Chapter 471 Incurable Disease
"Hey, I just saved someone who collapsed after eating something indiscriminately. You'd better not repeat the same mistake. Even if you really want to try it, please make sure you memorize the diagrams on the bulletin board outside. Besides, I can't guarantee what kind of reaction those things will have when mixed with your Liyue's alcohol..."
When Tina saw the expressions on Xu Ning's and the others' faces, she knew that three more troublemakers would probably appear in Daocheng Forest soon. She had already saved each of the two guys once, and she didn't want to save them again.
Upon hearing his master speak, Ke Lai quickly replied, "I will keep a close eye on them."
Xu Ning looked at Tinali and asked with a smile, "If Tinali also had Lingfenxiang, we could test it out right here."
Tina shook her head. "I am a proponent of life, and my major is botany. Unlike the proponents of insight, I do not need to meditate. I do not have that kind of incense here."
At this point, Tina suddenly changed the subject, "But if you still want to try those plants, I can take you to pick some now. However, promise me that after you bring them back, you won't go out and pick anything to eat until you've memorized the diagrams."
Xu Ning naturally nodded in agreement.
"Kong, you stay here and take care of Ke Lai. Let her rest a bit more. We'll be back soon."
Kong knew that Xu Ning's trip was probably not just about picking plants, but perhaps he wanted to find out some information about Sumeru and the World Tree from Tinari. Although he also wanted to go and listen, he decided to stay because he saw that Cole was getting sleepy.
"Forest ranger Xilin discovered a patch of moon lotus growing in the eastern suburbs of Huacheng Guo. The main medicine for treating Ke Lai requires the flowers from these moon lotuses. I'll collect some to make the medicine, and you can also try those plants and your wine..."
Xu Ning followed behind Tina, watching his light and agile figure, and asked, "I couldn't bring myself to say it in front of Cole in the house, but didn't Seno already suppress the remnants of the evil spirit in Cole's body? Why does she seem more tired now than when she was in Mondstadt?"
Tinali continued walking and said, "The remnants of the evil god have indeed been sealed, but the Demon Scale Disease is something she has had since birth, and there is no way to cure it."
Xu Ning was silent for a moment, "But Seno said that only Sumeru had a way to cure Demon Scale Disease..."
"This has always been a very important research topic in Sumeru. Although we haven't found a solution yet, we have always had ways and medicines to alleviate her pain. For example, these moon lotuses can be used as medicine to relieve her pain."
Tina stopped and pointed to the river below the stone wall. "You know what? In Sumeru, many plant names and shapes don't actually match. For example, the moon lotus doesn't really look like a lotus. Its flowers are small. The reason they look big is just because its sepals are large..."
Xu Ning wasn't interested in these plants; he was only concerned about Ke Lai's condition.
"The moon lotus can relieve her pain. Is it because these are plants created by the Tree King and contain the Tree King's power? Kolei already has the Divine Eye of the Grass Element. As her abilities improve, can she use the power of the Grass Element to remove the lesions?"
Tina nodded and said, "The first half of the sentence is similar to your deduction, but as for eradication, it's hard to say, since we don't even know how the Demon Scale Disease came about."
"But for those of us who have lived in Daocheng Forest for a long time, we have discovered a factor that may be related to the Demon Scale Disease - the Dead Zone."
"Dead Zone?"
It's something I've never heard of.
Xu Ning followed Tina's example and collected a few moon lotuses, put them in a jar, and then asked Tina, "This word sounds like a region formed by extreme environmental degradation. Is this the cause of the Demon Scale Disease?"
"Your understanding of the Dead Zone is basically correct, but it's not the cause of the disease. However, we've discovered that as the number of Dead Zones increases, the condition of patients infected with Demon Scale Disease also worsens."
Tina stopped picking only four moon lotuses, saying that only the freshest moon lotuses could be effective for Corley's illness.
“Alright, that’s enough for the medicine. Amir just reported the appearance of a dead zone today, at the end of this valley. I was planning to clear it out anyway. If you’re interested, I can take you to see it.”
Xu Ning naturally wanted to go and see.
When they arrived, the Emperor simply said, "My old friend is in a bit of trouble."
If that trouble refers to the frequently appearing dead zones, then I'll just learn how to remove them here in Tina, to make my future actions easier.
The two had walked along the valley for only a short while when Tinari stopped.
"The existence of the dead zone can be clearly seen from here."
Xu Ning looked up and saw a gray area suddenly appear in the rainforest that was originally lush and green.
The plants on the outer edge of the gray area were still lush and green, but within the area, almost all the plants had withered, and the air was filled with something like ash.
"This is the Dead Zone. What do you think? It looks pretty intuitive, doesn't it?"
Xu Ning nodded. "Yes, it's like something has sucked all the life out of the entire land. How can we restore it?"
"Then we need to enter the interior of the Dead Zone, find its root cause, and eliminate the thing affecting the Dead Zone so that this area can be restored."
At this point, Tinari laughed and said, "It was definitely wise to let Kong and the others stay. It is very dangerous for ordinary people without the Eye of God to enter the Dead Zone, so I usually have the rangers discover it and report it to me for handling."
When Xu Ning heard Tinali say that Kong didn't have the Eye of God, he shook his head and said, "Kong is no ordinary person. It's true that this kid doesn't have the Eye of God, but his application of elemental power is top-notch. I left him there just because I was worried about Kolai. If you ever need someone to help you with any dirty or tiring work in the future, just ask him. His enthusiasm is also top-notch."
Tina nodded. "So, those rumors are true. I thought they were just hearsay and rumors. After all, it is indeed a bit unbelievable that someone can use elemental power freely without the Eye of God."
As he spoke, Tina glanced at the Eye of God embedded in Xu Ningchen's gourd and laughed, "And your unique Eye of God of Wine is something I've never seen before. It's a good opportunity to see it for myself."
