People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Once it is absorbed into the space of Fushe’s burial ground.

Not only did he have to seal the floating house in the space by himself, but he also had to face the inability to activate the magic weapon Taiweiyi Disk, thus being trapped to death in the huge rock abyss.

"This is to help Xiao resolve his worries before he takes office."

Rhode shook his head secretly and said, "Why don't you just bring him in yourself?"

That sealed space has no effect on Zhongli at all.

It would definitely be much safer for him to bring Xiao himself.

But Rhodes immediately understood what Zhongli meant.

As for Xiao’s affairs, he must find the truth on his own.

If Zhongli has to accompany me in everything.

Then Xiao may not be able to find the sound he wants.

"fair enough."

"Safety is guaranteed."

Rhodes felt even better and even had the urge to go to the sealed space with Xiao to see what was going on.

Xiao was sent by Zhongli.

This is not called reporting to your parents before leaving the house.

This is what parents do when they personally watch their children take risks.

The thought of Zhongli being outside.

Rhode couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Forget it, if the Emperor didn't come, then he didn't come. Great Sage Conquering the Demons, does the Emperor have any other tasks for you?"

"The Emperor is busy with important matters and has no time to come here."

Xiao was a little confused about what Rhode was going to say. He answered Rhode's first question before saying, "He asked me to protect your safety until you leave the Abyss."

then.

Xiao raised his hand and took out something and gave it to Rhodes: "This is what the Emperor asked me to bring to you. He said it is your reward."

It was a golden spear.

Rhodes knew this thing when he saw it.

There was no way I could refuse to go to that sealed space with Xiao this time.

Even the divine weapon once used by Emperor Rock King was used as a reward. What else can I say?

Chapter 228 The Past of the Black Snake Knight

Zhongli’s gift can be said to be a great gift.

Artifact-level weapons.

This is a rare thing in the entire continent of Teyvat.

The Wind Eagle sword in Qin's hand is already an heirloom of the Knights of Favonius.

Moreover, the power of that sword is indeed tempting to look at.

When I encountered the stragglers in Mond before.

Qin couldn't originally defeat the scattered soldiers with god-like bodies, but once the Wind Eagle Sword came out, any god-level body would have to avoid its edge. It was precisely because of the fear of the Wind Eagle Sword that gave Rhodes the opportunity to bombard the scattered soldiers.

Compared to Mondstadt, which has a heritage, Xumi, where the gods have been cut off, does not have any good artifact inheritance.

Otherwise, Nashida would have to get one for Rhode.

Unfortunately.

Due to the gap in the divine level.

Nashida had no stock, nor did the Great Mercy Tree King. The only possible stock was Apep, but Rhodes didn't dare to ask her for it.

So he has been using the weapon he obtained during the sacred ceremony.

Unexpectedly.

He hasn't accomplished anything since he came to Liyue.

Zhongli first gave out a magical weapon that he had used before.

The spear that penetrates the rainbow.

It is called a lance, so it is naturally different from a normal spear.

In length.

Guanhong is about one and a half times the length of Hepuyuan. Standing upright on the ground, it is almost as tall as two Xiaos.

"Forgive me for being disrespectful to the Immortal Master again."

Although it was not intentional, looking at the obvious height difference between Guan Hong and Xiao, Rhodes couldn't help but compare them in his mind.

There is really no getting around this three-foot-five-inch immortal joke.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts.

Rhodes continued to examine the Guanhong in his hand.

The heavy weight in his hand, the otherworldly material, and the sound of air tearing when he waved it lightly made him more and more delighted the more he looked at it.

you could put it that way.

Guanhong is the most effective weapon Rhodes has ever used.

The only drawback.

Maybe it's just a little too long.

Compared to the Fiery Sun Spear Technique he learned, it would take some time to adapt.

“What a nice gun.”

After praising him once more, Rhodes put away Guanhong and looked at Halfdan who had been standing there silently.

This stubborn and loyal knight.

Ever since Rhodes was brought here, he had not made any other moves. He just stood there like a wooden stake and watched Rhodes quietly.

"Okay, I've driven those people away. You can start dismantling these devices."

As he spoke, Rhodes looked up at the fountain above his head which was also inverted.

This spring is very special and has the ability to cleanse curses.

But this spring water was not created by the Kanreya people.

Instead, it existed in the ruins left by this ancient civilization until it was discovered by the Kanreyan people.

Think of this.

Rhodes turned his gaze back to Halfdan.

The old site of Kanreya is deep in Sumeru.

To get here, you must first cross the entire Xumi Desert, then pass through the rainforest area, and finally enter the rock abyss at Huachenggu, and then go deep into the ground until you find this relic that can suppress the spread of the curse.

This is not something that can be completed in one day.

Unless Halfdan and his men were staying near the ruins with the people of Kanria at that time.

But this is impossible.

Then think of the Black Snake Knights and Kanreya's war machines scattered throughout the Layered Abyss.

Rhodes roughly worked out a chronological order of the disaster in Kanria that year.

It was probably around five hundred years ago when Kanreya was experiencing a drastic change.

[Sword of the Last Light] Dainsleb asked Halfdan to "tell all the Black Snake Knights to protect the people of Kanria no matter what."

With this command.

Halfdan gathered his Black Snake Knights and led the organized citizens of Kanreya to break out of the war-torn capital of Kanreya.

that's it.

Under the protection of war machines and black snake knights, the surviving citizens of Kanreya wandered in the Sumeru Desert, which was filled with monsters after the dark disaster broke out.

But with the defeat of Kanriya.

Not only did the homeland fall apart, but the curse from heaven also came along.

The bodies of those ordinary people in Kanreya gradually began to change. First, their skin fell off, then their limbs rotted, and then their consciousness became increasingly blurred. The temperature of their blood slowly drained away from their broken bodies, until they finally turned into a hideous monster that had lost its mind and was feared by everyone.

Worse.

Not everyone has this mutation.

Panic spread among these poor people who had lost their hometown.

Rhodes could imagine it.

In order to maintain the stability of the team, Halfdan and his Black Snake Knights had to do their best to reduce everyone's panic while sending people to look for ways to suppress the curse.

It may have taken them a year, ten years, or even dozens of years.

finally.

The Kanreyans found the ruins and the holy spring that could be used to weaken the curse.

So Halfdan assembled all the war machines that could still be operated, took the surviving people of Kanreya, crossed the entire Xumi, and after going through untold hardships, arrived at this ruins.

Rhodes had no idea whether the dark disaster in Liyue had subsided by the time Halfdan and his companions arrived at the Stone Abyss.

However, referring to the historical documents of both Xumi and Liyue, no one has mentioned this large-scale and strange team carrying huge machines.

Rhodes was 90% sure.

That was when Halfdan and his men arrived at the Chasm, and Liyue was still in the midst of war.

at this point in time.

Liyue may not have started bringing in the dark monsters into the Chasm yet.

However, even if the Layered Abyss had not been involved in a war with the dark monsters at that time, the time difference would not be much longer.

all in all.

Halfdan and his companions had finally settled down in the ruins not long ago.

They were infected by the abyss brought by the dark monsters.

The war machines that originally belonged to them also lost the most basic ability to distinguish friend from foe under the influence of the power of the abyss. For this reason, Halfdan and his men had to put these machines that were originally used to protect the people into hibernation and send them to the ruins.

But this holy spring can only weaken the curse on them, it is impossible to purify it.

The years are passing by.

Even with the help of the Holy Spring, the citizens of Kanreya still inevitably turned into Hillichurls. Under the dual effects of the catalysis of the power of the abyss and the curse, the Black Snake Knights' flesh and bones melted away, their consciousness wore away, and they became the dark shells that only remembered to protect their citizens.

Although Halfdan had lost most of his intellect, he still retained some human sanity.

But he had long lost the ability to judge people and things.

He could not see anything unusual in the change in Rhodes' expression. He just nodded mechanically to express his gratitude to Rhodes.

Subsequently.

He swung the giant sword in his hand and with one sword, he shattered the amplification device that the Abyss Cult had installed with great difficulty.

Chapter 229 Halfdan's Gift

“He has a strong will.”

While Halfdan went to other rooms to destroy other devices, Xiao took the initiative to speak.
