Chapter 117

Dragonspine!

At this very moment, Luo Li, who was on this icy mountain range, didn't know that the news of him not being dead had already been exposed.

He was staring at the silver-white ancient tree that seemed to have died.

Compared to five hundred years ago, the withered ancient tree was entwined with wisps of blood-red, and quite a few blood-red ores were scattered around.

The silent ancient tree was motionless, completely covered by ice, but Luo Li clearly felt a weak life force growing slowly inside.

"It's going to come back to life after all."

The reason he came here was because Dragonspine buried an ancient civilization.

Sal Vindagnyr.

Luo Li wanted to learn more about the reasons and motives for the Heavenly Principles destroying the ancient kingdom.

Speaking of which, Vindagnyr and Mondstadt shared the same origin.

Three thousand years ago, unable to bear the rule of the isolated King of the Tower of Storms, two tribes led the people away.

One was the Gunnhildr clan, which opened up the wind and snow to reach the land of present-day Mondstadt.

As for the second, it was the ancient tribe that established Vindagnyr.

At that time, Dragonspine was like a paradise, with fertile land, birds singing, and flowers blooming.

Here, the ancestors of Vindagnyr multiplied and lived until countless generations later.

At that time, the priest of the ancient kingdom gave birth to a princess and worshipped the silver-white ancient tree.

But one day, Celestia suddenly dropped the Skyfrost Nail, cutting off the vitality of the ancient tree.

After isolating the ley lines, Dragonspine gradually deteriorated and was slowly covered by ice and snow, and the people of the ancient kingdom left here became fewer and fewer.

Finally, only one warrior carried the princess's blessing, intending to find a way out.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he found nothing. When he returned, the ancient kingdom had already perished, and the princess had already died.

With self-mockery, the warrior buried the Snow-Tombed Starsilver greatsword here and embarked on a solitary journey alone, until he reached Mondstadt.

And the one who recorded all this was the scribe at the time, Ukko.

Which was the giant Frostarm Lawachurl that Luo Li was staring at in the distance.

"The princess died, and Sal Vindagnyr was left with only one person. As a result, even the last person who buried the princess was cursed by the gods and turned into this appearance..."

It wasn't that Luo Li was particularly sad; he had seen too many joys and sorrows over thousands of years, so at most, he only had a trace of emotion left.

"According to the timeline, when Vindagnyr perished, Khaenri'ah had just been established."

Luo Li deduced based on various details; after all, there were too many riddle-makers around him, and he had to rely on himself to know the truth.

He pondered for a long time.

"Very well, another day wasted."

Stretching, he ignored the freezing weather. Luo Li took one last look at Ukko, the Frostarm Lawachurl sitting on the ground as if still guarding the ancient kingdom, without the thought of completely freeing him from the curse.

"Time to go back."

Thinking of Makoto waiting for him at home, he might even hear a famous line when he got home.

For example, eat first, bathe first, or eat her first.

Once this thought occurred, Luo Li was suddenly eager to return.

Dragonspine was over a thousand miles away from Mondstadt, but it took him only a short quarter of an hour to return.

"Hmm, Mondstadt hasn't changed today either."

Muttering, he flashed a few times from the sky far from the city gate into the Anemo Archon Plaza.

Because Mondstadt had flight control regulations, flying around casually was generally not allowed, so he used a more concise and convenient spatial movement; anyway, no one could discover it.

It was just that when he entered the manor, he strangely found that the manor was much livelier than usual.

"... Besides Fischl, who else? Barbara, Noelle, or Sucrose, Klee? It couldn't be Eula, could it?"

Luo Li ruled them out one by one according to their closeness; generally, those who could come to his house were basically these familiar girls.

Holding doubts, he pushed open the ajar gate.

Then, guests completely beyond his expectations appeared in his field of vision.

"Yo, long time no see, Luo Li!"

The boy, who hadn't changed at all from five hundred years ago, was leaning on a seat, showing a bright smile as he greeted him.

Beside Venti, the blonde girl wearing a white flower and the flying emergency food were also curiously sizing up the male owner of this house.

Paimon was disappointed for a moment; Luo Li was completely different from the image she had outlined in her little head, or rather, the opposite of being burly and powerful.

He was quite tall, and he also looked very good; he was the best-looking one she had ever seen, bar none!

After a brief moment of being stunned, he woke up. Luo Li asked Raiden Makoto, who was coming over to welcome him from the kitchen counter.

"Who is this person? Why did you let a stranger in?"

Raiden Makoto couldn't help but curl her lips and cooperate with the acting: "I thought you knew him. Since you don't know him, then throw him out."

Venti was dumbfounded on the spot and hurriedly shouted in fear.

"Hey! You two don't pretend not to know me! Be careful, or I'll tell Beelzebul the news that you are still alive!"

Hearing this, the first one to react wasn't Luo Li, but Raiden Makoto.

"If you say it out, you're dead."

Even though she said it with a smile and her tone was very gentle, it gave people the illusion of a chill.

Paimon hurriedly hid behind Lumine, muttering in a low voice as if afraid of being heard: "Why do I suddenly feel so scared?"

Lumine agreed with this, and for a moment, she didn't even dare to ask the purpose of her coming. ===== CHAPTER 119 =====
