Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Kong woke up in Chen Gehu's own room and discovered that he was the last one to wake up in the traveler group.

You have to know that usually Kong gets up, takes care of himself, finishes morning exercise and prepares breakfast, and then Paimon and the dazed Su appear.

"Are you awake?" Paimon urged Sora, "Hurry up and eat breakfast! We'll go out for exercise after breakfast."

Paimon muttered to himself, thinking that they must have been eating and chatting or drinking tea and chatting in Wanmin Hall recently, which made Sora lack sufficient activities and exercise.

Breakfast was a fried egg with a slightly burnt edge but surprisingly good taste, paired with a small bowl of salad mixed with sunset apples, sunset berries and sweet flowers. After Sora finished eating and cleared the tableware, the traveler team officially started a new day.

——*——*——

After tearing yet another Ruins Guardian wandering in the wild into pieces, Kong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Su used a branch to push away the scraps of copper and iron, picking and choosing to find the core and strange circuit boards. These can all be sold to the Adventurer's Association, and maybe Liuyun Zhenjun, who likes mechanisms, will also be interested in these, so he can give some to her.

"How strange," Paimon stroked his chin, posing as a famous detective, "Are there too many guards of these ruins?"

The Relic Guardians are scattered all over the world. These creatures appear from nowhere and seem to have existed for hundreds of years.

They usually lose power and collapse to the ground. They will only trigger the attack mode when they are approached. After they eliminate the target or the target runs out of range, they will lose power and collapse to the ground again.

After listening to Paimeng's popular science, Su felt that the energy of this thing was too long-lasting!

Su's head was suddenly filled with all kinds of advertising slogans - "One session is better than six sessions!", "Charge for three minutes and beat someone for an hour" and so on.

"There's something wrong with their movement patterns as well," Sora judged with certainty, "The duration and range of their activities have greatly increased."

Finally, the Traveler Team decided to go down the mountain and leave, intending to report to the Liyue General Affairs Department or the Thousand Winds Army.

As a result, as soon as they got down the mountain, they met a Thousand Rocks soldier who was on patrol. The other party also took the initiative to come over to remind the traveler team to be careful of the ruins guards who had been behaving abnormally recently.

"The Qianyan Army Headquarters has recently received multiple reports of sightings of some ruins guards who shouldn't be there, wandering around in places they shouldn't be." The Qianyan Army's Dai Pai shared intelligence with the Traveler Squad. "The instructor sent people to track down the source of these ancient machines and found that they seemed to have suddenly emerged from a ruin."

"Huh?" Paimon was puzzled. "Did someone poke the ruins guards' nest and wake them up?"

That's why so many ruins guards suddenly appeared.

Sora's analysis was much more reliable. "It sounds like there's some secret factory producing these Relic Guards."

"Your conjecture makes a lot of sense," Dai Pai nodded, "but we can't enter the ruins to explore before the headquarters approves it."

The headquarters believes that it is extremely dangerous there. Currently, the Qianyan Army has increased the number and scope of patrols. The first priority is to ensure the safety of ordinary people in the wild.

"I see." Since the Qianyan Army already knew about this, the Traveler Team was no longer in a hurry to go down the mountain.

Moreover, the team of travelers discovered some footprints of the ruins guards on the hillside and prepared to follow them to search for some clues.

"A thousand rocks are strong and unshakable. Salute you!" After hearing the plan of the Traveler Team, Dai Pai performed the Thousand Rocks Army etiquette to them, "After I finish this patrol, I will meet up with you as soon as possible to help."

"No need for help," Although they appreciated Dai Pai's kindness, the Traveler Team really didn't need it, "We'll take care of it!"

After separating from Dai Pai, the traveler team returned to the hillside. There were many muddy footprints on the grass soaked by the night rain. These footprints looked square, and one was as big as a dining table.

"What big footprints! And there are so many of them!" Paimon took Kong and Su to track and eliminate the guards of the ruins all the way, and finally met a little boy wearing the clothes of the Kingdom of Winter.

The little boy had orange-brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin dotted with cute little freckles.

"So big! So majestic!" The little boy jumped happily in front of a powerless ruins guard as if he had seen his most beloved toy.

"It's dangerous, kid!" Paimon shouted to the little boy, "Little boy, what are you doing there alone?"

Paimon looked around, but there was no one nearby who looked like the child's parent.

"Hello, brothers and sisters," the little boy introduced himself politely, "My name is Toke, and I'm playing with my righteous friend, One-Eyed Little Treasure."

"One-eyed little treasure?" Paimon looked at the huge ruins guard lying on the ground, "Is there such a cute name for it?"

"Kaia called them 'big iron monsters'," Su added. He also gave her an iron ball that could temporarily disable these robots.

"I didn't expect Kaia to be so childish." Paimon turned to Toke with a smile, "It's not safe for you to be here alone, little friend. Where are your parents? Let us take you back."

"I...I won't go back." Tok showed an aggrieved expression, "I came here from the distant Kingdom of Winter on a big ship to find my brother!"

Paimon scratched his head, "Then who is your brother and where is he?"

"My brother's name is Ajax, and he's the best toy salesman!" Toke was very excited when talking about his most admired brother. "He's now working at the Toy Research Institute in Liyue, and that's where One-Eyed Xiaobao was born!"

"But I don't know where my brother is..." Tok scratched his head in distress.

One-eyed Little Treasure is born

The group of travelers exchanged glances. This kid's brother was most likely a member of the Fatui.

The so-called toy research institute is a factory that produces one-eyed little... Ugh! Ruins Guardians!

"We don't know where the Toy Research Institute is, nor do we know where your brother is now," Kong half-knelt down and spoke to Tok gently, "but I know a place where there may be someone who knows your brother. Is Tok willing to go with us?"

Sora decided to take the child to the North Country Bank, as leaving an unattended child running around would definitely put him in danger.

Northland Bank is where the Fatui gather. There will always be someone who knows Toker, and there is a high probability that he is also the Fatui's brother.

Even if no one knows him, as fellow citizens of the Kingdom of Winter, they will not harm or leave Tok alone.

"I do! Thank you, brother!" Tok had a good impression of the brother he met for the first time. He felt that he was gentle, trustworthy, and a good person!

"Right! At this time..." Toke remembered the social skills his brother taught him, took out a bag and handed it over, "Here, give it to me!"
