Chapter 388: Truly my lord?! (Please Subscribe!!)

~4 min read 763 words

Although entering the Abyss was no good thing, at the very least it proved Rhinedottir had not perished in the Khaenri'ah war.

Just then, a waiter from Wangshu Inn came up carrying the prepared meal.

"Alright, I've explained your questions clearly enough."

"Now, let's taste some of Liyue's signature dishes."

Jiang Yan smiled, picked up a piece of Golden Shrimp Balls with his chopsticks for Alice, and said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Alice thanked him softly.

After a pleasant meal, Jiang Yan led her toward Liyue Harbor.

Alice's original intention was to travel for fun; after receiving answers to her questions, she was clearly much more relaxed.

After Rhinedottir vanished, she left too many questions for her.

First, about a hundred years after Rhinedottir disappeared, a boy named Albedo sought her out, bringing a letter of recommendation from Rhinedottir.

The original Alice was overjoyed, thinking she had found news of Rhinedottir.

But after Albedo's explanation, Alice still felt somewhat disappointed.

Because Albedo did not know where Master had gone either.

After the Khaenri'ah war, she vanished without a trace.

So Alice also wished to travel across Teyvat, first to seek out her old friends, and second to record Teyvat's customs and culture on paper.

"This is Guili Plains."

Arriving at the northern end of Guili Plains, Jiang Yan said to Alice with a smile.

Since the Adeptus' resentment within the sword scar had been crafted by Jiang Yan into an Adeptal Bomb, over the following thousand years, Guili Plains had developed continuously and fully recovered to the scale it held before the Archon War.

It was Liyue's second-largest city.

Second only to Liyue's capital, Liyue Harbor.

"How prosperous!"

Alice's eyes widened as she looked at the bustling, surging crowd before her; this was a sight unseen in Mondstadt.

Compared to Liyue's lively scene.

Mondstadt felt more like leisure and freedom.

Because Mondstadt, as a city of freedom, was permeated everywhere with an air of carefree looseness.

The people were the same.

But the feeling Liyue gave Alice was distinctly different.

Everyone seemed to have their own tasks to attend to.

They were busy; they were fulfilled.

The Millelith, cleansed by Jiang Yan, were now diligently patrolling the streets and alleys.

After the Millelith incident, this group of Millelith was clearly much more obedient.

After all, their predecessors were still hanging on the execution ground.

This time, the Millelith had lost their previous arrogance and bullying demeanor entirely.

"What is that over there?"

Alice pointed her finger at a spot where a crowd had gathered in the distance and asked in confusion.

"Where?"

Jiang Yan looked in the direction Alice was pointing.

He saw a group of people gathered together, bustling, with no one knowing what they were discussing.

"Over there."

Jiang Yan suddenly understood.

"That place is a tourist attraction."

The spot Alice had just pointed to was the sword scar Jiang Yan had carved out back then by gathering the faith of Liyue's people and wielding Excalibur.

Later, after Jiang Yan absorbed the Adeptal resentment, it was transformed into a tourist attraction.

Used to commemorate the Archon War of those days.

"Eh? A tourist attraction!"

Curiosity flashed in Alice's eyes.

"Then let's go take a look!"

Jiang Yan nodded and led Alice toward the place where the crowd had gathered.

On the other side, a woman leading a group of children was also heading toward the sword scar.

They wore uniform clothing, and on each of their youthful faces was a hint of excitement.

"Classmates, right ahead is the site of the Archon War."

"Does any child know what story this site tells?"

The woman at the head, an (abbh), appeared to be a teacher, and was explaining the matter of the sword scar to this group of children.

"I know, I know!"

A child raised his hand high and said:

"Because during the Archon War, some Archons launched a surprise attack on Guili Plains in alliance."

"my lord from the Adepti solved the western battlefield and rushed over, slew those Archons with a single sword strike, and left behind a very long sword scar."

After the child finished speaking, the teacher nodded, patted the child's head, and said with a smile:

"Classmate Xiao Hui spoke very well; everyone, applaud to encourage him!"

The children clapped noisily, and just at that moment, the teacher noticed a little girl staring blankly in a certain direction.

"Xiao Mei, what are you looking at?"

The teacher's gentle voice rose beside Xiao Mei's ear, and Xiao Mei's small body shuddered violently as she turned around.
