vIn the Whispering Forest

The traveler and Paimon, who had just arrived in Mondstadt, experienced the most thrilling adventure in the world. They didn't want to experience the despair of being unable to stand or breathe again in this life.

The traveler looked at the fainting blue-green dragon in front of her, and then looked at the cloudless sky above her head. It was hard to imagine that she had just been talking to such a monster under the same blue sky.

He turned around and pulled up Paimon, who was still buried in the leaves and pretending to be dead.

"Ah, Mr. Long, don't eat me!"

"That Mr. Dragon has flown away." The traveler looked at Paimon's surprised look and felt amused.

How could a strong man of this level look down on us two little meats? It's not enough to squeeze between his teeth. Generally, monsters with this kind of power and coercion eat the earth and drink magma in her impression.

"Phew, I was scared to death. I thought I was really going to be crushed to death just now." Pamon patted his chest with his hand to calm down.

"That Mr. Long looks so cute, but he is actually a strong man with terrifying power." The traveler looked up and looked in the direction where Gein was flying away.

I vaguely remembered something very important.

"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to tell people my name just now. It's really rude." The traveler said embarrassedly, touching his face.

Paimon, who was flying next to him, poked the shy traveler with his little hand.

"Um, traveler, actually you didn't tell me your name." Xiao Paimeng said something shocking, hitting the traveler's defense line hard again.

"Ah! Didn't I tell you too!?" The traveler collapsed even more. She has become so forgetful now. Could it be the fault of that maintainer at that time?

That must be the case.

"Okay, sorry, Paimon, let me introduce myself again." The traveler came face to face with Paimon.

"My name is Ying."

"My name is Paimon."

"Please give me more advice in the future." Paimon said with a smile behind his back.

"Please give me your advice."

"By the way, without further ado, let's go to Mondstadt as soon as possible. I hope we can get there before the sun sets."

Paimon circled around Ying, the starry sky scarf behind him scattering stars.

"Well, wait a minute."

Ying looked at the edgeless sword in her hand (the ultimate damaged version, whoever uses it will finish the game 2.0)

Now, if we want to evaluate this sword, it is not an exaggeration to conclude that there is only one left.

"This sword is useless." Paimon said with a sad tone, clasping his hands behind his back.

For a swordsman, it would be uncomfortable to see his sword damaged to this extent, even if it is just an ordinary sword with no special abilities, after being used for a long time.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. As a sword, ending one's life in battle may be the best destination."

Ying activated the elements, took the broken sword back, and waited until Mondstadt to see if he could refine it into other weapons.

"Let's go and see what weapons Mr. Long left for us."

Ying took Paimon and walked a few steps quickly to the black sword dropped by Gein.

The two of them looked at the black sword on the ground with almost its entire blade buried in the soil, wondering how to pull it out.

Also, what is that thin transparent silk thread at the end of the sword hilt? Why does it look so unsafe?

"Ying, are you confident in your own strength?" Paimon grabbed Ying's scarf. There was no need to say anything clearly between the two of them. It was already clear what they should do next.

Ying nodded and joked. Even if you don't have confidence, you still have to have confidence. What if the dragon wakes up later and doesn't even have a weapon for self-defense, it will be completely ruined.

With a look of disgust on his face, he stretched his hand towards the hilt of the sword covered in mucus. The cold and slippery touch made Ying feel uncomfortable in his heart.

But now the arrow is on the string and we have to take action!

Grasp the hilt of the sword with both hands and squat down halfway.

"On the count of three, use your strength." Paimeng tightened his grip on his scarf, as if he had already decided to fight.

"1,2,3!"

The two of them tried their best, and the next moment, they were surrounded by a feeling of weightlessness.

...

Who am I and where am I are lingering in the minds of the two of them, wasn't I drawing my sword just now, why am I lying on the ground now.

Clean blue sky, soft grass, and moist soil.

There is also the cold and hard touch in the hand, which tells Ying that the sword has been drawn out now?

"Hey, what's going on with this sword? Why does it feel so smooth to draw?" Pamon rubbed his butt and flew up from the ground.

Ying held the hilt of the sword with her left hand and held the sword body with her right hand, looking at the black sword carefully.

The sword body is simple and has no unnecessary decoration. At first glance, it is just an ordinary straight sword made of excellent material. However, under direct sunlight, you can observe the mystery contained in the sword body.

Purple-blue flowing lines surround both sides of the sword's edge, like two gorgeous ribbons, adding a touch of magnificence to this black sword.

My fingers slowly touched it, and it felt like fine silk.

"It's not a mortal thing." Ying commented, although this comment sounded unnecessary.

Ying stood up, patted the grass on his legs and butt, and was about to take the sword back.

"I got a new weapon, why don't I try it out with a few swings?" Paimeng encouraged, "What if this sword has any special abilities? Now that I'm familiar with it, won't it make me more comfortable in the next battle?

?”

"That's right," Ying nodded, took out the sword again, and held it with one hand.

He walked slowly to a broken tree that had just collapsed due to a fight between two dragons.

"Just use this tree."

Bend over slightly and tense your whole body.

A circle of wind elemental power was wrapped around the right arm and the sword body to increase speed, and veins appeared on the back of the hand.

He quickly swung two crossed knives at the trees.

The moment the blade touched the tree trunk, Ying's expression changed.

"Why doesn't it feel like I've hit something?!" I've never felt this strange touch before. Just now it was like swinging a sword into the air.

But visually the sword has indeed passed through the trunk of the tree, and even the sword body has been halfway into the tree.

It has definitely been cut, but why?

"Huh? What's wrong, Ying, why are you suddenly standing in a daze?" Paimon asked aloud.

"Paimon, didn't you see it just now?" Ying looked at Paimon's questioning expression and asked in confusion.

"What did you see?"

"Swing the sword, the sword I just passed through seemed to have ignored the tree." Ying pointed at the tree, then pointed at the sword, and made gestures.

"Ah? Did you just swing your sword?!" Paimon said in shock.

"I swung, and swung twice!" Ying saw Paimon's expression, and it didn't look like he was lying.

The two of them were not fools, and they immediately guessed a possibility.

"It's the sword that did it."

The two are ready to try again.

"Ying, did you use elemental power when you swung the sword just now?" Paimon asked. She wanted to know whether the skill of this sword was active or passive.

"It's used. I just wrapped it with wind elements and increased the speed."

"Then don't use it this time, let's see what happens."

"Yeah." Ying understood immediately. She also wanted to know the conditions for launching this magical skill.

He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword with all his strength.

Just use brute force to swing against the tree trunk.

Sure enough, it was different from last time. A normal feeling of embeddedness and obstruction was transmitted to the hand, making the arm numb.

This time it was only a shallow cut less than half the depth of the trunk.

"It seems that the skills of this sword need to be driven by elemental power." Paimon nodded.

Only Ying noticed the abnormality.

Since the second swing of the knife hit the tree trunk and caused damage, where did the damage caused by the first two swings of the knife go? A skill that requires elemental power to activate cannot be just a joke that only you can see.

.

"Look, look at the place we just cut." Paimon seemed to have discovered something, pointing at the gap he just cut.

Ying leaned over and observed carefully.

"This is, two knife marks!" Ying was surprised. It was only the second time that he made a single cut, but there were two knife marks inside the tree trunk.

Could it be that this is the mark of the first swing of the knife.

Then what is the real ability of this knife?
