People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 384: The Abyss Cult's Farming and Kaliber in the Dream

Northeast corner of Mondstadt, the angel's gift.

At noon, the traditional tavern filled with wooden tables and chairs was bustling with people.

In this extremely noisy environment,
A certain leader of the Abyss Cult, who was hated by everyone on the continent, made an extremely "lifelike" request to Lin Feng in a very contrasting way.

"."

Due to the special nature of its members, all of the decisions made by the cult before this had nothing to do with the traditional development method of "farming".
For Sora, he suddenly had to take responsibility for the lives and development of so many hill people.

Even though he had hundreds of years of management experience, he was still a little flustered for a while.
Other things are easy to talk about.
But if the problem of housing for the returning members cannot be solved, the cult may have to consider expanding its territory beyond the Dark Sea.

"."

After thinking for a while, it didn't take long for him to extract two key pieces of information from the words of the little yellow-haired abyss creature in front of him.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, and before giving a response, he asked a question that he was more interested in:
".According to what you said, the cult has discovered an underground ruin with almost infinite space on an island at the edge of the Mondstadt Sea.

According to the information currently available,

Do you think that if this underground ruins is slightly modified, it will eventually become a large settlement suitable for the Qiuqiu people to live in?"

——After combining the three key words of Mond Island, underground ruins, and power of the abyss, Lin Feng was of course able to guess that the place Kong was talking about at the moment was most likely the "Abyss Spiral" in the game.

According to some of the texts he knew, that place seemed to be the remains of an ancient civilization, but because it was filled with a strong aura of the abyss, even the internal spatial rules had changed.

The further down you go, the stronger the monster projections condensed by the power of the abyss become, and the stronger the infection from the abyss becomes.

If those monster projections really have the same level as in the game, then it would probably be an extremely dangerous place for most experts with the Eye of God.

——However, everything has two sides. If we can deal with the power of the abyss here and allow the hill people to survive in it,

So compared to building a super-large cave from scratch, it is actually more convenient to directly use the existing space for transformation.

".Reform? To be honest with you, this sect has not yet studied it."

After hearing what Lin Feng said, Kong paused.
Even though the sect was full of talented people, he had never seen anyone consider such a radical plan before.

After thinking for a moment, he recalled the report submitted by his subordinates and gave the currently known intelligence:

"——The laws of that underground space are very different from those of the outside world, and the strength of the abyss is also very high.

Although it does have nearly unlimited expandability, the current technology of the cult does not allow it to be transformed into a habitable environment."

".However, your Excellency's specialness in the aspect of the power of the abyss is particularly obvious, and the level of your ability is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
If it is really possible to reconstruct each level of space there into an area similar to an independent cave,

Judging from the number of levels we have explored so far, we really don’t have to worry about issues related to living space anymore.”

That being said, Sora actually didn't hold much hope for this.

The abyss infection there is particularly strong, and the source is the real abyss outside the world that is not controlled by the cult.

According to previous experience, even if he, "His Royal Highness the Prince", entered there, he would be attacked by those projected monsters.

The prerequisite for transforming a place is undoubtedly to gain absolute control over it.

But given the current situation, it is hard to say what is in the deepest part of this space.
"."

"Is that so? Then I'll go over with you guys after I finish what I'm doing.
After all, this is still within the world of Teyvat.
Regardless of whether the transformation can be carried out or not, sealing all the gaps that may lead to the infiltration of the power of the abyss is undoubtedly the highest priority."

According to previous experience, wherever there are a large number of projections of abyss monsters, there are basically gaps caused by the erosion of the abyss.
Lin Feng reasonably believed that if Tianli was still awake, there was a high probability that a bright sky nail would hit the position of the abyss spiral.

After a brief pause, he thought about his subsequent action plan in Mondstadt, looked at Sora in front of him, and began to make arrangements:

"——I am currently preparing to obtain a vital elemental authority.
Although there are still some issues to be resolved, based on previous experience, this process should not take too much time in the outside world.

After completing this prerequisite work, in the subsequent abyss research phase, I will give priority to accompanying you to the ancient ruins.
Regardless of whether the hidden dangers there can be eliminated,

As long as you can provide some of the missing materials afterwards, I can create a cave space large enough for the cult."

I interrupted the conversation and glanced at Sora beside me.
Recalling a name that was mentioned many times in the other person's words,
Lin Feng thought for a moment, called the waiter next to him to settle the bill, and then stood up.
In the somewhat surprised look of the "Prince", he told me his plans for the rest of the day:
"——Since your main task has gradually shifted to guiding the development of the Hillichurls, how about taking me to meet Kaliber?"

"According to the study of the ecology of the Qiuqiu people, although the outside world often refers to this group of people as Qiuqiu people, there are often conflicts and even wars between different tribes of Qiuqiu people.
I am actually curious about how this member of the cult you mentioned managed to make the hill people from so many different tribes live in harmony. "

"."

".Calibel?"

".Although he himself longed for the Excellency who changed the fate of the Qiuqiu people,

But because his current form of existence is too special, I may not be able to meet you in the usual way."

"I know."

He interrupted lightly, before Sora could start to tell the story of how everything started hundreds of years ago.
Because he had a deep impression of the offspring of the founder of the Abyss Cult in the game, Lin Feng simply and directly stated the information he knew:

"As the key point of the "Loom of Destiny" plan, Kalibel Alberich has long been left with only a little consciousness left in the world.

Considering the completeness of the Loom of Destiny you revealed earlier, he can probably only meet me in his 'memories' now." - As a world-class tool that can weave a new vein, the complete Loom of Destiny
It is a miracle that can only be born under the catalysis of the unimaginable force of the abyss.
But after Lin Feng asked the little yellow-haired boy, he found that he gave a very poor answer with a sincere face, "I haven't figured out how to use it yet."

He was speechless and temporarily did not hand over the "Eye of the Tiller" to the Abyss Cult.

At this moment, Kaliber, as the user of the incomplete loom of fate,
Because his body had completely dissipated in the erosion of the abyss hundreds of years ago,

At present, the only thing he can do is to use some means to put the woven "memories" into other people's minds.
Although this ability can help him guide those less intelligent hillbillies,
But if he wanted to meet other people, it would be inconvenient to do so in this way.

".I clearly remember not explaining Caribel's situation in detail before.
Your intelligence acquisition ability is as unpredictable as ever."

He was already used to the various "surprises" or "shocks" that the person in front of him gave him.
Faced with this situation that seemed like it had been foretold, Kong, who had gradually become desensitized, inexplicably felt that it was natural.

".Well, since you already know everything, come with me to see Kaliber.
Judging from the time, he should be telling everyone a story right now."

After a brief pause, he connected the two words "Hichou people" and "story" which should have nothing to do with each other.
Kong, who had always had a stern face, also showed a rare look of relaxation towards this purest member of the cult.

".In the new world, we bid farewell to the dusty sun,

At the cost of past pain, the soul becomes pure and transparent."

".Behold, all those who were separated are by my side,
In this new world, we have endless time to love, and even when we are sad, we no longer have to worry about shedding tears.

The breeze in the wilderness gently brushes across our faces, and the warm fragrance of flowers in the wind stays in front of our peaceful sleep.
At the very end, he spoke softly. "

On the east side of Mondstadt, a remote and sparsely populated area.

On this island, which is similar to the wilderness environment where Little Yellow Hair first survived,
Many hairy hillbillies set up their tents and sat in front of the open space in the afternoon.

Even though the reality is blank, the lullaby that does not exist in anyone's ears is reverberating in their hearts with great reality.

In those memories that seem independent of each other, yet seem to be connected to each other,

They just put on masks to participate in a game, and surrounded a young man with peace of mind.

The fear of my true face gradually faded away, and the uneasiness in my heart slowly dissipated.
Suddenly leaving the place where I had lived for a long time,

Because of this extremely gentle confession, their confusion about coming to this strange island finally disappeared.

"."

Just standing here, I can sense the peace of mind of the hill people in front of me.

Lin Feng and Kong beside him did not speak either.

After a pause, he gently waved and greeted several Abyss Mages who were helping the Hilliculers build a temporary shelter.
Kong looked at the Abyss Apostle who was sitting next to the two Hillilks in the distance, and said with some emotion:
".Beside Lais are his family, who were found in the wilderness of Liyue a few days ago.

When they were found, they were all wearing easily identifiable ornaments, exactly the same as the one he kept."

".A long time ago, some members had made similar attempts, but after all, the Seven Nations did not welcome us, and the transformed Hill Culverts rarely had obvious characteristics.

When a few successful people come back after going through untold hardships, they find that their families can no longer be the same as before.

Because they are afraid to face all this, the members of the cult have not taken similar actions for a long time. "

".If it weren't for the possibility you showed them, they would have regained hope.
Then the only motivation for the cult members to survive is probably revenge against the gods."

——Transforming into an Abyss Mage or even an Abyss Apostle does not mean losing past memories and sanity. At least there are some ways to suppress the influence of the Abyss within the cult.

But too much time will gradually erode everything. If we cannot find new spiritual coordinates, the uncontrollable desire for destruction will eventually slowly drive away our only rationality.

"."

Concentrating on observing this area, Lin Feng did not reply.
He knew the destructive power of the abyss to the world, and he also knew that the war was bound to happen.
Rather than saying that it is the gods who destroyed the godless kingdom, it would be more accurate to say that it is Teyvat who intercepted the power of the abyss.

However, there are also many records in the Order of the Immortals of the Kanreya Anti-War Faction going to other countries to desperately intercept the Abyss Monsters and fight to the last man.
Influenced by this, he had no ill will towards the Kanriya people who could only be transformed into ordinary hillbillies.

".Hmm? Are you here?"

Suddenly, I felt an interference from the consciousness level, and instantly realized that this was most likely caused by Kaliber using the Loom of Destiny.
This communication method similar to dreams is not unfamiliar to me.

Lin Feng recalled Kong's evaluation of Kalibel as the "purest member of the cult".

Because of a little curiosity in his heart, he used his current power to pull the source of interference into the space of consciousness.

".Thank you for giving me this opportunity to meet you. I just felt that the power of the Loom of Destiny could no longer affect you."

"..To be able to help all members of the cult find their 'meaning' again, and even bring back so many Hillchur people, I never thought that one day I would be able to witness such a situation with my own eyes."

"——If I'm not mistaken, this should be the consciousness space you built, right? It's incredible, I can only exist in my memory."

In the emerald green space surrounded by clear water, Kaliber, who exuded a "gentle" aura, looked at the green grass under his feet in surprise.
Because the feeling coming from his side was too real, he even thought for a moment that he had returned to the time when he was still alive hundreds of years ago.

I took a breath of fresh air, looked up at the "benefactor" sitting at the table in front of me and extended his hand to invite me.
Kaliber, who had not been able to communicate with anyone in this way for a long time since his death in childhood,
Because of some sudden impact, he stayed where he was in a trance.
