Explorer of Teyvat

In Xumi City,

Hundreds of enlightened butterflies fly around heavy clouds,

When Chongyun gave the order,

These butterflies spread their wings and flew to every corner of Xumi City.

Chongyun's method of controlling butterflies impressed many people.

"Wow, Chongyun, you are so awesome. You can actually control butterflies." Several girls were not interested in the competition, but they were very interested in butterflies.

Think about it, how many girls can resist the beautiful scene of being surrounded by butterflies.

As a result, Chongyun quickly changed from a favorable competitor in the competition to a human flesh attraction manufacturing machine.

At the begging of the girls,

Chongyun once again inspired a group of butterflies and helped the girls take photos.

Not only the girls in the Liyue team, but also many tourists and local girls came closer.

In addition to the girls who liked butterflies, there were also several men who were looking around and stopped, as if they were curious about Chongyun's technique.

And Chongyun is a person who is not good at rejection.

Ever since,

Chongyun started to get busy,

Only Xingqiu looked at the men looking around, frowning slightly.

His many years of experience in the world told him that these people were not good people.

However, Xingqiu didn't say anything, he just quietly approached, flipped his hand, and nailed a button-sized mechanical device to one of them's clothes.

at the same time,

On the high platform of the celebration,

With a smile on her lips, Keqing was introducing Chongyun's methods to the people.

"Contestant Chongyun is a unique alchemist in Liyue. His mission is to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits. The talismans he uses are a means of enlightening mountain elves. Alchemists often use this method when tracking monsters in the wild. It’s also a very good way to use it now to find Swift Flying Butterflies.”

Listening to Keqing's introduction, the people in the audience nodded.

They don't know what a magician is, but they know that those who exorcise evil spirits and ward off evil spirits are probably good people.

Then Chongyun is a good person, and no one would hate a good person.

Listening to the positive discussion among the people in the audience,

The smile on Keqing's face became even bigger,

During this Qiaolingyuan celebration, the Qiaolingyuan invited envoys from these countries to come over, hoping that foreign countries would know more about Xumi.

But when these envoys came to Sumeru, they wanted to let the Sumeru people know more about their country.

Understanding each other is the prerequisite for mutual communication.

Understand, communicate, and become familiar, and only then can we make progress together.

Turning his attention back to Liyue team,

While Chongyun was busy helping the girls pose and take pictures,

A group of butterflies flew back from Xumi City carrying a special flying butterfly.

Xingqiu's eyes lit up and he shouted happily: "Chongyun, Chongyun, stop taking pictures, catch the Swift Flying Butterfly first."

In the crowd surrounded by girls, Chongyun stretched out a hand with difficulty and made a magic spell.

A group of butterflies landed next to Xingqiu with the swift flying butterflies.

Xingqiu was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to catch the swift flying butterfly easily.

at the same time,

On the high stage of the celebration, the points list changes,

[Points ranking list:

First place: Keli (Mond), 1 point.

Second place: Ah Mao (Xumi), 1 point.

Third place: Ying (traveler), 1 point.

Fourth place: Sainuo (Xumi), 1 point.

Fifth place: Arataki Yidou (Inazuma), 1 point.

Sixth place: Xingqiu (Liyue), 1 point.

...]

Most of the day has passed, and six swift flying butterflies have been caught, leaving only four outside.

Although the contestants cannot see the list, they can also hear the comments from the crowd.

With the presence of Void, the news in Xumi City can still be transmitted very quickly.

Ever since, players aspiring to be champions have started working hard.

On the branch of the sacred tree branch, Xeno flashed like lightning, constantly approaching a flying butterfly that was quickly escaping.

Although he has been deceived many times by mechanical flying butterflies, Sano's perception is after all the strongest among the contestants.

After a thorough search, he finally found a swift flying butterfly on a branch of the sacred tree.

The lightning flashed. After working hard for a long time, Sano finally caught a swift flying butterfly in his hand, and then showed a relieved smile.

the other side,

As an outstanding student of the Minglun sect, Laila walked on the street with a confused look on her face.

Compared with the various methods other players have, Leila is a truly ordinary player.

Of course, the premise is that she doesn't find a 'substitute'.

"No, I have to work harder to find it. I can't get sleepy. Everyone is expecting me to win, so I can't let everyone down."

Although anyone can register for this competition, anyone can also participate.

However, Laila's registration was still recommended by more than half of the scholars of the Myungron sect.

Carrying the eyes of these scholars who were either looking forward to it or waiting for a joke, Leila was under a lot of pressure.

In desperation, Laila began to search more and more confusedly.

It was probably luck. In a hurry, Laila turned her eyes and saw a butterfly fluttering its wings among the flowers and plants on the street not far away.

"Swift flying butterfly!" Leila exclaimed.

Then without thinking, he pounced on the butterfly.

It's a pity that she doesn't have the strength of Sano, nor the speed of Ah Mao.

The swift flying butterfly just flapped its wings and quickly escaped from Leila's attack range.

After missing a single hit, Leila did not dare to neglect and continued to chase the swift flying butterfly, biting tightly behind it.

After chasing and escaping, they actually ran to the entrance of Baoshang Street.

Here, the Liyue team is still taking pictures, and among the girls watching, there are many more girls with unusual temperaments.

The swift flying butterfly flew all the way, hovering above the crowd, and then seemed to feel something, and landed on the head of a girl.

"Hey, Candice, there's a butterfly on your head." Desiya looked curious as she watched the swift flying butterfly land on her friend's head.

Candice smiled gently: "Isn't this Liyue alchemist always controlling butterflies? If one of them lands on my head, there's nothing strange about it."

As she spoke, Candice reached out to catch the butterfly on her head.

"Wait, stop!"*2

Two shouts sounded from the side.

Candice's hand froze, and then she looked at the source of the shouting in confusion.

Layla was panting heavily on the side of the street. She was exhausted from chasing the swift flying butterflies.

On the other side, there is Xingqiu with shining eyes,

Because Chongyun was surrounded by girls and couldn't leave, he was a little idle, but he saw a swift flying butterfly flying over again.

There is no reason not to give up the scores that are delivered to your door.

That's why Xingqiu and Leila shouted at the same time to stop Candice's actions.

"Oh? You two called me, is there something rude on my part?" Candice looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

"No, no, madam, you misunderstood. It's just that the butterfly on your head is a prop for this competition. It moves very quickly. Please wait a moment and don't disturb it. We will catch it soon." Xingqiu explained Said, and then approached Chongyun, hoping that Chongyun would wrap up the butterfly group and control the swift flying butterflies.

On the other side, Leila also looked at Candice, but she had an advantage over Xingqiu, that is, she knew Candice.

"Miss Candice, I am chasing this swift flying butterfly." Leila shouted.

Candice looked at Xingqiu and then at Laila.

"Oh, it turns out it's you Laila, aren't you sleepwalking this time?"

Said Laila teasingly,

Candice shook her head and saw that the swift flying butterfly was disturbed and was about to fly away.

It's a pity that someone is faster than it,

Candice's eyes flashed, and she stretched out her right hand, accurately intercepting the swift flying butterfly in its path, and grabbed it.

"Hey, so fast~"

After receiving the news from Xingqiu, Chongyun, who was about to control the butterfly swarm to score the second point, looked at Candice in surprise.

From the opponent's actions just now, Chongyun knew that this was another powerful Eye of God holder.

The speed and judgment just now reminded Chongyun of his aunt.

My aunt in the fairy state is always so fast and precise.

"Oh, this thing is the mission butterfly you want?" Candice casually looked at the swift flying butterfly in her hand, but she didn't see anything wrong with it.

With a casual throw, he threw the Swift Flying Butterfly to Laila.

As for why it was given to Laila, it was because among the contestants here, she only knew Laila.

There was a trace of pity in his eyes, but even though he didn't get a second point, Xingqiu still maintained his etiquette.

"It seems I'm blind. I didn't expect you to be a powerful warrior, madam." Xingqiu sighed with emotion.

"Hahahaha, of course, Candice is the guardian of Aru Village, so she is very strong." Disiya laughed, bragging about Candice's power to everyone.

Candice shook her head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with Desiya's bragging.

Although most of these boasts are true.

On the other side, on the high stage of the celebration, the points list changes one after another.

[Points ranking list:

First place: Keli (Mond), 1 point.

Seventh place: Fa Lushan (Xumi), 1 point.

Eighth place: Laila (Xumi), 1 point.

...]

Two more places were confirmed, and the crowd's discussion became more and more heated. Everyone became more curious about who would win the final two points.

Before the buzz could get louder, the list changed again.

[Points ranking list:

First place: Keli (Mond), 1 point.

Second place: Ah Mao (Xumi), 1 point.

Third place: Ying (traveler), 1 point.

Fourth place: Sainuo (Xumi), 1 point.

Fifth place: Arataki Yidou (Inazuma), 1 point.

Sixth place: Xingqiu (Liyue), 1 point.

Seventh place: Fa Lushan (Xumi), 1 point.

Eighth place: Laila (Xumi), 1 point.

Ninth place: Scorpion (Xumi), 1 point.

Tenth place: Charlotte (Fontaine), 1 point. 】

On the high platform, two light curtains were enlarged.

It was the scene where the last two swift flying butterflies were captured,

Capturing the scorpion is very simple. Find the swift flying butterfly and then capture it directly with great strength.

The lightning power of the Sacred Scorpion shot down the swift butterfly flying in mid-air in just a moment.

Although he lost one point to Arataki, Scorpion still managed to score.

He was the last one, which was a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

It’s not Farushan and Kavi who released a large number of mechanical butterflies, nor Tinari who wanted to give a lecture.

But a reporter from Fontaine,

As an international journalist, Charlotte's last report on a desert adventure was a huge success.

Many Fontaine people are curious about foreign things and want to know more.

So when the Ecclesiastical Council held a celebration and invited representatives from various countries to participate, Charlotte knew that there must be big news.

So she appeared here very naturally,

She even signed up for a competition to represent more authentic news material.

Originally, she was just here to shoot news. As she was taking pictures, a swift flying butterfly landed on her camera.

The reporter lady didn't think much, she reached out and grabbed it, and then successfully became the tenth place.

At the judges' table, feeling the gazes of other people, Villette looked calm, but there was still a slight movement in his eyes.

He didn't expect that there would be something like Fontaine in this game.

On this mission, he did not bring any adventurers from Fontaine, nor did he bring any combat-oriented subordinates.

The most capable person in the entire mission is himself.

However, considering that the other party is a reporter from Steam Bird Newspaper, it is normal for him to appear here.

Of course, feeling the gazes from all around, Villette knew that everyone was waiting for him to introduce the Fontaine player.

"This Miss Charlotte is a reporter from Fontaine's famous newspaper - Steam Bird Newspaper. She is also a very famous reporter in Fontaine. She has reported on many major events. Previously, there were adventure activities held in Sumeru Desert, and Miss Charlotte was there. I have followed up and reported on it.”

After all, Villette was the supreme judge, and he recorded a lot of information about Fontaine in his mind. It only took him a few breaths to piece together an introduction.

"It turns out that there is such a connection. It seems that Miss Charlotte and Xumi are also very destined." At the referee's table, Alhaysen said with a smile.

Well, it’s still a standardized smile.

The people also commented that this kind of story with origins attracted them the most.

Presumably, it won't be long before the image of a Fontaine reporter who loves Xumi culture will be created.

Not long after,

As the information about the end of the game was sent to the contestants through the void terminal, each contestant gradually returned to the celebration platform.

As the referee, Nilu stood up, took a step forward, and announced that the game was temporarily over. It would be best to leave it to someone like her who is similar to an image ambassador.

"The first round of this celebration competition has officially ended. The results will continue to be displayed on the points list. You can check it by yourself. The next round of competition will be held in three days. The location is the desert. Players can go there by themselves, or they can Take the transportation machinery prepared by the Order."

"Of course, viewers don't have to worry. Under the power of the Red Sand Lord, the second round of the competition will also be broadcast live on the high platform. The viewers can continue to watch here."

"Okay, finally I announce that the first round of competition is over. Everyone can go back to rest or enjoy the celebration."

After Nilu announced the end,

The players gradually left, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

The referees and judges were received at the reception desk of the Order House.

After sitting here for a long time, there must be something in return. At least a dinner is not too much.

Even Elhaysen, who didn't want to work overtime and wanted to get off work, couldn't leave directly and could only accompany the envoys after the dinner.

…

after dinner,

Navilette returned to the embassy,

In the embassy, ​​Charlotte was already waiting,

Originally, Charlotte's visit to Sumeru had nothing to do with Villette.

But since this reporter was lucky enough to get a ranking, Villette naturally had to find out more about it.

Today’s game, introduction, commentary.

Villette has figured out that, except for him, who is an envoy with a special purpose, the other envoys come here to promote their own country and understand the country of Xumi.

"In this case, Fontaine cannot miss this opportunity." Navilette thought in his heart.

Soon, he saw Charlotte who was a little frightened.

Well, a little bit of excitement mixed with trepidation.

As a citizen of Fontaine, being summoned by the Supreme Inquisitor for no reason, and being in a foreign country, Charlotte was afraid.

But as a reporter, Charlotte was excited when encountering this kind of thing.

"Miss Charlotte, it's okay for me to call you this." Villette looked at the girl in front of her.

Charlotte nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, of course, of course."

Villette smiled, and he could see Charlotte's inner worry.

"Don't worry. The main reason I came to you this time is to encourage you to participate in the competition. This time, many foreign missions gathered in Xumi, but we in Fontaine don't have many adventurers coming, so you can participate and get a ranking, which is very good. ."

"Hey~ Is there any reward?" Once she heard that it was not a bad thing, all Charlotte's inner worries disappeared, and her boldness as a reporter returned.

"Huh? Reward, haha, interesting. What reward does Miss Charlotte want?" Villette didn't expect Charlotte to ask for a reward, but he wasn't angry either, instead he was a little happy.

Doing things and asking for rewards is reasonable in Navillete's understanding of human beings.

Charlotte looked at Navilette expectantly: "Well, can I do a column about you?"

At this time, Charlotte was already in a state of confusion.

What kind of Xumi celebrations or grand events can be more influential than the column reports of the Supreme Inquisitor after they are reported back to Fontaine?

Charlotte answered the question internally: No.

"Haha, Miss Charlotte really has professional ethics. Well, if you can achieve good results in the next competition, then it won't be a bad idea for me to accept your interview."

One party proposes a reward, the other proposes a demand,

This kind of transaction is in line with Navilite's values.

It is also consistent with his understanding of the human race.

"Okay, then it's settled." Charlotte said happily.

Although I don’t know what kind of good results Villette requires, but judging from the fact that I got the last place today, it’s enough to be on the list.

As a transnational reporter, Charlotte thinks she still has some tricks up her sleeve.

"Oh, of course I won't break my promise." Villette nodded slightly.

After explaining some more things, Navilette let Charlotte leave.

"Fontaine also needs more international voice." Navilette thought slightly in his heart,

Then he thought of his own god.

Suddenly I felt frustrated and helpless.

Fontaine is in power, and the water god Fukalos, or Funina, can only be described as immature in Navilette's heart.

Of course, Funina herself did not agree with this evaluation.

"Forget it, I... always have to leave some way out for Fontaine."

No one knows why Navilet, as one of the high-ranking beings, is willing to submit to the Water God and become the supreme judge.

The secret here is probably only known to Villette and the normal God of Water.
