Three hours later.
A light came from the door on the wall. Ying and her group came back and saw the people in the hall shaking their heads like crazy.
"What happened? What happened to everyone?" Paimon said in surprise.
"After 144 tests, the two little lucky grass kings gave exactly the same answers. We are all thinking of new ways to distinguish them. How's the situation on your side?" Elhaisen replied.
"It's just an ordinary secret realm with mechanisms. There's only a golden key in the last treasure chest. Hmm? Murderous aura?" Ying took out the key from the last treasure chest and looked around, trying to find the source of the murderous aura.
"It seems that this key is very important, keep it quickly. The source of the murderous aura must be that fake Little Lucky Grass King."
"Come to think of it, since their appearance and abilities are the same and there is no difference, then the Nashida we know must have something that the fake Nashida doesn't have." Paimon said with his hands on his hips.
"It's something the fake Nashida doesn't have." Everyone was stunned and looked at Paimon.
"Hey, look at me!"
Paimon opened the flip phone on his chest and quickly dialed Nashida's cell phone number.
"Beep, beep, beep~~~"
A bell rang in the arms of one of Nashidas.
"Tsk... I didn't expect that I had overlooked the existence of such a convenient item as mobile phones in this world." The other Nashida spread her hands.
"You are surrounded, just surrender!" Everyone surrounded the fake Nashida.
"Who are you? Ordinary gods can't be exactly like me." asked Nashida.
"You will know the answer to this question later, but not now. Let me congratulate you on getting the key to enter the World Tree. More difficult tests are still ahead... I should have said this."
The fake Nashida paused, then her expression changed quickly. "I'm so angry... I didn't put the key in, but you guys still got it. What kind of cheating methods did you use!!!"
A powerful aura surrounded the fake Nashida, and everyone felt as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on them.
Suddenly, a portal appeared behind the fake Nashida, and a hand reached out from the space, grabbed her in, and then disappeared.
Behind the portal, the woman knelt obediently in front of the hooded man.
Chapter 414 The Golden Key
Seeing the fake Nashida disappear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear. The powerful pressure made them unable to move, and even unable to speak. Any mistake would be equivalent to wiping out all the top leaders of Xumi.
"Huh... I thought I was dead." Paimon complained.
"She has exactly the same power as me, and completely crushes me in terms of quality. She should be the branch of the Tree of Life in the wreath message." Nashida said.
"That means that in time, the little auspicious grass king will be able to reach this level?" Dixia asked.
"If it's just the strength she's shown now, she should be able to achieve it, or at least give it a try." Nashida nodded.
"The Church of God is damnable! No, the great sages of these generations are damnable! They have completely delayed the growth of the little Auspicious Grass King." Dixia cracked her finger bones.
"Let the past be the past. The most important thing now is to rescue the Great Compassion Tree King and restore our memories. By the way, Ying, let me see the golden key." Nashida looked at Ying.
Ying took out the golden key, on which were engraved strange patterns and an inexplicable aura.
"What a strange key, is it really a key? And it seems to be made of gold?" Cole widened his eyes.
"We need to study it. Now that we have the key, where is the lock?" said Elhaisen.
"It may not be a lock. Maybe it's the switch of some mechanism?" Tinari also expressed his opinion.
Nashida took the golden key and examined it carefully. She picked up the key with her right hand and tapped the bottom of it against her left palm, then looked at the palm of her left hand.
"Dust? No...it's sand. Ying, did you encounter any attacks or terrain like sand in that secret realm?"
"No, it's just an ordinary secret realm. The internal layout is similar to the secret realm in Liyue."
"What about the inside of the treasure chest?"
"There is no sand inside the treasure chest, only this one item." Ying replied.
"It seems that sand is the key. The corresponding lock or mechanism is most likely in the desert." Nashida concentrated her divine power and tried to activate it, but there was no response.
"Master Little Jixiang Grass King, this is difficult! The desert is so vast, and there is absolutely no clue. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"There should be clues that we haven't discovered yet. Please recall the situation in the secret realm again."
"There doesn't seem to be anything special. There's just a big ship in the last room, and the last treasure chest is on the deck." Paimon answered first.
"Boat?" Nashida held her chin up and recalled. "Is there such a thing as a boat in the desert?"
"It seems that boats are not useful in the desert. Why don't we ask Sister Candice?" Cole said.
"I remember that when I was young, I once investigated a case about the Red King's treasure, the 'Sun Boat'." said the former Sulun Sect sage, Julesh.
"The Red King's most precious treasure, the Sun Boat?" Everyone was stunned.
"It is said that this ship can sail on the sea of sand, has endless energy, can carry tens of thousands of tons of cargo, and can even reach any place in Teyvat in the blink of an eye. But legends are just legends, and these Gilded Brigade never found the whereabouts of the Sun Ship."
"Such a powerful ship, does it really exist?" Paimon asked in surprise.
"There are so many rumors about the Red King in the desert that it's hard to tell what's true and what's false. Maybe it's like the situation with the Golden Dream and the Eternal Oasis, where the functions have been exaggerated countless times. I think the ship definitely exists, but it's not as powerful as the rumors say."
"So, we have to find the legendary 'Sun Boat' next? But that's like looking for a needle in a haystack, right?"
"If we were to say where the most likely place to find this ship is, it would definitely be inside the Red King's Mausoleum, right? There is no record of this ship in any of the desert ruins I've visited," said Falushan.
"This is difficult. The Red King's Mausoleum is a holy place in the hearts of the desert people, and it is not allowed to be desecrated. Although the reputation of the Red King has declined, there are still many desert people who believe in him.
Opening the Mausoleum of the Red King is equivalent to the greatest disrespect to the Red King. In those days, a group of scholars wanted to go to the Mausoleum of the Red King for archaeological research, but they were all killed. Their bodies were piled in front of the door of the Mausoleum of the Red King, and the murderer has not been found to this day. "Gulesh said.
"Come to think of it, wasn't the Red King swallowed by the Grass Dragon King? The tomb should be empty, right? If it is an empty tomb, it can be developed into a tourist attraction. I have always thought that the Red King's tomb is too spectacular." Paimeng gave a suggestion.
"Then notify Candice and ask her to help us find this legendary sun boat."
Following Nashida's words, everyone took action again.
......
Liyue Qun Jade Pavilion.
Ningguang held Shen He's arm with a serious expression. It was white and delicate, as if it could be blown away, just like a newborn baby. She compared it with her own arm, which was also white, but... the difference was very obvious.
"Is this one of the benefits of becoming an immortal?"
"Your lifespan will be greatly increased, and your body will be in the most ideal condition. Even my skin is better than yours." Lin Zixuan also stretched out his arm.
Ningguang made a sign on her forehead and said unhappily, "Are you going to say that again?"
"Uh..." Lin Zixuan, whose spell was interrupted, smiled.
"Sister Shenhe, please continue to study with Ganyu. After you pass the recruitment exam in autumn, you can officially take up a sinecure in Yuehai Pavilion." Ningguang said.
"Oh? I still have to take an exam? What if I fail?"
"If you fail the exam, continue to study with Ganyu and learn more about the ways of the world. Otherwise, people will accuse me of nepotism."
"I think Senior Sister Shen He has a pretty good talent for product design. The appearance design of many products is also something people consider when purchasing. Senior Sister, you should think about this matter carefully and do what you are interested in." Lin Zixuan looked at Shen He.
"Do something that you are interested in? I heard that your family has only one son for generations, so why don't we have a baby first?" Shen He said.
"Snap!" The pen in Ningguang's hand was crushed into powder.
Seeing that Ningguang was about to lose her temper, Lin Zixuan quickly tried to change the subject.
"This matter is not urgent, not at all. By the way, have there been any new developments among the various forces recently?"
“Basically nothing major happened.
In Mondstadt, Jean's golden sword was lost for a while, but it was soon found. It was finally discovered that Klee had taken it to fry fish. Noel and others officially became the Knights of Favonius.
Apart from the disturbance caused by Tsurukan who stole precious elixirs, basically nothing happened on Inazuma's side.
Xumi is still restoring order and nothing major has happened.
The Kingdom of Zhidong has made a lot of small moves, sending a lot of supplies to Fontaine. It is not clear what they are going to do at the moment.
I asked Ye Lan to try the water goddess Funina in Fontaine, but there is no result to report yet."
"Wait, you let Ye Lan go to Fontaine? What are you going to do to the water goddess Funina?" Lin Zixuan was shocked.
"I'm just confused about what she did. As a god, she has never used the water elemental power, and she hasn't even used the anchor point. Don't you think it's a bit strange? She even arranged a lot of secret agents to find out the news of Fontaine's prophecy.
Is there any god weaker than Xumi's Little Auspicious Grass King? I also asked the secret agents to check the status of the Oracle Judgment Cardinal. If Funina put all her strength into the Oracle Judgment Cardinal, then after 500 years, it should have recovered some strength, right?
Even the Emperor would show some miracles in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. If she could squeeze out a little bit of water elemental power with divine power, Ye Lan would sense it and give up all the subsequent plans. If she couldn't...
Who is the water god of Fontaine?"
"Be careful not to be suppressed by the Emperor on the Jade Capital Platform!"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Catching up the fake water god should be a good thing for the people of Fontaine, right?"
"From the perspective of outsiders like us, it's indeed a good thing. But what if the gods designed a 500-year-long secret plan? If you destroy the gods' plan, will you suffer the consequences?"
"If that's the case, then I was indeed a little inconsiderate. But at least I can get some leverage over you, and I can use it to my advantage when the time comes."
"Ningguang, you are very smart, but you should be careful. Business success is no longer enough for you, and you have already started planning other countries. There are many things hidden under the water in Teyvat. I am not invincible, and the Emperor is not invincible either.
Fortunately, you said it in advance, otherwise once you destroyed the other party’s god’s plan of hundreds of years, after the plan failed, they would definitely point the finger at Liyue and you, and I would definitely stand in front of you to protect you.
This will lead to a life-and-death battle between me and the real water god, and we will both perish, and finally die in your arms. Such a future is not impossible.
Now that you have so much power, the whole of Teyvat will tremble if you just step on it, but this does not mean you can do whatever you want. Because in this world, power can be attributed to oneself, and in the end, strength speaks for itself. "
"Yeah, I know, I'll pay attention."
"Huh? Wang Luzhijian?" Lin Zixuan asked in surprise.
"Have you found out anything?" Ningguang was very surprised to see Lin Zixuan.
"There is new progress on Xumi's side. Ying and the others got a special key. That key is very special. I have to find a way to trick them into giving it to me."
"Lie..." Ningguang and Shenhe were speechless.
"That key represents the key that can open the treasure house that stores all the treasures in the world. There is a high probability that the treasure house contains various treasures that have been looted over thousands of years." Lin Zixuan condensed a key of similar style.
"Most importantly, we are the only ones who know its true meaning. Ying and the others should have thought it was just an ordinary key made of gold."
“It is extremely valuable, so we must bring it back.” Ningguang also said cautiously.
Chapter 415: Ship Spirit and Sea Rescue
After Lin Zixuan left the Qun Yu Pavilion, the three lazy secretaries surrounded Ningguang with curiosity.
Bai Wen asked, "Lord Ningguang, is the Key of the King's Law really that powerful? Does such a key that can open the treasure house that stores all the treasures in the world really exist? I have never heard of such an item in Teyvat."
Ningguang stood up and walked to the window and sat down.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. You can think of it as Captain Qin's golden sword and scabbard, or Xiangling's Fire Spear. The Key of the Law of the King is just a special artifact that has been given a name.
As for whether there are treasures inside, there is a high probability that there are. In fact, the Rock King Emperor made a special key for his treasure house, which can also be named the Key of King's Law.
The gods give a name to an object and the name spreads, and after a few years it becomes various legends, and that is how myths come about.”
"Is it a special type of artifact like Lady Ningguang's Seven Treasures Glazed Fan? Master Xuan always comes up with some strange artifacts and magic weapons." Bai Wen said.
"Many of those magical artifacts are just failures in name only, and can even be said to be garbage that wastes precious materials. But even these failures, in the eyes of mortals, are 'artifacts', things that will cause countless people to fight for them.
You should have read some martial arts novels about Liyue. Are the plots in those novels similar? A series of passionate plots triggered by a legendary sword weapon. "
Ningguang took out the Seven Treasures Glazed Fan from the Eye of God, and began to wipe it gently with a silk scarf, even though there was no dust on it.
"Speaking of which, the 'Mechanical Cooking Machine' that Xiangling of Wanmin Hall borrowed from the immortal was stolen. The people of Liyue have almost no resistance to these immortal things." Bai Shi said.
"When it comes to items like magical tools and treasures, the Qianyan Army will do their best to track them down. That idiot was caught less than an hour after he stole the 'Mechanical Cooking Machine'." Bai Xiao complained.
"There are always people who think they are the chosen ones and that nothing can be done about them. They only started to feel very regretful when the Qianyan Army came to their door. At least they should have understood the function of this magical device before stealing it. To put it bluntly, this 'cooking machine' is just a large-sized special magical rice cooker.
Seeing those people shaking their heads and saying that the food cooked in this special rice cooker is unusually delicious and has a hint of fairy spirit, I feel that they are hopeless. "Bai Wen also joined the ranks of complaints.
"It's a very common phenomenon of convert fanaticism. People who have tasted the delicious food cooked by this rice cooker will protect its reputation more attentively than ordinary people. They will definitely not say that there is no difference between it and the food cooked by ordinary rice cookers." Ningguang shook her head.
'Beep, beep, beep~~~'
The phone on the desk rang, and Ningguang gestured for Bai Xiao to answer it.
"What??? I'll notify Lady Ningguang right away." Bai Xiao blurted out in surprise after hearing this.
"What happened?"
"Master Ningguang, something terrible has happened! The first mate of the Death Star has sent an urgent message for help: the ocean freighter is capsizing, and the heel angle has exceeded 45 degrees. After passing through the storm area, the hull has begun to leak, and the floating stone array can only last about an hour before its energy is exhausted.
