Chapter 253

Guyun Stone Forest!

An ancient saying goes: its danger startles the heavens, with layers of rock piled up.

Huge stone spears pierced the clouds, with majestic momentum; it was hard to imagine what kind of craftsmanship could create them.

Now, this vast and wild isolated island welcomed two strangers.

"Lumine, that guy Tartaglia isn't lying to us, right?!"

Walking on the beach where the shallow sea constantly rippled, Paimon looked around and muttered.

According to the story told by the people he sent, if they wanted to sneak into the Golden House, they had to move the Millelith nearby.

Since that was the case, they had to create a big enough commotion.

Lumine was silent, her heart also filled with confusion.

This was her first time coming here; according to what Tartaglia said, they only needed to let the Sigil of Permission bloom here, and it would attract the attention of the Millelith.

At that time, the defense of the Golden House would definitely be weak, and invading it would naturally be easy.

"In this ghost place, where is the location he wants us to reach?"

Flying to a high place to look, Paimon really couldn't find the direction.

It seemed the same everywhere; steep peaks rose one after another, connecting the entire isolated island into one piece.

Lumine raised her head upon hearing this, took out the map sent by Tartaglia's people, and watched it carefully.

After searching for a long time, she followed the point marked on it.

"Alas, we really have a life of toil; we ran for so long with Zhongli, and after finally preparing the things for the Rite of Parting, now we have to come here to do things. Why don't they send others to do it?"

Paimon complained incessantly, her small mouth babbling, a long paragraph of words coming out.

"And until now, we've only received the Mora left over by Childe; it's so little, how stingy!"

"He was clearly very generous when paying for Zhongli; couldn't he give us a few hundred thousand Mora?"

Ignoring the little thing's complaints, Lumine followed the map and searched carefully.

Not long after, she finally found the location...

That was a massive formation hidden by many piles of rubble.

There were three formations in total, distributed in three directions.

Spending some time clearing away the rubble, Lumine looked at these formations back and forth.

Paimon muttered: "It seems we need to use Geo energy to unlock it."

Lumine examined it carefully for a moment, excluding the little thing's interference.

She was quite familiar with such sealing formations, mainly because she had accumulated enough experience from Mondstadt to Liyue.

"Hold this for me."

Throwing the map to Paimon, Lumine walked back and forth, sweeping out the dust-covered stone pillars around, and pushed them one by one to fixed positions.

After all the stone pillars were in place, Lumine returned to the place where she started and looked at the formation that had been unlocked by filling it with Geo energy.

"Are we really going to do what he said?" At the last moment, Paimon was a bit worried.

Lumine couldn't help but pause her movements.

Indeed, she had met Ningguang before and knew that Tartaglia was ill-intentioned, although he wasn't targeting her.

Hesitating, Lumine looked at the dozen or so Sigils of Permission in her arms and couldn't make up her mind; she always felt that she shouldn't do this.

"Lord Childe's prediction was correct; this Traveler is truly powerful; even such a formation couldn't stump her."

Suddenly, a few Fatui figures appeared behind the two.

Paimon looked at them vigilantly and questioned: "What are you here for?"

Lumine felt something was wrong; she had felt uneasy when she unlocked the formation just now, to the point where she had considered giving up.

"Hahaha, leave the rest to us! You can go back and rendezvous with Lord Childe!"

A total of three Fatui members each took out a dozen Sigils of Permission and stood in their respective places, preparing to activate the power of the talismans.

"We will definitely report this credit for breaking the Archon's seal to Lord Childe; please rest assured."

After the three Fatui members finished speaking, Lumine's expression changed instantly.

This was actually the Archon's seal?!

Paimon's small face also turned white, and she shouted: "Stop them quickly!"

Just as Lumine, with a sunken face, was about to make a move, the Sigils of Permission had already bloomed with dazzling light, illuminating the entire Guyun Stone Forest very clearly.

"It's ruined!"

Lumine's heart sank, knowing that she had been used because of the information asymmetry. ===== CHAPTER 255 =====
