After finishing the meal, it was already afternoon. As expected, Kaia collapsed directly due to the alcohol. Qin looked helpless. She knew very well that this guy just wanted to fish.

Safir also smelled of alcohol, not much better than Kaia. She thought she had not drunk too much, but when she took out the fire water from the ice bucket, Wendy was happy.

As we all know, fire water should never be drunk ice-cold, because this kind of wine has a very high alcohol content. You can feel it irritates your nose when you drink it at room temperature. The alcohol evaporates quickly, and it is easy to control the alcohol content while drinking.

But once it is chilled, the situation is different. The chilled fire water has a refreshing taste, is not overpowering, and is very delicious.

But the degree of fire water will not decrease with the change of taste. Safir drank a lot, and by the time she realized it, her face was already blushing and she was in a daze.

She was drunk.

Finding that Safire was drunk, Diluc frowned and checked the empty bottle: "Someone put fire water into the ice bucket. She drank too much."

"Ah? Can't you drink the fire water iced?" Little Paimon looked surprised. Yes, she was the one who put the fire water into the ice bucket.

Safire asked her to prepare some wine. She thought that since Safire was from the Winter Country, she would definitely drink this wine, so she didn't think much and directly added the fire water.

Diluc held his forehead. It seemed that the prisoner had stopped asking himself.

Seeing the confused looks around him, Diluc explained the principle aloud.

Only then did everyone know the reason, and couldn't help but look at Safire, who had curled up like a kitten with a satisfied look on his face.

"Eh~" Ying grinned and leaned forward, then stretched out her right thumb and index finger, and gently pinched the drunk girl's cheek. It was soft, smooth and felt very good.

Ying gained a huge sense of satisfaction in an instant. For so long, she has always been the one being bullied, but today! She stood up!

She pinched Saffir's cheek again, but there was no retaliation or retaliation. This was the sense of control she dreamed of. Safir now had no ability to fight back.

"Huh~" Feeling that he was being harassed, Safire opened Ying's hand, turned over, and fell asleep again on the other side.

Seeing her like this, Ying couldn't help but want to tease her again, but she saw the photo camera in little Paimon's hand.

"What are you doing?" Ying suddenly felt a crisis in her heart and asked quickly.

Little Paimon smiled awkwardly and put away the video camera: "No...it's nothing. Hehe."

"Huh?" Ying felt that little Paimon was very suspicious. She suspected that the little guy wanted to take the opportunity to take a photo of her and then use it to threaten herself.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Qin coughed slightly and stopped their conflict: "Without further ado, let's go back to the island we went to in the morning to check it out."

After saying that, she looked at Wendy, whose face was a little unnaturally flushed: "The two of them will ask Sir Wendy to take care of them."

"It's okay, it's okay. You go ahead and I'll drink some more." Wendy chuckled while holding the bottle.

Safir and Kaia were both asleep, and Wendy was barely awake. Qin was really not at ease. I want to leave someone here to take care of me, but look at the people around me.

She felt that it was inappropriate to leave anyone behind, so after much thought, she informed Noelle that it would be the best arrangement to let the maid take care of the three drunkards.

When Noelle arrived, Qin took the people out of here.

Noelle looked at Kaia and Safir who were unconscious, and then at Wendy who was drinking, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

She snatched the wine bottle from Wendy's hand: "Mr. Wendy! How could you lead Miss Saffir to drink like this?" As for Kaia, she simply ignored it.

"Me?" Wendy pointed at herself and shook her head vigorously, "No...she drank it...by herself..."

Noelle puffed up his cheeks: "Mr. Wendy can say whatever he wants. Anyway, Mr. Zhongli is already on his way here. Just wish yourself well."

"Zhongli..." Wendy looked at the sky dully, "Where are you...come and have a drink, let him...come..." As he said that, he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

"..." Noelle was speechless. The three of them were unconscious now. She was so drunk at noon that she didn't know how to deal with it.

Just when she was at a loss, several black spots appeared in the distant sky, approaching here...

----------------

Under Qin's leadership, the group returned to the place they arrived in the morning. Keli's sharp eyes quickly found several special devices.

She jumped excitedly, urging others: "Come and see! This and this!"

"Is this the device you found this morning? Well, it does look weird." Little Paimon carefully observed the device in front of him. This is composed of three pillars similar to elemental obelisks and something similar to an earth vein stone.

There are three white rays of light extending from the thing similar to the earth vein stone, which is connected to the three pillars next to it. The three pillars are carved with red, yellow and blue patterns respectively, which look very strange.

"There are three sets of devices in total, and the light emitted converges at the same place. Albedo, will it be the key to lifting the energy shield?" Qin felt that she and the others were not far away from solving the mystery.

When Abedo heard Qin calling him, he walked forward slowly and looked at it for a moment before saying: "There is a small bracket arranged in front of the light emitter here. Judging from the shape, it seems to be embedded with something."

"What shape is this?" Little Paimon seemed not very sensitive to shapes and couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Keli didn't have the patience to decipher it. The previous decryption of Huaqing's secret palace was attributed to Yaoyao. She couldn't help at all at this time and had to rely on Abedo: "Keli can't understand, tell Keli quickly. Li Ting…”

"Irregular circle, or fan-shaped." Diluc frowned and analyzed, "Could it be an object with this shape nearby? Could it be a shell?"

After listening to Diluc's analysis, Barbara thought about it based on her own knowledge. She felt that it was not very reliable. She shook her head: "But the shells we saw are either smaller than this shape or larger than this shape... "

"Fish scales, is it possible?" Ying suddenly remembered her previous fishing experience on the Death Star in Shanghai. At that time, she saw Ada catch a very big fish, and the scales of that fish were also very big.

Little Paimon was a little confused after hearing Ying's words: "Fish scales? But why are there fish scales here?"

Qin also felt unreliable: "Are there any other clues?"

Abedo seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "Since it is a device placed in front of the light emitter, it means..."

"It needs to be transparent, right?" Ying had already thought of it. She had never been exposed to mechanisms related to light, and she knew very well that light was also a medium that could be used in mechanisms.

After Ying's reminder, little Paimon also reacted: "That's right! If it's opaque, wouldn't this device lose its meaning?"

Qin blinked, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Is there such a thing? This is the first time I have seen it." As she said that, she looked at these devices with a little more curiosity.

"Is this how it is used?" Barbara was also very surprised. In her opinion, mechanism technique should be a technology of physical contact and mechanical transmission. Something as advanced as light sensing really shocked her.

Diluc is insightful. He said calmly: "If you guessed it correctly, this is a special device that uses light. I have seen similar designs in some places. The arrangement of the light must comply with the conditions or paths and be arranged correctly. Only then can the mechanism be opened.”

He had seen this kind of thing in the Fools' stronghold, and if he remembered correctly, Saffir's technology also existed in that stronghold. In other words, the Fools had already mastered similar technology.

"If that's the case, are these three devices the key to opening the energy shield?" Little Paimon looked at the device, and then at the energy shield not far away. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Seeing that everyone had noticed the connection between the device and the energy shield, Abedo nodded slightly and said that was enough. The rest was about the color.

He calmly reminded again: "Have you noticed? Although the light emitted by the device is white, they themselves have colors. Red, blue, and yellow. There are three types in total."

Although Lei Ze is not good at words, his memory is not bad. He immediately thought of the letter just now: "Yes, it is in the letter."

"The three-color key is kept by the strange fish." Little Paimon also recalled the content of the letter and said, "Yes, that should be it!"

"Speaking of which... Ying, didn't Safiir give us three crystals just now?" Barbara suddenly remembered this matter.

Ying nodded and took out the three crystals: "Yes, she also said they were rewards for us defeating the Demon Sword Demon."

Barbara looked at the three crystals carefully: "light red like petals, light blue like waves, light yellow like autumn leaves..."

"You can't be wrong, these three crystals are the key tools to solve the mystery." Diluc crossed his arms, as if he had seen through everything.

Qin also nodded after listening. In fact, the mystery is not difficult, but it is very vague and requires them to think about it by themselves: "Giving valuable things to the greedy elves in the sea...is this what you mean?" As she said this, she thought about it again. Some possibility, "Ying, if that's what I think, why not arrange the crystals on the beach."

Seeing that everyone looked suspicious, Qin explained: "The greedy elves probably refer to the fish swimming in the sea. The fish are attracted to the crystal and bring fish scales."

"So that's it!" Little Paimon seemed to be enlightened and understood what Qin meant. Then she suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "Then I have something to say! On the way here just now, I saw There is a huge conch over there, and there are many fish swimming around it!

If you’re going to place a crystal, put it there! The water there is relatively shallow, so you can retrieve your items if you fail. "

Ying couldn't help but patted her friend's head happily: "Little Paimon can be thoughtful sometimes. I thought you would only be wise when you compete with me for food!"

"Ugh! That's too much! Ying, it's so rude of you to say that! I'm going to break off our relationship with you...um...two and a half minutes!" Little Paimon was very angry and looked away from his friend.

Keli said nervously: "It won't fail! Don't say such things!"

"Yes, yes, it will definitely succeed! Then I will take everyone there now." Little Paimon doted on Keli and quickly changed the topic. Take the lead in flying towards that location.

Ying chuckled and followed, followed by the others.

Safir was drunk. It wasn't her first time drinking, but it was her first time to be so completely drunk. In a hazy state, she felt like she was floating in the air, with no place to rely on and no sense of security.

So, she hugged herself tighter and tighter, curling up into a small ball, as if this could bring herself enough security.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhongli came to the beach. He frowned and looked at the helpless little maid and the three drunk people on the ground.

"Mr. Zhongli, Miss Nasida, Miss Xianyun, and Miss Aping." Noelle greeted them one by one.

Several people returned the favor with her, and then focused on the three drunk people.

Zhong Li looked at Wendy lying on the ground, with a trace of imperceptible disgust on his face: "This alcoholic poet got drunk like this. Isn't he a good drinker?"

"I'm afraid I wasn't sure for a moment and drank too much." Nasida thought about her words. She didn't like to speak ill of others, nor would she speculate on others with malicious intent.

Xianyun leaned down and took out a bottle of wine from the ice bucket: "The fire water of the Winter Solstice Kingdom is still cold, and they really dare to drink it."

A Ping couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this. She squatted next to Safir, stretched out her green-white jade finger, and gently poked Safir's cheek, which looked a little baby fat due to squeezing: "Now It’s such a huge embarrassment. I’m afraid it will take a while.”

"What did I arrange for her to do?" Xianyun pushed up his red glasses disdainfully, "Why don't you let others tell you that you are drunk?"

Nasida smiled after hearing this: "But Miss Xianyun, Miss Aping didn't say that you arranged her."

"Huh?" Xianyun suddenly understood that he was in the right position. He couldn't help but become a little angry and stared coldly at A Ping beside him.

A Ping was not afraid of her and looked back at her with a smile.

After a few seconds, Zhongli sighed softly: "Well, consider him lucky, otherwise I would have to make him some sobering tea for a few hours. But now, with Boss Phil drinking like this, I'm afraid he can only take Return to Chengehu to take care of it."

With that said, he stepped forward and picked up the small girl.

As if sensing that Zhongli had no ill intentions, Safire was hugged by him very obediently, and then subconsciously put his arms around Zhongli's neck.

The smell of alcohol hit his face. Zhongli didn't show any displeasure, but he was a little helpless. His mood was like that of an old father taking his drunk daughter home. He was helpless but also had a trace of pity, which was very complicated.

Just when Zhongli was about to leave, the girl in his arms suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the person holding her.

"Boss Phil, are you awake?" Seeing Safire wake up, Zhongli raised his eyebrows, "Can you leave by yourself?"

Safir seemed to want to struggle, but a severe headache hit her, making her give up her plan to struggle. It took a few seconds for her to recover: "Zhong...Li?"

"It's me, you're drunk, I'll take you away." Zhongli nodded and explained.

Safire blinked, as if he could not recognize the current situation, his eyes were filled with doubts, and then he said something that shocked everyone: "Phil...Boss?"

Noelle and others on the side looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that Safir lost his memory after drinking?

Zhongli also noticed that something was wrong. He looked carefully into Saffir's eyes. There was an indelible alertness and vigilance in his scarlet eyes. This feeling was unfamiliar to him.

Because Safire never showed such a look in his eyes from the beginning when he met him.

She has always been flamboyant and generous. Even when they met for the first time, the girl's eyes contained a touch of agility and playfulness. She had never been so wary.

"You... are not Boss Phil. Who are you?" Zhong Li had a calm expression on his face, but he asked such words in a mysterious way.

Xianyun opened her mouth wide. She felt that Zhongli was crazy. How could he ask such a question?

But Zhongli was very sure that the girl in his arms was not the Safire he was familiar with.

Sure enough, the girl was stunned for a few seconds, as if she was remembering something. After a long time, she opened her red lips and slowly uttered two words:

"Chen Xi."
