RNP Chapter 435: The aftermath
Chapter 435: The aftermath
In the ancient ruins, in the temporary residence of the Abyss Cult, a severely injured and dying Apostle of the Abyss was carried in. Yuan Shang, who was in charge of guarding the Abyss, gasped when he saw this scene and felt sympathy for the tragic experience of this newcomer.
"Alas, it was so pitiful for him to accept such a dangerous mission at such a young age, and to be kicked into the sky by that guy and caught by the Wind Demon Dragon."
Yuanshang sighed, walked to the side of the Water Abyss Apostle, and ordered the Grass Abyss Mage and the Water Abyss Mage, who were good at healing, to heal him respectively.
Fortunately, he is still alive and can be saved, but he can only stay in the cult as a coach for the rest of his life. After all, his fighting power is only one tenth of what it used to be, and even if he is cured, he cannot defeat an ordinary abyss wizard.
The fusion of grass and water elements did not cause the grass seeds to explode. Instead, they balanced to a point and slowly healed the wounded.
Princess Ying of the Abyss, who came to check the dormitory at this moment, also saw this scene. She was not surprised by this result. After all, 20% of the contents recorded in the book were credible.
Ying sat on the throne, flipping through the books that the Abyss Mage had taken from the Knights' underground library. Each piece of information on the books might be the true history that had been modified by the World Tree.
In fact, she only knew a rough outline of the truth and secrets of the continent of Teyvat. Even if the core points and the truth were already known, they might be lies modified by the World Tree. She must pay attention to this.
Although the World Tree's ability to modify things cannot modify things that have already happened, it is enough to make people forget or misinterpret many things silently by starting with memory, and it is enough to make the truth of what happened in the world in the past rationalize in people's minds.
As someone who knew part of the truth about the World Tree, she understood that if she neglected the impact of this matter, the consequence would not only be the destruction of the Abyss Cult, but also an invisible barrier to the revival of Kanreya.
Among the various books and materials she has collected today, most of the truth about Teyvat has been distorted, even though she is not sure which part has been distorted.
For this reason, the books in the underground library of the Knights of Favonius are worth stealing.
Turning to the last page of the book, Ying silently closed the book, took a deep breath, and took out the newly published sixth volume of The Adventures of the Emperor's Son again, and began to compare it with the other fairy tale books in his hand.
Especially regarding the war between demons, there is a high possibility of discovering new clues.
……
Mondstadt, Knights of Favonius, in the office of acting leader.
There were many decorations, but in the environment surrounded by bookshelves, a charming and mature voice came from the mouth of a woman wearing a purple witch hat, green eyes, and brown-gray long hair:
"Noelle is just overtired, don't worry, Jean. With a balanced diet, she will be fine after a day of rest."
"Thank you, Lisa, if you weren't here I might have to take Noelle to Barbara's place."
"There are too many wounded people in Mond right now, and Barbara is very busy. You can imagine that bringing Noel to me is a wise move in a sense."
"I just had a sudden inspiration at the time. Considering that you, Lisa, have come from Xumi before, you should have learned something about medical knowledge, so I came here as a last resort."
Qin smiled helplessly, she was surprised that she could think of this. She turned her head to look at a young man who had been standing by the wall at the door. Judging from his attire, he was a young man from Liyue. She acted like a knight and said respectfully:
“But I still have to thank Mr. Ye Li for bringing Noelle here. It’s too far from here to West Wind Church, and we definitely won’t have enough time.
In addition to the help you have given to the people of Mondstadt, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your help. After the subsequent events are over, I will personally send a letter of condolence to Liyue and attach a betrothal gift to the Hall of the Dead in Liyue. Please accept it when the time comes."
"Captain Qin, this is just a simple favor. There's no need to make such a big fuss. Besides, Miss Noelle has helped me before. In Liyue's way of speaking, favors must be repaid. Now she and I are even."
Faced with Ye's tactful refusal, Qin Ben, who was a little distressed, wanted to say something, but Lisa spoke before her:
"Oh, Mr. Ye Li, don't be so quick to refuse. I heard from Noelle that you gave her a good gift. As the saying goes, no one owes anyone anything. You should have returned it to her a long time ago."
Ye Li's eyes fixed, and he did not refute Lisa's words, but said calmly:
"That's true, but that was a favor she had done before. Miss Lisa, you should have heard from Miss Noelle about the details of the battle."
"I see. It seems that Mr. Ye Li has not yet figured out the situation. The thank-you gift that Qin wants to give is not for your help to Noel, but for your help to the citizens of Mondstadt. Sir, you just subconsciously ignored what Captain Qin said."
"Since Captain Qin has said so, I can't refuse."
Seeing that Ye Li agreed to accept the thank-you gift, Qin silently gave a thumbs up to her good friend Lisa.
Lisa smiled. She knew a little about the reason why Ye refused to talk about helping the citizens of Mondstadt, but she did not expose him. She just asked him to accept Qin's thank-you gift in disguise.
Just as the three were about to continue discussing the dragon disaster, the door of the office was opened. A small figure came in like a cat, jumped onto Ye's head, clapped his hands and said:
"Meow! You bastard, do you know how dangerous it is outside? If it weren't for that drunkard Kaia who brought me here, I would have thought you..."
The sudden impact caused Ye Li to take several steps forward with a slightly unstable body. Qin and Lisa just smiled slightly when they saw this scene, and did not stop him. Instead, they made way for Ye to steady his steps.
Feeling the cat's claws hitting his head, Ye Li clearly felt that the opponent's strength was not strong, but he could definitely feel the crying and anger, and immediately said helplessly:
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, isn't it enough for me to apologize? Diona, I will help you destroy Mond Wine tomorrow, okay?"
"Humph! You're still destroying Mond Wine? Dragon Scourge helped me shut down the Cat's Tail Tavern for a while. Now all the taverns in the city are closed. How can you destroy it, you bastard?"
Hearing Diona's rebuttal, which seemed to make sense and was actually very consistent with the actual situation, Ye Li immediately used another method to coax the child.
Just when Ye Li was in a panic, several figures who walked in also saw this scene. Especially since everyone present knew Ye Li, it was even more ridiculous.
Paimon felt embarrassed when he saw Diona scratching and hitting Ye's head with her hands, but it seemed that the force was not that strong, just like tickling.
Kong couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. According to Paimon's introduction on the way here, Diona and Ye Li knew each other earlier than them, so this situation was very reasonable.
After all, if friends and companions get injured because of you, it would be worrying and a burden.
"Alright, alright, little Diona, Mr. Ye Li is not injured. The adults have some things to discuss now, so you can go to the confinement room next door and play with Ke Li first."
Lisa was tired of watching this interesting scene and immediately came to Ye's rescue. At the same time, Ye Li also used his eloquence to convince little Diona and successfully tricked her away.
Looking at the empty drink recipe in the suitcase, Ye Li sighed helplessly, then looked at everyone and said:
"Uh..., why are you looking at me like that? Aren't we supposed to discuss business?"
"Nothing, I just thought that scene just now was very interesting, don't you think so, Kaia?"
Facing the ball thrown by Lisa, Kaia was immediately frightened. He was tricked by this witch and could only say with an awkward but polite smile:
"Ahahaha, that's true. But right now, it's more important to talk about business. After all, the hero who helped us resist the dragon disaster is still here. We can't neglect him."
