While Ying and Paimon were resting,

In the Momang Palace,

Navillette came to Funina with a few stone slabs.

He looked at the pale Funina, and once again spoke what he had said.

"Ms. Funina, we should have a good talk.

During this exploration, the travelers and I found these slate from the ruins, and also learned some of the causes of the prophecy from the slate.

I guess you should know something, right? ”

Navillette looked at Funina and spoke.

Funina glanced at the slates, looking at the patterns on the slates, her pupils shrunk slightly.

Funnina is not stupid, she is smart,

The moment she saw the slate, she knew that the slate was depicted with the content of the prophecy.

The only thing that is somewhat strange is that it seems that the slate is not complete, but a part is missing.

"No comment, Navillette." Funina said with a cold face.

But the paleness of her face made Navillette sure that Funina must know something, but she just didn't want to say it.

Navillette: "......"

He took a deep look at Funina, and saw the stubbornness of persistence in the girl's eyes,

Finally, he shook his head, "Sorry, Ms. Funina, for the interruption. ”

Then he took a few stone slabs with him and turned to leave.

Navillette knew that no matter what he said, it would be impossible for Funina to communicate with him.

And he can't make a move on Funinga himself, so it's useless to continue to stay here, but a new conflict may break out, so it's better to leave directly.

Leaving Funingna's room,

Navillette's eyes flashed slightly: "Lady Funina is reluctant to speak, but does the Lord of the Red Sand know something?" ”

A lot of things have happened in Fontaine recently, all pointing to the fact that Funina is not really the god of water,

Or rather, to prove that Funina does not have the same authority as other gods.

In the disaster in Baisong Town, Funingna did not appear for the first time,

As a ruling country, this is a very big mistake.

When I went to find Funna to negotiate the prophecy, Funinga didn't say a word, and this attitude didn't look like a real god.

In addition, Funinga was frightened by the Lord of the Red Sand many times before, and was frightened by the Fatui Executive,

All these signs show that there is a big problem with Funina.

One of the reasons why Navillette was willing to believe in Funina was because he had worked with Funina for five hundred years, and the other was because the Lord of the Red Sands, as a god, did treat Funina as a god in public.

According to Navelette's understanding of the Lord of the Red Sands, if Funina is really a person who deceives the world and steals fame,

At most, he has deceived for a while, but it is impossible to deceive the Lord of the Red Sand.

Navillette clearly remembered that the Lord of the Red Sand had tried Funina at the beginning, and it was only after several temptations that he recognized Funina's identity.

In other words, on the side of the Lord of the Red Sands, the matter of Funinga being the [God of Water] is affirmed.

"When the traveler comes tomorrow, please let the traveler go."

Navillette thought.

He knew that Ying had a good relationship with the Lord of the Red Sand, so let Ying ask about it, so that the Lord of the Red Sand would not be willing to tell him the truth.

After all, Navillette also knew that his relationship with the Lord of the Red Sand was not good enough to tell the secret.

Navillette was thinking of the Lord of the Red Sands,

And at this time, Wang Daoyi, as the lord of Chisha, has returned to the headquarters of Chisha.

"How's it going?"

Wang Daoyi looked at his doppelganger, the true Lord of the Red Sands.

"Everything is normal, but West Germany came over and said that the recent expenditure is too big, and I hope we can reduce the investment in the underground base a little bit." The Lord of the Red Sand spoke.

Wang Daoyi's expression froze slightly, this was really his fault.

When inspecting the underground base, Wang Dao waved his hand, increased the funds for many projects, and also raised the salaries of researchers.

In the end, the pressure fell on West Germany.

"I'll talk to West Germany about the expenses later." Wang Daoyi said.

The Lord of the Red Sand nodded: "That's the best, I'm a little afraid to see West Germany now." ”

The fact that the gods are afraid to see their own people is certainly a joke, but it also shows how much pressure has been on West Germany lately.

You know, Sid is a true fanatic, a person who is willing to sacrifice everything for the Lord of the Red Sands, and is also the patron of the Lord of the Red Sands.

Such West Germany has chosen to let the Lord of the Red Sand cut some expenditures, which can be seen how huge the consumption of the underground base has been recently.

"Let's talk about something else, are the portals for the temple and underground base ready?"

Wang Daoyi asked.

Previously, in order to place the [Deception] circle in the area of the underground base,

After consulting with Nicholed, Albedo and others, Wang Daoyi decided to build a portal between the Red Sand Temple and the underground base.

This makes it more convenient for the Lord of the Red Sand to sit in the circle, and it can also avoid being discovered that the Lord of the Red Sand has left the Red Sand Headquarters.

"The portal has been built, just wait for the circle to be arranged, and then activate it." The Lord of the Red Sands replied, "Nicholred and Albedo are very capable, and they have basically done all the pre-work. ”

"In this case, it means that we can just go over and set up the ballast, and then activate the magic circle?" Wang Dao's eyes lit up.

If that's the case, it won't be too much effort.

"Uh......" The Lord of the Red Sand glanced at the main body a little speechlessly, "at least help activate the pattern of the magic circle, otherwise, Nicholred and Albedo will die of exhaustion." ”

Regarding the lazy behavior of the body, the Lord of the Red Sand is still very speechless.

"Well, it's a shame." Wang Daoyi sighed slightly.

Rolled his eyes, and then the Lord of the Red Sand suddenly remembered something,

"By the way, our exploration team found a ruin deep in the desert, it seems that something is wrong, after informing the Akademiya, the other party sent us a copy of the information, I think, you may be interested."

As he spoke, the Lord of the Red Sand tapped in his ear,

The Void operates, and a copy of the information is sent to the Void Terminal of Wang Daoyi.

[The research results of the mysterious time relics and part of the experience of the scholar Faruzan are self-reported.] 】

This is an investigative report on mysterious ruins,

Of course, if it was just an ordinary ruin, the Lord of the Red Sand would definitely not hand it over to Wang Daoyi to deal with.

This relic seems to be related to the power of time.

View the data displayed by the Void Terminal.

Wang Dao's eyes lit up slightly,

As for the remnants of time, it is likely that there are some clues left by Istaru.

Although Istaru has seen it after time traveling,

But about this ruler of time, Wang Daoyi is still very curious.

The most crucial point is, where did Istaru go at this point in time?

She left all the power of time behind, whether she fell, or secretly hid somewhere no one knows.

This is actually very important, and it has to do with whether Istaru has a plan that Wang Daoyi doesn't know.

According to the previous experience of time travel,

2,800 years ago, Istaru, please go to the royal road, and kill the shadow of Istaru at the 3,000-year-old node.

And when the time came to this point, Istaru even disappeared directly.

Except for a few remnants of an ancient civilization, Ishtarus seems to be completely gone,

Whether she is in danger, or falling, or has some new plan, Wang Daoyi wants to know.

And now, a relic has appeared that may be related to time, which has to make Wang Daoyi serious.

"According to Faruzan's account, when she was exploring the ruins, she fell into the mysterious space in the ruins because of a mistake in solving some ruin problems."

Wang Daoyi read the question about the ruins while checking Farusan's own report,

The self-description is very long, but Wang Dao looks very carefully,

[As for the 100 years of [Trapped Ruins], I myself have a vague memory and cannot express it in detail.]

I don't know the origin of that ruin, I don't know where it is, I only remember that it is related to the Red King civilization.

There are many organs inside, and the walls are carved with ciphertext.

The mysterious power in the ruins made my body stop at the moment of being trapped, not feeling hungry or tired, but unable to erase the exhaustion of my spirit.

I ran out of pen and paper, but I couldn't decipher a single ciphertext; After exhausting his life's knowledge, he failed to unlock a single mechanism.

I lay on my back in the middle of the countless manuscript papers, staring in amazement at the bent top of the ciphertext engraved.

The ancient mysteries that have fallen silent laugh at the ignorance of Farusan with silence, and mock the insignificance of today's people.

I once wondered if the research that I was so proud of, the accumulation of generations of scholars who had spent their entire lives, was so worthless in the face of ancient civilizations.

After countless failures, I got up from the ground again and again, lifted a piece of gravel, and began to continue carving on the floor tiles.

As long as people live, there is hope. If you don't understand it now, you can learn it in the future. Civilization will continue to evolve as long as it exists.

What is not solved by today, future generations will also understand that even if the bones are still buried in the end, they must leave a record of these deductions and trial and error, and strive for a glimmer of life for the next victim. This is precisely the value and significance of the existence of the runic scholar in the world.

Later, the memory became more and more blurred, and the sense of time gradually became disordered.

I don't know how long it has been, and all the ground that can be touched has been engraved with obscure deduction symbols.

I don't know how long it took, my memories began to blur, and my mind began to blur.

I don't know how long it took me to finally find the solution to this puzzle.

This experience has made me miserable and I have lost a lot, so I suggest that the ruins be sealed and not explored, as a tragedy like mine should not happen again. 】

After reading Fa Lushan's self-report, Wang Daoyi frowned slightly,

According to Farusan, this relic is related to the Red King.

But the expressions of freezing age and not aging are indeed like Ishtarus's methods.

Could it be that after I left, Istaru went to the Red King to cooperate with something?

Istaru has cooperated with many demon gods, and this royal road is known.

Liyue has an old dean,

Inazuma has a god cherry tree,

Mondstadt has the Temple of Time.

Ishalo's social circle is obviously very large.

But if Istalo and the Red King cooperated, then what was their cooperation project?

Wang Daoyi fell into thought.

That guy from the Red King, he's so arrogant, if there's anything he can do to work with Ishtarus,

Then, the only thing that could be Kao was Kao.

In addition to the true relics left by the Red King - the Eternal Oasis.

Therefore, will the cooperation between the Red King and Ishtaru use some means to achieve the effect of time stagnation or even rewinding?

Ishtaru is familiar with the power of time, and the Red King has great power and abundant resources,

The Red King wants to save Kao, and Istaru wants to regain his severed power.

The two have a basis for cooperation, and there are reasons to cooperate.

Thinking of this, Wang Daoyi had already decided to go to the ruins to take a look.

"Very good information, maybe there will be some gains, I will take a look." Wang Daoyi nodded to the Lord of the Red Sand.

"When you go, it's best to inform the people at the ruins first, they're still struggling, and after seeing Faruzan's report, everyone is debating whether to continue exploring the ruins." The Lord of the Red Sand said.

Faruzan made it very clear how dangerous the time relics were, and persuaded many people to dissuade them.

But that doesn't stop everyone, after all, scholars' curiosity is their most valuable asset.

If even curiosity about the unknown can be suppressed, then these scholars are not scholars.

"Hmm...... In that case, I'll go to the ruins first. Wang Daoyi looked worried about the scholars.

However, the Lord of the Red Sand felt that the main body might just be too lazy to deal with the patterns of the Heaven-Deception Array.

Ignoring the questioning eyes of the doppelganger, Wang Daoyi waved his hand and turned to leave.

After a long while, the Lord of the Red Sand reacted,

"No, didn't the main body say that it would help me deal with the affairs of West Germany? How did you go? ”

……

Deep in the desert of the Great Red Sand Sea,

"Wuhu, it's good that I ran fast, the matter of West Germany, let's wait for the completion of the magic circle."

Underground bases can cut costs, but definitely not now,

Now that various projects are in full swing, once the cost is cut, it may cause a huge blow to the enthusiasm of researchers.

This is what Wang Daoyi does not want to see.

Therefore, we can only suffer West Germany a little longer.

Coming to the place marked in the information, Wang Daoyi quickly found a temporary camp,

Faintly, there was also the sound of quarrels.

"We don't have enough supplies, and if we don't explore, this expedition will be a failure."

"No, the message from the Akademiya is clear, this ruin is dangerous, at least it shouldn't be explored now."

"But you also know that the entrance to this ruin is very unstable, and if you miss this time, maybe it will disappear."

"Then how can you guarantee that its entrance will not disappear when we investigate? It's too dangerous for me to agree with you going into it. ”

……

Wang Daoyi stood in the distance and listened for a while, probably arguing about whether to enter the ruins or not.

Some people want to go in, because the entrance to the ruins is not stable, and it is likely to disappear, and there may not be luck next time.

However, some people read the report reply given by the Akademiya and knew that the inside of the ruins was very dangerous, and the entrance was unstable, so they felt that they could not take risks.

Of course, the people who were arguing were all scholars from the Akademiya, and the warriors of Chisha were on the side, eating melons and eating very happily.

At present, any formal research group exploring the desert is subject to the protection and monitoring of the red sands.

Mainly because when the desert was not unified, there were too many groups that stole the remnants of the desert civilization.

However, the desert people themselves were the ones who liked to sell relic items the most.

It was only after the establishment of Chisha that these relics were gradually protected.

Listening to the quarrels in the camp,

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly and walked over.

The Chisha soldiers on the periphery were on guard at first, and then they saw the appearance of the person who came, and they were immediately surprised.

"My God!"

The guarding warrior hurriedly ran to Wang Daoyi, bowed slightly and shouted.

The voice is loud and the pitch is respectful,

Not only did Wang Daoyi hear it, but so did the people in the makeshift camp.

Soon, the quarrel in the camp stopped, and people poured out,

"I salute you, Your Majesty, Lord of the Great Red Sands."

The scholars leaned over the king.

Wang Dao nodded and continued to walk towards the camp, speaking as he went: "I seem to have heard you arguing just now. ”

On the side, the scholars immediately spoke: "We are discussing whether to enter the ruins to explore. ”

It's a discussion, not a quarrel.

In front of the gods, they still want to embody their 'friendly atmosphere'.

"Have you worked it out?" Wang Daoyi asked with a smile, of course he knew that there was no answer to this, but it didn't prevent him from teasing these scholars.

Sure enough, in the face of Wang Daoyi's inquiry, the scholars looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads: "I'm very sorry, we couldn't unify the goal." ”

Wang Daoyi waved his hand: "Then don't discuss, if you are willing to go in, go in with me, and if you don't want to go in, stay outside." ”

As soon as these words came out, the scholars stopped pretending.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you in."

"I would too."

"And me, too."

……

Scholars signed up one after another, and those who had previously said it was dangerous also raised their hands.

They feel dangerous because the ruins are uncontrollable,

But now, the Lord of the Red Sand has appeared here, and the so-called danger naturally does not exist.

Since there is no danger, isn't it just that everyone is actively signing up?

"Since everyone wants to go, let's all go." Wang Daoyi didn't refuse these scholars, nodded, and then looked at the Chisha warriors on the other side, "Half of you go in with you, and leave half of you to guard the camp." ”

"Yes, my God." The Chisha warriors immediately agreed, and then the team quickly divided into two teams.

Wang Dao glanced at it and found that the team that followed and entered was obviously a little stronger.

The Chisha warriors subconsciously sent the powerful warriors to Wang Daoyi's side.

Wang Dao nodded a little and acquiesced to this division,

"Let's go, enter the ruins, just to see, there are secrets waiting for us."

With a wave of his hand, Wang Daoyi led a large group of people and horses directly into the entrance of the ruins in the center of the temporary camp.
