"Lupica, care for us and protect us. Thank you! Giving Wang Daoyi a grateful look, perhaps unfamiliar, Lei Ze looked at Ying again, "You guys, smell danger, come here?" ”

"No, we've heard, our noses aren't that good." Shaking his head, Paimon remembered the group's intentions and continued, "In addition to coming here to help, we have one more thing to ask. ”

He looked at the king wolf and asked, "Excuse me...... Lord Wolf, do you know the "world's first cultivator"? ”

"I don't care about human creations, and I don't know what a 'cultivator' is. But just to say that the impressive machine, there was once one. ”

The wolf king thought for a moment, remembered something, and then began to tell the story:

There was once a machine that accidentally broke into the Wolf King's trial ground, and the Wolf King also regarded it as a trial warrior and fought it once. But it has no intelligence and only exists to kill, and eventually the wolf king destroys it and it leaves the proving ground.

Ying's eyes lit up, and she thought it would be a useful clue: "Excuse me, will it launch missiles?" ”

"Missiles"? No...... I don't care about human creations, I don't understand these strange things. "He would spin, jump very high, and shoot fireballs. Not as powerful as the Demon God, but stronger than many people who hold the Vision of God. ”

"Fireball ......? Hey, haven't you heard this word ever lately? Paimon's little head was a little hard to remember.

"Remember what Barbara said, 'The Tyrant's Legacy'!" Ying reminded her that she remembered the story Barbara told her.

"Yes!" Paimon suddenly realized.

"Anyway, it feels like that thing should be a ruin guard." Ying felt more and more in her heart that what the Wolf King said was what they were looking for, "As for whether it has anything to do with the world's first cultivator, I have to talk to Dain." ”

Paimon scratched his head, "It looks like it was broken by the Wolf King......"

Ying: ······

Wolf King: ······

Wang Daoyi: ······

Razor: "... I don't know. So, did it help? ”

"Great help! Thank you! Paimon smiled and thanked him, then reminded Razor, "We're going to keep going after something very important." Although the Abyss Apostle is gone, the attack of the Abyss Order is not over yet, and you should be careful. ”

"Razor, have time to play with us!" Ying also waved goodbye to Razor.

Wang Daoyi and Lei Ze were not familiar with each other, so they didn't speak, and followed Ying.

"Uh-huh." Razor nodded, and waved his hand, "You, too, protect yourselves. ”

I finally got the most critical information, and I thought I would go back and tell Dain as soon as possible.

The group walked out of the Wolf Leader, and the monsters of the Abyss Order had disappeared, I don't know if they were wiped out by the Knights of Favonius, or because of the escape of the Abyss Apostles.

Captain Jean and the other Favonius knights were not found, and they came to the entrance of the Running Wolf Lead, where Dainsleif was waiting on the side of the road.

"Dain, did you just meet Captain Qin?" Flying to Dainsleif's side, Paimon asked softly.

"Yes, but I deliberately avoided her." Nodding, Dain replied calmly, and then, as if explaining something, continued, "She's the 'Liontooth Knight' and the acting head of the regiment, and she is wary of me. If I'm not careful, I'll one day be the subject of her pursuit. ”

Seeing Ying nodding, Dain continued: "Having said that, I just solved some monsters here, and I didn't have any information. Do you have a catch over there? ”

[Ying tells Dain about the information she heard from the "King Wolf Remnant Soul". A huge machine that came to the Proving Ground a long time ago, it spins, fireballs, and escapes after being broken by the Wolf King. 】

"......I see," Dai Yin nodded after listening to Ying's description, "Then, the whole picture of the movement of the world's first cultivator can be roughly gathered." ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Just by what the wolf king said? Paimon was a little surprised, she thought she needed to continue investigating.

"It's not just about this piece of information, it's about a more comprehensive approach." Dain patiently explained to Paimon, "For example, you told me earlier about the 'old story' that the church passed down......"

Ying, Wang Daoyi: "The Tyrant's Legacy." ”

"Heh, you guys quite have a tacit understanding." With a chuckle, Dain continued, "Yes, it is the strange incident you learned from the nun that was mistaken for the tyrant's vendetta. ”

Dai Yin's smile made Ying a little embarrassed, looked at Wang Daoyi, and saw that the other party shrugged his shoulders and didn't mean to continue talking, so he spoke: "So, those fireballs...... Actually, it's a missile? ”

"Exactly." Dain gave confirmation.

"Ah, I see!" Paimon on the side reacted, "So the 'Tyrant's Grudge' is actually a missile that was automatically launched by the machine that escaped from the Wolf Leader. ”

Ying also nodded, and continued Paimon's words, "Because it was damaged, it wandered to Old Mondstadt, and when someone approached, it fired missiles until it was completely broken." ”

Paimon figured it out, "Well, the people of Mondstadt didn't have much contact with the ruin guards at that time, so they can only understand it as a 'tyrant's vendetta." ”

"Looks like we're going to go to what is now called the Wind Dragon Ruins and start a carpet search." A gleam appeared in Dain's eyes, and he felt that he had grabbed the little tail of the abyss.

Pouting, Wang Daoyi said weakly: "Don't be so troublesome. ”

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, the remaining two people looked at him.

"Ying, remember, that tower when we used to fight against Stormterror." Wang Daoyi reminded.

Ying's eyes lit up, and the memories of the past came to her mind, remembering that when she went to the Wind Dragon Ruins to crusade against Dvalin, there was a rusty and mossy ruin guard sitting in the tower, which made it difficult to ignore.

"You mean, the rusty ruins guard in the tower?"

"That's right, if the [cultivator] that attracts the most attention among the wind dragon ruins, it is naturally the ruins guarding this tower." Wang Dao nodded slightly, confirming Ying's thoughts.

Dain didn't know the experience of the two of them in their previous crusade against the Wind Demon Dragon, but listening to the conversation between the two, he also knew that he already had a clue to the goal, and his spirit perked up: "Since you have a goal, let's go!" ”

Perhaps there was no familiar leyline passage in the Wind Dragon Ruins, so they had to go through an arduous trek to the Wind Dragon Ruins again, climbed the tower, and came to the guard of the ruins that had been damaged for a long time.

"Hey, by the way, isn't Dvalin home today?" Paimon looked at the bottom of the tower.

"I didn't feel his breath, I should have gone out!" Wang Daoyi closed his eyes and felt it, but he really didn't find Dvalin's breath.

"It's just right that there is no disturbance from the dragon of the east wind, let's take a look at this [world's first cultivator] first."

Dain spoke coldly, he had never had a good impression of the gods' dependents, whether it was Dvalin, the dragon of the east wind, or Wang Daoyi, who was standing on the side.

Faced with the dilapidated machine, Ying opened the elemental vision, but saw nothing.

"It's not feasible to use an elemental vision for a cultivator, and the energy that drives it is never an elemental." Dainsleif shook his head, then walked over to the ruin guard, "Leave it to me, I'll try." ”

Wang Daoyi nodded secretly, when he was teased and used by the doctor, he had also read the Fatui's experiment report, and the ruin guards did not use elemental drive, but used some kind of leyline energy.

Dain reached out and aimed his hand into the eyes of the ruin guards, and his hand began to glow a dark blue. Then a large spherical device flew out of the eyes of the ruin guards, a bit like the mechanical core that Wang Daoyi had seen in the underground factory, but this one was much larger and seemed more esoteric.

As soon as he grasped the [eye], Dainsleif nodded, "Okay." ”

"This is?!" Paimon looked at what Dain was holding and was very interested.

He opened his hand and showed everyone what he had gained.

"The key that the Abyss Apostle has been looking for is "the eyes of the world's first cultivator."

"All the remaining ruin guards are copies of this "prototype"."

"If you can put the 'eye' in the hand of the 'Sullen Reverse Statue' and use it as a base to join the limbs of the 'Vortex Demon God' Oser to create a mechanical demon god, you can give the newly born Filthy Demon God the power to shake the Divine Seat on the Sky Island."

Showing the Eye in his hand, Dain recounts its identity and the dangers it may pose.

“……！！” Ying nodded, with a hint of solemnity in her tone, "You must stop the Abyss Order!" ”

"That's right." Dain was like Ying's words, but I don't know why, Wang Daoyi heard a little relief from Dain's tone?

"What should I do with this [eye]?" Paimon asked, looking at the device in Dain's hand.

Ying thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you hand it over to the Zephyr Church for safekeeping?" ”

Faced with Ying's proposal, Dain shook his head: "No." I'll take care of it. ”

"Huh?! Why? "Paimon doesn't understand, everyone is going to follow the trail of the abyss, so isn't it more dangerous to have [eyes] with them? Maybe I sent a courier to the abyss.

Wang Dao pursed his lips: "Because in Dain's opinion, the Zephyr Church can even lose the statue, and naturally it can't protect the [eyes], and he doesn't trust the Zephyr Church in the first place." ”

This time, Dai Yin did not refute Wang Daoyi's words, and nodded very seriously, what Wang Daoyi said was what he meant, he was very distrustful of the Zephyr Church.

Ying didn't argue with Dai Yin, anyway, she was confident in her strength, and if she put something on Dai Yin, she could protect it at any time from being stolen by someone sent by the Abyss Emissary.

"In that case, let's put it on Dain." Aceding Dain's request, Ying continued to ask, "So, where do we go next?" ”

Putting away the [eyes] in his hand, Dainsleif's voice was a little solemn: "In order to never suffer from future troubles, we will next "deal with" the "Filthy Reverse Statue". ”

Ying nodded: "What are you dealing with?" ”

With a hint of a smile, Dain looked at Wang Daoyi: "We'll destroy it ourselves." How is it? ”

Before Wang Daoyi could react, Paimon exclaimed, "Destroy?!" That's the Statue of the Seven Heavens! ”

"The things of the seven gods, do you want me to help them take care of them?" With a hint of sneer, Dain looked at Wang Daoyi, he hadn't forgotten that there was a god family by his side.

"Ha, since it's a polluted idol, there's no need to continue worshipping." Shrugging his shoulders, Wang Daoyi said with some indifference, "Besides, this is not my family's god statue, as long as the wind god doesn't mind, it doesn't matter what you do!" ”

After listening to Wang Daoyi's words, Ying and Paimon glanced at each other.

[Wendy, I don't mind! 】

[Maybe the next time you see him, you can invite him to drink as an apology!] 】

With some apologies, Paimon and Ying are convinced to agree to destroy the idol.

The team's goals were agreed again, and a smile appeared on Dain's face, and he was very satisfied with this ending.

"Let's go, go back to the ruins, and we'll go and smash the inverted idol."

"And if you're lucky, you can even meet the Abyss Apostle."

"With me, it won't disappear from your eyes again."

At Dain's urging, the group packed up their gear and prepared to go back to the Abyssal Ruins of Liyue once again to destroy the Reverse Statue.

"So, I'm going to experience that bad shuttle experience again?"

Wang Daoyi complained.

It was really uncomfortable to be taken by Dainsleif to travel through the leylines, and he felt that after obtaining the leyline shuttle technology, it was necessary to improve the experience, at least, so that the sense of time in the shuttle did not lose its effect.

"Heh, isn't that exactly what you want!" In the face of Wang Daoyi's complaint, Dainsleib said with disdain.

"Of course, I hope that His Excellency Dain's final gift will not disappoint me!" Wang Daoyi replied without showing weakness.

Wang Daoyi and Dain's cynicism didn't make Ying worry again, she was used to the disagreement between the two, anyway, as long as she didn't fight, she shouldn't have seen it.

It's not just Ying, but even Paimon doesn't care about the quarrel between Wang Daoyi and Dain this time.

"In other words, the device that shuttles to the destination with a 'boom' is really magical!" Paimon flew beside Ying, sighing at the magic of the anchor point, and then exuded her whimsy, "If Ying goes to work as a caravan, you will definitely make a fortune."

Paimon's clever words made Ying cry and laugh: "What are you thinking, let's not talk about whether I can shuttle with a large amount of goods, just the pressure of shuttling, it is impossible for me to use this device multiple times in a short period of time." ”

"Huh?" Paimon touched his little head suspiciously, "Is there any pressure when you're shuttling, but I don't feel it at all!" ”

"Paimon is a little fool." Ending his cynicism with Dain, Wang Daoyi intervened in the conversation between Ying and Paimon, "It must be because Ying used her power to protect you in the shuttle, so you don't feel the pressure." ”

Then he glanced at a cold-faced man: "Unlike some people, they don't care about the feelings of 'friends' in the shuttle." ”

"Heh, we're not 'friends.'" Dain replied with disdainful sarcasm, and the two began arguing again.

Paimon on the side listened to Wang Daoyi's words, and a slightly moved look appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Ying with big eyes.

"Hmm, Ying, you're so nice!"

With a flutter, Paimon hugged Ying firmly.

Paimon's flutter stumbles, Ying reaches out her hands, hugs Paimon, and gently pats Paimon's back.

"Haha, because Paimon is the best buddy!"
