Chapter 436: Ripples at the Bottom of the Abyss
"We first found Barbara and carefully asked her if she had ever heard of the world's first tilling machine. At that time, he and I were looking forward to getting some key information from her. However, Barbara looked confused and shook her head and said she had never heard of the first tilling machine."
"After that, we turned the topic to another mysterious matter and asked her whether there had been any cases of the Seven Days Statue being lost in Mondstadt. Barbara nodded gently after listening. She slowly said that a long time ago, there was indeed a Seven Days Statue in Mondstadt. On a quiet night, it disappeared without a trace like a ghost, leaving no trace. At that time, the cult was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and sending people everywhere to search for it, leaving no corner untouched, but in the end it was in vain. In the end, they could only record this incident and named it 'The Lost Seven Days Statue', as if this name could carry the fruitless search."
"After that, we still didn't give up and asked Barbara if there were any other strange things in the records of the cult. She lowered her head slightly, tapped her chin with her fingers, and thought seriously for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had found a precious treasure, and she remembered that there was indeed a strange thing, and the name in the record was 'The Tyrant's Wrath'."
"After that, I asked her in detail. Barbara patiently explained: The strange thing refers to the fact that "Old Mondstadt", now known as the "Ruins of the Wind Dragon", has become like a demon's lair hiding countless dangers during a mysterious period of time, which is extremely terrifying. At a certain time many years ago, as long as someone approached there with a little curiosity, the sky would be like a lit gunpowder barrel, attracting fireballs from the sky, falling like raindrops. At that time, people were terrified and thought it was a vicious curse from the "Demon of the Tornado", so they timidly called it "The Tyrant's Grudge". This weird nightmare-like phenomenon lasted for a whole year, like an lingering haze, shrouding people's hearts. During this period, everyone tried their best, but they could not solve this problem. In the end, it stopped slowly as suddenly as it came, leaving only a bunch of mysteries. "
"Later, according to the speculation of the learned wise men of the cult, this incident actually had nothing to do with the tyrant. After all, according to common sense, how could the Tornado Demon God shoot fireballs? That is as unreasonable as a bird suddenly learning to swim. So, nine times out of ten, there must be some other mysterious reason that caused this terrible disaster. In short, Barbara felt that this incident might have nothing to do with the "Lost Statue". But other than that, she racked her brains and couldn't think of anything else to think about. "
"After that, the traveler and I planned to leave the church. When we were about to walk out of the church gate, we met Rosalia. From her, we learned a shocking news that the Knights were not in Mondstadt during this period. According to her, it was because the group of ghostly monsters had returned. After a thorough investigation, we learned that the 'they' she mentioned were the Abyss Cult that attempted to attack Mondstadt during the Wind Dragon Rebellion. These members of the Abyss Cult were quietly gathering in the Wolf Territory, making the originally peaceful wolf pack restless."
"Rosalia frowned, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, expressing deep suspicion about the purpose of the Abyss Cult. She guessed that maybe... they were targeting the "remnant soul of the North Wind Wolf King", but the specific reason was not clear. As for Captain Qin, he had already led the West Wind Knights to the Wolf Territory. After discussing with the Traveler, I decided to go to the Wolf Territory together to provide help. Then, we left the cathedral and walked out in a hurry. "
"So do you want to go to the Wolf Territory together? I have a feeling that the appearance of the Abyss Cult there is nothing good. It's like the dark clouds before a storm, exuding an ominous aura." Paimon said as he blinked his lively big eyes, his face full of worry and curiosity.
After hearing what Paimon said, Dainsleb knitted his brows tightly together, like two small hills, and nodded solemnly. His eyes slowly moved towards the two people, and his eyes were like the deep night sky, revealing endless thoughts. He said in a serious tone: "So, has the Abyss Cult begun to take new actions? It seems that the peaceful days are about to be broken again."
When Paimon heard the news, she couldn't help but feel worried and curious, like a frightened bird flapping its wings. She blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion: "Speaking of which, why did the Abyss Cult go to the Wolf Territory? Do they want to repeat the Tevarin incident? Ah - let's not repeat the disaster again! One Tevarin has already given us enough headaches, but we must not let a second North Wind Wolf King appear, otherwise we will be really confused!"
