Chapter 125 Thinking about Settling Down
Chapter 125 Thinking about Settling Down
Paimon: "Wait, we've strayed off topic. Diluk, why are you here too?"
Diluk: "Didn't I tell you? We followed the trail of the Abyss Mage."
Sora: "Did you start the investigation from Donna's attack?"
Diluk: "It seems you are the same as me."
Lisa: "That's not the point. The point is that the books borrowed from the library must be returned. Have you seen the book?"
Diluk shook his head. "No, I actually just got here. Looks like I'll be interrogating you."
……
Under the burning of Diluk's flames, an Abyss Mage was awakened from his coma by the pain.
“Ah! It hurts! Stop! Stop now!”
The burning stopped, and the Abyss Mage woke up from his coma. Before he could recover, he saw Zheng Tian put an alarm clock in front of him and said, "Where is the thing hidden? Tell me. If you can't tell me before the alarm rings, I will continue to torture you."
Diluk cooperated very well and condensed flames in his hands again, silently threatening.
The Abyss Mage was still in shock: "Ha~ha~ humph, even if I die, I will not reveal any information."
Zheng Tian: "Wow! You still dare to be stubborn. But I said, torture, not killing you."
Abyss Mage: "No matter how much you torture me, it's useless. How can the mere pain of the flesh destroy my will?"
Zheng Tian clapped his hands and said, "Well said, I will chop off your limbs and feed them to you. Finally, I will lock your life and hang you at the gate of Mondstadt, so that you can clearly hear that you are a disgrace to the cult.
I wonder how long you can keep being stubborn."
The Abyss Mage was furious: "You! You! Treating prisoners like this and trampling on human dignity, is this the spirit of chivalry?"
Zheng Tian: "But you are not human."
Abyss Mage: "You!"
Zheng Tian: "You are a beast with wisdom and force."
A ticking sound came into my ears, and the pointer turned, counting down for the Abyss Mage.
The Abyss Mage was scared: "You are inhumane. You shouldn't abuse the prisoners. You can't..."
Ring ring ring…
Alert rings.
Zheng Tian kept smiling, summoned two black shadow ninjas and ordered: "Draw your swords, prepare to chop his limbs into meat paste."
The shadow ninja drew out his samurai sword, and the clean blade reflected the terrified look of the Abyss Mage.
Paimon hid behind Sora in fear, covering his ears.
From now on, Zheng Tian ranks first on the list of "People that Paimon should never mess with."
Seeing the shadow ninja approaching, the Abyss Mage became afraid.
He sat on the ground and moved backwards quickly using his hands and feet, shouting, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! Make them stop. I'll tell you everything! Don't come over here!!!"
Zheng Tian: “Stop.”
Trembling, the Abyss Mage revealed the whereabouts of the book and took out a letter, which was a declaration of war against the Night Heroes. Another Abyss Mage came for the letter, and now his plan was strangled in the cradle.
But regarding the secrets in the book, the two Abyss Mages would rather die than reveal them, no matter how Diluk used fire to roast them.
Lisa didn't do anything. She had no interest in the secrets in the book, or rather, she didn't dare to be interested.
Diluk put away the letter and said, "I'll leave them and the book to you. I'm leaving now. Also, please keep my identity a secret."
Zheng Tian: "Oh? You are not interested in books?"
Diluk: "Personally, I think it's better to leave the book issue to Miss Lisa."
Diluk left.
Lisa looked at the book carefully: "Apart from the marks I made, there are no abnormal elemental fluctuations."
Paimon: "Yeah. It feels like just an ordinary fairy tale book."
Zheng Tian: "Maybe they want to hear a bedtime story too? Are they just too embarrassed to tell it?"
The two captives being watched by the ninja soldiers nearby: "..."
Are we so thin-skinned?
Lisa: “From a librarian’s perspective, the hard work is done.
Since I'm so interested in this book, why don't I lend it to you?"
As she spoke, Lisa handed "The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs" to Sora.
Sora took the book and said, "Then... the deadline for returning the book is..."
Lisa: “The term is indefinite. I will register you as a “custodian” instead of a “lender.”
This is a special benefit for good and trustworthy citizens.”
Paimon: "You say it's a benefit... but why do I feel like I'm just passing the trouble on to someone else?"
Lisa: "Oh, by the way, there is also this."
Lisa took out a small notebook and handed it to Zheng Tian: "This is what the Knights agreed on in advance. I sorted it out recently.
But Qin also used it to write down some things, I'm really envious."
Zheng Tian took the small notebook and said, "Is this the collection Qin mentioned? Thank you."
But who do you envy?
Lisa: "You're welcome. From the perspective of the Mond people and from my personal perspective, I should be the one thanking you."
Knights Headquarters.
With Zheng Tian's supersonic blessing, several people quickly arrived here.
The Abyss Mage was taken to jail, and then Lisa took Zheng Tian and the other two to the library.
Lisa: "Okay, the book's safekeeping procedures have been completed."
Paimon: "Thank you, Ms. Lisa. Um...but I feel like I forgot something..."
Sora: "It's the Teyvat Travel Guide!"
Paimon: "Ah! Isn't that the Teyvat Tourist Guide on that shelf?
And there seem to be so many of them!"
Lisa: "Hehehe... Actually, the Teyvat Tourist Guide is a journal, and it's not considered an official collection..."
Paimon: "Hmm...Hmm?!"
So I traveled so much today for nothing?!
Lisa: "Take one. It's your reward for being my assistant today. With you accompanying me today, the troublesome work has become a little less boring.
By the way, Zheng Tian, I have something else I want to talk to you about alone. "
Zheng Tian: "Okay."
……
Restricted Books Area.
Lisa took the cup of life from the black shadow ninja, and then handed it to Zheng Tian: "Here, your cup of life."
Zheng Tian took the cup: "What are the research results?"
Lisa said seriously, "How should I put it? This cup is amazing. I have used various instruments and methods for a while, but I can't figure out anything. At least with my knowledge and means, it seems that I am not enough to understand the mystery.
However, after testing, the effect is very good, unreasonably good. No matter what species it is, it will work after taking it, and it will extend life by 50 years.
And judging by the results, those whose physical condition has passed its peak will automatically adjust and maintain their peak state without aging. If they are minors, the effect will take effect after they have fully grown.
Where did you get this artifact? Or did you make it?"
Zheng Tian: "I didn't make it, but got it by accident. And I can't figure out the mystery of this cup now.
Have you used it yourself?"
"I have used it. Thank you very much."
Lisa smiled again, but this smile was very gentle: "My life has new vitality."
Zheng Tian put away the cup: "You're welcome. If you need anything, feel free to come to me. I like making friends and hate loneliness, so I don't want anything to happen to my friends."
Hearing Zheng Tian say this, Lisa's heart moved.
She suddenly remembered that Zheng Tian said he was fleeing. There was some news about Kaeya's test. Diluk said Zheng Tian claimed that he was targeted, but the situation was special at the time, and coupled with Zheng Tian's series of behaviors, no one took it seriously, and subconsciously treated Zheng Tian as a traveler.
“I have been alone for a long time and have been excluded for a long time, so I long for and cherish friends and kindness?”
Lisa felt a little uncomfortable and thought a lot.
“Wait, he is not soft on his enemies, and he is willing to cooperate with Mond in medical treatment, which must be due to his kindness.
According to what Diluk said at the beginning, it was probably because he was ostracized by the public that he went his own way and even became enemies of the whole world.
But it's not easy to have that kind of power and still be kind after going through that."
In Lisa's mind, Zheng Tian's image gradually changed from "a kind, willful and powerful traveler" to "a person who is targeted and excluded by people but still does not give up kindness and uses his strength well."
Zheng Tian didn’t know what Lisa was thinking, but he felt that the way Lisa looked at him was more gentle and... caring?
He is indeed somewhat sensitive to kindness and malice.
Zheng Tian: "What's wrong with you?"
Lisa: "Nothing. By the way, you are about to leave for Liyue, right?"
Zheng Tian nodded: "Yes."
The date of the Immortal Summoning Ceremony is getting closer, and Kong feels that there may be clues along the way, so he has to set off early.
Lisa: “I see, you are just like Sora, your journey continues.
So what are your plans after the trip? Like where to settle down?"
Zheng Tian thought for a moment, then replied: "To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet. Because I don't know where I will go next, and when I will really stop and rest.
I am still finding my way.”
Lisa: "Is that so? Okay then, but remember to come back often to see me, your sister. Don't be so fascinated by the flowers outside that you forget about me."
Zheng Tian: “…”
Walking out of the Knights' headquarters, Zheng Tian slowly returned while thinking.
Judging from the current situation, the Adventure World is a big pit. Even if I return after my strength increases, I am afraid that I will face a counterattack from the righteous. When my strength is strong enough to suppress the world, I may consider it. The others...
In the world of super beasts, super powers are too idealistic, and either they are boring or they end up in a mess when they fight.
Marvel, it’s too dangerous. You might be beaten to death by a big guy who suddenly appears while walking on the street.
The world of Naruto is full of crazy people. Even if the Otsutsuki is dealt with, the Ninja War may break out again, which is terrible. Plus, there are not many entertainment options. Overall, it is not as good as the Super Beasts.
Teyvat, the current situation is still good, there are some good friends, and it is not boring. Sora will have to travel for a few more years before reaching the winter. In a few years, who knows what Teyvat will be like, and what will be Sora's future.
The Ultraman world might be a good place for him, the Holy Lord, to settle down. It wouldn't be boring there, and there were Ultramen to deal with all kinds of big troubles. There were even a few military ceilings to stabilize the situation. If he could explain clearly that he was not a bad person, he might be able to settle down in the Land of Light.
But there are risks, especially after the new generation has come on stage...
“As expected, we still have to remind the Kingdom of Light to strengthen security, especially at Hikari’s place.
By the way, in the Ultra Universe, can I find a chance to erase the seal of the talisman in one fell swoop, or even increase my power to the peak that the Holy Lord once had, or even surpass it?"
