Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"Woo! Chang Ming, you're finally awake! What on earth is going on?"

Paimeng flew back and forth beside Chang Ming as he spoke, with anxiety almost written on his face.

Chang Ming stood up from the ground in silence, gently patted the dust off his clothes, then turned to look at Ying beside him and said softly:

"What did you see just now?"

Hearing this, Ying frowned slightly, and tried hard to recall everything he had just seen in the so-called dream, and then said:

"...a magnificent palace, some tall stone armor, some strangely dressed white puppets, and some kind of machine called "Great Music"... "

Having said this, Ying paused for a moment, and then continued to ask:

"Is it related to the ruins we found outside Fontaine?"

"Yes, everything you just saw... is the "echo" of the Lemurian Dynasty."

Chang Ming nodded slightly, agreeing with Ying's statement, and a smile appeared on his face at the same time.

"I was right. With the presence of you, the adventer, the iceberg that was originally submerged in the water suddenly floated up."

"Then next...we should change our way of thinking to deal with this matter."

As Chang Ming spoke, he looked towards the slightly dilapidated fishing village in the distance. He seemed to be thinking about his next plan, or as if he was... waiting for something.

"Change your thinking? What kind of thinking should we change? Do we need to go deeper into this place to investigate? This kind of thing is too weird!"

Perhaps because of the precedent of both of them fainting, Paimon had a very strong desire to resist entering Petliko Town to explore further.

After all, there is something in here that can make Chang Ming faint——

and many more?

So what did Chang Ming see when he fainted just now?

Thinking of this, Paimeng immediately crossed his arms, looked at Chang Ming suspiciously and asked:

"By the way, Chang Ming, didn't you faint just now? Ying saw those things in Lemuria, what about you?"

"Me? Of course I saw things related to me. Remember the last time I told you... that Boethius wanted to take over my body?"

"Eh? It seems... that's true, but wasn't he expelled by that Shadow Hunter named Cardosio?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming's mouth twitched involuntarily. Sometimes he really admired Paimon's memory and naming ability.

"...his name is Cassiodoro, not Cardosio..."

When people get a name wrong it's either because they can't remember it or the name they say is completely unrelated.

Paimon is better. Not only can she do the first two points, but she can also say the names word for word correctly. It’s just that the order of arrangement is a bit confusing.

"Never mind. Don't you want to know what I saw? To put it simply... I saw hope of regaining my own power here."

Chang Ming spread his hands slightly, and then walked towards the interior of Petlico Town on his own.

"What do you mean by taking back your power? Hey! Chang Ming, wait for us!!"

......

Perhaps because it was late, there was almost no one in Petrich Town.

——At least the three of them didn’t see anyone along the way.

This place is like a half-abandoned border town. No one cares about it at all, but the lights on and the slight breath of life show that there are still people here.

"Ah... I always feel like this place is so weird... Ying, Chang Ming, are you feeling unwell? Or should we leave right away?"

Paimon said with some fear.

After all, her combat power is almost zero. If they really encounter danger... their safety is really hard to guarantee.

Hearing this, Chang Ming and Ying looked at each other subconsciously, and they both saw a hint of helplessness on each other's faces.

Chang Ming took out two or three purple badges from his pocket and handed them to Paimeng, who was standing beside him, and said seriously:

"Here, this thing allows us to completely lose consciousness... so that you can have some self-protection ability."

"Ouch! Why are you still carrying this kind of bomb with you?"

Paimon looked at the purple emblem and seemed to remember what happened last time inside Erinath.

But at the same time, a rather cute red figure flashed through her mind. That little guy also carried a bomb with him...

"Does it mean that anyone who has used a bomb will always carry it with them?"

Paimon couldn't help but think so.

Although a little scared, Paimon still took the purple badge from Chang Ming.

If there really is a treasure of Lemuria here, and they withdraw because of some unexpected situation... wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Watching Paimon take the badge, Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then walked towards the center of Petlico Town.

Dang Dang Dang Dang——

As a clear bell rang out in the town of Petliko, Ying instantly drew out her edgeless sword and stared at her surroundings vigilantly, fearing that there might be an ambush here.

Chang Ming gently shook his head at her, pointed to the center of Petricho Town and said softly:

"Let's go there and have a look."

......

When the three arrived at the center of Petliko Town... they only saw a well-dressed Fontaine man standing in front of a bell, with a strange red halo flickering around his head.

He had his back to the crowd, so for a moment they couldn't tell what this man was like.

Just as Chang Ming and Ying were thinking about how to deal with this matter, the man who had his back to them turned around instantly with a... smile on his face.

But against the backdrop of the red halo surrounding his head, this smile seemed particularly creepy.

"Welcome, travelers through the land of dreams."

"I am the bell ringer of the bell tower at the intersection, and I am also the guide who welcomes travelers into the great "Eternal City."

"As long as you enter the Eternal City and Machimos, everyone can receive the protection of the Great Supreme and enjoy the glory of immortality!"

Looking at the man in front of her, Ying frowned slightly, then looked at Chang Ming in confusion, as if she wanted him to explain it to her.

"Hey Chang Ming... Is this way of speaking a local custom?"

"never heard of that."

Chang Ming's expression was also somewhat solemn. As someone who was invaded by Phobos, he knew the current situation of these people.

——They were all hypnotized.
