Genshin Impact: Pool Character, Nirvana of the Demon God

As the group stepped into Kawan Post Station, their eyes were immediately drawn to the amazing natural wonder of this ancient post station—the "sand barrier" that stretched across the edge of the desert like a giant dragon.

The towering earthen mounds, layer upon layer, gleam with a bronze luster in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they were armor grown by the earth itself, silently resisting the erosion of wind and sand for thousands of years.

Just as they paused and stared, a figure quietly passed through the crowd, accompanied by a deep and clear voice that broke the silence: "...Don't stand there in a daze, come here, follow me."

His voice was clear and cold like a spring, carrying an undeniable rhythm.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elhesen standing not far ahead, his dark green robe fluttering in the breeze, his expression indifferent, but his gaze as sharp as a knife.

[Ah! Elheisen! Wife, wife!]

[Elheisen, my destined wife!]

[↑This is a man. Can't you women just call him "husband"? Why do you have to compete with us for the title of "wife"?]

[Your Hai-ge suddenly appeared.]

[Hai Ge's entrance was quite similar to Lannalo's.]

[↑Speaking of Lannaror, I immediately think of those 76 living fathers. I can only say I'm very grateful that Iya's new form can display and mark Lannaror's location on the map, otherwise I'm afraid I would have a breakdown.]

"Elhesen?" Ying's eyes widened slightly, her tone revealing surprise.

A question arose in my mind: When did he appear? No one noticed.

Before the words were even finished, the person had already turned and walked away quickly, leaving only two words drifting in the wind: "This way."

Ying, Paimon, Iya, and Nasita, who was hidden in the shadows, immediately followed.

The group wandered through the intricate alleyways of Kawan Post Station, bypassing markets piled high with pottery jars and passing tea stalls under dim lanterns.

After many twists and turns, it finally came to rest in a quiet and secluded little corner.

"What happened? Where did they go?"

"Damn it! How did I lose them? They were just on this street a moment ago..."

The cacophony of complaints grew louder as it approached.

Peeking out, they saw a group of members of the Gilded Brigade running frantically through the streets like headless flies, their eyes scanning their surroundings anxiously, clearly searching for their target.

[Damn it, there are pursuers!]

That's very cautious.

[That's the only thing that makes it seem like they're looking down on us.]

[Turns out someone was following us. Thanks, Brother Hai.]

Ying's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood—they were looking for us.

"The Gilded Brigade?" Paimon asked in a low voice, his voice filled with suspicion and uncertainty. "Who sent them this time? Could it be... we've been being followed all along?"

Iya rolled her eyes, her tone helpless: "What's so special about it? If no one was following us, did the swords and blades that chased us all this way just fall from the sky?"

Paimon stuck out his tongue, scratched his head, and a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Elhesen had concealed his figure with a huge wooden box—his tall and slender silhouette was simply too conspicuous.

He stood to the side, his voice calm to the point of being sarcastic: "You were too careless. The tracking methods of those 'tails' were extremely clumsy, their footsteps were chaotic and their auras were obvious; you should have noticed them much earlier."

Ying shrugged, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Actually, we know. But... thank you anyway, Elheisen."

This is not just polite talk.

Not to mention that Ying and Yiya's perception is far more acute than that of ordinary people, the wise goddess Naxida, who quietly lurks in the shadows, is like an invisible net covering the entire land.

If she is willing to observe, nothing in the world can hide from her. It would be truly absurd if even she could not discover her pursuers.

The reason those gilded tour groups were allowed to follow was not due to negligence, but rather part of the plan.

The original plan was to venture deeper into the desert before trying to shake them off. However, being able to shake them off in the city now saves them the trouble of the future.

After all, no matter how hard they try to track it down, all clues will eventually be completely obliterated in the vast red sand.

“No need for thanks.” Elhesen’s tone was flat and unwavering. “I have no interest in favors or obligations. I just happened to see it and corrected the mistake as I pleased—a habit I developed in the Order of the Church.”

[Erhesen helped you, quickly say thank you to Erhesen.]

This sentence is truly a golden quote.

[I suggest a head-on PvP against Ayato, who always speaks in a bureaucratic tone.]

Hai Ge wouldn't easily help someone he doesn't trust, so he cares about me!

[No, that's really what he thinks.]

He wasn't being arrogant; he genuinely felt that way.

This isn't arrogance; this is a man of extreme rationality and composure!

Once the gilded troupe had completely disappeared around the corner, the group slowly emerged from their hiding place and gathered in front of Elhesen.

"I didn't expect to run into you here, Alheisen!" Paimon stepped forward, looking at him familiarly. "You really gave me a fright just now!"

She tilted her head, then suddenly remembered something. Her tone changed abruptly, becoming a mix of wariness and amusement: "Wait... I remember when we parted ways at Port Ormus, you said you were going back to the Church House? Could it be...?"

"You've been sent by the Council of Religious Affairs to arrest us, haven't you?"

This question is not unfounded.

After all, the "divine knowledge in a jar" that Elhesen had been so eager to pursue and study had already been snatched away by Ying and taken back to the Church to be sealed away by Caesar.

If he insists on studying that forbidden object, his only way out is to return to the Church House—

His appearance at this moment inevitably sparked much speculation.

Al-Hysen remained calm and spoke in a nonchalant tone: "It seems you have had a conflict with the Council of the Church."

"Hmm... While it was unexpected, it was also within reason."

"I'm just curious, how did you end up on the opposite side of the Church while serving Caesar?"

His gaze was as cold as a sand dune under the moonlight as he continued, “Don’t worry that I’m here to arrest you—if that were the case, you would already be trapped in the Gilded Brigade’s cage, not standing here talking to me.”

These words came from the bottom of his heart, without any pretense, just like his usual style: what he thinks is what he says, without any beating around the bush.

It's not that he's ignorant of social etiquette; he simply disdains using euphemisms. On the surface, he appears aloof and arrogant, almost "tsundere," but in reality, he's pure, straightforward, and completely unpretentious.

That sense of alienation is not a pretense, but stems from an absolute loyalty to reason and truth.

"That's not necessarily true." Ying crossed her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips, a confident glint in her eyes.

“That’s right.” Iya echoed her with a confident expression.

Although they had not yet truly witnessed the extent of Elhesen's strength, their intuition told them that while he was extraordinary, he was ultimately still within the realm of the ordinary.

Both Ying and Yiya had personally witnessed the combat power at the pinnacle of humanity—a realm where immortals and gods clashed, and the world changed color.

Jun Moli slays a demon god with a single sword strike, and Li Xiao shatters an abyss with his bare hands; such power represents the true limit.

In comparison, even though Elhesen was exceptionally intelligent and talented, he was still worlds apart from that level.

That's why they felt no fear, but rather a sense of composure and confidence.

After all, their power may not be enough to rival that of immortals or demons, nor can they suppress an army of thousands single-handedly, but they have already surpassed ordinary martial artists, and their every move contains the power of thunder.

Seeing this, Paimon flew forward and whispered a word of advice:

"Can you two stop looking like you're really going to fight? The atmosphere's about to freeze!"

He then turned to Elhesen, his tone softening slightly: "As for why we fell out with the Order of the Church... it's a long story."

Elhesen raised an eyebrow slightly and replied calmly, "Then let's make it short."

Paimon then recounted the whole story—from Caesar's solitary actions to the royalists' wolfish ambitions, and finally to their current predicament.

After listening, Elhesen's eyes flickered slightly, and he muttered to himself:

"So that's how it is... Caesar used himself as bait to prevent the Doctor from participating in the battle? He traded our strongest fighter's inability to act in exchange for sealing away the enemy's strongest fighter as well?"

He chuckled lightly, with a touch of objectivity: "In my opinion, this kind of exchange is not worthwhile."

"After all, the reformers' power in the Senate was almost entirely dependent on Caesar's command. If he were to withdraw, the entire faction would be like a house with broken beams, crumbling in an instant."

"So on the surface it's a one-for-one exchange, but in reality it's to tie down Caesar and the entire reformist faction, just to get the Doctor to temporarily withdraw from the game. This move is risky and ruthless."

Ying gently shook her head, her voice low but firm:

“We all understand the principles. But there are some things that we can’t just stand by and do nothing because we understand the principles.”

She raised her head, her gaze sharp as a blade, and stared directly at Elhesen:

"Leaving that aside—have you participated in what the royalist sages call the 'project'?"

Ehrlich smiled faintly, his tone revealing the unique reserve of a scholar: "Serving as a servant to the wise is not within the scope of my research. As a true scholar, what I pursue is freedom of thought and autonomy in research."

“Compared to those lofty sages, what interests me more lately is you, or rather, all of you.” He said, his gaze fixed intently on Ying and Yiya, as if examining two ancient tomes yet to be deciphered, filled with inquiry and anticipation.

Ying frowned slightly and pressed on:

Did you come here specifically to see me?

Elhesen slowly shook his head: "Strictly speaking, that's not the case. After returning to the Council of the Church, I submitted a research application to Caesar regarding 'divine jar knowledge'."

"He approved it, on the condition that I find the source of this knowledge."

"It is said that this mysterious knowledge first flowed into Port Omos from the depths of the desert. To trace its origins, one must naturally set foot on this land of yellow sand."

He paused for a moment, his eyes as deep as the stars in the night sky, "As for my interest in you... it's because..."

Elhesen's gaze first fell on Ying: "She can master multiple elemental forces and has even fought against the gods of Inazuma."

Then the focus shifted to Iya: "In the Catechism Council's treasury, there is an ancient book that records the following passage—"

"Liyue has a phoenix, who commands the three armies and is known as the God of Slaughter, yet is actually gentle by nature and possesses the ability to bring abundant harvests. In human form, her hair is as white as snow, her eyes as fiery as fire, and her appearance is as handsome as a peerless beauty."

(Jun Bai: I accept everything before, but tell me who wrote the last sentence! I'll let him run 39 meters first!)

Hai Ge is interested in me; he has feelings for me!

"Stop talking, I'm willing!"

[Hello handsome, I'd like to ask if you'd like to marry me, thank you!]

[Holy crap, a box!]

[It's a weapon box!]

[A stunning beauty? That's quite an accurate description; Brother Bai is indeed handsome!]

[↑Especially when she transforms into Bai Jie, she's absolutely stunning! Personally, I think she has the best female character model in Genshin Impact so far!]
