Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Chapter 138: Ice and Snow

Facing such enthusiasm from Serius, Ying was speechless for a moment. She really didn't know how to respond to him. After all, before this, they knew nothing about this so-called special training. The main purpose of coming to the snow mountain this time was to find Albedo. However, the request made by President Serius was not excessive, which made her really unable to think of any suitable reason to refuse him.

Then he blinked his big eyes curiously and asked Amber: "Uh... Amber, why are you here?"

Paimon thought that the Adventurer's Guild was short-handed.

Amber scratched her head awkwardly and said, "Well... Actually this is part of the reason... When I was out on patrol this time, I happened to pass by the border of the snowy mountains and found a child named Joel who was lost alone. I heard from others that this child has been living in this camp, so I tried to bring him back. Unexpectedly, I met President Serius and everyone here..."

At the end of the sentence, her voice became smaller and smaller.

Hearing this name, Ying stroked her chin thoughtfully and murmured to herself: "I remember this child... is Joel's father..."

Amber showed a trace of pity on her face, and said softly: "But Joel's father has disappeared... right? I can fully understand Joel's deep longing for his family. There is no one on this snowy mountain, and he must feel extremely lonely. I sincerely hope that I can at least bring him some comfort, so I decided to follow the habit Joel mentioned and help him build that lovely snowman. In this way, I can accompany Joel and stop here for a while, and do my part for President Serius."

[Cole: As expected of Amber, she is like an angel]

[Tinari: Cole, watch your saliva...]

【Cole: Uh….I’m sorry】

[Lisa: I understand. After all, everyone who understands will understand.]

[Amber: No, haha]

[Eula: It seems I came at the wrong time]

[Amber: No, you came at the right time. You are all my wings]

[Yan Fei: Quotes from a bad girl… This is how travelers are led astray]

[Chongyun: This is how my aunt was abducted by the traveler]

【Ying: We are true love! 】

[Alice: Single girls, be sure to protect yourself and go out with companions to avoid encountering travelers]

[Keqing: Ahem... We can’t beat her]

[Alice: .... Accept your fate, kid.]

...

Ying put her hands on her hips, a bright smile on her face, and said, "Okay, if you want to accompany Joel, then count me in!"

Amber was slightly startled when she heard this, and then she showed a look of surprise. She responded happily: "Wow, really? Thank you so much! Then let's go find Joel now. By the way, I also invited a friend to go with us. The time is almost up, and she must be very suitable to participate in this event."

Before Ying could even speak, Amber couldn't wait to grab Ying's hand, turned around and said to Serius: "President Serius, let's go over first!" Her tone was full of excitement and anticipation, as if she couldn't wait to start this interesting adventure.

Serius patted his chest and told Amber not to worry, he would call them before leaving.

...

Joel's position today was slightly further in than before. This was not without reason. The snow in the camp needed to be cleared every day, and if he wanted to build an ideal snowman, he had to move deeper. However, Joel was very well-behaved and sensible. He knew that he could not leave the foot of the snow mountain too far, so as not to encounter danger or cause trouble to others.

When Amber greeted him cheerfully, Joel immediately responded enthusiastically: "Joel, we're here."

At the same time, Ying also greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Joel. Do you remember me?"

Joel nodded vigorously and answered firmly: "Of course I remember, you are the big sister who came to the snow mountain!"

Seeing so many people coming to play with him, Joel showed a rare bright smile on his face and said happily: "Hello. Haha, it's rare to see so many people get together. I'm so happy."

At this moment, a graceful and elegant woman slowly walked over. She was tall and elegant, like a blooming blue lotus, exuding charming charm. Her silky blue hair fluttered in the wind, as if telling of her inner peace and depth. Her steps were light and confident, and each step exuded a unique charm that made people fall in love with her.

Joel looked at the blue-haired woman in front of him, and a sense of intimacy surged in his heart. He thought she was also here to play in the snow with Amber and the others, so with a cheerful smile on his face, he said to the blue-haired woman, "Sister Knight, are you here to build a snowman too?"

Actually, Eula was called here by Amber, but she didn't expect to be asked such a question by a child as soon as she arrived. She was stunned and confused, saying in confusion: "Build... build a snowman?"

Amber suddenly realized, a trace of guilt appeared on her face, she scratched her head in panic, and stammered: "Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't have time to introduce you. This is Wave Knight Eula, the captain of the Favonius Knights guerrilla squad..."

Eula looked at Amber helplessly, sighed and said, "Amber, your introduction is too formal. How can others remember it?"

After saying that, she shifted her gaze to Joel, her eyes became gentle, and she said softly: "Little friend, you can just call me Eula." Her voice was gentle and melodious, like a spring breeze blowing, which made people feel good about her.

Joel nodded obediently, with a smile as bright as the sun on his face, and said with a smile: "Well, Sister Eula! You can call me Joel too."

Eula was startled for a moment, with a look of confusion and shock in her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly as she murmured, "Eula...sister..."

[Paimon: Is this still the Eula we know? Her tone is surprisingly gentle]

[Eula: What, I can't be gentle? I'll remember this grudge.]

[Kaeya: This is in line with the style of a vengeful knight.]

【Faroshan: Hmm…what’s the pause here?】

[Sugar: Eula doesn't care about age, but she thinks it's rare that a few Mondstadt residents use a familiar name for her. After all... the name Lawrence is hated in Mondstadt.]

[Ying: Eula ~Sister~]

[Eula: Please don’t talk like a child]

[Paimon: Where did the clamp come from? Get out of Ying's body immediately]

[Claire: Brother Joel’s voice is a bit like Brother Bennett’s]

[Bennett: There is still a difference, right? Captain Qin, help! Avalanche]

[Qin:!!! Bennett, hold on! It's time to make a surprise move!]

[Kaeya: That's right, I'm the surprise soldier. Wait, I'm going now]

[Eula: No need, I'm in the snowy mountains, he's safe]

[Paimon: Be careful of bad luck]

【Bennett: Here we go again! 】

[Eula: Damn it, I can’t take a bath today]

...

Paimon recalled Eula's personality and couldn't help but whisper to Ying like a frightened little rabbit: "It's over, Eula is going to hold a grudge against the child."

However, the result was quite different from what was expected. Eula just replied uncomfortably: "... Never mind. Since you insist on doing this, then it's up to you."

Paimeng felt a little unbelievable that he just let it go like that!

"So, Amber, what's with the snowman-building thing? I heard you say the Adventurer's Guild was short-handed, so I came here to help."

Amber blinked and said seriously, "Helping is another matter. But you see, Joel is at an age where he should be having fun, and there are not many toys on the snowy mountain. He used to build snowmen with his dad, but now that his dad is not around, we should keep him company."

"Besides, Eula, it must be boring for you to take a bath alone on the snowy mountain. Let's work together to build a big snowman. Hehe, it will definitely be fun."

Paimon said excitedly, "Yes, yes, I will help too!"

[Nelue: Why didn't Paimon and the others react to taking a bath in the snowy mountains? ]

[Paimon: Uh… When I was in Mondstadt, I could always see Eula taking a bath, and there was always Amber behind the stone]

[Amber: Paimon, how did you say that?]

【Lisa: So this is who you are, Amber! 】

[Qin: This is considered peeping, right? Even though they are all girls.]

[Klee: Can Klee go too? We can go together so it won’t be boring.]

[Alice: No, baby, be careful of meeting a bad uncle]

[Klee: Then call the Honor Knight sister over, so we won’t be afraid anymore]

【Qin: Hmm?】

[Lisa:? ? ? 】

【granulated sugar:? ? ? 】

[Yura:? ? ? 】

[Amber: No! The current traveler is a boy, so we can’t go together.]

[Ying: I'm already on my way to Nata, and you don't need to be so wary of me, right? My personality doesn't allow me to do anything out of line.]

...

Seeing that Eula didn't say anything, Joel said very obediently: "Sister Eula, do you have anything else to do? It's okay, if you..."

Although he said this, the originally joyful expression on Joel's face inevitably became a little dim.

Eula came back to her senses, her face slightly red, and she quickly shook her head vigorously, then explained with an awkward smile: "No...it's not like that. I was just thinking about something else. There is no problem with making a snowman with Joel."

Amber shouted excitedly: "Then let's act quickly and start to divide into groups to find materials now!"

Amber took Joel's hand, winked at Ying, and said in a soft voice: "Joel and I are a team, Traveler, and Eula is in your hands."

Then she squatted down and looked directly at Joel. Amber looked serious and said gently, "Joel, do you see that huge tree over there? Let's use it as the end point and see who gets there first, okay?"

Paimon looked at their receding backs and said with emotion, "Oh, these two disappeared in an instant."

Crossing his arms in front of his chest, he couldn't help but complain: "I really can't figure out which of the two of them is having more fun."

However, Paimon's complaints did not receive any response. She turned around in confusion, only to find Ying and Eula staring at each other silently. Paimon said in confusion, "Wait, what's going on with the two of you? Why are you looking at each other but not talking?

Ying blinked and said calmly: "I was wondering what Eula is thinking about now..."

Only then did Eula come back to her senses and couldn't help coughing a few times: "Ah, cough cough..." She was obviously embarrassed to say it out loud.

Ying smiled slightly and said, "We are the only ones here now, just tell me."

Eula sighed softly, looked up at the sky, and said with emotion: "Joel, this kid, probably hasn't lived in Mondstadt for a long time. He doesn't understand me... nor does he understand what the Lawrence family means to the people of Mondstadt."

Paimon touched his chin subconsciously and said, "Yes, that's why he affectionately calls you Sister Eula."

Ying put her hands on her hips, frowned and said to Paimon: "Paimon."

Eula didn't really care. She turned around with a much softer expression and said, "...That's true. In the eyes of this child, I'm just an ordinary Mondstadt person. This is a little surprising to me, but I don't hate this feeling."

Youla's brows were still furrowed. Ying looked at her and asked hesitantly, "Youla... you seem to have other worries?"

Eula raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Huh, you have a sharp eye for observation. When everyone was chatting, were you staring at my expression? I'll remember this!"

Having said that, Eula no longer concealed anything. She said hesitantly, "To be honest, I'm really worried that I won't be able to make a good snowman. I've never made a snowman myself before. When I was a child, my family was very strict and I never had the opportunity to do it. It's even more impossible for me to do such a thing when I grow up."

[Klee: Build a snowman? Great! Let's go now!]

[Klee: Sister Eula, hold Klee's hand and walk with her. Klee can bring you luck, so you can build a good snowman.]

[Eula: Phew, then thank our little sun.]

[Funina: Miss Eula, only by letting go of the past can we embrace the future]

[Navia: Snowy mountains... There's no snow in Fontainebleau... I really want to have a snowball fight and build a snowman with my partner]

[Shen He (blushing): We can take a bath together...]

[Yae Shenzi: It’s snowing… I used to play with Sister Ganyu, but unfortunately… those leisurely times can no longer be returned.]

[Ganyu: Sister Shenzi, we'll see each other again in the future. Don't dive into the snow so suddenly again.]
