Is this the accessory that can enhance one's strength? It feels similar to owl ornaments or other accessories made from legendary animals. Only the materials are different.
"Wow, that looks nice." Shao Yun carefully examined the God's Eye. It indeed looked exquisite, but it also gave him a sense of déjà vu, like a glass orb.
Item acquired: Fire Element God's Eye.
Effect: Bullets can be enchanted with the Fire Element. Health, stamina, and Death God's Eye core values consumption speed are permanently reduced by fifty percent.
Note: During use, no damage can be dealt to pure Fire Element creatures or enemies with Fire Element shields.
Ah, this really has the characteristics of Teyvat's elementary elemental theory.
Paimon began to introduce the God's Eye, "A God's Eye is how people in this world gain power. Those who possess a God's Eye can use elemental energy."
"But it's still unclear how one obtains a God's Eye. I heard that when a mortal's desire reaches its peak, the gaze of the gods will be cast down, and those acknowledged by the gods will possess a God's Eye."
"Acknowledgement from the gods?" Shao Yun stroked his chin, carefully pondering the meaning of this sentence.
"Ah, Paimon understands!" Paimon's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had discovered some astonishing secret.
Her mouth was slightly agape, and her face showed an expression of surprise and realization. Her eyes sparkled, as if she understood everything in an instant.
"Understands what?" Shao Yun scratched his head, and Lumine was also confused.
"Didn't you just drive away the dragon?" Paimon pointed to the spot where Venti had purified Dvalin.
"Oh, Paimon means..." Shao Yun had a moment of epiphany, and Paimon's subsequent words confirmed his thoughts.
"Shao Yun, you just stepped forward, dared to pick up your weapon and fight against the dragon, and even drove it away, so..."
"So, Paimon means that my wish to defeat the dragon attracted the gods?"
Shao Yun's mouth twitched. So the system's purpose was to make him obtain a God's Eye, huh? Haha, how funny. Could he not protect himself without this thing?
Paimon carefully scrutinized the God's Eye Shao Yun had obtained, a hint of doubt in her eyes. Her gaze occasionally darted towards Shao Yun, and she mustered the courage to ask,
"Are you really from another world?"
"Hahaha, what makes you say that?" Shao Yun was amused by Paimon's words. In any case, he was certainly not a native of Teyvat.
Paimon rubbed her head, a little curious, "Logically speaking, only people from this world would obtain a God's Eye, but Shao Yun, you..."
"Perhaps it's because Lumine is stronger than me. She can master elemental energy without a God's Eye, while I can only rely on one."
Anyway, he couldn't figure out the criteria for granting a God's Eye. Since he had obtained one, it couldn't be a bad thing.
The matter of the God's Eye came to an end. Next, everyone's attention fell on a suspended teardrop-shaped drop of dragon blood.
Lumine ultimately took this item, giving the same reason: she couldn't leave such strange things in the wild, fearing negative consequences.
Although he knew the plot, Shao Yun still reminded her, "If you feel any discomfort while holding it, tell me and Paimon early on."
"Thank you for your concern." Lumine put away the cursed dragon blood, closed her eyes, and smiled, thanking Shao Yun for his kindness.
The group of three continued towards Mondstadt. Shao Yun scouted ahead, with Lumine and Paimon following behind.
The closer they got to Mondstadt, the easier the path through Whispering Woods became. There was basically no longer any need to push aside bushes.
Shao Yun relaxed, looking at the lush green scenery around him and humming a tune.
"I feel like I'm about to meet Amber..." As the surroundings became more familiar, he pondered how to greet her.
"Hey—you! Wait a moment!" A girl's energetic voice came from behind.
Shao Yun nodded. Yes, the plot had arrived, he heard the voice.
A red figure rushed from behind, jumped onto a nearby high ground, intending to stop them.
Alright then, respecting the plot's progression, Shao Yun stopped, and with Lumine and Paimon, watched Amber catch up from behind and then jump down from the height.
However, her landing spot was a bit off!
Their current formation was Shao Yun walking at the very front, with Lumine and Paimon about five meters behind him.
Amber, chasing from behind, only saw Lumine and Paimon, not Shao Yun in front, which meant her landing spot would collide with Shao Yun.
As expected, the moment Amber jumped down, she saw someone she hadn't seen.
In mid-air, there was no leverage point for her to change her landing spot.
"Get out of the way!" Amber could only cry out in a panic, her breath erratic, turning her jump into a fall.
Shao Yun spread his arms, extending his hands towards Amber's impending landing spot.
Finally, he caught Amber as she fell from the air, her head hitting Shao Yun's chest solidly.
He had originally prepared himself to be a human cushion, but it actually felt like soft cotton hitting him. Shao Yun didn't even take a step back.
On the contrary, Amber felt as if she had hit a stone wall, making her see stars.
"Ouch, that hurts so much..."
Looking at the dazed Amber in his arms, he gently put her down, supported her, and helped adjust her crooked, rabbit-ear-shaped headband, asking, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Amber covered her head with her eyes closed, shaking her head, "I'm fine, sir. You, aren't hurt, are you?"
"It looks like you're the one who got hurt. Sit on that stone and rest for a bit."
Shao Yun helped Amber sit on a nearby stone. Lumine and Paimon also caught up to look after Amber.
Paimon looked at the dazed Amber, then at Shao Yun, who was completely fine, and then leaned in to whisper to Lumine.
"Wow, Shao Yun is so strong! That girl fell on him from a height, and he's completely fine."
"I heard that, Paimon..." Shao Yun smiled helplessly, casting a playful glance at Paimon.
Caught whispering, Paimon was startled and hid behind Lumine's head, apologizing with a giggle, "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, hehe..."
Since she was praising him, Shao Yun didn't need to bother with the cute Paimon.
Amber sat for a while, and Paimon fed her a few sips of water, which helped her recover.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into you, sir." Amber looked at Shao Yun apologetically.
"It's alright. My name is Shao Yun. This is Lumine, and this is Paimon. I'm their travel companion."
Shao Yun made the introductions. Lumine and Paimon also greeted her warmly.
Amber returned the cup to Paimon, stood up, and performed a Knight's salute.
"I am Amber, the Outrider of the Knights of Favonius."
Because of the trio's careful attention, their proactive self-introduction, and expression of goodwill, coupled with Amber's accidental collision, the interrogation process was omitted.
"Recently, there have been dragons appearing around Mondstadt. For safety, it's best for the three of you to enter the city as soon as possible. As a Knight, I shall escort the three of you." Faced with Amber's kind reminder, the trio all nodded.
"Thank you, we were just heading to Mondstadt." But Paimon, after a moment's thought, raised a concern: "You're a Knight, don't you have duties?"
"That's not urgent at all. Helping travelers is also one of our Knights' duties." Amber waved her hand, enthusiastically.
As for whether she was monitoring suspicious individuals, that was another matter. In any case, the three of them weren't suspicious, and since they were new, it was understandable if they were treated as such. Amber was being very polite; if it were him, he might have just tied them up and taken them back for interrogation.
Along the way, Amber briefly introduced Mondstadt. Shao Yun had already memorized the map of Mondstadt from the game and knew more than Amber was currently telling him.
After a brief and concise introduction to Mondstadt, Amber's gaze fell on Shao Yun, and she mustered the courage to ask,
"Sir, your name is Shao Yun, right?"
Not understanding why Amber suddenly asked this, "Yes, why?"
Amber looked thoughtful and muttered to herself, "Your name sounds like a Liyue person, but your attire and other aspects resemble a Fontaine person..."
"Emmm, why do you say that?" Shao Yun was stunned. Had his appearance changed after he transmigrated?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my mistake, I offended you." Amber thought she had offended him and quickly apologized.
"It's nothing, nothing. There are all sorts of wonders in the world. I don't think I look so bad that people would throw up their breakfast. Haha." Shao Yun made a self-deprecating remark to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Amber chuckled, "Mr. Shao Yun, don't be so self-deprecating. You're quite handsome."
"Thank you for the compliment."
It was just polite talk, no need to delve deeper.
However, one thing did catch Shao Yun's attention: Amber saying he looked like a Fontaine person. What was that about?
Looking at the revolver on his waist, it might be because his revolver was mistaken for a Fontaine musket.
After all, among the nations in Genshin Impact, Fontaine's muskets are the most famous. Being mistaken for a Fontaine person was indeed possible.
