Explorer of Teyvat

"Ah hahahaha, Your Majesty, Lord of Red Sand, what a coincidence that you are also traveling in the desert."

There was a feeling of being caught doing bad things. Ms. Alice smiled awkwardly and said,

Wang Daoyi:......

I also come to the desert for a trip, Ms. Alice, are you serious?

"This is a desert, and I am the Lord of Red Sand." Wang Daoyi said angrily.

Ms. Alice looked like she suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, this is your home."

This charming and innocent look does not look like a lady who controls powerful power, but rather she has the feeling of a stupid girl next door.

Seeing Ms. Alice's naive look, Wang Daoyi shook his head helplessly.

If anyone else had acted like this in front of Wang Daoyi, he would have sneered in response and not believed it at all.

But Ms. Alice, she must have had a short-circuit in her head and forgot that the desert was Wang Daoyi's territory.

"Madam, I heard Nasida say, are you here to see me?" Wang Daoyi wanted to bring the topic to the main topic.

Alice slapped her forehead: "Yes, when I saw the little fish, I thought of my baby Kelly, and I almost forgot about the real thing."

Wang Daoyi smiled lightly without any dissatisfaction: "Do you need my help with anything?"

"No, no, I'm not here to help you." Ms. Alice waved her hand, and then continued, "Last time I saw that you seemed to be very interested in the outside world."

Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh? Could it be that there is some knowledge outside the world?"

"That's not true, there is just a piece of news that may interest you." Ms. Alice first denied what Wang Daoyi said, and then said with a mysterious look, "When I was observing the world barrier, I discovered that the recent desert A nearby barrier is weakening rapidly."

Wang Daoyi was slightly stunned when he heard Alice's words.

The world barrier near the desert is weakening?

The world's barriers are actually the egg shells left by the "original one".

The protection that envelops the entire Teyvat.

So, it’s not just that there are barriers at the edge of the world;

Theoretically, the World Barrier can be accessed from anywhere in Teyvat.

It's just because when the barrier is intact, it has a very high status and is inaccessible to ordinary people.

There is a gap in the world barrier in the desert. Wang Daoyi actually knows about this.

In the story of Apep, He once sought knowledge outside the world at the gap in the barrier in the desert area.

But later, he was discovered by the sky, and a sky nail fell, destroying the gap in the barrier here.

It is precisely because the gap in the world barrier is closed and Apep cannot obtain knowledge outside the world from here that he cooperates with Amon.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi is not surprised that there is a gap in the world barrier in the desert.

He wondered why the repaired breach in the barrier would become weak again.

You know, there has never been any secondary damage to the repaired areas of the Sky Nail.

Whether it is repairing the gap in the abyss or suppressing the abnormality of the earth veins, the nails dropped from the sky have never made any mistakes.

But how come in the desert, even things like gaps in world barriers can be repeated?

Wang Daoyi already had a vague guess in his heart.

"In order to prevent me from continuing to interfere with the Fontaine prophecy, the sky directly released the world barrier in the desert area?"

This is not groundless speculation, but the timing is just too coincidental.

He had confirmed a few days ago that Tiantian would definitely take action to entangle him.

Then Ms. Alice came over and told him that the barriers in the desert area were weak.

Currently, there are not many things in Teyvat that can attract Wang Daoyi's attention, and World Barrier is definitely one of them.

If the barriers in the desert are weak, Wang Daoyi can definitely devote all his energy to research.

Even, according to Wang Daoyi's preparation, it is not impossible for him to take advantage of the weakness of the world's barriers to rush out of Teyvat and give it a try.

And the most important thing is, where is the weak point of the barrier this time?

So, Wang Daoyi raised his head, looked at Ms. Alice, and asked this question: "Do you know the specific location?"

Ms. Alice shook her head: "It's just weak at the moment, and I can't make a specific position. Unless there is a loophole, I can know the location accurately."

After a pause, she added, "However, this shouldn't be a problem for you."

Wang Daoyi looked at her curiously.

"First of all, you are the Lord of the Desert, and any changes that occur in the desert should not be hidden from you. Secondly, you only need to locate the oldest ruins or the location of the Sky Nail in the desert.

Gaps in world barriers generally appear in ancient ruins.

The situation seems to be a little different this time, so you can pay attention to Tian Nai. "

Ms. Alice explained.

Wang Dao nodded,

Indeed, the last time they were at the edge of the world, the world rift they closed was in an ancient ruins.

As for the Sky Nail, it does need attention.

It must be an anomaly that the world's barriers can still be weak in the place where the Sky Nail fell.

Then there is the most critical issue of regional anomalies. Just like the situation at the edge of the world, problems with the world barrier are likely to bring about a wave of monsters. This situation requires attention.

After thinking about everything, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly: "I understand, thank you for your notice."

Ms. Alice waved her hand: "It's okay. It's because you're good to Keli that I came to inform you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be too lazy to move."

Although Wang Daoyi and Ms. Alice have collaborated before, they are at most just acquaintances.

The biggest foundation of trust between the two is actually built on Keli.

Wang Daoyi likes Keli very much and dotes on Keli very much. Even Abedo thinks he is too doting on her.

As Keli's mother, Alice can naturally feel this love.

"Haha, Keli is very cute, everyone likes her very much." Wang Daoyi said with a smile, and then he remembered, "Oh, by the way, Abedo asked me to say hello to you."

"Hey, little Albedo? Hasn't he been in Mondstadt recently?" Ms. Alice became interested.

Abedo and Alice have a very good relationship, otherwise, Alice would not entrust Keli to him.

According to the seniority relationship, Abedo calls Alice aunt.

"I recently had a research project, and I asked Albedo to come to the desert to help me. Mondstadt has been quiet for too long, and most of the research projects are not very eye-catching. For Albedo, it is too boring."

Compared with the research projects provided by Chisha, Mond's alchemy project is boring.

Although Albedo is a master of alchemy, he has never carried out any big projects, which can be said to be a great waste.

But that's normal, Mondstadt has always been a very laid-back country.

This is also related to Barbatos’ governance philosophy.

Under the wind of freedom, most people in Mondstadt have no strong desire for rights.

Wine and poetry are enough for the people of Mondstadt to live happily.

This also led to Abedo basically doing some small experiments of his own in Mondstadt, with few major national-level projects.

And this is why Abedo is willing to agree to help Wang Daoyi and Xumi every time.

Doing big projects is also good for Albedo's own skills improvement.

"Research, what kind of research, is it fun?" Ms. Alice's eyes lit up.

Her alchemy skills are also the best in Teyvat.

Dolly, a big businessman in Sumeru, has accumulated unimaginable wealth just because she has the exclusive right to sell Ms. Alice’s alchemical creations.

It is precisely because of this background that Dolly doesn't care at all about the fine imposed on her by the Xumi Order. Anyway, she can earn it back soon.

Wang Daoyi still remembered that Dolly had been hired by the Fools to intercept the skirmishers who were chasing Arecino.

Dolly used Ms. Alice's alchemical products to trap the skirmishers.

You know, the skirmishers at that time had fallen from the divine state and were very powerful.

One can imagine how powerful Ms. Alice's alchemy is.

"Research on an efficient vehicle probably doesn't interest you." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

Spaceship = efficient vehicle.

Nothing wrong.

After hearing this, Ms. Alice lost interest as expected. She preferred dangerous research.

I have no interest in efficient vehicles.

After waving her hand, Ms. Alice said: "Forget it, Your Majesty, you don't have to look at me anymore. I'll just stroll around and go to Mondstadt to see Kelly later."

It is pitiful to say that Ms. Alice, as one of the top people on the continent of Teyvat, does not have much time to spend with her daughter.

In other words, Keli is an optimist by nature, otherwise, it would be another family tragedy.

"That's it. Then I'll go and talk to Abedo and ask him to accompany you back. Keli probably hasn't seen her brother Abedo for a while." Wang Daoyi hesitated for a moment, and then said.

In fact, I was afraid that Ms. Alice would do something sneaky.

When Ms. Alice visited Liyue, Zhongli accompanied her every step of the way, for fear that she would sink Jueyunjian.

How could Wang Daoyi feel relieved?

Alice probably sensed Wang Daoyi's uneasiness, rolled her eyes at him, and nodded: "Then I'll wait here for a while."

Wang Daoyi showed an apologetic smile, then turned around and disappeared.

underground base,

Wang Daoyi quickly found Albedo: "Put your work aside for a while, go shopping with Ms. Alice, and then go back to Mondstadt to see Keli."

Abedo:?

After a moment of confusion, he immediately responded: "What research is Aunt Alice going to do in the desert?"

High emotional intelligence: engage in research.

Low EQ: Wreak havoc.

Wang Dao showed a hint of helplessness at the corner of his mouth: "Ms. Alice is going to pour water from the canal into the Red King's Tomb to explore the Red King's Tomb."

"Pfft." Nicored didn't hold back.

Wang Daoyi and Abedo looked at him.

Nicorette waved his hand quickly: "Ahem, cough, cough, actually the idea is quite good. We can infer the hidden passages in the Red King's Tomb based on the spread of the water channel."

He was trying his best to make up for Ms. Alice's thoughts.

Wang Daoyi and Abedo rolled their eyes at him and ignored him.

"Then let's go." Albedo nodded to Wang Dao, then looked at Nicoreid, "As for the maneuvering data of the spacecraft, you continue to calculate."

Nicorette nodded: "Don't worry."

…

When Wang Daoyi and Abedo returned to the canal,

Then I saw a...dragon floating in front of Ms. Alice.

It's Apep.

The corner of Wang Dao's mouth twitched, "As expected of you, Alice."

How did you pull Ape out?

"Ho, damn it, Lord of Red Sand, let this woman let go of me." Apep's clone saw Wang Daoyi and roared angrily.

As soon as Wang Dao walked in and took a look,

Milky white haloes surrounded Apep's clone, tightly confining it.

"Lord of Red Sand, you raise a dragon, you are so awesome!"

Alice gave Wang Daoyi a thumbs up.

Wang Daoyi had no choice but: "Ms. Alice, let go of Apep's clone first, otherwise I won't be able to stop him from waking up."

Can't stop it is a kind word.

After hearing this, Alice rolled her eyes and wondered what kind of idea she had thought of.

He smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, I'll let you go."

The milky white halo of light collapsed one by one, revealing the imprisoned Apep clone.

There are still some traces of imprisonment left on the clone's body.

There was some damage to the scales.

Wang Dao glanced at Alice and saw her secretly putting away the damaged scales. He shook his head slightly and said nothing.

"Aunt Alice." Abedo took a step forward.

"Hey, little Albedo, let's go, let's go." Alice grabbed Albedo, turned around and ran away.

She was afraid that the Lord of Red Sand would ask her for scale armor.

Watching Ms. Alice drag Albedo away,

Wang Daoyi looked at the angry Apep clone: ​​"Why did you let Alice catch you?"

"Damn it, who was that woman just now? It's so disgusting." Apep's clone was indignant.

Then talk about what happened just now.

It turns out that Apep has been sleeping in the palace.

His palace is not only built underground in the desert, but also between the material world and the world barrier.

"I feel that the world's barriers seem to have changed, so I wanted to tell you,

As a result, I met that woman on the canal.

She shamelessly attacked me and restrained me. Who is she? I want to tear her apart. "

Apep's clone actually doesn't have much power, or in other words, it doesn't have as terrifying a power as his original body.

After all, it was just a clone that came to report to Wang Daoyi, so there was no need to bring too much power.

That's why Alice can handle it easily.

"She is Alice, and she is currently in charge of repairing the world's barriers." Wang Daoyi replied casually.

He didn’t think Apep could threaten Ms. Alice.

It's simple. As long as Ms. Alice wants to hide, Wang Daoyi won't be able to find her.

After hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Apep's clone was slightly silent.

The responsibility to repair the world's barriers.

His dragon eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"By the way, you said you noticed a change in the world barrier. Can you confirm where it is?" Wang Daoyi asked.

If Apep could confirm the location of the change, then he wouldn't have to look for it.

Wang Daoyi's words diverted Apep's attention.

The clone Xiaolong flicked his tail: "I don't know about other places, but what is certain is that there must be something wrong with my palace.

Near my palace, the world's barriers are already very weak, giving me the feeling that I can break through the world's limitations with just a little effort. "

Then He spoke of recent changes,

"First, the barrier became weak, and then the space barrier also felt vaguely fragmented. In short, something was very wrong."

Apep's clone is still easy to talk to and doesn't feel as oppressive as the original.

Of course, Wang Daoyi didn't feel any oppression from Apep's body.

"I understand, can I go to your palace to take a look?" Wang Daoyi asked.

He hasn't been to Apep's palace yet. He just took a look at the door, so he doesn't know what it's like inside.

Xiaolong shook his head and waved his tail: "You have to tell me about this, I can't decide."

Apep's clone is just transformed into scale armor. Although he has a certain sense of self-sufficiency, he can't make any big decisions.

Only Apep's body can decide such matters as inviting the Lord of Red Sand into the palace.

"Well, then I'll talk to you in person." Wang Dao nodded.

At this time, white light appeared on Xiaolong's body, and it was about to dissipate.

"Huh, I wanted to look around, but it's all because of that woman just now."

Each cell in Apep has a corresponding will,

Every cell is a different [garden].

Although this little dragon is just a clone, it has an independent will.

Originally sent out to contact the Lord of Red Sand, he wanted to take this opportunity to look around.

As a result, he was caught by Alice and lost the time to look around.

"Ha, when you are reborn in the garden, I will ask Apep to let you out and have a look." Wang Dao said with a smile.

Xiaolong wagged his tail and rolled his eyes at him: "I don't want it. The reborn consciousness is not mine anymore. Why should I let it take advantage of me?"

Wang Daoyi was speechless, but this person knew the difference clearly.

As he spoke, the dragon gradually dissipated and turned into pure elemental power.

When time passes, this elemental power will return to Apep, then gather in [Home], and finally grow back into an intelligent elemental life.

The existence of Apep itself is a large ecosystem.

Wang Daoyi sometimes doubts that Tianli did not kill Apep after the Throne War.

It is estimated that it is kept as an ecological backup system for the world of Teyvat.

One day the Teyvat ecosystem collapsed.

Directly pulling out Ape and using it to carry out ecological restoration can greatly speed up the recovery of the ecosystem.

However, Wang Daoyi never mentioned this speculation to Apep.

He was afraid that if Apep knew the news, he would be humiliated and would commit suicide.

"Let's go see Apep first. Maybe the weak world barrier will be my chance to leave the world of Teyvat again."

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly and turned into a stream of light and disappeared above the canal.

at the same time,

Fontaine,

A three-party meeting is taking place on a large ship.

Traveler Ying, the representative of Momang Palace,

Navia, the owner of the Rose of Thorns Club,

and the Linney brothers and sisters, who are representatives of the Fools.

People who were not supposed to get together finally got together.

And their purpose is only one - to make the water goddess Funina speak, and then work together to save Fontaine.
