Chapter three hundred and forty-eight control of the mind
Qingxupu, within the ancient ruins.
After gaining the trust of the dark priest named Migal, Dyne took off all his defenses to show his feedback for his trust.
Later, he passed some information on Teyvat that was not secret but that few people knew to him in the form of intelligence. As for the "compatriots" he recognized, Migal naturally believed this information without reservation, and even
Exchanged what they knew.

For example, in Rice Wife more than ten years ago, Migal had already begun to lay out the plan. His strategy covered such a wide area that even Dain could not help but look at him frequently.
This priest is very smart. He chooses locations that are sparsely populated and have relatively rugged terrain. For example, the Kannazuka area to the south of Inazuma. Except for adventurers and some scholars who are not afraid of death, there are almost no people here.
Come.
What is he doing here?
It is very simple to say and can be understood at a glance.
——Plant trees.
Of course, it was not just about planting trees. What he did was to plant a tree called [Okamu].
Moreover, the medium he uses when growing this kind of thing is also very different from normal things.
In terms of common rationality in the world, people need soil and fertilizer to plant trees. Some scholars from the Xumi Order may be able to use soilless technology for cultivation, but more or less, the media they use is a [
Things that are still].
The medium used by Migal is a living person.
Yes, he used human corpses to grow trees.
In his opinion, the human beings on the continent of Teyvat themselves have very high "nutritional value" because these people grew up bathed in the elements and were in contact with various elemental forces throughout their lives.
There are many people among them whose bodies have become stronger due to years of exposure to elements, and this kind of person is the target of Migal's hunting.
Of course, the value of a person with the Eye of God will be greater, but such a person must plan carefully even if he wants to hunt.
To this day, he has successfully killed only a handful of Eye of God holders.
In addition to the necessary media, if you want to grow the kind of [Oka wood] that Migal desires, you also need something, a special [dye].
There have been strange rumors circulating in the Kannazuka area all year round, and many passing merchants or adventurers have witnessed terrifying evil spirits wandering around.
This kind of creature has some intelligence, and some of the stronger ones even possess some human memories. Their existence undoubtedly affects all pedestrians and merchants on this road.
The shogunate once sent troops to encircle and suppress it, but due to the insufficient number of onmyoji specializing in souls in the team, no constructive results were achieved in the end.
Until recent years, this phenomenon has suddenly become less common.
To put it more intuitively, some merchants who were transporting precious cargo hired a large number of Onmyoji to escort them, but they walked cautiously and didn't see even a ghost's hair.
And this situation was not accidental. After that, many businessmen and adventurers rarely saw traces of ghosts here. Even if they did see ghosts sometimes, they were not the terrifying evil ghosts as rumored before.
For Inazuma's merchants and adventurers, this may be a good thing, but in fact, it just represents another step forward in Migal's plan.
——Yes, the fertilizer used to irrigate the trees is these ghosts with resentment.
The body of a powerful human provides a strong shell for the young sapling, and what makes up its inner core is the [resentment] accumulated over the years.
Only this product of the fusion of body and soul can truly possess powerful power.
Although for a small sapling, hundreds of lives will be wasted.
For Migal, who serves as a priest in the dark world, this is not something difficult to accept. The death of human beings cannot even bring about the slightest fluctuation in his state of mind - maybe there are still fluctuations, when another experiment
After failure, even he will feel angry.
After experiencing hundreds of failures, Migal understood that he needed a powerful human body and the soul of a century-old evil ghost. He needed to make a desperate effort to create a [Mother Tree].
The century-old evil spirit is easy to deal with. There is one in the Kannazhong area. Migal is good at dealing with this kind of thing. As long as he is given time, he can catch the evil spirit.
But it is difficult to solve the problem for the strongest human beings...
The holder of the Eye of God alone is a bit difficult for him to deal with, and the most powerful person with the Eye of God is even more difficult for him to defeat.
So, he began to wait.
Until one day, a God-given opportunity appeared in front of him.
A former Inazuma shogun fled the shogunate due to the Eye Hunting Order. After being chased all the way, he was already scarred when he fled to the Kannazuka area.
This general is very powerful. He is the kind of being that Migal cannot defeat even if he sets up a dragnet. However, because of this eye hunting order, he took the initiative to come here.
And still in a scarred posture.
Facing this human being, Migal was not dazzled by joy. He cautiously began to close the net step by step, and finally took the last step to kill him personally. Even so, the general's temporary counterattack still brought a lot of damage to his origin.
suffered damage.
But this is not important. He has now obtained the body of the strongest human being and a century-old evil ghost full of resentment. When he successfully cultivates Okamu's [Mother Tree], his injuries will be healed.
——He succeeded, and it was a success beyond his imagination.
The [Mother Tree] he cultivated even exceeded his original expectations. Even the branches broken off from it can possess a considerable degree of [devouring] power.
That's right, [Swallow], this is the fundamental reason why he cultivated this special tree species.
Migal himself is a person from another world. After he came to Teyvat, he was naturally restricted by certain laws, and he seemed to be covered with a layer of shackles.
If this shackles is not broken, he will always be a mouse on Teyvat who can only run away.
There are many ways to unlock the shackles, and he has now mastered one of them.
[Swallow] A large number of humans have fundamentally converted their breath into the breath of the indigenous people on the Teyvat continent, so that they can avoid the control of the law.
It's a pity that his plan failed before it officially started.
Specifically, his research results were [taken] away...
The person who took away the [Mother Tree] wore a mask and had an elegant posture, but his attacks were ruthless, and every blow seemed to destroy Migal's soul.
Frankly speaking, the only thing Migal could do in front of that person was to escape, or at most cut off part of the trunk of the [Mother Tree].
He didn't know who that being was, but he heard the name in the words of the men who followed him.
