Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 182 The Mouth of God

Seeing Paimon hurriedly waving his hands in denial, Huiyuan and Ying had already seen through everything.

Paimon, actually, didn't understand anything!

Abedo, who saw through all of this, said, "If the fruit grows to be very delicious, let's share it together."

Upon hearing this, Paimon immediately wiped away his gloomy expression.

"Great! You have to keep your word!"

Huiyuan was taken aback and began to question his understanding of Paimon.

(So...Paimon wasn't concerned about saving face, but was actually thinking about the fruit???)

The renowned five-star adventurer, Ying, stopped in her tracks, shocked, and exclaimed, "She actually saw through Paimon's thoughts!"

Abeldo also stopped and faced the crowd.

"That's because I... sometimes help take care of a child. It's a bit complicated to explain, so just think of it as a little skill I have outside of alchemy. Getting back to the first research, it's about elemental power. People in this world who want to use elemental power must have a divine eye, but I don't see anything like that on you."

As he spoke, Abedo looked at Ying.

"I want to confirm why you can use elemental forces so freely, so I'd like to ask you a few questions first. First, do you have any organs that others don't have? For example, a second heart, a fourth stomach, or something like that."

Ying shook her head.

"No."

"I see. So, the little guy flying beside you is connected to your body?"

Hearing this question, Paimon stomped his foot and said angrily, "What a strange question! Just looking at it, you can rule out that possibility. Besides, it's not 'little guy,' it's Paimon!"

As Paimon declared his name, he squinted, crossed his arms, raised his head, and pouted, as if asserting his sovereignty.

Looking at such an adorable creature, Aberdo wasn't overly excited; instead, he simply said "Oh."

"I'm just considering the possibility of you as an 'external organ,' perhaps the connection between you is in an invisible way."

Upon hearing the words "external organ," Huiyuan's lips curled into a smile, and she joked, "Paimon might be some kind of vocal organ. We all have the Eye of God, so Paimon should be the 'Mouth of God.' You see, Ying rarely speaks; Paimon usually handles the communication."

Given this possibility, Aberdo pondered and began to calculate the probabilities.

Paimon stomped his foot angrily.

"That doesn't seem right!"

This joke amused Ying, who had been silent, and she burst out laughing.

"Pfft... Hahahaha, maybe."

"Hello--!"

"Hahaha... I'm just kidding. Paimon is something I fished out of the water; it's the best emergency food."

"Hey!!!"

Paimon pouted, raised his soft little hand, and angrily punched Ying's head.

Ying pretended to be in pain, dodged for a moment, and apologized.

Seeing how good their relationship was, Abedo ruled out the possibility of "external organs".

"Hmm... In that case, could it be that Paimon directed his elemental power to you? But that's assuming Paimon's elemental power can penetrate ten meters of rock, or make the waterfall south of Springvale flow backward."

Paimon was even more speechless after hearing Abedo's hypothesis.

Am I really that amazing? How come I didn't know?

Seeing Paimon's expression, Abedo said disappointedly, "Hmm, I knew it was impossible..."

"I haven't said anything yet!"

Ignoring Paimon's complaints, Abeddo continued with the research process and drew his conclusions.

"So it seems that your physical structure is not significantly different from that of humans in this world."

After speaking, Abedo turned his gaze to Huiyuan, who exuded a youthful charm.

In Lingling's skin state, Huiyuan's Divine Eye is hung on the hairpin version of "Leisurely".

Abedo's gaze fell on the top of Huiyuan's head. Huiyuan shivered, thinking that he was examining her face.

"This Dawn General..."

"Call me Lingling."

"Miss Lingling, you don't come from this world, yet you possess divine insight. Like me, you're a Geo elementalist, but from the beginning, I've noticed you can use both Anemo and Pyro elements simultaneously..."

Before Abedo could offer his guess, Huiyuan interrupted him.

"This Eye of God is a replica I made. It uses my own special energy to generate corresponding elemental power, so that I can use it to unleash my power in this world."

"Is that so? Then..."

"Like the Teyvats, I have a heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and the same number of them. It's both a coincidence and an inevitability that I look like a Liyue person."

“I see. It seems we can only use experiments to study the possible differences. First, let’s see how the traveler’s elemental power of unknown origin flows outward. Next, I will attract some slimes. Please defeat them in the way you are most familiar with.”

When Aberdo said that, Paimon was taken aback and retorted, "So that's how you observe things...?"

Yes! Shouldn't we use some high-tech instruments, like microscopes and scanners, for research?

Is it possible to draw any conclusions about such profound knowledge with the naked eye?

Seeing Paimon's confusion, Abedo explained simply and clearly: "A good experiment should be intuitive and clear, and this is just a simple small study. Of course, if you feel it lacks challenge, we can also try to challenge six pure water spirits at the same time."

Recalling the experience of gathering breakthrough materials for Barbara—no, wait, recalling the guerrilla warfare against the Pure Water Sprite—Paimon quickly waved his hand.

"Slime! Slime will do!"

Ying nodded vigorously.

"I don't want to be bumped around by shapeshifters."

Seeing that the two agreed, Abedo looked to the other side and said, "Well then, get ready, the slime is coming."

Having already observed and understood that the elemental power released by Huiyuan was similar to the process of his own Eye of God, Abedo only allowed Ying to deal with these slimes.

The slime wasn't a particularly strong monster; Ying dealt with it in no time. Of course, this was assuming the slime's level was below 120.

Sheathed her sword, dusted off her clothes, and returned.

"You've worked hard. You shouldn't have felt anything unusual, right? If you're injured, I have some emergency medicine here."

As he spoke, Abedo pulled out a golden bottle containing a red liquid from his coat and handed it over.

Ying did not reach out to take it, refusing the bottle of medicine.

Who knows if the effect of this potion is simply to restore physical strength?
