Explorer of Teyvat

I chatted with Zhongli for a long time at Yunhan Club.

After the song ended, Yun Jin took off her costume and came to the guest table.

"Mr. Zhongli is well, Dao Yi. I haven't been here for a long time. I usually only see Mr. Zhongli in this position."

Yun Jin looked at Wang Daoyi with slightly pink eyes, a little curious in her eyes.

Wang Daoyi cupped his hands at Yun Jin and said, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Yun. He is busy with worldly affairs and has no interest in listening to the opera. He has some free time these days, so he came here."

Wang Daoyi and Yun Jin are actually old acquaintances. They spent the Hai Lantern Festival together, and Yun Jin and Xiang Ling also have a good relationship.

Moreover, Wang Daoyi and Zhong Li came to the theater a long time ago.

But in the past six months, there was only Zhongli in this position occupied by Wang Daoyi. Yun Jin had to wonder, had her skills deteriorated? None of the old customers are coming?

"Haha, that's good, that's good. There will be a new show tomorrow. Don't forget to watch it."

Yun Jin said with a smile, then gave the two of them more tea, and waited until someone called from the backstage before leaving.

After Yun Jin left,

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "I originally planned to go back to the desert tomorrow, but now it seems that I can't live without listening to this drama."

"It's not a bad thing if Mr. Tingyun's play takes a little time." Zhongli returned to his calm demeanor, as if he wasn't the one who showed murderous intent just now.

"The emperor has an appointment tonight, how about going to Wanmin Hall for dinner?" Wang Daoyi invited.

Zhongli nodded: "Okay."

He is always so cheerful when he agrees to eat.

He really made me cry to death.

I stayed at Yunhanshe until it got dark,

After the closing thank you ceremony,

Wang Daoyi and Zhong Li just left the theater club.

The two of them were walking on the street, as if they were back to the time when they had just met.

"Let's go, Mr. Zhongli, let's go have dinner." Wang Dao extended his hand to lead him, as if he was receiving an honored guest.

Zhong Li smiled and then said: "Ha, if the young master walks out from the side at this time, it will be more appropriate for the occasion."

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "You are thinking too much. The Bank of Beiguo was destroyed by Qixing. The young master will never come to Liyue to treat you to dinner again."

"What a pity." Zhongli sighed, but he didn't know whether he was lamenting the collapse of Beiguo Bank or lamenting that the young master would not invite him to dinner.

The two of them walked towards Wanmin Hall, talking and laughing.

on the way,

A fiery figure emerged from the path.

"Zhongli, we agreed to go to promote business today. Where are you?"

Hall Master Hu looked angrily at his biggest employee, and he was already angry inside.

With such employees, how can we run the Shengshengtang well and develop the business of the Shengshengtang?

Zhongli didn't look embarrassed at all when he was caught fishing.

He gestured to Wang Daoyi beside him: "Master, don't be anxious. I met Daoyi today and chatted for a while. How about we go to promote business tomorrow."

Hutao then noticed Wang Daoyi standing next to Zhongli: "Oh, it turns out to be Brother Daoyi. Brother Daoyi has not been seen for a long time. I miss him so much."

"You're welcome, Hall Master Hu. I have been away from home for a long time. I came to visit Mr. Zhongli when I returned home recently. If I have disturbed you in any way, please forgive me, Hall Master Hu." Wang Daoyi smiled and covered Zhongli.

With outsiders around, Hu Tao naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Zhongli. He waved his hand grandly: "That's all. Since it's a date with friends, I have to go. I'll spare you today, Zhongli."

Zhongli raised his hands to Hu Taogong and said, "Thank you very much, Hall Master Hu Haihan."

"We are going to Wanmin Hall for dinner. Do you want Hall Master Hu to come too?"

"No, no, I scared Xiangling last month, and Guoba probably hasn't forgotten it yet. If I go over now, Guoba will bite me." Hutao looked frightened, and then waved his hands to the two of them, "I still have something to do. ,Goodbye."

After saying that, Hall Master Hu left in a hurry.

"Is the Palace of Purity so busy?" Wang Daoyi looked at Zhongli curiously.

Zhong Li shook his head: "The hall master must be investigating something. You know, I have never been able to deal with the hall master."

Wang Dao twitched the corner of his mouth,

You can't deal with Hutao, so you still fish every day?

Wang Daoyi only half-believed Zhongli's words that he couldn't handle Hutao.

Chatting and laughing, the two came to Wanmin Hall.

"Xiang Ling, I'll treat Mr. Zhongli to dinner tonight." Wang Daoyi called to the kitchen.

Xiang Ling's little head popped out of the kitchen: "Okay, sit down and I'll prepare it for you."

He led Zhongli to the guest table in the corner. The two sat down and continued chatting about some topics that ordinary people could not understand.

What kind of elemental creation, what kind of hand-rubbed magic weapon, and so on.

After a while,

Xiangling came up with the dishes.

"Brother Daoyi said he was going out at noon, so I knew he was going to visit Mr. Zhongli, so I prepared delicious dishes early in the morning and was waiting for you to come."

Having been with Wang Daoyi for so long, Xiang Ling also became familiar with Wang Daoyi's circle of friends in Liyue.

There are only a few people who can play together.

Xingqiu and Chongyun had just separated, and the only one he could see when he went out was Zhongli.

Now that he's meeting Zhongli, as usual, it's time to treat him to a meal.

So Xiangling had already prepared good wine and food, waiting for people to come over.

I have to say that there is always a tacit understanding between husband and wife.

"Chef Xiangling's skills are getting better and better. You can't get this kind of delicacies anywhere else."

Zhongli was not polite at all, he picked up the chopsticks and started using them.

While tasting it, I also praised Xiangling.

Xiang Ling smiled happily: "As long as you like it, if there is anything that can be improved, you can also tell us more."

Zhong Li shook his head: "The fresh fragrance and color are all of the highest quality. Even I can't find fault with them."

"Did you hear that? You have received Mr. Zhongli's approval." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

A long time ago, after Zhongli found many faults with Xiangling's dishes, Xiangling took Zhongli as his target.

However, even though she is one of the best chefs in Liyue, she often loses in front of Zhongli.

Zhongli's experience is too rich.

Until today, Zhongli finally recognized Xiangling's craftsmanship.

Hearing this, Xiang Ling's little face burst into a smile again.

"Hey, you eat, I will continue to serve you food."

The little cook smiled and walked towards the kitchen, her steps a little lighter.

"When are you and Xiangling going to do things?"

"Xiang Ling has agreed to become my dependent. Let's wait until the environment in the desert becomes better."

"When the time comes, I'll come to celebrate your birthday."

"It's what I asked for."

The two of them ate and talked about the little things in life.

After having enough wine and food,

Wang Daoyi bid farewell to Zhongli.

Xiangling stood behind Wang Daoyi and looked at the young man expectantly: "Brother Daoyi, what I just said"

Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded: "Well, when the environment in the desert gets better, we will get married."

The girl hugged the boy, her eyes full of joy.

Guoba: I’m full.

——

After staying in Liyue for many days,

Finally, she reluctantly left Xiangling's boudoir.

Wang Daoyi came to the Assistant Academy and found Abatuyi.

"Let's go back to Xumi."

Abatuyi was full of expectations and waved to the mechanical crab beside him: "Kakata, we can go home."

Kakata: "Ka~"

The mechanical crab didn't understand what it meant to go home, but it could sense that its owner was extremely excited. It walked aside and made Abatuyi a cup of coffee.

Then he paused slightly, as if he was thinking, and went to make Wang Daoyi another drink.

"Thank you, Kakata." Wang Daoyi took the coffee handed over by the mechanical crab, and then looked at Abatui, "Ha, Kakata's intelligence seems to have improved a lot?"

"With the support of Seven Stars and sufficient resources, I analyzed some of the technologies of the Fools and upgraded Kakata's intelligent modules." Abatuyi replied.

Qixing's support for Abatuyi is absolutely great. The weapons developed by Abatuyi several times made Qixing very interested in this Xumi scholar.

However, there is no other way now. Wang Daoyi has to take Abatui to Sumeru. I hope Qixing won't mind.

"It seems that your skills have become stronger. It just so happens that Xumi needs your help for many things now."

Waving his hand to open the earth channel, Wang Dao snapped his fingers, and the elemental shield enveloped Abatui and Kakata.

He looked at Kakata's mechanical body again.

With a thought from Wang Dao, golden chains spread out from the void and tied up Kakata.

"Let's go."

Xumi City

Abatuyi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scene,

Another sparkle slipped from the corner of his eyes,

If there is no other way, who would be willing to leave their hometown?

After running away for two years, I finally came back.

"Crack~"

Kakata looked at the excited owner and wanted to make him a cup of coffee, but found that there was no coffee here.

There are quite a few Sumeru people coming and going.

Many people looked at Kakata with fear in their eyes.

The appearance of relic machinery in Xumi City is not a good thing.

Soon, a group of thirty mercenaries ran over.

When they saw Kakata, they immediately drew their weapons;

However, Wang Daoyi was soon discovered standing next to Kakata.

"I pay my highest respects to you, the great king of the desert, the lord of the red sand."

The thirty-man group obviously knew Wang Daoyi, so they immediately put away their weapons and bowed slightly to Wang Daoyi.

"Excuse me, you and this relic machine"

Perhaps it was Nasida who had reorganized the Order Academy, but even when facing Wang Daoyi, the thirty-man group still cautiously asked.

Wang Daoyi naturally would not embarrass a few young mercenaries.

He waved his hand and pointed at Abatui: "It doesn't matter. This relic machine is the research subject of this scholar."

Abatuyi took a step forward: "I am scholar Abatuyi. I came back this time to re-register as a scholar."

"Abatui." The captain of the thirty-man regiment frowned slightly, and then his eyes lit up, "I remembered that you are the scholar who studies mechanical life. Ha, I saw your wanted poster before."

As he said that, the mercenary captain suppressed his smile: "Scholar Abatui, although your wanted order has been revoked, you'd better register a dangerous object like the relic machine as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily cause panic."

Abatuyi nodded: "Okay, please, I'll go to the Ordinary Academy to register."

The mercenary captain nodded to Abatuyi, then looked at Wang Daoyi: "Then I won't disturb you."

After that, he took the people away.

Seeing that the thirty-man group did not take action, the people around them probably understood that this mechanical crab was a research object for scholars.

So everything went back to normal, and everyone was busy with their own things.

"Xumi City has really changed a lot." Abatui sighed,

If this had been done before, the thirty-man group would have arrested him directly.

Researching mechanical life and bringing relic machinery to Xumi City, I will serve you in jail for a few days.

How could someone remind him to register at the Ordinary Academy in such a nice voice?

"If there is no change at all, then Nasida and I have been busy in vain." Wang Daoyi chuckled, and then took steps, "Let's go, do you want me to take you to the Teaching Academy?"

"Are you still busy? If you are busy, I can go by myself. I also want to visit my former teachers and classmates." Abatuyi said.

Wang Dao nodded: "Then you can go alone."

With a flick of his finger, a little golden light fell on Abatuyi: "I'll come back to you when I'm done. I need your help with a big job."

After saying that, Wang Daoyi disappeared, leaving Abatui alone.

After standing for a while, Abatui waved to Kakata: "Kakata, let's go, let's go to the Order and visit our former friends."

Kakata: Ka~

the other side,

After Wang Daoyi left Abatui's side, he went directly to Jingshan Palace.

In the Jingshan Palace, which is almost as empty as the Red Sand Temple,

The little god curled up in the Tree King's meditation room, with a sweet smile on his lips.

Although the sleeping position is still so distressing,

But his dreams got better and better.

Sensing someone entering His territory,

Nacida's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Dao Yi, you're here."

The Tree King's meditation room slowly opened, and Nasida walked out of it.

"Well, something happened and I need to discuss it with you."

Wang Dao nodded,

Then he told Nacida about hearing the mournful cry of Apep, the grass dragon, during the adventure in the desert.

Nacida frowned when she heard Apep's empty cry.

"According to your and my memories, the disappearance of the Great Ci Tree King took away all the forbidden knowledge, so Apep should have recovered as well." Nasida thought, having the same puzzlement as Wang Daoyi.

"This is my guess. Just like the people who had the magic scale disease before, even if the magic scale disease dissipates, it cannot change the fact that they were sick in the past. So they recovered from the disease, but their bodies still need time to recover."

"And Apep's condition is obviously more serious than Demon Scale, and taboo pollution has a stronger impact on it than normal pain."

"Now the taboo pollution has dissipated, but the damage caused by the previous taboo pollution still exists in Apep's body."

"That's why Apep's existence has a certain concept of emptiness, and that's why he screams so emptyly."

Wang Daoyi told Nasida his guess.

Nasida nodded sometimes and shook her head.

"Please wait, I will check the false memory covered by the World Tree first to see if there is any information."

Nacida closed her eyes and began to search for the false memories that the World Tree had covered in her memory.

After a while,

Nacida then opened her eyes,

She looked at Wang Daoyi: "About the Dragon of Grass, World Tree didn't cover much information for me, but there is one thing that may be related to him."

With that said, Nasida walked to the side of Jingshan Palace, seemingly looking for something.

After a while, she came back holding a green crystal-like object.

"I don't have many traces of this thing in my memory, but it appeared in Jingshan Palace. You can see that the elemental power in it is very similar to mine, but it is different."

Wang Dao thought: "That may be what King Daci Shu left behind."

Nasida nodded: "Yes, without the memory you shared, I might have thought it was what I had left behind, but now it seems that it was left by King Daci Shu."

"Is this thing related to Apep?" Wang Daoyi asked with a frown.

Nasida: "Although all my memories of the Great Merciful Tree King come from your sharing, as the previous God of Wisdom, He must have considered the situation after the forbidden knowledge disappears."

"After you told me about Apep, this thing emerged in the memory given by World Tree. Then, in the operating logic of World Tree, I am the first generation God of Grass, and the memory that emerged is It must be a back-up left behind by [me]."

"So, this thing should be the key item to help or destroy Apep, the Dragon of Grass."

Nasida said to Wang Daoyi calmly.

After knowing that there was something wrong with her memory, Nasida worked hard to distinguish what memories were real and what memories were covered by the World Tree.

After making the distinction, he began to use the memories covered by the World Tree to verify some things.

All we can say is that He is now the true God of Wisdom.

"May I see it?"

Wang Daoyi looked at the thing in Nasida's hand and said.

Naturally, Naxida would not refuse and handed the things in her hand to Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi reached out and took it.

There are green crystals with branches and leaves emerging from them, and there is a ray of gold in the center of the crystal.

"Very pure elemental power."

"Heal, cleanse, revive."

"Taste of life"

Feel the taste inside the green crystal.

Wang Daoyi slowly said: "It seems that King Daci Shu's plan is to save Apep. This is a fire seed."

"Fire?" Nasida was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood, "I know, the Great Ci Tree King expected that I would delete him, and also anticipated the problems that would arise after he disappeared, so he left this fire. , used to save Apep who has become [empty].”

"But how to use this thing?"

Nacida was a little confused.

Wang Daoyi suddenly turned around and looked at the gate of Jingshan Palace: "Ha, I think I will know how to use it soon."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The door of Jingshan Palace was pushed open,

"Nacida, Nacida, we have something to ask you for help with."

Paimon's lively voice came from the front door.

"Hey, Daoyi, you are here too."

Flying in like a storm, Paimon saw Wang Daoyi standing with Nasida.
