Sumeru, Rainforest Region, Huachengguo.

In front of the tent-like house, two people were chatting, one dressed in white with gold edges, and the other dressed as a typical ranger with big ears.

"So you're here to find something special?"

Tighnari looked at the young man in white in front of him, and when he heard the other party's intention, he couldn't help but be a little speechless,

"Haha, as a forest ranger, you know the best about Sumeru's specialties, I went to find Alhaitham first"

Wang Daoyi scratched his hair, when Tighnari received him just now, he thought he was coming to talk about the previous Dead Domain, but Wang Daoyi came to find a gift for Xiangling.

This made him feel a little embarrassed, when others thought you had something serious, but you talked about some unimportant things

It feels like being caught touching a fish.

"Oh, what did Alhaitham say?" Tighnari had a look of curiosity in his eyes, wondering how Alhaitham would reply to Wang.

"He ignored me."

Clerk Alhaitham was on vacation recently, and he was a little happy to see Wang Daoyi coming to him, but Wang Daoyi came to him and asked what specialties Sumeru had

Although Alhaitham could solve this kind of thing, he really couldn't be interested, so he didn't bother Wang Daoyi, but just recommended Tighnari to him.

"Ha, it's Alhaithham, well, follow me." Tighnari led the royal road towards the house.

When I entered the house, I saw what a young girl was really busy with.

"Huh, Mr. Tighnari." The girl greeted Tighnari, then looked at Wang Daoyi curiously.

"This is Collet, my student and a ranger." Tighnari introduced Wang Daoyi, then turned to Collei, "This is my friend, Wang Daoyi from Liyue, if only you got to know him." ”

The girl Collei nodded politely to Wang Dao: "Hello, Wang Daoyi senior." ”

Wang Daoyi also nodded: "Hello." ”

Tighnari didn't pay attention to the exchange between the two, walked to the desk to the side, and pulled out a thin manual.

"A food team has been to the rainforest before, and they have asked us to collect information about these things, and they just give you a copy, but you can use them for yourself, not spread them."

Wang Daoyi took the book and found that it contained detailed information about rainforest ingredients.

Where the star mushroom is the best, where the mushroom is the most tender, and where there are special spices, the book records it clearly.

With this book, it was much more convenient for him to find strange ingredients for Xiangling.

Just as Wang Dao was reading carefully, Collei on the side suddenly turned white, lost his strength, and fell to the ground.

"Collei!" Tighnari reacted quickly, hugging Collei as he fell, and placing him on the couch.

Wang Daoyi also put away the book and looked at the poor girl with a frown.

"What is this?"

"It's the Demon Scale Disease, which is very serious in Sumeru." Tighnari explained, and then began tinkering with a large pile of herbs.

As soon as Wang Dao looked at Collei, a black filth had appeared on the girl's back, which looked like black scales.

"Like, a bit like the polluting forces in the Dead Realm?" Wang Daoyi opened his mouth uncertainly.

Tighnari was still tinkering with medicinal herbs, and without looking up, he replied directly: "Scholars believe that the Demon Scale Disease, like the Dead Domain, is a feedback from the World Tree in reality after it was polluted. ”

Looking at Tighnari's increasingly rapid movements, and Collei's uncomfortable appearance, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but speak: "Need help?" ”

"Huh? The previous research on the dead domain has yielded results? Tighnari quickly reacted, since Wang Daoyi said so, there must be some hole cards.

That would only be the result of the little remnant of the Dead Realm that was taken before.

Nodding, Wang Daoyi stretched out his hand, and the color of red gold appeared: "There is some gain." ”

The crimson power of authoritarianism approached the black filth, and under the suppression of the authority, the filth gradually faded, and seeing this scene, a trace of shock appeared in Tighnari's eyes, and then ecstasy.

And in Wang Dao's eyes, he saw more things, the dense pollution was not removed, but only suppressed, and, in addition to this pollution, Wang Daoyi also saw some other interesting things: the remnants of the demon god's residue.

Wang Daoyi knew that this girl had come into contact with the remnants of the demon god, but he didn't say anything, anyway, this was Tighnari's apprentice, so he didn't need to worry about it.

"Oh, did I faint again?" After the blackness faded, Collei woke up.

Tighnari took a bowl of medicine: "Drink the medicine first, your body is too weak." ”

gave the medicine to Collei, and then gave Wang Daoyi a secret look.

The two left the room and communicated alone.

"The power you just showed can cure the Demon Scale Disease?" Tighnari asked, expectant.

It's just that Wang Daoyi shook his head: "It can't be treated, my strength just suppressed this demon scale disease." ”

"Is it just suppression?" Tighnari was a little disappointed.

"Ha, you've said that this kind of thing may come from the pollution of the World Tree, and it's good that I can suppress it."

"Also, I'm thinking too much, I'm sorry."

The impact of the demon scale disease in Sumeru is very serious, whether it is a dignitary or a common person, as long as they get this disease, they can only wait for death in the end.

The difference is nothing more than that the common people die faster, and the dignitaries can support it for a few more days.

As the best scholar of the new generation of the Biological Theory School, and the current disciple of the Sage of the Living Theory School, Natighari is very interested in solving things like the Dead Realm and the Demon Scale Disease.

"After all these years, you haven't come up with any solutions?" Wang Daoyi had some doubts, the Akademiya had the most complete academic system in the entire Teyvat, and for so many years, it had not solved these two problems.

"It's too difficult, for the sake of the Dead Domain and the Demon Scale Disease, the Akademiya doesn't know how many resources have been invested, but the results are minimal."

Tighnari shook his head and spoke of the current situation.

"Dead Domain can also slow its spread by destroying Dead Domain tumors, but so far, there is no solution to the Demon Scale Disease."

"And the only exception is Collet, she has experienced some bad things before, and the demon scale disease on her body has been suppressed a little, which gives her the ability to go out on patrol occasionally, otherwise, you can only see her lying on the hospital bed all the time."

After listening to Tighnari's words, Wang Daoyi was a little silent.

He remembered the previous exchange with the Great Mercy Tree King, and he asked the Great Mercy Tree King how to solve the Dead Domain problem.

And the answer of the Great Mercy Tree King is that when the turn of fate comes, all this will be healed.

[So. Is Dead Domain an incurable disease at the moment? 】

Seeing that Wang Dao was silent for a long time, Tighnari had some questions: "What's the matter, did you remember something, why didn't you speak?" ”

"It's a little clue, but it's useless." Wang Daoyi replied, and then asked, "I just said that the Dead Realm and the Demon Scale Disease may be caused by the contamination of the World Tree, so is there any way for the Akademiya to let people observe the World Tree?" ”

Since the Akademiya can conclude that the World Tree pollution caused the mutation, then the Akademiya must have a way to observe the World Tree.

"Of course, some forest-dwelling scholars will choose to link with the World Tree in order to pursue knowledge."

"Forest-dwelling period?" Wang Daoyi heard a new word.

Tighnari nodded and explained, "The Linqi Period, also known as the Linju Maniac Period, is a stage of scholars' cultivation. ”

"Oh, you said they were going to link to the World Tree, how did you do that?"

Wang Daoyi once queried the information of the World Tree in the Void Terminal, but in the feedback, there was only one sentence that the authority was insufficient.

The Akademiya seems to share the Void Terminal with all the people of Sumeru, as if it is very generous to share knowledge, but in fact, all kinds of knowledge of little value have been blocked.

If you don't go to the Akademiya for an assessment, if you don't accept the Akademiya's system, you don't want to get more advanced knowledge from the Void Terminal.

Tighnari didn't know Wang Daoyi's inner complaint about the Akademiya, of course, in fact, Tighnari himself didn't like the atmosphere of the Akademiya very much, and it was precisely because of this that he chose to come here to be a forest ranger.

"It's the use of something called Lingphenol incense, which can help people enter a meditative state, and in that state, there is a chance to connect with the World Tree."

Tighnari first explained, then looked at Wang Daoyi's shining eyes, and admonished solemnly: "I don't recommend you to use this thing, in fact, there are not a few scholars who go crazy every year because of linking to the World Tree. This is a very dangerous thing to do. ”

Linking the World Tree is a very dangerous thing in itself, a weak existence has a connection with a strong person, even if the strong person does not move, the weak person will inevitably be 'assimilated'.

Not to mention that this powerhouse, the World Tree, has already had problems in speculation, and now to link to him can be said to be looking for death.

"Crazy? I've heard of 'Mad Scholar' in Aru Village, is there anything to do with it? ”

"That's the scholars who went crazy after linking the World Tree, they have lost the ability to continue exploring knowledge, so the Akademiya sent them to Aru Village."

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, and sent a group of crazy people to the desert, is this to let those scholars fend for themselves?
