Seeker of Teyvat

"Of course, the slime condensate can be used with mushrooms in the mountains to make slime mushrooms."

Paimon was surprised: "S-Slime slide wild mushroom?"

"Haha, I know it sounds strange, but it tastes absolutely great. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Yi."

On the other side, Wang Dao nodded and gave a positive evaluation: "It doesn't look very good, but it tastes really good!"

Slime slide wild mushrooms, this was the first strange dish Xiang Ling gave him.

Ying: "It sounds very good. I want to eat it."

"There are also cold sea animal meat, stir-fried Qingxinhua, and Jueyun rice dumplings. They are all very delicious dishes!"

Chapter 24 Olaf

Stayed for one night in Qingquan Town.

Ying and Paimon, who were going back to Mondstadt after delivering the letter, also stayed behind.

They are homeless and do not have regular jobs.

Under the temptation of the delicious food described by Xiang Ling, Paimon naturally asked Ying to stay and wait for the hunting team to return tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Xiang Ling waited at the entrance of Qingquan Town early. According to her wishes, the ingredients were not allowed to wait, and she had to get the long-awaited ingredients as soon as possible.

Of course, only Xiangling was waiting. Although Wang Daoyi had already gotten up, he did not come over. Instead, he was reading a book in the hotel.

Ever since Liyue came out, he had been on the road and encountered powerful enemies like King Qiuqiu Yangui. It had been almost a month since he had read a book properly.

Now that he was relatively stable and there was nothing to worry about, Wang Daoyi finally had time to take out the books in the package.

This time he only took a few books with him when he went out, just to pass the time while resting on the road.

Looking through the "Detailed Explanation of Mondstadt's Specialties" in his hand, Wang Daoyi enjoyed the rare peace of mind in the past few days.

Paimon and Ying, on the other hand, were still sleeping in.

The clear spring in the morning is calm and quiet.

The morning breeze blew slightly, and crystal clear dewdrops slid down the leaves, jumping happily.

The new sun shines on Xiangling's face, the dewdrops are sparkling on the lawn around her, and the cool breeze blows around her, sometimes carrying the fragrance of flowers.

Xiangling stretched out comfortably, "It's so beautiful!"

After a while, a team of more than a dozen people appeared at the end of the road.

"Ah, I'm finally back, Lin Pork, Lin Pork, delicious Lin Pork!"

Seeing the hunting team, Xiangling hummed happily in her strange tone.

But as the hunting team approached, Xiangling found something was wrong. There were not only prey but also many wounded people in the hunting team's truck.

"Did you get attacked?"

With the return of the hunting team, the originally quiet Qingquan Town became lively again.

Because the hunting team brought back not only prey, but also many wounded people, this made Qingquan Town even more noisy.

"How come so many people were injured?"

"Did poachers attack?"

"I seem to see a stranger in the hunting team!"

……

The noisy sound outside the house interrupted Wang Daoyi's reading state. Just as he closed the book and was about to go out to see what was going on, he saw Xiang Ling pushing the door open and coming in.

"What happened? I heard some noise. Is the hunting team back?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Xiang Ling nodded, with a worried look on her face.

"Yes, the hunting team is back. They said they were attacked by monsters. Mr. Dulav issued a commission to Ying, hoping that Ying could help them eliminate the attacking monsters!"

Then he showed a strange expression, "I didn't expect that Ying is actually an honorary knight of the Knights of the West Wind. It's really amazing. Brother Dao Yi, did you know that Ying repelled the attacking dragon in Mondstadt before?"

Of course Wang Daoyi knew, he also knew a certain alcoholic poet, and he was probably also watching Ying now.

However, he didn't want to get involved in the matter of touching the fish and the wind god, so he showed an appropriately surprised expression.

"Really? That's really amazing. It seems that Ying is very powerful!"

Go out with Xiangling and arrive at Mr. Duraf's house, where a large number of residents have gathered.

Everyone gathered around Mr. Durav and a stranger.

"This... is Qingquan Town, right?" the stranger asked with a doubtful tone.

Mr. Durav on the side looked helpless: "Yes, I have answered you so many times, this is Qingquan Town, but I don't know any of the people you mentioned!"

The stranger also looked anxious: "It's impossible, they are all my family and friends, and they all live in Qingquan Town."

"Then what's your name?" Mr. Duraf was a little helpless, but the other party did have the bloodline characteristics of the Katzlein family.

"My name is Olaf Ketzlein."

"Olav Ketzlein?" Mr. Durav exclaimed with a strange expression.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my name?" Olaf asked.

Durav shook his head, walked home, and took out a thick book.

"Although I don't remember your generation, your name is exactly the same as that of an ancestor of our family."

As he spoke, he opened the thick genealogy, searched for a while, and put his finger on it, "Look, Olaf Ketzlein was a member of the family three hundred years ago!"

"No, it can't be such a coincidence!" Little Paimon exclaimed.

Dulav closed the family tree, turned to ask the people in the hunting team: "Where did you find Mr. Olaf?"

The members of the hunting team recalled: "Just a few days ago, when we had completed our hunting goal, we heard someone calling for help, so we followed the cry for help and found a ruins. There was a huge magic tree in the ruins, which was the magic tree. The tree attacked us with countless ice crystals, and Mr. Olaf was the one calling for help in the ruins."

A giant magic tree?

Wang Dao nodded, it should be the ruins in Xiangling's invitation mission, and the huge magic tree is the delicious frozen tree.

"It's a frozen tree." Wang Daoyi said.

"Frozen tree?" Mr. Durav was a little surprised. "I know about this kind of monster, but isn't the Freezing Tree over there at the Thousand Winds Temple?"

In "Detailed Explanation of Mondstadt's Specialties", there is information about the frozen tree, which specifically describes the tree under the Thousand Winds Temple that has been kept captive by the Knights of the West Wind.

Wang Daoyi thought Mr. Durav's doubts were normal. Not to mention hunters like Durav, many adventurers probably didn't know much about the frozen tree.

"The frozen tree is a monster formed by the frost in the earth veins condensing and attaching to the vines." Wang Daoyi explained to everyone, "Some scholars believe that plants are like the organs of the world, harmonizing the earth veins where the elements are surging; and the crystallization of this ecology on the surface is ice mist flowers, deception flowers, and other plants full of elemental energy."

"But the ice mist flower is very different from the freezing tree!!" Little Paimon exclaimed.

"That's because the concentrations of earth elements are different, and certain plants growing in certain environments may, over time, turn into frozen trees, becoming as huge and ferocious life forms as monsters!"

Ying also sighed a little.

"Hey, could Mr. Olaf be a person from three hundred years ago who was frozen in ice?" Pamon suddenly thought.

Xiangling also made a sound of agreement. "Yes, yes, just like us chefs use ice to keep ingredients fresh, Olaf must also be a human being frozen by the frozen tree."

"This..." Duraf was speechless. Was he saving his ancestor?

"Anyway, it's too dangerous for a monster like the Frozen Tree to appear next to Qingquan Town. Over time, it might affect the reproduction of forest pigs in the surrounding areas." Mr. Durav had a worried expression on his face. "Knight of Honor, you must help us."

The disaster caused by the Wind Demon Dragon has had a great impact on Mondstadt. The Knights have not much left to use. Recently, Ying has accepted a large number of commissions, and this time, Mr. Durav also handed over the commission of monsters. fluorescent.

Chapter 25: Frozen Tree!

Accepting Mr. Durav's commission, Ying carefully asked the hunting team members about the information about the frozen tree.

From the size of the frozen tree, to the moves the frozen tree uses when attacking them.

Unfortunately, the members of the hunting team were defeated almost as soon as they touched the frozen tree. Being able to rescue Mr. Olaf was already the luck of luck, and it was the blessing of Keli.

The people in the hunting team knew very little about the problem of fire.

They had no choice but to decide that after lunch in Qingquan Town, the hunting team would lead them to discover the remains of the frozen tree.

"Brother Dao Yi, let's go too. Since the Frozen Tree can freeze Mr. Olaf three hundred years ago, maybe we can also preserve some ingredients from three hundred years ago. Moreover, the Frozen Tree might also be able to make Delicious food!!”

Xiangling on the side is very interested in the freezing tree. Liyue also has a similar plant-type monster, but it is an explosive tree located at the junction of Tianqiu Valley, Cuijue Slope, Luhua Pond and Dunyuling. There is the protection and surveillance of Qianyan Army.

Naturally, Wang Daoyi would not refuse Xiangling's proposal. Anyway, he has no hobbies except reading. Today, he just saw the information about the frozen tree in "Detailed Explanation of Mondstadt's Specialties". Now he can see the real thing. very nice.

"No problem, but you have to ask Ying first, she is the one who accepts the commission!"

Although they went along without the other party's consent, it was undoubtedly more polite to get the other party's consent.

He, Wang Daoyi, is a polite and good man, as Zhongli can attest.

Xiang Ling expressed to Ying that she and Wang Daoyi also wanted to go see the Frozen Tree together, and said that both of them were owners of the Eye of God and had good combat power and could help defeat monsters.

If there is free help, Ying will naturally not refuse it. Although she is confident in her own strength, if there is free help, she will not use it in vain.

After discussing lunch with Ying, they set off. After taking a look at Mr. Dulav, who was having a cordial conversation with his ancestor Olaf, he did not disturb him and just said goodbye, saying that he would set out to fight against monsters in the afternoon. After that, they returned to the small hotel where they rested yesterday.

At noon, Xiangling borrowed the hotel's kitchen and cooked a table of delicious food for everyone, and Ying also helped prepare a lot of dishes.

What Xiang Ling didn't expect was that Ying was very talented in cooking. Just by watching Xiang Ling's cooking process, she learned how to make several dishes without any teacher.

"Ying, if you concentrate on learning cooking skills, you will definitely become a super chef!"

Xiang Ling said seriously.

Ying declined with a smile. What she wanted most now was to find her brother, Sora.

In the afternoon, several people were getting ready at the gate of Qingquan Town. Ying still looked the same, only carrying a bladeless sword, and on his head was Paimon who had eaten too much and couldn't fly.

Xiangling, on the other hand, brought her spear, which was just an ordinary iron-tipped spear, barely stronger than Ying's edgeless sword.

And Wang Daoyi still brought the jade ball that Xingqiu gave him.

Different from games where high-end weapons are rampant, in reality, most adventurers still use one-star weapons such as the edgeless sword like Ying.

Two-star weapons are already high-quality products that can only be used by elite adventurers, while three-star weapons are mostly high-end equipment owned by well-known adventurers or some official organizations.

Four-star weapons are already something only found in legends and stories, and are rarely seen by most people.

As for the five-star weapons, they are truly artifacts. So far, Wang Dao has only seen Walnut’s Goma Staff.

That sacrificial staff contained "Unbridled Fire", even though Hu Tao was waving it around carelessly, the powerful power inadvertently revealed in it still made Wang Dao frightened.

He once asked Zhongli if Liyue Qixing didn't know that Hutao held such a powerful weapon.

Zhongli answered naturally: "Of course I know! It's just that they can't take away this cane from the Palace of Life."

……

Returning to the entrance of Qingquan Town, Mr. Duraf was already waiting at the entrance with several members of the hunting team.

They are the guides on this trip.

The hunting party found the frozen tree far away.

Everyone walked through the forest for several days and finally came to a cave entrance.

"This is where we heard Mr. Olaf's cry for help. Enter here and go through the passage to reach the ruins where the frozen tree is."

The members of the hunting team pointed to a deep cave entrance and said, "Honorary knights and two friends from Liyue. We will camp here and wait for you to come back. Please be careful."

Wang Dao and others nodded and entered the cave without looking back.

The cave was very deep, but the slope was not very steep. Wang Daoyi silently calculated that they had probably passed through the high mountain cliff near Chenxi Winery and close to the stone gate.

After walking for a long time and dealing with many jumping slimes, finally, a very obvious man-made building appeared in front of everyone.

Different from the game where you have to decipher the secrets to clear the levels, after entering the ruins and turning a few corners, a few people saw the curled-up frozen tree from a distance.

"Wow, this should be it!"

"It's really huge."

Xiangling and Paimon sighed.
