"Wow, haven't you arrived yet? I'm tired. ”

It's been two hours since Dainsleif followed him all the way to find traces of the Abyss, and the terrain in Liyue is particularly rugged, which makes Paimon complain.

Ying looked at Paimon, who had been flying, and said dissatisfiedly, "I didn't even say that I was tired, not to mention that you are flying, what are you tired of?" ”

"My phantom limb is also tired, okay?"

"It's the front, there's a strong abyss breath there." Dainsleif spoke suddenly.

Ying hurriedly cheered up and walked towards her destination.

"What, just two abyssal mages, and hilichurls."

Ying said disappointedly, thinking what it was, but since she was an abyss mage, Ying still used her sword to solve it.

"Those abyssal mages just now. Is it preparing to ambush us? Waiting for Ying to solve the Abyss Mage, Paimon asked from the side.

In response to Paimon's words, Dainsleif directly rejected her suspicions, "No, they were just rummaging through the remains of those ruin guards, rummaging for something." ”

"Is that so... Ying seems to do this a lot... What kind of chaos device, chaos loop or something. ”

Ying: "??? ”

While these are important materials, that's not a reason, right? No matter how you look at it, the Abyss Mage doesn't look like he's looking for these.

Ying shouted, "Paimon! ”

"Huh?" Paimon turned his head in confusion.

"You speak carefully, otherwise you won't know when you go to bed one day." Ying threatened viciously.

"Wow, I'll just stop talking."

"It can't be something so ordinary." Dainsleib analyzed that these were useless for the abyss.

"The reason why I'm investigating nearby. It's because from that ruin, from time to time, there will be abyssal mages who go out to explore. ”

"They seem to be trying to find something precious from the remains of the ruins guards and bring them back to the ruins."

"Did they find it?"

After Dainsleif finished speaking, Paimon hurriedly asked, if this thing was found by the abyss, something bad would definitely happen.

"Judging by their disappointed looks, at least they haven't been found yet..."

"Why didn't you just grab them and ask?"

Paimon's question made Ying look at her dangerously again.

"Of course, I wasn't prepared to be merciful to these guys, but I just felt that this matter meant a lot to the entire Abyss Order." Dainsleif paused for a moment: "Besides, even if he could be tortured, the Abyss Mage would have been evaporated by the Traveler's holy attribute energy, and as far as I know, its truth cannot be obtained through torture. ”

"Or rather, these abyss mages are already facing a fear deeper than any torture..."

"Next time, you can torture them with the holy attribute, I don't know if it has any effect, I just forgot." Ying rubbed her chin in thought.

"Holy attribute, it's not the first time I've seen you use it, this does have a great restraining effect on the abyss, but I don't know if it can work."

Ying continued to ask, "Is this fear related to what happened in the ruins?" ”

Paimon recalled the oppressive atmosphere in the ruins earlier, and said with a little fear, "Alas. What's going on with this creepy feeling? ”

"Alright, don't delay here too long, let's keep tracking."

Ying: "."

Haven't you been telling us all the time? My goal is clear, the Abyss Apostle, it really is. Who exactly is the employer?

Along the way, Ying encountered another wave of abyssal mages, accompanied by the ruins guards, but this time she learned and planned to torture the abyss mages with holy attributes, but something unexpected happened to her.

Although the abyss mage was in pain, there was a hint of relief in his expression, and in the end he was eaten alive by the holy attribute and died, it didn't say anything, even when Diluc tortured the abyss mage before, he begged for mercy, which made Ying very puzzled.

"Your holy attribute seems to be a relief for them." Dainsleif stood by for a long moment, then sighed.

Ying: "."

"Do you feel that the place where the abyss mage is dormant, there are often ruin guards wandering, is it some kind of coincidence?" Paimon asked from the side.

"There are no coincidences in the world, everything is a seed planted in the distant past. It's like your presence in that tavern... Time is just waiting for it to sprout. ”

"I don't really understand what you're talking about, but it seems like it's predestined, and I can't avoid it."

Listening to Dainsleif's words, Ying said calmly, just like being forced to watch the plot in the ruins of the wind dragon before, she didn't have this strong feeling at other times, as if she was deliberately told to her.

"Well, you seem to already know something, but this is not a good thing for you now, and I won't say anything more, so as not to have an accident." Dainsleif didn't show a surprised expression this time, but replied calmly.

"The connection between the Abyss Order and the Ruins Guardian is certainly not a coincidence."

Ying didn't ask much about Dainsleif's change of topic, and the mystery would naturally be revealed at that time.

"It should be said that it is the right of branches that extend from the same root system."

Paimon asked, "Roots?" Branch rights? What do you mean..."

"They all originated from the ancient kingdom of Kanria, which fell five hundred years ago."

"Huh? Kanria?! Paimon seemed to remember something and continued, "That's the case... Are the Abyss Order and the Ruins Guardian actually the remnants of Kanria after the destruction of the country?! ”

"Speaking of Kanria, that's a very old name." Paimon said and turned to look at Ying, "Oh, yes. As a guide, I'll explain this to the traveler. The kingdom of Kanria is..."

Ying interrupted, "I know the name Kanria. ”

Paimon: "Huh? ”

"Because, I have memories of being in Kanriya."

"Do you have a memory? But it was a kingdom that had fallen 500 years ago..."

Ying didn't say much, but it didn't matter anymore, she had a new goal.

Seeing that Ying didn't explain much about this issue, Dainsleif said: "Yes, everyone has secrets, you haven't asked me about the things in the world, and I won't ask you..."

"But if you will tell me, I will listen. So—what is the scene of Kanria that you see? ”

"It's nothing." Ying told what happened to her.

"So what happened at that time, the full order is like this... I thought you met that strange god in the first place."

Dainsleif listened to Ying's narration and analyzed: "Hmm... After coming to this life, your first resurgence was to be awakened by your brother from the meteorite. ”

"It seems that your brother woke up before you, but I don't know how long before you?"

"Then, your brother told you that the destruction of Kanria had caused the world to change and asked you to leave the world called Teyvat with you." Dainsleif continued.

Paimon asked, puzzled, "Kanria's demise?" That's what she said? ”

"That's what I heard." Ying rubbed her chin and recalled, making sure she heard correctly.

"You've been through that cataclysm, and it's... Five hundred years ago. It seems that your first awakening in this world was also during that period. ”

"Hmm... In this way, your brother, because of the relationship between waking up first, must have known the world better than you at that time. ”

After Paimon finished speaking, Dainsleif continued, "The follow-up to this is that you soon encountered a strange god who blocked your way, and you were unable to escape..."

"Well, I'm the one I've heard the most."

After Glow's fishing caught Paimon, she heard Glow's say this, and became Glow's guide.

"I see." Dainsleif analyzed: "You had just woken up and were in a hurry to leave this world, completely unaware of any background to the name Kanria. ”

"But now that I know a little bit about Teyvat, I guess that the battle I experienced back then was the battle of the destruction of Kanria, right?"

"So, when we traveled together before, you checked a lot of ancient books, but after we arrived in Liyue, you didn't check them again."

Paimon thought of Ying's previous actions, as if she had gone to that world that time, and Ying hadn't paid attention to them, which made her a little puzzled.

Ying replied: "Those ancient books are really useless, I know too little information, but I have read everything I can." ”

"So you actually want to know more about Kanria, in order to find your brother?"
