Chapter 666 What are Forbidden Dangers?
This is not a very clever question.
Now that I know you are from Kanriyah, would I still claim to be a believer in the gods and deliberately position myself as your enemy?
However, this guy was indeed lucky.
And then, in this very place, I happened to run into Ying, a fellow who was somewhat hostile to the gods.
As for himself, does he believe in gods?
Stop laughing, I don't even have a belief in myself!
Gods can be tenants, powerful figures, people you can flirt with, or even nurture; but you can't let yourself grovel there and listen to divine pronouncements.
"I don't believe in God, and some gods might even be my enemies."
Ying slowly began to speak.
Xu Ning smiled slightly, relieved that Ying did not regard all the gods as her enemies.
"Although I have never thought of being an enemy of God, I do not believe in many of their ideas either."
Xu Ning noticed that after she said those words, the tension in the man in front of her gradually eased.
As he relaxed, the aristocratic air about him gradually emerged.
“I am very sorry for my previous bad attitude. I thought there were no people in the world who did not believe in the Seven Gods. I mistakenly regarded you as enemies.”
Xu Ning disagreed with his biased thinking.
After all, even those who believe in the Seven Gods do not all consider the Kanriyans to be enemies.
The fact that Mondken accepted Little Blackie is at least proof of this.
Xu Ning didn't believe that everyone in Mondstadt was unaware of Little Blackie's true identity.
"In any case, since the Kanria cataclysm, I've rarely had the chance to speak to anyone; most of the time I've just been talking to myself in front of Calibel..."
"Calibel?"
Xu Ning didn't realize who the man was talking about at first, but she understood instantly and turned to look at the Hilichurl on the bed.
The man gave a wry smile.
"Yes, it's him, my child."
Ying was taken aback. "This is your child?"
Xu Ning was even more surprised.
He really wanted to ask the man whether the child was conceived before or after the Kanria cataclysm.
If it were later, Xu Ning would even be willing to call him the strongest in Teyvat.
However, Xu Ning didn't dare to ask the question in a cheeky way. Firstly, he didn't want his master to kick them both out, and secondly, he didn't want to lose face in front of Ying.
"Sigh, things that I couldn't even bring myself to say before, I can finally say now."
Unable to talk about it? I love to hear that.
Xu Ning couldn't help but prick up his ears.
“My name is Ed, and I was once a nobleman in the royal court of Kanria. I was never satisfied with the life my family had arranged for me, until I met Calibel's mother, a beautiful woman of Mondstadt blood…”
"It was before," Xu Ning said, slightly disappointed.
“Because of our bloodline, my family has always tried to obstruct my path to true love, which has caused Calibel to suffer a great deal of hardship since birth… and then, the curse descended…”
Xu Ning was surprised to meet a Kanria who had personally experienced the curse, and asked, "So, you're under the curse of immortality?"
Ed nodded.
"Pure Kanria blood is considered deeply sinful and suffers an undead curse..."
Like Dain, Xu Ning thought.
"Those who possess the bloodline of other demon gods and are accepted as citizens of Kanria will be cursed into becoming demons and turning into Hilichurls."
"Hichurls all look pretty much the same, how did you recognize him as your son?"
Ying suddenly spoke up and asked.
Ed chuckled bitterly, "That's because my son, Calibel, was transformed into a Hilichurl right in front of me!"
This is truly a human tragedy.
Xu Ning glanced at the Hilichurl lying on the bed.
On the left wrist of this Hilichurl was a silk scarf of a similar color to the clothes Ed was wearing.
It seems that Ed used it specifically to distinguish his son from other Hilichurls.
"But what can happen if things continue like this?"
Ying spoke again, asking, "You have all gained long lives, yet you cannot change even the slightest thing..."
Xu Ning sighed inwardly. Ying was still so kind and soft-hearted. Perhaps she only thought of doing something for them because she saw how pitiful the Kanria people were?
Perhaps no one had ever cared about them. Ed turned and glanced at Ying, his gaze somewhat strange.
"That's why I came to Sumeru. If you're interested, I can show you what I'm doing."
After Ed finished speaking, he turned and walked out.
Xu Ning and Ying exchanged a glance, and seeing that she wanted to go see, they went out together.
After bypassing the neatly leveled field, Xu Ning and Ying saw an extremely rudimentary synthesis platform.
On the wooden table next to the synthesis table, there were all sorts of bottles and jars for making medicines, as well as parchment, balances, and other items.
"You're making medicine? You want to help Calibel turn back?"
Xu Ning asked casually.
But in my heart, I was already shaking my head in disbelief.
Even Dain, with his immense power, said that the curse itself is irreversible.
Moreover, even hundreds of years later, no medicine has been able to achieve this.
In other words, everything this guy named Ed is doing now is bound to come to nothing.
Even Ying lowered her head with a sorrowful expression, unable to bear looking at the hopeful look on Ed's face.
"Of course I want to, but I also know very well that my power is not enough to shake the judgment of the gods."
Ed laughed and said, "However, in the Great Archives of Kanria, there is a book that records a drug that can awaken the annihilated mind, but because it uses the power of the Seven Gods, it is listed as a forbidden book."
"Wait, it might be banned for other reasons, and it could be very dangerous..."
Xu Ning reminded him.
Ed's smile faded.
"Yes, it's possible. But what can I do? What can I rely on? Even the gods have punished us. Compared to that, what are taboos and dangers?"
