Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Chapter 154: Palace of Silence

A Ru Village

Tinari stopped at the front, looked at Seno, and said seriously: "Wait a moment, I have something to say. After you leave the campsite..."

(I don’t know the specific words)

Seno crossed his arms and said calmly, "Well, the Hall of Silence does have many problems. The organization in the academy is fake. I can guess this to some extent."

Tinari asked curiously, "What is your relationship with the Temple of Silence?"

Seno nodded, "You all know that my power comes from Hermanubis, right? The Temple of Silence was built by him. I have a special physique, and when I was a child, I underwent many trials in the desert. Later, I met a teacher, who brought me back to Xumi. Looking back, those memories are very vague."

"As for the emblem on the letter, thanks to Kavi for noticing it, otherwise we might not have noticed the teacher's abnormality. I have no impression of that pattern. It's hard to say whether I have never seen it before or it is just a vague memory.

Tinari murmured, "Thank him for discovering this, and thank the Acting Sage of Elhaisen Angelica as well."

[Cole: Cole doesn’t know]

[Barbara: When did you say that? How come I didn’t know? ]

【Lisa: I know this】

[Alice: The so-called Hermanubis is the dog-headed man I mentioned before. Although it is disrespectful to say this, the meaning is the same.]

[Qiliangliang: Paimon, here is your delivery! ]

[Paimon:? ? ? 】

[Arata Ichito: Hahahahahaha, this is my birthday present, the world's strongest beetle. I like this gift very much! ]

[Paimon: Oh, yes, yesterday was my birthday]

[Ying: Hold my shoulders and prepare to teleport]

[Mona: It must be something about time...]

[Kaeya: So Seno is the treasure mentioned in the letter? ]

[Paimon: Kekeketei... What a strange thing, it feels a lot like Inazuma's thing, my eyes hurt.]

[Paimon: accelerate time, slow time, internally accelerate time, reverse time, consciousness travel, freeze, create clones, consciousness link, read memories, travel through the future, return to the past]

【Wulang: Si Gou Yi! 】

[Mona: God of Time, please accept my worship! ]

【Wendy: Mom! 】

[Paimon: Bah, you can only look at it but not use it. It can only freeze you. Who made this shoddy work?]

[Alice: This is too buggy. I’m a little scared of this thing.]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: Kavi and Alhaisen have done a great job, I feel like they can live together]

【Kavi: ….】

[Elhaisen: …He will be moving out soon]

[Paimeng: Three years and three years, don’t wait until you retire and still live together]

[Kaeya: Get married right here! The God of Wind... Ugh, the God of Grass will be the witness]

【Wendy: ??? I am the best bard】

[Kaeya: Since both of them are grass elements, there is no need for the God of Wind]

[Nashida: Uh... Is this forbidden knowledge? Or is it that my wear and tear has increased? ]

...

"But Gulesh must have recognized the pattern, otherwise he would not have deliberately concealed it. His relationship with the Hall of Silence may be greater than yours!" Paimon exclaimed.

Seno also thought so. Although the teacher never mentioned this organization on his own initiative, even when talking about Hermanubis and Possession, he only mentioned it briefly and never went into depth.

Tinari, who had been silent for a long time, said, "You should know that now that the Traveler and I have caught up with you, you can't continue to act alone, right?"

Seno nodded. It would be very difficult to get rid of them halfway. In that case, he decided to accept the reality.

"That's right! The fact is that we will go with you, so that even if something happens, we can take care of each other, so you must not abandon us!"

[Kaeya: No, he really wanted to get rid of Tinari and the Traveler]

[Kole: Saying helpless words seriously]

[Navia: How much is Mr. Seno's salary? He always treats us to meals. Is he the god in charge of treating us to meals?]

[Lisa: Basic salary + performance + commission + full attendance + nutrition fee, and a bunch of miscellaneous things. Of course, this is the salary of a high-ranking disciplinary officer, and there are also several months of vacation every year.]

[Ningguang: Xumi is indeed a big spender. The annual expenditure of the Ministry of Education is an astronomical figure.]

[Ye Lan: Since we have a monopoly on knowledge, of course we can earn more. The World Tree contains everything from Teyvat, which provides many people with job opportunities. We can’t do that, but they can, so the wages are high.]

[Mona: It makes me want to go there too. The equipment is free to use. It’s really a paradise for scholars.]

...

Seno quickly and accurately described the appearance of Gulersh and the items he might be carrying.

Guard: "The man you are talking about just passed through Aru Village not long ago. He replenished some drinking water and food here, fed the camel, and then set off again."

Seno asked, "Where did he go?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "He sat in Aru Village for a while, chatting with the person who brought water. He seemed to say... he was going to an oasis, but he didn't say which oasis. Do you have a map? I'll mark the direction he was heading and the route to the nearby oasis for you."

The guards kept marking on Tinari's map.

....

Somewhere in an oasis

There is a group of people resting in the oasis.

Tinari took the initiative to step forward and ask for information.

Paimon stroked his chin and asked curiously, "Why did Tinari say it would be better for him to come?"

Seno explained: "My background, dress and appearance are quite special to the desert people. Just in case, it would be better to let someone with a more reliable identity go."

...

Tinari's approach also attracted the attention of the people in the desert.

"Hello, I hope I didn't disturb you. My friend and I are looking for a lost elderly person. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to chat with you?"

A young man sitting on a rock heard what Tinari said and said, "Looking for someone? No problem. What do you want to ask?"

Tinari described in detail what Kyresh looked like.

"He is a white-haired old man wearing a long robe, with bright eyes and elegant temperament... and he acted alone." While listening to Tinari's description, the boy cast his gaze at Seno behind Tinari.

"That gentleman's appearance is indeed very distinctive." The boy looked at Seno and said thoughtfully. [Kaeya: Wendy? Don't think that I won't recognize you just because you changed your skin! ]

[Wendy: ....My pupils are different from his, and he is a child of the element of lightning]

[Shadow: Is this another child with the element of lightning? ]

[Paimon: He looks a lot like an old friend of mine...]

[Tinari: There is a feeling of Cole, and there is a clear stupidity in his eyes]

[Ke Lai:….]

[Xiangling: His eyes are like preserved eggs]

[Ying: His dressing style is very similar to that of Senuo... Could he be Senuo's half-brother? ]

【Sino: Maybe he and I come from the same place】

...

"Hey! Are you the senior disciplinary officer, Saino?" the young man took the initiative to greet him.

Seno nodded.

"You don't seem surprised that people know you."

“It’s not the first time I’ve encountered this.”

"You're looking for someone, right?"

Seno looked at the boy, his eyes full of caution.

"Why, are you wary of me now? No need to hide it, I know what you are suspicious of, but it seems that you came here to ask for directions, right?"

Tinari: "I thought you were just ordinary businessmen, but now it seems you are not."

Seno looked at his subordinates and said coldly, "Your subordinates may look casual, but they are actually better fighters than ordinary mercenaries."

The boy didn't intend to say any more nonsense and asked them to follow him.

Ying asked warily: "Where are you taking us?"

The boy responded: "Aren't you looking for someone? An old man in a long robe, with white hair and an elegant temperament... Hahahaha, this is the image of Gulesh in your mind."

Senor: "Do you know where Guresh is?"

"Follow me and you will see him."

...

The young man came to a stone wall and stood there like a steady mountain. He waved his arms gently, and a mysterious and powerful force emerged instantly. With the surge of this force, the Red King Technology appeared quietly here as if it was born from nothingness.

At this moment, the earth suddenly began to shake violently, as if the whole world was about to be torn apart. Paimon was frightened by this sudden change and shuddered involuntarily. She stared at the front with wide eyes, and saw a huge door slowly emerging. The door was tall and majestic, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if connected to another unknown world.

Paimon was filled with fear and curiosity. She didn't know what secrets were hidden behind the door, but she clearly felt that an unprecedented adventure was about to begin...

"Wow! What's coming out?!"

[Ningguang: Incredible, how did you do this? ]

[Ye Lan: The ability of space? ]

[Ying: A new dungeon? Impossible. I have searched all the tombs in the desert area. There is no way there is something I don’t know.]

[Kaeya: Good fellow, he turned the Red King's Mausoleum upside down just for the treasure chest]

[Paimon: We are different from those thieves. We don’t take even a single needle or thread.]

[Shikanoin Heizo: Only one stitch left? ]

[Ying: I am only interested in treasure chests, finding my brother, and women. I have no interest in Red King Technology.]

[Lisa: This should be the Temple of Silence. This boy should be from the Temple of Silence.]

[Nashida: Sesos, heir to the Temple of Silence]

[Paimon: Oh my goodness, the real boss has appeared! Seno, let's get him this morning! ]

【Sino: Let’s listen to what he says first】

...

"You, you are... No, who are you..."

"Is this the Temple of Silence? Are you from the Temple of Silence?"

The boy smiled and said that it was not time to chat yet.

After entering the ruins, an old and decayed smell hits you in the face, as if time has stopped here.

Paimon shuddered and grabbed the corner of Ying's clothes tightly. He whispered in her ear with some fear: "I'm suddenly a little scared... Gules must have been captured as well. This person... Could this person be the desert man that Uraka mentioned..."

Ying nodded silently, indicating that she agreed with Paimon's guess. Her eyes revealed a hint of vigilance, and she walked forward cautiously. Every step she took seemed extremely cautious, for fear of triggering some mechanism or causing unnecessary trouble.

...

Since he came in, a hint of irritation appeared on Seno's originally calm face, and his eyes became sharp, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

"What's wrong, Seno? Are you thinking about your teacher?" The boy noticed his change and asked.

Seno did not answer, but clenched his fists tightly and bit his lips, as if trying hard to control his inner emotions.

"You'd better not do anything you will regret." He finally spoke, his voice cold and warning.

"Indeed, I also hope that I have not done anything that would make you angry." The young man sighed helplessly.

[Barbara: What a huge underground palace! It's bigger than the entire Mondstadt! The Honor Knight said before that Xumi is empty, but I still don't believe it.]

[Alice: There are a lot of these things in the desert. I don’t dare to do experiments here because they are prone to collapse.]

[Klee: Yeah, Klee doesn’t dare either]

...

"Okay, just wait here. I will report to the leader here that you have arrived at the Temple of Silence. Please wait until he comes out."

After Shao Jian left, Paimon couldn't help but say, "He left us here and left... No one came to catch us."

Tinari: "It's no accident that these people are in the oasis. They are waiting for us. It seems that the leader really wants us to come."

Seno looked towards the Hall of Silence. There were a lot of books here, which should be the things left by the Red King.

Soon the boy came out and told them that someone would call them later.

"What's your name?" Seno asked seriously.

Hearing this question, the young man touched the back of his head awkwardly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was so happy to see you that I forgot about this. My name is Setos. I will be here, but I don't plan to answer all your questions. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself."

[Sino: Very happy? How happy?]

【Paimon: ….】

【fluorescent:….】

[Kavi: What an awkward answer. It’s not cold, but I don’t know how to say it]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: Could it be that Seno's teacher is the leader of the Temple of Silence? ]

[Yae Shenzi: From the current perspective, it is almost certain]

[Ying: Nashida, do you know the location of the Temple of Silence? ]

【Nashida: What...what happened? 】

[Ying: Today no treasure chest can leave the Temple of Silence alive! ]

[Alice: If possible, please help me look at those books. I am very interested in the Red King’s technology.]

[Great Compassionate Tree King: We don’t need to talk about forbidden knowledge]

[Ningguang: Probably not all of them. The Red King’s civilization is very advanced, so there must be some things that can be used.]
