As she was speaking, Lumine scratched her head, feeling the elemental power permeating the air around her, and looked around curiously.

"A battle must have happened here."

Paimon looked at some charred ground in front and also scratched her head: "But it looks like it was left recently, which means a battle happened here not long ago. Look at the ground over there, it's the trace of being struck by lightning. How terrifying."

"We seem to have stumbled into a dangerous place."

Lumine hesitated: "Let's leave here first."

"Mm-hmm."

Hearing Lumine's words, Paimon nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Then the two walked towards the outside, but as they walked, they saw the Golden House building.

"Wow, what a luxurious building."

Seeing the building at the entrance of the Golden House, Lumine was surprised: "It looks so exquisite."

"Hey? Who are you?"

Just when Lumine was surprised, a patrolling Millelith suddenly came here. Seeing Lumine and the others, his face turned solemn and he surrounded them, saying in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you at the Golden House? This place has been blocked. It is forbidden for anyone to come. Don't you know?"

Ever since a fierce battle happened here at the Golden House, the number of Millelith soldiers added here had increased.

"Don't, don't misunderstand, we just arrived in Liyue."

Seeing one Millelith soldier after another surrounding them, fully armed, Paimon hurriedly waved her hands: "We have no malice, we just took a shortcut and came here."

"Is that so?"

Hearing Paimon's words, the Millelith soldier looked at Paimon and Lumine suspiciously.

Although this little thing looked quite unique and could fly, the Millelith soldier still felt it was abnormal.

Let's catch them first.

"Quick, Lumine, take out your identity as the Honorary Knight of Mondstadt."

Beside her, Paimon, who noticed the atmosphere was wrong, said to Lumine hurriedly: "And the proof from the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild."

"This is my proof from the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild, which can prove my identity."

Hearing Paimon's words, Lumine didn't think, and without any hesitation, took out the proof from the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild and the Honorary Knight certification of the Knights of Favonius from her body.

"Oh?"

Hearing Lumine's words, the Millelith soldier who was about to order people to catch Lumine and Paimon was stunned.

Immediately, he took it and looked at it.

Seeing the stamp of the Adventurers' Guild on the proof, as well as the registered information and task completion degree on it, he nodded immediately and said: "So it's an adventurer from Mondstadt. You leave here. This is not a place you can come to."

"The direction over there is to walk into Liyue City. Don't come this way again."

While speaking, this Millelith soldier returned this identity proof to Lumine.

"Okay, okay."

Hearing the Millelith soldier's words, Paimon nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Then she took Lumine and left here in a hurry.

Seeing this, the Millelith soldier resumed patrolling.

"Fortunately, you reacted quickly, otherwise, we would have been caught just now."

While leaving here, Paimon complained to Lumine: "It would be troublesome if we were caught. We might miss this year's Rite of Descension. If you want to find the Geo Archon, there is only one such opportunity a year. Thanks to Venti's reminder, otherwise we would definitely miss today's Qixing Rite of Descension."

"If we were caught, it would be completely over. Even if we miss a day, we miss it."

"Can the proof of the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild also be used in Liyue?"

Hearing Paimon's words, Lumine scratched her head, confused: "Why are there so many Millelith soldiers patrolling here? We walked into the Liyue area, and all the way here, even in some ruins or markets, there were not so many Millelith soldiers patrolling."

Since leaving Mondstadt and coming to Liyue.

Crossing mountains, walking on flat ground, passing ruins, she hadn't seen so many Millelith soldiers.

And the Millelith soldiers here were so serious, not at all as enthusiastic as the Millelith soldiers in other places.

"Of course it can be used. The Adventurers' Guild exists in every nation. If it couldn't be used, it would be too troublesome for adventurers."

"You can't just register as an adventurer as soon as you arrive in a place."

Hearing Lumine's words, Paimon shook her head: "As for why there are so many Millelith soldiers here, it must be to guard that Golden House. That Golden House is an important place in Liyue. I didn't expect us to pass by here. No wonder the Millelith soldiers here are so serious."

"What is the Golden House?"

Hearing Paimon's words, Lumine said confusedly: "Although I see that building is luxurious, it is not made of gold."

Golden House, it sounds not simple, but it is not made of gold.

"Speaking of gold, do you know? The Mora we use is named after the god Rex Lapis."

Hearing Lumine's words, Paimon said with a peculiar expression: "But if we foreigners call the Geo Archon like this in Liyue, we will be downgraded to rude foreigners. So in Liyue, it is better to use the name Rex Lapis."

"As for the Golden House in Liyue, that is the only mint in Liyue, and also the only mint in all of Teyvat. The Mora circulating in the seven nations of humanity are all minted there."

"No wonder it is heavily guarded here. It turns out we came to the Golden House unknowingly."

"The place where Mora is made."

Hearing Paimon's words, she widened her eyes: "There must be countless Mora inside."

She actually came to the Golden House.

"Of course."

Paimon nodded: "Otherwise it wouldn't be called the Golden House. I was just saying why the Millelith soldiers there were so serious. It turns out it's because of this location."

"Then the question is, as the most important mint in Liyue, why did a battle happen here?"

Lumine suddenly thought of something and said with a peculiar expression: "No one broke in here, wanting to do something to the Golden House, right?"

Before, they passed that place, but there were very serious battle traces.

"Impossible, no one has the guts to break into this Golden House."

Paimon shook her head: "The Golden House is protected by the divine power of Rex Lapis, and Liyue must have set up heavy arrays. The Millelith soldiers we saw are just a handful. Who do you think has the guts to break in here?"

"However, it is said that the Golden House in Liyue hasn't minted new Mora for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is."

Saying that, Paimon scratched her head: "The manufacture of Mora requires the help of Rex Lapis, and Rex Lapis appears every year, so how could he not mint Mora."

"Can't figure it out."

"Let's go to Liyue first."

"Don't forget, when we arrive in Liyue, we have to settle the accommodation first."

"Mm-hmm." ===== CHAPTER 313 =====
