Huge sacred trees rise from the ground,

Like a wild giant, standing in the center of this area,

A huge city was built around the sacred tree,

There is a floating ladder that goes all the way up around the sacred tree.

As the stairs go up,

It is the teaching council that integrates all the wisdom of Sumeru. It is also the governing body of Sumeru, and it is the largest academic institution in Teyvat.

Above the Jiaolingyuan is the Jingshan Palace where the legendary Little Lucky Grass King lives.

It is located high on the sacred tree, seemingly overlooking the land of Meru, watching his people multiply and thrive.

Arriving at the gate of Xumi City,

Ying and Paimon had a dusty aura about them,

At first glance, you can tell he is an outside adventurer.

Paimon flying in mid-air attracted the attention of many people, and everyone discussed in low voices whether this white floating elf was the latest product developed by the Order Academy.

However, the basic education in Xumi City was not bad, and no one came directly to disturb Ying and Paimon's tour.

"Speaking of which, Tinari asked us to take the letter to that so-and-so Secretary Elhaysen, but where should we look for it?"

Paimon floated next to Ying, tilting his head and asked.

Yingye looked at the strange scene of people coming and going around him, and after thinking about it carefully, they knew a few Xumi people, but those people were either in Daoji or Liyue.

If I really want to talk about the people I know in Xumi City,

There seems to be only one left.

"Let's go find Catherine. The Adventurers Association should also have a branch in Xumi."

Paimon nodded: "Yes, yes, you can ask someone from the Adventurers Association."

Then Ying took out the map given by Tinari and looked at it carefully.

"Here, located at the entrance of the Grand Bazaar and downstream of Baoshang Street, is the location of the Xumi Adventurers Association."

After finding the target, Ying put away the map again,

"Let's go and take a look."

With that said, Ying led Paimon towards the destination.

Along the way, Ying and Paimon were attracted by the novel things around them. They stopped and walked. After a while, they arrived at the Adventurers Association.

I don’t know if it’s Xumi’s special habit.

Ying saw a few small purple flowers on the counter next to Catherine.

She knew that Tinari had told her that it was a plant called Sumeru Rose.

"Catherine~"

Paimon didn't pay attention to the Xumi Rose on the table. He flew to Catherine and waved.

"Toward the Star."

"Traveler, welcome to Xumi. Do you need any help?"

Catherine looked at Ying and Paimon with a smile.

Ying didn't continue to look at the three Sumeru roses, and took a step forward: "That's it, we accepted the commission from Tinari, the ranger of Huachengguo, and sent a letter to Elhaysen, the secretary of the Imperial Academy, but our first

I came to Xumi once and didn’t know where the secretary was, so I came over to ask you and see if I could get help.”

Ying did not directly explain things like letters of introduction,

Instead, disguise it as a task.

It doesn’t mean anything else, it’s just that I was scared of the wanted persons in the two countries before.

I thought that by disguising it as a commissioned task, it would not attract the attention of the officials of the Ecclesiastical Order.

Catherine nodded: "Is it a commission? Although the corresponding task is not found in the system, Traveler, you are an adventurer, and the Adventurer Association will also provide you with some help."

"Secretary Elhaysen's office is located in the Ecclesiarchy. I will plan the way forward for you."

Catherine looked businesslike, and then her expression suddenly changed,

"Hey! Don't travelers have a void terminal?"

Ying and Paimon were a little confused.

"Void Terminal, what is that?"

Catherine turned her head, revealing the green device next to her ear,

"This is the Void Terminal. In Sumeru City, many things can be accomplished through the Void Terminal. I just wanted to link your Void Terminal and plan your route to Secretary Elhaysen's office."

Ying and Paimon were a little anxious: "Ah, how do I get the Void Terminal?"

After hearing that the Void Terminal was such an important thing, Ying and Paimon also wanted something.

Catherine smiled: "You came at the right time. A few days ago, the association asked the Order for a few void terminals. The traveler is a senior adventurer being compiled by the association. It is not too much to give you two void terminals."

As she spoke, Catherine took out two green leaf-like devices from the counter.

"This is the terminal of the void. You can open it by holding it in your hands and saying silently, 'May I be able to listen to the voice of wisdom from the gods.'"

Ying and Paimon took the green leaf-like device from Catherine's hand,

Following Catherine's instructions, I recited silently: "May I be able to listen to the voice of God's wisdom."

next moment,

The green leaf-like device flashed and appeared in Ying and Paimon's ears, and a virtual screen flashed in front of their eyes.

Ying looked at Catherine curiously,

Sure enough, data flashed on the screen of the Void Terminal,

Some information appeared,

[Name: Catherine,

Belongs to: Adventurers Association,

Occupation: Receptionist at the Adventurers Association,

Judgment: No threat.]

A very simple piece of information, but it is enough to explain Catherine's identity.

"Wow, that's great!" Paimon exclaimed as he was also trying out the Void Terminal.

Catherine looked at the two men trying, smiled slightly, and did not interrupt.

a long time,

Ying and Paimon exited the void terminal and looked at Catherine, blushing slightly in embarrassment.

This thing was so fun that they forgot about anything serious for a while.

"Sorry for taking up your time, Catherine."

Ying said sorry softly.

Catherine shook her head: "It doesn't matter. Void is the legacy of King Daci Shu. You can like it. I'm very happy."

"Huh?" Ying tilted her head, "Why are you happy about the legacy of King Daci Shu?"

Knowing that she had made a mistake, Catherine immediately changed the subject: "Now that you also have a void terminal, I will plan a route for you."

Saying that, Catherine stretched out her hand and pressed the void terminal next to her ear: "Link to the other party's void terminal and plan the most reasonable route to Secretary Elhaysen's office."

Then a voice rang in Ying's ears,

"I received a connection request from Katherine, the receptionist of the Adventurers Association. Do you agree?"

Ying immediately responded: "Agree!"

With Ying's consent, the void screen in front of him immediately updated, and a three-dimensional road appeared in front of Ying.

[Adventurers Association - Alhaysen Office, the route has been planned. 】

“It’s really convenient.”

Ying's eyes were filled with shock,

It would be much easier if you had such a convenient tool to assist you when venturing outside. At least you would have one less map to carry.

"Haha, right, but it can only be used in big cities like Sumeru City and Ormos Port. In the wild or in small villages, the signal in the void will become worse, so it is impossible to do such a convenient thing."

Catherine smiled and said to her.

"So that's it, but it's also great. If tourists come to Xumi, they can configure a void terminal and play like locals."
