Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

"Each box contains a random flavor. It all depends on luck which one you choose." The Flower Knight greeted the three people with a smile, "Come on, which one do you want from one to five?"

Paimon came back to his senses and asked the most concerned question, "What flavors are there?"

Flower Knight: "Candies have violet melon, spicy fruit, sunset fruit..."

Paimon: "Yeah, that all sounds good."

Paimon was about to point to one at random when he heard the other party continue, "...and then there's the lizard tail smell and the ghost beetle smell."

"Ugh!" Paimon was surprised and disgusted, "What the hell is this!"

Lizard tails are fine, but candy flavored with beetles! Even if it were... I wouldn't try it!

Hmm...hmm...never mind, I'll just give you an example. Even Ichito wouldn't try it!

In order to avoid choosing unpalatable candies, Paimon decisively assigned Kong to carry out the task, "Kong has good character and luck! I want to eat the sunset fruit flavor, please Kong!"

Sora looked at the candy boxes on the table, "...Three people, I'll choose number three."

The Flower Knight opened the candy box and said, "Oh, sorry, it's the Melon flavor. Number four is the Sunset Fruit flavor."

Paimon sighed, "Aru's proverb says that everything comes in threes, and things only turn around the fourth time. We should have chosen number four."

Although the violet melon flavor is not bad compared to the lizard tail and ghost beetle flavored candies, she wanted the sunset fruit flavor! I overestimated Sora's luck!

"Today is a holiday, so be happy." Flower Knight Faris handed two boxes of candy to the two travelers, "I'll give you the melon flavor and the sunset fruit flavor!"

Paimon was surprised and thanked him: "Thank you, Sugar Knight!"

The Flower Knight tried to correct him, "It's the Flower Knight! Not the Sugar Knight!"

The few people who were eating candies and continuing to shop were stopped by a group of mercenaries with unfriendly expressions. Dixia, who had been following and protecting them in the dark, came out.

The mercenaries showed fearful expressions, "Dixia, the Blazing Lion?"

Dixia ignored them and looked at Kong and asked, "You can take Miss Dina Zedai and leave first."

Kong nodded to Dishia, and protected Dina Zedai and Paimon, who had no fighting power, and left this dangerous place.

Sora found an open platform to keep an eye on the situation while Dina Zedai sat on a bench and kept coughing.

"Are you okay, Dina Zedai?" Paimon was worried about Dina Zedai's health. "Did we walk too fast just now?"

"No, it's okay," Dina Zedai tried to endure the discomfort, "Maybe I didn't sleep well recently, I'll be fine after a rest."

After dealing with the robbing mercenaries, Dixia came over with a bandage on his arm and some blood seeping out.

"Dixia!" Dina Zedai checked her condition worriedly, "You are injured!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Dixia didn't let her take a closer look at the wound. "Originally, they couldn't have hurt me. It's just that I'm not very familiar with the new sword in my hand. It's just a scratch."

Dina Zedai: "Weapons are not convenient? Where is your previous great sword?"

"Ah... this... um..." Deshia, who didn't want to lie, still told the truth vaguely, "I was a little short of money before, so I had to sell it. This kind of thing happens occasionally."

The clever Dina Zedai immediately remembered something. "The money from the Lambad Tavern to redeem the bracelet, and the unexplained donation from the Grand Bazaar other than mine, is..."

It was the money that Dixia got from selling her great sword, all because of her willfulness...

Dixia was busy wiping Dina Zedai's tears. "Ah, hey, Miss Dina Zedai, I didn't mean to make you cry. Will my employer deduct my commission if I make you cry?"

Knowing that Dixia deliberately made jokes to ease her mood, Dina Zedai took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "Thank you so much, Dixia."

Paimon was worried, "Dina Zedai, are you okay? How about we go to the health home and ask a doctor to check you out?"

Dina Zedai shook her head and untied the bandages wrapped around her hands. "I don't want to hide it anymore. I was born with the magic scale disease, and it has now developed to the terminal stage."

Dina Zedai's hand, from the wrist all the way up to the invisible sleeve, is covered with gray-black scaly skin tissue.

"How could it be..." Paimon couldn't believe it and then suddenly realized, "No wonder Dina Zedai always looks weak."

Kong frowned, "We have already destroyed most of the Dead Zones and their incarnations. We should have controlled the spread of the Dead Zones and the outbreak of Demonic Scale Disease."

Paimon: "Yes! Ke... A friend of ours with a similar condition said that his body felt better and there were no signs of illness! Why does Dina Zedai's case look so serious..."

Dina Zedai didn't think that Sora and Paimon were bragging at all, and naturally believed their incredible words.

"As expected of the Traveler Team, thank you."

"In fact, I do feel a lot more relaxed during this period, but it may be because I haven't rested enough recently. In addition, my condition is very serious and has lasted for too long. I, I may not have the chance to wait until next year's Flower God's Birthday Festival."

"No miss!" Dishia quickly retorted: "There has always been a legend in the desert that the Vitality House has cured patients with magic scale disease. As long as I continue..."

Dina Zedai shook her head. "Don't be so sad. I have always lived on the premise that I have the magic scale disease. In fact, I have completely accepted this fact a long time ago."

"There will always be things that make people regretful in life, but I know that we live to leave no regrets, right?"

"Today is the Flower God's Birthday, it's a happy day, everyone please don't show such expressions."

Dina Zedai smiled and changed the subject, "The Flower God's Dance seems to be about to begin, right? This is the part of the Flower God's Birthday Festival that I am most looking forward to."

A group of four went to the Grand Bazaar, waiting for Nilu's Dance of the Flower Goddess to begin.

But besides Nilu, there was also a proud old man and his aggressive secretary standing on the stage.

The two men forcefully stopped the preparations for the Dance of the Flower Goddess and hinted that if the Grand Bazaar continued to oppose the Congregation of the Church, they would arrest those who organized the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival.

Paimon was so angry that he screamed, "How could this happen! That old man is so annoying! If...he were here, I would definitely slap him twice and make him fly into the air and spin!"

Although she was disappointed, Dina Zedai remained calm. "That's it. Since there is no Dance of the Flower Goddess, I want to go back and rest."

Dishia carefully helped her away.

Paimon and Sora returned to the inn in a bad mood, "The Flower Goddess Festival... just ended so abruptly? I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

Dina Zede's time...

Dina Zedai's expectations...

“Beep—”

It was like a sharp whistle coming from inside my head.

Sora held his forehead and vaguely heard a voice saying—

“All connections have been secured to build the highest stability architecture.”

"The plan has entered the most critical stage, and power will be derived from "——"."
