Explorer of Teyvat

Stayed for one night in Qingquan Town.

Ying and Paimon, who were going back to Mondstadt after delivering the letter, also stayed behind.

They are homeless and do not have regular jobs.

Under the temptation of the delicious food described by Xiang Ling, Paimon naturally asked Ying to stay and wait for the hunting team to return tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Xiang Ling waited at the entrance of Qingquan Town early. According to her wishes, the ingredients were not allowed to wait, and she had to get the long-awaited ingredients as soon as possible.

Of course, only Xiangling was waiting. Although Wang Daoyi had already gotten up, he did not come over. Instead, he was reading a book in the hotel.

Ever since Liyue came out, he had been on the road and encountered powerful enemies like King Qiuqiu Yangui. It had been almost a month since he had read a book properly.

Now that he was relatively stable and there was nothing to worry about, Wang Daoyi finally had time to take out the books in the package.

This time he only took a few books with him when he went out, just to pass the time while resting on the road.

Looking through the "Detailed Explanation of Mondstadt's Specialties" in his hand, Wang Daoyi enjoyed the rare peace of mind in the past few days.

Paimon and Ying, on the other hand, were still sleeping in.

The clear spring in the morning is calm and quiet.

The morning breeze blew slightly, and crystal clear dewdrops slid down the leaves, jumping happily.

The new sun shines on Xiangling's face, the dewdrops are sparkling on the lawn around her, and the cool breeze blows around her, sometimes carrying the fragrance of flowers.

Xiangling stretched out comfortably, "It's so beautiful!"

After a while, a team of more than a dozen people appeared at the end of the road.

"Ah, I'm finally back, Lin Pork, Lin Pork, delicious Lin Pork!"

Seeing the hunting team, Xiangling hummed happily in her strange tone.

But as the hunting team approached, Xiangling found something was wrong. There were not only prey but also many wounded people in the hunting team's truck.

"Did you get attacked?"

With the return of the hunting team, the originally quiet Qingquan Town became lively again.

Because the hunting team brought back not only prey, but also many wounded people, this made Qingquan Town even more noisy.

"How come so many people were injured?"

"Did poachers attack?"

"I seem to see a stranger in the hunting team!"

···············

The noisy sound outside the house interrupted Wang Daoyi's reading state. Just as he closed the book and was about to go out to see what was going on, he saw Xiang Ling pushing the door open and coming in.

"What happened? I heard some noise. Is the hunting team back?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Xiang Ling nodded, with a worried look on her face.

"Yes, the hunting team is back. They said they were attacked by monsters. Mr. Dulav issued a commission to Ying, hoping that Ying could help them eliminate the attacking monsters!"

Then he showed a strange expression, "I didn't expect that Ying is actually an honorary knight of the Knights of the West Wind. It's really amazing. Brother Dao Yi, did you know that Ying repelled the attacking dragon in Mondstadt before?"

Of course Wang Daoyi knew, he also knew a certain alcoholic poet, and he was probably also watching Ying now.

However, he didn't want to get involved in the matter of touching the fish and the wind god, so he showed an appropriately surprised expression.

"Really? That's really amazing. It seems that Ying is very powerful!"

Go out with Xiangling and arrive at Mr. Duraf's house, where a large number of residents have gathered.

Everyone gathered around Mr. Durav and a stranger.

"This... is Qingquan Town, right?" The stranger said with a skeptical tone.

Mr. Durav on the side looked helpless: "Yes, I have answered you so many times, this is Qingquan Town, but I don't know any of the people you mentioned!"

The stranger also looked anxious: "It's impossible, they are all my family and friends, and they all live in Qingquan Town."

"What's your name?" Mr. Durav was a little helpless, but he did have the blood characteristics of the Ketzlein family.

"My name is Olaf Ketzlein."

"Olav Ketzlein?" Mr. Durav exclaimed, his expression a little strange.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my name?" Olaf asked.

Durav shook his head, walked home, and took out a thick book.

"Although I don't remember your generation, your name is exactly the same as that of an ancestor of our family."

As he spoke, he opened the thick genealogy, searched for a while, and put his finger on it, "Look, Olaf Ketzlein was a member of the family three hundred years ago!"

"No, it can't be such a coincidence!" Little Paimon exclaimed.

Dulav closed the family tree, turned to ask the people in the hunting team: "Where did you find Mr. Olaf?"

The members of the hunting team recalled: "Just a few days ago, when we had completed our hunting goal, we heard someone calling for help, so we followed the cry for help and found a ruins. There was a huge magic tree in the ruins, which was the magic tree. The tree attacked us with countless ice crystals, and Mr. Olaf was the one calling for help in the ruins."

A giant magic tree?

Wang Dao nodded, it should be the ruins in Xiangling's invitation mission, and the huge magic tree is the delicious frozen tree.

"It's a frozen tree." Wang Daoyi said.

"Frozen tree?" Mr. Durav was a little surprised. "I know about this kind of monster, but isn't the Freezing Tree over there at the Thousand Winds Temple?"

In "Detailed Explanation of Mondstadt's Specialties", there is information about the frozen tree, which specifically describes the tree under the Thousand Winds Temple that has been kept captive by the Knights of the West Wind.

Wang Daoyi thought Mr. Durav's doubts were normal. Not to mention hunters like Durav, many adventurers probably didn't know much about the frozen tree.

"The frozen tree is a monster formed when the frost in the earth's veins condenses and adheres to the vines." Wang Daoyi explained to everyone, "Some scholars believe that plants are like the organs of the world, mediating the earth's veins where the elements are flowing; and this The crystallization of this ecology on the surface of the earth is the ice mist flower, the deceitful flower, and other plants full of elemental energy."

"But the ice mist flower is very different from the freezing tree!!" Little Paimon exclaimed.

"That's because the concentrations of earth elements are different, and certain plants growing in certain environments may, over time, turn into frozen trees, becoming as huge and ferocious life forms as monsters!"

Ying also sighed a little.

"Hey, could Mr. Olaf be a person from three hundred years ago who was frozen in ice?" Pamon suddenly thought.

Xiangling also made a sound of agreement. "Yes, yes, just like us chefs use ice to keep ingredients fresh, Olaf must also be a human being frozen by the frozen tree."

"This..." Durav was speechless. Was he saving an ancestor for himself?

"Anyway, it's too dangerous for a monster like the Frozen Tree to appear next to Qingquan Town. Over time, it might affect the reproduction of forest pigs in the surrounding areas." Mr. Durav had a worried expression on his face. "Knight of Honor, you must help us."

The disaster caused by the Wind Demon Dragon has had a great impact on Mondstadt. The Knights have not much left to use. Recently, Ying has accepted a large number of commissions, and this time, Mr. Durav also handed over the commission of monsters. fluorescent.
