“Spoilers are not a good habit,” Elhesen said, then ignored Kavi.
It's unclear whether he genuinely didn't want to spoil the plot, or simply didn't want to tell Kavi.
Kavi was furious. What's so great about him? So what if he knew a little bit of the truth beforehand? I'll understand it right away too!
Kavi stared intently at the screen, afraid of missing a single detail. In the story, the traveler experienced a teleportation, the cause of which was unknown.
After several teleportations, the traveler saw a large door leading to an upside-down room.
They wanted to go deeper, but were interrupted by the sudden appearance of the 'Abyss Apostle'.
This 'Abyss Apostle' is rather strange; he's an apostle no one has ever seen before, and he doesn't just talk about 'abyss,' but rather about 'fate,' and his name is 'Fate Apostle.'
Chapter 848 Amethyst
Ordinary people would only feel terrified in the face of this 'Apostle of Fate', because he is clearly not on the side of humanity.
But Ed wasn't panicked at all when he saw it; instead, he was quite excited.
"What was that thing just now? It was...it was a perfect life form, truly amazing."
Huh? A perfect life form? The audience couldn't help but wonder, as humans themselves, had Canria's aesthetic sense evolved to this extent?
Something's not right with you; the audience's attitude towards Ed is starting to change.
I had empathized with him before, and I had disliked his disrespect for the gods, but now I question him.
You think it's cool, fine, but you actually think it's a perfect life form? Doesn't that mean you also pursue that kind of form? Is that what a normal human being does?
Humans have freedom of choice regarding their sexual activity, but it's still advisable to see a doctor if this is the case.
The traveler wasn't a doctor, so he didn't bother with Ed's XP, and the two continued on their way.
In the room at the end, there is a huge amethyst crystal, bound by layers of chains and suspended in the air, emanating an aura very similar to that of the "Idol of Impurity Reversed".
No wonder those Hilichurls worship here; isn't this just like that great treasure thief from back then?!
The traveler realized what was happening and hurriedly told Ed to leave, but when he turned around, he found Ed kneeling on the ground and beginning to worship, his hands clasped together with his palms open as if he were exchanging for a sacred relic.
This is really baffling for travelers. Dude, what are you doing? Can you even worship this thing?
An unknown voice entered the traveler's mind: "...Life, why do you kneel? Do you kneel because of fear of the unknown? Do you kneel because of greed for power?"
This is 'information' directly transmitted to the traveler's brain. Although the movie plays Teyvat, it's hard to say what language He actually speaks.
Regardless, the eeriness of this scene is chilling; how could an amethyst be 'speaking'?
The dim background, the purple light, and the voice coming from who-knows-where in my brain—this is too evil.
The voice continued, “…Life, why do you kneel? I am not a god, I am merely—a sinner.”
The keyword "sinner" has attracted a lot of attention. A "sinner" must be "sinful," right?
Who bestowed upon Him the title of "sinner"? And who condemned His "sin"?
Was it set by a higher 'enforcer', or by Himself?
Speaking of "sinners," Dain was quite familiar with them, after all, he had been tracking the "sinners" of Kanria, and he was quite interested in seeing them now.
It has to be said that what Dain likes most are these 'episode' stories, or perhaps they should be called 'traveler's chapters'?
Anyway, this story is what Dain likes to read the most, because every story is closely related to him and is the information he cares about most.
The amethyst before him, coupled with his self-designation, made Dain think of something.
He already had a guess about the identity of this 'Crystal', and if nothing unexpected happened, it should be his brother, the 'Prophet' Viserfnir.
It was worth it for him to sneak into the movie among the citizens of the seven kingdoms to get this information. He did the same thing as Sora, but the two of them didn't run into each other.
This one movie alone gave me more information than Dyne gained in a whole year...
One has to admire Lin Qiu's prowess; his brother has already acquired power comparable to an entire world, and is no longer bound by the fate of Teyvat.
Logically speaking, someone of such high status shouldn't be able to be predicted, so I don't know how Lin Qiu managed to do it.
Little did people know that Lin Qiu could not make predictions at all; he was purely a high-dimensional observer. No matter how high your status was, it was useless because his dimension was too high.
Dain couldn't help but think of the author of "The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs," who was also a very impressive person.
As for the reactions of others to the term "sinner"... there were very few, because they really didn't understand its meaning.
The people of Fontainebleau in the future will become familiar with this word, because of the "Sinner's Dance Spin," and they will probably "fall in love" with it.
The voice continued, "Born of sin, yet still innocent flower, I know your destiny."
"Go and become a 'transcendent' being, transcending all 'given destiny'."
'Fate,' again fate; this story mentions fate everywhere.
Although it's obviously meant to be something, nobody can understand it at all! It's just a riddle! Riddler, get out of Teyvat!
Let alone understanding it, most people don't even know who the other person is referring to: "a flower born of sin, yet still innocent."
Is this sentence referring to the traveler or Calibel? I'm not sure; it seems like either interpretation is plausible.
Before he could think about it further, a purple light entered Ed's body, but no change was visible in his body.
However, after the light merged into Ed's body, Ed regained consciousness, stood up, and asked in confusion:
"The moment I saw that thing, all my emotions calmed down, leaving only a feeling that I couldn't quite describe—a mixture of awe and happiness."
His words made everyone think: Are you a pervert?
In any case, when the audience saw this scene, they only felt it was very strange, and they couldn't feel any awe, let alone happiness.
This guy not only has some weird taste, but his attitude towards the unknown is also different from ordinary people.
The unknown brings fear, and the fact that he felt happy despite insufficient firepower is somewhat like the suspension bridge effect.
The only remaining point of empathy for Ed is his concern for his child as a father, an emotion that all humans can understand.
So when everyone saw Ed check on Calibel's safety as soon as he left the eerie location, they breathed a sigh of relief; at least he hadn't gone 'crazy'.
Next came the time to administer the medicine, but this time there was no need to go and worship the gods or statues.
Ed, however, felt there shouldn't be any problem. Hadn't he already prayed to that crystal? The effect should be about the same, right?
The general consensus, shared by many travelers, is: "It's utterly baffling..."
How can they be the same? These are different contexts; they can't be generalized!
Even if that amethyst really does possess some kind of 'god-level power,' so what? It looks like an evil god. Can you really call it okay to use the power of an evil god to save a child?
Ed clearly couldn't care less about that now. The Seven Gods were unwilling to help him, and perhaps the only thing he could rely on was that unknown power.
The medicine was given to Calibel, and this time it actually worked.
[Calibel's voice was weak and hesitant: "...Dad...Dad...?"]
He woke up! He actually woke up!? It actually worked!?
Chapter 849 Don't 'Look in the Mirror'
A drug that can awaken the consciousness of Hilichurls is truly a major discovery, and everyone is curious about the specific formula of that drug.
The most important thing is that mushroom, which no one has ever seen before. What could it be?
Dain stared silently at the screen. A 'medicine' that could awaken the Hilichurls' minds?
Perhaps not. What truly awakens the other person might be something else entirely. And is awakening the other person in this way really a good thing?
It's hard to say. At this point in the story, Calibel is asking where her mother is, but Ed doesn't answer the question. Instead, he laughs wildly.
Ed laughed excitedly: "Ha...hahaha...redemption, is this what it feels like to be redeemed...?"
This shot is taken from a low angle, with the light above Ed's head appearing as a 'holy light' that brings salvation, while Ed, under the holy light, is entirely in shadow.
That laughter and tone of voice gave off only one impression: madman.
...In most people's eyes, Ed had gone a bit crazy at this point.
Perhaps the reason he hasn't completely gone mad is simply because Calibel is still around; Calibel's existence is the last thread holding him together, and it hasn't broken yet.
Now, Calibel is sharing his feelings; from his perspective, becoming a Hilichurl is like having a very, very long dream.
In his dream, he hid in a small house, afraid to go out and not wanting to go out.
For some unknown reason, he left the room, and what he saw now was himself transformed into a Hilichurl.
[Calibel cried out in fear and panic: "My body! What's wrong with my body! Is...is this me?"]
This is too cruel, to expose such a young child to this truth.
Ed also felt he couldn't tell Calibel the truth, so he fabricated a 'truth' and said:
"...Don't panic, son, it's just...it's just that while you were sleeping, we entered a fairytale world."
"This world no longer has Kanria, no longer has our home, but it also no longer has the red sky and the apocalyptic catastrophe."
Whether concealing the truth is good or bad is debatable, but viewers know that even if Caliber knew the truth, it wouldn't have any positive effect.
At most, it just means one more child is living in a terrible reality.
Therefore, sometimes, such 'white lies' are not objectionable.
The clown watched in silence, blaming himself for failing to prevent the disaster.
If he could have stopped the king's decision and stopped the "golden" advice... perhaps Kanria, no, perhaps Teyvat would have had a different story.
The word 'disaster' resonated deeply with the people of the Seven Kingdoms, whom Ed spoke of, because the disaster did not only occur in Kanria.
The red sky resembled an apocalyptic disaster... Lei closed his eyes, the images of that time still lingering in his mind.
The spirits of Inatsume seemed to still be calling out in her ears, 'May the Way of the Constant be magnificent, and may Narukami be eternal!'
Red, those are crimson demon horns, those are splattered blood, those are—a nightmare.
As an eternal deity, her memory seems a little too good.
Lei Ying hadn't opened her eyes yet, but she felt warmth and touch on her face. It was her sister's hand stroking her cheek. This warmth made Ying feel like she was going to cry.
That memory was truly terrifying, sister.
The people of Liyue and Mondstadt can also imagine what it was like back then, because Lin Qiu has written about it, drawn about it, and recorded it in their history.
Even just reading the written descriptions and looking at the pictorial scenes evokes a deep sense of despair and fear, making it impossible to imagine what our ancestors felt when they personally experienced all of that.
They could only rely on themselves, paying a heavy price, to withstand that apocalypse, giving future generations a space to live, enjoy peace, and sit here watching the story unfold.
Therefore, people lack affection for Canria, the city that brought about the apocalypse.
You look miserable, but aren't we miserable too?
The reason we seem to be doing well now is only because we resisted back then. Otherwise, would the abyss have let us go?
The people of the Seven Kingdoms couldn't stand by Ed's side, but they also didn't want Calibel to face the cruel truth.
He's too young; there's no need to subject this child to these things. Hatred and pain shouldn't be inflicted on this unrelated child.
In the movie, Caliber's voice trembles, filled with sobs and fear, as he asks himself if he is already dead.
Ed quickly denied the possibility, saying that his mother's scarf was on his arm and that his mother would bless and protect him, so how could he die?
Ed said, “You might be a little disoriented from just waking up. Just rest here for now… everything will be alright.”
Finally, Ed added a reminder:
"Oh, and by the way... you absolutely must remember... don't take off your mask."
No one has ever seen what they look like behind the mask, because almost all the Hilichurls who take off their masks are dead, and the dead Hilichurls have all disappeared.
Ed's reminder seemed full of concern; he even emphasized it twice.
However, this is problematic in the eyes of some people, such as Narcida, Arecino, and Yomi.
Narcida, observing from a divine perspective, felt that Ed's words had undoubtedly planted a seed of doubt in Calibel, which was misleading and not a good thing.
Arecino, on the other hand, takes a 'parent's' perspective. In her view, the best way to prevent a child from doing something is never to say 'don't'.
Because Alejandro knew that young children were slow to react to the word 'no,' and instead focused their attention on what came after 'no.'
