[Thinking of the tragic fate of the Kingdom of Kanria, you sighed again, feeling your own powerlessness. Under the oppression of the absolute power of the gods, you, as just an alchemist, can do nothing at all.]
[The Kingdom of Kanreya is undoubtedly a great country. Its existence proves that even without the protection of gods, humans can create a brilliant civilization on their own.]
【And its demise proves that a country without the protection of gods is like bubbles in the water, which will burst at the slightest touch.】
[You don't want to find out why the Seven Gods suddenly took action to destroy a glorious country, but this action of the Seven Gods still made you confused. ]
【This move by the Seven Gods is a huge blow to the entire human race. The capital of Kanreya gathers almost all the top talents from all over the world. Apart from other things, the top talents in the alchemy industry are almost wiped out. After such a disaster, you are surprised to find that you, who have been taught by the Royal Alchemists of Kanreya and your colleagues in the Mechanical Demon Project, have become one of the few remaining bigwigs in the alchemy industry.】
[And since the top alchemy techniques have hardly been passed down, future alchemists can basically only explore from scratch. Unless a peerless genius emerges in this industry, you may become the greatest alchemist in the world in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.]
[How ironic... You are just a young alchemist under 30 years old, yet you have suddenly become a leader in the industry.]
[You feel confused by the sudden change of your identity. At this time, Barbatos, the god of wind, is hunting down the Kanreya civilians who have managed to escape. The followers of the god of wind in Mondstadt experience a serious crisis of faith. The city is in chaos. You take advantage of this opportunity to take all your belongings and leave Mondstadt, returning to your birthplace, Qingquan Town.]
[Compared to the chaotic Mondstadt, the situation in Qingquan Town is much better, and it also allows you to think carefully about your future. ]
[With your current level, you can't research anything from Ying, so you can only settle for the second best and choose other research topics, but you can't decide what research to do. ]
[Plant alchemy? Too much of a waste of time. Mechanical alchemy? I don’t have the money. Biological alchemy? I’m afraid of going astray, so I don’t dare to try.]
[The result is that you have never been able to finalize the next research direction, and you live in Qingquan Town in a daze every day. ]
[One day, when you were strolling in Qingquan Town as usual, a riot suddenly broke out in the town.]
[“A Hilliard broke into the town!”]
[No one knows who shouted, but everyone who heard this sentence hid in their homes, and the Knights of Favonius stationed in Qingquan Town also began to look for the Hilliards in the town. ]
[Since the fall of the Kingdom of Kanreya, the number of Hilichurls has increased dramatically. You know that Hilichurls are transformed from humans, and you can probably guess that these people should be the Kanreya civilians who escaped from the underground before the fall of the kingdom, but you don't know what exactly caused them to become Hilichurls.]
[You quickly rushed to the place where the Hillichurs attacked, and saw a girl with a bow and arrow lying on the ground, one of her legs bent unnaturally, obviously broken, and several Hillichurs were surrounding her, dancing a strange dance around her. You rushed forward and quickly killed those Hillichurs.]
[After your body is invaded by the earth vein energy, it becomes extremely powerful. It is easy to deal with these hillbillies. ]
[“Are you okay… Eh? Isn’t this Katzlain?” You are surprised to find that the girl you saved is actually one of your childhood playmates, Katzlain.]
"puff!"
When seeing this name, Tsumugi Kujo, who was drinking water, immediately spit out water.
The Katzlein family... Isn't this the bloodline from which the cat ears and cat tail in Diona came from...
Do I want to have a relationship with Diona's ancestors? Forget it. I just tricked Diona a few days ago.
Kujo Tsumugi had a very bad feeling in his heart.
[“Tsumugi…” Obviously, Katzlein recognized you, but she was not good at expressing her emotions, so she just called out your name softly.]
[“Stop talking. I’ll take you to see a doctor.” You found some materials nearby to fix Ketzlain’s legs, and then made a simple stretcher. When a Knight of Favonius passed by, you asked him to help you carry Ketzlain to the clinic.]
[After the treatment, you took Katzlein to her home, but found her home unexpectedly deserted.]
[“Where are your parents?” You couldn’t help but ask. ]
[“He died in the attack by the Hillicrucians a month ago.” Ketzlein replied.]
[With his legs like this, he can't live alone... You frowned as you looked at Katzline in a wheelchair, then sighed.]
[I can’t help it. I am a good person.]
[“You can’t take care of yourself now, so let me take care of you.”]
[“You’ve already saved my life, how can I still let you take care of me!” Katzlein, who had been calm all along, said in a slightly hurried tone and began to resist.]
[However, with his leg wounded, Ketzlein was powerless to resist and was easily taken back home by you.]
[“This is the bathroom, but you can’t take a shower now, so let me help you wipe your body. Then this is the toilet…” You begin to introduce the functions of each room to Katzline, “And this is the bedroom.”]
[You push Katzlein's wheelchair into the bedroom, and both of you see Ying lying naked on the bed.]
【"she is……"】
[“Ah! This!” You explained in a panic: “Because I have the habit of sleeping with someone in my arms, I made a doll for myself. You know, I’m an alchemist.”]
[Big failure, you actually forgot about Ying's existence, you regret it in your heart. ]
[But Katzlein obviously believed you. She nodded and said, "If you don't mind... you can hold me while sleeping in your arms in the future. Just consider it as my reward for living here."]
Chapter 159: Fight against the Demon Dragon Durin again and reverse the death outcome?
[After hearing what Katzlein said, you were stunned for a moment, then looked at her with surprise.]
[Katesline...Isn't she greedy for my body?]
[Although you know this is a wishful thinking, Katzlein's poor statement still makes you subconsciously think wrongly.]
[“No, it’s not that troublesome, why would I need to pay you.” You smiled and shook your head. Although Mondstadt is in a state of chaos right now, Mondstadt will definitely not have no reaction to Qingquan Town being attacked by the Hilliculers. They will definitely strengthen Qingquan Town’s defense and call some Water God Eye owners to treat the injured. You only need to take care of Ketzlaine for a week at most.]
[“Well, thank you for your help.” Katzlein replied politely.]
[Then you and Katzlaine lived a peaceful daily life. Although she was your childhood playmate, the relationship between you two was limited because you devoted most of your energy to alchemy. After hearing that you had become an excellent alchemist, Katzlaine lowered her head in inferiority. Her family was a traditional Mondstadt hunter family. Although Katzlaine became an excellent hunter at a young age under the influence of her father, the profession of hunter was several levels lower than that of alchemist.]
[You noticed Katzrein's mood and quickly changed the subject: "Actually, the work of an alchemist is not as good as you think. I haven't achieved any results in several years..." You began to complain to Katzrein.]
[Alchemy is a very expensive industry. Each time you use the synthesis table, you need a certain amount of Mora. Although the amount is not particularly large, it is too frequent. Previously, it was the Kingdom of Kanreya that funded your research in secret. Now the sponsor is gone. If you can't produce some research results, I'm afraid you can only go out to work. ]
[“Besides, I stay in my room every day, and my health is getting worse and worse…”]
[“Poor health? Do you mean that you were able to defeat those hillbillies in just a few moves?” Ketzlain couldn’t help but complain.]
[“I didn’t lie to you. My physical condition wasn’t that good before. It’s just that something happened in the past two years that made me so strong.” You explained.]
[“So alchemy can enhance a person’s physical strength?” For some reason, you feel that Katzlein’s eyes light up immediately after hearing this, “Um… can you help me too…”]
[“No! Absolutely not!” You interrupted Katzlein, shaking your head like a drum, “Don’t be ridiculous, this kind of human body modification can easily lead to death!”]
[“I’m not afraid of death.” Ketzlein looked at you eagerly, “I want to become stronger!”]
[Uh... How come there is another person who is seeking to become stronger...]
[You see some of Silk's shadow in Katzlein.]
[“Can I ask why you want to become stronger?”]
[“To avenge my parents!” Ketzlein clenched his fists and answered without hesitation, “Those monsters killed my parents, I absolutely… I absolutely cannot let them go!” Ketzlein’s expression became distorted by hatred.]
[If you have this kind of thought, I will not dare to perform body modification on you...]
[You thought with tears in your eyes, and then decisively rejected Katzlein's request.]
[In the short period of one week that followed, Katzlaine asked you countless times to perform body modification on her, but you rejected all of these requests. Until the priest sent by Mondstadt healed Katzlaine's leg injury, Katzlaine did not move out of your house, but continued to pester you.]
[28 years old: This year, a monster appeared in Mondstadt and wreaked havoc everywhere—the dragon Durin.]
[When the magic dragon Durin flew over Qingquan Town, you immediately sensed the pure and rich earth vein energy in its body. Needless to say, this is another poor guy who has been "contaminated" by the earth vein energy.]
[Under the rampage of the demon dragon Durin, the people of Mondstadt are living a worse life. However, these things have nothing to do with you. You are still stuck in the alchemy workshop carrying out your own research.]
[You planted some sweet flowers in the yard, and then watered them with your own blood containing earth vein energy. As a result, nine out of ten sweet flowers grew into a monster called a cheating flower, and one did not grow into a cheating flower, but a lot of crystal butterflies emerged.]
【Through this experiment, we can know that the reason why slimes, lily flowers, hillbillies, and the dragon Durin in the sky were born was because of the "contamination" of the earth vein energy. It can be seen that the earth vein energy is "toxic" to any life form in the future. However, this raises another question for you. The blood of Ganyu that you obtained before also has earth vein energy, but she did not become a hillbilly. What is the reason?】
[Before you figured out the answer to this question, another piece of news from Mondstadt immediately startled you.]
[The Knights of Favonius have decided to organize an expedition to destroy the dragon Durin that has been wreaking havoc in Mondstadt recently, and the leader of the expedition is the deputy leader of the Knights of Favonius, "Young Wolf" Rustan.]
[This news makes you in Qingquan Town feel uneasy all of a sudden.]
[That guy Rustan...is he still dreaming of confessing his love to me after killing the dragon Durin?]
[Normally, Rustam, who had been politely rejected by you, should have given up. However, when you think of the joke you made before about "killing the dragon", you feel uneasy.]
[Before you decide whether to go to Mondstadt to find Rustan and make him give up, you hear another piece of news: the expedition has set off! ]
[So you immediately made up your mind to find Rustan before the expedition team arrived at the snowy mountains and explain the situation to him.]
[As you were packing up and preparing to leave, Katzlein, who had slept in the same bed with you for more than a year, noticed your actions and stopped you.]
[“You want to leave here? Take me with you.”]
[“No, I have to go find Rustan right away. I’m just leaving for the time being!” You said anxiously, carrying your backpack and planning to leave, but Katzline blocked the door.]
[“Take me with you.” Katzlein’s words were still concise and to the point.]
[“I’m really just leaving temporarily. Can’t I leave Ying and the synthesis platform here as collateral?” You know that Katzline is afraid that you will just run away, so you said hurriedly.]
[“You have to do human body modification for me after you come back, otherwise I will never let you leave.”]
[“Are you waiting for me here…” It’s been a long time since Katzlein asked you to perform body modification on her. You thought she had given up on this plan a long time ago, but you didn’t expect that she had just hidden her ambition and was waiting for this moment.]
[“Okay, I promise you!” Looking at Katzlein’s determined eyes, you knew that if you didn’t agree, she would definitely try her best to stop you, so you had no choice but to agree.]
[“Hmm…” Katzlein nodded in satisfaction and let you go.]
[After leaving Qingquan Town, you headed non-stop towards the direction of the expedition team, but the weather was not good. It rained heavily for several days after you left Qingquan Town, and you were forced to slow down. Although you hurried on after the weather cleared up, you were still a step late. When you arrived at the village closest to Longji Snow Mountain and asked, you learned that the expedition team had left the village and entered the snow mountain area two days ago.]
[Now you are in a dilemma. Although you have prepared adventure equipment for the snowy mountains, tracking others in the snowy mountains is a real technical job. The heavy snow will cover the traces of the expedition team... To be honest, you don't have the confidence to find the expedition team. This is, you decide...]
[1. Go into the snowy mountains and take a gamble! Maybe you can find Rustan? ]
[2. I have done my best so far. After all, you and Rustan have only met a few times. From now on, just leave it to fate.]
"Select option 1 and enter immersive mode!"
[Entering immersive mode...]
"We are going to the snowy mountains again..."
Kujo Tsumugi looked up at the area at the top of Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. Including the previous simulation, this was her third time to come to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
"Forget it, the sooner we finish it, the sooner it will be fine."
The reason why Tsumugi Kujo chose to enter the immersive mode here was that she wanted to try whether she could change the outcome of Rustan's death in this simulation. In the last simulation, Tsumugi Kujo successfully changed the situation of the Gun Witch's death. As a result, she could choose the Gun Witch's abilities and equipment when choosing the reward at the end.
Tsumugi Kujo wants to try and see if she can reverse Rustan's ending.
Through the previous simulation, Kujo Tsumugi knew that the magic dragon Durin was waiting for the expedition team to fall into his trap near the top of the snow mountain. If they wanted to save Rustan, they had to find them before they reached the top of the mountain.
Tsumugi Kujo put on the warm clothes she brought with her and immediately stepped into the snowy mountain area.
In the previous simulation, the puppet Tsumugi lived in the snowy mountain area for several years. Although the time gap was five hundred years, Tsumugi Kujo relied on her previous experience of living in the snowy mountains and quickly found the fastest way to the top of the mountain. After three days of walking along the road she found, Tsumugi Kujo finally found the camp established by the expeditionary force led by Rustan. After stating her identity, Tsumugi Kujo successfully entered Rustan's tent.
"Rustan!" Rustan was startled by the sudden intrusion of Kujo Tsumugi, but he reacted immediately and hurried over to greet her, "Miss Tsumugi, why are you here?"
[“Don’t talk about this anymore. I’ll be frank. The Demon Dragon Durin is now on the top of the snowy mountain, watching the expedition team move forward. If they continue to move forward, these people will only suffer heavy losses. Turn around and return to Mondstadt now. There’s still time. As for the problem of the Demon Dragon Durin, don’t worry. The Wind God Barbatos has already asked his follower, the Wind Dragon Tevarin, to solve it.”]
"Ms. Tsumugi... even if you want me to return to Mondstadt, please come up with a plausible reason." Rustan couldn't help but complain, "Everyone knows that the wind god Barbatos hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. Although He appeared briefly last year, He disappeared again after wiping out those Kanreya refugees. No one can be sure whether He will appear again."
"I am the vice-captain of the Knights of Favonius. I must protect Mondstadt with my own hands. I cannot place all my hopes on a wind dragon that I don't know if it will appear or not."
Rustan's frank remarks left Kujo Tsumugi speechless.
It is well-founded and irrefutable.
"Then I will go with you. I can definitely protect you with me here." Kujo Tsumugi patted his chest.
"Ms. Tsumugi... stop it... you're just an alchemist."
Rustan looked at Kujo Tsumugi with a wry smile, then called over three Knights of Favonius.
"The three of you escort Miss Tsumugi to Mondstadt. Remember to see her walk into Mondstadt with your own eyes."
"Yes!"
The Knights of Favonius responded, then politely but resolutely led Kujo Tsumugi back to Mondstadt.
Tsumugi Kujo wanted to resist, but her body was no match for these Knights of Favonius, because all three Knights of Favonius possessed the Eye of God. Even if Tsumugi Kujo could take down one of them by sneak attack, she would not be able to deal with the other two.
However, this did not pose a problem for Tsumugi Kujo. She temporarily escaped from the sight of the Knight of Favonius under the pretext of going to the toilet, and then took out the puppet Tsumugi.
The strength of the puppet Tsumugi is stronger than her real body. Kujo Tsumugi can feel at ease by letting the puppet Tsumugi follow Rustan and the others and protect them when necessary.
So Kujo Tsumugi obediently followed the Knights of Favonius and left, while the puppet Tsumugi secretly followed not far behind the expedition team.
Not long after, the puppet Tsumugi saw herself in the second simulation. The person she named "Knight Tsumugi" looked exactly like herself.
