this "storyteller" alone.
"This story is selected from "The Psalm of the Wind", a work by the famous writer Stephen King... If you are interested, you can read the original work."
Seeing that the audience below were still thinking a lot, Ningzhe put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.
"Stephen King? The writer who wrote The Shining?"
"Isn't that writer specializing in horror novels? How could he write such a touching and poignant story?"
As soon as Ningzhe said this, the people in Mondstadt immediately started shouting.
Stephen King is a very famous novelist in Mondstadt a few years ago.
Back then, he became an instant hit in Mondstadt with his book "The Shining" and quickly became one of the best novel writers in Mondstadt. He was even considered a pilgrim by the Mondstads Writers Association.
After that, he wrote other high-quality novels including "The Great Legenfind" and "Dead Silence", which further consolidated his status.
But later on, I don’t know what happened, but this great writer suddenly lost news and no works were released again.
And now, the Liyue envoy said that Stephen King will have a new work coming out, called "The Psalm of the Wind", which undoubtedly ignited the hearts of Mondstadt people.
"No, I have to go to the bookstore now..."
""Poetry of the Wind" sounds like a very wonderful work!"
Soon, people in Mondstadt were infected by this breaking news and left the scene, heading directly to the central business district.
"..."
Watching people leave one after another, Ningzhe's expression remained unchanged and he was still standing on the stage.
Not because he wanted to show off, but because he discovered a blond boy and a white dumpling floating in the air standing under the stage.
Sora and Paimon...
It seems that his guess is indeed correct. The great changes in Liyue Port have obviously attracted this traveler's attention in advance. I am afraid that for him, finding out the specific situation of Yanshen is more important than many things.
"Song...they are all gone, do we want to go up?"
Seeing everyone around him passing by, Paimon spoke hesitantly.
"Well, let's go and ask..."
Seeing Ningzhe on the stage, who kept making concave shapes, Kong felt a little uncertain for a moment.
"You two, judging by your clothing style... you must not be from Mondstadt, right?"
At this moment, Ningzhe on the wooden platform suddenly spoke to them and walked towards them at the same time.
"Ah, yes. I am Sora, I come from...another world."
"A visitor from another world? Not bad. I also know a visitor from another world. You should have something in common with her."
Hearing Kong's words, Ningzhe pretended to be stunned for a moment, and then spoke in sudden realization.
But soon, Ningzhe turned the gun, glanced at Paimon, and asked Sora in a confused tone: "But this flying one...is it your pet?"
"Hey! Paimon is not a pet!"
Paimon originally wanted to leave a good impression in front of this big shot, but when he heard what he said, he immediately grinned and spoke loudly.
"Paimon is indeed not a pet, she is...well...my guide."
Seeing the little white guy next to him gearing up to go up and discuss it, Kong quickly spoke.
"Sora! You just hesitated, right? You hesitated!"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"snort......"
Paimon put his hands on his hips, raised his little head, and looked down into the sky.
Sora covered his forehead helplessly, as if he had a headache.
"Haha... It seems that the relationship between the two of you is very good."
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Ningzhe's lips unconsciously, as if he remembered something.
"By the way, it's getting late now..."
Ningzhe looked up at the sky. The sun had gradually set and it was almost dinner time.
"If you two don't dislike it, you might as well come to the residence and have a chat. The food of Liyue people is quite good, and I fell in love with you two at first sight, and I have something to say."
"Okay, okay!"
When he heard that there was something for free, Paimon immediately nodded in agreement, fearing that it would be gone if he agreed too late.
"good."
Kong glared at Paimon, and then nodded slightly towards Ningzhe.
It's best this way. Kong also has many questions to ask the envoy from Liyue... As for whether there will be danger, there is no need to worry about it at all.
On the one hand, Kong was confident in his own strength, but on the other hand, he did not think that the Liyue envoy would dare to take action in Mondstadt, even though the relationship between the two countries was very good.
...
Within the residence.
Unpretentious solid wood furniture, a few vases, and a few paintings complete Ningzhe's room.
From the outside, it doesn't look like a place where a representative of Liyue, a commercial country, should live... because it is too simple.
Liyue is the richest country in the entire Teyvat continent, and they definitely have no shortage of Mora.
And according to general principles, envoys stationed abroad are equivalent to the face of a country. Who doesn't want to make his face look better?
"Huh? What's wrong, are you surprised by the layout of my room?"
Seeing Paimeng's eyes wandering around, Ningzhe asked in a funny tone.
"Ah? No, no, I was just thinking, your room is so neat, there is no clutter at all..."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Ningzhe shrugged and said disapprovingly: "I prefer something cleaner. If this place is filled with all kinds of precious things, I will be restrained."
At this point, he added with a smile: "If you take two steps and you encounter a priceless vase, wouldn't that mean you have to be careful at home?"
"Yes, Paimon thinks you are right!"
After hearing Ningzhe's painting, Paimeng nodded in sudden enlightenment.
"Haha... Speaking of which, as travelers, where have you been to Teyvat?"
Smiling and pouring a cup of tea, Ningzhe asked as if by accident.
"A place? To be honest, I have only been to Mondstadt so far, and I have never been to other places."
Taking the tea handed to him by Ningzhe, Kong didn't hesitate and spoke directly.
"Really? That's a pity. Liyue is a very nice country. If you have the chance, you can go there and have a good time."
"There's no need to play. I only have one purpose for traveling."
"Um?"
Ningzhe showed a puzzled expression at the right time, waiting for Kong's next words.
"I want to find my sister. I...I only know that she is on the continent of Teyvat, but I can't find her."
"I see..."
Ningzhe sighed, lowered his voice, and said, "Have you been separated from your sister? It seems that you are always burdened by your travels..."
Having said this, Ningzhe paused for a moment, and then said: "I once had to "travel" the entire Teyvat continent for some reason. Those days... were indeed unforgettable."
"Song, if you have any questions or encounter any difficulties, you can come to me and I will definitely answer them."
Seeing how naturally Ningzhe's expression changed, Kong also let go of the last bit of vigilance in his heart.
"Actually, I do have a question... It's a bit offensive, I hope you don't mind."
After a moment of silence, Sora finally decided to speak.
"Ask me, I will never take it back if I say it."
Hearing this, Ningzhe smiled gently and filled himself with tea again.
Seeing Ningzhe's reaction, Kong pondered for a moment, and then said directly: "I heard that Liyue's [Rock God] suffered a catastrophe and fell. Is this true?"
The fall of the Rock King Emperor?
Ningzhe's hand holding the tea cup shook subconsciously.
