Explorer of Teyvat

Chapter 165 ~There is always the Riddler on the journey

Wang Dao nodded, and with a touch of his right hand, the Wu Gen Scroll floated in the palm of his hand and slowly opened.

The Grand Master's eyes lit up: "Scroll of Wugen!?"

"Huh?" Wang Daoyi was also surprised, "The Grand Master actually knows this thing?"

The Grand Master nodded and smiled at Wang Daoyi: "Of course, of course. When I was young, I was obsessed with skill forging. I once visited Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng in Aozang Mountain and saw this thing in the hands of Zhenjun. It's just that , I didn’t expect that my little friend also has it in his hands.”

Wang Daoyi was even more surprised. This old gentleman was actually received by Liu Yunqiu Feng. You must know that the proud and arrogant true monarch rarely falls in love with mortals, even if they have the eyes of gods.

"The scroll in my hand was given to me by Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng." Wang Daoyi explained, "And my drawings were also drawn by Zhenjun."

The Grand Master was more and more surprised. He knew Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun. If the other party took action, then this blueprint must be a masterpiece passed down from generation to generation.

However, he still carefully observed the information revealed by Wang Daoyi in Wu Gen's Volume.

While observing, he nodded and made a sound of surprise.

After a long while, Ningguang asked: "How is it, Grand Master?"

In fact, after seeing the Grand Master's reaction, Ningguang already knew that the matter was successful, and asking now was just to remind the other party of his contribution in this matter.

The Grand Master nodded under the eager gazes of everyone: "It is worthy of being the work of an immortal. It is indeed a blueprint that can be passed down from generation to generation. There is hope for this matter."

The masters also showed happy expressions.

Then, the Grand Master looked at Ning Guang and saw her smiling face. He knew that he had been taken advantage of, but he had a kind of nature that meant repaying kindness.

Moreover, the Grand Master looked at Wu Genzhijuan and Wang Daoyi again. Since this young man can stand with the Immortal's Things and Ningguang, does it mean that the Immortal is also willing to trust Qixing?

In just a short moment, the Grand Master had many considerations in his mind.

[From now on, please avoid embarrassment with her. 】

After making the decision, the Grand Master looked at Wang Daoyi and said, "Little friend, I don't know what we have to pay to participate."

The Grand Master did not ask the silly question of how much wages Wang Daoyi could pay, but directly asked what price he would have to pay to participate.

It's easy to talk to smart people.

Wang Dao spoke directly: "Now we only have the drawings, Hanfeng Ironware promised to provide a blacksmith and materials."

The Grand Master nodded and understood: "Then, no matter what is missing, we will cover it. I don't know, this dominance"

"I have made an agreement with Master Zhang of Hanfeng Iron Weapon that he will take the lead."

"Huh?" The Grand Master asked with some reluctance, "Can we make a contract?"

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "Although it is only a verbal agreement, I will not go back on it and cannot break my promise. This is the emperor's admonition."

"Huh" the Grand Master exhaled slightly.

At this time, Ning Guang also said: "Grand Master, casting a work that will be handed down for generations requires extraordinary energy. All the masters are already old. To avoid the recurrence of what happened to Master Zhang, let Master Zhang take the lead. He is in the prime of his life." In the prime of life.”

The implication is that although the people here are highly skilled, they are still young. If we were to lead this casting, we might lose the people first before the things are completed.

The grand master didn't reply. He looked at the masters around him and then at the picture scroll from the immortal in Wang Dao's hand. Finally, he thought about it and nodded slowly: "Forget it, it's rare to be able to participate in such a thing. , You really shouldn’t be greedy.”

The Grand Master has given up his dominance,

First, Wang Daoyi used the emperor's words to ensure that he would not go back on his verbal agreement.

Second, the masters of the secret library are indeed old and unable to assume the leadership. As for the Grand Master himself, although he has the eyes of God and looks very energetic, he is much older than he looks, and he is also unable to assume the leadership. Right.

Third, there may be a shadow of an immortal behind Wang Daoyi, so it is best not to offend him.

However, the Grand Master immediately made his request: "However, we don't have to take the initiative, but on the day of casting, I want half of the observation seats in the secret library."

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment and looked at Ning Guang with some confusion.

Ning Guang nodded towards him and blinked.

After receiving Ningguang's look, Wang Daoyi nodded and agreed to the Grand Master's request, although he didn't understand what the observation seat was.

With Wang Daoyi's agreement, the Grand Master waved his hand with satisfaction: "In that case, you can leave. The next step is our secret library's own business."

He will have to coordinate these masters later, divide the observation seats, and then send people to negotiate with Hanfeng Ironware about material issues.

Without further interruption, Wang Daoyi followed Ningguang and left the workshop.

After staying away from the sight of the Grand Master and others, Wang Daoyi asked: "What does the observation seat that the Grand Master mentioned just now mean?"

"How many places do you think there are in Liyue that can be used to cast ancient magic weapons?" Ning Guang asked.

Wang Dao glanced at him and said: "·······"

This was really something he hadn't considered. He found the caster, found the drawings, and solved the problem of materials, but he forgot about the casting location.

Seeing that Wang Daoyi didn't answer, Ningguang continued: "There is only one place, the cave where the Explosive Flame Tree is located. Only that place filled with fire elements has the environment to complete the casting of handed down magic weapons. In other places, even the cold... Even if the ground fire of the sharp iron weapon is exhausted, it will not succeed."

Then he showed a smile: "Speaking of which, this is the experience summed up by the Hanfeng Iron Zhang family. According to the records of the General Affairs Department, hundreds of years ago, when they first tried to cast weapons passed down from generation to generation, the underground fire was extinguished for an entire day. It took years to recover.”

He suppressed his smile and continued to answer Wang Daoyi: "Although the Qianyan Army is stationed where the Explosive Flame Tree is, there must be a lot of movement when casting the handed down magic weapon. In order to ensure that no one would disturb them, the Zhang family proposed before About the observation seat."

"Qualified forces will receive invitations to observe the forging of handed down magic weapons. As a condition, they must send out manpower to completely clean up the area, guard it during the casting process, and also provide some valuable materials."

Wang Daoyi frowned. He didn't want others to see the birth of his magic weapon: "With my strength, do I still need their protection?"

"Oh, when a person is unwilling to share, others will be jealous. Many times, some people are not good at doing good things, but they are still good at doing bad things."

"Even if you are powerful, casting a magical weapon passed down from generation to generation will definitely not be a short-term thing. You can stay on guard for one day or three days. Can you stay on guard for ten days and a half month? As long as you are affected even a little bit, you will be able to survive." It will cause irreparable consequences to the magic weapon."

"So, giving them seats is not only to give benefits, but also to prevent them from causing trouble."

Wang Daoyi was a little unhappy. He didn't like the feeling of being threatened: "Does it mean that if they take the seats, they won't cause trouble?"

Ning Guang glanced at Wang Daoyi strangely: "Where do you think Liyue is? This is a country of contracts. If you make a contract, you will naturally have the means to guarantee it."

Wang Dao curled his lips. Anyway, he didn't like his magic weapon to be watched being born. However, there was no other way. After all, even if he entered the posture of a god, he would not be able to guard it for ten days and a half without slacking off. .

You can ask the immortals to help, but it may also attract more immortal seekers.

"That's it, it's best not to have any accidents." Wang Daoyi warned.

Then I silently told myself in my heart: "I still need to become stronger. I hope that my next trip to Xumi will be fruitful."

Three days passed in a flash.

After reaching an agreement with the secret bank, Wang Daoyi returned to the ordinary life of the teahouse-Wanmin Hall-Pangsheng Hall-Yunhan Society-three bowls but not the port-teahouse.

In a place where Wang Daoyi could not see, the secret warehouse was in frequent contact with Hanfeng Iron. All kinds of precious materials were transported to the place where the Explosive Flame Tree was located. The top forces in Liyue frequently deployed force. The Explosive Flame Tree was located within a few miles. Monsters and even living creatures suffered devastating blows.

General Qianyan Army took action and directly removed the Explosive Flame Tree that had been raised for several years. The reclusive alchemist family came out in full force and carved numerous runes into the Flame Cave.

For the sake of a seat at the birth of a five-star magic weapon, these forces were easily mobilized by Ning Guang.

Sitting in the tall building of Yuehai Pavilion, Ning Guang had a smile in her eyes. This time, her gains were unimaginable.

This is not a gain in wealth, but her power over Liyue has been infinitely amplified. Some forces that were originally disobedient are now obediently obeying her arrangements.

Although this kind of authority is not permanent, Ningguang has seen the opportunity and developed many "own people" among these forces.

While these things were happening, Ying also completed the exploration of the ruins with Zhongli.

After visiting Guyun Pavilion with Zhongli, Ying took Paimeng back to Wanmin Hall.

Ying was a little tired, but Paimon was very energetic. In other words, she was particularly energetic as soon as she arrived at Wanmin Hall.

Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling are handling the ingredients. Some things need to be cleaned and placed, and some things need to be cut and prepared in advance.

Seeing Ying and Paimon coming back, Wang Dao waved as a greeting.

Paimon flew to Wang Dao, grabbed his hair, and shouted excitedly: "Dao Yi, you have no idea what we encountered on this adventure."

He pinched Paimon's little face with the hand he had just finished chopping onions, and then lifted her off his head: "Wow, Paimon encountered something, tell me quickly."

Ying on the side looked at Wang Daoyi's exaggerated look and immediately understood that this guy must have known what happened in the ruins for a long time.

Paimon, however, enjoyed Wang Daoyi's praise very much: "We are exploring the Demon God of Salt, Heu... who is he?"

Paimon, who suddenly forgot his words, looked at Ying.

"The Demon God of Salt, Heulia." Wang Daoyi reminded.

"Yes, Heulia! Dao Yi, we met the remains of Heulia and the artifact that can make salt." Paimon's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, and then suddenly realized the voice that reminded her just now. It doesn't seem to be Ying.

The excited little expression suddenly stopped, and Paimeng looked at Wang Daoyi with a very sad look: "Daoyi, you won't tell me that you already knew about the Salt Demon God, right?"

Paimon was a little desperate. Although she had known Wang Daoyi for a long time, Paimon, a little guy who loved to show off, rarely had anything to show off to Wang Daoyi. This adventure was originally something she valued very much and wanted to show off to Wang Daoyi. things.

"Heulia, the Demon God of Salt, is a very benevolent Demon God. When Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was attacked before, someone stole his power, so I have some understanding of it."

Wang Dao touched Paimon's little head and comforted him.

Paimon raised his head: "Really?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to little Paimon's adventure story!" In the end, Wang Daoyi still couldn't bear to attack Paimon's desire to show off.

Xiangling also came over, wearing an apron, and comforted Paimon: "I also want to know the adventure story of Paimon and Ying."

Paimeng's big eyes were misty, and he didn't know whether he was moved or caused by Wang Daoyi's onion hand.

After Paimon wiped away his tears, he became lively again and told Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling about the adventure.

Zhongli instructed them to unlock the seal and asked the fools to make a contract with another Salt God believer.

After entering the ruins, the fools rushed to get the first artifact left by the Salt God.

Later, because he was greedy for the second artifact, he violated the contract and was punished by Zhongli.

Another believer of the Salt God broke the contract and ran away in the end because he couldn't stand the truth of history.

Having said this, Paimeng said in a very shocked tone: "Dao Yi, do you know that the God of Salt was actually killed by his own people? It is really unbelievable that a demon god was actually killed by his own followers. died."

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "The God of Salt, Heulia, is too weak. He loves his people deeply. For them, he gave in step by step in the demon war. In the end, his people pierced the god's body with a sword, but he still did not resist."

He raised his head and looked at Ying: "Ying, do you still remember the Wind Dragon Ruins we once visited?"

Ying nodded, not knowing why Wang Daoyi suddenly mentioned it.

"The true identity of the Wind Dragon Ruins is the old Mondstadt. The high tower where Tvarin lived is the seat of the old demon god Gale Wind at the highest point."

Wang Daoyi first introduced, and then continued to ask, "Do you know how the Demon God of Gale fell?"

Paimon's eyes lit up: "I know, the singer said that it was the people of Old Mondstadt who overturned the throne and defeated the devil for the sake of freedom."

"Yes, the people of Old Mondstadt defeated the Demon God." Nodding, Wang Dao showed an incomprehensible expression and looked at Ying, "But how could a group of people who were protected by the Demon God have the ability to defeat the Demon God who protected them? "

Paimon scratched his head: "Did Barbatos help them?"

"At that time, the current God of Wind was just a wisp of wind, and did not have the power he has today."

"He doesn't feel like he has any divine power now," Paimon complained.

Ying frowned and hesitated: "Because the Gale Demon God didn't resist?"

"No, no, the singer said that his friend died in the confrontation with the devil." Paimon denied.

He ignored Paimon's denial and gave no approval to Ying's guess.

Wang Daoyi looked at Ying: "Ying, the devil always loves people, but people may not accept the love of the devil! Your journey is still long, please appreciate the world. The meaning of the journey itself is more about the things on the road. landscape."

Ying thought deeply, this was not the first time she had heard such words.

Wendy tells her that poets, fools, and queens are all part of the journey.

Zhongli asked her to remember everything.

Now, Wang Daoyi also allows her to appreciate the world and record the scenery on her journey.

[The devil always loves people, but people may not accept the love of the devil! ? 】

[So, what do you all know? 】

[Also, brother, what is the end of the journey? 】

Ying was confused.

After a long while, he raised his head and didn't ask anything. Instead, he nodded to Wang Dao: "I will. At the end, I will understand everything."

Paimeng and Xiangling looked at the two people who were confused and couldn't figure out what they were talking about.

After receiving Ying's response, Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded: "So, when will you start the next journey?"

"It's confirmed. Sister Beidou will set off in two days, and I will go to Inazuma together."

"Ah." Xiang Ling showed a pityful look, "I still want you to attend my birthday party."

Xiangling's birthday is November 2nd, exactly three days later, just after Ying's departure.

Ying also showed a look of pity.

Xiangling quickly calmed down and comforted Ying: "It's okay. There are still many birthdays. If you miss the trip, they will be gone. So, go out with confidence. Don't miss my birthday next year."

Ying nodded solemnly.

She has recorded the anchor point of Liyue. Next year, no matter where she is, she can rush back to attend Xiangling's birthday.

At this time, Paimon suddenly reacted: "Dao Yi, I don't think I told you that the Salt Demon God was killed with a sword!!!"

Only then did the little guy realize that he had been deceived by Wang Daoyi again.

The angry little guy stomped his feet in the air and hit Wang Daoyi with a headbutt on his stomach.

Wang Daoyi was knocked to the ground and was pressed down and beaten by Paimeng.

Beside them, Ying and Xiang Ling looked at their mischief and smiled.
