Sumeru Castle Akademiya,

As soon as Wang Dao, who had been wandering in Liyue for a long time, returned here, he was a little stranger for a while.

With the successful construction of the teleportation circle in the depths of the Liulijing Workshop,

The Akademiya and the Chisha Expedition Camp have re-established contact.

Supplies are replenished every seven days, and the harvest of archaeological finds at the edge of the world is returned to the Akademiyah.

Although it is indeed wrong to say that scientific and technological progress depends on archaeology,

But in any case, it is impossible to deny that the knowledge left behind by ancient civilizations has an unimaginable attraction for the Akademiya.

As a large number of ancient relics were sent back to the Akademiya, some ancient inscriptions and symbols were parsed and gradually applied to the latest technology in Sumeru.

Today, the Akademiya is bustling with people, mostly businessmen who come here to seek authorization, except for normal scholars.

Every new product release is a businessman's carnival.

Theoretically, the most industrially developed is Solstice, the most technologically advanced is Fontaine, and the most commercially advanced is Liyue.

But now, Sumeru is moving all three things together.

Just casually looking at the hurried crowd in the Akademiya, Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards the winding passage on the sacred tree.

At the top of the passage is the residence of the gods, the Jozen Palace.

Under the protection of the Thirty-Man Group, ordinary people cannot go up.

Of course, Wang Daoyi is definitely not an ordinary person,

Under the salute of the thirty-member group, Wang Daoyi pushed open the door of the Jingshan Palace.

Walking into the Jingshan Palace, he immediately saw Nahida sleeping in the meditation room of the Tree King.

The small body huddled up, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had some kind of sweet dream.

As Wang Daoyi approached, Nahida's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she sensed something.

As soon as Wang Dao walked to the Tree King's meditation room, Nahida opened her eyes at the same time.

A flash of joy flashed in her emerald green eyes, and the Tree King's meditation room opened, and Nahida stepped out of the void.

Walked up to Wang Daoyi, and then stretched out his hands.

To hug.

Wang Daoyi saw these three words in the eyes of the little guy,

Naturally, he would not refuse, bent down slightly, and hugged Nahida.

"How's it going?"

"The teleportation array of the Liulijing Workshop is very stable, the material exchange is also very successful, and everything is going well."

Nahida put her arms around Wang Daoyi's neck and whispered.

She likes it very much like it is now, Wang Daoyi holds her, she hugs Wang Daoyi's neck, which will give her a very strong sense of security.

Wang Dao was not surprised at first sight, although the World Tree covered part of Nahida's memories,

But when Wang Daoyi rescued Nahida from here, this was how he held Nahida at the beginning.

This is a sense of security in the depths of the soul, and even if it is covered by memories, it is difficult to erase it.

"By the way, there has been some progress on the Jin people's side, the thing called the synesthesia beacon is really powerful, the Jin people used it to translate the language of the hilichurls, except for some places involving the abyssal language, it is basically right."

Some of the languages circulating within the hilichurls are related to the abyssal language, especially the hilichurl shamans, who have more knowledge of the abyssal language.

"It's not a surprise, in the ruins, in the past, the golden man Si Yan only translated the lingua franca of Teyvat, the thing called the synesthesia beacon, through a part of the conversation between me and Ms. Alice, which is extremely technical." Wang Daoyi said softly.

"Uh-huh." Nahida snorted twice, her little face rubbing against Wang Daoyi's neck, and then raised her head, "Are you done with Liyue?" ”

"It's almost over there on the emperor's side, and besides, my marriage with Xiangling is scheduled before the Sea Lantern Festival."

"......" Nahida paused slightly, and then buried her head back into Wang Daoyi's neck in a somewhat deflated manner.

Nahida has no problem with the matter between Wang Daoyi and Xiangling.

But when I heard that the marriage was confirmed, I was also a little sad.

There is no relationship between her and Wang Daoyi, only the feeling of family affection.

But Nahida's situation is special, she has, and there is only one relative, Wang Daoyi.

Now that Wang Daoyi and Xiangling are getting married, Nahida has a feeling that half of her relatives have been separated.

Anyway, the emotions in my heart are very uneasy.

Sensing the strange emotion in his arms, Wang Daoyi didn't speak, but just reached out and gently patted Nahida's back.

He's the only one for Nahida, but Nahida isn't the only one for him,

This unequal situation inevitably leads to Nahida's mood swings,

This was expected by the royal road for a long time.

But it doesn't matter, time will smooth everything out.

After a long time,

Nahida took the wedding card handed over by Wang Daoyi, her mood had calmed down, and she nodded slightly: "I will go." ”

"That's good, I've also invited Barbatos and Balzebu, and when the time comes, there may be something to discuss."

Although it is said that the other gods were invited for the wedding, everyone came over, so naturally it couldn't be just for Wang Daoyi's wedding.

There are some things that everyone can discuss when they come together.

"Huh?" Nahida was confused.

"Something about the sky." Wang Daoyi said softly, "Let's talk about it then, it's more complicated." ”

Whether the sky is friend or foe, whether to rebel against the sky, the plans of the demon god and the dragon king, and other gods,

These things are too complicated to explain for a while, and only when everyone gets together can they be explained in detail.

Although there were still doubts in her heart, since Wang Daoyi said so, Nahida did not continue to ask, and continued to bury her head in the arms of her family with peace of mind.

You and Nahida stayed quietly for a long time before Wang Daoyi left the Jingshan Palace.

Returning to the Temple of the Red Sands, he learned that Abatui and the Scorpion had already taken their things on their way, so they did not stay any longer, and turned around and headed for the depths of the desert.

Thousands of sandy lands,

Somewhere in a hidden place, a blue bottle was dripping and turning, exuding a rich aura of water elementality.

It stands to reason that there should not be such treasures in the desert.

But there will always be surprises.

The earth veins surged, and Wang Daoyi walked out of the passage,

Looking at the magic bottle spinning in front of him, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

This is Lady Alice's summer gift to Klee, or rather, a summer visit.

Ying and Paimon disappeared for so long, also because they entered the secret realm with Klee.

For this secret realm, Wang Daoyi has already learned some information from Ms. Alice.

A place for a pure water elf who is not good at fighting.

With the help of Ms. Alice, the pure water elves hiding here have opened up a secret realm in a bottle, and with the effect of a mysterious treasure, the secret realm is quite magical.

However, Wang Daoyi slightly sensed the energy level of the secret realm in the bottle, and finally shook his head slightly, it was just a small secret realm, and it couldn't even contain his true body.

"Forget it, don't disturb their vacation."

Glancing at the secret realm in the bottle, Wang Dao stretched out his hand a little, and golden chains appeared, blocking an invitation at the exit of the secret realm.

As long as Ying and Paimon come out of the secret realm, the runes left by Wang Daoyi will be sensed, and the blockade here will naturally be lifted, and the wedding card will be sent to Ying's hands.

After another glance at the secret realm in the bottle, Wang Dao turned around and disappeared into the hidden place.

Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru, all the wedding cards that should be sent have been delivered, and now there is only one left.

"Water Dragon King ......"

A faint murmur echoed through the space, but the figure of the speaker was nowhere to be seen.

——

Fontaine,

As the country representing water in the Seven Kingdoms,

The environment is beautiful, life is prosperous, and both tourists and locals alike maintain a clean and uplifting demeanor.

From a purely scientific and technological point of view, Fontaine's use of science and technology far surpasses that of Sumeru, which represents wisdom.

Sumeru is still using pack beasts to transport goods, and Fontaine has even developed a stable airship,

Other countries are still in the era of human vigilance, and Fontaine has entered the era of mechanical vigilance.

The Academy of Sciences of Fontaine, which once towered over the land of Fontaine, almost brought Fontaine to a level far above the average of Teyvat.

However, it is a pity that in the course of some dangerous research, one of Fontaine's greatest prides, the Academy of Fontaine, was blown away.

The ruins it left behind have not been officially discovered by Fontaine.

The existence of the chaotic foundation force has turned that once fertile land of science into a dangerous territory.

"Welcome aboard the Clementine Line [Railing Boat]! This cruise is about to go to the palatial Fontaine, the most important city in the country of Fontaine!"

Sitting on the Fontaine patrol ship, listening to the explanation of the cute creature at the bow of the ship, Wang Dao couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes did not stay on her.

As the ranger of the Clementine Line, Abell explained his route while looking at the mysterious person in front of him.

The young man in white clothes sat on the patrol boat, his eyes seemed to be looking into the distance,

Ebell knew that in that direction was the former Academy of Sciences of Fontaine.

The Mystery Man is the code name that Aibel himself gave to Wang Daoyi.

She could confirm that this young man dressed in white was definitely not from Fontaine, and she had never seen him herself.

But from Aibel's point of view, Wang Daoyi exudes an unimaginable horror,

This feeling she had felt in Master Navillette before.

Fortunately, this terrifying aura did not oppress her, and even, faintly close.

Aibel felt this way, and Wang Daoyi was not surprised.

A beautiful race called Merusin has a special sense that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Suppressing the curiosity in his heart about Wang Daoyi, Ebell continued to explain: "Speaking of Fontaine, you may have heard of the characteristic [trial] of our country, and thought that this is a serious and serious place. ”

Wang Daoyi withdrew his gaze from the ruins of the Academy of Sciences at Fontaine, and his eyes turned back to Merusin, revealing a hint of curiosity: "Yes, in my understanding, Fontaine is a righteous and serious country. ”

The explanation got Wang Daoyi's response, and I don't know why, Aibel became happy,

It's like a child who shows off his knowledge to his parents and gets a response from his parents.

Aibel's ears twitched with joy, and his little hands danced slightly: "Actually, Fontaine is also a city of art and food, with incomparably rare architecture, music, paintings and delicious food, each of which is worth admiring..."

"Oh, can you introduce me to that? I am a traveler from Sumeru and have come to Fontaine on a special trip. Wang Daoyi smiled and said, "Why are these buildings built at the front?" ”

He knew why Merusin in front of him was happy, as an orthodox god, he was essentially the same as Navillette, an absolute high-ranking pure elemental lifeform.

Mei Luxin had not seen other similar lifeforms, so when she saw Wang Daoyi, she would subconsciously move him closer to Navillette.

When Wang Daoyi showed kindness, in Ebel's perception, it was the same as Navilet's helping hand to Merusin.

"Absolutely, honored guest." "These buildings have been put at the forefront, so that you will be the first to appreciate the beauty of Fontaine near the end of this journey!" Please look forward to the moment when it comes to your eyes!"

Passing through the cover of several high mountains, a huge city appeared in the field of vision of Wang Daoyi.

Although it is still far away, it can be seen from the hazy silhouette that this is a majestic city.

As Abell said, if you are a real tourist, you will inevitably be struck by the magnificence of the Fontaine Court when the cruiser passes by.

Seeing Wang Daoyi staring at the Fontaine Court in the distance, Aibel snickered for a while, every visitor from out of town will have such a reaction.

The cruiser continued to sail, and a deep tunnel appeared ahead.

"Passengers, please see, [the patrol boat] is about to arrive at the [Baisong Tunnel]."

"Although the waters of Fontaine are quite open, there are also beautiful mountains and forests, and [the Equinox] is one of the iconic mountains!"

Wang Daoyi followed Aibel's introduction and looked over, and there were many camp tents dotted on the mountain peak where the tunnel was located, and it seemed that this was indeed a good place.

Sensing Wang Daoyi's gaze, Aibell smiled and continued, "Many adventurers like to camp on the top of [Autumn Equinox Mountain]!"

"I also recommend this way of playing, but it's best to be safe and hire some locals or clockwork organs as bodyguards in advance..."

Aibel was admonishing, and then his little head suddenly flashed, no, the other party seems to be a very powerful person, and he doesn't need a bodyguard at all.

The voice of the admonition froze for a moment, and then he stuck out his tongue at Wang Daoyi in embarrassment: "You probably don't need bodyguards." ”

Wang Dao smiled, did not refute, and nodded slightly to signal Mei Luxin to continue the introduction.

Sensing Wang Daoyi's kindness, Aibel's embarrassment immediately dissipated, and his heart became more and more happy.

The cruiser continued to sail into a deep tunnel, and the lights on the hull grew brighter.

"Now that the [Rail Patrol Ship] has entered the [Baisong Tunnel], you can see the lights from the T Rail Patrol Ship more clearly, it's beautiful!"

Wang Daoyi looked down at the light on the hull, his eyes flashed slightly, and he noticed a difference.

Whether it's Mondstadt, Liyue, or Sumeru, most of them are currently using alchemical lamps or open flame lamps

Naturally, there is no need to say much about open flames, and the main material used in alchemy lamps and lanterns is fluorescent material, an alchemical material made of luminous pith.

But the current patrol ship under its feet does not seem to use this material.

"Hehe, this is different from the fluorescent materials used in Sumeru lamps, as well as the open flame lamps in other countries, oh, it is our Fontaine's unique [Compensation Hybrid] luminous lamp!"

Seeing Wang Daoyi's curiosity, Aibel said proudly.

Merusin has long been tied to Fontaine, and she is equally proud of Fontaine's excellent science.

Mixed Force?

Wang Dao's eyes flashed slightly, this was not the first time he had heard this term.

When Navillette visited the little auspicious grass king, he had heard the water dragon king say this word when he communicated with Navillette.

"Is this Fontaine's unique energy?" Wang Daoyi asked softly.

Ebel nodded: "According to Lord Navellet, the [Compendium of Law] was generated by the [Cardinal of the Decree] to gather people's faith in justice during the trial process, and other countries should not have it. ”

【Decree of the Cardinals】,

Wang Daoyi knew this thing, which could be said to be the most important component of Fontaine.

What the god of water himself cannot judge, this [Decree Cardinal] can also judge.

However, to Wang Daoyi, it looked like a joke.

I don't know if one day, Wang Daoyi sits on the judgment seat, whether this [Decree Ruling Cardinal] will give a guilty trial.

"Hehe, [Compensation Hybrid] is not only for lighting, but also for driving [Patrol Boats] to providing daily energy for the entire city, [Compensation Hybrid] is capable of everything, and it is super safe!"

Aibel thought that Wang Daoyi was interested in [Legal Compensation Mixed Energy], so he guided the topic to [Legal Compensation Mixed Energy].

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, and followed Mei Luxin's meaning, and there was a little curiosity in his eyes.

Wang Daoyi's curiosity made Aibel very satisfied, however, she was just an ordinary Mei Luxin, and she didn't know much about this high-level energy source.

After briefly introducing Wang Daoyi to the use of [Compensation Hybrid Energy], he blushed and couldn't say anything: "After the passengers arrive at Fontaine, they can have a deeper understanding of this magical energy!"

"Okay, thank you for explaining, you're really a kind Miruxin." Wang Daoyi praised.

A hint of shyness appeared on Aibel's blue and white little face: "Thank you, thank you for the compliment." ”

It just so happened that the patrol ship also passed through the deep tunnel before,

A huge turn appeared in front of the cruiser, and Wang Dao looked over, and after this bend, he was probably at the station.

at the turn,

With some excitement, Ebell pointed to the building on the side of the coast of Fontaine and said, "Passengers, please look! Towering buildings on the outside of the airline·· The rear! It's the Opéra d'Opéra de Eupiclair, which we at Fontaine are proud of!"

Wang Daoyi looked at Aibel's little hand,

A huge building towers over the shore,

At the very front of the building, a huge gate stands, but for some reason, that giant gate, Wang Daoyi looks more like...... Guillotine.

Behind the giant gate building, prostrate on the ground like a giant beast, it should be the Opa Piklay Opera House in the mouth of Merusin.

Speaking of which, Fontaine put such a serious matter as the trial in the theater and treated the judgment as a drama, which made Wang Daoyi wonder, is the justice here really still justice?

However, no matter how suspicious he was in his heart, Wang Daoyi did not show it, but still kept smiling.

Politeness is important, isn't it!

Mei Luxin didn't notice the change in Wang Daoyi's heart, and still explained enthusiastically: "This opera house is the highest place where we can carry out the [trial] in Fontaine, and it can be said to be the most important building in the country. ”

She is enthusiastic and proud.

Navillette, the supreme inquisitor of Fontaine, is the head of all Merusin.

The Opéra Opéra de Occiclair is one of the places where the Melusing parents worked, and they had great respect for the place.

"Of course, the opera house is usually open for art performances... The performances there are occasionally difficult to understand, though. ”

Speaking of the usual performances at the Opéra Opéra Pipiklai, Ebel scratched his head a little,

Merusin and human beings have completely different visions and are aesthetically different.

There are some arts that humans like, which they do not understand at all.

Opera, dance, opera, human beings compose and tell far-reaching stories, but from Mei Luxin's perspective, they can't understand it at all.

However, the intuitive performance of magic shows is more popular with Mei Luxin.

Of course, Melusin's favorite thing is the 'show' of Lord Villette's trial.

"Alright, alright! The end of this cruise is Fontaine [Cruiser] Terminus, which is not far ahead! Please bring your belongings and pay attention to the gap between the platform and the deck when disembarking..."

"I've heard that in some countries, locals use unique gestures to express their blessings to passengers, but there is no such rule in Merusen."

Aibel looked at Wang Daoyi with shy eyes,

"However, some Melusin will take off their hats in the direction of Erinas, and they can salute with their eyes without hats! Hopefully this approach will bring good luck to the passengers!"

The cruiser continued on its way to the end of the trip.

Aibel took off his top hat and bowed slightly to Wang Daoyi: "I look forward to seeing you next time." ”

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, and responded to Aibel's politeness: "See you next time." ”
