Waypoint

Calla City, Knight of Favonius headquarters. Rizark's office.

"The situation is dire. We didn't expect them to be this persistent. So you're saying they want the lake?"

"Their goal should be the ley line within the lake, Captain Rizark. The power to expel curse isn't that right Ronan?"

Hertha confirmed Rizark's question. I with Lumine, Eula, and Paimon were sitting on the couch. I was between the two girls.

Hertha and Rizark sat opposite to us.

I nod my head.

"You're right. I cannot divulge some things for now as I don't know if my information is correct. In my travels, I found secret information about the Abyss Order. But this information isn't proven. What I know is that the Abyss Order is trying to find a powerful cure for curses."

I explained to them. I didn't say anything about Abyss Order's origin as that would make things complicated.

"I see... This time, The Abyss Order sent dozens of Abyss Mages and Ruin Guards. We weren't able to trace where they appeared. They appeared out of nowhere." Rizark said.

"We need to tell Acting Grandmaster Jean for this matter. I don't think the Abyss Order would make a move right now. According to the scouts we sent, We found out that they are making preparations. I don't know what this preparations are for." Hertha said.

"They are also barricading the path toward Mondstadt, our messengers aren't able to send the letters."

"Lumine and Ronan, I have a commission for the two of you. I want you to deliver the message to Acting Grandmaster Jean." Rizark looks at me and Lumine.

"Shouldn't we be needed in the city?" I asked. I don't want to leave Eula here. The city is in danger, I can imagine what will happen if the Abyss Order can gain a foothold.

Rizark eyes glance at Eula beside me. He scratched the back of his head. His happy-go-lucky personality was serious.

Eula seems to sense it. "Ronan, Do not worry about me. Just a bunch of motley crew, I can handle them well."

"You know, I'm not doubting your strength."

I turned my head to Eula and said with worries in my eyes. I've already become a worrywart because she's my woman.

"Eula is right, Those mongrels cannot break easily in the city. We still have Elemental Cannons and some defense mechanisms. It will give us time before the reinforcement comes." Hertha said, she also seemed to notice my closeness with Eula. She grinned but she also reassured me.

I stare at Eula's eyes longer, trying to find any discomfort but she is filled with calmness and confidence.

"Promise me, when things get dire. You shall not endanger your life."

"You know, I'm a captain of Knight of Favonius, right? How can I prioritize my life before the citizens? It's my honor."

"This is why I'm afraid."

My back slumped slightly. I really need to get stronger. I need Primogems. More primogems. Oh right, how could we forget Artifacts?

In this world. 5-Star artifacts have only one type of set that exists. There are plenty of 4-Star artifacts and below but not 5-Star.

As for why 5-star artifacts have only one set, it's because its stats are OP. Apart from Flower and Feather; which are fixed, HP and Attack stats. Sands, Goblet, and Circlet are the most amazing things about it. You can pick any stats you want to equip.

Furthermore, it has every sub-stat and can level up with level upping your artifact. It's 5-star for a reason.

But, Finding this kind of Stat is very difficult in real life. Hundred times more difficult.

Enough with the Artifacts. We have a situation.

After some consideration, Lumine and I accepted the Commission. This should be a question, bah who cares?

I and Lumine packed up.

We will deliver the Letter to Mondstadt. As for why such a turn of events. I looked at Lumine, she already got her Element. That means it's time for the main plot.

The world revolves around her.

"Ronan, you don't have to worry. We can come here in no time." Lumine said.

"What do you mean?"

"There is a teleport waypoint, using that we can be in this city in an instant."

"Huh? There is a waypoint? How come I didn't see it?"

"Maybe it's because you didn't encounter them. The people here think it's an ancient gimmick but for me, I can use it to make a path."

Lumine explained. Using her starlight, Lumine can perceive the usage of the structure. As for who built it, I can think of someone. But I don't have proof.

"That's convenient. Lumine you're amazing as always. Can I hug you?"

I wanted to hug her petite body.

"You just find it convenient because so you can see your girlfriend."

"Hahaha, Well..." I scratch my head.

"Hmph." Lumine walked quickly. Unbecoming of her, where did she learn to act cute?

"Ronan, what did you do Lumine? Why is she acting like that? Did you feed her something?" Paimon asked.

"Nothing, she is just in her puberty."

"Puberty? What is that? Is that food? Is it delicious?"

Paimons asked enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling in delight, drool dripping from her mouth. She giggled as her feet danced.

I ignored her and jogged toward Lumine to catch up with her.

Today we can't finish our commission as the situation cannot be on hold like in the game. If I want to get stronger, I need the Primogems rewards from the commission.

I'll have to find a way.

...

"The Abyss Order is serious. They are not letting anyone proceed to Mondstadt." I said.

Looking at the narrow path. According to the Map, if you want to go to Mondstadt from Calla City, this is the only road. Because between Calla City and Mondstadt, there is a huge cliff.

We've seen Merchants getting struck not far from where the Abyss Order is. Unusually, The Abbyss Order ignored the Merchants.

Although, Lumine and I are strong. We can't handle that. It's not impossible but it's very difficult and we don't want to take risks.

If it were only a few Mitachurls and Hilichurcould we could handle it. There 4 types of Abyss Mage.

"Lumine isn't this the road where we've been yesterday?"

Paimon pointed. Lumine nodded but then her eyes glinted. She looked at me with shining eyes.

"What?"

"We can go through that path without fighting."

"How?"

"Teleport Waypoint." Lumine put her hand on her hip, one finger up. She proudly said.
