Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Ir thought of himself as a reluctantly determined person.

But thinking about it...that doesn't seem to be the case.

A perfect experimental body was placed in front of her. Elle could hardly move her eyes away. She couldn't even restrain herself from reaching out her hand, so she had to give herself a knife to force herself to wake up.

If you look at it this way - let alone being strong-willed.

She is the kind of person who is caught by the disciplinary officer and can tell everything in a trembling voice after being tortured for a long time.

In the endless darkness, El was a little drowsy.

...how long has passed?

After a long silence, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

The footsteps came from far away and were not powerful. They did not sound like well-trained discipline officers. Il guessed that they might be some scholars.

But listening to that unhurried voice...

The footsteps stopped in front of her cell door.

The visitor was carrying a lamp, and this small lamp glowed faintly with an orange-red light in such a dark place.

"El." Azar's voice rang in his ears, "I value your talent very much. If I give you another chance, you can still choose to join my research now."

El thought of Tinari and Seno, so he simply refused: "No."

Azar narrowed his eyes slightly.

Being able to sit in the position of the great sage, Azar seems to be very good at reading people's hearts.

He said almost confidently: "Are you waiting for someone to save you?"

"Isn't it obvious?" El smiled back.

"Let me think about it... Is it Seno? The disciplinary officer you are friends with?"

Hearing his rhetorical question, El had a vague premonition in his heart.

The next moment I heard Azar say: "He was sent to the desert by me. Guess how long it will take for him to notice something abnormal?"

"Are you going to wait for him for a year? Two years? Or... wait until our god-making plan is completed?"

As he spoke, he laughed to himself, "That's really ridiculous."

"As for you... I'm letting you know that you've started to conduct experiments in seclusion again. This project is unprecedented, so if I don't see you for a long time, no one will doubt you."

El was stunned.

"……impossible."

She murmured: "Tinari and Xeno will find out..."

"Okay, okay..." Azar continued, "Even if you can't fool them, they found out, do you think they can save you?"

"Four sages from the six major sects of the Order Academy, including me, have all participated in the god-making plan. As for the remaining two? They have been controlled."

El's pupils narrowed suddenly.

……what?

"Seno is the Disciplinary Officer. Even if he is the strongest among all the Discipline Officers, so what?"

Azar smiled coolly.

He told her: "The responsibilities and powers of the Disciplinary Officer are given by the Order Council. Even if he finds out, he must listen to my words and follow my orders."

"I transferred him to the desert, away from Sumeru City. You see - it's so easy."

Azar sighed, his tone seemed to be pity: "El, I don't deny that you are a genius."

"But you are still too young, so what about your sharp mind? You can't understand many things at all."

El sat there blankly.

She was very reluctant to think about this, but her mind was thinking uncontrollably——

really?

Azar left.

But before leaving, he seemed to leave something behind.

El returned to a dark void, and the panic-stricken darkness enveloped her again.

She was a little scared.

Thinking of Azar's words, she suddenly realized that waiting seemed pointless, or maybe she had been locked up here for too long. She couldn't bear the darkness and emptiness, and the expectations in her heart suddenly faded a lot.

so……

Even if Azar is wrong.

Even though as a great sage, he took the lead in violating the teachings.

As long as he is the "sage" issuing orders, the Disciplinary Officer still has to obey the orders.

……is that so?

Is this really the case with Sano?

El and Sano have known each other for a long time, and she knows that he will follow the "rules" in his heart.

but……

She groped for a while and touched the item left by Azar...it seemed to be something in the shape of a triangular pyramid.

【I will follow ■■■■’s orders and make those who violate ■■■■■ pay. 】

……what is that?

El felt like his brain had been hit hard.

What order? What transgression?

His thoughts were in a trance. After thinking for a long time, a corner of El's mind suddenly felt relaxed.

like……

Someone...

Whose orders did he follow... to hunt her down for so many years?

Can not remember.

My brain hurts like hell.

This seems to be a small snapshot of desert life many, many years ago.

El suddenly felt even more flustered.

Her hand shook even more violently, and without warning, the triangular cone fell from her hand and made a "snap" sound on the ground.

El didn't pick it up.

This thing... She suddenly remembered that this was the sealed object used by scholars to seal the power of Hermanubis when she and Seno were in the Sulon sect's laboratory when she was a child.

At that time, Sano thought that the sealed object had side effects and would take away El's memory.

But now she only had a vague impression of it, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

...uncomfortable.

It was as uncomfortable as drowning.

She wanted... wanted... wanted to get out of here.

Want to get out of here.

I want to get out of here!

I want to leave here, I want to leave here, I want to leave here, I want to leave here, I want to leave here! ! !

"I don't want to be here anymore!"

El's voice was filled with trembling cry, "It's so dark, so quiet...help me..."

For a promise, El was locked up here for a long time.

She obediently followed what she promised, but now, some dark emotions in her heart seemed to be unbearable.

Xeno, Tinari...not even any of the discipline officials or scholars came.

*

Azar seems to be very good at breaking people's will.

After a period of observation, he could always accurately say the words that made El unbearable.

A period of observation was enough for him to understand what El was most afraid of.

He just told El the truth, but he also made her understand just a little bit - in fact, just a little bit was enough.

That means "you have to endure this darkness for an indefinitely long time."

"No deadline" means that there is no end in sight, which is the most frightening thing. As it happens, El is most afraid of the quiet, lonely and lifeless darkness.

Azar even arranged for someone to go to El's cell door once a day and only tell her about the current situation of Seno and Tinari.

"Seno is performing a mission in Aru Village, Tinari has cleared a dead zone, and everything is business as usual."

"Seno is patrolling, Tinari is giving medicine to the injured, everything is business as usual."

"...Business as usual."

"It's business as usual."

As the days went by, that person just talked to El about the daily life of the two people she had the most hopes for, and it already made El more and more panicked day by day.

When she heard this "business as usual", she realized that what Azar said...may be true.

Her disappearance would not be discovered.

Xeno failed to discover it, and neither did Tinari.

They were doing the same things as usual, so it was "business as usual."

……is that so?

She held the triangular cone in her hand in a daze and thought blankly:

Maybe so.

...Is there any light here?

So dark.

She didn't want to be here anymore.

Azar came again with the small orange lamp.

"You also discovered it, right?" He said, "So what if you only abide by the agreement between you two?"

"They didn't even notice you were gone, but can you stay here any longer? You can't move your hands, El?"

"You should know it yourself - if you don't receive treatment, your most important hand as a researcher will be completely useless."

The golden eyes were dim.

El looked up at him very slowly.

Azar asked: "What do you think about creating gods?"

El thought for a moment.

She thought of the devil's blessing that she had received long ago, so she spoke with great difficulty:

"Throw aside ethics...if you have the power of the devil...maybe...it won't be difficult."

The hoarse voice was intermittent, and El was so weak that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Looking at the bright and warm light emitted by the small orange-red lamp, she felt a sad peace in her heart.

Azar smiled.

"I appreciate your knowledge and interest, and welcome to join this grand plan, Researcher Il."

The cell door was opened by Azar himself with a key.

El didn't speak and didn't have the strength to move.

She was still sitting in the corner, staring at the small lamp.

After a long while, she asked: "I can go out, right?"

"Of course, you will become one of the most indispensable researchers in the god-making project, El."
