"Hello Miyabi!"-as soon as I entered the city, I was greeted by the cheerful Amber as always.
"Hello! Are you going on patrol again?"-I asked the girl.
"Hehe, yes! Miyabi, where have you been by the way, I haven't seen you for the last few days."-she asked
I looked away and said.
"Yeah, I was traveling!"
"Hmm… well, okay! Anyway, I have to go, see you later!"-she said and ran off.
After seeing her off with my eyes, I headed towards the guild!
"Ad astra abyssosque!"-Katheryne greeted me
"Yeah, hello!"-I answered automatically, since I already perceived her phrase as a greeting.
"Miyabi, did you ask for information about unknown ruins?"
"Yes!"
"Not far from the city of Liyue, unexplored ruins were found. The local branch of the guild forbade everyone to approach them. Therefore, I want to give you this quest to explore the ruins."
"Okay!" I answered, but inside me, anticipation was boiling.
Because in those ruins, most likely, there will be another portal to another world. I just can't believe that the goddess didn't add many such portals!
"Here, give this to the administrator of the phial there," she said, handing me a piece of paper.
I took the paper and put it in my pocket.
After saying goodbye to her, I didn't immediately set off on my way, but went into a restaurant to eat. There I met Noelle and Barbara.
"Noelle, Barbara!" I said to them, waving my hand.
I saw Noelle smile and walk towards me holding Barbara's hand.
"Are you on a date?" I asked with a grin.
"Yes!" Noelle answered firmly, which shocked me a little.
Where is that laughing maid I met?
"Noelle!" Barbara exclaimed blushing.
"What, isn't that so?" she asked Barbara.
"Yes, you don't have to tell everyone that." she objected.
We talked for a while and then went our separate ways.
I headed towards the exit of the city, where my walking soon turned into a run, with which I quickly reached Liyue.
Yes, this city was quite beautiful from the outside, it was an analogue of China in my previous world.
Approaching the entrance I was met by guards who asked me to show my documents, and I showed them the guild card, since it was the only document I had.
And thank God, these were considered an identity document.
Walking further into the city, I could not help but be amazed by the beauty inside the city.
Mondstadt was also quite beautiful, but Liyue was on a completely different level. It felt like ancient China!
I found the guild branch I was in pretty quickly, what a surprise Katheryne!
Well, it was not a surprise, I knew about it from the very beginning, since I played the game!
"Ad astra abyssosque!" - the second time that day I heard this phrase.
"Aha, here!" I said, handing her the piece of paper.
She took it and looked at it.
"Okay, I'll write this quest down for you!" she said, then gave me a map of the entire territory of Liyue, marking the place where previously unknown ruins were found.
"Thank you!" I said and paid for the map.
Over the past few weeks, I've been doing quests a lot, thus earning a lot of mora, so I could spend it without even thinking.
I decided before going to those very ruins, I'll walk around the city for a bit.
"Hey, you!" I heard a female voice behind me.
I turned around and saw a woman looking at me.
"Yes, is there anything I can do to help you?" I asked.
"Are you new here? Listen, friend, do you need a house, cheap?"
"A house? I don't think I have enough mora for that!"
"That's really cheap, agree, I'll even sell you two for the price of one!" she exclaimed
"What? Two? Wait! We're not talking about a building, are we?"
"No, I'm talking about coffins!"
Now everything fell into place, this girl was painfully familiar to me, and I kept trying to remember her, and only now did it dawn on me.
It was Hutao, the director of the Wansheng Funeral Home, at least according to the game, but this is reality, which may differ from the game.
"No thanks! "I'm not going to die!" I said, I really believed it.
Death is not an option for me, I'll most likely die when I want to, that is, I'll just get tired of life. I can't confirm this, but I just have a premonition!
"Death will overtake everyone!" she exclaimed.
"As you say." I waved her off.
She saw my attitude and pouted. Damn, she looks so cute pouting!
In the end, she left, and I headed to the harbor. Where I noticed another familiar girl on the pier.
Keqing, but...
Why did she have white hair?
Apparently feeling my gaze on her, she turned around and saw me. I didn't dare take my eyes off her. Another feature was her red eyes, as far as I remember in the game she was not red-eyed. And her outfit was a combination of black and white, which I I haven't seen you in the game either.
In the meantime, she walked towards me.
"Who are you? This is my first time seeing you in that city!" she said.
"My name is Miyabi!" I said, holding out my hand.
"Keqing." she said, shaking my hand.
"So, Miyabi, what are you doing in Liyue?"
"Well, I got a quest to explore the unknown ruins." I said.
By evening, I found a pretty decent hotel and rented a room there. And the next morning, I headed to the indicated coordinates to the ruins.
As soon as I got there, I saw quite a few ruin guards, with whom it was difficult for me to deal with, and get a couple of cores to sell.
Although I already have a decent amount of money, I would not refuse to earn more, maybe even save up for a house, and I do not mean a coffin!
As soon as I destroyed the last guard, I headed to the entrance to the ruins, where the door was locked. Having tried to push it, it did not give in. I could have used force and knocked it down, but I did not want to do this, since this is the easiest way, and the most1 direct.
Which doesn't work for me! I am anything but direct!
Near the door there were columns, columns with an anemo symbol.
I directed the attack at one of the columns and it caught fire, then I did the same with the others, but nothing happened.
So I need to find the right sequence...
It took me two minutes, but I finally found it, and when the last column caught fire, the door began to open.
I entered the ruins, which smelled very damp, well, it is understandable, they had not been there for 500 years. Walking along the corridor, I came out into a large room, where there was a portal behind the energy shield.
I approached it and touched it, I felt that if I applied force, the shield would crack, but again I did not.
Three energy beams were coming from the shield, they were located in different directions.
Having chosen one of the beams, I went to the place where the source was, which was a stone statue.
Without thinking, I destroyed the statues with one blow, and the energy beam disappeared.
Soon I did the same with two more statues, and headed towards the portal.
"Well, a new world is waiting for me!" I said, stretching out my hand to the portal.
