"The Great [Prinzessin of Condemnation] descends like a vortex of destiny."
"Kael, canst thou sense our arrival?"
Fischl looked around excitedly.
Barbara let out a long sigh of relief, patting her chest gently. "Finally arrived... I didn't expect the feeling of teleportation to be so wonderful!"
"This is indeed not the environment of Mondstadt."
"So beautiful. It should be Liyue."
"Has Kael already arrived in Liyue?"
Barbara looked around, confirming this wasn't Mondstadt territory, an excited smile appearing on her face. "Then... Kael should be nearby, right?"
However, just as the two girls were rejoicing, the surrounding Millelith had already surrounded them nervously.
"Who are you?!"
"What was that just now?!"
"How did you suddenly appear here?!"
Several Millelith looked vigilant.
Spears slightly raised, they looked solemnly at these two mysterious girls who suddenly appeared in Liyue territory.
You have to know, this was an important defense zone in Liyue territory.
Travelers who didn't enter through formal channels needed to undergo strict interrogation.
But these two... actually appeared out of thin air on the stone bridge?!
Fischl raised her chin nonchalantly, assuming a noble posture, waving her finger gently. "Hmph, mere guards, no need to panic! I am the [Prinzessin der Verurteilung] who crossed dimensions!"
"The thread of fate has long guided us here. Thou need not panic. We bear no malice!"
Listening to Fischl's chuunibyou speech, Barbara revealed an awkward but polite smile, explaining hurriedly: "Uh... um, don't misunderstand! We are from Mondstadt. We have no malice!"
"From Mondstadt?"
The Millelith looked at each other, not fully recovered from the shock.
Since when did travelers from Mondstadt have means to appear out of thin air?
While the Millelith were confused.
The surrounding travelers and caravans were also stunned.
Because on this road leading to Liyue Harbor, the flow of people was not small.
Even at night.
Some Liyue merchants, Mondstadt adventurers, and travelers from various places hurrying on their way witnessed this weird scene with their own eyes.
The originally orderly atmosphere was instantly broken by this sudden "arrival out of thin air."
"Wh... What's the situation?"
A Mondstadt adventurer walking on the bridge froze in place, staring dumbfounded at the two girls in the center of the bridge.
The two girls didn't have the aura of monsters, nor did they look like ordinary travelers who arrived by walking.
How did they appear out of thin air?!
"They appeared out of thin air just now, right?"
Another adventurer in green light armor looked suspicious and asked in a low voice, "Did I see it wrong?"
"Of course! Didn't you see that light? Doesn't look like mortal means at all..."
"This method... why does it look so much like monsters?!"
A Liyue merchant turned pale, a trace of unease in his expression.
Then swallowed, whispering, "We encountered the Abyss Order before. Those evil guys can also appear out of thin air! Could it be..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
Hearing this, several people around shook, looking at Barbara and Fischl with solemn faces.
Indeed.
Such spatial jump methods were not common in Liyue territory.
Usually only some powerful monsters, Abyss Mages...
Or even legendary Adepti could do it.
Are these two girls really just ordinary people?
"No way... They don't look like bad people."
Someone spoke hesitantly.
A scholarly adventurer wearing round-frame glasses pushed his glasses, frowning and examining the two carefully. "Look at that girl... She seems to be wearing the nun outfit of the Church. If I remember correctly, it's likely the Church of Favonius in Mondstadt."
"Wait...!"
A surprised voice rang out.
A sharp-eyed Liyue caravan guard suddenly pointed to the two, surprised. "Look, they have Visions!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the surrounding discussion paused for an instant.
People's gazes quickly fell on Barbara and Fischl's waists.
Sure enough.
Between the clothes of the two girls, faintly shimmering Visions could be seen—
A blue gem symbolizing Hydro, hanging on Barbara's waist, emitting a faint holy glow.
The other was a purple crystal symbolizing Electro, inlaid on Fischl's accessories, carrying a slight thunder aura.
In the crowd, some people who were originally vigilant were instantly attracted by these two Visions, their expressions gradually becoming complicated.
"They are... Vision holders?"
"And an Electro Vision."
"How could people with Visions be from the Abyss Order?"
"That's true. Those guys from the Abyss Order use evil magic. They don't have Visions..."
"Then what is going on with these two?"
Everyone looked at each other.
The eyes of caravan guards, travelers, and adventurers were full of doubts.
Some remained vigilant, while others began to relax gradually.
"Speaking of which..."
A Liyue merchant standing in the back frowned, whispering suspiciously, "When did people from Mondstadt learn such teleportation methods?"
This sentence ignited the doubts of the scene again.
That's right.
Even if Barbara had a Vision, such a spatial jump was not an ability Mondstadters could master.
Even the Church of Favonius had never shown such means!
You have to know, appearing out of thin air like this in Liyue, probably only legendary Adepti could do it.
Although these two girls were beautiful, they didn't look like Adepti no matter how you looked at them.
Although holding Visions made them no longer think the other party was from the Abyss Order, this mysterious teleportation ability still made them feel puzzled and amazed.
"Ahem."
The Millelith Captain standing in front finally cleared his throat, breaking everyone's discussion.
His gaze was burning, staring closely at Fischl and Barbara, saying in a low voice, "No matter how you came, this is an important passage in Liyue territory. Anyone must accept inspection."
He signaled to a Millelith beside him.
The other party nodded immediately, walking quickly to the communication post nearby, seemingly going to report this matter to higher ups.
"You two, if you really are travelers from Mondstadt, please cooperate with our investigation."
The Millelith Captain's tone was steady, but his attitude was not relaxed.
They were the guardians of Liyue.
Even if the other party held a Vision, they couldn't let them pass easily.
After all, this inexplicable phenomenon could not be taken lightly.
Fischl snorted lightly, crossed her arms, a confident smile still on her face. "Hmph, we are travelers crossing the Star Sea. Guards of Liyue, thou need not be so vigilant—"
Barbara quickly tugged Fischl's sleeve, revealing a gentle smile. "Uh... um, we are certainly willing to cooperate with the inspection!"
Then Barbara whispered to Fischl, "Cooperate first, or we'll be treated as heretics."
Fischl raised an eyebrow slightly, but finally nodded gently. "Hmph... Since the gears of fate have turned, we shall follow its guidance."
Seeing they didn't resist, the Millelith's face softened slightly.
Then waved his hand. "Good, follow us."
The surrounding crowd was still full of curiosity. Some whispered, some showed interested eyes.
Obviously, their curiosity about these two Mondstadt girls appearing out of thin air was far from satisfied.
Unfortunately, they had no way to witness it.
"You are a Deaconess of the Church of Favonius in Mondstadt?"
When the Millelith heard Barbara's words, his face was instantly astonished.
He had heard of the great name of the Mondstadt Church of Favonius.
That was an important organization in Mondstadt, mainly responsible for political, economic, and military affairs.
For a time, this Millelith was moved and took it seriously.
And beside her, Fischl also took out her Investigator Proof from the Adventurers' Guild, making the Millelith nod in approval.
This thing couldn't be faked.
Soon, after a simple understanding, the Millelith took the initiative to say, "Since you two are from Mondstadt, the safe place nearby is Wangshu Inn. Next, we will escort you to Wangshu Inn."
"If you need anything, you can tell us."
"As long as we can do it."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
Hearing this, Barbara smiled immediately. "Mainly we want to ask, have you seen Kael today? Umm, this is him."
As she spoke, Barbara carefully took out a Photo from her waist bag.
On the photo was Kael's appearance.
Seeing Barbara's action, Fischl looked over suspiciously.
Why does Barbara have a photo of Kael?
When was it taken?
Secretly taken?
Hearing Barbara's words, the Millelith looked over immediately.
seeing Kael's appearance on the photo, he paused and said, "I have really seen this person. Is he your friend? He came at noon today, passing here with the Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, a beautiful blonde girl, and an unidentified flying object."
"Then went to Wangshu Inn. Should be at Wangshu Inn now."
"Or might have left."
As soon as the Millelith said this, Fischl and Barbara showed surprised expressions!
"Sure enough! Kael is at Wangshu Inn!"
Barbara's eyes lit up, an excited smile appearing on her face.
Like a traveler who finally confirmed the target, her eyes were full of expectation.
She clenched her hands tightly, leaning forward slightly, unable to wait to go to Wangshu Inn.
Fischl flung her golden long hair, crossing her arms.
The corner of her mouth raised in a victor's smile, speaking proudly:
"Heh... My Eye of Fate has long seen through everything! Kael, indeed thou hast not escaped the trajectory of fate. Today is the time when our bonds intertwine again!"
Fischl gazed deeply into the distance, raising her right hand high, as if announcing the arrival of some great moment.
"The gears of destiny have turned, the script of fate has long been written. Liyue guards who witness all this..."
"Some day in the future, you will surely remember our names, because—this moment is the descent of the Prinzessin of Condemnation's will!"
"The bond of fate cannot be changed!"
Millelith: "..."
Several Millelith standing aside witnessed this scene, all looking strange.
They originally just conducted routine inspections according to their duties.
But now they witnessed these two exceptionally beautiful girls with different temperaments coming to find a young man.
All this was really beyond their expectations.
Especially Fischl's remarks, which made them not know how to respond for a time.
They could only look at each other awkwardly out of the corner of their eyes, but waves were set off in their hearts.
What the hell is going on?
This young man named Kael can actually make two girls with Visions come to find him personally?
And...
The Millelith recalled Kael's appearance in unison.
Young, dignified appearance, calm temperament, indeed not an ordinary person.
But what impressed them most was...
He was accompanied by a beautiful blonde girl and a talking "UFO."
What kind of life is this?!
A young man, not only accompanied by a blonde beauty...
Now there are two Vision holders coming thousands of miles to find him?!
For a time, a complex emotion rose in the hearts of several Millelith—
Who exactly is that guy?
Although they were guards of Liyue, they also knew the rarity of Visions.
Even in Liyue, Vision holders were definitely not common.
Let alone two such beautiful girls!
These two girls, one was a Deaconess of the Church of Favonius, one was a senior investigator full of adventurer atmosphere.
Logically speaking, they should be people from two completely different worlds.
But now they were coincidentally looking for the same man?
The Millelith Captain couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Glancing at Fischl and Barbara with a slightly envious gaze, sighing secretly in his heart...
—Why doesn't such a thing happen to me?
These Millelith guarded various places in Liyue all day, guarding this land conscientiously, yet didn't even have a chance to meet a beautiful girl.
On the other hand, Kael could make two Vision holders come to find him from thousands of miles away.
Life is too smooth, isn't it?!
"Sigh..."
The hearts of several Millelith were filled with subtle emotions.
Some envy, some lament, but on the surface they still maintained professional calm.
"Ahem."
The Millelith Captain coughed lightly, gathering his thoughts, looking at Fischl and Barbara, tone still businesslike: "Since you are here to find a friend, I hope you don't cause chaos in Liyue territory."
Barbara nodded repeatedly, smiling gently. "Don't worry, we won't! Just want to see Kael."
Fischl flicked her long hair lightly, looking proud. "We are envoys of light, how could we cause unrest? Rest assured, mortal."
Hearing this, the Millelith was speechless again.
Immediately, the Millelith took the two girls to the entrance passage of Wangshu Inn, going straight all the way.
Soon they saw the huge sign of Wangshu Inn.
Seeing this, Fischl and Barbara couldn't hold back their excitement, running quickly toward the direction of Wangshu Inn.
Under the night, the figures of the two girls drifted away.
And the Millelith still stood in place, unable to recover for a long time.
A good while passed before he sighed and shook his head, walking back to his post.
At this time, it was already very late.
Wangshu Inn under the night was quiet and serene. Surrounding lanterns emitted soft brilliance, reflecting on the wooden corridors and exquisitely carved eaves.
The air was filled with a faint woody scent and the humid breath of lake water. Everything seemed incomparable peaceful.
On the second floor of Wangshu Inn, Paimon stretched, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and yawned hugely.
"Mmh... It's getting late. Time to go back to the room to sleep. Lumine, what do you think?"
Paimon muttered while floating to the window, preparing to look at the night view, then go back to the room with Lumine to sleep.
However.
Just the moment she glanced downstairs casually, her eyes suddenly froze.
The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, freezing in mid-air instantly.
Immediately after, her eyes widened abruptly.
Mouth opened wide enough to stuff a Sweet Madame, face written with shock and disbelief.
"Barbara?! Fischl?!"
Her exclamation seemed exceptionally abrupt in the silent night, carrying a trace of incredible tremolo.
This voice instantly startled Lumine sitting aside.
