Seeker of Teyvat

In fact, after seeing the Grand Master's reaction, Ningguang already knew that the matter was successful, and asking now was just to remind the other party of his contribution in this matter.

The Grand Master nodded under the eager gazes of everyone: "It is worthy of being the work of an immortal. It is indeed a blueprint that can be passed down from generation to generation. There is hope for this matter."

The masters also showed happy expressions.

Then, the Grand Master looked at Ning Guang and saw her smiling face. He knew that he had been taken advantage of, but he had a kind of nature that meant repaying kindness.

Moreover, the Grand Master looked at Wu Genzhijuan and Wang Daoyi again. Since this young man can stand with the Immortal's Things and Ningguang, does it mean that the Immortal is also willing to trust Qixing?

In just a short moment, the Grand Master had many considerations in his mind.

[From now on, please avoid embarrassment with her. 】

After making the decision, the Grand Master looked at Wang Daoyi and said, "Little friend, I don't know what we have to pay to participate."

The Grand Master did not ask the silly question of how much wages Wang Daoyi could pay, but directly asked what price he would have to pay to participate.

It's easy to talk to smart people.

Wang Dao spoke directly: "Now we only have the drawings, Hanfeng Ironware promised to provide a blacksmith and materials."

The Grand Master nodded, understanding: "Then, no matter what is missing, we will cover it. I don't know, this dominance..."

"I have made an agreement with Master Zhang of Hanfeng Iron Weapon that he will take the lead."

"Huh?" The Grand Master asked with some reluctance, "Can we make a contract?"

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "Although it is only a verbal agreement, I will not go back on it and cannot break my promise. This is the emperor's admonition."

"Huh..." The Grand Master exhaled slightly.

At this time, Ning Guang also said: "Grand Master, casting a work that will be handed down for generations requires extraordinary energy. All the masters are already old. To avoid the recurrence of what happened to Master Zhang, let Master Zhang take the lead. He is in the prime of his life." In the prime of life.”

The implication is that although the people here are highly skilled, they are still young. If we were to lead this casting, we might lose the people first before the things are completed.

The grand master didn't reply. He looked at the masters around him and then at the picture scroll from the immortal in Wang Dao's hand. Finally, he thought about it and nodded slowly: "Forget it, it's rare to be able to participate in such a thing. , You really shouldn’t be greedy.”

The Grand Master has given up his dominance,

First, Wang Daoyi used the emperor's words to ensure that he would not go back on his verbal agreement.

Second, the masters of the secret library are indeed old and unable to assume the leadership. As for the Grand Master himself, although he has the eyes of God and looks very energetic, he is much older than he looks, and he is also unable to assume the leadership. Right.

Third, there may be a shadow of an immortal behind Wang Daoyi, so it is best not to offend him.

However, the Grand Master immediately made his request: "However, we don't have to take the initiative, but on the day of casting, I want half of the observation seats in the secret library."

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment and looked at Ning Guang with some confusion.

Ning Guang nodded towards him and blinked.

After receiving Ningguang's look, Wang Daoyi nodded and agreed to the Grand Master's request, although he didn't understand what the observation seat was.

With Wang Daoyi's agreement, the Grand Master waved his hand with satisfaction: "In that case, you can leave. The next step is our secret library's own business."

He will have to coordinate these masters later, divide the observation seats, and then send people to negotiate with Hanfeng Ironware about material issues.

Without further interruption, Wang Daoyi followed Ningguang and left the workshop.

After staying away from the sight of the Grand Master and others, Wang Daoyi asked: "What does the observation seat that the Grand Master mentioned just now mean?"

"How many places do you think there are in Liyue that can be used to cast ancient magic weapons?" Ning Guang asked.

Wang Daoyi's eyes narrowed: "..."

This was really something he hadn't considered. He found the caster, found the drawings, and solved the problem of materials, but he forgot about the casting location.

Seeing that Wang Daoyi didn't answer, Ningguang continued: "There is only one place, the cave where the Explosive Flame Tree is located. Only that place filled with fire elements has the environment to complete the casting of handed down magic weapons. In other places, even the cold... Even if the ground fire of the sharp iron weapon is exhausted, it will not succeed."

Then he showed a smile: "Speaking of which, this is the experience summed up by the Hanfeng Iron Zhang family. According to the records of the General Affairs Department, hundreds of years ago, when they first tried to cast weapons passed down from generation to generation, the underground fire was extinguished for an entire day. It took years to recover.”

He suppressed his smile and continued to answer Wang Daoyi: "Although the Qianyan Army is stationed where the Explosive Flame Tree is, there must be a lot of movement when casting the handed down magic weapon. In order to ensure that no one would disturb them, the Zhang family proposed before About the observation seat."

"Qualified forces will receive invitations to observe the forging of handed down magic weapons. As a condition, they must send out manpower to completely clean up the area and guard it during the casting process. They must also provide some valuable materials."

Wang Daoyi frowned. He didn't want others to see the birth of his magic weapon: "With my strength, do I still need their protection?"

"Oh, when a person is unwilling to share, others will be jealous. Many times, some people are not good at doing good things, but they are still good at doing bad things."

"Even if you are powerful, it will take a long time to forge a magical weapon. Can you defend it for one day, three days, or even ten days or half a month? If it is affected even a little bit, it will cause irreversible consequences to the magical weapon."

"So, giving them seats is not only to give benefits, but also to prevent them from causing trouble."

Wang Daoyi was a little unhappy. He didn't like the feeling of being threatened: "Does it mean that if they take the seats, they won't cause trouble?"

Ning Guang glanced at Wang Daoyi strangely: "Where do you think Liyue is? This is a country of contracts. If you make a contract, you will naturally have the means to guarantee it."

Wang Dao curled his lips. Anyway, he didn't like others watching the birth of his magic weapon. However, there was nothing he could do. After all, even if he entered the state of god, it would be impossible for him to guard it without slacking off for ten days or half a month.

We can ask immortals for help, but this may also attract more people seeking immortality.

"That's it, it's better not to have any accidents." Wang Daoyi warned.

Then I silently told myself in my heart: "I still need to become stronger. I hope that I can gain something from my subsequent trip to Xumi."

Three days passed in a flash...

After reaching an agreement with the secret library, Wang Daoyi returned to his ordinary life of teahouse - Wanmin Hall - Wangsheng Hall - Yunhan Society - Three Bowls - Teahouse.

Meanwhile, in places that Wang Daoyi could not see, the secret library and the Hanfeng ironware were in frequent contact, and all kinds of precious materials were transported to where the Explosive Flame Tree was. The military forces of the top forces in Liyue were frequently dispatched. Wherever the Explosive Flame Tree was, the monsters and even living things within a radius of several miles suffered a devastating blow.

The general of Qianyan Army took action and directly removed the explosive tree that had been raised for several years. The reclusive alchemist family came out in full force and engraved numerous runes in the fire cave.

For the sake of a seat at the birth of a five-star magic weapon, these forces were easily mobilized by Ningguang.

Sitting in the high building of Yuehai Pavilion, Ningguang had a smile in her eyes. This time, her gains were unimaginable.

This is not a gain in wealth, but the power she has over Liyue has been infinitely magnified. Some forces that originally only obeyed her orders but not her announcements now obey her arrangements obediently.

Although this authority was not permanent, Ningguang seized the opportunity and developed a number of "her own people" among these forces.

While these things were happening, Ying also completed her exploration of the ruins with Zhongli.

After going to Guyun Pavilion with Zhongli, Ying brought Paimeng back to Wanmin Hall.

Ying looked a little tired, but Paimeng was unusually energetic. Or rather, she became particularly energetic as soon as she arrived at Wanmin Hall.

Wang Daoyi and Xiangling were processing the ingredients. Some things needed to be washed and put away, while some other things needed to be cut and prepared in advance.

Seeing Ying and Paimeng coming back, Wang Dao waved his hand as a greeting.

Paimon flew to Wang Daoyi's head, grabbed his hair, and shouted excitedly: "Daoyi, you have no idea what we encountered on this adventure."

He pinched Paimon's face with the hand that had just cut onions, then lifted her off his head: "Wow, what did Paimon encounter? Tell me quickly."

Ying, who was standing by, looked at Wang Daoyi's exaggerated expression and immediately understood that this guy must have known about what happened in the ruins a long time ago.

Paimon, however, enjoyed Wang Daoyi's jokes very much: "We are exploring the Salt Demon, Hewu...what's that?"

Paimon, who suddenly forgot his words, looked at Ying.

"The Demon of Salt, Heulia." Wang Daoyi reminded.

"Yes, Heulia! Daoyi, we have encountered the remains of Heulia, as well as a divine artifact that can make salt..." Paimon's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, then she suddenly realized that the voice that reminded her just now did not seem to be Ying.

The excited little expression suddenly froze, and Paimon looked at Wang Daoyi with a very sad look: "Daoyi, you won't tell me that you already knew about the Salt Demon God?"

Paimon was a little desperate. Although she had known Wang Daoyi for a long time, Paimon, a little girl who loved to show off, seldom had anything to show off in front of Wang Daoyi. This adventure was something she valued very much and she really wanted to show off to Wang Daoyi.

"The Demon God of Salt Heulia is a very benevolent demon god. When Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was attacked before, someone stole his power, so I know a little bit about him."

Wang Daoyi touched Paimeng's little head and comforted him.

Paimon looked up: "Really?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to little Paimon's adventure story!" In the end, Wang Daoyi still couldn't bear to discourage Paimon's desire to show off.

Xiangling also came over, wearing an apron, and comforted Paimon: "I also want to know the adventure stories of Paimon and Ying."

Paimon's big eyes were misty, and it was unclear whether he was moved or because of Wang Daoyi's onion hands.

After Paimeng wiped away his tears, he became lively again and told Wang Daoyi and Xiangling about his adventure.

Zhongli instructed them to unlock the seal and asked the Fatui to sign a contract with another follower of the Salt God.

After entering the ruins, the Fatui rushed to get the first artifact left by the Salt God.

Later, because he became greedy for the second artifact, he violated the contract and was punished by Zhongli.

In the end, another believer of the Salt God also broke his contract and ran away because he could not bear the truth of history.

At this point, Paimon said in a very shocked tone: "Daoyi, do you know that the God of Salt was killed by his own people? It's incredible that a demon god was killed by his own believers."

Wang Daoyi shook his head and said, "Heulia, the God of Salt, was too weak. He loved his people deeply. For their sake, he gave in step by step in the war between demons and gods. In the end, his people pierced his body with swords, but he still did not resist."

He looked up at Ying: "Ying, do you remember the Wind Dragon Ruins we visited before?"

Ying nodded, not knowing why Wang Daoyi suddenly brought it up.

"The ruins of the wind dragon are actually the old Mondstadt. The tall tower where Tevarin lives, at the highest point, is the throne of the old demon god, the Fierce Wind Demon."

Wang Daoyi first introduced it, and then continued to ask, "Do you know how the Demon God of Fierce Wind fell?"

Paimon's eyes lit up: "I know. The street singer said that it was the people of old Mondstadt who overthrew the throne and defeated the demon for freedom."

"That's right, the people of Old Mondstadt defeated the Demon God." Nodding, Wang Dao showed a puzzled look and looked at Ying, "But how could a group of people blessed by the Demon God have the ability to defeat the Demon God who protected them?"

Paimon scratched his head: "Did Barbatos help them?"

"At that time, the current Wind God was just a wisp among the thousands of winds, and did not have the divine power that he has today."

"He doesn't feel like he has any supernatural powers right now," Paimon complained.

Ying frowned, a little hesitant: "Because... the Fierce Wind Demon God... didn't resist?"

"No, no, the singer said that his friend died in the battle with the devil." Paimon denied.

He ignored Paimon's denial, nor did he agree with Ying's guess.

Wang Daoyi looked at Ying and said, "Ying, the devil always loves people, but people may not necessarily accept the devil's love! Your journey is still very long, please appreciate this world. The meaning of the journey itself lies more in the scenery along the way."

Ying thought deeply. This was not the first time she had heard such words.

Wendy tells her that the poet, the fool, and the queen are all part of the journey.

Zhongli asked her to remember everything.

Now, Wang Daoyi also allows her to appreciate the world and record the scenery of her journey.

[The devil always loves people, but people may not necessarily accept the devil's love! ? ]

【So, what do you all know? 】

[Also, brother, what is the end of the journey? ]

Ying was in a state of confusion.

After a long time, he raised his head, without asking any questions, but nodded to Wang Dao: "I will, at the end, I will understand everything."

Paimon and Xiangling looked at the two puzzled people, not understanding what they were talking about.

After receiving Ying's response, Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded: "So, when will you start the next journey?"

"It's confirmed. In two days, Sister Beidou will leave, and I will go to Inazuma with her."

"Ah." Xiangling showed a regretful look, "I wanted you to attend my birthday party."

Xiangling's birthday is November 11nd, which is exactly three days later, right after Ying leaves.

Ying also showed a look of pity.

Xiangling quickly calmed down and comforted Ying: "It's okay, there are many birthdays to come. If you miss them during the journey, they will be gone. So, go ahead and don't miss my birthday next year."

Ying nodded solemnly.

She has already recorded Liyue's anchor point. Next year, no matter where she is, she can rush back to attend Xiangling's birthday.

At this time, Paimon suddenly reacted: "Daoyi, I don't think I told you that the Salt Demon was killed by a sword!!!"

The little guy then realized that he had been deceived by Wang Daoyi again.

The angry little guy stomped his feet in the air and headbutted Wang Daoyi in the stomach.

Wang Daoyi was knocked to the ground and was beaten by Paimeng.

On the side, Ying and Xiangling watched them fooling around and smiled.
