Chapter 878 True Tactical Lean-back Posture
Kong had heard of the obscure ring on Xu Ning's hand before.
It appears to have been found in an ancient tomb in Liyue that was suppressed by a powerful array.
Before entering Nata, even though he already knew that Brother Xu's true identity was the God of Wine, Kong would never have imagined that the ring on his hand would be related to the ring on Dain's hand.
However, after learning that Brother Xu had even been in contact with the Lord of Annihilation of the Abyss, it seems possible that he had some other connections with the Abyss Order.
If you think about it carefully, the two rings on Big Brother and Dain's hands might not be the only two in Teyvat. Perhaps there are many other people wearing the same rings.
Xu Ning took a sip of wine, looked at Kong who was frantically swinging his sword, and sighed.
I already said I was just watching the show, why did you have to go and cause trouble? The guy you're hacking away at right now is one of Yingmei's generals. No wonder Yingmei always avoids you, you deserve it!
However, immortality is really useful. No matter what wind, thunder, rock, or fire comes your way, you just won't die. You can just play around... no, you can just block your way.
It's estimated that Kong won't be able to reach Dain before dark.
Xu Ning looked up at the sky and swayed as he walked to Dain's side.
Dain had completely shut his mouth and entered a state of deep meditation, just like the Abyss Cultists who had been sitting in the valley.
Xu Ning looked down at the ring on Dain's finger and sighed, "Don't blame us for not thinking highly of you back then. It's just that your stubborn personality is perfect for this mission."
"However, after so many years, I'm afraid many people and things have become blurred in my memory. Fortunately, I still remember quite a lot, so I'll just fill in the gaps..."
Xu Ning raised the gourd again, took a sip of wine, let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and instantly entered a meditative state.
On the other side, Sora was overjoyed to see this.
The creature in front of him, with four arms, clearly possessed an exceptionally strong control over elemental power. However, most of the time, it acted like a Hilichurl thug, brazenly opening its front and attacking him with its vitals exposed, all in an effort to block his advance.
Moreover, no matter what kind of injury he suffered, he could not completely lose his mobility; he was practically like a piece of chewing gum.
Kong even secretly regretted not having stocked up on more of Brother Xu's liquor, so he could pour it over Harden's head...
Now that Brother Xu has suddenly entered a meditative state, it is a good opportunity to awaken Dain.
"Paimon, where have you been hiding? Go wake Dain!"
Paimon, who had been hiding since the start of the battle, peeked out from a dark corner. "I'm not going. Don't be fooled by the fact that the big drunkard is asleep. Qingyi isn't asleep. The beating I got last time still hurts!"
"You're such a coward... I don't need you to go. Just find a rock and throw it at him to wake him up. Don't pick up a big one, in case he wakes up and hits you, I might not be able to beat him..."
Paimon picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, thought for a moment and threw it away, then picked up a much smaller pebble and aimed it at Dain's head before throwing it.
With a crisp "clang," the pebble struck the Dust-Hidden Gourd and shattered.
Paimon was taken aback. "You drunkard! How can you still move?"
Xu Ning, who had just knocked the pebbles away, pursed his lips. "I just slept for a while, I'm not dead, so why can't I move? Besides, with my limited memory of Kanria, I could send it away in the time it takes to yawn, how could I compare to this guy..."
"And you two, stop messing around over there. I'm talking to you, Kong. This meditation is just reading Dain's memories of his homeland. It won't harm him in the slightest. Why are you so eager to awaken him?"
"This is clearly the final step in restoring Kanria to its former glory. Ying is about to succeed. Are you going to ruin everything with your own hands and let her fail at the last minute?"
Kong suddenly realized what was happening, and his long sword paused involuntarily.
Harden didn't expect Kong to stop suddenly, and almost swung his claw at the head, but he managed to stop in time and knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
"Cough...it really hurts. I thought Daines Reeb would use me to vent his anger on me afterward, but I didn't expect to be torn to pieces by you first. But it doesn't matter, I was prepared for this..."
"Then it seems your awareness is not high enough."
Dain's cold voice suddenly rang out, "He is him and I am me. I will take my share myself."
Harden coughed and laughed, "Cough cough, it's alright, come and take it. Our restoration is complete, and I feel only boundless joy. If you come to kill me, you'll experience similar joy, and I don't mind sharing it with you..."
Dain was clearly disgusted by those words, and his brows furrowed deeply.
"Hmph, I remember you were extremely disdainful of the title 'savior' back then, but now you're willing to wholeheartedly serve her as your master..."
Harden chuckled self-deprecatingly, glancing over the three people in front of him as if he were seeing those three figures from five hundred years ago again.
"How similar it is to those days, the disciple who always made me feel ashamed and resentful, the one who gave us hope only to disappear at the last moment, and you..."
When Xu Ning saw Harden looking at him, he laughed and said, "Old Harden, don't forget you still have something to ask of me. You should know your place when you speak."
"I've always hated it when you call me that. You're the one who started this whole thing. If it weren't for you instigating them to divide it up..."
Xu Ning interrupted Harden with a sneer, "In the end, what? If it weren't for me, do you think Canria would still have a chance to restore its kingdom today? It would have been wiped out by the cycle of karma long ago."
"Alright, I've finally accompanied you on your final journey. Now, I'll leave the rest to the hardworking Calibel, you two..."
Xu Ning traced lines between Dain and Harden with his finger, "...If there's any unresolved grudge, hurry up and settle it. I'm in a rush to get to my next game!"
Dain turned and looked at Harden expressionlessly.
Harden's face was indeed expressionless, but the signal sent by his four outstretched arms was quite obvious.
"Come on, I'll take it all."
Kong completely ignored the two enemies at this point. He rushed over and grabbed Xu Ning's arm.
"Although I still don't quite understand what Harden did, does this mean that Canria has been restored? Then Ying won't have to continue bearing that responsibility, right? Can we leave here now? What's this next appointment you mentioned? Do you want to secretly see Ying without taking me with you?"
Xu Ning leaned back in a "true" tactical stance. "Hey, calm down, put your sword away! What made you think I was going to abandon you?"
