Wu Qiu wondered if this three-star weapon was really that powerful, but then he dismissed it. He knew very well how much a good weapon could enhance a person's combat ability.
Ying's combat power increased dramatically due to Ice Mark. Foss, having obtained a single feather, was able to overpower Ying and Lorna.
If Noelle had had a weapon like this when she fought Hilichurl King, she wouldn't have been so mercilessly crushed.
And let's not even talk about the present. In the game, is the Diluc carrying Wolf's Graveyard the same character as the Diluc carrying the Training Greatsword?
However, Wu Qiu was now thinking about how to get Noelle to go to Dragon Ridge with him. Although it was shameless, Noelle had already selflessly helped him a lot and even got injured.
Moreover, Dragonspine Mountain is quite dangerous, but Wu Qiu absolutely has to call Noelle along. Klee has already said she's going, but that's because Dragonspine Mountain doesn't seem dangerous to her.
Besides, Klee might accidentally kill herself with that bomb. Noelle, on the other hand, is much more reliable than Klee.
"Sister Noelle, we're going to Dragonspine Mountain to book with Lostan next. Do you want to come along?"
Just as Wu Qiu was wondering what to say, Klee spoke up directly. Noelle looked at Wu Qiu after hearing this, "You...you want him to forge weapons?"
Wu Qiu nodded. "Um, well, Noelle, I..."
"I understand, but it may take a while. We'll head to the snow mountain once I've recovered."
Wu Qiu stared blankly at Noel, his expression calm, but the gratitude in his heart was beyond words. After a long while, amidst the sound of wind and snow outside the window, Wu Qiu only uttered two words, "Thank you."
......................................................
(Oh, right, I forgot to mention earlier that Wu Qiu and the others were unconscious for two days after flying to Longji Snow Mountain. I'll mention that here.)
Meanwhile, outside Mondstadt. With a clean and swift strike, another Hilichurl stronghold outside Mondstadt was destroyed.
"Ah~ thank you Ying, with your help these past two days, the progress has been much faster."
Amber wiped the sweat from her brow and approached Ying with a grin. Ying casually put away her Ice Mark and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, just a small favor."
Paimon clapped along and chimed in, "Yeah, and Amber even treated us to honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry, it was so delicious!"
He drooled as he spoke. Amber looked up at the time and said, "It's time, let's go eat."
"Yay! Honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry!"
Then, the three of them headed towards Mondstadt. Along the way, many people greeted Ying, for a simple reason: Ying had been busy in Mondstadt for the past few days, and could be said to have helped Mondstadt a great deal.
Moreover, he was very efficient and kind to people, so he was welcomed by the people of Mondstadt.
Ying greeted everyone with a smile along the way, then asked Amber, "Amber, where is Akiko...?"
Amber turned her head and squinted at her. "What? Worried about your little baby? If you're worried, go see him."
During this time, Ying no longer blamed Wu Qiu, but she was still a little angry about Wu Qiu's inaction, so she didn't go to see Wu Qiu.
In addition, there have been many things going on lately, and Mondstadt really needs help, so they didn't realize that Wu Qiu was no longer in Mondstadt.
Not only them, but even Qin hadn't noticed. Cleopatra and Wu Qiu's departure had already been reported by the Knights of Favonius guarding the gate. But Qin's desk was piled high with reports, and it was unclear when they would even be discovered.
"Yes, Sister Ying, let's go see Xiao Qiu Zi. He must know he was wrong."
Paimon chimed in. Ying hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Never mind, let's see him later."
"Oh~" Paimon was a little disappointed, but Amber said, "Don't worry, Noelle is very reliable. With her taking care of Wu Qiu, you can rest assured."
"Okay." Nodding, the three continued on their way. After finishing their meal, they would head to the Knights of Favonius to see if they needed any further assistance.
Just as they were about to reach the gates of the Knights of Favonius, a figure approached from afar. It was a young man, dressed in luxurious clothes, with a servile demeanor.
Upon seeing the screen, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward, asking, "This must be the popular traveler from out of town who's currently making waves in Mondstadt?"
Ying frowned slightly, and Amber stepped forward. "Hey! Luvana, what are you doing!"
The guy named Luvana chuckled and said, "It's nothing. In view of your contributions to Mondstadt, as a nobleman, I will exempt you from the requirement of kneeling as a commoner."
"However, I, Lovana Lawrence, would like to invite you to lunch. Would you be willing?"
Ying walked past him without hesitation, saying, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
Luvana was taken aback, then turned to look at Ying and said angrily, "Hey, you lowly commoner! You stop right there!"
"You think I'm asking for your opinion? Don't be ridiculous. This is an invitation from a nobleman. You should accept immediately and be extremely grateful. This is basic etiquette for a commoner when facing a nobleman."
Chapter 81: A Different Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain
“I’ve investigated you. There’s a guy named Wu Qiu who came with you. That guy is obviously a good-for-nothing, and you’re just a burden by having him with you.”
"And if you come with me, I'll give you the treatment of a nobleman in Mondstadt, let you enter the world of nobility, and escape your commoner status. After all, instead of living a life of hardship outside, come to my Lawrence family, be my woman, and I'll give you wealth and luxury."
Ying stopped, turned her head, and glanced at him sideways without saying a word. That look was dangerous, clearly carrying a warning.
Luvana felt a chill run down her spine, but quickly retorted, "Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that. You can tolerate having a good-for-nothing with you, but you wouldn't even want to be my woman? Or do you think I'm inferior to that good-for-nothing?"
The scene fell silent instantly. Ying looked calmly at Luvana. Just as the silence became somewhat eerie, a slight smile appeared on Ying's lips.
"He's a good-for-nothing, but you're not as good as him."
It was a very calm sentence, yet it revealed Ying's stance. Ying had expected Luvana to be furious, but he wasn't. He was only slightly taken aback, then chuckled.
"Interesting woman, you make me angry, but right now I don't want to do anything. I like to see someone despair."
"The Dragon Disaster is causing widespread panic. You'll soon realize that what you need is a man who can protect you, not a useless coward hiding in the background."
After saying that, he turned and left. If Wu Qiu could hear this, he would probably be very excited.
It's because he finally encountered a decent villain. It's not easy; other villains create countless opportunities for the protagonist to show off and get humiliated, but the villain Wu Qiu encountered only sabotaged his own efforts.
Today, this Lovana is so damn serious that Wu Qiu couldn't even imagine that there would be a villain in this book who would treat him as the protagonist and give him the opportunity to show off and be humiliated.
Once Lovana was out of sight, Paimon crossed his arms and said, "Hmph! How could that be? How could he say such a thing about Akiko!"
Amber shook her head beside him, "There's nothing we can do. It's your sister Ying who cares so much about Wu Qiu. And Luvana is attracted to Ying, so it's normal for him to target Wu Qiu."
"Little Qiuzi, is there any danger?" Ying asked. Amber shook her head. "Don't worry, the Lawrence family is an old noble family. They can barely survive in Mondstadt themselves. How could they possibly have the ability to deal with others?"
However, after saying that, Amber looked at Ying and said, "But don't be angry when I say this. Although Luvana is annoying, it seems... what he said isn't entirely unreasonable..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Ying cautiously, "Ying, you seem to be protecting Wu Qiu too well..."
The words were phrased tactfully, but the meaning was self-evident. Ying then looked towards the hotel where Wu Qiu was, and finally spoke slowly, "For me, who has just awakened, Xiao Qiu is of great significance. If he is willing to stay by my side, I am willing to protect him for the rest of my life."
Her brother's image reappeared in her mind. She lowered her head, as if to grab the shooting star pendant on her chest, but grasped at nothing, and could only place her hand on her chest in the end.
"It would be very painful to lose your only support in this unfamiliar world."
................................................
"Ah!"
Wu Qiu sneezed, pulled her coat tighter, and sniffed. "What's going on? I'm not cold at all. Did someone insult me? Someone must be jealous of my stunning good looks, absolutely!"
Lost in thought, Wu Qiu Keli and Noelle sat by the fire, each holding a bowl of soup, discussing their plans to go up the mountain.
"Ahem!" After coughing, Wu Qiu said solemnly, "First of all, I am very grateful for everyone's help. I am extremely grateful."
Noelle smiled slightly but didn't say anything. Klee, holding up her bowl, spoke very seriously with her cute face: "Klee's bomb will help in the best of its ability."
"Stop!" Wu Qiu pressed Ke Li's head down. Then, with a pleading tone, he said, "Little darling, you must listen carefully to what I'm about to say, and please don't do anything reckless."
As Wu Qiu looked at the snow-capped mountain, he still felt a little uneasy. He had just done some research and found that the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain was very different from the one in the game.
First, there's the size. Dragonspine Mountain is much larger than the entire city of Mondstadt, covering an area of about one-tenth the size of the Mondstadt region. Keep in mind that's one-tenth of the entire Mondstadt; that's incredibly vast.
Secondly, the climate of Longji Snow Mountain is extremely harsh, not only due to the cold, but also because of the many sudden disasters. Among them, the most likely and most dangerous, as you may have guessed, is avalanche.
Third, what do you think the monsters inside are? Fatui? Hilichurls? Or the Treasure Thieves? None of these.
The Fools are human; how could they possibly stay in Dragonspine forever? Hilichurls also need a habitat; they do exist there, but in small numbers, and each one is incredibly powerful.
After all, a Hilichurl that can survive in such a harsh environment is definitely not comparable to an ordinary Hilichurl.
The most dangerous creatures there are the demonized snow wolves, demonized snow bears, and demonized snow eagles. These are just ordinary wild animals outside, but they have become demonic beings in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
His attack power and destructive force far surpass those of Hilichurls. After all, stripped of their monster appearance, Hilichurls are still somewhat human-like, while these creatures are true beasts.
Of course, these are not the main issues. The most dangerous groups inside are two. Wu Qiu had already met the first one, and that was the Frost Swindler Flower.
The terrain and climate of the Dragonspine Mountains are almost perfectly suited to the Frost Lizard, making it a gathering place for Frost Lizards and the place with the most Frost Lizards in Mondstadt.
Thinking about this, Wu Qiu didn't know what to feel. Wu Qiu always remembered the name Shuangxue, and Binghen was a gift from her.
Although they had only met a few times, the ice marks she gave them saved Wu Qiu and the others' lives several times, so this could be considered a life-saving grace.
But Wu Qiu didn't believe that all the Frost Flowers were so easy to talk to. In fact, even Frost Snow wanted to kill Wu Qiu the first time they met.
Besides the Frost-Covered Flower, there is another creature that poses a great danger in the snow-capped mountains. They are known as Snow Giants.
You guys know Trundle from League of Legends, right? The one who's super ugly and carries a big stick.
According to those who have seen them, these snow giants are roughly like this, or to be more precise: they are tall and robust, with each one easily exceeding three meters in height.
They are covered in white hair, yet they are humanoid. Their weapons are giant popsicles or icicles; if you get caught in their rear end, you're definitely doomed.
Wu Qiu had never even heard of this thing before, but the danger they faced in the snow-capped mountains was far more terrifying than that of the Frost Deceitful Flower.
After all, that huge club, if swung around, could kill a whole group at once. Not only that, this snow giant has a strong desire to attack humans; as long as it sees someone, it will definitely beat them to death.
Their destructive power completely overwhelmed the Frost Wrecker. Most of the avalanches on the snow-capped mountains were actually caused by their battles.
After saying this, Wu Qiu picked up Klee and said, "My little darling, be careful. If you throw those bombs around carelessly, an avalanche could sweep all the way from here to Mondstadt."
Klee didn't understand any of this, but she still nodded. "Okay, Klee will listen to big brother. Big brother tells Klee to do it, and then Klee will do it."
Wu Qiu nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. It seemed that Ke Li was still quite obedient, though sometimes she would unintentionally do some dangerous things.
But that's the scariest part! Wu Qiu has to keep an eye on Ke Li, or they'll definitely be buried by an avalanche.
Turning his head, Wu Qiu looked at Noelle and said, "Noelle, we'll have to rely on you this time. You'll be the main damage dealer on the trip to the snow mountain."
Noelle nodded, picked up the Sealed Greatsword and shook it. "Don't worry, this time I'll only be stronger than last time."
Wu Qiu felt relieved and gratified. If Paimon were here, he would definitely look at Wu Qiu with disdain and say, "Hey, that's it? What are you doing?"
Wu Qiu would definitely shamelessly reply, "I would definitely be shouting 'Awesome! 666' from the sidelines."
But obviously Noelle and Klee wouldn't say that, so Wu Qiu was very touched.
However, seeing Noelle holding the greatsword, Wu Qiu thought of something else and said, "Hey, Noelle, do you want a weapon of god-level?"
Noelle: "Hmm?"
Chapter 82: Mountaineering Suit
"A god-level weapon? Of course I want one, but it's impossible. How could I possibly obtain a weapon of that level?"
