Jinwu and Haitif on the side looked at the two people's antics as if no one was watching, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it's great to be young.
"Okay, let's stop arguing with you and get down to business."
Jiang Bai, who was full of wine and food, took out the strange cube.
"Do you know what this thing is?"
"Huh?" Looking at this extremely uncomfortable thing, Xumi scholar Khadiv subconsciously stroked his beard.
"show me."
Khedive took the cube handed over by Jiang Bai and looked at it carefully, "If what I expected is correct, this is the mechanism that unlocks the door lock in the depths that Zhiqiong said."
Everyone's eyes were turned to him.
Khedive continued: "I have also studied similar structures, and it happens that the one in your hands is exactly the same as the one in my laboratory.
"Unfortunately, neither alchemy nor basic mechanics can explain the energy contained in it and the principles relied on to unlock the locking mechanism."
Jiang Bai looked at the scholar with some surprise, "Mr. Khedive still knows about alchemy?"
"Yes, aren't you a paleontologist?" Sora also looked at him in surprise.
This little-known scholar was much more knowledgeable than they imagined.
"The life scholars of Amirido Academy do not welcome people who work behind closed doors. On many projects, we still have to cooperate with those stupid heads in Nippontama. The more we cooperate, the more we will understand."
"Doesn't the Teaching Academy have that kind of all-round talent?" Jiang Bai asked curiously.
"A person's energy is limited, and the knowledge of any school is as vast as the sea. It is remarkable that a person can achieve something in a certain subject throughout his life. As for the all-rounder you mentioned, there may be Yeah, but I haven’t seen it yet.”
"What about your god? Isn't he the god of wisdom?"
"God." After hearing this, Khedive subconsciously thought of the Great Merciful Tree King. If it was the Great Merciful Tree King, he would naturally be an all-rounder who knew all wisdom.
As for the current Grass God, the world seems to have no knowledge of him, even him, a senior scholar of the Imperial Academy.
It is as if this new god exists in name only, as if it does not exist.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Jiang Bai tilted his head and looked at him.
Khedive shook his head, "I have never met the Little Lucky Grass King, but judging from the attitude of the Holy Order towards Him, she may not be qualified to be named [Wisdom]."
"Attitude? What kind of attitude? It's rare to hear anything about the Little Lucky Grass King Xumi." Paimon asked in confusion.
Their next stop may be to go to Xumi to meet the Grass God. It is necessary to know some information in advance.
"It's hard to tell, and it's not appropriate to tell outsiders like you about the internal affairs of the Holy Order." Khadiv didn't want to expose his family scandal.
Even though their new god is too young and not sufficiently [intelligent], the Ecclesiastical Council's ignorance and blockade of him really puts him, a Sumeru citizen, to shame.
Even he himself didn't even remember that they still had this god.
Seeing Khedive's appearance, Jiang Bai and Kong looked at each other with an indescribable feeling.
Of the several countries I have been to so far, Mondstadt is pretty normal.
Although the Wind God was asleep on the surface, he still paid attention to Mond.
It's a little outrageous that the old man planned his own funeral, but at least he had been working hard before, and Liyue also proved that she didn't need him to worry about.
As for Rice Wife, it’s just like the gods are autistic and the puppets rule the country.
It's hard to imagine what Xumi would be like again.
Khedive drew the attention of several people back, "Let's get back to the topic, if we can find the door Zhiqiong mentioned, this strange device should be able to open it."
"Then I have to keep it well."
Jiang Bai put the key into the Sanqing Bell so that he would not find it.
"Speaking of which, what do Mr. Khaedive think of this inverted ruins and the space where a large amount of black mud gathers?"
Jiang Bai took out the photo taken there. Although the photo was dim, he could barely see the content inside.
Khedive took the photo and looked at it, then shook his head, "It's hard to say."
"According to my investigation, the changes in the Great Abyss are essentially similar to the changes in Longji Snow Mountain. Their sources do not belong to the world we are familiar with. They are two forces fighting. Why is there so much black mud gathered here? I'm afraid We need to conduct on-the-spot investigation to find out.”
"But on-the-spot investigation is difficult. For those of us who do not have the eyes of God and cannot control the power of elements, the black filth itself will affect our bodies, and the changes will be harmful or even fatal.
"People who are close to the source of the mutation will either slowly lose their understanding of the normal world, or they will weaken rapidly, causing mutation and death from pollution."
Although Khedive is a scholar, he cannot go to those places where black mud gathers to investigate, and those who can go may not be able to see anything, so it is very difficult to solve.
"In other words, even carrying fragments of the Sky Nail is useless, because what affects the human body is not a single energy, but the mutation caused by the struggle between two forces."
Jiang Bai was suddenly worried about Qi Zhiqiong. This situation was almost unsolvable for ordinary people.
Alas, I hope she can fulfill her long-cherished wish.
"Have the changes in the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain stopped? We haven't heard of anyone being affected in the Snow Mountain." Paimon asked.
During their expedition in the snow-capped mountains, they had never heard of anyone being affected by any changes.
"The mutation in the snow mountain originated from the corpse of the demon dragon Dulin five hundred years ago. The mutation was not strong, and the two forces were not evenly matched. The mutation has long since subsided over the years. What was born there The deep red stone, like the lumen crystal, is the product of mutation."
Although I have never actually investigated the snowy mountains, the Teaching Council has preserved a lot of information about the snowy mountains.
These information are the results obtained after scholars sent by the Order Academy to conduct investigations when the change in the Snow Mountain first occurred.
"So, if you want to stop the mutation, you have to weaken the power of filth and increase the power of purification, right?" Paimon felt that he had grasped the key point.
"That's right." Khedive replied affirmatively.
"We have found a method so far. The Lumen Stone Catalyst can effectively purify the black mud. As long as we continue to purify it and weaken the power of the black mud, we don't need to worry about the rest."
The power of the Sky Nail Crystal is not weak. It is only because of the continuous pollution of the Abyss Cult that the power of the Sky Nail is now suppressed.
Therefore, as long as they continue to purify the black mud and pay attention to the movements of the Abyss Cult, the problem of the abyssal mutation will soon be solved.
"Then it's all on us!" Sora, who has a strong sense of responsibility, agreed.
