Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Hermanubis discovered something terrible.

"Immortal" doesn't exactly mean safe.

What the passage of time has not taken away, darkness has taken away.

El looked like she was going crazy.

……crazy?

Why are you crazy?

He still couldn't figure out why it was a problem that could be solved by imitating the devil and sleeping forever, so why did it make her go crazy?

He began to visit her every day, hoping to get some answers from his accumulated observations.

But obviously, he has become the most hateful enemy in El's eyes, and she is unwilling to get along with him again no matter what.

The door opened, and she reached out to touch the dim light that came in.

When she saw him, she began to hit him hard with taunts filled with hatred and only a few words over and over again.

It's a pity that Hermanubis has never been in mood.

El couldn't get any clues from his facial expression.

"I want you to die." El looked at him for a long time. After calming down, he suddenly revealed another smile.

The golden eyes became vivid again because of hatred, but they looked like a madman at the end of his rope, a fool struggling to survive, or a lost soul.

She looked like she was dying.

Not physical death, but spiritual death.

"Why don't you fall asleep?" Hermanubis couldn't hold back and finally asked.

...sleep?

She twitched her lips.

"Do you know my life experience?" She thought for a moment, "You don't understand ordinary people at all, right?"

At this time, she could admit frankly: "Those people in my village all want me to be a sacrifice."

"I couldn't sleep all night long. It was such a nightmare when I closed my eyes."

El smiled, but his voice trembled slightly.

"Then - bang."

"Those people want to be my nightmare, so I keep giving them, ah - what are they doing in my dreams over and over again? Oh yes, instilling residue."

El counted on his fingers: "Those people in Mavis must die, an old gambler, a lecher, and... the old gambler's child?"

"It doesn't matter who it is - I'll kill them all anyway~"

Hermanubis looked at her for a long time.

"What is your purpose?" he asked.

What was her purpose in angering him with such poor language?

El looked surprised and moved to the cell door in a few steps, looking at him expectantly.

It was the first time in such a long time that he saw El being so kind to him. Hermanubis was in a daze for a moment, and his thoughts stopped.

But the next second, Il broke his impression with one sentence.

"I have said so much, are you finally angry?" El blinked his golden eyes, "Then you want to kill me? Hermanubis, aren't you always praised for your wisdom by those desert idiots? Use your brain to think of a solution..."

"How can you kill me?"

"you……"

El, who once hoped to let him live, now actually said...she wanted to die.

why?

He didn't respond for a long time, and an uncontrollable shock arose in his heart.

Ella lowered her eyelashes in boredom.

"Tch, you look really boring, just like in real life."

--in reality?

Keenly noticing the different words, Hermanubis looked at her.

El leaned against the wall and murmured to himself, no longer paying attention to him.

"Too slow. Why haven't you woke up from this dream?"

Dream?

But this is clearly reality.

"No...it's better not to end it." She shook her head violently and turned to look at him, "It's not as good as here. Although I saw an eyesore, at least the sun is good."

warm.

This dream is quite real.

Hermanubis had mixed feelings.

——She can no longer distinguish between reality and dreams.

He wants to overturn his previous conclusion.

El is afraid of the dark.

Because... after being locked up for too long, will humans become lonely?

But she was notorious and the crimes she had committed prevented him from letting her out.

Hermanubis didn't know any way to kill El. The "Devil's Blessing" on her body turned into a terrible curse.

He was forced to endure the darkness and loneliness, and eventually went crazy and was unable to die.

Hermanubis didn't need to care about this, but he made a decision subconsciously.

——What method should be used to bring her back to a normal state?

How to calm a madman, coincidentally, Hermanubis also had some experience.

To seize what the madman is most obsessed with.

Before it was "strength", now it is "light".

Maybe he should open the cell door, let the sun's light shine through, let her see it, let her touch it, and finally calm down.

But he couldn't let El escape.

So Hermanubis quickly decided to visit her every morning.

At that time, the early morning sunlight would shine directly in from the outside of the cell door.

He really did this, and then he was unstoppable and unstoppable.

El still refused to see him.

She retorted to him, mocking him for having nothing to do, fearing that he was no longer respected by the Red King.

Cursing him to death as always.

But no matter what, her spirit has obviously recovered a lot.

Hermanubis did not appear again.

He realized that his method worked, so he wanted to open the prison door often, but El didn't want to see him, so he thought -

Just find a reason.

After that day, Lord Hermanubis, the priest under the Red Throne, stood on a high platform that the desert people could not reach in their lifetime, and announced the existence of the former tyrant.

Hermanubis never went to the cell again, but there were more "visitors" in the cell.

Those who were killed by the out-of-control power in front of the Red King always had relatives and friends.

El sat in the middle of the cell, in the place closest to the sun, waiting for the door to open and close again and again, listening to the insults that never hurt her.

This was the second thing Hermanubis did wrong.

He forgot that ordinary people always have terrible bad qualities in their genes.

El saw the sun.

However, in front of a person with absolutely no hope, she showed what she desperately wanted, but that thing was forever separated from her by Hermanubis, who could not let her go...

Wouldn't a desperate madman really have more pessimistic or extreme thoughts?

Show the magnificent mountains that you have walked in front of people with missing legs; tell the blind people how charming the scene of snow-covered mountains and blooming spring flowers is; tell a dying person that you have understood the meaning of life; in eternity In front of El, who cannot be forgiven, let her get a little bit of sunshine.

...The longing in the heart will only turn into a prairie fire of despair.

Il recognized this fact.

The bad nature in human genes is nothing more than this: if you don’t get it, you want it, and if you get it, you want more.

She wants sunlight when it's dark.

After getting the sunshine, I want to leave again.

I want to bathe in the warm sunshine wholeheartedly, I want to leave here, I want to get in touch with more.

But no.

Hermanubis would not let her go.

She gained the power blessed by the devil and killed many people, even assassinating the Red King.

Although I had made sufficient preparations using the Kanria books and knowledge given by my friends, it was still not enough.

There is indeed an unbridgeable gap between human gods. Il hates it terribly, but there is nothing I can do.

So when Hermanubis reacted, she had already killed the guard who was unaware of it, took the key, and stood in the sun on the desert.

The sun shone on her face, and her gilded eyes seemed to have regained their vivid color.

She had never looked so content.

Hermanubis thought so, but tightened his grip on the spear in his hand.

- But she kills again.
