Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

With Wendy, they quickly became close to Granny Shanina. If Zhongli was the only one here, the content of the chat would probably be very official.

But with Wendy here, they seemed like grandma's distant relatives.

However, the mutual politeness between Wendy and Granny Shanina soon ended, and then it was time to ask about business matters.

After thinking about it, Wendy asked tactfully: "Grandma, what day is that sacrifice day?"

On the way here, Zhongli briefly told Wendy what he had learned from the village chief.

A hundred years ago, when he was ten years old, this old man was the messenger of sacrifices that year.

But for some reason, she was not devoured by the snake god in full view of the public.

That year, the snake god let her go, and never again chose her as a messenger for sacrifices.

Although she narrowly escaped death, that memory should still be unforgettable, and Wendy firmly believed that the so-called snake god would not just save her from death for no reason. There must be some deal involved.

Therefore, Wendy couldn't directly ask what happened that year, so she had to ask politely. After all, she was afraid of touching something she didn't want to think of.

"Sacrifice Day... Sacrifice Day is a sacrifice day. It is a day to worship the gods and express gratitude to the gods." Grandma Shanina smiled kindly.

"Well..." This explanation, which was like the definition of a word, made Wendy purse her lips and think, and then asked, "Then what do people usually do on the day of sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice Day..." Shanina frowned, then raised her head and looked out the window, her thoughts slowly drifting away, as if they had drifted to that distant hundred years ago.

After a long silence, she looked at Wendy with a helpless smile, then shook her head and said, "Sorry, I can't remember clearly."

"It doesn't matter!" Wendy also guessed the result.

From the very beginning, when she explained it with her paraphrase, Wendy was sure that she didn't want to mention it.

If you don't want to, just don't want to. Anyway, Lord Barbatos is not a person who will force others to make things difficult.

Maybe she felt embarrassed for not answering them, so Grandma Shanina asked with a smile: "Then what other questions do you want to ask? Except for what happened a hundred years ago, I can remember everything else. "

Everyone said this, so Wendy was definitely not willing to miss this free opportunity to ask questions, and quickly asked: "Grandma, during these seven days, are we really inseparable from the village?"

"Not necessarily." Shanina said.

According to what she said, if you leave the village, you will indeed anger the gods and suffer divine punishment, but not everyone will experience it.

In her long years, she has seen people flee the village out of fear and unwilling to watch people they know die.

They were fine and even came back to see old friends.

But there were some who couldn't leave. After crossing the border, their lives were devoured by the snake god.

There seems to be some connection, but a hundred years have passed and no one has been able to discover it.

No, perhaps, research on this point has been going on for hundreds of years.

But people never know.

"Don't worry, there are almost thousands of people in the village. They are dying faster than they are born. There will only be more and more of these people, and they will not become extinct." Shanina said.

The truth is this, and it has been going on for hundreds of years. Maybe it has become a habit for them.

But for outsiders like Wendy, isn't this a windless place?

Later, they didn't ask any more questions, but chatted with grandma about home affairs again, and didn't leave until dusk.

Just when I opened the door, I happened to meet the high priest who came to visit the old woman.

The moment Wendy opened the door and saw the high priest, he subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, he turned around and bumped into Zhongli again, which inevitably made him take a breath of cold air and scolded the high priest several times in his heart.

In the end, he turned his head and greeted the high priest with a smile: "You are here too, what a coincidence."

The high priest looked at the tall and short people in front of him, and then said coldly: "You two really can't stay idle all day."

"Well... we also want to build a good relationship with our neighbors. Have you eaten? Do you want to have another meal together?" Wendy smiled very friendly.

Otherwise, if he was not a well-known actor, if he only looked at Wendy instead of the high priest, he might have thought that he was greeting some familiar acquaintance.

But as long as you look at the high priest, you will notice his ice-like face, and you will find that they are not familiar with each other at all.

After hearing what Wendy said, the high priest sneered again: "It's better to go back early. If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts."

No matter how eloquent Wendy was, she could still be choked by her words when facing the high priest.

I have to say that being able to choke Wendy is considered a skill of the high priest.

Wendy just left like this, but at this moment, Zhongli, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Mr. High Priest, can we have a chat?"

After hearing his words, the high priest's eyes moved from Wendy to Zhongli, his eyes were still cold: "No."

"I just want to ask a few questions. You don't want anything to go wrong on the day of sacrifice, right?" Zhongli's tone became calmer.

If someone else said this, they might be really afraid of something going wrong.

But when it came out of Morax's mouth, it sounded like a threat.

For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere dropped to freezing point, and Wendy could even feel a cool breeze blowing.

But the high priest was not angry. Instead, he smiled. He still smiled with the same expression, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Sir, you insist on chatting. After praying tonight, I will wait for you two by the stream." .”

"Thank you."

After saying that, Wendy and Zhongli left first.

When they reached the foot of the giant tree where Wadiye's house was, Wendy gave Zhongli a thumbs-up again: "As expected of Morax, in just a few words, his momentum is extraordinary, and his energy reaches the mountains and rivers!"

"As expected of Barbatos," Zhong Li said to Wendy with a smile in his eyes, "No matter who you are, you can get to know them quickly as long as you are willing."

After saying that, both of them laughed at each other's compliment.

But soon, Zhongli's expression became serious again: "He is not an ordinary person."

Wendy also agreed with Zhongli's statement.

After all, this person is like wearing a mask, hiding his true appearance and his heart.

There are very few people who can hide their inner feelings so well in front of Wendy and Zhongli, and this high priest is one of them.

However, it is too early to draw any conclusions about him at this time. What kind of person he is and what kind of secrets are hidden under his calm appearance will have to be discussed later.
