The readers had followed the two on their adventures and didn't believe Paimon would betray the Travelers, thinking that Abyss was just trying to sow discord.

Seeing that the traveler didn't believe him, Yuan Shang was quite helpless. He sighed and said that he had stalled for time enough and it was time to go. Then he ran off.

The traveler also took the Blood Branch Coral back to the Coral Palace to turn in the quest to Lu Zi.

[Lu Zi: "Hero, hero, savior! On behalf of Lord Xin Hai and all the people of Hai Zhi Island, I thank you."]

She was generous with her praise, and with each compliment, Yingmei became more and more beautiful, her small mouth gradually turning into a cat's mouth, her expression becoming spirited.

Turning the page again reveals a series of short stories in which the traveler encounters many 'remnant souls' while exploring the Abyss Palace.

Through the words of Abe no Yoshihisa, Eboshi, and the Son of the Sun (Phaethon), I gradually learned about everything in the White Night Kingdom.

The more I learn about it, the sadder it becomes. The story is called "Phaethonians Dancing," a nice title. If you didn't know it, you'd think it was some kind of happy scene.

I only found out after reading it that none of them survived, not even one lived past ten years old.

The readers were both amused and exasperated. They had initially found the story quite entertaining because of Yuan Shang, but now they realized that the humor was only superficial.

That's right, this is the Qiu Cheng we know. How could he write something so warm and sunny?

These patricians were just like the emperors of the Ming Dynasty; they weren't very good at being emperors, but they were very knowledgeable in all sorts of miscellaneous things.

He was skilled in medicine, music, carving, crafts, travel and drawing, and even a fortune teller.

The fortune teller Phaethon was indeed quite skilled, but he couldn't predict anything for the traveler, which in turn elevated Lin Qiu's abilities.

Mona tilted her head back, her nose almost pointing upwards, as if to say, "See? I'm still pretty amazing! I can even figure out a little bit about the traveler!"

After several short stories, there is a long story called "The Sacrifice of the Three Realms".

In the story, after Shinkai holds the "Umigi-no-Miko Festival," this ritual is very important in order to reverse the "sanctification" of Umigi Island, and the blood coral is what is needed for the ritual.

However, when the traveler came to find Xin Hai, he discovered that Xin Hai seemed anxious about something and was arranging for people to deal with it.

It turns out that the transformation of the sacred land after the "Sea Spirit Festival" was not reversed, but only stopped. This was an unprecedented event, so Shinkai had no choice but to investigate.

Stopping is not enough; it will affect the agricultural industry on Haegeishima Island, even though the island's food supply does not rely on agriculture but mainly on livestock and fishing.

But nobody wants to only be able to eat fish and meat in the future and not be able to eat any vegetables or staple foods, right? No matter what, you'll get tired of it.

I'm not from Mondstadt, so I'll never get tired of drinking as long as there's alcohol to drink.

It is said that the people of Mondstadt are the most intolerant of "sacred land". After all, how can they make wine without arable land? They can't do without wine, as it is the water of life.

Character Voice Lines - Traveler: On Paimon's Betrayal

Paimon: "Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense! I would never betray the Traveler!"

Ying: "Yes, I believe you."

Paimon: "Hehehe, I knew you were the best!"

Chapter 331 The Sacrifice of the Three Realms

If Umijima Island were to rely on imports for its food, given the relationship between Umijima Island and Narukami Island, it wouldn't be a very good situation.

How unpleasant was it? Umijima Island already disliked the shogunate because of its religious beliefs, and then the Kansei-bu (military commissioner) made the people of Umijima Island even more dissatisfied.

The economic exploitation that Kandeshiki implemented was like adding gunpowder to a barrel; if left to accumulate, it would easily cause damage. The isolationist edict and the hunting edict became the fuse.

While Yingbao was 'farming' in his own little world, he didn't know that the top laner 'Nasus' was frantically stacking Qs, preparing to make his comeback.

Once war breaks out, stop calling me 'Dog Head,' call me 'Desert Reaper'!

Even after the war started and food became scarce, the people of Haizhi Island still wanted to fight, which shows that the resentment had run deep.

That said, Xin Hai had already sent a team to investigate Yuanxia Palace, and the information they received was that Yuanxia Palace was shrouded in black mist, and a group of 'monsters' had appeared there.

Black mist, monsters! Ying's eyes widened, and she reached for her chest with one hand. This was a classic Abyss invasion! She recognized it!

My greatsword is already itching for a fight! Yuan Shang, is it? I'll turn you into a 氵丿米丨上 in no time.

It's a pity that Yuan Shang in reality will probably never go to Baiye Kingdom again, because almost everything he wanted to know has already been written down by Lin Qiu.

As for events from the past, they're not so easy to find.

[Xin Hai: "Ying, I'm so sorry, but on behalf of Haizhi Island, I implore you to lend us your help once again."]

[The traveler: "Leave the sea of ​​my heart to me."]

Ying: I will ignite the sea of ​​my heart!

Xin Hai couldn't stand Ying's directness and was a little shy.

"Please, please stop joking."

"However, thank you for being willing to risk your life again for Haiqi Island."

Xin Hai and Ying Mei went to find Lu Zi to gather information, intending to personally escort Ying Mei to Yuanxia Palace.

When Ruko saw Kokoro and Yingmei walking together, she automatically ignored Paimon and showed Anya's signature sly smile (???).

[Ruko: "I see, you two must be here on a date."]

Paimon floated beside him, looking completely bewildered. "Two of you? Am I even human? Am I even human?"

To this, Lu Zi can only say, aren't you a confession balloon?

Feeling a little shy at his subordinates' teasing, Xin Hai coughed twice and said:

"Ahem... Be serious, Ruko. Otherwise... next year you and Naki will switch shifts and take charge of the floating spirit ecosystem management on Haiqi Island."

The white-floating spirit Paimon nodded. "Be serious, I'm here too!"

Seeing that her boss was shy, Lu Zi quickly restrained herself, fearing that if she continued to tease him, she might be banished to the frontier for wearing a shrine maiden outfit.

With a serious expression, Ruko prepared to explain the matter of Fukushita Palace to the traveler.

However, Paimon's composure crumbled instantly when he called out "Heart Sea" by name, revealing a knowing smile.

[Lu Zi: "Heart Sea, ho ho."]

Readers understand now. No wonder Lin Qiu didn't write about the story of Coral Palace Heart Sea, and even said that Arataki Ichito had a story. How could the living human goddess of Coral Palace not have one? It turns out that's why!

I am a botanist, and this is a lily.

In the story, Ruko did indeed restrain herself, only letting out a couple of strange laughs before getting down to business.

She told the traveler that the Abyss Palace was shrouded in darkness and that there were now more suits of armor that allowed for free movement.

These armors injured the Ray Third Division, who went to investigate, but fortunately a priestess named "Agi" helped to heal them.

Shin-ha was somewhat unfamiliar with this A-ki, as she was not listed in the shrine maiden register of the Coral Palace.

However, she seems to be helping the Coral Palace, presiding over the "Thousand Lantern Festival" at the Abyss Palace, maintaining a sliver of light that has become a 'refuge'.

[Ruko: "Someone mentioned that she was wearing a strange mask that covered the upper half of her face."]

Thump thump! The reader's heart skipped a beat as they caught the keyword 'masked shrine maiden'!

The last masked priestess didn't have a good ending!

Hana Sanri, who no longer wears a mask, has already traveled to Umijima Island and is unaware of the story in the book.

After reviewing the intelligence, Xin Hai said, "I have already dispatched the Swordfish Squadron 1 to Abyss Palace to continue evacuating the wounded. Ying, you can go with them."

Lu Zi smiled at Anya without saying a word. "Look at them, Ying and Xin Hai calling each other. I won't bother them anymore, I'm leaving."

The traveler also left. She came to the Abyss Palace with the Swordfish Squad. This time, the place was shrouded in black mist, which looked rather ominous.

Beneath the Great Sun Palace, only a sliver of light remains, and there lives a shrine maiden named Agi.

This priestess named Agi seems to know little about humans. When she met the travelers, she even wondered if they were human because of their clothing. Could Paimon be a human child?

She didn't know much about humans, but she knew a lot about dragon lizards, and spoke about them in great detail.

She even explained to the travelers the "Dragon Lizard Realm," one of the Three Realms.

"In reality, the Dragon Lizard Realm refers to a pure, primordial world of elemental beings; its name in the book is 'The Realm of Light.'"

The Seven Kings of the 'Light Realm' are the Seven Elemental Dragons, representing the pinnacle of primal, untamed elemental power.

This has certainly broadened the readers' horizons; so this is what the so-called Dragon Lizard Realm is all about.

Many readers have begun to analyze the identities of the Seven Dragon Kings of the Elements. Is Rota one of them, or is Dvalin one?

It has to be said that the information revealed in this story is quite extraordinary, leaving most ordinary people in Teyvat somewhat dizzy.

My eyes gradually went blank, my brain started to give up thinking, it was so full that I was about to roll my eyes.

The traveler obtained some information from Aqi, but she didn't trust Aqi enough, so she planned to ask the wounded for more information.

Among the wounded was a man named Kang Jingmo. They couldn't get any useful information from him about whether Miss Kang Jingmo was married or not.

Another wounded soldier named Imaizumi was much more normal. He told the traveler that he had noticed that Miss Agi's pupils were snake eyes.

The people of Haigi Island knew a legend that the first servant of Haigi Ōmikami was a half-human, half-snake, so they believed that Agi was a servant of Haigi Ōmikami and could be trusted.

After gathering all the information, the traveler decided to temporarily trust Agi and work together with her to deal with the 'monsters' invading the Abyss Palace.

Aqi told the traveler that the thick fog in the abyss was related to the three towers, which were created by a creature from the abyss.

Upon hearing this, Yingmei was wide awake. This must be that guy Yuanshang!

It was indeed the abyss. Agi reminded the traveler that the creature in the abyss was not easy to deal with and that he should be careful.

[Traveler: "Don't worry, that guy just likes getting beaten up."]

Chapter 332 The Sacrifice of the Three Realms - End

Yuan Shang, who enjoys getting beaten up, is currently waiting for the traveler in the library where they first met.

When the traveler arrived, he wanted to chat with Ying for a bit, but Ying preferred to settle things with her fists.

After several exchanges, Ying stepped on Yuan Shang, raised his fist, and prepared to smash it into Yuan Shang's face.

If Yuan Shang could 'bleed', the scene would be even more beautiful if a few drops of blood were splashed on Ying Mei's face.

The creature calling itself "Abyss": "Stop! Stop! I'm going to die if you hit me again!"

Ying still didn't loosen her fist: "That's what we came for!"

The readers were amused. Keep it up, big brother who uses fire element, don't die here!

Yuanshang, hurry up and say the safe words!

Such a funny person can't have died so soon, right?

Yuan Shang has never 'successfully' done anything bad, so readers don't feel any threat from him, and even feel that it doesn't matter if they let him go, feeling that he is unlikely to achieve anything great.

To everyone's surprise, Yuan Shang actually uttered a 'safe word'—he mentioned that woman!

[Yuan Shang hurriedly asked, "That woman, the woman with slender pupils, what did she call herself?"]

That woman? What does she call herself? The True Lord of Leaving Clouds and Borrowing Wind.

Okay, so Yuan Shang wasn't talking about Liu Yun but A Qi. What a disappointment, this is clearly the keyword for Liu Yun.

But regardless, this 'safety word' worked, and Yingmei stopped and decided to listen to what Yuanshang had to say.

"You guessed it too, right? Deep-sea dragon lizards are a very intelligent and rapidly evolving species. There have been such legends for over a thousand years."

"—The Dragon Lizardman."

Villette:?

Besides me, have the dragon lizards also evolved into humans?

Seeing that the traveler had stopped, Yuan Shang finally stood up, dusted himself off, and continued:

"In bright light, a lizard's pupils appear as long, thin vertical lines. This is irrefutable proof of her betrayal."
