Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Paimon woke up early in the morning, "Huh - I feel so tired, even though I slept quite a bit."

Paimon, who had not rested well, took care of himself and excitedly knocked on the door of the next suite, "Sora! Get up! We have an appointment with Dina Zedai to attend the Flower Goddess Festival~"

Kong, who had finished his morning exercise and tidied himself, opened the door and walked out. "Have breakfast first. I've already brought it to the living room."

There were three hot breakfasts on the table in the living room.

"Hey, why did you take three? Oh, right! I can eat a lot!" Paimon happily finished two breakfasts.

After finishing breakfast and going out, the Traveler Team duo reunited with Dina Zedai.

Dina Zedai, who looked a little tired, suppressed her excitement. "Huh - this day has finally arrived. Every minute and every second is worth cherishing like gold."

Dina Zedai takes the two travelers to visit the city of Xumi during the birthday festival of the flower god.

The city seems to be no different from an ordinary day, without much festive atmosphere. But in the corners that you don't notice, there are many people and things that celebrate the festival seriously.

Dina Zedai first led the duo of travelers to a stall that seemed to sell flowers, fruits, and vegetables. The stall was full of natural colors and fragrances.

"This is the stall selling the Seven Fresh Tables." Dina Zedai introduced, "In the past, on the day of the Flower God's Birthday, every household would place seven kinds of dishes on the dining table."

"Generally speaking, the most common ones are the Tree King Holy Body Mushroom, Moon Lotus, Rose, Sunset Fruit, Tribulation Lotus, Spice Fruit, Dun Dun Peach, etc. They symbolize the seven virtues of the Xumi God."

The vendor was very happy. "Wow, you figured it out at a glance. I thought not many people knew about it. You are really a knowledgeable lady. I just picked these from the forest yesterday. They are absolutely fresh! Would you like some?"

Dina Zedai bought a table of seven fresh fruits and flowers, tied the flowers into a bouquet and held it in her arms, and distributed the fruits to Sora and Paimon.

Paimon took a bite of the Dun Dun peach and said, "It tastes sweet too, but the Lannaro kind is definitely better."

If I had known that I would leave Huan Nalan, I would have asked Lan Naluo for some and stored it up to eat slowly. But Kong was still too shy to ask.

The three of them continued to walk forward. Behind a stall near the alchemy table stood a student from the Order Academy wearing a dark green robe. "My name is Zimia. Would you like to try alchemical divination?"

Zimia said that the alchemical divination legend was invented by the Little Auspicious Grass King and was full of mystery and wonder.

Dina Zedai: "In the view of Little Lucky Grass King, everything is interconnected, and everything can point to "fate", which is also a kind of ancient wisdom."

Since Dina Zedai, the hidden follower of the Little Lucky Grass King, said so, Paimon and Kong also became interested and performed an unsuccessful alchemy according to Zimia's explanation.

Zimia carefully observed the ashes produced by the failed alchemy, "Hmm... the result is the "moon."

"The moon? I feel like it's just a piece of cake with a bite taken out of it." Paimon, who was thinking about food, complained and urged him to interpret it, "Then what does the moon mean?"

"It means... um..." Zimya turned his back and heard the sound of flipping papers.

"Are you looking for the answer in a book?" Paimon felt that he was about to lose trust in this man and the alchemical divination he talked about.

"Ahem, the moon represents illusion and lies." Zimia confidently endorsed: "Although it doesn't sound like a good result, as long as you believe in your intuition and overcome the fear in your heart, the sun will definitely rise."

Dina Zedai said with deep insight: "As expected, 'fate' will only give people superficial impressions. You still have to rely on yourself to reach the 'end'. Haha, thank you so much, we will refer to it."

Leaving the stall, the group continued strolling along the street.

Paimon muttered quietly, "I always feel like there's no festive atmosphere." It was no different from usual days, and it wasn't even as lively and happy as usual.

Dina Zedai said a little embarrassedly and regretfully: "I heard that a long time ago, the Flower God's Birthday Festival was very noisy."

With sparkling eyes, Dina Zedai described the flower goddess' birthday festival that she had heard about.

"There will be a huge float parading through the city, people throwing flowers, candies and wine along the way, and the float will drive all the way to the port of Omos, and the little lucky grass king will wave to everyone from behind the gauze curtain."

"Uh..." Comparing the past with today, Paimeng felt that today's Flower God's Birthday Festival was even more desolate.

Dina Zedai was full of confidence. "Although it is a pity that we cannot reproduce such a grand scene, I believe that Nilu's Dance of the Flower Goddess will not disappoint everyone and the Little Lucky Grass King."

"The real and original Patisallan was purple-red, but with the departure of Lord Flower God, they completely disappeared. Later Lord Tree King thought of many ways to cultivate the current Patisallan again. Although it is not exactly the same as before, its beauty and fragrance will make people remember Lord Flower God forever."

"Just like the Flower Goddess Festival nowadays is a little deserted, but as long as there are still people who remember the old traditions, they will still celebrate it. I think that slowly it will become as lively as it was a long time ago."

"What Dina Zedai said makes sense!" Paimon also gained confidence, "Let's continue shopping~"

The stall in front finally had a festive atmosphere, with a large group of children jumping and dancing around a person who was dressed in a somewhat exaggerated and flashy manner.

"Faris! Faris! Faris the Knight of Flowers!"

"Faris! Faris! Faris the Knight of Flowers!"

The "Knight of Flowers" surrounded by children wore a tall chimney-like hat decorated with butterflies on his head, and a flower chain with a small drum on his chest.

Seeing Sora and Paimon staring at the butterfly and flower chain in a daze, Dina Zedai explained: "This is the classic costume of the Flower Knight, and it is also a tradition of the Flower God's Birthday Festival."

According to legend, among the people who created the rainforest with the King of Trees, the one with the most wisdom and knowledge was the "First Sage", and the strongest, bravest and most responsible for protecting it was the "Knight of Flowers".

During the Flower Goddess Festival, someone will play the role of the original sage and flower knight, accompanying the grass god on the float in a parade.

"Although the Little King of Lucky Grass did not designate the original Sage and Flower Knight, the positions and images of these two are still retained in the festival. Although due to lack of manpower and sponsorship, there is currently only one Flower Knight without a float."

The Flower Knight is also responsible for handing out candy, which is what attracts children.

There were several large boxes on the table, each filled with Yalta candies of different flavors.
