Chapter 211: Can You Drink the Water in This Pool?
As soon as Dainsleif's words fell, the Black Snake Knight standing on it disappeared.
"Disappeared"
Paimon asked, "What's the matter, that Black Snake Knight!" Is there something you want to say? ”
"How... Without that, how can we remain self-conscious for 500 years..."
Dainsleif didn't answer Paimon's doubts, but fell into thought.
"There's also a caring, inexplicably familiar atmosphere"
Ying said, "He knows you. ”
Hearing Ying's words, Dainsleif shook his head and said, "In such a desperate catastrophe, this miracle should not have been born. Let's just think it's a coincidence. ”
"Let's move on, in the direction of that city."
After Dainsleif finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the upside-down city, followed by Ying and Paimon.
"There's a strange force nearby that's stopping us from moving forward, and it's about to be decrypted again?" Paimon looked at the purple transparent barrier in front of him and said to the two people next to him.
Dainsleif began, "Don't waste time. ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and a blue-black power appeared in his hand, and under this force, the barrier in front of him quickly melted like a punctured foam.
After doing all this, Dainsleif said, "Kharenria's technique, the breath of the power of the abyss. It couldn't be more familiar. In my eyes, these things are nothing more than illusory bubbles. ”
"I see! Sure enough, the Abyss Order is trying to hide some secret, right? Paimon spoke, "But does this upside-down city have anything to do with Kanria?" ”
Dainsleif replied, "I am afraid that there is no necessary connection, and the closer I go, the more certain I am that these ruins are of an even more ancient civilization." ”
"It's just that the Abyss Order got the first step."
"An even more ancient civilization? I can't imagine it. After listening to Dainsleif's words, Paimon thought hard for a moment and gave up.
"But the structure here does bear some resemblance to the kanriya of the past, well... It's going to be more like it. ”
Dainsleif continued: "Let's go, there's a light ahead, let's go. ”
Ying followed Dainsleib to a broken room, from which the light emanated, and several Black Snake Knights were already waiting in the room.
Paimon exclaimed, "Ah, Black Snake Knight! ”
"Are they guarding something here?"
"Perhaps, the secret that the Abyss Order wants to hide is here, let's defeat them first."
"It's a bit much, but now that the data has been collected, then." Speaking of this, Ying took out her divine body transformation sword.
Urging the combat skills belonging to the Divine Body Transformation Sword, the golden flames appeared on the Divine Body Transformation Sword again.
"Huh?"
Dainsleif noticed the golden flames that appeared on the sword that pierced through the air last time, and this flame made him feel a burning sting from afar, as if he was close to the sun, and the intense discomfort made him frown involuntarily.
After Ying finished preparing, he swept forward, and the figure of the Black Snake Knight instantly dissolved the moment it came into contact with the golden ripple flames.
"That's it, let's go." Ying said to Dainsleif.
"You, what kind of weapon is this?" Dainsleif asked.
Ying opened her mouth and replied, "The divine body turns into a sword." ”
"Divine body sword? Literally, this is a weapon made from the body of a god? Dainsleib said with a frown.
Paimon explained, "Yes, it's said that the material is made from a branch of Teyvat's largest tree. ”
"A branch of Teyvat's largest tree?" Dainsleif's eyes twinkled as he listened to Paimon's words, as if he knew something.
Paimon wondered, "Dain, what's wrong?" ”
Dainsleif shook his head and said, "It's okay, if it's that tree, it really has such a strong power." ”
"Oh~" Paimon nodded, not knowing if Dainsleib understood it or not.
"Ying, there's also a Black Snake Knight over there." Paimon said to Ying.
Ying said, "Because this skill can only clear half of the place, and if you go over there, you can completely clear it." ”
Black Snake Knight: "————!! ”
Several Black Snake Knights raised their weapons and pointed at a few people, shouting loudly, but Ying couldn't understand a word.
"Wait, they didn't rush over, are they threatening us?" Paimon looked at the Black Snake Knight who was yelling at several people in front of him and analyzed.
"These Black Snake Knights seem to be holding something behind them"
Black Snake Knight: "————!! ”
"What do you care about so much, under the glorious baptism of the holy attribute, everything is like a bubble, and it will be broken at the touch of a button." After Ying finished speaking, the sword in his hand rose into golden flames again.
"Wait a minute, they seem," Dainsleif's words hadn't finished before the energy in Ying's hand had been swept out.
"What's wrong?" Ying looked at Dainsleib next to him with a puzzled expression and said, "What you said is too slow, after the skill is triggered, I can't interrupt." ”
Black Snake Knight: "!! ”
Seeing the golden flame ripples swept out by Ying, the Black Snake Knight was all stunned for a while, and the weapons in his hands were also put down, as if they were waiting for death?
The moment the ripples came into contact with the Black Snake Knight, as they had experienced before, the figure of the Black Snake Knight was once again engulfed by the golden flames, and even the things they were guarding behind were swallowed by the golden flame ripples.
Paimon spoke, "The one in there, the hilichurls?" ”
As the golden flames spread behind them, Paimon could see what was inside, a few hilichurls who were sitting or lying motionless, with black flames on their bodies, but the hilichurls inside were quickly consumed by the golden flames created by the Divine Body Sword.
Sure enough, these Black Snake Knights have nothing to do with the secrets of the Abyss Order. Hmph, I should have guessed a long time ago. Dainsleif said expressionlessly as he looked at the Black Snake Knights who were engulfed in golden flames and the hilichurls that flashed behind them.
"So, what happened to the hilichurls before?" Paimon asked.
"As I said before, this is the end of the hilichurls."
"Becoming old, photophobic, and even becoming one with the darkness, the curse continues to eat away at them. ”
"But why, these Black Snake Knights guard them like that?"
Black Snake Knight: "————!!! ”
Just as Ying was about to complain about Paimon and start acting again, the voice of the Black Snake Knight came from behind her again.
Paimon said to Ying, who was holding the sword next to him, "Ying, the Black Snake Knight is going to surround him again!" ”
Black Snake Knight: "————!!! ”
"Then sweep it again." Ying said as she stared at the group of Black Snake Knights who had re-arrived in front of her.
Just as Ying raised the Divine Body Transformation Sword in her hand again and used her skills on the newly appeared Black Snake Knight.
The black snake knight in green armor who I saw last time walked out quickly and said to the group of black snake knights below, "————! ”
"It's the guy in front!" Paimon said in surprise.
Hearing the voice of the green-armored black snake knight, the black snake knights below all glanced at Ying, and then quickly left here.
"They all backed away. Could it be that the knight who gave the orders just now? ”
"Halfdan?" Dainsleib said, looking at the Black Serpent Knight above.
The Black Snake Knight in Green Armor: "."
Is that so. If that's the case, it's a bit sad. Listening to the words of the Black Snake Knight, Dainsleib said with some emotion.
"Dain?" Paimon asked, a little confused, whether in the game or in reality, she couldn't understand the words of these Black Snake Knights.
Hearing Paimon's voice, Dainsleif turned his head and said, "You want to know why they stayed here to guard those hilichurls, right?" ”
"That's because, to these Black Snake Knights, they're just doing their duty."
"I just recognized it, and I just drank the other knights'... It is the young elite of the palace guards of the past. Its name is Hafdan. ”
Dainsleif turned around, closed his eyes, and said with a look of remembrance, "I vaguely remember that on the day of the Kanria Cataclysm, as the Sword of the Last Light, I rushed to the palace and asked the knight named Hafdan."
"[Tell all the Black Serpent Knights, no matter what, to protect the people of Kanria.] 】”
With that, Dainsleif opened his eyes and turned to Paimon again, saying to Ying and Paimon, "Truly, we have the title of the palace guard. But in the face of that kind of catastrophe, the royal family, celebrities, commoners... These identities have lost their meaning. ”
"In the face of the power of the gods, there is only the identity of the Kanria on the earth."
Ying: "."
Ying looked at Dainsleif at this time, and for some reason, she didn't feel any emotion in her heart, as if she was listening to a story, or that she had learned about it from another channel before.
Seeing Ying's silence, Dainsleif continued, "Perhaps in the hearts of these Black Serpent Knights who have lost their minds, they are still fighting to protect the people of Kanria. ”
"Think of this ruin as a disaster of Kamria, and those hilichurls as people who are asking for help..."
"As I've heard... What they keep roaring in their mouths is not a warning to others. ”
"And what are they talking about?" Paimon asked in a whisper.
"It's hard to tell, but I can tell it's a quick escape in the ancient Kamriya language."
Listening to Dainsleif's words, Ying added, "They shouldn't have been talking to us, right?" ”
Dainsleif explained with some emotion: "Even I have to admit that this will is so tenacious that it has not been erased for five hundred years... It's a miracle born of despair. ”
"So, didn't I misunderstand them?" Paimon listened to Dainsleif's words and said with some sorrow.
Ying: "."
Paimon, if your emotions are more real, maybe I'll believe it too, you didn't say that when you played the game before, what you said was, 'These Black Snake Riders are so annoying, can you die quickly?' ’
Dainsleif shook his head and said, "Nothing. Even I saw them as enemies for a moment. ”
"Go ahead where there's a light up there, the Black Snake Knights shouldn't stop us."
Speaking of this, Dainsleib glanced at the silent Ying next to him again, and he felt more and more that something was wrong with the Ying in front of him.
At first, he didn't have such a strong feeling, and after a few contacts, he was chatting with the little thing in front of him, while Ying was like a spectator, indifferently watching everything that happened here.
She didn't have mood swings, nor did she empathize with anything that was happening, just as she had raised her weapon against the Black Serpent Knights and the defenseless hilichurls with a nonchalant expression.
Just like now, even if the other side learned the true situation of the matter, her face did not change at all, and there was not even a trace of pity for these unfortunate people in her flat eyes, as if she was like a god in heaven.
Ying's transformation made Dainsleif very uncomfortable, originally thought that the other party would be a person who struggled like himself, but he didn't expect the other party to secretly become a god when he didn't know it.
If Ying knew what Dainsleib was thinking at this time, he would definitely sneer disdainfully, what is there to resonate with me about these stories of yours, and I am not a compassionate Virgin, can you still expect me to save Kanria?
Not to mention that Ying has never lived in Kanriya at all, even if she has lived, she is ashamed of Kanria's behavior, and after making a cultivator, she uses the blood of innocent people to expand Kanria's territory, this kind of country cannot last long.
The function of the cultivator is definitely not for the gods, Ying knows that no matter how many of these small cultivators are, they are like toys in the eyes of the seven gods she encounters, and even the giant ones only have some influence on the gods.
It is conceivable that the purpose of the large-scale ruin guards was to slaughter other people, the believers under the gods that Kanria hated.
Ying followed behind Dainsleif, and she knew that Dainsleif was a very important character in the main storyline, and she could learn a lot from the plot of "Genshin Impact II", and some things had to be triggered by him.
But I'm completely different from the traveler in the plot.,What I'm doing now is completely out of the plot.,Although the main plot is still being corrected by an unknown force and the next Paimon.。
But this kind of correction is not as stable as before after all, she thought of this and glanced at the remnants of the dark purple power underground again, she really wanted to go down and absorb these powers, and then she could increase her strength a lot.
But Dainsleif is still here, in order not to seriously derail the plot later, she still resists the desire in her heart and follows Dainsleib silently.
Paimon said as he flew, "There's really no Black Snake Knight behind me." ”
After Paimon finished speaking, it was another long silent journey, and this silent atmosphere made her a little unbearable.
So she turned to Dainsleif and said, "Dain, why don't you speak?" ”
Dainsleif replied, "Nothing, just thinking about something." Are you trying to comfort me? You don't have to. ”
"Humph! Okay."
Hearing Dainsleif's words, Paimon snorted angrily, and then stopped trying to deal with Dainsleif.
"Ying, what are you thinking? I didn't talk all the way. Paimon turned to Ying.
"I'm wondering if I'll run into unexpected monsters here, so I can make a lot of money again." Ying replied, rubbing her chin.
"Hmm, okay." Listening to Ying's words, Paimon spread his hands helplessly.
As Paimon's words fell, the group fell silent again, and Paimon didn't bother to find any more topics, but instead wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and go home to play the game.
Ying is thinking about when Dainsleif will leave, she is a little impatient for the energy below, and Dainsleif is thinking about whether the current Ying is still the one before? Will they have completely stood on God's side, or will the other party have begun to become a member of God?
Thinking of this, Dainsleif's brows furrowed even deeper, because Ying is a force outside the world, and he can use this external force to negate and interfere with the entire world, in his opinion, if Ying is assimilated, this world is estimated to be over.
A few people followed the road to the room in the center of the top, and saw a pool of glowing water flowing above their heads, obviously the pool was full of water, but it did not fall from the place above their heads, but flowed quietly on it.
"Look, there's a pool up there, and this pool is upside down, and it's amazing." Paimon looked at the pool above him and asked Dainsleif, "Do you know what's going on with this pool, Dain?" ”
"The pool seems to be one with the whole city, and it must be a remnant of an ancient civilization." Dainsleif glanced at the pool above him and explained to Paimon, "The point is... I think that's where the effect of weakening the curse comes from. ”
"Being in this place makes your body feel more peaceful than ever. I think it's more intense than before, and I think it's probably because the water has a similar purifying effect. ”
Listening to Dainsleif's words, Paimon also intuitively felt some of the energy in the pool, and asked him, "Purification?" Would that be... What if the water in that pool could purify the curse completely? ”
Dainsleif shook his head and said in denial: "Impossible. ”
"So sure? I feel like this water has some effect. Paimon wondered.
Dainsleif replied lightly, "I have remained awake and cursed for five hundred years. No one knows the curse better than I do. ”
"It is the causal level of this world, and the curse of the gods is even higher than the human race itself in person."
"I can feel that the curse is constantly infiltrating everything about me, becoming a part of me, and even gradually replacing me."
After listening to Dainsleif's words, Ying once again took out the Divine Body Transformation Sword and said to Dainsleif, "Do you want me to give you a sword?" This sword is still very useful for removing things other than life. ”
"No, my current curse is already very deep, if this sword really has the ability to remove the curse, then I estimate that it will be swallowed up by the golden flames emitted by this sword, just like the hilichurls and black snake knights before me."
Dainsleif hurriedly said after hearing Ying's dangerous thoughts, for fear that this wrong traveler would give himself a sword as he did last time when he faced the sky.
Sora was not affected much, but he was greatly affected, even if this sword went down, it was almost like death.
"Oh, forget it." Ying was a little disappointed to hear Dainsleif's answer.
Dainsleif: ."
"But is the water from this pool above you drinkable? I feel like the water should be delicious. Ying looked curiously upside down above her head, in a pool of real water, and the water in the pool exuded an unknown energy.
However, she felt that the unknown energy emanating from this pool was of great benefit to her, and the thought of this made her involuntarily lick her lips, which were dry from longing.
