"You're going with us?"

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Albedo was a little surprised.

After all, when Wang Dao mentioned Fontaine before, he didn't look interested.

Why do you suddenly want to go together again now?

"Well, I heard you say that the Academy of Fontaine, I think Fontaine is still worth my visit." Wang Daoyi smiled at the corner of his mouth.

This kind of thing is immoral, but it's fun.

Moreover, Fontaine is so big, there will always be unsatisfactory scientific researchers.

Don't have more, bring back dozens of them to Chisha, and use them as seeds, as long as their knowledge is useful, then there will soon be desert people to learn from them, Wang Daoyi has no doubt about this.

In fact, in the beginning, the desert people and the Akademiya were in a state of opposition.

With the exception of some visionary tribes, most tribes are resistant to novel knowledge.

But later, under the influence of Wang Daoyi, the desert people's thirst for knowledge has become stronger and stronger.

The rise of the professional class of special alchemists has made the desert people understand that every new piece of knowledge represents a new social structure, a new wealth, and a new status.

So Wang Daoyi is no longer worried about the fact that the people don't like to study.

Albedo's expression froze: "You want to dig up the people of the Academy of Fontaine?" ”

"Can't you?" Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

Albedo frowned slightly: "But I heard that the technology of the Academy of Fontaine is based on Fontaine's unique energy, what is the use of you digging them?" ”

"Energy research is just a project, Fontaine's mechanical research, environmental research are very developed, I have seen Fontaine's guard robots, in a sense, they are not inferior to the Yuan Energy Machinery of the Red King civilization."

"Those machines don't have to be Fontaine's unique energy sources, as long as you know the production technology, it's not difficult to replace the energy core."

Wang Dao took a look at the mechanical researcher of Fontaine.

As for the Foundry Mine and other Fontaine-specific energy researchers, Wang Daoyi is not ready to recruit.

Chisha's energy technology is not bad, and there is no need to open another category.

And...... Fontaine's energy technology, while powerful, is unsafe.

Wang Daoyi didn't want the Shiji Mine to explode on his own turf once.

"You ...... I'll offend the god of water. Albedo was worried.

He really regards Wang Daoyi as a friend.

Although he knew that Wang Daoyi was very powerful, he was also worried that he would offend more powerful people.

Wang Daoyi looked strange: "God of Water...... I'll go back and bring her some dessert, and she probably won't care. ”

He still didn't say anything wrong with Albedo about the god of water.

After all, this is a god-level secret, and it is not good to tell others casually.

"Is that so?" Albedo glanced at Wang Daoyi strangely, thinking that the other party might not be telling the truth, but he didn't ask much and nodded, "Okay then." ”

"By the way, when you come back from Fontaine, let's take a trip to Chisha, there is a big project waiting for you to join."

Wang Daoyi thought about the underground base again.

"Big project?"

"Well, a very big project, bigger than what we've done before."

Albedo's eyes lit up,

You know, the projects he did with Wang Daoyi before were not small.

Except for the elemental shield generator when the two first met,

The latter items, one stronger than the other.

Construct the original god body of the royal road,

Build a Void Red Sand Host that covers the desert.

An elemental sublimation project involving the secrets of the gods,

A desert reservoir project based on the remains of a demon god,

Every time it comes out, it is enough to shock the achievements of the Seven Nations.

Now Wang Daoyi actually said that there was a bigger project, which undoubtedly aroused Albedo's curiosity.

"But the project hasn't started yet, and the base is still being built, and when you come back from Fontaine, it should be about the same."

Wang Daoyi didn't know how long Albedo would stay at Fontaine, but there was no doubt that when he returned, Wang Daoyi would not let him return to Mondstadt.

Such a good one... Technicians, they must arrange their work and get it up and running.

"Well, well, we'll talk about it then."

Albedo put away the sketchpad in his hand,

It's normal for an alchemist to have stored equipment.

"Let's go, don't keep Ying waiting."

……

Desert Louvre Coast,

Paimon was a little bored floating on a big rock,

Looking blankly ahead,

Not far in front of her,

Ying held a bladeless sword, and the multi-system elemental power on her body surged,

The powerful aura spreads, enough to make most of the monsters collapse,

On the other side of Ying, a four-legged turtle beast glanced at her, and continued to nibble on the fruits and vegetables in front of her without paying any attention.

After Wang Daoyi left, Ying and Paimon were bored,

It just so happened that the two of them hadn't eaten, so Ying set up a stove on the spot, ready to cook something to eat,

As a result, as soon as Ying took out the vegetables and fruits for cooking, a hawkshead turtle crawled over from the sea.

At first, Ying thought she was passing by, but she didn't expect that people were coming at her.

Relying on his thick tortoise shell, the tortoise climbed to the side of Ying's stove unceremoniously.

Even more unceremoniously, he took a bite into Ying's ingredients.

Ying naturally won't let the hawkshead turtle eat her own ingredients,

Pick up the bladeless sword and prepare to drive away this tortoise,

The result is very unsatisfactory, and the attack of the super monster can be cut down, and in front of this hawk turtle, it has no effect at all.

Ying attacked, and the tortoise shrank its head and hid in the thick tortoise shell.

If Ying doesn't attack, it sticks out its head and steals the ingredients.

So much so that when Wang Daoyi came out of the leyline passage with Albedo, Ying was still confronting the tortoise.

"Daoyi, you're back." Paimon's eyes lit up, and he flew to Wang Daoyi's side, and said in a very aggrieved voice, "Hurry up and help Ying, this guy is so hateful, he steals our ingredients." ”

Wang Dao looked at the tortoise turtle with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"What a hawksling tortoise."

This creature is a strange thing on the continent of Teyvat.

The tortoise is the descendant of an ancient beast that inherits the blood of their ancestors.

Although they no longer have the size of a mountain, their superior defense allows them to thrive in this land.

As long as you don't get close to it, it's equivalent to no attack power,

But its defensive power can also be called terrifying.

According to current academic research, the creature has only one way to attack, which is to retract its head into the turtle's shell and then spin rapidly.

It's funny to look at.

But the power is definitely not small,

The tortoise's sturdy shell rotates at high speed and becomes a super cutter.

It is precisely this kind of unprovoked characteristic that basically no predator will have the idea of fighting them.

If it weren't for the turtle's own reproduction difficulties, this creature would have been able to dominate all of Teyvat's waters.

With a gesture of his hand, golden chains appeared, binding the hawksbill turtle that was confronting Ying,

The chains were tight, enough to leave traces on the scales of the Apep dragon, but they couldn't shake the tortoiseshell of the tortoiseshell.

This shows how outrageous its defenses are.

However, although the chain cannot shake the tortoise's shell, the tortoise cannot withstand the pull of the chain.

It was raised.

The tortoise was tied up, and the chain gradually retracted back to Wang Daoyi's side.

Ying also put away the bladeless sword in his hand, and looked at the spoiled ingredients all over the ground with some pity.

"This guy eats my ingredients as soon as he comes, it's so hateful." Ying gritted her teeth.

Wang Dao smiled: "This hawksel turtle lives here, and the food is probably some sea fish, and if you bring novel food, it will naturally be curious." ”

The hawks-tortoise is a very gentle animal and generally does not invade humans.

Unless you have something that arouses its curiosity.

The vegetables and fruits brought by Ying have a completely different atmosphere from sea fish, which is why it aroused the interest of this hawkseye turtle.

"Moo~"

The tortoiseshell, bound by golden chains, stuck out its head, looked at Wang Daoyi, and let out a cry like an old cow.

Wang Daoyi could clearly understand that the tortoise was asking him why he was trapping it.

"You've eaten other people's food, and that's not what a good boy does." Wang Daoyi pointed to the mess on the ground, and then pointed to the angry Ying.

The hawkseye turtle is extremely long-lived, and this hawkseye turtle is about a hundred or two hundred years old, but for the hawkseyel turtle, it is still a child.

The tortoise's head is tilted, and normally speaking, humans can't understand what they say.

But Wang Daoyi didn't just speak, but also transmitted the meaning of the words directly into his mind.

So, it understood.

In the tortoise's understanding, it seems to be stealing someone else's food.

In the Race, this is the time to either fight or leave the price and retreat.

It looked at Ying, confirmed that it was not afraid of her, and then looked at Wang Daoyi, well, this seems to be unbeatable.

So the tortoise mooed twice.

Wang Dao nodded, and then looked at Ying: "It's willing to make amends, do you accept it?" ”

Ying's eyes widened, "Can you communicate with it?" ”

Paimon also looks incredible.

Only Albedo, who didn't pay any attention to Wang Daoyi's words, was standing next to the tortoise, studying the tortoiseshell on the tortoise's body.

It is very much in line with the character of the alchemy master.

"Hawkseye turtles are highly spiritual, and they have a gentle temperament, so they are not difficult to communicate." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

After his soul was deified, he could communicate with Guoba,

Now that he has ascended to the throne, there is naturally no problem in communicating with hawks.

It's not just Wang Daoyi, people like Nahida can do this.

As for the other gods, they are probably all okay.

"Indemnification...... Okay, I'll see what compensation it can give. Ying finally agreed to accept compensation.

After all, the ingredients had been destroyed, and her usual methods really couldn't help the tortoise.

As for going all out, it's not necessary, and things don't come to this point.

"Alright, little one, go get your apology."

Wang Dao thought as soon as he thought about it, and the golden chains were suddenly loosened, and the tortoise suspended in mid-air immediately fell.

The heavy tortoise shell touched the ground and smashed a small hole,

Obviously, it is not only the dorsal armor that is strong in defense, but also the abdominal armor.

The tortoise landed on the ground, standing on all fours, its head pointing at the glow.

"You're asking me to follow you?" Ying seemed to understand what the other party meant.

The tortoise nodded again, then turned and walked away,

However, compared to its defense, its speed is really not flattering.

It's too slow,

Even if it looked like it was moving at full strength, it could only walk at the speed of a child.

Fortunately, the place where it was going to take Ying was not far away, on the coast next to it.

It's no wonder that it's attracted to the ingredients of Ying, it's too close.

A pile of rubble... Lair.

Probably only the hawk turtle, a creature with strong defense, likes to sleep in this kind of rubble.

In fact, hawkshead turtles generally like to use these gravel to polish their ghost armor.

Although gravel cannot damage their tortoise shells, it can have a similar frosting effect.

The tortoise's head fiddled around in the rubble pile for a while, and finally turned out a crystal clear gem under the rubble.

Pick up the gem and hand it to Ying.

"What is this?" Ying scratched her head, she didn't recognize what it was.

Albedo leaned over and looked at it, "It looks like a gem, but the structure of the material is more like some kind of ore." ”

Gems and ores are almost the same in the eyes of ordinary people, but there is a big difference in the eyes of alchemists.

Gemstones have elemental properties and can be used in most alchemical rituals.

Whereas, most of the ores need to be forged before they can be used.

"It's a condensation crystal, a special ore of Fontaine, which can be used to make high-level weapons, and it is very valuable." Wang Dao recognized this ore at a glance.

This ore is included in the list of precious materials purchased by Nicholred.

Crystals are only found in the Fontaine region, including in the straits near Fontaine.

It is normal for hawkshead turtles to have this ore, after all, it is close to the sea of Fontaine.

Ying held the ore in her hand: "This ore is much more precious than my ingredients, right?"

The ore for forging high-level weapons and the vegetable and fruit ingredients everywhere in the stalls,

It's easy to tell which is more important.

"The recognition of value is not uniform, for the hawk turtle, it is just a beautiful stone, and those ingredients are good things that it has not eaten."

Listening to Wang Daoyi's words, Ying nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, then I will accept it, but I can't let it suffer." ”

Ying flipped through her luggage and pulled out a large pile of cabbage and sunset fruit from it.

"Here, these are all for you, if you want to eat other people's things in the future, you can't grab them."

Pushed all the vegetables and fruits to the tortoise lying in the gravel pile, and Ying also educated by the way.

I don't know if the hawkseye turtle understood, but it definitely understood, these things were for itself.

'Moo! ~’

The tortoise roared happily, and then fell into the pile of fruits and vegetables with its head and feasted on it.

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly: "It is said that hawksheads can be raised by humans, but this hawkseye turtle is obviously not so easy to buy." ”

He saw Ying's consciousness,

Ying is telling the hawkshead turtle that the next time he wants to eat, he can exchange it for ore.

But obviously, the hawksel turtle didn't understand it at all.

Unless the meaning is imprinted into the tortoise's mind like Wang Daoyi, it can understand human speech.

Ying nodded slightly, and there was no disappointment in her eyes,

A bunch of cabbage for a precious ore, she has earned.

"Are you going to keep observing?" Wang Daoyi looked at Albedo.

The other party has been observing the tortoiseshell composition of the tortoiseshell.

Albedo shook his head: "It's an amazing turtle, but let's go to Fontaine first." ”

If it weren't for the more magical Merusian presence in Fontaine, Albedo might have stayed here and lived with the tortoises for a while.

"Okay, we've summoned the waves, and the dry food is ready." Paimon and Ying show off their reserves.

Albedo looked at Wang Daoyi: "Can't you teleport over directly?" ”

"The scenery of Fontaine is good, if you use teleportation for everything, you will miss these beautiful views."

"Well, well, I also need to collect more materials."

Wang Daoyi and Albedo talked,

Ying was a little puzzled: "What, Dao Yi also wants to go together?" ”

"Well, I'm going to have something to do, but I'm not going to do it with you."

He's going to dig the foot of the wall, so naturally he won't be with Ying,

Even before he succeeded in digging the foot of the wall, he had to try to avoid Navillette's gaze.

Although I'm not afraid of him, it's really embarrassing to be caught digging into the wall.

While chatting, several people walked to the anchor point of the wave boat.

[Wave Boat] is a very magical water vehicle, which can be summoned to the owner's side through the anchor point of the wave boat.

And a person can only have one wave boat at most.

Generally speaking, Inazuma is an archipelago country, and there are the most waves over there.

Later, this technology gradually spread to other countries.

Ying has a wave boat, and Wang Daoyi and Albedo also have it, which is not a particularly precious thing.

The Adventurers' Guild has long popularized this thing.

Although not everyone has it, there is certainly no shortage of high-level adventurers.

Touching the anchor point of the wave ship,

Three small boats more than one person tall appeared in front of everyone.

The hull is similar to that of a canopy ship, but it is shorter and thicker, the bow is equipped with a small cannon, which has a little attack ability, and the space in the stern is used to place cargo.

If you look at it from the eyes of the previous life, this thing is not to mention a long voyage, and the small river at the door will not be open for a long time.

But Teyvat has its own rules,

A seemingly ordinary wave boat really has the ability to sail long distances, provided that it does not encounter strong winds and waves.

Into the wave boat,

The interior space is not small, and it is no problem to seat at least two or three people.

The control center of the wave ship is obviously an alchemical product,

At the push of the switch, the wave boat is activated.

"Oh oh oh, let's go, Fontaine."

Paimon's cheerful voice came from the boat beside him,

Wang Daoyi operated on the control system, and sure enough, the tarpaulins on both sides were put away.

And the scene on the side of the ship also appeared in front of the royal road.

Ying's boat is in the middle, Albedo is on the left, and Wang Daoyi is on the right.

Three boats are not far away.

The speed of the wave boat was not slow, but after a while, they were far away from the shores of Louvre.

The silence and beauty of the sea level became the main scenery in everyone's eyes.

Wang Dao had a hint of novelty in his eyes.

To put it mildly,

The last time he sailed like this was the first time he went to Sumeru, and he took a warship from the General Affairs Division.

Other times, he mostly uses leyline channels.

Convenience is convenient, but the scenery in the trip is also away from him.

Now this opportunity to cross the sea to Fontaine has given Wang Daoyi a good opportunity to re-understand the journey.
