In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

Shinri Ryoto looked at his younger sister suspiciously, feeling that something had been off about her ever since she woke up today.

Not only does he often get distracted, but he also keeps staring at his palms.

I almost bumped into a pillar on my way to the lobby.

There must be something wrong!

This is my intuition as an older brother!

Shinri Ryoto narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous glint.

Could it be that some pig dared to steal his cabbage?

Ha ha.

If he really finds out...

He wouldn't mind having another wooden bucket full of stones in the sea.

"Thoma, come here for a second!"

After calling out the butler's name, Ling Ren, with a cold smile, turned into a small corner with him.

Ling Hua didn't notice.

She stared in shock at the thumb-sized jade ring in her hand.

She can actually bring things from the future back with her!

Can the present moment be carried over into the future?

Lost in thought, she failed to notice the words floating on the jade.

Or rather, not a single person in this world can see it.

[Blessing Effect: Substitute Life]

[This jade can protect the wearer from any fatal injury.]

Chapter 51: The Wave Knight, How Wavey?

In Mondstadt, inside an ordinary inn, a large group of people gathered at the door of a room, holding exquisite invitations.

No one would be unwilling to meet the hero who defeated the dragon, the guy who single-handedly stopped a disaster.

If he joins the Knights of Favonius, he will surely become a rising star, and given time, he will definitely become a backbone of Mondstadt. If he gains enough experience, it is not impossible for him to rise to a higher level.

In any case, it's never a problem to get to know someone like that.

"I'm sorry, the traveler is not feeling well today and will not be seeing guests."

A small white figure said apologetically.

From the crowd, a man shouted, "Is that traveler injured? I'll pay for all her medical expenses, as long as she shows her face at my tavern."

Paimon's smile froze; she couldn't say whether the other person was injured or not.

He paused for two seconds before speaking again.

"I did suffer a minor injury, but thankfully it's not serious. I just won't be able to go out for the next few days."

The people weren't fools; they could easily understand the underlying meaning. So, after leaving their invitations, they all departed.

Seeing the corridor finally quiet down, Paimon breathed a sigh of relief and then went into the room.

"Uh... Traveler, are you really alright?"

Paimon floated in the sky and asked somewhat timidly.

It wasn't that she wanted to ask this question, as it was quite embarrassing, but she had no choice because the other person still had a buzzing sound coming from them, and their legs were shaking when they walked.

The traveler forced a smile.

"It's okay."

This is a lie.

To put it bluntly, the traveler canceled all his activities for today just to avoid being the one to criticize others.

Social death is also death.

Paimon forced a smile: "Haha, that's good."

……

Why is it so quiet today?

A knight walked into the tavern and asked in confusion.

The man was wearing a white shirt with several straps that wrapped around his shoulders and waist, outlining his excellent figure. Black fabric covered his lower abdomen, and a blue cloak swayed constantly as he walked.

Her unique hairstyle evokes images of the ocean and blue sky. The simple headband adds to her charm, and she wears black knee-high boots with the heels making a crisp sound as they hit the ground.

When the wind blows, her fair back is revealed, sparking the imagination.

“It’s the Wave Knight,” the bartender said, looking up and shrugging. “Everyone went to see that famous traveler, what else could it be? He single-handedly defeated the Stormterror.”

"That's it."

The woman with short blue hair nodded, didn't ask any further questions, ordered a drink, and found a quiet place to drink alone.

As time passed, half a glass of wine was down.

Yura felt a little wronged: "I tried my best too."

When the Wind Demon Dragon came, she organized the evacuation of civilians, repelled the restless monsters outside the city, and even saved a traveling merchant.

But no one ever asked her.

Everyone just thought she was a descendant of sinners and that everything she did was justified.

Some even suspect she is a mole planted within the Knights.

Biting her lip, her face flushed red under the influence of alcohol, which made the red circles under her eyes less noticeable.

"I clearly..."

Shake your head and take a deep breath.

She was a descendant of the old noble family of Lawrence, and the same blood flowed in her veins as those sinners who had once imprisoned Mondstadt in darkness.

Because of her background, she had a very poor reputation among the people of Mondstadt. The Lawrence family symbolized the ignorance and tyranny of old Mondstadt, and was equivalent to the eternal pain in people's hearts.

Every time she appears in public, it's like tearing open an old wound again.

People disliked the old aristocracy, so naturally they wouldn't give her a friendly look.

However, she resolutely joined the Knights and rose to the position of captain.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is a vague memory.

She had almost forgotten why she broke with her family and why she joined the Knights.

Looking at the bustling scene outside the city, Yura sighed.

What does any of this have to do with her?

She was just someone abandoned by the times.

"Bartender, where's your bard? It's pretty boring without him today."

Yura pouted and muttered.

The man in the white butler's uniform sat down next to him: "He's not an employee of our tavern, and he's probably nowhere to be found by now. But would you like another drink? It's on me."

Wave Knight lifted her slightly dizzy head. She wasn't a heavy drinker, but she wasn't the type to get drunk after just one drink either.

So she is still relatively lucid at the moment.

I carefully observed the person in front of me: black hair, amber eyes, and a confident and cheerful smile.

He's the kind of guy who can use sweet talk to fool girls, and his success rate is definitely not low.

But how come she's never seen him before? Is he new to the tavern?

The man smiled and extended his palm: "Nice to meet you. My name is Xu Guang. It's an honor to meet you."

Looking at the slender fingers, Yura hesitated for a moment before taking their grasp.

The city's residents usually held a deep prejudice against her, and very few people would take the initiative to seek her out.

Only Qin is different; she doesn't look at herself with prejudice.

Feeling the delicate touch of his fingertips, Xu Guang smiled and said, "Actually, I've always liked you. Every time I see your heroic figure in battle, I can't help but feel excited. Unfortunately, I've been in poor health since I was a child, and I haven't had many opportunities to be a knight. So, can I buy you a drink? Consider it a small gift for my idol."

As she listened to what the other person said, Yura's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Is this a compliment?

This is definitely a compliment, right?

She always said that hard work will definitely pay off.

The woman nodded emphatically, a happy smile spreading across her face.

Despite her capable and efficient demeanor, she is actually only a young adult. She has lived in her family since childhood, and strict rules have shrouded her entire childhood.

When they grew up and were able to go out, they encountered discrimination and hatred in Mondstadt.

Even after joining the Knights, no matter how hard she tried, there were still people who had reservations about her.

Am I going to have a fan now?

A short while later, the man returned, carrying a plate of fruit and a glass of very colorful wine.

"You seem a bit drunk. Have some fruit. This drink is one I made myself, so I don't know how it tastes yet. If you mind, I'll get you another one."

Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, Yura shook her head and said gently, "It's okay, I really like this color."

He took it as he spoke.

Perhaps because everyone was watching the travelers, the tavern was almost empty.

After putting down the fruit platter and the wine, the bartender named Xu Guang sat down and looked at her with gentle eyes.

Chapter 52: I choose you, Traveler!

Noticing that the other person was staring at her, Yura looked herself over with some discomfort.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

In addition to her usual words and actions, this surfer also put a lot of effort into her appearance in order to be accepted by more people.

However, upon returning to the city, she hadn't had time to tidy herself up before arriving at the tavern, fuming with anger.

"No, it's nothing."

Xu Guang looked away.

A slight sigh.

They're both teenagers, so why does Yura give off the vibe of a mature older sister who goes to bars to drown her sorrows, while Kurumi seems like a child who hasn't grown up?

Yes, he hasn't grown up in any sense.

The two are only three years apart in age at most.

"Oh……"

Yura nodded, then looked at the brightly colored alcohol, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp.
