Genshin Impact: Emperor

"Talulah, my Tallulah, you are so cute."

"One can be two and three can't be three! Who will allow you... um..."

The two people by the river did not notice that at the entrance of the village, Alina, who was looking for Tallulah and left the bonfire party, personally witnessed all this.

Chapter 24 Tricking You

Zhong Li left.

He went south through the sparse woods.

Talula watched his figure disappear, raised her hand to stroke her lips, her complexion complicated.

Why...my heart is beating so fast.

Why in my heart, I don't really want him to go away.

I do not understand.

Tallulah stood by the river for a long while, until the brilliance of the moon was obscured by clouds and the stream of light on the small river dissipated, then she turned and wanted to go back to the village.

The blurred sighs followed the white mist and turned into nothingness in the air.

She walked forward silently with her head down, and she suddenly realized that apart from being a magician, an executioner, the head of the gendarmerie, a noble officer, the daughter of a duke, the leader of the infected, she was also an only girl.

She is not yet of age.

She recalled the words left by Zhongli when she finally left:

"Today is your birthday. Although you forget it every year, I haven't. Unfortunately, I have nothing to give you now. Just now

kiss,

Consider it a gift.

How could anyone take this as a gift?

It's not as good as the cake you spent time making in the past few years, although I have never eaten it in front of you...

Don't think about it, now is not the time to think about it, it's better to think about it, how to deal with the infected pickets who are starting to be vigilant, and how to get in touch with the 830 infected guerrillas.

According to the clues of other infected people in the city, they seem to be around the abandoned outpost near Schulatzburg, which was once the territory of the Baron of Neva Mountain. Unfortunately, they were defeated in the great rebellion and divided up the territory by the Royalist Party and the First Army. …

Talula suddenly stopped thinking, she finally saw the white-haired deer stopping at the entrance of the village, her blue eyes were still clear and shining even at night, like extremely bright sapphires.

"Talulah, where have you been?"

Alina trotted forward, smiling as always.

"It's just a walk by the small river to relax, it's nothing."

"Really? But I've seen it all."

"See what...?"

Tallulah thought badly in her heart, seeing Alina's soft expression turned bitter.

"I saw you hugging and kissing a strange man."

U”

? ? ?

"You didn't resist."

"So, who is he?"

? ? ?

Tallulah felt cold sweat dripping down her back, as if someone had pressed an ice blade against her neck.

"If you don't tell me, I can guess it. He is not an infected person, not an infected person in our village. He wears clothes that only upper-class people in the city would have; who can be so friendly to you as an infected person , I can't think of another normal guy; he just popped out of nowhere; you know who I'm talking about."

"...Why don't you suspect that I am secretly colluding with the people in the city?"

"You're not that kind of person."

Alina stared at her who was silent for a while, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Is that so? Mr. Zhongli."

But unlike in the past, the voice of reply has not come yet.

Alina rolled her eyes and smiled lightly.

But Talula only felt that she was a little scary at this moment.

"That...Alina, I just realized now that your eyelashes are quite long."

"You have a big heart too."

"...Alina, I'm sorry."

Alina's eyes made her a little unbearable, Tallulah looked away and apologized cautiously.

"Why do you have to apologize? You don't have to apologize. Although it's disgusting to be with your own teacher, what makes me even more angry is why you didn't let Mr. Zhongli meet with me, and sent him away to something place? "

Tallulah let out a sigh of relief, although she also felt a little baffled, as if a stone had been hanging in her heart.

"It turned out that Alina was angry that I didn't let Zhongli say goodbye to you. In fact, I made this decision after careful consideration. Zhongli himself was incompatible with the infected, and his temperament and self-cultivation couldn't be covered up no matter what. Yes, so, I didn't intend to let him meet you, but let him go to Kazdale..."

"Kazdel? In that war-torn land where mercenaries are prevalent, are you persecuting Mr. Zhongli?!"

Tallulah quickly explained: "No, no, don't look at him as weak and weak, although he has just erased the black snake consciousness in my mind and recovered less than half of his strength, but the means of manipulating Originium skills is much more powerful than that. I don’t give up too much, I learned my swordsmanship from him, he is not a teacher who only knows about heaven, earth and humanities (dace), but a man who is good at literature and martial arts... an important minister of the country."

Alina's expression softened, "Although I don't know if what you said is true... but I can only trust you, but you sent him to Kazdel alone, you really didn't deliberately make things difficult for him?"

"No."

Tallulah answered firmly, but felt guilty for a while.

Alina, forgive me for deceiving you once.

In fact, she had never seen Zhongli fight anyone before, and as the grand duke of the empire, there was no time when he needed to do it. Rather, it was a sign that his duchy was in great crisis.

The origin stone skill that condensed her body before can be said to be one of the few times when she witnessed his ability with her own eyes, but Tallulah was not worried that he would be hostile in Ursas territory.

No troublemaker would make it difficult for him to dress like a clan lord.

But after Ursus... she didn't know.

This is also a test for him.

Tallulah thought so.

"Why let Mr. Zhongli go to Kazdale.

"He went there voluntarily. He had a relationship with the Sarkaz mercenary group in the past, and wanted to use it for his own use to strengthen our team."

"How soon will you be back?"

"...although Ursus is vast, the neighbors are not far away, maybe two or three months."

"Okay, I believe you."

Alina nodded, just when Tallulah thought the matter was over, she heard her indifferent voice:

"If you lie to me about the teacher, Tallulah, I will break with you."

Tallulah understood what Alina meant. Alina didn't mean to break with her completely. Alina would still support her movement to integrate the infected and carry the banner of reform with her. She just wanted to show that , her personal anger towards Tallulah and her personal love for Zhongli.

"Let's go, go back to the village, today is a good day."

Alina smiled and took her hand, Tallulah was startled and followed her without saying a word.

What a day, what a terrible day!It should be in a hidden place without letting Alina know.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhongli would be so young. Although he looked at it from a distance, he seemed to be very good-looking. No wonder you didn't want me to see him. Is it because you are afraid that I will be tempted?

He and Alina entered their room, listening to her casual chat, Tallulah groaned in her heart, and when she was about to say something, Alina pushed her on the chair and ran to the back room to find some Varied

What.

"Just kidding, Dangdang—today is your birthday."

She placed the gorgeously decorated cake on the table, and clumsily inserted small candles one by one, a total of 18.

Tallulah was stunned, and there was only one possibility for the cake that appeared in front of her eyes—he conjured it up.She had seen him use this kind of spell before, saying it was magic from another world.

Who would believe it, idiot...

Alina lit the fire and said:

"Mr. Zhongli said,

Today is your birthday, I planned to give you a surprise tonight,

we celebrated together,

But in the end... forget it,

since

Be happy when it's your birthday, Tallulah, happy birthday!欵?Don’t cry, I’m going to cry too if you’re like this... woo..."

The faint light of the beating candles filled the whole room, but the two who should have congratulated each other embraced and cried.

Tonight is bound to be long,

Just because the two of them couldn't sleep peacefully.

Chapter 25 Shura Field

One month after leaving the northwestern tundra of Ursus, he passed through the tundra and wilderness, passed through cities and villages, and arrived at the mercenary camp in Sarkaz in the north.

Although he can fly with a sword, most of the time, in order to avoid being discovered by interested people, except for the uninhabited wasteland, he basically crosses Ursas on foot and with the help of a transport team.

Kazdel is very different from Ursus. Although both are powerful forces and empires on the continent of Terra, Kazdel has been engaged in civil war for a long time, and most of today's Kazdel has long been established

into ruins.
