My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

The strong wind driven by the elemental flow suddenly became gentle when it reached Hua Yi, blowing past her face and caressing Ke Lai's face, helping the girl's confused thoughts to regain clarity bit by bit.

Ah, am I dreaming?

The ranger was shocked. She had just poked Hua Yi's cheek in a very rude way, which was definitely not the attitude she should have towards the honorary knight who was famous in Mondstadt.

"Gu..."

"Amber didn't mention in the letter that Ying mastered multiple elemental powers? That's right, at the beginning in Mondstadt, Ying could only use the wind element, and later went to Liyue and Inazuma to gain new power. Although Amber and Ying had several exchanges during that time, she might not mention it specifically in the letter. After all, it was the two of you who were communicating, so of course the experience of both parties should be the main focus."

Most of the letters Amber wrote to me were "four seven "four seven seven" seven" about you.

The first meeting between the two sides, Mondstadt under the dragon disaster, and your later becoming an honorary knight, calming the people, dealing with diplomatic issues with the Fatui of the Kingdom of Winter, etc., even major events that happened in foreign countries, such as the change in the Liyue Immortal Invitation Ceremony, Inazuma's Lockdown Order and Eye Hunting Order, Amber also wrote several pages of detailed letters.

The epics of great heroes are more attractive than academic books. I have read them several times.

"The Eye of God worn by Ying on her waist is a fake, a disguise, and so is Yulandel's. We want to avoid trouble. Colai, are you willing to keep it secret?"

"I won't say a word to anyone!"

Colai nodded vigorously. Hearing that Hua Yi was sharing a secret with him, his expression, which was a little bit at a loss just now, was now filled with joy and seriousness.

At this time, Ying, who had quickly cleared the dead zone, had returned. She made a sword flower with the West Wind Sword, threw it to the back in a very handsome way, and then put it on her back steadily.

I am awesome, right?

As an experienced adventurer, Ying is a super beautiful girl who has a good status in Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma thanks to Hua Yi. She will not take credit for such a simple effort!

"You learned the Grass Edge Sword on the first day of coming to Xumi and quickly cleared the dead zone. What a talent and enthusiasm, you are worthy of it!"

There was no need for Ying to seek praise specifically. Hua Yi had already raised his thumb, which easily made the girl smile.

"Hehe, the grass elemental force is quite useful. I originally thought it would develop into a healing combat skill, but it is still powerful in frontal combat."

Ying naturally knew that even if she mastered four elements, she would still be a weakling in front of her sweetheart.

Hua Yi must have read relevant information and must be able to command the grass elemental power, so he must not show off his skills.

She temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​asking her lover to teach her how to use the new elemental power and asked something else.

"Is the Dead Realm the same thing as the leyline mud in the Liyue Layered Abyss?"

"No."

Looking at Cole's expression, he probably didn't read a lot of books about the Dead Realm, so Hua Yi stopped being the questioner and listener to give the girl a chance to show her presence..

"Deep in the earth beneath our feet, there is a tree that is not a biological tree, but can be roughly regarded as a [world tree] growing upside down. The ground veins are the roots of the world tree, crisscrossing underground, extending from the deep and huge cavity to the ground."

The ground veins constantly absorb the memory of the world, and the world tree also gathers the information and wisdom of the world from ancient times to the present.

The reason why the previous generation of grass gods was called the god of wisdom is precisely because her consciousness is connected to the world tree. The power of the grass god can also be regarded as a manifestation of the power of the world tree.

"The death zone was recorded thousands of years ago. At that time, Xumi scholars learned from the relatives of the Great Compassion Tree King that it was a disease of the world tree. The Xumi materials I consulted did not explain how to cure the world tree. Now at least a thousand years have passed, and the death zone still exists. I heard from Cole that the frequency of appearance has increased, so the world tree..."

Is the world tree still sick?

Since it is named after the world, it is destined that the death zone is related to more than just Xumi.

Even though it was still unclear what kind of gods the Great Compassion Tree King and the Small Auspicious Grass King were behind the myths and legends, Hua Yi had already thought about it before he set foot on Xumi, and he would solve all the crises he found.

"Xumei City also has [Void Terminal], which is said to be a tool made by the Order Institute using the legacy of the Great Compassion Tree King. Some people also say that it is the cornerstone for Xumi to truly become the city of wisdom... The development trend of civilization in the continent of Teyvat, and even the differences in technological progress between different countries, are really surprising... ..."

Shengjian Xiaoyou's eyes turned. When Hua Yi was looking up Xumi's information, she also entered the relevant text into the database and learned about the so-called Void Terminal.

Isn't that similar to a computer network? I will definitely be able to use it when the time comes.

While talking, Hua Yi and his party continued to move forward.

Travelers from different countries were heading to the same destination. There were escorts from Liyue escorting large caravans, and judging from the flags, they were still old brands from Liyue Port. There were also mercenaries from the Gilded Brigade, who wore simple clothes in the style of Xumi and whose skin was brown due to long-term sun exposure, and used pack animals to transport goods.

As they approached Xumi City, the number of merchants on the road gradually increased. The escorts and the Gilded Brigade kept their distance and were alert to their surroundings. Foreign travelers looked at the scenery of Xumi curiously.

There was another group of people who did not travel together, but whose behavior patterns were surprisingly similar. They neither carried goods for business nor carried large and small bags for long-distance travel. They had empty hands, clasped their hands in front of their chests, and looked at the direction of Xumi City with a calm and firm look. When they climbed over the slope with limited vision and saw the huge crown of the holy tree in the distance, their eyes burst into a brilliant and pious light.

They are pilgrims, including men, women, young and old, and the coverage group is quite broad, but Huayi can tell from their clothes and skin color that most of the pilgrims are from the Xumi rainforest. Their skin has been tanned under the harsh sun in the desert, and even if they enter the humid rainforest area, they still have the habit ofDesert people who are used to wearing breathable clothes are very rare among the pilgrims.

Unlike Mondstadt, where the gods grant freedom to the people, and Liyue, which has walked with the gods for thousands of years, and Inazuma, where there is no demon god other than the twin thunder gods after the end of the demon war, Xumi is divided into two areas: rainforest and desert. The sphere of influence of the grass god is the rainforest, while the desert corresponds to another demon god, the Red King.

The existence of the anti-sand wall seems to be evidence that the grass god and the Red King are enemies. The different beliefs and positions have caused the relationship between the two places in Xumi to become stiff. .
