Genshin Impact: Hello! Traveler

(No one reads, so I just gave up for the past few days. I've been playing Genshin Impact recently and don't have time to write. In addition, with the help of a kind anchor, I finally got full stars on the 12th floor of Abyss. It's my first time. I've played for about 250 days. As a light-paying player in half-XP and half-strength, I should be considered above average, right?)

The Guardian Forest is located south-east of Yingxiang Mountain.

Although the common scenes of small demons scaring passers-by like hundreds of years ago are no longer here, at night, this place becomes a forest of pseudo-demons that have awakened their spirits but lack true wisdom.

The people who come and go here most frequently nowadays are the Kamisato siblings who often travel between Narukami Island and Kamisato's residence.

Walking in the familiar path, Linghua really enjoyed the time she was spending with the travelers.

Seeing people around her talking endlessly about all the strange people and things that happened during their travels, Linghua's desire to go outside became even stronger.

Traveling through the seven countries with travelers is probably the most romantic and happy thing in life.

"If you ask me, the most hellish place is the so-called architectural ruins of the Red King civilization in the Xumi Desert. I was almost trapped to death several times. Fortunately, a kind-hearted senior in Xumi summarized his personal experience, and Paimon and I escaped again and again..."

"If you don't have a lumen stone in this rock abyss, even if you use elemental vision, the strange energy in it will seriously interfere with your perception..."

"In fact, without strong strength, traveling abroad will be difficult, especially for ordinary people. I have seen too many adventurers die on the road, for the so-called fame, wealth, or their own ideals. But daring to risk one's life for one's ideal is also a kind of greatness."

The same goes for that little girl who had followed him for a long time in the Abyss and kept calling him “Senior”.

The seemingly carefree last words actually cause so much harm to those of us who care about them.

"Traveler, are you still thinking about Zhiqiong?" Hearing the heavy atmosphere of the conversation, Paimon hurriedly flew to his side from behind and asked worriedly.

"No, I just feel a little emotional. Sorry, Linghua, I hope it doesn't affect your mood?"

Linghua, who was listening, was also understanding. She shook her head and said softly:

"It was me who brought up this topic, which brought up sad memories for you. There's no need to apologize to me."

"Maybe it's because I haven't experienced so much. I used to think that life outside would be more exciting than here."

"Haha, I don't blame you. Young people are always full of energy and vigor. Although most of the time time will always smooth out the edges, Linghua, as long as you keep your original intention now, you can live more freely." The traveler smiled with relief.

"So, Traveler, you have experienced a lot? Then can I ask you how old you are now?" This is the question Linghua has always wanted to ask the Traveler.

The traveler who looked almost the same as her, seemed to have not changed at all even after several months had passed and he had grown up a little.

"Ah? You ask this. I'm not too sure. I've traveled around the universe with my sister so many times that I can't remember clearly. Thousands of years? Tens of thousands of years? Forget it. Age is not something worth discussing for me. I've forgotten too much and I can't remember clearly." The traveler touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Yes, is that so..." Linghua was a little speechless after hearing the traveler's answer.

For some reason, I feel a slight sense of loss in my heart.

I thought of a sad and beautiful novel I had read before about a love affair between a human and a monster. The heroine died in less than a hundred years because she was an ordinary person, and the monster could only live on in the world. In the end, it lost its magic power and turned into a white fox to accompany the heroine at the place where she was buried...

I am just an ordinary person. I will grow old in a few decades, and I will turn into yellow soil and return to the earth in a hundred years.

The birth, aging, sickness and death of ordinary people are nothing but a flash in the pan in the eyes of those beings with long lifespans.

Before they knew it, a hundred years had passed, the building was empty and only regrets remained.

What's more, the lifespan of the Traveler may be longer than that of those immortal species.

After endless years, does he still remember that thousands of years ago, a girl spent the happiest time with him in a small world of Teyvat?

I probably wouldn't remember it. Even the faces of my father and mother are a little blurry, let alone a thousand years later.

Suddenly, she felt a suffocating feeling as if she couldn't breathe. The girl felt fear and sadness about the theory of life span in the novel.

Flowers have their day of withering, and people have their day of death.

Linghua, Linghua, you will always be one step ahead of the travelers...

"Linghua, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Linghua's somewhat sad face, the traveler stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Ah...no...it's okay. I just feel a little sad when I see the withering crimson cherry petals next to me." After coming back to her senses, Linghua quickly restored her expression.

"It's almost here. I've already told the people of the final mission. Brother and Thomas will come to the gate of the mansion to welcome you."

"Ah, no need to be so polite, I just came here to meet them. I still have to go to Yingxiang Mountain to meet Yae Shenzi later."

"It's okay, traveler. As Inazuma's great benefactor, I have long wanted to reunite with you."

"Uh, could it be some weird hodgepodge of dishes?"

……

"Hey, traveler, long time no see. You are finally here, a busy man."

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you haven't changed at all. Even Paimon seems to have gained weight."

"Hey, you bad Thomas who talks bad things in front of others! Don't even think about letting me eat any of the food that Ayato makes." Paimon puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Haha, sorry."

While Thomas and Paimon were talking, Ayato stepped forward, nodded to Ayahua, and then smiled and said:

"Traveler, I also know a little about your recent situation. A few months ago, I was ordered by the general to visit Fontaine on behalf of Inazuma to discuss relevant matters. I had some preliminary acquaintance with the water god. I can take this opportunity to introduce the unspoken rules of Fontaine."

"So, let's eat and talk. I've prepared a lot of food. Eat whatever you want."

"Okay, then Paimon and I would like to thank you for your hospitality, Ayato."
