Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

If they openly experimented on these people, they would eventually be discovered, so they secretly "cleaned" people behind the backs of the disciplinary officials.

However, a hidden piece of information can also be gleaned from this: the timing.

The 'washing' is a recent event; previously, the Church of Christ completely ignored these mad scholars.

Why? Because the eccentric scholars of the past were useless, so why are they useful now?

That depends on what changes have occurred in Sumeru recently. That's right—the Doctor has arrived.

If it weren't for the 'new demands' brought about by the doctor, why would the Order of the Church suddenly become interested in this group of outcasts?

The information in these inferences is rather subtle, and not everyone can analyze it, but quite a few people have still managed to glean the meaning.

For example, characters like Xiaolu are quite good at reasoning, while characters like Xinhai and Ayato are good at analysis.

Besides that, Diluc also figured it out. He didn't understand much else, but he understood the Fools.

Do we still need to analyze and reason? Diluc figured it out when he saw the Doctor.

[Sino: "...It's the Order of the Church again."]

This illegal act of "washing people" naturally had to be done away with him, the disciplinary officer, so Seno was completely unaware of it.

The traveler said, "In Sumeru City, Setare also mentioned... 'The news of the Red King's resurrection was spread by the Church Council.'"

The reader was stunned. "No way? Traveler, are you only revealing this now?"

Isn't this a bit too slow? Even if you don't say anything, everyone has already figured it out.

"...Just as I thought," said Desia.

See? I knew it! She already guessed it before she said it!

Readers feel that Ying should indeed learn a thing or two from Raiden, and it wouldn't hurt to occasionally act as an information leaker. Why is the Traveler so tight-lipped?

It has to be said that Yingmei is very tight-lipped; if it's something she's agreed not to say, she really won't.

Paimon is different; she's very loose-lipped and might leak information without even realizing it.

For example, during the Lantern Festival, everyone acted like that; if it were someone else, they would have wanted to confront the situation and see "rivers of blood."

Paimon almost forgot to act and blurted out something without realizing it, and it was Yingmei who reminded him.

Then look at the Traveler; she simply won't say a word. Her mouth is tighter than the entire Raiden family combined, since the tightest-lipped member of the Raiden family in the story's timeline is already dead.

Yingmei is practically a Pixiu, sucking in information and never spitting it out. Luckily, there's someone next to her with a more relaxed mouth who makes up for this.

You're very tight-lipped, but Paimon, who's always by your side, makes up for that.

But thinking about it this way, if the Traveler is a mouth that only takes in and never gives out, then Paimon must be responsible for what goes out...

Ahem, let's not delve too deeply into this topic. Let's get back to the story.

The discussion among the group ended. Although they didn't know where the 'village guardian' had been taken or what the purpose of the Order of the Church was, they had at least gained some insights and direction.

After the discussion, Desia and Candice had a conversation that revealed some of Desia's tendency to make fun of herself.

They were discussing the village guardians, and Dixia noticed Candice's concern and showed her concern.

Candice responded: "To me, these people are important companions, members of our village."

[Dishia laughed and remarked, "You really have a strong sense of belonging here. I'm not like that at all; mercenaries are like stray dogs wherever they go."]

She was making fun of herself again, but in reality, Dixia also wanted a place to belong.

She had a home before, but for some reason, she made up her mind not to go back.

Candice, with her high emotional intelligence, noticed this and offered words of comfort:

"Dishia, don't say that. You can be one of us too."

These words were like a light shining in a dark room, or a discerning eye recognizing a horse's worth; they struck a chord with Desia.

Dixia actually craves this sense of recognition; in a sense, she is somewhat similar to Yura.

Perhaps it is because of this similarity that Yura can always instantly understand what Dixia wants to hear when she sees Dixia making self-deprecating jokes.

The reason she understands her so well is because Amber said those things to her; that's what a true little sun is.

If the two of them met, Yura would have a lot to say to Dixia, and they would probably become very good friends.

Character Voice Lines - Skirmisher: About the Information Leak

"Me? Hmph, I just don't care about this kind of information leak. What difference does it make if they find out?"

Chapter 592 Xia Ni, The Taste of Lying

Putting aside the matter of Desia, there is another question that readers are quite curious about: Where did Elhesen go?

I haven't seen him since we parted ways. He wasn't even there when we were analyzing and discussing things together just now. Is he disliked so no one is calling him?

Elhesen was not disliked; the traveler had just left the village chief's house when he found Elhesen sitting outside reading a book.

The thought of Hai Ge eavesdropping on the analysis being conducted by the people inside while lying on the wall makes readers want to laugh.

Although we know it's probably impossible, who cares? We didn't see what actually happened, so let's just assume that's how it is.

Paimon said, "It's been so long since you've shown up, and now you're suddenly using your brain here? That's really strange! Where have you been all this time?"

[Erhesen remained silent: "..."]

Paimon complained, "Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"

[Erhesen replied, "You seem to never think before you ask questions. I'm giving you time to make up for it."]

Elhesen never left Aru Village, so where else could he have gone? He must have been investigating in Aru Village. Therefore, it's true that he was right to say that Paimon asked questions without thinking.

But to be honest, I'm being too harsh on Paimon. She's never been to school, so what can she possibly think about? It's good enough that she can even ask questions.

Readers who saw this sentence were actually somewhat smitten with Elhesen.

How should I put it? When this man said those words, he clearly had a sense of distance that kept people at arm's length, but instead of making people feel disgusted, he was quite charming.

The reason is, as mentioned before, that he really has the looks to pull off the act, so people just think he's handsome and don't find him pretentious.

Moreover, Elhesen's quote is considered a famous saying, but Ayato doesn't agree with it.

For a 'political strategist', seemingly pointless questions are also important; one might be able to extract something useful from them.

But Ehrlich is a scholar, not a politician; he has no interest in talking nonsense.

Unlike intelligent people who have their own subjective thoughts, Paimon, whether in real life or in the story, only gets annoyed because she is not intelligent.

"You...! Ugh, I'm so angry! I'm going to give him an awful nickname!"

That's what Paimon said in the story, but the real Paimon was much more docile, only daring to complain secretly in the traveler's ear, not daring to let Elhesen hear it.

Although she thought of a nickname in the story, she unfortunately couldn't come up with one in the end because Elhesen didn't have any distinctive features.

This left Wendy scratching her head. So, I have a nickname because my defining characteristic is that I'm a 'singer'? She was both amused and exasperated.

Regardless, it's clear from the story that Paimon got angry but didn't retaliate; she chose to be resentful rather than humiliated.

If you ask me, calling Elhesen "King of Sumeru B" would be perfect.

If you think that's uncivilized, there are other examples, such as "cold-faced little gray hair".

Okay, enough joking around, Elhesen is telling us to get back to the point.

[Elhesen: "Getting back to the point. You plan to leave Aru Village to continue your pursuit of the truth, is that right?"]

In fact, Elhesen came to 'stop' the travelers and others from leaving the village to investigate.

The reason was that he found other clues in the village, namely, information about the girl 'Shani' who had lied before.

[Erhesen: "I'll introduce you to someone later. But first, you need to understand their position."]

[Aierhesen asked, "What do you think the people of Aru village think about what we are doing?"]

In other words, do you believe that all the information you've gathered is true?

Lee Sin, you've found a treasure!

No, it's Watson, you've spotted the blind spot!

For the people of Aru village, travelers are true outsiders, and Aru village is not exactly 'hospitable Mondstadt'. Will the villagers really be open and honest with everything they know?

No, they're already being friendly and harmonious if they don't touch each other's heads.

In fact, most villagers did not deceive travelers, because they genuinely knew nothing.

But one of them knew something, but she didn't say it because:

[Erhesen: "Because...for someone who wants to live a peaceful life, any external factor can be a variable."]

This statement echoes Candice's sentiment: 'Even though it's tough and exhausting, we want to maintain our current life.'

These are Candice's exact words, and also the thoughts of most people in Arru village.

Who can be sure what unpredictable changes giving travelers this information will bring to their lives?

The vast majority of people are neither radicals nor conservatives; they just want to live their lives. That's why Jebari's wife was furious when she found out that Jebari had 'joined' the radicals.

It's normal to conceal things in this situation.

Fortunately, Ehrlich was an epistemological genius and was very sensitive to matters of language and writing.

Her sensitivity is comparable to a traveler's "yellow-eyed shiver," a sensitivity so intense that even a breath on her ear can send shivers down her spine.

Others didn't see the problem with Shani's words, but Elhesen did.

He noticed that Shani was afraid of Seno's power and status, and also noticed the contradiction in her claim that she went to bed early but witnessed what happened late at night.

As expected of a linguist, he analyzed a great deal of information from just a few simple sentences.

Since Shani knows some information, it's natural to ask her about it.

However, Shani remained vigilant, and she would only reveal the information she knew after the traveler had at least proven his stance.

What stance? The traveler and Paimon were somewhat bewildered. We even have a stance?

Isn't it precisely because we lack a stance that we became the best tool in the previous countries, I mean the best sixth man?

What stance do we need now? Would saying "Hail Hydra" be acceptable?

It's not that serious. Shani just wanted to ask the traveler a few questions to confirm something.

[Shani: "Do you think... the resurrection of the Crimson King can really bring about a turning point for Sumeru?"]

"Traveler, do you think our life in Sumeru will improve?"

These words were addressed to the 'traveler,' but when they appeared in the prophecy book, it seemed to extend beyond the traveler; she was addressing 'everyone.'

Shani's concerns are understandable. The current Council of the Church is indeed a pile of crap, but who can guarantee that the next ruler will be a good person?

Ordinary people don't understand Little Grass God, and they don't even know who will have the last laugh.

What if it were the radical faction in the desert? If they became the rulers, would Mount Sumeru really become a better place?

Chapter 593 Arrival at the Vitality House

The traveler dared not make any promises to Shani, but at least he dared to say that he was working hard to make Sumeru better.

The traveler is not a Sumeru person, but her friends are.

Foreigners may not fully grasp the meaning of this storyline, but for the Sumeru people, it's a deeply relatable experience. They can completely understand Shani's worries, as it concerns their own lives.

Fortunately, the current rulers, Elhesen and Nasita, are good people and gods; otherwise, Sumeru really couldn't withstand any more turmoil.

Inazuma may seem fragile, but in reality, as long as there is a shadow, Inazuma will not break.

Sumeru is different; they lack absolute power or absolute faith, and are the kind that could shatter at any moment.

It can only be said that the Red King's self-destruction was too sudden, so sudden that neither the desert nor the rainforest had time to leave any contingency plans.

The Great Tree King did manage to spare Nasita, but time was too short, and he failed to provide her with any protective measures, resulting in Nasita being captured shortly after birth.

In contrast, Fucarus next door brought in Navelette, a dragon that was agile in the water.
