People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 406 Lin Feng: Oh no, could the Great Compassion Tree King be a scammer?
".The previous generation of "Buyer"? You mean?"

After blinking, he finally realized who Lin Feng was referring to.

Nashida paused for a moment, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

"Yeah, it's what you think."

Lin Feng nodded, stood up from the table and walked to Nashida.
Looking at the emerald green eyes of the little grass god in front of him, he smiled and said:

"——In fact, you have been in Xumi for such a long time, you should be able to notice the changes in the conditions of those patients with demon scales, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, their symptoms should have almost disappeared."

".That's right."

“Although there are still some symptoms left,

But at present, not only are there no new patients in the entire Xumi area, but even those who were sick in the past have returned to their normal lives.”

"I remember that this is because you have cleaned up the earth veins many times before. Could it be that..."

Nashida blinked, making some guesses about the current situation.

"exactly."

Lin Feng nodded:

"——The power of rock and grass is closely related to the earth veins, and the power of wind element increases the radiation range of my power."

"In addition, the ley lines in each country are not completely connected, which greatly reduces the difficulty of inspection.

To this day, I have almost cleared away all the forbidden knowledge flowing in the outer earth veins.

The remaining stubborn parts of the World Tree are nothing to be afraid of."

After a brief pause, he gave the final conclusion in the face of Nashida's surprised expression:

"——So, I think based on the conditions, it is time to put the matter of bringing back the Tree King on the agenda."

"——Although judging from the state of the throne on your body, the Tree King is indeed "dead" at the moment,
The knowledge that is left to you is probably the final carrier of consciousness."

"But during my time in Mond, I have found a demon god that died a long time ago, and it is willing to cooperate with me in researching a body that can carry consciousness."

"It won't take long.

After I have mastered the technique of reshaping my body with the help of the demon god,
Next time we go back to Xumi, we can go to the World Tree together."

"."

For a moment, I was frozen in place, as if I had never expected this day to come.

Nashida looked at the "memories" in the deepest part of her memory that had existed since her birth, and suddenly she didn't know what to think:

——In fact, her life in the past few hundred years could not be considered good. Even the people of Xumi were about to forget her existence.
During such a long period of time, it seemed that no one had ever cared about her feelings as an individual other than a god.

But it wasn’t like this at the beginning.

In the more distant past, when she was first born and was just a sapling,

Whether it is sunny or cloudy, whether it is early morning or late evening,

Whenever she felt lonely and shook the branches, a gentle voice would always appear.

Looking back, everything was so simple back then.
Bask in the sun, get wet in the rain, listen to short fairy tales that come from nowhere, and grow up slowly but happily.
Although one day later,
That voice left and never came back.

But at that time, she was still naive and full of expectations for everything she had never experienced.

after that,
When she looked forward to the arrival of the "Knight of Flowers" mentioned by the voice,

When she was trying to absorb knowledge and looking forward to doing something for the people as a god,

This last good time ended forever on that day.
???

Suddenly, I felt someone hugging me, and a familiar, reassuring scent came from my nose.

Nashida's body stiffened slightly, then quickly relaxed.

Turning his head to the left, he found Lin Feng sitting next to him.

As she looked over, she heard a voice that sounded a little helpless:
"——As expected, you are thinking about the past again?"

".For hundreds of years,
The only good memory I have is listening to people tell stories when I was a sapling.

Although I have heard it many times, your childhood was indeed a bit too bad. "

While speaking to comfort him, he reached out a hand to touch the little guy's head.
After a moment, I found that Nashida didn't seem to have any objections.

Lin Feng also picked her up from her seat and placed her on his lap.

"."

Not heavy, no excessive reaction.

In addition to the cool touch, there is the usual scent of grass.

???

Somewhat surprised by Nashida's reaction,
I had intended to interrupt her thoughts with this move.
But suddenly I found that I seemed to have become accustomed to this level of contact.

He tilted his head slightly in discomfort.
Lin Feng could only sigh that the little guy's emotions had stabilized a lot compared to when they first met.

"."

".Thanks."

A moment of silence,

Then, I heard a rare and straightforward thank you from Nashida.

Lin Feng looked up at the graffiti on the ceiling that looked like they were drawn by hand, and felt that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.

".Don't worry, nothing unexpected will happen."

".The previous delay was just for safety reasons. Now is the best time."

"Although I really don't know what the Great Compassion Tree King symbolizes to you,
Is it a family member, a playmate, a mentor, or all of the above?

But no matter what, from this moment on, the day when you can meet in real life is very close. "

".Thanks."

A brief response came, very frankly without being polite to him,
Nashida, who used to find ways to reward people for even the smallest favor,
Now that we've been together, I'm no longer obsessed with that kind of thing.

"."

Not knowing how to respond for a moment, Lin Feng could only pick up a few cakes from the table and stuff one into each of the little ones' mouths.
Then think for a moment and continue to act as a ruthless conversation starter:
".If you think about it carefully, there is a lot of work to be done after returning to Mondstadt."

".Study alchemy, contact the abyss, and change the rules of that small piece.
I guess by the time I’m done with this, the Wind Flower Festival in mid-March will be almost here.”

"Wait, when the time is right, even if I haven't finished the work over there, I will go back to Xumi in advance.
Although it may take a lot of effort to completely change the state of "death",
But no matter what, I will try to get you two to go together for this festival."

He did not intend to let the two of them work together immediately after pulling up the Great Compassion Tree King.
Even though Nashida might be happy because of someone's company, Lin Feng felt that this kind of thing sounded too weird.

Anyway, there is still plenty of time.
He felt that when he was done with his work, taking the two of them to Mond for a vacation would be a nice welcome ceremony.

".!"

I felt the familiar feeling of anticipation, as if Nashida had finally come out of her depressed state of reminiscing about the past.

Lin Feng, feeling relieved, was just about to put the little guy down, but then he felt a resistance coming from his arms.

???

He looked at Nashida, whose ears were trembling slightly, with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, he realized that the situation was a little different from what he had imagined.
Lin Feng paused slightly. While he was puzzled, he also began to doubt whether the content of this guy's recent dreams was healthy.

“Hoo—hum—”

The next morning, high in the sky,
Among the rushing white clouds, a giant blue dragon flapped its wings, carrying everyone back from Xumi after their mission was accomplished.

Perhaps it was because Wendy had tormented him enough times in the past that working had become a habit.
As a ruler who should have been high and mighty in ancient times, Tevarin now has no objection to manned flight.

"."

The slightly damp clouds brushed through everyone's hair.

Lin Feng stood on the dragon's back, looking back at the gradually receding Xumi.
Because he might have an extra companion when he comes back next time, he is also somewhat curious about what the scene will be like when that day comes:
——After all, Nashida has become two, each with their own concerns.

The Great Compassionate Tree King lives up to his name and can help take care of the little one that has been waiting for a long time.
". However, according to Nashida, her wonderful metaphors seem to have been inherited from the tree king.
Could it be that this guy is not as reliable and mature as I thought under his appearance? "

We are used to the fact that gods have two faces when facing the people and daily life.

He turned his head and looked at the "dignified and solemn" Emperor and the "powerful and mysterious" Wendy beside him.

I have no hope for the lower limit of the gods of Teyvat.
Lin Feng only prayed that the Great Compassion Tree King would not be as outrageous as a certain drunkard.
"Ah-"

"——Is this strange? Could it be that someone is trying to harm me?
That shouldn’t be the case. Although most Mond people have never seen me in person, they should still respect me.”

On the dragon's back,

Because of the law of true fragrance, after the initial resistance, I packed up a lot of the sand scorpion claws that were roasted in rice crust last night.

At this time, a certain wind god, who was drinking and cutting meat, and had already piled up a small pile of shells on Tevarin's back, looked around suspiciously.

"."

".Well, in terms of universal reason,

Even as a god, premonitions like these are not always accurate, so I don’t think you need to take them to heart.”

"Also, after arriving in Liyue, the trouble will be a little more hidden.
This time my leave is a little overdue, I have to go to the hall master to cancel my leave as soon as possible."

He took out a bird cage from somewhere, and looked at the green-skinned wine mask on the side.
It seemed that because he was about to meet Master Hu, he started taking his usual old man's stroll again.

Lin Feng: "."

Well, I guess I shouldn't have such high expectations.

He flew straight all the way, sending Zhongli and Ruotu away on the way.

As they were almost arriving in Mondstadt, Lin Feng, who had a lot of things on his hands, was also thinking about what his top priority should be.

Thinking about the agreement he had made with Albedo, he looked up to the left and saw Wendy, who had been eating and drinking there and was almost making Tevarin unable to bear it:

“——As I recall, you should be familiar with Kanreya’s alchemy, right?

Or, you know the "gold" of that witch society."

"——I have no intention of exploring your deep secrets.

But if I plan to create a demon body and study the abyss,

Would it be helpful to first learn this technique, which is quite different from normal alchemy?"

"."

It is clear that Wendy has hidden a lot of things.
Lin Feng, who had never met the Witch Society, was very curious whether those guys were deliberately avoiding him.

".Huh? What secret? Do I have a secret?"

".Ahem, although the people from the Witch Society have competed with me in some things,
But I only know a little bit about their affairs, um, really."

After wiping her greasy mouth, Wendy, who had almost finished her meal, put away the wine and food.

When he, who was joking, found out that Lin Feng was preparing to persuade him physically, he suddenly realized it and turned to business as quickly as possible:
“——Ahem! Wait! Don’t do anything yet!”

"——I suddenly remembered that I knew a little bit about Kanreya's chalk alchemy.

My friend, you really have excellent vision. You came to the right person to ask me this question!"

After sliding down at the speed of light, his attitude changed 180 degrees.

Lin Feng, with a frown on his face, felt that it was not unreasonable for Wendy to be beaten by the old man all day long.

".Ahem, in short,
Based on our subsequent itinerary, I do recommend that you learn this great art disguised as alchemy first.
Although even the guy "Gold" doesn't have a complete grasp of it,
But this skill is not only applicable to Teyvat, it is a sophisticated method in the entire star sea."

It was just a joke at first.
In fact, even if Lin Feng didn't ask, he would recommend learning this kind of thing first so that he could retire as soon as possible:
——Contrary to popular belief, there are actually quite a few outsiders in Teyvat.
Even those aliens accepted during the Kanreya period were able to form their own institutions if they worked hard.

According to the information from these outsiders,

Unlike in Teyvat, looking at the surrounding world, alchemy is also a precious thing that is commonly used in most worlds and is called a secret art.

Among them, the one mastered by "Golden" Rhinedot is undoubtedly the skill with the highest threshold, the most dangerous, but also the most powerful.
Faced with this method that can even communicate with the abyss and create a perfect body for the free will in the abyss,

Even though Albedo was very wary of the Abyss and insisted on not using it like his master,

But judging from the things that my friend will do in the future, it is definitely beneficial to learn this thing first.

".However, the only problem is that it is quite difficult to get started, and the damage caused by losing control is also quite horrific.
Not to mention if it falls into the hands of those who are curious about the Abyss and want to imitate Gold but don’t have such high means.”

"Ahem, anyway, given the choice between character and talent, even if learning channels have been opened for such a long time, only a few people can learn the basics."

"However, after all, the chalk alchemy is also known as the 'black earth technique', which is mainly a technique for manipulating 'life'.
Judging from your talent in this aspect of life, I think it shouldn’t take long to get started.”

After going through so many things, I no longer have any doubts about Lin Feng's efficiency in learning this aspect.
Wendy paused on the dragon's back, thinking about the chief alchemist of the Knights who always wanted to teach but never could. He could already foresee what would happen when the two of them met.
