Chapter 143: Ye Lan's Discovery and the Confrontation with Halfdan
Even though the Black Snake Knights hated these guys from the Abyss Cult, they basically dared not speak out. After all, they were threatening them openly, and their combined combat power was no match for them, so they could only swallow their anger and wait for the opportunity.
As for the black snake knight who was suspected to be "Halfdan", after looking at these monsters from the abyss, he silently walked into the depths of the black fog and his figure gradually disappeared. Ye Lan opened the wings of wind from the entrance of the rugged stone hall, passed through the deep dark passage, and flew all the way to the underground.
She folded her wings of wind and looked at the black fog in front of her. She had a bad feeling. After all, this level of black fog was not as concentrated as the one she had seen during her previous investigation in the abyss, but it still contained unknown things that ordinary people could not touch.
So, Ye Lan began to explore here one by one, check and mark the number of people in many Abyss Sects and their approximate locations. She even hand-drew a map when she was bored. Maybe she didn't use this skill before, probably because she could be a little lazy with Zhi Qiong, who was more professional.
After Ye Lan explored for a period of time, she didn't know how to enter the deeper passage because it was most likely blocked by the black fog. Even if she had the Eye of God, it could only protect her from being lost, but she still couldn't go deep for a long time because things from the abyss were poisonous.
Ye Lan investigated the surface of the place and only recorded two abnormal points, two bells heavily guarded by the Abyss Cult. Perhaps this is the key to unlocking the black fog and leading to deeper depths? But Ye Lan did not dare to take risks. She only came here to investigate in advance, not to die in person.
So Ye Lan used the recording device to record all the useful information, and planned to bring it to Tianhe later to see how to crack it, but it was highly likely that words would not work, and she would definitely need to use force to solve it. Before Ye Lan left, she also saw a lot of dark empty shells here, they gathered here, as if they were going to deal with something.
After Ye Lan watched the actions of these Black Snake Knights intently for a while, she found that they seemed to be very dissatisfied with the Abyss Cult. This seemed to be a breaking point, but Ye Lan did not know ancient Kanriya language and could not communicate with them, so she had to give up at the first opportunity.
However, she suddenly saw the leader of these dark empty shells turned his head and looked in the direction of Ye Lan. This unknown existence made Ye Lan feel a little scared, but when she found that it did not do anything, Ye Lan did not relax her vigilance. Instead, she changed places and continued to observe these dark empty shells.
She saw these dark empty shells, and after listening to the leader's words, they left one after another. But what puzzled her was that this strange dark empty shell actually looked in her direction accurately, and looked directly at Ye Lan, and then walked towards her, but without any weapons on hand.
Ye Lan was a little confused, but she still watched the dark empty shell coming over. When the dark empty shell came not far from her, she took a few steps back with caution. But the dark empty shell did not come forward. Ye Lan did not feel any malicious intent from it, but it was standing not far from her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but it did not speak.
The two sides were silent for a long time. Even though Ye Lan had a lot of experience, she had no experience dealing with this kind of creature, so she couldn't help but say, "My Lord Knight, I don't know if you can hear the common language of Teyvat, but I want to know what your intentions are and why you are colluding with these Abyss Cults. There must be a reason for that."
The dark empty shell seemed to understand what Ye Lan said, nodded, and then took a piece of paper from his body, which seemed to represent his identity. The name on it was written in Teyvat's common language, but it was very neat. It read - Halfdan, the Black Snake Knight of the Kanreya Palace Guard.
Ye Lan finished reading the contents of the note and looked at the Black Snake Knight who called himself "Halfdan" with a mysterious smile, saying, "Kanria Palace Guards? Black Snake Knight Halfdan? Humph, things seem to be getting more and more interesting, so do you have any information to tell me? Maybe I can't do it alone, but I can find someone to help you."
"Halfdan" glanced at Ye Lan, nodded to her, then turned around, as if asking her to follow. Although Ye Lan still had doubts, she followed him anyway. After following all the way, "Halfdan" brought Ye Lan to a place with many hill people, but Ye Lan did not understand what Halfdan meant.
It looked at Ye Lan, as if it wanted to express its meaning. After some sign language, Ye Lan finally understood. The black snake knight Halfdan in front of him, as a palace guard of Gukanria, even if he turned into a monster, he still remembered to protect these hill people whom they regarded as their people.
Therefore, they would do whatever it takes, and that's why they had to help these bastards of the Abyss Cult. It wasn't that they were willing, but the Hillocks were being held hostage. Ye Lan could also see that these Hillocks were actually old, huddled deep in the cave, with some hay found somewhere on the ground.
However, Ye Lan felt that they seemed to be longing for something. Halfdan did not explain anything, but pointed to the top of his head, as if to indicate something. After Ye Lan's analysis, it should be light. These hill people still longed to return to the ground, but there must be something here that made these hill people feel a little bit of peace.
However, when Ye Lan wanted to know some information, Halfdan in front of her suddenly took out his weapon, but did not attack her. It seemed that he was warning her to leave quickly. Before Ye Lan left, she looked at Halfdan. Why did this guy look a bit like a woman?
Ye Lan didn't think much about it. After getting a lot of information, she left the nameless ruins and returned to the main mine tunnel of the Juyuan. Tianhe found Dadalia and wanted to talk to her alone. As for what they talked about, to be continued~
