Chapter Eighty-Six: The Truth?
Ying replied, "That's the clue second only to the Seven Gods. ”
"Well, too. If you want to find the seven gods, you can go all over the seven countries. But Kanria, which was destroyed 500 years ago, is no longer to be found. ”
After Paimon finished speaking, Dainsleif added, "I should know more about Kanria than you do. ”
"Kanria is a land without gods – gods are not dead or gone, but a history that has not existed in Kanria from the beginning."
"This is a mighty nation built purely by mankind, and mankind prides itself on its unprecedented prosperity and glorious civilization."
Dainsleif said this calmly.
"The Kingdom of God That Does Not Exist"
Paimon couldn't figure out what a god-like kingdom would look like.
"And what happened after that, just like the memory you left behind—everything was destroyed by the gods."
"What do you mean" Paimon remembered the various gods he had encountered earlier, and had a bad premonition.
"Five hundred years ago, it was the gods who came together and destroyed Kanria. Remove the so-called pride of mankind from the garden of the gods like weeds..."
Dainsleif's words made Paimon speak in disbelief, "How could this be. It's not mentioned in the history books..."
Ying: "."
Ying didn't speak, but pondered on the sidelines, why did the gods destroy Kanria, in her contact, none of these gods should be as gods at all, and each of them wanted to touch the fish to support the elderly, if it was to eradicate Kanria from the god's garden as the pride of humanity as Dainsleib said, the result would certainly not be like this.
There must be something hidden in the depths that she doesn't know, and she also wanted to go over and ask Zhongli Tassel and the others, but such a secret must be kept secret, and she can only wait for her to discover it herself.
Ying remembered what Tassel had said earlier, Teyvat was false, even the starry sky was a veil of cover, Teyvat could not withstand the invasion of the outside world, and the golden tree made by Tassel was an ark in Ying's opinion, and it could be activated at a dangerous moment.
(Tassel: How did I not know that the golden tree I made was an ark?) I'm going to sue you for slandering me! )
Thinking of this, Ying had a bold conjecture, that is, maybe the fall of Kanria was necessary, and their technology touched the forbidden realm, causing a lot of trouble, so it was also to protect the world of Teyvat, so it made sense.
"It's very excessive, indeed." Ying said.
"Well, it's going to wear down people's will to talk about old things here."
Listening to Dainsleif's words made Ying feel a sense of crisis, and she had to become stronger quickly.
"Let's keep moving forward. I'll keep telling you about the things you want to know. ”
After Dainsleif's words, Ying once again embarked on a journey to find the Abyss Apostle, but this time her expression did not have the excitement she had before, but had a sense of solemnity.
Paimon pointed ahead and said, "Look over there, it's the Ruins Guardian and the Abyss Mage again." ”
Follow the trail left by the abyss until you see two abyssal mages and a relict guard that seems to be dormant in front of you.
"Dain just said that these ancient machines also originated from Kanria..."
Paimon's impression is that the ruin guards appear in various ruins, as if they are guarding something.
"Could it be that Kanria has a lot of ruins that need to be protected?"
"Nope. The name Ruin Guard was chosen by modern people based on modern impressions. Five hundred years ago, no one called them that. Dainsleif retorted Paimon's point of view and explained, "The machines now known as the Relic Guards were codenamed cultivators in Kanria. ”
"Cultivator? What a strange name. Paimon wondered, this name is not as good as One-Eyed Baby.
"This cultivator should not be the cultivator of farm tools as we think, but a kind of cultivator that plays a role on the battlefield, which means that in war, they destroy the enemy as if they were cultivating the land." Ying thought for a moment and said.
"That's right, the so-called cultivator is actually a code name, and the Kanria people would create a code name for weapons back then."
Dainsleib said this, turning his head to look at Ying, he felt more and more unable to see through Ying, as if Ying's vision was higher than he thought during this time, Ying's vision was even higher than he thought.
"The traveler's conjecture is similar to what the people of Kanria thought at the time, that the land was not ploughed with agricultural tools, but fought for with iron and blood. - Based on this concept, the cultivator was born. ”
"Iron and blood for land? The Kanriya people understand cultivated land in this way... It doesn't feel like a good thing. ”
Paimon's words caused Dainsleif to sigh, and he turned around, staring off into the distance, as if remembering something.
"After the fall of Kanria, these cultivators, who had lost their owners, were out of control."
"Wandering over a long period of time, gradually scattered to all corners of the Teyvat continent."
"It may be because of the same illness and sympathy with other ancient civilizations that have also perished, that they often reside in all kinds of ruins, dormant and sleep."
"Sounds pathetic."
Paimon's strange speech caused Ying to turn her head to look at her again, and she didn't know why she always felt that Paimon's focus was a little different from her own.
"Then we'll put an end to their suffering." As Ying spoke, she had already pulled out her sword.
"Okay, let's dig deeper. Those details don't mean much to you. With that, Dainsleib paused, turned to Ying, and said, "But whatever happened in the past, at least now they only have the part of the threat." Get rid of them all. ”
"Look at me, just a few abyssal mages."
"The glow is getting stronger." Paimon looked at Ying as she swam between the Abyss Mage and the Relic Guard, remembering that in the beginning, it would take a lot of effort for them to defeat an Abyss Mage or the Relic Guard.
"The Traveler has grown beyond my imagination, maybe she really can, I just don't know what her wishes are, if at first I would think that she would be on the side of the blood relatives, but now I can't be sure." Dainsleib looked at Ying as if he were chopping melons and vegetables, and the golden sword light in his hand shuttled among the monsters, and with each swing of the sword, a hilichurl fell.
"Alright, that's it!"
Watching the last enemy fall, Ying's face was not red and she said breathlessly, as if she had just warmed up once.
"Huh? The spell that came out of this abyss mage was... Could it be faith?"
Paimon discovers that one of the Abyss Mages hasn't been destroyed, and that there is a purple spell floating on his body.
Dainsleib squatted down, carefully observed the abyss mage and said, "Well, this aura is undoubtedly related to the Abyss Apostle. Since it's on the Abyss Mage...."
"Perhaps, there will really be information about their actions."
"Is the text above Kanria's? I don't understand. Ying said, pointing to the string of purple runes.
“… Use the faith of the enemy as firewood to bring glory to His Royal Highness the noble prince...", Dainsleif translated.
"The prince mentioned in this letter is him, right??"
Ying looked at Dainsleif, and although there was doubt in her tone, the result was very positive.
"—The Loom of Fate, the Prime Move."
Dainsleif didn't answer Ying's words, because in his opinion, since the other party had already decided, it didn't make sense for him to say it or not.
"They... Abyss, it seems, is executing a plan. The key words of the plan are... The loom of fate. ”
Ying didn't hear Dainsleif's answer, and she wasn't annoyed, and then under Dainsleif's gaze, Ying found a stone pier to sit on, and sat down under the surprised gazes of Dainsleif and Paimon.
Dainsleif: ."
Paimon said loudly, "Ying, what are you doing?!" ”
"No, you guys chat, I don't feel like I have any sense of existence. You go on. Ying waved her hand and said nonchalantly.
"Really," Paimon said with a huff in his chest, even though he usually speaks by himself, it's not because Ying doesn't like to talk.
"Ahem, it seems that it's still in the start-up phase, or rather, the initial trials are still underway..."
Dainsleif feels that Ying has a special personality, completely different from that one, and looks more free, maybe this is what it really means to be a traveler, not to be bothered by things, to experience everything in the journey with an optimistic attitude, and to treat everyone like this.
