Chapter 113

Haravatat scholar Khedive Purshina looked at Zhi Qiong seriously and said word by word: "But now, I can discover that the erosion on your body has been paused, and even your vitality has been reversed."

"What exactly did you experience down in The Chasm?"

As he spoke, there was a look of fanaticism and excitement in the eyes of Haravatat scholar Khedive Purshina.

The thing he had been investigating all along had actually produced results; this made Khedive Purshina very excited.

You must know that after the anomaly occurred in The Chasm, he had negotiated with the Liyue side about it.

Although in principle the research results of the Akademiya could not be shared with the outside world, due to the tough stance of the Liyue side, he still made a compromise and agreed to cooperate with the local historical society of Liyue, and brought an exploration team deep into The Chasm.

But even going deep, it was not to come into contact with the black sludge substance.

Although nominally it was to study the changes in the biological community and ancient biological populations inside, the deeper purpose was actually to study and monitor the strange energy overflowing in The Chasm, as well as the impact of this energy on The Chasm.

And Khedive himself was not only a special investigative scholar for the Ministry of Civil Affairs but also the nominal leader of the exploration team, providing all the funds for the team's activities and serving as a scientific advisor.

In order to investigate the strange energy overflowing in The Chasm and its impact on ordinary people, he had been paying attention to adventurers.

In the past, Zhi Qiong had caught his eye.

Zhi Qiong was the person who had come into contact with the black sludge the most, and the vitality in her body had been eroded; this was irreversible.

The only thing he could do was to have Zhi Qiong avoid it as much as possible so that he could continue to observe the subsequent situation.

Because Zhi Qiong's situation was very similar to the symptoms of Eleazar in their Sumeru, but it was not Eleazar.

But Zhi Qiong wouldn't listen to him and kept wanting to go down into The Chasm to investigate.

He had no choice but to focus more attention on Zhi Qiong, preparing to see how deep the impact on Zhi Qiong would be as she continued to come into contact with the black sludge.

In his observation, Zhi Qiong's life was like the flame of a candle with only half a candle left.

That was an unstoppable burning; once it went out, she would die completely.

He had also investigated people in The Chasm who had come into contact with the black sludge in the past, and their ends were all miserable.

The better ones only had short-lived ability to act and recover until now.

The worse ones had already kicked the bucket.

He had even seen Zhi Qiong's complexion was very pale this morning, only it was masked by Zhi Qiong's spirit.

According to his guess, Zhi Qiong would definitely die on this trip, or rather, be on the verge of death.

As a result, after Zhi Qiong came out this time, her complexion was incredibly good.

The body eroded by the black sludge seemed to have been healed, making him perceive that the vitality in Zhi Qiong's body was very vigorous!

Although he didn't have a Vision, as a Sumeru Haravatat scholar, the spiritual techniques he practiced himself still allowed him to perceive it very clearly and feel Zhi Qiong's life.

Zhi Qiong's life now revealed vigorous vitality.

This made Khedive Purshina completely shocked.

If this kind of method were used on Eleazar, could it also be reversed?

Even if it couldn't cure Eleazar, it could greatly alleviate the time Eleazar patients survived.

Could even more vitality cure Eleazar!

This was a shocking discovery.

This was also the reason for Khedive Purshina's incoherent excitement.

Regarding Eleazar, every school in Sumeru had been researching it, but there had been no research results so far.

To be precise, there were research results, but none that were useful!

Now, this situation with Zhi Qiong was clearly caused by some factor.

If this factor were added to Eleazar patients, wouldn't it be able to curb Eleazar and cure Eleazar?

That would be a huge contribution!

It would be enough for him to be recorded in the annals of Sumeru scholars!

Thinking of this, Khedive Purshina was incredibly excited.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people in front of him and he had to consider the occasion, he would have already grabbed Zhi Qiong and asked her desperately.

"Uh..."

Hearing Khedive Purshina's words, Zhi Qiong scratched her head in distress: "A lot of things happened, but the specifics were all handled by Lord Lin Mo and Lady Yelan. If they don't say anything, I certainly can't say anything either."

She had so, so much she wanted to say.

But Lady Yelan was currently negotiating with Mu Ning, the commissioner of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and they were definitely discussing what happened below; she still couldn't speak for the time being.

"It has nothing to do with them."

Khedive Purshina shook his head: "I just want to know about your situation."

"Didn't you originally say that the more you come into contact with the black sludge environment, the more dizzy you would get? And even feel like you have no strength in your whole body?"

"You must have felt it when you went down this time, and even felt dizzy."

"Uh, yes."

Hearing Khedive Purshina's words, Zhi Qiong was stunned and nodded: "Yes, I was indeed dizzy at the beginning this time, and even uncomfortable, just like being carsick."

Zhi Qiong recalled the situation at that time.

After she mentioned it, Lin Mo patted her shoulder, and then she felt better.

She felt that this was what Khedive Purshina was talking about.

"You don't have a Vision and cannot use elemental energy or manipulate elemental energy, but you are close to the source of this black sludge, so you will slowly lose your cognition of the world and will rapidly weaken and die; this black sludge is harmful and fatal."

Khedive Purshina said in a deep voice: "It's not just you; for ordinary people like us, that's how it is. Only those who have a Vision and can mobilize elemental energy can avoid all this."

"This is also the reason why I wanted to stop you before."

"Now your body has gotten better, so there must be some factor that caused it."

"I want to know if you found anything down in The Chasm; I'm not interested in other things, I'm only interested in this."

He wanted to know why Zhi Qiong's body got better.

"So that's it."

And Zhi Qiong, hearing Khedive Purshina's words, looked suddenly enlightened.

According to what Khedive Purshina said, she was originally about to lose her life.

But because of Lin Mo, her body got better, which led to Khedive Purshina's attention.

Didn't this indirectly prove that Lin Mo was her savior?

For a moment, Zhi Qiong's face became happy.

That person actually had a life-saving grace toward her.

She hadn't even noticed it before, and Lin Mo hadn't mentioned such a thing either.

For a moment, Zhi Qiong's heart was filled with excitement toward Lin Mo.

"Actually, I didn't find anything."

Looking at Khedive Purshina who was blocking her path, Zhi Qiong scratched her head: "And it doesn't feel like something I can't talk about. I feel like the change in my body has something to do with Brother Lin Mo."

"Brother Lin Mo?"

Hearing Zhi Qiong's words, Khedive Purshina was stunned; who was this?

Was it the two people from The Chasm who went down with Zhi Qiong just now?

"I did experience what you said, but after Lin Mo patted me at that time, I felt my body was very comfortable."

Zhi Qiong scratched her head: "If you want to know, you can only ask Brother Lin Mo; I don't know the specifics either."

According to what Khedive Purshina said, Lin Mo was the one who treated her.

But at the time, Lin Mo didn't look like he was treating her.

He just simply patted her.

And she felt so, so good.

"Just patted you?"

Hearing Zhi Qiong's words, Khedive Purshina was stunned.

Just that simple?

Through Zhi Qiong's words, he had already set his sights on the Millelith soldier who could fly on a sword.

There were only two people who went down with Zhi Qiong just now, one man and one woman.

Zhi Qiong also said Brother Lin Mo, so it must be that Millelith soldier who could fly on a sword.

For a moment, Khedive Purshina fell into deep thought.

That person was clearly an elite member of the Liyue Ministry of Civil Affairs; if he went to ask, could he really get a result?

Especially since the other party was not ordinary, could fly on a sword, and was suspected to be an Anemo Vision holder.

Although he hadn't seen the other party's Anemo Vision either.

Liyue's attitude toward Sumeru wasn't very good.

Just for his trip to The Chasm, in principle, the research results of the Akademiya could not be shared with the outside world, but because of the tough stance of the Liyue side, he still made a compromise and was willing to share the research results.

This was Liyue's toughness.

If he went to find that person again to understand this situation, the other party would probably not tell him even if they knew.

"But how will I know if I don't try?"

The next second, Khedive Purshina gritted his teeth and decided to continue to find Lin Mo.

For him, being able to understand this black sludge more, and even the means to heal people, would definitely have an effect if used on Eleazar patients.

So Khedive Purshina had to go.

If it could really be cured, then he would invite this person to take a trip to Sumeru to see if they could cure Eleazar patients.

The strange energy of Eleazar and the energy aura emitted by this black sludge had a similar, very similar aura.

Their Sumeru research institutes and various schools had been researching this all along.

Now that this opportunity had appeared, he, Khedive Purshina, could not give it up.

Thinking of this, Khedive Purshina decisively headed toward the place where Lin Mo, Yelan, and Mu Ning had left.

The top priority was to understand this situation first.
