Chapter 214 Is the Water in This Pool Drinkable?
As soon as Dainsreb finished speaking, the Black Snake Knight standing on it disappeared.
"Disappeared"
Paimon asked: "What's going on, that Black Snake Knight! Does he have something to say?"
"How could it be... Without that thing, how could he maintain self-awareness for five hundred years..."
Daiinsreb did not answer Paimon's doubts, but fell into thinking.
"There is also a worrying, inexplicably familiar breath"
Ying said: "He knows you."
After listening to Ying's words, Dainsreb shook his head and said: "In such a desperate disaster, such a miracle should not have been born. Just treat it as a coincidence."
"Let's keep going, towards the direction of that city."
After Dainsreb finished speaking, he walked towards the upside-down city, and Ying and Paimon followed closely.
"There is a strange force nearby that prevents us from moving forward. Is it time to decrypt it again?" Paimon looked at the purple transparent barrier in front of him and said to the two people next to him.
Dainsreb said, "No need to waste time."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and the blue-black power appeared in his hand. Under this power, the barrier in front of him quickly melted like a burst bubble.
After doing all this, Dainsreb said, "Kanreya's technology, the breath of the power of the abyss. It couldn't be more familiar. These things are nothing but illusory bubbles in my eyes."
"I understand! Sure enough, the Abyss Cult wants to hide some secrets, right?" Paimon said, "But is this inverted city related to Kanreya?"
Dainsreb replied, "I'm afraid there is no necessary connection. The closer I get, the more I can be sure that these ruins originated from an even older civilization."
"It's just that the Abyss Cult got there first."
"An even older civilization? Well, I can't imagine it." After hearing what Dainsreb said, Paimon tried to think about it and gave up.
"But the building structure here is indeed somewhat similar to the past Kanreya, well... it will be more similar when it is turned right side up."
Dainsreb continued: "Let's go, there is light ahead, let's go."
Ying followed Dainsreb and flashed to a damaged room. The light was emitted from here, and there were already several Black Snake Knights waiting in the room.
Paimon exclaimed: "Ah, Black Snake Knights!"
"Are they guarding something here?"
"Perhaps, the secret that the Abyss Cult wants to hide is here, let's defeat them first."
"There are a lot of them, but since the data has been collected, then." Ying said this and took out his Divine Body Sword.
Using the combat skills belonging to the Divine Body Sword, the golden flame appeared on the Divine Body Sword again.
"Hmm?"
Dainsreb noticed the golden flame that appeared on the sword that Ying pierced through the air last time. This flame made him feel a burning pain from a distance, just like close contact with the sun. This strong discomfort made him frown involuntarily.
After Ying finished preparing, she swept forward, and the figure of the Black Snake Knight instantly melted when it came into contact with the golden ripple flame.
"Done, let's go." Ying said to Dainsreb.
"You, what kind of weapon is this?" Dainsreb asked.
Ying answered, "God's body into a sword."
"God's body into a sword? It literally means that this is a weapon made from the body of a god?" Dainsreb frowned.
Paimon explained, "Yes, it is said that the material is made from a branch of the largest tree in Teyvat."
"The branch of the largest tree in Teyvat?" Dainsreb heard Paimon's words, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if he knew something.
Paimon asked in confusion, "Dain, what's wrong?"
Dainsreb 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 whether Dainsreb understood or not.
"Ying, there is also a Black Snake Knight over there." Paimon said to Ying.
Ying said, "Because this skill can only clear half of the place, and it will be completely cleared if we go over there again."
Black Snake Knight: "————!!"
Several Black Snake Knights raised their weapons and pointed at several people, shouting loudly, but Ying didn't understand a word.
"Wait, they didn't rush over, are they threatening us?" Paimon analyzed as he looked at the Black Snake Knights who were yelling at several people in front of him.
"These Black Snake Knights seem to have something behind them"
Black Snake Knight: "————!!"
"Why care so much? Under the baptism of the holy attribute, all the unknowns are like bubbles, and they will burst at the touch of a button." After Ying finished speaking, the sword in his hand rose with golden flames again.
"Wait, they seem to..." Before Dainsleb finished speaking, the energy in Ying's hand had already swept out.
"What's wrong?" Ying looked at Dainslei next to him with a puzzled look and said, "You speak too slowly. After the skill is triggered, I can't interrupt it."
Black Snake Knight: "!!!"
Seeing the golden flame ripples swept by Ying, the Black Snake Knights were all stunned for a moment, and put down their weapons, as if waiting to die?
The moment the ripples touched the Black Snake Knights, just like before, the Black Snake Knights' figures were once again engulfed by the golden flames, and the things they were guarding behind them were also engulfed by the golden flame ripples.
Paimon said, "Is that one from Qiuqiu?"
When the golden flames spread behind them, because of the light of the flames, Paimon could see clearly what was inside. They were several Qiuqiu people sitting or lying motionless, with black arrogance emitting from their bodies, but what was inside was The Qiuqiu people were quickly engulfed by the golden flames created by the god's body turned into a sword.
"Sure enough, these black snake knights have nothing to do with the secrets of the Abyss Order. Hum, I should have guessed it earlier." Dainsreb looked at the black snake knights who were swallowed by the golden flames, and the Qiu who flashed away behind them. Qiu Ren said expressionlessly.
"Then, what happened to the Qiuqiu people before?" Paimon asked.
"As I said before, this is the end of the Qiuqiu people."
"As they age, become photophobic, and even merge with the darkness, the curse continues to eat away at them," Dainsreb explained.
"But why do these black snake knights protect them like that?"
Black Snake Knight: "————!!!"
Just when Ying was about to complain about Paimon's drama again, the voice of the Black Snake Knight came from behind again.
Paimon said to Ying who was holding the sword next to him: "Ying, the Black Snake Knight is coming around again!"
Black Snake Knight: "————!!!"
"Then scan it again." Ying stared at the group of black snake knights who had reappeared in front of her and said.
Just when Ying once again raised the divine body sword in his hand and used the skill again on the newly appeared black snake knight.
The green-armored black snake knight I saw last time walked out quickly and said to the group of black snake knights below: "————!"
"It's the guy in front!" Pamon said in surprise.
Hearing the voice of this green-armored black snake knight, the black snake knights below all glanced at him and then quickly left here.
"They all retreated. Was it the knight who just gave the order?"
"Halfdan?" Dainsreb said, looking at the Black Snake Knight above.
The green-armored black snake knight: "."
".Is that so? If that's true, that's really sad." After hearing what the Black Snake Knight said, Dainsreib said with emotion.
"Dane?" Paimon asked with some confusion. Whether in the game or in reality, she could not understand the words of these black snake knights.
Hearing Paimon's voice, Dainsreb turned his head and said, "You want to know why they stay here to protect those Qiuqiu people, right?"
"That's because, to these Black Snake Knights, they are just fulfilling their duties."
"I also just recognized that the person who just chased away the other knights... is the young elite of the palace guard in the past. His name is Halfdan."
Dainsreb turned around, closed his eyes, and said with a look of reminiscence: "I still vaguely remember that on the day of the disaster in Camrea, as the Sword of the Last Light, before I rushed to the palace, I asked the man named Ha The knight of Fudan."
"[Tell all the Black Snake Knights to protect the people of Kanria no matter what.]"
Having said this, Dainsreb opened his eyes and turned around again, facing Ying and Paimon and said: "It is true that we have the title of palace guard. But in the face of that kind of catastrophe, the royal family, celebrities, civilians...these identities All have lost their meaning.”
"In the face of the power of the gods, the only identity left on the earth is the Kanreyan people."
fluorescent:"."
Ying looked at Deinsreib at this time. She didn't know why, but she wasn't touched at all. It was as if she was listening to a story, or she had learned about it from another channel before.
Seeing Ying's silence, Dainsreib continued: "Perhaps in the hearts of these black snake knights who have lost their minds, they are still fighting to protect the people of Kanria."
"Think of this ruins as Kanria in disaster, and think of the Qiuqiu people as people seeking help..."
"As I heard... what they kept shouting was not a warning to others."
"Then what are they talking about?" Pamon asked softly.
"Although it's hard to distinguish, I can tell that it's the ancient Canrya language that means "flee quickly."
After listening to Dainsreb's words, Ying added: "They shouldn't be talking to us, right?"
Dainsreib explained with some emotion: "Even I have to admit that this will is so tenacious that it has not been erased after five hundred years... It can be regarded as a miracle born out of despair. ”
"Then, didn't I misunderstand them?" Pamon said sadly after listening to Dainsreb's words.
fluorescent:"."
Paimon, if your emotions are more real, maybe I will believe it. That's not what you said when you played the game before. What you said was, 'These black snake knights are so annoying. Can you die faster? ’
Dainsreb shook his head and said: "It's nothing. Even I regarded them as enemies for a moment."
"Let's continue moving towards the light above. The Black Snake Knights probably won't stop us."
Speaking of this, Deinsreb glanced at the silent girl next to him again, and he felt more and more that something was wrong with the girl in front of him.
At first, he didn't have such a strong feeling. After several contacts, he was chatting with the little thing in front of him, while Ying was like a spectator, watching everything that happened here indifferently.
She had no emotional fluctuations, nor did she feel any sympathy for anything that happened, just like before when she raised her weapon with an indifferent face against those black snake knights and the hillock people who had no power to resist.
Just like now, even if the other party understood the true situation of the matter, her face did not change at all. In her calm eyes, there was not even a trace of pity for these unfortunate people, as if she was just like a god in the sky.
Ying's transformation made Dainsreb very uncomfortable. He originally thought that the other party would be a person struggling like himself, but he did not expect that the other party would secretly become a god when he did not know.
If Ying knew what Dainsreb was thinking at this time, he would definitely sneer with disdain. What is there to resonate with your stories for me? I am not a compassionate saint. Do you still expect me to save Kanreya?
Not to mention that Ying has never lived in Kanreya. Even if she has lived there, she would feel ashamed of Kanreya's behavior. After making a tiller, she used the blood of innocent people to expand the territory of Kanreya. This kind of country cannot last long.
The function of the tiller is definitely not for the gods. Ying knows that no matter how many of these small tillers there are, they are just like toys in the eyes of the seven gods she met, and even the giant ones only have some impact on the gods.
It is conceivable that the purpose of large-scale ruins guards is to slaughter other people, that is, the believers under the gods that the people of Kanreya hate.
Ying followed behind Dainsreb. She knew that Dainsreb was a very important figure in the main line. She could learn a lot from the plot of "Genshin Impact II". Some things must be triggered by him.
But she is completely different from the traveler in the plot. What she is doing now is completely out of the plot, although the main plot is still being corrected by unknown forces and Paimon next to her.
But this correction is not as stable as before. Thinking of this, she looked at the deep purple power residue underground again. She wanted to go down and absorb this power, and then she could enhance her strength a lot.
But Dainsreb was still here. In order to prevent the plot from going off track, she suppressed her desire and followed Dainsreb silently.
Paimon said as he flew, "There is really no Black Snake Knight behind us."
After Paimon finished speaking, there was another long period of silence. This silent atmosphere made her a little unbearable.
So she turned to Dainsreb and said, "Dain, why don't you speak?"
Dainsreb replied, "Nothing, just thinking about something. Do you want to comfort me? That's not necessary."
"Humph! Okay."
After hearing what Dainsreb said, Paimon snorted angrily, and then no longer planned to pay attention to Dainsreb.
"Ying, what are you thinking about? Why don't you talk all the way." Paimon turned to Ying and said.
"I wonder if there will be unexpected monsters here, so that I can make a lot of money again." Ying replied, touching his chin.
"Well, okay." After hearing what Ying said, Paimon spread his hands helplessly.
After Paimon's words fell, the few people fell into silence again. Paimon had no intention of finding a topic, but was thinking about completing the task as soon as possible and going home to play games.
Ying was thinking about when Dainsreb would leave. She was a little impatient for the energy below, while Dainsreb was thinking about whether the current Ying was still the same Ying as before? Would she have completely stood on the position of God, or in other words, the other party had begun to become a member of God.
Thinking of this, Dainsreb frowned even deeper, because Ying was a force outside the world, and this external force could be used to deny and interfere with the entire world. In his opinion, if Ying was assimilated, the world would probably be over.
Several people followed the road and came to the room in the center of the top. Above their heads, they saw a pool of water that was glowing and flowing. Obviously, the pool was full of water, but it did not fall from the top of their heads, but flowed quietly above.
"Look, there is a pool up there. This pool is inverted, which is amazing." Paimon looked at the pool above his head and asked Dainthreb: "Do you know what this pool is, Dain?"
"The pool seems to be integrated with the entire city. It must be a relic of ancient civilization." Dainthreb looked at the pool above his head and explained to Paimon: "The key is... I think the effect of weakening the curse comes from it."
"When you are here, your body will feel unprecedented tranquility. The feeling is stronger than before. I think it is mostly because the water in the pool has a similar purification effect."
After listening to Dainthreb's words, Paimon also intuitively felt some energy in the pool and asked him: "Purification? Then will... the water in that pool can completely purify the curse?"
Dainthreb shook his head and denied it directly: "Impossible."
"So sure? I feel that this water has some effect." Paimon asked in confusion.
Dainsleb replied calmly: "I have been awake and coexisting with the curse for five hundred years. No one knows more about the curse than me."
"It is the causal mark of this world. The curse of God is even higher than human beings themselves."
"I can feel that the curse is constantly penetrating everything about me, becoming a part of me, and even gradually replacing me."
After hearing what Deinsreb said, Ying took out the divine body sword again and said to Deinsreb: "Do you want me to stab you with the sword? This sword is still very useful for things other than removing life."
"No, my curse is already very deep now. If this sword really has the ability to remove the curse, then I will probably be swallowed up by the golden flames emitted by this sword like the hill people and the black snake knight before."
Deinsreb hurriedly said after hearing Ying's dangerous thoughts, fearing that this wrong traveler would suddenly stab him with the sword like he did last time when facing Kong.
Kong was not affected much, but he was affected greatly. Even if he didn't die from this sword, it would be almost the same as death.
"Oh, forget it then." Ying was a little disappointed after hearing Deinsreb's answer.
Deinsreb: "."
"But, can the water in the pool above your head be drunk? I think this water should be delicious." Ying looked curious and turned upside down on the top of his head, in the pool in reality, and the water in the pool exuded an unknown energy.
However, she felt that the unknown energy emanating from the pool was of great benefit to her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lick her lips which were dry due to desire.
