Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"Haimo Village?"

Paimon repeated this term that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her, as if she didn't quite understand it.

Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then explained:

"That's right, Haimo Village is the hometown of the Melusins. The Melusins ​​of the Shadow Chasing Court discovered traces of the abyss there..."

As Chang Ming spoke, he fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling something.

"?"

Paimeng tilted his head, as if he didn't quite understand why Chang Ming's conversation suddenly got stuck as if he had been disconnected.

But...Chang Ming was not stuck, but an interface that he had never seen before appeared in front of him.

[World Quest: "Ancient Colors" has changed and is now changed to: "Ancient Traces - Gold"]

[Note: The change of this mission is caused by the individual "Death Abyss Fairy·Chang Ming", and the cost of the change will be borne entirely by this individual]

【Attention: "A", "B", and "R" are watching you】

"WTF?"

This was the first thought in Chang Ming’s mind.

I thought that being related to the Five Sinners of Kanreya, the Fae Clan, and the Seven Gods was abstract enough, so why is the Witch Society joining in the fun now?

Are you guys from the Witch Society so idle?

At this moment, a rather strange picture flashed through Chang Ming's mind: three witches were sitting around a prototype tea table, looking at the crystal ball in the middle with flashing pictures on it.

In a sense...it seems like I'm being monitored by a group of people again.

Chang Ming pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, as if he had no special thoughts about it.

Anyway, I'm used to being monitored, so it doesn't matter if another group of people comes.

As for the so-called "price"... Based on previous experience, it should be the excessive popularity that I have been unable to use up that is causing the problem.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming shook his head gently, looked at Paimeng who looked worried, and said:

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something from the distant past, and I was absent-minded for a moment."

"Eh? How long is it?"

"Well...about five hundred years ago."

"Eh?!"

Ying and Paimon's eyes widened at the same time, as if they didn't quite understand Chang Ming's words.

"Chang Ming, didn't you appear in Fontaine more than 400 years ago? How do you know what happened more than 500 years ago?"

"That's true, but I am the regent of Fontaine. I have lived in this world long enough, and I also know a lot of...unknown secrets."

Chang Ming smiled mysteriously, then looked at Navelette who was sitting at the desk and asked politely:

"Then Mr. Villette, can you tell them about "that thing"? "

Hearing this, Villette lowered his head slightly, touched his chin, and then nodded slightly.

"no problem."

After getting the permission from Villette, Chang Ming smiled and nodded, then asked:

"Well, then, do you think that the Melusin resembles any species you have seen during your travels?"

"Eh? You suddenly asked me this, so..."

Paimon scratched his little head, as if he was trying his best to think about Chang Ming's question.

Ying suddenly thought of some creatures that appeared in Yuanxia Palace, and then she gently uttered two words:

"Dragon lizard."

"That's right. The essence of Melusin is actually another kind of dragon lizard, and they are the followers of the current Water Dragon King, Mr. Villette."

"But... the Meluseens did not appear out of thin air. They were born from the wounds and blood of Erinus."

"And Erinus was the evil beast that almost destroyed Fontaine, but... just when Fontaine was about to lead the Shadow Hunters to defeat it, it died for unknown reasons."

"Death from unknown cause?"

Paimeng scratched his head, seeming to have difficulty understanding what Chang Ming said.

She had discovered that whenever Chang Ming appeared and talked about something with a long history... her brain would shut down.

"Well! Next time you see Chang Ming, you don't have to think about it. He will think for himself anyway!"

Paimon swore secretly in his heart.

"The cause of death is not important. What is important is that... the essence of Erinus is a monster that contains the power of the abyss."

"So I personally guess that this time the abyss fluctuations may be related to "Erinus". Please...be mentally prepared."

Chang Ming's expression suddenly became serious, and then he said in a rather low voice:

"We may be facing... the resurrection of Erinus."

"Eh???"

......

Jacob looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar land beneath his feet, and an indescribable complexity emerged on his cold face.

"After so many years... I finally set foot on this land again..."

"The blood of Erinus can strengthen my strength. As long as I have a stronger power... I can realize my plan."

"The Abyss Cult? Humph, a bunch of useless trash who don't understand the subtleties of the power of the abyss at all."

"A group of hyenas controlled by power, they don't have their own thoughts at all!"

A look of disdain emerged on Jacob's face, as if he hated the Abyss Cult's style of doing things.

Although he himself was a "deep sin baptist", in Jacob's mind, he was just using the power of the abyss to achieve his own goals.

"Either we 'revitalize' Erinus, or we make full use of its heart and blood..."

"Just wait, one day my plan will succeed, and then nothing will be a problem anymore!"

A crazy smile appeared on Jacob's face, as if he had seen the future he had long imagined.

But soon, that expression disappeared instantly, and he looked thoughtfully in the direction of Fontaine.

Jacob, who became a "new human" with the help of the power of the abyss, naturally has a very keen perception of the power that originates from himself.

He was very clear that there was an extremely strong abyss power in Fontaine, which was not on the same level as him.

But he was not worried at all about this. Instead, he thought it was a good opportunity.

Again, in his eyes, the power of the abyss is just a tool. He is using the abyss, not the abyss using him.

As the saying goes, genius is on the left and madness is on the right. His best friend Rene stood on the left to implement justice, while he chose to stand on the right and became an extremely crazy scholar.

——An abyss scholar who will do anything for his own benefit and plans.
