"Who's got the loudest voice??"
Wan Qingyun was a bit bewildered when she received Capricorn's message.
The Viking war cry sounded pretty good, but then she thought about it—it was just about who had the loudest voice, and it seemed to lower the prestige of the event.
Regardless of the activity, Wan Qingyun was now worried whether Jiang Junyi could win this event.
This wasn't Jiangcheng, after all…
Wan Qingyun bit her lip. "Should I… let Capricorn and the others use some tricks?"
Just as she thought this, Capricorn's message came through again.
"Lord, those who know about the tears of heaven crystal blooming will only appear after the champion is produced. They cannot be found before that."
Alright, that path was closed.
Now, they could only rely on Junyi's own strength.
"There's one more thing…"
"Tell me."
"Aries's tracks seem to have been found here."
Aries? Star Lord!
Thinking of this, Wan Qingyun frowned.
"Then gather the rest of the Black Palace members and rescue him!"
"Yes!"
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her brow.
"What are you thinking about? You look troubled."
Jiang Junyi gently brushed Wan Qingyun's tightly furrowed brows and asked.
"Hmm… nothing. Oh, by the way, Junyi, how's your… voice?" Wan Qingyun blurted out something that made him bewildered.
Why was the topic suddenly about his voice?
"It should… be alright?" Jiang Junyi rubbed his chin and answered truthfully.
Even without the Shadow Heart, he was still a Little Grandmaster, so his voice should be stronger than an ordinary person's.
"Then… good luck…" Wan Qingyun said something that left him utterly confused.
"Huh? Good luck with what?" Jiang Junyi asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, nothing. You'll know later." Wan Qingyun waved her hand.
"Oh~" Jiang Junyi leaned closer to Wan Qingyun. "Is there a little surprise?"
"Kind of… kind of."
Wan Qingyun said with an unnatural expression.
Seeing Wan Qingyun's expression, Jiang Junyi understood.
She must have hidden something and wanted to give him a surprise!
Thinking this, he felt quite pleased.
The two chatted for a while, sometimes laughing softly, sometimes playfully bickering.
An hour quickly passed.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Young Master, Young Mistress, the wind and snow have lessened considerably. Do you wish to go out?"
Uncle Wu's voice rang out.
"Let's go." Jiang Junyi stroked Wan Qingyun's beautiful hair.
"Okay."
Leaving their residence, the exaggerated cold wind had already vanished, and goose-feather-like snowflakes slowly drifted down.
At this moment, it was the gentle wind and snow Wan Qingyun had spoken of earlier.
On the streets now, there were occasionally people from E-country walking by, wearing Viking horned helmets and fur cloaks.
Some children were dressed similarly, holding toy battle axes.
Along both sides of the street, something seemed to be under construction, as if a grand festival was about to begin.
"What's going on?" Jiang Junyi asked curiously.
"Young Master, Skellige seems to be about to hold the Sky God Treasure event," Uncle Wu replied.
"Sky God Treasure?" Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun, his eyes slightly narrowed.
This name made him instinctively connect it to the description of the tears of heaven crystal—transformed by the Sky God's pity for the blind.
Could there be a connection between the two?
"Young Master, the winner of the Sky God Treasure event will receive the coordinates of the tears of heaven crystal, as well as the method for it to bloom."
Uncle Wu's words caused Jiang Junyi's pupils to constrict.
"Is that true?"
"Yes, I have already inquired about this," Uncle Wu bowed slightly.
Well, this is what you call professionalism.
Wan Qingyun, in her wheelchair, couldn't help but reveal a smile upon hearing this.
Jiang Junyi looked at Wan Qingyun at this moment, his eyes filled with tenderness.
I wondered why Qingyun suggested coming to Skellige… so she found the tears of heaven crystal already…
After Uncle Wu finished explaining, he immediately thought of Wan Qingyun's suggestion.
Now it seemed that his wife must have already dispatched Black Palace members when he mentioned searching for the two items.
Oh, I love it!
"When is it being held?" Jiang Junyi asked.
"Two days from now."
Jiang Junyi nodded. In two days, the tears of heaven crystal would be theirs!
Just then, a sweet scent wafted into Jiang Junyi's nostrils.
"I smell it, a delicious aroma!" Jiang Junyi sniffed.
"Oh, so sweet." Wan Qingyun exclaimed.
"Let's go! Let's see!"
In front of the old newsstand, A Tiao had displayed freshly baked honey cakes and was sitting idly by.
"Sigh… these two are really impatient…"
Capricorn, upon hearing that Aries was still alive, was preparing to rally people for a rescue.
Leo, on the other hand, was following his lead to investigate, but who knew what her little brain could uncover.
"Boss, how much for these?" Jiang Junyi's gentle voice rang out, speaking in the local language.
A Tiao looked up. "What?! A handsome guy?! What?! A beautiful lady?! Huh? A Great Xia person?!"
"Twenty for three," A Tiao replied in the Great Xia language.
"Fellow countryman?" Jiang Junyi asked in surprise.
"Who says not?" A Tiao smiled. "If I hadn't seen you were from Great Xia, I would have doubled the price, no matter what."
"It's so cold, why is this cake giving off such a strong aroma?" Wan Qingyun asked curiously.
A Tiao crossed his arms and smiled smugly: "This is my exclusive secret recipe, and this is just an appetizer."
"Appetizer? What do you mean?" Jiang Junyi was intrigued by the interesting person in front of him.
"In two days is the Sky God Treasure event. At that time, I will bring out even more delicious cakes."
A Tiao chuckled, as if he had thought of something.
"All the odin gold coins are mine!"
"odin gold coins?" Wan Qingyun was puzzled.
"Ah, during the event, there will be all sorts of games, and at that time, all consumption here can only be made with odin gold coins."
"And at that time, odin gold coins will be valuable!"
A Tiao licked his lips, his eyes revealing a craving for money.
"Qingyun, quickly try it~"
"Mmm, it's so delicious, it tastes very much like ice cream."
"Really? Can I try some too?"
"Ah! I've already eaten that one!"
"Hehe."
A Tiao turned his head. Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun had already walked far away.
"Bang!"
A Tiao slammed the table. "Damn it, I lured a dog in to kill!"
Just then, he suddenly felt something and looked sharply at Wan Qingyun.
"Holy crap?! Lord?!"
A Tiao looked stunned, slowly slumping onto the table.
"I… I just took money from the Lord?"
"Does that mean Big Sister Head is going to take my life too?"
"Capricorn! Why didn't you say anything?!"
"And I missed the chance to recover my strength."
At this moment, A Tiao was extremely distressed…
Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun continued to stroll for a while. Almost all the shop owners they encountered were mysterious.
Each one hid their good stuff, piquing the interest of tourists.
They also generally learned about the background of Skellige.
This area, long ago, was called the Skellige Archipelago.
Viking pirates were rampant here.
According to legend, the Viking Pirate King's daughter suddenly lost her sight, and he offered a high price to find someone to cure her.
During that period, various professions such as witchers, witches, and so on, flocked to this place.
But the final result was powerlessness.
At this time, a witcher named Geralt told the Viking Pirate King, "The sins you have committed, the excessive killing, this is punishment from the Sky God."
From then on, the Pirate King restrained his subordinates and became a righteous envoy around the archipelago.
Since then, the Skellige Archipelago prospered.
One day, when the Viking Pirate King was praying to the Sky God, his daughter miraculously regained her sight.
It turned out that Geralt had found the blooming tears of heaven crystal at the peak of a snowy mountain and brought it back to cure the Pirate King's daughter.
Before this, the tears of heaven crystal had never bloomed.
Thus, the Sky God Treasure legend was passed down.
"Hmm… do you think this is true, Junyi?"
On the snowy street, Wan Qingyun asked curiously.
"Hmm…" Jiang Junyi replied while pushing Wan Qingyun, "There should be some exaggeration."
"But I think the truth is likely that this witcher named Geralt wanted to stop the Pirate King's tyranny."
"I was talking about the tears of heaven crystal."
Jiang Junyi's hand paused, and he gripped the armrest slightly:
"This, this must be true."
