Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

After hearing Karin's question, Kami sighed in frustration.

"Um, did I say something wrong?" Kailin said worriedly when she saw the other party was silent.

Kami shook her head and said, "No, it's just the question you asked. Many people have asked me the same question before, asking why, as a woman with such a prime youth, she would voluntarily fall into the vortex of war?"

"So how did you answer?" Karen asked.

"Because I am an orphan who survived the war," she said calmly.

"Ah?" Karen was stunned for a moment, and everyone else also looked shocked.

"Let's talk while we walk." She turned around and walked towards the border.

"I am an orphan adopted by my husband. Ever since I can remember, he told me that all my family members died in the war, and all they left me was this necklace." Kami was lost in memories as he walked.

She looked at the ruby ​​pendant on her chest, her eyes filled with deep sorrow. "I never met my parents. I only know they were brutally murdered while defending against invaders. I was just a baby at the time. If it weren't for the master finding me, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

Everyone followed her silently, listening to her story. The atmosphere, which was already heavy due to the war, became even more solemn.

"I grew up under the protection of my husband, and the people around me treated me like family. But I cannot ignore the trauma that war brings to every family. I don't want anyone to be like me, so I have always followed my husband, hoping to contribute a part of my strength to everyone." Kimi's steps were firm and powerful, and every step seemed to be declaring war on the dark forces of war.

It is because I have been caught in the rain that I want to hold an umbrella for others.

Kami continued, "When I was ten years old, I successfully gained the recognition of Lord Flame King and signed a contract with him. Since then, I have served as a mercenary, accompanying Mr. Luo Hao and officially joined the Border Defense Force."

"Ten years old?" Kailin asked in surprise, "Then your current age..."

"Now? I'm 16 years old, and I've been in the army for six years." Kami turned around and said calmly.

"So young?" Kailin was surprised again. "Originally, I just thought you looked young, but I didn't expect..."

Kimi smiled and said, "Everyone says that, but I never care. I was born in troubled times, and I happen to have the means to solve the problem at hand, so I know what to do without thinking."

Hearing this, Kailin's eyes were already a little moist, and she said softly: "Kami, you are so great."

Yaohui nodded in agreement, "Yes, such a selfless spirit truly deserves to be his contractor."

"After all, that's how he is, and if Rinhui didn't have someone as selfless and hopeful as him, he would have fallen long ago," Tianlang said.

"That's right." Li Xueqi agreed.

At this time, Kimi stopped and looked into the distance.

"stop."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Karen asked.

"Oh, no." Kami shook his head, then pointed to the road ahead and said, "A little further ahead is the dividing area between the Linhui and Ares tribes. After this section of road, I hope everyone can stay vigilant at all times. Also..."

He then looked at Yue Tianlang, Yaohui, and Li Xueqi and said, "I also hope that the three guardians can be patient."

Yaohui nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will."

"Well, in that case, please follow me." Kami nodded and continued to walk forward.

When they arrived at the border, they saw a stone tablet engraved with a place name. The words on the tablet were a little mottled due to the erosion of time, but the words "Rinhui" and "Ares Tribe" could still be clearly recognized, except for Mo Yan and the other three who did not recognize the Teyvatian language.

Kami walked to the stone tablet and looked into the distance.

Before my eyes was a desolate valley with a maze of winding and undulating mountain roads.

Kimi's eyes swept across the valley, her expression filled with vigilance and determination.

Karen also looked around curiously. The winding mountain roads were like sleeping pythons, hiding unknown dangers.

"Is the border of the Ares tribe just ahead?" she asked.

"No, this is just the separation between Linhui and Ares tribes. The people of Ares built their tribe in this canyon with the help of the dangerous mountains and rivers. If we don't find out the route clearly, we might alert the enemy." Kami replied.

"So that's why we can't rush into the valley." Zhao Heng thought.

"That's true, but since Miss Yuka came, she has already explored the terrain here. It's a pity that she didn't come with us this time, otherwise it would be much easier to sneak into the tribe and investigate the specific situation." Kami said regretfully.

Just as everyone was watching from a distance, Yaohui seemed to notice something and suddenly shouted to the side.

"who!"

When they heard Yaohui's voice, everyone was startled, and then they looked at the area he was looking at at the same time with vigilance.

On the right, there was a pile of rocks, with undulating layers of rock extending along the mountain path all the way to the top of the mountain. Hearing the sound, the person hiding behind the pile of rocks slowly poked his head out and kept begging for mercy.

"Please spare my life, my dear friends. I'm just an archaeologist passing through. I don't have anything valuable on me. Can you please let me go?"

The man rushed out from the pile of rocks and knelt in front of everyone, begging desperately. This made everyone look like a highway robber. In an instant, the vigilance that everyone had just built up turned into an extremely awkward situation as the man begged for mercy.

"Sir, you may have misunderstood. We are not robbers, let alone bandits." Tianlang said helplessly.

The man immediately raised his head and said, "Is that so? Sorry, I saw your outfit just now and thought you were bandits."

Hearing the man say this, Kailin silently looked at Yaohui beside her and said, "Well, there's a reason why you think that."

Seeing that the person opposite was an ordinary person, everyone breathed a sigh of relief for a short time, but Yaohui did not think so. He looked carefully at the man in front of him from head to toe. He was wearing ordinary explorer's clothes, and there was indeed nothing special about him from his appearance.

"Okay, stop kneeling. You said you were an archaeologist passing by, so why did you come here? Don't you know where this place is?" he asked seriously.

"Of course, this is Rinhui. I came here because I knew it." said the man.

"Oh, then I'd like to hear your reasons." Yaohui said, frowning and staring at the man in front of him.
