"What are you talking about?" Hearing Apep's words, Paimon scratched his head in confusion.

Xiao Caobao said with a serious face: "It's her, the previous grass god, the Great Cishu King." ”

"Nahida, do you remember the Great Mercy Tree King?" The little straw bale, Sora looked at her with a surprised expression.

Originally, he had planned to find an opportunity here to tell Xiao Straw Bag about the deeds of the Great Mercy Tree King, but he didn't expect that when he hesitated, Little Straw Bag actually remembered the existence of the Great Mercy Tree King, but he was sure that everyone in this world except himself, including Paimon, had forgotten the existence of the Great Mercy Tree King.

So, the straw bale's speech made him very confused.

"Well, after you and Paimon were hypnotized by the Doctor, King Daicishu showed up once, and she helped me retrieve my forgotten memories." The little bale replied.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Paimon asked with a puzzled expression, "What is the Great Mercy Tree King?" Why am I not impressed at all? ”

"King of the Great Mercy Tree, what is that? I don't have the impression that she exists, all I know is that there is still a hidden king of grass here, and she is the one who revived these elemental beings again. Apep wondered.

"Since she doesn't want to show up yet, let's talk about us." ”

"What is there to say between us? You saved me, but I won't be grateful to you. Apep replied.

"It's okay, as long as you recover your health and maintain this state, Sumeru will not be threatened." The little straw bale spoke.

"I thought that when my power returned, my anger would swell." "But what I feel at this moment is an emotion that I have long forgotten – calm," Apep said. ”

"Forbidden knowledge has already subtly changed you, amplifying your anger and hatred." Little Straw Bale explained.

irrefutable. As much as I hate that extraterrestrial visitor, it makes no sense to destroy you and your people. ”

Apepe continued: "But even so, I don't plan to change my position and have anything to do with you. ”

"The moment you die because of your infinitely inflated curiosity, I will despise and laugh at you in my heart."

Listening to Apep's words, Paimon couldn't help but say, "It's really hard for you to speak. ”

"I respect your choice and will prove to you in the future that we will not repeat the mistakes of the past." Xiao Caobao nodded and said, "Before you can recuperate, I still need to know one last thing. ”

Xiao Caobao wondered, "How did you get entangled in forbidden knowledge?" ”

"That's a long story, in the distant past, we all thought that it was the only force that could defeat the Heavenly Principles." Apep pondered for a moment and replied, "The Dragon King has taken the power of darkness from beyond the world and led us against the order defined by outsiders. ”

Paimon wondered, "Dragon, Dragon King?!" ”

Rather than answer Paimon's doubts, Apep continued, "An unprecedented battle is unfolding in Teyvat, and the battle is so fierce that the whole world is almost destroyed. ”

"The winner has the right to shape the world, while the loser can only be reduced to ashes."

"But even after the death of the Dragon King, I didn't give up looking for a way to turn the situation around."

"I wanted more forbidden knowledge on the edge of a shattered world, but I was stopped by a giant nail from the sky."

"The earth-shaking turn of Sumeru seems to be telling me that the era of dragons is over."

Hearing this, the little straw bale opened his mouth to Apep and asked, "But you still haven't given up, have you?" Because Amun, that is, Ahmar"

"Well, later Akhmar gained this power with the help of Nabu Marikata." Apep replied, "His ambition is constantly expanding, and he wants to build a strong kingdom on my territory. ”

"Although I looked down on him, I acquiesced to his actions, but in exchange. After his death, all the knowledge he has will be mine. ”

"—I still have regrets in my heart. When the Dragon King returned, the world was already in turmoil. ”

Speaking of this, Apep continued with some amazement: "Some dragons are too close to you and have forgotten the hatred of the world being taken away; Some have been killed in battle, and only bones remain; Some people choose to run away because of their pain."

"But for me, the scales and will of the Dragon King still shine indelible in my heart. Until the end of my life, I will go with it. ”

After listening to Apep's words, the little straw bag said helplessly: "You are really crazy"

"When the country that Akhmar was proud of was completely destroyed, I came as promised, swallowed him in one gulp, and absorbed his elemental power." Apep did not answer the words of the little straw bale, but still said to himself: "But what I have obtained is not the result, but the end." ”

"I didn't bother to analyze the knowledge he had, I did my best to resist the pain"

"Even so, I feel that his madness is still above me."

Paimon scratched his head and said, "That's where the end came from?" ”

Apep still said to himself: "In this matter, I admit that I was calculated by him, and I was only the last insurance in his plan. ”

"Little Bouyer, and you, keep going, I'll keep an eye on it. To what extent can a life that is cherished by Heavenly Reason be achieved?"

"Ugh." Suddenly, a low sigh rang out in the space.

Apep suddenly asked with some solemnity, "Who are you?!" ”

"Can't remember? Let me help you reminisce. The tassel figure had appeared in front of Apep, and she said to it with a blank face.

As soon as Tassel's words fell, several people suddenly realized that the green space was once again infected by another color.

"Ah!!h

Just as a few people were frightened, it was accompanied by Apep's painful roar.

"What, what's going on?" Paimon asked, looking horrified.

"It's the breath of doom, it's the king of grass, she made a move." The elemental beings in the state of the true mushroom of the land walking water replied.

"Why, we finally purified the grass dragon, and this time it has changed back." Paimon said a little uncomfortable, "Are we going to purify again?" ”

Xiao Caobao shook his head and said, "No, with our current strength, we can't do anything, even if I choose to reverse my growth, I can't completely purify the forbidden knowledge she brings." ”

"So what are we going to do?" Paimon asked anxiously.

Lu Xingshui's elemental life in the true mushroom state said with some loss: "We can't go home. ”

"Surely, I'll try to help get rid of these." The little straw bale said with a serious face.

Tassel's voice sounded around several people: "It's a pity that you can't do anything." ”

"Sure enough, it's you, King of the Great Mercy Tree." Little Straw Bale bit her lip a little sadly and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Tassel replied, "Because I love turning the world into what I want it to be, and Apep the Grass Dragon is just my first step." ”

Little bale: "!! ”

"The world in the body of the grass dragon has been reconstructed, so you better come out."

As soon as Tassel finished speaking, she used her power to take out all the people in Apep's body.

"Wow!" Suddenly, Paimon let out an exclamation.

Several people felt that the situation in front of them had changed again, and when they came back to their senses, they had already appeared in the outside world.

"We're out here?" Paimon scratched his head.

Suddenly, she looked up again and saw the grass dragon standing in front of several people without the wind and sand blocking it, and exclaimed: "Grass, grass dragon!" Good, so big! It's bigger than the one I've seen before. ”

"It's disappointing that a little dragon, a weak dragon, a little forbidden knowledge can make you so miserable." Tassel spoke.

"It's you, I think of it all." Apep's voice suddenly rose a degree.

"How do you think about it, it must be uncomfortable to be deleted by the world at will, right?" Tassel said to Apep with a smile.

Apep listened to the tassel's words and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Sure enough, you have also chosen this path, even if you recover again, you will be completely devoured by forbidden knowledge just like Amon before! ”

"You don't have to worry about that, because I am now a body and soul built from forbidden knowledge." Tassel shook his head.

She was right about that, because her current soul was foreign, and her body was reshaped by outside knowledge.

"What?! How would you make such a choice? You're even crazier than Amon!! Hearing Tassel's words, Apep was shocked: "I don't understand why you made such a choice before, obviously you hated forbidden knowledge so much, and at that time you didn't bother to be with Amon and them." ”

"Because I want to live." Tassel said flatly: "If you can live, then what about giving up this world?" ”

Apep listened to Tassel's crazy speech, suddenly thought of something, his mood suddenly calmed down, and asked Tassel: "Aren't you afraid of heaven doing this?" ”

"Heavenly reason? Hmph, it doesn't stop me yet. Tassel replied with a look of disdain.

Paimon: "Hmm"

"Paimon, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Paimon, who looked a little wrong, Sora asked with some concern.

"No, nothing." Paimon shook his head and said, "Traveler, Nahida, what do we do now?" This Great Tree King is not something we can deal with. ”

Apepe: "."

Listening to Tassel's words, Apep was silent, but she thought that Tassel made sense, because by now, the sky had not responded, and it had already said too much.

When she was exercising the forbidden knowledge, a giant nail fell from the sky, suppressing her and the forbidden knowledge in her body.

"Paimon, there's still hope, the Great Mercy Tree King hasn't polluted the whole world with forbidden knowledge, which means that we still have a chance." The little straw bale said carefully.

"Bouyer, how do you have such confidence?" Listening to the words of the little straw bag, Tassel said helplessly: "You are too weak, so weak that you don't have time to grow." ”

Little bale: "."

Tassel's words made Xiao Straw Bale suddenly silent, and she bit her lip a little unwillingly, because she knew that Tassel was telling the truth at this time.

"Since you want to grow up so much, then I'll help you." Tassel continued.

"What do you want to do?" Hearing this, Sora looked at the tassel not far away with a wary face.

Tassel replied blandly: "Of course, it's to help her grow." ”

As soon as the tassel finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to the small straw bale, which seemed to be sucked by a strong eye of the wind, and then was imprisoned in front of her by the tassel with invisible power.

"What do you want to do to Nahida, let her go." Seeing this, Kong took out his bladeless sword and used the four elemental forces in his body to slash at the tassel.

"Don't be impulsive, traveler!" Paimon hurriedly shouted.

For the violent attack of this world traveler, the tassel does not raise his eyelids, although he is the same as the glow of the world he is in.

The empty attack directly bombarded an invisible barrier, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the barrier in the slightest.

"Let her go!" Sora gritted his teeth and spoke.

Tassel: "."

"How do I feel like you're doing the same thing as a villain." The Great Cishu King also complained a little helplessly.

"But it works, doesn't it?" Tassel asked rhetorically.

The Great Mercy Tree King replied, "What you say makes sense, and it is worthy of what you can do." ”

"You're coming, then?" Tassel spoke.

King Dacishu hurriedly refused: "Forget it, it's better for you to come, just don't speak." ”

"What are you looking at me like that? Even if you beg me, I won't let you go. Tassel looked at the little straw bale that looked at him pitifully with big eyes, and replied with a smile.

Little bale: "."

She felt that something was wrong with the tree king in front of her, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"If you don't speak, then I'll continue, it's starting to hurt a little, bear with it, and the back will be comfortable." Tassel continued.

Small straw bale: "Embarrassment"

The tassel stretched out his hand to the small straw bale, and the golden power began to instill in the small straw bale with an ominous aura.

As the golden power entered his body, the little straw bag was held up by the violent power and snorted.

But she gritted her teeth and held back the cry she was about to make, and just frowned and silently endured.

"What are you going to do to Nahida?!" Sora hurriedly shouted as he watched the tassel begin to inject a power that was not an elemental force into the small straw bale.

"As you can see, in Liyue there is a word called "Sprout Booster", and I am here to help her grow up quickly." Tassel replied blandly.

What a few people didn't notice was that the grass dragon Apep was already silent at this time, and the [forbidden knowledge] that she had passed on to her with tassels before sneakily adapting to it.

The more she went deeper, the more frightened she became, the taboo knowledge given by the tassel is a controllable taboo knowledge, and the main body of the taboo knowledge is the tassel, as long as she has her permission, then this kind of power can be used by it well, and it will not bring the pain of being infected with the taboo knowledge before.

"Interesting, interesting, King of Grass, I didn't expect you to be like this, but compared to the two of Amon's despised practices, I am surprised and shocked by your change." Apep thought to himself: "The blueprint of the world you have built is also very interesting, and it also has complete laws, since it is your will, then I will do what you want." ”

"You're hurting her by doing this!" Sora listened to Tassel's words and continued to shout at him.

"That's not up to you, because now you don't have the ability to talk to me." Tassel replied, "Just look at it." ”

"Damn!"

Sora listened to Tassel's words, and looked at the invisible barrier created by Tassel with his sword very angrily, and at the same time felt sad for his own incompetence.

Paimon: "."

At this point, Paimon also noticed the problem, and she opened her mouth to warn Sora, but under the gaze of Tassel's smiling eyes, she chose to shut up and not tell Sora what she found.

"You're still a lot worse than your sister." Tassel continued: "She can calm down, but you can't, you say yes, the glow of this world." ”

"Ying?" Sora heard Tassel's sudden words, stopped the attack in his hand, and asked with a surprised expression.

After hearing the tassel shouting himself, Ying's figure also appeared, and greeted the empty flat: "Brother, we meet again." ”

"Ying, why are you here?" Sora asked urgently.

"I feel an unusual power here, come and see, it's really related to you." Ying replied.

Tassel suddenly saw the golden crown on the screen head, and asked in surprise, "She gave you the one on your head?" ”

"Yes." Ying nodded.

"I'll just tell you how to feel a familiar atmosphere." Tassel jaw head.

Ying pondered for a moment and asked the tassel, "Did she get her power from you?" ”

"That's right." Tassel replied.

Ying: "."

Hearing the tassel's affirmation, Ying fell silent, her eyes flashed, and several people didn't know what she was thinking at this time.

"Ying, what are you talking about?" Sora looked at the two people who were talking about an inexplicable conversation, and asked in some surprise.

"A power from outside the world, to explain it in Teyvat's language, this power can be called forbidden knowledge." Ying replied.

Sora continued to ask, "Are you also using this power?" ”

"If the use of this power can overthrow the principles of heaven, then even if it is dangerous to use this power, I will not hesitate to do it." Ying replied.

Null: "."

"Watch me do what? Dumb? Tassel looked at the small straw bale in front of him and suddenly looked at him with a faint look, and said flatly.

Little bale: "."

The little straw bag was stunned for a moment when she heard the tassel's words, and then blinked and looked away, as if she didn't know anything.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hold it back." Tassel continued to say to the little bale.

Xiao Straw Bale listened to Tassel's words, and hurriedly shook her head, she looked at Tassel's expression that seemed to be smiling, she felt that if she said something, something bad would definitely happen, and she felt that the probability of such an event was very high.

Looking at the appearance of the little straw bale, Tassel shook his head and sighed helplessly: "It's boring." ”

Then, she suddenly accelerated the injection of power, and she wanted to transform the little straw bag in front of her, so that she could immerse herself in the pleasure of forbidden knowledge (bushi).

The sudden injection of power made Xiao Caobao frown, and finally couldn't help but snort out in pain.

"Hmm!"

A soft snort suddenly attracted Sora's attention, and he saw that the body of the little straw bale, bathed in golden light, was growing at this time, and after a while, it grew to the same size as the tassel.

Sora: "??? ”

"Is this getting bigger? This kind of power is not good, it is to increase the capacity of your body, not to inject strength into you. After the tassel finished speaking, the body of the little straw bale shrank rapidly again under her control, and it became the appearance of the little straw bale before.

Looking at Sora with a confused face, as well as Paimon who bowed his head in silence, and the silent grass dragon and elemental life next to him, Ying sighed helplessly, it seemed that everyone here knew something, only her brother was kept in the dark.
