Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

The vast majority of monster-clearing commissions can be summarized in a few sentences.

For example, "some ruins guards who shouldn't be there are wandering around in areas where they shouldn't be."

With just a few words, the Traveler and Paimon began their investigation along the mountain. Following the huge footprints left by the guards of the ruins on the hillside, Yingmei went deeper and deeper into the hinterland of Tianheng Mountain.

Tracking is not a difficult task for an adventurer like her, but the ruins guards are indeed not easy to deal with. The four ruins guards in the Guyun Pavilion area that can be activated at the same time are impressive enough. For the Qianyan Army, who do not have the Eye of God and only know some martial arts, they are even more of a difficult problem.

However, Paimon, who was used to seeing the travelers taking care of their enemies with ease, always regarded these machines as guardians of treasures.

Since you want to get the treasure, it's only natural to fight with the guardian, right?

It’s a pity that this commission has nothing to do with treasure, and even vaguely reveals a sense of conspiracy.

Just as the travelers were following the trail of the ruins guards and preparing to head from Dunyu Mausoleum to Luhua Pond, the Qianyan Army patrolling on the distant hillside hurried over and stopped the two.

"Be careful, traveler. It's not a good time for sightseeing recently. The General Affairs Department has received multiple reports of sightings of ruins guards nearby. For your safety, you'd better leave here as soon as possible."

The soldier who stopped the traveler was named Dai Pai. He held an axe in his hand and warned the travelers in a serious manner to stay away from the area. However, Paimon Paimon suddenly got confused and pointed at Yingmei, proudly revealing his identity.

"Hey, which traveler are you talking about? The one in front of you is the great hero who just saved Liyue Harbor from crisis, as well as the great hero's most capable assistant and the best guide, Paimon!"

The traveler cooperated with Paimon's game helplessly and amusedly, and nodded proudly: "It's me."

Dai Pai looked the two of them up and down, as if trying to confirm whether they were the "legendary blonde traveler and white flying object guide." When he found that their features matched, he immediately stood at attention and saluted them.

"So it really is you two! I was blind and didn't recognize you."

After confirming the identities of the two, Dai Pai was not at all dissatisfied with Paimon's arrogant tone. Instead, he sincerely apologized to the two and even took out a document with the Adventurer's Association emblem from his arms with a little surprise:
"My name is Dai Pai, and I'm a member of the Qianyan Army patrolling the Dunyu Mausoleum. The General Affairs Department said that there will be adventurers coming to help clear out the wandering ruins guards, so I guess that will be you two, right?"

"Eh, is it such a coincidence?"

Paimon opened the adventurer's manual to check, and was surprised to find that the person he was tasked with contacting was indeed the young man in front of him.

The traveler subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a moment. He could only look at Paimon and ask about the matter: "Then why did these ruins guards suddenly appear in this area?"

The Adventurer's Handbook contains a basic introduction to each hostile creature, and machines like Ruin Guards usually only exist underground or deep in certain ruins. Although they occasionally appear on the surface, they also patrol ancient ruins that are rarely visited by people.

Tianheng Mountain is a mountain range that has existed since the beginning of Guili Ji and has long been developed by the Liyue people. It stands to reason that it is unlikely that there will be any ruins guards left.

"Coach Fengyan sent people to track down the source of these ancient machines and found that they seemed to emerge from a mine somewhere in the mountains. The mine was dark and eerie, and there were occasional clacking sounds coming from inside... The coach didn't allow us to get close without permission, so we didn't get much information. In addition, in order to prevent ordinary people from being affected, we also increased patrols."

Dai Pai shook his head helplessly. Liyue Harbor had experienced previous turmoil, and many Thousand Rock Army soldiers had been transferred back to the port to strengthen vigilance and stabilize the situation. The size of their patrolling Thousand Rock Army had also been reduced a lot, so that they were helpless against many monsters in the wild and could only seek help from adventurers.

But for travelers who have been adventuring in the wild for a long time, dealing with a few ruins guards is just a piece of cake. Moreover, once they have accepted the commission, they naturally have to do their best to complete it.

"Where is the mine?"

Yingmei drew out her sword with great enthusiasm, and Dai Pai also cooperated and pointed out the direction:
"Just follow the footprints of the ruins guards on the hillside, but I was busy warning passers-by nearby and didn't have time to investigate..." Perhaps it was the habit of the Thousand Rocks Army to protect the people, so after pointing out the direction, Dai Pai repeatedly reminded the travelers and Paimon to be careful.

"I fully recognize your abilities, but please act within your capabilities. If I put you in danger, it would be more trouble than it's worth."

Paimon didn't care about that. He patted his chest and vouched for Yingmei: "The Traveler is a very capable fighter. Don't worry."

"that would be great."

Dai Pai seemed to be infected by Paimeng's enthusiasm. He breathed a sigh of relief and saluted the two again: "A thousand rocks are solid and a mountain is immovable! Salute to you, traveler. After I finish this patrol and evacuate the people around, I will come to meet you."

After the three of them parted ways, the traveler followed the direction indicated by Dai Pai. The traveler and Paimon soon saw a ruins guard wandering aimlessly.

"The rock tide stacks up the mountains!"

The traveler held a long sword in his hand and skillfully stepped on the ground with his heels to activate the rock elements in the land, causing a spreading shock wave that knocked the lone ruins guard to the ground. He then flew over and pierced the core of the ruins with his sword, landing gracefully on the ground.

"Huh... You solved it so quickly, you are worthy of me!"

Paimon was shocked by Yingmei's smooth movements. When the battle started, she wanted to find a place to hide, but she didn't expect that the traveler, who had experienced many difficult battles, could easily deal with the ruins guards.

"Let's continue to wander around. There may be other ruins guarding them."

Paimon pointed in the direction where the footprints appeared. After turning a few corners on the mountain road, the traveler soon found a ruins guard behind the boulder. Only when she went around the side of the machine did she discover that there was a little boy wearing a strange hat standing in front of the ruins guard.

"careful!"

The traveler wanted to ask the little boy to stay away, but soon found that the Ruins Guardian showed no signs of being started. The little boy was still bending over to observe the various parts of the Ruins Guardian, as if he was not looking at a horrible killing machine, but a novel toy.

"Hey, it's a kid dressed in strange clothes..."

Paimon whispered quietly into the traveler's ear.

As Paimon said, Yingmei rarely sees children dressed like this in Liyue, especially the hat on his head that looks warm.

The climate in the harbor is warm and humid, and almost no one in Liyue wears a hat. Only people like Yan Fei and Hu Tao who are always working will wear a fixed hat. Not to mention that this kid's hat does not seem to be related to his profession. It is probably just some kind of tool for keeping warm.

The weather in Liyue is pretty good today. Won’t it be hot wearing so many clothes?
Remembering that Dai Pai had mentioned the task of evacuating residents, Yingmei decided to take the child away first. After all, no one knew whether the guards of the ruins would suddenly move.

The little boy also noticed the arrival of the Traveler and Paimon, and he was not afraid of strangers at all. He pointed directly at the ruins guard, waved at Yingmei, and jumped happily, just like a naughty child:

"Sister, look!"

"This one-eyed little treasure is so big and majestic!" (End of this chapter)
