Chapter 212
"I brought her to you."
After the Flower Goddess' Birthday Ceremony, Lancer-Mero took Narcida to deal with some remaining problems that could only be solved by the Grass God himself - for example, the World Tree that was contaminated by forbidden knowledge.
When Lanthemello stepped onto the pure white grass at the foot of the World Tree again, a phantom that looked almost identical to Nashida appeared before them.
"Well, you have worked hard for the past five hundred years." The Great Compassionate Tree King smiled and looked at his former companion, "But I was a little surprised that you didn't get angry because of my presumptuous decision. In addition, I was also surprised that you didn't look surprised when you saw my attitude."
"Your appearance? I thought you should know that I know this." Lansemello sighed, with his hands on his hips. "No, unfortunately, you are not the first person to do this. The last person who threw all the rotten stalls to me without my knowledge was also a World Tree 'Toneriko'."
"Haha, that's how it is." The Great Compassionate Tree King looked at Lansermello with a smile, but soon put away the smile on his face, "But, I didn't expect them to use the void in this way - I thought the void system I left for them would become the same as the device you mentioned."
"So I forced the academic policy of the Decree to be adjusted... I believe you don't mind me doing this? Nashida has already agreed." Lansemero blinked, thinking about what else he wanted to say before leaving. "By the way, she is the pure white new branch of the world tree, and you prepared it yourself-"
"Like her, you have nurtured a being that will declare its own death."
"I have stayed here long enough." The Great Compassionate Tree King once again showed his gentle smile to Lansemero, "I know you have taken on the position of Great Sage of the Decree Court - but, the man of the stargazing 'Chaldea', this is not your home. I have detained you for so long, only out of my own willfulness."
"I can't go back for now." Lansemelo calmly replied to the Great Compassion Tree King, "It was the will of heaven that brought me into this world, and now, she has closed the way out of here - I still need to wait for a suitable time to go back. At least before that, someone from the Sumi people will definitely take over the work of the Great Sage."
"Even if they can't nominate someone, I have a suitable candidate myself."
"Then I'm relieved." The Great Compassionate Tree King winked at Lansemero slyly, and his eyes fell on Nashida who was standing further back. "Now, leave the last time to me and her - I will disappear from this world with the pollution, and the world will be reborn."
When she opened her eyes again in the Palace of Purity, Narcida said to Lansemello:
"Long time no see, Lycoris - I want to see you dance again."
"This is the only thing I won't agree to no matter what." Lansemero was slightly startled, and quickly rejected Nashida's request in a very tough tone, "There is one last thing - we need to deal with something related to the Ice God. I think you should know how to do it... and you also know what I have done."
Then, the magic of the "court" was lifted in the Jingshan Palace - the two executioners of the Fatui appeared in front of them one after another.
"Then, it's consistent with the contract we signed before." Lansemero, who was standing next to Nashida, held the purple Heart of Thundergod in his hand and looked at Dotore who was still standing calmly in front of them. "This is your experimental material - although I dare not agree with your experiments, after all, I can't control those things that happen outside of Xumi."
"The Heart of Thundergod will be returned to you fools - strictly speaking, to the Ice Queen, not to you, the Executive Officer."
"The same is true for the Heart of the Grass God." Nashida held the green Heart of the Grass God in her hand and looked at Dotore. "Although I can roughly understand what she wants to do, I still hope that you will try not to violate the Six Root Sins again. How the Winter ends has nothing to do with us, but we don't want her to suffer a disaster because of the problems of her subordinates."
"By the way, what did you do to the Thor puppet?" After Dotole left the Pure Palace, Nashida turned her attention to the Sixth Executive of the Fatui who was lying on the ground. "The puppet she made is close to a perpetual motion machine - in other words, it is almost the same as you."
"We took the initiative to transform ourselves into this kind of existence, rather than being made like this from the beginning." Lansemero simply refuted Nashida's evaluation and directly changed the puppet's posture to a sitting position. "I didn't do anything, I just let him sleep. However, he probably won't be able to wake up on his own."
"Um?"
"It's just that it's trapped in a deeper 'court' - the 'Garden of Avalon'." Lansemero turned around and looked at Nashida, "You should know that I had three teachers - one of whom was particularly good at all abilities related to dreams, so he built a space in the gap between dreams for them to gather and stay."
"This is the Garden of Avalon - although it is a gap in the dream, it is still a beautiful dream." Lanser-Melloi's eyes showed a nostalgic look, "The sky of Avalon is always clear blue, and the ground is full of pink and white flowers that never fade. At the foot of the watchtower standing at the end, it is the most suitable place to hold a tea party."
"But if there is no one to guide you, whether you enter or leave, you will be lost in the vast and complicated dreamland like the stars."
"However, he probably won't be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Avalon."
"Why do you say that?" Narcida walked to Lansemelo's side and looked at the puppet with its eyes closed with her. "If I want to wake him up..."
"Then I'll take you in." Lansermero stood up straight and took two steps back. "No matter which 'Avalon' it is, the most basic thing must be the same - 'Only innocent people can enter'. This doll is not an 'innocent person', I think it will be locked up in the prison tower prepared by Teacher Merlin for himself."
"Let's go."
"Don't close your eyes—you'll get lost."
On the other hand, after receiving a notice from Lansemello, in order to leave Inazuma normally - and to complete the thesis on Inazuma, Kirshtalia returned to Tsurugan and recorded the traces of Tsurugan culture, and finally hurriedly moved to Narukami Island, the only official pier in Inazuma.
"The magic 'Mana' here... is a little too active." Kirshtalia stopped on the road to the outlying island and looked back at the direction where the purple dark clouds with lightning were gathering in the sky. "Could it be that I ran into the end of the main story? Well, maybe... I should also take a look at what the most prosperous area of this country looks like."
"Ah, if only Ritsuka were here."
And when Kirshtalia stepped into the area belonging to Inazuma Castle, the purple dark clouds gathered in the sky dissipated, and the sunlight finally tore through the dark clouds that had shrouded the Eternal Kingdom for hundreds of years, bringing new light; the overly agitated magic "Mana" also naturally became gentle and peaceful, no longer giving people the feeling that they would be electrocuted even if they were walking on the road.
"I can now understand what Mashu and Ritsuka saw outside Chaldea." Kirshtalia said to Tetrot, who was following her in spirit form. "Seeing the rare sunshine in a place surrounded by blizzards all year round - I see, seeing the sunshine is such a pleasant thing."
"Let's go. We should find a ship to take us to Sumi. Although it is more convenient to go through Liyue, my thesis topic is Inazuma, Sumi and Maple Leaf... The only way to go to Maple Leaf is through Sumi." Kirshtalia smiled helplessly in the sunlight. "I also want to see what the Lord who was left here until now has done in Sumi."
"Didn't you arrange for Taigongwang to go over there?" asked Tetrot.
“But now we can’t contact each other again.” Kirshtalia sighed, used suggestion magic to reduce her presence, and blended into the outlying islands that had not yet lifted restrictions. “And the Lord said that Taigongwang would be free to move after knowing that she was fine - he probably wouldn’t remember to tell me what happened to Xumi.”
"And there is a high possibility that our speed in going to Maple Stage will eventually be slower than the Lord's. After all, in the previous communication, the Lord said that she no longer has any work."
At the junction of the rainforest and the desert, Taigong Wang, who had fled to Sumi using a four-legged beast under the arrangement of Kirshtalia, was secretly observing a group of automatic robots. In the previous Teyvat world, the information collected by Chaldea only revolved around Sumi; there were records of the immortals in Liyue because Solomon, who temporarily served as the God of Grass, would participate in the banquet of the Seven Gods.
But for Kanreya Technology——
"Well, since there is no record at all, I thought they had achieved the level of the Age of Gods machinery with human power." Tai Gongwang sighed with regret, "I didn't expect it was just this level - compared to Yinxu, it might be closer to the Age of Gods technology of Odysseus and his people."
"Now that the kid has solved all the problems, my personal curiosity has also been satisfied..." Taigong Wang reached out and patted the Sibu Xiang following him, and sat on the mount that had already gathered magic power, "It's time for us to go back to Liyue and take a break - and by the way, it's time to meet the immortals of Liyue."
The four-legged beast took Taigong Wang up into the sky, and the magic power wrapped in the shape of a dragon quickly disappeared into the sky.
"guilty!"
"guilty!"
"guilty!"
Edmond sat in a corner seat at the back row of the Opicle Opera House, watching indifferently the different expressions on the faces of the plaintiff and the defendant at both ends of the stage, as well as the fanatical expressions of the people in the audience. The end of the cardinal that represented the defendant's guilt fell heavily like a scale - in the entire opera house, only the highest judge standing at the highest point was still alone outside of this carnival.
"... Treating the 'trial' as an 'opera' - I really don't like places like this." Edmund left the opera house early and stopped in front of the Lujing Fountain. "Just like the blazing fire of revenge should not be viewed as a great revenge play."
