Genshin Impact: Emperor

The ground is covered with red leaves, and under the dim light of the hanging lanterns, there is a blurred twilight in the night.

— a rather poignant scene.

"...The practice of Kanding is really pedantic, it must be rotten to the bone, alas, if there is not Mr. Zhongli's token, I can't do anything about these ashigaru."

Thomas glanced at Zhongli who was admiring the cherry blossoms, shrugged helplessly, and looked at Ying and Paimon who showed curiosity.

"Okay, it's time to meet honestly. I know that you must have a lot of questions in your heart. Ask whatever you want."

"Of course Princess Egret!"

Ying stared straight at Zhongli, and Thomas teased and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I'm straight to the point. Before explaining Mr. Zhongli's position in the society, let me introduce myself again..."

"No, it's not necessary. I don't want to hear this. Don't waste my precious time. Just talk to Mr. Zhongli."

"... Traveler, give me some face!"

A series of refusals made Thomas want to cry, and Ying saw him pitifully nodding in agreement, "Okay then, I'll give you three seconds."

"Hey, I belong to the Kamisato family that the Narugami Island Society pursues. In Liyue's words, I belong to the retainers who are servants of Princess Bailu."

Thomas explained his identity with extremely fast speech, and Paimon put on his hips and said with an appearance that I knew a long time ago:

"I guessed it a long time ago, but you actually hid your real identity. You are really unkind."

"So the Kamiri family is mainly in charge of what (dace)?"

"The Shenli family that the society pursues is currently in charge of sacrificial activities and humanities and arts. However, I don't know many specific responsibilities."

Thomas shrugged, and glanced at Zhong Li in front of Ema, "I was only fortunate to be taken in by the Kamisato family, and finally became the eldest lady of the Kamisato family who bears the reputation of Princess Egret—the daughter of Ayaka Kamisato. servant."

"Princess Bailu... Judging from the two people who have been assigned to pursue the mission just now, it seems that Daozuma is a very famous person."

"Hahaha, that's natural."

Thomas nodded in affirmation of Paimon's thoughts, "The dignified and kind-hearted Miss Shenli has always been loved by the rice wife people, and her reputation even surpasses that of the current Patriarch, that is, her brother—— Shenli Ayato After all, Ms. Kamisato has always treated a servant like me as an equal friend, and this is how gentle people are treated with kindness."

"Then what's the matter with your identity as a local snake? Could it be that Miss Shenli arranged all this?"

Ying wondered and asked.

"That's the point. To be honest, if possible, I don't want to lie to you. You can't pretend to be a local snake. It took me a whole month to get along with the people on the whole island." At the same time, I made friends with Big Sister Beidou."

Paimon was thoughtful, "One month, this kind of social ability is amazing, I feel a sense of déjà vu."

"Hey, so to speak, you are very similar to a friend of mine... Tell me, what is your relationship with Kaiya!"

Ying pointed at Thomas with a look of "there is only one truth" and "I see through you", and Thomas spread his hands and smiled:

"I don't know Kaiya from the Knights, I just have a little bit of talent, and it's all for the first time, to get in touch with you. Even if there is a lock-up order, but all your deeds in Mond and Liyue, It has also reached the ears of many Daozuma, and after Miss Shenli heard that you intend to come to Daozuma, she has been looking forward to your arrival, and at the same time she is also looking forward to one by one."

"Expect what?"

Thomas smiled wryly, glanced at Zhongli, and said to Ying and Paimon quietly: "I'm looking forward to seeing whether you have a close relationship with Mr. Zhongli at the Pastoral Hall as rumored. Miss Shenli heard that you

We have been serving Mr. Zhongli in Liyue and have mastered a lot of his secrets, so I want to pry some information from you!

"Oh, that's it, Ms. Kamisato has me in her heart!

Ying patted her chest and raised her head proudly,

"It's a good feeling to be cared about by others—if it's not the idea of ​​a tool man.

Yingzhang pulled his face and snorted angrily.

Thomas shrugged amusedly. .

Chapter Ten—Discovering Identity

"Miss Kamisato is too unreliable!

Paimon also defended Ying, right? ""Let me tell you, Thomas, if I know a lot about Zhongli, will I be able to get a lot of benefits from Linghua?"One message ten thousand moras or something

Thomas nodded again and again, "Okay, of course!"

"That's not right! Paimon you? How dare you betray me?"

Ying squeezed the face of Paimeng who was sneaky and wanted to exchange information with Thomas, Paimeng muttered, "I didn't betray you, I betrayed Zhongli!"

"Mr. Zhongli is mine! To betray Mr. Zhongli is to betray-me!"

Ying glared at Pamon, conveying to her the possessiveness contained in the golden pupils.

"Hey, Ying is so bold, then do you dare to tell Zhong Li?"

"Shut up, shut up!"

Ying covered Paimon's mouth and carried her into her arms. Thomas shrugged incomprehensibly as he watched the two people's eye contact.

"Actually, I was just joking just now. What Miss Shenli is looking forward to is whether you have

The power to change the situation.

"Changing the current situation? I always feel that this is a lie..."

Looking at Thomas with narrowed eyes, Thomas nodded and said, "I'm not lying. Regarding the test just now, although there were some small episodes at the end, as Mr. Zhongli said, it was you who finally grasped the twist.

The opportunity of the situation, cleverly maneuvering among the forces, taking advantage of the flaws in the hearts of the people.Just as Miss imagined. "

Thomas murmured in his heart, this is both, so it cannot be said to be lying, after all, the lady did not expect that Mr. Zhongli would come uninvited and go hand in hand with the traveler.

"Hehe, Mr. Thomas is really eloquent. If I'm not wrong, how can I help you next?"

"Cough, cough!"

Thomas barely caught his breath. With Ying rolling his eyes, he bit the bullet and continued, "Anyway, with your help, Eye Hunting Order will..."

"I reject."

"...Unexpected development, it seems that there is a problem with the intelligence."

Thomas smiled wryly and glanced at Zhongli as if nothing happened. Zhongli, who was enjoying the view of the cherry blossoms alone, occasionally had a woman pass by and chatted up him, and then he casually chatted up a few words. His decent demeanor quickly made the woman linger .

He shook his head helplessly, thinking that if Mr. Zhongli wasn't around, the matter wouldn't have progressed to the present point, and he felt that...everything is not following the young lady's route.

"My purpose is just to meet General Thunderbolt."

Ying once again emphasized her purpose.

"Well, I understand this very well. I also promised that I will provide you with a way... In short, my mission on the outlying island is barely completed. It's time to go back and report to the lady. By the way, this invitation letter is for

You, although Mr. Zhongli has Miss' personal token,

U!

You can go anywhere, but Ms. Ying, you may not be able to rely on Mr. Zhongli all the time. It is always good to have a little more security... When you come to Mingshen Island

, you can go to Mule Teahouse and come to me according to the above.

Thomas took out the invitation letter from his arms and presented it, and when Ying reached out to take it, she waved her hand and prepared to say goodbye: "Then goodbye, I wish you all the best."

"Hey, wait, you haven't said what is Zhongli's relationship with Linghua? What is his status in the Shenli family?"

Just as Ying wanted to speak out, Paimeng had already asked Thomas in a hurry. Ying shook his head and thought, Paimeng has been paying more and more attention to Mr. Zhongli recently, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"That's right, my brain, I almost forgot."

Thomas patted his head and smiled apologetically, Paimon pouted, "I don't think you want to talk about it, Thomas."

"It was seen."

Thomas admitted frankly, hesitated for a while and then said softly: "Actually, I don't really want to talk about it... It would be better for Mr. Zhongli to say it himself, but since you asked, then I will briefly say a few words about this matter, Mr. Zhongli identity... You can just understand it. In short, this matter is the current situation. Because of this identity problem, I can only say a few words...

Maybe you don't understand it very well, but that's what it means. My identity is hard to know, so there's no need to guess...I just want to say that I understand everything about this kind of thing, and I don't know what I don't understand. Explain more, after all, it’s good that you know it, let’s taste it carefully.

Don't ask me what's going on, there are too many interests involved, and it's not good for you or me if you talk too much, just pretend you don't know... For the rest, I can only say that the water is very deep, and many things are involved. It is difficult for you to find the detailed information yourself. Most people in the land of Daofu don’t know about it, so I can only say that I understand everything. If I don’t understand, you still don’t understand, so it’s still the same sentence If you know what you know, it’s useless for me to say what you don’t understand, as long as you understand it in your heart.

This matter, in the final analysis, the situation is very obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, so I hope you can solve this problem yourself..."

???0 ask for flowers..

Paimon's eyes turned into circles, "...what the hell is Thomas talking about? Why do I know every word, I know every word, but I can't understand every word, I feel confused, I feel

Scared, I feel scared, I feel like a clown, the last time I felt this way was when Xiangling asked Paimon if it tasted good. "

"Can you understand what Thomas is saying?"

Facing Paimon's mind full of questions, Ying shrugged and said, "Well, I've already read between the lines that this guy thinks the two of us are fools.

"Damn Thomas!"

"Oh, no, no, the two ladies are a little bit more sympathetic."

Thomas's face was covered with sweat, and seeing Paimon's fury, he actually felt a gnawing pressure, he hastily added: "Mr. Zhongli was Miss Shenli's teacher when she was young, and he taught her kendo and tea.

Art, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing, piano and chess are also guided. He can be regarded as a guest of the Shenli family. In short, the Shenli family and the head of the family all respect Mr. Zhongli.

"Oh, that's right, it makes sense!"

Paimon nodded his head in satisfaction, but Ying was thoughtful, "I always feel that Thomas just told the innocuous information, the tip of the iceberg was revealed, and the rest didn't say it?

"Uh, this... It can only be said that the beholder sees the benevolence, listen to my advice, the water here is too deep, you can't grasp it.

Thomas looked away, afraid that Ying would continue to ask, waved his hands and left at the speed of light, "Anyway, see you next time, Traveler! Say goodbye to Mr. Zhongli for me!

Paimon stared at the direction where Thomas was leaving, and tilted his head in doubt, "Won't Thomas say goodbye to Zhongli himself? Really. It's time for us to move on. As long as we keep moving forward, the road will continue to extend."

"It just doesn't feel right..."

"Oh? What does Ying mean?"

"Foreigners cannot leave the outlying islands."

Paimon woke up like a dream, "Yes! We were tricked by Thomas again! Oh, I'm so angry! I said why he left so simply, it turned out that he ran away!"

Paimon stomped his little feet angrily,

"When we get out of the outlying islands and go to the Mulou teahouse, we must settle accounts with him! Fortunately, we have Zhongli here, and Zhongli has a token from the young lady of the Shebushin Shenli family in his hand, otherwise it will be true.

What's more, I can't get out of this outlying island... 欵?What about Zhongli? ! "At.

Chapter 12 tricolor group

Just as Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his eyes to the direction where Zhongli was standing before, but he was nowhere to be seen.

She suddenly looked at Ying in a panic.

"Mr. Zhongli's breath is still there! Calm down, Paimon!"
