"Maybe......"

Collei remembered his "devil's scale disease", and it was already reluctant to become a trainee ranger.

Becoming as strong as these adventurers in front of her, she was a little afraid to expect it.

Li Qiuzhi glanced at her, and he also knew something about Collai's situation.

Both the Dead Realm and the "Demon Scale Disease" are related to the contamination of the World Tree by the forbidden knowledge mentioned in the original book, and that forbidden knowledge comes from the abyss.

One is a disease against the rainforest, and the other is a disease against people, and it is certainly no coincidence that there are so many connections.

Obviously, the power of the forbidden knowledge to pollute the World Tree may also be a variant of the power of the abyss.

And the kind of power that caused the "Demon Scale Disease" is also closely related to the power of the abyss.

After the pollution of the World Tree was cleaned up in the original book, the dead realm of the rainforest no longer expanded, and the Sumeru people who suffered from "Demon Scale Disease" immediately improved.

If Ying can master the power of the dead realm that plunders life, and master the polluting power that causes "forbidden knowledge", and clean up the pollution of the World Tree, maybe she can help Collei cure the "Demon Scale Disease".

Or take a step back, and just grasp the power that causes "Demon Scale Disease" should be fine.

According to his speculation, the pure power of the abyss should be more advanced than the ordinary power of the abyss, as well as the power of pollution of forbidden knowledge, as well as the power of the dead domain and the power of the demon scale disease.

As for Ying in the form of "Abyss Princess", she not only wields the power of the pure abyss, but also can interfere with the power of the abyss that does not originate from herself.

In this way, it should not be difficult to solve the problem of "magic scale disease".

Li Qiuzhi had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It's just that all he thinks is speculation based on his shallow knowledge, whether this is really the case, and he has to ask Ying to find Collei to test it.

In the original book, Collei seems to be quite reluctant, and others know that he has "devil's scale disease".

It may be a bit rude to ask rashly, but you have to find a suitable reason.

"Now this can be regarded as cleaning up this dead domain, hehe, now you can rest assured to continue to Sumeru City, don't worry about someone straying into this dead domain."

Paimon said happily as he looked at the rainforest that had come to life again.

"Speaking of which, the scene of the revival of the dead domain just now is quite shocking, it turns out that the vitality of the Dead Domain Tumor has not actually disappeared?"

Ying said in surprise

"Well, the Dead Domain wasn't very big when it was first born, but as time goes by, when the Dead Domain tumor absorbs enough vitality, it will be used to continue to expand the scope of the Dead Domain."

Collei nodded and said.

"It's like a parasite, absorbing the nutrients of the rainforest to strengthen itself!" Paimon said indignantly.

"Collei, are you alright?" At that moment, a figure ran outside.

Hearing the voice, everyone looked over.

Seeing the seniors who took him to patrol the forest come over, Collei beckoned with a smile:

"I'm here, Nasrin-senpai!"

"Whew, great, you're fine, seeing that you haven't come out, I thought there was some accident.

"I was about to go back to Mr. Tighnari to come and help, but suddenly I saw that the Dead Realm was gone, so I immediately rushed over to check on the situation."

Nasline said with a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

Collei felt a little embarrassed, then looked at Li Qiuzhi and a few people, and then turned around and introduced:

"By the way, these are not some travelers who accidentally broke into the Dead Domain, but very powerful adventurers, and they cleaned up the Dead Domain just now!"

“… It's no wonder that although Collei is the holder of the Vision, he probably doesn't have the strength to deal with the Dead Domain on his own, thank you for your help! ”

Naslin nodded, thanking Li Qiu for giving them a sigh of gratitude.

"Hehe, it's just a gesture!" Paimon said with a smile.

"Your efforts have solved us a lot of trouble.

"This location is close to Liyue, and you are here, did you come from there to venture to Sumeru?

"If that's the case, as a thank you for anything you don't know about Sumeru, you can ask us."

Nasline said.

"Okay, okay, we're thinking of going to Sumeru City, and we don't know enough about the things that need to be paid attention to over there, so I'm just going to hear from you."

Paimon nodded happily.

What they had seen in Liyue before was only a basic introduction, and the details were still up to the locals.

"Well, let's talk as we go."

Nasline replied with a smile.

Traveling from Liyue to Sumeru will usually pass through the Huacheng Fortress, and travelers and adventurers alike will not miss out on supplying their supplies there.

So she was going to take Li Qiu to return with them, after all, she found that such a big thing as the Dead Domain, even if it had been solved, she had to go back and make a record.

……

In the next time, there were two forest rangers with Li Qiuzhi, and they didn't have to worry about getting lost in the forest.

It should be possible to reach Huacheng Castle soon.

Time passed while Li Qiuzhi and the others were asking Naslin and Collei about various things about Sumeru.

There are a lot of monsters in the forest, especially the mushroom beasts that have mastered the elemental power, so it's okay if you don't disturb them.

If you disturb them, those cute mushrooms will attack them.

However, their strength is generally not strong, and they are only more than twenty levels, and even Collei can easily defeat them.

As they walked deeper into the forest, their vision was dense and green.

If you don't walk on the path that people have carved out, it's easy to get dizzy, and even experienced rangers can lose their way if they're not careful.

"Collei, how long will it be before we arrive, I feel hungry......"

Paimon, who had been flying for an hour or two, shrugged his drooping limbs as if he were hanging in midair.

The stomach growled.

“…… Well, we can't see the sun in the woods, so it's noon when we're walking? ”

Collei pulls out a pocket watch from the Vision's weighted space, ready to check the time.

This pocket watch of hers is very distinctive.

The case is red with a white heart, and the white part in the middle is painted with a doll with red rabbit ears on its head and goggles.

This doll successfully attracted the attention of Li Qiuzhi and several others, and Paimon looked at it with some surprise and said:

"Hey, isn't this Amber's Earl Bunny? Collei, how do you have a pocket watch in the image of Count Bunny? ”

Hearing the word "Amber", Collei seemed to have triggered some chain reaction, and she forgot the purpose of looking at the time, and hurriedly looked at Paimon with an excited expression:

"Amber!? You just said Amber, right... And Count Bunny, don't you know her too? ”

"Wow, Collet, don't be so excited."

Paimon shook his head helplessly:

"It seems that Collei does know Amber, we started our adventures in Mondstadt from the beginning, and we have received a lot of help from her, what about you? How did you meet Amber? ”

Paimon looked at Collei with some curiosity.

She also didn't expect that in distant Sumeru, the first person she met was Amber's friend.

It's a small world.

"Great, I didn't expect you to be Amber's friends too." Collei was a little surprised, and then continued:

"Amber and I also met in Mondstadt, when she took great care of me and still writes to me and sends me small gifts.

"This pocket watch was given to her before, and I have kept it carefully in the Vision space, and I only take it out when I need to see the time.

"It's a pity that I don't know many words, and she gave me so many gifts, I can't even write a more formal thank you letter......"

Speaking of this, Collei suddenly felt a little lost.

"Collei really values his friends." Nasline said with a smile on her face.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying also nodded in agreement.

"I see." Paimon said with a mysterious smile, "Hehe, this is simple, I can do the legendary teleportation magic, why don't I teleport her right away, how about you thank her in person?" ”

"Really!"

Collei hadn't seen Amber in a long time, and Paimon Jr. said that he could find Amber, and he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Of course, I'm Paimon the Grand Magician!"

Paimon lifted his chin and flew into the air with his waist crossed, and his expression of belief in Collei was very happy!

Li Qiuzhi and Ying both looked at her a little speechlessly, but they didn't expose it, so let this guy enjoy the feeling of being admired.

"Okay, please teleport Amber over!" Collei clutched his little white fist and looked at Paimon with an expression of endless anticipation.

"Hehe, no problem, just leave it to Paimon, the Grand Magician!" Paimon begins to mentally connect with Amber in Mondstadt.

"Ah, please wait!"

Collei seemed to realize something and said:

"Wouldn't it scare her to teleport Amber all of a sudden, and she should be working right now.

"I'm not ready yet, what to say to her after we meet, or wait first."

Hey, though Paimon was able to use Star Trek to get Amber over.

But don't you have any doubt that any magician can teleport people from such a distance?

And the magic is fake, this should be common sense!

Li Qiuzhi and Ying both looked at Collei in disbelief.

Do you have such a deep affection for Amber, and you were naturally fooled by little Paimon!

"Hmph, my stomach gets hungry just as soon as it's close to meal, and it's clear that it's time to eat at noon.

"Amber must be resting now, and I'll use magic to tell her what happened in advance, don't worry about scaring her!"

Paimon hurriedly said.

It's a rare opportunity to be in the limelight, and she doesn't want to miss it!

"Huh... Not... Well, I—I'm ready! ”

Collei was also looking forward to meeting Amber, so after thinking about it, he took a deep breath and decided to meet Amber again!

"Hmph, okay, keep your eyes open and don't blink!"

Everyone stopped in an open area in the woods and watched Paimon pretend to be some great magician.

In fact, Li Qiuzhi and Ying both knew that she was just explaining the situation to Amber and asking her to teleport over.

It seemed that Amber had a reply quickly, and Paimon's eyes suddenly widened and he said excitedly:

"Here, watch my teleportation magic!"

She gestured to the spot in front of her, and Collei kept staring at the place motionless, but a second or two passed.

Paimon's front was still empty, nothing had happened.

The awkward atmosphere began to creep in.

Just as Paimon was about to ask what was going on, he suddenly saw Collei's eyes light up.

There was also a force behind her, gently pushing her away and a surprise shout:

"Collei!"

"Amber!"

Collei watched as Amber actually appeared, not in front of Paimon, but behind her.

But she really didn't lie to herself, she really knew the legendary teleportation magic!

However, in the face of a friend who he hadn't seen for a long time, Collei couldn't thank him, and went directly to the familiar figure that he hadn't seen for a long time!

Two girls of what seemed to be their height hugged each other.

"Alas, little Collei usually thinks about her friend who is far away in Mondstadt every day, which makes everyone a little curious, but today I finally saw her!"

Nasline hugged her arms and said happily for Collet.

"Hehe, if you're so happy, let's have a big meal!" Li Qiuzhi smiled lightly, and then casually cut open a spatial crack.

I took out all kinds of fresh ingredients and pots and pans.

Anyway, there is still a while before Huachengguo, so I just solved lunch first!

"Good!"

Paimon, the great magician who has succeeded in the limelight, agrees very much, and he doesn't mind that the two girls forget about her, the great benefactor who made them meet!

A relatively empty part of the woods.

The five of them sat at the round table, chatting while waiting for Li Qiuzhi to finish the meal.

Nasline said that she never imagined that she would be able to sit at the dinner table and eat properly in the wild.

After Paimon finished pretending to be the Grand Magician, he was once again dominated by hunger, and he sat down in his chair unable to fly.

Ying listened curiously to the conversation between Amber and Collei.

Amber, who had a red rabbit ear knot tied on her head, had calmed down her excitement about seeing her friend, and asked the green-haired girl next to her:

"Collet, how are you doing?"

She knew that Collei's body was not too good because of the disease, so she was a little concerned about meeting again at this time.

"Amber, don't worry, with the help of Master Tighnari, my 'Devil's Scale Disease' won't be flaring up as often."

Maybe it's because he knows that Li Qiuzhi is Amber's friend, and Collei is not afraid to talk about his situation.

"What is 'Devil's Scale Disease'?" Ying noticed something she hadn't heard of.

So he asked Nasline next to him curiously.

"This is a disease unique to Sumeru, and the cause of how it is is still being studied for the time being, and people who suffer from this disease will have gray-black scales on their bodies.

"In the beginning, the patient will only feel some numbness in the area where the skin lesion occurs, and as the disease progresses, the strength of the limbs will weaken, and the fingers will occasionally lose sensation."

Seeing Ying's curiosity about this, Naslin slowly introduced her to the "Demon Scale Disease".

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a follow-up, ask for a recommendation, thank you for your support!
