Chapter 418
Hearing this definite news, Kafka's eyelid twitched violently, and she took several deep breaths.
It made no sense; originally, everything had been paved smoothly.
How could they suddenly leave out of the blue?
In Elio's predictions, there was absolutely no scenario involving a mid-journey escape.
Even if the future had deviated, it could not have deviated to this extent.
The Astral Express suddenly fleeing mid-journey caught her completely off guard.
What should be done next?
For a moment, Kafka frowned tightly; the departure of the Astral Express crew had completely disrupted her steps and plans.
Moreover, what was the reason for the Astral Express crew's sudden departure? Why did they leave so abruptly?
For a moment, Kafka rubbed her brow: "Try contacting them; see if we can get through. We've contacted them before, so projecting directly over should be no problem."
"I already tried; it didn't work. It seems the other party has blocked the coordinates."
"Blocked coordinates? Let me try."
Hearing this, Kafka took a deep breath and then began attempting to make contact.
However, when the communication signal was sent, only a "beep, beep, beep" sound came through.
Even when she tried to activate the trace coordinates that had previously appeared on the Astral Express, she could not activate them.
This indicated the other party was under an absolute prohibition against being contacted.
For a moment, Kafka frowned tightly; things had become thoroughly troublesome.
Unable to even establish contact, had the Astral Express shut down this type of communication, or were they in a situation where their coordinates were blocked?
Either possibility fell completely outside Elio's original plan.
While Kafka was confused and suffering from a headache,
on the continent of Teyvat,
in Liyue,
at the harbor of Liyue Harbor,
March 7th, Stelle, and Welt—the three of them—had already disembarked from the Astral Express and clearly saw the crowd of people gathered in the distance, engaged in discussion.
Meanwhile, the people gathered in the distance, who were discussing, saw the Astral Express suddenly emit a "roar."
Each one of them was instantly startled and hurriedly retreated.
As the cabin door opened, March 7th and the others walked down.
"Someone came out of that iron lump."
"Uh, why is their attire so strange? Which nation's style is this?"
"It's definitely not Mondstadt or our Liyue; Inazuma's clothing is of that ancient style, and Sumeru wears long robes. These fellows' clothes look more like adventurer gear."
"Uh, now that you mention it, it really does look like that. The adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild wear clothes of this style too. Could it be that they are adventurers from some other place?"
"Possible. I suspect there's a high probability they're from Fontaine. Fontaine has many strange and peculiar things; this object might have been developed there, carrying adventurers over."
"Only Vision holders from Fontaine would be able to use such strange and peculiar devices, yet I don't see any Visions on them."
"That little girl with pink hair looks very pretty. For some reason, from her, I seem to perceive the demeanor of Director Hu Tao; both are so lively and cheerful."
"Give me a break."
Watching March 7th and the others disembark, the people of Liyue discussed one after another.
While they were discussing, March 7th and the others, having disembarked, also looked around.
While looking around and checking the message sent by Lin Mo, she said to Stelle: "Lin Mo said that the ones who hold sway here in Liyue are the Liyue Liyue Qixing. I wonder if we'll meet any big shots this time."
"We definitely will."
Hearing March 7th's words, Stelle looked speechless: "Just look at how much commotion our landing caused; it will surely attract their attention. All we need to do next is stroll around this so-called Liyue while we wait."
"Speaking of which, those patrolling soldiers look somewhat like the Cloud Knights; the armor and weapons they wear also don't seem ordinary. However, their physical constitution feels much weaker; apart from not matching those Cloud Knights, there's nothing else."
While speaking, Stelle sized up the Millelith not far away.
There were patrolling Millelith and stationed Millelith, all looking in their direction.
"Greetings, we are the Millelith of Liyue."
Seeing March 7th and the others step out of the strange iron lump, a Millelith soldier immediately walked up to them and politely said: "May I ask where you all are from? What business brings you to Liyue? Please accompany us to register your information."
Normally, they would not question foreign tourists, merchants, adventurers, or the like coming to Liyue.
But with people descending from this strange and peculiar iron lump, and judging by their attire, the Millelith were momentarily bewildered.
After thinking it over, they decided to come forward and inquire about the situation.
After all, they were very curious about the identities of March 7th and the others, and what exactly was the thing they rode in?
Liyue was, after all, the most prosperous city in Teyvat; many things could be seen and bought here. There was no reason they hadn't seen such things before.
Generally, only Vision holders arriving in Liyue were required to register simple information.
If they had any specific purpose, they only needed to approach the Liyue Liyue Qixing.
If there was any need for assistance, provided Liyue could handle it, they would offer help to Vision holders within their capabilities.
After all, Vision holders were different from ordinary people; once inside Liyue Harbor, causing destruction would be extremely easy and simple.
They would register foreign Vision holders and then report the information to Lady Hearing Hearing Ganyu.
Although these people lacked Visions and appeared to be ordinary individuals, the vehicle they rode in was highly unusual, so they still had to stop March 7th and the others to ask.
"We're from the Luo Fu,"
Hearing the Millelith's inquiry, March 7th smiled and said: "We're here in Liyue for tourism, and incidentally to pick up two people."
In response to the Millelith's inquiry, she directly stated their purpose.
Simple, crisp, clear, and direct.
"Luo Fu?"
"Picking someone up?"
Hearing March 7th's words, the Millelith soldier looked at her with a face full of confusion.
What place was Luo Fu? How had he never heard of it?
Instinctively, this Millelith soldier glanced at the Millelith companion beside him.
He wanted to see if this companion had ever heard the two words "Luo Fu."
"Never heard of it."
Seeing his companion looking over, this Millelith soldier shook his head; he hadn't heard of it either.
Then he hesitated and asked, "May I ask where Luo Fu is? Is it Fontaine? Or Natlan?"
"Luo Fu is just Luo Fu."
March 7th scratched her head. "Hmm, how should I put this? We aren't from this world. Luo Fu isn't a place name in your world; we come from another world."
The Fontaine and Natlan mentioned by these two Millelith soldiers were the names of nations on this Teyvat.
She had heard about them from Lin Mo before coming here.
Fontaine was the nation of the God of Justice, and Natlan was the nation of the Pyro Archon.
The Millelith had mistaken them for visitors from other nations.
"Travelers from another world."
Hearing March 7th's words, the pupils of the two Millelith soldiers contracted sharply.
They were actually guests from another world.
Did that not mean this chunk of iron also came from the so-called other world?
At first, they were unclear about the situation, but previously, a guest from another world had also come to Liyue.
That was a blonde girl, an adventurer, accompanied by a white, flying emergency food.
She had specifically sought Liyue's help to find her brother.
From that time, they also learned the origins of that blonde girl: she was a traveler from another world.
Moreover, she had made great contributions to Liyue, once turning the tide to save the nation, helping Liyue immensely, and thus becoming an honored guest in Liyue.
She was welcomed by the adults of the Liyue Liyue Qixing and maintained excellent relations with them.
She even had very good relationships with the Adepti of Liyue.
Now hearing that there were several more guests from another world, they did not hesitate for a moment and immediately took the matter seriously.
Could it be that these travelers from another world were friends of that one traveler?
Thinking of this, the Millelith soldier immediately spoke politely, "Please wait a moment; we will immediately notify the adults of the Liyue Liyue Qixing to come and receive you travelers."
