Chapter 818
"Perhaps in your eyes, those commoners of Khaenri'ah were innocent.
But back then, it was also they who supported their own country.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact; if not for their support, those so-called high-ranking officials and nobles would not have had the power to do those messy things." Lumine spoke eloquently: "Perhaps some Khaenri'ah people were innocent.
But their failure to stop the Abyss is their sin."
Dainsleif opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but in the end, he could not say anything.
The appearance of the dark calamity actually predated the Khaenri'ah war.
At first, the dark calamity was also caused by the Khaenri'ah people researching the power of the Abyss; at that time, the Khaenri'ah people had actually discovered the ominous nature of the Abyssal power, but because of the high-ranking officials, they ultimately chose to continue researching the power of the Abyss.
According to their words, if they did not develop their strength, it would be difficult to be a match for the Heavenly Principles and the Seven Archons of the mortal world.
At that time, everyone tacitly accepted the behavior of the high-ranking officials.
But in the end, no one expected that the Heavenly Principles and the Seven Archons of the mortal world would strike at them without hesitation, and while they were resisting the Abyss, no less.
Well, at that time, the Khaenri'ah people indeed did not expect that the Abyss would be so uncontrollable.
But Dainsleif still wanted to say one thing: in fact, they were truly innocent, at least the common people below were innocent.
They should not have suffered such torture; the curse of the Heavenly Principles was a bit excessive.
But Dainsleif did not expect that Lumine would say such words; if it were Aether, at this time, shouldn't he be indignantly condemning the actions of the Heavenly Principles?
Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground, but the curse of the Heavenly Principles was constantly eroding them.
How cruel is this?
"You are not like your brother at all!" Dainsleif looked deeply at Lumine and said in a low voice: "Originally, I thought we had the possibility of cooperation."
"No, I don't trust you, after all, you are related to Khaenri'ah." Lumine said without hesitation: "If it weren't for the clues about Aether on you, I would kill you without hesitation at this moment.
Only a dead Khaenri'ah person is a good Khaenri'ah person.
For this world, the harm caused by Khaenri'ah is too great."
Dainsleif's pupils could not help but shrink upon hearing this; this was different from what he had originally expected.
Originally, Dainsleif thought that Lumine would share his hatred after knowing those things, and then together become the main force against the Seven Archons of the mortal world and the Heavenly Principles, while also being able to pull Aether back.
Dainsleif did not have the idea of destroying the Teyvat continent; he did not trust the Seven Archons, and he also did not think about destroying this world.
This is still considered relatively rational.
"Don't forget, you yourself are not a person of this world.
Whether it is you or Seeing Mu Yang, you are both Descenders; the more powerful your strength, the less the Heavenly Principles will tolerate you~." Dainsleif warned meaningfully.
Although he did not understand why Lumine would be so extreme and have such hatred for the Khaenri'ah people, he still wanted to remind Lumine.
After all, the other party is Aether's sister; during his journey with Aether, Dainsleif often heard Aether mention Lumine, and Dainsleif considered himself to know Lumine relatively well.
But he did not expect that Aether did not seem to know his sister very well.
It's just that what Dainsleif didn't know was that if it were the Lumine of the past, perhaps she would really do this, and would work with Dainsleif to find a way to save those people.
Sometimes, perhaps Lumine's good intentions would lead to bad results, but her heart was actually quite good.
How could our silly Lumine have done anything wrong? If there was anything done wrong, it was because some planner's brain had a problem, wanting to force sentimentality, and then making it neither fish nor fowl.
Lumine might have played the villain, but one thing you have to admit is that knives are sometimes the most valuable.
Just like Focalors was miserable enough, Furina also looked very tragic, but the revenue of Furina's banner was number one...
And, it was the highest in history...
Even a certain unnamed, unwilling-to-reveal-his-name loser author, who kept shouting that he would not top up Primogems anymore.
But for Furina, he still chose to top up, and in the end, he only got C1R1.
He would not admit that this was because of Furina's strength.
As for Lumine, being set as Furina's stepping stone, it really felt a bit disgusting.
"Whether the Heavenly Principles will tolerate us is not something I need to consider right now; what I need to do now is to strive to improve my strength.
And then make up for what Aether has done; anyone else who wants to destroy the Teyvat continent is my enemy." Lumine stared at Dainsleif and said pointedly.
Dainsleif was silent for a moment upon hearing this; is Lumine walking on such a path?
Thinking carefully, it seems that except for being a bit extreme, it doesn't seem surprising at all, just like when he and Aether were traveling outside, when they encountered people in need of help, Aether would also rush to help at the first opportunity.
When Khaenri'ah encountered a crisis, Aether also came to help.
Now, because of the past relationship, Aether has also become the Prince of the Abyss Order.
In fact, at the beginning, Aether did not need to take over such a mess, but Aether was really easy to fool in many cases, and now because of the Abyssal power, Aether has also become biased.
Now thinking carefully, Lumine walking on such a path does not seem completely incomprehensible.
After all, she is Aether's sister; at this time, making such a choice seems quite normal...
"I hope you won't regret it later.
The Abyss is not to be trusted, and the Heavenly Principles are also not to be trusted!" After Dainsleif said this pointedly, he left directly.
Regarding Lumine's safety, Dainsleif did not worry for the time being.
Currently, Lumine's relationship with the Seven Archons is also good, and Seeing Mu Yang is also someone he cannot see through.
If it weren't for Seeing Mu Yang being elusive and rarely seen, Dainsleif would have wanted to meet that Seeing Mu Yang before to discuss the possibility of fighting against the Heavenly Principles and the Abyss together.
It's a pity.
Watching Dainsleif's departing figure, Lumine's heart was also complex; Dainsleif actually wanted to fight against the Heavenly Principles with her and Seeing Mu Yang.
But Seeing Mu Yang is the Heavenly Principles now!!
Unless Phanes is still alive at this time, wanting to wait for Seeing Mu Yang to master the authority of the Teyvat continent, and after his own strength reaches a certain level, to pluck Seeing Mu Yang's Dao fruit, otherwise, they don't need to worry about Phanes's problem at all.
As for Phanes playing dead or something?
In Lumine's view, this is simply impossible.
If Seeing Mu Yang couldn't even detect this, he would be too useless.
"Lumine, let's go." Paimon scratched her head and said softly to Lumine.
Regarding Dainsleif's encounter, Paimon was actually sympathetic; if possible, Paimon even wanted to help Dainsleif.
It's just that she is currently of low status and cannot help much.
Just as Lumine was about to say something, a vibration occurred from the depths of the Chasm, which made Lumine and Paimon look at each other; could it be that something happened?
". It seems Xiao and Yelan are still in the Chasm at this moment; should we go over and take a look?" Paimon quickly reminded Lumine, as if she had thought of something.
"Let's go over and take a look." Lumine thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
