Chapter 18: Liyue! Yujing Terrace! The Meeting of the Geo Archon and the Anemo Archon!

Liyue!

Yujing Terrace!

As a place of weight in Liyue Harbor, it was also a place where many people burned incense and prayed.

Antique pavilions and towers rose one after another; looking around, the carved beams and painted rafters, the water pavilions and gorgeous textiles were as vast as the sea.

The vermilion-red walls were magnificent, winding for miles around the clear pool dotted with lotus leaves.

Below, the solemn and dignified General Affairs Office sat in the center, with traffic as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

In the middle was a five-story pagoda, its spire reaching into the clouds, its high gate facing the street.

Above, it was the place where the Liyue the Liyue Qixing resided to assist the Geo Archon.

The wind blew through the windows, clouds rose from the beams, vermilion pillars were carved with rafters, and the pictures depicted all the immortals.

The flamboyant flying eaves were carved with cloud patterns, and the glazed tiles reflecting the light were eye-catching.

Looking from afar, it was as if the nine heavens had opened the heavenly gate.

However, what was surprising was that the road leading to Yujing Terrace on weekdays was now guarded by the Millelith layer by layer; except for birds, no one could climb the high terrace.

And when they reached the high terrace, the heavily guarded Millelith could not be seen; the empty square was filled with gorgeous and complicated furs and tables.

Among them, the seven main tables were the most conspicuous, leaning against each other in a heptagram shape.

Fine wine, melons, and fruits were set upon them, and mountain delicacies and seafood were all present.

Dozens of maids were making final arrangements, placing the offerings before the imperial throne in an orderly manner.

After all, this was a meeting of the Seven Archons of the mortal world, and there could be no omissions, otherwise, it would be the Archon’s face that was lost.

Standing on the side directing the maids was one of the noble the Liyue Qixing standing at the high level of Liyue, Tianshu, who looked very serious.

Confirming that everything was proceeding as planned, Tianshu whispered instructions to the girl with black and red mixed exquisite Qilin horns.

The girl nodded constantly, and a moment later moved toward the high place of Yujing Terrace.

There, the Geo Archon, who had walked with Liyue for three thousand years, was standing here.

At the very top of the pavilion, a young man with a handsome and gentle appearance like jade was standing with one hand behind his back, enjoying the scenery.

Although his face was young, his eyes were mixed with the vicissitudes of thousands of years of ups and downs; but looking closely, the small braid tied up and the hanging earrings gave him a bit more uninhibitedness.

"Archon, the banquet is ready."

Sensing someone coming, the Geo Archon nodded slightly: "I am aware."

After a short pause, finding that the visitor had not left, he couldn't help but turn his head, his warm and thick voice making one feel like a spring breeze.

"Anything else?"

Ganyu hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "That, will Master come?"

Recalling that the last time she saw Master was a hundred years ago, she had already changed a lot and had many things she wanted to tell Master.

The Archon couldn't help but sigh and said truthfully: "That person acts as he pleases; whether he will come, I do not know either."

"Oh."

Ganyu was inevitably disappointed; if she hadn't become the secretary of the the Liyue Qixing and taken on various affairs, she would have been unable to suppress the thought of running to Inazuma to find Master.

During the conversation, a gust of wind suddenly rose from the sky.

Both of them cast their eyes at the same time.

Looking from afar, a giant dragon, beautiful under the sunlight, was traveling through the sea of clouds and rushing toward Yujing Terrace.

Three pairs of wings flapped at the same time, the sea of clouds churned violently, and the body crossed several kilometers in an instant like an arrow from a bow.

The high-pitched dragon roar seemed to announce its arrival.

A moment ago it was still far away in the sky, but in an instant, it had arrived above Yujing Terrace.

The Archon and Ganyu squinted and looked up, only to see a small black dot jump down from the dragon’s back.

As it fell, the small black dot became more and more obvious. ===== CHAPTER 31 =====

Riding the breeze, it was a boy dressed like a bard.

With short black hair and two emerald green braids hanging by his ears, his delicate little face looked like he was not yet an adult.

He was dressed in a baroque tight-fitting top, white silk sticking to his slender legs under green shorts, and a green cloak behind him.

It was a complete sense of a young master from some family sneaking out.

Pressing the beret with a Cecilia flower inserted, the Anemo Archon who came riding the dragon floated slowly before the two, first shouting at the beautiful dragon above.

"Thank you, Dvalin, go back!"

The giant dragon roared in response, then flapped its wings violently and plunged into the clouds, returning leisurely along the original path.

Sending away his kin, the boy who came down with the wind then greeted the Geo Archon.

"I’m punctual enough, right, Morax?"

The Archon said unhurriedly: "Like every year, you are still the first."

"Eh, the others haven't arrived yet?"

Looking at his colleague who was jumping and laughing, the Geo Archon shook his head constantly.

This colleague was good in every way, but this personality was truly giving him a headache.

"Hehe, this time I brought the best dandelion wine in Mondstadt, are you looking forward to it? I’ll let you taste it in a while."

Barbatos shook the wine gourd hanging from his waist, his face full of proud little expressions.

"I hope so."

The Archon’s face was very calm; he didn't hold much expectation for the best wine in Barbatos’s mouth; it was the same every year, but unfortunately, it often brought greater disappointment.

Reasonably speaking, everything used by the gods should be the best in the world.

But this colleague was different, spending his days not knowing how to live, not even having money to buy wine.

Living to this point could be considered a freak among the gods.

Originally, slandering a colleague was by no means the way of a gentleman, but because he was too bizarre, even Morax couldn't help but sigh silently.

Just like hundreds of years ago, Barbatos forged his handwriting, lying that the corrupt old aristocracy of Mondstadt had sold Mondstadt to the Geo Archon, thereby sparking a popular uprising to completely overthrow the old aristocracy.

Although he was severely taught a lesson after the truth was known, being able to do such a thing was enough to show the Anemo Archon’s unconstrained and jaw-dropping strange personality.

After showing off, Barbatos suddenly asked: "Right, Luo Li won't not come this time, right?"

Facing the same question, the Archon gave a unified answer.

"Not clear."

The Anemo Archon scratched his cheek: "Ahahaha, is that so? If only I could drink his wine again."

The gluttonous boy swallowed his saliva, clearly itching to drink.

"That’s true; his wine, I haven't found anything comparable in thousands of years." The Archon agreed rarely.

Ganyu, who heard that neither of the two gods knew whether Master would come, had to retreat in low spirits.

Returning to the high terrace of Yujing, she found that the the Liyue Qixing had all arrived, and many immortals who usually lived in seclusion in Jueyun Karst had also arrived quietly.

For such a grand ceremony, the immortals should sit at the end, and the the Liyue Qixing should add wine and coordinate.
