Chapter 1129: Keli's request for help, the story is a metaphor for reality

"Nothing." Jiang Yi looked at Albedo. Where Albedo walked, there was a drawing board that had just been colored.

"Albedo, are you there?" Paimon asked puzzledly.

"I was invited by Kamisato Ayato, the company's magistrate, to paint a portrait of Gokasen." Albedo said, "On the day I went to watch your succession ceremony, the editor-in-chief of Yaedo had already given me Gokasen's detailed information. Thanks to that lady named Xiao Gong, who helped take care of Klee, I had more time to conceive and paint."

Before coming, he actually didn't know what to draw. Although time was a bit tight, he had also experienced more thrilling things like finishing a draft within a few hours.

"I have already painted the portrait of 'Cui Guang', the first of the Five Song Fairies."

"In the story, Cui Guang is a poet of commoner origin, free and unrestrained, and loves drinking. The bard Venti, who almost lost the invitation to the Rongcai Festival, gave me a lot of inspiration."

Kamisato Ayaka laughed when she heard this and said, "It corresponds to the story of the Five Songs Fairy, where Cui Guang got drunk and someone accidentally stole the poem that was supposed to be given to the general."

"Hmm! Lord Wendy has been either drunk or on his way to being drunk these past few days." Albedo said suspiciously, "Although he said he was the boss of Angel's Gift and came here to compare the taste of Mond wine and Inazuma wine."

As the group chatted, they walked to the center of the small square in front of the International Chamber of Commerce, which was called the "Five Songs Fairy Square" during the festival. Five painting boards were hung in front of the horse-drawn carriages under a large fiery red maple tree. One of them had a painting on it.

The poet in green clothes was drunk and lying on the table where he was writing poetry, snoring.

"Mr. Albedo's painting of the singing fairy is not only very Inazuma-style, but also in line with modern people's aesthetics." Kamisato Ayaka praised, "It's a great painting."

"Thank you." Albedo responded simply, "I have also got inspiration for the remaining four. I should be able to finish them before the official opening of the Rongcai Festival tomorrow."

"This festival is a cultural exchange exhibition centered on light novel creation! Nearby shops have already started selling special products linked to light novels, so if you're interested, you can go check it out!"

Kamisato Ayaka nodded: "Then I won't disturb you from continuing your creation."

"Jiang Yi, I have to arrange the flower arrangement course for the Rongcai Festival. From now on, you will be the one entertaining all the friends."

She thought of the days when she was Jiang Yi's flower arrangement teacher, and a smile appeared on her lips.

I don’t know if Noel is a little sensitive, but I always feel that Kamisato Ayaka is like the hostess at this moment. Before leaving, she asked the host to entertain the guests.

The competition for status is in the invisible interaction. Kurumi looked at Kamisato Ayaka, who was showing her status in a gentle and silent way.

Incredible!

None of the girls around Jiang Yi are simple.

Jiang Yi watched Kamisato Ayaka leave and said to the girls, "Let's go check out the light novel stalls around here!"

The Rongcai Festival has not yet opened, but the light novel exchange meeting has already begun.

"Klee, Xiao Gong, and Kaeya?" Everyone unexpectedly met acquaintances at the venue.

"Wow! Brother Jiang Yi, Sister Ying, Little Paimon, Noelle, Sister Barbara, Sister Hu Tao, Sister Shen He..." Ke Li almost couldn't catch her breath, "It's so long."

It took little Keli many days just to remember the names of the many sisters that Brother Jiang Yi knew.

Fortunately, today, sister Kamisato Ayaka, sister Xiangling, sister Yunjin, sister Xinyan, sister Mona, sister Fischl, sister Coral Palace Xinhai, sister Ganyu... did not come together.

"It's really enviable that a brother named Jiang Yi has found his way into the room among so many sisters!" Kaiya's words made Xiao Gong cover her mouth and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Jiang Yi, Klee wants to ask you for help." Klee suddenly said coquettishly, "Brother Kaiya said that you are the most powerful person in Inazuma, and you can definitely help little Klee."

"What does Keli want me to do for you?" Jiang Yi squatted down and asked.

"Well, the adults on Mingshen Island don't allow us to set off fireworks. Sister Xiaogong and I walked around here in the morning. Sister Xiaogong took me to eat a lot of delicious food and accompanied me to write a story about Dudu Ke." Keli shook her body and said, "Keli also wants to publish a book like Brother Jiang Yi, so that more people can see Dudu Ke's story."

"Unfortunately, the printing factory here in Inazuma is overwhelmed with orders." Kaiya said, "We are trying to find a solution now."

"I understand. Leave it to me!" Jiang Yi took out the jade slip and contacted the Eightfold Divine Son. In less than a minute, "Okay, done!"

"So fast?" Xiao Gong was surprised, "Did you find Kamisato Ayaka? After all, the Rongcai Festival is held by the Society Bugyo."

"As expected of you, Deputy Lord Inazuma." Kaeya praised in Liyue dialect with a smile, and the word "Deputy Lord" somehow sounded strange.

Husband? Hu Tao knew it immediately.

"No! It's the Eightfold Son of God!" Jiang Yi looked at Kaiya speechlessly, always feeling that this "pirate" was secretly adding fuel to the fire.

"The Inazuma chapter of the Teyvat Travel Guide written by Ms. Alice, Klee's mother, is being printed at the printing factory. Although we cannot insert the order, Klee's story can be combined with the Teyvat Travel Guide. However, the space occupied may be much smaller than if they were printed separately."

"Wait a minute, tell Klee the bad news first, then the good news!"

"How about you do this, Kaia?"

He looked at Klee who was chatting with Ying and Paimon over there.

"It turns out that Keli's mother can also write books!" Xiao Gong looked at Keli.

The famous adventurer in the continent and the author of "Travel Guide to Teyvat" is Klee's mother, which is really amazing.

"Hmm! It sounds like this is going to be a best-selling book that the editor-in-chief of Yaedo will give a slogan like 'The most famous mother and daughter adventurers of Teyvat appear together.'" Kaeya said with a smile, "Or we can save the good news for Klee as a surprise for that day."

Klee heard the bad news that the page size was reduced, but she was very happy that it could be printed successfully.

“Great! Brother Jiang Yi is indeed an awesome person.” Because in her heart, the most awesome person is her mother, Klee is willing to rank Brother Jiang Yi and Brother Albedo tied for second place.

"This four-leaf clover lucky firework is for Brother Jiang Yi." She took out the secret gift she and Xiao Gong made.

"Thank you, Keli." Jiang Yi held the ammunition with a smile on his face.

There are many flammable materials in the Rongcai Festival, so the community official has ordered that fireworks are prohibited here. However, once they leave Minggami Island and go to his side, Klee and Xiao Gong can set off fireworks to their heart's content.

At the venue, everyone soon met Fischl, who was pulling Mona to buy the light novel "The Night Tale of Princess Fischl".

Mona watched hell approaching and left in panic with Fischl.

Everyone who saw this was confused.

So I went back to see Albedo who had already completed the second painting of the Five Songs.

"Aoi, the Five Songs Immortal, was coerced by an unknown person to steal Cui Guang's poems. He didn't know why the unknown person asked him to do this, but the unknown person used the story of his old friend 'Red Man' to lure him into submission." Albedo explained to everyone.

"The person in the picture looks like Xingqiu." Paimeng said.

"It's really Xingqiu. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him and Chongyun in the past few days." Hu Tao's words made Jiang Yi and Ying's hearts skip a beat.

Jiang Yi looked at the message on his jade slip.

"Thanks to Manye's help, I found a solution to the problem that my handwriting is too messy to sign. Manye said that when he was sailing on the sea, he would occasionally carve something to pass the time. Why not use the author's signature template to carve the maker's personal seal and sign it on the spot."

"The saying 'seal is equivalent to signature' is popular in Liyue and Inazuma. This has been approved by the editor of Yaedo, and they are planning to arrange a signing event for all readers. Jiang Yi, send us one of your author signatures! We will carve yours as well."

The sender is Xingqiu.

"Okay, if other authors' signatures don't look good, I have a master here, maybe I can help commission a design." Jiang Yi looked at Albedo.

"Is it Mr. Bai Ke? Yes! If it is designed by Mr. Bai Ke, it will indeed look better than our own design." Xingqiu said.

"I got Chongyun out of the way. Now I'm worried about you. Hu Tao suddenly came over and found out that I'm 'Zhenyu', the author of 'Shen Qiu Shi Jian Lu'. As the second son of Liyue Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, if this news leaks out, I'm afraid I'll be finished."

While Jiang Yi and Xingqiu were chatting, Albedo was talking about the follow-up story of the Five Song Fairy.

"Aoi is an old man who is good at playing chess. In addition to poetry, he also wrote novels. He became famous relatively late. Some say that his true identity is a shogunate official, while others say that he is a long-lived demon fox."

Albedo painted this picture using Xingqiu as the model. He has also completed most of the next painting, which is a red man based on the image of Kaedehara Manye.

"The Red Man is good at swordsmanship and may be a warrior. He got his name because he likes to stamp his works with red seals. He was discovered by the general for plagiarizing poems and was exiled..."

While everyone was waiting for Albedo to finish the painting, Kamisato Ayaka finished the arrangements over there and came back.

Coincidentally, this fourth painting is based on Kamisato Ayaka.

"The fourth of the Five Song Fairies is Sumire. Legend has it that she was a shrine maiden who was good at flower arrangement and dancing. Later, she served as a maid to the general. One story says that she resigned from her official position after becoming famous and concentrated on her creation. Another story says that she still accompanied the general and served him in her later years." Kamisato Ayaka looked at Albedo's painting.

"Well! Do you want to make a set of clothes like the one in the painting?" Jiang Yi looked at the light-colored long-sleeved kimono in the painting.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked at him sideways.

"I suddenly feel that your presence here has a great impact on Albedo's creation..." Paimon looked at Jiang Yi who were showing their affection. Wasn't he afraid that the girls around them would get jealous?

"Then let's all order one?" Jiang Yi refused to repent.

"It's okay with me!" Shen He said that she could also wear the shrine maiden costume.

Noelle, Barbara, and Kurumi had no objections either.

"Okay!" Seeing that everyone agreed, Kamisato Ayaka finally spoke up.

"Hmm? Ying doesn't want it?" Xiao Gong realized that someone was missing.

"I don't need it!" Ying doesn't want it.

"I heard that Yae Shinko is planning to let tourists try on the shrine maiden costumes and experience being a shrine maiden for a day for a fee." Jiang Yi looked at Ying, "How about you try it too? You can also choose from the shrine maiden costumes of Yae and Haizhi here?"

"Uh - I don't want to be your shrine maiden." Ying said she was dreaming.

"Then other costumes are fine!" Jiang Yi had never seen Ying change her clothes. This was a rare opportunity, so it would be nice for everyone to start a "Teyvat fashion".

"Mo Ran read all the books of the Red Man and found that only the plagiarized works were missing the red seal. He put the collection of poems into water, and the handwriting of the plagiarized works blurred and disappeared. Aoi Zhiong accidentally saw this and was reminded of the person he had stolen, so he returned the stolen poems to Cui Guang." Albedo told the whole story.

In ancient times, the plagiarized work used different ink, was not waterproof, and lacked the red seal, indicating that the red man was framed.

As for the last of the Five Singing Immortals "Black Lord", he does not have a separate story and is not described in detail in the legend, but he has appeared in the stories of these four singing immortals as an unknown person and a framer.

The story of Teyvat is a metaphor for reality.

In reality, there is naturally a black master.
