Fischl turned her head and saw that it was indeed that unlucky fellow.
"Oh? It's Bennett!"
Venti also spotted Bennett and waved, greeting him, "Hello, Bennett, have you finished your commission too—"
Before he could finish, Venti noticed something was amiss.
Bennett was holding a longsword and running quickly in their direction.
And behind Bennett were several missiles!
"Hey, Bennett, wait!"
Seeing the situation was bad, Venti also turned and ran.
Fischl, prompted by Oz, also started running.
"Fischl, Venti, why are you two here too?"
"That's what we should be asking you!"
"Damn it, you, who are naturally cursed with bad luck, have brought danger to this Prinzessin!"
The three of them even managed to chat while fleeing.
Bennett looked back at the incoming missiles and immediately infused his weapon with Pyro element power.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one will get hurt!"
When the longsword, imbued with the power of the Pyro element, collided with the missile, a violent explosion erupted.
Under the powerful impact, Bennett was also sent flying.
It was then that Fischl and Venti clearly saw that it was a Ruin Hunter!
Unlike ordinary Ruin Guards, Ruin Hunters have greatly enhanced mobility and offensive capabilities.
The most fatal thing was that it could fly!
So even if Bennett wanted to deal with it, he was powerless and could only take a beating.
After chasing for so long, the Ruin Hunter seemed to be enraged.
It suddenly stopped in mid-air, and its form also changed.
The cannon barrels on its back continuously moved, covering a large area with firepower.
"Oh no, I saw this in the Adventurer's Handbook! This is the Ruin Hunter's strongest move; it won't stop until it kills its enemy!"
Fischl panicked; it was her first time encountering such a situation.
"Th-th-this... what should we do?"
Bennett scratched his head, truly unable to think of a way to deal with it.
As the Ruin Hunter's area bombardment was about to fall, Fischl fearfully closed her eyes.
"It's over, is this Prinzessin going to die here...?"
But strangely, the imagined explosion did not sound.
Fischl slowly opened her eyes and found that the Ruin Hunter had stopped moving, as if it had short-circuited.
With a "rumble," it fell to the ground, and the light from its core extinguished.
Bennett was also confused, scratching his head and saying, "Uh, is it broken?"
"Mm-hmm, you must be broken, you're not moving at all!"
Venti walked over and patted the Ruin Hunter, not scared at all.
"How strange, my luck has actually become this good..."
Bennett was somewhat puzzled; logically speaking, in this situation, he would definitely get injured and then run away in a sorry state.
It was truly the first time he had encountered a situation like today where the crisis was resolved without much injury.
"Cough!"
After the crisis was resolved, Fischl reverted to her chuunibyou persona: "It must be due to the blessing of this Prinzessin's destiny; these monsters simply dare not harm me!"
Unfortunately, neither of them noticed that the moment the Ruin Hunter made its move, Venti's small braid lit up.
A wind blade, too fast to be detected, directly pierced the Ruin Hunter's core.
Therefore, Barbatos is the most reliable when there is danger.
And when there is no danger, Barbatos is the most unreliable.
Bennett suddenly thought of something and happily said, "But speaking of which, Ruin Hunter parts are very valuable. How about we exchange them for Mora and split it?"
"I don't need the Mora. How about you treat me to two cups of Dandelion Wine?" Venti was not at all polite.
What about the Anemo Archon? Can't the Anemo Archon sponge drinks off his own citizens?
Surely no one has stipulated that!
Just as the three were discussing, another figure suddenly appeared.
But the speed was extremely fast, like a cannonball.
"Oh no, there's still danger!"
Bennett quickly raised his sword, about to attack the unknown enemy.
Unfortunately, his unlucky constitution acted up again; not only did he fail to attack the enemy, but he was also sent flying by the enemy.
"Hiss~ My butt..."
Xavier got up and rubbed his butt, feeling a bit resentful.
He didn't know how this system teleported; did it treat him like a bowling ball?
But honestly, besides his butt hurting a bit, he didn't feel much else.
"Bad luck..."
Xavier didn't expect a voice to come from under his butt, startling him.
Xavier quickly got up and realized it was Bennett.
He was sticking out his tongue, his eyes full of stars.
Could it be that he accidentally knocked him down just now?
What a sin, what a sin...
"My apologies, my apologies!"
Xavier quickly pulled Bennett up and apologized.
"Damn it, who are you?!"
"Your body is filled with evil aura; you must be a monster from the Abyss!"
"Quickly let go of that unlucky fellow, or I will make my move!"
Fischl immediately entered a state of alert, picked up her bow and arrow, and aimed at Xavier.
"Oh, it's not that dangerous!"
Venti stopped Fischl and didn't feel any sense of crisis at all.
He came in front of Xavier and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, Xavier!"
At this moment, let alone Fischl, even Xavier himself was a bit stunned.
"You... know me?"
Venti nodded and said, "Of course, because I've seen your videos!"
Xavier suddenly understood, remembering Klee's matter.
He had been wondering why, even after showing the videos to Jean and the Knights of Favonius, they would trust him so much.
Now it seemed that Jean must have found Venti and shown him the videos.
With the Anemo Archon's permission, Jean would naturally no longer hinder Klee from coming to him.
"Wind... Ahem, hello Venti, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Xavier shook hands with Venti, almost letting something slip.
"So Venti knows this strange fellow, but this Prinzessin doesn't think he seems like a good person."
Although Fischl put away her hostility, she still looked at Xavier with some displeasure.
Who suddenly appears like that, and like a cannonball, sends someone flying?
"Oh, right, hello Xiao Aimi, my name is Xavier."
Xavier thought he hadn't greeted Fischl yet, so he politely called out, thinking he was being courteous.
It would have been better if he hadn't called out; as soon as he did, Fischl exploded.
"You! How rude! How dare you call this Prinzessin by her humiliating childhood name!"
"That name can only be used by my Father and Mother!"
Xavier almost forgot that the person in front of him was a chuunibyou Damselette, and she strongly disliked others calling her Xiao Aimi.
To show his sincerity, Xavier could only apologize earnestly.
"Oh, dear, it turns out to be the esteemed Prinzessin der Verurteilung."
"I apologize for my rude behavior just now. Please, Your Highness, do not blame me!"
When saying these two sentences, Xavier felt that he was truly too chuunibyou...
