Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

"Oh?"

Dotole looked the boy up and down with great interest, his eyes behind the pointed mask reflecting an ambiguous light.

After all, since becoming the second-in-command of the Fools, few have dared to confront his authority, let alone make a deal with him.

"trade?"

"You little devil from the House of Hearths, what do you think you have to trade with me?"

Dotore crossed his arms, and his aura spread out, as if the temperature in the entire laboratory had dropped several degrees.

Rumors circulate that the top three executives of the Fools possess strength comparable to those of earthly rulers, and it seems there's some truth to that.

"The authority above the seven elements."

The azure eye of the wind god was instantly covered by golden light, and the wings representing the wind element folded into the shape of an hourglass.

Golden light emanated from the surrounding area, and time seemed to stand still. The hands of the clock on the wall visibly slowed down, as if they were about to stop at any moment.

"interesting……"

"Will that one... also cast their gaze upon the world?"

Dottore seemed unaffected by the power of time; he gazed at the Eye of God, which shone with golden light, and revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Say what you want."

"Take them to settle in Mondstadt."

"If Kujavina sends 'experimental subjects' later, send them to Mondstadt as well."

Mu Feng gently picked up the unconscious Elodie, his eyes bright and fearless as he confronted the pensive doctor in front of him.

"I think Mr. Doutore will make a wise choice between a valuable experimental subject and a group of worthless experimental subjects."

"choose?"

Dotore raised an eyebrow, a slight smile curving his lips beneath the pointed mask.

"Frankly, I'm not that interested in the previous human experiment involving slices."

"In my eyes, these experimental subjects are not particularly valuable."

"but……"

Dotole's voice trailed off slightly as he slowly stepped forward, the blue needle on his earring gleaming with an alluring light.

"Although I don't care about my colleagues' private affairs, I am aware of Kujavina's methods."

"With such a trump card, why expose it prematurely just for a few weak companions?"

"What... exactly are you thinking?"

"The...favored one of 'Rutasui'?"

Dotole's tall figure blocked the dim light in the laboratory, and even the heavy, pointed mask could not hide his imposing gaze.

"No reason."

"She is my family."

Golden light shone into Mu Feng's eyes, time around him stood still, water droplets froze in mid-air, and the laboratory fell into a deathly silence.

However, the Doctor remained completely unaffected. He seemed to smile subtly, and the evil eye embedded in the eye socket of the cloak on his shoulder flashed with a cold light.

"But I think you should have seen the gap in strength between us."

"So, what is the basis for completing the transaction?"

The temperature continued to drop, and water vapor condensed into frost despite the passage of time. The biting pressure caused cold sweat to gradually seep from Mu Feng's forehead.

Weakness is the original sin, he knew the doctor was not joking.

However, Mu Feng revealed a slight smile when faced with the murderous intent from the second seat of the Fools' Enforcers.

“Mr. Dottore, you are indeed very strong.”

“But you are a scholar, not a robber, and possess the wisdom of a scholar to weigh the pros and cons.”

With a confident smile, Mu Feng calmly looked at the doctor before him, who was filled with murderous intent but had not yet made a move, and continued his persuasive tactics, combining both soft and hard approaches:

"If I were to detonate the Eye of God here, it would inevitably cause time to collapse and crumble here."

"Despite having many slices, they seem quite happy for you to be stuck here forever and never be able to leave."

"Am i right?"

The golden light and the frost were still locked in a fierce confrontation, but Mu Feng clearly sensed that Dotore's aura seemed to be gradually subsiding.

"It seems you know me very well."

A hint of interest appeared on Dotore's lips. He withdrew his aura, and the surrounding air temperature finally began to slowly rise.

Experiments... should always have some fun, shouldn't they?

"You're lucky."

"I'm the easiest to talk to among all the slices."

Dotto waved his hand, and the Fools soldiers outside the door, who had been frozen in place, straightened up and respectfully made way for him.

"make a deal."

……

Fontainebleau, Harbourview.

The Fools' tall ships were anchored in the harbor, their flags proclaiming their owners and prompting surrounding ships to give them a wide berth.

The second-in-command of the Fools, "Doctor" Dottore.

"Elodie, be careful on your journey."

Mu Feng held Elodie, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and gently patted her shoulder.

"Brother Mufeng..."

Elodie's voice trembled with a hint of tears, which streamed down her cheeks. Her voice was filled with reluctance and deep remorse.

This is the second time.

For the first time, the boy gave her a second chance at life.

The second time, it was still the boy in front of her who gave her freedom and hope for the future.

She no longer knew how she could repay the debt.

Mu Feng gently combed Elodie's golden pigtails and patted her head with a smile.

"Mondstadt is a free country; you'll love that city of poetry and wine."

"Perhaps, Elodie will even meet the drunken poet from that story."

Mu Feng winked at Elodie, smiling as he eased the tense atmosphere.

"What about you?"

Elodie wiped away her tears, her large purple eyes filled with a mixture of hope and worry as she stared intently at the boy before her, awaiting his response.

Mu Feng paused for a moment, but quickly replied in a relaxed tone:

"We... of course, will be going to Mondstadt to find you soon."

"So... Elodie needs to take them and help them build a new 'home' in Mondstadt first."

"We'll be there soon."

Elodie nodded heavily, her tearful eyes shining with determination, her little hands clenched tightly.

"I will."

Mu Feng smiled, pulled Elodie's petite body into his arms, gave her a gentle hug, and then pushed her onto the deck.

"go quickly."

"A new home awaits you, Elodie."

See you another day.

Several wounded members of the House of Hearths silently followed the Fools onto the ship bound for Mondstadt, gazing blankly at the vast, boundless sea.

Are we free?

It's like a bizarre and fantastical dream.

The ship sailed.

The horn sounded, startling several seagulls that had been perched on the mast. The huge sails billowed in the sea breeze, propelling the behemoth into the starting line.

Elodie leaned against the railing, her body half-exposed over the boat, smiling as she watched them sail away. Mu Feng waved, tears welling up in her eyes.

Please, please come quickly!

"Break free we chased our dreams beneath the starry night."

She softly sang the song the boy had taught her, until the port of Fontainebleau blurred and completely disappeared at the interface between the water and the sky.

I wish I had feathers and wings.
