Chapter 181: The Brave and the Dragon

Engami took the bridle from Ying's hand, and then said to Ying after a few pounds, "In this way, the bridle is activated." Take it to order the Great Day Imperial Opinion, and it should be no problem to lift the barrier. ”

"But for such a ceremonial thing, let's go to the outermost main gate of the Great Day Imperial Palace."

"The main entrance of the Great Day Imperial Shrine is in the southeast of its area, and you can always see it when you walk around the barrier."

Hearing Ensue's words, a series of words floated over Paimon's head: "??? ”

"Yuanxia Palace is surrounded by an abyss, and if you fall down, you may not be able to count to a hundred. You need to pay attention to your way through. ”

"Anyway, it's like I just said. If you can't find it, just walk around the barrier, and you'll always find me. I'm pretty much done researching here, and there's nothing I want here, so I'll go first. ”

Before Paimon could ask anything, Engami said this and left.

Paimon opened his mouth, "."

"What's going on with this guy on Enkami, why did he run away alone? I'm so! Paimon grumbled angrily.

"Forget it, let's move towards the Great Nippon Imperial Palace." Ying said with a sigh.

While hurrying away, Paimon asked Tassel, "Tassel, do you know anything about this Yuanxia Palace?" ”

Tassel replied, "I don't know." ”

"Huh? So decisive? Is it not known, or can't be said? Paimon wondered.

Tassel glanced at her and replied, "I don't know, it's not that I can't say." ”

"Okay." Paimon scratched his head and didn't ask again, since Tassel said he didn't know, he really didn't know.

"Ying, that key pattern, hurry up, let's collect it." Paimon suddenly pointed to the key pattern of the broken bridge in front of him and urged Ying.

Tassel asked a little confused, "What are you collecting this thing for?" ”

"This can activate the runes at a specific place in the Yuanxia Palace, and then get the treasure." Paimon replied.

"How long are you going to collect like this?" Tassel said as he looked at Paimon.

She hadn't collected this thing at all when she was playing the game, so she didn't want that little bit of rough stone!

Paimon scratched his head and said, "This, this"

"Forget it, I'll help you, get me a key pattern." Tassel said to Ying.

"Huh?" Although she didn't understand the tassel's behavior, Ying still took out a key pattern from her backpack and handed it to Tassel's hand.

In Ying and Paimon's field of vision, Tassel tosses the key pattern into the air.

"Wow, why did you lose the key pattern of the tassel, this is hard to find, although there are few treasures, but this is also a joy." Paimon said as he turned his head to look at the tassel with a confused expression.

"Paimon, don't talk, look." Ying said as she pulled Paimon.

"Huh? What's wrong? Paimon looked up suspiciously at Ying's gaze.

"Wow! What is this, a lot of key lines, all flew over! Paimon exclaimed.

Tassel said while exerting his divine power: "Yuanxia Palace is not big, filter and filter according to the breath and style of the key patterns, and you can pull all the key patterns that exist in the Yuanxia Palace." ”

"Tassel, you're so powerful, if you use this ability to find the pupil!" Paimon said with a look of surprise.

"Don't even think about it, find the Divine Pupil in the Teyvat Continent, don't tire me to death. But what are you looking for that pupil for? For the sake of the blessing of that little god? ”

Paimon listened to Tassel's words, and hurriedly pointed at Ying and said, "This, this, the main thing is that Ying can collect anything she sees, and besides, if you worship the god pupil to the god statue, you can get the blessing of the gods, and ordinary people can't find it." ”

"Obviously, you suggested that I go to find it, okay, why did it become what I wanted to find again?" Ying complained.

"Hehe, isn't that what you worked so hard to find before?" Paimon said with a snort.

"But it's also said that ordinary people can't see the Divine Pupil, so Ying's ability to see the Divine Pupil is still thanks to Paimon's credit." Tassel said with a smile.

Ying: "Paimon! ”

Paimon tilted his head and stuck out his tongue at Ying, "Hey! ”

"Okay, the keys should be all collected, you can put them away." After the tassel finished speaking, he slowly pulled a bunch of key patterns in the air in front of Ying.

"Thank you, Tassel." Ying said seriously.

Tassel waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, it's a gesture." ”

"Hmm." Ying put a large number of key patterns in front of him into his backpack, and the exploration of Yuanxia Palace was half completed.

Ying counted the key patterns collected by the tassels in the backpack as she walked, only to find that this was simply an astronomical number, more than the pupils, if you look for it yourself, you can't look for a few months, the most important thing is that you can't fly here frequently.

"Ying, we can fly, why do we have to walk at this time?" Paimon suddenly wondered.

"I don't know, but it feels like I should walk over like this, and it doesn't seem right to fly over." Ying scratched her head and said.

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Okay. ”

"However, what is under the Yuanxia Palace, it looks so terrifying." Paimon started looking for something to talk about again.

Tassel touched his chin and said, "It should be the abyss?" ”

"The abyss? Is the abyss really down there? Ying wondered.

"I guess, I just heard Yuanshang say that the bottom of the Yuanxia Palace is bottomless, and it can't fall to the ground for a long time, so I guess that there is an abyss below." Tassel explained.

"If it's really an abyss down there, isn't it the abyss order's lair down there?" Paimon wondered.

"Not the abyss of the abyss apostles, but the abyss towards the stars and the abyss, which is both the abyss and the path to the stars." Tassel spoke.

Paimon's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the tassel and said, "Huh?!" Are you sure? ”

"Paimon, what are you doing in such a surprise that you're surprised? It's all just speculation, do you really plan to go down there and have a look? Ying said helplessly.

"Hehe, I'm just thinking about it, after all, it looks dangerous down there, and I'm not going to try it." Paimon hurriedly said.

"Look, the one in front is not Enkami." Paimon said, pointing to the figure in front of him.

Ying replied, "It's Fuchigami, it looks like he's blocked by something." ”

"Then let's hurry up and ask, really, just ran so fast, it's not like you're waiting for us here." Paimon said happily.

Ying: "."

Ying feels that Paimon seems to be starting to feel wrong now, because Paimon will be very happy to see others eating deflated, and she doesn't know who taught this behavior.

When a few people approached, Engami said to Ying, "Oh, you're here." Let me do it for you. Can you please give me the bridle first? ”

Ying didn't hesitate to throw the bridle in her hand to Yuanshang: "Here you go." ”

Ying's refreshing behavior made Yuanshang stunned, Yuanshang didn't expect Ying to be so cooperative, and directly gave him the royal bridle, and he was ready to have a bitter love scene.

"Thank you." Engami thanked him verbally, turned his head excitedly, and prepared to use the imperial bridle to open the barrier in front of the Great Sun Imperial Palace.

When Engami did this, he suddenly thought of something, and said to the few people behind him: "However, you better stand farther away, after all, this is the first time I have done this kind of thing." ”

"For example?" Paimon wondered.

Engami explained, "For example, if you release the impact of the moment and knock you into the bottomless abyss, or if the stale air makes it impossible to breathe all of a sudden, or if the guardian dragon suddenly appears..."

"Or, in other words, cursed, become a monster that manipulates the fire element"

Paimon said with a look of horror, "Wow, that's scary. ”

"Ying, let's stand far away, if I really become a monster that controls the fire element, it will be bad, and then I will be destroyed by your sword!" Paimon said to Ying.

"It's okay, even if you become a monster that controls the fire element, it's okay, the gods will purify you." Yingrong said expressionlessly.

Paimon huffed and said, "Wow, the god you're talking about is the god body sword in your hand!" I don't want to be purified by it! ”

What Ying and Paimon didn't notice was that when the two of them talked about the gods that would purify you, Engami squeezed the bridle in his hand with his hand, and the green tendons on his hand erupted as if they were about to crush the bridle in his hand.

Hearing this, Yuanshang showed a self-deprecating but relaxed expression and sighed: "Huh, I'll just say, how can God be so good, it turns out to be a weapon called God." ”

Engami urged the royal bridle in his hand, and after a while, the barrier protecting the Great Sun Imperial Opinion quickly disappeared like a broken foam.

"Wow, it's the first time in my life that the seal of the monument has been lifted, and it's quite exciting." After doing all this, Yuanshang turned his head to a few people with an exaggerated expression.

"Watching such a large wall disappear is really a pleasure to set fire to the big library."

Listening to Engami's words, Paimon couldn't help but complain, "What you say is so dangerous, are you really a research investigator?" ”

"Ahaha, of course it is, I can't wait to investigate the inside of the Great Sun Imperial Palace, are there any unique ancient books?"

"I'll go first, if you have any treasures you want to loot, please feel free." After Engami finished speaking, he disappeared again.

"Hmm, what is Engami doing this for?" Paimon looked at the departing Engami and wondered.

Tassel glanced at Paimon and said, "You don't care about him, the scenery here is really good, but it's a pity that I didn't see a waterhole, otherwise it would definitely be a good fishing spot." ”

Listening to Tassel's words, Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Hey, there won't be any normal fish to catch here, right?" And, tassels, why do you like fishing so much? What's so fun about this. ”

"You don't understand, I explained it to you." Tassel shook his head, then looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and said leisurely: "This is not a fish, but a feeling." ”

Paimon: "."

"Let's go to the Great Sun Imperial Palace, I can't understand your feelings." Paimon said after a long pause.

Ying nodded and said, "Yes." ”

A few people followed the road, all the way to the feet of the Great Sun Imperial Building, looking at the hundred-meter-high tower, the "sun" on the tower stabbed a few people who couldn't open their eyes.

"It's spectacular." Paimon sighed.

"yes, I don't know if we can move this building." Tassel said as he touched his chin.

Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Your idea is so dangerous, how can you move such a big building!" ”

While a few people were talking, suddenly the voice of Engami came from the top of the Great Day Imperial Tower.

"Hey! Are you here? Come on! ”

"It seems that Yuanshang should have encountered some trouble that you need to solve, let's go over and take a look." Paimon said as he shook his hands at the screen.

Yuanshang said to the few people who came with a natural face, "I'm waiting for you." ”

"You now have mastered the Enxia Palace... No, the hub of the White Night Country. You can try touching this trap. Engami pointed to a stone platform in front of him and said to Ying, "I guess it must be an amazing experience." ”

Ying listened to Yuansue's words, and touched the mechanism in front of him, and suddenly, the glowing mechanism on the top of the Great Sun Imperial Shrine rotated rapidly, and suddenly, the light that illuminated the Yuanxia Palace disappeared instantly, and at this time, the luminous mechanism also stopped.

When the sky suddenly turned dark, a phantus suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Ghost, ghost!" Engami shouted.

"Wow!" Paimon was startled by Fuchikami, and then saw the blue phantom.

This made Paimon can't help but complain, "I wasn't scared by this ghost-like guy, but I was scared by Yuangami!" ”

Yuan Shang spread his hands and said, "Ahem, it's a shame." I, I've reacted. ”

"What, the attitude is really bad, there is no sincerity at all." Paimon said dissatisfiedly to Fuchigami with his arms folded.

"The White Night Country, because of its netherworld nature... Yes, there will be a projection of the remnants of the past. ”

"Although their story is over, their personality at that moment has been preserved. It can even react to you. ”

"This kind of overly strong emotion will be considered a perpetual sin."

Ying wondered, "Sin? ”

"Therefore this peculiar leyline phenomenon will be called the Shadow of Sin, or the Eternal Spirit."

After the enigami finished speaking, the phantom spoke: "So my appearance will be seen by the brave men of later generations, right? ”

"Uh-huh, I know I don't have to be too nervous. In the future, my afterimage will act on its own based on my current memories. ”

The phantom continued to himself, "But, I'm still so nervous. ”

"Oops my. Speak! Engami was surprised.

"Ah, it seems that the brave have arrived. Hello, my Watatsumi name is Aru, and the original name of the White Night Country is Argos. ”

"I'm in charge of communicating the next steps for the trial. That is to restore the bridle of resurrection and show the royal power of the White Night. ”

"The Reins of the Resurrection are heirlooms that can command the remnants of the Netherworld to speak, and they are made of the same materials as the Great Sun Imperial Palace."

"It needs to be further processed and assembled with the bridle as the core. Therefore, you also need to look for three more pieces. ”

Hearing this, Paimon couldn't help but speak, "Wow. And to find the fragments. ”

As if he hadn't heard Paimon's words, the virtual image continued, "Ah, if you have any questions, you can just ask. I'm sure the remnants of the spirits I've left behind will react. ”

"Do you like to eat emergency food?" Ying said.

"So, what is that." Aliu wondered.

Not only was Aru confused, but even Paimon had a question mark on his head.

"You can't be talking about me with this emergency food, right?"

Ying replied, "Be confident, it's you." ”

Paimon: "."

"Since there's nothing to ask, let's get back to business, three fragments, hidden in the sweeping key places that surround the Great Sun Imperial Palace, namely the Narrow Street, the Evernight Spirit Temple, and the Land of the Snake Heart."

Aliu continued: "My use of Tibetan characters is not an exaggeration at all. This group of officials who are responsible for arranging the trial is really good at tossing people. ”

Paimon crossed his hip with one hand and pointed at Ying next to him and said, "Well, it's hard to find when you hear it, but these trials will definitely not be difficult for our Ying, she's amazing." ”

Ying: "......"

During the discussion, Ying also obtained some useful information from Engami and Aru.

"You go and find the three pieces, I'll walk around here." After greeting a few people, Engami disappeared again.

"Tassel!" Paimon saw Fuchijo leave, and turned his head to look at the tassel next to him expectantly.

After Paimon finished speaking, Ying also looked at the tassel with an expectant look.

"Alas, help you, help you."

After the tassel finished speaking, she grabbed the void, and three pieces suddenly appeared in her hand.

"Wow, tassel, how do you know what a shard is?" Paimon wondered.

"Paimon, didn't the tassel help us find the key pattern before? Have you forgotten now? Ying couldn't help but say.

Paimon scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, yes, I forgot, I'm sorry, it's mainly because I've been too busy these days, and I just solved the problem of Heguan and came to Yuanxia Palace again, and I haven't recovered yet." ”

Ying listened to Paimon's words, and echoed thoughtfully, "Hey, me too, I also feel dizzy, but fortunately there are tassels, otherwise I don't know how long I will be tortured in the Yuanxia Palace." ”

"This, did you get the shards so quickly? Your abilities are truly amazing. Aliu said in surprise.

"I thought you could detect anything from the adventure, but it doesn't matter what I'm going to say next, please don't be shocked, the Bloodbranch Coral needs to be taken from a special deep-sea dragon lizard, and those deep-sea dragon lizards are just below this great sun."

"The deep-sea dragon lizard down there?" Paimon was surprised.

Aru explained, "The dragon lizards we kept below are specially adapted species that can suppress the blood branch coral fragments of the Watatsumi Grand Mijin without rejecting them. ”

"But because of these adjustments, they are also extremely powerful, and they should not be killed easily."

"At the end of all orthodox trials, the brave must defeat the evil dragon."

Ying muttered, "The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon. ”

"Ying, what are you talking about?" Paimon wondered.

"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional." Ying shook her head and said.

Before, when she was full of food and had nothing to do, she thought about what would happen if Sora really defeated the god in the sky, would she be waiting for her at the end of the journey, as he said?

Ying, who had been thinking about it for a long time, didn't understand, so on that day, she decided to ask Tassel.

"Well, I don't know if you've ever heard the story of the brave and the dragon." Tassel thought for a moment and said.

Ying nodded and said, "I've heard it, generally speaking, it's a story of a brave man defeating an evil dragon and then saving the princess, is there anything wrong here?" ”

"Then have you ever heard the saying that a dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon." Tassel continued.

"Why, how did the brave slay the dragon become an evil dragon?" Ying asked puzzled.

"If you think about it, why did the brave man slay the dragon?"

"Of course, it's the evil dragon that does evil, and someone has to stop it at this time, so there are brave men." Ying replied without thinking.

"Then think about it on a deeper level, the princess, the honor of the dragon slayer, the reward of the king, if it weren't for these, would you be willing to slay the dragon?"

"I think there should be, right?" Ying thought for a long time and said.

"Yes, there are, after all, Teyvat has also appeared so many people, or gods, all of them are worthy of admiration, but what if the dragon slaying succeeds? Power and wealth are at your fingertips, and Morax once said that wear and tear is a terrible thing. ”

Ying said, "You mean, the brave will also sink in this situation, losing themselves in the wear and tear of time. ”

Tassel smiled and replied, "yes, so, do you understand now?" Once the brave sinks, he will become the same monster as the evil dragon in the future, and he is even more terrifying than the evil dragon. ”

"But, but," Ying struggled for a long time and didn't think to refute the tassel's words.

"So, what you're going to do isn't be a brave man, you're not going to be a dragon, you just have to be yourself, understand?"

Ying listened to the tassel's words and was silent: "."

Ying thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "No, it's not that I want to be a brave man, my goal is always the same, what I'm asking now is empty things."

Tassel said lightly: "Then stop him from becoming a so-called brave man and pull him up from the abyss." ”

Ying nodded and said, "I understand!" ”
