My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Seeing that Amber Ying seemed a bit tired, she waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, thank you for your kindness, but I won't trouble you. My plan for this trip is to destroy a group of Hilichurls camps."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm Luminous, an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius. Destroying a Hilichurl camp is a piece of cake."

Amber nodded upon hearing this. Having previously explored the Temple of the East Wind Guardians with Luminous, she naturally had some understanding of Luminous's strength.

With Luminous's strength, dealing with Hilichurls would be a piece of cake.

Looking at Ying Anbo, who was full of energy, I felt a bit more motivated. Hmm, I can't let my guard down like this. I need to step up my efforts too.

After bidding farewell to Ying with great enthusiasm, Amber headed towards Mondstadt. However, she hadn't taken more than a few steps when she suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to her knees.

"Amber!"

Seeing this, Ying rushed over, while Paimon said in a panicked tone, "Amber, Amber has fainted! We need to go find Miss Barbara quickly!"

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Ying disregarded the task of clearing the Hilichurls' camp and carried Amber Ying towards the location of the Cathedral of Favonius.

Flying is faster than running. With this idea in mind, Paimon, unusually, found it useful. The real-life Mondstadt city was quite large. Seeing that the tiring Luminous Paimon was, he thought for a moment and said:

"Ying has done a great job. Leave the rest to me. You can rest here for a while."

After saying that, she flew towards the location of the West Wind Cathedral. Paimon, unusually, did not continue to act as a mascot but instead did something serious.

"Miss Barbara, something terrible has happened!"

After saying that, Paimon began to describe the scene he had just witnessed. After listening to Paimon's words, Barbara glanced in the direction of the door and rushed in without saying a word.

Go Barbara!

Barbara, who was running quickly, suddenly wondered if she would disturb other people if she ran like that, but she quickly decided to put that thought aside. After all, the patient was the most important thing right now.

“Miss Amber…”

Barbara, panting heavily, finally reached the location of the luminous figure after a long rush, while at this moment, purple gradually crept into Amber's pupils.

"They're here..."

Amber spoke in a somewhat low voice, and upon hearing her voice, Barbara nodded, "Yes, I'm here~"

"The messenger of the Dark King from the Land of Doomsday, from the endless scorching hell, has descended upon this land. He is searching for the Dark Lord who has come to this world."

His arrival will shatter the outer reaches of the world, and from then on... darkness will descend.

Upon hearing Amber's warning tone, Barbara's smile froze. What... what is all this?

Miss Amber, what are you saying?

Sister... what's the best way for me to handle this kind of situation?

As Amber uttered these words, a girl dressed in an exceptionally glamorous manner, clearly different from ordinary people, happened to overhear them.

“Oh? The Dark Lord... Interesting.”

The girl, dressed in what looked like a cosplay outfit, suddenly covered her left eye with her right hand and looked up at the sky in Amber's direction. Beside her, a raven imbued with powerful lightning elements understood something.

It looks like... Miss is about to enter that state again.

"Oz, in accordance with my will, seek the secrets of darkness from the one who knows the forbidden mysteries!"

The girl who suddenly appeared pointed sharply at Amber's location, and the raven named Oz, upon hearing her words, replied in a somewhat helpless voice, "As you wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, Oz rushed towards Amber's location. Having spent so much time with Fischl, Oz already knew exactly what kind of words she liked.

"Oh ho ho, a Dark Lord, huh? But before this princess who rules over darkness and annihilation, he's nothing but..."

Before Fischl could finish speaking, Barbara had already begun her actions, immediately unleashing several healing water spells at Amber's location.

"Alright, don't worry, Amber will be fine. It's not very convenient to treat her here anyway, so let's take her to the Cathedral of Favonius first."

Hearing Barbara's words, Ying nodded, and after carrying Amber on her back, the two of them, along with Paimon, prepared to walk towards the West Peak Cathedral.

"I'm not sick, so why don't I have any illnesses?!"

Amber, having regained consciousness, overheard the doctor's unconscious remark, and was met with Barbara's gentle, warm smile—a smile that could invigorate anyone just by looking at it.

"Don't be afraid of treatment, Miss Amber. Although we don't know the reason, Paimon's nervousness just now was undeniable. Anyway, come with us to the church first."

Chapter 555: Paimon, the best emergency food.

"Well, let's go check it out first. Amber, you must have said something strange before, right?"

Ying thought for a moment and said this, and Amber was stunned when she heard this: "Did I...did I say something strange again?"

Amber Ying nodded, seemingly unaware that she had said something strange: "Something like an emissary of the Dark Lord."

Upon hearing this, Amber helplessly covered her head with her hands: "Could it be that I've developed paranoia and amnesia at such a young age?"

Helpless, Amber was eventually taken to the Cathedral of Favonius by Luminous and Barbara, while Paimon, who had just been flying at full speed, slowly followed behind them.

"Phew, nothing's wrong?"

Inside the West Wind Cathedral, Amber was startled upon hearing the priest's reply: "Huh?"

Ying, meanwhile, stood with her hands on her hips, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"It's not a physical ailment, so it's completely different from what I initially guessed, like fever or brain confusion."

Hmm... does that mean Amber might actually have a second personality or something?

Ying's tone was somewhat uncertain at this moment, and Amber was subconsciously stunned upon hearing her words. Second personality...

The problem is that if you really do have such a thing, you can't just say a few ambiguous things every time you come out.

Just as Ying was thinking this, a surprised cry came from the doorway from the ordinary people. The person who came was none other than Oz the raven who appeared when Fischl obtained the Eye of God.

“My name is Oz, and I have come here to get an answer for you, Miss.”

Oz's magnetic voice rang out at that moment. After a moment of silence looking at Oz Pymon in front of him, he said, "A talking... raven?"

Oz Amber, standing before him, suddenly seemed to recall something: "You're Miss Fischl's bird from the Adventurers' Guild?"

Amber retrieved Oz's image from her memories. Although she wasn't very familiar with Fischl, she had seen Oz's image by chance before.

"Yes."

Oz readily admitted it, and Amber, recalling what he had just said, asked with some confusion, "So what is the answer you're looking for?"

Seeing this tone, Amber Oz felt somewhat helpless: "Miss wants to know what the Dark Lord is all about."

???

"Dark Lord?"

Upon hearing this name, Amber instinctively became cautious. With such an imposing title, it seemed that the Dark Lord was not to be underestimated.

But I've never heard of this name before. Could that Dark Lord be the Adventurers' Guild's next target?

Just as Amber was thinking this, Oz's voice rang out again: "That's right, it's the Dark Lord. Miss wants to know everything about the Dark Lord that Your Excellency prophesied."

Upon hearing Oz's words, Amber instinctively retorted, "Prophecy? What language?"

I know nothing about this Dark Lord. Have you got the wrong person?

Oz fell silent in response to Amber's words, while Paimon, who was not far from Oz, curiously watched the raven with its remarkably comprehensive senses.

After noticing Paimon's gaze, Ying deliberately shook her head. Look at other people's mascots and then look at yours, the difference is too big.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of rude expression is that? Paimon is very capable too!"

Noticing Ying's gaze, Paimon put his hands on his hips and said in a slightly angry tone, but just after saying that, Paimon suddenly realized that something was wrong:

"Hey, wait a minute, Paimon should just be a mascot, right? A mascot should act like a mascot. Let the fighting and killing, and the messenger-like stuff, go with the summoned creatures~"

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Oz, who had just arrived, suddenly felt an urge to switch lives with her.

Life is tough, Oz sighed, feeling that he still had too many roles to play.

Mascot, mascot is great! I want to be a mascot too, so I don't have to translate the lady's words like a broken record, and I don't have to risk my life patrolling the wilderness.

Last time, the lady even asked me to monitor Stormterror, that Stormterror that flies around in the skies above Mondstadt all day long.

Oz felt he was also working in a high-risk industry, and wished he could live like Paimon.

"Paimon isn't a mascot, he's important..."

Before Paimon could finish speaking, Paimon's voice rang out: "That's right, Paimon isn't a mascot, Paimon is an important partner!"

Wait, what happened? Why did I subconsciously fall into this trap and start thinking of myself as a mascot?

Paimon suddenly realized something was wrong. He seemed to have been misled by Amber's mascot talk, and had actually come to believe that he was a mascot.

"This is really... a fairly orthodox combination."

Looking at Ying and Paimon Oz, she whispered, "Look, miss, look at how others partner up."

Easy work, the best partner.

Looking at myself again, oh dear...

The hardest and most tiring job: serving Her Majesty the Princess.

Hey……

Life is tough, Oz sighed.

I wish I could be like Paimon.

Just as Oz felt the difference was too great, Ying's voice suddenly rang out: "No, Paimon is the best emergency food~"

Seeing Yingpaimeng joking, he immediately retorted, "That's not right! How can it be worse than a mascot!"

Seeing the commotion before him, Oz fell silent. He decided to pretend he hadn't thought about it before. Compared to emergency food, a little more work wasn't unacceptable.

At least the work is a bit tiring, and thankfully I don't have to worry about being suddenly eaten by the lady. Hmm, that Paimon... unknown race seems to be in a very dangerous situation.

Oz thought this to himself at that moment, but he quickly shook his head and remembered his true responsibilities.

I'm not here to watch the show; I'm here to gather information about the Dark Lord.

Speaking of that dark lord... could it be someone who, like you, is obsessed with novels?

Oz suddenly realized something and looked at Amber Oz, who was looking completely bewildered, with a slight suspicion in his heart.

No matter how you look at it, these people have no connection to that Dark Lord, and if there really is such a Dark Lord, the Adventurers' Guild should have relevant information.

Just as Oz's doubts deepened, Ying spoke up:
