With Qin's consent, the Chisha tribe began to collect materials with confidence.

From the desert to the edge of the world, to the far north, it is useless to adapt to the cold.

There is not enough material supply, which will definitely lead to the collapse of the whole line,

Of course, materials such as warmth do not need to be considered by Chisha,

The information given by the Akademiya, they are already preparing.

Chisha only needs to ensure the supply of weapons for his own fighters.

Fortunately, although there is a shortage of materials in the desert, there are not many veins in the underground area.

There are both marcaite and crystal ore, and the supply and repair of weapons are completely self-sufficient.

A steady stream of ore is mined, transported to the Red Sands headquarters, and then stored as weapons or ingots.

When the Chisha and the Akademiya were stockpiling supplies,

In the depths of the desert,

Wisps of weird energy leaked out,

In the sky above the mother tree of ten thousand species, a 'gorgeous' and strange celestial phenomenon appeared.

"Scholar, it's the [Celestial Phenomenon of Burning Truth], we need to collect the spiritual light as soon as possible and complete the great cause of sacrifice."

The little flower spirit Si Lusha looked at the sky with a look of excitement, and looked at Na Jia Zhu Na, the head of the group beside him.

Na Xian Zhu's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be as excited as Si Lusha: "Please rest assured, Lord Si Lusha, I have sent someone to find the traces of the spiritual light, and we will definitely accomplish this great cause." ”

After speaking, Naxian Zhu Na turned to look at the soldiers on the side: "Bi Luo, go to the entrance of Tiemu Mountain, watch the road, don't let those irrelevant people enter here, so as not to disturb the great cause of sacrifice." ”

The warrior Bi Luo nodded: "Okay, Xueshou." ”

Slusha frowned slightly, she felt that something was wrong, but she didn't have much of a clue.

That Xian Juna seemed to feel Si Lusha's doubts, and quickly explained: "Lord Si Lusha, to complete the great cause of sacrifice, it takes a lot of rituals, this is to avoid the rituals being destroyed by outsiders who don't understand. ”

Slusha nodded, believing Na Xianjuna's words: "Okay, I don't understand, but Xueshou, you have to hurry up." ”

Na Xian Zhu Na nodded: "Please rest assured, Lord Slusha, I will do it as soon as possible, you go to rest first, and leave everything to me." ”

Little Flower flapped her wings and flew away.

After Slusha left,

That Xian Zhu's expression became ugly.

He came to a secret room.

Strange rituals are placed in the secret room,

As Na Xian Zhu sang easily, wisps of purple breath emerged.

"Then Xianjuna, what is the matter of calling me?" An eerie voice rang out.

Na Xian Zhu's expression was ugly: "Why is there a celestial phenomenon now, I haven't collected all the spiritual light yet." ”

On the other end of the ceremony, the unknown being seemed to be a little disdainful when he heard Na Xianjuna's complaints.

A deep but distorted voice resounded in the chamber,

"The content of the deal is that you give us spiritual light, we give you eternal life, then Xianjuna, we are not obliged to wait for your plan to be completed."

"But the appearance of the Burning Truth Celestial Phenomenon will inevitably attract the attention of the outside world, if it is the Akademiya, it is fine, but if it attracts the attention of the one in the desert, I don't think you can hide it!"

Then Zhu Na drank loudly.

The other side of the ceremony was slightly silent before continuing to speak: "That one is indeed a trouble, hmph, we will help you drag his gaze, then Xian Juna, if you can't collect the spiritual light as soon as possible, then don't think about your eternal life." ”

After giving a candy and a stick, the ritual gradually subsided, and no more words appeared on the other side.

Looking at the purple aura that gradually disappeared in the secret room,

"I'm going to make it."

Naxian Zhu Na's expression was cold, he whispered to himself, and then left the secret room.

A few days later,

Ying and Paimon appear in the Adventurers' Guild in Sumeru City,

"Catherine, we picked this up in the desert." Paimon shouted at Miss Catherine.

Ying also handed a small drum with the ice elemental symbol to Catherine.

When Ying and Paimon were adventuring in the desert, they stumbled upon this small drum.

It has the imprint of the Adventurers' Guild on it,

So I sent it back.

The moment Catherine saw the snare drum, she knew what was going on.

"Thank you two for getting things back, thank you very much." Catherine takes the snare drum and thanks Ying and Paimon.

Ying waved her hand: "It's nothing, then we'll go first." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave,

Catherine looked at Ying and Paimon, and then spoke, "Two, please stay." ”

Paimon turned, "What's wrong, Catherine?" ”

"Both, are you interested in taking a commission?"

"Is the commission a high reward? If you are high, you will be interested! Paimon rubbed his hands together.

During the celebration, in order to give Layla the ability to intercept Ah Hat,

Ying consumed a large amount of precious materials and a large amount of Mora to set up a magic circle for Layla.

As a result, Ying and Paimon are now very short of money.

Catherine had a smile on her face: "Of course, this is a commission from the Akademiya, and the reward is very generous. ”

"Then we will accept it, let's talk about it, where to go, what to kill, how much to kill!" The glow is menacing.

The corners of Catherine's mouth twitched, and then she quickly shook her head: "No, no, you misunderstood, it's not a commission to clean up, it's a commission to investigate and contact." ”

With that, Catherine told Ying what had happened and how it had happened.

The specific reasons for the commission are:

Scholars at the Akademiya observed strange celestial phenomena in the desert sky that they had never seen before, and they feared that the appearance of such celestial phenomena would have an impact on astrology.

So they sent someone to investigate, and it was found that this celestial phenomenon was very similar to the [Celestial Phenomenon of Burning Truth] in ancient records.

This vision was only seen five hundred years ago, during a cataclysm that struck Teyvat.

How it disappeared is unknown, but it is certain that the location of the Burning Celestial Phenomenon was near Mount Timu in the northern part of the desert.

That is where the nameless adventurer sneaked into the [Nagajuna] Order.

However, the Timu Mountain region itself was inaccessible, and even when the Ancient Desert Country was at its strongest, its territory did not extend there.

Especially after the catastrophe 500 years ago, it was also one of the areas most seriously eroded by the abyss because the underground of Tiemu Mountain was once connected to the ancient underground country.

As a result, the area of Mount Timu was also classified as a [forbidden area] by the Akademiya, and now there is only one occult school stationed in the area of Mount Timu, which the Akademiya calls the [Naga Juna Regiment].

The Naga Juna group also belonged to the school of the Akademiya, but it was separated from the Akademiya 500 years ago.

This former school was founded because there were scholars in the Akademiya who were interested in fighting against the monsters of the abyss.

Later, they went on an expedition to the depths of the desert, and the group of scholars who remained there eventually became known as the Nagajuna group.

However, after so many years, their differences with the Akademiya became more and more wide, and they even developed their own set of doctrines.

According to the Akademiya, this is where the contradiction comes from.

It is also said that the Nagajuna also worship a power called [aura], which will incarnate as a spirit to communicate with them.

According to the Akademiya, Nagajuna has a lot to do with this strange celestial phenomenon.

However, due to their disagreements between the two sides, the Akademiya was unable to establish contact with them, so they had to entrust the Adventurers' Guild with assistance in the investigation.

After listening to Catherine's account, Ying frowned slightly: "Since it's a desert matter, why don't you hand it over to the Lord of the Red Sand?" Even if the Lord of the Red Sand doesn't make a move, there are still so many warriors in the Red Sand Clan! ”

Ying's idea is very simple, what happens in the desert, is there anything else that can be hidden from Wang Daoyi? Impossible.

Catherine showed a wry smile: "In fact, this task was originally entrusted by the Akademiya to Chisha to help solve it, although the relationship between that sect and the Akademiya is not good, but they have worshiped the Lord of Chisha, if the Lord of Chisha intervenes, it will naturally be easy to solve." ”

After a pause, Catherine continued, "But the strange thing is that after the appearance of the strange celestial phenomenon, Chisha's army stationed in the barren desert was attacked many times, and Chisha's connection with that sect was also cut off. ”

"Chisha's troops have been attacked?" Paimon's eyes widened, his expression incredulous, "Is there anyone in the desert who dares to attack Chisha and is not afraid of divine punishment?" ”

"This is also a strange place, the Lord of Chisha did not make a move, and the little auspicious grass king also remained silent, we sent someone to contact the elder of Xide, and the other party replied that there was something in Chisha recently, and they were unable to increase troops deep in the desert, and if we needed help, they could only provide help with the people stationed in the barren desert."

As she spoke, Catherine shook her head slightly: "The thoughts of the gods are not something that we mortals can understand, so we have sent adventurers many times to find out what is happening, but to no avail. ”

"Well, traveler, are you willing to accept this commission?"

Paimon tugged at Ying's clothes and whispered, "Let's accept it, Ying, I'm running out of money." ”

Asking Layla to set up the Star Circle to restrict Ah Hat had already spent almost all of their savings.

Thinking about her wallet and Paimon's food expenses for next month, the corners of Ying's mouth twitched and she nodded, "We accepted it." ”

Catherine smiled and handed the small drum just now to Ying: "Then I'll trouble you, this small drum is a certificate to contact that sect, you take it." ”

Taking over the snare drum, Ying and Paimon leave the Adventurers' Guild.

Standing on the side of the road, Paimon proposed, "Although Catherine said that he didn't make a move, let's go and ask him first, he must know something if he is so close to him." ”

Ying nodded, feeling that Paimon was right, "Okay, let's go." ”

The two of them immediately set off, passed through the leyline anchor outside Sumeru City, and quickly came to the headquarters of Chisha.

Came to the temple and found Elder Sid.

"West Germany, we want to see... Lord of the Red Sands. Paimon was quick to speak, and just wanted to talk about Daoyi, but then thought that this was a temple, and forcibly changed it to the Lord of the Red Sand.

Sid: "It's Traveler and Paimon, my god is in the main temple, please come with me." ”

Sid knew that Ying and Paimon were friends with the gods, and had always been polite to them.

on the road

Paimon remembered what Catherine had said earlier,

"West Germany, I heard that someone has attacked Chisha's army recently, is it true?"

Sid nodded: "It's true, but it's not a human, it's a monster of the abyss." ”

Then, without waiting for Ying and Paimon to speak, Sid continued, "Speaking of which, are the two of you also here for the celestial phenomena deep in the desert?" ”

"Well, West Germany you know." Paimon's eyes widened.

"Haha, of course." Sid smiled and continued, "On the first day of the celestial phenomenon, we observed it, and on the same day, we decided to march to the place where the celestial phenomenon appeared, and on the same day, we were attacked by the abyss monster. ”

"Ah, is anyone hurt?" Paimon exclaimed.

Sid shook his head: "There must be injuries, after all, they are abyss monsters, but no one died, and the other party doesn't seem to be here to kill, but to support our steps." ”

Ying's eyes flashed, and there was a trace of speculation in his heart: "Perhaps, they are afraid of Dao Yi and directly attacked." ”

Sid nodded: "It is very likely, it is also the reason why no one died, my god did not get angry, but handed it over to the garrison army to deal with itself, two, if you go over there then, you can go to our camp, there may be more information over there." ”

Ying nodded: "Okay, thank you, Elder Sid." ”

Sid shook his head: "It's nothing, that is, there is something wrong with the tribe at present, and the elite troops cannot be mobilized, otherwise it can be pushed directly." ”

The elite troops are still soaked in the lake.

As he spoke, the main temple arrived,

"Kasha Karen, a friend of my god has come to visit, please report." Sid looked at the two maids.

Kai'Sa nodded and entered the main temple, and after a while, the girl came out and stretched out her hand to Ying and Paimon, "Two distinguished guests, my god invites you in." ”

"Then I'll go first, if you two have anything after that, you can come to me." West Germany turned away.

Ying and Paimon followed Kai'Sa into the main temple.

The temple was still empty and silent, only the Lord of the Red Sand sat upright on the throne, blooming with infinite brilliance.

"Daoyi, long time no see!" Paimon waved.

On the throne, Wang Daoyi shook his head: "It's not long, it's just a few days." ”

Then he looked at Ying: "You guys came to me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Ying stepped forward: "We have been commissioned by the Adventurers' Guild to investigate the strange celestial phenomena. ”

The royal road is clear.

"I see, do you want my help in investigating the Burning Truth Celestial Phenomenon?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Paimon waved his little hand, "It's strange that the celestial phenomenon is so close to Daoyi you, and you don't react at all." ”

Wang Daoyi smiled dumbly, "Paimon decides how I should react?" ”

"Well, just like I did to Apep at the beginning, I waved my hand, and the golden chains in the sky locked up the celestial phenomena." Paimon thought for a moment and used the analogy of the image he had seen earlier.

"Hahahaha, then you think too highly of me, Apepe's strength is not weaker than mine, you can suppress it at the beginning, on the one hand, Apep is very weak, and on the other hand, it is targeted power."

First explained the battle with Apep,

Then Wang Daoyi continued: "As for the celestial phenomenon, it's not that I don't want to interfere, it's just that I can't interfere with everything, let the people of Chisha explore and solve it by themselves, so that they can grow." ”

Paimon nodded as if he didn't understand, "Oh, Daoichi wants to train everyone in Chisha." ”

Giving Paimon a thumbs up, Wang Daoyi smiled and said, "Yes, Paimon is so smart. ”

"Hehe, it's not that smart." Paimon scratches his head in embarrassment.

Ying glanced at Wang Daoyi a little strangely, feeling that things should not be so simple, but it is not good to continue to investigate.

"Then what does Dao Yi know about this celestial phenomenon? We accepted the task entrusted by the Akademiya to the Adventurers' Guild to investigate. Paimon asked again.

"I can only say that that is the embodiment of the power of the abyss in reality, and the specific situation still needs to be investigated by yourself." Wang Daoyi said softly.

"Abyss!" Paimon exclaimed.

Ying's eyes also became serious.

"Yes, Catherine must have told you that a similar celestial phenomenon appeared five hundred years ago, and it is the same this time." Wang Dao said.

After thinking about it, Wang Dao stretched out his hand and lifted it, and a token appeared in his hand,

"This token is handed over to you, and if necessary, you can mobilize the warriors of Chisha over there."

The token floated in front of the screen.

Paimon looked at the token curiously, "Can this thing represent you?" Dao One. ”

"Hah, it looks like a token, but it's a projection device." Wang Daoyi smiled and said, "Red King Technology." ”

Ying reached out and took the token, and sure enough, she saw something similar to a projection hole on the token.

The light and shadow technology of the Red King can form a projection instrument,

A long time ago, when Wang Daoyi was dealing with the Northland Bank in Liyue, he gave it to the master of the academy to use a similar device.

Originally, it was possible to record,

And this token is simply to play the projection.

Yinggu tinkered with it, knew the usage of the token, and nodded to Wang Dao gratefully: "Thank you." ”

"It's nothing, except for Chisha's troops, if you see other people moving over there, you can also show the token, although there is still no surrender over there, but I still have face."

Wang Daoyi gave an extra reminder.

Ying and Paimon didn't care, and nodded, "Okay." ”

After chatting with Wang Daoyi for a while, the two of them took their leave.

After Ying and Paimon leave,

Wang Daoyi spoke: "It seems that your plan is going to fail again, with Ying's help, the matter will definitely be resolved." ”

"It's part of the journey, and whether you fail or succeed, it's going to be a helping hand at the end."

A figure appeared on the side of the royal road,

The blonde boy had an indifferent expression and mouthed riddles that were incomprehensible.

"Ying's journey is still very long, and I don't want to care about it for the time being." Wang Daoyi was also expressionless, "As a price for not interfering, you need to hand over to me, the knowledge I don't know." ”

On the first day of the appearance of the Burning Truth Celestial Phenomenon, Wang Daoyi was ready to take action.

Although the power of the escaping abyss is strong,

But as long as Wang Daoyi provides enough strength to the ten thousand mother trees and forcibly seals them, it is not impossible.

But when Wang Daoyi was ready to act,

The prince of the abyss appeared in front of Wang Daoyi and offered a price that he could not refuse.

used an unknown knowledge in exchange for Wang Daoyi's non-interference and handed over the story to Ying.

No way, Wang Daoyi and Nahida can't refuse unknown knowledge,

Nahida can even trade the heart of a god for unknown knowledge, which shows the thirst for knowledge of the wisdom gods.

Sora nodded slightly: "Of course, the knowledge of the abyss, or, the knowledge of Kanria, what do you want?" ”

He gave two options.
