Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 396 Time is Uncontrollable Power (5k) (1200 monthly ticket plus update last month)

Sending away Ichito Ararataki and Shinobu Kuki,
Ying and Paimon also went back to their room to rest.

Wang Daoyi came to the kitchen and helped Xiangling tidy up.

In the end, I rested for a night holding Xiangling Meimei,
Early the next morning, Wang Daoyi got up and went to the Pastoral Hall.

He wanted to share this harvest with Zhong Li.

All the way to the Hall of Death,

However, Mr. Zhongli was told by the true king that he was not worthy to leave the house early.

Helpless, Wang Daoyi started the journey to find Zhongli again.

It's a pity that Wang Daoyi didn't find Zhongli after searching several places that Zhongli often visited.

"Think about it carefully, at this point in time, plus Yidou and Jiu Qiren suddenly came to Liyue again, could it be?"

A thought flashed through his mind, Wang Daoyi seemed to know where Zhongli was.

Leaving Liyue Port, it turned into a ray of golden light and flew towards the destination I guessed in my heart.
-
Dihuazhou·Wangshu Inn

"It may be risky to go here, but you insist on going?" The young man in a fancy dress stood on the roof of the Wangshu Inn with his hands behind his back, as if admiring the magnificent scenery of Dihuazhou.

Behind him, a young man in blue knelt on one knee, as if begging for something,
These two people are exactly Zhong Li and Dharma Guardian Yasha Mandrill.

"He has guarded this place for more than a hundred years and has never left without authorization. Only the matter of the nameless Yasha, I implore the emperor to allow it."

Mandrill lowered his head, his words were full of nostalgia for relatives and friends.

Zhong Li turned around, glanced at Mandrill who was kneeling on one knee, and sighed slightly inwardly.

Since the end of the Demon God War, Liyue can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, and this happiness is due to the resentment of the Demon God in the wilderness being cleaned up by Youdrill.

Mandrill has made great achievements. Although he doesn't feel it, no one can deny it.

"Forget it, go, be careful." Zhong Li finally agreed.

Mandrill's eyes light up slightly, it seems to be joy, or perhaps relaxation.

"Thank you, Monarch."

"You don't need to thank me, you are free and should not be restrained by me." Zhong Li shook his head slowly.

Mandrill: "If it wasn't for the emperor, Jinpeng would have died long ago. For the grace of the emperor, Mandrill would not dare to forget each other even if he died."

"There is no kindness worth protecting for thousands of years. Mandrill, let's rest more." Zhong Li's eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if thinking of something, he smiled slightly, "Look at me, don't you all rest too?"

Mandrill remained silent and did not speak.

He didn't tell Zhongli what he thought, it was because Dijun had rested, and as Dijun's follower, he needed to work harder to protect this land.

The two of them didn't speak, just looked at each other silently, as if everything was in silence.

"ruthless~"

Suddenly, Feng Ying, who was hiding aside in fear of Zhong Li's power, suddenly raised his head and let out a clear whistle.

"Huh?" Mandrill turned his head to look.

Zhong Li said calmly, "Ha, it seems that Dao Yi has come, this little bird has sensed his breath."

The relationship between Fengying and Wang Daoyi is relatively close, as long as Wang Daoyi doesn't deliberately hide his aura, then Fengying can perceive Wang Daoyi's existence.

This range, as Fengying became stronger and stronger, also became larger and larger.

next moment,
A golden light appeared from the distant skyline.

A few breaths will appear on the roof.

"Dijun, Great Sage Mandrill, good morning." Wang Dao stretched out his hand and took out a few raspberries, "I just picked raspberries in the morning rain and dew, would you like some?"

He didn't use the ley line channel, but went to pick some raspberries.

After all, when you come to visit someone's place, you should bring some gifts.

Looking at the raspberry in Wang Daoyi's hand, Mandrill shook his head, he would not be in the mood to eat now.

Zhongli, on the other hand, reached out to take a few from Wang Daoyi's hand, put them in his mouth, and tasted them a bit: "Well, the sourness is not much, and the sweet taste has a slight aftertaste, not bad."

After tasting the raspberries, Zhongli looked at Wang Daoyi: "It seems that your harvest has been good recently, and I can hardly see through you."

I can't see through it soon, but I can still see it now.

Wang Dao curled his lips, and then smiled: "Hey, the harvest is good, but there are some things I want to ask you for advice."

Mandrill saw the two talking and laughing, and he didn't know why there was a sour feeling in his heart, but it was fleeting: "Dijun, then I will leave first."

Zhong Li looked at Mandrill and nodded slightly.

With Zhongli's consent, Mandrill turned into a blue light and disappeared.

And Fengying beside him shook his head for a while, instead of chasing Mandrill, he went to a tree on one side and squatted down, his pair of eagle eyes still staring at Wang Daoyi, revealing a little admiration.

After Mandrill left.

Wang Daoyi opened his mouth and said: "Dijun, I met Yi in Dao's wife's Yuanxia Palace."

"Don't say this name, use another name instead." Zhong Li interrupted suddenly.

"?" Wang Daoyi was a little puzzled, and then immediately realized that the name Istaru might really not be called casually.

Maybe, some beings are staring at this name.

Just like the priests in Yuanxia Palace, they reminded Wang Daoyi many times not to call the Eternal God by his name.

"I see. In Yuanxia Palace, I met the Shadow of Time and got something. I want to ask you about it."

Wang Daoyi immediately changed his words.

Zhong Li shook his head slightly after hearing this: "Because of the previous contract, I can't even tell you the information about [higher-level power]."

A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly: "Is that so? I understand."

Zhongli couldn't tell him, it means Zhongli knew something,

Similarly, it also means that there must be more important secrets about Istaru.

Zhongli may have signed many contracts in the past, but limited to the contracts, he couldn't tell Ying about Kong,

But now, also limited to the contract, he couldn't give Wang Daoyi any more information.

Seeing Wang Daoyi's understanding, Zhongli's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he continued: "I can only tell you, 【Time is an uncontrollable force. Those who fool with time will be fooled by time." !]."

Listening to Zhongli's words, Wang Daoyi thought carefully.

The first half of the sentence, [time is not controlled], may mean that time cannot be transferred by personal will, and perhaps the former time ruling can go back in time within a certain range, but there must be a price.

If the ruling of time can use the power of time for free, then he can completely go back the entire time of Tivat to avoid all tragedies and misfortunes.

And this kind of time retrogression did not happen, which means that the ruling of time has a price for controlling time.

In the second half of the sentence, "He who fools time will be fooled by time", Wang Daoyi also had some speculations in his heart, but he couldn't find a specific example.

Shaking his head, he shook off the messy thoughts.

Although he still didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhongli's words, Wang Daoyi still wrote down these words seriously.

He chatted with Zhongli for a while at the Wangshu Inn, and asked Zhongli a lot about governance.

At noon, Zhong Li left first. According to his own statement, he came out this time to help Hall Master Hu find some ritual materials. After chatting for so long, it was time to go to work.

And Wang Daoyi played with Feng Ying on the roof for a while before leaving Wangshu Inn.

However, he did not return to Liyue Port, but directly returned to the Great Red Sand Sea through the ley line channel.

He was still thinking about the future picture he saw in Yuanxia Palace.

Since Zhongli is limited to the contract, there is no way to tell him something.

Then, Wang Daoyi will investigate by himself.

Walking out of the dark blue leyline channel,
Wang Dao took a look at the spotless tent and sat down on the main seat.
Then he yelled, "Kasha, go get Sid to meet me."

He didn't go out of the tent to look, but he knew that the two sisters, Cassakalian, must be guarding the door.

Sure enough, after Wang Daoyi made his voice,

A voice came from the tent door immediately: "Yes, my lord."

Then the door of the tent was opened, and my younger sister Kallen walked in: "I'll make you some tea, my lord."

Karen walked slowly to Wang Daoyi's side, picked up the teapot familiarly, and began to pour tea and water for Wang Daoyi.

It seems that she has seriously studied this craft, and she is much more skilled and graceful than she used to be.

Soon,
Kai'Sa took the two of them into the tent.

The chief steward of the Chisha tribal alliance, West Germany.

The other is Chisha's current chief alchemist, Niguled.

"Huh? Nicored, why are you here? Did something happen?"

Wang Daoyi was a little curious. Generally speaking, the other party would only move between the alchemist's classroom, the alchemy workshop, and the resting tent.
Rarely would he take the initiative to go to other places, including meeting Wang Daoyi.

Nigreid nodded, with a trace of caution on his face: "There are indeed some things that happened, but let Sid talk about it, and I will make some additions later."

Seeing Niguled's cautious look, Wang Daoyi suddenly became interested in being able to be treated like this by a master alchemist. It seems that a lot of things did happen when he was not around.

"Since that's the case, let me tell you, Sid, what happened to the tribe, or to say, Dachishahai, when I was away?"

Wang Daoyi looked at Sid with interest.

"Yes, my god." Sid bowed slightly to Wang Daoyi, then stood up straight, and began to tell what happened to the tribe and the desert after Wang Daoyi left, "After you left, with the help of Master Niguled Next, the Bacha Reservoir has entered normal operation."

"We sent a team of holy skeleton warriors and 300 red sand warriors to guard there, and at the same time, they were responsible for the replacement of earth vein stones and the removal of monsters."

Sid talked about this, and Niguled added: "The Bajia Reservoir is running well, and there is more and more water at present. Soon we can try to put some animals in it to improve the ecological circle."

Wang Dao nodded: "That's a good thing. As for the ecological circle, I have already thought about it. I brought back a tribe of dragon lizards from Daoqi, and then I will place them in the Bacha Reservoir so that They are responsible for cleaning up the demon god's filth that appears inside the reservoir."

At the beginning, it was Yuanxia Palace, Wang Dao had already thought about the arrangements for them as soon as he accepted some of its heirs at the request of the old dragon lizard.

These heterogeneous dragon lizards have been modified to be resistant enough to the power of the demon god's radiation, and they are used to maintain the cleanliness of the Bajia reservoir, which is perfect.

In this way, there are holy skeleton warriors leading red sand warriors to clean up the Bacha Reservoir, and the inside is maintained by different kinds of dragon lizards, which can basically guarantee the safe operation of the reservoir.

"Let's talk about this later, Sid, and you continue to report."

After receiving Wang Daoyi's order, Sid continued to speak: "As for the business issue of the tribe, the laying has been basically completed. Under the encouragement regulations, many tribesmen are willing to try to start a business. After a while, we can gradually open up the business." In addition, the Elchingen Chamber of Commerce seems to have noticed our plan and has begun to gradually reduce the amount of food shipped to the desert."

Wang Dao nodded slightly: "In this case, the commercial economy can continue to be promoted, and there is no need to change it. As for the actions of the fools, don't worry about them. They will accept the food. If they don't, they can buy it from other chambers of commerce. , In short, the priority is to ensure that the grain reserves of the headquarters are sufficient to supply other branches, and then implement reforms on grain.”

Sid nodded, and then moved on to the next item: "Recently, the Great Red Sand Sea has been mutated and overgrown, which has diverted a lot of our energy. The development of the Thousand Valley Sand Land and the deeper desert has been greatly affected."

Wang Dao frowned. This is not good news. The development of the Thousand Valley Sand Land and the deeper desert is a keynote set by Wang Dao.
The current Great Red Sand Sea is too barren, covered by yellow sand, although there is vast land, there is not much that can be used.

And Chisha can't develop towards the rain forest, and can only explore the Qianhe Sand Land and the deeper desert.

If Chisha's exploration of the Qianhe Sand Land and deeper is hindered, it will indeed affect the development of Chisha.

"Tell me, what are the specific difficulties?" Wang Daoyi asked.

West Germany didn't dare to hide it, and never thought about it: "On the one hand, the number of dead zones in the desert has recently begun to increase, and they often appear in groups."

"On the other hand, for some unknown reason, the sandworms in the Qianhe Sand Land have been berserk a lot recently and started to attack our exploration team on a large scale."

"The combination of these two factors has made it difficult for the tribe to continue exploring deeper."

Sid explained the latest difficulties.

Wang Dao frowned. Regarding the dead zone, he really didn't have any better management plan, so he could only use force to clear it.

On this point, the patrol officers of the Order Academy also dealt with it in the same way.

As for the sandworm problem, it is even more helpless. That kind of thing is an economic animal, and a large part of the tribe’s funding source is sandworm oil. If the sandworms are massacred, it will inevitably deal a blow to the future tribal economy.

In other words, one of these two problems can only be solved by force, and the other seems to be able to only increase the protection of the exploration team.

They are all methods that consume a lot of tribal manpower.

After thinking for a while, Wang Daoyi looked at Nicolaide on the side: "Nicolaide, do you have any thoughts on these two questions?"

Hearing Wang Daoyi's call, Niguled was not surprised, as if he knew that the other party would ask him.

After organizing the language, Niguled said: "First of all, it is the first time I have come into contact with this thing about the dead zone. However, I went to clean up a few dead zones with the Chisha warriors and got some gains. .”

"The dead zone seems to be formed by some kind of distortion force. After the dead zone is cleared, there will be pure elemental force remaining. I guess, the dead zone may be the last life form of some distorted elemental creatures, or in other words, the Distorted life forms."

Hearing what Niguled said, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, and then said: "Interesting, I have also studied some things about the dead zone before, and the dead zone is essentially the pollution of some kind of taboo knowledge, if according to your It is said that some elemental beings polluted by taboo knowledge did not return to the world as elemental power in the final stage of life, but were distorted into a dead zone."

After pondering for a while, Wang Daoyi continued: "If this is the case, then finding those polluted elemental life may be a choice to solve the dead zone."

Below the main seat, Niguled nodded in agreement: "I think so too, so I asked Elder Sid to dispatch a team of relic warriors to search in the desert. Due to the problem of the dead zone, in the desert It exists at the same time as the rainforest, so I set my target on the elemental life that exists in both the rainforest and the desert—the slime.”

"What was the result?" Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest.

Nigreid shook his head: "After capturing a large number of slime experiments, I can confirm that slimes are not elemental life with dead zone factors."

"Then the clue is broken?"

Nigreid immediately denied: "How is it possible, since the slime is not, it means that in the rainforest and desert, there is still an elemental life form that we have not found."

As he said that, Niguled touched his right hand and took out a small stick that was shining rapidly.

"Hiss, Lord of Red Sand, your elemental power is too vast, and, moreover, too pure." Niguled sighed.

Wang Daoyi was a little curious, and then quickly restrained the elemental fluctuations in his body, his aura calmed down, like a mortal.

And the little stick in Niguled's hand, which was still shining just now, immediately calmed down and became dim.

"This thing can perceive the richness and purity of elemental power?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Nicolaide nodded: "Yes, after realizing that there is a hidden elemental life race, I developed this little prop, and let the soldiers go out to search with the prop."

As he said that, Niguled couldn't help showing a proud look.

Wang Daoyi smiled: "Looking at your expression, the search must be rewarding."

Niguled nodded excitedly: "That's right, under the search of the Skeleton Warrior, an elemental life was brought back very quickly. You would never have imagined what kind of life it was."

Wang Dao raised his eyebrows: "No. It's a mushroom beast."

Nikolai was stunned, blinked, and then looked at Sid next to him: "Sid, did you report to Lord Red Sand in advance?"

Sid quickly waved his hand: "No, I haven't had time to say it yet."

He really didn't say anything.
