Chapter 2: Go to the Knights! Brother Kaiya is a good man!

"Xiaobai, Brother Kaiya and Captain Qin invite you to visit Mondstadt. Would you like to go with me?"

Keli, carrying a small schoolbag, squatted down and extended an invitation to Yi Bai.

"Don't worry, everyone in the Knights is a good person, and I will definitely protect you. Protecting your companions is also a knight's duty!"

Kelly promised firmly in her childish voice.

Go! Must go! Yi Bai quickly formed a check mark above his head and jumped twice on the spot, looking very excited indeed.

Without any electronic equipment, it was really boring for Yi Bai to stay alone around Xingluo Lake. After Klee left, Yi Bai's only job was to study more ways to use his body.

Now it can even control its tentacles to move more than a dozen different objects at a time, and allow them to attack enemies from a distance at the same time. The same goes for bubbles. Its control ability has been improved to a higher level.

Recently, I have almost cleared out all the monsters in a large area around here. If I feel overwhelmed, I can even use the bouncing bombs given by Klee... In short, after practicing, I have indeed improved my fighting ability a lot, and it also makes Yibai more confident about this world.

The gate guard of Mondstadt, who had received the notice to pass, looked on in amazement as Spark Rider ran into Mondstadt carrying the well-behaved slime.

"God of Wind, I am not blind, am I... How can there really be a monster that doesn't attack people?"

"Yes, you are so ignorant. I heard that the Hillichuls can even communicate in some situations. As long as you learn their language..."

"That's a Hilichurl, too. I've never heard of a slime that doesn't attack humans."

"This……"

The remaining citizens of Mondstadt did not even see the slime being held tightly in Klee's arms. They only noticed a flash of red passing before their eyes.

"Hey, I'm back."

The escaped sun opened the door of Captain Qin's office with a bang, and couldn't wait to introduce his new friend to them.

The decoration of Captain Qin's office was exactly the same solemn and elegant as in the game. Yi Bai looked around curiously.

Including Kaiya and Lisa whom I met for the first time, and the acting leader who has a strong aura.

After Klee introduced them, Yi Bai stretched out his little tentacle and shook it gently as a greeting.

"Hello, I'm Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius. I heard from Klee that I can call you Xiaobai. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bai."

Captain Qin's tone was gentle and cautious. Yi Bai suddenly felt a little flattered, but he still blinked and extended his little tentacle to the captain.

Kaiya frowned slightly. Although he had seen Klee and the water slime getting along well with each other, he couldn't help but feel uneasy about letting the captain come into direct contact with this mutated monster.

His hand even fell near the sword on his waist. If the captain felt any discomfort, he would immediately cut off the tentacle.

But nothing happened. Captain Qin just shook hands with the slime in a friendly manner. Yi Bai even made a flower shape on the upper right corner of his cheek as usual to express his happiness.

Lisa joked: "It feels like a very cute little guy~"

Kaiya also smiled and said, "Then let's say hello, Mr. Bai."

Yi Bai heaved a sigh of relief and extended his tentacles towards Kaiya. If he had not been worried that giving them gifts like dandelions and water roses might be interpreted as a deep power that could see into people's hearts, or that they had other intentions, he would not have given up the idea of ​​pleasing others.

Just because of his identity as a player, Ibai's understanding of Teyvat and these characters almost exceeds the imagination of any local.

Crunch... Yi Bai suddenly felt a suffocating stiffness coming from the end of the tentacle, and the ice spread along Kaiya's hand and condensed in his own tentacle.

But from the outside, everything seemed normal.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kaia, captain of the Knights of Favonius." The man in front of him smiled very friendly, so friendly that it even made people feel a little annoyed.

Qin looked at Kaiya's expression and suddenly realized something. She frowned, but because she didn't see anything, she didn't say anything.

Yi Bai: ...

In this situation, to be honest, Yibai has many options. The most extreme and powerful one is to use his tentacles to directly control the little Klee who is holding him. Under his threat, Kaya and the others will probably not attack him.

However, there would be some hidden dangers, and being at odds with the Knights would not be beneficial to one's mission.

In the end, Yi Bai chose the most gentle and non-aggressive option: playing dumb.

As a low-intelligence elemental creature, Slime feels very little pain no matter how hard he tries. This condensed ice element has no effect other than making his tentacles unable to move.

So the next second, everyone in the knight group saw the water slime blinking ignorantly, and a cute symbol cautiously appeared on its head: ?

"What's the matter, Xiaobai, this is Brother Kaiya, a very good person." Keli introduced in a crisp voice.

Immediately afterwards, the water slime was retracted by the tentacle held by Kaiya, and the water flow in the front receded backwards. Like peeling a banana skin, the ice debris inside gradually revealed its true appearance and fell to the ground with a crunch.

"..." At this moment, the atmosphere in the office was deathly quiet.

"Kaiya!" Captain Qin spoke with a teaching tone in her voice.

"Ahahaha, that's because I was too excited. It was my first time encountering such a strange little creature, and I couldn't control the elemental power in my body well."

Kaiya laughed it off with a fake smile.

But even so, the little slime didn't seem to understand Kaiya's deliberate provocation. It still formed a flower expressing happiness on its face, and its pupils were pressed into lines of joy.

"Hmm... this little guy is really likable."

Lisa was enjoying the show in the back and finally couldn't help laughing.

Klee didn't understand anything either. She just thought Kaiya was just saying hello to Yibai, so she smiled brightly: "Hey, I told you, Xiaobai is very cute! You will definitely like him!"

In short, Yibai naturally gained official recognition from the Knights, and played around with Klee in Mondstadt in the image of a water slime.

It even scared many fragile and timid residents, "Ahhh, God of the Wind, why are there slimes in Mondstadt? Where are the Knights? Help!!!"

A drinker on his way to the tavern made a sharp noise.

"...Please be kind and stop disturbing people here. Can't you see that this slime doesn't attack people? Besides, even if it is a slime that attacks people, it is just a low-level monster. Can't it be killed by paying attention?"

A Mond woman who came to buy food nearby rolled her eyes at the drunkard and criticized him unkindly, "Coward."

"Don't hurt Xiaobai! He's my friend!"

Kelly expressed her attitude once again.

This was the tenth time that Yi Mu had encountered this situation in Mondstadt.

Yi Bai helplessly jumped from Keli's arms to the ground, then slid in the opposite direction.

"Eh? Xiaobai? Wait for me!"

Having avoided a meaningless argument, Yi Bai wandered aimlessly in the city, with the jumping little sun following closely behind him.

During the time he stayed in Mondstadt, Ibai also saw Noelle, who was running around in Mondstadt like Klee, and even helped her move a lot of heavy things with her tentacles, and received the maid's heartfelt gratitude.

"Senior, if you need any help in the future, please come to me!!"

What kind of help does a slime need? Yi Bai was a little confused for once.

Perhaps she noticed Yibai's confusion, so the next time she met Noelle, she even moved a huge water tank over, placed it in the corner near the Adventurers' Association, and filled it with clean water.

Wow... it really works! Yi Bai soaked his entire body in the water. Although if there were impurities in his body, they could be easily discharged, soaking in the water was still as comfortable as taking a bath.

To express his gratitude, Ibai gave Noelle a water rose, which represented the secret of Mondstadt, and gave it to her.

"Ah, thank you, senior!! I like it very much. I just guessed that water slimes usually appear near water and may need water... Anyway, I will come here often to change clean water for you in the future!"

??? It’s not necessary…

Yi Bai blinked. He almost forgot that the all-powerful maid in Mondstadt was a maid who truly loved her job and was the type of maid who would give back ten times as much as she could if she was given a little help.

Although he felt it was unnecessary, Yibai still couldn't express the complex meaning to make Noelle give up this idea, so he had to use his usual small flowers to show his emotions.

In addition, there is Rosalia who is always staring at him warily, Bennett who is surprised and adoring but afraid of any accidents and dares not approach him, Sucrose who is very interested in him but feels sorry because she is not in his research direction, and Amber, the passionate scout knight who has been on duty most of the time recently.

Yibai met Amber when he was accompanying Klee on the way to the lake outside Mondstadt.

At that time, Amber was running hurriedly towards the Knights, wanting to quickly report what she had discovered.

The fiery red headband swung back and forth, looking like rabbit ears.

"Little Klee? Wow... There are also cute little slimes. I've always heard people in Mondstadt talk about them, but I've never seen one."

Seeing little Klee and the slime, Amber stopped in a hurry. She bent down and greeted the water slime that Klee was holding.

"Hey, hello, I'm Detective Knight Amber!"

After the warm greeting, Amber's expression turned slightly depressed.

"Unfortunately, there have been giant dragons around Mondstadt recently, and the Hillichul settlements are moving unnaturally... I have to keep an eye on the situation outside the city, otherwise I must have some good fun with the little slime and Klee!"

"Well, Sister Amber is very busy. Let's play together when she's not busy. Kelly will listen to me."

Keli said obediently, and Yi Bai also condensed a symbol of affirmation on his head.

"Haha, but recently there are a lot fewer Hillil settlements in the Xingluo Lake area. This way I am not so stressed anymore."

Yi Bai was silent. He remembered that all the hillbillies seemed to have been dealt with while he was practicing how to control his body?

But... Wind Dragon? It seems that when the Traveler goes to Mondstadt, the day when Genshin Impact is launched is not far away.

I have to get ready as soon as possible... The slime blinked its pure white eyes and thought about future plans.
