Chapter 1549: Jade Star’s Birthday, Jacob, and Erinace

The next day.

Yantora and Caterpillar leave Melo Petersburg.

Jiang Yi continued to teach the prisoners as usual.

Occasionally, I would go to the production area with Sigwen to observe the physical condition of the workers and give extra meals to those who were exhausted. It was a very interesting thing.

Ying once again saw the son's "experience" in Melro Petersburg through the Eye of God. He was called by an unknown existence and disappeared in the pipe.

The length of the pipeline in Mello Petersburg is almost the same, and the "experience" of the young master that he saw was intermittent. Ying took a lot of effort to find several prisoners who admired the strong and recognized the "young master" as their eldest brother.

These prisoners were "accomplices" who covered the young master's escape.

With the clues clear, she contacted Linny, Linette, and Femini. Femini, who was good at diving, went to the pipeline connected to the sea to check.

All that remains is to wait.

Krevy tried again and again to heal the mother with "magic" and achieved some results.

Today is November 20th, Keqing’s birthday.

At night, Jiang Yi went to Liyue to celebrate Keqing's birthday and gave a gift to Ningguang.

Long ago, the executor of Solstice, Rich, transformed a suspended instrument capable of monitoring specific phenomena into a magical instrument called "Golden Flow Oversight" to monitor the "golden blood tide" and observe the gold flow in his experimental site, Melo Petersburg.

It records every change of money, every person's savings and squandering, every increase or decrease in value, and the number of times each currency circulates within a specified period.

Practice its philosophy.

People should be the masters of money, not its servants. Just as numbers and mathematics were born for calculating the amount of money, there are words to write IOUs and rules to frame the money that changes hands.

The only law is the private law of the hoarders, and the only sanction is poverty or death. Either the rentiers take power and dominate, or the dominated work themselves to death, the rules are always fair. Thus, people will stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods with their own ambitions and wealth, while those weak who lose everything in the competition will be swallowed up by the torrent of the world,

The gift Jiang Yi gave was a magical instrument similar to the "Gold Flow Supervisor".

Just like today's "rich people", they have long prepared "gold flow supervision" with more powerful computing power to monitor the flow of "wealth" on the jade slip network.

As Ningguang's collaborator, Jiang Yi is naturally a little biased. Give her a stronger one.

"He ultimately follows the law of the jungle. He has the courage to challenge God, but he lacks the compassion of a human being. People should not be servants of money, and the amount of wealth should not be a reason for the rich to trample on the poor." Keqing looked at the bright lights of Liyue Harbor and Guiliyuan from the Jade Pavilion. "Providing protection and security for the weak who have lost everything in the competition is the true meaning of wealth."

"But I agree that the heart of gold should also beat for the world of 'people'. No one can truly own money. After all, it is just flowing from one corner of the world to the end of time through the hands of 'people'."

In her ears she wore feathers carved from golden bee wings that fluttered in the breeze.

That was a birthday gift from Jiang Yi.

In the old legend of Fontaine, the dancing butterflies are the guides of souls and also symbolize the promises and vows that last until death.

Cassiodorus once gave this feather ornament to the singer Iria.

Jiang Yi copied it casually.

He stood between Keqing and Ningguang.

"The rich believe that his ideal will no longer have the power of God intervening to whitewash the power of the rich in front of the poor, and no longer have the wealth of God pouring in to save the dignity of the poor from under the feet of the rich." Ningguang smiled, "You did it on purpose..."

The news that Jiang Yi gave Liyue a money-related magical instrument will eventually get out.

I wonder what the rich people in winter would think.

"That depends on whether he thinks I'm a human or a god." Jiang Yi looked at the sky with a distant gaze, "Give him a chance to turn back from his wrong path..."

“Ningguang… prepare for an exercise…”

"After the exercise, I will... step into Sky Island."

"When I return from Fontaine, when Nata ignites the flames and the winter winds...I will pay a visit to the Ice Queen."

His white feather robe fluttered in the wind, and the gentle evening breeze caressed the lingering moonlight.

The stars in the sky occasionally overlap to form the starry sky of another universe. The spoon-shaped stars above Liyue begin to point to the sky.

Keqing and Ningguang looked towards the north.

War... doesn't seem to be able to describe the confrontation between man and nature, but the times are changing too fast, making them dazed.

Jiang Yi sensed the uneasiness of the two people: "Before entering the starry sky, I will give Teyvat some time to settle down..."

In fact, his body had already reached the end of time, and he and the sinner looked back at the time and space of Teyvat.

"You have to go back to Fontaine tomorrow. Tonight..." Keqing hesitated, "Let's go to my house... No, let's stay at your house for one night."

She thought of Shen He.

But there are people at home.

Otherwise, go to Yujing... not the Yujingtai in Liyue, but the Yujing City of Penglai created by Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment.

“Ahem!” Ningguang put her hand to her mouth and turned around with a look of surprise in her eyes. “Then I’ll take my leave first…”

She took two steps and suddenly realized that this was the Qun Yu Pavilion...it was not her who should leave.

Jiang Yi and Keqing rolled away smoothly and disappeared in the wind.

The Yuheng star tonight...the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and it is exceptionally bright.

"Ah!"

Ying looked at Krevie, who came to share a dormitory with her, and her nose itched so much that she sneezed three times.

Ah! It's another day when Jiang Yi doesn't come home at night.

"Here, here, here... we can turn the red light into green... turn on the mechanism to facilitate Femini's actions every night." Military advisor Paimon was giving advice.

"And I heard that a pair of prisoners decided to get married."

"…" What does it have to do with me! Ying climbed onto the bed, feeling that something was wrong with Jiang Yi's departure tonight. Yandora was not there, and Krewei had fallen out of favor, so where did Jiang Yi go?

Just add some points to dual cultivation.

……

"A-choo!" Yandora also touched her nose in Haimo Village.

Haimo Village, the hometown of Haimo, is located in the lush Cangjing Mountains, under the Erinace Ridge, and inside the giant beast Erinace.

The strangely shaped small houses scattered everywhere are very impressive.

There are many strange places near this warm home of the Meilushins.

Underwater there is the "remnant music of the ancient snails of Lemuria".

Deep in the rock where the flesh and blood of a giant beast condensed, there were caves with strange names such as "a very bright place", "a lonely place", and "a very warm place" mentioned by Milushin.

"Fate is amazing..." said Carter Pila, "Not only did we find the mechanical dog of the Narcissus Cross Society, we also met Jacob Ingold, a member of the Narcissus Cross Society who is still active."

"He is the one who admires Rene the most and the one who is most determined to implement Rene's plan..."

Arriving at Haimo Village, Yandora quickly found a special Melusin who was accompanied by a mechanical dog.

That Meilushin likes painting.

Some humans broke into Haimo Village to buy Meilushin's paintings and paints. Yandora saw at a glance that these people had bad intentions. After a little investigation, she found the mastermind behind the scenes, "Jacob".

"The pigment is a mineral condensed from the blood of Erinace, which contains a powerful and ominous power. It is just like the gem named 'Deep Red Stone' that René once investigated in Mond Snow Mountain. The ingredients in it have the effect of generating heat and enhancing explosive power, but because of the toxins in it, ordinary humans cannot withstand it."

"Except..." Caterpillar opened his palm.

"My power... seems to have the same origin as this one. The new human like Jacob mentioned by Renee... has the same power within him, and can bear this ominous gift."

"Or maybe, according to legend, there is no one in this world who can eliminate the toxins in it."

"This kind of toxin... René also found similar filth in the large mine in Liyue..."

"The disappearance of pure water spirits can be traced back to the destruction of Fontaine's natural nectar by the empire built by Remus, the Lord of Artificial Nectar, and all the way to the pollution of the land and water by the giant beast Erinus five hundred years ago."

"The waters outside have been purified and diluted almost completely. But only turbid water elves are still born. Now that you have gone deep into the body of Erinace..."

"Do you feel unwell?"

He looked at Yandora.

If such a powerful pure water spirit was polluted, it would be hard to say whether it would cause any major damage. But considering the other party's identity... the angel of the God of Man... this pollution should not be a concern.

Otherwise, the God of Man would not have given him the task.

Carterpila put a jade slip in his pocket. Through it, he learned a lot of things overnight.

Pure water spirits are creatures that are very sensitive to the smell of water.

"It's like being in the darkest and most turbid ocean in the world..." Yandora's blue eyes were as calm as a well, "But Jiang Yi said that I have achieved the 'pure mind'... If the mind does not regress, it will not be polluted."

"Oh!" Caterpila knew that the other party was not a vase elf who only knew how to show courtesy to the God of Man.

Yandora frowned.

Is this little black hand in front of her saying something bad about her?

"I have sensed the 'will' of Erinus..." Yandora said, "Jacob ran away, but he is not my target. I plan to complete the task given by Jiang Yi first."

Caterpillar could also feel the powerful will that existed everywhere around him.

Of course, this was something the Narcissus Cross Society had discovered when they were investigating Erinace.

Back then, the interior looked slightly different than it does today.

The flesh and blood in the other person's body, which showed no signs of decay, had just begun to harden and form a kind of protective film. Now, what he saw in front of him were basically purple, brown, and red rock layers and gray-purple crystals, not flesh and blood.

The flowing water...is also clear on the surface.

When you touch the rock wall, you can feel the protective film, which exists in the rock layer by layer like an onion.

This should be a kind of self-defense and protection behavior of internal organs, just like the research of the Narcissus Cross Society.

"However, the place where the other party's will can be brought down... seems to be more secret." Yandora could occasionally hear the whispers of Erinath.

"Melushin, especially the painter who calls Erinas father, we can go and ask her. First, continue to help her find the 'pigment'..." Caterpillar stated the plan.

The two of them chased after Jacob, and this member of the Narcissus Cross Society ran around in a panic and had already lost Melusin and the mechanical dog.

Some parts of the mechanical dog Seymour have been worn out and need to be replaced. If they are not replaced, it will become a "dead dog".

When fate does not allow people to reach the end directly, the process of completing the task is always cumbersome.

In the process of collecting pigments, you will meet the "cute dog" in Meilushin's eyes - the Beast Hound.

Tracing back to the origin of the name, the four words "Beastland Hounds" also come from the Fontainebleau Cross Society. Rene called the place full of such monsters connected by the "channel" "Beastland", so he named these hounds "Beastland Hounds".

Far in the past, Kanrea had called these dark wolves something other than this.
