Genshin Impact: I announce that I will quit Liyue and join Dao Wife

The perspective is brought back to the present.

The two immortals were led by Ah Ji to the altar.

This place was completely different from what they had seen before. It was a tall altar with stones painted with unknown runes placed around it. The stones half covered the altar, and a long table was placed in the middle of the high platform. , there was only a gold cup placed on the empty long table.

"That's where I will stand tomorrow!" Ajiu raised his finger and pointed at the long table with a big smile, "Lord Thunderbird will definitely be able to see me at the first sight!"

"Thunderbird will come tomorrow..." Li Shui looked at the altar and asked thoughtfully, "Do they all know?"

This "they" refers to the people busy around the altar.

As Ajie said, no one rejected them as outsiders. Instead, they were quite enthusiastic, but there were quite complicated emotions in their eyes.

That is a desire.

But longing for what? Their identity as immortals was not known to this ancient tribe, and people just looked at them and did not make any strange requests to them like the mortals in Liyue seeking immortality.

This is a very legitimate, slightly envious feeling, but not mixed with malicious jealousy.

People didn't pay much attention to them, they just watched them talking to the people around them, but rather than looking at the two immortals, it was better to say that their eyes had been falling on Ajiu.

No matter who it was, whether they were busy or talking, their eyes would always fall vaguely on Ajie.

Li Shui wanted to listen carefully to the content of their conversation, but for some reason he couldn't hear clearly. He could only vaguely hear strange words such as "sacrifice", "Ajie", "Thunderbird", "Mist" and "Sun".

Looking at Ajiu, who was still looking at the high platform with no clue, Li Shui had a hunch that they were very close to the truth.

——The truth about Kapaciri Suga, who was described as friendly by Ajiu, suddenly went berserk and destroyed Tsurukan.

The difference between the thunderbird in Ajiu's mouth and the brutal and ferocious image in the legend is too great. Something must have happened to cause the thunderbird to suddenly go berserk and destroy the entire Crane Temple.

In fact, the immortals already had some guesses, but they didn't dare to confirm yet that these humans around them, who would greet them and Ajie with a smile, would do such a thing.

If the altar has been erected, what will be the mission of the high-profile divine messenger?

Looking at the long table in the center of the high platform, his eyes finally focused on the golden cup, and Li Shui's eyes became a little colder.

A sacrifice in full public view?

In the ignorant ancient tribe, nothing is impossible. Even in the ancient Liyue period, some people wanted to use their own tribe as sacrifices to worship the Rock King.

"You all can stay in the village today!" Ajie issued an invitation, "Tomorrow is the sacrificial day, and the village will hold a party tonight. You all can stay and participate!"

"...Okay." Li Shui lowered his eyes and suddenly took a step forward and hugged Ah Jie with his wings.

"Huh?" His whole body was sunk in the soft feathers. Ajie let out a short exclamation in flattery, and then quickly reacted and pressed his body against it.

"Ah Shui's feathers feel so good!" Ah Jiu exclaimed in admiration.

"Huh." Rishui raised his head and stretched out his other wing, "That's right."

He takes care of it diligently every day, and every feather has its place.

Xieyue also came closer, standing only one foot away from Lishui, silently comforting Lishui.

Weak creatures tend to be more self-righteous and arrogant. The arrogant ones believe that the gods will like the "gifts" they offer at a high price. The arrogant ones believe that only "paying" can impress the gods. The arrogant ones use themselves to save the gods and would rather believe that the gods like them. sacrifices, but do not want to believe that God loves the world.

This is also the reason for their demise.

Weakness is never the cause of death, arrogance is.

Perhaps they themselves know that apart from being intelligent, there is nothing lovable about human beings who actually act and behave like beasts. They also hate and abandon their own bad nature, so they continue to learn etiquette, justice and shame. , restraining one's behavior with fragile morality.

Perhaps because of Ajiu's invitation, Ajiu did not leave this time. The fog did not gather. In the silence, the building stayed there.

Although the surrounding buildings are a bit old, they are full of life and people of all kinds perform their duties. In this village, not only the stones beside the altar, but also the furniture here are engraved with incantations, which seems to be the characteristic of this tribe.

Everyone they meet on the road will greet them in a friendly way, and the children will play around Ajie, calling him "the angel" with adoring eyes and tone. It was this kind of friendliness that made the two immortals become even more silent.

At night, everyone gathered around the altar and erected a tall bonfire. The priest stood on the altar and shouted something in obscure languages. The people in the audience watched eagerly and cheered.

The language is different from the common language in mainland China, and is not similar to any ancient Liyue language, but hearing the bursts of cheers from the surrounding crowd, I think it is also an extremely dreamy and beautiful idea of ​​the future.

Ajiu's eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at the priest on the stage with a longing expression.

"You know what will happen tomorrow, right?" Rishui couldn't help but ask.

Will he know? Knowing his fate tomorrow, that towering tower will be the end of his short life, and his people will cheer for his death just like they do now. Will he know? Does this child, who is only a few dozen years old, know his fate?

"Of course!" Ajiu affirmed, and this dark mist revealed its cruel minions for the first time. "I will be there tomorrow, on that altar, dedicating myself entirely to Lord Thunderbird! I will be on the highest level. On the altar, Lord Thunderbird will definitely be able to see me for the first time when he comes back!"

Witness his death.

"..." Li Shui was speechless.

"That's my father." Ajie pointed to the priest on the stage, "I am the priest's son, the first divine envoy, and will also be Lord Thunderbird's favorite sacrifice!"

A happy expression appeared on Ajie's face, "They all said that I am the first human being to receive the attention of Lord Thunderbird. If I are used as a sacrifice, Lord Thunderbird will definitely be very happy! My father is also very proud of it. I am proud!"

"Hey, Ah Shui and Ah Yue, in fact, Lord Thunderbird likes my singing the most. Tomorrow, I will dedicate my last song to Lord Thunderbird."

Ajiu scratched his head and said with regret, "It's a pity that I can no longer sing to Lord Thunderbird in the future, but it doesn't matter. I have taught this song to every friend of mine! They will sing it to Lord Thunderbird by then. Listen~"

No wonder Ajie obviously speaks the common language of the mainland, but he can also speak the ancient dialect here, and the name of the thunderbird is also the ancient dialect.

Using flesh and blood as a sacrifice, the biological father personally brought his own son to the altar...

The little child already knew his fate. Maybe he didn't know what death meant, but for the sake of his tribe, he accepted it calmly.

"Actually, I have experienced such sacrifices many times." Ajie suddenly fell silent, his eyes filled with complex emotions that were not for his age, "Am I not Lord Thunderbird's favorite child? Why has the sacrifice never been done? Can it succeed?"

Li Shui was shocked and lowered his head to look at Ah Jing.

Many times?

"Well~ I will definitely succeed this time~" Ajiu skipped the topic and continued to listen carefully to his father's words.

"Maybe it's because Thunderbird likes you so much and wants to hear more of your singing." Zai Yue suddenly said.

Rishui and Ajiu turned to look at Zie Yue at the same time.

Zaoyue lowered her head and looked at Ajie with a serious face, "You are Thunderbird's favorite child. This is a fact."

It was precisely because he liked it that he destroyed Heguan by witnessing his death.

Her favorite child became a sacrifice and was delivered to her bloody. How would Suganame Kapaciri feel?

Ajiu's face regained a smile, "Really? I'm so happy~ If Lord Thunderbird likes it, I can do it again as many times as I want~ Even though it hurts a little~"
