Chapter 908: Twins and the Abyss
"Let's go to the city."
Dain led Jiang Bai to a one-way track and got on a small rail car.
There are two wheels fixed on the track under the rail car, shaped like a shuttle, and the large and small gears are connected together at the point, so that the rail car is smoothly fixed on the track, which looks very flexible and convenient.
"This is the most commonly used transportation in Kanria, and basically people rely on it to get around." Dain looked at the rail car with some nostalgia and gave a brief introduction.
Jiang Bai's gaze swept over the tracks all over the city, some of which spread into the pitch-black darkness, as if he saw the scene of rail cars speeding on them, and this was just a kick in the prosperity of Kanriya.
"It's so much more convenient than using your legs......"
"It's been 500 years, no one has taken care of it, a lot of tracks have collapsed, and there shouldn't be much to go now."
Dain said, pulling down the lever on the lever, and the railcar, which had not been started five hundred years ago, made a rusty grinding sound and began to drive along the track.
It's like riding a roller coaster, except that the speed of this rail car is much smoother than that of a roller coaster.
The scene of the city appeared in front of me, and the old buildings quickly swept away from them.
Jiang Bai looked down from the sky and could see that there were many Kanria machines wandering in the city, these machines were not in a dormant state, but obeyed the orders they had once ordered, patrolled, and guarded the city until they turned into a pile of broken copper and iron that could no longer move.
"The situation in Kanria is much better than I thought."
Dain had expected to see a city overrun by monsters, but it turned out to be the opposite.
There aren't many monsters in Kanria, and once a monster appears, these painless mechanical guards will rush up until the monster is completely eliminated.
Looking at the guards whose bodies were broken, but still guarding the city, Dain's eyes filled with deep sadness.
"Back then, not everyone had time to pull out."
The first to evacuate were the nobles, followed by the commoners, and many soldiers who remained behind the palace.
The soldiers, like the mechanical guards, stayed here forever.
The rail car was forced to stop because the track ahead had collapsed. The two stepped off the rail car and walked into the city.
"Are these machines going to attack us?"
"No, it won't."
These machines carry out orders to protect the city, and the people are naturally in their range.
Sure enough, the two were not attacked by any mechanical guards along the way.
"Ahead is the former royal palace."
Jiang Bai stood still and looked up at the huge palace complex in front of him.
This is supposed to be the place where the Kaanriya disaster began, huge blood-red squares float in the air, and the sunlight from the sky also takes on a blood-red color.
The once magnificent building has toppled a lot, but there is still a huge statue of the Black Sun standing tall in front of the square, casting a large shadow.
Underneath the statue of the Black Sun, the remains of countless guards were piled up scattered.
Their discarded bodies no longer emit any light, but their bodies have forged a wall.
They guarded the last glory of this dynasty until the last moment of its life.
In the crevices of these wreckage, Intivat bloomed one by one.
Dain bent down and picked an Intevat, which he placed on his chest and closed his eyes under the statue of the Black Sun.
"You know what, Kharria is a very special place. It's close to the stars, and it's close to the abyss. In Kanria, there are often things that come from outside the world, people who wander from outside the world. ”
Dai Yin talked about these past events after a long absence, and also unveiled a corner of the mystery of Kanria for Jiang Bai.
"People from outside the sky," Jiang Bai muttered.
After he entered Teyvat's barrier, the first place he appeared was also Kanria.
"Yes, Ying isn't the only person outside of the world in Kanriya, but she's more special. The arrival of the twins was facilitated by the [Deep Secret Academy]. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Bai opened his mouth in surprise.
He had never heard of it, not even Sora.
"What is the [Deep Secret Academy]?"
"It's an academic research organization, you can understand it as [Academy of Fontaine]."
"In order to study the abyss, the [Deep Secret Academy] captured the trajectory of the twin stars and sent them to Kanriya"
"Wait, I can't connect the cause and effect of this." Jiang Bai interrupted Dain's narration, he was a little messy now.
According to Sora, after coming to this world, he has been sleeping until he was suddenly awakened by his sister and said that he was leaving this world, and then he was stopped by Tianli, who took Ying away and sealed him.
When the seal disappears, he wanders aimlessly in Teyvat, then catches Paimon, and begins his journey.
It sounded fine before, but now it seems that there are too many vacancies.
"What do they have to do with the Abyss?"
"You've been through a lot with Sora, so you should know that Sora has the power to purify the abyss. But have you ever thought that that's not purification, it's absorption? ”
Jiang Bai was suddenly asked.
Absorb the power of the abyss?
Meaning, they are of the same origin as the abyss, and they originally used the power of the abyss?
I don't know if Sora didn't realize it, or if he deliberately concealed it and didn't say it.
"The sages of the [Deep Secret Academy] study the abyss, study the power of the abyss, and even use the power of the abyss as an energy source, and the one on the throne has given great support to this."
"Why does the [Secret Academy] study the abyss? Or even the whole country to study? ”
There are many reasons to study something, but there are certainly more dangerous and complex reasons behind the power of the nation.
"I'm just a former chief of the palace guard, if you want to know this, maybe you have to go to the Deep Secret Academy."
The [Picker] is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he returned to Kanria this time to dispel his confusion.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, go to the Deep Secret Courtyard!"
Although they are now in front of Kanria's court, it is very dangerous to look inside, it is better to go to the Deep Secret Courtyard first, and then it is not too late to go inside.
Dai Yin did not object, and took Jiang Bai to the Deep Secret Courtyard.
The Secret Courtyard is a complex of buildings that occupy a fairly large area, and even after the past five hundred years, there is still a strong abyssal aura inside.
Without a doubt, this is the place most affected by the abyss.
Jiang Bai held the white abyss in his hand, and when he walked into it, he saw the land that had been heavily invaded by the abyss, and the ground with red in the black and red could no longer grow any plants.
There are no mechanical guards here, and all kinds of strangely shaped abyss monsters are active in it, and it has become a base camp.
"It's dangerous here, be careful not to get hurt by them!" Dain was already in a state of battle.
There was no need for him to remind him, Bai Yuan's bullet had already been fired.
