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

This isn't like the time in the Golden House. The Red King is truly dead, not faking it. The wealth here is essentially unclaimed, so why not reach out and take some?

Paimon had said he wanted to take some from the Golden House last time, but he didn't say anything this time.

Perhaps Yingmei spoiled her too much, and now she's living a good life.

Chapter 764 The Ubiquitous Fools

Tirzad paid no attention to the treasures scattered on the ground; his eyes were only on the enormous coffin. He only wanted to know the secrets buried inside. He strode forward, no longer afraid.

Paimon commented: "I really don't know if he's brave or cowardly..."

Tirzad was the employer, and since the employer had said so, it was natural to find a way to open the coffin, so everyone split up to carry out their tasks.

Now the traveler has much more freedom; while others investigate, she chats around.

Tirzad was thinking about whether the information he had gathered so far could be used to write two papers—two papers, after all!

The scholars of Sumeru were moved to tears. This was our predecessor! He remained unmoved upon seeing the gold coins on the ground, his mind preoccupied with his thesis.

Jade became somewhat quiet during the journey because her father became more talkative.

Jeborele was not a talkative person and disliked arguing with people, so this sudden change made Jade suspicious.

My dad's acting a bit strange, what's going on?

Her father, Jeborele, unaware of his daughter's doubts, lamented, "It's a pity Yufie can't see it."

Everyone has different ideas, and this five-person team is so united that they could create more than five group chats.

However, upon seeing the name "Youfei," Jade in real life blinked and looked even more intently.

Thanks to the traveler's efforts, the coffin was opened, but there were no remains of the Red King inside. It makes sense that the Red King is not in the Red King's tomb.

No one found this strange. Everyone who had read Grass God II knew that the Red King had been eaten by the Grass Dragon, so there would naturally be no remains here.

But Tirzad in the story obviously didn't know this information, so he was still wondering why there was nothing in the coffin and what to do about his thesis.

Tirzad realized a possibility: "I understand, this is just an illusion."

"Of course the Red King could have imagined that future generations would have scholars like myself, with an inquisitive spirit, who, adhering to the principle of getting to the bottom of things, would uncover all his secrets."

"Of course, he wouldn't easily allow others to pry into his secrets, so he built such a large mausoleum and prepared so many...doors and rooms."

"The real treasure must be in a higher place, closer to the sky..."

They said it so convincingly that if everyone hadn't seen the second season of "Kusagami," they would have believed it too.

Those viewers who know the truth can only say, "Then go to Sky Island, it's closer to the sky."

But since he's the big spender, and he's said so, there's nothing we can do but climb up the ladder.

However, there was still nothing there. This was natural, since the Crimson King was inside the Grass Dragon's belly, how could it be found inside the Crimson King's Tomb?

However, it wasn't all for naught; at least the traveler's stone tablet was upgraded.

In the animation, the stone slab floats in the air and is then shot by a large device in front of it. The projectile leaves a mark on the stone slab, illuminating a symbol.

This scene is like going to an amusement park and getting a stamp for each scene you visit; it's practically revitalizing desert tourism.

However, this tour route was not very safe. The travelers and their companions fainted as soon as they entered the next door. When they woke up again, only Paimon was in front of them.

Although the traveler was unconscious, Paimon was quite alert; it was unclear whether she had just woken up or had never been unconscious at all.

It has to be said that although Paimon usually looks weak, she always seems to wake up before the Traveler whenever she falls into a coma.

I don't know whether to say that the Traveler's resistance to coma is too weak, or that Paimon's resistance to coma is too strong.

Perhaps the two complement each other; the Traveler has high physical resistance but low mental resistance, while Paimon is the opposite.

Anyway, now that an accident has happened, the traveler has become separated from the others.

While searching for others, the traveler discovers the Fatui... the Fatui!?

Yes, it's the Fools; they've surrounded Jade and the others.

The audience's eyes widened in disbelief. Why were there fools everywhere?

This is the Red King's Tomb, so why would there be Fools inside?

If it were outside, that would be one thing, but this is indoors, no, underground. How did the Fools get in? Did they take the stairs?

The Fatui on the other side probably had the same question: how did the traveler get into this godforsaken place? How come the traveler is everywhere!

It's said that everyone feels the Fools are 'everywhere,' to the point that people are somewhat desensitized to seeing them in stories.

Compared to these fools, the audience discovered something that mattered to them even more.

Weren't we supposed to go up? How did we end up underground?

The audience's questions remained unanswered, because Paimon's questions still lay with the Fools.

Paimon asked, "Speaking of which, why are the Fatui here... Is this some kind of popular archaeological site?"

[Tirzad replied: "Huh? How could that be! If it were a popular research topic, I wouldn't have chosen to come here in the first place."]

Tirzad refuted this view, and his reasons were very valid: he wouldn't come here if it were a hot topic, because he couldn't compete with the other scholars, and he was perfectly justified in doing so.

Are you the famous traveler? I am the famous useless scholar!

Even Paimon couldn't stand it anymore and started complaining that Tirzad was too weak and lacked confidence.

Although he was mocked by Paimon, he didn't feel ashamed at all; in fact, he was quite proud.

"...I call this not taking on challenges I'm not confident about."

He only came here to try his luck because this topic is so niche.

How could it possibly be to the point that even the fools of the Winter Solstice Kingdom came to conduct research?

This reminds the audience that someone is researching such an obscure field; could this person be a PhD...?

The doctor is also a Sumeru person, and a mad scholar at that, so it's not surprising that he's interested in obscure knowledge.

The audience was somewhat worried if they encountered the doctor here.

Although the Traveler has extremely high combat strength, and even some Executors can't beat her, the Doctor is a different story.

But now is not the time to worry about the doctor, because Benben is lost.

Benben is clearly a crucial element in this adventure, even more useful than Tirzad, so the group decided to search for him.

The search process was not complicated; it was just that they encountered many Fools and Gilded Brigade members along the way.

They would attack any traveler they saw, yet they remained peaceful with one another, presumably having reached some shady agreement.

Many people assumed that the Fatui hired the Gilded Troupe because the Fatui were perceived as wealthy and powerful, while the Gilded Troupe seemed to be quite poor.

But in reality, it was the opposite; it was Samir who hired the Fools, meaning it was a case of mercenaries hiring professional soldiers.

Character Voice Lines - Tartaglia: About Hiring

"Hiring other people is a convenient and effective strategy. What? Cost? That's not something I need to consider."

Chapter 765 Samel: Let's bring the 'kids' along too!

Tirzad was already scared by the Fools and the Gilded Brigade; he wanted to run away.

At this point in the story, Tirzad seems to be portrayed as a clown: academically inept yet prone to arguing, timid yet troublesome.

But how to put it, the audience doesn't dislike him. They always feel like they've raised some kind of 'little animal' and are more curious about what other tricks he can pull.

Tirzad's attempt to run away was futile, as he didn't actually have much say in the team.

Normally, people listen to him because he's the employer, but now that Benben is lost and Jade wants to find him, the travelers naturally side with Jade.

Then a member of the gilded troupe who looked unusual appeared on the screen, and this person seemed to know Zeborelle.

[Samel shouted, "Ha! I was just wondering when you would come, dear Jeberleil!"]

Although he said "darling," there was no intimacy in his tone; instead, it sounded somewhat sarcastic.

"Ah, how long has it been since we last spoke face to face like this? I can't even count the days on my fingers. And you, do you remember, Jeberlele?"

Jeborelle ignored him, but it was clear to everyone that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

Currently, viewers can't tell whether this Samel is good or bad; they just think he's quite handsome.

Compared to the dark-skinned man, Zhebolele, this man is much fairer. I'm really curious what skincare products he uses to have such fair skin in the desert.

Samel continued, “You still have a place in Thutmose, and everything can continue as before, if you wish. Moreover, what Babel owed us in the past… we can collect from him later.”

They couldn't understand it at all. Not to mention ordinary audiences, even Jede, the daughter of Jeborelle, couldn't understand it.

Who exactly are you, Samel? What is Thutmose? And who is Babel?

One name after another filled everyone's minds with questions.

Not only them, but Jade, as one of the parties involved, was even more puzzled. She stared blankly at the big screen in front of her, then looked at her father beside her.

Dad, how many secrets are you keeping from me?

Is it really true that, like Desia's father, you also have some unknown dark past, and you too are going to become a dragon-slaying hero?

No! I don't want to be a hero, I just want you by my side.

Jade doesn't want to lose her father, because she really has nothing else besides him.

With her father's help, Dixia found her own troupe and a new place to stay, but Jade didn't; she only had her father.

Neither in the story nor in reality did Jade know Samel, but Samel knew her. Samel said to her:

["When you were just a child who couldn't remember anything, I held you in my arms, half bathed in moonlight, half by the campfire, just like your parents..."]

Samel was like a relative you hadn't seen for decades who suddenly said, "I used to hold you when you were a child."

But even after saying that, Jade couldn't remember who he was at all.

After reading the rest of the story, Jade might wonder why she didn't pee all over him when she was a child.

Seeing Jade's bewildered expression, Samel continued, "Looks like Zeberlele didn't tell you anything? Seriously? Zeberlele, you can't even tell the truth to your own daughter?"

His words were still sarcastic, but the way he spoke always made people feel that he was a bit... flirtatious?

Yes, he's a bit flirtatious. Both his words and tone of voice make him seem very flirtatious.

It wasn't the kind of flirtatious 'flamboyance,' but rather a kind of 'flamboyance' rife with complaints. He seemed to have a lot of grievances against Geboreler.

Samel continued, "You don't even dare tell her your history. Why? Are you afraid she'll look down on you after knowing about your betrayals?"

Jade: "......"

What does betrayal refer to? Sammer quickly provided the answer:

"The secret of Ahmar belongs to Thutmose! And you, carrying the 'key,' betrayed us, betrayed all the sand!"

He betrayed all the sand with the "key," which roughly means that Zeborele ran away with the most crucial thing.

Jade pondered, "Dad doesn't usually carry anything with him, so if I had to... could it be me?"

Jade was pondering what the "key" was, while Jeborele in the story completely ignored Samel's words and demanded that Samel hand over Benben.

Sammer ignored Zeborele's request and his words became even more sarcastic.

The two of them completely ignored what the other was saying and kept talking about their own things. It's hard to tell if what they were doing counts as chatting.

In any case, Samel's level of sarcasm was off the charts, making the audience wish that Yae no Miko would descend into the Traveler's body and give him a good slap in the face.

Let him know properly that you're not quite up to par with your sarcastic remarks.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Although the traveler was good at complaining, she wasn't good at arguing back. She just listened quietly from the side. To be honest, she probably didn't understand anything at all.

Yingmei: I didn't understand much of what you were babbling on. When are you going to make your move?

Sammer didn't make a move; he continued to mock Jeborele, even turning back to call on the Fools to laugh along.

However, the Fools, like the Traveler, completely missed his joke and looked at each other blankly.

What are you talking about? If you're done talking, hurry up and leave, okay? You don't know that blond guy over there, but we do. Let's run!
