Chapter 42, Return to Xumi
"The benefactor of the highest heaven, the origin of spiritual energy, the creator of the world..."
The priests in the desert are dancing strange, twisted dances to perform priestly activities.
He is a priest who has awakened his psychic powers, and has received messages from the High Heaven (warp) many times in his sleep.
As a result, he developed a variety of miraculous psychic spells, ranging from healing to combat, and even awakened the ability of psychic precognition.
So he developed the power to summon the legendary Creator of the High Heavens.
That power is said to be capable of destroying heaven and earth.
A wisp of Fugate's instinctive thought came here, and then the appearance was revealed, the dark purple aura floated, the power of nothingness (Ix) exploded, the priest was swallowed by the power, and all traces of his existence were wiped out.
It is true that it can destroy the world, but that is for people like them. This power is not controllable.
Fugate himself, who was re-selecting a location to build the Fireplace House in Fontaine, scratched his head.
"Why do I feel that the riots of the void force have been so violent recently?"
Fortunately, the void is the outer appearance now, and Fugate can only feel the riot of the power of nothingness on the inside. Now the erosion suffered by Fugate has been greatly reduced.
"Hey~ kid, what's your name?" Fugate saw the freckled kid again and felt that he was quite destined to this freckled kid, so he asked directly.
"Colonel [Zhu], my... my name is Femini." The freckled kid scratched his head.
"It seems to be a somewhat familiar character." Before Fugate's previous life, the plot had just advanced to Fontaine.
There seems to be some plot about Femini, but there are too few.
So Fuquet was not very impressed with Fimini.
"You seem to have a talent for mechanics and like machines?"
"Yes...yes." Femini nodded.
"It's a good talent, keep it up. There are so many hardships in life, and you always have to enjoy yourself in time to ensure that your life is not empty." Fugate said.
"What are you doing again?" Arecino appeared behind Fugate.
"Give encouragement." Fugate said. "Are those guys settled?"
"Yes, most of them have been resettled, and the Hearth House has begun to operate again and accepts those orphans." Arlecino scratched his head. He used to focus on fighting, so Arlecino was not interested in these civilian jobs. Is not good at it at all.
In the continent of Teyvat, orphans are very common, like weeds on the roadside.
This is mainly because monsters are rampant on the continent of Teyvat. When adults go out on a business trip, they will accidentally die without any body parts, and then orphans will naturally appear.
Countries basically have complete response strategies to this.
But except for Liyue, who is not short of money, other countries' policies cannot be said to be implemented much, so more or less orphans from these countries will flow into the Hearth Home.
This is why the former [Servant], even though he has a bad reputation among the low-level fools and soldiers, there are still a steady stream of people being sent to [Hearth House].
After letting Femini leave, Arecino and Fugate started chatting.
Arecino was indeed under a lot of pressure, and he had to maintain his majesty as a father in front of other children, so he could only keep a straight face all day long.
Fortunately, there is Fugate, a guy who has complicated relationships with other high-level officials of the Fools.
"Speaking of it, your reputation seems not to be very good recently, why don't you take care of it?" Fugate looked at Arecino and asked.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all." Arecino dismissed it.
"Your reputation should be made by [rooster]." Fugate said.
"Why not [Doctor]?" Arecino asked curiously
"Because he had this time to do experiments long ago." Fugate said, "And he also has his own way of finding experimental subjects. The Hearth House is not Dotore's only channel."
When I was chatting with Xia Mian some time ago, I learned that the Fools had built a hospital in the Xumi Desert to treat magic scale disease free of charge.
Of course, it is said to be a treatment for magic scale disease, but in fact it is related to research on the human body and magic scale disease.
After all, Demon Scale is a very strange disease, and it is easy for [Doctor] to be curious about it.
Hearing that [Doctor] was responsible, Charmian went to investigate once, fought with him, and beat him up, but unfortunately he could not kill him, and then he ran away to an unknown place.
It is worth mentioning that [Doctor] also recognized Xia Mian's identity, and was quite shocked after seeing him.
In fact, although Charmian and Fugate do not have a cure for the magic scale disease, there are still ways to suppress it. Even as long as they are psykers who practice psionic power and understand the principle of purification, they can pass it. The nearly omnipotent power of psychic energy suppresses the demon scale disease.
However, because the exchanges between the desert and the rainforest have been decreasing in the past few hundred years, and because most of the psychics are desert people, there is something that most people with magic scale disease among the desert people know. On the contrary, in the rainforest Almost no one knows about it.
However, there are only a few psychics even in the desert, so many desert people actually go to see that hospital.
After all, the cost of asking psyker priests to take action is not something that ordinary desert families can afford.
And the hospital... is free. The lack of knowledge of the sand people doesn't know that the free one is the most expensive, because they don't care about money, they care about people.
Of course, psyker priests are not all expensive. When people in their own tribe are suffering from magic scale disease, they basically treat them for free.
After all, psionic energy can be regenerated, and after receiving psionic energy treatment, it is very easy to spread the faith to high heaven.
Well~ Because the faith of Ahmar is still the mainstream among the sand people, the psychic priests who believe in the Supreme Heaven are basically preaching secretly.
And the priests are not monolithic. Some of them believe in the Creator of the Supreme Heaven (that is, Fugate), and some believe in the King of Grass and Trees (the name of the Tree King after he became the subspace god).
Some still believe in Akhmar and regard the Supreme Heaven as the Aru created by Akhmar.
Fugate didn't care about this. After all, a certain cat had gathered a lot of Akhmar's essence and gave it to the Tree King.
I don’t know if the Tree King can resurrect Akhmar himself. After all, who can say clearly about the essence.
In addition, it was brought together by cats... Don't resurrect a strong man with cat ears.
Half a month later, the reconstruction work of the Hearth House has officially begun.
Fugate also officially started his work in the temporary base of Hearth House.
That is...teaching children.
Of course, the children in front of Fugate were all the ones with outstanding qualifications, selected by Arecino himself.
Among them was Femini, a little boy with freckles that Fugate was familiar with before. There was also a girl with cat ears, who was more concerning than the little boy with ash-blond hair.
If Fugate guessed correctly, these two should be the future great magicians Linny and Lynette, as well as several people whom Fugate didn't know.
But being sent to Fugate instead of other instructors means that they are talented.
"Now is the time for these kids to lay the foundation. Speaking of which, this is the first time I have trained such young kids." Fugate said.
"You seem to be in a good mood." A voice said.
"That's natural. Staying with these children will always dispel the loneliness in my heart." Fugate said.
"Nice to meet you [Ms.]," Fugate said.
"Nice to see you too, Colonel," [Ms.] said.
The two parties didn't talk much, or maybe [Ms.] was such an awkward person.
"I hope you can leave something behind when the fire burns out." Fugate shook his head and continued to teach the little guys.
"Hmm~ Let me think about what materials I should purchase more recently."
"Children, what do you like to eat?" Fugate looked at the children.
"Hmm~ Can I have sweets?" a child said.
"Of course." Fugate smiled and said, "Is there anything else?"
The children spoke enthusiastically, and Fugate agreed one by one.
Then they were given a hearty meal as promised, and then their training volume in the evening was doubled.
"Sugar is a high-calorie thing. You need to digest it in time so that it is not wasted." Fugate said with a smile. But this smile is like a devil in everyone's eyes.
Time passed in the blink of an eye and dozens of days passed, and Fugate finally got his first long vacation.
"Finally free." Fugate exhaled and said.
"What are you going to do?" Arecino was curious about what Fugate would do in his free time.
"Go back to Xumi." Fugate said.
"? Even at your speed, it won't be too late, right?" Arecino said.
Fugate's vacation time is only seven days. Even if Fugate rushes with all his strength (Fugate's strength and speed are greatly reduced), it will still be too late, unless he uses the space teleportation technology of the Fools that is no longer so mature.
(The Fools have this technology. It first appeared when the Fools soldiers attacked Qunyu Pavilion through the space teleportation device after the young master released Osel)
"You're back." Shamian didn't care when Fugate came back.
He had already come back during Fugate's experiment.
But I didn’t stay at the Sixth Level Manor.
"How is your investigation going?" Fugate asked.
"Lord Little Lucky Grass King has begun to pay attention. With her intervention, the doctor has been driven out of the Sumeru area." Xia Mian said.
Fugate muttered twice that this change was quite big, and said nothing more.
"Is Your Majesty the Grass King still playing that self-imprisonment game?" Fugate breathed a long sigh of relief, lay down on the sofa, and then took out the player and records.
Then the music echoed in the room.
"What I want to tell you is that Mr. Little Lucky Grass King seems to have noticed the traces of Tree King Mianxia recently."
"It was almost a matter of course to be discovered." Fugate didn't care.
"There's a big difference between you now and before." Charmian touched Fugate.
"Hmm~" Fugate said, "Let's sleep together tonight. It's been a long time since I held you to sleep."
Xia Mian stiffened and said, "Don't play with your ears, or even your tail."
"Okay~" Fugate simply wanted to have a good sleep. Only in the Sixth Level Manor and beside Charmian could Fugate sleep peacefully.
Fugate lay on the chair for a while and fell asleep to the music.
Charmian shook his head and carried Fugate into the room, then lay on the bed amidst soothing music, and fell asleep soon after.
······
"How long has it been since you took care of your tail, Charmian?" Fugate played with Charmian's tail and said, "Some of the hair here is about to get tangled."
"Where? I just took care of it this Wednesday." Shamian held his tail and examined it carefully.
"This is the hair care ointment I brought back this time. It not only makes the hair soft and fluffy, but also has a certain repellent effect." Fugate took out something like a treasure.
"This should be applied at the root of the hair, and then in the direction of hair growth." Fugate demonstrated to Sharmian.
Sure enough, the tail hair was much smoother.
"Why didn't you take it out yesterday?" Charmian complained that Fugate took it out too late.
"Didn't I forget it?" Fugate scratched his head, then took the paper and pen brought by Shamian and wrote down the formula of the ointment.
There are relatively few people who need these things, but there are still many people who need them.
After all, humans have hair too, just hair.
"Help me wipe the ears. I can't see this, it's inconvenient..." After Shamian took care of the tail, he found that the hair on the tail was indeed much fluffy and soft.
Then I naturally wanted to take care of the hair on my ears. Although the hair on my ears was taken care of every day, the effect of taking care of it was really not as good as Fugate's newly invented ointment.
"Hey, these ears are so funny." Fugate rubbed his ears, making Shamian blush.
Xia Mian was speechless and said, "You are just like a child, can't you stop playing? Wipe it off quickly..."
"Speaking of which, is there anything interesting happening in Xumi recently?"
"This is true. A few years ago, a Hebanda from our Su Lun sect brought back a child from somewhere. It was nothing before, but now this Hebanda has been promoted to a sage."
"Little Lucky Grass King said that the child had an aura that I was familiar with, and then asked me to take a look."
"As a result, I found that this child inherited half of the power of Hermanubis. Judging from the situation, it should be the power inherited by the guys in the Hall of Silence."
"That's really interesting." Fugate said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about recruiting a disciple or something, and pissing off those guys from the Palace of Silence?"
"That's not necessary. The Palace of Silence is already miserable enough now, and it's just better than the ordinary tribe. The sage and the child are quite interesting. You can go and see it when you have time." Shamian said .
The cold joke was really good, but I didn’t want to hear it anyway.
"Any other interesting stories?" Fugate asked.
"It's still a matter of our Su Lun sect. Last year, an international student came. He is very talented. He has become a Diriyasi in a short time. He is currently applying to become a trainee Drakshata."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"She is a girl named Lisa Mintz. She is very talented. She is much better than Hetara. Without using alchemical potions, she has the intelligence level of ordinary people who have taken intelligence-enhancing potions."
"That's really impressive." Fugate praised.
"He is a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years in the Imperial Academy." Xia Mian also liked this junior very much.
In other words, she, like Fugate, loves geniuses.
They were acquaintances again. Fugate touched his chin and ignored them. As time got closer and closer to the so-called plot, there were naturally more and more of these acquaintances.
Moreover, each of these acquaintances are the pride of heaven and celebrities, so even if he doesn't go out to find them, their names will naturally appear in Fugate's ears.
"Charmian, do you want to go shopping? We haven't gone shopping for a long time." Fugate said.
"Sure." Xia Mian also became interested in shopping.
The two of them didn't do much to cover up and went straight to the street.
After buying a few peaches, Fugate summoned the water element to wash them for a while and then started enjoying them.
"Dunduntao tastes much better than before." Fugate said, "There seem to be a lot more refreshing substances,"
"This is a new variety of Dundun peach cultivated under the guidance of Nafis, the sage of the Biophysics School." The shop owner said with a smile.
"It is indeed a good choice to refresh your mind." Xia Mian also said.
"Speaking of which, there don't seem to be any groundbreaking achievements in the Order in recent years." Fugate said, "I took a look at the modern high-end alchemical theories you collected this morning, and there doesn't seem to be much progress."
"That being said... it's true." Xia Mian paused and said, "Even if I experienced several deep sleeps, their research shouldn't be that much slower than mine."
"Maybe it's because today's academic atmosphere is not very good." Fugate muttered, "And I vaguely feel that there is nothing wrong with the slow development."
"You want to talk about the ancient country of Tuhe (Kanrya)?" Shamian said.
"Well~ the technological level of the ancient Tuhe country was already much better than that of Xumi five hundred years ago." Fugate said, "The alchemy of [gold] is even two to three levels higher than our level. .”
"Is it so exaggerated..."
"It's far more exaggerated than you think." Fugate said, "Of course, I'm talking about the whole. In the field of alchemical potions, especially in the field of brain development, I am confident that no one can be my opponent."
< br>
"But [Gold] is better in all aspects, and it is not weak in every aspect. The alchemy of the creation system that she specializes in is like a myth in her hands."
"Even her alchemy has reached a level that can affect my prophecy."
