Genshin Impact: Narcissus Cross Salvation Plan at the Beginning

The video feed fades into darkness.

When the light curtain comes back on.

The time in the picture is clearly some time after that conversation.

One morning, a traveler who was about to set off on a commission from the Adventurers' Guild stopped because of Paimon's whim.

"It's been a while, so let's go back to the association and see everyone. "

Ying thought about it, compared to the thunderous commissions of the Adventurers' Guild every day.

Sure enough, it was the Narcissus Cross that made her care more.

So, the two put aside their adventurous plans for the time being and chose to go to the association.

As soon as he returned to the association, Ann burst out in a rage.

"Glow Knight, Paimon, you're back!"

Paimon happily waved to Ann as well.

"Uh-huh, have you made any new discoveries during this time?"

Ann immediately said:

"Mr. Katpila and I took a closer look—"

Paimon waits with wide eyes for Ann's follow-up.

"Seymour doesn't seem to have a wide-area annihilation mode!"

Seymour helped aside:

After sorting through the fragments, it was found that the source of the entry may be the novel "Prisoner Six: Hyperturn". "

"In this volume, in order to hunt down synths, the World Agency has deployed wide-area annihilation agents. "

Paimon: "?"

After a moment's pause, Paimon complained loudly.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all!!"

Katpila on the side also spoke:

"In my spare time from researching, I also looked through the books in the association. "

"I didn't understand it at the time, but now I think... Uh, that's so well written. "

"I don't know whose handwriting it is, or where the scribe was hired, the font is beautiful and clear, it's really calligraphy. "

Ying also complained: "The result is that the handwriting is good?"

Paimon and Ying looked at each other helplessly, and then spread their hands:

"I have a bad premonition, haven't I actually discovered anything during this time?"

Katerpila smiled, then his expression became serious again.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you, we've shared what we know with you before. "

"But there may still be some subtle threads that will take some opportunity to reveal the true meaning. "

Ying was a little puzzled: "Opportunity?"

Katpiera nodded: "That's right, if the murder case is not exposed, then the blood on the painting will always be just a smear of red." "

"And what's the trigger?" Paimon asked.

Katpila thought for a moment and gave the idea he had come up with during that time.

"For example, how about we restore an event?"

"Reasoning about what happened before may remind us of the missing details to support or refute. "

Ann agreed:

"It's a great idea, and I've been in a state where I feel familiar but can't think of anything. "

Paimon was curious, "Then what should I reason?"

Katpila laughed:

"As a warm-up, we can start by reasoning about a relatively simple question. "

"For example, what is Marianne in the sleeping place?"

"Huh?!" Ann exclaimed.

"You can see that Marianne has the biggest secret hidden in him, right? "

Katerpila gave her reasons.

Ying nodded approvingly.

Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that [Marianne] has a deep connection with the Marianne in Seymour's mouth.

The key is how Marianne was born.

And Lilith, the pure water elf who was called the Red Queen by Katerpila, what role did she play in it?

Subsequently, the crowd began to speculate on the hidden truth based on various clues.

Ann spoke first:

"I'll do it first, well, the name [Marianne] feels familiar to me. "

Seymour added:

"My goal is to be called Marianne, yes, but whose data entry is [Marianne] in the Sleeping Place needs to be completed. "

"In the absence of precise context, I can only conclude that the two are not the same person by the human life expectancy, with no other strings attached. "

Paimon also agreed: "Indeed, hundreds of years have passed, and normal people are afraid that they will die of old age a long time ago, right?"

Ying shook her head:

"Have you forgotten the Doctor we met before?"

Although he can no longer be called a human being to some extent, it also shows that human beings can achieve immortality through some conditions. "

【Atractylodes: Immortal ......】

[Changsheng: Ah, what do you want me to do?]

[Paimon: Poof, it's obviously not the name they're talking about!]

[Changsheng: Hmph, don't interject if you don't understand stupid protein!]

[Hu Tao: Oh, it's better to care about the doctor in the screen than to be immortal.] 】

[Yelan: The second doctor of the Fatui executive... Has Ying dealt with such a dangerous person on a previous trip?]

[Ningguang: Being in second place among the Fatui executives known for their strength, this doctor's strength should not be underestimated. 】

[Ying: It seems that I have dealt with this so-called Fatui many times in the future. 】

[Nahida: The Fatui third seat and above have the strength of a god, so please be careful. 】

[Doctor: Oh, knowing so much information, and with what you've said before, you're probably just-]

【Nahida:......】

[Doctor: Hehe, shouldn't I be happier to be so praised by the gods of my hometown?]

[Barbara: The god of the homeland?!]

[Alhaithham: I heard that the doctor studied at the Sumeru Akademiya, and was later expelled from the academy for making a big mistake. 】

[Alhaithham: The hometown god you are talking about is the little auspicious grass king who rarely appears?]

[Paimon: Huh!!In other words, this Miss Nahida is the grass god of Sumeru?!]

[Nahida: Yes, that's right...]

[Dina Zedai: I didn't expect it at all!It turns out that the little auspicious grass king is so close to him!!]

[Dicia: I said, the god of water in Fontaine and the god of thunder in Inazuma have both appeared in the chat channel, so you should have been mentally prepared for this situation. 】

[Nilou: What Decia said does have a point, but how can she calm down when she can look at the little grass god so closely!]

[Dina Zedai: Yes, yes, little auspicious grass king, I am your believer!!]

[Nahida: It's Dinazedhi... Long time no see...]

[Dina Zedai: Sure enough! When I was a child, I saw the real little grass god in my dreams!]

[Cyno: I don't want to interrupt you, but I have to. 】

[Cyno: Dear Little Auspicious Grass King, I have a question for you. 】

[Nahida: Ahhh

[Cyno: I always thought that the grass god was not interested in governing Sumeru, so he kept hiding behind the scenes. 】

[Cyno: But from what you said in the chat channel and what Miss Dinazadze said, it seems that this is not the case. 】

[Cyno: So, what is your reason for doing this?]

[Nahida: ......] (If you read a violent novel, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)

[Hazard: Judge of the Great Wind, how can you question the gods with such an attitude!]

[Cyno: There are very few opportunities to meet the gods, but I just hope that the grass god can answer the questions in my heart. 】

[Cyno: But Your Excellency the Great Sage, is it because he has some unsavory secrets?]

[Hazard: Hmph, everything I do is for Sumeru, how can there be any so-called secrets!]

[Nahida: Please stop arguing about this. 】

[Nahida: I just think that I am immature as a god, and I don't have enough ability to govern all of Sumeru, that's all...]

【Cyno: .....】

[Cyno: I see, I see. 】

What Nahida said was not the whole truth.

She knows very well what kind of turmoil will usher in Sumeru once her situation is exposed.

And from the information exposed in the live broadcast room before, she faintly smelled the breath of wind and rain coming.

At such a critical moment, Sumeru, whose combat strength was already seriously insufficient, must not waste its precious combat power in civil strife.

However, Nahida did not guess Hazard's true purpose.

Whether she wants it or not, Sumeru's future is bound to usher in earth-shaking changes.

As for whether it will be shattered in this turmoil, or reborn from the ashes. []

All this depends only on the choice of fate!

At the same time.

In the Fontaine's Momang Palace.

Funina, who was in a similar situation to Nahida, vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Having also lost their god five hundred years ago, the people of Fontaine desperately needed a powerful god to lead them out of their predicament.

It was also because of this that she had to wear that mask to start the performance for 500 years.

And Sumeru, deep underground, is the Kanria of the year.

The mouth of the abyss is even deeper in the desert!

As the first front line in the Seven Kingdoms to face the abyssal beast tide.

The predicament that Sumeru faced at the beginning was much more serious than Fontaine!

After the fall of the previous grass gods, Sumeru, like Fontaine, needed a strong leader to reassure the people.

But the little auspicious grass king who inherited the throne of the god lived in a simple place and rarely appeared for five hundred years.

All the responsibilities of governing Sumeru were given to the Sumeru Akademya.

This is extremely unusual no matter how you look at it!

However, Funina was still suspicious.

But when Nahida herself said so, she could only choose to believe it.

It's just that deep down, she still thinks that there must be some unknown secrets hidden inside Sumeru.

Maybe all this can be revealed when the live broadcast room is exposed to Sumeru.

The disturbances in reality are not mentioned for the time being.

In the video, Ying also begins to deduce the whole story after summarizing the information provided by Caterpillara, Ann, and Seymour.

The Narcissus Cross adventure group that I met in the sleeping place before, Jacques and Al, all have special intelligence.

Oselle, whom he had encountered before, may also have the ability to create this kind of water-based life, but that special intelligence seems to be only capable of pure water elves.

[Marianne], who has the same name as Seymour's owner, seems to know everything...

Even if she's not the pure water elf behind the scenes, at least there's something to do with it.

Ying informed Katpila and the others of the results of her thinking.

Katpila nodded and praised:

"'That's right, the strangeness of the sleeping place points to the abilities of the pure water elves. "

"Moreover, this is not Miss An's doing, all this shows that..."

Paimon also roughly understood, "There's a water sprite in the sleeping place?"

Katpila nodded:

"I also have this guess in my heart, [Marianne] must have a lot to do with that pure water elf. "

"Even, maybe she's... The princess herself. "

"You mean, [Marianne] might be Princess Lilith?" Ann asked in a whisper.

In fact, she also had a guess about it in her heart, but she couldn't be sure.

Katpila continued:

"Yes, Lilith, the Scarlet Empress of the Narcissus Cross Society, the Scarlet Empress who likes to cut off people's heads. "

Paimon's eyes widened, and he said in horror, "Chop, chop people's heads?"

"I seem to have some imprint on this, too," Ann whispered.

"Not for this Lilith, but for some fairy tale connected to the name Marianne. "

Looking at Paimon's panicked expression, Katpeira explained:

"Cutting off people's heads is just a metaphor, because Lilith is pure water, so she has the ability to dissolve and extract the will of people. "

"The Narcissus Cross Society uses her abilities to perform rituals of self-detachment in order to achieve transcendent sanctification. "

Seymour then spoke, "For Lilith, there are some keywords indexed messages. "

"Lilith is one of the registered Water Elves, and she is not eligible to choose to stay in the waters outside of Fontaine, known as a special source of information called Fontaine. "

She was assigned to be called the director of the orphanage, and her main role was to symbolize the kindness of the previous water gods. "

Later, during the Kamriya cataclysm, the orphanage was abandoned due to the first flood crisis, and her whereabouts are not recorded in the official records. "

Seymour went on to add a few.

It is said that she wandered through the ruins full of self-reproach and antidescent because she could not understand the relationship between the catastrophe, the flight of orphans, and her own actions. "

"I have an underwater sports mod, and I once dived back with Miss Yu... The ruins of an orphanage with spatial coordinates identical to the sleeping place. "

"There, I found a sad wandering water elf..."

When she reappeared in the dossier, she was already a core member of the Narcissus Cross Society, and was a wanted person of the first class. "

Paimon grimaced the words, "Doesn't sound like a bad guy..."

"Considering that it may have something to do with Ann, it must have been coaxed!"

Seymour then gave the last piece of information related to it,

"By the way, it's worth noting that the name of the orphanage is called—"

"Narcissus Cross. "。
