Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 397 The Forgotten 'Family' (5k)

Seeing Sid's nervous denial, Nigreid had no doubts and believed him.

Then Nikolai looked curiously at Wang Daoyi: "The Lord of Red Sand, no, the great Lord of Red Sand, how do you know that the other party is in the form of a mushroom beast?"

Wang Daoyi smiled mysteriously, the entire Chisha Headquarters was under his sight, as long as he wanted to know, he would naturally know.

"Ha, just take it as my guess." Wang Daoyi shook his head, and then continued to ask, "So do you have any research results?"

When Wang Dao asked about the results, Niguled was a little frustrated. He shook his head: "Sorry, although the other party is an elemental life, I feel that it is intelligent. I promised Abedo that I would not refuse when intelligent life I will use some methods under the circumstances, so I have nothing to gain."

Nicolaide is an incomplete [person]. Abedo worried that he would go astray, and made many promises with him.

Not going against the will of intelligent life, using them for experiments, is one of them.

Of course, if it is Wang Daoyi's order, then forget it.

"Ha, no need to be sorry, Nicolaide, you can abide by the agreement with Abedo, which means that you have [Trust], and that you have not attacked the weak elemental life, which means that you have [Benevolence]."

Wang Daoyi looked at the other party with a smile, and gave a compliment: "All this shows that you are one step closer to [human], congratulations."

"Really?" Niguled's eyes lit up, and then a smirk appeared on his face, like a social animal being puaed by the boss.

The unscrupulous boss nodded: "Of course, next time you see Abedo, you can tell him about this, and he will give the same evaluation as me."

Because Wang Daoyi told Abedo in advance that after preconceived ideas, Abedo would naturally think that Niguledo had grown up.

However, Niguled didn't know about Wang Daoyi's Xiaojiujiu, and when he heard Wang Daoyi's words, the smirk on his face became a bit more vigorous.

"I'll talk about the elemental life later. I'll go and see for myself later." Wang Daoyi skipped over the elemental life and the dead zone, and then continued to ask, "About the sandworm, have you visited it?"

Nicolaide's professional quality is still very strong. Hearing Wang Daoyi's question, he quickly restrained the smile on his face, then thought about it, and said with some dignity: "Before the soldiers brought back a sand The corpse of the worm, I studied it."

"This kind of creature is also a high-level elemental life. As for the reason for their berserk, I haven't found out yet, but I guess it should have something to do with their blood."

"Blood?" Wang Daoyi murmured,
About the blood of the sandworm, Wang Daoyi naturally knew,

Like dragon lizards, they belong to [Dragon Species] and are descendants of the ancient dragon clan. Although they look nothing like dragons now, there is no doubt that they are still elemental creatures of the dragon genus.

By the way, the [Dragon] of Tivat is not a simple dragon, but refers to the highest evolutionary form of all elemental creatures.

The seven most terrifying kings in the legend are not called the Seven Dragon Kings in some documents of the White Night Kingdom. In fact, they should be more accurately called the Seven Kings of Elements, representing the apex of the single element of Tivat.

The sandworm is the direct or branch descendant of one of these elemental kings.

"That's right, I checked the various tribal documents collected by the Chisha tribe, and found that the sandworms had never rioted like this before."

"And I have investigated the environment of Qianhe Sandland recently, and there have been no large-scale changes, and various biological populations are still multiplying in an orderly manner."

"Excluding the influence of external factors, then the sandworm's riot must be an internal factor, and the rioting sandworm is a whole, not alone and accidental, so I speculate that their riots come from the throbbing of the blood. .”

Nicolaide made a well-founded set of inferences.

Wang Dao nodded, and then asked again: "If it wasn't for environmental factors, could it be that the tribe hunted and killed the sandworms, leading to riots?"

"Impossible. In order to increase the price of sandworm oil, West Germany has previously stipulated that the hunting of sandworms should be orderly and not indiscriminate." Nikolai shook his head and explained, "I see According to the information, in fact, the hunting and killing of sandworms by the tribe today is not as much as that of the Tanit tribe before."

Wang Dao nodded, with a gloomy face on his face: "Okay, I know a little about the origin of the sandworms. If it is because of their blood that caused them to go berserk, then the problem is a bit serious. I will deal with it. In the near future, the exploration team will be withdrawn." Let's go out, and concentrate on manpower to deal with the dead zone problem first."

The blood of the sandworm comes from an ancient dragon, so he is so immortal. Today's deserts and rainforests, as well as the entire Sumeru, are the territory of that ancient dragon.

"It seems that we need to discuss it with Naxida." Wang Daoyi thought in his heart.

Naturally, he would not search for that ancient existence alone, even if he originally had this idea,

But after thinking of the future picture I saw in Yuanxia Palace, this idea also turned into discussing with Nashida.

He had a vague premonition that the giant beast in the yellow sand was the master of the sandworms, the ancient dragon that ruled all plants and trees.

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Wang Daoyi looked at Sid again: "Apart from these, is there anything else?"

Sid thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "There is one more thing. It's not a big deal."

Seeing Sid's hesitation, Wang Daoyi shook his head: "Speak up, don't hesitate, just speak up if you have something to say."

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Sid showed a wry smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the construction of the temple has been overrun by the scholars of Kavey more than a dozen times. I would like to ask, should we continue to invest?"

Originally, Sid was very supportive of Kawi. After all, Sid had only one sun in his heart, and that was the Lord of Red Sand, Wang Daoyi.

And Kawei's job is to build a temple for Wang Daoyi, which belongs to adding bricks and tiles to the glory of the Lord of Red Sand.

However, this kind of support gradually turned into hesitation after Kavi overtook more than a dozen times.

After all, it was originally for Kawei to design and build the supporting buildings for the statue,

Later, the design of Kawei became more and more exquisite. Now, the statues are almost not as attractive as those temples.

"Kavi." Wang Dao froze for a moment, then changed his perspective to the perspective of the statue, overlooking the entire area of ​​the statue.

The original simple building has become an exquisite building complex, with a huge statue of God in the center,
However, under Wang Daoyi's penetrating sight, it can be seen that the interior of those exquisite buildings has not been decorated much.

However, with this scale, it's no wonder that Sid, a fanatical believer in Wang Daoyi, would hesitate.

The perspective changed, and he switched back to the tent.

"Tell Carvey, don't expand the temple anymore, just maintain it now. In addition, make use of the temple, don't leave it empty, it can be properly converted into a collection room, library, alchemy room and other essential places."

Wang Daoyi didn't need a huge temple, and no matter how huge the temple was, it wouldn't bring him any real benefits. It was mainly a cosmetic project to maintain the pride of the tribe.

Let the people of the sand see the temples and statues standing in the desert, which is conducive to rule and stability.

Just like the spectacle in the game, it is really useful if it is said to be useful, but it doesn't seem to be that useful.

Therefore, transforming the vacant temple into some practical rooms can be regarded as resource reuse.

Under the main seat, Sid nodded repeatedly after listening to Wang Daoyi's words.

After talking about the temple, Wang Daoyi asked again: "Well, is there anything else? Is there any news from the rainforest?"

"It's nothing serious, and I can take care of the rest of the small things." Sid shook his head, "Over the rainforest, I just sent a message a few days ago, saying that everything is normal."

"Okay." Wang Dao nodded, stretched out his hand, and a picture scroll emerged with several figures on it.

This is Wang Daoyi's restoration of the picture scroll based on the future picture he saw in Yuanxia Palace.

The figure above is the desert scholar who met Wang Daoyi in the temple in the future screen.

"Sid, take this scroll and tell everyone to check it carefully. If you find someone similar to the above, report to me in time."

Sid reached out to take the picture scroll floating towards him, and first took a closer look, um, he didn't recognize any of them,
Then he solemnly put away the scroll: "Yes, my God."

Seeing that Sid put away the scroll, Wang Daoyi looked at Nigreid: "Let's go, now go and see the elemental life you mentioned."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the camp. It seemed that he knew where his destination was without someone leading the way.

There was a glimmer of light in Niguled's eyes, and he had some guesses,

Perhaps, in this area belonging to Chisha, the Lord of Chisha really 'knows everything'.

When I got out of the tent, I saw the two sisters watching boredly,

As soon as Wang Dao came out, the two sisters looked at him eagerly.

"You two should keep up too. Usually, when I'm not around, there's no need to stay here all the time."

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, the two sisters were a little anxious: "This is not acceptable, my lord, this is your residence. In case any young people sneak in, then..."

Wang Dao waved his hand and interrupted Kai'Sa's words: "I will live in the temple in the future, you should go to the temple together."

"Yes, my lord." Hearing that Wang Daoyi was going to take them to live in the temple, the two sisters immediately abandoned it.

They just want to stay by Wang Daoyi's side and get closer to their gods.

Ignoring the two sisters who started to have small stars in their eyes, Wang Daoyi walked towards the central forest.

In his previous perception, the so-called elemental life was resting in the forest.

Obviously, not only did Nigreid not forcefully study it, he even gave this elemental life a certain degree of freedom, without imprisoning it in a cage.

All the way to the central forest, affected by the forest and lake, the temperature here has dropped a lot, and a cool breeze flows here.

At the entrance of the forest, Niguled stretched out his hand and patted it, as if calling for elemental life,
Soon, there was a rustling sound in the forest, and after a while, a tall and strong Lu Xingyan Motomoto mushroom came out of the forest with five slightly smaller Lu Xingyan Motomoto mushrooms.

The leader Lu Xingyan Motosuke showed a friendly expression when he saw Nigulide, and then saw Wang Daoyi on the side, and immediately showed a hint of vigilance and vigilance.

However, after seeing Wang Daoyi, the five rock mushroom beasts who were originally following behind the leading land-walking rock mushroom beast,
He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then sniffed humanly, as if sniffing something.

Finally, their eyes lit up, and they moved towards Wang Daoyi.

"Gululu, Gululu~"

They came to Wang Daoyi's side and made joyful sounds.

Looking at these Lu Xingyan real mushrooms, a memory that was almost forgotten by him came to Wang Daoyi's mind.

A smile appeared in his eyes, and Wang Dao stretched out his hand to touch the mushroom head of the mushroom beast beside him: "So it's you, long time no see."

That's right, these five Lu Xingyan real mushrooms are the group of mushroom beasts that Wang Daoyi subdued when he first came to the Great Red Sand Sea.

At the beginning, Wang Daoyi's ley line shuttle technology was still very general, and he needed to shuttle at fixed points, so he set a ley line point in a desert ruins.

By the way, the mushroom beasts in the ruins were captured for security.

At that time, they were still ordinary mushroom beasts, and it was Wang Dao's gang who promoted Lu Xingyan's real mushroom as a reward for guarding the ley line point.

Later, Wang Daoyi became more and more proficient in the field vein shuttle technique, so he forgot about that remote point.

Unexpectedly, these mushroom beasts actually came to the Chisha tribe.

"Huh? Lord of Red Sand, do you know these mushroom beasts?" On the side, Nigreid watched Wang Daoyi's intimate interaction with the mushroom beasts, showing a trace of curiosity.

As if teasing a puppy, he stretched out his hand and scratched the chin of the mushroom beast, Wang Dao nodded a little: "Yes, speaking of it, they are my earliest 'followers'."

As he said that, Wang Daoyi looked at the huge and strong Lu Xingyan Motomoto: "Then, who are you? Why are you with them?"

From the way the mushroom beasts came out just now, it can be seen that this mushroom beast, which is not a mushroom beast, has established a leadership position among the group of real mushrooms in Lu Xingyan.

The huge and strong mushroom beast heard Wang Daoyi's question, but did not answer, but looked at Niguled.

Compared with Wang Daoyi who brought him a sense of threat, it is still more willing to believe in Niguide who brought it back.

"This is the Lord of Red Sand, that is, the owner of this land, you can trust him." Nigreid nodded to the huge and strong fungus.

"Lord of Red Sand? I feel it, powerful light, fiery light, endless light, like the [King] in memory."

The giant mushroom beast spoke.

For the other party to speak, Wang Daoyi was not surprised. After all, the other party was just like a mushroom beast, essentially an elemental life, and an extremely pure elemental life. It is not difficult to learn human beings.

"It seems that you are very old and the story is very long, but I have enough time to listen to your story."

There was interest in Wang Dao's eyes.

"Tell me first, what are you?"

The giant Iwamoto Maki hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about whether to tell Wang Daoyi,

Wang Daoyi didn't urge him, just waited like this.

After a few breaths, the giant fungus still spoke: "I am an elemental spirit born in the garden. Our master has been polluted, making our home unsuitable for living. We left our home and started looking for someone to save it. Method."

"Where is the garden?" Wang Daoyi asked.

"The garden is the world conceived by the lord of vegetation, and it is the most beautiful place. However, now the lord of vegetation has fallen into pollution, and the garden has also been polluted."

Wang Daoyi immediately captured an adjective: "Lord of plants and trees?"

The giant mushroom beast nodded slowly: "The original owner of Xumi, the original owner of grass and trees, is also our home, the dragon of grass, Apepu."

A trace of excitement appeared in his eyes, and Wang Daoyi immediately asked: "Are you or you, are the followers of Apepu, the Dragon of Grass?"

Unfortunately, faced with this problem, the giant fungus shook its head: "That's not the case, [Homeland]'s subordinates are huge elemental beings that you call sandworms, and we, rather than our subordinates, are actually more like [Homeland] 】The appendages of birth, we, are part of the 【Homeland】.”

Listening to the words of the giant fungus beast, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly. Although the words of the giant fungus beast were a bit convoluted, Wang Daoyi could understand.

"Then have you found a way to heal your homeland?" Wang Daoyi asked again.

The giant mushroom beast nodded: "I found it. The great king of grass promised us that he will clean up all the filth. As long as the time comes, we can go home."

Wang Dao nodded, he knew that the king of grass mentioned by the other party must not refer to Apepu, the dragon of grass, because Apepu himself is the object to be saved.

It can't be Nasida, because the current Nasida can't save Apep.

Then it can only be King Dacishu.

[Sure enough, the shadow of Istaru is right. The wisdom of the Dacishu King is enough for him to see the future. Some fallen gods have calculated into the future. 】

Wang Daoyi thought in his heart.

Then, Wang Daoyi looked at the giant mushroom beast and asked the final question: "Then, why did you appear here?"

Slightly stunned for a moment, the giant fungus understood Wang Daoyi's question, and turned to look in the direction of Qianhe Sandy Land: "The promise of the King of Grass has not yet come, but [Homeland] is in pain, we have to rush back to [Homeland] ], return your elemental power to Him, and help [Homeland] resist erosion."

There was a look of shock in his eyes, and Wang Daoyi was a little puzzled: "You said, you want to return the elemental power to Apepu? Are you coming back to die?"

"It's not about dying, it's about [going home]." The giant mushroom beast shook its head, denying Wang Daoyi's statement.

Wang Daoyi was silent for a while, and quickly understood part of the other party's ideas.

For this kind of elemental life born from Apep, they themselves are part of Apep, and returning themselves to Apep is itself a return behavior, and naturally it is not a "send to death".

However, from Wang Daoyi's human perspective,

These elemental mushroom beasts are all intelligent beings, and their behavior of returning elemental power is 'send to death'.

After all, without the elemental power, these elemental mushroom beasts will naturally dissipate.
