Catherine, who was wearing a maid-style dress, folded her hands in front of her belly, smiled elegantly like a lady and said:
"Towards the stars and the abyss! Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild!"
"We meet again, Miss Catherine. Do you have any important commission today?" Li Qiuzhi smiled and asked.
"Mr. Adventurer, are you planning to go on an adventure with Miss Fischl? Well, in that case, there are several Ruins Guards wandering around Mingguan Gorge. With your strength, you should be able to easily deal with them!"
Catherine looked at the two of them, thought for a moment and said.
"Ruins Guard?"
Li Qiuzhi was a little interested, but it might be too dangerous to take Irene with him. After all, she was going there to gain experience, not to get beaten.
If the guarding of the ruins was left to the two of them, and Irene just hid aside and watched, it would be too uninvolved, and it would not be worth the commission they wanted to collect.
And it was all saved up from people's pocket money over time.
"Ms. Catherine, today we are going to take an inexperienced junior on an adventure together. We hope to take on a commission that is a little challenging but not too difficult."
Li Qiuzhi thought for a while and then explained.
"I see. Mr. Adventurer, you have only been registered with the Association for a short time. I didn't expect you to grow so fast and already be able to bring your juniors on adventures with you!"
Catherine said with a little emotion.
"Haha, Miss Catherine, you're joking. I'm still far behind other adventurers."
Li Qiuzhi said modestly, somewhat embarrassedly.
"Mr. Adventurer's recent outstanding performance has spread within the Adventurer's Association. I think you will soon become a well-known adventurer."
Catherine smiled demurely, then put away her smile and continued:
"Just now, news came that a collection team's cargo was robbed by a group of hillbillies at the Falling Star Valley beach. Even the hot air balloon that was transporting it was stolen.
"Ms. Fischl has excellent investigative skills. I think it will be easy for her to find the group of hillbillies. How about we give this commission to you?"
After listening to what Catherine said, Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly.
This commission is indeed quite suitable for them. Generally speaking, some weak ordinary hillbillies are not even as good as ordinary people, which is just right for Irene to practice.
And with him and Fischer around, unexpected situations can be prevented.
"This princess also thinks there is no problem, so please accept this commission!"
Fischl, who had long hair that looked like falling golden hair, nodded slightly in agreement.
After a while, Li Qiuzhi saw Irene coming to the Adventurer's Association with an adventure backpack, and behind her was a middle-aged man with a beard.
"Hey, sorry to have kept you waiting." Irene said with a smile, then looked at the middle-aged man behind her and said, "This is my dad. He's a bit fussy and insisted on coming over to see you off."
"Hello!" Li Qiuzhi greeted politely.
"Oh! Mr. Herman, it turns out that Miss Irene is your daughter!" said Oz the Night Crow with some surprise.
Fischl and Oz were in the Adventurer's Guild and knew him a little.
".Hey, hello." Herman scratched his head awkwardly. "Well, Irene insisted on going out to experience the wild, and I couldn't persuade her. So please take care of her!"
He still has great faith in Fischl, the strange girl who possesses the Eye of God, and he also has the reliable Night Crow Oz.
As for the young man from Liyue.
Hermann looked at Li Qiuzhi, and with his intuition as a former adventurer, he could feel that this young man was quite powerful!
Chapter 92: Hill People Camp
Hermann held Irene's hand and gave her a lot of instructions. When Irene couldn't stand it anymore and ran out of the city gate, Li Qiuzhi and Fischl were able to set off together.
Only Hermann was left looking at the figures and sighing.
The next distance they need to travel is quite long. The place where the gathering team was robbed by the Hillichels is located at the outermost part of the Falling Star Valley, close to the beach.
Along the way you have to pass through the Whispering Forest, Starfall Lake, and then walk a long distance to get there.
Because the real continent of Teyvat is much larger than the reduced version of the map in the game, it generally takes most of the day to walk there.
If the commission goes smoothly, you can get back before dark. If you encounter trouble, you can only camp in the wild, which is also the norm for adventurers.
There were people coming and going on the Mond Bridge, as well as many horse-drawn carriages carrying goods.
In order to avoid blocking others, Li Qiuzhi and his colleagues leaned to one side, with their employer Irene leading the way and walking in front. A group of white pigeons landed on the stone guardrail of the bridge.
The birds swallowed the grains scattered on the ground one bite at a time with precision - a little boy was feeding them.
As they approached recklessly, the pigeons became alert and were scared away in advance, which eventually led to the little boy glaring at them!
The three of them smiled and apologized politely.
After crossing the Mond Bridge and continuing along the main road, the short boots of the two girls in front of me stepped on the ground, slightly raising a little dust.
The asymmetrical black stockings that Fischl wore slightly revealed the white skin of her legs, making them look more secretive and hazy than Irene, who wore shorts with her legs exposed.
Since they were on the main road, they passed through the Whispering Forest without encountering any monsters, but they did find two small ice slimes in Starfall Lake.
Although they are both small in size, I always feel that the ice slime is a little stronger than the water slime.
When he first came here, he might not have dared to attack the ice slime if he encountered it, after all, its ice elemental body was too cold.
If you attack with your bare hands without any weapons, you might get frostbite.
The same goes for Fire Slime and Thunder Slime, while Rock Slime seems to be tougher, and Grass Slime can burrow underground. Thinking about it this way, it seems that only Water Slime is relatively easier to bully.
Li Qiuzhi glanced at Irene who was eager to try, and said with a smile: "How about it, do you want to try it?"
"Okay, please let me handle it!" Irene replied firmly.
The sword she wore around her waist at this moment was no longer a wooden training sword, but a bladeless sword like the one Li Qiuzhi had. The reason why this type of sword was so popular was probably because it was durable and quite cheap at the same time.
"Miss Irene, just go ahead and do it. We will help you pay attention to your surroundings." said Oz as he flapped his wings of night.
"Ah."
Irene drew the edgeless sword from its scabbard and walked cautiously towards the two ice slimes in the lake. When she got within a certain distance, she indeed aroused their hostility.
It jumped over here, and with every leap and drop, part of the lake surface beneath it was frozen.
Irene's move was very smart. She didn't get close to the water to fight them. Instead, she retreated step by step to lure them back to the land.
It seems that Hermann has taught his daughter the experience and skills to deal with common monsters.
Elemental creatures like slimes definitely have a greater advantage in water than humans. After all, once Irene gets wet, she will be easily frozen by the ice slime.
Therefore, it is important to choose a combat environment that suits you.
Irene has an adventurer father, and she may know more about various adventurous experiences and knowledge than Li Qiuzhi, but she lacks some practical experience.
Therefore, Irene didn't need any instructions from him and Fischl in this battle. She just kept a sufficient distance from the two small ice slimes and used the advantages of her weapon, dodging and moving around to easily defeat them one by one.
From every swing and stabbing of the sword, it can be seen that her foundation is very solid and her hard work every day has not gone to waste.
Looking at the two ice slimes that she defeated entirely by herself, Irene said with an excited smile on her face:
"Look, Li Qiuzhi, Miss Fischl, and Mr. Crow! I successfully defeated them!"
"Hehe~ Not bad!" Fischl lifted up her golden hair with her hand, and the snow-white ears hidden in it were vaguely revealed.
"Miss Irene not only has extraordinary courage, but also has agile skills. I believe that in the near future, she will become an excellent knight who protects Mondstadt!"
Oz the Night Crow praised generously.
"Hehe... Of course, my dream is to one day fight alongside an excellent knight like Captain Jean!"
Irene gained great satisfaction.
"It's much better than the first time I met slime! Hmm...Okay, collect the dropped slime gel and let's continue on our journey."
Li Qiuzhi's treatment of Irene was much more decisive than when he dealt with the water slime.
At least I didn't get into a mess.
"Yeah. Let's go!" Irene nodded happily.
[Irene develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 60 points of favorable impression. The current favorable impression level is Lv.1 (60/100)]
……
When the three of them left Xingluo Lake and continued along the main road to the location where the gathering team was robbed by the Hillilians, it was already noon, and two members of the gathering team were still waiting there.
"Are you the adventurers who accepted the commission?" Two members of the gathering team hurried over and asked.
"Yes, gentlemen, what is the situation now?"
The Night Crow Oz nodded and said while flying in mid-air.
The commission form in Li Qiuzhi's hands simply stated that in the morning, a collection team encountered a robbery led by a Hilliard thug and five ordinary Hilliard people near the beach in the Falling Star Valley.
Then the people of the collection team used carrier pigeons to post commissions to adventurers. By the time Li Qiuzhi and his team came here, it had been almost half a day. No one knew what the situation was now.
"Hoo, you're finally here!" said one of the members of the gathering team. "In order to avoid getting lost, our captain has already followed the trail of the hillbillies and found their camp. Come with me!"
"Oh? You've found it already? It seems we are quite lucky. I thought we needed to come over to look for it."
Li Qiuzhi seemed a little surprised by this.
"Well, our captain used to be an adventurer, but he encountered too many Hillilks, and there was also a Hillilk thug. Otherwise, they would never have been able to snatch the specialties and wild fruits we collected from us!"
Another member of the collection team said somewhat angrily.
Although the job of collecting in the wild is not as dangerous as that of an adventurer, you still need to have some force, otherwise it will be very troublesome if you encounter monsters suddenly.
"Hehe~ In that case, please lead the way for this princess and her attendants!" Fischl said, with her hands on her waist and her white chin slightly raised.
I've been a bit busy lately, and the author is slow at typing. I'll make up for the missed or extra chapters later, please forgive me! (T_T)
Chapter 93 Trial
"."
The two members of the collection team looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed and not knowing how to respond to the words of this strange girl.
After all, they had never met anyone who called himself that, so they could only ignore him and say:
"Please come with us!"
There were obvious traces of a fight on the ground of the main road. It should be that the members of the collection team felt that they could not win, so they wisely chose to give in to avoid injury.
The hill people stole the goods and seemed to be walking along the side of the woods, leaving their footprints on the ground.
Two members of the collection team took Li Qiuzhi and the other two and followed the footprints.
While understanding the course of the battle with the gathering team, Fischl also asked Ozfell to scout ahead and provide warnings to prevent an ambush by monsters.
After all, the Qiuqiu people still have a certain degree of wisdom.
The sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the trees, forming nearly vertical rays of light, which, together with the shadows of the trees, fell on several people in the team.
Her soft, white skin was slightly exposed under the black leather straps of Fischer's asymmetrical stockings, and the brightness seemed to be adjustable. As her legs swung, sunlight and shade kept alternating on her.
About ten minutes later, they finally saw a strong middle-aged man squatting in the bushes at the end of the woods and looking outside.
"Captain, we are here!" the members of the collection team whispered to the man.
The leader of the collection team turned around, made a "hush" gesture with his mouth, then pointed outside and said softly:
"The camp of the Hillilians is ahead, be careful not to attract their attention!"
Li Qiuzhi and the other two glanced past the bushes and looked outside, and found that not far away there was a simple shed built with wood and leaves.
Outside the shed.
A Hill Culver thug was lying leisurely on a hot air balloon that was looted and filled with collected items, with a large axe with a red-blade next to him.
It looks like it is the leader of this group of hillbillies.
The other Hillichul people hung up a big pot and put a small fire slime caught from somewhere under the pot, using it as a fire source to heat it.
Then put all the looted wild fruits and captured frogs and mice into the pot and stew them all.
Since the ingredients were probably not washed, the pot looked a bit turbid, which really made people lose their appetite for several days.
"What a waste! What a waste!!"
The leader of the gathering team was really annoyed when he saw the food he had collected with great effort being cooked in this way.
