Chapter 11: 10. Registering in the Adventurers Guild
Chapter 10
After we destroyed all the fortifications erected by the Hilichurls in the 1st camp, we moved to the second one and to be honest there was nothing interesting there, only 2 crossbowmen and 3 regular Hilichurls with clubs, so I just shot the ranged ones, and Razor finished off the rest, and that was the end of today's campaign. What happened to the Hilichurl bodies? It turns out they dissolve within half an hour. This is how their curse works, and this is also the only reason why Hilichurls appear endlessly. As they say, as long as the Abyss exists, Hilichurls will exist. Razor and I agreed to periodically clean up the Hilichurls together, and Lisa and I teleported to Springwell.
An interesting experience, however, this teleportation. It felt like we were sucked down somewhere, pulled through a rainbow tunnel, and then pushed up near the teleportation point.
- From the sensations I received, I can probably say that teleportation occurs due to the arteries of the earth, so if there are any problems with them, do not use teleportation under any circumstances, understand, dear? - the mentor turned to me
- Yes. - I answered, and then asked a little hesitantly. - Miss Lisa, can we go to the Geo Archon statue next time?
- Do you think you can get the Geo element the same way? - Lisa immediately understood my thoughts.
- Yes.
- It will take 2 hours to get to the nearest teleportation point in the direction of Li Yue from the Anemo Archon statue, and to the next one it will take at least a day, and from there to the statue it will take about 4 hours. I'm afraid I won't have that much time. - Lisa said and before I could say anything, she added sternly.
- You can't go so far alone. If treasure thieves see you, even the presence of the eye of God won't stop them, and if, Barbatos forbid, the Fatui find out that you can use several elements at once, then you will most likely be kidnapped.
- I understand, but wouldn't it be ideal if I could use Geo for protection and creating arrows, Anemo for healing and supporting firepower, and Electro as the main combat element plus increasing mobility. - I began to broadcast with inspiration, about my plans for combat development.
- I see. - Lisa said with a heavy sigh, realizing that with such enthusiasm it would definitely not be possible to restrain the student.
- Fischl, please don't go alone, I will talk to Jean, and she will assign someone to accompany you.
- Really? If anything, then I would be glad to go with Eola. – I answered happily.
- Eola? – Lisa was pleasantly surprised, and then said with a smile. – I see you have bypassed the prejudices towards the Lawrences.
- Don't get me wrong, I, like other citizens of Mondstadt, despise the Lawrence clan, but Eola is an exception, she really deserves respect, with the way she endures all adversity and despite the attitude of others, still protects Mondstadt. Although who knows, maybe in the future she will lead the Lawrence clan and be able to wash away the stain of shame from it.
- So that's how it is. I see you are well acquainted with Eola.
- Well, maybe not personally, but you can say so.
- Interesting. – Lisa said, looking at my left eye. – Okay, let's go back, at the same time on the way you will activate another teleportation point in front of the city.
- Good.
Returning back to the city, I activated another teleportation point, which was located next to the Falcon Temple, which was not far from the city. As for the teleportation device in the city itself, Lisa warned me to activate it at night, when no one would see. Now we were standing opposite the adventure guild, where the permanent secretary of the guild, Katerina, was behind the counter.
- To the stars and to the abysses! Welcome to the adventurers' guild! - Katerina said the usual greeting.
- Hello Katerina, I brought you a new girl with the eye of God, - said Lisa, pointing at me.
- Excellent, in that case, I will now prepare the registration form. - Katerina said, looking under the counter.
- Here, fill it out, please. - She handed me the form and a fountain pen.
I had to write down quite standard things. Name, age, origin, if there is an eye of God, then what element and finally the main type of weapon that I use.
In the end, I got this:
Name: Fischl von Luftschloss-Narfidort (Avnas).
Age: 14 years old.
Place of birth: Mondstadt.
Eye of God: Electro.
What weapon do you use: Bow.
Having glanced over my form, Katerina nodded and turned to Lisa.
- I understand that you will be her guarantor? After all, as a rule, we do not accept under 16 years of age into the guild.
- Yes, today, under my supervision, she killed 4 hilichurl crossbowmen and one regular hilichurl, and I also took her as an apprentice.
- Good. Tomorrow at 11 am there will be a test for weapon proficiency. Please do not be late.
- Thank you, goodbye.
After saying goodbye to Katerina, we headed to the Ordo Favonius headquarters to meet with Djinn.
- Tell me, Fischl, why did you put 2 names on the form? I thought you didn't like using the name "Amy" - Lisa asked.
- Well, I don't really mind being called Amy, it's just that these are both my names, but I like the name Fischl better.
- Really? What's wrong with the name Avnas? - Lisa asked, noticing that I always use the shortened form of the name.
- I... I read that this name corresponds to the name of a high-ranking demon and I don't like my name to correspond to it a little. - I hesitantly gave the reason, after all, even if it was slightly truncated, but I have experience of a past life and it's not so important for me that everyone calls me by the name Fischl.
- Where did you read that? - the mentor was surprised.
- Well, I don't think it matters, it's unlikely that you can find this book in Mondstadt now. - I answered evasively.
- So that's how it is. - Lisa thought about something for the umpteenth time.
The rest of the way to Jeanne's office, except for greeting familiar passers-by, we spent in silence. Having reached the office door, Lisa first knocked, and then calmly entered.
- Lisa? Fischl? Did something happen? - Jeanne asked, seeing how her friend entered the office and tiredly sank down on the sofa, and I, having closed the door behind me, remained standing, not knowing where to go.
- You can say that, Jeanne. - the mentor sighed heavily and, turning to me, said. - Fischl, show her.
There was no need to ask again what exactly to show, it was clear that he meant the Anemo element. Therefore, under the curious gaze of the master, I stretched out my hand forward and formed a small Anemo vortex on my palm.
- Anemo? But how is this possible? - Jeanne was surprised.
- This is where everything gets interesting.
- Cutie, come sit next to me, the conversation will be long. – Lisa told me.
It took Lisa about 30 minutes to tell me how I got the Anemo element, and also share her thoughts on this matter, as well as getting another element.
- I see, so you want to be escorted to the Geo Archon statue, and I teach you how to heal? – Djinn asked me.
- Now that you're talking about it, it seems like I'm asking for too much. – I answered a little ashamed, remembering how much workload Djinn has.
- Oh no, don't worry, I don't mind working with you, it will honestly even allow me to unwind a little from the routine. Besides, Master Varka is capable of living without a deputy. And I'll probably escort you to the Geo Archon statue myself, I think it's high time to take a vacation before the new Expedition starts. - said the knight dandelion, something I couldn't even imagine, and judging by Lisa's shocked face, she was of the same opinion.
- Okay, Fischl can go, and tomorrow after the exam at the guild, come to my office.
- Thank you very much. - Having thanked and said goodbye, I left the office heading towards the training ground, I would still like to complete the daily task for the rest of the weapons.
Meanwhile in the office.
- Genie, did something happen? This is the first time I've seen you take a vacation? - Lisa said worriedly.
- You know about this rumor, right, that Varka allegedly slipped me a document with an appointment to the position of master? - Having waited for a nod from her friend, she continued. - Actually, before it was just a joke, but yesterday he really slipped me this paper. So I was looking for a convenient excuse to take a vacation and until he apologizes, I will not return.
- Um, Jinn, under such conditions, he will most likely apologize to you tonight. - Lisa expressed her opinion, remembering how much work her friend had done.
- In that case, I will still be on vacation for at least a week. - Jinn simply answered, and then turned to her friend in a slightly more serious tone.
- Lisa, you also wanted to say something about Fischl, right?
- Yes, do you remember you told me how she told you that she saw the future with her left eye?
- Yes, that happened. Do you think she told the truth? - Jinn asked doubtfully.
- I don't know about the future, but she certainly knows more than would be possible for her age. And she, apparently, knows Eola well, although she has never seen her, which seems strange, because without knowing her personally, based on the surrounding rumors, it is almost impossible to have a good impression of her, because of the Lawrence clan. And she trusted us too easily, as if she knew us in advance.
- Maybe so, but what she told me was too vague, maybe I'll ask her more details during the hike. In the meantime, I think I'll need to contact Albedo to try to figure out how to use teleportation devices for those who can't control internal energy, and I'll be grateful if you help him.
- Don't worry. I myself would be glad not to waste time on a long walk. - Lisa answered with a smile.
