Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 372 Standpoint and Right or Wrong (5k) (Updated on Monday)

Liyue · Layer Rock Abyss,

After introducing Naxida and Xiangling to each other, they had a rest at Manmin Hall for one night.
Wang Daoyi took Naxida around to visit places of interest,
Whether it is the dilapidated ruins of Guiliji,

Or the ruins of Qingpu Market,

Or the magnificent scenery among the clouds,

Even Wuwangpo's treacherous and changeable,
The scenery along the way made Naxida understand Liyue more and more,
And the layered rock abyss is naturally their last stop,
Coincidentally, this is the boundary between Liyue and Sumeru. After visiting the rocky abyss, it is more convenient to return to Sumeru.

"It is said that in ancient times, a star descended from the sky and landed on this place. Since then, there has been an inexhaustible supply of beautiful jade and precious mines. The ancestors of Liyue made a living by mining here, creating a spectacle here."

Wang Daoyi thinks the theory of the birth of the stars is credible. At least, Zhong Li once said that he once witnessed the birth of the stars and fled away.

As for what kind of existence this star is, Wang Daoyi doesn't know.
However, it must not be a simple thing to let a place continuously form beautiful jade treasure mines.

Wang Daoyi has also come into contact with an existence that can seriously distort a place and have a long-term influence. That kind of thing is called the remains of a demon god.

As for whether Tianxing is the remnant of the demon god, Wang Daoyi can't say, but at least it won't be lower than this level.

"The layered rock abyss? I have learned about it in the void, the largest mine in Liyue, but why are there not many people here?"

"Since it's a mining area, shouldn't it be very lively?"

Nasida raised her head and looked at Wang Daoyi with some doubts.

"Because of some accidents, just like the dead zone in the rainforest, similar black pollution appeared under the rocky abyss. In order to ensure the safety of the people of Liyue, Qixing ordered Huishan Hall to evacuate the miners here and set up a magic circle , sealing the entrance to the underground of the layered rock abyss."

Wang Daoyi explained to Nasida.

The underground pollution of the stratum rock abyss became more and more serious, and after the emperor passed away, Qixing really didn't have the energy to concentrate on dealing with the affairs here, so he simply closed the place directly, and only a small number of elites were still active here.

However, the worst thing is not Qixing and the elite who stayed here.

The most miserable ones were the fools. At that time, the relationship between Liyue and Zhidong had not deteriorated. A group of fools were sent to assist in the investigation of the dark pollution.
And after the young master released Oser, the diplomatic relationship between Liyue and Zhidong deteriorated rapidly, and these fools who were originally sent here were abandoned like this.
Not only did Liyue automatically classify them as enemies,

Even their executor, their Solstice, has thus forgotten them.

Those high-ranking executives probably thought that those foolish soldiers would have died down there long ago.

After listening to Wang Daoyi's words, Naxida nodded thoughtfully,
Then the little hand pointed at the center of the rock abyss: "Since the seven stars have sealed the layer rock abyss, why is there such a big hole over there?"

Wang Daoyi followed the little hand to look over, good fellow, all the magic circles originally set up by the seven stars have failed, and the seal covering the giant abyss has completely dissipated.

"Ahem." Wang Daoyi coughed violently to ease his embarrassment. He knew that this must be a good thing done by a blond traveler, but he didn't say it directly, "Maybe the Huishan Hall has mobilized manpower, Let’s start to re-investigate the underground mining area of ​​the Layer Rock Abyss.”

"Is that so?"

Nasida tilted her head and looked at Wang Daoyi with a smile in her eyes.

"Hey, leave them alone, let's continue shopping."

Wang Daoyi knew that Nasida was laughing at him, but he didn't care. He took Nasida for a walk on the cliff, admiring the magnificent scenery of the rocky abyss.

at the same time,

Ying and Paimon held a blue crystal and walked through the claustrophobic underground passage,
The passage is cylindrical, and it doesn't look like it was dug by humans, but it looks like it was drilled by some kind of giant creature.

"Ying, are we really not going to ask Zhongli or Daoyi? I think they must know."

Paimeng flew by Ying's side, a little scared,
This kind of claustrophobic space is what Paimon is most afraid of, because if there is any danger, he will directly ride on his face.

"Zhongli and Daoyi may know, but they definitely won't say it." Ying shook her head, and she understood that those two people were not much better than the riddleman Dyin, and they laughed as they talked. Silent guy.

"Okay, okay, but, after we go out, do we really need someone to save those fools?" Pai Mengfei asked hesitantly by Ying's side.

Ying nodded, and said very confirmingly: "Of course, they are not bad people. They came to help Liyue, but they were locked up below. This is not right."

For Ying,
Although these fools under the layered rock abyss are also fools, they are completely different from the fools she met in other places.

These fools obviously came to help, but because of changes in the upper echelons, they were directly abandoned.
After communicating with those fools, Ying felt deep sympathy for what happened to them,
Such a thing is definitely wrong, so she wants to save these fools from going out.

"But, the relationship between Liyue and the Fools outside is not good right now." Paimon seemed a little worried.

Ying's eyes were firm: "That's why we need to save them. Only with our status can we mediate between Liyue and the crowd of fools."

Ying's identity is special, whether it is Liyue or Fools, the definition of Ying is vague,

Liyue Seven Stars will give Ying face, because Ying has helped Liyue many times, so they are very friendly to Ying.

The Fools will also save face, because the Fools have some special information channels, so they ask for something else from her.

"Well, no matter what Ying wants to do, I will support it!" Paimon stood aside, clenched his fist and waved it, looking cheering.

"Yeah!" Ying nodded, and then accelerated the speed of moving forward in the claustrophobic passage.

She still needs to help Jinwu and Zhiqiong to explore this side.

In a place that Ying didn't know, a blue figure watched her and Paimon go exploring all the way.

"Traveler? Interesting."

The blue figure turned into a phantom and followed Ying's footsteps.

outside world,

Wang Daoyi led Naxida and walked on the cliffs,

"500 years ago, during the Calamity of Kanria, the people of Liyue fought against the tide of dark beasts here."

"500 years ago? I was not born at that time, and Sumeru was still ruled by King Dacishu. I have always been curious about what happened at that time."

"Ha, that must be the deepest secret about Teyvat."

The two chatted while walking in the mountains.

The stratocratic abyss is great,

But for the existence of the two gods, it is also very small,

In just half a day, the two of them took a rough look at the upper part of the layered rock abyss.

"Want to go down and have a look?"

"it is good."
-
Stratum Abyss Central Area, Mouth of the Abyss,
Looking at the huge machinery beside him, Wang Daoyi shook his head helplessly: "I wanted to try the elevator here, but it seems that it hasn't resumed operation yet, so I can only fly down."

Unlike in the game,
This huge lifting machine naturally needs someone to control it.

And it hasn't been fully restored here, so the lifting machinery...can't be used yet.

Holding Nasida's hand, turning into a golden streamer, Wang Dao flew down to the mouth of the abyss.

Stratum Abyss Temporary Main Mine,
Ying, who had just returned from another area, was eating and resting with Paimon, some Huishan hall staff, and adventurers from the Adventurers Association.

Then I saw a golden streamer descending from the sky,

In the streamer, Wang Dao held Naxida's hand slightly tighter,
"Daoyi, I can't see her yet."

Nashida's soft voice suddenly rang in Wang Daoyi's ear,

Can't see her?What's the meaning?
However, Wang Daoyi did not hesitate, and the light distorted slightly, hiding Naxida's figure.

The golden streamer fell on the ground, revealing Wang Daoyi's figure,
"Dao Yi!" Paimon's surprised voice sounded,

The little white guy rushed to Wang Daoyi's side and flew around him, looking very happy.

"Daoyi, why are you here?" On the other side, Ying also showed curiosity, "Did Ningguang invite you here?"

The rock giant abyss was sealed by the seven stars, and Wang Daoyi appeared here at this time,

Ying thought about it, and thought that Ningguang might have invited Wang Daoyi to come here to investigate.

"Ningguang? Ha, she did tell me about the rocky abyss, but this time, I just wanted to come down and have a look."

He grabbed Paimon who was flying around, then walked to Ying's side, and stuffed Paimon into Ying's arms.

"Oh~ What is Daoyi here to see? Could it be that big nail?"

Paimon was still bluffing.

"Big nail? Oh, you mean the Nail of the Cold Sky, ha, I don't want to see that thing yet." Wang Daoyi's eyes were a little apprehensive.

Wang Daoyi was full of resistance to the punishment from Gaotian, or Tianli's repair of the earth's veins, and the spikes against certain things.
Before ascending to the throne, Wang Daoyi didn't want to have anything to do with this thing.

"Well, does Daoyi know what it is?" Ying was a little curious. She had seen similar things in the snow mountain before, and she also learned some fragmented information from the ancient country information left behind by the snow mountain.

However, she still knows but is not familiar with the information about the Nail of the Cold Sky.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, and said, "The Nail of Cold Sky is a long nail sent down by Gao Tian to repair the earth's veins."

"Repair the leylines?" Ying was a little surprised. Whether it was in the snow mountain or in the huge pit, the Nail of the Cold Sky gave her nothing but destruction.

"Ha, that's what I said, but when it comes down, it also brings destruction." Wang Daoyi shrugged, and then looked at Ying, "I don't know the details, you still need to find out by yourself. "

Ying: Damn it, it's this kind of riddleman behavior again.

Ying complained silently in her heart,

However, this time she wronged Wang Daoyi, because this is indeed the only thing Wang Daoyi knows about the Frost Sky Nail.

to the camp,
Wang Daoyi looked at the employees of Huishan Hall next to him: "Huh? From Huishan Hall?"

The other party should know Wang Daoyi, so he nodded quickly: "Yes, Your Excellency Wang Daoyi."

"Oh, did the person next to Ningguang come down?"

"Ah, that one is not with us."

"Oh, that's fine."

After finishing the conversation with the employees of Huishan Hall, Wang Daoyi looked at Ying and Paimeng again: "How about it, did you gain anything from the adventure here?"

"It's spooky down there, Paimon doesn't like it at all!" Before Ying could answer, Paimon floated out to complain.

The various mine tunnels under the rocky abyss are narrow and boring, and it is indeed one of Paimon's least favorite environments.

Moreover, there are monsters appearing in these mines from time to time, and there are even black and purple pollution overflowing from the depths of the earth, all of which make Paimon not like this place.

Ying also nodded: "The environment here is indeed a bit too harsh, and it can even be compared with some of Dao's wife's secret realms."

Dao's wife's environment has always been a pain that Ying can't forget, especially in some secret places or no-man's land, Ying still remembers it fresh.

"Ha, it's normal. Where there is the Nail of Cold Sky, the environment will always be somewhat abnormal." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

Where the nail of cold weather fell,

At present, Wang Daoyi can confirm the following: Mengde's Longji Snow Mountain, Liyue's Layered Rock Abyss,

And for the time being, there are also: Daozuma’s Crane View, Xumi’s Thousand Valley Sand Field,
These places have abnormal environments.

"." Ying was silent for a while, not knowing what she was thinking, and the camp fell into silence for a while.

Wang Dao glanced at Naxida who was invisible beside him,
Nashida's gaze was on Ying, and she seemed to be very curious about Ying.

After a while, it seems that I am not used to silent bullying,
Paimon flew to Ying's side, poked Ying's arm with his small hand, and then said softly: "Fools"

The little guy is reminding Ying something.

Ying was stunned, and then looked at the employees of Huishan Hall and the adventurers from the Adventurers Association,
Winking at Wang Daoyi: "Daoyi, there are some things I want to tell you, can I go and chat?"

"Of course." Wang Daoyi heard Paimeng's reminder to Ying just now, and already had some guesses in his heart, so naturally he would not reject Ying's proposal.

The two of them, Paimeng and the invisible Nasida, came to a corner far away from the camp.

I think the people in the camp should not be able to hear the sound here,
Yingcai said a little embarrassedly: "Daoyi, can I ask you something?"

"Do you want me to rescue those fools?" Wang Daoyi had already seen Ying's purpose.

Ying froze for a moment, was she so obvious?

But she quickly reacted and nodded vigorously: "Well, is it okay?"

In Ying's expectant eyes,

Wang Daoyi shook his head slowly: "Sorry, no."

"Ah? Why?"

Ying was surprised, this was the first time Wang Daoyi refused her request for help,
You know, Wang Daoyi helped her block the knife even when facing General Lei Dian before.

But now, she just asked Wang Daoyi to save a few fools, but she refused her so directly.

Ying was a little confused for a while.

Could it be that saving a few fools is more difficult than blocking General Lei Dian's blade?

"Because at present, fools are my enemies, and it is impossible for me to save my enemies."

Wang Daoyi explained to Ying.

As the relationship between Fools and Chisha Qi deteriorated, although it was not easy at the beginning,
The relationship between Wang Daoyi and the fools changed from normal to hostile.
Although he himself will not take action against ordinary fools now, it is unnecessary for him to save fools.

Ying frowned: "But, these fools are all here to help investigate under the rocky abyss, they are not bad people."

"Uh..." Wang Dao was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a strange expression, "How do you know they are not bad people?"

"I got in touch with them, and they were all sent over to perform a helping mission. Some of them have become friends with the Qianyan Army who used to be stationed here. How could such a person be a bad person?"

Ying tried very hard to convince Wang Daoyi.

"Ha, this is just their one-sided words, and even if what they say is true, even if they are all good people, but they are fools." Wang Daoyi still shook his head slightly, unwilling to help those fools.

"Does the identity of the fools make you ignore that they are good people?" Ying didn't know why, but felt a little strange to Wang Daoyi.

In her impression, Wang Daoyi should be a kind and helpful person.

With a wry smile, he suddenly didn't know how to explain to Ying: "Well, this is a matter of position, not a matter of good or bad."

"Stand?" Ying was even more puzzled.

Wang Dao nodded and continued to speak: "Yes, it's a matter of position. The diplomatic relationship between Liyue and Zhidong has approached a freezing point. Although my status has changed a bit, my position is basically the same as Liyue's. , fools are my enemies."

"Even if those fools are good people, if I save them, will they return to Zhidong? Well, if their chief asks them to hurt the people of Liyue, or even spy on my people, then they should what to do?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Dao looked at Ying. He didn't expect Ying to give up her own ideas and save those fools. Of course it was possible.

However, it is impossible for Wang Daoyi to rescue him.

Ying's little face was a little pale, and I don't know if it was because of Wang Daoyi's words, or because she hadn't basked in the sun for a long time underground.

"But...they are good people, shouldn't we help good people?" Ying firmly grasped the point of good people, trying to persuade Wang Daoyi.

"You are a traveler, so your position is always neutral, so you only need to see good and evil, good and bad, but I am different, I have integrated into this world, I have to consider the position first, and then good and bad and right or wrong."

"If Zhidong and Liyue hadn't turned against each other, then these people would not have been left behind. Even if there were any accidents, Qixing would use the Qianyan Army to rescue them, but now the two sides have turned against each other."

Wang Daoyi's meaning is very simple, the fools are the enemy, and it is impossible for Liyue to save the enemy, even if these people were once 'friendly troops'.

"Is position more important than right or wrong?"

".A standpoint is right or wrong!"
