Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

El is a genius, there's no doubt about it.

She will remain a million times more focused and passionate about the things she's curious about, and that focus can't be reduced until she loses interest.

Not long after she entered the Order Academy in the same year as Tinari and Senno, El's name gradually became famous. In the eyes of everyone, she was a "scholar" in the true sense who was not understood.

——Although this scholar has not graduated yet.

But in Xumi, who has a fanatical worship of knowledge, El is already dazzling enough.

"El, I have a dinner date with Seno tonight, do you want to come with me?" Tinari knocked on the door of El's laboratory, and the girl who was hunched over the desk writing experiment records raised her gray head.

Puzzle flashed in his gilded eyes: "Tinari, didn't you tell me that I won't have dinner?"

El looked at the things on the experimental table, then looked at the experimental records at hand, and said, "I can't spare any time now."

"It's okay, we don't plan to eat now. Can you do it in an hour?" Tinari was a little tired. "It's better to have three meals regularly."

El thought for a while and reluctantly said: "...That's okay."

"Okay." Tinari smiled, "I'll see you in an hour. El, don't be too tired. You still have a lot of time. Research is not rushed."

"...I know." He felt a little guilty.

She didn't actually want to rush.

El was just curious.

Just like his thirst for power many years ago, El is still curious about the "unknown".

This is an inevitable human psychology. I think it's normal.

She only needs to curb her excessive curiosity, but she cannot curb her progress.

this is normal.

As long as you don't become curious about "power", you won't incur irreversible consequences...

With this in mind, after confirming that Tinari had left, El took a few steps slowly and walked to an inconspicuous table nearby.

Then he squatted down, lifted the tablecloth, and pulled out a heavy box from under the table.

The box was made of waterproof material, and there was something soaked in an unknown green liquid inside. El put on his gloves and took out the thing with great difficulty——

...That is a mushroom beast that still has one breath left.

The mushroom beast was very big, and as a weak academic in the worldly sense, Il did not have enough strength to lift it easily.

Its umbrella-shaped head was already bloody and bloody, but Il didn't mind at all. He stopped to rest twice after a short distance, and finally placed it on the experimental table.

After fiddling with it for a while, she smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that the mercenary entrusted this time has a good sense of proportion and can cooperate for a long time."

Then she picked up the knife.

——If the body tissue of a mushroom with a rock attribute was replaced with a fire attribute, would it live or die?

Although her parents said that such research was of little significance, El knew better than anyone that her research was never about finding "meaning" and "value."

Again, she was just curious.

After Dundun peach and Sunset fruit, as well as many other plants after that, Il finally operated on some "non-plants".

For people who don't have the Eye of God, mushroom beasts are dangerous monsters, and no one will say anything when she does research on mushroom beasts.

Although the Order strictly prohibited bringing monsters into the city, this mushroom beast only had one breath left.

——It’s okay, right?

It doesn't matter.

El skillfully sliced ​​the mushroom into several pieces.

Half an hour later.

"Ah, failed." She looked at the miserable death of the mushroom with some regret. After it breathed its last breath, the experimental slices disappeared along with its body.

In the end, only a few sclerotia and spores were left in place.

El said "tsk", "If I had known, I should have paid attention to its physical condition at all times."

But this is also an important reason why El's experiment with monsters has not been discovered by Tinari for so long - as long as the experimental subject is killed, it will disappear completely.

It's just that there are two large boxes of sclerotia, spores and other things in El's house. She puts them under the bed, planning to throw them away when they can no longer be piled up.

Speaking of which...will anyone take this after selling it?

This thought made El's heart flutter for a moment, and then she came to her senses: "No one should want it, and it's of no use."

Let's find a chance to deal with it.

El wasted a mushroom beast, then took a look at the time and realized that it was not early, so he packed up casually and went to find Tinari and Seno.

When she arrived at the tavern, the two of them were already sitting at the table.

"I just saw that Tinari came alone. I thought you wouldn't come, El." Seno looked at her and suddenly asked: "Guess what I just ate."

El: "No guess."

Sai Nuo then said: "Well, I guess you won't guess, so I'd better tell you directly..."

Tinari on the side covered her face, already knowing what he was going to say next.

"I was the first to arrive. I ordered a steamed bun because I was too hungry. As I ate it, I felt sad. Do you know why?"

"I do not want to know."

Sainuo said firmly: "No, you want to."

El: "..."

Tinari: "...Hurry up and end it."

"Okay, I think." El immediately changed his mind, "Hurry up and say it."

"Because that steamed bun is 'so lonely (steamed bun)'." Sai Nuo looked at her with burning eyes, a pair of red eyes shining slightly, and his tone was a little complacent, "How about it, is this a good joke?"

El: "..."

"All I can say is that this joke is as good as yours as always."

Seno: "Do you like it?"

El: "But I won't be your confidant."

"Serno, after all these years...haven't you noticed? This is not about the content of the joke at all, but that I don't like hearing jokes at all."

El shrugged, "I'm still more interested in research."

She has always maintained a "don't understand, but respect" attitude towards Sano's hobbies, but that doesn't mean she also likes them.

Whether it is a cold joke or a summons from the Seven Saints, for El, they are all life changes that are not worthy of curiosity.

Sano paused slightly and explained seriously: "But sometimes, listening to some jokes can help relax your mind and body. When you are too stressed about your research, you can come to me and listen to jokes."

"No, I don't think so - ah, the meal I ordered is ready." She took a spoonful of rose milk paste and put it into her mouth, tasting it while eating, "The taste is too sweet, but the texture is okay."

Tinari looked at her disapprovingly.

"El, how can we only have dessert for dinner?"

The gray-haired girl blinked, and her gilded eyes looked at Tinari for a moment, accurately pinpointing her brother's soft spot, and said, "It's okay to be willful a few times now and then, right?"

Tinari met those eyes, but couldn't say the word "no" she wanted to say.

He realized his hesitation. After a while, Tinari sighed: "Then let's pack some other food and go home. You will have something to eat if you are hungry at night."

El smiled: "Okay, thank you for mentioning~"

"I want to call you brother..."

"Thank you Tinari~"

Tinari: "...That's all."

At the end of a pleasant dinner, Ir thought that the day would end as usual, but before leaving, Sano suddenly stopped them.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. You must pay attention. There may be a mad scholar hiding in Xumi City."

As soon as these words came out, the brother and sister both stopped in their tracks.

"……real or fake?"

Sai Nuo's expression became serious, "I heard from Teacher Gulesh that something happened in Xumi City this morning."

"The Disciplinary Officer intercepted many injured monsters from a group of disguised mercenaries, most of which were various kinds of mushrooms."

Where Tinari didn't notice, El stiffened for a moment.

Tinari was surprised: "An injured monster?"

"Yes, there are a lot of monsters, mostly mushrooms of various elements. Although the monsters are all injured, there are still hidden dangers when they are brought into the city. You should pay more attention."

"Teacher Gulesh guessed that there might be some crazy scholar doing secret research in the city, and it would be terrible if one of those monsters accidentally comes out and hurts people."

Tinari suddenly looked serious. He held his sister's hand, nodded and said, "We understand. Thank you for telling us the news, Seno."

Sensing her sister's stiffness, Tinari thought she was frightened, and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, El, don't be afraid, I will stay with you during this period of time."

She said nothing, just forced a smile.

"...That, that's...great."

——It’s finished.

She retracted her preamble. Although the mercenaries this time had a good sense of timing, their disguise was too poor.

It is better not to cooperate for a long time.

El was not doing forbidden research, and she was not doing any harm. She was just secretly dissecting a few monsters.

--small theater--

IL: What? Is there a madman in town? !

After listening.
