Mondstadt, Aeolian Square.

When Ningzhe sat in the middle of the book launch conference and looked at the almost crowded scene below, his heart was actually very peaceful.

Although, he has never seen this scene.

When he was in Liyue, although he was called a "master" by the entire literary community, in the literary community in Liyue Port, they valued the work itself more than the writer.

Therefore, Ningzhe himself did not hold any new book launch conference in Liyue. For example, his work "The Story of the Stone" was directly handed over to the Liyue Writers Association for publicity and distribution.

And in Mondstadt...well, no wonder there is an idol like Barbara here and her fan club. The styles of different countries are really different.

But...it's good to experience this feeling.

Seeing the lively crowd below, Ningzhe smiled unconsciously.

...

However, this beautiful mood only existed for a while.

Since a new book launch is a press conference, it cannot just announce the release of the new book and other matters. As the author Stephen King himself, Ningzhe also needs to sign autographs for book fans on the spot...

Sign one, sign two, sign three...

After signing in, Ningzhe's whole body was numb, and his face even froze with laughter. He could still see an endless stream of book fans below.

In addition to "The Psalm of the Wind" for sale on site, some of his loyal fans even came to him with copies of "The Shining" and "Dead Silence" from several years ago, asking for autographs.

Although Ningzhe was a little moved when he first saw this type of book fan, as time went by and when he signed the fiftieth book, Ningzhe's thoughts became clear.

If he signs this again, he will tell you that he is here. This can't happen!

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ningzhe subconsciously raised his hand to use his mental power to hit the book fans present. However, it was not until he raised his hand that he suddenly realized that he could not use his mental power now.

The backlash from the previous restoration of Die Kalapian's remnant soul is still continuing. It would be uneconomical to forcefully use mental power for such a trivial matter...

"Why......"

Thinking of this, Ningzhe sighed helplessly, raised his head again, and looked at the next book he was about to sign.

"Eh?"

However, the book lover who appeared was an old friend.

This book lover has a pair of clear blue eyes and is wearing elegant and noble clothes. At this moment, he looks at Ningzhe's numb expression, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Albedo? Why do you have time to come here?"

Seeing this old friend, Ningzhe subconsciously rubbed his eyes, a little surprised.

He even subconsciously glanced at the star pattern on Albedo's neck, but when he found that the star pattern was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Logically speaking, Albedo should have returned to the Snow Mountains alone after the dragon disaster ended. If there was nothing important, why would he return to Mondstadt?

"I reorganized all the existing information and found all the interesting things in the ruins of Snow Country... But those are things for later. There are more important things to do now."

Having said this, Abedo raised the "Poems of the Wind" in his hand and smiled on his face.

Come on, sign it!

"..."

Seeing the book handed over by Abedo, Ningzhe was silent for a while, then glared at him, and then picked up the pen as if accepting his fate.

"Um......"

After getting the first book signed by Ningzhe, Abedo nodded with great satisfaction and carefully put it away.

Immediately afterwards, Albedo withdrew his smile, slightly possessed, and said softly: "After the autograph session, come to the Knights' alchemy laboratory to find me. The avalanche in the snow mountain triggered some strange clues. I think it may be related to What you are looking for is related to..."

After finishing speaking, Abedo turned around without hesitation and left the scene.

He came here as a book lover, so he couldn't delay for too long... As for whether he should "rescue" Ningzhe directly from the booth... let's forget it, he didn't want to do such a thankless job. things.

"..."

And watching Abedo leave, Ningzhe's mood became more complicated.

He really didn't want to stay here. When Albedo first appeared, he even imagined whether there would be any emergencies that required his help, but this guy...

Not only did she fail to help him leave, but she even said half of the words, deliberately putting him in a situation where he didn't want to stay anymore and couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

At this time, a book fan came up with an excited look on his face.

He was holding two books in his hand, one was "The Shining" and the other was "Weird Strange Tales". He seemed to be an old reader.

"Hello......"

Ningzhe didn't look carefully, he just smiled very reluctantly, and then signed his name very mechanically.

When he saw the cover of "The Shining", he directly signed the pen name "Stephen King", and when he saw the cover of "The Shining", he subconsciously wrote the words "Koji Tadokoro"...

The book fan was naturally overjoyed. He didn't realize that Ningzhe had signed two different pen names, and Ningzhe didn't realize that he had unintentionally signed the name "Tasoko Koji".

The reader left with a happy face after getting what he wanted, and then the next book fan came up.

Although Ningzhe felt something was wrong, seeing the next reader coming again, he had no choice but to keep smiling and continue signing.

The booth is very big, and although his autograph session here is the main venue, there are also many people in other places.

Many citizens of Mondstadt came here spontaneously and held various activities in the booths specially provided by the Insmeier family. There were snacks and drinks being sold, and minstrels singing, as if a festival was coming. The joyful look of everyone getting together.

certainly...

When the aroma of those snacks, especially the aroma of grilled fish, came from other booths, Ningzhe's nose still twitched subconsciously.

Of course, Ningzhe already knew that there was a reason why Mondstadt was willing to hold the largest book launch in history for the writer "Stephen King", but when he actually encountered this situation, Ningzhe felt that Still a little strange.

However, at the beginning, as a writer, he received the highest level of courtesy from the knights, the church and the publishing house, and he was considered worthy of his status as a writer.

Speaking of...

While signing autographs to one reader after another with a smile, Ningzhe was thinking about another thing.

Abedo said that the avalanche brought some interesting things, and those things were related to what Ningzhe was looking for...

There are many secrets hidden in the snowy mountains. It is reasonable that some secrets will emerge after an avalanche... and given Albedo's character, he would indeed invite him personally.
