After resting in Liyue for three whole days,

The Wanmin Hall was also closed for three days.

Master Mao and Guoba also lived outside for three days,

Wang Dao left Liyue in good spirits.

Leaving Xiangling to be shy, while secretly scolding the beast.

……

Sumeru, Akademiya, Jozen Palace.

Thinking that the Lord of the Red Sand had said that Nahida had something to look for him, Wang Daoyi also came here.

The spirited gods strolled on the spiral staircase of the sacred tree,

The patrol of the Thirty salutes Him,

Akademiya scholars who know Him will also pay respect,

There are also some children who have been sent to the Akademiya, jumping up and down to follow Wang Daoyi, as if this is a fun game for them.

Signaling that the group of thirty did not need to be driven, Wang Daoyi took these children all the way up,

However, a child is just a child after all, and as Wang Daoyi's pace gets faster and faster,

Little by little, they fell behind.

However, they were not sad, and when they couldn't see Wang Daoyi's figure, they started a new game again.

Carefree, happy and happy, this is what children should enjoy.

Out of the children's sight, Wang Daoyi came to the top of the sacred tree, which is the location of the Jingshan Palace.

Guarding here is still the former group of thirty people,

The guards here are already familiar with the Lord of the Red Sands,

Every now and then, this god comes here,

Sometimes it suddenly appears in front of them, sometimes it comes up from below,

Sometimes they even come out of the Pure Good Palace.

Anyway, it's all strange, and it's already weird for the guards.

"Your Majesty." The group of thirty agreed to the royal road.

Facing the respectful shouts of the guards, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly: "Hard work." ”

Then, with the grateful eyes of the guards, he pushed open the gate of the Jingshan Palace and walked in.

It won't be long before a new story will circulate in Sumeru City, probably that the Lord of the Red Sand is very close to the people, and he will tell the guards about the hard work, and he will add oil and vinegar in the middle, and finally form a fable story.

Enter the Palace of Pure Kindness,

In the Tree King's meditation room, Nahida curled up as if she was sleeping.

However, Wang Daoyi knew that she was not sleeping, but wandering in the dream world.

The little auspicious grass king, who has the authority of dreams, can gain knowledge from the dreams of all beings.

Of course, there is no direct connection to the World Tree to come quickly,

Therefore, when the little auspicious grass king enters the dream, he is playing with his friends.

Looking at Nahida who was sleeping soundly, Wang Daoyi did not wake her up, but waved his hand, raised a rock platform, and half-lay down.

Stretching out his hand a little, the "Forbidden Exploration Secret Codex" appeared, reached out to hold it, and looked through it.

Two thousand eight hundred years ago, there were many details that Wang Dao had not had time to sort out.

Now is the time to go through everything and see if there's anything you're missing.

Time passes little by little,

Wang Daoyi, who was looking through the secret book, looked at the Tree King's meditation room,

In the spherical meditation room, Nahida's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes slowly opened.

The Tree King's meditation room opened, and Nahida's curled up body stretched out, revealing a comfortable expression.

It seems that it was a good dream.

"Welcome back, Daoyi."

Emerging from the meditation room, Nahida walked over to Wang Daoyi and greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you." Wang Daoyi put away the "Forbidden Exploration Secret Codex" and thanked him before continuing, "The Lord of the Red Sand said that you have something to look for me?" ”

Nahida sat down behind her, and the green swing spread down from the void, just in time to catch her,

"Well, since you came to the past, I have been monitoring the changes in the World Tree, and as a result, there is an anomaly." Nahida spoke.

Wang Daoyi's expression changed, this kind of thing is what he is most afraid of, changing the past is equivalent to changing the present,

There's still a long time in between that is uncertain, and if something bad happens, it's really bad.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi hurriedly asked, "Huh?" What's wrong? ”

"Rest assured, it's not a particularly important change." Nahida saw Wang Daoyi's worries, and first appeased a word, and then continued, "You know about the Demon Mountain, right? ”

Descending to the Demon Mountain, it is a famous location in Sumeru, and it is also a place that many adventurers want to conquer.

The reason why it is so famous is because there is a huge ruin that is comparable to a spectacle - a colossus of the ruins of Kanria remains there,

"Descend to the Demon Mountain? I see, what's wrong there? Wang Daoyi asked with some confusion.

After Abatui restored the ruins of the thousands of sandy lands and used them as construction machinery, he also proposed to restore the ruins of the demon mountain, but after investigation, he still gave up this idea.

Compared to the ruins of the thousands of sandy lands, the colossus can still move, and the one that descended to the Demon Mountain has been completely scrapped.

"After the advent of the Akademiya, a team from the Akademiya conducted a new investigation of the ruins of the Demon Mountain, and as a result, found something abnormal, after they reported it, Alhaitham personally investigated, and then sealed those things, he thinks these things may be related to you."

Wang Daoyi was slightly stunned: "Is there something in the ruins colossus that has something to do with me?" ”

He could be sure that he had never been to the Colossus of Ruins,

Therefore, those things that are considered to be related to him cannot be left behind by him.

In this case,

Either Alhaitham miscalculated, or it was the change brought about by his time travel.

As soon as Wang Dao thought of this, Nahida on the other side spoke: "I have also seen those things, and I am sure that Alhaitham did not miscalculate. ”

Wang Daoyi frowned: "Where is the thing, I want to take a look." ”

Nahida got up, and the grass element swing behind her disappeared: "The thing has been sealed, go, I'll take you." ”

Wang Daoyi also got up, and the rock platform under him gradually collapsed.

The two of them passed through the secret passage of the Jingshan Palace and went to the bottom of the sacred tree.

"Something in the Liulijing Workshop?" As soon as the king knows the place where this secret passage leads,

Nahida nodded: "There are more and more things sent back from the edge of the world, and the purpose of many things is still unknown, so I have people build a sealed warehouse below, and some dangerous goods are stored in it." ”

As she spoke, Nahida smiled, "With the protection of the god of opportunity, this place is safe." ”

The god of the right machine, which was once the biggest disaster in Sumeru, has now become a hole card of Sumeru under the transformation of the Akademiya.

Although it does not have the heart of the gods as an energy source, it is still second only to the gods in terms of combat power.

Speaking of the god of the right machine, Wang Daoyi thought of another person: "By the way, what about the hat?" Why didn't you see him? ”

As a prisoner and reformed person, Hat should be under Nahida's watch.

And this time, Wang Dao came over, but he didn't see the other party.

"Oh, ah, he's atoning for his sins." The corners of Nahida's mouth curled slightly.

"Atonement? Did he go to make up for the Inazuma family? Wang Daoyi asked.

"That's not it, those families of Inazuma, the dead are dead, the dead are destroyed, and Ah Mao can't find anyone to make amends, he went out to deal with the doctor." Nahida said.

Wang Dao paused: "The doctor came out again to make waves?" ”

The last time the doctor escaped from his hands, Wang Daoyi was very unhappy,

If the doctor comes out again, then Wang Daoyi will not be welcome.

"No, it's been a long time since the doctor has been heard, but Ah Mao said that in his memory, the doctor had laboratories in various countries, and he went to destroy these laboratories."

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, understood, said that it was atonement, but in fact, he went to take revenge on the doctor.

While chatting, the two came to the Liulijing workshop under the sacred tree.

It's still busy, and a lot of expensive instruments are transported here.

The pioneer camp sent the harvest of the ruins, and the scholars studied it directly.

Technologies that are not dangerous and valuable and can be reproduced will be authorized by the Akademiya to be popularized by various chambers of commerce.

Technology that is in danger of being copied will be sealed by the Akademiya and circulated only internally.

Techniques that are dangerous and difficult to replicate are assigned to the appropriate experimental groups for research.

Here, a very complete system of technical forking has been formed.

With more and more harvests here, many important items of the Akademiya have also been stored.

Among them, there are anomalous items found by the exploration team in the Descending Demon Mountain.

When Wang Daoyi and Nahida appeared here, they were soon greeted by scholars.

"Good day, Lord Grass God, Your Majesty the Lord of the Red Sands." The scholar bowed to the two of them.

"Good day, Ziriab, are you now the head of this place?" Nahida nodded at the scholar.

Qiriab smiled, "Yes, Lord Grass God, Lord Alhaitham said that there are not enough administrators here, so let me come here to help." ”

He was originally from the Propaganda Department of the Akademiya, and he usually preached the basic knowledge of the Akademiya to outsiders outside the Akademiya, and belonged to a kind of administrator.

With the development of the Liulijing workshop, there are more and more researchers here, but there are not enough administrative staff.

So Chiriab was transferred by Alhaithham.

"I see, I said why I haven't seen you in the Akademiya for a long time." Nahida seemed familiar with him, and said with a smile, "I'll go to the warehouse with the Lord of the Red Sands, please lead the way." ”

Qiriab nodded hurriedly: "Okay, two adults, please come with me." ”

Following in the footsteps of Qiriab, Nahida turned her head to look at Wang Daoyi: "This place has been fully controlled by the Akademiya, even if it is me, I must abide by the rules here." ”

Wang Dao nodded his head to show understanding.

Although the gods are also subject to the rules of the Akademiya, it seems a bit blasphemous.

But it's actually very normal,

After all, it has been transformed into a very complex research site.

And the rules of the institute are naturally to be followed by everyone.

Even if it's a god, if you accidentally touch something, it can cause a wreath.

Even if it doesn't hurt people, it can ruin the hard work of other people's research.

As a god of wisdom, Nahida respects all the study of wisdom.

So, she's willing to abide by the rules here.

Nahida was willing to comply, and Wang Daoyi naturally would not refute it.

Following in the footsteps of Ziriab, the two gods came to a huge warehouse,

"Two adults, this is the largest sealed warehouse in the Akademiya at present, and the things you are looking for are inside."

On the way, Nahida had already explained what she was looking for.

"Okay, next, I and the Lord of the Red Sand can act on our own, please watch here, don't let anyone else in." Nahida said.

Ziriab nodded, "Okay, Lord Grass God." ”

Ordering Kiriyab to guard the door, Nahida entered the warehouse with Wang Daoyi.

Sure enough, this large number of relic items are sealed here,

In addition to the relic items, there are also very strange things, which should be sent by the Akademiya to seal them.

Every year, the Akademiya has a large number of achievements, some of which have been successfully commercialized, in exchange for a lot of resources for the Akademiya.

But there are also a large number of achievements that are too dangerous to be mothballed.

Now, those sealed things, have been sent here.

Nahida walked without stopping, and led Wang Daoyi to the innermost place.

On a display stand shrouded in glass, a large piece of amber is stored inside.

"Here it is, look." Nahida gestured to the amber on the display.

Wang Dao's eyes flashed, and he looked at the amber, and with his eyesight, he could completely recognize that it was a piece of artificially formed amber.

The biggest role of amber is to isolate oxygen and preserve items.

On Liyue's Amber Mountain, there are also amber-wrapped beasts and monsters, which come to life in amber and are a spectacle.

Take a step forward and take in the amber-wrapped things,

For a moment, Wang Daoyi was stunned.

In the amber, a slightly yellowed piece of parchment is sealed inside.

And on the edge of the parchment, there is a string of broken bracelets,

The gemstones on the bracelet have long been broken, but the filaments of the bracelet are intact.

"Hilda......

Wang Daoyi muttered softly.

How could he not recognize these two things.

The parchment was his parting letter to Hilda,

And the bracelet is a gift he left for Hilda.

The gems on the bracelet were all randomly searched for, and the filament that has survived thousands of years is his hair.

The hair of the demon god is hard to destroy even time.

Behind Wang Dao, Nahida looked at him and said softly: "It seems that you recognize these things, in the colossus of the ruins of the Demon Mountain, when the scholars of the Akademiya found it, it was already wrapped in amber,

Scholars speculate that this should be something specially preserved,

Alhaitham also confirmed that this thing was related to you through the handwriting on the parchment.

By the way, according to the investigation of scholars, this thing belongs to one of the drivers of the colossus of ruins.

Her name, presumably Ingerhilda, was the "White Bird Knight" of Kharria, and according to the colossus of ruins, she also had the nickname ......"

Wang Daoyi interrupted Nahida's words: "[Valley], right? ”

[Glen] is the title of knight of the Hilda family.

Nahida shook her head slightly: "No, her nickname is [Daughter of the Valley], and in the records inside the Colossus of Ruins, she disappeared in the battle with the Dark Beast Tide, and the Knight of Kanria only recovered her noble seal, and she was buried in knighthood. ”

The royal road is slightly sluggish,

【Daughter of the Vale】......

"Heh, Hilda said that she wanted to drive the self-regulatory agency, but she didn't expect her descendants to do it." Wang Daoyi's expression didn't know joy or sorrow.

Since it is the [Daughter of the Valley], it cannot be Hilda, and it is likely to be a descendant of the Hilda family.

Judging by the parchment and bracelets she left behind, it should be a direct descendant of Hilda.

Actually, it's true, the Kanria War was all five hundred years ago, and Hilda couldn't have survived two thousand three hundred years.

The other party was not Hilda, which did not make Wang Daoyi feel better.

The Hilda family actually passed on what they left behind for a full 2,300 years, until the last Hilda bloodline disappeared on the battlefield.

Wang Daoyi was in a complicated mood for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

"You've traveled through time, and you've changed reality, Daoyi, we're ready to accept the unexpected." Nahida said softly.

After cleaning up his mood, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly: "I know." ”

Since Hilda, whom he came into contact with in Kanria, has undergone such a change, passing on what he left behind for two thousand three hundred years.

So, what about the other people he came into contact with?

All of you who have returned to their original place,

The Wolf of the North Wind and the Lone King of the Tower,

There is also the [Ji] who went to the abyss with him, and the four-legged dragon snake that he left by [Ji].

These contacts may or may not change.

Everything adds a bit of uncertainty to the present.

After a slight silence, Wang Daoyi looked at Nahida: "Nahida, I want to take these things away." ”

Nahida nodded, "Of course." ”

Bringing the royal road here, I wanted to give these things to him.

"The changes brought about by time travel do seem to be quite small, Nahida, please help me pay more attention to the World Tree next, and let me know if there are any changes."

Seeing the inheritance of the Hilda family, Wang Daoyi somewhat understood that his time travel trip might have caused a lot of impact.

These effects, using the World Tree to troubleshoot, should be the fastest.

"If there is any change, it should be that the water of the primordial fetus has been decreasing at a slower rate recently."

Nahida said with some confusion, "Before, the consumption of the water of the primordial fetal sea was getting faster and faster, but recently, the consumption rate seems to have slowed down a lot all of a sudden, as if someone had intervened. ”

After listening to Nahida's words, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly: "Is the consumption rate slowing down?" I get it, I'll look into it. ”

As he spoke, Wang Daoyi put away the amber on the display case,

"If nothing else, I'd like to send these things home first."

Nahida glanced at Wang Daoyi and saw that his mood was a little low,

didn't say anything, nodded: "There's nothing to do for the time being, you can be busy." ”

Wang Daoyi pulled out a smile, nodded at Nahida, and disappeared in place.

"Is it a friend you've met since you traveled back in time?" Nahida watched him disappear, thought for a moment, and then turned away.
