Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"Moreover, these beasts seem to possess some kind of elemental power, which makes us very confused. We don't know where they come from, nor do we know why they suddenly appear near Mondstadt," Qin continued.

"Hey, acting captain, how come I don't know about this?" Kaiya interrupted, his voice carrying a hint of surprise, and it was obvious that he was not aware of the matter.

Qin glanced at him and explained, "This situation has only occurred in the past few days, and you just came back from a mission in the wild, so I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Kaiya curled his lips when he heard this and didn't say anything more.

"Elemental power...beast..." Su Xun frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.

At first he thought that the coachman might have encountered a special mutated beast that could master elemental power.

But now through Qin's explanation, he realized that there were far more than just that one example.

In this case, are those beasts controlled by some mysterious force? Or is it the work of the Abyss Cult?

"Captain Qin, are there any corpses of those wild beasts? If so, can you take me to see them? Maybe I can find some clues." Su Xun said.

Captain Qin nodded and said, "Yes, come with me."

So Su Xun and his friends followed Qin and left the tavern.

Wendy seemed to be hesitant to speak when she saw this. Qin seemed not to have noticed him, the God of Wind, so she didn't say hello to him. However, this was not an important matter, so Wendy didn't care much.

What he cared about was that Su Xun seemed to have forgotten to explain to him the issue of the authority of time...

Wendy sighed helplessly, but did not follow them. Instead, he continued to sit and drink. After all, the Knights had business to do, and it was not appropriate for him, an "outsider", to watch from the sidelines.

Forget it, I'll ask him when he's free.

Su Xun, Qin and his party arrived at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

There they saw the bodies of several killed wild animals.

The bodies of these beasts have been dissected, with their internal organs and bones displayed, making it impossible to recognize their original appearance.

Su Xun observed these corpses carefully and found that their body structures were somewhat different from those of ordinary wild beasts, as if they had undergone some kind of transformation.

"The body structure of these beasts is very strange. Their bones and muscles are much stronger than those of ordinary beasts, and their internal organs also have some special changes." Su Xun said.

Qin: "Well, the body structure of these beasts is indeed very special. We have also discovered this, but we don't know how they became like this."

"Um, Qin, didn't you find Sucrose or Albedo to do some research?" Su Xun asked Qin.

Sucrose and Albedo are both experts in alchemy and have profound attainments in biological alchemy. They can definitely provide some useful information.

Captain Qin nodded slightly, "We have contacted them, and they should be here soon. We believe that the abnormal behavior of these beasts may be related to alchemy, so we need their expertise to help us investigate."

Su Xun nodded, and continued to observe the corpses of the beasts, trying to find some clues using the alchemy knowledge he had mastered.

Seeing that Su Xun was so focused, Captain Qin did not disturb him, but stood quietly by and waited.

She knew that Su Xun had studied alchemy with Albedo for a period of time, and she heard Albedo and Sucrose praise Su Xun, saying that he seemed to be very talented in this area.

Although Qin didn't know what Su Xun's current level of alchemy was, she hoped that he could discover some details that they had not noticed.

After a while, Sucrose and Albedo arrived at the scene.

As soon as Sucrose saw the corpses of the beasts, her eyes immediately lit up and she showed an excited expression, while Albedo was as calm as ever.

"Captain Qin, are these the strange beasts that have appeared recently?" Sugar asked impatiently.

Sugar's favorite thing to do is to study some strange creatures. Since she has the opportunity this time, she will naturally not let it go.

"Yes, Sucrose, we need your and Albedo's help to study the abnormalities of these beasts." Captain Jean said.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Sugar nodded excitedly and started researching immediately.

Albedo walked silently to a corpse and observed it carefully.

Seeing this, Su Xun also joined their research.

All three were experts in alchemy and soon discovered some key clues.

"There are some strange alchemical runes in the bodies of these beasts, which should be used to strengthen the beasts' bodies and elemental powers." Su Xun said, pointing to the internal organs of a corpse.

"That's right. The structure of these runes is very complex. It's not something that an ordinary alchemist can carve out." Albedo also agreed.

"So, the abnormal conditions of these beasts are indeed man-made?" Captain Qin frowned.

"That's possible." Albedo nodded, "However, the structure of these runes is very special, not like the style of the Abyss Cult."

His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.

The alchemy of the Abyss Cult and his alchemy have the same origin, both originated from his teacher Rhinedort, so he could naturally tell that this was not the method of the Abyss Cult.

"Who could it be?" asked Captain Qin.

"I don't know either." Albedo shook his head. "The structure of these runes is very complex. It is not something that ordinary alchemists can carve out. Perhaps, we can start from this direction and investigate the origin of these runes."

"Okay, we'll send someone to investigate." Qin frowned, then nodded. Since Albedo emphasized it for the second time, let's focus on this clue.

Just then, a knight rushed in and reported an important news to Captain Qin.

"Acting Captain, we found some suspicious footprints outside the city. They seem to lead to an abandoned mine."

"Abandoned mine?" The leader of the Qin group frowned. "It has been abandoned for many years. Normally, no one goes there. How could there be suspicious footprints?"

"Um, I don't know either, but Mr. Acting Captain, those footprints are very new and should have been left recently." The knight scratched his head awkwardly.

"Okay, I got it." Captain Qin made a decision immediately. "Su Xun, you, Sucrose, and Albedo will come with me to investigate the mines. Kaeya will organize the Knights to strengthen the city's defenses to prevent the beasts from attacking again."

"Well... okay." Kaiya wanted to say that he wanted to go too, but after hesitating for a while, he nodded.

So, Captain Qin immediately set off with Su Xun, Sucrose and Albedo to investigate the abandoned mine, and Shen He naturally followed.
