Chapter 212: Nahida with an Intensified Reaction
"Tassel, this is." Nahida asked Tassel as she walked over to Tassel with her console.
Tassel heard Nahida's words, followed Nahida's movements and glanced at the game screen in her hand, and found that Nahida's plot had advanced to Sumeru, and some understood why Nahida asked this.
Tassel replied blandly, "This is a game." β
"I know, is the plot in this one true?" Nahida asked.
"I don't know, it's up to you to judge."
"But, but, you don't exist in this game?"
"Because I'm lazy, I don't want to put my own data into it, and if I do do it, I need to modify a lot of things." Tassel replied blandly.
Nahida: "."
"Well, this game isn't bad, right? Isn't Nahida in it cute? Tassel continued.
Listening to Tassel's words, Nahida wrinkled her little face and struggled for a while before she spoke: "That's not what I'm talking about, why am I so weak here, and I feel so stupid?" β
"No, it's your delusion, you must know that you are a god of wisdom, but you are smart." Tassel shook his head and said with a smile.
Nahida: "??? β
I feel like you're saying that I'm not smart, but I don't have proof.
"By the way, why didn't you go out today?" Tassel looked at Nahida, who was silent with a tangled little face, and changed the subject.
"Klee has returned to Mondstadt, saying that she hasn't been back for so long, and that she is going to stay there for a while." Nahida replied.
After listening to Nahida's answer, Tassel nodded and said, "I see, no wonder you have been staying at home quietly for the past few days and not going out." β
Nahida: "."
Looking at Nahida's tangled expression, Tassel reached out and hugged Nahida, let her sit on her lap and said to her, "Okay, don't tease you, what's the matter?" β
"Tassel, I feel like I'm so stupid in the game." Nahida said, pointing to the screen possessed by Catherine, who was trying to protect the people of Sumeru from the Doctor's control.
"Also, why is the traveler in the game so weak? Didn't she fight with Childe, Madam, and Shadow before, why couldn't she even beat an ordinary person when she arrived in Sumeru? As a result, Tighnari, Cyno, and the others he met all believed that she was an ordinary person with no elemental powers. β
Nahida found a comfortable position in Tassel's arms, leaned her head on Tassel's arms, picked up the game console with both hands, and continued to Tassel while controlling the traveler inside, "I have also met this so-called Chronicle of the Great Wind Cyno, and his strength is not as strong as the well-trained Millelith Army in Liyue right now. β
"Because that's how the plot is set." Tassel replied, "You've just wasted five hundred years, it's not a big problem." β
"Five hundred years, alas, why didn't I have the idea of escaping from Jingshan Palace at that time, what did I think at that time." Listening to Tassel's words, Nahida felt even more uncomfortable.
Looking at Nahida with a tangled face, Tassel rolled her eyes and said to Nahida, "You know what? Three hundred years ago, my idea was to find you, beat you up, and take you away by force, even if it was better than staying in that cage, but she wouldn't let me do it, saying it was arranged. β
Nahida: "."
When Nahida heard Tassel's words, she turned her head and glanced at Tassel faintly, Sure enough, you still want to beat me.
"Isn't that a lack of action? Don't look at me like that, it feels weird. Tassel stretched out his hand to hold Nahida's little face and turned her back and said, "And if you really saw you at that time, how could you go with me without some special means?" Even that consciousness was told to you for a long time before you came out on your own. β
"Well, I can't accept my previous self no matter how I look at it." Nahida listened to Tassel's words and whispered, "As you said, if it was me before, I wouldn't have survived a day in the Demon God War. β
Tassel nodded, "You know, so let go of your heart to help the world, you don't owe them anything, you just need to push things forward from behind, just like Mondstadt and Liyue are now, after all, it's not the time for the Daedric War." β
"Well, I'll try to be what you want me to be." Nahida nodded heavily.
"There's something wrong with what you're saying." Tassel shook his head.
Nahida wondered, "Huh? Why? β
"There's no why, think about it yourself." Tassel replied lightly.
Nahida: "."
After Tassel's words, Nahida also fell silent, she thought as she played the game in her hand, the plot of the phone flashed in her emerald green eyes, and as the plot deepened, her heart gradually sank to the bottom.
This kind of experience in the game is not what she wants, the Nahida in it is too naΓ―ve, and the things she hopes for in her heart are not the same as she is now, thinking of this, Nahida suddenly felt a little sympathetic to herself in the plot, the other party does not have the help of the Great Mercy Tree King and the tassel, no one can teach her how to become strong, even the other seven gods, Nahida in the plot does not know.
But in the same way, she is also glad that she is now, if there is no tassel, then she will repeat the same mistakes as herself in the plot.
Thinking about this, Nahida had some realization, the most important thing in walking in Teyvat is not the so-called wisdom, but the strength that is so strong that it makes people tremble, wisdom is just the icing on the cake, and wisdom without strength is nothing.
Looking at the plot of the game, the traveler and himself who were chased around by Sumeru's group of thirty people like a lost dog, and the self in the plot also looked at the so-called Sumeru people from time to time, revealing a compassionate look.
Seeing this, Nahida's teeth clenched involuntarily, angry at her weakness, and at the same time she also understood why Hazard dared to send troops against her that day, all because she was too weak, and as a god, weakness is the original sin.
Nahida's previous thoughts were all eliminated, and as her thoughts emptied, Nahida's mood slowly calmed down, and the outline of a door seemed to gradually appear in her mind.
Thinking of this, Nahida's original sympathy for the characters in the plot gradually became calm, as if she was watching the experience of a stranger.
"Huh?" Tassel sensed the change in Nahida.
"Are you going to lead her crooked?" The Great Mercy Tree King communicated to the tassel.
Tassel replied, "Isn't that good?" Of course that's good, or else you'd be just as stupid as you. β
"Ugh." Listening to the tassel's words, the Great Mercy Tree King sighed.
"Still sighing, if you have this time to sigh, don't hurry up and learn to master the power, how much of my ability have you mastered? I don't know anything, and I dare to touch the fish? Who gave you the courage. Tassel said mercilessly.
"Don't scold, don't scold, I've worked harder, you have too many abilities, and I can't control it." The Great Mercy Tree King replied with some discomfort.
She couldn't understand why both of them knew how to use the same skill, but they would be unskilled when they used it themselves, would there be a gap as a person? Thinking of this, the Great Cishu King was a little unacceptable.
After listening to the words of the Great Mercy Tree King, Tassel said with a tiger face: "Really, one or two will not let me worry." β
King of the Great Mercy Tree: "Ah, yes, yes! β
As soon as the words of the Great Mercy Tree King fell, suddenly, Tassel felt that the little cute Nahida's body in his arms suddenly emitted a burst of strong green light, just like the evolution of the elf, Nahida's body was also growing rapidly, until it became a body size about the same height as Ying, and then stopped growing.
Tassel: "??? β
In the Chasm.
Paimon listened to Ying's words and hurriedly explained to Dainsleif, who looked confused on the side, "Dain, don't listen to Ying's nonsense, how can this pool of water be drunk, she commissioned too much before, and now she has a little mental problem." β
After listening to Paimon's explanation, Dainsleib said to Paimon with a sudden expression, "I see, so it makes sense to say that the previous behavior of the previous traveler was there. β
Ying: "??? β
No, you're going to accept it? Paimon's words are so flawed that even I think it's outrageous when I hear it, don't you doubt it if you're suspicious by nature?
"Dain, what do you see this device under the pool, is it something left here by the Abyss Order?" Paimon asked.
Dainsleif replied naturally, "Frankly, I've never seen a device of this kind of construction, and it makes sense for you to think that it was placed by the Abyss Order. Well, what are they just doing?"
"This, you."
Ying Gang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Paimon: "Don't talk, I'm begging you, okay, I'll start talking now, you listen." β
Ying: "??? β
Hearing Paimon's voice ring out of her head, a series of question marks popped up on Ying's head.
Paimon continued, "I know what you're trying to say and what you're going to do, but it's never too late for you to go back when that's over, or how else will you fix it." β
Ying: "."
Listening to Paimon's words, Ying fell silent, silently stepped aside, took out her game console, and opened Genshin Impact II.
"What is this going on, Traveler?" Dainsleif looked at Ying's sudden behavior in confusion.
"Oh, that's a tool that can be used to record things, and this is the stuff that was recorded before looking it up." Pai masked replied with a blank face.
"Really?"
Speaking of this, Dainsleif glanced at the game console in Ying's hand a few times, but he couldn't see the image of the game console in Ying's hand clearly.
Click-click-click
Paimon was about to continue saying something when suddenly a voice came from around him.
"Wow! Scared me, those doors around are all open? β
Looking towards the place where the sound came from, I saw that the gate that had been closed before had all been opened, and the sound was also made by the sudden opening of the door.
Hafdan: "ββββ! β
Hearing the voice, several people looked at the place where the sound came from again, and the figure of Hafdan also appeared in front of several people again.
Paimon looked at the green knight who suddenly appeared and said, "Ah, it's the knight named Hafdan."
"Do you have something to say to me? Hafdan. Dainsleif asked Hafdan.
Hafdan: "."
Instead of answering, Hafdan turned and walked straight behind him.
"He's gone, but this time he didn't disappear suddenly." Paimon said, looking at the back of Hafdan's departure.
Dainsleif asked Ying and Paimon, "You're signaling us to follow him, how about you, are you coming?" β
"Ying?" Paimon asked at Ying, who was sitting on a stone playing a game.
Ying listened to Paimon's words, put away the game console and replied, "Let's go, let's go." β
Following the direction of Halfdan's departure, the few people walked a few steps before they found that it was hollowed out, and Paimon said to the people behind him, "Halfdan jumped from here, let's catch up too." β
Dainsleif listened to Paimon's words and jumped straight down.
Ying glanced back at the pool above her head again, and jumped down with a little helplessness.
Paimon: "."
After landing, Ying followed Paimon and Dainsleif all the way forward, just as she had seen before, and came across the hilichurl camp and the same flowers on her head as she wore on the hay.
"How can there be such a flower in such a deep underground?" Paimon looked at the flower in front of him and wondered, "Is it for the dead hilichurls?" β
"Haven't we met?" Ying said with some confusion.
Paimon nodded, "Huh?" When you say that, I feel familiar."
What are you talking about, Paimon, isn't that just the flower on my head? We've been together for so long, and you actually say that it's a little familiar?
Just when Ying was confused, Dainsleib explained, "It's Kanria's national flower, Intivat. It was once held in every corner of the land of Kanria. β
"Originally, the flower's flowering period was only two weeks. But if someone breaks it off and takes it away from the land of Kanria, the petals stop growing and become very hard. β
"It is not until you return to your native land that the flowering period becomes soft again and eventually becomes dusty..."
"Therefore, Intivat also symbolizes the wanderer, implying the tenderness of the hometown."
Listening to Dainsleif's words, Ying frowned and said, "This is the meaning of the flower on my head?" β
Paimon continued, "Ah! And then this flower appears here, that is."
Ying: "??? β
Something is wrong, something is wrong, starting with Inazuma, Ying has noticed that something is wrong along the way, and those who are traveling with her, including Kamisato Ayaka, have special feelings for herself, and Shenhe's state of being wrong makes Ying suspicious.
Normally, she was a woman, and after Mondstadt Liyue did these things, it was normal for men to feel other about her, but her own experience was completely different, and Xiao, Childe, Kamisato, and Thoma treated her like a good brother.
And Kamisato Ayaka, Shenhe, and Barbara have completely different feelings when they look at themselves, and combined with the game "Genshin Impact II" given by Tassel, Ying has a bold idea, that is, if she changes her identity with the air pair, such a plot will become logical.
In other words, he is the villain, and the void is the traveler, otherwise why would these problems occur? There are no flowers on the top of Sora's head, so Paimon doesn't pay attention to anything, plus Paimon's tone of voice is completely different from that of Tassels.
Thinking of this, Yingyin realized, and everyone except for the tassels treated her subconsciously as empty.
"Oh, interesting." With that, Ying removed the Intivat from her head and placed it next to the petals left behind.
"Ying, why do you have this flower too?" Paimon asked with some confusion as she watched Ying remove the flower from her head.
Ying replied lightly: "I don't know, it may have been picked up from, after all, we have traveled to so many places, and it is normal for some strange things to be there." β
Dainsleif listened to Ying's answer and said, "I see. β
Ying put the flower called Intivat, and after putting it away, she made a kneeling motion, and after a while, a memory appeared in her mind.
Here appeared the figure of the apostle of the abyss of the water system.
The Abyss Apostle looked at Sora, who was making the same action as himself at this time, and asked, "Your Royal Highness, you finally agreed?" β
He replied expressionlessly: "Devoted too much to the great cause of fighting against the principles of heaven, but forgetting the mission of restoring the country. β
"Indeed, I shouldn't have been so indecisive."
The Abyss Apostle spoke to him, "The device is about to be completed, waiting for your command, Your Highness." β
After listening to the words of the Abyss Apostle, Sora slowly stood up and asked him, "How sure are you?" β
"Theoretically, probably," the Abyss Apostle replied with some hesitation.
Sora sighed and said, "Forget it, even if it's only one percent hope."
"Aren't we the same, already in the abyss."
"For them, it's better to get back into the cycle as soon as possible than to live without dignity."
"Don't let them continue to carry ... Those unwarranted sins. β
The Abyss Apostle nodded, "Your decision is the lucky fortune of the Order. β
After the Abyss Apostle finished speaking, Sora walked in the direction of Ying, Yingying looked at Sora who was getting closer and closer to him expressionlessly, and the sword was still not drawn in the end.
"You seem to have seen something, you just drew your sword for a moment, so can you tell me about it?" Dainsleif asked at Ying.
Paimon chimed in, "yes, you seem to have been stunned for a long time. β
"I just saw the void." Ying replied.
Then, Ying told everything she saw bit by bit.
Dainsleif: "??? β
I thought you had seen something terrible, and you were ready to draw your sword, but you told me that you met your blood brother?
Listening to Ying's words, the expression on Dainsleif's face twitched slightly, and he was silent for a while before he analyzed: "Is this a wonderful link that only belongs to the Twins?"
"It sounds like they're trying to purify the curse with some device, which could be the same item we've seen before."
Speaking of this, Dainsleif asked earnestly at Ying, "And... He also mentioned the restoration of the country, right? β
"Yes, he said this is his mission. β
"This stubborn guy really hasn't given up yet." Dainsleif muttered, "It seems that the Order plans to use this location to cleanse the hilichurls of the curse and restore them... Thus serving as the foundation for the restoration of Kanria. β
"After all, there is no country without a citizen."
Listening to Dainsleif's words, Ying asked, "Do you think it's possible?" β
"Hmph, it's so ignorant that there's not even a one percent chance." Dainsleif snorted coldly and continued:
"I should have said that as someone who has lived with the curse for five hundred years, no one understands it better than me... There is no salvation. The curse is irreversible. β
"If you forcibly remove the curse, you will get nothing but pain."
"So, stay awake and keep telling yourself that those are not human anymore."
"If you are obsessed with this and invest too much emotion, you will only fall deeper and deeper... Eventually, like them, they fall into the sludge called hypocrisy. β
Speaking of this, Dainsleib couldn't help but sigh again and said, "Let's put our minds on something more worthy of saving." β
"But why should I believe you?" Ying said.
"Haha. That's right, too. We are nothing more than an employment relationship, and he is your blood relative. Listening to Ying's words, Dainsleib said without surprise: "You choose to stand by his side, it is reasonable, there is indeed no problem." β
"Whatever choice you make, it won't shake my heart. Stopping the abyss is the path I have identified, and if we can't reach a consensus, then we might as well leave it at that..."
"You're wrong, and I didn't choose to be on his side." Before Dainsleif could finish speaking, Ying interrupted, "No one can make a choice for anyone else, and Sora is no different, so I don't agree with his actions." β
"Oh?"
Listening to Ying's words, Dainsleib turned his head in surprise: "It seems that the three questions I asked you at the beginning are not meaningless, you have found a unique way to look at the world." β
"Now that you've revealed your true thoughts, I'm not going to keep it a secret." Dainsleif continued: "Frontally, I care more about -"
"The Abyss must not be allowed to trample on Hafdan's last wishes with such arbitrary behavior."
Ying opened her mouth and replied, "It's okay, I'll help you, it's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, don't worry." β
Dainsleb bowed his head and said, "The abyss may appear at any time, stay vigilant and keep going." β
As the group was walking forward, Dainsleif was thinking back to what Ying had just said, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, because Ying's answer was somewhat unexpected, and coupled with what Ying had done before, he had a very bad premonition.
So he hesitated for a moment, and asked Ying in a slightly puzzled tone, "Wouldn't your method also be purification?" β
Dainsleif's words made Ying fold her hands on her hips, tilt her head high and look at Dainsleif with her nostrils and said, "That's right, my idea is to use the Divine Flame to purify everything, including the Abyss Order. β
Dainsleif: "??? β
