Velina tightly stared at Ningguang’s movements.
Accompanied by the brilliant golden light bursting forth from her Vision, several crystal-clear gems revolved around her in midair.
Then, they all sank into the bronze censer in front.
Hum!
A low humming reverberated throughout the entire Yujing Terrace.
A dazzling beam of energy instantly erupted from the bronze censer, soaring into the sky.
The clouds dyed golden transformed into a rolling vortex.
“The commotion is this big… this is far more spectacular and real than any special effects…”
Velina clicked her tongue and raised her head to look up at the sky.
Her crimson pupils reflected the scene in the sky.
Besides the power of Ningguang’s Vision, there should also be the adeptal array inscribed upon Yujing Terrace.
But speaking of power.
Velina raised an eyebrow and suddenly realized the change within her body.
She clenched her fist.
Power… I can feel increasingly powerful power!
Elemental power was a force unique to the world of Teyvat.
Mortals could command it after obtaining a Vision.
Of course, there were definitely exceptions.
For example, Velina.
To her, if this power was not used, it would quietly remain inside her body with basically no sensation.
But now, the power that had originally been like a small puddle had suddenly become a large puddle, and it was still strengthening drop by drop.
This discovery made Velina both pleasantly surprised and puzzled.
She did not know what exactly had caused her elemental power to increase.
The change had appeared not long ago.
The only thing different from usual today was…
The novel’s release?!
Velina’s thoughts suddenly became clear.
As a novel author, similar plots appeared in quite a few books.
So, was it the power of faith?
Or some other unknown factor?
I… can become stronger just by writing novels?
Velina felt as if she had discovered her golden finger that she carried with her.
Thinking this way, deciding to write novels was indeed a correct choice.
Suddenly, a faint commotion appeared in the crowd, pulling Velina back to her senses.
Only then did she notice that a change had appeared in the sky.
The vortex-like clouds had somehow become dark and heavy.
There were even terrifying thunderclaps exploding.
“This… is the usual Rite of Descension like this?”
“I have a rather bad feeling.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!
With Rex Lapis here, what situation could arise?
Besides, there are still the Liyue Qixing…”
The crowd discussed among themselves.
Someone let out a cry of surprise.
“Quick, look at the sky!”
Velina raised her head and looked.
She saw a black shadow tear through the clouds.
Accompanied by a burst of smoke and dust and a heavy impact, the crimson giant dragon fell, completely devoid of life.
After a brief daze, the crowd erupted into even greater uproar.
“Rex Lapis?” Xiangling’s eyes widened.
“What happened?!”
“Is this also a normal part of the Rite of Descension?” Velina felt she should act a little.
Hu Tao, however, wore a thoughtful expression.
“It looks like an unexpected situation has occurred.”
After inspecting the scene, Ningguang stood up.
Her expression appeared especially serious.
“The Archon has been killed.
Seal the entire venue!”
In an instant, the Millelith originally responsible for protecting the Rite of Descension site had completely surrounded the entire Yujing Terrace.
“Rex Lapis was killed?
Who could lay hands on a god?” Xiangling frowned.
She could not figure it out.
“I don’t know.
Maybe the culprit is among us.” Hu Tao spread her hands, then sighed.
“Ai, fortunately the Liyue Qixing are here and can still take charge of the overall situation.
Otherwise who knows what chaos would arise.”
Then she turned her head and discovered that the Velina beside her was somehow acting a bit strange.
It was as if she was… watching a show?
Yes, watching a show.
“Velina, who do you think the culprit is?” Hu Tao could not help but poke her arm and ask.
Ah?
How am I supposed to answer this?
Morax, one of the Seven Archons, also known as the God of War.
In the entirety of Teyvat, there were not many who could defeat him.
Actually, the culprit was himself?
“At this time, should one say a line like ‘The Archon is dead, the Qixing shall rise’?”
Velina scratched her head and tentatively spoke in a voice only the three of them could hear.
“Ah?” Xiangling froze.
Hu Tao’s eyes, however, lit up.
At this moment, a commotion not far away attracted the attention of the three.
“Is that Lumine?
Why is she fighting with the Millelith?”
Xiangling furrowed her brows, then wanted to go over and help.
But she was grabbed by Hu Tao.
“Don’t be in a hurry yet.
Those Millelith should not be her opponents.” Hu Tao shook her head.
The facts were indeed as she said.
With just a few simple exchanges, Lumine knocked down the surrounding Millelith and escaped from the encirclement.
Seeing this, Xiangling also let out a breath of relief.
Then she spoke of the things she had learned after becoming friends with Lumine.
“So that’s how it is.
Treating the Seven Archons as possible enemies… then this reaction is not strange.” Hu Tao understood.
Because Hu Tao and Xiangling were both considered celebrities of Liyue Harbor, Velina, who was together with the two of them, was only simply asked a few questions by the Millelith. This story is hosted at g.com.
At the same time.
Lumine, who had just escaped from Yujing Terrace, was targeted by even more Millelith.
Just as she was standing ready and thinking of a way to escape, several water arrows suddenly shot over.
“Miss, careful, don’t move.”
Bang bang bang!
The Millelith who were hit immediately collapsed to the ground and could not get up.
A figure suddenly appeared from behind, charged into the crowd, and with a few flashes completely knocked down the remaining Millelith as well.
Only then did Lumine see clearly that it was a young man with short brown hair, wearing a Hydro Vision at his waist.
“Come with me.”
The young man waved his hand, signaling Lumine to follow him and leave.
Lumine furrowed her brows, exchanged a glance with Paimon in the air, and decided to listen to the young man for now and first shake off the Millelith who had caught up again.
Tartaglia looked back.
When he confirmed that Lumine had followed him, the figure he glimpsed in the distance out of the corner of his eye made him suddenly freeze.
“Master…?”
“What are you saying?”
Lumine asked in confusion.
“Ah, nothing.
I mistook someone.”
Tartaglia shook his head.
At this moment he finally saw the young girl’s appearance clearly.
She was indeed extremely similar to his teacher, but her temperament was worlds apart.
Perhaps he should find a time to investigate.
Thinking this, he waved his hand.
“Let’s go, this way.
The Millelith shouldn’t be able to find this place.”
After leaving Yujing Terrace, Velina took the opportunity to visit Qiqi at Bubu Pharmacy and gifted her a copy of the novel she had written.
“Qiqi will read it carefully.”
Qiqi hugged the novel and said with extra seriousness.
“Mm?
Qiqi, is this the new friend you mentioned?”
An elegant voice came from within Bubu Pharmacy.
A man with green hair and glasses walked out.
Velina’s gaze could not help but be drawn to the white snake coiled around the man’s neck.
The man looked Velina up and down once and revealed a smile.
“It seems Miss Velina’s body has completely recovered.
Congratulations.”
Velina exchanged a few simple pleasantries.
She discovered that Hu Tao seemed not to get along well with the other party, so she bid farewell to Qiqi.
“Changsheng, you usually love to talk the most.
Why didn’t you make a single sound just now?”
Baizhu looked at the departing figures of the two and smiled as he spoke to the white snake on his neck.
Changsheng flicked her tongue.
Confusion showed in her eyes.
“I don’t know.
She gives me a very special feeling… that makes me a bit… afraid.”
