Vampire Princess's Anime Journey

The higher we go, the stronger the wind and snow become. You can imagine how terrible nature is. It's only halfway up the mountain, but the biting cold wind seems to freeze everything.

"Xinsu, there are wild boars here~"

"It seems to be true. Wait, why is this wild boar so big?"

It was a giant wild boar frozen in the ice, with brown and black hair, a body of more than ten meters, and fangs so strong that they seemed able to break through the rock wall.

"How long can this pig last?"

"Why do you have such an idea?" Xin Su complained and walked over to take a closer look.

But before I got close enough, I could see cracks appearing in the ice, and I could even hear a crackling sound, like the sound of ice breaking.

Xin Su picked up Judas and smashed it at him without hesitation.

The ice broke, and the huge wild boar's head was smashed into pieces. White sticky liquid mixed with blood flowed out emitting white mist.

"Are you so fast?"

Although they were just ordinary words, Xin Su always felt that there was something different in the tone Columbia said.

"What's up? I'm still strong."

Xin Su patted his shoulders, even though he didn’t have the muscles that were rumored to be there.

Xin Su cut off one leg of the giant wild boar and controlled the flames in its body to slowly roast it. During the roasting process, the three of them continued to move forward, and the fragrance wafted out unconsciously.

The fragrance is wafting around, which is a big taboo in the snow mountains. Food is quite scarce in the snow mountains, so as long as you smell something, you will be like this now.

Surrounded by a large group of monsters.

"There are so many Hilichurls, and even the Hilichurl Frost Armor King. Xinsu, come and save me who am weak." Columbia covered her mouth and pretended to be scared.

Surrounded by a group of hillbillies was a giant nearly ten meters tall, with a sturdy body, covered in white hair, and two icicle-like horns on his head.

"I don't have any hands, so I can't move. Do you still want to eat roasted pork leg later?"

“want to eat”

Columbia looked at Xinsu with some resentment, then cleared her throat, and her beautiful and peaceful voice rang out in the snowy mountains.

The monsters in front of him were emitting hot steam. No, it was blood oozing out of their bodies.

The blood and energy raised the body temperature of these monsters, and their bodies slowly turned red. The surrounding white snow was gradually stained with blood, and the snow was also melting.

The monster knelt on the ground and rolled over, trying to lower its body temperature.

But the temperature kept getting higher and higher, the screams were endless, and finally they turned into charcoal and burned to death in the snow.

The sound stopped, Columbia put her hands behind her back, turned around and showed a shy expression: "Was my performance just now too scary?"

“No, it’s good, the song is pretty good too.”

"Oh, I thought you liked the singing of the bards, so I didn't show you this kind of a cappella singing."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's because you go to see Barbatos every day that I'm scared and I don't dare to sing for a while."

The tone of his voice was so aggrieved that it made Xin Su wonder if he was the kind of bad uncle who kidnapped ignorant girls.

Hehe, let's go home with Boss Xinsu. There are good things there. Is that true? Don't lie to Columbia.

"Come and try it, this is the wild boar leg Plus version that I made myself." Xin Su raised his fingers and cut off several slices from the huge leg.

Xin Su used gravity to deliver the cut meat to the mouths of Columbia and Cangjing Lady.

"Thank you, Lord Redeemer"

"Thank you, Xinsu"

The two of them slowly enjoyed the meat slices grilled by Xin Su, and then exclaimed.

"It's delicious. Lord Redemption's cooking skills are truly amazing," said the Lady Cangjing with an unsatisfied look, and then a few more slices floated in front of her.

"It's really delicious, and the meat is better than ordinary wild boar meat," Columbia nodded in agreement.

The snow mountain trip finally ended in these few days. After all, the three of them were not ordinary people.

Although the time can be shortened, there is a problem with the map. Tnnd, there are several places that cannot be reached.

If Xin Su hadn't been afraid that punching through the mountain wall would cause an avalanche, he would really want to punch through the mountain to perform a deliberate punch.

The trip to the snowy mountains brought a lot of gains. For example, when Youla was taking a bath, Xinsu secretly took out her camera to take pictures, as well as the ice and snow forest and the meat of the Snow Pig King.

Sometimes you will encounter human skeletons on the road. These are stories of adventurers who entered the snowy mountains and died there.

So, let’s talk about the next place, Liyue.

The proudly towering mountains, vast plains and vibrant river beaches, the rich geography comes alive in this climate with distinct four seasons.

I don't understand the story of Liyue, so Columbia will tell me some along the way.

For example, the strength of the Thousand Rocks Army seems to be that when Morax is leading it, a thousand men can break through to the Deathly Demon.

The devil, that is a guy like god, which makes Xin Su a little interested.

"I want to fight Morax"

"Forget it. The Rock God Morax is very powerful. He is even very old. And there is also Ruotu, the King of Rock Dragons. I heard that he is as powerful as Morax."

Columbia rubbed Xinsu's face, trying to persuade her to give up her impulse. She was really afraid that Xinsu would suddenly ask Bingshen and the executive officers to come to the rescue.

Dragons, the original dragons, the longer they live, the stronger they become. Although Morax is not like this, it is not necessarily the case with Roto. Because Fontaine really has a water dragon, and it is a second-generation water dragon.

It's better not to take risks in this kind of thing.

“I’m strong”

"Okay, okay, I know you are strong, but please don't do anything reckless. If you disrupt the Queen's plan, be careful or she will hang you up and whip you, or even tie you up with ropes. You can't eat the food in front of you, and can only watch the Queen eat."

"Hey! Why is there such an evil god? She is definitely a bad guy."

"So you must hold back. Do you understand clearly, Xinsu?"

"I know. I won't make trouble."

The Fatui had a decent reputation in Liyue. Thanks to this guy named Rooster, Zhidong and Liyue reached some kind of cooperation. The rich also opened the Northland Bank in Liyue, which made Liyue's economy rise again.

Northland Bank provides loan services. For example, if you don’t pay it back on time, it’s best to take a nap at noon, because something will go wrong sooner or later.

If you pay it back, your creditworthiness will be greatly improved and you can borrow more.

The Northland Bank is incredibly rich, because everyone keeps their money there. Although the Fatui have a bad reputation on this continent, no one dares to offend them.

After coming down from the snow mountain, we passed Mingyun Town, crossed a broken bridge, and finally arrived at Guiliyuan.

This is a ruin, but above the ruins you can vaguely see a few blue and white flowers with a silver glow.

"This is a glazed lily. Speaking of which, there was a demon god in Guiliyuan in the past." Columbia picked one and put it in Xinsu's hand.

"Demon? Can you tell me about it?" Xin Su asked, playing with the glass lily in her hand.

"I knew you would be interested. Guiliyuan was called Guiliji many years ago. Guiliji was once a prosperous market. The demon god who protected the people here was called the Demon God of Dust [Hagentus]. A thousand years ago, a terrible demon war broke out in Teyvat.

At that time, the one in the sky did not order the demons to fight each other, which meant that they did not need to kill each other, and could form an alliance for mutual benefit. But someone said that as long as they killed the other demons, they could become the strongest god.

From then on, the war between demons and gods began.

And Hagentus was the first one to form an alliance with Morax, but unfortunately, the Demon War was too brutal, and she died here while protecting her people."

After listening to Columbia's story, Xin Su nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the glass lily in her hand.

"Where did you pick it from?"

"This one"

Columbia pointed to the distance, where there was a stone tablet. Right in front of the stone tablet were several glass lilies.

"Whose grave did you dig up? You even want to destroy the offerings of the dead." Xin Su was speechless.

"How can it be called destruction? Dust returns to dust, and what we worship is nothing but a kind of remembrance." Columbia spread his hands.

"My friend, what you said makes sense. The dead will only become fragments in the silhouettes of people, and fragments will gradually wear away with time."

It was a steady and heavy voice, but the three were not familiar with it, nor did they notice the figure that appeared behind them at some point.

Xin Su turned her head and looked at the person who came.

It was a calm, majestic, and reassuring figure like a rock, and his attire made him look extraordinary.

"who are you?"

"I am just a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall. My name is Zhongli. What is your name?"

"Xinsu, a person who traveled to seven countries." Xinsu took out the camera and waved it.

Zhongli looked at Xinsu, raised his head slightly, and then withdrew his gaze with a hint of disbelief: "Would you allow me to introduce the scenery of Liyue to you, my friends?"

"No problem, but aren't you afraid of us? What if I lie to you and say I'm a traveler, but I'm actually a Fatui who has done all kinds of bad things?" Xin Su placed the Glazed Lily in front of her, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Zhongli in front of her.

Columbia on the side wanted to cover her face. The three of them had been wearing the clothes of executives and Fatui from Mondstadt to Liyue.

Don't look so serious, it's really embarrassing.

Zhongli moved his gaze to Xinsu's clothes, the meaning was self-evident. After being stunned for a moment, Xinsu fell silent.

You make me look like a clown.

"Ahem, guest Zhongli, I was just joking."

It would be fine if he didn't explain, at least it would be awkward for a moment. But after he explained, he created a dream castle directly under his feet.

"No problem"

Zhongli's knowledge is amazing. He is the type of person who can comment on whatever you say, and will even explain it to you in more detail from various angles.

"Mr. Zhongli, you are so knowledgeable. So, do you know where Morax, the rock god of the Seven Rulings, is?"

Zhongli put his hand on his chin, thinking, and then said: "In a month, it happens to be the annual Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony. You may want to go and watch it. You will meet the God of Rock then."

"The Seven Stars Ceremony to Invite the Immortals? What are the Seven Stars? Are there really immortals? Are immortals powerful? Or are immortals as powerful as the Seven Gods?"

Xin Su asked questions curiously, and Zhong Li explained them one by one in a leisurely manner.

For example, the Seven Stars are Liyue’s permanent council, responsible for handling Liyue’s political affairs and governing the nobles in various parts of Liyue.

They are Tianquan Star, Yuheng Star, Tianxuan Star, Tianji Star, Tianshu Star, Kaiyang Star and Yaoguang Star.

As for immortals, only non-humans can be called immortals. Immortals will protect the peace of Liyue, but no immortals have been seen for a long time.

"In that case, is Mr. Zhongli also an immortal?"

"Why do you say that, my friend?"

"It's mainly because you have an imperial aura about you, or maybe I'm mistaken. Every step you take is steady and rhythmic, and all these things show that you are an immortal!"

Xinsu couldn't help but feel that she was really awesome. What was going on with this sense of déjà vu of the famous steamed egg? I am Xinsu Holmes.

Zhongli raised the corner of his mouth, shook his head and chuckled: "Maybe I can't make you happy, I'm just a guest of the Wangsheng Hall."

"That shouldn't be the case. Besides, you have a god... why is your god's eye a glass bead?" Xin Su widened her eyes and touched Zhong Li's butt in disbelief: "Okay, you are an immortal, and you want to pretend to be a mortal just because you have a glass bead!"

Zhongli was slightly surprised, but he still calmly took the hand that was touching his butt away: "Why do you think this is fake?"

"Heh...I was personally taken in by As...mmmm...mmmm!"

When Xinsu was about to read out the name, Zhongli and Columbia covered her mouth at the same time. They even looked at the sky with some concern.

Xin Su patted their hands. Because they were covering their hands at the same time, even their noses were covered by their hands and they could not breathe!

"Don't ever say this name. No matter how you were chased by that guy before, if you say it out loud, she will definitely look at you," Columbia said in a low voice.

Xin Su nodded hurriedly, and only after the two of them moved their hands away could she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you trying to smother me to death? Columbia is fine, but what's wrong with you, Zhongli? Could it be that you are also...oh~"

Xin Su narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a wicked smile: "Zhongli, you don't want your secret to be known by others, right?"

Zhongli stared at Xinsu for a while, then sighed: "It seems that I have been discovered. Yes, my friend, I am Morax."

"Hmm? Aren't you an immortal?"

"Don't you know that I am the God of Rock?"

"How the hell do I know you're the Rock God? I framed you just now because I wanted to ask you if you're an immortal!"

Zhongli's calm face cracked, he rushed to attack because Xin Su wanted to call out the name of the maintainer. If you know the name of the maintainer, you can basically know whether it is the Seven Gods.

That's why he thought Xin Su knew his true identity.

"My friend, since you have come to Liyue, it must be because of the one from Zhidong."

"Stop calling me little friend, you old bastard! You are thousands of years old and you want to call me a little friend who is only a few dozen years old. You are still pretending to be young."

Zhongli suddenly clenched his fists. He couldn't fight, he absolutely couldn't fight. He could retire if he could hold out for another month. It would be bad to make any noise now.

And it’s not too late to teach them a lesson after a month.

Finally, his fist loosened: "I have a contract with the one from Zhidong. When the contract is fulfilled, I can take the Heart of God away."

"That kind of thing has nothing to do with me. The person who will actually take over the job hasn't arrived yet. It's my colleague named Tartaglia." Xin Su waved her hand perfunctorily.

I'm just here to travel, anything outside of work will cost extra.

"Then you come here..."

"Travel, by the way, let's get back to the point, Morax, you don't want your identity to be exposed, do you?"

Xin Su put her arms around Zhong Li's waist with a wicked smile on her face.

I originally wanted to put my arm around his shoulders, but I don’t know what this guy ate to grow so tall, so the picture looks a bit weird.

"Then, based on the God of my contract, what price are you willing to let me pay?"
