Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

Noticing Wendy's puzzled expression, the high priest's eyes moved to him again, and said with a smile: "You two can rest assured, I am different from Wadiye. I don't have a habit of layout. To be precise, this is just My bet."

"Bet?" Wendy was even more puzzled.

"Wardier must have told you two stories about the snake god, right?" The high priest's eyes moved deeper into the cave and he stared quietly.

Then, he turned his head to look at Wendy, his eyes turning indifferent again, but the coldness had disappeared.

Hearing his question, Wendy nodded and replied: "Is it the story about the princess who died and was resurrected by a snake, becoming a snake god and protecting the village?"

"That is the most widely circulated version among the villagers, but different versions have been passed down by successive high priests."

Snakes, if not demons, are cold-blooded animals. They are the ultimate egoists.

The snakes that were initially attracted by the princess were not moved by the princess's story. What they heard was actually the princess's resentment.

The princess resented the king's father for killing her, and she was buried unwillingly.

The snake felt so much resentment that it possessed the princess.

All they need is a medium, a medium to help them hunt.

So, they possessed the princess and hunted in that kingdom late at night. The number of people in that kingdom soon became fewer and fewer, until finally the entire kingdom collapsed and was swallowed up by the rain forest.

The snake god who lost his hunting ground naturally needed to find a new hunting ground, but he could not attack the villagers.

Because the princess has love for the villagers, she also made a promise to protect the villagers.

And the villagers also have faith in the princess.

Therefore, the snake could only look at these villagers who lived a stable life with its greedy eyes, quietly coveting them from behind, and wanted to swallow them whole.

As time goes by, their desire for humans becomes more and more intense, but they are restricted by the contract between the princess and the people, and the contract between the princess and the snake, and they cannot do anything to the villagers.

Of course, the profession of priest did not exist at that time.

"priest…"

Hearing the high priest talk about priests, Wendy recalled the words of the high priest in the conversation that night.

In the eyes of the high priest, both humans and gods are needed by humans.

In this way, people at that time did not need it, so the identity of priests did not appear.

But why is it needed again later?

Having said this, the high priest breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the iron chain and looked at the animal skin hanging on the iron chain.

"What do you think this place is like? And what is the use of that huge stone?" The high priest turned around and looked at them and asked.

Hearing this, Wendy looked around, then at the huge boulder fragments behind her, holding her chin in thought: "In my opinion, this is more like a place where you want to trap something and prevent it from coming out."

"Yes, these were all arranged by the first high priest." Wadiye nodded to Wendy affirmatively.

It is said that four hundred years ago, a demon god came to the village. This demon god came from the island in the southeast, but he brought a piano from the north.

When she arrived, the princess, who was still possessed by the snake at that time, received her warmly.

And she also stated that she did not come here to invade the village, her purpose was just to find a treasure.

Having said this, the high priest paused, and then looked at Wendy and Zhongli with a half-smile: "Speaking of which, her purpose is very similar to yours. What she is looking for is also a way to resist the virus."

Hearing this, Wendy was startled.

It’s not surprising that the high priest knew about this, it must have been reported to him by Wadiye.

The strange thing is why Ishikawa Yoshicho also came to find a way to resist the virus? Did she know at that time that she would be threatened by An En?

But if she came back through time travel, before time travel, Wendy clearly remembered that there was no An En or Jia Yudie in Mondstadt at that time, so how could she predict the future.

However, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get answers to these questions if she asked the high priest. Wendy could only suppress her doubts for the time being and wait for the high priest to continue telling the next story.

"Did she find it?" Wendy asked.

The high priest shook his head helplessly: "No, in the legend of the rain forest, there is indeed a herb that can achieve the purpose she wants, but it can only act on the demon god. When the demon god uses his divine power to activate the medicine, it can protect the demon god. , not affected by the rainforest virus, but well, those are legends after all.”

The demon god searched for a long time in the rainforest but could not find it, and finally left in disappointment.

It is worth mentioning that she has a good relationship with a girl in the village.

Because the girl's mother died in childbirth when she was born, her family regarded her as unlucky, and she was discriminated against since she was a child.

And that demon can be said to be the girl's only friend.

Later, after the devil left, a virus broke out in the village. At that time, people in the girl's family became sick first, but the girl was safe and sound.

As a result, people became more convinced that she was the one who brought bad luck, and the demon god was also regarded by the ignorant people as the demon god who spread the virus. She happened to be very close to the demon god at that time.

Later, her family members brought her here and killed her in the tunnel.

She burst out with great resentment before her death. Such resentment attracted a swarm of snakes, which left the princess's body and slowly attached themselves to the girl.

So at the snake's instigation, the girl borrowed the snake's power to become the new snake god and cursed the entire village.

After the snake leaves the princess, the princess is bound to die, but people's long-term belief in the princess has also given the princess some power, and as the previous host of the snake group, she can also communicate with the snake god.

So she cast a spell to delay the girl's progress in becoming a snake god.

And before she died, she gave this power to a girl from the outside world whom she took in, and asked her to seal the snake god and protect the village.

Later, the girl took advantage of the fact that the snake god had not yet become a complete body, and sealed the snake god, and set up these iron chains, animal skins, and the huge stone.

He also taught the sealing spell to the villagers, because the villagers have deep-rooted belief in the snake god, so it can only be said to be a prayer, leading them to sing it every day to strengthen the seal.

And this girl also became the first priest.

But unfortunately he didn't have enough strength, so part of the snake god's curse still seeped out, and it was reflected in the current sacrifice messenger.

Fortunately, the village is protected by the priests, and the snake god has only one opportunity to cause trouble after accumulating strength for a year.

But if you leave the village and the protection of the priest during the sacrifice day, the snake god will go on a killing spree.

But on weekdays, restricted by the seal, it is not so powerful. It can only cause people to have nightmares after leaving the village and destroy people's hearts.

The medium through which it casts spells is the stone statues in the grass in the village.

In this way, a strange balance has been achieved, which is already a good ending compared to the destroyed kingdom.
