Dainsleif?

Jiang Bai had never heard of this name.

Look at his clothes, it doesn't look like any country I've seen so far.

And he was dressed very tightly, except for his face, his whole body was wrapped in clothes, as if he was hiding something by his clothes.

It's the pupils, a little like Kaeya.

"Why do you know about me?"

"Are you sure you want to talk to me about this here?"

Jiang Bai took a look at the people around him, this is indeed not a place to talk about things.

"Then let's go to the teahouse."

Jiang Bai felt that this Dainsleif should have no ill will towards him, after all, he came with an attitude of conversation.

opened a teahouse box, and after making sure that the conversation inside could not be heard outside, Jiang Bai looked at Dainsleif.

"Would you like tea?"

"Nope. I'm not used to Liyue's tea. ”

"Then get straight to the point, why do you know about me?"

Dainsleif wore black gloves on his hands, and no skin on his hands was exposed.

He crossed his fingers and said calmly, "I can know all the things that happened in Teyvat that are recorded in the leylines. ”

“！”

"Doesn't that mean you know how many times I go to the toilet a night!"

Jiang Bai suddenly had a strong feeling of being offended by his privacy.

Dainsleif was silent, and for a moment there was a feeling that he couldn't continue.

Twice, the person in front of him disrupted his rhythm twice, or made or said something that he didn't expect.

"The capacity of the human brain is limited, and I don't pay attention to these boring things."

"So what would you be concerned about?"

"I'll focus on important things, like your meeting with the Abyss Apostle."

"How do you know? Through the leylines? Who are you? What are you trying to do with me? Jiang Bai looked at him vigilantly.

Such a person who can know all things is really scary.

"I'm just a homeless person, and my identity doesn't matter."

Dainsleib did not say where he came from, and for him, with the passing of his homeland, his former identity has long since faded with the wind.

He is now just a ghost who walks in the world to fight the abyss, nothing more.

"All the information in Teyvat has been recorded in the leylines, and since it has been recorded, there is naturally a way to extract it, but there are only a handful of people who can do such a thing."

"How much do you know about me?" Jiang Bai still did not let his guard down.

"After sensing your contact with the Abyss, I have gone through a lot of records about you, including your power in the Mondstadt Dragon Plague, and everything you did during the Rock Emperor's fake death."

At the mention of this, Jiang Bai's toes buckled to the floor.

Why do so many people know about his death!!

Although he was crazy in his heart, Jiang Bai's face was calm.

He tilted his head slightly and asked in a puzzled tone, "So, what are you doing when you come to me?" ”

Dainsleib didn't have many mood swings, and the expression on his face didn't change much.

It's like he's been through so much that there are very few things that can cause his mood swings.

"Just wanted to ask you a few questions."

Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes.

Such a man who claimed to know everything he did came all the way to ask him a few questions?

Is this his real purpose? Or is it just a trick?

"Then you ask."

He wanted to hear what this guy was going to ask.

"What do the gods mean to Teyvat, in your eyes?" Dainsleib held his chin in his hands and looked at him earnestly.

Hearing this question, Jiang Bai's brows suddenly furrowed.

He thought that this Dain would ask questions about himself, but he didn't want this to be the first question about the gods.

Does this also show some kind of attitude of Dain himself?

Was he hostile to the gods?

"Does my answer matter to you?"

"Of course."

Although the thoughts in his mind turned a thousand times, Jiang Bai thought about this question seriously.

It wasn't that he hadn't discussed this topic with Zhongli before.

But the result is that humans can do without gods.

But it is certainly better to have a god who loves people.

As for whether the existence of gods hinders the development of human beings themselves, it is a matter of opinion among the benevolent and wise on the wise.

After thinking about it, he said:

"It represents the old order."

Teyvat's current order is based on the order of the Seven Rulers of the Earthly Realm, each of which governs the seven realms, providing shelter and guidance to the people within them.

But what he could feel was that as the plan of the Goddess of Ice or perhaps the Heart of God progressed step by step, the old order would change a lot.

The most obvious is Liyue.

From a kingdom of walking with God to a kingdom of men.

But to what extent the old order will change is unknown.

"Very good answer." Hearing his answer, Dainsleib couldn't help but applaud.

"I thought you'd say something like a shelterer, a guide, or something."

Jiang Bai shrugged his shoulders, "You seem to know a lot of things about me, but you don't know much about me." While there is nothing wrong with a patron facilitator, it's too shallow. ”

"Indeed, I know very little about you as a person. Some of your actions also gave me the illusion that you are not a serious person. Dainsleib told the truth.

"Now it seems that it is possible that you deliberately misled me."

Jiang Bai wanted to refute two sentences, but finally held back.

He just deliberately pretended to be improper, yes!

"What more do you want to ask?" Jiang Bai was waiting for his next question.

Dainsleib looked into his eyes and asked very seriously, "What is the difference between the starry sky and the abyss, in your eyes?" ”

“？”

This question really stopped Jiang Bai.

"Before answering your question, you may have to give me an answer on what the starry sky represents, and what the abyss represents."

Seeing that Jiang Bai couldn't answer, Dainsleib suddenly said, "Don't you know, it seems that I asked this question too early." ”

"What exactly are the starry sky and the abyss?" Jiang Bai asked this question very seriously.

The phrase "towards the stars and the abyss" was often said by Catherine of the Adventurers' Guild, and Jiang Bai thought it was a simple slogan at first.

Later, the more I knew, the more complex the two words became.

The starry sky is a huge lie, so what are the stars?

The abyss is not a specific location, so what does it mean?

"It doesn't make sense for me to tell you, you can only know what they are until you feel it yourself."
