Chapter 36 The Sun and Stars (6)
Since Keli didn't say where to go next, Bai Qiyun could only take her to wander around the city.
But the good thing about Spark Knight is that even if she is fishing, no one will say anything to her.
Firstly, Keli is a child and everyone likes her very much. Secondly, she has a good brother. Abedo is very busy for the knights, which can be regarded as making up for the favor owed to Keli.
Who told Alice to leave her daughter here and not take care of it? Abedo still had to bear the final blame.
Maybe he himself understood this truth, so he was extremely serious when teaching alchemy to the Knights. In this way, the Alchemy attainments of the Knights could develop by such a rapid pace.
Bai Qiyun and Keli found a place to sit down near the city gate. From here, they could vaguely see the statue of the God of Wind in the distance.
"Ah, it's Miss Flora."
A little girl in a floral skirt ran past the two of them. Keli's eyes were particularly sharp and she immediately recognized the person who just passed by.
"Oh? That little kid?"
Flora, who was called "Miss" by Keli, seemed to Bai Qiyun to be an out-and-out child.
He wasn't surprised that Keli could recognize a child, but this title... was a bit problematic.
"child?"
After hearing Bai Qiyun's question, Keli raised a slightly confused face, and her ears that were originally straight now drooped.
"Miss Flora is a mature woman."
"Become... a mature woman?"
Bai Qiyun quickly confirmed the direction in which the little girl was running, and then pointed at the little girl who was still standing in front of the counter of the Adventurers Association communicating with Catherine.
"Isn't that the Flora you're talking about?"
"Yes, that's Miss Flora."
After receiving Keli's affirmation again, Bai Qiyun felt a little unrealistic.
No matter how you say that person with that height and appearance, there is no way she could be an adult woman.
"Hiss~"
Taking a breath of cold air, the young man fell into deep doubts.
The leaves on the trees swayed slightly with the gentle breeze, scattering the shadows on the ground mottled.
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Qiyun still didn't understand this matter. He could only attribute it to the humanities and customs of Mondstadt.
Just leave it to your future self to study.
After sitting with Bai Qiyun for a long time, Keli saw that the elder brother beside her didn't seem to be unhappy at all, so she plucked up the courage to make a suggestion.
"Well, big brother, why don't we go out for a walk in the city."
Because she was very nervous, Keli rubbed her little hands in private. She understood that any request basically determines the other party's attitude the first time. If Bai Qiyun does not agree this time, then it is estimated that the next one will
I can only stay in Mondstadt for a few days.
After finally being able to go out for some fun, it was a bit of a waste to just wander around the city.
"Ah? Leaving the city?"
Bai Qiyun did not think of the option of leaving the city at first.
After all, he was from Liyue and was not very familiar with the outside of Mondstadt. In addition, his previous experience with Bennett made him somewhat inexplicably resistant to the outside of the city.
However, he was quite reassured about Keli's safety, because as long as you didn't go too far outside Mondstadt, such as the Lookout Mountains where he went last time, there should be no danger.
Moreover, the Fire God's Eye hanging brightly on the back of Keli's schoolbag has already lit up a life star.
In other words, from a certain perspective, this little guy's combat effectiveness is much higher than Bennett's.
As long as he doesn't encounter the monster that appeared last time, even if another Abyss Mage comes, Bai Qiyun will be confident in escaping from the other party's hands.
"Well...it's not impossible."
"Eh?"
She didn't expect that her long-cherished idea would come true so easily, and Keli was a little surprised.
In her opinion, the possibility of rejection is greater.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Keli's mouth opened in surprise, Bai Qiyun was a little confused.
Wasn't what you said just now wrong?
"No, no, no, it's nothing, hehe."
Now Keli is like a child who has stolen some candy, with happiness written all over her face, and her big, watery eyes are now narrowed into slits.
Although he felt a little strange about the little girl's unusual tone, Bai Qiyun still took Keli's hand and walked out of the city.
————————————
After passing by the dandelion meadow in front of the Mondstadt city gate and Timmy who was spreading wheat for the pigeons to eat on the bridge, Bai Qiyun followed the bouncing Keli and walked farther away.
"Hey, big brother, do you want to go to Xingluo Lake?"
After not frying fish for a few days, Keli's hands felt a little itchy again. However, this time she had just left the solitary room, so she didn't bring many bombs, so she had to use them sparingly.
After weighing the backpack behind her, Keli probably had an idea in her mind.
After crossing the moat of Mondstadt, there is an endless prairie in front of us, and in the distance we can faintly see the big tree in the wind.
"Xingluo Lake?"
Walking on the lush green grass, Bai Qiyun took out a map and searched for this location.
He seemed to have seen this place name on the map before when he was taking the Adventurers Association membership assessment.
Open the map and walk left along the road in front of Mondstadt City. After passing through the Whispering Forest, continue along this road and you will see Starfall Lake.
The last time we turned back from Fengqi Land to Wangfeng Mountain, we walked close to Guojiu Lake, so we didn't get to see Xingluo Lake along the way.
I heard that 'golden seabass' is also produced there. As a chef, how could Bai Qiyun let go of this good opportunity?
Bai Qiyun measured the distance on the map. He could make the round trip in about a day, so it should be no problem.
"But is there anything interesting about Xingluo Lake? You really want to go."
While chatting with Keli, Bai Qiyun confirmed the trial works that were rushed out yesterday. Although the quantity was not large, it should be enough for self-protection.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah...well, the fish in Xingluo Lake are delicious!"
For an outsider of the Knights, Keli had no idea of keeping secrets, or in other words, she only told half the truth.
It’s true that fish is delicious, and it’s true that fried fish is fun.
As we all know, telling half the truth is not lying, so Keli is still a good and honest child.
Hey!
"Oh~ Really."
Looking at the little guy's erratic eyes, Bai Qiyun didn't know that there must be something fishy in it.
But what does this have to do with him? Anyway, he also wants to see Xingluo Lake.
He looked at Kelly, then looked into the distance.
It takes two or three hours to get to Xingluo Lake from Mondstadt City. Thanks to the Knights of the West Wind who had just cleaned up the area around Mondstadt City before, the two of them arrived at Xingluo Lake without encountering any obstacles along the way.
The clear lake water sparkled in front of the two of them. When the breeze blew gently, the water surface was like a broken mirror, floating away.
There is a small island in the lake, and there is a statue of the Seven Heavenly Gods on it.
The boy-like statue stood quietly in the lake, watching the land like a guardian angel.
During these thousands of years, there is no way of knowing how many people have prayed to it here, and how many people the gods have responded to.
In the clear lake water, many fish could be seen swimming, but Bai Qiyun looked around and did not find the so-called golden bass.
Maybe it's the wrong season?
Well, you’ve come here, so it’s not good to go back empty-handed, so just grab a few at will.
The bitter puffer over there, it’s up to you.
The light green pufferfish was swimming back and forth in the water, completely unaware of the crisis it was about to face, and was still swimming forward in line with the golden red false dragon in front.
After moving his shoulders a little, Bai Qiyun planned to use the oldest method to catch the fish.
What? You asked me what the oldest method is? Haha, of course it is——
"Bounce bomb!"
The fiery red doll bomb was thrown from the little girl's hand, and fell into the Xingluo Lake with a trace of fire elemental power for detonation.
One second passed, two seconds passed.
"Peng!"
A violent wave of water exploded directly in front of Bai Qiyun. He had made the right decision to put his backpack far away in preparation for going into the water to catch fish. Otherwise, the bag would have been soaked so close.
Only the backpack was spared from the murderous hands, but Bai Qiyun was not spared.
Although Keli did not throw a bomb at him, the splash of the bomb detonated in the water still made him drown.
The originally refreshing hair was suddenly soaked by the heavy rain, which reminded Bai Qiyun of the chicken he had shed in the kitchen.
He turned around and stared at Keli, who was scratching her hair and turning her face away, a little embarrassed.
Now, he finally understood why a child with divine eyes still needed others to take care of him.
The feelings are not to protect this little guy, but to watch over her and not hurt others.
