The two figures, one large and one small, were Miyashiro and Nahida. They had just concluded a more detailed discussion on the cooperation between Sumeru and Inazuma, and before they knew it, it was already evening.
Nilou and her group's celebration banquet at the Grand Bazaar naturally couldn't be hidden from Nahida, the Dendro Archon of Sumeru. Nahida felt that she should appear at this celebration banquet to express her gratitude to everyone. However, she also felt that as a God, if she appeared at the banquet, it would make everyone feel constrained and ruin the lively atmosphere of the party.
Miyashiro seemed to have seen Nahida's worries, so he can be said to have taken Nahida's small hand and led her to the Grand Bazaar, which led to the scene just now.
Nahida looked at the originally lively atmosphere in the Grand Bazaar, which suddenly fell silent due to her arrival, and felt very embarrassed.
But what she didn't expect was that the surprise of the Grand Bazaar's residents only lasted for a moment, and soon even more enthusiastic cheers erupted.
Before the pollution of Irminsul was cleared, the people in the Grand Bazaar were loyal followers of Lesser Lord Kusanali, not Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. After Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was erased from Irminsul, the Sumeru people's devotion to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was entirely transferred to Lesser Lord Kusanali.
However, this does not mean that the people of the Grand Bazaar's faith in Lesser Lord Kusanali has not changed. It can be said that the Grand Bazaar is now the place where Nahida, the Dendro Archon of Sumeru, can feel the most concentrated power of faith.
Everyone immediately rushed forward, vying to express their high respect to Lesser Lord Kusanali. After all, many of them, although they believed in Lesser Lord Kusanali, were seeing her in person for the first time. Why wouldn't they seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
If they could shake hands with Lesser Lord Kusanali, or have Lesser Lord Kusanali sign something for them, that would definitely become a family heirloom.
Instead, Miyashiro, the outsider, was forcibly pushed out, which made Miyashiro feel a bit helpless. This scene was no less than the fans chasing stars in his previous life.
So, Miyashiro smiled and shook his head, then walked onto the stage of Zubayr Theater by himself.
Upon Miyashiro's arrival, the people on stage showed different reactions. Paimon, Lumine, and Nilou showed happiness. Candace, Dehya, and Deena Dazed were more curious. Alhaitham, Cyno, and Tighnari showed solemn expressions. As for Collei and Kaveh, they expressed: "Who is this?"
Paimon: "Miyashiro, why are you here? And you brought Nahida."
Miyashiro: "Hmph! The Grand Bazaar is so lively, and you didn't even invite me. I'm so sad, after all, I've helped you so much."
Nilou quickly replied: "No, no, I also sent an invitation to Regent, but I never received a reply..."
Miyashiro: "Is that so? Then I don't mind. Nahida and I were discussing some matters. She heard there was a banquet in the Grand Bazaar, and she wanted to attend but felt embarrassed, so I brought her over."
Paimon: "Is that so? Good job!"
At this moment, Miyashiro's gaze noticed Collei, who was hiding behind Tighnari and dared not look him directly, and he said with a solemn expression: "God residue? Are you Collei?"
Tighnari immediately stepped forward and answered for Collei: "Yes, I am Collei's master and guardian, Tighnari. Is there anything you need?"
Seeing Tighnari's wary look, Miyashiro couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be so nervous. Seeing the God residue in Collei just reminds me of my wife. However, the God residue in my wife has already been completely cleared."
Cyno and Tighnari immediately became excited and quickly asked: "You... no, Regent, how did you do it?"
It's no wonder Tighnari and Cyno were so excited. Collei's life was truly pitiful. She unfortunately contracted Eleazar in her childhood. Her parents believed the rumors from Snezhnaya and personally sent her to Dottore's command, but Dottore's subordinates injected God residue into her body.
Although Collei miraculously survived, the pain of being infected with two incurable diseases at the same time was no easier than death.
Now, Collei's Eleazar has been completely cured, but the God residue sealed in her body is still dangerous and requires constant observation.
In fact, Tighnari and Cyno both knew that God residue, like Eleazar, was not a human disease. They could only delay the worsening of the condition.
And now, this Regent said that his wife was also a victim of God residue, and is now completely cured. How could this not excite Tighnari and Cyno?
However, despite his excitement, Tighnari still remained cautious, worried that Miyashiro was lying. After all, Collei's parents had mistakenly believed Snezhnaya's lies.
Miyashiro: "It's very simple. You just need to ask Lord Rex Lapis of Liyue for a jar of thousand-year-old Osmanthus Wine, and then give it to Lord Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt."
Everyone present, except Lumine and Paimon, unconsciously gasped. Was this request still considered simple?
Leaving aside what that thousand-year-old Osmanthus Wine was actually used for, just those two Gods were beings that mortals could not easily encounter.
Moreover, wasn't it said that Lord Rex Lapis of Liyue had already fallen? And that Lord Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, had disappeared for a thousand years. Finding him was simply a pipe dream.
Seeing that there was no hope for Collei's condition, Collei, Tighnari, and Cyno all looked dejected. What could be more painful than being given hope only to face despair again?
Just as everyone was looking worried, Paimon, on the other hand, said nonchalantly: "Eh?! Is it that simple? So the street performer has such great abilities."
Tighnari was stunned when he heard Paimon's words and asked: "Paimon, do you know the Anemo Archon?"
Paimon put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "Of course, the Traveler and I once badmouthed the Anemo Archon to his face in Mondstadt, mooched off the Geo Archon in Liyue, fought with Ei in Inazuma, and saved the Dendro Archon in Sumeru. We have a very good relationship with these Gods.
Hmm, how about this, if Collei has a chance to go to Mondstadt, I'll ask the street performer to help. Uh, as for the social outcast's thousand-year-old Osmanthus Wine... why don't you, Cyno, go look in the Akademiya and see if there's any old and delicious wine? If the quality isn't good, then rely on quantity, the street performer isn't picky anyway."
Cyno nodded at this. This matter was a trivial one for him, who was already the General Mahamatra. If that didn't work, he still had Alhaitham, who was the Acting Grand Sage, by his side.
At this moment, Cyno and Tighnari were already considering what reason would be best to visit Mondstadt, while Collei, on the side, was already in tears, not knowing if it was because she had learned of the hope for a cure, or because she could go to Mondstadt and see Amber again...
