The end of another world: the desolate land!

Madam, I have a few things to report.

The first thing was the winter boss, which was too far away from our area refresh so we had to return empty-handed this time, but we found a hidden secret realm along the way, which might record a special resource area.

Oh? Where is that secret place now?

Deep Canyon! Kazuo has already had people start drawing a map of that place, and it will be directly on your desk in three hours.

That's fine, let's move on to the rest.

The second thing is that regarding your previous abolition of the Flower Goddess Festival, there were some complaining voices from the Modharsus Grass Kingdom, and the unshakable Tianquan Star Ningguang begged for your summons.

The person who reported the previous progress paused for a few seconds after talking about the second trivial matter, as if waiting for Meng Lingyue's instructions, but found that there was no indication, so he continued.

The third thing is that there are two brothers and sisters who call themselves travelers and request your summons, and the God of Grass and the Great Kind Tree King named Rui have also submitted an audience report to you.

The fourth thing is that the latest situation and latest developments in the dark forest area have been discovered.

Anything to report in the dark woods area? What did the investigators find?

Madam, to some extent, we seem to have found the Zerg's movements in that area.

As we went deeper and deeper into the dark forest area to the south, we discovered that the earth veins were draining energy faster and faster, and we discovered that the Pig King had died tragically!

And there is indeed a worm queen in this area, with a level of 8791, which seems to have been piled up with resources! The overall aura and values ​​appear to be very weak to a certain extent and level.

Any news from Duoer?

Not at the moment, but the hidden eel has a guess.

tell me the story.

Yes!

According to his inference and some historical information he found, he discovered a dark wood area that seemed to have been affected by a mechanical disaster, and perhaps something was left behind at that time.

After avoiding these messages, the people just knelt quietly beside Meng Lingyue with their heads down, waiting for their master's response.

On the other hand, when Meng Lingyue heard the news, her mind was like a storm of thoughts. After all, after her own investigation, she found that everything related to the mechanical disaster was either known to the family or was scattered.

Okay, I know the fourth thing. Keep investigating, focusing on mechanical disasters and historical issues. But don't delve too deeply. Come back and report as soon as you find some clues. Don't be greedy for credit. Safety is the most important thing. After all, you are the first batch of investigators. If you die, you are really gone.

Thank you ma'am for your concern!

I directly rejected the requests for audience with the God of Grass, the Great Tree King, and the Tianquan Star who came to bother me every day, and told them not to bother me no matter what.

As for the two brothers and sisters who claim to be travelers, they are guests from outside the area after all. You can go to the Foreign Affairs Department to make arrangements and ask them to come to the central church in the inner city in three days.

If you have nothing to do, just go down and do what I say.

After receiving the order and understanding the task assigned to him, the reporter got up and left without too much delay.

After the people left, Meng Lingyue stopped the work at hand and began to ponder the consequences of the combination of the dark forest area, the Zerg and the mechanical disaster.

What are these bugs hiding? Previously, they only extracted the energy of half of the area, but this time they started to use the entire area as energy ore.

But it's strange. If there is such a lack of energy, shouldn't it affect other areas? Why is it only in the dark woods area? Sometimes I really don't understand these bugs.

What was the purpose of the gathering of the queen worms and the large number of breeding queen worms? Not only did the pig king die tragically, but according to the current investigation, all the creatures in the area were estimated to have been extinct.

I wanted to hide, but I didn't hide well enough, so it was like fishing for others to find me... It seemed necessary to prepare in advance.

Meng Lingyue's thoughts and arrangements did not affect the passage of time. Three days later, two blond men and women arrived at the central church at 3 pm.

Meng Lingyue, who arrived here early, was already looking at the information handed over by Shadow, which obviously recorded the information of the two siblings in front of her.

Please take a seat, there is no need for too much formality. Please wait for a few minutes while I take a look at this report. I think you two won't mind...right?

As the two blond travelers sat down, Meng Lingyue didn't say anything more and just left them there. It was not until seven minutes later that she slowly closed the book and began to listen.

Do you two have anything to say? Travelers from outside the world... or travelers who can no longer travel.

It seems that Madam already has a general understanding of us.

(The one who first raised the topic and responded to Meng Lingyue was the blond male traveler named Kong who was sitting on the left, while her sister was not prepared to answer the question)

It's just basic knowledge. When you came to the forest area, the rock area, the Mirror Lake area, and even the grassland area, I already knew it, but I was just too lazy to read it.

After all, there are so many people and so many races, and I can't browse through them all every day and remember you all. I just know what I need to know when I need it.

Madam, you have good means!

You don't need to praise me like that. So, please state your purpose in advance. If you are here to beg for mercy... I'm sorry. You only have two choices: one! Either get up and leave now, or two! Either I beat you up and take your sister away.

. . . . . . You seem very confident?

This is not self-confidence, but efficiency. After all, even if you are outsiders and have certain powers, better talents and racial foundations, the level is here.

Let me ask you, a brother and sister at level 1900 and 1700 respectively, if you can escape from my territory, then you can be more unbridled.

It seems that your divine eyes have already known what we are asking for, but for the sake of our friends, we still want to say it.

Please do so.

(Hearing what Kong said, Meng Lingyue also raised her left hand to signal)

I don't know why you hate the Flower Goddess Festival so much, ma'am, and I don't know why you want to abolish it, but that festival has extraordinary significance for everyone in Xumi, the Land of Grass, and even the gods there.

In the original world, this festival was a belief and celebration, but in this world it has become a celebration shared by God and the people. It is a festival that carries all happiness.

I hope...

stop!

Hearing this, Meng Lingyue interrupted what Kong was about to say, obviously knowing that this person wanted to get something for free.

I only bring despair, not hope. If I agree to reopen the Flora Festival, what can you bring to me? I hope you won't use your mouth to explain the beauty, and then I will be like a fool and agree to everything you say.

These words left the two siblings stunned, but Meng Lingyue had already expected this.

It seems like you two really just want to use some sweet words to make me untie it. Shouldn't it be said that you are untie it but that you want to get it for free?

And guess again, do you think that I will assign you some commissions and tasks, and after you complete them, I will unlock and solve everything, and then I will have a good impression of you, making it easier for you to do things in the future?

Please ~ This is not your so-called Teyvat, nor is it any of those worlds with broken laws and incomplete order that you can go to casually.

This world is called the Desolate Land. Although I am a latecomer, in just a few short years I have come to know what kind of place it is.

I won't give you any favorability! There are only transactions here, and even contracts can be violated. After all, some things are not recognized by the rules.

I will repeat what I just said. Now either you get up and leave without saying anything else. If you still want to persuade me or use other methods, I will be happy to have another puppet.

May I ask why you hate Flora Festival so much?

I don't hate it, I just don't like it. The Flower Goddess Festival you mentioned brings back bad memories. When I see it, I will recall it, and the memories make me want to see it again, and these are painful.

Let me ask you, if I don’t watch it, but I see it in my memories, and the emotions that have been suppressed will eventually explode, wouldn’t it be better to just let it disappear?

So, ma'am, you just don't want to see it, so you just destroy it all?

It can be said that Modharsus is just a vassal city-state of our elves, and its life and death are completely controlled by the main city.

Would it make you happy to deprive others of their happiness and joy? Why can't you join them and become happy yourself? Maybe you can give it a try.

No need... Your kind words of advice are unnecessary for me. Besides! How do you think I haven't tried and joined?

Feel sorry...

I accept it ~ you are just telling me, not being sarcastic, and I can accept that.

But according to what has happened so far, your commission may have failed. As compensation, all entertainment facilities in the inner city will be open to you for free for one day. I hope you can have fun~

Thank you for your kindness. My sister and I will not bother you any more. However, we will still think of a solution after we return.

Then please go ahead!

The two travelers, Kong and Ying, did not gain any benefit from this conversation, but Meng Lingyue did not make things difficult for them and just explained her reasons.

Modorharsus and the rock area have now belonged to the elves in the forest area. To a certain extent, even the lives of all the people in the city-state are no longer their own. The two have no right to interfere. After all, the rules of the world are here!

An hour after the two left, Meng Lingyue did not leave the central church. Instead, she was planning something?

Follow the female blonde traveler closely. Follow her wherever she goes. It shouldn't be too much to leave a little backup.

Mandala receives the order~

Since it's delivered to my door, there's no reason not to make good use of it. Who knows, it might be useful in the future? Don't miss the big fish that's waiting for you!

All right... Come out now? You are not tired of hiding! You are a shadow person now, no matter what, if you want to see me, you don't have to hide like this, come out to beg for mercy or to report.

Shu Ying, who was directly called out, heard Meng Lingyue's words, that is, her current master said this, and walked out from behind the pillar with a nervous look on her face.

Madam! I want to ask you a favor. I...

If you want to see that person, go and see him yourself. There's no need to come to me for these trivial matters. I'm not your babysitter. You should take care of your own affairs.

What are you standing there for? If you have something to say, just say it. You were slashing people with a knife before, but now you are acting like a little girl. Did you get beaten up and become stupid?

No! I just think there should be a sense of distance, after all, I belong to the shadow now.

Then you should also understand that you are now the main executor of power! And the person you want to see has become a vassal. If you still don’t understand, now you are the boss and she is the subordinate. To a certain extent, the power I give you is very great. How to use it and whether you want to use it depends on your own thinking!

Don't tell me that you went through so much trouble, passed so many tests and selections, and finally became a member of the Shadow, but you don't know how to exercise the power you have? Do you need me to teach you?

No... I don’t dare!

Then use the power given to you to find a way yourself. You can also keep an eye on her, which is your mission.

Yes! Yimu obeys.

After the people left, Meng Lingyue's face was full of disgust. It was obvious that she was very disgusted with people who were wavering in feelings but couldn't make up their minds to pursue them. So she just assigned a task and threw the person away.

In the following days, Meng Lingyue and the elves in the entire forest area were waiting for the arrival of a new cycle season. After all, this mild season was about to end, and greater tests were about to come!

Haman has already arrived at the destination, waiting for the arrival of the floating city-state. He has also arranged hidden positions and backup plans, waiting for the sparrows to land and then encircle and destroy them together.
