Chapter 498: Tinder

chatted with Zhongli for a long time in Yunhan Club,

After Yun Jin's song ended, she also faded her costume and came to the guest table.

"Mr. Zhongli is fine, Daoyi, I haven't been here for a long time, and I can only see Mr. Zhongli alone in this position."

Yun Jin's slightly powdered eyes looked at Wang Daoyi, with some curiosity in her eyes.

Wang Daoyi arched his hand at Yun Jin: "Don't blame Mr. Yun, you are entangled in mundane things, without Yaxing who listens to the play, these skies are a little idle, don't you come." ”

Wang Daoyi and Yun Jin are actually old acquaintances, everyone spent the Sea Lantern Festival together, and the relationship between Yun Jin and Xiangling is also good.

And Wang Daoyi came to listen to the play with Zhongli a long time ago.

But in the past six months, in this position that was contracted by Wang Dao, there was only Zhongli's figure, which had to make Yun Jin wonder, could it be that his skills had regressed? Old customers are not coming?

"Haha, that's good, that's good, there's a new play tomorrow, don't forget to watch it."

Yun Jin said with a smile, then added tea to the two of them, and waited until someone called in the background before leaving.

After Yun Jin left,

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "I was originally going to go back to the desert tomorrow, but now it seems that this drama will not be listened to." ”

"Listening to Mr. Yun's play, it's not a bad thing to delay a little time." Zhongli returned to his flat appearance, as if it was not him who showed his murderous aura just now.

"The emperor has an appointment in the evening, why don't you go to Wanmin Hall for dinner?" Wang Daoyi invited.

Zhongli nodded: "Okay." ”

When he promised to eat, he was always so cheerful,

He really, I cried to death.

stayed in Yunhan Club until it was getting dark,

After the closing ceremony,

Wang Daoyi and Zhong Li left the theater club.

The two walked down the street, and it seemed that they had returned to the time when they first met.

"Let's go, Mr. Zhongli, let's go to dinner." Wang Daoyi stretched out his hand, as if he was receiving a distinguished guest.

Zhongli smiled, and then said, "Ha, if Gongzi walks out of the side at this time, it will be even more appropriate." ”

Wang Daoyi shook his head, "You've thought too much, the Northland Bank was destroyed by the Seven Stars, and Childe won't come to Liyue to invite you to dinner again." ”

"It's a pity." Zhongli sighed, but he didn't know whether he was lamenting the collapse of the Northland Bank, or lamenting that Gongzi would not invite him to dinner.

The two talked and laughed, and walked towards Wanmin Hall.

Halfway through,

A fiery figure came out of the trail.

"Zhongli, I said today that I would go to sell business, what about you?"

Master Hu looked at his biggest fishing employee angrily, and his heart was already angry.

With this kind of employee, how can we do a good job in the Death Hall, and how can we carry forward the business of the Death Hall?

Zhongli, who was caught fishing, didn't look embarrassed at all,

He gestured to Wang Daoyi beside Hu Tao: "Don't worry, hall master, when I met Daoyi today, I chatted for a while, and it would be good to go to sell business tomorrow." ”

Only then did Hu Tao find Wang Daoyi standing next to Zhongli: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Dao, Brother Dao I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss it very much." ”

"Master Hu is polite, he has been away for a long time, and he came to visit Mr. Zhongli when he returned home recently, if there is anything to disturb, please forgive Master Hu." Wang Daoyi smiled and covered Zhongli.

With outsiders here, Hu Tao naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Zhongli, and waved his hand magnificently: "That's it, since it's a friend appointment, then naturally I can't help it, I'll spare you today, Zhongli." ”

Zhongli arched his hand at Hu Tao: "Then thank you Hu Hall Master Haihan." ”

"We're going to Wanmin Hall for dinner, do you want to come with Hall Master Hu too?"

"No, no, I scared Xiangling last month, and I guess I haven't forgotten it, and now in the past, Guoba will bite me." Hu Tao had a scared expression, and then waved his hand at the two, "I have something to do, goodbye." ”

After speaking, the master of Hu Tang left in a hurry.

"The business of the Afterlife Hall is so busy?" Wang Daoyi looked at Zhongli curiously.

Zhongli shook his head: "The hall master should be investigating something, you know, I have never been able to deal with the hall master." ”

The corners of Wang Dao's mouth twitched,

You can't handle the walnuts, you still fish every day?

Regarding Zhongli's words that he couldn't deal with Hu Tao, Wang Daoyi would believe half of it now.

Laughing, the two came to Wanmin Hall.

"Xiangling, I'll invite Mr. Zhongli to dinner tonight." Wang Daoyi shouted into the kitchen.

Xiangling's little head poked out of the kitchen: "Okay, you sit, I'll prepare it for you." ”

Led Zhongli to the guest table in the corner, and the two sat down and continued to talk about some topics that ordinary people couldn't understand.

What elemental creation, what hand-rubbing divine weapons and so on.

Soon

Xiangling came up with the dishes.

"At noon, Brother Dao Yi said that he was going out, and I knew that he was going to visit Mr. Zhongli, so I prepared good dishes early in the morning and waited for you to come."

After being with Wang Daoyi for so long, Xiangling is also familiar with Wang Daoyi's circle of friends in Liyue.

There are only a few people who can play together,

Xingqiu Chongyun had just separated, and the only one who went out to see him was Zhongli.

Since I saw Zhongli, according to the custom, it was time to invite you to dinner.

So Xiangling had already prepared good wine and food, waiting for someone to come.

I have to say that there is always a tacit understanding between husband and wife.

"Chef Xiangling's craftsmanship has become more and more sophisticated, and this kind of delicacy cannot be eaten elsewhere."

Zhongli was not polite at all, picked up the chopsticks and started,

While tasting, he also praised Xiangling.

Xiangling smiled happily: "If you like it, if there is anything that can be improved, you can also talk more." ”

Zhongli shook his head: "The fresh fragrance and color are all of the highest quality, even if it is me, it is difficult to find fault." ”

"Did you hear that, you got Mr. Zhongli's affirmation." Wang Daoyi said with a smile on the side.

A long time ago, after Zhongli found a lot of faults with Xiangling's dishes, Xiangling took Zhongli as a target to overcome.

However, although she is one of Liyue's best chefs, she is often defeated by Zhongli.

Zhongli's experience is too rich.

Until today, Zhongli finally recognized Xiangling's craftsmanship.

Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Xiangling's little face again.

"Hehe, you eat, I'll continue to serve you food."

The little cook smiled and walked towards the kitchen, her steps a little lighter.

"When are you and Xiangling going to do something?"

"Xiangling has already agreed to be my dependent, wait for the environment to be better on the other side of the desert."

"When the time comes, I will make good news for you."

"I can't ask for it."

The two were eating and chatting about the little things in life.

When you are full of wine and food,

Wang Daoyi said goodbye to Zhongli,

Xiangling stood behind Wang Daoyi and looked at the young man expectantly: "Brother Daoyi, what you just said"

Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded: "Well, when the environment on the other side of the desert is better, we will get married." ”

The girl hugged the boy, her eyes full of joy.

Guoba: I'm full.

——

After spending a few days in Liyue,

finally reluctantly left Xiangling's boudoir,

Wang Daoyi came to the Aid Institute and found Abatui.

"Let's go, let's go back to Sumeru."

Babatoi was full of anticipation and beckoned to the mechanical crab beside him: "Kakata, we can go home." ”

Kakata: "Ka~"

The mechanical crab didn't understand what it meant to go home, but it could sense that its owner was very excited, and it stepped aside and made Abatui a cup of coffee.

Then he paused slightly, as if he was thinking, and went to make a cup for Wang Daoyi.

"Thank you, Kakata." Wang Daoyi took the coffee handed over by the mechanical crab, and then looked at Abatui, "Ha, Kakata's intelligence seems to have improved a lot?" ”

"With the support of Seven Stars and sufficient resources, I analyzed some of the Fatui's technologies and upgraded Kakata's intelligent module." Abatui replied.

Seven Stars' support for Abatui is absolutely powerful, and the weapons developed by Abatuyi several times have made Seven Stars very interested in this Sumeru scholar.

However, there is no way now, Wang Daoyi has to take Abatui to Sumeru, I hope the Seven Stars will not mind.

"It seems that your skills are stronger, and it just so happens that Sumeru needs your help with a lot of things right now."

With a wave of his hand, he opened the leyline channel, and Wang Dao snapped his fingers, and the elemental shield shrouded Abbatui and Kakata,

looked at Kakata's mechanical body again,

With a single thought, the golden chains spread out of the void and bound Kakata.

"Let's go."

Sumeru City

Abatui looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scene,

The corners of the eyes slipped off again,

If there is no way, who would want to leave their homeland.

After two years on the run, he finally came back.

"Ka~"

Kakata looked at the excited owner and wanted to make him a cup of coffee, only to find that there was no coffee here.

There are a lot of Sumeru people who come and go,

Many people looked at Kakata with horror in their eyes.

The appearance of the Relic Machinery in Sumeru City is not a good thing.

Soon, a group of thirty mercenaries ran over.

When they saw Kakata, they immediately drew their weapons.

However, it soon discovered Wang Daoyi who was standing next to Kakata.

"High respect to you, great king of the desert, lord of the red sands."

The group of thirty obviously knew Wang Daoyi, and immediately put away their weapons and bowed slightly to Wang Daoyi.

"Excuse me, you and this relic machine"

Perhaps Nahida had rectified the Akademiya, and even in the face of Wang Daoyi, the group of thirty still cautiously asked.

Wang Daoyi naturally wouldn't embarrass a few little mercenaries.

With a wave of his hand, he pointed to Abatui: "It doesn't matter, this relic machine is the subject of this scholar's research. ”

Abatuyi stepped forward: "I am a scholar Abatui, and I have come back this time to re-register as a scholar. ”

"Abatui." The captain of the Thirty Regiment frowned slightly, and then his eyes lit up, "I remember, you are the scholar who studies mechanical life, ha, I also saw your wanted warrant back then." ”

As he spoke, the mercenary captain restrained his smile: "Scholar Abatui, although your wanted warrant has been revoked, you had better register as soon as possible for such a dangerous object as the relic machinery, otherwise it will easily cause panic." ”

Abatui nodded: "Okay, I'm sorry for you, I'll go to the Akademiya to register." ”

The mercenary captain nodded at Abatui, and then looked at Wang Daoyi: "Then I won't bother you." ”

After saying that, he took the people and left.

Seeing that the group of thirty did not move, the people around probably understood that this mechanical crab was the research object of scholars.

So they went back to their fineness and went about their own business.

"Sumeru City, it's really changed a lot." Abatui sighed,

If this had been released before, the Thirty-Man Regiment would have arrested him directly.

Research mechanical life, and bring relic machinery to Sumeru City, and eat a few days in prison first.

How could there be such a good voice and a good reminder to go to the Akademiya to register.

"If there is no change at all, then Nahida and I are not working in vain." Wang Daoyi chuckled, and then took a step, "Let's go, do you want me to take you to the Akademiya?" ”

"Are you okay? If you're busy, I'll go by myself, and I want to visit my former teachers and classmates. Abatui spoke.

Wang Dao nodded: "Then you can go by yourself." ”

With a flick of his fingers, a little golden mang fell on Abatui: "When I'm done, I'll come to you again, I have a big job for you to help." ”

After saying that, Wang Daoyi disappeared in place, leaving Abatui alone.

After standing for a moment, Abatui beckoned to Kakata: "Kakata, let's go, let's go to the Akademiya and visit. Former friends. ”

Kakata: Ka~

On the other side,

After Wang Daoyi left Abatuyi's side, he came directly to the Jingshan Palace.

In the pure good palace, which is almost empty like the Chisha Temple,

The little god curled up in the Tree King's meditation room, a sweet smile on his lips.

Although the sleeping position is still so distressing,

But His dream grew better.

Aware of someone entering His realm,

Nahida's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Daoyi, you're here."

The Tree King's meditation room slowly opened, and Nahida stepped out of it.

"Well, something happened that needs to be discussed with you."

The royal road is a little bit of a head,

He then talks to Nahida about hearing the scream of the grass dragon Apep during her desert adventures.

Nahida frowned at the sound of Apep's empty scream.

"Judging from your and my memories, the Great Mercy Tree King's elimination has taken away all the forbidden knowledge, so Apep should also recover." Nahida pondered, having the same puzzle as Wang Daoyi.

"I guess so, just like the people who had the demon scale disease before, even if the demon scale disease dissipates, it can't change the fact that they were sick before, so they are sick, but the body still needs time to recover."

"And the situation of Apep is obviously more serious than that of the Devil's Scale Disease, and the effect of the taboo pollution on it is stronger than the normal pain."

"Now the taboo pollution has dissipated, but the damage caused by the previous taboo pollution is still present in Apepe's body."

"That's why there is a certain emptiness in the concept of the existence of Apep, and it will let out such an empty cry."

Wang Daoyi told Nahida his guess.

Nahida nodded and shook her head.

"Wait, I'll look up the false memories covered by the World Tree first and see if there's any information."

Nahida closed her eyes and began to inquire about the false memories that the World Tree had overlaid in her memory.

For a while,

Nahida opened her eyes,

She looked at Wang Daoyi, "The World Tree hasn't covered me with much information about the Grass Dragon, but there is one thing that may be related to Him. ”

As she spoke, Nahida walked to the side of the Pure Shan Palace, as if looking for something,

After a while, she walked back with a green crystalline thing,

"This thing, I don't have too many traces in my memory, but it appeared in the Jingshan Palace, you see the elemental power in it, it is similar to me, but it is different."

Wang Dao thought for a moment: "That may be left by the Great Cishu King." ”

Nahida nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for the memories you shared, I might have thought it was my own legacy, but now it seems that it was left by the Great Mercy Tree King." ”

"This thing has something to do with Apepe?" Wang Daoyi frowned and asked.

Nahida: "Although all my memories of the Great Tree of Mercy are shared by you, as the last god of wisdom, he must have considered what would happen when the forbidden knowledge was gone. ”

"After you talked to me about Apep, this thing appeared in the memory given by the World Tree, then, in the logic of the World Tree, I am the first generation of grass gods, and the memories that emerge must be the back hand left by [me]."

"So, this thing should be the key item to help or destroy the grass dragon Apepe."

Nahida said to Wang Daoyi with a calm face.

Knowing that her memory was problematic, Nahida struggled to distinguish between what memories were real and what were covered by the World Tree.

Once he had made the distinction, he began to use the memories covered by the World Tree to verify something.

It can only be said. He is now the true God of wisdom.

"Can you show me?"

Wang Daoyi looked at the things in Nahida's hand and spoke.

Nahida naturally would not refuse, and handed over the things in her hand to Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi stretched out his hand and took it.

Green crystals, with branches and leaves popping out of them, and a golden wisp in the center of the crystal.

"Very pure elemental power."

"Heal, purify, reviverate."

"The Taste of Life"

Feel the flavor inside the green crystals.

Wang Daoyi said slowly: "It seems. The plan of the Great Tree King is to save Apep, which is a spark. ”

"Tinder?" Nahida was slightly stunned, then quickly understood, "I see, the Great Mercy Tree King expected that I would delete him, and also anticipated the problems that would arise after his disappearance, so he left this spark to save Apep who had become [empty]. ”

"But what should I do with this thing?"

Nahida was confused.

Wang Daoyi suddenly turned his head and looked at the gate of the Jingshan Palace: "Ha, I think, I will soon know what to use." ”

As soon as the words fell,

The gates of the Palace of Pure Kindness were pushed open,

"Nahida, Nahida, we have something to ask you for help with."

Paimon's lively voice came from the gate.

"Hey, Daoyi, you're here too."

As he flew in, Paimon saw Wang Daoyi, who was standing with Nahida.
