Chapter 344: The plan of the Abyss Order! Seeing brother again!

It wasn't until Luo Li signaled Lumine to walk forward and reach the innermost part of the cave.

The two women then stepped into the depths of the darkness.

Passing Luo Li's figure, they saw a large number of dead Hilichurls lying on the ground.

Even though there had been many unpleasant things between them and the noisy Hilichurls, considering that they were humans themselves, seeing so many people die suddenly, it didn't feel very good in their hearts either.

Lumine and Paimon fell into silence, just quietly watching this scene.

"Eh, wait, what is this?"

Paimon, with sharp eyes, pointed to a straw mat located deep in the cave; they saw a few pure white flowers placed where the Hilichurls had died.

"So familiar."

The little thing always felt she had seen that thing somewhere, but couldn't remember for a moment.

Lumine also felt it was familiar and subconsciously came to the few white flowers, squatting down gently.

"That is the national flower of Khaenri'ah, Inteyvat, exactly the same as the white flower decorating your head."

At this time, it was Luo Li who spoke to explain.

Dainsleif also stared at the national flower with nostalgic eyes.

This kind of flower once bloomed in every corner of the land of Khaenri'ah, and its flowering period was only two weeks; but if it was picked by someone and taken away from Khaenri'ah, the petals would not grow again, and it would become very hard.

Unless it returned to its homeland, the petals would become soft again, and finally vanish into dust.

Therefore, Inteyvat also symbolizes a wanderer, implying the gentleness of home.

Lumine subconsciously touched the petals on her head.

Luo Li had once told her about Inteyvat; before that, the girl had always treated the petals as a kind of ordinary decoration, after all, since the moment she woke up, the petals had appeared on her head.

"Since other Inteyvats appear here, that means..."

"Someone related to Khaenri'ah must have been here!" Paimon added in surprise.

Lumine nodded and just wanted to reach out to pick up the Inteyvat, but the moment she touched it, the world before her suddenly changed.

Before her eyes, the figures of her brother Aether and an Abyss Herald suddenly appeared.

The two seemed to be communicating about something; she vaguely heard lines like "device," "Heavenly Principles," "restoration of the nation," and "cycle."

The suddenly appearing scene did not last long; watching her brother walk toward her, Lumine subconsciously reached out her hand, wanting to hold him back.

At the same time, the scene suddenly dissipated, and the figures of Luo Li and the others appeared before her eyes again.

Lumine shook her head, supported her forehead, and fell into silence.

Dainsleif asked: "What did you see?"

So Lumine told everything about the scene she had just seen.

According to the conversation between Aether and the Abyss Herald, it seemed that in addition to raising the banner of rebellion against the Heavenly Principles, they also wanted to restore the nation.

To this end, they wanted to use the purifying effect of the pool water to transform the Hilichurls back into humans.

Although the hope was less than one percent, everything had to be tried.

Even if it failed, according to Aether's idea, letting the Hilichurls be liberated from this, freed from the state of bearing sin, and returning to the Ley Line cycle.

This might be a good thing for them.

Rather than living so painfully, it was better to die and return to the Ley Lines.

It sounded a bit cruel, but it was also a way.

Luo Li was thoughtful; the Abyss Order had done quite a few things in secret over the years.

It seemed that since he and Raiden Makoto had been trapped in the Abyss for so many years, he didn't know how many more interesting things had appeared on the Teyvat continent.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly looked toward the deep underground of the Chasm.

There, an invisible fluctuation that only he could perceive was constantly emanating, extending to an unknown distance.

"Hmm?"

With a change in expression, Luo Li frowned slightly: "This is... the fluctuation of the Archaic Stone Slate?"

The moment he confirmed it, he intended to go directly to the depths, no longer prepared to play games like house with the three of them.

"I have important matters and need to go to the deep underground first. There's probably no danger here anymore. Lumine, you do as you please; if things end here, you can come over later."

Staring at the direction in the distance, Luo Li left a sentence, and his whole person disappeared before their eyes; clearly, it was teleportation again.

Lumine and Paimon were stunned.

Dainsleif narrowed his eyes; he was a bit curious about the place Luo Li was going to.

The things that could make this Highness go and retrieve them should be quite important.

However, Dainsleif had self-awareness; curiosity often kills the cat. Compared to exploring things that had nothing to do with him, it was better to be honest and behave oneself...

Breathing out gently, the three of them had just exited the cave and returned to the place where the pool water was originally, when they suddenly discovered that an anomaly had occurred around them.

An Abyss Herald appeared before the three.

"It's you again, you really are like a ghost that won't go away!"

The Abyss Herald looked at Dainsleif, his gaze very cold.

"But you came too late; the plan has already begun!"

As his voice fell, they saw the device under the pool water suddenly emit a dazzling light, covering the entire space.

At the same time, the radiance went straight to the pool water above, as if a chemical reaction had occurred, and the original purifying effect suddenly increased by more than ten times.

Dainsleif's face suddenly became painful; the body eroded by the curse made him unable to help but gasp, and even moving was difficult.

After activating the pool water, the Abyss Herald looked coldly at the group: "You cannot stop us!"

After throwing down this sentence, he hurriedly slipped away.

Just kidding, he was also an existence eroded by the curse, and he also couldn't resist the purifying effect of the pool water; staying here wasn't courting death.

Watching the Herald flee, Lumine and Paimon shouted that it was hateful.

In the past, there would at least be a big battle, and they would flee in a sorry state after losing; now, they didn't even fight, directly going through the motions, which made them a bit unaccustomed for a while.

Could it be because they knew she was the younger sister of the Prince? And didn't want to fight?

Hmm, it wasn't that there wasn't this possibility.

Not mentioning the thoughts of the Abyss Heralds, Lumine and Paimon had already taken action, preparing to destroy the device driven by the Abyss Order, or at least make it stop.

Otherwise, if the purifying effect increased, the result would be that those Hilichurls quietly waiting for death would only turn into dust in pain, and could not be transformed into normal humans at all.

This point, they had already understood from Dainsleif's narration.

The curse had already replaced the bodies of the people of Khaenri'ah; if they were purified, all they would get was death.

Unless the curse erosion was not deep, there was still a certain possibility of success.

However, five hundred years had passed, and I'm afraid not a single person could successfully persist.
