Seeker of Teyvat

Dark filth contaminates the earth, and all living beings are wailing in front of the throne of God.

……

By the time the divine king wakes up, the world is devastated.

Hearing the wails of his people, the king chose to sacrifice himself.

"One day, humans will wake up and know they don't need gods,

Before that, I will become a god other than a god. "

The ancient king is gone,

……

The people of the desert will leave the palaces and ruins they are accustomed to living in,

Go to the edge of the earth to build a new settlement,

That abode will be named Aru, the old dream of God,

Waiting quietly for Akhmar's recovery. 】

Wang Daoyi listened to the story quietly and watched the old man's body glow with white light.

"Dear guest, what do you think of this story?" The old man looked at Wang Daoyi with hope in his eyes.

Wang Daoyi already fully understood what was going on in this village.

With a gentle smile, Wang Dao nodded: "A very good story."

"Then, can you let me see you?" The white light on the old man's body became stronger and stronger. "Please, let me see you!"

"His wish may not be for you to wait for Him like this." Wang Dao said with regret in his eyes.

"I know. I've always known it. So when those people chose to leave, although I regarded it as a betrayal, I never stopped them. I just... wanted to take one last look at you."

"Your people have been waiting for your return!" The white light on the old man became brighter and brighter.

A hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. Wang Dao nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to the old man: "Then, my last believer, are you still willing to serve my authority?"

The golden spiritual knowledge flowed through Wang Daoyi's eyes, and the remaining information belonging to Akhmar in the authority was fully opened to Wang Daoyi.

The black pupils turned into gold, the black hair turned into white silk, and the authority deep in the soul turned into a red-gold crown.

Facing the scene he had imagined countless times in his dreams, the old man stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Wang Daoyi's palm: "I... have always been willing to serve your authority! Your Majesty the Great Achmar."

Unfortunately, the white light on his body was faster than the old man's outstretched hand.

The white light suddenly dissipated. In front of Wang Daoyi's eyes, there was no old man or young man anymore, only ruins on the ground.

"A belief in an abnormal leyline that has lasted for thousands of years?"

"Alas, believing in a dead god is not a good choice." The gold in his pupils faded and his white hair turned black, and Wang Daoyi sighed.

The moment white light appeared on the old man's body, he understood what was going on.

An old man who believed in the Red King could not rest in peace until the last moment of his life. His belief in the Red King fell into the earth veins, causing the veins to become abnormal, making this area maintain its ancient appearance for thousands of years.

Of course, everything here is fake, it is a scene projected from the old man’s inner world.

The village is the village of the old man’s time, so it is so backward and old.

The young Clark is the old man's projection of his youth, which is why he is angry about other people in Aru Village abandoning their faith in the Red King.

And the old man himself is the core of this earth vein anomaly that has lasted for thousands of years.

As the center of the anomaly in the earth veins, the old man knew that only those who could sense the faith of the Red King could enter here.

And what kind of existence can sense his faith in the Red King?

The answer is: Red King Akhmār himself.

So, when Wang Daoyi entered this area through the authority of the Red King, the old people who had never seen the Red King mistook Wang Daoyi for the Red King.

The moment he thought he had seen the Scarlet King, the old man's obsession disappeared, and he began to dissipate irreversibly, eventually returning to the earth, and then the ground veins returned to stability.

Moved by the old man's faith, Wang Daoyi did not say that he was not the Red King. It was the legendary image of the Red King with golden pupils, white hair and a crown on his head that gave the old man the final comfort.

Compared to the Gilded Brigade in the desert today who claim to be followers of the Red King, this old man is the last believer of the Red King.

"So, did the Scarlet King do something that caused this land to be polluted, resulting in great losses, and finally he sacrificed himself and died?"

Wang Daoyi silently thought about the story the old man told him.

In fact, in the most common legend of Xumi and the desert, ahem, mainly in the rumors of the desert people, it was the Great Compassion Tree King who murdered the Red King.

Wang Daoyi had heard this rumor countless times, but after seeing the gentleness of that existence, Wang Daoyi found it difficult to agree with this statement.

Now, he heard the second version, that in order to save his people and to make up for his own mistakes, the Red King chose to sacrifice himself.

Wang Daoyi only thought about these two statements for a moment and felt that self-sacrifice was more likely.

【After all, all gods love people. 】

Silently gazing at the ruined village, Wang Daoyi sighed, "Huh~ King Chi is gone, this village doesn't need to exist anymore."

With a wave of his hand, the yellow sand in the sky turned into a sandstorm, completely submerging the place.

"Let's go walk in the rain forest and relax."

Wang Dao left without looking back.

Chapter 210 Demonic Scale Disease and the World Tree

Xumi·rainforest area·huachengguo.

In front of a tent-like house, there were two people chatting. One of them was dressed in white with gold trim, while the other was dressed in a typical ranger outfit and had a pair of big ears.

"So you came to my place just to find some special ingredients?"

Tinari looked at the young man in white in front of him and couldn't help being speechless when he heard the other person's intention.

"Haha, as a forest ranger, you know the specialties of Xumi best, right? I went to find Elhaisen first..."

Wang Daoyi scratched his hair. When Tinari received him just now, he thought he was here to talk about the events of the previous Dead Realm, but it turned out that Wang Daoyi came to find a gift for Xiang Ling.

This made him feel a little embarrassed. When others thought you had something important to do, you talked about some unimportant things.

It feels like being caught while fishing.

"Oh, what did Elhaysen say?" Tinari had a hint of curiosity in his eyes, wanting to know how Elhaysen would reply to Wang Daoyi.

"He ignored me..."

Secretary Elhaisen was on vacation recently. He was happy to see Wang Daoyi coming to see him, but Wang Daoyi came to him to ask what special products Xumi had...

Although Elhaysen could solve this kind of thing, he really couldn't arouse interest, so he ignored Wang Daoyi and just recommended Tinari to him.

"Ha, as expected of Alhaysen, okay, come with me." Tinari led Wang Dao towards the house.

Entering the house, you see a young girl really busy with something.

"Hey, Teacher Tinari." The girl greeted Tinari, and then looked at Wang Daoyi curiously.

"This is Ke Lai, my student and a ranger." Tinari introduced Wang Daoyi, then turned to Ke Lai, "This is my friend, Wang Daoyi from Liyue. It’ll be nice if you get to know each other.”

The girl... Ke Lai politely nodded to Wang Daoyi and said, "Hello, Senior Wang Daoyi."

Wang Daoyi also nodded: "Hello."

Tinari didn't pay attention to the exchange between the two. He walked to the desk on the side and pulled out a thin manual.

"A food team came to the rainforest before and entrusted us to collect information on these things. I will give you a copy. However, you can use it for yourself and cannot spread it."

Wang Daoyi took the book and found that it contained detailed information on rainforest ingredients.

The book clearly records where the star mushrooms are the best, where the mushrooms are the tenderest, and where there are special spices.

With this book, it would be much easier for him to find strange ingredients for Xiangling.

While Wang Daoyi was reading carefully, Ke Lai on the side suddenly turned pale, lost all strength and fell to the ground.

"Ke Lai!" Tinari reacted quickly, hugged the fallen Ke Lai and put him on the couch.

Wang Daoyi also put away the book and frowned at the poor girl.

"This is?"

"It's magic scale disease. This disease is very serious in Xumi." Tinari explained, and then tinkered with a lot of medicinal materials.

When Wang Dao looked at Kelai, he saw that black dirt had appeared on the girl's back, looking like black scales.

"It seems, a bit like the pollution power in the dead realm?" Wang Daoyi said uncertainly.

Tinari was still tinkering with the medicinal materials and answered directly without raising his head: "Scholars believe that the Demon Scale Disease, like the Dead Zone, is the feedback in reality after the World Tree is polluted."

Seeing Tinari's increasingly hurried movements and Kelai's uncomfortable look, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but ask, "Do you need help?"

"Huh? Did the previous research on the dead zone bear fruit?" Tinari quickly realized that since Wang Daoyi said this, he must have some trump card.

That can only be what results were obtained from the little bit of dead zone residue that was taken away before.

Nodding, Wang Dao stretched out his hand, and the color of red gold appeared: "There is something gained."

The red-gold power of authority was close to the black filth. Under the suppression of the authority, the filth gradually faded away. Seeing this scene, there was a hint of shock in Tinari's eyes, and then ecstasy.

In Wang Daoyi's eyes, he saw more things. The dense pollution was not removed, but was suppressed. Moreover, in addition to these pollutions, Wang Daoyi also saw some other interesting things: the traces of the demon god's residue. .

Wang Daoyi knew that this girl had been exposed to the remnants of the demon god, but he didn't say anything about it. Anyway, she was Tinari's apprentice and he didn't need to worry about it.

"Oh...did I faint again?" After the black faded away, Cole woke up.

Tinari held over a bowl of medicine: "Drink the medicine first, your body is too weak."

He gave the medicine to Kelai, and then gave Wang Daoyi a hidden look.

The two left the room and communicated alone.

"Can the power you showed just now be able to cure demon scale disease?" Tinari asked, looking forward to it.

However, Wang Daoyi shook his head: "It can't be cured. My power only suppresses the demon scale disease."

"Is it just suppression?" Tinari was a little disappointed.

"Ha, you said that this kind of thing may come from the pollution of the World Tree. I can suppress it, which is pretty good."

"That's right. I'm overthinking it. I'm sorry."

The demon scale disease has a serious impact on Xumi. No matter whether it is a dignitary or a commoner, as long as they get this disease, they will have to wait for death in the end.

The only difference is that ordinary people die faster, while dignitaries and dignitaries can survive for a few more days.

Natinari is the best scholar of the new generation of the Life Theory Sect and is currently a disciple of the sage of the Life Theory School. He is very interested in solving things like the dead realm and demon scale disease.

"Have you not come up with any solution for so many years?" Wang Daoyi had some doubts. The Teaching Academy has the most complete academic system in Teyvat, but it has not solved these two problems for so many years.

"It's too difficult. I don't know how many resources have been invested in the Death Domain and Demon Scale Disease, but the results are minimal."

Tinari shook his head and stated the current situation.

"The Dead Zone can also delay its spread by destroying the Dead Zone tumor, but so far, there is no solution to the Demon Scale disease."

"As for the only special case, Ke Lai, she experienced some bad things before, and the demon scale disease on her body was actually suppressed. This allowed her to be able to go out for patrol occasionally. Otherwise, you can only see her lying there all the time. On the hospital bed.”

After listening to Tinari's words, Wang Daoyi was a little silent.

He remembered his previous exchange with King Daci Tree, and he asked King Daci Tree how to solve the problem of the dead zone.

The answer of King Daci Shu is that when the turning point of fate comes, all these will be cured.

[So... the Death Zone is currently an incurable disease? ]

Seeing Wang Daoyi not speaking for a long time, Tinari had some questions: "What's wrong? Did you remember something? Why didn't you speak?"

"There are some clues, but it's of no use." Wang Daoyi replied, and then asked, "I just said that the dead zone and the demon scale disease may be caused by the contamination of the World Tree. So what can the Order Institute do to make people Have you observed the World Tree?”

Since the Teaching Council can conclude that the pollution of the World Tree caused the mutation, then the Council of Teachings must have a way to observe the World Tree.

"Of course, some scholars in the forest habitat period will choose to link to the World Tree in order to pursue knowledge."

"Lin Qiqi?" Wang Daoyi heard a new word.

Tinari nodded and explained: "The forest habitat period is also called the forest dweller's wild talk period, which is a stage of scholar's practice."
