Chapter 561: A Different Choice
"Your Majesty."
The thirty-member group guarding the Jingshan Palace saw Wang Daoyi coming with people, and immediately saluted.
Wang Dao nodded, didn't say anything, and directly pushed the door and entered the Jingshan Palace.
The group of thirty naturally did not feel that the Lord of the Red Sand was rude, but felt that it was normal.
When there is a huge gap between the identities of the two sides,
Some of the originally rude actions will be rationalized.
Etiquette is a part of humility.
Take the wanderer into the Palace of Pure Benevolence,
I saw Nahida's small figure standing in front of the Tree King's meditation room, as if she was connected to the World Tree and reading something.
Didn't bother Nahida,
Wang Daoyi led the wanderer to the side and waited quietly.
Probably sensing the arrival of Wang Daoyi, Nahida did not delay for too long, and soon disconnected from the World Tree and opened her eyes.
"Daoyi, and this ...... Wanderers, here you are. ”
Wang Dao nodded: "Do you want to synchronize your memories first?" ”
Nahida's eyes lit up: "Yes, I have been searching in the World Tree for a long time, although I have found some clues, but it is still not enough, if there is your memory, you should be able to find more hidden fragments." ”
"Come on, then, I'll sync the memories to you."
As soon as Wang Dao stretched out his hand, a little light flickered on his fingertips.
I have had the experience of sharing the information of the Great Mercy Tree King before, and this time sharing the information of the Skirmishers was very smooth.
Nahida touched Wang Daoyi's fingertips, and a large amount of information poured into her mind.
From the skirmishers being sealed by the thunder movie, to the deception of the skirmishers being betrayed three times,
From the Skirmishers joining the Fatui, to the Skirmishers being used and abandoned by the Doctors,
The middle is also interspersed with the experience of Wang Daoyi 'flirting' with the stragglers several times.
After a few breaths,
Nahida archived her memories and opened her eyes again.
Then he looked at Wang Daoyi and the wanderer: "With Ling's memory, I can restore those real pictures in the World Tree, give me a little time." ”
"However, if you want him to recover his memories, then let him enter the memory corridor and re-experience those memories, this move is more dangerous, do you want to accompany him?"
The last question, Nahida was asking Wang Daoyi.
The so-called memory corridor is the place where the World Tree stores the memories of all living beings.
If the wanderer wants to retrieve the memories of the Balladeer, they must enter the memory corridor and relive what the Balladeer experienced.
Of course, this time it's from God's perspective,
In addition to empathizing with the pain experienced by the stragglers,
The Balladeer's emotions do not directly affect the wanderer.
Unless...... The wanderers thoroughly accept the stragglers.
However, Wang Daoyi frowned slightly and asked him to go to the memory corridor to protect the wanderer, but Wang Daoyi was not very happy.
If the wanderer chooses to retrieve the memories of the Balladeer and fully accept the Balladeer, then isn't he equivalent to protecting the Balladeer?
What a shame that is.
The king doesn't want it.
"I won't accompany him, if he accepts the skirmishers, then how ashamed I am." Wang Daoyi clearly refused to protect the Dharma for the wanderer.
On the side, the wanderer's eyes were slightly lost, judging from Wang Daoyi's reaction, the mistakes he had made may be really big.
is so big that the other party helps him protect the Fa, and he feels that he is ashamed.
Nahida frowned slightly: "If no one helps, he will be dangerous." ”
Although she knew in her heart that wanderers were stragglers, Nahida was still reluctant to let wanderers enter the memory corridor alone on an adventure.
If something happened, Nahida would never want to see it.
Wang Daoyi pursed his lips: "In that case, then find a helper." ”
The wanderer was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss: "However, I don't have any other friends." ”
Wang Daoyi smiled mysteriously: "Although you don't have friends, you have enemies." ”
As he spoke, Wang Daoyi looked at Nahida: "I'll go find Ying, you watch this guy first." ”
Wang Daoyi is not worried that the wanderer will hurt Nahida,
Let's not talk about whether the wanderer who has not retrieved the ascension status is Nahida's opponent,
Even if he had the strength to threaten Nahida, his heart would not let him attack Nahida.
exchanged words with Nahida,
With a wave of his hand, the leyline channel emerged, engulfing the royal road.
At this time, the wanderer reacted, it turned out that he had many enemies?
Nahida could fully understand the wanderer's amazement.
When the wanderer reads the Balladeer's memories, he will know how many enemies he has.
"You can rest for a while, and when the people from the Dao area come back, you should be busy."
With that, Nahida ignored the wanderer's curious gaze and reconnected with the World Tree, searching for other scattered memories of the Balladeer.
On the other side,
Mondstadt,
After the Wind Flower Festival ended, Ying and Paimon didn't leave immediately.
The relocation of the Lawrence family is still more troublesome,
After all, Longji Snow Mountain is still a dangerous place,
Although the Lawrence family has quite a few warriors, there are many more ordinary people.
So, Ying was hired to become a member of the Guardian Knights,
Responsible for overseeing and protecting the Lawrence family's relocation to the Dragonspine Mountains.
"It's cold." Paimon rubbed his little arm, shivering.
Ying nodded, compared to Mondstadt City, which is like spring all year round, this side of Longji Snow Mountain is indeed a desperate situation.
Terrible winds and snowstorms blow all year round,
At the highest point of the snow-capped mountains, the nail of the cold sky still maintains the extreme climate environment here.
Looking at the Lawrence people not far away,
There was a trace of unbearability in Ying's eyes.
Some of these Lawrence people are very old, and some are young children.
It is not a good choice for such young and old to appear in the snow-capped mountain area.
However, Ying finally held back and didn't speak.
This is a matter for the Lawrence family, and as an honorary knight of the Order, she is really hard to talk about.
Moreover, the Lawrence people, despite the wind and snow, remained silent, and no one complained.
Having abandoned the family estate in Mondstadt, they have been holding their breath in their hearts.
They will not be defeated by suffering until this breath is relaxed.
Suddenly,
The elemental gems on the waist of the glow shine,
The golden glimmer quickly attracted the attention of the people around him,
Several of the Favoniur Knights who were traveling with Ying showed curiosity in their eyes.
"Ying, it's the elemental gem of Daoyi." Paimon reminded.
Ying nodded: "Probably Daoyi is positioning us." ”
As soon as the voice fell, the light on the elemental gem shook, and a dark blue passage opened, and Wang Daoyi walked out of it.
"I said that it was a little obscure how to locate it, it turned out to be in Longji Snow Mountain." Wang Daoyi complained.
The Spike of Punishment will suppress the flow of leylines in the area.
And Wang Daoyi's shuttle technology relies on the leylines,
Therefore, where the nail of punishment is used, his leyline shuttle technique will still be affected.
Ying didn't care about Wang Daoyi's complaints, and looked at him, "Didn't you just leave Mondstadt?" Why is it coming again? ”
"I ran into a straggler who had lost his memory in Liyue, and I brought him back to Sumeru."
Wang Daoyi briefly introduced Ying to the encounter with the wanderer, and brought him back to Sumeru to regain his memory.
After listening to Wang Daoyi's words, Ying nodded: "So, do you want me to help me enter that memory corridor with him and retrieve those memories of the stragglers?" ”
Wang Dao nodded: "That's right, the wanderer is like a blank sheet of paper now, even if I want to punish him, it is not good to treat him and the skirmisher as one person, so only if he can retrieve the memory of the straggler, I can continue to deal with him." ”
"But why me? My relationship with the stragglers is not good! Ying resisted.
It sounded like she was helping the Balladeers, but Ying didn't want to do anything like that.
"It's because of your bad relationship with the Balladeer that I thought of you, and in addition to helping the wanderer retrieve the Balladeer's memories, you are also responsible for spying on him."
Of course, in front of the two gods Wang Daoyi and Nahida, the wanderer will definitely not be able to make any waves.
The surveillance argument is just to convince Ying.
Sure enough, hearing the statement of surveillance, Ying's expression loosened slightly.
However, she looked at the Lawrence people not far away: "Can you wait a while?" When they got to the camp, we set off again. ”
Wang Dao's eyes turned: "Where did Eula set up the camp?" ”
"Over there in the Snow Burial Capital, it's a suburban area." Ying replied.
Wang Dao was in a hurry, and it seemed that Eula really had the idea of taking the Lawrence family away from Mondstadt.
That location, while still Mondstadt's territory, is geographically very close to the town of Mingyun in Liyue.
If the Lawrence family could extend their sphere of influence to the back of the snowy mountains and build a dockyard there, perhaps they would be able to trade with Liyue instead.
Departing from the back of the snow-capped mountains, you can take a boat through the sea area between Yaoguang Beach and Guyun Pavilion to follow the coastline of Yunlai Sea directly to Liyue Harbor.
With Liyue Harbor as a procurement office, the Lawrence family could truly break free from Mondstadt's control over resources and begin a full-scale revival.
Wang Daoyi didn't know if this was chosen by Eula on purpose, but the other party definitely knew that it was feasible.
Looking at the many Lawrence people who were facing the wind and snow, Wang Dao nodded: "Okay, then let's wait until you complete the escort mission." ”
He didn't mean to help,
This is Lawrence's path to redemption, as an alien god, if he rashly intervenes, it is really provoking Barbatos.
The wind of the snow-capped mountains is also the wind.
With a calm face, Wang Daoyi watched as these Lawrence people, who could be called old, weak, sick and disabled, were advancing towards a new gathering place under the protection of the young and strong people in the clan.
And at the front of the line,
Eula wields a great sword and leads Lawrence's last warriors to open the way,
Although the environment of the snow-capped mountains is harsh, it doesn't mean that there are no monsters here.
On the contrary, in the harsh environment of the snow-capped mountains, most of the monsters here are affected by the ice element, which is even more difficult to deal with.
From the hilichurls with ice crossbows and ice shields,
To the ice trick that travels underground,
There's even the Ice Helmet King of Hilichurl.
These monsters may not be anything to Eula,
But for ordinary Lawrences, it was already a mortal threat.
"Inform the patrolling soldiers, pay attention to the surrounding environment, and beware of monster sneak attacks."
"Yes, my lord."
Looking at the warrior who turned to leave, Eula hid the faint confusion in her heart.
Although all this is her plan, now that she has broken the situation, she is still a little unconfident that the Lawrence family can re-emerge in this harsh environment.
Because when the Lawrence family settles down,
According to the agreement, these last warriors of the Lawrence family will set off with the next batch of expeditionary supplements to support the Grand Master.
The Lawrence family's power in the snowy mountains will instantly enter a weak period.
Survive it, and then it will be revived.
If you can't hold on, then you will fall.
At the back of the team, Wang Daoyi stood beside Ying,
Something suddenly came to mind.
The Lawrence family made a mistake,
The skirmishers also made mistakes,
And now, Eula Lawrence has chosen to face those mistakes and sincerely apologize, in exchange for the hope that the Lawrence family will start again.
The stragglers chose to self-destruct, hoping to change history through their disappearance.
The essence of one is to bear the face, and the other is to escape from reality.
In the face of Eula Lawrence's perseverance and determination, Wang Daoyi seemed to look down on the evasive skirmisher even more.
Obviously, in terms of strength, the stragglers abused Eula.
But when it comes to taking responsibility, the stragglers are too much of Eula.
Wang Daoyi's changing expression attracted Ying's attention.
"Daoyi, what's wrong?" Ying asked with some curiosity.
Wang Daoyi shook his head and said, "Seeing Eula's approach, I thought of the evasion of the stragglers, and suddenly I felt that the stragglers were even worse. ”
Ying was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Wang Daoyi to associate Eula with the Balladeers.
However, she thought about Wang Daoyi's words for a while, and then nodded very approvingly: "Indeed, Eula took on the responsibility that was not entirely hers, and the skirmisher seemed to have made sacrifices, but he evaded his responsibility, so it seems that it is really bad." ”
"So, be sure to remind him of what he's done, and then see what choice he makes." Wang Dao said viciously.
He couldn't do anything to the pure white wanderer, but when the Balladeer's memory returned, he wouldn't be polite.
The team of the Lawrence family marched silently in the snowy mountains,
There was no crying, no whining,
Everyone gritted their teeth, holding that breath in their hearts.
Until a few days and nights later,
The team arrived at Eula's chosen destination,
A canyon in a snow-capped mountain,
Surrounded by mountain peaks, the wind and snow here are much smaller, and although the environment is still harsh, it is enough as a settlement.
After commanding his people to camp on the spot and clear the camp,
Eula came to the side of the Knights,
"The Lawrence family will be stationed here, you can go back and report to Captain Jean."
Several of the knights who were watching looked at each other, and then nodded at Eula: "Okay, Captain Eula, then we'll go first, you take care." ”
Eula's status in the Knights has not been canceled, and to the Knights, they still prefer to accept Eula's status as the captain of the guerrilla knights rather than the status of the head of the Lawrence family.
The knights left,
But Ying didn't leave together, she told the knight to let them inform Jean that after she completed the task, she would go directly to Sumeru.
"Ying, thank you for escorting you all the way." Eula thanked Ying.
Although Ying is tasked with spying on the Lawrence family, the escorts along the way are not fake.
Ying shook her head: "I'm an honorary knight, I should." ”
Eula smiled, ending the sins of the Lawrence family, she seemed to be much more cheerful, and her whole temperament was even more ...... Sunshine up.
Turning his head to look at Wang Daoyi: "Your Majesty, is there anything you need me to do for you?" ”
In fact, Eula knew a few days ago that Wang Daoyi appeared here.
But the identity of the king and a god still makes Eula jealous,
In order to avoid accidents halfway,
So Eula never came over to meet Wang Daoyi,
Now that the Lawrence family has settled,
Eula chose to meet with Wang Daoyi and inquire about the matter.
Wang Daoyi shook his head flatly: "It's okay, I'm here to find Ying, and it has nothing to do with Lawrence." ”
Glancing at Ying, Eula thought about the relationship between the Honorary Knight and this Sumeru god in her heart, but it didn't reveal it on the surface,
"I see, then, let's come to the central camp to rest together, the wind and snow outside are a little heavy."
Eula invited.
Ying looked at Wang Daoyi,
Wang Daoyi shook his head: "I still have something to do with Ying, so I won't stay much, but you can invite Amber." ”
His gaze looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, and behind the pines and cypresses, a red figure tried to hide itself.
As Eula's best friend, how could Amber not follow Aula when Eula led the Lawrence family to relocate.
Ever since the Lawrence family left Mondstadt, Amber has been following her.
Eula followed Wang Daoyi's eyes to look at the red figure hiding behind the pine and cypress, and a trace of warmth appeared in her eyes.
nodded to Wang Dao in gratitude: "Then I won't bother the two of you." ”
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the red figure.
She's going to see Amber.
After Eula is gone,
Wang Daoyi beckoned to Ying and Paimon: "It's okay here, let's go, Nahida has been waiting for several days." ”
It took a few days to escort the Lawrence family here,
Nahida had no idea of time.
But the wanderer was probably already in a bit of a hurry when he was waiting in the Jingshan Palace.
"Okay, let's go." Ying nodded.
Paimon flies beside Ying, and she really doesn't remember the Balladeers anymore, so she doesn't care much about the Balladeers, but since Ying is going, Paimon will follow.
So, the three of them disappeared into the wind and snow and went to Sumeru through the leyline passage.
Sumeru Jingshan Palace,
is different from Wang Daoyi's imagination,
Although I waited for several days,
But the wanderer is not impatient,
In Wang Daoyi's cognition, he still treats the wanderer as a straggler.
But in reality, the character and thinking of the wanderer is completely different from that of the balladeer,
Although Wang Daoyi was gone, Nahida ignored him,
But the wanderer stayed quietly in the corner of the Jingshan Palace,
One thought quietly, without showing any negative emotions.
Until the blue light shines in the palace of pure goodness,
After Wang Daoyi returned here with Ying and Paimon,
A different expression appeared on his face.
It's anticipation.
