Chapter 80

It was not surprising that Latio would attack Sora, but it was beyond normal imagination that Latio wiped out the opponent with two chalks - even the second chalk was used because he was worried about the spread of fire - how to say it, Sora's previous expectation of his strength was probably at the level of Godfall Cyno, but when he really saw his overwhelming level of fighting, it was...

Paimon: This is much more outrageous than the weak academics like El Haisen.

Even if Paimon and Sora didn't say anything, Latio could guess the general situation by looking at their expressions - so he even reminded Paimon: strengthening the body is also an important part of improving oneself.

It may be that Paimon's 0.2 wild boar's combat power really refreshed his understanding of the average level of mediocre people: just like the Biffcage that Sora met before, status is status, and strength is strength - like Paimon's self-protection ability, anyway, Latio will not run around with the opponent like Sora.

On the way, apart from the treasure-stealing group delivering food, there was no trouble at all. For Sora, it was a level where he could earn extra money openly. However, Paimon was a little curious about how Latio earned Mora: when passing through the Sunken Jade Valley, Latio would very consciously contract the expenses of Liuhuo - and Liuhuo was originally a money-giving boy, and the cultural relics maintenance fees he earned before were directly invested in the operation of the theme park.

Latio? Knowledge should be circulated and shared, but he can also choose the right buyer for knowledge, even if the pricing power is in the hands of the buyer... Ha, economics.

When leaving the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, Latio was no longer worried about Mora's reserves.

Paimon was not stupid. She understood Latio's brief explanation and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Mond won't receive any commissions during the Wind Flower Festival. I was worried that I would have to camp afterwards..."

If Teyvat also pays attention to the Engel coefficient, then Paimon, who doesn't eat dry bread, and Sora, who can really cook, may often enter the range of extreme poverty.

However, Paimon and his friends, who were originally prepared to enjoy the Wind Flower Festival, felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange after entering Mondstadt. After being reminded of their visit to Catherine, they felt that there were problems everywhere. Oh, but Latio and Liuhuo expressed that they had no interest in the "Knights of Favonius", so Sora and Paimon looked at each other and decided to follow Kaeya to see what was going on.

Anyway... if Liuhuo really wanted to ask for help, the puppet on his shoulder was not just for show.

The undercurrents in Mondstadt were... uh, a bit novel to Liuhuo: how to put it, it was like watching a documentary about some animals and plants that are good at parasitism or camouflage. Whether you are interested or not, the curious content is still quite eye-catching.

But if you ask her if she is interested in participating...

Liuhuo: Three consecutive rejections.jpg

Loving to watch horror movies and wanting to travel into infinite horror are two completely different things.jpg

On the contrary, Latio, who originally had limited knowledge of Teyvat, and this was his first time in Mondstadt, just felt that the actual situation was different from the information he had collected - so he was just on guard.

Even if they are all S intelligence, in fact, people's intelligence is also manifested in different ways - some are good at making strategies, some are used to playing tricks on people, some are focused on academic research... There are even some who only add points to combat intelligence...

In this scenario, Latio is the typical stable faction who observes the development of the situation with a cold eye, creates a turning point at the right time, and finally leaves when the overall situation is determined, and is more than enough to protect himself throughout the process.

Ms. Black Tower, who is also a genius with extraordinary achievements in academic research, has a completely different style of doing things - she is the kind of proactive faction who is used to taking advantage of the action, confident and even narcissistic.

And Screw Gum... To be honest, contrary to the impression given by his gentle and polite words, the logical part of the intelligent machine makes him understand and try to control the overall situation before taking action. It is hard to imagine that he will encounter a situation where he is completely unsure - oh, of course, this statement has to exclude the events at the level of "Star God".

Emm… Anyway, after roughly confirming the "cause" of this deviation, Latio had no intention of taking on too much responsibility to help. Mond's "Knights of Favonius" had already prepared, and he could only provide some humanitarian attention: he would not take the lead.

That being said, the research data of this wonderful individual "Durin" can still be added to the appendix of the travel notes of Teyvat.

Although Latio has seen more worlds than the author has seen dogs, Teyvat can also be called a very unique world - not just that this place is like an inverted cage - to be honest, the degree of civilization development inside is quite limited, but the part outside the cage can be tossed like this...

Even Latio has to admit that if it weren't for the "unknown guest" of the Star Train who took the lead, he would have to spend a lot of effort to find a way to enter Teyvat.

However, the in-depth exploration of Teyvat did encounter some expected obstacles - after Latio talked with a well-known bard, he chose to temporarily put the relevant content on hold in the memorandum.

The young man standing beside Cecilia’s lace didn’t look like an immortal at all… mature—he really was like a drunkard who didn’t do his job properly. He even asked Latio if he had ever tasted dandelion wine at “Angel’s Gift”, but in the end he couldn’t help his human-like curiosity: “…So you really don’t want to write a love poem? The Windflower Festival is a festival of freedom and love…”

Seeing that Latio had no interest in this proposal at all, Wendy plucked the strings of her harp: “Then let’s exchange some stories…”

“…Eh…Really?…But if He didn’t care, shouldn’t you be more proactive?…”

“Hmm? Can this be considered forced?…Your love is really gentler than the evening breeze…”

“…What do you mean by ‘looking forward to the next evening breeze blowing past my ears’…You actually want to write a love poem!”

Latio turned around and left the Star-Picking Cliff—he just honestly stated his thoughts, but didn’t care about the other person’s opinions.

In fact, it was hard for him to say whether this feeling had become a simple "seeking of knowledge" after "Un" became ""flowing" Un".

How could he not feel anything?

Latio used to treat "Un", a fledgling but gifted genius, with patience and appreciation for "future comrades", believing that she would sooner or later become a "companion" standing beside him... But after she became "He", it became a contradictory and unequal "curiosity" and "scrutiny".

Even though they were still called "Vera" and "Un", Latio would occasionally think - ah, how ironic, I was actually looking forward to overthrowing the "non-theism of star gods".

Compared with "natural phenomena", "gods" can actually be regarded as high-quality love objects.

How can people fall in love with a "natural phenomenon"?

But Latio is not the internalized Latio, just like his answer to Wendy: "I will look forward to the next evening breeze blowing past my ears."

He must be a unique and unique view.

So before he closes his eyes, just keep looking at Him.

Liuhuo, who was eating butter matsutake mushrooms in "Deer Hunter", was confused: If you blow the wind while sleeping... humans should get sick, right?

It's hard to say whether you will get sick or not, but as the sky gets darker, I may not be able to continue eating butter matsutake mushrooms in this scene...

These... uh, artificial life affected by the humus power of "Durin" on the snowy mountain? Suddenly started to riot?

And monsters are also gathering in Mondstadt...

These problems certainly can't affect Liuhuo, but they are enough for the staff of "Deer Hunter" to take refuge.

By the way, because Liuhuo was no longer in the shape of a blue-haired cub, Diluk, Kaeya, and Sucrose, who were the first to rush to the square to provide support, did not recognize that he had come to Mondstadt with the Xumi Group.

But this did not prevent Miss Sucrose from getting anxious and wanting to take her to a safe shelter.

Liuhuo unexpectedly remembered Sucrose... well, although she could not remember her name, she did have some impression of Sucrose: after all, Sucrose's teacher Albedo taught her how to use the alchemy table, and she was Cole's new friend. Liuhuo also wrote some answers that were difficult to use as references and put them in the mailbox made by Sucrose...

but this really did not mean that she would follow Sucrose to take shelter.

The staff of "Deer Hunter" left, but the stove was still there - the recipe for fried fish with butter made by Albedo was still on standby in the loose-leaf notebook!

Well, the main reason was that one of the raw materials, the small lamp grass, was a specialty of Mondstadt, and it was really inconvenient for Xumi to buy it.

Sucrose: ...

Diluk and Kaeya had already gone to the main gate to provide support, leaving her alone to watch Liuhuo begin to slowly process the fish meat... Sucrose is even less sociable than Falana, and she was really stunned at this moment - who is she, where is she, and what is she doing now?

This anxious and confused state was not brought to Sucrose's attention until Albedo and Sora arrived to provide support: "It's Liuhuo!"

Paimon had seen Liuhuo save the situation many times, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her frying fish here: "Are you guarding here?"

Liuhuo certainly didn't 'guard'... or she didn't have the subjective intention to do it, but Kaeya and the others had been more ruthless before, and the place was almost cleaned up.

Sucrose: "...Liuhuo? But..."

She looked at Albedo and shook her head: "Now is not the time to think about this..." After

being comforted by Albedo, Sucrose gave up the idea of letting Liuhuo go to take refuge, and immediately devoted herself to the production of alchemical potions, trying to provide more help. Sora, together with Paimon, seriously asked Liuhuo to help if there were monsters that Sucrose could not deal with.

This request was very easy, so Liuhuo nodded directly, without even asking for clarification.

After leaving the square, Albedo asked Sora hesitantly: "Is that the 'Liuhuo' I know?...Is that so...then is she...a human?"

Sora glanced at the puppet on his shoulder: "...Maybe you can get the answer directly from her?"

Albedo smiled: Sora's answer has already proved his guess.
