Explorer of Teyvat

"Are you coming with us?"

Abedo was a little surprised when he heard Wang Daoyi's words.

After all, when Wang Dao mentioned Fengdan before, he always showed no interest.

Why do I suddenly want to go together again now?

"Well, after hearing what you said about Fontaine Academy of Sciences, I think Fontaine is worth a visit." Wang Daoyi said with a smile on his lips.

Poaching is unethical, but it is fun.

Moreover, as Fontaine is so big, there will always be unsatisfactory scientific researchers.

Not too many, just bring dozens of them back to Chisha and use them as seeds. As long as their knowledge is useful, desert people will soon learn from them. Wang Daoyi has no doubt about this.

In fact, at the very beginning, the people of the desert and the Ecclesiastical Order were in a state of opposition.

Except for some far-sighted tribes, most tribes are resistant to novel knowledge.

But later, under the influence of Wang Daoyi, the desert people's desire for knowledge has become stronger and stronger.

In particular, the rise of the professional class of alchemists has made the desert people understand that every new piece of knowledge represents a new social structure, new wealth, and new status.

So Wang Daoyi no longer worries about his people not liking to study.

Abedo's expression froze: "You want to poach people from Fontaine Academy of Sciences?"

"Can't you?" Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

Abedo frowned slightly: "But I heard that the technologies of Fontaine Academy of Sciences are all based on Fontaine's unique energy. What's the use of poaching them?"

"Energy research is just a project. Fontaine's mechanical research and environmental research are very advanced. I have seen Fontaine's security robots. In a sense, they are no less inferior to the energy machinery of the Red King civilization."

"Those machines do not necessarily need Fontaine's unique energy. As long as you know the manufacturing technology, it is not difficult to replace the energy core."

Wang Daoyi fell in love with Fontaine's mechanical researcher.

As for researchers of Shiji Mine and other Fontaine-specific energy sources, Wang Daoyi is not prepared to recruit them.

Chisha's energy technology is already good enough, so there is no need to add another category.

Moreover... although Fontaine's energy technology is powerful, it is really unsafe.

Wang Daoyi didn't want the Shiji Mine to explode on his own territory.

"If you do this... you will offend the Water God." Abedo was a little worried.

He really regarded Wang Daoyi as a friend.

Although he knew that Wang Daoyi was very powerful, he was also worried that he had offended someone more powerful.

Wang Daoyi looked strange: "God of Water... I'll give her some desserts later, she probably won't care."

He still didn't tell Abedo that something was wrong with the God of Water.

After all, this is a god-level secret, and there is no benefit in telling others casually.

"Is that so?" Abedo glanced at Wang Daoyi strangely, feeling that the other person might not be telling the truth, but he didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Okay then."

"By the way, when you come back from Fontaine, come to Chisha. There is a big project waiting for you to join."

Wang Daoyi thought about the underground base again.

"Big project?"

"Well, a very big project, bigger than any we have done before."

Abedo’s eyes are bright,

You know, the projects he worked on together with Wang Daoyi were not small.

Except for the elemental shield generating device when the two first met,

The following projects are each stronger than the last.

Construct Wang Daoyi’s original divine body,

Build a Void·Red Sand host that covers the desert.

Elemental sublimation projects involving the secrets of gods,

A desert reservoir project based on the remains of the devil,

Every one of them was an achievement that shocked the seven countries.

Now Wang Daoyi actually said that he has a bigger project, which undoubtedly aroused Abedo's curiosity.

"But the project has not started yet. We are still building the base. It should be almost done by the time you come back from Fontaine."

Wang Daoyi didn't know how long Abedo would stay in Fontaine, but there was no doubt that when he came back, Wang Daoyi would not let him go back to Mondstadt.

Such a hardworking...technician must arrange the work well and get it running.

"That's it, okay, let's talk about it then."

Abedo put away the drawing board in his hand.

It is normal for an alchemist master to store equipment.

"Let's go, don't keep Ying waiting too long."

…

On the shore of the desert and Luofan coast,

Paimon floated on a big rock in boredom.

Looking ahead blankly,

Not far in front of her,

Ying holds a bladeless sword, and the power of multiple elements surges from her body.

The powerful aura spreads, enough to make most monsters collapse.

Opposite Ying, a four-legged turtle glanced at her and continued to eat the fruits and vegetables in front of her without any care.

After Wang Daoyi left, Ying and Paimon were bored waiting.

It happened that the two of them hadn't eaten either, so they set up a stove on the spot and prepared to cook something to eat.

As a result, just as Yingying took out the fruits and vegetables for cooking, a hawksbill turtle crawled over from the seaside.

At first, Ying thought she was just passing by, but she didn't expect that they were coming for her.

Relying on its thick tortoise shell, the turtle climbed to Ying's stove without any politeness.

He took a bite of Ying's ingredients more unceremoniously.

Naturally, Ying would not let the turtle eat its own food.

Picking up the edgeless sword and preparing to drive away the turtle,

The result was very unsatisfactory. An attack that could kill a super monster had no impact at all in front of this turtle.

When the turtle attacks, the turtle shrinks its head and hides in its thick shell.

If Ying doesn't attack, it will stick its head out and steal the food.

So much so that when Wang Daoyi and Abedo came out of the earth channel, Ying was still confronting the turtle.

"Daoyi, you're back." Paimeng's eyes lit up, he flew to Wang Daoyi's side, and said in a very aggrieved voice, "Help me, this guy is so hateful, he steals our food."

Wang Dao looked at the turtle with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"What a turtle."

This kind of creature can be regarded as a strange thing on the continent of Teyvat.

Hawksbill turtles are the descendants of an ancient giant beast. They inherit the blood of their ancestors.

Although they no longer have a mountain-like body shape, their superior defense still allows them to thrive in this land.

As long as you don't get close to it, it has no attack power.

But its defensive power is also terrifying.

According to current academic research, this creature has only one way of attacking, which is to retract its head into its shell and then spin rapidly.

It looks funny.

But the power is definitely not small,

The sturdy shell of the hawksbill turtle turns into a super cutting machine when rotated at high speed.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that they are not easy to mess with, and basically no predators will take advantage of them.

If it weren't for the hawksbill turtle's difficulty in reproducing, this creature would be able to dominate all the waters of Teyvat.

He stretched out his hand and a golden chain appeared, tying up the turtle who was confronting Ying.

The chains were tightened, and the chains, which were enough to leave marks on Apep's dragon scales, could not shake the shell of this hawksbill turtle.

This shows how outrageous its defense is.

However, although the chain cannot shake the turtle's shell, the turtle cannot withstand the pull of the chain.

It was lifted up.

The tortoise turtle was tied up, and the chains gradually retracted to Wang Daoyi's side.

Ying also put away the edgeless sword in her hand and looked at the wasted food on the ground with some pity.

"This guy eats my ingredients as soon as he comes. It's so abominable." Ying gritted his teeth.

Wang Daoyi smiled: "This turtle lives here, and its food is probably some sea fish. If you bring novel food, it will naturally be curious."

The hawksbill turtle is a very gentle animal and generally does not attack humans.

Unless you have something that piques its curiosity.

The vegetables and fruits brought by Ying had a completely different smell from the sea fish, so this hawksbill turtle was interested.

"Moo~"

The turtle, which was bound by golden chains, stretched out its head, looked at Wang Daoyi, and barked like an old cow.

Wang Daoyi could clearly understand that the turtle was asking him why he wanted to trap it.

"You ate other people's food. This is not what a good boy should do." Wang Dao pointed at the mess on the ground and then at the angry Ying.

Hawksbill turtles are extremely long-lived. Judging from the size of this turtle, this turtle is probably one or two hundred years old, but to the hawksbill turtle, it is still a child.

The turtle's big head was tilted. Normally, it wouldn't be able to understand what humans were saying.

But Wang Daoyi not only spoke, but also conveyed the meaning of his words directly into its mind.

So, it understood.

In the turtle's understanding, it seems to be stealing other people's food.

In the clan, at this time, one has to either fight, or leave the price and then retreat.

It looked at Ying to confirm that it was not afraid of her, and then looked at Wang Daoyi. Well, it seems that it can't beat this one.

Then the turtle mooed twice more.

Wang Dao nodded, then looked at Ying: "It is willing to compensate, do you accept it?"

Ying's eyes widened: "Can you communicate with it?"

Paimon also looked incredible.

Only Abedo didn't pay attention to Wang Daoyi's words at all. He was standing next to the turtle, studying the turtle's shell.

It fits the character of a master alchemist very well.

"The turtle is very spiritual and has a gentle temperament. It is not difficult to communicate with him." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

After his soul became deified, he could communicate with Guo Ba.

Now that he is on the throne of God, there is no problem in communicating with the turtle.

Not only Wang Daoyi, but also Nasida can do this.

As for other gods, they are probably also possible.

"Compensation... okay, let me see what kind of compensation it can give." Ying finally agreed to accept the compensation.

After all, the ingredients had been destroyed, and her ordinary methods couldn't do anything to the turtle.

As for turning it all the way up, that's not necessary. Things haven't come to this yet.

"Okay, little guy, go get your apology."

As soon as Wang Dao thought, the golden chain was immediately released, and the turtle suspended in mid-air immediately fell down.

The thick tortoise shell touched the ground and made a large crater.

Obviously, its back armor is not only strong in defense, but its belly armor is also equally strong.

The turtle landed on the ground, stood on all fours, and nodded its big head towards Ying.

"You want me to follow you?" Ying seemed to understand what the other party meant.

The turtle nodded again, then turned and left,

However, compared to its defense, its speed is really unflattering.

too slow,

Even though it seemed to be moving at full strength, it was only as fast as a child walking.

Fortunately, the place it takes you to is not far away, just on the coast next to it.

No wonder it was attracted to Ying's food, it was so close.

A pile of rubble... lair.

Probably only creatures with strong defenses like the hawksbill turtle like to sleep in this kind of rubble.

In fact, hawksbill turtles generally like to use these gravels to polish their ghost armor.

Although gravel cannot damage their tortoise shells, it can also have a scrub-like effect.

The turtle's big head fiddled with the rubble for a long time, and finally dug out a crystal clear gem under the rubble.

He bit into the gem and handed the thing to Ying.

"This is?" Ying scratched her head, she didn't recognize what it was.

Abedo came over and took a look: "It looks like a gem, but the material structure is more like some kind of ore."

Gemstones and ores are similar in the eyes of ordinary people, but there are big differences in the eyes of alchemists.

Gems have elemental properties and can be used in most alchemical rituals.

Most of the ores need to be forged before they can be used.

"It's Cui Ning Jing, a special ore from Fontaine. It can be used to make high-level weapons and is valuable." Wang Dao recognized this ore at a glance.

This kind of ore is included in the precious material purchase list given by Nicoreid.

Condensed crystals only appear in the Fontaine area, including the strait near Fontaine.

It is normal for the Hawksbill Turtle to have this kind of ore. After all, this place is close to the Fontaine Sea.

Ying held the ore in his hand: "Isn't this ore much more precious than my ingredients?"

Ore for forging high-end weapons and fruits and vegetables are everywhere in the stalls.

It's easy to tell which one is more important.

"The confirmation of value is not uniform. To the turtle, it is just a beautiful stone, but those ingredients are good things that it has never eaten."

Listening to Wang Daoyi's words, Ying nodded slightly: "In that case, I will accept it, but I can't let it suffer."

Ying flipped through the luggage and took out a lot of cabbage and sunflower seeds.

"Here, these are all given to you. If you want to eat other people's food in the future, don't steal it."

He pushed all the fruits and vegetables to the turtle lying in the rubble, and Ying gave him a lesson.

I don’t know if the turtle understood it, but it definitely understood that these things were for itself.

‘Moo! ~’

The hawksbill turtle roared happily, then dropped its big head into the pile of fruits and vegetables, and ate happily.

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly: "It is said that hawksbill turtles can be raised by people. However, this hawksbill turtle is obviously not that easy to bribe."

He saw Ying's consciousness,

Ying is telling the turtle that if he wants to eat next time, he can exchange it for ore.

But obviously, the turtle didn't understand at all.

Unless the meaning is imprinted into the turtle's mind like Wang Daoyi, it can understand people's words.

Ying nodded slightly, and there was no feeling of disappointment in his eyes.

A pile of cabbage in exchange for a precious ore, she had already made a profit.

"Do you want to continue observing?" Wang Daoyi looked at Albedo.

The other party has been observing the composition of the tortoise shell of the hawksbill turtle.

Abedo shook his head: "It's a magical turtle, but let's go to Fontaine first."

If it weren't for the more magical beauty in Fontaine, Albedo might have stayed here and lived with the turtles for a while.

"Okay, we summoned the wave boat, and the dry food is ready." Paimon and Ying showed off their reserves.

Abedo looked at Wang Daoyi: "Can't you just teleport there?"

"The scenery in Fontainebleau is good. If you use teleportation for everything, you will miss these beautiful scenery."

"That's it, okay, it just so happens that I also need to collect more painting materials."

Wang Daoyi talks to Abedo,

Ying was a little confused: "Why, does Dao Yi want to go too?"

"Well, I have something to go to, but I won't go with you."

He was there to poach people, so naturally he wouldn't go with Ying.

Even before the poaching was successful, he had to try his best to avoid Villette's sight.

Although I'm not afraid of him, it's really embarrassing to be caught doing poaching.

Several people walked to the anchor point of the wave boat while chatting.

[Water Boat] is a very magical water vehicle that can be summoned to the owner through the anchor point of the wave boat.

And a person can only own at most one wave boat.

Generally speaking, as a country of islands, Inazuma has the most wave boats.

Later, this technology gradually spread to other countries.

Ying has a wave boat, and Wang Daoyi and Abedo also have it. This is not a particularly precious thing.

The Adventurers Association has long popularized this thing.

Although not everyone has it, there is certainly no shortage of it for advanced adventurers.

Touch the anchor point of the wave boat,

Three small boats as tall as one person appeared in front of everyone.

The hull is similar to a awning boat, but shorter and thicker. A small cannon is installed on the bow, which has some attack capabilities. The space at the stern is used to store cargo.

If you look at it from the perspective of the past life, let alone a long voyage, this thing will not be open for a long time in the creek at the door.

But Teyvat has its own laws,

The seemingly ordinary wave boat really has the ability to sail long distances, as long as it does not encounter strong winds and waves.

Entering the wave boat,

The interior space is not small, and there is no problem in seating at least two or three people.

The control center of the wave ship is obviously an alchemy product.

Press the switch and the wave boat is started.

"Oh oh oh, let's go, Fontaine."

Paimon's cheerful voice came from the wave boat nearby,

Wang Daoyi operated the control system, and sure enough, the tarpaulins on both sides were put away.

And the scene beside the ship appeared in front of Wang Dao.

Ying's boat is in the middle, Albedo is on the left, Wang Daoyi is on the right,

Three boats were not far away.

The speed of the wave boat was not slow, but within a short time, they were far away from the coast of Luofu.

The quiet and beautiful sea level has become the main scenery in everyone's eyes.

There was a hint of novelty in Wang Dao's eyes.

To put it bluntly,

The last time he sailed normally like this was when he went to Xumi for the first time, and he took a warship of the General Affairs Department.

At other times, he mostly used earth vein channels.

It was convenient, but the scenery during the trip also left him.

Now this opportunity to cross the sea to Fontaine gave Wang Daoyi a good opportunity to re-recognize the journey.
