Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Chapter 38 The time loop of the Flower God’s Birthday Festival



Travelers are good people.

When Chinatsu and Philier were penniless and had nowhere to go, Sora generously helped them solve the rental problem in Xumi City and invited them to go with them.

After renting a short-term apartment in Sumeru City, Chinatsu separated from the traveler. He and Paimon would continue to visit the country, and Chinatsu planned to rest herself first.

Then, in order to have continuous income from Mora, Chinatsu once again embarked on the old path of catching crystal butterflies and selling them for money.

The first thing she did was to use some of the money given to her by travelers to buy a map of Sumeru.

The moment Chinatsu got the map, she opened it and fell into a suffocating silence.

Philiel floated over and asked: [What's wrong with you? 】

Qian Xia murmured: "I just feel firsthand... it's really hard to make money."

The map is very detailed, with all the caves and minerals marked.

only……

In terms of terrain, Xumi's crystal butterflies are much more difficult to collect than Inazuma's.

Let’s not talk about the problem that it is easy to get lost due to the many mountains and caves. Just looking at the size of the Xumi area on the map... will make the little vampire feel suffocated.

Why is there such a large territory?

Sumeru includes rainforests and deserts.

Philier asked: [Are you planning to go to the desert? I want to go see it! 】

Chinatsu rejected this proposal with great heaviness.

"No." Her tone was a bit complicated and heavy.

【why? 】

"Although you have lifted the restrictions on vampires, but... I haven't been in the sun for many years after all." Qianxia explained, "If I go to the desert to bask in the sun for two days now... I'm afraid my skin will crack. ."

——That makes sense.

Philier had no choice but to retract himself regretfully.

But all the money was spent, and Chinatsu still planned to try to catch how many crystal butterflies she could catch.

This time, I even took Philiel who insisted on going out to see the scenery.

Watching the green butterfly in front of me suddenly turn into sparkling crystal nuclei, the scroll opened and closed excitedly, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

[Is this a creation from another world? Wow! Amazing! 】

Chinatsu: "...That's really magical."

Philier said: [When I go back, I will also create a crystal butterfly like this! 】

"Do you still have the ability to create life?"

Philier said: [Of course, I am the only god of light in the world. If I didn't have the ability to create, wouldn't all my humans just die from so many messy plagues? 】

Chinatsu: "..."

She hesitated for a long time: "So, you haven't thought about solving the plague?"

Philiel fell into an eerie silence.

Since then, he has been silent all the way.

It wasn't until Qianxia counted all the crystal nuclei and was about to return that she heard him whisper: "The growth of a world must go through hardships. This is written in the rules." 】

Chinatsu was surprised that he would answer, but did not answer.

She took the heavy crystal core in her hand and went to the streets of Xumi City.

*

Compared to Inazuma's nobles who needed the crystal cores of crystal butterflies to make precious ornaments, Xumi's style was much simpler.

Everyone pursues priceless knowledge more than expensive but valuable jewelry.

That is to say...

"Here, canned knowledge is much more valuable than crystal cores." Chinatsu, who recognized the reality, was a little frustrated, "The sales of crystal cores are not good, Philier, we have no choice but to stop eating."

It’s finally possible to taste food with normal taste…

Although she no longer needed to eat to replenish energy, she wanted to try the taste of Sumeru food.

Philier complained sharply: [I haven’t eaten anything either. 】

He has a scroll, how can he eat it?

The sales of crystal cores are not good, and if you can't make money, Mora's relationship with him is almost nothing.

Later, she met Traveler and Paimon.

They were very surprised when they heard about this. Paimon unconsciously patted the traveler on the shoulder, and his tone became anxious: "You can sell it to us!"

"We happen to be short of crystal nuclei, a synthetic material that we need for a long time. For this reason, Kong has to go out to catch crystal butterflies from time to time. Sometimes he is unlucky and doesn't even sleep!"

Chinatsu exclaimed: "Adventurers work too hard."

Paimon chuckled: "But the journey is still very happy! I'm serious, you can really travel with us. If Sora wants to find my sister, you want to find..."

Paimon paused, "... We can also look for skirmishers together."

Philier's heartbeat only lasted a moment.

The scrolls were flying around shouting: [Qianxia Qianxia, ​​let’s be adventurers too! 】

Chinatsu's face was expressionless for a moment, she grabbed him and said, "Don't make trouble."

She declined Paimon's offer.

"After Xumi, I plan to visit Inazuma and Zhidong. Aren't you going to Fontaine as your next stop?"

The implication is that we can’t travel together if things don’t go our way.

Paimon felt a little regretful: "Okay then..."

The scroll suddenly hung limply in his hand, as if it had lost its soul.

After selling all the crystal cores to Sora, Chinatsu received enough money to live for about half a month.

——Well, half a month.

As long as she resists the temptation and doesn't eat or drink, it's almost enough.

Philier said quietly: [Really? 】

Chinatsu said firmly: "Really."

A few more days passed.

After Philier's repeated urging, Chinatsu finally decided to take him out to have a good look at the city. While passing by a place called Zubair Theater, she heard a piece of music that was very characteristic of Sumeru.

Under the influence of an inexplicable feeling, she turned her head and saw a young Xumi dancer swaying her body to the rhythm of the music, performing a youthful dance.

She suddenly thought about that night.

The moonlight pours down from the sky like flowing white gauze, and the pure white dolls are also like this, with a little bit of rawness, dancing like a sacrifice.

There was no music that day, and the puppets were intoxicated with it, their expressions were serious, and every movement was extremely beautiful.

Chinatsu was also intoxicated.

She didn't understand it at the time, but just looking at him made her feel at peace.

"Is she serious? Is she a good dancer?" Suddenly, a gentle female voice came from beside her.

Turn your head following the source of the sound.

A red-haired girl wearing a dancer's costume smiled slightly: "Hello, I am Nilu. I am a dancer at Zubair Theater. Are you a foreigner?"

Chinatsu was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Hello, my name is Chinatsu."

Feilier came over without any knowledge: [Hello! I am Philier. You have a very special aura about you. We have met so many people from Sumeru, but you are the only one who has it. 】

Chinatsu: "..."

Chinatsu grabbed the scroll and said, "Filir, don't act like a pervert."

【What I said is true! 】Scroll shook his body dissatisfiedly, 【Just like water, it has a gentle flowing feeling. 】

Nilu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It doesn't matter, I'm not offended. This special Mr. Philier should be talking about the eye of the water god."

She showed her divine eye.

Philier immediately said: [Yes, yes, this is it! This is the breath! Is it the power given by the water gods? 】

He sighed: [How generous. 】

The gods of this world actually give power to some people on their own initiative?

——The eyes of God, the gaze of gods?

Qianxia thought for a moment, then glanced at Philiel with complicated eyes, and echoed: "It is indeed... generous."

To feed believers with your own flesh and blood, you, Philiel, must be more powerful.

After that, not long after saying goodbye to Nilu, Philier proposed to go shopping by himself. After agreeing on a time to go back, Philier also went for a stroll.

Chinatsu planned to go back to her residence first, but she met a traveler coming in a hurry.

He glanced at Qianxia anxiously and asked quickly: "Qianxia, ​​do you know this is the first day I take you into Xumi City?"

She thought about it and asked a little confused: "It must be the seventh day since you took me into Xumi City. What's wrong?"

The traveler said with a serious face: "Today is still the flower god's birthday festival."

"Isn't the Flower Goddess Festival over yet?" Chinatsu was a little surprised, "This has been held for several days."

She hadn't gone out for a few days and didn't want to join in the fun. She thought it was over long ago.

"No, what I mean is..." Seeing that she was not affected, Kong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then solemnly expressed his speculation in a difficult tone.

"—Today is still the first day of the Flower Goddess's birthday festival."

[——I discovered an interesting thing! 】

Two voices sounded at the same time.

After observing the surroundings, Philier floated back leisurely, overlapping with the traveler's voice and echoing in his ears, like a flat thunder.

The pupils of the little vampire's ruby-clear eyes instantly trembled, and the words ringing in his ears contained a huge amount of information——

"Time cycles."

【Time is looping. 】

Their voices overlapped again.
