Out of prudence, Sasuke withdrew from Teyvat for the time being.

After a day's rest, after Hitomi and Chakra recovered, he returned.

After Sasuke recovered his state, he removed the Rock Pillar Sealing Technique and roughly explained the reason why he was here.

However, he withheld Zhongli, Wendy, and Lingzhi's information, and only said that he had come to investigate this place on the orders of Seven Stars.

After listening to Sasuke's message, Dain fell into deep thought.

Not only because of the information given by the other party, but also because of the recovery of the other party's state.

Obviously, just a few minutes ago, the other party was still in a relatively weak state, and then he seemed to take a breath, closed his eyes, and suddenly returned to his peak.

He could feel that the other party still had the breath of the wind god and the rock god, could it be related to this?

Sasuke said that he was investigating on the orders of the Seven Stars, and deliberately withheld key information about the rulers.

It seems that this teenager is very cautious, and he is quite wary of himself, a stranger who suddenly appears.

Dain didn't choose to expose it, and he was wary of strangers, which is human nature.

He was also a little unable to see through the young man in front of him.

Although he disagrees with the theocratic system of the seven kingdoms on earth, now is not the time to care about these, judging from the current situation, the Abyss Order has a lot of hostility towards Sasuke, and the enemy of the enemy can be a friend.

Sasuke looked at Dain after saying what he had learned.

The meaning is also obvious.

It's your turn.

Facing Sasuke's gaze, Dain spoke after a little thought.

"What do you want to know?"

"Your identity."

"I've already introduced myself before, Dainsleif."

"It's more than that."

Sasuke shook his head.

"The portal you used when you came here is very similar to the one used by the Abyss Princess."

"Do you have anything to do with the abyss?"

Hearing this, Dain smiled.

"So that's what you mean."

"I think you've misunderstood, this teleportation ability is not the power of the abyss, but the technology of our Kanriya."

"And I've been fighting against the Abyss Order."

"Ying has only improved these, so it's not that I have a relationship with the Abyss, but rather that the Abyss Order...... It is inextricably linked to Kanria. ”

"Forget it, let's reintroduce myself."

"My name is Dainsleif, captain of the last court guard in Kanria, Sword of the Last Light."

"I didn't mean to hide it before, because this name was once bathed in the glory of Kanria."

"Now...... Kanria has all gone, and his former identity is more like a kind of irony, a curse. ”

"As the captain of the palace guard who witnessed the fall of his kingdom, I don't really want to mention this former name."

Dainsleif's words resonated with Sasuke a little.

He is also the last descendant of the Uchiha clan, and he will also be a little sensitive when someone once mentions the Uchiha clan in front of him.

It's just that...... The other party turned out to be a Kanria?

And the Abyss Order still seems to have a connection to Kanria?

He had never known that before.

"You said you've been fighting against the Abyss Order, and everything that happens here seems to be related to the Abyss Order, can you see something?"

Sasuke continued to ask.

Faced with Sasuke's question, Dain took a deep breath.

"I might not have been able to answer this question before I came here, but now that I've been here for a while, I have a general understanding."

"The weirdness of this place is ...... The environment here is weakening the effects of the curse. ”

"The effect of the curse?"

Sasuke asked.

"That's right."

"Kanria was destroyed five hundred years ago."

"And I, as a citizen of Kanria, have been able to live until now precisely because I have been cursed with immortality."

"For hundreds of years, the pain of the curse still haunts me and torments me every day."

"But when I got here, I felt a moment of respite in my body."

"At this moment, my body is also expressing a strong desire to stay."

Curse of the Immortals...... The last descendants of Kanria...... Strata Chasm...... Abyss Order.

Wait a minute......

Sasuke suddenly noticed that the clothes Dai Yin was wearing seemed to have a sign on his chest.

And this sign Sasuke has seen on other things.

Apostle of the Abyss.

The Abyssal Apostle's armor seems to have this similar emblem on it.

"Those Abyss Apostles, do they have anything to do with Kanria?"

"And your immortal curse, what's it?"

Sasuke asked suddenly.

His acumen surprised Dain a little.

"Oh? Did you even notice it? ”

"Do you know why hilichurls wear masks?"

Sasuke shook his head.

"Because they're all avoiding who they are now, afraid of their reflection in the water."

Dain's emotions fluctuated slightly as he said this.

"After all, it's too ugly and desperate compared to who they remember."

Hilichurl ......

Wait, the hilichurls that can be seen everywhere in Teyvat have something to do with Kanria?

Without waiting for Sasuke to ask, Dain continued:

"Five hundred years ago, the curse of immortality came upon us with the destruction of Kanria."

"Those who are not of pure blood will become hilichurls."

"Some of those pure-blooded Kanria people were able to keep their original appearance after being cursed with immortality, just like me, bearing the curse of immortality, while others who could not accept the curse of immortality threw themselves into the abyss and reformed themselves with that twisted power."

"The Abyss Apostle you once met, the Abyss Mage, are these people."

"Of course, not all hilichurls are changed by Kanria, because hilichurls are creatures that existed before Kanria existed, maybe they were cursed by the people who rebelled against the principles of heaven before."

"Heh......"

"As for the Immortal Curse."

At this, Dain paused.

"The Curse of Immortality has turned those former humans into hilichurls."

"The curse of immortality is actually ...... Nor is it truly permanent. ”

"Under the effect of wear and tear, the soul and body will still be consumed, even if not in the form of death."

"And it seems that the immortal curse can be weakened here, so it's no wonder that the Abyss Order would go to such great lengths."

"During my previous visit to Mondstadt, I discovered that the Abyssal teleportation network in Mondstadt had been cut off, and it was apparently their attempt to corrupt Dvalin that angered the Aeolas."

"And here, instead of being discovered by the rulers of Liyue, it has become a new stronghold for the Abyss Order......

"It seems that the Abyss Order has mastered a new power."
