Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

······

Nora and Luminous rushed back to Mondstadt and went straight to the Knights of Favonius.

Qin was working when she saw Ying and the others coming over, so she put down what she was doing.

"Traveler, Paimon, and Nora, is there anything I can do for you?"

Paimon immediately stepped forward and, fulfilling her duty as the mouth of God, recounted in detail what they had witnessed at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Nora added, "The guy leading this seems pretty powerful. I wonder if he's another executor of the Fatui."

"Executive?" Qin's expression turned serious, and she sent someone to inform Lisa and Kaya.

After waiting for a while, Lisa and Kaia arrived at the captain's office.

After discussing it for a while, Qin immediately expressed her opinion:

"Kaiya, I'm leaving this matter to you. There's no need for conflict. Just investigate the Fools' motives."

The reason Qin entrusted the task to Kaiya was because Kaiya was more skilled in this area. Undoubtedly, he was the most suitable person to go out and investigate, and he was also the one Qin could trust the most.

Also, if it were Kaeya, the senior might go along...

Nora knew they were likely to be disappointed, because her Angela avatar was probably already on its way back.

However, it is still necessary to travel with other travelers.

The invitation quests are mostly daily tasks; spending more time with the Traveler and Paimon will help players unlock more side quests.

Anyway, there's not much to say about Nora's background. She grew up in Mondstadt and has always been well-behaved, enthusiastic, and lively.

It seems all that needs to be done is to flesh out the characters.

"Wait a minute, Nora, you don't need to go. I have a task for you."

Nora looked at Kaeya with a bewildered expression.

No, come again?

Kaiya seemed oblivious to Nora's surprise and said solemnly, "Go and call your brother. He's at the Angel's Gift Tavern right now."

Nora blinked repeatedly, staring blankly for several seconds before finally accepting the task assigned by Kaiya.

To get there as early as possible, she jogged to the tavern and told her brother what had happened.

Upon learning that it was the Fools, Diluc, who originally had no intention of getting involved, left after giving some instructions to the bartender Charles.

Of course, like Kaiya, he told Nora to stay here before he left.

but……

is it possible?

Nora would have obeyed if the traveler hadn't been around, but not now!

After Diluc had been gone for a while, Nora secretly followed him.

……

At the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Before Diluc, Kaeya, Luminous, and Paimon arrived, they saw where Angie and the others were.

However, the Fools were no longer to be seen here.

"Huh? Those guys left so quickly? No, it's also possible they've already gone up the mountain," Paimon guessed, not seeing anyone.

"Let's go!"

As Ying was about to set off for the snow mountain, Diluc reached out and stopped her.

He looked back and saw a tree; his cute little head quickly shrank back.

Diluc knew who it was, and he helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Traveler, you can leave this place to us. I'd like to ask you for a favor: find that tagalong behind us and bring her back to Mondstadt."

Kaiya: "The snow-capped mountains are bitterly cold. Let us handle such a dangerous task."

Luminous and Paimon turned around and noticed that Nora's clothes were not well hidden. She and Paimon exchanged a glance, then nodded to Diluc and Kaeya, and finally walked towards the big tree where Nora was hiding.

Diluc and Kaeya took the opportunity to head towards the snowy mountains.

Nora, hiding behind the tree, was huddled up, hoping the not-so-thick trunk would conceal her well.

Paimon's little brain suddenly had a funny idea, and he made a gesture to Ying with a mischievous grin.

then…

Quietly approach the big tree.

"Hello~"

"Wow!!!"

Jora was startled and then realized that the one who had scared her was none other than her favorite little Paimon!

Can this be tolerated? !

Nora pulled the flying little Paimon into her arms and gently bit her plump, collagen-rich face.

"Wow... Traveler, help me!"

"Hmph, who told you to scare me first, you wretched emergency food!" Ruola rubbed Paimon's little face and said fiercely.

Ying didn't mention the name "emergency food" before. Such a famous name is exclusive to Paimon, so how could she not mention it?

Paimon finally managed to break free, stomping his feet in anger: "What the hell? You're making me so angry! Paimon isn't emergency food!"

Ying smiled as she watched the two playfully bickering and stepped forward, saying, "Ruola, why are you only arriving now?"

"Hmph, it's all my brother's fault. He wouldn't let me come, so I had to sneak out."

As she spoke, Nora looked behind Ying and Paimon: "Where are Brother and Kaiya? Did they go upstairs?"

Luminous explained to Nora the task Diluc had just given her, and after thinking about it, Nora decided to continue the adventure with Luminous.

She never intended to go up the snow mountain. With Paimon there, Ying couldn't go up either. She was just waiting for Ying and Paimon.

The three-person group reached an agreement and left the foot of the snow-capped mountain to head to other places.

……

"Heh, I didn't expect we'd come to the snow mountain together again. When was the last time..."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Because of Laura between Kaeya and Diluc, their apparent relationship is slightly better than it was in the original game.

But only a little.

The snowstorm was heavy on the snow-capped mountain, and the traces of the Fools' activities disappeared after the group had been searching for more than ten minutes.

Both Diluc and Kaeya had excellent eyesight, and as they made their way upwards, they encountered many Fatui camps along the way, which greatly annoyed Diluc.

When has Mondstadt ever been a place where these fools can come and go as they please?

They raided several camps but didn't get any valuable information. As for the things that Ruola and the others mentioned that the Fools were moving, they didn't see them at all.

The two searched for a long time before finally having to leave.

However, both of them were wary of this and decided to investigate from other angles when they got back.

Chapter 16 The Traveler's Journey to Liyue

After leaving the foot of the snow-capped mountain, Nora and the traveler began their official adventure.

Explore ruins, pick fruit, search for ores, fight, solve puzzles...

Having followed Ying and Paimon all the way, Nora learned a lot.

For example, when they attacked the Hilichurl camp, Ying didn't just blindly rush in.

The methods of infiltration, assassination, luring the enemy, and setting traps were endless, leaving Nora stunned.

Ying held the one-handed sword given to her by Ruola—Endless Sharpness—and killed a Hilichurl with a single strike, displaying unparalleled might.

Nora secretly compared herself to Ying and realized that she was no match for her at all!

Her other disguises might work, but this Nora disguise won't.

You have to understand that there's only one element, fire, right now!

However, Nora quickly realized that Ying was, after all, a traveler who had crossed mountains and seas of stars, and was over 500 years old. She couldn't be simple no matter how you looked at it.

Moreover, it's not just Ying who's not simple; Little Paimon seems quite formidable as well.

Putting everything else aside, when Paimon was targeted by the Hilichurl archer, he dodged incredibly fast, looking extremely dashing and even quite beautiful.

While it's possible that Paimon's skill comes from practice, Nora always felt that Paimon was no ordinary person.

Having just cleared out a Hilichurl camp, Ying obtained a beautiful treasure chest and happily stored everything in her spatial storage.

"Hey, Nora, hurry up, we're leaving. It's your turn to come this time, okay?"

Nora twirled the gun with style, then tossed it away, and it was stored in the Eye of God's space.

Looking at Paimon, who was charging at the forefront, Nora's lips curled slightly:

"Paimon, if you come to pick me up, I might consider letting you have the Sweet Flower Chicken I've been saving!"

Upon hearing that there was sweet flower-stuffed chicken to eat, Paimon immediately flew back.

"Hehe, I'm back! Nora, you have to keep your word!"

Ruola gave Paimon a good rub.

This little one has a really big appetite. As long as there's something delicious to eat, it's easy to get along with her and easy to manipulate her.

"Let's go, let's rest up ahead for a bit, and then I'll feed you."

After Ruola finished speaking, she looked at Ying again. Seeing that Ying nodded, Ruola picked up little Paimon and left.

Paimon struggled in Nora's arms: "Nora, let me go! Paimon can walk by himself!"

"hey-hey······"

I won't let go, Paimon is so cute.

······

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Liyue Summoning Ceremony was approaching. Ying and Paimon were finally about to set off for Liyue.

Before they left, Nora personally saw them off.

"Go back, Nora. This is enough."

"Luminous, Paimon, remember to think of me when you go to Liyue! Be sure to come during the Windflower Festival, and I'll treat you to something delicious then!"

Nora tries to seduce Paimon with delicious food.

Ying and Paimon nodded emphatically.

Ying said, "Don't worry, Nora, Paimon and I will come back. We will miss you and everyone in Mondstadt."

Paimon waved to Nora: "Goodbye, Nora!"

Goodbye, Luminous; goodbye, Paimon!

Watching Ying and Paimon leave, Nora slowly turned and returned to Mondstadt.

Nora felt she had gone too far by not visiting Noelle for several days and needed to go and spend time with her soon.

Nora's disguise doesn't have any missions for now; we'll just have to wait for the story to unfold.

······

Liyue.

Late at night, in an antique-style room, Mu Qingge was working intently at a neatly arranged desk.

As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue and the Star of Kaiyang in charge of all affairs of the Thousand Rock Army, Mu Qingge wields considerable power and has a heavy workload.

Especially these days, it's normal to work until this late!

A few months ago, Mu Qingge promoted a general to help her, since she was still young and it was unrealistic for her to stay up all night every day, as it would affect her development.
