"I'm a little dizzy. Two great tree kings?" Paimon scratched his head.

"A lot of key information was missed. What's the meaning of King Daci Tree doing this?" said Elhaisen.

"If we infer from the results, we know that the final outcome of the Great Compassion Tree King in her predetermined fate is that everyone forgets her existence.

So, what role can an identical 'Great Compassion Tree King', or even her, play?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"Replacing the Great Compassion Tree King with a new one? No, she doesn't have any obligations and shouldn't sacrifice herself for the World Tree." Tinari quickly rejected his idea.

"Wait, doesn't that mean that in addition to defeating the hooded man, we also need to defeat this 'Great Kindness Tree King' who is much stronger than the Great Kindness Tree King? Isn't the gap in our strength a bit too big?

Big bad guy, do you know what the strength of the rich pharmacist outside the world is?" Paimon said.

"Shouldn't it be possible to make the entire planet grow plants a hundred meters high just by spitting a little?"

"!!!"

Lin Zixuan's words made everyone silent. The gap in combat power was too big and there was no possibility of winning.

"They could obviously do these things quietly, so why are they doing it in such a high-profile manner? It's as if they are constantly guiding us. Remember that SS-level secret realm? Only 'Ying' used 10% of his strength." Nashida said.

"Resist the test of 'fate'? Yeah, that makes sense." Lin Zixuan nodded.

"Saving the Great Compassionate Tree King means defying 'fate'. Xumi will be heading for another path, a path full of unknowns and uncertainties, and there will surely be numerous difficulties waiting for us.

If we can't even pass this test...it means that we can't defy our destiny." Nashida said.

"Now the question is, how do we find them? And where is the World Tree?" Paimon spread his hands.

"Uh...didn't the wreath say that?" Everyone looked at Nashida.

"It seems... no?"

Somewhere in the underground space, beneath the World Tree.

The hooded man gave the woman a light slap.

"What did you write in there? Why didn't you write down the most important method of entering the World Tree?"

"Hey!" The woman showed a 'well-behaved' expression.

Chapter 410: A period of time without any progress

The lack of a way to enter the World Tree makes it impossible to rescue the Great Compassionate Tree King.

Nashida and the sages opened the forbidden library and began to look up information about the World Tree.

Many major events also happened during this period.

Ying and Paimon, who had some free time, began to help Tinari clean up the dead zone.

Until... I met a forest ranger named 'Lana'. Later, under Lannaro's guidance, I got a 'Forest Book' and gradually learned about the Lannaro family.

General Lei Dian went to Fontaine and has not returned yet, so the handling of the stragglers has been temporarily put on hold.

All the groups of the great sage Azar were uprooted, and all the assets that could be cleaned up were cleared out. When the wall fell, everyone pushed it down, and they were not given a chance to turn things around. They were all disbanded and sent to teach in the desert.

Within a week, news came back from the desert that Hazard had passed away due to a sudden illness caused by poor acclimatization.

Candice held a funeral according to the old desert customs, chopped it into pieces and fed it to the red vulture. After learning the news, Nashida posted a message to "scold" Candice, and then said that Candice should pay attention to the living problems of the scholars in the future.

As for the real truth, it no longer mattered. After that, Candice received a letter of appointment as the mayor of Kawanyi and then began to vigorously develop the Kawanyi area.

Mondstadt and Inazuma have signed a number of cooperation agreements with Xumi, and the personnel who came to Xumi to assist Ying have also begun to return home one after another. Liyue also transported the wreckage of the Wing Zero back to Mingyun Town.

Inside Qunyu Pavilion.

Ningguang, Ganyu, Keqing and others were in the conference room, and the three secretaries were reporting the latest information.

Bai Xiao: "The nobles in Mondstadt started a small internal fight, which was quickly suppressed by the Knights. After investigation, it was found that... they were jealous. Seeing that the other party had negotiated a cheese and meat business with the Chamber of Commerce in Liyue and made a lot of money, it widened the gap between the two nobles.

They formed an alliance and carried out various sabotage on the nobles who made money by destroying, poisoning, burning grasslands, etc., so that they could not fulfill the contract.

The nobles who made money were not willing to be outdone, and they directly arranged for people to fight back, which became more and more intense, and they even killed the knights who were sent by the Knights to mediate.

When the Knights learned of this, they suppressed the rebellion by force. They dug up old scores, stripped them of their fiefdoms, and reduced their noble titles to the lowest rank. Now these people must be regretting their actions to the point of their intestines turning green.

The situation on Narukami Island and Umijima Island in Inazuma was not so bad, but the situation in Tsurukan was relatively chaotic. There were all kinds of people, and thefts and assassinations were happening one after another. It was unclear whether the Kanjo Bugyo could suppress it.

After all, if one could bring out a spiritual medicine that was more than 30 years old, that would mean an income of at least Li Yuan. Many of those former ronin would choose to take the risk.

The auction house in Liyue currently has 37 auctions of newly unearthed spiritual medicines from unknown channels. They should have contacted the Heguan branch of the Liyue Trading Company and then transported them back."

Bai Shi: "At this stage, 366 Xumi scholars have been recruited and naturalized in Liyue. We have also obtained a number of relevant academic papers and rare books.

Mobile phones, computers and other products began to be sold in large quantities in Xumi, and people in Xumi accepted them very quickly. The Void Terminal was shut down, and after training, they began to like our convenient products. Naturally, many scholars sneered.

Our staff is still working hard to expand the product, and strive to make more than 50% of Xumi people use it. The specific number of Xumi people has not yet been announced, but according to the current proportion, the literacy level of the people is even lower than our Liyue. "

Baiwen: "There are serious problems with the Cabriere Company in Fontaine. We have already found clues pointing to them. They transported the 'Les' to Liyue Qiaoying Manor through special channels. We are still investigating their real route. The Qianyan Army speculates that they took the underwater route.

The staff at Qiaoying Manor have arrested all the people who were selling the "magic water for brewing tea", and all the "magic water for brewing tea" has been confiscated.

Another thing is that Navia applied to Momang Palace to rebuild Baisong Town. She wanted the people of Baisong Town and Huihe to move out of the low-lying areas.

Then she was taken to the dock at the Oprykle Opera House.

The reasons are: his father is a murderer, and Navia is not a good person either. After hooking up with Liyue, she plans to extort a huge sum of money and then run away.

Because her father refused to stand trial for murder shortly after helping to build the patrol boat waterway in Fontaine, and chose to die in a duel. The huge amount of money used to build the patrol boat waterway disappeared.

The Thorn Rose Society sold many of its properties to fill this hole, and its strength and reputation also declined a lot. Now if it wants to turn things around, it will face countless obstacles.

Although the ruling was successful, the relocation was not carried out. The water goddess Furninna was in favor of this matter, but she had never dealt with government affairs for hundreds of years, and the reconstruction project involved too many things.

Baisong Town has allocated funds for reconstruction. Should other towns also be allocated funds for reconstruction? Shouldn’t the just Fontaine treat other towns justly as well?

Where is the land of the new Baisong Town? Who controls the reconstruction funds? Layout planning, port reconstruction, all these issues need to be resolved. Even if they are implemented, it will probably take three to five years to resolve. This is a message from a Fontaine person on the Teyvat forum regarding this incident.

Our secret agent investigated the person who put Navia on trial. We found that this person is likely to be a secret agent of the Kingdom of Winter. During this period, the diplomats of the Kingdom of Winter have been in contact with the upper echelons of Fontaine."

......

After the intelligence report was finished, Ningguang nodded and looked at Lin Zixuan who was drinking tea on the side.

"Should you tell me in detail what really happened at Xumi's coronation ceremony?"

"Do you remember?" Lin Zixuan raised his eyebrows.

“After all, I know the truth, and that slight sense of incongruity will be constantly magnified. It has prevented me from sleeping well recently.” Ningguang said.

"The truth?" Keqing and Ganyu were both stunned.

Lin Zixuan had no choice but to take out the fabricated video and play it again.

After the playback, the room fell into deep thought, which was inconsistent with the memories of all of them.

"This is the truth." Lin Zixuan said.

"Liyue has sealed some magical instruments that can control people's memories. I didn't expect that there really is something that can control the memory of the entire Teyvat continent."

"Even the video recorder and the camera were affected. The only thing in my memory seems to be the scene of you standing next to the little auspicious grass king. The most important part of the crowning is missing, and people haven't noticed anything wrong yet." Keqing recalled the memories in her mind.

"The Sky Island that cannot be disobeyed? I heard so from the immortals when I was a child. So that's how it is. We just need to reverse the memory and turn the Rock King into a big villain, and then the target of rebellion will become the Emperor." Ganyu also showed an angry expression.

"There are many ways to use it, such as modifying your memory, becoming my son, and enjoying wealth and glory from now on. Or you can become the new God of Rock and be worshipped as the god of Liyue."

“It’s getting more and more terrifying,” Ningguang said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"There will be a chance to break free from the shackles of the World Tree in the future, but not now. Besides, it is not easy to modify the World Tree, so don't worry about it.

The most important thing now is to develop ourselves. We developed so many years later than other countries, and we are still a long way from traveling the starry sea. Teyvat is just the starting point, not the end point. "Lin Zixuan also felt that it was a bit ill-considered to tell the secret, and hurried to comfort them.

"Then let's build 10 more Flying Wing Zeros."

"No, no, no. Upgrade, redesign and optimize first. It would be a waste of money to make this version now. The pilots we selected can't even last half an hour in high-intensity combat. They can't control it as easily as Traveler Ying.

If it cannot be easily controlled, it will become a giant target, useless except for adding merit to the opponent. Don't deviate from the original intention and go down the path of militarism. "

"Well, I always feel that my current combat power is not enough." Ningguang thought for a while.

"Enough, enough. The stockpiles are enough to raze the entire Heguan to the ground." Lin Zixuan covered his face with his hands. Who did he learn this fear of insufficient firepower from?

"By the way, how are the testing experiments on those specialized weapons?"

"Weapons with the energy of the Frost Sky Nail have been extremely effective against Beast Realm Hounds in experiments. We have already made various weapons such as swords, bows, and elemental guns for small-scale actual combat testing."

"Try to choose a method that consumes less energy. The number of known Frost Sky Nails is limited, and they are very useful. We cannot waste them carelessly."

"We have arranged for researchers to study this energy. There are no new results so far, but there are many places where it can be used."

......

Keqing looked at the two people and felt a sour smell of husband and wife following each other. After eating dog food for more than ten minutes, she finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Master Xuan, is there something wrong with the layout of Fontaine? During your high-profile private visit, you only helped the Rose Thorn Association and bought some Fontaine products.

Shouldn't we meet with the officials first and sit down to discuss things? It seems that things are getting a bit awkward with Grand Inquisitor Navrette at the opera house. The Fatui are trying to get in touch with the upper class in Fontaine, so isn't it enough for us to just target Navia?" Keqing interrupted and changed the subject.

"Navia is more important than you think. Her father is also a very charismatic and idealistic person. It's a pity that he was tricked into death by someone else.

It is easier to gain their favor after helping these poor people. But for those who are very wealthy, although they welcome us on the surface, they are actually extremely wary of us deep down in their hearts.

The current situation in Fontaine is actually too automated. When machines completely replace human positions, those people who want to find a job will become: ordinary jobs can be done by automatic machines, and difficult jobs are beyond their ability with their knowledge.

Eventually, the rich will become richer, and the poor will become poorer, forming two classes of people. You can estimate how many ordinary people without money there will be.”

"The number of ordinary people without money? Hmm..."

"Try to use the income data of Mondstadt's Inazuma Liyue in the past to make an analogy? Rich people, ordinary people, and poor people."

"The rich account for about 2%... the average person accounts for about 20%... the remaining 78% are poor people struggling to make ends meet."

"So as the leader of the 78% poor people and the leader of the Thorn Rose Society, Navia, do you think she is important?"

"!!!"

"Her father almost brought some changes to Fontaine, but unfortunately he died too early. After the new leader Navia brings a lot of new jobs to the poor people of Fontaine, how high do you think her reputation will be?"

"Is there a force that can compete with the Mo Mang Palace?"

"We are still far behind in terms of hard power. However, our status will not be looked down upon by anyone in Fontainebleau," said Lin Zixuan.

"No wonder the Kingdom of Winter is so nervous and making so many small moves. After Navia is brought out as a chess piece, the Fatui will definitely try to trip her up.

If Fontaine is included in Liyue's alliance, the isolated Winter Kingdom will probably be even more uneasy, right?" Keqing curled her lips.

"Don't worry too much about what's going on inside Fontaine for now, but we have to be prepared for that prophecy."

"What preparations have we made? It's Fontaine that was drowned, not us." A question mark appeared above Keqing's head.

"Do you remember the 'Guiliyuan Flood' incident recorded in the History Museum?"

“Ah? You mean…” Keqing stood up directly.

"The water sources of Liyue's rivers and lakes also come from Fontainebleau. If Fontainebleau is flooded, will we be okay? The originally dry riverbed, with heavy rain upstream, will the people playing on the riverbed realize that a flood is coming?"

“Will the Guiliyuan flood... happen again?”

"Maybe..."

Chapter 411: Plan to Control Funina

Upon learning that the "Guiliyuan Flood" might reoccur, Keqing, Ganyu and others hurriedly left and called on people to investigate the river flow and prepare for disaster relief.

Even if the flood did not come, flood control projects would have to be built sooner or later. The fertile land of Guiliyuan has been redeveloped, and the loss after being flooded is unimaginable.

Ningguang saw that everyone had left, so she started asking.

"The power of the three realms refers to the light realm, the human realm, and the void realm?"

“Well, it is generally believed that the Light Realm refers to the Sky Island, which can use high-level power, or it can be called the original power.

The realm of nothingness refers to the abyss, which is also a high-level power. Its most intuitive manifestation is the power of erosion, which will be restrained by the power of the realm of light.

There is no need to say much about the human world. We also have special powers, but the quality is not as good as that of the other two worlds, and we are easily broken up.

It is reflected in the power of faith and the power of will. These two forces can only fight against the other two forces when they change from quantitative to qualitative. "Lin Zixuan replied.

"What about elemental forces?"

"That is the power of the Seven Dragon Kings. Some of us can borrow their power. But judging from the fact that the Evil Eye can extract elemental power, it is likely that it is also our original power, but it has been sealed and needs to meet special conditions before it can be activated."
