Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

They just put on masks to participate in a game, and surrounded a young man with peace of mind.

The fear of my true face gradually faded away, and the uneasiness in my heart slowly dissipated.

Suddenly leaving the place where I had lived for a long time,

Because of this extremely gentle confession, their confusion about coming to this strange island finally disappeared.

"."

Just standing here, I can sense the peace of mind of the hill people in front of me.

Lin Feng and Kong beside him did not speak either.

After a pause, he gently waved and greeted several Abyss Mages who were helping the Hilliculers build a temporary shelter.

Kong looked at the Abyss Apostle who was sitting next to the two Hillilks in the distance, and said with some emotion:

".Beside Lais are his family, who were found in the wilderness of Liyue a few days ago.

When they were found, they were all wearing easily identifiable ornaments, exactly the same as the one he kept."

".A long time ago, some members had made similar attempts, but after all, the Seven Nations did not welcome us, and the transformed Hill Culverts rarely had obvious characteristics.

When a few successful people come back after going through untold hardships, they find that their families can no longer be the same as before.

Because they are afraid to face all this, the members of the cult have not taken similar actions for a long time. "

".If it weren't for the possibility you showed them, they would have regained hope.

Then the only motivation for the cult members to survive is probably revenge against the gods."

——Transforming into an Abyss Mage or even an Abyss Apostle does not mean losing past memories and sanity. At least there are some ways to suppress the influence of the Abyss within the cult.

But too much time will gradually erode everything. If we cannot find new spiritual coordinates, the uncontrollable desire for destruction will eventually slowly drive away our only rationality.

"."

Concentrating on observing this area, Lin Feng did not reply.

He knew the destructive power of the abyss to the world, and he also knew that the war was bound to happen.

Rather than saying that it is the gods who destroyed the godless kingdom, it would be more accurate to say that it is Teyvat who intercepted the power of the abyss.

However, there are also many records in the Order of the Immortals of the Kanreya Anti-War Faction going to other countries to desperately intercept the Abyss Monsters and fight to the last man.

Influenced by this, he had no ill will towards the Kanriya people who could only be transformed into ordinary hillbillies.

".Hmm? Are you here?"

Suddenly, I felt an interference from the consciousness level, and instantly realized that this was most likely caused by Kaliber using the Loom of Destiny.

This communication method similar to dreams is not unfamiliar to me.

Lin Feng recalled Kong's evaluation of Kalibel as the "purest member of the cult".

Because of a little curiosity in his heart, he used his current power to pull the source of interference into the space of consciousness.

".Thank you for giving me this opportunity to meet you. I just felt that the power of the Loom of Destiny could no longer affect you."

"..To be able to help all members of the cult find their 'meaning' again, and even bring back so many Hillchur people, I never thought that one day I would be able to witness such a situation with my own eyes."

"——If I'm not mistaken, this should be the consciousness space you built, right? It's incredible, I can only exist in my memory."

In the emerald green space surrounded by clear water, Kaliber, who exuded a "gentle" aura, looked at the green grass under his feet in surprise.

Because the feeling coming from his side was too real, he even thought for a moment that he had returned to the time when he was still alive hundreds of years ago.

I took a breath of fresh air, looked up at the "benefactor" sitting at the table in front of me and extended his hand to invite me.

Kaliber, who had not been able to communicate with anyone in this way for a long time since his death in childhood,

Because of some sudden impact, he stayed where he was in a trance.

Chapter 385: Wendy: I’m not lying to you, the real secret of the wind attribute is weakness!

Inside the consciousness space, next to the white round wooden table.

Kaliber, who was once a world-class tool and the key to the cult's plan, now looks like an ordinary scholar in the Order.

Beside the two of them, dots of emerald green fluorescence, like inverted stars, slowly rose from the lower layer of this dream space.

The moment he met those blue eyes, the black-haired young man, whose temperament was no different from that of the boy next door, was distracted for a moment again.

"I never thought that the cult would see such a day."

After a moment of silence, Kalibel spoke.

".The previous cult was too silent and desperate, as depressing as the abyss itself.

Endless hatred and sadness filled the hearts of His Royal Highness and every member, and it was your help that changed all of this."

In an extremely light way, he described the situation where his leader was captured and signed a contract as "help".

Kalibel's view on that accident was obviously different from that of most members of the Abyss Cult.

".Help?"

"So it seems that you are not as enthusiastic about restoring the country as other members?"

On the other side of the table, Lin Feng pushed the dessert in his hand in front of Kalibel. He was not surprised by what he heard.

".Is this edible?"

"Sure, please feel free."

"Thank you."

After getting permission, Kalibel tentatively picked up a slice of cake.

Taking a bite, the sweetness of the cake not only activated the taste buds, but also awakened Kaliber's memory that had been dormant for hundreds of years:

"I died a long time ago, and my memory is stuck at the age of eight."

He said slowly.

".According to members of the Order, I was my father's 'illegitimate child', but it wasn't until many years later that I figured out what that meant."

".In my memory, although my father was the founder of the Abyss Cult, his greatest wish was probably to die with my mother."

Kalibel briefly mentioned his life story, as if he had gotten used to such sadness:

"After the cult was established, my father left and the leadership responsibility was passed to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Every member of the cult, the hill people, priests, mages, apostles.

These monsters in the eyes of ordinary people were once people who had hope for tomorrow."

"However, there are few members of the cult who were truly great figures in the past, and the lofty goal of "restoring the country" was not something we cared about at first.

It is only after experiencing countless failures and pains, facing the irreversible situation,

Because they are unwilling to admit all this, the current cult has finally regarded "restoration of the nation" as a substitute for "restoring everything to the way it was before."

"."

At the beginning, although their bodies had become inhuman, all members had their own wishes.

But when all those wishes are shattered and only despair remains,

The only reason that allows everyone to continue to persevere in this manner is "restoration of the country" or "revenge."

After a brief pause,

Kalibel pointed at himself and explained:

".In that era, I was a person without an identity. I was too young when I died, and even my current appearance is just my father's expectation of me when I grow up."

"For someone like me, the concept of 'country' is too vast.

I don’t think that the reappearance of a ‘Kanria’ will make all the tragedies of the past go away.”

". During the days when I lived as a Qiuqiu person, an indescribable fear filled my heart.

The sun is covered with dust, the wind is filled with whispers,

In this dim world, it seems that every minute and every second of existence is a punishment for a sinner like me.

So, in the brief moment when I regained consciousness, a naive wish emerged in my heart,

Coincidentally, I can still remember that wish clearly:

"——This is all so cruel. I wish others wouldn't have to endure the torture I've endured."

"."

“That’s indeed a good wish.”

I can feel the pure kindness towards the world and others in the heart of this young man.

Recalling the conditions of the birth of the Loom of Destiny,

At this moment, Lin Feng finally understood why letting such a person fall into the deepest despair was a necessary step for the loom of fate:

——In terms of the nature of the power of the abyss, this extreme emotion that perfectly blends innocence and kindness, contradiction and pain,

No matter how you think about it, it is undoubtedly the most suitable ritual sacrifice.

"."

After a pause, some more snacks were served on the table.

I understand why Kalibel has such heartfelt gratitude and respect for me.

During this time, he personally transformed a certain little yellow-haired abyss from the leader of a terrorist organization into an entry-level farmer.

Lin Feng looked at Kalibel in front of him and said softly:

".Don't think about the troubles for now, take a break now."

".Don't worry, I can guarantee that one day in the future, your wish will come true."

——I don’t want to restore my country, I don’t want to cause trouble, my biggest wish is that others don’t have to experience my pain,

Because he had no ill will towards most of the civilians of Kanriya from the very beginning, Lin Feng didn't mind making his promise here.

After a while, return to the outside world.

"Ya Dala, Ya Dala!"

As soon as Lin Feng came out, he found a large group of hill people surrounding him.

They seemed to be vying to give him some of the food and glowing stones in their hands.

From the dancing movements of these hill people, one can vaguely sense their respect and friendliness.

Thinking of the changes before and after, he looked back into the void. At this moment, he also retrieved from his memory a sentence that Kalibel had left for him:

"——Thank you very much. Your help is crucial for us to be able to live here without being disturbed.

Although the Qiuqiu people have forgotten their memories and civilization, they still know how to be grateful.

I have told my compatriots about your deeds. If you don’t mind, please accept these gifts.”

"."

He looked at the strange grilled meat and fish handed to him by the hill people in front of him in silence.

Because no one in Xumi would give such things to gods,

Lin Feng faced those expectant gazes, but finally heaved a sigh and decided to accept them all, and give them to Wendy as a snack when he returned.

In return, they gave us some high-quality fruit trees and crop seeds that could grow quickly even when absorbing seawater.

It took me a long time to finally squeeze out from the crowd of enthusiastic hillbillies.

I always feel that Kalibel's talent in ideological work seems a bit too strong.

After saying goodbye to the little yellow-haired creature from the abyss behind him, who was full of question marks and inexplicably felt that his status had declined, Lin Feng finally returned to Mondstadt from this "country of the hillbillies".

"—Wendy, get up and work."

"——If you delay any longer, you will have to pay me back the original price for all the scholar benefits I got."

The next morning, inside the scholars' residential area, at the residence of a drunkard.

After knocking on the door twice without any response, Lin Feng could only sigh and resort to his final resort.
