Chapter 184: The Past of Kanriya, Sora and Ying
After listening to Halfdan's words, Tianhe looked at Halfdan's female form, whom he had never seen before. Seeing her half-kneeling in front of him, Tianhe quickly used elemental power to support her. At the same time, Tianhe did not forget to hold Halfdan's hand, trying to pull her up, and said to her, "Halfdan, you don't have to do this. Get up quickly and talk to me if you have anything to say."
Halfdan seemed to have received an order from Tianhe. She stood up and faced Tianhe, earnestly performing the highest etiquette of Kanreya and said to him very respectfully, "Yes! Your Highness Tianhe, the Black Snake Knight Halfdan salutes you! Thank you for your contribution to Kanreya, although I have already known about the demise of my homeland."
At this point, Halfdan's face was obviously a little lonely. She was not the Halfdan in the original book. Naturally, she had also inquired about the affairs of Kanreya, although most of the time she returned empty-handed. However, she learned from some ancient books that Kanreya had long been destroyed and no longer existed. In the end, she still accepted this fact, but she also wanted to restore the country and rebuild Kanreya.
But, is it easy to rebuild Kanreya? Although Halfdan still has human reason, she finally chose to give up and take these hillbillies as her own sustenance and protect them. However, she originally thought that Tianhe also died in the Kanreya War. After all, he disappeared for so long, and Halfdan has been looking for him for these years, but to no avail.
This is why Halfdan has been secretly watching Tianhe in the dark. It's not that she doesn't want to meet him, but she is worried that Tianhe will hate his current body. So, this is the real reason why she has not met Tianhe for a long time. The culprit of all this is the abyss. This is why Halfdan hates the abyss. She naturally has no good feelings towards the abyss.
Tianhe didn't know how to comfort Halfdan, so he could only put his hand on Halfdan's head out of habit, rubbed it, and comforted her, "Halfdan, I know you feel bad, but I don't remember anything about Kanriya, maybe I have lost it all long ago." Hearing what Tianhe said, Halfdan's eyes widened, followed by anger.
"You mean, you disappeared after the Kanreya War and lost your memory for unknown reasons. Humph, the abyss!" Halfdan naturally attributed Tianhe's amnesia to the Kanreya high-level officials and the abyss. He also felt very uncomfortable about the weakness of his own power. Others were very curious when they saw that Halfdan still remembered the things that happened during that period in Kanreya.
Because Halfdan was an eyewitness of the Kanreya War, and her knowledge of Kanreya was absolutely firsthand, but looking at the current situation, she probably wouldn't answer their questions. "Uh, it's okay. I'm a traveler from outside the world, Halfdan, you should know that I now have many abilities."
Halfdan tried hard to recall and told Tianhe, "Well, when you first came to Kanreya, I was the first Kanreyan you met. I received you and your two travel companions. I remember their names were Kong and Ying. At that time, I had a great conversation with you and even treated you to Kanreyan delicacies."
At this point, Halfdan smiled. Tianhe had never expected that Halfdan was not disturbed by the World Tree. Could it be that the curse protected her memory in disguise? But Ying was also there? Tianhe asked uncertainly, "You mean, you still remember Kong and Ying? I still remember them. Wait a minute."
Tianhe thought of something and first told Halfdan not to continue. Then he set up a barrier around everyone and blocked the ground veins. Only then did he feel at ease to let Halfdan continue. "Well, after all, you told me at the beginning that you were travelers wandering beyond the stars. By chance, you met before coming to Teyvat, probably before you entered the world."
"So, after that, you traveled all over Teyvat, and finally came to Kanreya. However, Your Highness Tianhe, when the abyss army appeared, you fought on the front line, minimizing the casualties of the Kanreya people, and tried your best to prevent those abyss monsters from going to the seven countries on the surface."
"Including the other two travelers, they all thought it was difficult for you to stop the abyss army from pouring out. You accomplished this almost impossible feat. However, Kanreya was eventually destroyed. However, not all the people of Kanreya were turned into hillocks. Only those who supported the royal family in studying the abyss and developing the earth veins were all - although most of them did not really support it."
At this point, Halfdan trembled a little, thinking of something bad. Tianhe quickly comforted Halfdan and told her not to continue. "Halfdan, you have already done a great job in protecting the people of Kanreya. You don't have to worry about it anymore. However, I did come to the Stratum Abyss to resolve the abyss issue and to respond to the challenge of Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Abyss Cult."
"Your Highness, the Princess of the Abyss Cult? Your Highness, Tianhe, could it be?" Halfdan was a little surprised. Tianhe nodded, "Yes, it's Kong. As for Ying, I don't know either. However, Kong found me in Liyue and talked to me at the nameless ruins. She issued a declaration of war, so I naturally had to accept the invitation. Halfdan, are you willing to come with us?"
Tianhe extended his hand to Halfdan, inviting him. Halfdan nodded and held Tianhe's hand. "Yes, there are many. The other Black Snake Knights~ Most of them have lost their minds. However, I think they can still be saved. They still obey my orders. I will always follow you, Your Highness Tianhe."
Halfdan saluted Tianhe again. This time, there seemed to be light in her eyes. It was unclear whether it was tears or longing for the future. To be continued~
