The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

Has the Abyss Cult become active again...?Qin frowned when she saw the first message, and her eyes were much sharper than before.

You must know that although the Tevalin incident was influenced by Dulin's poisonous blood remaining in Tevalin's body, what detonated the bomb was the curse from the abyss mages of the Abyss Order.At the beginning, it was a conflict between the people and a diplomatic problem. It took a lot of effort for my team to resolve the whole thing.

What conspiracy is the Abyss Cult planning this time?Qin, who read the report word for word, was confused when he saw that the Abyss Order seemed to be attacking the colossus in the ruins. What was the Abyss Order doing with these things?

That's all... Anyway, due to the actions of the Abyss Order, the number of people in each group of the patrol team Zephyr Knights needs to be expanded to ensure everyone's safety. However, in this way, the frequency of patrols will be relatively reduced. If it is a large group It would be nice to have more people on hand when I'm away...

After dealing with the first important matter, Qin turned her attention to the second piece of news and was stunned.

A large number of trees in Mondstadt have been cut down artificially, and the preliminary estimate is that the number has exceeded [-]! ?Seeing the message signed by Detective Knight Amber, Qin quickly looked at Amber's detailed report in the second half.

This... is really too much!The pictures of trees being cut down one after another made Qin clenched her fists.

You must know that the beautiful scenery of Mondstadt is inseparable from the giant trees with lush branches. Under normal circumstances, the old trees are cut down every year to leave enough growing space and lighting for the new trees, but these All are planned in detail.Every felling must be reported to the Knights of the West Wind.

It's a big deal to have hundreds of trees secretly cut down at one time like this!Moreover, judging from the photos recorded by Amber, there must be a magician in this crime gang.

It stands to reason that logs of such a large size will inevitably leave obvious traces on the grass when being moved, but among the photos sent back by Amber, no matter which one they are, the ground is too natural, and there are no traces left by the transportation at all. .

This case is no small matter...

"Help me find the cavalry captain Kaia." After giving instructions to the West Wind Knight standing guard at the door, Qin's brain was racing and she was already preparing for the worst.There must be a lot of criminal gangs who can cut down and move the goods in one afternoon without anyone noticing. They must be very busy these days.

A few minutes later, a steady and very regular knock on the door brought Qin out of her thoughts.

"Acting Captain, what do you want from me?" Perhaps because of the presence of his subordinates, Kaiya's attitude seemed much more formal at this moment compared to his nondescript image in the past.Kaiya, who took the report from Qin and read it carefully, also widened his eyes.

"No way...hundreds of trees were cut down and no one noticed?" Kaiya, who raised his hand and scratched his head, began to recall it carefully.

This is not a small amount. The team members who patrolled along the road yesterday did not bring back any reports about the transportation of logs. When I went to Angel's Gift recently, I did not hear that there were a large number of buildings under construction.There is no transportation route and no destination. Where were these trees transported?

What's even more troublesome is that even with my current intelligence network, I haven't been able to detect this information.

There are too many official duties that Qin needs to handle, and it is not appropriate to add more burdens to her.Yora is almost not popular in Mondstadt because of her surname. She is more suitable for handling some combat-type tasks than investigation.Right now, the most suitable person to handle this matter is himself, and only himself.

"I will investigate this matter carefully..." Kaia, who took over the relevant intelligence investigation, felt a headache.

"Well, then please."

Qin, who entrusted the task to her, felt a little confused when she saw that Kaia did not leave immediately. "Kaia, do you have anything to report here?" Qin tried to ask this capable subordinate and found that the other party nodded.

"That's right. Recently, I asked Captain Qin to pay more attention to Keli's movements... Xia Yu is back."

"Xia Yu is back? That's a good thing." Qin couldn't react for a while after hearing Kaiya's words. "Keli, doesn't she like to go to Xia Yu's place to play? With Albedo and Noelle in charge, plus Xia Yu, Keli shouldn't be able to cause any trouble..." Qin stopped talking in general.

Seemingly understanding the meaning of Kaia's words, Qin took a deep breath to adjust her mentality and asked cautiously: "Kaia, did Xia Yu bring anything back to Mondstadt this time?"

"There are two people from Liyue and an astrologer from Fontaine, one man and two women. According to them, they are two brothers and sisters from Liyue. A black-haired man named Kunjun, about 20 to 30 years old She is Xia Yu's business partner. As for the astrologer...it seems that she was tricked by her master, so she dare not return to China for the time being and is currently working in Xia Yu's small shop."

Are there three more people all of a sudden?But these are quite normal. After all, the situation in Liyue Port is different from Mondstadt. It is not surprising that Liyue Port itself is a port and trading city with people from all over the world.but...

"It should be more than that, otherwise Kaiya, you don't have to report to me specifically. Just tell me, what can make me pay more attention to Keli." Qin asked Kaiya and looked at the other party and sighed. He took a breath and looked at himself with a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

"Xia Yu has brought back an intact ruin hunter that he can control..."

......

What? ! !

The frightened Qin suddenly stood up from his seat. After checking Kaia's expression again and again and finding that the other party was not joking, Qin couldn't sit still anymore and ran out of the group leader's office like flying.

What is Keli most interested in?It's all kinds of bombs.How are ruin hunters better than ruin guards?Their strength lies in their flexibility and ability to take off. Moreover, the fire suppression of the ruin hunters after taking off is not a bit stronger than that of the ruin guards.

Continuous suppression of bombs, as well as small steel bullets that were scattered rapidly. If the average members of the West Wind Knights, with the help of archers, could complete the evacuation by dealing with the ruins guards, they encountered the ruins. Hunters will only have the tragic fate of being massacred.

A single Keli can add several more things that need to be dealt with every week. If coupled with a big killer like the Relic Hunter, it can perfectly solve the problem of Keli's feeling heavy and mobility after wearing a small bomb backpack. , wouldn’t the entire Mondstadt be lifted to the sky by this little guy?

In short, we must catch up!

————————————————————————

"Brother Xia Yu, Keli is leaving now~"

In the small courtyard in the early morning, Keli, who had boarded the Relic Hunter, looked eager to try. Looking at the Relic Hunter that was gradually rising into the sky, Keli was sitting on the newly installed small leather chair on the shoulders of the Relic Hunter. A smile bloomed on his face.

After Abedo came back yesterday afternoon, the modification work of the Relic Hunter was put into the process immediately.Among them, the most critical issue is the safety of ruin hunters.

All internal procedures have been screened and there will be no flaws.So, how to get on this big guy and ensure safety? After discussing with Albedo, a leather chair with a safety belt was installed on the wider head and shoulders of the ruin hunter. .

And the No. 1 person who tried to experience the ride was Keli, who had been coveting the ruins hunter for a long time, but did not dare to bring it up yesterday because of the Mona incident.

"Wow! It's really flying~!" The little guy's cheerful laughter spread throughout the sky above the Cider Lake.

"Well, it looks like the effect of the trial is pretty good." Looking at the effect of his transformation with a little effort, Albedo, with his hands on his waist, did not have too many expressions on his face, but the luster in his eyes was revealed. The joy in his heart. "But if you think about it, just adding a seat that can carry people while considering the balance is not difficult in terms of modification."

Compared with Abedo, little Dulin stood on the ground and looked at the ruin hunters flying into the sky. After observing for a while, the little guy who came to Xia Yu gently pulled the corner of Xia Yu's clothes. After watching Xia Yu's eyes turn to him, Xiao Dulin said: "Brother Xia Yu, why is Sister Keli so happy to be able to fly into the sky?"

The big flashing eyes were full of doubts. The little guy raised his head to look at Xia Yu. The cute and adorable look made Xia Yu couldn't help but smile. He gently touched the little guy's head. , Xia Yu replied: "Because being able to fly into the sky has always been a dream of mankind. For example, the Wings of Wind, isn't this the product of this dream?"

"Although the Wings of Wind can't really fly yet, being able to glide freely in the sky is already a considerable improvement. If there's anything special about it, little Dulin, do you remember Keli's daily routine? Do you like to do something?"

"Hmm..." After listening to Xia Yu's question, the little guy held up the corner of his mouth with one finger, as if he wanted to try something. Little Dulin, who had a pair of small black dragon wings growing out of his back, flapped his little wings and flew off the ground.

"It doesn't seem like this..." The little guy who scratched his head stopped and landed on the ground. After thinking for a while, little Dulin followed Xia Yu's thoughts and finally thought about the answer and replied: "Throw a bomb." Frying fish, burying some items that were said to be her treasures, and just exploring..."

"I understand!" Little Dulin, who seemed to have thought of the key point of the matter, immediately answered with bright eyes: "If you can fly, it will be much easier to do the above things! For example, go to the Fruit Wine Lake to bomb Fish, as long as she sits on this big robot, Keli can throw bombs at will regardless of the depth of the lake!"

"Whatever you want to do?" A slightly serious female voice came from the direction of the door, startling little Dulin.Looking in the direction of the sound, Qin Yin, who was slightly out of breath, came into Xia Yu's field of vision.

Her breathing was a little short, her face was slightly red, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that Qin, who had arrived at her home from nowhere, seemed to be in an emergency.

"Captain Qin, is there anything important?" Because Qin left Xia Yu with an image of being strict and conscientious, Xia Yu immediately linked Qin's arrival to the official affairs of the Knights. "How about... Captain Qin, please wipe your sweat first and then talk?"

"It's okay, I just sped up from the Knights and ran here." Qin replied to Xia Yu, looking back and forth in the small courtyard, but found no trace of the relic hunter. "Mr. Xia Yu, I heard Kaiya mentioned that you picked up a Relic Hunter while traveling in Liyue. I wonder where this Relic Hunter is now?" Qin asked Xia Yu and kept praying in her heart, fearing that she would guess. The worst case scenario happens.

"Oh~ you mean the ruin hunter." Xia Yu, who roughly guessed Qin's purpose, nodded immediately.

"There is indeed a Relic Hunter, but now I have taken Keli to the sky to experience the feeling of flying, right over the Cider Lake." Xia Yu pointed to the sky after explaining.

Looking at Qin's blank expression, Xia Yu quickly added: "Captain Qin, don't worry, Abedo and I have carefully considered and designed the safety issues. As long as we are still in the sky, unless there is an emergency, In this situation, Keli can’t open the seat belt that’s fastened to her body. So there’s no need to worry that Keli will be in danger.”

No... I'm worried about the fish in the Cider Lake and the future safety of Mondstadt!

114 The octopus moved all night long after watching it... Cider Lake is an inland lake!

Wow!I didn’t expect that the scenery from the sky to the ground would be so great!

Kelly, who was riding on the Ruin Hunter, leaned on the armrest of the seat and turned her head to look at the fruit wine lake below. Under the early morning sun, the fruit wine lake shone with golden light like a real mellow wine. For the first time, she looked at the fruit wine lake like this. Keli, who was observing the Cider Lake from such an angle, forgot to take out the bomb prepared in her small backpack for a moment.

Is this what it feels like to fly in the sky?Keli, who tried to look back at the small courtyard, found that she was tied up and pulled the seat belt around her waist and abdomen with some distress, but it did not have any effect.

Hmm... Brother Abedo and Brother Xia Yu had always warned them not to open this wide rope before the end of the journey before setting off, saying that they were considering safety issues.

It seems like this is really the case!It would be dangerous to fall from such a high place... Keli, who sat upright again, looked at the lake below again. When she found a school of fish leaping out of the lake, Keli, who was fascinated by the scenery, finally thought of herself. What I want to do most after taking off this time.

yes!Didn’t I come to such a high place just because I wanted to have more convenient fried fish?

It is much easier to drop a bomb from a high altitude than to throw it forward on the ground. The fish in the middle of the lake can also blow them up more easily. I quickly took off the small backpack from my back. After carrying it on her back instead, Kelly reached out and picked up the bomb and discovered a troublesome thing.

Why fry your own fish?Because the fish produced in Cider Lake are particularly delicious, but... if you drop the bomb from such a high position, how will you catch them?The moving ruins hunter still kept moving forward at a constant speed, but Keli was stunned when she realized that she seemed to have fallen into a trap.

Oops!If you fell into the trap of Brother Abedo and Brother Xia Yu, wouldn't this be equivalent to changing your direction and banning yourself from throwing bombs and frying fish?Exploding fish is not like cleaning up the Qiuqiu people's stronghold or the treasure thief group's den, where you can just throw the bomb and run away. You need to take the fish back...

Ugh... The little guy who felt a little disappointed reluctantly put the small backpack back on his back. Looking at the schools of fish that were constantly jumping in the lake, Keli puffed up her fleshy breasts with some anger. Small face.

So angry!At this time, looking at these fish, it seems as if they are laughing at themselves for being unable to do anything with them!Keli, who wanted to take out the bomb several times, finally endured it.

Could it be that there is no other way?Keli, who was a little angry, patted the relic hunter who was still flying at a constant speed, and then complained: "Big guy, why can't we catch fish."

"Instruction detected, permission analysis..." The sudden sound startled Keli, and she stopped moving forward. The ruin hunter floating in the air turned his head and used the slightly permeating orange color. Keli's core was scanned, and the completely unexpected change made the little guy so nervous that he didn't even dare to take a breath.

"Identification completed, the authorized person, Keli, has sufficient permission for fishing mode. Please hold on to the handrails and sit firmly. AX-861 will start to execute fishing mode in [-] minute."

Eh?Eh! ? ?Although she didn't know what was going on, the mechanical voice of the ruin hunter still made Keli understand one thing - she can catch fish right away!

What do you need to do yourself?Can the waterproof bomb come in handy?Although there were all kinds of things he wanted to do, considering that he still didn't know what was going to happen next, the little guy obediently followed the ruin hunter's instructions and sat upright and firmly grasped the handrails on both sides.

Is this okay?Just when Kelly thought the preparations were complete, the warning mechanical sound sounded again.

"Warning, it has been detected that something is worn on the back. It is recommended to place the backpack in front of you and lean against the back of the chair."

What?Can't you even carry a backpack on your back?What exactly will happen later?The warning sound made Keli quickly follow the instructions and put the small backpack in front of her again. After finding that the ruin hunter's head turned back again, Keli began to look forward to what was going to happen next.

"The detection is completed, and the fishing mode is about to be started." As the relic hunter's voice ended, another seat belt was tied diagonally around Keli's body, firmly fixing Keli with the small backpack and seat. , in Keli's expectation, the original wide palm of the ruin hunter with all four mechanical arms unfolded was folded and retracted into the arm, replaced by four fine iron spears about two meters long.

The orange core of the head turned into bright blood red, and all the element thrusters on the back were turned on. Listening to the rumbling sound coming from behind, Keli, who felt that something big was about to happen, stared intently at the fish below.

boom!With a loud noise, the jet-started Ruin Hunter rushed straight towards the fish diagonally below. The sudden burst of high speed made even the well-prepared Keli press against the back of the seat behind her. The natural fall was many times faster, accompanied by a severe sense of weightlessness. In just two blinks, the control device at the bottom of the ruin hunter, which was still high in the sky, was already attached to the lake.

"Wow!!!"

Swishing, swishing, swishing, without giving the fish a chance to react, the four spears thrust into the lake completed their tasks accurately.The relic hunter, who was pulling up quickly close to the lake surface, climbed up to the sky again before the water in the lake was squeezed away by the air pressure and returned to fill it.

"Alas!!!"

Another big loop in the air, pulling out a beautiful arc, the relic hunter turned back and locked the fleeing bass in the lake. The relic hunter, gliding close to the lake surface, once again stabbed the spear on his arm, Four more bass turned into a glorious achievement for the relic hunter on the gun.

"The fishing mode experience is over. In order to ensure the freshness of the fish, AX-86 hereby recommends returning." The mechanical sound sounded again and pulled the shocked Keli back.

Just...what happened?Keli, who was tied to the bench, had a dull expression on her face, then raised her head and looked at the eight black-backed bass on the relic hunter's spear.

At first, he felt as if he had lost weight, all the energy and blood in his body were rushing upwards, and the scenery in his eyes was about to be torn out of the afterimage, and then he seemed to be pressed on the chair and spun around in a big circle, and when he came back to his senses, By the time I reached the top of the spear, there were already eight more blackback basses on the spear, and the whole process seemed to have taken less than ten seconds...

This feeling is really... so exciting!Although she really wanted to experience the feeling just now, Keli, who knows that fish must be fresh when it is fresh, finally gave up this tempting idea.

Let’s go back and eat fish~ Well, after eating, we must experience the feeling of sprinting in the sky a few more times. Keli’s chubby little face burst into laughter.

It was so much fun!

————————————————————————

"Mr. Xia Yu, you mean...Keli's play area this time is limited to the Fruit Wine Lake area, and she will not throw bombs into the Fruit Wine Lake, is that right?" Confirmed to Xia Yu again and again Qin felt a little incredible.

Who is riding the Ruin Hunter?That's the little devil Keli who inherited Alice's bomb-making talent. With such a unique opportunity, Keli will give up throwing bombs?How can this be?

This is as ridiculous as saying that after Jean Kaia finished her work and received the angel's gift, she did not order wine and instead chose juice.

"Don't worry, the main reason why Keli fried the fish was because she was greedy and wanted to eat grilled fish. She was riding on the Ruin Hunter that was always in flight. She had no chance to pick up the fried fish, so naturally she wouldn't You'll want to throw bombs into the water." Xia Yu, who knew exactly why Keli was frying fish, gave an answer that made Qin sigh in relief.

Indeed, every time when Keli was put in the solitary room for a lecture, the reason Keli gave for frying the fish was because she was greedy. If there was no chance to pick up the fish, this would really stop the little guy from throwing the bomb into the fruit wine. In the lake.

After all, the Cider Lake is one of the most important sources of drinking water in Mondstadt. It would be better to have as few strange things in the lake as possible... Considering that Qin here looked at Xia Yu who was pounding the spices with a stone, he felt... Curious.

"Mr. Xia Yu, what are you preparing now...?"

"Oh, this, I'll use it to make fish seasoning later. I wanted to make something with a special flavor, so I chose lemon juice, small light grass with a delicate fragrance, and fresh Jueyun pepper. In this case You can get a refreshing spicy and sour sauce.”

"Huh?" The answer Xia Yu gave made Qin a little confused. Qin frowned slightly and asked: "Mr. Xia Yu, didn't you say that Keli can't fry fish? Why..."

"Just because Keli can't fry fish doesn't mean that ruin hunters can't use it to catch fish." The little girl's laughter from high in the sky made Xia Yu raise his head while explaining, and signaled Qin to also raise his head and look at the sky. Keli, who was returning from the Ruin Hunter, jumped off the seat and put her hand directly on Xia Yu's back.

"Brother Xia Yu, it's so fun!" Kelile blossomed with excitement on her face. After rubbing Xia Yu's face affectionately, the little guy who jumped off Xia Yu noticed that he was standing aside. The piano.However, Qin, who was focusing all her attention on the eight fish on the spear of the ruin hunter, seemed to have no time to think about issues related to Keli.

Eh! ?Why is Captain Qin here?Shouldn't Captain Qin be processing documents in the captain's office at this time?The usual situation of being chased by Qin made Keli shrink her neck subconsciously. Just as the little guy put his feet up and prepared to escape quietly, another question appeared in Keli's brain.

wrong!Usually, he was arrested by Captain Qin and taken to the solitary room because he was frying fish or getting into trouble.Today, since I didn't throw a bomb into the Cider Lake, and I didn't cause any trouble, what reason could Captain Qin have to arrest her?He must have come to the courtyard because he had something to confirm with brother Xia Yu.

The more she thought about it, Keli's courage gradually began to grow. She jogged to Qin Shen, who was looking at her, with a sunny smile on Keli's face.

"Captain Qin, why did you come to see Brother Xia Yu?" Keli, who no longer had any worries, sounded confident and confident. The little guy who looked directly into Qin's eyes had a vague sense of arrogance.

"Well, there are indeed some things that I need to explain to Xia Yu, and the most critical one is your safety, Keli." After talking to Keli, Qin came to the ruins hunter and began to observe this big guy carefully. .I have fought battles with ruin hunters before, but this is the first time I have looked at them so carefully.

From the naked eye, the difference between Xia Yu's Relic Hunter and other relic hunters is that there is an extra seat at the shoulder. The relic hunter has the ability to change weapons, so the spears on its four arms are There's nothing unusual about it...

wrong!I obviously still have so much work to complete!Now that it has been confirmed that nothing happened to Keli and there was no accident, he has to go back and continue working immediately!Having made up her mind, Qin said to Xia Yu: "Now that Keli's safety has been confirmed, I will continue working."

"Don't you wait until you finish tasting the fish before leaving?" Xia Yu, who was trying to persuade Qin to stay for breakfast before leaving, looked at the other party and shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xia Yu. Because the work is really heavy, I can't waste even a minute." In Xia Yu's slightly regretful eyes, Qin walked in through the side door after saying goodbye to his friends. Mondstadt.

After watching Qin leave, Xia Yu focused all his attention on these eight black-backed bass.

Eight plump black back bass and prepared seasonings are the key to trying to make aquatic fish. These eight fish seem to be a lot, but if you count them carefully, even if you use all eight fish, No one can get even one piece.

Now there are more people living in the small courtyard, including myself, Noelle, Mona, Abedo, Ruotuo Dragon King who has transformed into Kunjun and Ajiu, and Keli who often comes to play. Ying, Paimon and Kaia came to visit whenever they had the chance. The number of people who often came and went in this small courtyard was close to ten.

The cooking method of fish over water is originally adapted from Jianghu cuisine. The original method of steaming and then pouring the sauce is changed to slowly blanching in water. Since the temperature of water is obviously easier to control than water vapor, Therefore, the taste of well-cooked fish will be more tender and smooth than steamed fish.

Of course, since it is processed in a similar way to boiling fish, the umami flavor of the fish is slightly lighter than that of steaming.That’s why seasoning is needed to supplement it.

Because there are only seven words that Jianghu cuisine pays attention to: it must be unique and delicious.Therefore, in terms of production creativity, Xia Yu chose a method similar to laboratory control variables to distinguish each link of cooking.

After cleaning the fish, Xia Yu looked at the black-backed seabass that he had soaked in the sauce and the traditional onion and ginger water to remove the fishy smell. Xia Yu had a look of eagerness on his face.

Next, just wait a short while for the fish to soak in and you're ready to start cooking.
