At this moment, the light of wind element suddenly appeared on Ying's hand.
The giant dragon in the distance seemed to have sensed it at this moment, and suddenly became irritable. It roared, raised a claw and smashed it heavily at the young man.
"Be careful!" Xing's pupils shrank, and his body subconsciously summoned his baseball bat. He rushed to the front of the boy in green clothes and blocked the attack for him.
The young man in green looked at Xing with some surprise, and was obviously surprised by her appearance.
But the current situation did not allow him to stop and say hello.
He took another look at the blonde girl in the distance, and while no one was paying attention, the boy in green turned into a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot.
After being blocked by Xing, the dragon had no intention of continuing the fight. It flapped its wings, raised a large amount of dust, flew into the sky, and then disappeared.
Chapter 4: Impure Purpose
"Cough... cough..." Xing covered his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling too much sand and dust.
"Xing! Are you okay?!" The blonde girl hurried to Xing's side, took Xing's hand, and anxiously checked her physical condition.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xing shook her head.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but Xing always felt that Ying seemed to have pinched her on purpose just now.
Moreover, she always felt that her nervous attitude was a little strange.
We've only just met, it doesn't seem like it's been that long...
"Are you really okay?" Ying asked worriedly.
"It's okay. That didn't hurt me at all." Xing smiled confidently.
Although in fact, the force just now was very strong, Xing only felt that the base of her palm where she was holding the baseball bat was still numb, but how could she say that she was not capable in front of the beautiful girl?
"But what exactly happened?" Xing didn't quite understand why the dragon, who had been so friendly with the green-clothed boy just now, suddenly changed his expression.
Everything seemed to have changed since the wind element appeared on Ying's body.
Could it be that the wind element in Ying's body stimulated the dragon?
"Wow, that was a close call. I was almost blown away. Luckily I grabbed your hair." Paimon said with lingering fear.
"You almost pulled my scalp off." Ying rolled her eyes at her speechlessly.
"What on earth was that weird guy who was talking to the dragon just now..." Ignoring Ying's complaints, Paimon stroked his chin and thought about what happened just now.
"Um, is it normal to talk to dragons in this world?" Xing asked, raising his hand curiously.
Ying also looked at Paimeng. Although she came to this world earlier than Xing, she had been wandering around for such a long time, and her understanding of this world might not be much more than Xing.
"Of course it's not normal. It's not that easy to see a dragon... Eh? What is that?" Paimon just noticed that there was a crystal shining red left where the dragon originally was.
"Let's go and take a look." Ying suggested.
"Be careful, it gives me a bad feeling..." Paimon warned.
Several people walked towards the crystal.
"Paimon, do you know what this is?" Xing frowned slightly. She had never seen anything like this before. It looked like a tear, but the stone gave off a smell that she didn't like very much.
It seems that I am instinctively rejecting this thing.
"I haven't seen it either, so I can't be sure what it is." Paimon shook his head.
"No matter what, it's better to keep such a dangerous thing for now."
Paimon seemed to have some kind of magical ability. Before Xing could react, he had already collected all the red crystals in front of him.
"Okay, let's get out of here!"
"Ah."
-----------------------------
The few of them continued on their journey to Mondstadt. For a long time afterwards, no strange incidents occurred. They chatted with Ying casually along the way, and time passed quickly.
When they were not far from Mondstadt and could even vaguely see the city wall, they suddenly heard a call from behind.
"Hey, you guys! Wait a minute!"
The three of them turned around with some confusion, and they saw a nimble red figure approaching them, then leaped from the slope above and landed directly in front of the two of them.
And he used a roll to relieve the impact of landing beautifully.
Seeing this, Xing couldn't help but applaud her.
Full score!
"May the wind god protect you, stranger!" The girl with long black hair, wearing a red dress, and a hair accessory that looks like rabbit ears on her head.
Is this a red headscarf or a headband? It looks soft and I want to rub it.
"I'm Amber, the scout knight of the Knights of Favonius." The girl didn't notice Xing's rude look and performed a Mondstadt knight's salute to both of them.
"You are not citizens of Mondstadt, are you? Then please state your identities and purpose of coming...." Amber's words gradually became stuck.
Because her sight just moved to Xing, and Xing's eyes were still looking at her without blinking, steam suddenly rose from Amber's face.
"Calm down, we are not suspicious people--" Paimon said quickly.
"Ahem, but, that's what all suspicious persons say. However, it's still possible that this young lady isn't a suspicious person..." Amber pretended to cough a few times and averted her gaze from Xing.
The last sentence was spoken very softly, and no one heard it even though they were so close.
"Hello, I'm Ying."
"I am a star."
"It doesn't sound like a local name. Are you from the same place?" Amber asked Ying curiously.
She was a little afraid to look at the stars, otherwise she always felt that she would lose her composure.
"No, why do you ask?" Xing said puzzledly.
"Because your names are all single words."
"This is just a coincidence." Ying explained.
You should ask Mihoyo why they always give their heroines a single-word name.
"So, you are travelers, right? Then what's the matter with this...mascot beside you?" Amber's gaze shifted to Paimon again.
She had never seen a creature like this before, one that could talk, had a human form, and was so small.
However, Teyvat is so big that there are all kinds of wonders, so she didn't care too much about it.
"She is emergency food." Xing subconsciously said what Ying wanted to say first.
"That's totally wrong! How come you also learned bad things from Ying? It's only been a short time!" Paimon stomped his feet in the air angrily.
Ying always joked about emergency food at the beginning, and now even Xing, who she has only known for a short time, says the same thing.
……
Wait! Are they really treating themselves as emergency food? ?
"Ahem. Anyway, there's a giant dragon appearing near Mondstadt recently. If you want to enter the city, you'd better hurry up." Amber said, secretly glancing at Xing.
"This place is not far from Mondstadt. As a knight, I will escort you there." Amber patted his small chest.
For some reason, Xing always felt that Amber seemed to be looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Moreover, why did the tone of his words just now sound strange, as if he felt guilty.
Could it be that she said she was escorting us into the city, but in fact she had some impure motives...
There was a hint of vigilance in Xing's eyes as he looked at the girl.
Chapter 5: Inside the City
"I didn't expect that you are not ordinary passers-by without any fighting ability." Amber looked at Xing who was swinging a baseball bat and was a little stunned.
Although she didn't know what the strange stick in Xing's hand was, the other party's heroic figure rushing into the crowd of people on the hills was deeply imprinted in her mind.
Xing doesn't have the Eye of God, and he didn't use elemental power just now. He was just simply hitting with the stick.
Even though the fighting power of these hillbillies is not strong, for ordinary people like Xing, this kind of strength and courage is already very commendable.
Well, I like it very much...
"?"
Xing tilted his head in confusion. After Amber finished speaking, he began to daydream and no one knew what he was thinking.
This situation seemed to have happened more than once or twice. When she talked to Amber just now, Amber was always like this.
At the beginning, she suspected that this girl had some impure purpose, but now it seems...is she just not smart enough?
"Speaking of which, why are the Hilichurls here? These creatures generally wouldn't set up camp so close to the city, right?" Paimon suddenly asked.
"It should be the impact of the dragon disaster. Because Wind Dragons appear frequently, the Knights have to be distracted to defend, so the range of these guys' activities is getting closer and closer." Amber came back to her senses and explained to Paimon.
"Dragon disaster." Xing recalled the giant dragon he saw this morning.
The so-called dragon disaster should be caused by it.
Thinking back now, she still felt her palms slightly numb. The force of that guy's claw was really great.
He is a very tough opponent.
"Speaking of which, Amber." Xing suddenly thought of something and looked at Amber: "You said that the things dropped by the hillbillies can be exchanged for money, right?"
They had just cleared out the Hillilks' camp and dropped a lot of loot.
There were some broken masks and some arrows and stuff.
Although they seemed worthless, Amber collected them carefully.
"Well, some things can be used as materials for alchemy, so they can be sold...but generally speaking the purchase price won't be very high." Amber nodded.
"Oh, I see..." Xing rubbed her head. She had thought about the issue of money today.
After all, she had just come into this world and was penniless.
I can't think about money issues after I enter the city today.
"Miss Xing, are you short of money?" Amber looked at Xing puzzledly.
In her opinion, since Xing was a wandering traveler, he should have some money on him.
Otherwise, how did she sustain herself on her journey?
"Just call me Xing. After all, we always have to consider ways to make money." Xing touched his head embarrassedly.
Amber didn't realize that she had only been in this world for two days. Not to mention money, she didn't even know what the currency of this world looked like.
"Actually, Xingxiao... Xing, I can take care of you while you're in Mond." Amber said awkwardly.
"Ah? Um, thank you..." Xing always felt that Amber's expression and words were weird.
However, Ying, who was standing aside, looked at Amber with a thoughtful look.
"Well, anyway, follow me. I, a good and responsible knight, will escort you into the city."
--------------
Mondstadt is surrounded by wine lakes on all sides, with only a stone bridge connecting it to the outside world.
What appeared in front of Xing was a city wall that was like a natural moat, towering into the clouds.
Two knights in uniform were guarding the city gate. When they saw Amber, they greeted them.
Probably because of Amber, the two of them didn't question Ying and Xing too much. They just asked about their origins and then said, "Welcome to Mondstadt, respectable stranger."
"Allow me to formally introduce you. This is the pastoral city of wind and dandelions, the city of freedom. Travelers blessed by the Knights of Favonius, welcome to Dumond City!"
"That's great! Finally we don't have to sleep in the wilderness!" Paimon said excitedly.
"Yes, that's great." Ying also nodded with deep emotion.
