In the midst of devastation,

A big man pinched a little fluffy guy in his hand and lifted it in mid-air,

The big man was still torturing something with a hideous face,

Who can't say a word about the abuse of small animals by big men?

However, everyone present, including Ying, who loves small animals and is indispensable for meals, did not denounce the big man.

Instead, he looked at the furry in the big man's hand.

"Captain, I have a lot of experience in interrogating these abyss mages, can you let me try it?"

During her time in Mondstadt, Ying and Diluc raided many Abyssal Mage strongholds, disrupting many of the Abyss's plots.

And in the process of these things, Ying and Diluc learn how to torture the Abyss Mage.

The blue-haired captain glanced at Ying curiously,

This girl who looks soft and weak doesn't seem to be a simple person.

He knew Ying's identity, a traveler, and his combat power was very strong.

But torture is not something that can be measured by combat effectiveness.

It requires ruthlessness and wisdom.

However, the blue-haired captain did not refuse, and torturing this kind of thing happened to be something he was not good at. 、

He threw the furry abyss mage in his hand to Ying: "Then trouble Your Excellency." ”

Ying smiled, didn't answer, and then looked at the abyss mage on the ground.

[Ying tortures the Abyss Mage using the methods taught by Diluc, and the Abyss Mage tells everything in the torture. 】

Put the skills taught by Diluc to use,

Ying got what she wanted to know, but when she looked around, she saw that everyone was looking at her in horror.

Even Paimon was trembling.

"It's too scary, don't torture others in the future, I'm afraid."

Paimon puts himself in the role of an abyssal mage and discovers how terrifying Ying is.

Rolling her eyes, Ying ignored the crazy Paimon and turned to look at the blue-haired captain, "Captain, these abyss mages have received orders from the top of the abyss and have come here to hold you back. ”

Ying actually has some thoughts in her heart, the order of the abyss high-level, the abyss high-level, isn't that her brother.

I guess there may be my brother involved in the things here.

Ying thought to herself,

However, she thought about it again, and it was normal for her brother to participate in the affairs of the abyss.

So, Ying relaxed.

And the blue-haired captain frowned slightly: "Hold us back? Could it be that they have some plan to carry out on the side of the Iron Curtain Mountain, afraid that we will know about it? ”

"Quite possibly." Paimon flew back to Ying's side and nodded.

Ying's expression became solemn: "In that case, then I will investigate it as soon as possible." ”

If it was for money that she was tasked with investigating strange celestial phenomena by the Adventurers' Guild.

Now that the situation of the abyssal activity has been discovered, it is Ying herself who wants to figure it out.

The trajectory of empty movement is very important to Ying.

The blue-haired captain nodded and beckoned to the other side, "Aweil, come here." ”

A Holy Relic Warrior ran over: "Captain. ”

The blue-haired captain looked back at Ying, "This is Avil, my deputy, I still need to deal with the attack in the camp, and he will take you to the outpost of the Nagajuna Regiment." ”

Awei nodded at Ying: "Hello, traveler, I've admired the name for a long time, I'm Aweil." ”

Ying also responded: "Hello." ”

The two exchanged for a while, and Ying also learned the name of the blue-haired captain from Aweil's mouth, Revere.

"You're all called Will, are you relatives?" Paimon's eyes were full of gossip.

Avir snorted, "It's just a coincidence." ”

Then, ignoring Paimon's gossip, he said, "Let's go, Traveler, there's still some way from here to the blockade of Nagajuna." ”

The two of them left the Chisha Pioneer Camp and walked towards the entrance of Iron Curtain Mountain.

——

Jingshan Palace,

There were many more figures in the originally silent palace,

If there are students from the Akademiya here, you will find that most of these people are rare laureate scholars.

Usually these people are either busy in the lab, or at some high-level lecture,

Now they are gathered in the Jingshan Palace like the people of the market.

After Alhaitham resigned, there was no acting Great Sage Unified Akademika, and in case of major events, everyone could only come to the Jingshan Palace.

"Lord Grass God, this exploration activity, you must let me go, I haven't had a new academic breakthrough for almost ten years, and this opportunity can't be missed."

"Lord Grass God, I'm the same, I don't usually have any requirements, it's just that this kind of activity can't be without me."

……

These scholars, who were usually considered high-ranking members of the Akademiya, gathered Nahida in the center and spoke of their requests.

Nothing else, just the desire to open up the unknown, to take them with you, and their research team.

Don't look at the fact that there are only a few dozen scholars here,

But behind these scholars, there are complete sets of research groups, ranging from a dozen to a hundred research rooms.

Nahida looked helpless, if it was an ordinary matter, she could use the majesty of the gods to make these scholars fade,

But in the face of academic breakthroughs, new knowledge, and the temptation of unknown lands, the gods cannot let scholars pass up these opportunities.

"Please be quiet, scholars, the initiator of this operation, Your Majesty the Lord of the Red Sand, if you want to go, you can submit a report, which will be reviewed by the Great Sage's Office and then handed over to the Lord of the Red Sand."

"Lord Grass God, the report has been handed in a long time ago, but the oris of the Great Sage's Office said that they can't handle it without the Great Sage now."

The Akademiya were scholars who assisted the Great Sage, but only as an assistant.

Faced with the applications of dozens of Laureate Scholars, it is also difficult for them to make judgments.

You can't agree to it all, or reject it all.

If you agree with all of them, then the Fatwa Courtyard will be empty.

All of them are dismissed, and these scholars will definitely have to make trouble.

So who goes and who doesn't?

Nahida nodded slightly: "I know, I will personally review your application next, now you go back first." ”

The scholars looked at each other, and finally bowed slightly to Nahida and withdrew from the Pure Shan Palace.

Although they didn't achieve anything, they didn't dare to persecute the grass god too much.

After the scholars left,

Nahida glanced angrily at the corner of the Pure Benevolence Palace.

"Now you're satisfied?"

The light distorted, and Wang Daoyi walked out of the corner.

"They're still curious about the unknown, and that's a good thing, Nahida." Wang Dao said with a smile.

It's a good thing that scholars, in high positions, are still willing to pursue unknown knowledge, even at the expense of surrounding their gods.

Nahida wasn't angry, but she was just a little dissatisfied with Wang Daoyi for throwing things to her.

"It's a good thing, but you can see for yourself their application later."

Wang Daoyi shrugged: "I feel the need to hire our acting Great Sage back. ”

"It's too difficult, Alhaitham just resigned, and now he can't come back." Nahida shook her head.

Unless there is a huge change in the Akademiya, which may cause Alhaitham to have no way to live,

Otherwise, Alhaitham is unlikely to return as a acting sage.

"Okay, I'll look at the application in a moment." Wang Daoyi resigned himself to his fate.

Nahida waved her hand, and the swing spread down from the void, settling on it and swaying.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Nahida asked.

Wang Daoyi took out the purple ball of light that was given to him in the air: "I want to read the knowledge here, and I need you to help me protect the Fa." ”

Although Wang Daoyi is willing to believe that Sora will not lie to him, it is always good to keep an eye on it.

If there is any danger knowledge in the purple ball of light,

With Nahida by her side, it can also ensure that Wang Daoyi escapes.

And the moment Wang Dao took out the purple ball of light, Nahida jumped off the swing, and the expression on her little face became serious.

"The power of the abyss."

Nahida recognized the origin of this thing at a glance, and she combed through the veins of the World Tree every day, a large part of which was devoted to banishing the erosion of the abyss from the leylines.

The leylines are the root extensions of the World Tree.

"Yes, it's an abyss of knowledge."

Wang Daoyi said confirmatively.

"Where did it come from?" Nahida thought it was an abyssal rift in the land of Sumeru.

Wang Daoyi told Nahida about his deal with Sora.

"Abyss Prince......" Nahida frowned slightly, "I don't have any information about him, not in the World Tree, he is the hidden or erased part. ”

Wang Dao nodded: "This is normal, the abyss definitely has the ability to affect the World Tree." ”

"There could be danger here." Nahida reminded.

"Sora doesn't do such a thing." Wang Daoyi's expression was calm, "Besides, you're here." ”

Nahida gave him a blank look, but didn't refute.

As the god of wisdom, she has the confidence to keep Wang Daoyi safe.

As long as it's not forbidden knowledge, a little abyss pollution isn't a big deal.

Knowing that Nahida had agreed to protect the Dharma, Wang Dao smiled and began to read the knowledge inside the purple ball of light.

Deep, deep, unrelenting, vast,

Wang Daoyi is difficult to describe the feeling after coming into contact with the purple ball of light,

It's like a primitive man who opened the door to modern society,

You don't have to think about it to understand your own insignificance.

"That's what it is...... Abyss? ”

Wang Daoyi suddenly understood that Kong really didn't need to do anything in this knowledge.

As long as Wang Daoyi is exposed to the vastness and greatness of the abyss, as long as Wang Daoyi is difficult to give up these unknown knowledge,

It is impossible for Wang Daoyi to stay away from the abyss.

"What a scheme."

Even if he knew that he was calculated, Wang Daoyi had to sigh at the empty plan.

"However, I am underestimating me, I am pursuing unknown knowledge, but I am not brainless."

Retracting his gaze towards the Endless Abyss, Wang Dao looked at the knowledge closest to him.

[Evolution]

Under the induction of the mind, this knowledge was imprinted into Wang Daoyi's mind.

This is a piece of knowledge about the evolution of life forms.

Of course, in the abyss is called evolution,

In the eyes of the other forces in Teyvat, this evolution can be called distortion.

Warp ordinary life into abyssal life.

"This kind of knowledge seems to be a bit impressive." Wang Daoyi thought in his heart,

Memories flipped in his mind, and finally, a figure appeared in his memories,

"Kalodar Alberridge!"

As soon as Wang Dao remembered it, in the empty dream of reminiscence, Carlodar Alberridge was thinking about the greatness of the abyssal life form.

Sure enough, with Wang Daoyi's interpretation of this knowledge,

The name of Kalodar also gradually appeared in the records of knowledge.

The knowledge that the air handed over to Wang Daoyi was developed by Kalodar,

This founder of the Abyss Order has indeed completed the knowledge of the evolution of ordinary life into abyss life.

No wonder the Abyss Order has so many Abyssal Apostles, and even more advanced Abyssal Beings.

Much of the Order's strength comes from this knowledge.

"But what is Sora giving me this knowledge for?" Wang Daoyi was a little confused,

It can't be just for Wang Daoyi to twist the entire desert and join the abyss together, right?

With a hint of doubt, Wang Daoyi opened his eyes, and the eyes of Nahida were concerned.

"How's it going, is it dangerous?"

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "There is no danger, Sora has not done anything in it, it is a very clean piece of knowledge." ”

Nahida's eyes lit up, "I'm curious. ”

Abyss knowledge, Nahida also wants to know.

Wang Daoyi didn't hide anything,

Stretching out his hand, an elemental creation circle emerged,

The rock elements converge, some rise, and some settle.

Soon, a crystal butterfly appeared in Wang Daoyi's hand.

The bare-handed creation that the emperor showed in front of him at the beginning, Wang Daoyi can easily do it now.

Controlling the golden rock elemental crystal butterfly in his hand, Wang Dao began his transformation.

A trace of purple aura appeared on the golden crystal butterfly,

This was the abyssal energy that Wang Daoyi extracted from that purple ball of light.

The energy of the abyss envelops the crystal butterfly,

But it didn't directly hurt the crystal butterfly, but began to give birth to the crystal butterfly for the second time like a mother's womb.

Time passed little by little, and about half an hour later,

The purple aura began to dissipate, revealing the crystal butterfly that had been wrapped earlier.

The original golden crystal butterfly has changed,

The original simple gold has become purple and gold, but the gold only has a few stripes left, and purple is its background color.

The change in color did not make the crystal butterfly ugly, but more mysterious and charming.

"The twisted power of the abyss." Nahida had a hint of resistance in her eyes.

As a pure elemental god, Nahida is very resistant to the warping power of the abyss.

Don't look at the abyssal life, it seems that it can use elemental power, but it is the elemental power that is forcibly controlled with the power of the abyss.

In fact, the power of the abyss can be said to be the opposite of the power of the elements.

It's just that most of the elemental forces are dissipated and not too strong in erosion, so they are easy to be controlled by other forces.

Of course, there is no strong erosive force here, and it is relative to the existence of the abyss force.

To mortals, elemental power is still dangerous.

"In this knowledge, the abyss calls it evolutionary knowledge." Wang Daoyi said.

Nahida shook her head, "I don't like it. ”

"I don't like it either." Wang Daoyi said in agreement.

He was also a pure elemental god now, so naturally he wouldn't like the corrosive power of the abyss.

However, Wang Daoyi stretched out his hand to hold the purple-gold crystal butterfly, and there was a glimmer in his eyes: "But it's not useless." ”

Nahida glanced at Wang Daoyi curiously.

Wang Dao pinched the purple gold crystal butterfly, and the mysterious aura flowed between his fingers,

Wisps of purple breath were stripped from the crystal butterfly,

The butterfly trembled rapidly, as if she was experiencing some unbearable pain.

As the purple aura peeled off, the crystal butterfly trembled more and more, and finally stopped at a certain limit of endurance.

It's dead.

"The transformation of life in the abyss is not without danger." Wang Daoyi glanced at the crystal nucleus left in his hand with some disappointment.

In the crystal nucleus that should have been pure, there was still a trace of purple.

That's the last abyssal breath.

If the Crystal Butterfly hadn't collapsed, after Wang Daoyi extracted this breath, the Crystal Butterfly would have turned into a pure rock elemental life again.

It's just a pity that it collapsed at the last moment of transformation.

"It's that I'm not skilled enough in this knowledge, if I fully master it, I can turn the abyss life back into a normal life." Wang Daoyi said.

Nahida nodded slightly: "In this way, the abyss is not irreversible?" ”

"It should be like this, but it's hard, at least there are certain requirements for the reverser." Wang Daoyi said.

In order to reverse the abyssal creatures, the corresponding reverser must have a strong spirit and constitution.

Otherwise, the pain of extracting the abyssal breath might make him collapse directly, just like the crystal butterfly just now.

If the body collapses, there is naturally no way to reverse it, and once the spirit collapses, it is useless to reverse it.

"Need to sync it to you?" Wang Daoyi looked at Nahida.

It was a very advanced piece of knowledge, and it was precious enough for Nahida.

Nahida shook her head, "No, you can describe it to me, you don't need to tell me completely, I'll just record it." ”

She didn't like to distort the knowledge of life, but as the goddess of wisdom, she offered to keep a record of it.

Wang Daoyi was not reluctant, and described the utility, taboo points, and general content of this knowledge to Nahida.

Seeing Nahida keep this knowledge closed, the two chatted for a while before Wang Daoyi left the Pure Shan Palace.

But he didn't go back to the desert, and he had to go to the Great Sage's office to process the scholars' applications.

Regarding what kind of scholars to take to the edge of the world, Wang Daoyi didn't think about it.

There are too many scholars in the Akademiya,

Everyone is an elite in their field,

There are too many talents, which makes it difficult for Wang Daoyi to choose for a while.

When I came to the office of the Great Sage, there was still a priest busy here.

Although the great sage has no one for the time being,

But the affairs of the Akademiya still have to be dealt with.

These Magistrates currently maintain the prescribed system of work as prescribed by Alhaithham.

"Your Majesty, a total of 47 applications have been received, involving more than 1,000 scholars, and the records are all here."

A priest received Wang Daoyi and handed him a large pile of papers.

These days, the Akamwa looks at these applications and has a headache.

Now that the principals have come, their hearts are jumping.

"Put it down, I'll take care of it." Wang Daoyi nodded at the Priest and sat down unceremoniously in the position of the Great Sage.

"Okay, if you have anything to do, you can call me at any time." The Akadem put his things down and left the place, but he didn't go far, but only walked to a place where he could hear the king's voice as soon as he spoke.
