Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 195 Fist 15 Meng

"That's right! Ah, the traveler is absolutely right, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

Watching Paimon and Ying sing in unison, Abedo pondered for a moment before realizing his own emotions.

Is this a common flaw among geniuses? When thinking about a problem, they arrive at the optimal solution immediately, thus ignoring their own feelings.

Looking at Abedo like this, Huiyuan inexplicably thought of the little grass god in the story.

Because they were born as gods, their innate wisdom surpasses that of all other creatures.

Birth is the pinnacle of wisdom, but being born deprives us of the right to grow, thus losing the most important part of growth: learning to love and cherish ourselves.

Abedo imagined the situation where he had to spend a lot of time redrawing his sketchbook because the Hilichurls had stolen it, and he felt how he felt.

"...That's true. Redrawing is a hassle, and I don't like it."

Seeing that the other person had finally figured it out, Paimon began to wonder why Abedo had ignored his feelings.

"I guess it's because Aberdo is a genius, right? Look, you have so many skills that others don't, and you understand so many principles that Bill doesn't! Sometimes, people like that tend to overlook details. Is that the downside of being smart?"

Seeing that Paimon had spoken his mind, Huiyuan joked, "Abedo said Paimon is very smart."

Aberdo nodded in agreement and then teased Paimon.

"Yes, Paimon is a very interesting creature."

Everyone's started playing Paimon, how can Ying fall behind?

Then Ying gave a wicked smile and said, "Paimon wouldn't have any drawbacks either, would it?"

Everyone stared at Paimon, revealing knowing smiles.

Paimon was furious upon hearing this. He'd been praising himself the whole time, and now this was a self-deprecating remark! He was very angry!

"Ugh—don't drag me into this when I'm spouting platitudes!"

Paimon gets angry and the consequences are severe. At best, he'll get 10 plates of sweet flower-stuffed chicken; at worst, he'll get an unpleasant nickname.

To avoid being given a nickname, Aberdo changed the subject.

"Seleus said before that the Hilichurls of the Snow Mountains would attack adventurers and rob them of supplies. We're probably going to one of their strongholds."

Ying nodded and said, "The Hilichurls here are very strong."

Huiyuan clenched his fist and added, "Well, normally I can knock out a Hilichurl with just one punch, but I need three punches to knock out the Hilichurls here."

Upon seeing this, Abedo nodded.

"I think... this is still related to 'dragons.' The corrupting power within the remains of Durin strengthens monsters. Coupled with the frigid climate, some snow-capped mountain areas have become uninhabited. Traveler, could you please draw your sword?"

Ying did not refuse and took out the demon sword.

Seeing that the dark purple light had brightened even more and the demonic sword seemed to still be emitting black mist, Abedo continued his explanation.

"In every battle on the snow mountain, this sword absorbs power and stores it within its blade. Furthermore, due to your purification, the power that was originally tainted by the dragon's blood seems to have been purified... This is a very interesting phenomenon."

As he spoke, Abedo took the magic sword in his hand and tested its sharpness.

Before his fingers even touched the sword, Abedo felt a resistance, which was clearly a manifestation of the sword's power overflowing.

But this overflowing power doesn't seem to dissipate; it remains firmly locked around the sword.

"Although I knew you had this power, I still don't know... so this is purification. Seeing is believing."

"A sword that can store power must be dangerous."

Upon hearing Ying's words, Abedo nodded.

Looking at the powerful demonic sword, Paimon said with lingering fear, "Luckily, those Hilichurls didn't steal it, or we would have been finished! Just how strong those Snow Mountain Hilichurls would become..."

Hearing Paimon's words, Ying didn't take them seriously, and then looked at Huiyuan.

"Isn't Sister Lingling in more danger?"

Hearing this rebuttal, Paimon looked at Huiyuan, puzzled.

"Huh? Is Sister Lingling in some kind of danger?"

"Look, according to the combat power conversion, 1 Hilichurl is equal to 3 Boars, and 1 Boar is equal to 5 Paimons. So, wouldn't Sister Lingling be able to defeat 15 Paimons with one punch?!"

"If that's the case... it seems... that's true. Speaking of which, if this sword is so powerful, could it also absorb Abedo's power?"

Upon hearing this joke, Abedo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Hmm...want to give it a try?"

Paimon was taken aback by the sudden expression that came over him.

"Whoa! His eyes suddenly turned icy cold!"

It's not surprising that Paimon was frightened.

Imagine someone laughing and joking one second, and then suddenly changing their expression 180 degrees the next. What kind of enemy would they have to see to do that?

What? You're saying your homeroom teacher can do that?

The homeroom teacher doesn't count!

Seeing Abedor's sudden look, Ying quickly explained, "Paimon was just joking..."

Abedo knew that Paimon was joking and just trying to tease him.

However, it seems that the acting was too realistic, or rather, because he often showed this expression, it was very realistic. In addition, the sword could only absorb power by killing the opponent, which frightened Ying and Paimon.

Aberdo was slightly disappointed when his joke failed.

"No, I'm not angry. Anyway, I hope you can continue to use this sword."

"Even with this sword being so dangerous, you still trust us? How unexpected. Abedo, you seem to think so, but deep down you seem to think otherwise!"

Abedo was confused by Paimon's description of him.

"This way, that way... it's like this. As for why I trust so much... perhaps it's because of... some kind of consensus among 'outsiders.'"

"Alien?"

Looking into Ying's puzzled eyes, Abedo didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"A lonely individual...an individual different from ordinary people, like..."

Before Abedo could finish speaking, Huiyuan interrupted him.

"Because we are different, it is difficult for us to integrate into the lives of ordinary people... Abedo, you are not alone. There are many special people like us in the world, but because they are few in number, it is difficult to meet them."

After saying that, Huiyuan threw a Tongzi brand mobile phone over.

Abedo reacted quickly and caught the phone without batting an eye.

Seeing the other person's confusion, Huiyuan explained, "This is a communication device. I will give it to someone I know. During Ying's journey, you will definitely meet all sorts of people. I believe that in just a few months, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of normal social interaction, just like ordinary people."
