Chapter 655: 2 Letters, Great Devil, Mysterious Islands

the next day.

Mond.

"The most important thing in a summer is... an emergency?" Paimon looked at the gate of Mondstadt. Caravans and tourists were coming and going, and it was very peaceful and harmonious.

"Jiang Yi, what exactly are you talking about?"

She and Ying followed Jiang Yi into Mond City, looking at the slowly spinning windmill and the sunny sky.

"Is it a summer rainstorm? Or a wind that can blow people away? Or a tsunami?"

"But looking at the weather and the peaceful atmosphere of Mondstadt, it seems that these disasters will not happen."

Paimeng thought about this question for a few days, but still couldn't figure out what Jiang Yi was referring to.

Ying put her hand under her chin and thought: "Summer?"

Jiang Yi shook his head and smiled. He remembered a letter he received that day, a letter he saw in the room when he returned to the courtyard from Yuehai Pavilion.

"Good morning, boy who counts girls' birthdays! Haha! I hope you didn't notice! Klee's birthday is coming, and you seem to have prepared a gift. Well, please don't ruin the surprise I prepared for Klee! Shh! Keep it a secret... You will agree, right? - Sender, the great adventurer of the worlds, the friend of the hopeful big friends."

"It seems that I can only be a riddler and a bystander." He smiled and came to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius. "But the title of young man is unique."

"And... you certainly did not let me see how you carried the letter to the courtyard."

"I'm looking forward to meeting you one day."

Enter the Knights of Favonius.

At first glance, I saw Klee wearing a red hat and carrying a backpack, facing the confinement room, biting her fingers, thinking about something.

"It's Klee." Paimon waved his hand.

Because Klee was either in the detention room or on her way to get into trouble, she felt it was a rare opportunity every time she saw Klee.

It felt like, oh! Klee came out of the confinement room again today.

Kelly heard the voice and turned around.

"Wow! It's Brother Jiang Yi, Sister Ying and Paimon." She showed a big cute smile.

Soon, she frowned and said in fear: "Woo woo! I was just about to go look for you guys..."

"Huh?" Ying smelled the scent of the mission.

"What happened, Keli." Jiang Yi squatted down and said.

"Ke Li received a very scary letter and had to go somewhere." Ke Li looked at Jiang Yi expectantly, "Brother Jiang Yi, can you take me there?"

"As long as Keli wants, I can take you anywhere! Brother Jiang Yi is very powerful now." Jiang Yi touched Keli's head gently.

"Indeed!" Paimon nodded, "But, where are you going, Klee?"

"Terrible letter?" Ying asked curiously. Could this be the emergency that Jiang Yi mentioned?

"That person doesn't acknowledge that Klee is a member of Duduke's family, and says he wants to test Klee by asking her to go to the Duduke Kingdom...but...but..." Klee said anxiously.

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly..." Jiang Yi soothed.

"Who is that person?" Ying asked.

"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy! His name is the Great Devil Dudu!" Klee waved her fist angrily.

"..." Ying was sure that she had heard correctly, "Dudu... Big Devil?"

Paimon scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "What a... terrible name."

"It's scary, isn't it?" Kelly agreed, "He must be a very bad guy."

Jiang Yi seemed to be able to hear the laughter of the "Great Adventurer of All Worlds" who was paying close attention to the moment in the distant place, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

Although he already knew the answer and the truth from his memory of the game, in order to cooperate with the prankster and not ruin the "surprise" she gave to Klee, he could only pretend that he knew nothing.

“Devil King Dudu…” he said gently, “Don’t worry, Keli. No matter how powerful Devil King Dudu is, he must admit that Keli is Dudu’s family member.”

"Yes!" Kelly nodded firmly.

"But who is the great devil Dudu? We have never heard of him! Where can we find him?" Paimon spread his hands.

"Huh! Brother Jiang Yi, Sister Ying, and Paimon don't know about the Great Devil Dudu?" Klee said disappointedly.

"Klee hadn't heard of it either. Klee was going to look for Brother Albedo, but Brother Albedo wasn't at home, so Klee thought of Brother Jiang Yi and Sister Ying."

"Oh, this is a letter from the great devil Dudu." Keli rummaged through her backpack and took out the letter. "I'll read it to you."

"Evil fire girl, in the name of the Dudu clan... uh, I can't read here... the great devil Dudu, I deny your qualification to become Dudu's new family!" Klee scratched her head and read stumblingly, "Unless you bring Dudu to the Golden Apple Islands and light up... uh... accept... uh..."

"There are a few words that Ke Li doesn't know..."

Ying squatted down: "Let's take a look."

She placed the letter in front of herself, Jiang Yi and Paimeng.

“Unless you bring Duduko to the Golden Apple Islands, light up the four lamps, knock on the door of the Trialist, and accept the judgment of the Ruler.”

Jiang Yi pointed at the words one by one and read them to Ke Li.

"Ruler, which means she is the most powerful person in the Golden Apple Islands. She has the final say in the Golden Apple Islands."

"Lighting up the four lamps and knocking on the door of the trialist means accepting some kind of challenge to gain the opportunity of her recognition."

"The trial means that she will judge you in the end to see if you are qualified to be a member of Dudu Ke's family."

Keli frowned and said, "Judgment... uh... judgment?"

Paimon shook his hand and said, "It means he will look at you like a great man and criticize you. Anyway, it's not a good thing."

"If you don't get recognition, he'll ask you to give the Duduko back."

"Why is this happening?" Klee's eyes turned red with anger. "Dudu is Klee's good friend, I will never give it to him!"

"But..." Keli felt disappointed again, "The Kingdom of Duduko... He said he was the most powerful person in the Dudu clan. Could it be that... the Dudu clan is Duduko's family?"

Paimon stroked his chin and said, "From the name, that's exactly what it means. But where is the Golden Apple Islands in the Kingdom of Duduko?"

Keli sighed and spread her hands: "Keli doesn't know."

Ying thought and recalled: "I have never seen an island with this name on the maps of Mondstadt and Liyue provided by the Adventurer's Guild. Should I find a more detailed map?"

Paimeng suddenly raised his head, put his hands on his hips and said, "Jiang Yi, you are good at fortune-telling, right? Is this the emergency you mentioned? Since you have anticipated it, you should know where the Golden Apple Islands are, right?"

"Ah! Brother Jiang Yi!" Keli blinked her big eyes and pulled Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment: "There is a mysterious power hidden in the Golden Apple Islands, and the divination technique is difficult to predict."

This is the truth. He really couldn't figure it out and could only see a gust of wind.

Damn, someone’s out of wine.

Keli's ears drooped: "Isn't the omnipotent brother Jiang Yi also not capable of this?"

Jiang Yi quickly added: "But I know that someone knows this place."

Compared to the collapse of my great image, it’s okay to break the promise I made to that friend.

"Eh——" Ying and Paimeng exclaimed softly.

"Wow - I knew it." Kelly jumped up excitedly, "Let's go find him."

"Wait a minute, Keli." Jiang Yi pulled Keli, "Maybe when you got the letter, the great devil Dudu had already begun testing you."

“Ah!” Klee was horrified. “Did Klee not perform well? After all, Klee doesn’t even know where the Golden Apple Islands are…Brother Jiang Yi…”

Jiang Yi touched Keli's little head and said, "Don't be nervous. I'll give Keli a hint, and Keli will think about it, and then she will solve the mystery step by step and find out the location of the Golden Apple Islands and the Dudu Kingdom."

"If Klee can figure out the answer to the riddle by herself, then in the eyes of the great devil Dudu, Klee must be very smart and excellent, and can be a reliable elf in Dudu's family."

"She will admit that Keli is Dudu Ke's family."

Keli's eyes lit up: "Is that so? Sister Ying."

This guy Jiang Yi must know something.

Ying glanced at Jiang Yi, then smiled and nodded to Ke Li: "That's right."

The flying Paimeng looked down at the squatting Jiang Yi.

"Ha! It smells like a lie, and it's the tone used to coax a child very skillfully." She muttered silently.

When she noticed Jiang Yi looked back at her, her body suddenly felt cold.

"Then let me give Klee the first hint! Klee has seen someone who knows about this Dudu Kingdom!" Jiang Yi smiled and turned to Klee and said, "Think carefully, who could it be?"

"Klee has seen it before..." Klee lowered her head and thought, "This is the first time Klee has heard of the Golden Apple Islands. So the Golden Apple... Islands..."

One minute later.

"Klee knows, it must be an island with a lot of apples. Then the people who have seen and know the Golden Apple Islands must be uncles and aunts who sell apples."

Ying and Paimeng were originally thinking about who Jiang Yi might be referring to, but Klee's words confused their thoughts.

"This... this name, shouldn't be understood in this way! But... it seems possible?" Paimon is Ying's guide in Teyvat after all. Although he is useless most of the time and knows nothing, he also knows that many place names are generally named according to local specialties or local terrain shapes.

"Then let's go find the uncles and aunts who sell apples." Keli became motivated again and rushed out with her head down.

"Hey! That's in the lower city." Paimon was shocked.

Ying and Jiang Yi followed.

"Let me take Keli with me." Jiang Yi pulled Keli up and quickly came to the downtown area.

"Uncle and aunt, do you know where the Golden Apple Islands are?" Kelly raised her head and asked the stall owner selling apples.

"Golden Apple Islands? I don't know." The man shook his head.

"It's an island with lots and lots of apples," Klee emphasized.

"I don't know that! We pick our apples from orchards near Mondstadt." The man continued to shake his head.

"Ah! Isn't it this one?" Ke Li was not disappointed and ran to the nearby houses to ask.

Unfortunately, no one knows.

"Keli, think about it again. For Dudu Ke, you can't just give up like this." Jiang Yi comforted her.

"Yes! Klee will never give up. She must go there! At worst... Klee will go and ask everyone she has met in Mondstadt." Klee was full of fighting spirit.

"Keli can provide off-field assistance. It can't be me, but it can be the unpredictable sister Ying." Jiang Yi looked at Ying.

"Why can't it be Brother Jiang Yi?" Keli thought to herself, but she quickly ignored it. "Maybe it's because Brother Jiang Yi is too smart and already knows. If Keli helps her, she will be cheating. So, she has to find Sister Ying."

Jiang Yi let go and watched Keli go to ask Ying for help.

Ying and Paimon took the letter and read it again.

There were only a few words written on the front of the letter, with no signature... Asked Ke Li, "Is the envelope still there?"

Kelly said, "The letter didn't have an envelope. I didn't know where it was sent from. I just knew it suddenly appeared on the windowsill of my room."

Paimon racked his brains and felt that this was a prank.

"A family that suddenly appeared... it's too weird."

"The Great Devil Dudu, the Dudu clan... If I remember correctly, Dudu is the doll on Klee's backpack, right?"

"It has..."

Klee interrupted, "No! Dudu is Klee's best friend, not a doll!"

"Okay!" Paimon admitted his mistake.

She almost wanted to say that dolls don’t have a family, and if there is a family, it should be in the toy research institute where the toy salesperson works.

Maybe I should ask Tartaglia.

But Tartaglia is a fake toy salesman who works at Northland Bank.
