Chapter 1169 Jiang Yi Can I trust you? Abyss priest, no taboos, 3 engraved images

Deep underground in the Layered Abyss, a flower appeared, perhaps the national flower of Kanreya dedicated to the dead hillbillies.

Jiang Yi looked at the flower on Ying's head.

It is not soft, but as hard as a jade-carved hair accessory.

"Inteivat, once blooming in every corner of Kanreya. The flower blooms for only two weeks. But if it is picked and taken away from the land of Kanreya, the petals will no longer grow and become very hard. Only when it returns to its homeland will the petals become soft again and eventually disappear into the dust..."

Ying touched the flowers on her head and thought about what Dai Yin said.

"Dain said it symbolizes 'wandering child' and implies 'the tenderness of hometown'."

"When I touched the flower, I saw an image from the past."

"My brother and the Abyss Apostle placed Intivat in the past, under that rocky abyss, in front of the dead Hilichurl."

"The Abyss Apostle asked my brother, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Abyss, whether he would agree to purify their people with the device that will soon be completed."

"My brother answered..."

"'I was so focused on fighting against the 'law of heaven' that I forgot about the mission of 'restoring the country'. Indeed, I shouldn't have been so indecisive.'"

"They only think purification is feasible in theory."

"But I think even if there is only a one percent chance, it's worth a try."

Ying stopped.

"My brother looked at the people of Kanreya and made up his mind."

"'We are the same, too. We have already fallen into the abyss. For them, it is better to return to the cycle as soon as possible rather than live without dignity. Don't let them continue to bear... those false sins.'"

"..."

The miraculous connection between the twins allowed Ying to see images of the past through the flowers and see her brother twice.

The last time was at the Mondstadt Wind Dragon Ruins.

"I...I don't agree with my brother's idea." Ying's eyes were firm.

"There is a one percent chance of salvation, but a ninety-nine percent chance of a painful death. No one is qualified to make such a choice for other lives. Moreover, those hillbillies have already chosen their own fate."

"Purification without redemption is the destruction of life." Jiang Yi said, "It is equivalent to actively killing the citizens of Kanreya who may still have hope for life and redemption. They ignored the opinions of the citizens of Kanreya, whether to actively welcome the purification or reject it."

"Yes." Ying nodded.

During the journey, at this moment, she had different thoughts about life and choices than her brother.

"Without 'citizens', there can be no 'country'. The Abyss Cult wants to restore the cursed people and become the foundation for the restoration of Kanria."

"Perhaps this is why Dain and his brother had a disagreement."

"My brother has not given up his mission to restore the country."

"And Dain... understood that there is absolutely no salvation and the curse is irreversible, and warned himself that those who are no longer human, there is no need to invest more emotions, and to focus on things that are more worthy of saving, rather than being 'hypocritical' and forcibly removing the curse. That way, nothing will be gained except pain."

"I don't agree with my brother, and I don't believe in Dyne that much. But Dyne and I agree on the idea of ​​fighting the Abyss."

Jiang Yi looked at Ying: "..."

"Jiang Yi..." Ying turned around, leaving a side profile of Jiang Yi, the sunlight shining through his golden hair and fair face, "Can I trust you?"

Paimon covered his mouth.

The wind and birdsong around seemed to have stopped.

"I don't know..." Jiang Yi's answer was beyond Ying and Paimeng's expectations, "But you must always believe in Jiang Yi who still likes small bread..."

If one day I don't like it anymore...

He smiled.

"Pfft! What kind of a weird answer is that?" Paimon asked, "You're not teasing Ying, are you?"

"Haha! As expected of you..." Ying turned around and put her hands on her hips. The wind around her seemed to be slightly warm, "Then I will believe you."

"Don't be so reluctant, okay!" Jiang Yi said, "Shouldn't the answer be more firm?"

"Can I ask you a question in return, Ying, can I trust you?" He spread his hands and looked at Paimeng again, "Paimeng, can I trust you?"

"You're still involving me?" Paimon and Ying put their hands on their hips, "Of course not, I will secretly eat up all your tribute!"

"Are beautiful girls not worthy of trust?" Ying blinked innocently and boasted about herself.

"Are handsome boys not trustworthy?" Jiang Yi also blinked his eyes. Only you can do it!

"Dear Paimon, isn't he worthy of trust?" Paimon followed.

"Jiang Yi can always trust Yandora..." A clear voice suddenly rang out.

"Wow! Why did you suddenly appear? Jiang Yi, push her back quickly and hold the bottle cap tightly." Paimon made a sprint and pinched Yandora who had crawled out of the bottle back.

He wiped the sweat off his face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yandora hadn't come out to argue with her for a long time, which made her a little uncomfortable, but when Yandora really came out, it was like a harbinger of a nightmare.

It’s better to let this pure water elf remain quiet.

A quiet Yandora is a good Yandora.

"Hmph!" Yandola snorted in the bottle. If she wanted to come out, Paimon couldn't stop her.

How can a mere altar cleaner be compared to the singing angel in the future?

That is Bi Ma Wen, who raises horses and trains soldiers in the cave, and Mi Nu, the monkey-hearted general, whose status is comparable to his.

Of course, the name Bimawen was given by Yandora after she watched "The Monkey King". Mi Nu was not angry at this name, nor did he mind the nickname given to him by Yandora.

"Bimawen is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. I am also in charge of the Peach Garden."

There are no peaches in Jiang Yi's cave, but the immortal cave is similar enough to the Peach Garden, and there are countless rare treasures in it.

After this commotion, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"After reaching a consensus with Dain, we prepared to destroy the purification device with the determination not to let the Abyss act arbitrarily and trample on Halfdan and his men's wishes."

"But when we walked out of the cave where the hill people were and looked up at the inverted city, the sudden golden light hurt our eyes."

"That is a golden light that resembles the power of the light world... but it has a purifying quality."

"Light is emitted from the room in the center of the city. The Abyss Cult's purification plan has begun."

"Dyne and I walked over and met the Abyss Apostle of Water who represented the 'Harbinger of the Abyss'. He said, 'It was a fatal mistake. We didn't have time to check the transmission network and sent you here by mistake.'"

You are Dain.

"Dain met the Apostle of the Water Abyss whom he had been chasing for a long time. The two sides fought. With my help, Dain killed the Apostle of the Water Abyss who tried his best to stop us from moving forward." Ying was silent for a moment.

"Dyne and I came to the Inverted City and used the Abyss Cult's unclosed portal to enter the room and meet the Abyss Priest who controls thunder on behalf of the 'Baptist of the Last Kingdom'."

A priest is a person who prays for the dying, performs confessions and even exorcise demons.

The view from the portal was like a brilliant galaxy of stars in the universe. Even the view of the universe could not conceal the golden purifying light emanating from behind the portal. That light penetrated through like a sun with ripples.

Ying continued.

"According to previous inspections, the base of the Abyss Cult's purification device is like a synthetic stone pillar with different patterns. There is a purple crystal on it, which is probably the power of the abyss."

"I entered the room and saw the Abyss Priest holding the crystal in his hand. The golden light shot up into the sky and merged into the center of the inverted pool. The crystal flashed like a golden sun, creating a huge golden halo and attracting power like streamers and mist around it."

"Under the convergence of so many golden light points, the golden crystal took on a hint of purple, emitting a light that was even more dazzling and brighter than before, forcing us to look away."

"The light has tremendous power, transforming into thicker pillars of light, forming circles like magic arrays, and blasting into the pool."

The pool vibrated in the sun-like light.

The technology of the Abyss has increased the purification capacity of the pool of water tenfold or even a hundredfold.

The device amplifies the power.

The inverted city and everything around it were all bathed in that light.

The flow of energy brings about strong tides.

"Dyne commented that this was a crude and crude method..."

"But this method has caused all the hillbillies, the Black Snake Knight, and even Dain to suffer. They no longer have the feeling of peace and comfort. Just like getting close to the fire to dispel the cold, now they are thrown into the furnace."

The powerful purifying force brought intense pain, causing the Hillilians to wail, the Black Snake Knight to hold his head and roar, and Dain to become extremely weak and suffer serious injuries.

Ying's eyes were cold and complicated: "Paimon and I couldn't get close for a while, and then we saw a figure appear in front of us and walk into the light."

"Halfdan jumped up with all his strength and used his tall and strong body to block the strong light."

"Hug the crystal."

"The body drooped limply."

Although the description is long, these things actually happened in a short moment at that time.

"Dyne and I, who had regained the ability to move, took action and eliminated the Abyss Priest, but found that the device had not stopped yet."

"After checking, I realized that each of those unclosed abyss portals is connected to other energy supply devices and is guarded by monsters from the abyss."

"Dyne's strength was affected by the device, but I was the only one who was not suppressed."

"Dyne stays there, I'll go destroy all the power supply devices."

"The burning sensation that Dyne felt has disappeared..."

"But Halfdan..."

There was sadness in Ying's eyes.

Jiang Yi felt a little regretful. His mind had actually been on another matter these past two days. He and Xiao were preparing to enter Layer Rock, but he forgot that there were actually many other things happening in Layer Rock.

"Listen to me first..." Seeing Jiang Yi's expression, Ying stretched out her hand to block the words that Jiang Yi was about to say, "Dain and I have confirmed that Halfdan has no breath of life, so we are ready to leave..."

"At this moment... a light appeared behind us. Halfdan's soul was emitting its final rays of light."

"He emerged from the heavy and burly armor, revealing himself to be a young man with green eyes and gray hair. He was wearing Kanreya clothing and had Kanreya's unique decorations on his body. A black sun-like mark and a golden wheat ear-like chest ornament."

"He said, 'I'm sorry, Master Dainsleif, the Sword of the Last Light. I failed you at that time and failed to protect the people.'"

"Kanria is not lost, is it? You are still standing here after all."

"Dain responded."

"'No, you have fulfilled your responsibilities over the past five hundred years. To this day, you are still my glory.'"

"Because the country has not been destroyed..."
