Chapter 198 How about changing the name of this business?
"I need to be able to pass on the information I want to convey after my death. Can you do it?" He spoke openly of his needs without hiding anything.
"Ah?" Jiang Bai was stunned.
How come no one who handles this business wants to collect corpses seriously?
They might as well change the name of their business.
"Can't do it?" Diluc was a little disappointed.
"No, it's just a surprise. However, according to the customer's ethics, I will not ask for the customer's privacy. We will strictly complete the posthumous affairs required by the customer in accordance with the content written in the contract."
Jiang Bai emphasized the words "death affairs".
Their Purity Hall is for funerals, not anything weird!
Posthumous affairs, this is his posthumous affairs.
Diluc didn't miss the point either.
"Okay, I'll come back to you after this matter is over." Diluc nodded, not intending to say more here.
Listening to his words, Kaiya couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "As for you, you are still so young and you are thinking about what will happen after death."
"Brother Diluc is going to a dangerous place?" Keli also looked at him.
Diluc didn't react to Kaia's words, but comforted Keli, "No, I'm just taking precautions before they happen."
Keli didn't quite understand, but everyone didn't seem worried, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't ignore my words so openly!" Kaia was unhappy with Diluc repeatedly treating him like nothing.
Diluc's eyes finally fell on him again, but his tone was not very friendly.
"What, the Knights want to fight with me?"
Kaia smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, "How should we deal with this Abyss Mage?"
He looked at the Ice Abyss mage who was still unconscious, and his expression became serious.
"I feel that this Wind Demon Dragon uprising has something to do with the Abyss Cult!"
Jiang Bai curiously walked to the Abyss Mage and squatted down, poking at this strange Abyss Mage with his finger.
Keli also wanted to see this strange furry creature, but Kaia held her back.
Abyss mages are very dangerous, but Keli is still too young to be exposed to them.
Jiang Bai has met abyss mages several times, and the three that impressed him most were the three in Guyun Pavilion.
It’s just that he doesn’t really know much about the Abyss Mage.
Diluc struck just right, knocking him unconscious instead of killing him directly. Even if Jiang Bai poked him with his finger, the abyss mage did not wake up.
Looking at the mask on Master Abyss's face, the mask seemed to be integrated with the furry hood on his body. Jiang Bai grabbed the two ears on the hat and stretched out his hand to tug.
The Abyss Mage's entire hat was pulled off, revealing his true face hidden under the mask.
How to say?
The Abyss Mage without his clothes is ugly, very ugly.
Like an ice-blue stick figure, there is no hair on the body, and the face that can barely be called a face only has two dark holes and a mouth underneath for talking.
There are two soft tentacles on the top of its head, which can barely be called ears.
After seeing his true appearance, Jiang Bai quickly put the hood back on him.
No wonder you have to wear a mask, after all, you still look better wearing a mask.
However, looking at the clothes on the Abyss Mage, they have exquisite patterns, bright colors, and a certain sense of beauty. They don't look like they could be made by ordinary monsters.
"Monsters like the Abyss Mage are quite different from the monsters I have encountered before."
The only monsters he has encountered so far are Qiuqiu people, dragon lizards, slimes, and cheating flowers. But the abyss mages are completely different from these low-intelligence monsters. They have higher intelligence than these monsters and can even be more powerful.
With clever use of elemental power, he can even control lower-level Qiuqiu people.
Diluc walked over and looked at the short abyss mage with a cold expression.
"Abyss mages are the bottom-level executors of the Abyss Order. They can control the minds of Qiuqiu people. Even if they are not strong themselves, they are much more difficult to deal with because of their intelligence."
This was the second time Jiang Bai heard them mention [Abyss Order], and he couldn't help but ask:
"What kind of force is the Abyss Order?"
He has never heard of this strength at all. Even the hall master probably doesn't know this.
"This is a very large force. They are spread all over Teyvat and are engaged in various conspiracies and sabotage. These abyss mages are their bottom-level executors."
Jiang Bai thoughtfully said, "In other words, the equipment and weapons of the Qiuqiu people are actually provided by the Abyss Religion. Even the use of crossbows was taught by these Abyss mages. They use the Qiuqiu people to control the Qiuqiu people.
This low-level monster can do all kinds of destructive things."
Diluc nodded, with some approval in his expression.
He did not mention that the crossbows used by the Qiuqiu people were standard weapons, but Jiang Bai was able to realize the abnormality of the Qiuqiu people's possession of standard weapons, and quickly connected the two.
This response is very good.
Jiang Bai squatted and did not see Diluc's expression.
He held his chin and couldn't help but think further and further.
"But, what is their purpose? Is it simply that the two races are incompatible? Or is there another purpose?"
Although humans and monsters belong to the same two races, he has had friendly contact with the Qiuqiu people, and by standing further away, he can look at the contradiction between the two races from the most fundamental perspective, bypassing the disgust of humans.
Human activities require territory, and Qiuqiu people's activities naturally require territory. When the scope of activities of the two parties conflicts, they will be driven away and attacked.
This is true for different races, and it is also true for people of the same race.
This is the most basic contradiction between humans and Qiuqiu people.
These most basic contradictions gradually evolved into more contradictions. The mourning of relatives and friends, the pain of occupying the homeland, accumulated over countless years, hatred merged into the flesh and blood, the two sides were hostile to each other, and peace could never be achieved.
But as long as there is no intrusion from both sides, humans will not take the initiative to attack the Qiuqiu people living in the deep mountains and old forests.
Qiuqiu people rarely take the initiative to approach human cities, and only a few are close to the scope of human activities.
The Abyss Mage has broken away from the category of low-level monsters and has intelligence equivalent to that of a human being. It would be too low-level to say that such a creature lays out such a conspiracy just for the sake of a simple grudge between humans and monsters, and just to hurt a small group of people.
.
Unless they want to completely eliminate humans and make Teyvat completely belong to their monsters.
However, for humans with the protection of gods, this is destined to be impossible, unless the Abyss Cult has the strength to rival the gods.
But if so, is it still necessary to do such sneaky tricks?
Is it because you know that you cannot achieve these goals, so you settle for the next best thing, just to disturb human beings?
