Seeker of Teyvat

A palm made of rock elements emerged and steadily caught the Heart of Thundergod and the secret crystal.

Wang Daoyi controlled the chain secret crystal to come into contact with the Heart of Thundergod. The crystal collapsed, and a golden chain drilled into the Heart of Thundergod.

There was no unusual phenomenon, and Wang Daoyi completed his little action easily.

"If the consciousness projected here is not strong enough, I would definitely take a good look at the secrets of the Thunder God's Heart."

"However, once the Doctor's plan begins, the Heart of Thunder will eventually be open to me."

After completing his actions, Wang Daoyi greeted the three people in the distance.

"Ms. Shenzi, and Ying, I've finished it, come over here."

Chapter 183: In the Tavern with El Haisen

After Wang Daoyi made a sound, Ying in the distance took Paimon and followed Yae Shenzi back to where Wang Daoyi was.

Looking at the thunder god's heart floating on Wang Daoyi's condensed rock element palm, like a chess piece.

Paimon was a little curious: "Is this the Heart of Thundergod? Come to think of it, we have already seen the Heart of Thundergod of Venti and Zhongli. But..."

Ying answered: "However, their hearts of gods were taken away by the fools."

"That's right!" Paimon nodded, and then looked at Yae Shenzi, "Miss Shenzi must be careful, the fools will definitely come to snatch it!"

The Eightfold God Son waved, and the Heart of God flew back to her hand. She felt it slightly, but it seemed that there was no change. It may be that the master of the secret method was too strong and she could not detect it.

"Haha, little guy, are you concerned about me? Don't worry, no one except you knows that the Heart of Thunder God is here with me!"

Yae Shenzi looked disdainfully and said, "You won't tell the truth, will you?"

Ying and Paimon waved their hands repeatedly: "No, no, we and the Fools are enemies!"

"Ying and Paimon are trustworthy partners. They will bring new opportunities to this sea area." Wang Daoyi affirmed the positions of Ying and Paimon.

Then he continued: "Ying, you have completed the commission, so what reward do you want now?"

Faced with Wang Daoyi's question, Yingying's eyes lit up: "Is any reward acceptable?"

"At least, I have the need, or I can do it." Wang Daoyi replied.

"Lots and lots of Mora!!! Dao Yi, he must be very rich!" Paimon shouted at the side.

"Haha, the pursuit of knowledge requires experiments, which require a lot of money. So, Paimeng, I may not be as rich as you think." Wang Daoyi shook his head at Paimeng, "However, if you choose Mora, I can also prepare a generous Mora for you when we meet next time."

Paimon's eyes sparkled.

Ying shook his head and did not ask for any reward. Instead, he asked Wang Daoyi a question: "Daoyi, actually, you knew about my existence before we met outside Qingquan Town, right?"

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, wondering why Ying would ask this question: "Is this question the reward you want?"

Ying nodded: "Yes, that's the reward!"

"Oh, in that case, according to the contract, I will give you a true answer. Yes, I knew your existence before I met you."

Wang Daoyi gave an affirmative answer.

Paimon was confused, she couldn't understand the conversation between the two.

"Did Zhongli tell you?" Ying asked.

"It's not that the emperor told me. Although I was favored by the emperor at that time, I was not yet his dependent." Wang Daoyi shook his head and denied Ying's conjecture, "I have a secret of my own. I can't tell you this secret yet. Maybe , you will know it during your future travels.”

Wang Daoyi is not ready to tell Ying the secret that he is also a descendant (traveler).

"Okay, then I don't have any other questions." Ying nodded, and the doubts in her heart were not solved, but more.

She originally thought that Zhongli sent Wang Daoyi to contact her from the beginning, but she didn't expect that this was not Zhongli's plan.

But Wang Daoyi has a little secret of his own.

As the journey progressed, many of Ying's doubts not only remained unsolved, but also became more and more numerous.

A group of people were pretending to be the Riddler for her.

Seeing that there was nothing left to say, Wang Daoyi looked at Yae Shenzi: "I am in Sumeru, and the projection of consciousness at such a distance is still too far away. If you have no other questions, I will end this projection."

"Oh, it seems like there's nothing going on. So, goodbye, little guy. Don't forget our agreement." The pink-furred fox waved his hand.

Ying and Paimon also waved: "Goodbye."

Wang Dao nodded: "Then I will leave, Ying. You still need to carry the crystallization of my consciousness with you. Maybe it will help you in the future."

After saying that, without waiting for Ying to react, Wang Daoyi ended the projection, and the light and shadow turned into specks of light and dispersed.

Only the original thirty-six-sided crystal was left suspended.

Ying was affected by Wang Daoyi's last words and silently put away the crystal.

……

the other side

As soon as Wang Dao withdrew his consciousness projection, his main consciousness returned to the desert of Sumeru.

"Now, the plan is half successful. All we have to do is wait for the Fools to get the Heart of God."

"I promised Xiang Ling to rush back before the Sea Lantern Festival, so let's speed up a little and find a few desert tribes to show the power of the sandstorm. Then there is still some time left to go to Xumi City to chat with Elhaysen."

After thinking about it, Wang Dao looked at the five mushroom beasts around him, gave them an order to garrison, and then left here.

……

A few days later, in a tavern in Xumi City.

"Hey, have you heard? The desert side seems to be not very peaceful recently."

"I know, I know, it is said that the envoy of the Red King has returned."

"The envoy of the Red King? How many years has the Red King been dead? It must be a rumor, right?"

"Hey, it's true. A friend of mine went on an adventure in the desert. He was resting in a desert tribe and saw with his own eyes a priest wearing a jackal mask who set off a sandstorm and drowned a group of monsters that attacked the desert tribe."

A drinker told the story vividly that he didn't know where he heard it from. "At that time, the entire desert tribe knelt down and prayed to the Red King."

This interesting story immediately attracted a large number of drinkers to watch.

Seeing that he had become the center of attention, the drunken drinkers became even more excited.

Perhaps because he had a talent for storytelling, with his addition, stories about the Red King priests using the power of sand violence to save the desert tribes began to spread in the tavern one after another.

In the corner of the tavern.

Two people, one green and one white, sat together, drinking and chatting.

"The sacrifices of ancient gods reappeared in the world. It's a really good story. What do you think?" Elhaysen looked at the guy opposite him who he had known for a short time.

It's been a long time since anyone invited him to come to the tavern for a drink. After all, he was in the Order and didn't have many friends.

And he himself didn't know why he was particularly fond of Wang Daoyi. Maybe it was because the other party could keep up with his thinking.

Wang Daoyi smiled. Although he knew that everyone was talking about him, those magical stories were really not his doing.

He just showed the power of the sandstorm in front of several desert tribes, and wanted to leave some hints of the return of the Red King's sacrifice.

"The stories in the tavern may be true, but most of them have been processed by the drinkers and cannot be trusted."

Wang Daoyi took a sip of wine and said slowly.

It's better to be Sumeru, unlike Mond, who doesn't even sell him wine.

Elhaysen nodded, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "I thought you would meet this Red King priest when you went to investigate in the desert! After all, the smell of wind and sand on your body is too strong."

"Ahem." Wang Daoyi coughed because of the wine, and then looked at Elhaysen, "Has anyone ever said that you are so smart that sometimes it makes people annoying?"

"Oh, everything must be connected. If you don't clean up the beginning and end of your work, isn't it normal for someone to find out?" Elhaysen's face was calm, "Or do you think I am careless, even so obvious? Someone who can’t even tell what’s going on?”

Kavi:?

"Tch, I didn't want to hide it at first, but I just borrowed this identity to make it more convenient for future operations in the Great Red Sand Sea."

Wang Dao waved his hand indifferently: "After all, no one like us doing research wants to be disturbed by those people in the desert halfway!"

"Oh, that's right. It's a good idea to pretend to be a fake identity and get help from the desert tribes to assist you in your exploration. However, it's still a bit troublesome. I don't like trouble. Instead of communicating with those desert tribes, I still like it. One person investigates alone.”

Elhaysen nodded. He recognized Wang Daoyi's idea, but he would not do it because it would be too troublesome.

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Is there anything interesting happening in the Order Academy recently?" Wang Dao waved his hand and was not going to talk about him impersonating the Red King to offer sacrifices.

Elhaysen shook his head: "Since the opening of the Void, there have been more and more research projects in the Apostolic Academy, but there are fewer and fewer interesting things."

Then, after thinking for a while, he continued: "However, there is something different today."

Wang Daoyi was very interested: "What happened today?"

Elhaysen is not a salesperson. Facing Wang Daoyi, who he thinks is worth talking to, he spoke very directly: "Today, a scholar of my class submitted a research application on the topic of "Human Evolution and Clusters" "Consciousness" is somewhat interesting compared to other scholars' topics."

"'Human Evolution and Group Consciousness'?" Wang Dao shook his head directly after hearing this, "Tsk tsk tsk, you must have failed. Human evolution, this kind of subject is still dared to be touched by anyone. You, a scholar of the same class, is Ignorant or fearless?”

"Indeed, the great sage asked me for my opinion, and I denied this research application." Elhaysen also shook his head, "Not to mention that his research application violated the regulations of the Order Council. I can’t agree with the idea.”

"Can you tell me what kind of idea you have?"

"The goals and ideas are too radical, but the means and methods are too conservative."

"Oh, I understand, a soft-hearted person cannot study taboo subjects."

Faced with Wang Daoyi, who understood everything at once, Elhaysen nodded with satisfaction. Only friends like this who understand everything at a glance are comfortable to chat with.

Chapter 184: Those who can’t drink go to Kavina’s table

Wang Daoyi and Al Haisen were drinking in the pub and chatting about interesting things that happened recently.

Then we gradually talked about various languages ​​and cultures, and then moved from language to ecology. There was almost nothing we didn’t talk about.

"As for the ancient Mondstadt language, I think the Mondstadt ancestors suffered from wind and snow at that time, so in the ancient Mondstadt language, wind and snow are often used to describe suffering and pain."

Elhaysen nodded: "This is a good idea. I have read many Gumond books, and there are indeed many similar metaphors. Just like the wind and snow bring suffering, the wind and snow will fall on the unfaithful. This kind of It’s very descriptive.”

"Yes, similar words like this, as well as the Qiuqiu tribe near Mondstadt Snow Mountain, also use words like wind and snow to describe disasters. Obviously, even for the Qiuqiu people, their language will vary depending on the region. And there is a change.”

"Are you still studying the language of the Qiuqiu people? I have also studied the Qiuqiu people of Sumeru. Most of the Qiuqiu people in the rainforest area live a prosperous life. They are more gentle, while the Qiuqiu people in the desert are poor because of the lack of food. Scarcity makes them a little more violent.”

"A very classic environment-influenced creature. I once learned that in different environments, the evolution directions of Qiuqiu people are also different. In the snow mountains of Mondstadt, there is the Qiuqiu Frost Armor King, in Liyue, there is the Qiuqiu Rock Helmet King, and When we get to Inazuma, there are more Kabuto Kabuto from Qiuchurei."

"Indeed, in Sumeru, different mushroom beasts will be born in different locations due to different environments. In this regard, if Tinari is here, he may give you more suggestions and opinions." Elhaysen nodded. head, and said a new name.

Before Wang Dao could ask who Tinari was, a voice came from behind: "I heard someone mention my name just now. Didn't I expect that it was Secretary Elhaysen?"

Wang Dao turned around and saw a young man with big ears and a young man with blond hair standing behind their wine table.

"Well, Tinari, and Kawei, why are you here?" Alhaysen rarely took the initiative to ask.

Wang Daoyi also smiled: "Are you Alhaysen's friend? Let's sit together!"

Then he turned around and shouted: "Boss, two more glasses of wine."

The two of them sat down directly without being polite.

The big-eared young man answered Elhaysen's question: "I came to the Order today to submit a rainforest inspection report. I happened to meet Kawei, and he suggested we have a drink together."

In fact, Tinari saved some face for Kawei. In fact, he was also Kawei's creditor. Kawei owed him a favor. This time, Kawei specially invited him to drink and thank him.

"That's right, you can come and drink, and of course Tinari and I can come and drink too." The blond young man, Kavi, said to Elhaisen, but it sounded a bit sarcastic.

"Oh, you actually still have money to drink?" Elhaysen gave Kawei a disdainful smile, and then introduced Wang Daoyi, "This is Tinari. He is a ranger and a very good person." Scholar, I previously recommended your "Rainforest Biology Illustrated Book", which Tinari participated in writing."

After introducing Tinari, Alhaysen introduced another one: "This is Kavi."

Then he began to introduce Wang Daoyi: "This is Wang Daoyi, a scholar from Liyue."

Several people nodded to each other, indicating that they knew each other.

Then Kawei continued to target Elhaysen: "Why is Tinari's introduction so long and only one sentence to me? Do you look down on me?"

Elhaysen looked calm and nodded: "Otherwise, what do you want me to introduce? Introduce you as the person who owes me money, or introduce the buildings that made you bankrupt?"

"You...you...huh, there's really nothing to say to someone like you who has no sense of artistic beauty!" Kavi was furious. He picked up the wine glass indignantly and took a big gulp.

Elhaysen ignored Kavi's dissatisfaction and looked at Tinari: "We were just talking about the impact on biological populations in different environments. You just happened to be here. Can you tell us your understanding?"
