Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

"Is this Heguan? I didn't expect that there would be fog all around. I can't see anything."

Nan Dou and Hu Tao set foot on Heguan, and what they saw was thick fog that almost completely obscured their vision.

"Come, follow me, and you won't get lost if you go through the gate."

The place that Nan Dou chose to land in Heguan was exactly the beach where the traveler landed in the game.

However, because it happened several months in advance, the adventurer Roald and no one else were here.

Hu Tao held Nan Dou's hand tightly. She didn't want to lose sight of Nan Dou in the thick fog where no one could be seen more than five meters away.

Nan Dou led Hu Tao along the road and walked into a stone gate. They did not encounter any obstacles along the way. Hillbillies should not appear on this isolated and mysterious island.

"Hey, the fog has dissipated a lot, and I feel like the atmosphere around me has become different."

Oddly enough, after the two of them passed through the stone gate, the originally thick fog that made everything invisible actually dissipated a little.

Nan Dou understood that when the two of them walked through the door, they officially entered the "cinema".

"Look there."

When Hu Tao was looking around, Nan Dou suddenly pointed in a direction ahead and said.

Kurumi looked in the direction Nandou pointed, and was surprised to find a little boy in a straw hat, looking at them curiously.

"Why is there someone here? And such a young child."

Hu Tao flew all the way here with Nan Dou. She knew that there were few inhabited islands near Heguan Island. In addition, Heguan Island was shrouded in thick fog, so she found it hard to imagine that there were people living on the island.

Curious, Kurumi pulled Nandou towards the little boy, and Kurumi kept staring at the boy.

Nan Dou was paying attention to Hu Tao, wanting to see if she had discovered anything.

Sure enough, as the two of them got closer to the little boy, Kurumi's brows gradually frowned.

Suddenly, Hu Tao stopped and whispered to Nan Dou's ear: "Brother, that little boy is not a living person, he is a ghost!"

Nandou was not very surprised by this. Kurumi's physique was special, and she had practiced the immortal method of rebirth, so it was not surprising that she could see through Aru's true nature at a glance.

"Let's go up and take a look. This place where ghosts can move freely is not an ordinary place."

Walnut nodded. The thick fog around her gave her a very gloomy feeling.

The two walked up to the little boy and found that he was very excited to see them: "Hello, my name is A-Lu!"

"Hello, Ru, I'm Kurumi and this is my brother, Nanto."

"Brother Nandou and Sister Hutao, I'm so happy! I haven't seen anyone from outside for a long time!"

"?"

Hu Tao began to have doubts. Nan Dou did not tell her that the Heguan civilization had disappeared thousands of years ago, but if a ghost said so, doesn't it mean that he has lived here for a long time?

"How many years have you been here?"

A-ru: "How many years? Let me calculate..."

"A few thousand. I can't remember exactly."

"?"

Seeing Kurumi's confused expression, Ru continued to explain, "Well... it's the same as everyone else here. When you hear thunder it counts as a year."

"?"

Hu Tao was still confused about how to calculate time using thunder. Even if it was a ghost, it was incredible that it could still exist after thousands of years.

Aru didn't care that Kurumi was still thinking, and continued to say excitedly: "Nandou brother and Kurumi sister came just in time! We happen to be celebrating today!"

"I'm sure Kapachiri will be happy to have you as a rare guest at the festival."

"Who is Kapachiri?" asked Kurumi.

"My good friend!"

Aru said without hesitation, but did not give any specific explanation, and Kurumi did not continue to ask.

As for Nan Dou, he knew the whole story and did not intend to speak. Instead, he wanted Hu Tao to go through the "plot" herself.

"If it's a festival, there should be a lot of people, and it should be very lively, right?"

Kurumi said this, but in her heart she was thinking, could the festival that Ru was talking about be a gathering of ghosts?

Aru's eyes were full of hope: "Well, everyone said I was the protagonist of this festival!"

"However, there are still some things to take care of before the festival begins!"

"Anyway, Brother Nandou, Sister Hutao, come with me!"

Aru turned and ran towards the island, with many doubts, and Kurumi and Nandou followed behind.

Nandou remained silent almost throughout the conversation with Aru, but he also felt some familiar feelings at Tsurukan.

The earth veins... The entire Heguan Island is filled with the power of the earth veins.

This power is exactly the same as what Nandou felt on the Mond Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

"If you put it that way, then this isn't surprising."

Aru led the two of them and ran through the fog until they came to a strange tree.

After Nan Dou and the other person entered through the gate, the fog dissipated a lot, but it was still invisible to the extent of twenty meters away.

"That tree is emitting lightning."

Hearing Kurumi's words, Aru turned around and explained, "That's the perch. Kapachiri once stayed on it."

The three of them quickly walked up to the perch, where two people were already standing.

"These two people...are not ghosts."

"There's not even the slightest trace of aura. Is it a projection of a certain period of time?"

What surprised Nan Dou was that Kurumi saw through the true nature of the two people at a glance.

"This is Makiri-sister, and this is Ibe-sister. The two of them will help me offer sacrifices to the roost."

Aru explained aloud, and the arrival of the three people seemed to activate the two of them. The two of them faced each other, without even glancing at the three people, and just looked at each other and talked.

From the conversation between the two, Walnut got some clues.

The roosts are the trees where Lord Thunderbird once stayed. After being contaminated by his breath, these trees became strange.

The way of offering sacrifices to the roost is to remove foreign objects from the roost.

The two mentioned Grandpa [again] and the wooden reed flute during their conversation.

From the previous conversation, Walnut could roughly infer that this Grandpa You should be the host of the festival.

As for the wooden reed flute, Aru once explained that it was a prop made by his tribesmen for them to practice with each other in the thick fog.

After the conversation, the two ran into the thick fog and disappeared.

"I see. Now it's time to remove the foreign objects from the roost, right?"

Kurumi ran to the perch very consciously, and just as she got close, she saw three purple lights flying out from the perch.

For a moment, the light on the perch dimmed.

"It looks like something important has flown away?"

Nan Dou reminded from the side.

"I understand. Get it back, right?"

Kurumi shrugged, a flash of fire lit up, and the Staff of Homa appeared in her hand.

Nandou discovered that Hu Tao had great potential to complete tasks. If she was brought back to his world, she would be more or less a master of the original god.

Not long after, Hu Tao found the thing that had just flown away from the perch. It was three feathers glowing with lightning, and they were the same strange feathers that Beidou gave to Nandou.

"That's it."

Kurumi placed the feather back on the perch and saw that the perch was glowing again.

"Thank you, Sister Kurumi. Next, we should go to the festival site."

"And Grandpa probably needs help to offer sacrifices to other roosts."

"Then we'll see each other later, Brother Nandou, Sister Hutao."

Aru was very happy to see the perch light up again and said to the two of them.

"Aren't you coming with us?"

Kurumi suspected that without Aru, the local ghost, leading the way, they would probably get lost in the thick fog.

"I need to prepare for the festival. After all, I have to meet Kapachiri!"

"Perch looks happy! Kapaqili will be happy too!"

Aru seemed very happy, and it was obvious that he cared a lot about this festival.

However, he mentioned the name Kapachiri several times, and Walnut was very curious: "Who is Kapachiri?"

"He's my friend! He likes to listen to my songs. During the festival, I will sing for Kapachiri."

After saying that, Aru ran into the fog and disappeared.

"Let's go. It seems that we can only get new clues by going to the sacrifice site."

Nandou patted Kurumi's head and took the lead to walk in the direction that Aru said.

"oh oh……"

When Hu Tao saw Nan Dou set off, she hurriedly followed him. She could feel that Nan Dou knew something, but remaining unknown was also part of the fun.
