Chapter 68: Luo Li: Who is this person? I don't know him, kick him out! Venti: ???

Venti was stunned for a while and let out a long breath.

To be able to see the original Seven Archons after five hundred years, I have to say it was a surprise.

"Although I guessed it might be Luo Li, I didn't expect it to really be you, Baal."

The conversation between the two left Fischl confused. So you guys know each other; it was a waste of her agonizing over whether to bring them here.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood seeing an old friend, Venti leaned over and said: "Where is Luo Li? Call him out quickly."

"He hasn't returned yet. Come in and wait."

When she said this, Fischl clearly felt that the usually gentle Sister Makoto seemed like a different person; that indescribable extraordinary temperament made people almost afraid to look directly at her.

Just like... when they first met.

Venti gave a grin: "Then I'll be intruding."

Even though he was a guest visiting for the first time, he acted more relaxed and casual than Fischl, who had been here many times.

Paimon was dizzy: "What is going on?"

She and Lumine looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

But standing at the door wasn't the answer, so in the end, they honestly entered the house, intending to see how things developed. ===== CHAPTER 118 =====

…………

Dragonspine!

At this very moment, Luo Li, who was in this cold mountain range, didn't know that the news of his survival had 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 now surrounded by wisps of blood-red color, and there were many blood-red ores scattered around.

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

"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 Celestia 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 lone king of the Tower of Decarabian, two tribes led their people away.

One was the Gunnhildr clan, which cleared 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 for countless generations.

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

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

After the ley lines were cut off, Dragonspine gradually deteriorated, slowly covered by ice and snow, and the descendants of the ancient kingdom left here became fewer and fewer.

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

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time without success, when he returned, the ancient kingdom had been destroyed, and the princess had died.

With self-mockery, the warrior buried the Snow-Tombed Starsilver greatsword here and embarked on a solitary journey 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. In the end, even the last person who finished burying the princess was cursed by the gods to become this appearance..."

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

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

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

After thinking 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 intention of completely freeing him from the curse.

"Time to go back."

Thinking of Makoto waiting for him at home, he might even hear the famous lines when he got back.

Like eating first, bathing first, or eating her first.

With this thought, Luo Li was suddenly eager to return.

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

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

Muttering, he entered the Anemo Archon Plaza from the sky far from the city gate with a few flashes.

Because Mondstadt had flight control regulations, flying around casually was generally not allowed, so he used a simpler and more 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, right."

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 his doubts, he pushed open the slightly ajar gate.

Then, completely unexpected guests appeared in his field of vision.

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

The youth, who hadn't changed at all from five hundred years ago, leaned on his seat and was greeting him with a bright smile.

Beside Venti, the blonde girl wearing a white flower and the flying emergency food were also curiously sizing up the master of the 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 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 daze, Luo Li woke up and 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 play along: "I thought you knew him. Since you don't know him, let's kick him out."

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

"Hey! You two, don't pretend you don't know me! Be careful, or I'll tell Beelzebub that you're still alive!"

Hearing this, the first 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 a gentle tone, it gave people the illusion of chilling to the bone.

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

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