Chapter 106: What Ningguang can do, I can do too (12 a day, , asking for monthly tickets)
The people of Liyue would advise that Solitary Cloud Pavilion is more suitable for viewing from afar and not for setting foot in.
But outsiders usually don't listen to advice. According to legend, Guyun Pavilion was a forest of stele of the gods in ancient times, and the materials mined from it are unique.
In ancient times, Liyue's craftsmen would knock off the solidified rock flakes here and grind and forge weapons sharp enough to break through the demon's defenses.
That kind of weapon is extremely heavy, and only a very small number of warriors can use it. Those warriors followed the Emperor in his battles and were called the Thousand Rock Group by the Liyue people.
This is the predecessor of today's Qianyan Army.
Of course, with the baptism of time, the present-day Guoyun Pavilion no longer has those miraculous rock fragments.
But the danger of Guyun Pavilion is still as strong as usual.
After getting off the boat, Wang Hao and the other two finally arrived here.
As for why it is a small boat and not a big ship, it is because a big ship cannot dock on this kind of island, only a small boat can.
(Landing location)
"hiss."
As soon as he stepped into this place, Wang Hao was startled, as if he had sensed his prey, and his whole body became active.
However, his reaction did not attract the attention of Keqing and Xingqiu.
Because they are also not adapted,
"What an active rock element."
"Yes, it is an isolated island in the sea, but the rock elements here are incredibly active."
The two sighed,
At this time, Wang Hao had recovered and smiled: "Legend has it that Lonely Cloud Pavilion was formed by the rock spear cast by the Emperor during the Demon God War. The Emperor's divine power is retained, so it is normal for the rock element to be more active."
However, if you look closely, there is a hint of hunger hidden under Wang Hao's smile.
If the demonic power he had devoured at Wuwang Slope was a feast,
So, the food he sensed now was a mountain of delicious food.
Yes, in Wang Hao’s perception, Guyun Pavilion has quite a lot of demonic power.
"Well, there are traces left over from the Demon War. Adventurers in the past have found many things from the war period here." Keqing also took over the conversation and spoke.
Even though Keqing always questions the Emperor, in fact, she is also a fan of the Emperor.
It's just that she is more rational than other admirers.
Looking towards the peak in the center of the archipelago, Keqing's eyes were filled with shock: "The rock spears that were thrown down turned into the archipelago today. How tragic was the war back then?"
"I don't know how tragic it will be, but I know that if we continue standing here, we will definitely starve tonight." Wang Hao said directly.
"Haha, that's right, let's find a place to camp first." Xingqiu also reacted.
"Keqing, go see if there is anything to eat around here. Xingqiu, go find a place to camp. I'll pull the boat up first."
After Wang Hao assigned the work, he turned around and towed the boat behind him.
This boat was sponsored by Beidou, and we will have to use it to row back to the Southern Cross Fleet.
The other two also went off to look for their own.
Xingqiu and Keqing both have experience in surviving in the wild, so they do things in a very capable manner.
After Wang Hao dragged the boat ashore and set up cover, Xingqiu came back first.
"There's a pile of strange rocks ahead. I see they can block the sea breeze. We can tidy them up and rest for a night." Xingqiu pointed to the distance. Looking from a distance, there was indeed a pile of rocks.
When spending the night on an island, the most important thing is to avoid the sea breeze. Most people can’t stand it blowing all night long.
Wang Hao nodded: "Okay, we'll just stay for one night, and we'll go deeper tomorrow."
After a while
Keqing is back too.
Holding a few... grilled fish?
【Hahahaha, Keqing's classic grilled fish.】
[Desperate Survival Grilled Fish: Restores 16% of the selected character's maximum health and an additional 1350 health points.]
[Keqing's exclusive dish. 】
[Wow, you can really use the lightning element to grill fish. ]
【…】
The comments were very happy, and Wang Hao and Xingqiu looked at Keqing in surprise.
Keqing blushed slightly: "I looked around and there was nothing to eat, so I electrocuted some small fish. Don't think they look ugly, but they should taste good."
Keqing has also experienced the trial of the wilderness, and the hairpin on her head is her most practical tool.
As long as the lightning element is attached to it, the hairpin can be transformed into an extremely sharp knife. Cutting grass and chopping wood is not to mention, and rough work such as skinning and deboning prey is also a piece of cake.
If you encounter a terrain with a huge height difference, just nail the hairpin into the ground, tie it with rattan, and you can easily descend quickly.
When camping outdoors, placing the hairpin upside down and standing upright on the ground before going to sleep will serve as an extremely sensitive alarm device. As long as there is any unusual movement around her, it will immediately wake Keqing up.
Of course, the most important thing is that when she is hungry, Keqing only needs to throw a hairpin into the water, and a few unlucky fish will be electrocuted and knocked unconscious - there is no need to even prepare bamboo skewers for grilling the fish.
With this experience of electrofishing, Keqing made several optimizations and finally created her own dish - Grilled Fish in Desperate Situation.
Looking at Keqing's slightly red face, Wang Hao didn't say much. He reached out to take a grilled fish, put it to his mouth and took a bite.
The slightly charred fish skin wrapped around the crispy fish meat, with a hint of numbness from the lightning element, but the degree was just right. It was really fragrant. Wang Hao's eyes lit up and he gave Keqing a thumbs up: "Delicious."
Xingqiu thought Wang Hao was comforting Keqing, so he took a grilled fish and took a bite. His eyes lit up immediately: "It's delicious."
Seeing her two friends eating like crazy, Keqing couldn't help but smile.
It is also a happy thing to be recognized by others for your cooking skills.
The three of them quickly finished a few grilled fish.
Then he went to the shelter Xingqiu had found.
Several huge rocks were piled up to form a small cave with some dry grass inside, which seemed to have been left by previous generations.
"Let's rest here tonight, and we'll go deeper tomorrow."
Wang Hao was very satisfied with this place, at least it was much better than the open air.
"I'll guard the first half of the night, Xingqiu will guard the second half, Keqing, you take a rest, and we'll go get some fish tomorrow morning."
Xingqiu and Keqing both nodded and did not refuse.
Then the three of them dispersed again to find some dry firewood to make a fire.
At night, a bonfire is indispensable.
Although there are not many trees in Guyun Pavilion, there are many wooden planks washed up on the coast, which are perfect for making fire.
Time passed little by little, and when the bonfire was lit, night had already fallen.
The sky above the sea is exceptionally bright. It is said that in the early days, Liyue’s fleet relied on the starry sky to guide its direction in conducting ocean-going trade activities.
At that time, a crew member who could read the stars was very popular in Liyue.
The three of them sat around the campfire, feeling the moist sea breeze and the warmth of the campfire. They couldn't help but look up and enjoy the quiet starry sky.
"so beautiful."
"Yes, it's so beautiful."
The beautiful starry sky makes people sigh.
[It’s so beautiful. ]
[Without air pollution, the starry sky should be so beautiful. 】
[I remember when I was a kid, I could see such a beautiful starry sky in my hometown. ]
[In fact, it has begun to recover now. ]
[No matter how beautiful it is, it is fake. ]
[Fuck, don't spoil the fun at this time. ]
What is the false heaven?
【Go ask Lao Mi. 】
[Laomi is just a game developer. He knows nothing about Teyvat.]
[It’s not a good thing anyway. ]
[It’s hard to say. ]
【…】
The barrage of comments scrolled in Wang Hao's eyes, bringing in many new words.
False sky? Does it mean the sky is false?
Wang Hao did not ask about the barrage, because he knew that with his current strength, even if he knew something, he would not be able to solve it.
Rather than adding a trouble that cannot be solved, it is better not to ask in the first place.
If we meet again in the future, it’s not too late to ask.
So, Wang Hao ignored the comments and said in his heart, "Good night, everyone."
Then he reached out and lightly touched his forehead, closing the barrage.
Start to quietly enjoy the beauty of the starry sky.
It is his habit to turn off the barrage before going to bed.
Time passes little by little,
Xingqiu couldn't bear it anymore: "I'm going to rest now, Wang Hao, call me later in the night."
Then we entered the shelter, and soon we heard light snoring. It was normal to snore a little after a busy day.
Beside the campfire, only Wang Hao and Keqing were left.
"Wang Hao, thank you."
Suddenly, Keqing spoke.
Wang Hao was stunned: "What?"
“Thank you…” Keqing lowered her head, a hint of redness appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared. “Thank you for believing in my ideas.”
Wang Hao smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "What's there to thank me for? Your philosophy itself makes sense. If a person does not think about the future, he will worry about the present. Now that Liyue has no immediate worries, it is natural to think about the future."
Keqing raised her head, looking through the firelight at the young man on the other side, her eyes filled with tenderness: "Then are you willing to help me?"
"Huh?" Wang Hao didn't react. What do you mean by help you?
Seeing Wang Hao in a daze, Keqing suddenly felt discouraged. He was simply an idiot.
"Are you willing to help me build Liyue?" Keqing's tone changed slightly.
Wang Hao felt like he had missed something, but he hadn't thought it through. If he had known, he wouldn't have closed the barrage so early.
If the barrage is there, maybe you can give some hints.
After all, there are many talented people in the barrage.
"Of course I do. Aren't we doing something right now?"
Although he was thinking in his heart, Wang Hao did not stand there in a daze and answered quickly.
Keqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and then said: "Then come to my place after you go back."
Wang Hao frowned: "This... won't work. Sister Ningguang should have already arranged it for me."
"..."
Keqing glared at Wang Hao and said, "Can't you have a little opinion of your own?"
Wang Hao scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "This is the path I need to take. To develop Liyue, I must have a say. According to Sister Ningguang's arrangement, I can enter the decision-making circle as soon as possible."
After hearing what Wang Hao said, Keqing spoke directly, speaking a little quickly: "What Ningguang can do, I can do too. Just follow me..."
At this point, Keqing suddenly stopped talking.
She thought about it and realized that if she wanted to send someone to the decision-making level, she really couldn't do it alone.
It was Ningguang who first brought up the idea of Wang Hao writing the prayer, and she then agreed and supported it.
When it comes to paying attention to Wang Hao, she really seems to be no match for Ningguang.
Thinking of this, Keqing felt a little discouraged.
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to rest."
Having said that, Keqing stood up listlessly and returned to the shelter. Wang Hao was the only one left by the campfire.
At this moment, Wang Hao seemed to have just come to his senses.
Keqing just now seemed...something was wrong.
But Wang Hao quickly put this idea behind him and quietly watched the campfire.
The night is getting darker.
There was no sound in the shelter anymore. Xingqiu's snoring had even stopped, so he must have fallen asleep.
Keqing kept her eyes open, secretly cursing herself for being useless, and then she called Wang Hao a fool.
outside,
Wang Hao sat next to the campfire, with steam gradually spreading around him.
"Unseal, unseal, grant power, unseal..."
A strange voice appeared in his ears.
Wang Hao woke up instantly, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.
"who is it?"
Wang Hao shouted softly.
Inside the shelter,
Keqing's eyes flashed when she heard Wang Hao's voice. She swung her hairpin, the sword seal flickered, and she disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"what happened?"
Keqing's figure instantly appeared beside Wang Hao.
A strange color flashed in Wang Hao's eyes. This was the first time he saw Keqing using elemental power. "Just now, I seemed to hear someone talking."
Keqing frowned slightly: "Someone is talking?"
She heard nothing. They were not far apart. If Wang Hao heard it, she should have heard it too.
At this time, in the shelter, Xingqiu leaned out and asked: "What happened?"
Through the firelight, you can see the long sword in his hand.
He was sleeping soundly, and the lightning element surged around him, which must have woken him up directly. After waking up, it was normal for him to take out his weapon.
Wang Hao shook his head: "Maybe I am hallucinating, you guys should continue to rest."
"How about you go to sleep first and I'll keep watch?" Xingqiu glanced at Wang Hao and said with some concern.
Wang Hao waved his hand: "It's okay, you can rest, you can still sleep for a while, I will call you when the time comes."
Seeing that Wang Hao was really fine, Xingqiu returned to the shelter.
He and Wang Hao have known each other for a long time, so naturally he wouldn't be polite.
Keqing also looked around and indeed didn't find anything. She didn't talk to Wang Hao and went straight back to the shelter.
I'm still sulking about what happened before.
The campfire became quiet again.
And that voice never appeared again.
After midnight, Wang Hao waited for a while before waking up Xingqiu, and the two took over shifts.
He entered the shelter, lay down where Xingqiu had just slept, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Across from him, Keqing opened her eyes slightly, glanced at him, and then closed them again.
the next day,
Wang Hao's biological clock woke him up on time. When he opened his eyes, Keqing opposite him was gone.
Obviously, the other party got up earlier than him.
When in Liyue Harbor, Wang Hao would get up early to study before going to work.
As for Keqing, she is the real king of workload. It is common for her to get up early and work overtime.
Out of the shelter,
Sure enough, Keqing was already grilling fish next to the campfire.
"Wake up, come and try it, Keqing's cooking skills are really good." Xingqiu waved at Wang Hao, holding the grilled fish in his other hand.
Keqing seemed to have returned to her normal state, and said with a smile: "When I was catching fish, I found some sour fruits. Pour them on the grilled fish, and it tastes better. Let's try it."
As he said this, he handed a grilled fish to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao didn't answer: "Wait, I'll go rinse my mouth first."
As he spoke, he walked to the side and waved his hand, and wisps of water elements gathered.
This is probably the biggest advantage of the holder of the Water Element God's Eye.
After rinsing his mouth, Wang Hao walked back to the campfire, sat next to Keqing, and took the grilled fish.
Compared with yesterday's survival grilled fish, today's grilled fish lacks the crispy and numbing feeling, but the taste brought by the sour juice makes it taste better.
While eating, he gave Keqing a thumbs up: "Very good."
Keqing smiled smugly.
At this time, Wang Hao remembered the barrage, pointed at his forehead, and turned on the "camera".
【Good morning, Wang Hao. 】
【A new day, a new adventure. 】
【Eating grilled fish early in the morning is not healthy. 】
[Steamed buns, steamed buns, bread, porridge, rice noodles, fried dough sticks, mixed noodles...]
【What a loss! 】
【…】
As usual, the comments sent blessings for the new day.
Wang Hao didn't mind and was already eating the delicious grilled fish.
after breakfast,
The three of them extinguished the campfire and made sure there were no sparks before continuing on their journey.
Although fires are less likely to occur on islands, it is precisely because we are on islands that we are more afraid of fires.
After packing up their things, the three of them began to enter the depths of Guyun Pavilion.
The location where they landed on the island was close to the central area.
Huge mountains rise from the ground and tower over the sea.
"The name of Guyun Pavilion actually comes from this isolated peak."
Xingqiu looked at the lone peak which was gradually becoming clearer but still shrouded in clouds and mist, and could not help but speak.
Wang Hao also nodded: "The Emperor's divine power... is amazing."
The solitary mountain blocks the breeze from the blue sea, while the shadows of clouds and the mountain scenery are all clearly visible.
In the summer the doors of the pavilion are all open, and the sharp blades by the sea look like spears.
The solitary peak of Guyun Pavilion is the joint work of the emperor's divine power and the power of nature.
"It's so steep, no wonder they say the most beautiful scenery of Lonely Cloud Pavilion is to see it from a distance." Keqing also smiled, "Let's climb up."
When such a solitary peak appeared in front of her, she not only did not feel any difficulty, but was instead inspired to fight.
"From a distance it is a scene, from near it it is a danger, nothing more than that."
All three of them were holders of the Eye of God and practiced martial arts, so it was impossible for them to be stopped by a steep peak.
In fact, there is a road to the lonely peak of Guoyun Pavilion, but it is incomplete.
The adventurers who came here to adventure in the past opened up a road to the mountainside, but there is no road from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, and you need to climb it yourself.
The sunlight shines through the clouds and onto the cliffs of the mountain, seeming to add a layer of golden edge to the peak.
The three of them carefully grasped the protruding rocks on the rock wall and climbed up step by step.
The mountain wind howled, making their clothes rustle, but the three men's eyes were firm and they did not retreat at all.
At noon, after several hours of climbing, the three finally reached the top of the lonely peak.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Guyun Pavilion.
An inexplicable sense of heroism rose in my heart.
suddenly,
Wang Hao made a trumpet shape with his hands: “Ahhhhh~”
The loud sound echoed on the top of the mountain, startling Keqing and Xingqiu.
But the two of them soon brightened up, and stood with Wang Hao, making trumpet shapes with their hands: "Ahhh~"
