Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

Chapter 246: Cowards die in their own way, and brave men die in their own way

On Bayun Island, heavy rain poured down.

When Sasayuri looked up, countless raindrops hit her face, and her eyes were still a blur of bright red.

He finally realized that he was really going to die this time.

"Little Tengu, I have no intention of killing you,"

The dark sky was suddenly covered, and an extremely huge figure appeared before him:

"Go back and call the Thunder Dragon King. You can't stop me."

The voice rang in Sasayuri's ears.

"Orobus——"

Sasayuri had called out this name countless times. He wanted to stand up, but couldn't. He could only pull out his knife and stick it into the soil to prop himself up.

He held a bow as graceful as thunder firmly in his hand - the bowstring of Flying Thunder. The bowstring was slowly pulled open, pointing directly at the huge snake in the sky:

"As long as I'm here... you can't even think of... setting foot in Inazuma."

Oropus raised his head and looked far away. The castle tower stood on the top of the mountain. He paused, then lowered his head to look at the tiny figure in front of him.

The big snake exhaled slowly:

"Oh, why bother..."

His invasion this time was originally to seek death, and to some extent he even wanted a favor from Inazuma. He did not want to cause any more killing.

He asked:

"Don't you take your life seriously?"

After saying this, Sasayuri was stunned for a moment.

Not shaken by what was said,

But many years ago, his elder brother also said the same thing to him -

"Remember, don't force yourself to do certain things. It's not those who sacrifice their lives on the battlefield who are heroes..."

"But brother, I'm not forcing you."

He gently held the bow handle, thinking back to the scene when He Li gave him this bow a long time ago - 'The most responsible Tengu General deserves the best bow,'

He knew that he was not as smart as Kitsaigong and was a little dull. He also knew that he was not as good as Chiyo in martial arts, and his strength was speed.

So he arrived at the military camp and became a general, just to prove his worth.

Now he had ordered the soldiers to retreat and report the news. He was the only one standing before Inazuma, and he should be the only one.

"So how can General Tengu be a deserter?"

Sasayuri muttered to herself.

He is not fearless, nor is he seeking death.

He only knew that if he became a deserter, how would he face everyone and how would he be worthy of this Flying Thunder Vibrator.

"Orobus——"

He suddenly raised his head and used his last bit of strength to draw the bow towards the full moon:

"Cowards have their own way of dying, and brave men have their own way of dying. As long as I'm here, you won't be able to set foot in Inazuma."

"What a brave man's death!"

The big snake was suddenly very happy and looked directly at the small figure:

"If we had known each other earlier, I would have had a drink with you, but now..."

Feeling the gaze from somewhere, the snake no longer wasted time.

"Then I will give you a heroic death—"

He stood up, and his mountain-like serpentine tail roared down...

...

"There's thunder over there,"

Lei Dianying suddenly raised his head and looked out the window. In the distance beyond the rain, at the location of Bayun Island, lightning was falling.

"Aying, why don't you go to Bayun Island and take a look?"

He Li flipped through the documents without raising his head.

"Lei Long Jun, it's raining so hard outside, why did you let Ying go there?"

Lei Dianzhen looked over in confusion.

"Just go and have a look, and come back,"

He Li still didn't raise his head, as if it was just a casual suggestion.

But even though it was just a casual remark, it sounded unexpectedly tough to the two of them - he always had things to discuss beforehand, and this had never happened before.

The Thunder sisters looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Lei Dianzhen said: "Then you can go and have a look at the shadow, and come back soon."

"Um,"

Lei Dianying was about to go out when he was stopped again.

"Aying, bring your knife,"

He Li said.

...

boom--

The mud and water splashed, and the figure flew out backwards.

But I don't know about Yuri Sasa.

"General!"

Sasayuri struggled to open her eyes in the rain and finally saw who was coming.

"Why are you here!"

Lei Dianying turned around and looked at the wounded Sasalis, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"what happened?"

Fortunately, she arrived in time. If she had been half a minute late, Yuri Sasa might have...

"Half an hour ago, the island of Haizhi was attacked, led by the demon god Orobas himself... ahem,"

In the excitement, she spoke too loudly and started coughing violently.

"We'll talk later. You should go back to Inazuma City to heal your wounds first."

Lei Dianying holds a knife and stands at the edge of the sky:

"I'll handle it here."

"...yes,"

Sasayuri paused, but finally left.

...

Looking at Sasayuri flying away with her broken wings swaying, Lei Dianying breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

If He Jun hadn't reminded her earlier, she would have lost a friend.

But how did He Jun know...

She didn't think much about it because the big snake had already climbed up.

Oropus spat out a mouthful of blood and suddenly said:

"It's finally here."

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Lei Dianying seemed to see a smile in his eyes and hear relief in his words.

"I don't want to kill him,"

The big snake said again.

"Are you begging for mercy?"

Lei Dianying said calmly:

"But trespassing on Inazuma is a capital crime,"

Hearing her words, Orobas just smiled and slowly shook his snake head:

"Of course I know it's a capital crime, but I don't want to escape this time,"

He looked toward the horizon, closed his eyes, and let the rain fall on his face:

"In Liyue, I escaped. In Inazuma Island, I escaped again. In the Dark Sea, I escaped again... I have escaped all my life, but I don't want to escape this time."

Inazuma Island?

Lei Dianying thought about it carefully and finally remembered the big snake in front of him.

"Were you there that day?"

The day she was talking about was the battle a hundred years ago when dozens or even hundreds of defeated demons gathered together to besiege her and He Li.

"haven't seen you for a long time,"

The big snake said this jokingly or at least self-deprecatingly.

"I should have killed you then,"

Ray Movie said.

"hehe,"

Oropus laughed dryly twice:

"What difference would it make if I died now?"

He shook his head and suddenly looked back. He could not see anything clearly in the huge rain, but he knew that the troops from Haizhi Island led by him had returned safely to Haizhi Island.

"I have a request, Lord Narukami,"

Without any warning, He suddenly fell to the ground with His huge snake head hanging down in an extremely low posture.

Lei Dianying didn't react for a while.

After a while, she snorted coldly:

"Intruder, what qualifications do you have to make demands?"

Of course, Oropus knew this truth, so he did not hesitate at all:

"I will trade for information,"

"How do I know if the intelligence is true or not, and whether it has any value?"

Lei Yingdian's questioning left Orobasi speechless. After a while, he could only reveal a bitter smile:

"That's up to you to judge."

...

What information could Oropus have?

He was driven from Liyue to Inazuma, from Inazuma to the Dark Sea, and from the Dark Sea to the Abyss Palace.

What could He, who had been on the run all his life, have that be worth keeping secret?

Have,

It was a book called "The Past of the Sun and the Moon".

Of course, He would not be stupid enough to tell others the contents of this book. After all, the Maintainer might be watching it in some corner.

All He can say are His own opinions and thoughts, not the objective facts recorded in "Anecdotes of the Sun and the Moon".

"I remember that when you were on the outlying island, there was a thunder dragon beside you, right?"

Oropus suddenly asked.

"Yes,"

Ray movie nodded.

"I thought he was an ordinary thunder dragon at the time, and wondered why he didn't take Inazuma and instead gave it to someone else."

Oropus said again.

Lei Dianying frowned, not understanding what the big snake was trying to say:

"What do you mean?"

"I now know that he is not a thunder dragon at all, but the Thunder Dragon King."

Facing Lei Movie, whose brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, Orobas continued:

"The Thunder Dragon King I mentioned does not literally mean 'the king of thunder dragons'. To be precise, he is fundamentally different from the thunder dragons that are essentially dragon lizards."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

For some reason, Lei Dianying felt uneasy in her heart, and she subconsciously clenched the naginata in her hand.

"What I want to say is that he, as the Thunder Dragon King, has lost his original power, and that power is extremely powerful, and it is the existence that all elemental dragons want to pursue."

Orobasi spoke very quickly:

"That's why he stayed in Inazuma and fully supported you in becoming the God of Thunder, because this power is in the heart of the God of Thunder..."

He suddenly stopped talking.

Because the look in Lei Yingying's eyes was so cold that it almost froze him.

Her right hand holding the knife was trembling slightly at this moment.

"Will you say it again?"

She opened and closed her lips and uttered five words. Her face was expressionless, but it was like a thunderbolt that had been accumulating for a long time and was ready to explode at any time.

Oropas finally realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Ugh--"

He closed his eyes and sighed softly, as if he had exhausted all his strength. Then, he resigned himself to his fate and revealed his thick snake neck:

"This is my information. Please judge for yourself whether it is true or false. I only hope that you will not vent your anger on the people of Kaijima. This is my request."

He remembered what the weak but heroic Tengu had said.

Cowards have their own way of dying, and brave men have their own way of dying. But he, Oropas, did not die on the way of escaping after all.

...

The rain is still falling,

But this time, Ying didn't feel any peace of mind.

The information the author found is that Orobas invaded during the Demon War, and the plot was delayed by a hundred years, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
