Genshin Impact: Hello! Traveler

Chapter 45 Self-examination (Part )

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mei was silent about the old swordsman's words.

How to say it, unexpected, but also reasonable.

From the beginning, he completely stopped blindly pursuing the gods, and all kinds of comments were very sharp. Apart from her identity and strength, he didn't have much reverence for the gods.

Thinking back to how most of the people in Inazuma City looked at her with admiration or fear, the old swordsman's words gave her a lot of objective evaluations.

Compared to Liyue's Geo God, Lei Dianying is not such a perfect god.

"Haha, I have transformed myself into a mortal and listened to my presumptuous words, which may be somewhat slanderous to you. How do you feel about that?"

The old swordsman slapped his thigh and laughed, and decades of grievances in his heart seemed to be vented.

After all, how could mortals have the nerve to sit down and talk with gods in the past, not to mention that these words were almost an act of disrespect.

No invitations are needed, no duel in front of the emperor, a sip of strong liquor expresses the endless resentment in my heart, it's really happy!

Or let's do something more direct. If he practices sword for thousands of years and possesses supernatural powers, I will go straight south and wipe out the rumored dark sea.

This is the old swordsman's thought.

I am invincible at the same level, and one above me can earn hundreds of millions.

Unfortunately, the racial gap between Teyvat is too big, and it is almost impossible to cross the level.

The rebellious nature in his bones made him neither submissive to man nor fearful of God.

"That makes sense, but I can't comment on it, and I'm sorry, I can't answer it."

After all, I am not her, and I cannot understand how much your words will touch her.

"Avoiding the question..."

The old swordsman muttered as he looked at Mei who lowered her head slightly.

"But now the people are happy and the country is recovering. It can be considered as returning to the right path."

"By the way, after all the talk, let's drink! Let me see how much the gods can drink!"

The old swordsman looked sloppy. He raised his glass and gestured to the other party.

He doesn't seem to care about the other person's identity at all.

Seeing Mei's surprised expression, the drunk old swordsman also said loudly:

"I even clinked glasses with the Geogoddess when I was traveling in Liyue. Who do you think you are? I don't believe you have the intention of killing me with one blow..."

"..."

Mei was a little speechless, but when she saw the old man's funny smile, she couldn't help but smile a little.

"Dry--"

"Cheers!!" At the moment of clinking glasses, the old swordsman's glass was higher than Mei's.

Seeing the old swordsman's somewhat mischievous smile, Mei's heart couldn't help but calm down.

Although he is a mortal, his heart is precious.

Mei learned her lesson.

After several drinks, the old swordsman's face was as red as fire.

Mei was also a little drunk.

"Most people in the world have sex after drinking, but I only like to practice swordplay after drinking. Today, I drink with the gods, which is also an honor for swordsmen like me."

He stood up gracefully and kicked the sword on the ground with his foot.

The sword flipped and moved upward in an incredible way, and the old swordsman held it firmly.

"Come - today I will fight with the gods."

Light came in when the door was pushed open, and the old swordsman walked out with a somewhat shaky step.

Somewhat infected by his passionate words, Mei also left with a sword in hand.

He seemed to disagree with the fact that he had never even used a sword.

……

"I have passed down all the sword techniques of the Inazuma-ryu school - Ryuzo Song has come to learn from me."

The old swordsman stood on a rock protruding from the water on the southeast side of Feimu Village. He was still drunk, but the will to fight in his heart was getting stronger.

Opposite, a graceful figure stood, her cold face slightly flushed.

"Inazuma Narushiryu Swordsmanship...First Transmission" Mei's tone was a little hesitant when she said the last two words, but seeing the high fighting spirit in front of her, her grip on the sword tightened even more.

My confused eyes gradually became sharp.

"——Raiden Mei, learn from this!" This sentence is full of infinite affirmation.

"Mingshin-ryu... is it a new sword technique? Well, since you said it's your first time, you can strive for a breakthrough in this battle. Let me witness the difference between Mingshin-ryu and my style."

He didn't care what the gods called him, and it didn't matter what name they called him to him.

"it is good."

"How about not using divine power?"

"nature."

……

Mei looked at the old swordsman opposite her nervously.

After all, apart from the inexplicable sense of familiarity when holding the knife, I don’t know anything else now.

I wonder if I can win without using my divine power.

The sword has no eyes. Although you won't bleed when you're hit by mortal weapons, it will hurt. Moreover, for a god to be beaten by mortals is an extremely shameful thing.

(It's like a top-level kryptonian account that has all its relics melted away, and can't equip weapons, assemble a team, or operate... It degenerates into a top-level painful account.)

There was no traditional gesture of pressing down on the body and drawing the sword. The old swordsman just stood quietly and independently on the stone.

The knife in his left hand pointed diagonally at the water surface. In the sunlight, the light from the knife was brighter than the light from the water surface, and more dangerous.

The slightly open eyes on the weathered face looked at Mei's child-like posture of holding a sword, with some surprise.

Is there any mystery behind it?

Alas, we are ultimately limited by our mortal bodies and cannot fathom the intentions of the gods.

Well, let me take a look.

At that time, the world was quiet, and only the two of them were breathing.

After a while.

A slight breeze blew the dead tree up, and rotten leaves were blown onto the mirror surface.

A ripple, accompanied by the cold light of a knife.

Under Mei's surprised gaze, the old swordsman appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The white light was dazzling; it was the cold light of his sword.

"Throat Cutting"

It’s not a killing move, it’s just a courtesy to the enemy.

[So fast!]

Relying on muscle memory, Mei pressed her body forward, spun her hands, and slashed her sword towards the old swordsman's sword.

"Kill"

The old swordsman instantly swung the missing sword vertically to block Mei's attack, then turned around to let go of the sword, moved a little away, changed his hand, and immediately caught the sword, spinning in the air and slashing it.

This extremely skillful and graceful movement was completed in a flash.

[Is there such a method?]

In surprise, Mei immediately held the knife diagonally to relieve the force, and when the knife was about to hit her hand, she suddenly swung it.

The crisis was resolved.

"Wow—"

As a mortal, he was powerless to chop the shallow water with a knife, which caused waves two or three meters high and incredibly split the small pond into two halves for a short time.

"Well, you can dissolve my moves without divine power. I admire you."

He retreated like a dragonfly skimming the water, stood on the stone again, and shook the sword lightly to shake off the water droplets on it. The old swordsman was very happy.

"But from now on, I will go all out."

"This sword - stops the wind and rain."

Having traveled to Liyue before, he combined Liyue's mysterious swordsmanship with Inazuma's swift knife skills to form his own swordsmanship.

The spirit of waves and chivalry is integrated into the sword intent.

Just like a knight walking in the misty rivers and lakes, a fierce killing move suddenly attacked Meiyi, stunning her.

"Bang——" The condensed sword energy was enough to split mountains and crack rocks.

(Don’t ask, the answer is that Teyvat’s power system is a mixture of everything.)

Then the sword attacked Mei like a rainstorm and a violent wind.

Although the latter can dodge, it is also extremely embarrassing.

But from time to time, she felt pain in her body and she gritted her teeth and persevered.

If it weren't for the fact that he relied on his body and the remaining muscle memory, he would have fallen in a pool of blood.

However, I can also try to gain enlightenment about his sword.

From passive and unconscious parrying at the beginning, you can slowly catch his sword moves over time.

Kendo proficiency +1

Kendo proficiency +1

……

The sword's intent was fierce, but Mei's unique way slowly took shape in her heart.

Only by gradually understanding yourself can you live a clear life.
