Chapter 260: The Past!
"The Crown Prince?"
Ying realized that her brother had experienced a lot while she was asleep.
"Although Kanria's technology was advanced, human desires were insatiable. Without divine protection, no one could restrain their desires. Ultimately, Kanria touched upon forbidden power—the power of the abyss!"
"The power of the abyss immediately brought endless disasters to Kanria and even to the Seven Kingdoms. The gods of Sky Isles—the Keepers of Heaven's Law—discovered this and immediately led the Seven Gods to completely destroy Kanria."
"The upholder of natural justice?"
Ying asked a question, for she had not forgotten that it was this self-proclaimed guardian of justice who had blocked her and her brother's path and sealed her away.
"Tenri is an extremely powerful deity, and like us, she is an outsider. Teyvat used to be a world of dragons. Tenri came to this world, defeated the dragons, established human order, and separated four shadows to protect this world. They are the four rulers of life, death, time, and space. Tenri's maintainer is most likely the ruler of space."
Lin Yu briefly explained the situation related to the principles of Heaven.
Ying nodded, finally understanding why the strangers who upheld the principles of justice were preventing her and her brother from leaving.
"When the cataclysmic event struck Kanria, your brother, seeing Kanria on the verge of destruction and you asleep, finally decided to wake you up and take you away from this world."
"But as you know, the guardians of justice blocked your path and sealed you away. When your brother returned to Kanria, he saw Kanria completely destroyed. Not only that, the people of Kanria were also cursed by justice. A small number of them became high-level monsters with intelligence, but they were in eternal pain. The majority of them became low-level monsters without reason, and they were never freed."
Lin Yu also felt that the punishment from Heaven was a bit too much. Although Kanria had indeed done something inhumane, it was only the higher-ups who intended to plunder the power of the abyss. Ordinary people should not have to suffer such cruel punishment as well.
"Perhaps because he felt guilty towards Kanria, your brother decided to lead them to overthrow the laws of nature and resurrect Kanria."
.
"That's a general overview of your brother's experiences."
Lin Yu finished speaking.
"elder brother..
""
Ying couldn't describe her feelings. She hadn't expected her brother to have gone through so much. Just from hearing Lin Yu tell her about it, she could feel her brother's struggle and pain, so she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Continue searching for your brother? And what should you do once you find him? Advise him to give up? Or help him overturn the laws of nature?
Ying felt her mind was in complete chaos and had no idea what to do next.
"Ying, don't overthink it. What you should do now is travel through the seven kingdoms like your brother, regain your strength, and find the truth of what happened back then."
"...Okay, I understand."
Ying felt that Lin Yu was right. Right now, she knew nothing and was very weak. No matter what she wanted to do, she couldn't do it. Perhaps after traveling through the seven kingdoms, she would be able to make choices and have the power to do what she wanted to do.
"I'm going back to rest now."
Ying took her leave.
Although there were still some things she wanted to know, she didn't have the energy to care about them right now and could only wait until later.
The next day, in the morning, the Knights assigned Lin Yu a guide to lead him to the temple protected by the Four Winds.
The rest was simple: find the node in the temple where the Wind Demon Dragon was gathering its power, and break it. Although there were some monsters blocking the way, they were no problem for Lin Yu, so the task was completed very easily.
Incidentally, Lin Yu's first mission in the Genshin Impact world was to defeat a Rock Helm Hilichurl King, with a reward of 20,000 points.
The Rock Helm Hilichurl King is not weak in Genshin Impact; it can be considered a mini-boss. Most Vision holders can't defeat it. Of course, it's nothing to Lin Yu.
However, most of the Rock Lizard Hilichurls are located in the Liyue region, so Lin Yu cannot complete this task for the time being.
After clearing the temple, Lin Yu returned to the Knights, and Ying and Ais also completed their mission.
After the three completed their mission, the Knights of Favonius awarded them the title of Honorary Knights in recognition of their merit in fighting Stormterror and saving Mondstadt.
The title of Knight of Honor not only brings various benefits in Mondstadt, but also a monthly stipend of 100,000 Mora.
This number is not small.
Unlike in the game, Mora is much more valuable in the real world, roughly worth ten times the value of RMB.
An average person's monthly salary is about 30,000 to 50,000 Mora, and 100,000 Mora per month is enough for a family to live a good life.
And this is just an allowance, the kind you can receive every month without doing anything.
"Great! We have money now! Ying, I'm hungry!"
After receiving Mora, Paimon excitedly told Yingdao.
"Alright, but after you finish eating, go register as an adventurer at the Adventurers' Guild. We can't afford to support a little foodie like you if we don't earn more money."
Ying smiled helplessly.
"Didn't they have 100,000 Mora?"
Ais asked, puzzled.
He already had some understanding of the purchasing power of this world's currency; for food alone, 100,000 Mora should be more than enough.
"One hundred thousand Mora isn't enough to feed this little guy."
Ying said irritably.
She didn't understand how this little thing could have such a big appetite and easily eat so much food.
Ais was even more puzzled. Judging from yesterday, Paimon did have a big appetite. He only ate about 70% full with a plate of honey-glazed carrots and fried meat, but 100,000 should have been enough, right?
"Could this little thing have lied yesterday?"
Lin Yu also realized something.
Yesterday, Paimon said she ate until she was 70% full, and Lin Yu didn't doubt it. After all, a serving of fried pork with honey-glazed carrots was quite a lot, but Paimon said she only ate until she was 70% full. That's equivalent to the appetite of two ordinary people. For Paimon, this little thing, her appetite is indeed quite big.
So even though Lin Yu knew that Paimon could eat 300,000 Mora a month, he thought it was just that Paimon was picky and wanted to eat good food, which was why he spent so much.
But now, hearing Ying say this, it seems Paimon might be lying; her appetite is much greater than she said yesterday.
"hey-hey."
Sanpaimeng smiled sheepishly. After all, someone else had treated her to dinner yesterday, so she was naturally embarrassed to eat too much.
"Interesting. I'd like to see how much you can eat, little thing. Didn't I say I'd treat you to a big meal yesterday? So this time it's on me. Eat as much as you want."
Lin Yu became interested and was very curious about Paimon's actual appetite.
"Really? Lin Yu, you really are a good person!"
Paimon excitedly gave Lin Yu a "friend zone" card.
She hadn't had a full meal in a long time. After all, in the wild, obtaining food depended on luck, and most of the time it was difficult to get enough food.
