Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing Chang Ming's question, Paimeng pouted his lips in dissatisfaction, as if he was not happy with Chang Ming's trance state.

But she didn't say much about it. She then shook her hand and said with a little dissatisfaction:

"Of course we have to unlock the seals one by one! Aren't there still so many golems in the water? If we alarm them, won't we be in trouble?"

"That's right, then shall we start removing the seal?"

While Chang Ming was providing Paimon with the emotional value of "You are very useful, thanks to you", he looked at Cassiodore standing beside him, as if he was indicating something.

Cassiodoro sighed slightly, as if he was somewhat helpless about the current situation.

After all...from his personal feelings, he absolutely did not want to release Scylla, the last straw that would destroy Lemuria.

However, things have come to this point, and there is no point in worrying about it. The only consideration is "minimizing losses."

Thinking of this, Cassiodoro continued to flash forward, heading towards the location of the first seal.

"Come on, let's break the seal, and then...bring back the souls of those on earth."

Looking at Cassiodore flashing forward, Paimon blinked in confusion.

"Cassiodore... looks like he has something on his mind?"

"That's not worry, that's the relief after the entanglement."

Chang Ming said calmly.

"Relieved?"

"Well, from what I know about history, in the final battle between the Lemurians and the Fontaine people, the dragon lizard army that originally belonged to the Lemurian camp suddenly switched sides and began to indiscriminately attack friendly forces."

"Although it was sealed in the end, the consequences of the Dragonborn's betrayal were irreversible and became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Lemuria."

"As a Lemurian, do you think Cassiodorus is really willing to release Scylla?"

"Uh... I wouldn't be willing to do that if it were me..."

"That's it."

Chang Ming spread his hands and then swam towards the direction where Cassiodoro was flashing.

Ying looked at Chang Ming's gradually receding back and touched his chin thoughtfully.

Things...seem a little confusing?

......

Just as Chang Ming and others were working on unlocking Scylla's three seals, Columbia found Arlecino.

She looked at her colleague, pursed her lips, and asked in her usual ethereal voice:

"So, up to now, we haven't found out what the so-called "Emissary of God" is, right?"

In response, Alechino said nothing, but just nodded slightly to show his approval.

"As expected...things related to Sky Island and information related to the real God are all elusive and difficult to investigate."

Columbia shook her head slightly, and then asked softly:

"Then in your eyes, what kind of person is the regent, Mr. Chang Ming?"

"what kind of person?"

Alechino was slightly stunned. As someone who dealt directly with Chang Ming, she had never thought about this question.

After pondering for a while, she raised her head slightly, looked through the window at the gradually darkening sky, and said softly:

"He is thoughtful and considerate, and will never question himself because of changes in external conditions. He is also a very loving person."

"Of course, the most important thing is that he is very strong. Very strong."

"Then is there any similarity between the abyssal power in him and the flame born from your curse?"

"No."

Alechino said this with certainty, but seemed to feel that this description was not specific enough, and continued to add:

"To be more precise, the power he possesses is a whole level higher than what I possess."

"His power can contain my flames, but my flames cannot break through the barrier he created."

“That’s probably how it feels.”

After hearing what Alechino said, Columbia lowered her head slightly and thought for a while, then she smiled softly.

"I think... I know what "God's Messenger" means."

"What does it mean?"

“Change and Creation.”

Columbia smiled and uttered a riddle that only she could understand, then slowly stood up and continued:

"Let's continue to build a good relationship with Fontaine. I have a feeling that Chang Ming's power will be of great help to us in the future."

"The purpose of the creation of fairies is to guide humans, and he and I are both fairies, so... our paths are the same."

"I wish you a happy Shadow Festival~ I'll go first~"

After saying that, Columbia disappeared in the room, and only the cup of hot tea placed in front of her seat indicated that someone had been here.

Looking at the steam rising from the teacup in front of her, Alechino's eyes became deep, as if she was thinking about something.

"Change and creation..."

"If it is simply the power of the abyss, then I am afraid I will never believe these two words, but if it is him..."

“Maybe it can be done.”

......

Under the guidance of a local man named Cassiodoro, Chang Ming and Ying quickly untied the three seals that bound Scylla.

As the last seal was lifted, cracks began to appear on Scylla's body, and then it shattered like glass.

bang——

With an expected crisp sound, the layer of crystals instantly disintegrated into a few spots of light, and the Dragon Prince Scylla also revealed his original appearance.

woo-

There was another long cry, but unlike the sad sound they had heard before, this time the sound was joyful.

"Ohhhh! What a warm current this is! I am free at last!"

Scylla's old voice spread across the Sea of ​​Old Time, expressing the joy in his heart.

After the joy, he noticed the few people who had just swam to his side.

"Hmm? Little creature, are you from the ground? Although I don't know why you came to this cage in the deep water..."

Before Scylla finished speaking, Paimon said excitedly:

"We are not little creatures! It's just that you, the big guy, are too big!"

"Haha, good! Anyway, since you have removed the shackles that have bound me for a thousand years, you have done me a favor."

"If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. I'll take it as a token of my gratitude."

As it spoke, it looked at the people in front of it, finally stopping at Cassiodore.

"Ah, Cassiodore, it's you. I haven't seen you for a long time. You're back. It's a pity that you came back a little too late... a thousand years late!"

"I have nothing to say to a shameless traitor like you!"
