"Yes." The fox-faced shrine maiden Kazari nodded slightly.

"Since you don't want to say it, let me hear if you need help?"

The explanation of the shrine maiden in front of her was a little vague, and Yae Miko couldn't get more information, and she couldn't guess her identity for a while.

Li Qiuzhi didn't explain how he knew Kazari's identity because he couldn't explain it, so he didn't explain it for the time being, and he had to find a suitable time.

"There is a 'town object' in this fox-shaped statue, which can be taken out by driving the thunder element, and after taking it out, I would like to ask you to investigate the barrier of Konda Village."

Kazari spoke calmly.

"The barrier of Konda Village, I remember that there is indeed an enchantment under Konda Village, and that barrier is used to protect the roots of the god Sakura, is there something wrong with it?"

Yae Miko asked suspiciously, holding her arms.

"As the Miyaji of the Narukami Taisha Shrine, you should know that the Thunder Sakura has the ability to purify the leylines, but the roots of the tree used to channel the pollution of the leylines will be blocked by filth over the years.

"That's when it needs to be purified."

Kazari, wearing a white fox mask, replied.

"Oh? Has it come to this point?"

Yae Miko naturally understands the function of the divine cherry tree, but recently because of the worry about the shadow, in order to prevent Inazuma from going to the dark future, she also ignored these for a while.

"Speaking of which, it must not be easy to know the identities of these people, it stands to reason that except for the shrine maidens of the Narujin lineage, there are no other witches who understand, right?"

A new question was born in Yae Miko's heart, and Kazari felt more and more familiar to her, she must be someone she once knew.

But she's just an ordinary shrine maiden, and there's really nothing special about it except for the mask.

It made her wonder if it was her own delusion.

"Hey, is Kazari someone Miyaji-sama familiar with?" Hearing Yae Miko's words, Yoimiya looked at the fox-faced shrine maiden with some surprise.

Li Qiuzhi felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to guide Kazari's true identity.

So he said:

"Miss Kazari, I've been exposed to the dark power of the abyss, and the feeling you give me seems to be a bit similar to that feeling."

He didn't lie, in Li Qiuzhi's perception, although the flower scatter in front of him was an entity, it didn't have a feeling of being a human being.

According to Kazari's own description in the original book, she was condensed by the thoughts and memories of the Fox Palace plus the filth of the abyss.

And the ethereal things like memories and thoughts are still completely different from the soul, more similar to an obsession.

At that time, the Fox Palace was about to be swallowed by the abyss, and the trace of will that was preserved by barely begging for the abyss was naturally impossible to be strong enough to retain the entity.

Therefore, if nothing else, Kazari's body at this time should have been condensed from the filth of the abyss, so it has an entity.

Her consciousness has been able to continue for so long, and it should be maintained by these filths, which are probably closely related to the filth of the god Sakura.

Therefore, in the plot of the game, after the traveler successfully purified the filth of the god cherry tree, Kazari also lost the filth that maintained the existence of consciousness.

Naturally, the remaining thoughts and memories have no energy to maintain, so they naturally dissipate.

"yes, so you can find out." Kazari was a little surprised.

Although she is only the filth of the thunder cherry tree, she is also the filth that has inherited all the memories of the Lord of the Fox Palace, and she can barely do it to hide her identity.

Unexpectedly, she was seen by an inconspicuous young adventurer, and since this was the case, she thought for a moment and felt that there was no point in concealing it.

Otherwise, they would have been suspicious, and the work of purifying the Thunder Sakura would have been more difficult.

She no longer concealed it, and slowly opened her mouth to explain her origin clearly:

"Hundreds of years ago, a catastrophe struck Inazuma, and the power of darkness ravaged the land, and the lives of Narukami Island were devastated.

"An adult named Kitsunaya Shrine sacrificed himself to protect the people of Narujin Island, and I was condensed by the influence of that adult's memories and thoughts."

Filth influenced by the memories and thoughts of the Fox Palace? So the essence of Kazari is just filth, and it doesn't have much to do with Kitsune?

Li Qiuzhi was a little surprised, it seems that even if there is a game plot as a reference, it will make mistakes when interpreting it.

"You're saying you're filth, aren't you asking us to clean ourselves up?"

Yoimiya said in surprise.

"The existence of filth in the world is not good, and since I was born according to the will of that adult, it is only natural that I should fulfill my final duty."

Kazari said, wearing a mask.

No wonder she felt familiar, and she actually had such a connection with Lord Fox Palace, and Yae Miko was also a little stunned at this time.

"But, as Yoimiya said, since you were born from the filth of the sacred cherry tree, then if we clean up the filth of the sacred cherry tree, you will disappear too, right?"

Li Qiuzhi looked at the flowers.

"Disappearing is not really disappearing, as long as I am still in your memory, it will continue forever."

Kazari is affected by the memories of Kitsunemiya, and the only thing she wants to do is clean up the filth, and she never cares if she will disappear.

However, according to Kitsune's memories, she also learned that humans have emotions, so she tried to avoid telling the fact that she would disappear after cleaning up the filth.

When Li Qiuzhi had a plot, he was still a little uneasy about the disappearance of Kazari, even if she was not a fox palace, he wanted to avoid her disappearance as much as possible.

But it was hard to say, so he found a reason and said:

"Well, that Fox Palace is a dependant of the God of Thunder, her memory is very valuable, it's a pity to disappear like this, I have a way to clean up the filth of the Divine Sakura Tree, so that you don't disappear, are you willing to stay?"

But my existence is only to clean up the filth of the thunder cherry tree, and when the cleaning is completed, I will have no meaning to continue to exist, and the memory of the deceased should also be attributed to the deceased."

Kazari shook her head and said.

She was not afraid of perishing, and she should not continue to exist as a filthy person.

After seeing that Li Qiuzhi was troubled by human emotions and wanted to find a reason for her to continue to exist in the world, she refused without hesitation.

This body is filthy, and the meaning of existence in this world is to die.

“.” Unexpectedly, he was rejected all of a sudden, and now Li Qiuzhi was silent for a while, there was no way, and he then said:

"But since you want us to do something, then you have to pay something, you have the memory of the Fox Palace, then you must know the spells she has mastered or something.

"What a pity if they disappear completely with your disappearance, you can write them down and give them to us as a reward, how about leaving a legacy for the Fox Palace?"

Hearing Li Qiuzhi's words this time, Kazari also fell silent a little, when it came to compensation, she really didn't have anything to do except the memory of Lord Fox Palace.

And she looked at Yae Miko and thought to herself, this Yae Palace Division is the descendant of Lord Kitsune Palace, and it is not bad to hand over some of the unique inheritances of Lord Kitsunaya Palace to her.

Kazari thought for a moment and nodded slowly:

"In that case, there's no problem, before disappearing, I'll leave you some of the inheritance of Lord Fox Palace."

"Okay, then you can take us directly to the polluted place, as for the 'town things', you don't need to take it, I have an easier way to get rid of the filth."

Li Qiuzhi nodded and said.

As long as there is a will to stay, as long as his ability has not completely disappeared, there is basically nothing he can't save.

As for how to deal with those filth, then naturally ask Ying to help!

The filth of the Divine Sakura Tree is the power left behind by the abyss, and the forbidden knowledge pollution of the World Tree, as well as the Dead Realm and the Black Mud, are probably similar things.

And Ying has the purest power of the abyss, and if she wants to solve these filths, there should be no problem.

It is even said that he obtained from Shenhe's favor skill "Goddess Wuchen", which may also be able to achieve the effect of purifying filth.

But he hasn't tried this plant like the Divine Sakura Tree, and he doesn't know if it will work, and the description of the skill is to give the "Divine Maiden Dustless" status to the "target":

This "target" does not stipulate that it must be human, and Li Qiuzhi feels that it should be able to be used on the divine cherry tree without accident.

That's why he's so confident.

"Okay, let's try it." Kazari nodded slightly, anyway, they had waited for such a long time, and it wouldn't take much time for them to try it with Li Qiuzhi.

Yae Miko was also a little relieved to see that Li Qiuzhi had successfully flickered Hanasari, she had the memory of Lord Fox Palace.

It's barely half of the Fox Palace, and emotionally speaking, she doesn't want Kazari to disappear like this.

[Yae Miko has a favorable impression of you, gaining 320 opinion points, and the current friendship level is 8 (600/800)]

Looking at the prompts that popped up on the character panel, Li Qiuzhi probably guessed why Yae Miko had a good impression of him.

Through the introduction of the game's plot, we know that Kitsune Palace takes great care of Yae Miko when he was a child, and it is not surprising that he can save Kazari, who has the memory of Kitsunaya, to improve his goodwill a little.

In other words, if you can really save the fox palace himself, maybe it will increase your favor.

But if you want to save a person who has already died, unless the Fox Palace seems to be dead or Heulia still has some consciousness remaining.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to revive her out of thin air.

As a dependant of the Thunder God, Fox Zhai Palace may not reach the level of the Demon God in terms of strength, but it is naturally not difficult to leave a little consciousness.

But whether to stay, if it is left, where is very important, and Kazari has the memory of the Fox Palace, maybe she knows where the Fox Palace will have the meaning to stay.

After all, the Fox Palace followed the thunder god, and there was a high probability that there were many demons that it had dealt with, and in case some of them were difficult to kill and annihilate, they could only be sealed up and consumed with time.

That might also leave some consciousness guarded like the end, so as not to go wrong.

If that's the case, he will have a way to save the Fox Palace. Li Qiuzhi's mind was racing.

Then, while he was thinking, Kazari had already said the specific location of the root system of the god cherry tree, that is, the thunder cherry tree in her mouth.

Yae Miko also knew that place, so with a light slap of his palm, the release of demonic power made the space turbulent like ripples of water.

In the next instant, several people disappeared in place, leaving only the stone statue in the shape of a fox standing as usual.

The space seemed to change, and Li Qiuzhi blinked and found that he had come to a relatively dark underground space.

When he and Ying and Paimon were heading from the outlying islands to Inazuma Castle, they passed by Konda Village and met Yoimiya, and when they set off together.

I also came to the underground space of Konda Village to take risks to clean up monsters, but at that time I was exploring the past in the direction of Inazuma Castle.

I didn't find this place, otherwise I might have had a chance to meet Kazari at that time.

"Look ahead, that's the root system of the Thunder Sakura tree." Kazari said to Li Qiuzhi and the others, his face in a fox mask facing forward.

Li Qiuzhi looked in the direction she was looking at and found that there was a lilac enchantment in front of her, and the purple light of the enchantment illuminated the entire underground space.

It is also the only source of light in the underground space.

"According to the original steps, we need to unravel the barrier first, and then arrange the 'Divine Sakura Purification' to purify the filth, but now. It's up to you. ”

Kazari turned his face in a fox mask at Li Qiuzhi.

"Naturally, I've never been a person who talks big things, so let's wait a minute." Li Qiuzhi's face, which is more in line with human aesthetics, showed a slight smile and said.

He used the remote communication ability of "Star Travel" to contact Ying, who was far away in Sumeru, and asked her to take the time to come over.

The reason why I didn't use "Goddess Dustless" immediately is mainly because if this skill can work, it will be able to purify all the filth at once.

But he wondered if he could let Ying come over first, if she could master this kind of filthy power, maybe she would be able to replace the filth of the god Sakura tree and maintain Kazari's existence.

If it doesn't work, then you'll have to ask Kazari to go to the fairyland space.

However, he would never allow a more negative force to enter the fairyland space, and filth was obviously such a force.

Kazari obviously didn't have any ill will towards him, but the nature of this energy might passively affect everyone in the space.

So it's better to be cautious.

Of course, there is also a way to use the "Goddess Dustless" on Kazari to remove the filth from her body and only retain her consciousness, and then take it to the fairyland space.

In this way, she should be able to save her perfectly, but then she will have no substance, and she may become the state where Heulia has not yet woken up.

In this case, if you want to regain consciousness for a long time, you have to ask Kazari for her opinion if you use this method.

And he hadn't asked Kazari if there was anything like consciousness left in the Fox Palace.

Can't let her fall asleep so quickly......
