Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

After returning from the tour of the seven countries, Nan Dou was telling Ou Ya about what he had seen along the way, and a pretty little girl was pouring tea for the two of them.

By now, who knows how many groups of people have changed in the Eurasian Garden. If we count by seniority, the first human girl who entered the Eurasian Garden should be the little girl's great-great-grandmother.

Human life is still too short. Even if living near the Tree of Life, humans without special talents can only live safely to around 150 years old at most.

"It seems that the other earthly rulers have their own thoughts and may not be so loyal to Sky Island."

Nan Dou observed Ou Ya's expression and found that she didn't seem to care much, and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Ou Ya had expected Nan Dou to ask this question: "It doesn't matter. The Abyss Will will come out of the Abyss sooner or later. When that time comes, they will do their best to protect their country."

"This is a fair deal. They all knew it when they became the seven rulers of the world."

"Sky Island will not interfere too much in how they govern their country. It doesn't matter if they rebel, as long as they have the ability to withstand the judgment of Sky Island."

Nan Dou was completely speechless. This is absolute self-confidence. You can do whatever you want. I'll just watch from above. But if you want to resist me, I'm sorry, I will let you know what absolute authority is!

After chatting with Ou Ya for a while, the little girl who had just poured tea for the two of them suddenly said, "Master Nan Dou, someone is looking for you."

Nan Dou was a little curious. He had been very free recently, and Morax and his people were busy with Liyue Harbor affairs and rarely came to see him. So who was that person?

"What else did the person who came to see me say?"

Nandou asked subconsciously.

"The person who came to see Lord Nan Dou also said that he hoped to meet with Lord Nan Dou alone."

Nandou glanced at Ou Ya and found that she didn't move, so he shrugged and said, "I'll go see what's going on. Why is it so mysterious?"

"Go ahead." Ou Ya waved her hand. Wasn't it obvious that the other party didn't want her to hear it? But Ou Ya didn't care.

Nan Dou stood up, feeling amused, with Ou Ya's soul strength, nothing in the entire Flower Valley could be hidden from her, he only said that out of politeness.

Because of Ou Ya, Nan Dou would not release his soul power when he was in Huagu, to show respect to her.

But even so, he could easily sense from a few hundred meters away that the person who came specifically to look for him was a human, and an acquaintance.

"Ikaros, you came to me because you encountered a bottleneck in your scientific research?"

Nan Dou narrowed his eyes slightly, and had some vague guesses in his mind based on the other party's past experiences.

The researcher named Ikaros is a middle-aged man in his thirties, bald and thin.

After being questioned by Nan Dou, Ikaros' body couldn't help but tremble, his face changed rapidly, and he seemed hesitant.

But in the end, Ikaros clenched his fists and said with determination: "Lord Nandou, I want to leave Liyue!"

Hearing Ikaros' words, Nan Dou was not too surprised and asked calmly: "Give me a reason."

Seeing that Nan Dou was not as furious as he had imagined, Ikaros relaxed a lot, slowly loosened his clenched fists, and slowly spoke...

After a long time, Nan Dou fell into silence for the first time in a long time, and was also reflecting.

During the development of Liyue, Nan Dou always paid attention to all aspects, but in the end he did not expect that he would fail in the aspect of people's hearts.

As mentioned earlier, in order to make Liyue's technological development closely related to Teyvat, Nandou has always emphasized that the development of technology cannot be separated from elemental power.

It sounds like there is no problem, but the problem has been brewing since this sentence appeared. A few hundred years is enough for this problem to become serious to a certain extent.

In this world line, humans also have the opportunity to comprehend elemental power through their own talents, not to mention the appearance of the Eye of God after the seven rulers of the world take office.

So the question is, as scientific researchers, we all possess wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people.

But when the research requires elemental power, others can be self-sufficient, but you need to ask for help from others. They are all busy with research and no one has the time to help you.

If you request someone outside the institute, not only will it require multiple levels of approval, but the efficiency will also not be at the same level.

Over time, the positions of senior researchers were occupied by those who were naturally gifted in elemental power, and they formed a small circle that excluded those researchers without elemental power.

No matter how outstanding your scientific talent is or how smart your mind is, you cannot use elemental power.

Nan Dou had never thought of this, as he only considered scientific research itself but did not notice the problems arising from human relationships.

Ikaros became so oppressed that he could no longer bear it, so he came to Nandou as a representative and asked to leave the Liyue Research Institute.

It’s no wonder that Nandou remained silent, because after leaving Liyue, Ikaros and a group of researchers with the same situation wanted to go to... Kanria.

I don’t know where they heard the news about Kanreya, a country without gods, a country that relies on the wisdom of mortals. Isn’t this what they have always dreamed of?

The founding time of Kanreya was actually a long time ago, maybe even before the Demon War. At the very least, it existed between 2600 and 3000 years when the game plot began, when the ancient snow mountain country still existed.

Unlike the demons that compete on the surface, Kanreya is known to be built underground, at a terrifying depth, as deep as the underground mining area of ​​the Layered Abyss. Monsters and machines from Kanreya can still emerge from its bottom. The currently known range includes the underground parts of Liyue and Mondstadt.

By the time of Nan Dou, Kanreya had actually been developing secretly for thousands of years, and it was unknown to what extent its technological level had advanced.

But in the end, Nan Dou decided to let them go.

"Ikaros, take this thing. I will have several Yaksha warriors escort you to Kanreya on the way."

"Remember to always wear this thing on you. When you encounter danger that you cannot handle, hold it and call my name, and I will come at that time."

Ikaros put the necklace that Nandou handed to him on his neck and held it tightly. He was extremely moved by Nandou's kindness. After taking a deep breath to regain his composure, he said solemnly: "Lord Nandou, your great kindness will be remembered by my people for generations to come!"

Nandou just waved his hand gently and turned away: "Liyue is sorry for you. I hope you will never need it..."
