When Sinoning returned to the workshop, he discovered that there had been quite a few visitors during his absence.

But the only one who has an appointment should be Katsina.

Sinonin recognized Sitrali in the crowd.

Sometimes, Cintrali would come to her workshop to buy ore.

According to her, some minerals can be ground into powder and made into edible medicine to help her with divination and sacrifice.

Although Sinoning himself had many interactions with her.

But it was limited to normal communication, and she never asked the other party to tell fortunes for her.

She was not interested in things that had not yet happened, and she had enough to worry about in the present.

Instead of worrying about the future, it’s better to find a big tree to sleep under.

Speaking of sleeping, feeling sleepy during the divination ceremony is one of the reasons why Sinoning refuses such affairs.

If I really fell asleep, I would nod my head like pounding garlic.

That's so disrespectful.

The rest were all members of the tribe, who probably came to Xinoning to inspect their equipment for the [Holy Night of Return to Fire] event.

The only thing Xinoning couldn't recognize was the white-haired boy dressed in Liyue costume.

This person, of course, is Mu Yang.

To explain how Mu Yang accurately found Xinoning's workshop, we have to go back a little bit in time.

After Mu Yang sent Jade back to Aru Village, he sprinted through the desert again.

After a period of trekking, we finally saw the strange-shaped mountains.

There are also various graffiti on it.

"I guess this is Nata."

Mu Yang walked along the path and found that the species of flora and fauna in Nata seemed unexpectedly rich.

It doesn't seem like a country at war.

It is consistent with other people's comments: Nata is suitable for tourism.

Such a contrast made Mu Yang more interested, but now he seemed to be quite far away from the city.

Mu Yang jumped to the highest mountain around.

The mountains here are also very strange, very square.

But it did not prevent Mu Yang from climbing up and looking far into the distance.

He surveyed the grounds and spotted another path that led deeper into the canyon.

And as the road gets closer to the canyon, the graffiti on the stone walls becomes more and more abundant.

It seems that it is the right path to go.

Mu Yang came down from the mountain and walked along the path.

This Nata seems a little different from what I imagined.

These graffiti on the stone walls are so trendy.

He had only one impression of Nata - Ianshan in "Footprints".

That little girl was clearly wearing tribal clothes.

Why is Nata's culture so trendy?

Before he could figure out what was going on, Mu Yang felt an unknown creature rushing towards him.

And it seems... in the mountains?

"Is there something moving in the stone wall?"

Mu Yang retreated cautiously, ready to draw his sword to fight, but he heard a weak girl's voice.

"Ayu, stop now~"

However, this man called 'Ayu' showed no intention of stopping.

Its breath was getting closer and closer to Mu Yang, then it broke out of the ground and rushed towards Mu Yang.

Not realizing the other party's malicious intentions, Mu Yang did not draw his sword, but instead grabbed the strange creature with one hand.

Mu Yang's first impression of this guy named 'Ayu' was that he came out of the cartoon he watched as a child.

Apart from the color, it does look a bit like Gabumon from Digimon.

Mu Yang grabbed it with one hand, and from the look of it, it didn't seem to want to attack Mu Yang.

It's about expressing goodwill.

"Sorry, sorry, Ayu, I hope it has caused you trouble..." The little girl ran over breathlessly.

Keep apologizing to Mu Yang.

Mu Yang returned Ayou to her and said that he was fine.

I was just startled by the suddenness.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on. Although Ayu likes to make trouble, he won't be rude to people outside the tribe..."

After she finished speaking, she took a look at Mu Yang's outfit.

This is no longer just about people outside the tribe.

It seems that they are traveling merchants from other countries.

What should I do? Will it have a bad influence on others?

Could it be that I have damaged the reputation of the Son of Echo and Nata?

Seeing that the other party's face was beginning to look ugly, Mu Yang took the initiative to introduce himself.

He said he was fine, just arrived and was curious about many things in Nata.

I hope the girl in front of me can introduce her to someone, for example, starting with Ayew.

Seeing that Mu Yang had no intention of pursuing the matter, the girl calmed down.

"Hello, Mr. Muyang, I am Katsina, Ushaboti (strong) Katsina."

"Ushaboti?"

"Ah, this is an [ancient name], a very unique culture here. It's a bit complicated to explain, so just think of it as a title that has been passed down."

Katsina was a little shy. "You are here to watch the [Holy Night Parade of Returning Fire], right? Then you will soon know the meaning of the [ancient name]."

There were more and more nouns that he had never heard of, and Mu Yang pretended to nod.

"In that case, let's talk about Ayu first. What is it?"

Mu Yang finally understood from Katsina's answer.

It turns out that this is Nata's unique dragon culture.

Nata is also known as the Kingdom of Dragons.

Each clan has its own dragon companion.

The cute crested dragon is the companion of [Sons of Echo] where Katsina is.

The history of the symbiosis between the Echoson and the Ridgedrake can be traced back hundreds of years.

Nowadays, people have become accustomed to working, living and establishing partnerships with Ridge Dragon.

This means that to the Sons of Echo, dragons are different from livestock whose life and death are controlled by humans, nor are they pets whose emotions are controlled by humans. They have an equal status with humans.

Most of the ridge dragons form bonds with humans voluntarily, like Ayu and Katsina.

The nests of the Ridge Dragons are not far from the settlement of the Sons of Echo. Because they live close to each other, people and dragons meet each other all the time. Everyone treats them as friendly neighbors and doesn't find it strange to meet them occasionally.

While Katsina was taking Mu Yang to the Echo Sons tribe, she told him the story of her encounter with Ayu.

During this time, Ayu kept circling around Mu Yang.

This surprised Katsina.

Ayu rarely shows such enthusiasm to people he meets for the first time.

Even Katsina herself took a long time to make Ayew remember her.

During that period, young Katsina often met a sturdy little Crested Dragon at the fork in the road leading to the mining area.

To Katsina, these honest neighbors are worthy of greetings, so she would say "hello" to them every time.

As time went by, the little crested dragon seemed to remember her, and slowly she began to meet it on more and more occasions.

When they went to the open space in the wild to practice dancing, when they went to pick berries, when they went to fish in the river, after so many times, they would not only greet each other, but sometimes also give each other gifts.

Katsina didn't need to bother proving her worth to it, nor did she need to provide it with unique rewards; they just got along well and stayed together often.

Until one day, the little Ridge Dragon naturally followed Katsina to her home, and from then on became a partner of Katsina's family, and was given the name "Ayu" by Katsina.

All of this is natural, just as fish are destined to live in water and birds are destined to fly in the sky.

"Isn't this story too boring?" Katsina asked.

Compared to those ups and downs of heroic legends, this story is as plain as water.

Katsina was worried that Mu Yang would feel bored.

Mu Yang smiled faintly, "It's very warm, it reminds me of my encounters and acquaintances with my friends, it was also so natural."

"That's good." Katsina also smiled.

Mu Yang once again used a white lie to protect the child's smile.

Back then, if Fu Jin hadn't stood in the way, he would have fought with Ling Yuan...
