Chapter 6
The two of them were very happy.
"Hello, I'm..."
Jingliu was interrupted by Alechino before he finished speaking.
"I know you, Jingliu, the one brought by the Queen," Alechino said with a smile.
"Let me think about it, what big thing happened on the day you were brought by the Queen."
"I'm afraid it was only that day, when the power suddenly emerged in the snowfield."
"You, Jingliu, are the holder of that power," Alechino said affirmatively, staring at Jingliu with scarlet eyes.
"Alechino, watch your words," Columbia scolded Jingliu before he could answer.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually solidified.
"It's okay, Columbia," said Jingliu.
Then he said:
"Yes, that power was emitted by me. So, what do you want to do now? Do you want to attack me?"
"No, I'm just curious about you, and I don't have any ill intentions. And I don't think I'm an opponent who needs the Queen to bring people in person."
"The conversation time is over, let me take you to visit the Hearth House next," Alechino avoided the topic and said to Jingliu.
"Well, let's go," Jingliu said with a breath.
Jingliu is not afraid of Alechino, even if he is the fourth seat, Jingliu has absolute confidence in himself, or perhaps in the power of "Jingliu".
Jingliu is now temporarily settled in Zhidong, so it is better not to have too much conflict with the top leaders of Zhidong. What surprised Jingliu was that Columbia would speak for him, and chose strangers between colleagues and strangers.
…
“The Hearth House adopts homeless orphans from Teyvat, gives them surnames, and provides them with a warm and secure “home”. So, for them, the Hearth House is all of their childhood,” said Alecino, looking at the children playing. Then he was silent for a while and continued:
“Of course, this warmth is not without cost. When they grow up, if there is no other special reason, they need to join the eleven executive officers of the Fatui and serve the Fatui and the Queen.”
“Among them, those who sacrifice their lives are never a minority. After all, the Fatui are not a righteous organization.” Alecino said coldly.
“Also, the “Cathedral of Saint Mary” comes to the Hearth House every year to select a few people to practice in the church. Although entering the church is equivalent to joining the Fatui, it may not be as life-threatening as joining the Fatui directly," Columbia interrupted.
Jingliu looked at the children who were still laughing and talking, and was a little silent. But Jingliu did not deny the Fatui's approach, giving children a happy childhood and joining the Fatui after they grow up. This approach is more like finding jobs for adult children.
"In fact, as long as you don't join the "Doctor"'s team, the basic conditions can still be guaranteed," Columbia said, and then explained:
"The "Doctor" is the second seat of the eleven executive officers of the Fatui. Like his code name, he is a "researcher", and he is still a more extreme one, so he will do some... well, experiments that are clearly prohibited. "
"Jingliu, I think the "Doctor" will be very interested in seeing you. I know you are very strong and you are not afraid of the "Doctor", but please do not agree to any request from the "Doctor", Columbia said to Jingliu with some concern.
"Well, Columbia, don't worry. If he dares to have any ideas about me, I will beat him every time I see him in the future." Jingliu said.
Jingliu's favorability towards "Doctor" can be said to be the lowest among the executives, and even in the entire "Genshin". When I went through the Xumi plot in my previous life, I wanted to punch him through the computer screen.
"Father, father" At this time, the children saw Arlechino and ran over at once.
"Well" Arlechino responded.
"This is the "Girl", this is Jingliu." Arlechino continued.
"Ms. "Ms. "Girl", Mr. Jingliu, hello! ”
“You don’t have to call me “sister”, just call me sister” Jingliu said to the children.
“Sister Jingliu, Sister Jingliu”
“Okay, “Girl” and Sister Jingliu will be busy soon, so don’t disturb them” Alechino said coldly.
Hearing Alechino’s words, the children said “oh” and walked away.
“Let’s go” Alechino said, and continued to take the two of them on a tour.
……
It was getting dark
.
"How do you feel?" Alechino asked Jingliu.
"Ah"
"After walking for a day, how do you feel about the Hearth House?" Alechino repeated.
"Well..." Jingliu thought for a while, then said: "It seems that the children really like this place. Some of the smarter children know that they will join the Fatui when they grow up. Even so, they still live here optimistically and cheerfully without any complaints."
"The Hearth House is a ray of hope for them."
"Well, it's true. Well, it's getting late, I'll take you there," Alechino said.
...
Columbia's home
"It's getting late, let's wash up and go to bed," said Columbia.
"Yeah"
After washing up, Jing Liu lay on the bed, looked at Columbia beside him and asked:
"Columbia, we have only known each other for two days, why are you so nice to me, even when you gave it to Mora directly, and scolded the "servant" in the morning, if giving it to Mora was the Queen's order, but when the "servant" oppressed me and asked me questions, I couldn't think of the reason why you helped me, Columbia"
"You are the executive officers of the Fatui, why would you choose to help me, a stranger who has only known me for two days"
Columbia heard this, turned around and hugged Jingliu said:
"I remember I said before that I can see through a person's soul through appearance"
"And Jingliu, your soul is pure and flawless, I like it very much, so I can't help but want to get close to you, want to get your love, and want to not be hated by you, so I will help you" Columbia said softly.
Feeling the touch on his waist, Jingliu's body stiffened. Smelling the fragrance of Columbia's body, his face flushed, and his speech became a little unsmooth.
"Is that... just this reason?"
"Well, no other reason is needed" Columbia replied.
"Jingliu" Columbia said.
"Well"
"Can we be friends? "
When Columbia said this, the hand on Jingliu's waist could not help but use a little force. It can be seen that Columbia was a little nervous at this time.
"Hey" Jingliu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled and said:
"Of course, and we have been friends for a long time"
Columbia heard it, and excitedly leaned over and hugged Jingliu.
"Well, we will be friends forever" Columbia said happily.
"Well, forever friends"
Jingliu looked over and saw that Columbia had fallen asleep, and then he also fell asleep.
...
When Jingliu opened his eyes again, he looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
The familiar sky, the dilapidated road surface, the ice sculptures of the Cloud Cavalry standing around, and the demon Yin body "Jingliu" walking slowly towards him in front.
"Oh my god"
