Seeker of Teyvat

"You seem to be very resistant to the desert?"

"Shouldn't I resist such a place of eternal ignorance, ignorance, and violence?" Setale became more and more excited as she spoke.

Wang Dao nodded: "So, is this how you view the desert? So, if one day, you have the opportunity to change it, will you choose to go back?"

"I... Huh, Lord Chisha, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the Great Sage." Setale refused to answer this question.

"Hahahaha, go ahead, Setale, I look forward to your answer." Wang Daoyi smiled, turned and left.

Setale watched Wang Daoyi leave, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time. How could she not miss the desert, her hometown.

Until the great sage's voice came from behind: "Setale, let's go back to the Palace of Wisdom."

"Okay, Great Sage."

……

After leaving the tavern, Wang Daoyi walked on the street, walking around. He had not been shopping much in Xumi for so long.

Under the night, the Xumi people coming and going gave Wang Daoyi a sense of civilized popularity that he had not seen for a long time.

This is a taste that no desert tribe has ever had.

"Hey, isn't that Uncle Fruit?" Wang Daoyi suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

He was the businessman who used to transport fruits and made money to enroll his children in cram schools.

"Uncle." Wang Daoyi greeted and went up to greet him.

The fruit merchant was stunned for a moment, then saw Wang Daoyi clearly and recognized him: "Oh, it's you, little brother."

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

The uncle was stunned for a moment and looked at the fruit stand in front of him.

"Haha, uncle, you're kidding, give me some sunset fruits." Wang Daoyi laughed. He still remembered that he had played with his uncle like this before.

The uncle also smiled. He also remembered and was fooled by Wang Daoyi again with the same joke.

"Brother is so funny. Come on, take these sunset fruits."

The uncle picked up a few sunset fruits from the stall and handed them to Wang Daoyi.

Wang Dao was not polite and took it directly, picked it up and bit it: "Oh, it's quite sweet. Didn't uncle say it was sold to fools? Why did they set up a stall here?"

The uncle's face turned bitter: "Stop talking. I don't know why. The Fools suddenly stopped asking for fruit. This batch of my goods was lost. Fortunately, the people in the Grand Bazaar gave away a lot. Otherwise, I would have wanted What a huge loss.”

"You fools suddenly don't want it? How interesting." Wang Dao nodded, and then said to the fruit uncle, "Uncle, pack up the rest, I want them all."

Taking out the seal of the Elchingen Chamber of Commerce, Wang Daoyi packed up all the uncle's fruits.

"Ah, brother, don't be ridiculous." The uncle was not worried that Wang Dao would cause trouble, but that Wang Dao would be kind-hearted and pay for him.

"It's okay, uncle. Anyway, just go back and take the fruit directly to the Elchingen Chamber of Commerce, and then ask them for money."

The Fools first released what products they wanted, and then ordinary merchants began to stock up on goods in large quantities. Finally, the Fools said they didn't want them anymore.

The accumulation of a large amount of goods will block the merchant's capital chain, and ordinary merchants will be in trouble. When the merchants have no way out, the fools will come forward to buy the goods from the merchants at super low prices, and even handle them for the merchants. loan.

After going back and forth, the fools can not only purchase a large amount of materials at low prices, but also use high loans to control large and small enterprises.

This kind of 'commercial operation' is the most common and commonly used method used by fools.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, little brother. Next time you come to Huachengguo, I will definitely treat you to the freshest fruits." The fruit uncle looked excited. It was obvious that this batch of fruits was backlogged in his hands, and the pressure was on him. Not as relaxed as he appears.

Wang Daoyi waved his hand, it was just fate. If this uncle had not met him on the road, if he had not given Wang Daoyi a lift, then Wang Daoyi would not have known about him, and naturally would not have helped him.

[Is this destiny? It’s such a wonderful feeling. 】

Chapter 228 Goodbye Nashida

Saying goodbye to Uncle Fruit, Wang Daoyi walked to the Xumi Adventurers Association without knowing it.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Gilded Brigade, compared to the Adventurer Associations of Mondstadt and Liyue, the Adventurers Association of Xumiru obviously has a much smaller number of people.

At first glance, there were only a few scattered adventurers sitting and chatting in the hall. It was so quiet that it didn't look like an Adventurers Association, but more like an afternoon cafe.

However, Wang Daoyi is not surprised. After all, Xumi's various gilded troupes have already occupied the ecological niche of adventurers in advance. The space for adventurers to move in Xumi is too small.

Entering the hall, Wang Dao glanced casually, skipping the Xumi-style decoration, and then his pupils shrank sharply.

Next to Catherine with a formal smile on her face, three Sumeru roses were placed.

When Wang Daoyi came to Xumi for the first time, he was pulled into a dream by the little auspicious grass king. At that time, Wang Daoyi met the little grass god who was like a little loli.

Although the meeting was very short, at the end of the dream, Little Lucky Grass King said to him:

[If His eyes were fixed here, then three Sumeru roses would be placed next to Catherine. 】

But now, three Sumeru roses were placed on the table next to Catherine.

So, is His gaze looking at this place now?

Wang Daoyi looked around and saw Catherine facing him with an inexplicable smile.

[No way, it turned out that you were staring at this place. Is it this kind of gaze? 】

With a suspicion in his mind, Wang Daoyi approached the counter and showed a questioning expression to 'Catherine'.

If she were a normal Catherine, she would definitely say; "Towards the stars and the abyss... Welcome to the Adventurer's Association..."

The reality also proved Wang Daoyi's suspicion. 'Catherine' showed a naughty smile: "Long time no see. Did you have fun in Xumi?"

Wang Dao nodded: "Miss Catherine, I have a commission. Is there a more confidential room?"

It would be better not to communicate with this person in the lobby.

'Catherine' nodded, came out from behind the counter, and pointed to the back of the Adventurers Association: "There are some rooms in the back that are used by clients when entrusting tasks. We can go there to chat."

"Okay, please lead the way, Miss Catherine." Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded, as if he was really an ordinary person who came here to issue a mission.

'Catherine' took Wang Daoyi to a confidential room behind the Adventurers Association.

"Okay, it's more secluded here, no one will hear." 'Catherine' used a voice and tone that didn't match her appearance at all.

Wang Dao nodded with a trace of disbelief: "At that time, Your Majesty said that he would cast his gaze here, but I never imagined that it would be this kind of projection method."

"People come and go in the Adventurers Association, and Miss Catherine will receive a lot of people. Possessing her will allow me to see more people and things."

"Catherine"... No, the little auspicious grass king said in a clear voice: "Besides, there is no need to be so respectful. To be honest, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a god. You can just call me... Nashida or Buyer."

"Then I'd better call you... Nashida." Wang Daoyi was really not used to calling him Buyel, just like Wang Daoyi would not call Zhongli Morax.

In such a face-to-face scene, it is really rude to call each other by his divine name.

"Okay, I remember your name is... Wang Daoyi, right?"

Nasida's voice was very clear, and her tone was also childlike.

Although she is the god of this country, she has no friends to talk to. Therefore, when she saw Wang Daoyi in the Adventurers Association, certain emotions immediately emerged in her heart.

It's happiness, joy, or maybe... envy.

"Yes, Nashida, you can just call me Daoyi. Many of my friends call me that."

Wang Daoyi deliberately slowed down his tone and spoke in a gentle tone as much as possible.

"Friend... Is Daoyi Nashida's friend?"

Nashida's voice seemed to change slightly, a little...excited. In reality, she had never had any friends.

Wang Dao nodded, his eyes clear, and he looked into Catherine's eyes across from him: "Of course, you asked me not to be so respectful. Then, isn't it normal for me to be your friend?"

A smile appeared on her face, and Nasida nodded solemnly: "Okay, then Dao Yi will be my first friend."

First friend...

Wang Daoyi felt a little uncomfortable. Did this child-like god actually have no friends before him?

Before Wang Daoyi could feel uncomfortable for long, he heard the voice from the other side: "No, this is my first friend in real life."

The discomfort in Wang Daoyi's heart suddenly stopped...

He had actually forgotten that the person in front of him had the authority of dreams. She had probably seen many people and made many friends in her dreams, probably not a few.

Of course...these "people and friends" do not just refer to real humans.

"Does Nasita have many friends in her dream?" Wang Daoyi asked curiously.

"Of course, in dreams, there is sunshine and breeze, humans and animals make friends together, tell stories and play games together, and everyone will sing the songs they just learned together..."

Mentioning what happened in the dream, Nacida's eyes glowed with happiness. She used the most straightforward and simple words to describe the beauty of that pure land to Wang Daoyi.

However, she did not tell Wang Daoyi that she poured all her best yearnings into her dreams and spent countless happy nights in her dreams.

But no matter how noisy and joyful the night is, when day comes, silence will return to her side.

At this time, Nasida would open her sleepy eyes, feeling the loneliness that suddenly hit her like a cold wave. In the end, she could only hold her shoulders tightly and look at the vast and silent Jingshan Palace in silence.

Wang Daoyi didn't know the loneliness behind Nacida's happy expression. Just looking at Nacida's smile, he felt that this young god might not realize how miserable her life was.

"If Nashida is willing, I can take you out of the Pure Palace, let you feel the sunshine and breeze in reality, make friends with everyone in reality, tell stories, play games, and sing the songs you just learned together..."

Wang Daoyi extended an invitation to Nasida.

He, who had just convinced the great sage, could do these things, as long as he avoided the doctor's eyes and ears.

"Hey, can Dao Yi do this kind of thing?" Nasida couldn't believe it.

Since she was retrieved by the sages, since she was abandoned and imprisoned by the sages, her body has not left the Jingshan Palace for hundreds of years.

Nasida, who was imprisoned in the Jingshan Palace, said that she did not long for the outside world and did not want to see everything outside with her own eyes. That was definitely impossible.

However, Wang Daoyi's words still made her a little unbelievable: "However, I am currently in the Jingshan Palace, and there is a very powerful seal there. Even if I try my best, I can't break it."

The device that seals the Little Auspicious Grass King in Jingshan Palace was originally a device used by the God of Grass for meditation and retreat. It was a creation of the Great Merciful Tree King. It has powerful protection and isolation capabilities. Now it has been transformed by the Teaching Council and turned into a prison cell. The Cage of the Lucky Grass King.

Ordinary people...even ordinary demons, can't easily open the "protection" of that device.

But Wang Daoyi is different, he can get the "key" from the great sage.

"It's okay. As long as you want to get out, I will bring you out. I have ways to solve those seals."

I don’t know why, but when I face Nashida again, the awe I originally had towards the Seven Rulings has dissipated a lot, and more and more sympathy and compassion are emerging in Wang Daoyi’s heart.

Wang Daoyi developed a great desire to protect this young god. Perhaps, it was because the gentle god left a deep impression on Wang Daoyi's heart, which made Wang Daoyi feel a little bit of love for this young god.

Looking into Wang Daoyi's eyes, Nashida shook her head: "Are you pitying me?"

He is a wise god, and Wang Daoyi's emotions could not be hidden from Him. From Wang Daoyi's many emotions, Nashida accurately captured a trace of pity.

"No." Wang Dao subconsciously denied the word pity, just like you would not admit that you feel sorry for him in front of your friend. "It's not pity, it's concern for my friend."

"Daoyi... is lying." Nashida pouted and showed an unhappy expression, as if she was very angry that Wang Daoyi was lying.

Wang Daoyi:...

He was a little panicked for a moment, not because he was afraid that Buyer, as a god, would be angry, but because he was afraid that Nashida, as a friend, would be sad: "Nashida, are you angry?"

"No, I'm just imitating the look of an angry human." Nashida restrained her previous expression and spoke in a playful tone, with a hint of joy, because she felt that Wang Daoyi valued her in his heart.

Human emotions are something that Nashida finds difficult to understand. She once traveled through people's dreams and witnessed many unexpected events.

For example, when telling the truth can exempt one from punishment, some people choose silence and lies;

When some people are with the one they truly love, they often utter harsh words as sharp as knives.

It seemed as if all the contradictions in the world were focused and displayed on human beings, and their emotional changes were unpredictable to Nashida.

So, Nashida sometimes imitates some human emotions, trying to find the patterns in them.

On the other hand, Wang Daoyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing Nashida's explanation. He thought that it was his unintentional concealment that made the young god angry, but it turned out that the god was trying to imitate human emotions.

"Human emotions are very complex. If Nashida wants to understand them, it is not enough to just imitate them. She still needs to go out, see more, and listen more, so that she can slowly understand them."

"So, Nashida, do you want to come out and take a look?" Wang Dao made the invitation again.

This time, Nashida showed an expression of excitement and desire.

"Come out and take a look...is it really possible?" Nashida still had a last bit of hesitation.

"Of course!" Wang Daoyi gave the most direct and affirmative answer.

Perhaps Wang Daoyi touched her, and Nashida's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll wait for Daoyi at Jingshan Palace."
