The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [273]

After briefly discussing their plan, Jax set off with his group, consisting of three young adventurers. The journey had the lighthearted atmosphere of a casual outing.

“Are you sure it’s okay for me to come along, Mr. Jax? Things could get really messy because of me…” Bennett said hesitantly.

“It’s fine. Taking you along isn’t a problem. We’re just handling some routine tasks,” Jax replied with a reassuring smile.

Thus, Jax included Bennett in the group. As they followed the trade route toward Liyue, they encountered a stalled Dawn Winery wagon on the road. After helping to resolve the situation, the rescued worker explained that another wine worker had been stranded somewhere between Wangshu Inn and the Stone Gate due to a broken-down wagon.

With their next destination clear, the group prepared to locate the missing worker.

As they traveled, they eventually found the wagon overturned on the roadside. Nearby, they spotted the unconscious wine worker.

Standing next to him was a figure clad in unusual clothing—distinctly different from the styles of Liyue or Mondstadt. He appeared to be a young man wearing a large, wide-brimmed hat resembling a kasa.

“Who are you? A bandit?” Lumine asked warily, stepping forward. “That worker is employed by someone very wealthy. If you try anything, you’ll be wanted and hunted down! Besides, we’re here to deal with his condition.”

“No, I’m not a bandit,” the stranger replied calmly. “I noticed he seemed affected by the meteorite’s energy. I’ve tried several methods, but none could wake him.”

For some reason, Lumine found his voice oddly familiar—like someone she had heard before. The name was on the tip of her tongue…

“So, you’re not a bandit?” Lumine asked again. “Then who are you?”

“From what you’re saying, it sounds like there are others in a similar condition?” the stranger inquired.

“Indeed! This Prinzessin has witnessed with her very own Verurteilung’s gaze that the nightmares spread forth from the valley of the Abyss, and the townsfolk of Springvale have been tormented within their dreams,” Fischl declared grandly.

The stranger paused, confused by her dramatic words, as Oz translated helpfully. “The young lady means that many in Mondstadt have fallen into comas.”

“The meteorite’s influence seems to stretch far, then…” the stranger murmured thoughtfully. He noticed the group’s curious glances at his attire and introduced himself. “Forgive my rudeness. I am a wandering swordsman from Inazuma. I’ve just finished cleansing this wagon of meteorite fragments. That’s when you all arrived.”

“Inazuma? You’re from there?” Lumine tilted her head in curiosity. “Isn’t Inazuma under lockdown? How did you manage to leave?”

“I left long ago, before the decree was enforced. I happened to end up here by chance,” the wandering swordsman replied with a polite smile.

His gaze shifted to Fischl. “It’s rare to see someone wielding an Electro Vision. Few people have been granted one in recent times.”

“This violet jewel of thunder emerged in tandem with my loyal servant’s manifestation,” Fischl said proudly, raising her head as if basking in glory.

Jax, meanwhile, scrutinized the swordsman intently.

Though he appeared amicable, something about him felt… off.

No… This guy isn’t some innocent youth.

The depth in his eyes betrayed him. They held an air of experience, far beyond that of a mere boy. Worse, there was a faint trace of hostility.

Then it clicked.

Jax finally recognized him. This wasn’t just some wandering swordsman—it was one of the Fatui Harbingers.

Dottore, Pantalone, Signora… Childe’s the youngest Harbinger. That means all the others are older, more experienced. But this guy? Definitely not some ordinary kid.

And then, a stray thought struck Jax. Wait… wasn’t there a running joke about this Harbinger’s voice actor? Something about him voicing someone else…

Jax took a deliberate step forward, maintaining an air of friendly curiosity. His hand casually moved closer to his weapon, his spear and shield ready to spring into action.

“Wandering swordsman,” Jax addressed him warmly. “What brings you to Liyue? If you need help, we’re adventurers—capable ones at that. Whether it’s finding something or dealing with trouble, we can handle it.”

The swordsman offered a polite smile. “No need. I’m simply here on some minor business.”

Just then, a voice rang out from behind them.

“What’s going on here?”

The group turned to see a patrol of Millelith soldiers approaching. Spotting Jax and Lumine, their expressions brightened.

“Mr. Jia? Miss Lumine? Are you here to assist as well?”

The swordsman glanced at the approaching Millelith and casually stepped back. “It seems you have reinforcements for what comes next. I’ll take my leave.”

Without waiting for a response, he disappeared into the distance.

Jax watched him go, a faint sense of disappointment lingering. I thought he might make a move… Turns out he’s more patient than I expected.

“Good timing, Millelith!” Lumine said cheerfully. “There’s an unconscious person here, likely due to the meteorites. Speaking of which… is Keqing leading the efforts this time?”

Lumine’s interest was clear—she was hoping to score some goodwill with Keqing by assisting in the operation.

“Lady Yuheng is currently occupied elsewhere. We’re conducting patrols to prevent further contact with the meteorites,” one of the Millelith replied. He glanced at Bennett and Fischl curiously. “And these two are…?”

“They’re adventurers from Mondstadt. We’re handling the situation together,” Jax explained. “Mondstadt’s been affected by the meteorites too.”

“What about the unconscious individuals? How are they being cared for?” Lumine asked.

“We’ve sent some to Liyue Harbor for treatment. The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is researching ways to wake them. As for those we can’t transport yet, we’ve temporarily relocated them to Wangshu Inn,” the soldier explained.
