Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

When the sun set again, they arrived at Aru Village.

After being kindly received by the villagers of Aru Village, they met the rescue team sent by the Academy that night.

The visitor looked at Elhaysen with surprise, and shouted from a distance: "Sir Secretary! Great, you're okay!"

Wei Lai looked towards the source of the sound. The team from the Order Academy was standing next to the statue of the Seven Heavens God in Aru Village. The person leading it was none other than Ivan.

After bidding farewell to the kind-hearted villagers and returning with the team from the Order, Wei Lai was about to go home when he suddenly ran into trouble.

Her body stiffened slightly.

Alhaysen noticed, he stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Um..." Willie remembered something very important, "Alhaysen, will there be a spare key for the property given to me in the courtyard?"

Elhaysen: "Did you lose your key?"

"That's not the case..." Willie said, "I didn't lose it, but I drifted on the sea for a while, and the key became rusty after being repeatedly soaked in water."

"I didn't pay attention at first, but when I reacted, I realized that it was too rusty to be used."

——After all, she had always been full of hope to return to the original world before she got the truth, and she never thought about going back to Sumeru.

Alhaysen's eyes suddenly turned unspeakable when he looked at her. He looked away and said, "Don't think about the spare key. You can only get a new one."

"…or change the door."

Wei Lai: "..."

Willie: "What should I do? It's still not possible to open the door. My things are already two meters thick with dust."

It’s totally useless if you don’t clean it!

"If it doesn't work out, just ask the instructor if there are any vacancies -"

"You can go to my place first." Elhaysen gave a reason that sounded very reasonable. "After all, it was you who saved me from that confined space. Just think of it as thanks, Senior Sister Gelton."

Willie was stunned.

"……what?"

The stunned Siren lady's eyes were wide open, full of disbelief.

Just like the words "I care about you" in the desert, Miss Siren felt shocked for the second time.

Elhaysen's expression was as calm as ever, and he asked: "Why are you surprised?"

Willie: "Are you really Alhaysen?"

Although it was understandable that she would be repaying him, she thought that Elhaysen could at most help her find a temporary place to live!

Elhaysen: "I still have a room in my residence. It's enough to accommodate you for a few nights."

"Also, in your eyes, can't I be such a person?"

Wei Lai: "...To be honest, my impression of you is still the same as six years ago."

Weilai could still see the changes in Kawei, Xeno, Tinari or their mentors' letters, but only Elhaysen...

Six years is actually not a long time for Siren, but her memory has become much blurred.

Except for Kawei’s occasional indignant rants in letters, Willie’s impression of Elhaysen, apart from his appearance, has gradually become just that——

He doesn't speak well, has a hard-to-get-together personality, and is extremely rational.

He seems...really...changed a little?

Willie was a little unsure.

"What, are you unwilling?" Alhaysen asked.

Willie thought about it for a moment, then put the strange feeling in her heart behind her: "There's nothing reluctant about it."

"Thank you then." She suddenly wanted to make a joke, "...Grand Secretary."

Alhaysen paused.

"It's Elhaysen."

Wei Lai:?

He was silent for a moment and said again: "Just call me by my name."

It's Alhaysen, not the Great Clerk, not that guy, and not his younger brother.

That night, the guest room of the Elhaysen family was vacated for Willie.

After conveying the news to Xumi's relatives and friends that he had returned, and finally resting, Willie opened the notebook that Alhaysen had brought out from the dangerous ruins.

When she opened it, she realized that it was actually a diary.

【x month x day x year】

[After thinking hard today, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a new angle in the study of mechanism techniques! This is actually possible! I'm so happy. When I formally propose this theory, it will definitely go down in history! 】

At the very beginning, the owner of the note still sounded like a normal person when he wrote this article.

Wei Lai read through them one by one, from the very beginning of his research to when the results were slowly revealed, the tone of his notes became increasingly fanatical.

[This is definitely the greatest theory in history! I will use it to create the most difficult mechanism in the world! 】

Before the results appeared, he couldn't wait to present his theory to his tutor and classmates.

Even the written words are full of satisfaction.

【They will definitely be impressed by me! 】

but……

Turn back.

Crazy handwriting was densely spread across the entire page, and the barely legible handwriting on it wrote the vaguely legible words "Why", "Don't understand" and "Idiot" and "Mediocrity" that almost pierced the paper.

Wei Lai guessed that this was probably because his new theory that he thought was great was not recognized.

Ignoring the complicated psychological changes in the middle, Willie flipped through the last few articles.

[Before the spread of rumors attracts visitors, I want to be the first to experience the great results! 】

The "rumors" he mentioned probably refer to the "extraterrestrial civilization" and "magical technology" that Willie heard about, as well as the "words" that Elhaysen wants to explore.

Maybe the rumor didn't spread so quickly at first, but until the news emerged that the two teams sent by the Order Council didn't come back...

This rumor of "what's in the ruins" spread quickly and became more and more intense.

At the end of the note, the scholar was still crazy.

[I didn’t expect... I would be trapped inside by my own mechanism. 】

[But...but...this is my new theory! My results are great! No one can solve it! This is the most difficult mechanism technique! 】

【Only this point...Only this point will not change! 】

There were some words later that were similar to saying that it was okay to die for the great science. Wei Lai couldn't stand it and finally closed the notebook without saying anything.

She always appreciates people who love academics.

Risking life and death for the sake of academics... This is even difficult for me to do.

But her attitude was good, and she would never agree with the thoughts of this extreme ruin owner.

……so terrible.

Sometimes knowing what to do requires great perseverance, but if you stubbornly refuse to do it even if you know it is wrong, it will most likely lead to a big mistake.

It was also because of this... After persisting for six years, the moment she learned part of the truth from Mond, she gave up.

Creating a mechanism that can never be solved is not because the mechanism is really superior. On the contrary, as Elhaysen said, because the theory is wrong.

Mistakes built on mistakes make the stubborn practitioner the first to pay the price.

The pile of bones in Elhaysen's room...should be the body of the owner of the ruins.

Sumeru City.

In the familiar tavern, a person has been waiting there early.

"Hey, tell me, Elhaysen, why did you suddenly call me out?"

Kaweila opened his chair and muttered: "Hurry up and tell me, I'm very busy at this time. I haven't even finished the drawings for this order! If you hadn't said you were in a hurry, I wouldn't have done it. Come here!"

Elhaysen watched him sit down quietly, listened quietly to his complaints, and then the first thing he said was: "I'll buy you a glass of wine tonight."

Kavi: "...Huh?"

Suddenly came to be a good Samaritan?

An alarm suddenly sounded in Kawei's heart, and every nerve in his body was shouting that this guy definitely had no good intentions.

Sure enough, the sinful gray-haired man said something that made Kawei want to roll up his sleeves and curse.

"I have already found a hotel for you to stay in temporarily. As for renting a house you mentioned...there are reasons why I can't rent it to you for the time being."

Kawei: "..."

Kavi: “What did you say???”

He wondered if he had heard wrongly.

"No, Elhaysen, are you serious?"

"Didn't you agree to rent it to me before?? I even agreed to take care of the housework. Why are you breaking your promise! I have packed my luggage and am waiting to move there tomorrow. You can handle this for me. !”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kawei looked around guiltily, fearing that others would hear that such a dignified architect actually wanted to rent a house.

Kawei was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and Elhaysen replied calmly without changing his expression: "So I said that I have found a hotel for you to stay temporarily. If you are not angry anymore, I can also pay for the hotel stay and wait for you to earn it." Pay me back after you get the money."

Kawei: "..."

Kawei: "No, when you came back from a trip to the desert, did you bring some treasure from the ruins for fear that I would steal it???"

You also pay for it on your behalf, and pay it back after making money... Even if you are responsible for the loss, you just buy a drink, and you will never do any charity other than that, right?

It was originally an angry remark made casually, and Kawei didn't expect to get any reply from Elhaysen. He probably would just ignore it, but...

damn it! Elhaysen, why did you turn your face away? What does that flash of uncomfortable expression on your face mean?

--small theater--

The down-and-out architect lent Dolly a large sum of money and built the magnificent Casa Zale for Dolly. But as a result, I emptied my wallet and became heavily in debt.

At this moment, he remembered that he and his junior fellow student Elhaysen had been awarded a prize by the Order for a joint project, but the real estate that was in Elhaysen's name was given up because of his own initiative.

Kavi (holding back his temper and being humble): Please rent the extra guest room to me.

Elhaysen (the rent will still be collected, an understatement): Yes, but you have to do the housework.

After returning from a trip to the desert.

Elhaysen: I have already found the hotel where you are staying.
