Tsumugi Kujo walked towards the unarmed priests and nuns with a grim smile. Half an hour later, with blood on her body, Tsumugi Kujo hugged the Witch of Gun and did not even go back to the inn, but ran out of Mondstadt directly.
This incident is too serious, we must leave Mondstadt and seek refuge.
PS: Did everyone draw the characters they wanted? I didn’t, so I saved up the primogems and waited for Grass God or Thunder God.
Chapter 105: Branches of the Honeysuckle Tree
On the way when Tsumugi Kujo and the Witch of the Spear were fleeing to the Wolf Territory, after more than half a month of tracking, the Kanreya Exploration Team on Tsumugi's side finally found what they wanted - a branch of a dead honeysuckle tree.
During the Demon War, the snow-capped mountains were a lush and vibrant paradise thanks to the protection of the honeysuckle trees. However, the Frost Nail from the sky destroyed everything.
When the honeysuckle tree was about to die, the last princess of Findenir preserved the most complete branches, hoping that one day it would come back to life and protect its people, but unfortunately, even until her death, the princess never saw this scene.
However, a thousand years later, a blond traveler from another world accidentally made the honeysuckle tree bloom again.
The essence of the Honeysuckle Tree is actually an extension of the earth veins. Due to unknown reasons, the earth veins have revealed their tip here, and the Mond man Faruhi established the Kingdom of Findnir under the protection of the earth veins, but this is something that heaven cannot tolerate, so he used long spikes that can freeze the sky to end this paradise for humans in this troubled times - this description comes from the notebook of "Gold", the chief alchemist of the Kingdom of Kanreya in previous simulations.
These Kanriya people collected the branches of the earth veins, surely they wanted to use them to study the power of the earth veins?
The puppet Tsumugi was hiding in the dark and observing everything. At this time, she suddenly saw several Kanreya people gathered together to watch something, so she sneaked closer and finally heard what they were talking about.
"I am the last one. There is no need for me to stay any longer. I heard that someone is building a transition to Godlessness. Maybe they also have the power to fight against the world... There is no other content behind the notebook."
It seems that these people have found the notebook of someone in the Kingdom of Findenir and are reading its contents.
"We clearly helped them in the early days of the establishment of this kingdom, but we didn't expect that they would forget about us." A man was somewhat dissatisfied with this.
"But it also shows that we have indeed stayed underground for too long, so long that other countries have forgotten our existence."
"The Frost Sky Nail... Could it be that the Ice God destroyed this country? As expected, the Seven Gods will never allow a kingdom built by humans to exist in this world..."
A group of Kanria people gathered together to discuss, but Tsumugi lost interest after listening for a while. Tsumugi could infer the information they said from the game, so she just felt bored.
However, the puppet Tsumugi is quite interested in the branches of the honeysuckle tree.
In the game, if players upgrade the Honeysuckle Tree, they will get various rewards. But if they upgrade the Honeysuckle Tree to the maximum level in reality, will the system give them some rewards, such as completing a hidden task?
Then there is only one answer.
When the Kanreya exploration team collected the branches of the honeysuckle tree and prepared to return, the puppet Tsumugi took action. While everyone was not paying attention, the puppet Tsumugi launched an unsportsmanlike sneak attack. The pitch-black spear condensed by black flames in his hand directly pierced the chaos furnace core of a Ruins Guard, instantly killing one of the Ruins Guards, and then quickly rushed towards the second Ruins Guard.
Tsumugi had no idea what the designer of the Ruins Guard was thinking. He actually designed the important Chaos Core to be so obvious that the only thing missing was to hang a sign on it that read "There is no Chaos Core Here".
Maybe the other party thought that this small flaw was insignificant? After all, the guy who could rush to the ruins guard with powerful firepower would definitely be able to easily break the ruins guard's defense. From this point of view, the protection of the Chaos Furnace Core seemed a bit useless.
The sneak attack by the puppet Tsumugi really caught the Kanreya people off guard. By the time they reacted, the second Ruins Guard had already been scrapped.
However, even if these Kanreyas reacted, it would not be of much use. Reality is not a game. Here, teammates can be hurt. A group of Ruins Guards are crowded together, and any attack may hit other Ruins Guards. In addition, the puppet Tsumugi intentionally used other Kanreyas and Ruins Guards as shields. As a result, every time the Ruins Guards used missiles to fire, the damage to the puppet Tsumugi was negligible, but each time it would lead to the death and scrapping of other Kanreyas and Ruins Guards.
But this battle was still a tough one for Tsumugi. Because she didn't know whether her physical strength could withstand the missiles of the Ruins Guards, she didn't dare to take risks and could only try her best to avoid all attacks of the Ruins Guards. Finally, after fighting hard for more than an hour, Tsumugi finally won and blew up the last Ruins Guard, but her condition also became very bad, her kimono became tattered, and one arm was injured.
After dealing with all the ruins guards, the puppet Tsumugi came to the leader of the Kanria people.
"Give me the branch of the honeysuckle tree, or die."
These Kanria people had just witnessed the entire battle of the puppet Tsumugi, so they certainly did not dare to anger her and obediently handed over the branches of the honeysuckle tree.
"Very good, you made the right decision." The puppet Tsumugi nodded with great satisfaction. Since these Kanria people were so sensible, she was too lazy to spend time eliminating them.
The puppet Tsumugi left with the branch of the honeysuckle tree, leaving behind a group of unarmed Kanreya people.
"Leader, what should we do now?" A man asked with a sad face. They, the researchers, had no fighting ability at all. Without the help of the ruins guards, there was no way they could get out of the snow mountain alive. That was why they didn't take the opportunity to escape during the battle just now.
“What else can we do? Dismantle all the tilling machines here and see if we can use good parts to assemble a few new ones. Otherwise, we’re all going to die here,” said the leader.
……
After obtaining the branch of the honeysuckle tree, the puppet Tsumugi came to a remote place in the snowy mountains and inserted the branch into the ground.
Then all we have to do is collect scarlet chalcedony and water the honeysuckle tree. Let me think about what we need to do to collect scarlet chalcedony.
Complete timed challenges... Defeat the Fatui... Defeat the Hilichurls... Dig through dumpsters... Wander around the map...
amount……
It was not until this time that Tsumugi realized one thing. It seemed that she didn't know how to collect scarlet chalcedony.
Reality is not a game. Scarlet chalcedony cannot be everywhere on the streets, otherwise the Kingdom of Findenir would not have been unable to find a way to revive the Honeysuckle Tree thousands of years ago.
"The honeysuckle tree... the extension of the earth veins... the earth veins..."
This touches upon Tsumugi's blind spot in knowledge. In the game, apart from the Honeysuckle Tree, the Hidden Gold Flower, the Revelation Flower, and the Old Branch of the Earth Vein that drops after killing the Abyss Cultist, there seems to be no other items directly related to the Earth Vein.
The puppet Tsumugi tried hard to recall the contents of the "Golden" notebook in the previous simulation. He had put forward a very bold hypothesis in the notebook, that is, the ley lines and the abyss are actually different names for the same existence. It is just a summary of all the past and future information of the continent of Teyvat, recording all the information of the continent of Teyvat.
However, because the ley lines can "pollute" humans and turn them into monsters, humans gave it the name "the abyss".
And due to some unknown reasons, some extremely powerful beings can use the power of the earth veins to enhance their own strength. These beings were later called "demons" by humans.
If "a powerful being that uses the earth's veins to increase its own strength" is the definition of a demon, then can Kanreya use his own technology to create a mechanical demon of his own?
For humans like Kanreya who have no protection from demons, it is very necessary to have a powerful existence to protect themselves. Therefore, they began to develop their own mechanical demons with the whole country's strength... However, Kanreya was destroyed by the joint attack of the Seven Gods before the final results were produced. But even the half-finished mechanical demon showed super combat effectiveness, and destroyed two demons in the joint attack of the Seven Gods.
If we extend the theory of "gold" further, why can the demons use the power of the earth veins to enhance their own strength? Is it because the power in their bodies is originally the same as the earth veins?
The puppet Tsumugi took off the original evil eye from her body.
The evil eye was created by the doctor using the residue of the demon. If Huang Jin's theory is completely correct... the puppet Tsumugi threw the evil eye to the root of the honeysuckle tree, and then the evil eye immediately emanated an ominous black aura belonging to the demon, which was then absorbed by the honeysuckle tree.
A few minutes later, the power of the evil eye completely disappeared and it turned into an ordinary ornament, while the honeysuckle tree grew several times larger visible to the naked eye. At first, it was just a branch the size of an arm's length and a bowl's mouth, but now it has grown into a small tree nearly one meter tall.
I remember that the honeysuckle tree in the game is much taller than a human being. How long will I have to be busy with this...
However, the puppet Tsumugi was not discouraged. As long as she knew how to make the honeysuckle tree grow, it would be easy. All she had to do was exit the immersive mode and let the puppet Tsumugi enter the "hosting" mode to slowly collect things with earth energy.
As for what that thing is...haha, didn’t I say before that the energy of the earth veins will transform humans into monsters, so there must be residual earth vein energy on the monster’s body.
There are quite a few hillbillies in the snowy mountains. They used to be citizens of the Findnir Kingdom. After the Frost Nail fell, they became monsters for various reasons. As long as their corpses are used as fertilizer, the honeysuckle tree can grow smoothly.
Oh, by the way, there are also the ruins guards who were just eliminated. Tsumugi felt that the Chaos Core Dolls on them were useless and did not recycle them. Now it seems necessary to go back and get them.
After deciding what to do next, Tsumugi Kujo exited the immersion mode and let Tsumugi do the troublesome things herself.
[26 years old: It has been several months since you and the Witch of the Spear successfully escaped to the Wolf Territory. During these months, Mondstadt has been in complete chaos.]
[Due to the death of Erberhart, the Lawrence family suddenly became leaderless, and the family split into several factions over the selection of successors, and immediately fell into civil strife. Other nobles took advantage of the internal strife of the Lawrence family to show their fangs. ]
[Some nobles want to overthrow the Lawrence family and take their place. Some nobles are fanning the flames and trying to muddy the waters for profit. There is chaos in Mondstadt, and the situation outside Mondstadt is not much better.]
[Though those small nobles outside Mondstadt did not openly oppose Lawrence, they also made small moves, each of them established their own territory and became a small emperor. The rule of the Lawrence family outside Mondstadt was in name only.]
[Under the rule of the Lawrence family, the nobles in Mondstadt could maintain basic peace before. But now, there have been several armed conflicts among the small nobles outside the city. Although they are only small-scale conflicts, everyone can see that if the Lawrence family does not stop them, the scale of the armed conflicts will only get bigger and bigger.]
[However, the Lawrence family did not stop the war because of their own little calculations, and acquiesced to the war between the nobles. After confirming that the Lawrence family had no intention of stopping it, the nobles outside Mondstadt stopped the private army one after another. Soon, more than a dozen forces of varying sizes appeared in Mondstadt, and Mondstadt completely fell into civil strife. ]
[However, when Mondstadt was in civil strife, Vanessa remained calm and did not take the opportunity to join the Knights in the chaotic war. Firstly, the Knights were not strong enough, and secondly, Vanessa was worried that the Knights' official appearance would cause other nobles to unite against her and she would become a prey on others' chopping boards.]
[You and the Witch of the Gun lived a simple life in the Wolf Territory. You have been living in Mondstadt for many years and have to stay alert at all times. It has been a long time since you have lived such a leisurely life. You regarded this period of time as a rare vacation.]
[Afterwards, you will give the Ceremony of the Imperial Clan to Vanessa and ask her to help check the properties of this set of five-star holy relics.]
coming!
Upon seeing this message, Kujo Tsumugi immediately perked up, staring at the information on the system with wide eyes, afraid of ignoring a single word.
[The effect of the Royal Family Ceremony of the Past is: two-piece effect: after wearing, the elemental damage caused increases by 20%; four-piece effect: according to the purity of the noble blood in the body, the user's physical fitness is greatly improved. ]
After learning about the effects of the four-piece set of the Imperial Ceremony of the Past, both Kujo Tsumugi in the Sims and in reality fell silent.
The purity of noble blood... let alone Kujo Tsumugi in the simulation, even in reality she doesn't have noble blood in her body.
Kujo Tsumugi is a noble, but she is an adopted monster, so it is impossible for her to have noble blood in her body, which means that she has no way of making full use of the effects of this four-piece set of holy relics.
At this moment, Kujo Tsumugi felt like seeing a golden light flashing when drawing a card. When she was extremely excited, she suddenly heard the character she drew say, "I am Qiqi, a zombie."
If you fail to draw a card in the game, you can still encourage yourself to continue saving up primogems and start over, but now looking at the attributes of the Former Royal Family Ceremony, Kujo Tsumugi is really in trouble.
Is such a piece of utter garbage worth choosing this reward at the last minute?
Chapter 106 Knights, take office in Mondstadt!
[The four-piece set effect of the Imperial Ceremony of the Past made you stunned on the spot. Looking at the top-grade garbage in your hand, you didn't know whether you should cry out loud. ]
[After returning to your room, you threw the royal family rituals of the past under the bed. ]
[This year, the puppet Tsumugi spent a year killing hillbillies and slimes in the snowy mountains, and the honeysuckle tree has grown to the height of an adult male. ]
[27 years old: After a year of dormancy, Vanessa finally decided to lead the Knights to formally launch an uprising against the Lawrence family.]
[Because of your relationship with Vanessa, you and the Witch of the Spear easily became the captains of the Knights. The Witch of the Spear, who is more powerful, served as the combat captain and led the Knights to fight on the front line. Because you know medical skills, Vanessa appointed you as the logistics minister, responsible for protecting the supply of materials on the front line and treating the wounded.]
[Although this is the case, in fact, there is basically no real "front line" in this battle. At the beginning of the battle, due to insufficient strength, the Witch of the Spear could only lead some elites to sneak into the nobles' mansions to assassinate the nobles. However, as the battle progressed, more and more people took the initiative to join the team against the Knights, and the Knights began to gain an advantage in numbers. Later, when people in many regions heard that someone had begun to resist the corrupt rule of the nobles, they also followed the actions of the Witch of the Spear and organized people to attack the nobles' mansions and overthrow the rule of those nobles. For a time, Mondstadt was full of scenes of vitality and everything competing.]
[Mond has suffered from the Lawrence family for a long time. When they saw the fangs and claws of Lawrence, the monster, showing signs of fatigue, the anger that the people had accumulated before suddenly erupted, successfully catching the Lawrence family, who had just solved the issue of succession, off guard.]
[The Lawrence family wanted to send soldiers to suppress Vanessa's uprising, but was stopped by the Gunhild family. ]
[The Gunhild family, like the Lawrence family, was one of the three major families when Mondstadt was founded. However, unlike the extravagant Lawrence family, even now, the Gunhild family still adheres to the oath of "forever protecting Mondstadt" and has not become involved with the Lawrence family. However, it is precisely because of this that the Gunhild family is rejected by all other nobles, and the family's strength is getting weaker day by day. ]
[The Gunhild family knew that although the knights outside Mondstadt were making a lot of noise, once the Lawrence family sent soldiers to suppress them, the knights would be defeated. After all, those people were just a group of militiamen gathered together, and their strength was not as good as the well-equipped and well-trained Lawrence soldiers.]
[In order to protect the rebels who were against the Lawrence family, the Gunhild family and the Lawrence family completely broke off relations. When the Lawrence family soldiers were preparing to go out of the city to encircle and suppress Vanessa's Knights, they ran into the Gunhild family soldiers who had been prepared at the gate of Mond. The two teams almost came to the point of fighting each other. In the end, the new head of the Lawrence family admitted his mistake and gave up going out of the city to encircle and suppress the Knights.]
[The Gunnhild family has clearly shown an attitude of fighting to the death. If they force a war, even if the Lawrence family can defeat the Gunnhild family in the end, it will inevitably cause great damage to their own strength. In this special period of time with internal and external troubles, the Lawrence family can only take a step back temporarily. ]
[However, just because the Lawrence family could not take action did not mean that other nobles would not take action. Under the suggestion of the Lawrence family, a group of nobles took the initiative to request to go out of the city to suppress the bandits. And this time, the Gunnhild family did not dare to stop them.]
[Angering the Lawrence family has already made the Gunhild family's situation even worse. If they stop these noble soldiers, then the Gunhild family will inevitably be opposed by all the nobles in Mondstadt. In that case, the Gunhild family will not be far from extinction.]
[Although the Gunhild family did not stop the subsequent noble coalition, Vanessa was very moved after hearing about this. With the help of Kryuzlid, after several months of negotiations, the Gunhild family finally joined the rebels.]
[As soon as the noble coalition joined the battlefield, the expansion of the Knights was indeed hindered. Although Vanessa and the Witch of the Spear fought hard on the front line, the combat effectiveness of the Knights was still inferior to that of the noble coalition. The victory in a local area could not save the overall situation.]
[This year, Tsumugi has been killing hillbillies and slimes in the snowy mountains for another year, and the honeysuckle tree has grown to nearly three meters high. ]
[28 years old: At this time, the war situation has reached a stalemate. Although the Knights cannot defeat the noble coalition on the front battlefield, they are numerous and have the support of the people of Mondstadt, so they can persist on the battlefield. ]
[Because the war situation on the front line was tense, the Gun Witch rarely wrote to you, and you felt very lonely. Unconsciously, you and the Gun Witch have known each other for fifteen years. The time you spent with the Gun Witch even exceeded the time you spent with your parents. To you, she is your friend, family, and lover. Therefore, you feel very uncomfortable with life without the Gun Witch. ]
[In the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain area, due to the mass killings by Tsumugi in the past two years, all the hillocks and slimes around the Honeysuckle Tree were wiped out by Tsumugi. Every time Tsumugi had to walk for several days to encounter a hillock or slime, and bringing the bodies of the hillocks back to the Honeysuckle Tree was a physically demanding task. Tsumugi began to think about how to solve this problem.]
[Later, Tsumugi built a slime ranch and a hillman ranch near the honeysuckle tree, and captured some monsters and locked them up there to study how to raise monsters, but the results of the research were not ideal.]
[Because Tsumugi is studying the reproduction methods of slimes and hillbillies, the honeysuckle tree has only grown one meter this year. ]
[29 years old: The Witch of the Gun has been gone for two years. I miss her.]
[The place where the Spear Witch is located is only half a month away from the Wolf Territory, but because of your responsibilities, you cannot leave at will. You begin to feel pain, and your longing for the Spear Witch has begun to affect your normal work. ]
[A few months later, Vanessa was withdrawn from the front line. You were the first to greet her and expressed your hope to be transferred to the front line, but Vanessa refused.]
[The reason why Vanessa rejected you is very simple, because your role is too important. In the past few years, you have used your superb medical skills to save the lives of countless soldiers. Your reputation in the Knights is second only to Vanessa. She really doesn't dare and doesn't want to transfer you to the front line. Even though she knows that your skills are far superior to ordinary people, things on the battlefield change rapidly, and she didn't protect your confidence. However, Vanessa said that she would let the Witch of the Gun come back to rest for a while, which made your impetuous heart a little relieved. ]
[Vanessa really did keep her promise. She only rested for a week in the rear before returning to the front. About a month after Vanessa left, the Witch of the Gun, whom you had waited for two years, finally returned to your side.]
[As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a new marriage. That night you were very satisfied and expressed your longing for the Witch of the Gun in a special way.]
[However, in the midst of your joy, you also noticed that the Spear Witch had a lot of new scars on her body, which made you very sad, and you even thought of leaving Mondstadt with the Spear Witch and living in seclusion in the mountains. But you gave up this idea after just a few seconds.]
[If you and the Spear Witch suddenly disappear, I'm afraid the Knights won't be able to hold out for much longer. Once the uprising fails, the people of Mond will face the crazy revenge of the Lawrence family. The Spear Witch, who is full of justice, will definitely not agree to this.]
[Unconsciously, you and the Witch of the Spear have been firmly tied to the Knights' chariot. You can only move forward along the chariot, and you have no choice. ]
[The Gun Witch stayed with you for a month before returning to the front line. You were reluctant to let her go, but you could do nothing about it. You could only hope that the war would end soon.]
[…Hero Tsumugi’s research has made a breakthrough. Slime is a special monster formed by the precipitation of various elements. Hero Tsumugi has successfully solved the problem of ice slime reproduction and successfully increased the number of ice slimes several times. The current height of the honeysuckle tree is close to the hillock frost armor rock. ]
[30 years old: There is an old saying in Liyue, "A man should be able to stand on his own feet at the age of ", which means that a person should have achieved something and be able to stand on his own feet in society at the age of . But when you look back on the past, you find that you have been busy with one event after another for most of the past years, and the only time you had to rest was the few months you spent with the Witch of the Spear when you first arrived at the Wolf Territory.]
[You are getting more and more tired and want to end this war quickly, so you use a special method - that is to constantly squeeze Wendy who is living a lazy life behind the Knights.]
[You think that as long as Wendy takes action personally, the noble coalition will be vulnerable, but he has been slow to act, so you hope to anger Wendy in this way and force him to go to the front. So you start to spread bad things about Wendy. Because of Wendy's usual style, soon everyone in the Knights hopes that Vanessa will drive Wendy away.]
[But I have to say that as long as a person is shameless, he can be invincible. This also applies to gods. You underestimated the thickness of Wendy's skin. This guy actually had the nerve to continue to eat and wait for death in the rear despite the curses of all the knights. ]
[You are completely helpless now. Although you have roughly understood what kind of person Wendy is after a few years of getting along with him, you still underestimated how thick-skinned he is.]
