In the city of Sumeru, a young man led a little girl and walked in the vast crowd.

"How about it, would you like to try it?"

Finding that the little girl's eyes were looking at the stall on the side, Wang Daoyi asked out loud.

Retracting her gaze from the snacks in the stall, Nahida blinked wide, "Daoyi, is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Wang Daoyi walked to the snack stall and looked at the boss, "Boss, pack me some candy." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a small bag of Mora.

Although I learned to send bills with someone, Wang Daoyi still had Mora on him.

The boss took Mora, quickly wrapped a large bag of candy, and handed it to Wang Daoyi.

"Try it, if it's delicious." Wang Dao handed Nahida a handful of candy.

Taking the candy and putting it in her mouth, Nahida's eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

"It's delicious, it's as good as the candy used to be."

"Has Nahida ever eaten candy before?"

"Well, when the sages first brought me back, there were many festivals, and at the festivals, I ate this candy, and I remember its name, Yalta candy, which has a lot of flavors."

As she spoke, Nahida stretched out her hand, took a candy, stood on tiptoe, and came to Wang Daoyi's mouth: "Daoyi, try it too." ”

Looking at Nahida's expectant eyes, Wang Daoyi couldn't say anything that he didn't want to eat, so he could only open his mouth to catch the candy.

The slight sweetness was fleeting, and then there was intense bitterness, and before Wang Daoyi could frown, a slight sweetness appeared.

Looking at Wang Daoyi's tangled expression after eating the candy, Nahida showed a prank and successful expression.

However, when Wang Daoyi hadn't found out yet, he regained his innocence and cuteness.

"Well, isn't it a funny candy?" Nahida asked.

Wang Dao looked embarrassed: "The taste is complex and difficult to describe." ”

"Hmph, Dao Yi is really stupid, this is the taste of life!" Nahida looked like a little adult.

A taste of life?

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, it was really an image.

First sweet and then bitter, then bitter and then sweet, isn't it life!

"Hahahaha, it's life, it's life, Nahida is so smart." Wang Daoyi suddenly realized and praised Nahida.

But Nahida shook her head: "It's not me who is smart, it's the one who invented this candy." ”

"Hundreds of years ago, at a festival, I ate this sweet and bitter candy, and I didn't understand its meaning at the time, until the sages were disappointed in me and closed me in the Pure Good Palace, I realized that sweetness is not permanent, sweetness and suffering are life."

After Nahida was picked up by the sage and brought back to Sumeru, she also had a very happy time, when people would hold celebrations for her and hold various events for her, until.

"If the candy maker knew that his gods understood his mind, he would be sweet too." Wang Daoyi rubbed Nahida's hair, and there was a trace of distress in his eyes.

Nahida shook her head: "I'm not a very good god, you see, Sumeru is also good without me now." ”

"How so? The current Sumeru will be fine because of you, and without you, Sumeru will not be safe. ”

Wang Daoyi knew very well that if there was no little auspicious grass king, the fatui, the abyss, and the remnants of various demon gods might directly swallow Sumeru.

The very existence of a god, even a young one, is enormous.

Whether it's Mondstadt, Liyue, or Inazuma, the gods don't care much

The most diligent emperor of the rock king, only once a year, and now he even faked his death and retired directly, and entered the monarch disconnection system.

And the other two kingdoms, the monarch offline system and the monarch hanging mechanism, are good proof that the gods don't need to run the kingdom, as long as you are there, it is a kind of guarantee.

"Really?" Nahida was not confident.

Wang Daoyi nodded very solemnly: "Of course, Nahida is a very, very gentle god, and everyone will like you." ”

"Will the gentle gods be loved by everyone?" Nahida was suddenly a little lonely,

"However, sages and them, they are all disappointed in me, I don't have the wisdom of the Great Mercy Tree King, and I don't have any great power, I can't solve the withering of the World Tree, and even. Not even their demonic scales can be solved. ”

Nahida was particularly upset, she had been trying to be a qualified god, but. It never worked out.

He could not satisfy the sage's thirst for knowledge,

He can't restore the withering of the World Tree,

He could not save the people of Sumeru who were tormented by the Demonic Scale Disease.

He was like. Nothing can be done.

Feeling that Nahida's mood became depressed, Wang Daoyi did not continue to comfort her, but just took Nahida's hand: "Don't think so much, let's go to the show together, I heard that there will be a very good dance performance in the Grand Bazaar today." ”

Nahida's loneliness disappeared, her little face glowed with some anticipation, and she took Wang Daoyi's hand: "Okay, watch the show." ”

Like an elder brother and a younger sister, the two walked all the way to the Grand Bazaar, where there were already many plainly dressed people waiting, and there were many small stalls selling around.

"Do you want to eat more?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Nahida shook her head, food wasn't necessary for her, as long as she wanted candy just now, it was just because of the memories of the past.

Wang Dao smiled and went to the stall on the side to buy some snacks: "Here, since you want to be an excellent god, then you have to try more of everyone's life, eating snacks and watching performances, which is what ordinary people do." ”

looked at everyone on the side, more or less holding a small snack, especially the children, everyone had a bag full of hands, and looked at the snacks handed over by Wang Daoyi.

Nahida smiled and reached out to take it, "Thank you, Daoyi." ”

Wang Dao smiled, and also picked up a bag of snacks and ate it, it was dried fruit made of some pulp, and it tasted very good.

[Perhaps, you can buy a little when you go back and bring it back to Wanmintang]

Just as I was thinking, the curtain was lifted on the stage and the dance began.

Under everyone's expectations, a girl wearing the characteristic costume of the god of flowers walked to Taichung.

To the accompaniment of many musical instruments, the girl dances.

The graceful posture dances, like the most beautiful picture in the world.

The light song and dance, like the phoenix soaring, dancing in style, is really beautiful.

"I've seen it many times through Catherine's eyes, but it's the first time I've been there." Nahida muttered softly.

Wang Daoyi heard Nahida's whisper: "Dance is part of the arts, if Nahida likes it, we can come more often in the future." ”

Because the current Great Sage does not like entertainment projects, there is very little entertainment content in the void, and it is difficult for Nahida to see these in the void.

"Do you come often? But. I also have to study, learn more knowledge, so that I can become a competent god. ”

Nahida was a little moved, but she was dwelling on her responsibilities.

Wang Daoyi is helpless, look at what a good god, what a god he has been pua by the sages.

"Watching a performance is also learning, you see, today you learned how to watch a performance, and you know the taste of snacks, which is all information that is not available in the void."

"The sages of the Akademiya have entered all kinds of knowledge into the void, but they have not entered everything of the people into it, Nahida, you are the god of the people of Sumeru, not the Akademiya."

Looking at Nahida's bewildered eyes, Wang Daoyi continued: "The God of Wind will not only favor the Church of the Wind God, the God of Rock will not only trust the Seven Stars, and the God of Thunder will not be open to the Cult, so, Nahida, the Akademiya is not all you have, and the denial of the Akademiya is not necessarily correct, you should come out and take a look and listen to the voices of the people of Sumeru." ”

After listening to Wang Daoyi's words, Nahida was even more overwhelmed, or rather, he was afraid, afraid that he would really come in front of everyone, afraid that he would really take over the authority given to him by the Great Tree of Mercy.

Having been denied by the Akademiya for 500 years, even with the tenderest heart in the world, Nahida has a hard time believing that she will be a qualified god.

"But I don't know how to be a qualified god yet!"

When persuasion failed, Wang Daoyi shook his head, it was too difficult to restore Nahida's confidence.

[Perhaps, only by forcing her to a dead end can she use her sense of responsibility to the people of Sumeru to force him to come to the forefront. 】

[So. Just go ahead and let the Great Sage serve as a ladder for Nahida's growth. 】

"Okay, okay, then when Nahida is tired of studying, let's come out to watch the show and play together, okay."

"Good!"

The topic ended, and the two continued to watch the performance.
