Chapter 308 Zhang: Questioning
She looked up at the woman in red who was speaking: "Hello, I am Rhinedot."
The woman had a blank expression on her face: "The Human King wants to see you alone. Send the rest of you who have no connection to the side hall."
"Yes!" The guards saluted and then made a gesture of invitation to everyone except Rhinedot.
"Just listen and don't cause any more trouble." Rhinedot warned, then came to the woman in red.
"When you meet the King of Man, you must bow and salute. You cannot raise your head unless the King of Man tells you to. You are not allowed to ask questions. You must answer whatever the King of Man asks."
Facing the red-dressed woman's warning, Rhinedot nodded hurriedly: "I understand!"
The woman in red nodded slightly, then spoke respectfully to the people in Fengtian Hall.
"Long live the Human King, Rhinedot is here."
"Let her in."
When Rhinedot heard this question and answer, he couldn't help but think: Although the Human King only answered one sentence, judging from his voice, he should be a young man under thirty years old.
She wanted to look up, but when she thought of the warning from the woman in red, she decided not to do so.
"Golden Rhinedot, the alchemist of the Kanreya Palace, meets with King Guiliren."
Zhu Yuncheng looked at the woman who bowed to him and couldn't help but think of her experience.
Golden Rhinedort can be regarded as the most powerful alchemist in the life realm of Teyvat. He created many abyss monsters including the magic dragon Durin and the golden king beast, and was responsible for the suffering of all living beings on the continent of Teyvat.
She is also one of the five sinners who betrayed Kanreya, a member of the Seven Witches, and the creator of Albedo.
But now, Rhinedot was just a very nervous, uneasy and curious woman in front of him.
Perhaps, she had just won the title of gold not long ago, or perhaps, she was just pretending.
"Keep your head up."
Hearing this, Rhinedot couldn't wait to look up. She saw that sitting on a high seat not far away was a young man with black hair and black eyes. His eyes were deep and showed no emotion at all. He was wearing a black and gold robe.
On either side of him sat two beautiful women, one of whom had horns on her head and did not look like a human.
"You said you were from Kanreya, what country is that?" Following Zhu Yuncheng's question, Rhinedot immediately answered: "Kanreya is a place where people live underground, where the gods are watching blind spots. Our earliest ancestors relied on the earth veins for energy, developed alchemy and technology, and have multiplied little by little to this day."
The woman with horns on her head beside the Human King frowned: "How do you survive, humans living underground, without sunlight and food?"
"Everything depends on the earth veins. Underground, the earth veins act like the sun on the surface, emitting light and nourishing the cave soil, creating water sources." Rhinedot explained, "Besides us humans, there are other creatures underground, such as rockworms that like to gnaw on rock mosses. They have plump meat and are our main source of food. Rye is also our main source of food."
"Are these the only two?" The purple-haired woman beside the Human King asked in confusion, "Are these the only two kinds of food?"
Rhinedot paused and said, "These are the main ones. There are other foods as well, but because they are rare, they are basically supplied to the royal family and nobles."
"You said you developed alchemy and technology. What is alchemy?"
Seeing the Human King asking about his area of expertise, Rhinedot showed confidence on his face: "Alchemy is a technology that transforms decay into magic. Please allow me to demonstrate to the Human King. Please give me anything that I have."
Zhu Yuncheng picked up a piece of paper.
Huahua appeared, took the paper, went downstairs and handed it to Rhinedot.
Rhinedot took it with both hands and then activated alchemy.
"Sure enough, alchemy originated from the abyss." Zhu Yuncheng muttered to himself as he felt the energy fluctuations released as Rhinedort drove alchemy.
To Ganyu and Lei Diandian beside him, the paper in Rhinedort's hand emitted golden light, and then the paper turned into a sparrow.
"This is alchemy." Rhinedot looked at the vivid sparrow in his hand and raised his head, hoping to see shock on the faces of the three people above.
After all, after seeing that Guili surpassed Kanreya in technological power, the only thing he had was alchemy, which she was confident that Guili did not have.
But to her disappointment, the expressions of the three people above did not change at all.
"She's really like a little girl showing off." Zhu Yuncheng laughed in his heart, but on the surface he asked without any emotion: "This is your alchemy. Let me ask you, since you have developed Kanreya to this point, have you already known the seven elements of Teyvat and the power of aura?"
"Yes!" Rhinedot nodded. "Our researchers have not only discovered the seven elements and the power of aura, but also discovered a power from outside the world deep underground. We call it the power of creation, and it is the foundation of our alchemy."
"The power of the abyss?!" Gan Yu was shocked, and then her voice turned cold, "You, Kanriya, have come into contact with the power of the abyss?"
Rhinedot was puzzled: "The power of the abyss, does it mean the power of creation?"
"The power of the abyss has always been the biggest hidden danger for us in Teyvat. Life that is contaminated by it will become extremely violent and have the idea of destroying everything." Ying's tone also turned cold. "If you, Kanreya, really use the power of the abyss, then we will send troops to destroy your country."
"Eh?" Rhinedot was confused. Wasn't he fine just now? Why is he suddenly shouting for war and killing?
"Wait a minute, I think you misunderstood. Let me explain. The power of creation is not the power of the abyss. I......"
Before she could finish her words, she felt a pain in her neck. She looked down and saw a sword placed next to her neck. The sharp blade had cut through the skin of her neck and bright red blood was gushing out.
"If the Human King doesn't allow it, how dare you speak?" The voice of the woman in red sounded behind him.
Under the strong pressure, Rhinedort's pupils shrank to the limit, cold sweat quickly secreted, the sound of his heartbeat rang in his ears like thunder, and a kaleidoscope began to play in his mind.
Zhu Yuncheng looked at Rhinedort's frightened expression, waved his hand, and signaled Huahua to retract the sword.
Ganyu said later, "It has been more than 2,200 years since my senior brother, Miss Ying and I experienced the Demon God War. During this period of time, we have experienced more than one war in which the power of the abyss invaded Teyvat. The so-called alchemy that you just used, Miss Rhinedot, has the same energy essence as the power of the abyss."
Rhinedot was terrified and tried hard to organize his words to explain.
At this time, the Human King in the middle spoke up, "The power of the abyss will corrode people's hearts, but you are carrying the power of the abyss without being corroded. This shows that you do have a way to make your body immune to the corrosion of the power of the abyss, but this method is definitely not something you humans came up with. Rhinedot, you have been lying from the beginning. It's not that you don't have the Lord's Vision."
