Just moments ago, everyone remembered Daines Reeb, but the next second he appeared in the corner of the screen 'eavesdropping'.

When Kaia mentioned "Albury," Dain stepped forward and said:

"...Boss, one 'Death in the Afternoon'."

"Death in the Afternoon" is Kaiya's favorite drink. It's unclear whether he knows or cares about Kaiya, or if he simply enjoys drinking it too.

[Dain continued, "I wonder if this gentleman understands... what 'Alberridge' means?"]

In fact, Kaiya was just fishing. He had already spotted Dain, so he used the topic of "Alberridge" to lure Dain out.

Dain is really easy to catch; it's caught with ease.

Then the two had a friendly unboxing interaction, with Kaeya calling out Dain's name and Dain calling out Kaeya's name in return.

Dain said, "Since you remember me, then we're old acquaintances. Mr. Kaia Albury... a descendant of the founder of the Abyss Order..."

The surname Alberridge is unfamiliar to the Teyvats, but the title 'Founder of the Abyss Order' is much more familiar.

Throughout Teyvat, the entire world is persecuted by the Abyss Order; no one is unaware of this order.

The title 'descendants of the founders of the Abyss Order' is far more provocative than the simple 'Kanria people'.

Do people still think there are good people among the Kanria? The Abyss Order? Although the Traveler's blood relatives seem to have some unspeakable secrets, the Order's actions are not to be admired.

This is mainly because people can't distinguish between the Abyss and the Abyss Order. They lump both sides together, which makes them even more resentful.

[Kaiya sighed: "Oh dear, this surname is so 'troublesome,' which confirms my previous guess. Is this why Father left me in Mondstadt...?"]

Kaiya meant that he only knew the surname, and he would have to wait for Dain to tell him the specific meaning of the surname.

Kaeya seemed genuinely unaware of anything, which dispelled everyone's 'resistance' towards him.

As the initial resistance subsided, doubt arose: since Kaya was a Kanriyan, and a pure-blooded Kanriyan at that.

Then...why didn't he turn into a monster?

It can't be said that only a few things have changed, and only the moves have become similar to the Abyss Ice Mage, right?

Jean was also pondering this question. This clue was quite significant; it was one that even they didn't know about, except for Diluc.

However, this will not affect everyone's feelings for him. After all these years of getting to know each other, everyone is more willing to trust their own judgment and also trust the Wind God's decision.

But the Knights of Mondstadt are indeed pondering why Kaeya hasn't mutated.

Wait, could it be that Kaeya's dark skin is actually the result of a curse? None of the other Kanriyans are this dark.

Mondstadt isn't a very hot place, so getting a tan isn't really an issue.

I glanced at Kaeya twice, but I couldn't see anything else wrong. Could it be that his usual pranks on us are also due to a curse?

It seems that ever since they learned that Kaeya might be 'cursed', the Knights have been thinking in increasingly peculiar ways.

Their ideas are unconventional, and the topics in their stories are quite sensational.

[Kaeya says: "Hey, isn't our conversation suddenly getting a bit too serious? As a Mondstadt native, I'm not used to this kind of atmosphere..."]

He first stated his position and identity, and then left the meeting.

Because he himself is quite conflicted about his identity, he doesn't want to dwell on this topic.

The remaining Traveler and Dain were still talking. The Traveler had a question: Albury was the founder of the Order, and my brother was the prince of the Abyss Order.

What is the relationship? Did my brother change his surname to Albury when he came to Canria?

Ideally, he should be an 'honorable prince' or 'honorable royalty,' as she doesn't want to have extra brothers and sisters out of nowhere.

In fact, this doubt is somewhat unnecessary. Sora is the 'Prince of the Abyss', not the 'Prince of the Abyss Order'.

Besides her questions about her brother, Ying also had questions about Dai Yin: What are you doing in Sumeru?

Dain said he came to investigate "the loom of fate".

"The Loom of Fate"! Goodness, if Din doesn't mention it soon, everyone will forget about it.

He only appears briefly at the end of each Demon God mission to talk about this matter, making everyone forget about it because of the overwhelming amount of information they've already received.

Even Ying wanted to complain that you only come out to investigate at the very end of every major event, and you haven't even found anything yet.

The efficiency is too slow. With this kind of tracking speed, you might not be able to track it down even after the other side has finished their work.

No, not necessarily. The cult's efficiency doesn't seem high either... They're truly evenly matched opponents.

This time, Dai Yin came to Sumeru not to find any new clues, but just happened to recall some things from the past, things that had been worn away and covered up.

He said that when he traveled with a traveler's blood relative, he mentioned "the loom of fate" in Sumeru.

This made the Sumerian people want to complain: the Kanriyans are traveling in Sumeru? Isn't that just going out a door? Taking a trip on the ceiling?

Regardless, this is at least a new clue, even if it wasn't discovered through investigation, but rather through 'archaeological' discovery.

But it doesn't matter what they rely on; they've found a clue anyway. The traveler and Dain head to the place in his memory to find out.

This is a field that looks like it has been abandoned for some time; there seems to be nothing there.

However, Orlan looked at the scene on the screen with a slightly puzzled expression; he felt that something was off about the field.

Only the "Farming Prince" Orloren felt something was amiss, because he knew too much about farming. The others were more focused on the house in the distance, wondering what might be inside, but unfortunately there was nothing particularly eye-catching, just a mortar and pestle and a broken mirror.

We found nothing. If anything was strange, it was the smell of medicine in the house. It had been abandoned for who knows how long, yet the smell of medicine was still there.

This is a place from Dain's memory, which is at least several hundred years ago. It's amazing that when they come to investigate now, the mortar and pestle are still there and they even smell of medicine.

They didn't seem to find anything useful, but they did attract a group of monsters.

Dain suspected that the ley lines were disordered, so he left the Traveler's side to investigate, while the Traveler remained in the hut to wait for Dain's return.

During this time, the traveler cooked a delicious meal and had an intimate conversation with Paimon. Paimon asked the traveler what it was like to travel with his blood relatives.

This question even stirred up memories for Ying in real life, and her eyes revealed nostalgia.

Chapter 845 Pureblood and Non-Pureblood

The camera zooms in on Yingmei, her eyebrows are furrowed into a "V" shape, and her eyes, looking up at the sky, are full of reminiscence and longing.

Ying said, "We'll just look at the stars together like this, pointing to the planets we want to go to."

Sora watched in silence, his heart aching at his sister's wistful gaze. He really wanted to see Ying.

However, the pioneers next door are familiar with their travel patterns.

It must be said that the Traveler truly lives up to his title of 'Descendant,' possessing a very high status and the ability to travel freely throughout the universe.

Ying continued, "We have traveled among the stars, never separated...and witnessed all the hopes and despairs of the universe."

"This is the first time we've been separated like this. At least... I want to know what happened."

Even Yingmei herself was moved by the scene, and her suppressed emotions were activated.

Ying's expression gradually became aggrieved, and her pitiful appearance was touching.

She rarely showed such an expression, which only made Lin Qiu exclaim how delicious it was and that she had to take a picture!

Ying rolled her eyes at Lin Qiu. "What a waste of friendship with you! Instead of comforting me, you take an 'ugly photo' of me."

That's why she didn't say it, otherwise Lin Qiu would definitely have said it. It's not ugly at all. How could a beautiful girl's aggrieved expression be ugly?

Ying thought it might look bad, so after thinking about it, she finally hugged Paimon in her arms, which conveniently covered his face.

"Huh?" Paimon didn't react before Ying pulled her into her arms, but she didn't resist, because, as the story says:

Paimon said, "Hmm... I've always understood how you feel. It's too sad if you can't even understand the reason for our separation..."

She has always understood Yingmei's feelings and will always stand by Yingmei's side.

"I...I will definitely be your guide, and the truth will always come out. Just you wait, justice will prevail! Just you wait, Teyvat!"

Paimon is so cute, and her words really made Ying feel much better.

Paimon is Luminous's travel companion, and there's even a hint that she'll become his emotional anchor. I can't even imagine how anxious the travelers would be if something happened to Paimon.

Not only travelers will be anxious, but all of Teyvat will be anxious.

Even if everyone knows that this is the traveler's story and not theirs, they have been watching it from the traveler's perspective all along, so it's hard not to empathize with the traveler's emotional perspective.

Given this premise, it would be a lie to say that I don't like Paimon.

The traveler in the story had fallen into a deep sleep after their conversation, but when she opened her eyes again, it was Dain who woke her up.

Dain said, "Hey, wake up, it's already daylight, don't sleep."

"Why am I so groggy? I still have to..."

These two sentences made the audience realize that something was wrong. First of all, he would never normally speak to travelers in this tone.

The second sentence is also strange, "Today we still need to..."? No one remembers discussing what to do today last night, after all, Dain hadn't returned that night.

In short, Dain noticed that the traveler seemed unwell, so he told her to rest and went to investigate deeper into the forest.

Not again? The audience was exasperated. What's in that forest anyway? Why do you keep going there?

After Dain left, the traveler thought, "(How did I sleep straight until morning? Didn't Paimon wake me up to relieve me... Wait, where did Paimon go?)"

Where did Paimon go?!

Paimon is gone! The noisiest floating object that had always followed the traveler is gone! The atmosphere became quiet and eerie.

The audience felt increasingly uneasy, while the traveler remained oblivious, still believing that Paimon had gone deep into the forest with Dain.

The traveler is so carefree! But the viewers are worried. Is Paimon alright? Maybe we should go check the river first? Maybe Paimon will spawn there.

It can only be said that the audience noticed something unusual, but they did not realize that the narrative perspective had changed at this point, and Paimon could no longer be encountered anywhere.

Despite the eeriness emanating from everything, the traveler, true to her name Ying, was as oblivious as Ying, and didn't notice anything unusual.

Hearing noises inside the house, she decided to go in and check it out. If she were on a horror movie set, she would be the first one to die, acting so brazenly.

Fortunately, her fighting skills made up for this; otherwise, she would probably have gone on a killing spree in a horror movie.

The traveler approached the cabin, but was stopped by a man before he could go inside.

The imposing man shouted, "Stop! What do you think you're doing?!"

The man's attire piqued Chiori's interest. At first glance, it resembled Sumeru's clothing, but upon closer inspection, many differences became apparent.

First, there's the color scheme. This man's clothing is a combination of dark blue and white, unlike Sumeru who loves to wear green. His color scheme is more like that of Kaiya and Dain.

There is also an eye-catching 'sun emblem' on the chest of the clothes, surrounded by black 'thorns' that look like the sun's rays, black light.

Chiori immediately drew a flat pattern of the garment on the spot.

No, I need to ask Lin Qiu for more clothes from other worlds.

The issue with the clothes only caught Chiori's attention; the others noticed the difference but didn't understand what it meant.

Most people are unaware of the events surrounding the Crimson Moon Dynasty and the Black Sun Dynasty, so they are naturally unaware of the connection between this garment and Kanria, except for some scholars and Arecino.

Returning to the story, the man was very agitated and seemed to resist anyone approaching the thatched hut, even though the traveler had gone inside to investigate just yesterday.

After a standoff, the man finally gave in, saying that travelers could come inside, but should not meddle.

Upon entering the house, unlike yesterday, there was a Hilichurl lying inside.

Another small detail is that the house is much cleaner now, without the long-accumulated dust that was there when I first entered.

However, no one explicitly states this in the movie; it's only shown on screen. Some people didn't notice this, and the Hilichurls in bed were more eye-catching.

This Hilichurl showed no signs of aggression; it was simply lying on the bed, seemingly unconscious.

The man explained that he was a Kanriyan, and so was this Hilichurl.

However, pure-blooded Kanriyans will not become Hilichurls, but will instead be afflicted by the "Curse of Undead".

Only those who betrayed their gods and came to Kanria, after being accepted as citizens by Kanria, these non-pure-blooded individuals were transformed into monsters by a curse in the wilderness.

In other words, the curse given by the gods was the "curse of immortality," and the reason for becoming a Hilichurl was due to other reasons.

This cleared up everyone's doubts about Kaeya; it seems his dark complexion has nothing to do with the curse.

However, they still didn't understand why the "curse of immortality" was placed on the Kanriyans.
