Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 149 The man in the big hat who can lie without batting an eye is truly terrifying!

"I'm afraid so. I've tried many methods, but I haven't been able to wake him up."

Although the skirmisher is a puppet, it has no mechanical feel at all. Its joints do not have mechanical hinges, and its skin is very similar to that of a human.

Beneath the appearance of a young man lies a body that has lived for a hundred years. His voice is very gentle, and apart from Huiyuan, no one is wary of him.

Huiyuan concealed his face and, noticing the stragglers' gaze suddenly sweeping over, hurriedly turned his head away.

(Fritz was facing the ground, but his eyes were glancing sideways in this direction. If I didn't have sharp eyesight, I probably wouldn't have noticed the gaze under his hat.)

Paimon observed the unconscious man lying on the ground and stated, "It seems he also touched the meteorite here..."

The soldier turned around, glancing at everyone with barely perceptible eyes, and began to explain in a gentle voice.

"Are you referring to the rock on the car? Don't worry, I dealt with it with magic. Did you mean by 'also' that you've seen other people who have fallen into a deep sleep?"

Fischl, completely unprepared, revealed all the information he had gathered about the meteorite.

"My eyes of judgment have witnessed the nightmare pouring out of the Valley of Demons and Corpses, and the residents of Clear Spring Town are suffering greatly from it and are tormented by it."

After the words were conveyed, Oz began to translate what Fischl had said.

"As you can see, we just came from elsewhere. There are quite a few people in Mondstadt who are in a deep sleep, with symptoms exactly like this gentleman's."

After receiving the intelligence, the skirmisher began to ponder.

"I see... It seems the meteorite caused quite a bit of damage."

Seeing the skirmisher's kind face, Paimon began to examine Fritz on the ground and analyze the situation.

"Judging from his attire, this person is a worker at Dawn Winery... We've already met Ben, so this must be Fritz!"

"The workers' clothing doesn't have many distinctive features; Mr. Paimon has a keen eye."

Having received Oz's praise, Paimon happily put his hands on his hips and began to boast.

"My memory is better than my eyesight! But, there really aren't any distinguishing features... especially compared to the person next to me."

After saying that, Paimon looked at the stragglers.

Noticing the gaze, the skirmisher smiled and said, "Haha, me?"

"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen you dressed like this."

After Paimon finished speaking, Ying added, "The hat is very big and has a lot of personality."

The soldier, without batting an eye, began to lie and introduce himself.

"I am a wanderer from Inazuma. I was just helping this gentleman on the ground when you appeared. Are you investigating the meteorite incident?"

When the stragglers asked a question, Paimon nodded and admitted, "We were entrusted by someone."

After Paimon finished speaking, everyone introduced themselves.

"I am Princess Fischl, the one who has been brought to justice, and I have stepped forward in response to the people's call!"

“I am Oz, the raven, a servant of the lady.”

"I am Paimon, the best friend of the Knights of Favonius!"

"My name is Ying, and I am indeed an honorary knight."

Noticing that one person was missing, the two people and the two flying objects turned around and looked at the evasive Huiyuan.

Sensing her gaze, Huiyuan walked over awkwardly.

"I...I am called Lingling."

The real name was not revealed. Although the soldiers probably already knew that Lingling was Huiyuan, Huiyuan was still cautious and only revealed the nickname of the skin.

The soldier narrowed his eyes and tentatively asked, "Hello, Miss Lingling... You have a familiar aura about you. Have we met before?"

"Haha...no, this is...our first time meeting!"

Cold sweat had already broken out on Huiyuan's face, and he dared not reveal the slightest flaw in his sneak attack.

Paimon looked at the strange Huiyuan with a puzzled expression.

The soldier's expression remained unchanged throughout, but Huiyuan, who knew him beforehand, didn't think that his smile represented goodwill at all.

Just as Huiyuan was sweating profusely, a soldier from the Thousand Rock Army walked over.

"Everyone, what happened?"

Upon seeing the arrival of the Qianyan Army, Huiyuan hurriedly explained the situation.

"You've come at the right time! Someone's asleep here. Come and help!"

Seeing this, the stragglers smiled slightly and said, "Since the Thousand Rock Army is here, there's no need for me. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. I wish you all the best, goodbye."

The soldier stared at Huiyuan for half a second, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Paimon waved and said "Goodbye".

Only after the stragglers had completely disappeared from sight did Huiyuan breathe a sigh of relief.

(Being stared at by him is so creepy. I definitely need to catch up on the plot next time; the skirmisher actually appeared here. By the way... the skirmisher just said he sensed a familiar aura on me. Was it because he sensed the aura of the Heart of the Wind God that he felt familiar with it?)

Not long after she had her doubts, Huiyuan stopped thinking about it.

After Paimon finished explaining the whole story, Qianyan Army nodded.

"Thank you all. This patient will be escorted to the temporary shelter by our Chiyan Army."

After Qianyanjun finished speaking, Paimon hesitated and asked, "A temporary shelter? Is it one of those big tents with people watching over it?"

"Yes. We have set up a temporary shelter at Wangshu Inn to treat patients who have fallen into a deep sleep."

After Qianyan Jun left with Fritz, the group began to discuss the matter.

After Paimon expressed his concern about Fritz, the group set off for Wangshu Inn.

Looking at the number of tents around him, Paimon said worriedly, "Sure enough... the situation here is similar to that of Clear Spring Town."

At this moment, Fischl raised his head and exclaimed loudly.

"The chilling curse has spread this far... O sky, what anger do you rage!"

Upon hearing the sudden sound, Paimon quickly covered the other person's face.

"Hey, don't shout in crowded places!"

Ignoring Fischl's loud lament, Huiyuan offered his own suggestion.

"Stop fooling around, go and find out some information."

Huiyuan revealed his identity to Qianyan Army in front of the tent, and the group began to investigate the situation.

The patient, lying on the blanket, made hoarse "ooh...ooh..." sounds.

"It seems he's been asleep for a long time... his voice is hoarse from talking in his sleep."

After Huiyuan analyzed the situation, Paimon began to speculate curiously.

"What kind of dream is he having now? Hmm... probably the dream of that snow mountain again."

After turning the patient over and discovering that the face was not Fritz's, the group went to the second tent.

Entering the tent, Paimon said, "There are people sleeping here too!"

Seeing the patient sweating profusely, Fischl silently wiped her sweat and said something childish.

"The thorns of suffering bind this soul... Poor one, may you find peace."
