Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

After hearing Ye Lan's explanation, Paimon suddenly felt his mouth go dry. His eyes were uncontrollably attracted to the crystal canopy embedded in the center of the ceiling, and his tone began to stutter.

"Then...that is the wish stone that can harm people?!"

"Ugh... Traveler, are you feeling okay? Should we evacuate first?"

Little Paimon timidly grabbed the traveler's arm, "When we were in the banquet hall just now, you didn't seem to be in the right state..."

Seeing Paimon's worried look, Yingmei helplessly patted the little guy's head.

As expected of the timid little fool Paimon, she was the one who proposed to join the Yelan mission team. Now that they encountered an unknown danger, it was this guy who gave in first.

"Little friend Paimon, don't be so panicked. I have never seen the so-called wish stone fragments with my own eyes, and I can't be sure whether the piece on the skylight is also of this type." Zhong Li corrected seriously, "I just combined Miss Yelan's Based on the description of its characteristics, it is suspected that it is related to the wish stone."

"Obviously the function of the wish stone is only to absorb the energy of the surrounding earth veins and release it in some way... It is reasonable to speculate that the energy fluctuations of the surrounding earth veins will show periodic changes with the radiation fluctuations of the crystal itself. This This is also the reason why the ley line counter will jump repeatedly."

Although he said that he did not fully understand the wish stone, Zhongli's conclusive explanation was inexplicably convincing. Coupled with his calm and unhurried tone, there was no tension at all about being in danger.

Thinking of Zhongli's true identity, Paimeng seemed to calm down a lot. She followed Yelan's example and stared at the huge blue crystal a few more times, and then asked continuously:

"That one...isn't it the banquet venue on the third floor? There should be all the big shots in Liyue standing there now, right? Doesn't anyone know the goods? And it's not like mortals without the eyes of gods will soon be smitten by crystal stones. Radiation erosion...?"

After hearing Paimeng's barrage of questions, Zhongli crossed his arms and did not comment on the vision of Liyue's powerful people. He just explained the reason for the temporary failure of the wish stone.

"As Yu Hengxing said just now, the Golden House is originally built on the largest earth vein node near Liyue Port. There are often abnormal activities of earth vein energy here. Therefore, the Golden House is not only a mint, but also a place for sorting out earth veins and tempering. A device for refining earth veins.”

"The production of Mora must rely on the earth's veins, so the work area of ​​the Golden House is equipped with special anti-interference devices."

Zhongli raised his hand and tapped the thick granite wall behind him with his knuckles. "These rocks have special properties and can block the influence of earth vein energy on humans to a certain extent."

Zhongli was talking eloquently, while Yelan climbed up the roof beam by relying on the life-saving thread. While carefully observing the crystal canopy, she also paid attention to Zhongli's words and deeds.

This guest gentleman's conversational skills, demeanor and appearance are not that of ordinary people. Judging from his physical appearance, he is definitely not more than 30 years old. Without the support of a large amount of resources and communication, it is impossible to have such magnanimity at such an age.

In conclusion, this person’s background and details are unclear, and his so-called past experience is basically impossible to verify, but it cannot be falsified either.

Yelan even wondered whether Zhongli might have accidentally made a mistake while Hu Tao was at work. He accidentally got entangled with some "thing" from the other side and was unable to send him to death. He had no choice but to bring him back and find another way. .

Zhongli's origin is so perfect that he can only be explained as a reclusive master from Liyue for the time being.

When it comes to hidden masters, there is a very high probability that they are immortals.

In the hundreds of years of inheritance experience of the Shengtang, it is not impossible for the successive hall masters to make friends with several immortals during this period and ask them to protect their descendants when necessary.

"There are still many doubts about the geology theory. Mr. Zhongli's statement is more like speculation, right?"

After Zhongli's deduction was over, Ye Lan also flew down from the beam on the second floor and asked questions.

"Not even the Xumi Order can directly confirm the nature of the wish stone. According to the sages in the academy, they need a large number of spirit stone samples and human experiment volunteers in Liyue. They still have several years to study dialectics before they can Please reply to us with preliminary inferences about the spirit stones..." Yelan curled her lips disdainfully, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the Xumi scholars' extravagant demands, especially since Xumi's side actively requested participation in this kind of ecological environment survey project.

As we all know, the Xumi Order Academy is the highest academic institution on the surface of the Teyvat Continent. The most important reason why the Order Academy is able to occupy the top spot among the higher education institutions in the Teyvat Continent with an overwhelming advantage is that they The way to teach knowledge is the so-called "void" terminal.

This five-hundred-year-old invention embodies the wisdom of dozens of generations of people in the Order. Through the Void Terminal, users can quickly and easily engrave any knowledge directly into their minds.

Even children who are just learning to speak can become experts in a certain field in an instant as long as the void authority is opened to them.

This kind of science and technology, which far exceeds the limits of human existing elements and alchemical theories, naturally attracted Ye Lan's attention.

Unfortunately, after a long period of secret investigation, Ye Lan discovered that the Void Terminal was not as magical and stunning as she had imagined. The operation of the Void Terminal still required the power of gods to maintain, and was essentially more like an external manifestation of the power of the Heart of God. form.

However, these scholars from the city, who claimed to be the wisest, gradually lost their ability to think proactively due to their over-reliance on the void system. As a result, in the hundred years since they lost their gods, there were no more substantial breakthroughs in the scientific research of the Academy. .

"What...human experiment? Did the wealthy Ningguang woman agree?"

Hearing Yelan's retort, Paimon covered his mouth in surprise.

Nowadays, the continent of Teyvat has been at peace for a long time, and the practice of human experimentation, which sounds inhumane, has long been strictly restricted by the seven countries.

Although it is not ruled out that there are still crazy scientists secretly conducting such experiments, the Imperial Academy, as the highest academic institution and governing body in Xumi, so arrogantly requested cooperation from Liyue in its national capacity, which made Yelan feel a little contemptuous. Heart.

"Of course Ningguang rejected the proposal of the Teaching Council and suggested that those Xumi scholars who want to investigate should come and mine on their own."

Ye Lan shook her head angrily and started talking about the changes in the various forces in the Strata Rock Abyss in recent years.

"After Ningguang rejected the Xumi people's cooperation application, Zhidong's envoys made the same request. Although their reputation is not very good, their attitude is completely different from the Xumi people."

"So the General Affairs Department agreed to cooperate with the Fools. After the Sumeru people learned the news, they immediately changed their tune. They sent scholars from Amilidu Academy to actively contact us, and agreed to cooperate with the advance team of the Fools who went to the mine to investigate."

"You also know what happened later. Ningguang is now responsible for the negotiations with the Foolish People. I guess she should be able to claim part of the inspection results, right? As for how to calculate the liability for breach of contract, this matter will probably be discussed at the negotiation table. It’s not over…”

Ye Lan briefly explained the current structure of the Layer Rock Abyss, then glanced at Zhongli and rummaged for something in his small bag.

"The theory of earth veins is indeed just speculation, and your worries are not unreasonable." Zhongli pondered for a moment and then nodded, "However, if today's farce can end smoothly, it may be possible to achieve something that neither the Teaching Council nor the Fools can do. This proves that the wish stone is harmless."

Zhongli's voice gradually dropped, as if he had thought of something. He paused for a moment and then spoke again: "Well, maybe there is someone who can solve this matter in a short time..."

It's a pity that Traveler, Yelan and others were thinking about ways to break the situation and didn't listen carefully to what Zhongli was saying.

The person Zhongli said could solve the threat of the Sky Nail was leaning against the railing of the viewing seat, condescendingly admiring the confrontation between Ning Lan and Ke Qing, as well as the torrent of faith that continued to gather and become increasingly violent. (End of chapter)
