Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Su brought a large bowl of tea to Kong, who had spoken for three months, and then looked at the children.

"Brother has been telling you stories for so long, shouldn't you repay him?"

"Yes!" Youdan nodded and took the initiative to entertain the traveler team, "I can go to the forest to pick delicious star mushrooms for my brothers and sisters to eat."

Paimon quickly stopped him, "You're still going to the forest? Lana said you guys disappeared a few days ago!"

Youdan said nonchalantly, "It's okay, Lanlana will help us and send us home."

The Traveler Team looked at each other, "Who is Lan Lana?"

Yudan covered his mouth in annoyance, "Um, no one! I meant Sister Lana, I accidentally said the wrong thing."

"Okay, then," Su Tu said, "I want to hear you tell me the story of Lannaro. Don't say you don't know. Lana said that you told her the story of Lannaro."

Caius stammered, "The story of Lanaro, well, it's just a story! They are a group of forest elves who play in the forest, that's all."

Paimon: "Wow, what a dry and short story."

Sora looked at Sudabei, who lowered her head in guilt, but still said firmly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know!"

Sudabei likes the new brothers and sisters very much, but she can’t tell them about what happened with her friends in the forest!

Seeing that they could not get anything out of the children, the travel team felt helpless.

Lana also finished talking about business with Alfonso. Alfonso went to contact the young and middle-aged people in the village, while Lana came to find the traveler team.

"I wanted to treat you well and ask you to take a rest." Lana was a little embarrassed, "But I learned about several dead zone points from Alfonso..."

What else is there to say? Let’s go and clean up the dead zone.

After hearing this, several children reluctantly pulled Lana to stop her from leaving, "Sister Lana, you've only been back for a while and you want to leave? Brother Alfonso is busy every day..."

Lana squatted down and patiently explained to the children in a soft voice before letting them let go of her hands reluctantly.

——*——*——

Lana and the Traveler Team rushed out of the village and cleared out several dead zones along the way.

"Experienced travelers are really amazing!" Lana was both grateful and guilty. "I can't thank you enough. If you weren't here, who knows how much damage these dead zones would have done to nature and creatures."

It is very difficult for people without the Eye of God to even approach the Dead Zone. Even if they force themselves to enter and clean up the Dead Zone, their efficiency is very low.

Coupled with the current situation of insufficient forest rangers, the dead zone near Weimo Manor has been shelved for some time. All they can do is to strengthen patrols and notify everyone to avoid the location of the dead zone.

But the expansion of the Death Zone weighs heavily on everyone's mind. If the Death Zone breaks out in full force, the people of Vimalakirti Manor and even Xumi may face terrible things.

Su waved his hand. "It's a convenient thing for us. We also want to clean up the dead zone. We have the same goal and can help each other."

If we destroy the dead zones sooner, Cole will be fine.

It was getting dark after being busy for so long, so Lana led the traveler team to a place suitable for camping.

Forest rangers often need to sleep outdoors when working, so many campsites are set up, where they place a lot of necessary equipment and supplies.

"Yeah, the stoves are clean, and the food is fresh." Lana checked the supplies in the wooden box. "If the food is not good, we may have to go fishing or dig wild vegetables in the woods today."

The travel team's attention was attracted by a stone house next to the campsite.

It looked like a large round stone, hollowed out with round doors and windows, and covered with a broad-leaved roof.

The door opening and space are small, and teenagers and adults have to bend down to get in, but it is just right for children.

Lana saw the interest of the Traveler Team and took the initiative to explain: "This can be seen frequently in the forest of Xumi. It is probably a relic like those small shrines!"

Although Lana didn't know what this stone house was used for, she always felt familiar with this kind of hut.

"Maybe I played in this kind of house when I was a kid."

Lana cleaned up the camp quickly, fetched fresh water from a nearby body of water, and cooked a pot of fragrant curry with the supplied ingredients.

Paimon: "It's delicious! Lana's cooking is amazing! I want another bowl!"

"Okay." Lana scooped another bowl of stewed curry for Paimon, humming a strange song.

"Curry~The smell of curry~is the signal for the children to come home~?"

Lana said this is a nursery rhyme of Xumi. Curry is a very free food. Every household can make curry, and the curry made by each household has its own flavor.

When we were young, we would know whether our rice was cooked as long as we smelled the aroma of curry.

As we grow older, we lose the ability to distinguish and think that all curries are the same.

"That's because my tongue has become dull and insensitive," Su said confidently, "I can taste the raspberry mint drink made by Sora in one gulp!"

Paimon nodded repeatedly, "Me too, me too! After all, Sora's is the best!"

"It must be a taste you like and are familiar with, haha." Lana recalled something funny. "Before, the children got lost in the forest, and Alfonso brought the children his own curry, hoping that the children would smell the familiar smell and come out on their own."

Finally, after a long and anxious search in the woods, they found that the children had returned to the village by themselves.

Paimon: "We asked Yudan and the others before, they seemed to know something but were totally unwilling to say."

Lana nodded. "Sometimes kids can't keep any secrets, and sometimes they can keep them very secret."

People in the village have asked many times, but the children have refused to give in and just said they don't know.

Lana looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I had a similar experience when I was a child. I got lost in the forest because I was playing around. I didn't return home until several days later."

She seemed to be sent back by a friend, but Lana couldn't remember which friend it was, what her name was, or what she looked like.

Just for a moment, Lana thought of something she had forgotten for a long time, something very warm and nostalgic.

But the memory flashed away, and Lana only remembered two sentences, "It seems that a friend in childhood told me--"

“In the end, the forest remembers everything.”

"It doesn't matter if you forget it when you grow up. The forest will remember everything."
