Chapter 823: What Are You Doing Here?
"Is this the White Night Country......"
An underground country that has no sunlight and relies on artificial light sources for its light.
Overhead, there is a thick layer of rock, and below, there is a bottomless nothingness.
Huge islands seem to float in the clouds, and collapsed buildings stand on them.
"It's a veritable underworld." Ah Mao also sighed a little.
White night, white night, that is, day and night.
Jiang Bai casually activated the leyline anchor point next to him.
Even at such a deep depth, there are still leyline anchors covering it.
This means that it is still within the confines of Teyvat.
Jiang Bai walked to the edge of the island where he was located, and looked at the broken bridge that had collapsed after thousands of years of time connecting several islands.
He looked down into the bottomless void below, and could only see a thick cloud of mist, not how deep it was.
Throw a stone down, and you can't hear the sound of the stone hitting the ground.
"You wait for me here, I'll go down and see."
"Be careful."
"Hmm."
Jiang Bai slowly fell, and his figure was completely covered by clouds and mist.
The further down you go, the dimmer the light from the Great Sun Goyoshi becomes until the light is completely obscured.
The underground of the Yuanxia Palace is not really a void, it has a bottom.
Jiang Bai saw the water below who didn't know how deep, and the stone he threw down sank completely into the water, but because it was too high, he couldn't hear any sound.
In the Great Sun Palace, this space has created an ecological cycle that is very similar to the outside world, and the water at the bottom evaporates down, forming a cloud above.
Perhaps when the night closes and the temperature drops, these clouds will condense into mist and a light rain will fall in this cave.
Jiang Bai didn't get too close to the water, he saw a lot of dragon lizards swimming in the water, and there were even dragon lizards lying on the bare rocks on the surface of the water to bask in the sun.
These dragon lizards have become very accustomed to the dark environment underground, and live very comfortably.
Jiang Bai didn't disturb them, and flew up directly.
"What's next?"
"There's water down there, and there's a lot of dragon lizards living there. Speaking of which, why are there so many dragon lizards here? ”
In the outside world, the voice of the dragon lizard can rarely be seen.
Hearing his question, Ah Hao asked in surprise, "Don't you know?" ”
"Know what?" Jiang Bai asked rhetorically.
"Before the arrival of the primordial Phanes, Teyvat was the world of the dragon kings, the oldest of the natives. After the defeat of the dragon kings, the dragon heirs were banished, and they could only live on the edge like this......"
Jiang Bai was suddenly expelled here, no wonder there were so many dragon lizards here.
For these dragon lizards, the Yuanxia Palace may be the only remaining place to survive.
I don't know if these dragon lizards have intelligence or if they can communicate......
"I know about the battle between the primordial man and the dragon king, but I don't think so much ......"
"Speaking of which, where did the Dragon King go after the defeat?"
"Maybe it's dead, I don't know."
The two landed on the nearest island and walked slowly forward.
Jiang Bai was shocked to find that there were actually hilichurls in this Yuanxia Palace!
How did the hilichurls come to be here?
Is it a former resident?
But it stands to reason that when Orobus evacuated with his people, he should have evacuated all, after all, this underground space is limited, and the place of residence is even more limited, and there can't be too many people in the entire Yuanxia Palace, and the big snake's body can be taken away in one roll.
How is it possible that there are still some people left here to stay behind?
Or did these hilichurls come here from the outside?
Like some of the Kanria machines you encountered along the way?
But the question is, how did the Kanria get in?
Could it be that there are other entrances and exits here? But if there were, the Fatui wouldn't have wanted to enter all the time, but because of the seal, they couldn't get in.
Or is it through some kind of special channel...... For example, the abyssal passage used by the Abyss Apostles?
Continuing to walk inside, Jiang Bai found that there were still a lot of these Kanria machines, all kinds of them, most of them were intact, but they were in a dormant state.
What did Kanriya send so many machines to the White Nights Nation for? Looking for something?
Now there is no map of the Enxia Palace in the Coral Palace, and the Coral Jade Branch to find only gives a rough direction, so you can imagine how difficult it is to find the book that may have been destroyed here.
"These buildings are falling too badly......"
Ah Mao wanted to go inside a collapsed building, but he couldn't get in at all.
Over the past few thousand years, too many uncared for buildings have collapsed, and many have become ruins.
It took a lot of effort, and around sunset outside, the two finally found a large building that was still in good condition.
It's a library, but thousands of years have passed, and most of the books and files stored in it have been damaged, moldy, and unreadable.
I finally found a few books that I could still read, but because of the sticky paper, there wasn't much I could read.
But fortunately, I did get some useful information.
Because of the special location of the White Night Country, the flow of the leylines here is also extraordinary, and when the Great Day Imperial Opinion is closed, you will see some afterimages left by the past.
It's just that not all of them can leave an afterimage, they must be those who have firm beliefs, strong wills, and deep obsessions.
These afterimages still retain the consciousness of their former lives, and they are able to communicate and communicate.
In other words, the book can be found in the afterimages that come down from these afterimages.
But the question arises again, how to close the Great Day Imperial Opinion?
Ah Hao came back from a circle outside, and when he saw that Jiang Bai was still reading, he couldn't help but remind:
"It's not early, let's rest first."
Jiang Bai yawned, closed the moldy book in his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands.
"In this environment, you really can't feel the passage of time at all......"
The Great Sun is not the real sun, it is just a light source body built by imitating the sun, there is no bright change, it can only be turned on or off.
Ah Hat found a rough stone pillar that had been toppled, blew the dust that fell from it, and sat down.
"It's midnight outside. Sleep, I'll keep vigil. ”
He's a doll, and there's nothing wrong with not sleeping.
"Then it's troublesome."
Jiang Bai was not hypocritical, condensed a sarcophagus, spread a futon and lay down to sleep.
On the rocks not far from the library, an abyss appeared silently.
He muttered quietly, without attracting anyone's attention.
"Have the heroes of Watatsumi Island arrived here...... I thought it would be His Royal Highness's blood relative, but it wasn't... Let me think about how to approach them......"
