Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Paimon: "Firelight, don't worry too much, we will definitely find him."

"Find him, and find out why! I'll always be there for you!"

Traveler: "Yes, thank you, Paimon."

Paimon: "Hehehe."

Chapter 365 A Man's Promise

The Black Serpent Rider did not seek victory, but only that the Hilichurls could escape.

They rush towards the traveler not because the 'threat' is ineffective, but to buy time for the Hilichurls behind them to escape.

From the very beginning, they were fighting to the death!

The readers fell silent. They had felt relieved when they saw the Black Serpent Knights before, but now they almost shed tears for them. This change was too sudden!

I was just saying I'd slap them twice, but now I have to get up and slap myself twice even when I'm sleeping at night.

Although they are, in a strict sense, enemies of Kanria, they are willing to show respect to each other when faced with a worthy adversary.

What's that saying? 'It is not the fault of a gentleman who is born into a small country.'

The Hilichurl Travelers, protected by the Black Serpent Knights, would not attack. Let them quietly face their end; afterward, they might become pure monsters.

The remaining rooms were also full of Hilichurls, but the Black Serpent Knights were no longer protecting them; it's likely that Hafdan had called them away earlier.

The traveler did not disturb the Hilichurls and continued toward the room in the center of the ruins.

Inside the central room is a pool, which is also upside down, yet no water drips down.

This pool has a 'purifying' ability to alleviate the curse on the Kanriyans, which is why the Hilichurls gather in the nearby rooms.

Although the pool has the ability to 'purify', it cannot eradicate the curse. The curse of Kanria is like a part of them. Eradicating the curse is like burning a part of the body, and in the end, even survival will be difficult.

Hafdan arrived, but instead of speaking, he turned and left, clearly indicating that the travelers and the others should follow.

Hafdan led the travelers and others to a Hilichurl camp where the Hilichurls had all perished.

All that remains is a campfire and a single flower.

Hilichurls are afraid of light in their final moments, which is one of the reasons they hide in the Deep Rock Abyss. But why is there a campfire here? Aren't they afraid of the light?

Paimon: "Could it be that, in the very last moment, I still want to feel the light and warmth?"

Paimon's guess was quite a surprise to the readers. They never knew you were so cultured. How did you end up doing reading comprehension?

As for the last remaining flower, Lin Qiu drew a close-up picture, which readers are very familiar with—it's the flower Yingmei wears in her hair.

Readers have seen this flower countless times along the way with Yingmei, but they never knew what it was. Now, Dain has told them.

"It's the national flower of Kanria—the Intiwat."

"If a petal is plucked and taken away from the land of Kanria, it will no longer grow and will become very hard."

[“Only when they return to their homeland will the petals soften again, eventually returning to the dust…”]

Therefore, Intewat also symbolizes "the wanderer" and signifies "the tenderness of one's homeland."

This is the first time everyone has heard the name of this flower.

In the story, Yingmei reached out and touched Intiwat, and in an instant, scenes from her memories flooded her mind.

Lin Qiu depicted this scene in comic form, showing the conversation between Kong and the Apostle of the Abyss.

[Empty: "By focusing excessively on the great cause of opposing 'Heavenly Principles,' they have forgotten their mission of 'restoring the nation.'"]

It turns out that Sora had already prepared the device, seemingly intending to use it to purify the curse on the Hilichurls.

Sora himself knew the success rate of this operation was extremely low, but he still wanted to try.

[Empty: "For 'them,' it's better to return to the 'cycle' sooner rather than live without dignity."]

"Don't let 'them' continue to bear...those undeserved sins."

To restore their kingdom, they need their people to purify the curse of the Hilichurls; they are the foundation for the restoration of Kanria.

Daines Reeb scoffed at the idea of ​​empty space, saying the plan had less than a one percent chance of success.

He claimed that he had coexisted with the curse for five hundred years and that no one understood the curse better than him.

The curse will not be removed; all that will remain for the Hilichurls is unspeakable suffering, and they will eventually die in agony.

This time, Ying also chose to stand against her brother, because these Hilichurls have already chosen their own destiny, and her brother should not make choices for other lives.

“Ying…” Kong sighed.

Other readers naturally agreed that Yingmei's choice was correct.

Although they are unable to empathize with the Hilichurls, they are also unable to sympathize with Kanria.

But Yingmei is right. These Hilichurls are already waiting for the end, so why let them die in pain?

Yingmei decided to stop Kong, and Hafdan achieved his goal. He deliberately led Yingmei here so that she could see everything and stop it.

He protected the Hilichurls once again.

When the Traveler left the Hilichurl camp, he encountered the Abyssal Apostle, a water elemental, again. This time, the Apostle confronted the Traveler and Dain directly and did not run away.

He sacrificed his life to buy time for his companion, giving him time to activate the device.

When the traveler and Dain arrived, a Thunder Abyss Singer had already activated the device.

This device amplifies the effect of the pool, multiplying its 'purification' capabilities and spreading its influence to the surrounding area.

The Hilichurls were in extreme pain, and even the Black Serpent Riders found it difficult to stand.

Under this painful onslaught, even Dain was swaying unsteadily, her steps faltering, and she cried out in pain.

"Ugh—is it too late?" Dain said painfully.

"Must they all...end their lives in extreme pain?"

Dain covered his forehead, his gaze darting around at the device, his mind focused entirely on resisting the force.

Yingmei, who was standing to the side, drew her sword, intending to break the device to stop it, but she froze in place before she could even move.

What did she see? What she saw was turned into an illustration by Lin Qiu.

It was the back view of a black serpent knight, struggling to move, his weapon lying to the side.

But he didn't stop; he kept getting closer to the painful device.

The closer he got, the stronger the device's effect became, and the Black Serpent Knight's pace slowed down, but he never stopped.

The black serpent knight named Hafdan roared and strode toward the agonizing device; at that moment, his will triumphed over the pain.

[Dain: "Hafdan! What you're doing will...!"]

In that case, Hafdan would surely die, but Hafdan still did not stop. In the illustration, he roars and runs.

He lunged at the device, leaping up and pinning it beneath him. In the instant before he lunged at the device, he regained some of his 'human' memories.

That was a promise made by a 'man'.

Chapter 366 You Are Still My Glory

The fleeting scene in the illustration is the moment he and Dain made a promise by hooking their arms.

Dain: "Tell all Black Serpent Knights that no matter what, protect the people of Kanria."

Hafdan's body pressed down on the device, interrupting its power transmission. This pain would no longer affect others, as he bore it all alone.

He protected the people of Kanria, and he succeeded.

In the last painting, Hafdan falls onto the device, but even though he has fallen, he is still pressing the device down with his body.

Readers exclaimed that indeed, no matter which country it is, there are such great people.

Before there was time for much reflection, the reader's attention was drawn to the following plot: the Abyss Singer who had activated the device returned.

[Abyss Priest: "Get out of my way, you nuisance!"]

The Thunder Abyss Singer was very dissatisfied and wanted to throw Hafdan away.

The Traveler and Dain naturally wouldn't allow it, and immediately gave him a good beating. However, even after they dealt with the Abyss Singer device, it didn't stop.

At this moment, Hafdan used his body to block the device, so the pain of the others was reduced a lot, but if Hafdan were moved away, the impact would continue.

The traveler hurriedly searched for and destroyed all the power sources before finally stopping the device.

It was all over. Dain came to Hafdan's side. Hafdan was dead. He knew it, but even he couldn't accept reality. He just stared blankly at him.

[Dain: "..."]

After a long silence, Dain said, "...Let's go."

Just then, the dazzling light caught Daines Reeb's attention.

An illustration depicts Hafdan as a human, looking at Dain and instinctively raising his hand to greet him.

However, in the next painting, he seemed to realize something was wrong, withdrew his raised hand and placed it in front of his chest, giving a salute.

[Hafdan: "I'm sorry, Lord Dainesreb, the 'Sword of the End,' back then... I failed you, I couldn't protect my people."]

He felt guilty because he believed he had failed to keep his promise to Dain and had failed to protect his people, who had all turned into monsters.

Dain was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected to have the chance to see Hafdan again and communicate with him once more.

[Dain pursed her lips, clenched her fist, and retorted firmly, "No, you have fulfilled your responsibilities over these five hundred years."]

Dain placed his clenched fist against his chest and returned the gesture: "To this day, you remain my honor."

Hearing this, Hafdan was very moved, but he was too embarrassed to show it, so he scratched his head to hide his emotions.

[Hafdan: "Kanria hasn't fallen, has it? After all, you're still standing here."]

The close-up shot focuses on Dain, whose eyes tremble before finally revealing a slight smile and a gentle nod.

Dain: "Mmm."

Having received an affirmative answer, Hafdan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and quietly awaited 'death'.

[Dain: "Therefore, there's no need to restore the country."]

Because, Kanria has not yet fallen.

With Halfdan gone, Dain breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his forced composure, and coughed lightly.

The device also caused him considerable damage. Dain was very vulnerable at the moment and needed some time to recover.

With Dain's departure, this journey through the Layered Rock Abyss has come to an end.

But as you all probably remember, this adventure started with a request from a miner, so the traveler has to go back and report.

This story has come to an end, leaving readers deeply moved. But more than the emotion, the story is packed with information, revealing a great deal about Kanria and the Abyss.

The leaders of various countries naturally took it seriously, including those from Xumi.

Several 'high-ranking' people were joking around in the tavern, including Lin Qiu and 'Catherine'.

"Lin Qiu, are you on vacation this time?" Kavi asked.

"I might have to stay permanently," Lin Qiu said with a smile.

El-Hysen's expression hardened; Lin Qiu's intention to stay permanently was not good news.

Look at Liyue and Inazuma ahead, he stays wherever he has business.

Tina also realized the problem and asked Lin Qiu with some concern about the events that Sumeru might encounter.

Lin Qiu responded to this by saying, "The Buddha said: It cannot be spoken."

Lin Qiu hadn't even told Naxida what they would encounter; there were some things they would have to solve themselves.

This time it's different from Inazuma's situation; it's not something that Lin Qiu can solve by simply beating Yingbao up.

Oh, this time it wasn't Shadow Treasure that I drew, it was Shadow's Skirmisher No. 1.

It doesn't matter who you draw the ball from, because the skirmisher is just being used as a tool. Unlike the Shadow, he is not the key to this crisis.
