"Can you please stop saying things that are so misleading!"
Jiang Mu punched Wendy in the head, saying helplessly.
"I didn't come here this time to have you infuse me with divine power..."
"Hehe~"
Wendy flashed her signature smile once again.
"Never mind..." Jiang Mu waved his hand and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"What do you mean, what should we do?" Wendy shook her head, feigning ignorance.
"Don't pretend you don't know!" Jiang Mu hooked his arm around Wendy's shoulder and said with a grin.
“Wendy… oh no, Barbatos, you slacker, don’t tell me you don’t know about the current situation in Mondstadt.”
"Ahem..." Wendy slapped Jiang Mu's hand away and said seriously.
"Forget Barbatos, the name of my character is Wendy."
“As for Dvalin…” Wendy’s eyes turned serious.
"A wind from a foreign land has already blown, and the strangers who chase the wind have arrived. The wind will bring stories from afar, and the bards are only responsible for singing those stories."
"After all that talk, you just want to slack off, don't you?"
Jiang Mu saw through his thoughts and hit the nail on the head.
"Hehe~"
"Hey, what does that mean?!"
"Anyway," Wendy said, touching her nose without feeling embarrassed.
"I've entrusted this matter entirely to that traveler. If you're interested, why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"..." Jiang Mu remained silent, then finally nodded.
"Okay, but take a look at this."
As he spoke, Jiang Mu took out a teardrop-shaped crystal that emitted a faint red light from his system space.
"These are... Dvalin's tears?"
Wendy glanced at it and said.
"Keep this for now; it will come in handy later."
"Understood." Jiang Mu nodded and looked at Wendy.
"Want to grab a drink together tonight?"
“That’s a tempting suggestion…” Wendy shook her head regretfully, “But unfortunately, I have important things to do today…”
"Then we'll have to do it another day..." Jiang Mu was also a little disappointed. After traveling through the seven kingdoms and meeting the seven gods, only this Wind God, who didn't do any real work, was somewhat to his liking...
“However, you do smell like a few other old friends…” Wendy sniffed the air and a sly smile appeared on her face.
"It seems you've been exploiting them quite a bit too..."
"Alright..." Jiang Mu quickly took a few steps back, looking at Feng Shen with a mischievous grin, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
With that, he hurriedly left...
"hehe……"
Wendy stood still, watching Jiang Mu flee in panic, and smiled slightly.
"The wind has changed direction, and so has its scent. My friend from another world, what surprises will you bring to Teyvat...?"
………………
Upon arriving outside Mondstadt, Jiang Mu checked the time; there was still a long time before his appointment with Amber.
"What should I do..."
Jiang Mu thought for a while and decided to do what he did best.
Shovel the earth!
(Crossed out!)
Help the Knights of Favonius deal with the monsters ravaging the wilderness!
That's right!
And so, Jiang Mu embarked on a journey to find the Hilichurl tribe...
"Host, I suggest you learn a skill book from the system store." A voice suddenly sounded.
"What skill?"
"The language of the hill people."
Jiang Mu: "?"
"System, are you serious?"
"When has this system ever cheated you?" the system said confidently.
"Fine, I'll trust you this once." With that thought, Jiang Mu opened the system shop, where three skill books were neatly arranged.
Introduction to the Language of the Hicks
Mastering the Language of the Hicks
"The Words of the Humble Ones: Acting Recklessly"
"..."
After complaining about the name of the last skill book for a while, Jiang Mu still decided to buy it.
It's not expensive, only 3 million Mora...
………………
"Traveler, what's going on with these Hilichurls?"
Paimon looked at a Hilichurl guarding outside the Hilichurl camp and asked curiously.
"have no idea."
Ying shook her head slightly, also quite curious.
"Hey!" Suddenly, a voice rang out from the side, and a "little girl" in a dress was waving at them.
"Come here quickly!"
Ying and Paimon did as instructed and went to the little girl's side.
“Hello,” the little girl introduced herself. “My name is Ella Musk, and I am a Hilichurl linguist.”
"Now, I want to go and talk to that Hilichurl. Can you come with me?"
"Communicate with Hilichurls...?"
Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance and asked in confusion.
"are you sure?"
“I’ve been studying the Hilichurl language for quite some time now,” Ella Musk said, patting her chest. “It’ll be fine!”
"If there's no problem... then why do you still need us to protect you?"
Paimon was unusually clever for once.
“I…” Ella Musk was stunned.
“Never mind, Paimon.” Ying tugged at Paimon’s clothes and then looked at Ella Musk.
"I agree."
"Thank you so much!"
Ira Musk thanked them, saying, "Don't worry, the compensation will not disappoint you!"
Soon, while the Hilichurls in the camp were fast asleep, the group arrived in front of the Hilichurls guarding the gate.
"Ya!"
Upon seeing the two looking bewildered, the Hilichurl almost immediately jumped up, about to shout into the camp.
Ying was a little nervous, while Ira Musk remained calm and composed, communicating with the Hilichurls in the language she had learned...
Upon hearing the familiar words, the Hilichurl paused for a moment, then instinctively engaged in conversation with them...
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, but still relatively harmonious...
Seeing this, Ying and Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief...
Then, suddenly, something happened. For some unknown reason, Ella Musk said something wrong, and the Hilichurls immediately became agitated, waking up all the Hilichurls in the camp…
"careful!"
Ying shouted and rushed forward, shoving Ella Musk aside. She then drew her bladeless sword and confronted the group of Hilichurls...
"Luminous!" Paimon screamed, but helplessly, he couldn't do anything to help and could only stand by anxiously.
“waibibabu!”
Suddenly, a short sound came from the Hilichurl camp.
"?"
As if receiving a message, the Hilichurls stopped in place and did not attack the two, as if they were waiting for the arrival of some "person".
"Shh..."
Soon, faint footsteps echoed from the camp, and with them emerged two human figures, one tall and one short…
“That is…” Ying said incredulously, looking at the somewhat familiar-looking person.
"Jiang Mu?"
