Genshin Impact: I will turn into a breeze and continue to blow over Mondstadt
Chapter 238 They Never Embraced the Light
"Disaster, panic... The dark calamity and abyss destroyed my hometown five hundred years ago..." Dyne's gaze seemed to travel through time and space, looking into the dark distance, his eyes filled with endless sadness and anger.
"I guess... you still remember how your brother called me?" He suddenly turned around and asked Ying with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Well, it seems to be you..." Ying thought for a moment and then continued:
"'Sword of the Last Light'?"
"Yes, that's right. This was my former name." Dai Yin nodded slightly, but there was no trace of pride on his face. Instead, he revealed deep helplessness and sadness.
"But now, all the glory is gone, and all that remains is the pain that is like a curse..."
"So, I don't want to mention this name anymore." He shook his head gently, his voice full of bitterness.
"And your brother was once my close travel companion." Dain said slowly, with a hint of nostalgia and emotion in his tone.
"What?! Travel companion?!" Paimon's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.
"Could the person Dai Yin mentioned earlier be her brother?" She turned her head and looked at Ying, trying to get an answer from her.
"Yes." Dainsleb nodded affirmatively. He looked at the two puzzled people in front of him, took a deep breath, and continued to explain:
"After that terrible catastrophe, I embarked on a journey with him to an uncertain future... Unfortunately, we were unable to reach the end of the journey..."
"Wait, I remember Qianyu once said that he also participated in that battle." Ying said while recalling.
"Even the gods can't prevent that disaster?" Paimon opened his mouth in surprise.
"Oh, God is not worth expecting." Dainsleb sneered in a low voice.
"I once saw God on the dark battlefield, with dazzling light shining in the void." Dainsreb recalled the scene of that year with a solemn expression.
"However, they did not save Kanreya, this ancient capital. Instead, they bestowed God's curse on all the survivors of Kanreya - the curse of undeath." Dainsreb continued, with a hint of grief and anger in his tone.
"At that moment, no one was noble, famous, or common. Everything lost its meaning... and on this continent, only one identity remained - Kanreya."
"God's curse, how is this possible..." Paimon felt extremely shocked and unbelievable after hearing these words.
She could never have imagined that the gods would do such a thing.
"Compared to the seven nations protected by the seven gods, they who live underground have never embraced the light..."
“Haha, I think that’s also the reason why your brother joined the Abyss Cult…” Dain looked at Ying with burning eyes.
"You may still have doubts about me, but I still want to remind you not to place too much trust in the gods. Of course, don't take the extreme path of revenge..."
The empty underground was filled with an atmosphere of depression and uneasiness, as if even the air had become heavy.
Faced with such a cruel fact, Ying and Paimeng found it hard to accept it for a while, but they knew that this was the truth of the Kanreya disaster.
"There is light ahead. Let's talk as we go." said Dainsleb.
Following his line of sight, Ying and Paimon saw an ancient building similar to a tall tower emitting dots of light in the upside-down dark city.
"Wait, these hillbillies..."
Walking on cracked stone slabs, passing through steep cliffs, and getting closer to the ancient buildings, they found that there were many Hill people around them.
But the strange thing is that they have lost their former liveliness and instead all sit cross-legged on the ground without any unnecessary movements.
"Ying, do you know why the hill people wear masks?"
Hearing this, Ying shook her head.
"Because they are afraid, afraid of seeing their ugly self reflected in the water..."
“Although the Curse of Undying grants immortality to the cursed, their spirit and body will gradually wear out and eventually decay over a long period of time.” Dain’s voice was heavy and serious.
"That sounds scary..." Paimon couldn't help but shudder and shook his head with some palpitations.
“When this wear and tear reaches its limit, they will meet the end of their lives, although not in the form of death.” Dyne continued, his eyes deep and complex.
“And when that time comes, they can only wait silently in some dark corner for that moment to come.” He said, casting his gaze towards the upside-down city in the distance.
"I think there may be something hidden in this ancient city that can suppress the curse of undeath."
"Not only the large number of hill people gathered here, but even my body is conveying a strong desire to me at this moment."
"That means...stay..."
"But you once said that since it is a curse imposed by the gods, is there anything that can counter it?" Ying frowned and asked in confusion.
“The Abyss Cult possesses a special teleportation power, the principle of which is like a network structure formed by countless points connected to each other.” Dyne explained, with a hint of mystery in his tone.
"Since they teleported me here, it means this place is one of their tens of millions of points. In other words, there is something here that they care about."
At this moment, Dainsleb's face tensed, and his eyes looked as sharp as an eagle not far away. At the same time, a hoarse and low roar came from not far away.
"Be careful! Enemy attack!" he warned in a low voice, with a hint of tension and vigilance in his voice.
They saw five black snake knights in black robes and hoods, holding black spears, galloping towards them from the ancient city at a very fast speed.
In the darkness, their figures were like ghosts, which made people feel scared.
Without any hesitation, Ying quickly took out her sword and prepared to meet the enemy's attack. Her eyes were firm and calm, as if she had long been accustomed to the scene of battle.
However, just as the two sides were about to touch, a turquoise light flashed, and another black snake knight holding a turquoise giant sword appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, Deinsreb also noticed this new enemy. He frowned and wondered about the other party's identity.
"Huh, that's strange, why did they suddenly stop?" Paimon said in surprise, his tone full of confusion.
"Because, there is a special guy..." Dainsleb's eyes were fixed on the black snake knight holding the turquoise giant sword, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
The Black Snake Knight just waved his hand gently, and then the Black Snake Knights who surrounded the crowd retreated one after another, as if they had received an order.
"Is that their leader?" Ying asked curiously, still holding the edgeless sword tightly in his hand.
"Besides, that guy seems to be staring at you all the time."
"Halfdan..." At this time, Dainsreb murmured softly, with a complicated expression on his face.
As he spoke, a memory that was buried deep in his heart gradually emerged in his mind.
"Huh? Does Dain know him?" Paimon blinked and asked curiously.
"In fact, they are members of the Kanreya Imperial Court Guard just like me, but because of the Undead Curse, they have become what they are now."
"The Black Snake Knight just now, his name is Halfdan. I saw him when the disaster struck..."
"Is it someone from five hundred years ago?" Paimon pondered.
"I think they attacked us not voluntarily, but in self-defense." Dain said seriously.
Hearing this, Ying on the side couldn't help but feel very confused:
"But why?"
"It's because they mistook those Hillilians for Kanreyas seeking help during a disaster." Dain sighed and continued.
"Before everything was destroyed, I gave them an order - to protect the people of Kanreya at all costs..." His voice became low.
Deep in his memory, he saw fifty or sixty young men standing in front of him with swords in their hands and determined eyes.
One of the young men, Halfdan, walked up to Dain.
"Captain, everything is ready and we can go into battle at any time." His face was filled with confidence and courage, making people feel that he was omnipotent.
At this moment, Dain slowly closed his eyes, feeling the pulse in his body beating tiredly...
