And Sampo?
On the surface, he is a glib merchant, and wherever there is 'profit,' Sampo's presence can be found.
Sampo's unique intelligence makes people have no choice but to approach him, but becoming his 'client' is not a good thing.
After all, as long as the price is right, 'clients' can be converted into 'commodities' at any time.
And behind the scenes, he is also a member of the Masked Fools.
Sampo, how could he possibly be related to Bennett?
Lin Mo's gaze was deep and increasingly strange.
The rewards for these three options are also a bit outrageous.
Two materials, and a Path skill branch.
It's obvious which one to choose.
As Lin Mo looked over, Bennett was still cheerfully greeting the people around him and walking towards the gates of Mondstadt.
Bennett looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.
His emerald green eyes sparkled, and his face held a brilliant smile, exuding an optimistic and passionate aura.
He wore an adventurous outfit—a sleeveless, light-colored vest jacket that subtly showed the muscle lines on his arms, giving him a sense of strength.
A dark blue adventurer's belt was tied around his waist, adorned with several practical Alchemy bottles and tool pouches, full of utility for wilderness survival.
Most conspicuously, a red cloth band was wrapped around his left wrist.
A Pyro Vision, representing the Pyro element, was pinned to his chest, shimmering faintly in the sunlight.
And the goggles on his head made him appear even more spirited and heroic.
As if he could rush into unknown ruins at any moment and embark on a thrilling adventure.
The young man strolled leisurely, his steps light, looking full of energy, with a radiant smile on his face.
He exuded a vibrant vitality, giving people a feeling of hope.
"Haha, Uncle Saula, you look very energetic today, is there something good happening?"
"Hehe, do you want to come with me to find treasure? I found a good treasure spot yesterday, there will definitely be rich treasures, I am fully prepared this time."
"Hmm, my dads, I also went to see them yesterday, they are very lively, but unfortunately, they still haven't recruited anyone for my adventure team."
Bennett continuously greeted and chatted with people, his figure gradually moving further and further away.
[You encountered Sampo in Stonegate, he was enthusiastically greeting everyone, but having dealt with Sampo before, you knew that he must be stealthily planning something, because the more he smiled, the more plans he had, and you chose to ignore him.]
[You received the reward for Option One. Sampo's Power of the Path branch skill — [You Are the Brightest Star]. Upon use, enemies in a certain area are inflicted with 10 seconds of Blindness. Blinded enemies cannot detect allied targets. If you actively attack a Blinded enemy, there is a 100% fixed chance to delay the action of each individual enemy target by 25% when entering combat.]
As Bennett completely walked out of the Mondstadt gates and left Lin Mo's sight, the panel in front of Lin Mo refreshed once again.
At the same time, an invisible force descended out of thin air, pouring into Lin Mo's body, making him instantly feel that he had mastered a new Path skill.
"I've already reaped the benefits?"
Feeling that he could use Sampo's Path skill at any time, Lin Mo's gaze was profound.
He did nothing and directly received the reward.
And it was such a generous reward, giving him a feeling of a windfall.
Should he frequently wander in front of Bennett and build a good relationship with him?
If so, would he be able to continuously trigger option rewards?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.
It seems worth considering.
The next second, Lin Mo thought of the description of this Path skill.
This thing is really practical.
Not only does it blind the target for ten seconds, but it also delays the opponent's speed by 25%.
If you add Seele's Secret Art, which is about to be acquired, that would be thirty seconds of free time, just thinking about it is exciting.
Just then, a voice full of confidence and pride suddenly rang out in the morning light, carrying a hint of arrogance, as if destiny had descended.
"Hmph hmph hmph—the chaotic night has dissipated, and the gears of fate turn once again, for you have finally welcomed the companion of supreme condemnation!"
"I am—Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung who commands the darkness of night!"
Accompanying this declaration, like the opening of a play.
A purple figure, with confident steps, slowly walked from one end of the street.
The morning light fell on her golden hair, and a gentle breeze caressed her magnificent black and purple Gothic skirt.
The lace hem fluttered softly, like a noble princess of the night descending upon the human world.
And on her shoulder, a black night raven flapped its wings and flew.
Accompanying her appearance, it circled once in the air, emitting a long, low cry.
However, the next second, Oz looked at Lin Mo, sighed slightly, and translated: "My Prinzessin means, she has arrived."
Lin Mo: "..."
Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked up at this confident "Prinzessin der Verurteilung."
Is Fischl not tired of being like this all the time?
On the other side, Klee was completely stunned.
She widened her eyes, looking at Fischl who had suddenly appeared, her small head trying hard to digest Fischl's series of complex and incomprehensible self-introductions, her eyes full of bewilderment.
"Eh?"
She stared blankly at Lin Mo, then at Fischl, and finally couldn't help but ask softly: "Brother Lin Mo... is This Prinzessin our companion?"
"...Uh."
Before Lin Mo could speak, Fischl had already crossed her arms, smiled proudly, her golden eyes full of confidence.
"Foolish witch! Have you not even heard of This Prinzessin's renowned name?"
"This Prinzessin—Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort, is the guide beneath the dark wings, the sole true knower between heaven and earth, the weaver of fate!"
"What an honor it is for you to journey with This Prinzessin today!"
Klee: "???"
At this, little Klee's small head completely couldn't keep up with Fischl's chuunibyou language, and she was utterly bewildered.
She looked at Lin Mo with a confused expression, her eyes full of questions, as if asking: "She... what is she saying?"
Lin Mo sighed helplessly, then turned to look at Oz.
The night raven gently flapped its wings, as if accustomed to Fischl's rhetoric, and slowly translated:
"My Prinzessin means, her name is Fischl, and she is your companion for this journey."
Klee: "Oh oh!"
Hearing Oz's translation, Klee suddenly understood, and immediately nodded happily, an excited smile appearing on her small face.
"So it's a new friend!"
Klee excitedly ran to Fischl, tilting her small head, a innocent smile on her face: "Klee is called Klee! Klee is the Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, Big Sister Fischl, are you also going on an adventure with Brother Lin Mo?"
Fischl was momentarily stunned by the address "Big Sister."
Then she lightly coughed and put on an arrogant demeanor: "Precisely, the Night's Covenant has been forged, and I shall join hands with you all to conquer unknown fates!"
Oz: "My Prinzessin means, she will go on an adventure with you."
Klee: "Hehe, that's great!"
Klee happily patted her backpack, making dull "thump-thump" sounds, her eyes full of anticipation: "Klee brought so many bombs today! We'll have so much fun blowing things up later!"
Lin Mo: "..."
—This little one... really doesn't know how to hold back.
However.
The next second, Lin Mo looked at Fischl with a strange expression.
Klee actually didn't know Fischl?
Or rather, didn't recognize her.
But yesterday, he heard Fischl say she knew the witch Klee.
One-sided recognition?
Or?
Never mind.
Shaking his head, Lin Mo stopped thinking, and instead let out a soft breath, his gaze sweeping over Klee and Fischl, and he smiled faintly: "Alright, everyone's here."
