"Congratulations, lucky child." Lotia's voice sounded.
"Gu~"
Gudong waved its two small wings-like hands and made a cooing sound.
Jiang Bai was also very happy. This opportunity was so natural.
Once I saw what I wanted to become, I evolved naturally.
Jiang Bai bowed slightly towards the pure water elf, "Thank you very much, madam. My name is Jiang Bai, and this is Hutao. I don't know what to call it?"
"My name is Lotia, no need to thank me, this is its own effort."
Seeing Lotia's desire to talk, Jiang Bai happily chatted with her.
He was really curious about why Lotia came here, and he was even more curious about how the Water God died.
You must know that the pure water elves are the descendants of the water god of the previous generation, and they are actually exiled here!
So what exactly happened in Fontaine to make the gods’ relatives leave their homeland and flee here?
"You just said that you have been in exile, why? I heard that the pure water elves are dependents of the water god." Jiang Bai asked curiously.
Lotia took a deep look at him, and the special aura of Jiang Bai was not hidden from her eyes.
"These are not secrets, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
"Since the death of the old water god, the waters we live in have changed and are no longer suitable for us pure water elves to live in. I refused to become a dependent of the new water god, left Fontaine, and came here."
Jiang Bai did not ask why he refused.
None of the three countries he has visited so far have second-generation gods.
The second god is a completely different individual from the previous god.
If Mandrill were asked to be loyal to a new, second rock god, he would definitely not be willing to do so.
The position of the gods' dependents under the previous political situation became obviously awkward after the new gods took office.
Leaving might be a good choice.
"What's its name?" Lotia looked at Gudong.
"It's called Gudong. To be honest, I came here to bother you this time just because of it."
Jiang Bai told the reason for this.
"Gudong has always admired the pure water elf very much, and also wants to become an elegant, powerful, and beautiful pure water elf like you.
"My teacher told me that the shape of water is not fixed, and what it will become depends on what it wants to become. I brought it here, and I was lucky enough to meet you."
"It's lucky. It's just that the pure water elf is not a pure water elemental creature. It can't transform into a form exactly like mine. This is also a blessing for it."
"Why?"
"Pure water elves need pure water to survive, and once the water is contaminated, the end awaits us."
Lotia's voice was a little sad, but also plain as if she had already accepted the facts.
"Even this clean water will one day become corrupt."
But Gudong is different.
It is a purely elemental creature.
As long as the water element remains, it can survive.
Jiang Bai really didn't know about this.
The seemingly powerful gods' relatives actually have so many restrictions.
"Ms. Lotia, do you know how Gudong can evolve again? Where is the end point of evolution? What is the strongest form of elemental life? Can it use multiple elements at the same time?"
Jiang Bai's questions came one after another. It was rare to find someone who was professional in the water element and could communicate in a very friendly manner. Of course, he had to ask enough questions.
"The evolution of life is the catalysis of time, the accumulation of energy, experience, and growth."
Lotia's words were a bit mysterious, but Jiang Bai understood them.
It sounds the same as it is now. Experience more, accumulate more, see more, and walk more. When you accumulate enough energy, you will be able to evolve again like you are now.
Jiang Bai touched Gudong's head, which was still the same as before, like jelly.
"From now on, just go out and play by yourself when you have nothing to do. Just remember to go home at night."
Gudong can fly now and is no longer a slime. Even without his company, he will not be attacked randomly when he goes out.
Moreover, Gudong's strength cannot be underestimated, and ordinary people cannot defeat it.
The only thing lacking is the mind.
Easily deceived.
"Gu..."
Gudong was a little scared.
Since following Jiang Bai, he has not gone out by himself.
Suddenly letting it go out to play on its own, it was really at a loss.
"It's okay. I will give you a survival code when the time comes. As long as you strictly abide by it, there will be no danger."
"Goo!"
Gudong felt a little relieved.
Lotia then answered Jiang Bai's second question.
"I don't know the end point of evolution. I only know that the strongest form of elemental life is the elemental dragon. If he can evolve into an elemental dragon one day, maybe the whole of Teyvat will fall for it."
Evolving from a tiny slime to an elemental dragon is too grand and far-fetched.
But it does not prevent Jiang Bai from dreaming.
"Elemental dragon...is Tevalin considered an elemental dragon?" Jiang Bai murmured and gave the answer himself.
Tevalin was also born in the wind, and was in the form of a dragon. There is no problem in saying that he is an elemental dragon.
What about the rock element? Where is the elemental dragon of the rock element?
Is it Master?
"As for whether you can master multiple elemental powers, you have to ask yourself."
"Ask me?" Jiang Bai pointed to himself, a little confused.
"I am a pure water spirit. The river can be used as an extension of my consciousness. The sea is our final destination. We are pure water, and other forces are incompatible with us."
"But what about you? I feel multiple elements in you. You can use multiple elements, right?"
"That's right."
"So, you shouldn't ask me this kind of question."
Jiang Bai also felt that this problem was really embarrassing for her.
If you want Gudong to master multiple elements, you still have to rely on yourself.
"Ms. Lotia, are you alone here?"
"With water by my side, I am not alone."
Luo Diya's words made Jiang Bai stuck for a moment, but he didn't find a reason, but told the truth.
"I originally wanted to let Gudong accompany you. It has just evolved and doesn't know many things. It needs to be taught by an elder..."
Lotia was very fond of Jiang Bai's honesty.
As a pure water elf who has lived for thousands of years, how could she not hear the implication of Jiang Bai's words?
Sincerity is a good way to close the distance.
"Then let it stay with me for now. I do have a lot to teach it about water."
Today can be said to be the most talked-about day in Lotia’s more than 400 years.
Not only because of Jiang Bai's own specialness, but also because of Gudong's evolution.
This kind of evolution has been rare for hundreds of years, and she has only heard about it in rumors.
She looked at Gudong, who was very similar to herself, with loving eyes.
Since it evolved because of her, let her teach you.
