Explorer of Teyvat

Baisong Town,

Paimon, who was watching Ying and Navia chatting, suddenly scratched his head and looked around, seemingly looking for something.

Ying saw her movements and asked curiously: "Paimon, what are you looking at?"

Paimon tilted his neck: "I'm looking for Miles and Silver. Shouldn't they be following Navia?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Navia's expression froze, sadness appeared in her eyes, she opened her mouth, but could not speak.

Looking at her look, Ying suddenly had a bad feeling.

Before she could ask further questions, the shouts of members of the Thorny Rose Society came from not far away.

"Miss Navia, there is still something going on here."

When everyone heard the sound and looked around, it seemed that there was another problem over there, and many people gathered together.

"I know." Navia responded loudly, then looked at Ying and Paimon, "Sorry, I have to go away for a while."

After saying that, Ying and Paimon ran away as if running away without waiting for their reaction.

Paimon blinked: "She left... In this situation, it's no wonder she is so busy..."

Paimon didn't seem to notice what her question had stimulated.

Ying turned to look at Paimon and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything about Miles and Silver.

Her eyes flickered, praying in her heart that she just guessed wrong.

the other side,

Navia walked around the area, talking to many people and arranging various matters.

Every decision she made was very reasonable. The victims who had gathered together quickly dispersed and started busy with their own affairs.

It seems that this disaster is almost over, but Navia still looks a little heavy...

A few hours later,

Navia returned to Ying and Paimon,

"...Okay, the basic inventory and rescue are almost done. New reinforcements just arrived, so I can finally take some time to do something of my own."

I don’t know if she just said too many words and solved too many tasks, but Navia’s voice was a little hoarse.

"Of course we can't take it lightly. We should do our best. I will let everyone from the Thorn Rose Club accompany [helpers] throughout the process."

【Helpers】=fools.

After saying that, she looked at Ying and Paimon: "Ying, Paimon, can you accompany me to my father's cemetery?"

Paimon was a little confused: "Eh, now?"

The fluorescent eyes flickered slightly, and he saw the sadness in Navia's calm expression: "I understand, let's go."

Leaving the devastated Baisong Town,

The three of them walked all the way up the hillside,

Over there is the cemetery in Baisong Town.

Navia's father, Mr. Cares, is buried here.

When the three of them arrived, there were only a few scattered figures in the entire cemetery, and extremely suppressed cries could be heard from all of them.

Obviously, although the disaster has temporarily passed, the scars it left are still in everyone's heart.

"There are so few people." Navia lowered her head and murmured.

Paimon looked around: "At this time and the situation in Baisong Town, no one will come to visit the grave..."

"Well, the people who come here now are all the townspeople who have lost important people." Navia spoke very slowly, as if she still blamed herself in her heart, "As for the other people, they are exhausted while living, even if they want to come and die. People can’t even say a few words.”

At this time, even Paimon could see that something was wrong in the other party's heart. She was a little worried: "Hey, Navia"

Ying stepped forward and hugged Navia: "No need to hold on."

This sentence seemed to open up the last persistence in Navia's heart,

Big tears fell from her eyes,

Covering her chest with one hand, she said in a hoarse voice with a cry: "...I'm sorry, I...really."

Her emotions collapsed instantly. Navia slipped from Ying's embrace and squatted on the ground, covering her face with her hands and crying: "...Miles and Silver...will never come back."

"Father, what should I do..." The girl collapsed in front of her father's tombstone, trying to find even a glimmer of comfort.

It's a pity that the cold tombstone cannot speak.

Paimon's eyes widened instantly: "How could that be possible!!!"

She couldn't believe that Miles and Silver, the two guys who followed Navia and could bring out eggs, sugar, and almonds,

Just like that...dead?

Paimon was stunned, and Ying took a step forward: "Navia, please forgive me."

She didn't know what to say now, so in the end she could only say the most useless thing - please forgive me...

"If it hadn't been for me, if I hadn't been too careless... them, they wouldn't have..." Navia cried bitterly, "They were drowned by the sea water because they were trying to save me."

Navia fell into endless self-blame and sadness, and her sad cries echoed in the cemetery.

Paimon regained his composure and looked at Ying with some confusion: "I... what should we do..."

Ying shook her head. She knew that the best way now was to let Navia continue to cry and release her inner emotions.

Tears take away those emotions.

"I've known them for so long... I know they won't be afraid of these things, but, but..." Navia left her face with her hands, revealing a crying face, with panic, regret, and indelible pain on her face, "Even if He is the father. At least the body can be found and the funeral can be held. Miles and Silver are completely...I really can't accept it..."

She fell into memories,

When she, Miles and Silver came to visit their father's grave,

They had talked about death.

As Navia said, everyone in the Rose of Thorns Society is not afraid of death.

The biggest wish of Myles and Silver is that after death, they can be buried next to the grave of Mr. Carres, the former leader of the Rose of Thorns Society and Navia's father.

because of this,

Every year when Navia comes to visit Father Kares's grave, they can meet Navia together.

At that time, Navia's reply was that there was no need to stop by, she would personally make a trip for them.

The jokes from the past seem to still be in my ears, but the old friend has...

Navia's eyes were filled with tears: "I clearly made a promise to them...but I'm going to break my promise."

There was silence in the cemetery for a long time,

Navia wiped away her tears and looked at Ying and Paimon: "I'm sorry for making you laugh. In fact, I don't usually cry...really."

Paimon was at a loss: "I don't know how to comfort you, but I understand how you feel..."

Navia raised her head and looked into the distance: "I have always felt that my wishes can come true. Now that I think about it, I don't have to do it all by myself. Many things can only be done with the help of others. Miles and Silver helped me. I have a lot. At the end of the day, there's not much I can do for them at a time like this."

Ying and Paimon looked at each other: "You can stay here as long as you want, we will accompany you."

At this time, it seems that they can't do anything. The only thing they can do is to accompany them.

"Thank you. For me now... this is good." Navia nodded, paused, and took out a stack of paper, "By the way, this is for you. The list of those who died in the Baisong Town accident. "

She knew that Ying and Paimon came to help Navilette, so she prepared this list.

Paimon took the list and read: "Obanna, Cana, Benetti, Givonne... Francine, Corina... Desiree, Ryanville Jolene... Esson... and Mele Si and Silver.”

"A lot of people...are they really never coming back?" Paimon was a little scared and a little sad.

Many of the names above are new friends she and Ying met after arriving here.

Everyone drank and ate together in the pub, bragging and laughing together,

There were many children who used to follow Paimon, calling Paimon sister.

There are also very, very important friends like Miles and Silver.

But now, their names can only lie on this list.

"Yes, they can't come back, but... the situation is actually much better than imagined. We saved most of the townspeople, but at the cost, we lost Miles and Silver." Navi Ya's voice was low, "... Judging from the results, it should be a good thing."

In a huge disaster, there were only these casualties, which is actually a blessing among misfortunes.

The sacrifice that Thorn Rose Society made was just two people, which was already very impressive.

Ying shook his head: "No one's sacrifice is worthy."

Paimon also nodded: "Yes! You must not think like this. One person saved another person. This is a fact, but leaving and returning cannot be regarded as an exchange."

Then, Paimon showed his highlight: "Myles and Silver were not the "price" for saving anyone, they just became heroes! "

Sacrifice is not the price, it is what makes them heroes.

Using the word price with heroes is an insult to their greatness.

"...Yeah. Thank you, Paimon." Navia looked at Paimon, her eyes a little fluctuating. She didn't expect that Paimon would say such profound words, "By the way, those two sentences just now are really good. , I will write it down."

Paimon felt a little embarrassed: "By the way, those two sentences just now are really good, I will write them down."

Before Navia could speak, someone else interrupted.

"The price and the hero, haha, I haven't seen you for a while, my eloquence has indeed improved." Arecino came over from not far away.

Paimon was a little shocked: "Ah, servant! Why are you here."

Navia also looked at Arecino: "Hello, is everything going well?"

"Yes. My people carried out the mission as requested by Miss Navia. Now the residents of Baisong Town have been rescued and are preparing to evacuate to high ground." Arecino nodded, "Miss, don't worry about the supplies. We are all prepared.”

Navia thanked her gratefully: "Thank you very much."

Paimon was a little confused: "Wait, do you two know each other?"

Arecino smiled: "We just met, right, miss?"

Navia also nodded: "Normally, it would be said to be an accidental acquaintance? But this time it doesn't apply. After all, I never thought that the Fool Executive Officer [servant] would take the initiative to find me."

After a pause, Navia continued: "Thanks to the [servant], Thorny Rose will receive strong support from the Fools and can complete the rescue and evacuation work at the current speed."

When Navia was called away before, it was actually the Fools who came to Baisong Town.

They brought a lot of supplies and manpower, so Navia was able to complete the rescue work so quickly and had time to come to the cemetery.

Arecino waved his hand: "Helping each other is one of the inevitable rules for healthy development. We are all working in Fontaine, and it takes a little effort."

As an executive from Fontaine, Arecino understands how powerful the now-shattered Rose of Thorns will be in Fontaine.

To give a simple example, the three largest track-seeking boat lines in Fontaine were built by the Thorn Rose Society.

One is called the Cares Line, named after Navia's father, the other is called the Clementine Line, named after Navia's mother, and the last one is called the Navia Line.

Yes, the Fontaine traffic artery is named after Navia's family.

It is conceivable that the Thorn Rose Society has a hidden reputation among the people of Fontaine.

This is one of the reasons why the servants are particularly concerned about the disaster relief situation here.

If the Fools can get help from the Thorn Rose Society in their work in Fontaine, even a little help will be a great help.

Of course, this disaster relief is not entirely utilitarian. The [Servant]'s purpose of saving the people of Fontaine does not conflict with this disaster relief, but is consistent with it.

As he spoke, Arecino looked at Navia: "However, Miss Navia is much smarter than she said. You know what I mean."

"Testing before cooperation is a last resort, please forgive me. Our Thorny Rose Society has never cooperated in depth with the Fools, and understanding our partners is very important to us."

"My subordinates reported that they saw soldiers taking turns observing the water surface and recording parameters everywhere, and they also prepared a large amount of disaster prevention supplies... I was really surprised."

"If you hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't have believed that your true purpose was [kind]."

Navia is not stupid. With her reputation as a fool, how could she casually accept the other party's kindness?

At first, only a high-ranking official came to the fool, but it was after Navia tested that the [servant] appeared.

Only when a high-level official like [Servant] personally came to the scene of the disaster did Navia believe that the Fools really wanted to save people and provide disaster relief.

Arecino crossed his chest with one hand and waved the other lightly: "In front of you, the witness of the facts, I have no intention and no need to brag. This is the fact. No matter whether a strong organization does good things or bad things, its ability to act will not change." .”

Then she turned to look at Ying again: "I also told this traveler before that I know the prophecy and intend to prevent the upcoming disaster."

"Helping Thorn Rose is the first step a fool can take. So you don't have to be burdened, just accept this sincerity. Maybe you can help me with the same favor one day in the future."

Arecino never concealed his purpose;

She frankly stated that she was here to prevent the disaster, and to help the Thorny Rose Society this time, she also hoped to get help from the Thorny Rose Society in her next actions.

I have to say that this kind of aboveboard behavior seems very inconsistent with the fools.

But this undoubtedly made Navia willing to believe Arecino.

Because what the [servant] said and did was clearly shown in Navia's eyes.

Be consistent in your words and deeds.

Navia nodded: "Without you, the list of casualties might have grown a lot...Thank you, I will remember this kindness."

"In addition, I deeply regret what happened to Mr. Myles and Mr. Silver. If possible, I also hope that my manpower can arrive earlier to avoid all this." Arecino said.

Navia shook her head: "Don't say that...no one should do anything, you and your men have done your best.

As Paimon said, Miles and Silver did not choose to sacrifice for someone, they were not a price, they just... chose to become heroes.

I didn't like this statement before, as if saying something noble can dilute the pain. But at this moment, apart from this word... there is no more suitable word. "

Arecino put his right hand on his chest: "Yes. Please forgive me, Miss Navia."

Then there was a hint of heaviness on her face: "Fontaine people live by water, and they are also affected by water. No wonder people always say that prophecies represent cause and effect. Unfortunately, I have never liked this kind of view."

Navia looked at her: "You are someone who will change something, right?"

Arecino nodded very firmly: "Of course, so I'm going to go to the Buffati Mansion now. There are still some things that need to be taken care of. The children also need to be taken care of."

Then she turned and left,

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again.

He turned around and looked at Ying: "Oh, yes, Traveler, there is one more thing."

Paimon put his hands on his hips: "It's not a fixed link? I thought you would just say "send me off" and then talk about something!"

The last time Arlecino and Fonina met at the opera house, they used the excuse of "send me off" and then they talked about a lot of things.

"That is also a clever and convenient conversation technique. I like to use it when necessary. I won't use it today, Miss Navia. There is no need to avoid it." Arecino said with a smile, and then looked into Ying's eyes, "You You should remember that I said we could cooperate if there was a chance."

There seemed to be some special charm in Arecino's eyes, which made Ying couldn't help but nod.

This is also what was discussed in the last meeting, and there is the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.

Seeing Ying nod, Arecino's smile softened further: "You and I both know that there may be something wrong with the original sea of ​​​​fetus. The sea valve in Merlo Petersburg last time and the water level in Baisong Town this time are all signals."

Ying said: "So, is it time to cooperate?"

Arecino nodded: "Yes. I want to share with you the latest information from the Hearth House Intelligence Network."

"In recent investigations, some children claimed to have discovered a ruins, located near Baisong Town. The ruins are old and have investigation value from all aspects. Judging from the time, it may be related to prophecies and disasters. The recent situation is urgent, and any relevant information is extremely precious. At first, my people came to Baisong Town to prepare for exploring the ruins. Unexpectedly, a disaster occurred here. Now we all give priority to rescue work."

This is half true and half false. The Fools did indeed explore Baisong Town, but they mainly focused on detecting changes in the water area.

The ruins are the entrances that only appeared after the disaster occurred.

It didn't take long for Arecino to receive the news.

However, the contents of the ruins were indeed not deceptive, and Arecino told Ying the news about the ruins mainly to further build trust between the two parties.

Paimon was a little skeptical: "Why don't you go by yourself?"

Arecino shrugged: "I thought about taking the children with me, but unfortunately Linny, Linnette and Femini were all sent to the highlands to prepare for the residents of Baisong Town. Linny said, outside the Hearth House , the person they trust most is you, so I want to entrust this task to you."

Using the three brothers and sisters who worked together in Merlo Petersburg as a link, the relationship between the two parties was once again closer.

Ying looked at her: "...Are you sure it's okay? Leave it to me, an outsider?"

"Members of the Hearth House call each other family, but Linny, Lynette, and Fimini said that even if you are not from the Hearth House, you and Paimon are their family members."

Export the concept of Hearth House members = family to Ying and Paimon, subconsciously improving each other's bad influence on the fools.

"How sincere this friendship is, I don't need to tell you that you should also feel it."

No need to say more, let Ying and Paimon figure it out on their own, and there will definitely be a good result in the end.

"My piece of information can be sold for a high price. But since you are the children's family, it is only natural that I share it with you."

Once again, it strengthens the concept of "family" and "as it should be", bringing the relationship between the two parties closer and improving the other party's first impression of the fool.

Sure enough, after Arecino's trick, Paimon completely trusted her: "I understand, we just want to go to the ruins, right? We will get it done!"

Arecino nodded, then looked at Navia: "Miss Navia also wants to go with you?"

"No, no! Navia must be in a bad mood right now and needs to rest!" Paimon quickly refused.

Navia had a different opinion: "I must be sad, but I can't just go back and sit on a chair on the roadside in a daze, right? In the current natural disaster, there is no point in being depressed. As the successor, I must make a decision to live up to my father." Things to expect.”

After a pause, sadness flashed in her eyes again: "...And, it's also for myself. I need to do something to divert my attention...so that I won't think about Miles and Silver."

Ying was slightly silent,

Normally, the remains of the original womb sea water must be very dangerous to Navia, a Fontaine native.

Ying wanted to refuse, but seeing the sadness and persistence in Navia's eyes, she couldn't say no.

Ying understood that even if she refused, Navia would secretly follow her.

(Navia is strong, but she also needs companionship. If she explores with us, we can accompany her.)

Ying thought for a moment and then nodded: "Then let's go together. However, Navia, if there is danger, you can't be impulsive."

"Okay, I know." Navia also nodded vigorously.

She knew that if she acted impulsively, she might endanger Ying and Paimon.

Seeing that the three people had finished negotiating, the servant stepped forward and took out a map: "So, the ruins are in the south of Baisong Town. This is the map."

"Okay, leave it to the three of us! Then let's pack up and set off as soon as possible." Paimon said confidently.

The three of them said goodbye to Arecino, turned around and rushed to the place shown on the map.

…

Xumi·Jiaolingyuan·Jingshan Palace.

Wang Daoyi returned here and found Nasida who was cleaning up the hidden dangers inside the World Tree.

Ever since Nasida fired the first shot at Heaven,

She has been cleaning up the World Tree,

After she cleaned up all the abnormal things inside the World Tree,

Then, all the information recorded by the World Tree will appear before her eyes.

However, it will definitely not be that fast.

When Wang Dao came back, Nasida was a little curious: "Didn't you go to Fontaine? Has the disaster been solved?"

"Half of it has been solved. The remaining half needs your help." Wang Daoyi said.

Nasida: "What do I need to do?"

"You don't need to come. I'm here to borrow [the power of dreams] from you."

Wang Dao opened his mouth and said.

In the next [script], there is a [plot] that was originally completed by the deceased citizens of Baisong.

But because of Wang Daoyi's intervention, no one actually died in Baisong Town.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi needs to fix this bug, otherwise there will be loopholes in the [plot].
