People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 383: The Abyss Cult's Request and the Abyss Spiral
".The central mark is one of the easiest demon materials for you to obtain in Mondstadt.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you can pass the trial of that lord."

"."

As Lin Feng gave the answer, the group of travelers in front of him fell silent for a moment.
——Originally, I thought that it would be ideal to find some materials for boss monsters in Mondstadt, and materials for gods were just unrealistic fantasies of Paimon.
But now that I heard that there is actually a chance to obtain items of the demon god level,

While Ying was happy, she also felt a unique sense of unreality for a moment.

After a pause, he carefully sorted out the information Lin Feng had just given.

Ying grasped the points that she was most concerned about and asked some questions with some doubt:
".You just said that the prerequisite for obtaining materials is to pass a trial?
But is there such a demon god in Mondstadt who would accept the challenge of ordinary people? Why haven’t we heard of it in such a long time since we came here?”

"Don't worry, since I've marked it, it's definitely there."

"——The one who will conduct the trials for you is Andrius, the ancient demon god of Mondstadt, the 'King of the North Wind'.
Of course, nowadays it is more accustomed to being called the Wolf Lord."

Knowing that it was very rare for a demon god to personally engage in battle and offer rewards to the winner, Lin Feng explained:

"A long, long time ago, this demon god, like the Dragon of the East Wind, was one of the guardians worshipped by the people of Mond. He also had a deep friendship with the first Knight of the North Wind.
After he parted ways with his companions and chose to stop wandering and become the lord of the Wolf Territory,
Providing trials for those with courage and strength and rewarding the winners has become a tradition that it has upheld to this day."

"If I must say, the reason you don't know much about him is probably because Mond's history is so severely lost.

Just like most Mondstadt people didn't know about the Wind Dragon before this disaster.
The story of the "Northern Wind Wolf" should have disappeared from the outside world for a long time after it lost its body and entered a state of death and chose not to leave Wolf Ridge. "

Introduces Andrius' current situation and the causes of the situation in a very concise way.

Although Lin Feng was a little helpless to complain about the Mond people's ability to forget everything,

But after all, the House of Representatives has already planned to cooperate with Mond in education.
I think that once basic education becomes popularized, there will no longer be a situation where only a few guardian families remember everything.

???

"Wait?! Lost the body? In a "dead" state?
——This is too bad even for a demon god!"

"Are you really sure that a demon god who has been dead for so long can still provide a trial for Ying?"

Hearing that series of keywords that couldn't be any worse,

Paimon was so shocked that he even stopped eating. He obviously didn't expect that the demon god in this situation could still accept the trial.

"Don't worry, it's just the loss of life and body, which is not a rare thing for a demon."

"Andrius will adjust his power according to the strength of the visitor. I suggest you don't underestimate him too much."

Although this state sounds terrible, it basically means nothing is left for ordinary creatures.

But after all, Andrius still retains the most core part of his authority as a demon god. If he uses all his strength, he still has the power to freeze the earth.
If Ying thought Andrius was weak because he was dead now, then Lin Feng felt that this guy would suffer a little later.

"."

"Well, after all, the various situations of demon gods are very different from those of ordinary people, even the state of death is very different.
You can experience the specific situation for yourself when you actually meet Andrius later."

"However, according to the communication between Liyue and the Ministry of Education,
I think the next reward you will receive will most likely be a "Treasure Hunting Compass" that combines alchemy and some fairy magic. It is a precious fairy magic tool that can slowly locate treasure chests in the wild according to the direction of the earth veins.
Although I don't usually participate in adventures, I think this kind of thing is the most suitable for you."

“——Huh?! A treasure-hunting compass?! So there really is such a thing in the world?!”

Suddenly hearing a term that only appeared in his dreams, Paimon blinked, unable to believe that such an unimaginable treasure would be given as a reward.

".After all, the treasure chests born in the earth veins are often guarded by monsters. Even if they are found, ordinary adventurers have no idea where to start.

Not to mention that the items in the treasure chests are too abstract. In the eyes of most people, finding treasure chests is a matter of input and output that is completely disproportionate."

He said halfway and then shook his head.
Although I don't understand why Ying and Paimon in front of me are so enthusiastic about taking away a bunch of worthless materials after a hard battle,
But after all, this situation has been going on for a few days, so Lin Feng still maintained due respect for the little yellow-haired boy's hobbies.

".Hehe, treasure hunting compass, hehehe."

"."

He glanced at the white-haired ball who was still intoxicated and had no idea what he had just said.

Because this guy looked so tempting, I couldn't help but rub him twice.
After seeing Paimon's puffed cheeks, he showed an expression that said, "I'm in a good mood now, so I'll be merciful and let you touch me."

For a moment, Lin Feng actually felt that this guy, apart from being a big eater, was actually quite cute sometimes.

"——Goodbye~ Ying and I will visit all these places according to the punctuation you gave us.

When the Liyue treasure compass reward arrives, we must become the Adventurer's Association's "Treasure Hunting Expert" this year! "

In front of the tavern, the energetic Paimeng and Ying waved to Lin Feng, showing an excited expression that would scare the monsters.

After the Traveler Team generously stated that they would share all the materials with him as the intelligence provider,
As he was about to set off, Paimon touched his head again, as if he suddenly remembered something:
".By the way, do you know why there are so many frozen trees in Mondstadt?"

".According to what you said before, this large elemental plant should have the function of regulating the energy of the earth veins, right?

But why is it that Mond's climate is so warm, but only frost trees grow from the earth veins?

Ying and I searched for a long time before, but we didn’t find any other species of elemental plants.”

"Well, due to some complicated reasons, it is indeed unlikely that the current Mondstadt leyline can produce giant activated plants of other elements.
If you want to find some different species of "predatory plants", the closest one should still be in Liyue."

After all, the root cause of this phenomenon is too complicated to explain, and Lin Feng does not intend to start from the beginning for the time being.

"Ah? You have to run that far?"

"Thank you for your patience. I'd better wait until I have time to use the earth anchor to go to Liyue."

Paimon found that he couldn't find all seven elements of the fighting tree in Mondstadt, so he had no choice but to give up his initial collection plan. "Hehe, wait a moment, the work I'm doing now is actually related to the abundance of their population.
When I finish the work at hand, maybe it will not only be the "revitalized plants" of the seven elements, but with luck, some complex varieties may emerge."

"——Absolutely not! You should stop doing these weird researches!
If a tree with multiple elements really appeared, Ying and I wouldn’t know what to do! ”

I think what Lin Feng said about increasing the number of frozen trees is actually some weird monster hybridization or variety improvement experiment.

Having no idea how the final result would be achieved, Paimon angrily refused.

A moment later, under a tree in front of the tavern.

After watching Ying and Paimeng walk away, Lin Feng
He glanced around and took the initiative to approach a black-robed figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat under the tree. His presence was very low:
".How is it? I've been looking around here for quite some time. Are you satisfied with your sister's life now?"

"."

"Thank you. I am very happy to see her so carefree.
Compared to the "journey" we are destined to go through, perhaps the current adventurous daily life is more suitable for her."

He raised his head, revealing a blond face under the brim of his hat that looked somewhat similar to the little yellow-haired boy.

After experiencing countless events during the journey,

I feel very relieved that my sister is now happy and knows nothing and does not need to know anything.

".Well, having said that, although I understand your sect's need to hide their identities,
But why wear all black in broad daylight?"

He glanced at Sora, who was standing precisely in the shade of the tree in the corner, as if he was about to blend into the shadow.
Lin Feng recalled Ying's sunny and kind appearance, and felt that the little yellow-haired creature from the abyss had deteriorated seriously.
".Um, this is probably because the cult only has this type of equipment for concealing aura.
After all, as the current leader of the cult, I have never had the need to appear in the main city of the country during the day."

He looked down at his current attire.

Although Kong knew that this was a bit strange, due to his past habits, he still had some experience on how to hide in these dark corners.

"."

"That's all."

"Take off that hat and let's talk in the pub. With me here, you don't have to worry about anyone finding it strange."

I also understand that habits formed over hundreds of years are not so easy to change.

While Lin Feng was being extra vigilant to prevent Ying from becoming like this, he still extended an invitation to the little yellow-haired boy who came to see him on purpose.

".So, how is the migration progress of Mondstadt's native hill people now?"

".Did that guy Wendy slack off, or did the God of Wind completely forget what he was supposed to do?"

In the tavern,

Lin Feng looked at Kong, who hadn't eaten in such a place for hundreds of years.

In addition to ordering more food, he also asked the question he was most worried about because of his distrust of the drunkard.

".You don't have to worry, the migration is almost complete, and the God of Wind has fulfilled his promise very well."

"The hillocks that have gathered together now will be comforted and guided by Kalibel. We will try our best to transfer the remaining individuals later."

Recalling how anxious I was before I was caught, and comparing it with the current situation of Mondstadt, Liyue, and Xumi being unimpeded after I was caught,

Facing the existing members of the cult who have regained hope and have begun to try to identify their family and friends among the Hillock people,
For a moment, Kong even thought that this result might not be bad.

"Is that so? It seems this guy is reliable sometimes."

I nodded, feeling relieved for the time being.
Lin Feng felt that Wendy's efficiency was so high this time, probably because for him and Mond,

Being able to migrate these Hilichurls, who were originally potential threats, to Kong as rewards is actually a win-win situation.

".However, although the number of Qiuqiu people has decreased a lot compared to 500 years ago, the overall number is still not small.
Considering that even the Hilliards cannot adapt to the pure Abyss environment, do you have a suitable place for them to be accommodated in the Abyss Cult?"

I haven't forgotten the huge number I saw when I counted the number of people in Xumi and Liyue.
Lin Feng felt that after incorporating the Hillichul people from three countries, the cult would be stretched even for food and space resources.

"It's barely sustainable."

"Although the memories of the past have been erased, the Qiuqiu people who have survived to this day still have the ability to obtain their own food and even grow crops.
After the meeting is completed, Kalibel will guide them through the opened transmission channel.

After they have all moved to their target location, the members of the cult will help them open up living space on some marginal islands.

But if the number continues to increase, there may not be enough space in the future."

Although this is the case, the food demand of the cult was close to zero.
In order to fill some resource gaps, he has even arranged for some members of the cult who can disguise their identities to exchange the accumulated supplies for food in the market of Liyue as a temporary transition.

However, since the Abyss Cult did not need any treasures, a lot of "garbage" was accumulated.
Now, as long as we can convert those "waste products" into cash, we don't have to worry about any major problems for a long time in the future.

"——Well, actually, this is also the reason why I came to see you this time."

"Some time ago, we discovered an underground ruin full of the power of the abyss on an island in Mondstadt.

Unlike the narrow entrance on the surface, if you explore downwards you will find that the space seems endless.
While I decided that place would be your future training ground, I also thought of Liyue's cave-heaven technique."

"——After you have mastered the power of the abyss, can you, with the materials provided by us, help the future hillbillies build one or more large caves that can accommodate them?

Besides this, if there is any situation that requires the help of the cult, I guarantee that no member will refuse it. "

Finally, I found a place suitable for training the power of the abyss.

In addition to telling the good news, Kong also made a request to Lin Feng, which perhaps only he could do, because of possible difficulties in the future.
