Under Aether's shocked gaze, Su Yuan manipulated the Hydro Elent to form an arched water wall, enclosing the two of them within it.
The conversation that was about to take place might be a bit private, and Su Yuan didn't want others to overhear.
"Without a Vision, you can still use Hydro Elent? How is that possible?" Aether asked, puzzled.
"Could it be that, like , you can use the corresponding elental power as long as you touch the Seven Archon Statues?"
"Not quite. My situation is a bit more complicated," Su Yuan replied.
"Let explain it to you properly..."
So, Su Yuan proceeded to tell Aether all the information he knew.
Of course, he left out the part about having the ability to rewind ti.
"So it's called the 'Eerie' power?" Aether mused.
"No wonder that Hilichurl had such strength!"
"Huh? So the injuries you sustained were from a Hilichurl controlled by the 'Eerie'?" Su Yuan was also taken aback.
While he knew that the "Eerie" power could control people, it was the first ti he heard of it being able to control monsters.
And based on the current situation, it seed that self-induced "Eerification" had certain specific conditions, and was closely linked to negative emotions...
So, did this Hilichurl beco "Eerie" on its own, or was it influenced by so external factor?
"Based on your description, I believe this Hilichurl's condition is a result of an external factor causing incomplete Eerie transformation..." Aether spoke slowly, "In other words, it's the work of 'Doctor' Dottore..."
"But even if it's only an incomplete Eerie transformation, it's still not sothing that can be easily matched by ordinary people. You've been injured, but you still survived—how did you manage to do that?" Su Yuan asked curiously.
"I guess it's no surprise, the Traveler truly is the protagonist of this world, being able to overco the Eerie forces alone..."
"The Hilichurl's speed wasn't fast, but I still found it difficult to defend against its attacks..." Aether explained.
"Now I understand. It's because elental power can't defend against the Eerie forces... But from what I saw, his attacks were uncoordinated, even more chaotic than a regular Hilichurl's..."
"It was like he had no brain at all..."
"So, I tried swimming towards the sea. Normally, Hilichurls are afraid of water and won't swim, so they don't get close to the water..."
"But this Hilichurl was different. Without hesitation, it chased into the water, and then drowned... Otherwise, I might not have made it either..."
Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully. "So it was the terrain that saved you..."
Looking at it from this angle, it seed like this Eerie-controlled Hilichurl had completely lost its rationality, unable to even recognize its own danger...
Now that it's confird that even monsters can be controlled by the Eerie, I wonder if higher-level, intelligent monsters are susceptible to this as well?
So, is this complete loss of rationality easier to deal with or harder?
"By the way, Su Yuan, I have so thoughts about the uncertain tips and rules you ntioned," Aether looked at Su Yuan and spoke.
"First, it says there's a possibility that you could be controlled by the Eerie..."
"And you've also said that if you were controlled by the Eerie, you would lose mory of that period. So, have you ever experienced mory loss?"
Su Yuan was montarily stunned when Aether asked that.
mory loss? Does rewind mory loss count?
But that's his special ability, his cheat, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the Eerie, right?
Naturally, Su Yuan couldn't tell Aether about his ability to rewind ti, even though he, like Su Yuan, was from another world.
So he could only reply, "I don't think so."
"Then next, you said that soone you know is always under Eerie control..."
"You suspect it's Paimon, but I don't think it is."
"From what you've said, the Eerie only recently arrived in Teyvat. Paimon and I have been together for so long, if sothing had happened to her, I would have noticed."
"That's true." Listening to Aether's explanation, Su Yuan nodded.
"Maybe this rule tip is completely fake, ant to confuse us!"
"However, even if this tip is fake, there are still at least two possible interpretations..."
Aether said thoughtfully.
"One interpretation is that no one has been constantly controlled by the Eerie..."
"And the other interpretation is that not just one person, but more than one has always been controlled by the Eerie..."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan was montarily stunned...
Indeed, it makes so much sense!
One interpretation suggests there's none, and the other suggests more than one!
If it's the latter, that would be quite troubleso...
"Also, your speculation that Descenders like us can't be controlled by the Eerie is just your uncertain guess..."
"If we could do an experint, it would be perfect. Let be the test subject."
"If I really were controlled by the Eerie, you could work with Neuvillette to drain the Eerie power from ."
"But the problem now is that, aside from Dottore, no one can actively wield Eerie power to conduct such an experint..."
"Moreover, many of your ideas are still re speculations without confirmation."
Aether looked at Su Yuan, deep in thought, and said, "There's a saying: 'The observer sees clearly, while the one involved is confused.' Sotis, it's best to look at things from a different perspective."
Su Yuan looked at Aether, feeling that he was truly the protagonist of Teyvat, the chosen one by destiny.
After this conversation, he felt enlightened...
He felt like Aether was his soulmate!
Su Yuan's soulmate is Aether, or... "Su Yuan X Aether"...
Su Yuan had no idea why these words popped up in his mind.
...
lusine Fortress.
Wriothesley glanced at the person in front of him—a man with short, light blue hair, a small mole beneath his slightly upturned lips, and a faint, composed smile.
Then, he spoke:
"Head of the Kamisato Clan from Inazuma, Lord Kamisato Ayato. What business brings you to lusine Fortress?"
"Duke Wriothesley," Kamisato Ayato replied with a smile.
"I have heard that lusine Fortress is the most technologically advanced and well-regulated prison in Fontaine—perhaps even in all of Teyvat. I have co to learn from it."
"Recently, due to certain events, the demand for prisons in Inazuma has increased significantly, and there are also many wounded in need of treatnt..."
"I have heard that Head Nurse Sigewinne of lusine Fortress possesses extraordinary dical skills, so I brought so people along to observe and study."
To be honest, though Wriothesley had long heard of Kamisato Ayato, this was his first ti eting him in person.
Wriothesley didn't particularly like Kamisato Ayato.
Though he was polite and always smiling, he gave off the impression of soone deeply calculating and difficult to read...
Dealing with such people was the most ntally exhausting.
Moreover, Wriothesley didn't believe that Kamisato Ayato had co to Fontaine simply to study prison managent and dical techniques.
There had to be another reason.
"And this," Kamisato Ayato continued, "is a specialty of Inazuma—one of my personal favorite beverages. As a small gift, I offer it to you, Duke, so you may taste a bit of foreign flavor."
As he spoke, he handed Wriothesley a cup filled with a light brown liquid.
At the bottom of the transparent cup were small black spheres.
Judging by the color, was it a dairy-based drink? Or perhaps coffee?
And what were those small black spheres at the bottom?
Wriothesley was puzzled, but considering he hadn't had tea for two days, a change of pace didn't seem like a bad idea.
So, he took a straw, inserted it into the cup, and took a small sip.
