In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

She had been busy and worked so hard for so long, just to find the other person, but she never expected that they would meet in this way in the end.

However, she will not stop traveling.

She is a traveler, a traveler who never stops.

After seeing all the scenery, she will go to find her brother and ask him why he has become like this.

"So, how about it? Aren't you filled with many emotions?"

The sudden sound startled Ying, but upon hearing the familiar voice, she calmed down, softly hummed in response, and said, "No... well, I didn't expect my brother to become like this either."

Xu Guang would suddenly appear from who-knows-where, something travelers were already used to.

This person seems to possess some kind of magic, always managing to do some amazing things.

Approaching the blond-haired boy, Xu Guang smiled and asked, looking at his dejected expression, "I'm not very good at comforting people, but I think you need to do something else to ease your sadness at this time."

Ying asked, puzzled, "What?"

Xu Guang smiled more broadly: "Of course it's Dragon Quest! It's worth mentioning that we're going to the dream of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl. How about that? Doesn't that sound interesting?"

Ying nodded cooperatively, but her face showed more fatigue.

She thought this person was definitely up to something again, but coincidentally, she also wanted something.

At those times, my mind would always go blank, and if that were the case, I probably wouldn't have these random thoughts.

Xu Guang, observing Ying's inner thoughts, could not deny it.

He did want to do something fun, but the hero slaying the dragon was real.

Xu Guang lifted the little Paimon up with a flick of his wrist, then bowed slightly with a gentle expression: "The priest and the little pet are ready. When does the hero plan to depart?"

Ying laughed as she watched Paimon flapping his legs.

“Okay, Reverend, we can begin now.”

Paimon watched the two of them singing in unison and let out a cold laugh.

Okay, okay, you're all good people, except me.

Look, a priest and a hero.

Why do they become pets when they come to her?

Who's the pet?!

asshole!

However, she dared not say these words aloud, what if that guy retaliated?

She was just a pitiful, helpless, and weak little girl.

Xu Guang wasn't interested in the little guy's inner thoughts. He took the traveler's hand and then took a step back.

The halo of light swirled, distorting all senses.

Ying gritted her teeth, resisting the intense dizziness. In her hazy state, she felt as if a pair of hands were holding her and whispering gently in her ear.

"Don't be nervous, relax, it'll be fine in a bit."

Hearing that voice, Ying gradually relaxed her tense muscles, and then felt her willpower crumble.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she opened her eyes and stared wide-eyed at the scene around her that looked like a story.

The first thing you'll see is the ultimate color.

Those dazzling, captivating colors are scattered freely everywhere you can see them.

Orange walls, sky-blue roof, a small chimney constantly spewing out clouds of smoke, smooth and bright glass, and happy smiles on the faces of the residents inside.

This is just a house, the most ordinary house in this small town.

There are countless others that are even more beautiful than this.

So where is this?

A fairy tale?

Xu Guang snapped his fingers: "That's really clever. This is a fairy tale, just a little girl's dream. Now let's find a place to wait for our teammate. She'll be here soon."

Ying was even more confused.

Are there any teammates?

Who is it?

Judging from this guy's personality, the other person must be a girl, otherwise there would be absolutely no way she would join.

Could it be someone she knows?

Xu Guang did not explain this, only saying that it was a secret, and then found a small shop to sit down.

Paimon and the Traveler exchanged glances, but ultimately followed along, eager to see who their new teammate was.

Meanwhile, Xu Guang was not idle in the dessert shop either. He looked at the storyline that had been changed beyond recognition recently and considered how to bring it back on track.

His arrival in this dream was not without reason; the legend of the hero fighting the dragon has its basis.

Because of his intervention, a dragon that was not expected to make a move until the future is about to awaken prematurely.

But waking up at this time was a bit too early.

The consequence is that polluting memes quietly invade some people's dreams, attempting to increase the number of those affected in this way.

Once the contamination exceeds the threshold, it could potentially turn the invaded person into a puppet of the evil dragon.

Xu Guang came here this time to solve the problem.

He certainly wasn't being kind; it just so happened that the person most severely contaminated was someone he knew.

If no one intervenes, nothing will happen, since at least his talisman is there to protect us.

But it will definitely have an impact on mental health, and illness and lethargy will be inevitable.

That won't do. He's his man, so it's only right that he does what he's supposed to do. How dare you, some evil dragon from who-knows-where, be worthy of his attention?

While reviewing the information on the evil dragon, Xu Guang also formulated some plans.

This includes, but is not limited to, how to take advantage of someone during an adventure and what it feels like to do something on the corpse of an evil dragon.

In his opinion, the fate of that evil dragon was already sealed.

After they finished eating their second cake, the last teammate finally arrived, albeit late.

The traveler nodded as he looked at the figure outside the door.

She had some guesses, but she never expected it to actually be the other person.

Fischl.

The "little chuunibyou" that Xu Guang mentioned.

With such a distinctive form of address, the first person she thought of was the other person.

Chapter 324: Evil Dragon, huh? How Many Horses Do You Have?

"Our archers have arrived too. Aren't they going to say hello?"

Xu Guang leaned back in his chair and said with a smile.

Fischl looked at the group with wariness: "Who are you? How do you know me?"

The traveler was puzzled.

If Xu Guang and the other party were not familiar with each other, that would be understandable. However, she and Fischl had met more than once and had even done a commission together. There was no reason for them not to know each other.

She was about to speak when Xu Guang stopped her and gestured with his eyes for him to take charge.

Xu Guang stood up and watched Fischl bow with an exaggerated gesture.

"Oh, great Miss Fischl, this question shouldn't even exist. Who in the whole world doesn't know of such a great archer as you?"

As for us? We're just a few adventurers who admire your great achievements. We heard you're going to slay a dragon, so we came to see if there's anything we can do to help.

These words might seem a bit abstract to normal people, but Fischl is very receptive to them.

Ying had reason to suspect that if the other party had a tail, it would have turned into a propeller.

Looking at this pleasing fellow, Fischl raised his long neck and said, "Hmph, that's true, but I'm sorry I can't grant your request."

Xu Guang asked, somewhat sadly, "Can you tell me why?"

Seeing the other party's attitude, Fischl softened and lowered his head, stiffly explaining, "Slaying the evil dragon is too dangerous. You will die if you follow me."

Xu Guang shrugged: "What's the big deal? If we were afraid of dying, we wouldn't be here. If I can't die with you, then I've come all this way for nothing."

Fischl was somewhat moved, but still did not change his attitude.

"No way! You have no idea how ferocious that dragon is. It can eat several children in one sitting!"

Upon hearing this, only Paimon responded with a cheerful "Wow!"

Ying didn't care; she had fought against even the toughest enemies.

Such as Wind Demon Dragon, Whirlpool Demon God, etc.

After experiencing all these things, her threshold has risen considerably, and she really doesn't believe there's anything that can frighten her.

Xu Guang continued, "That's precisely why you should bring us along."

Fischl tilted her head and asked, "Why?"

Xu Guang explained: "Although you are very strong now, you are fighting alone. Although we are weak, we can defeat powerful enemies by cooperating."

Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Guang, and I'm a priest. The blond guy over there is a warrior, and this little fellow is a bard. With us, your journey will be much less troublesome, and you won't have to worry about being lonely.

Fischl was somewhat tempted, but she knew all too well how terrifying the dragon was, and that one wrong move could mean certain death.

She wasn't afraid to go alone, but if something unexpected happened while she was taking these people with her, that was something she absolutely couldn't accept.

Seeing that she still hadn't given in, Xu Guang grabbed Fischl's smooth little hand and looked at her with sincere eyes.

Although he didn't say a word, Fischl saw a lot in his eyes, and finally sighed and slowly said.

"Alright, I agree, but you must also agree to one request: do not act without my orders."

Xu Guang readily agreed.

The meaning of a promise is that both parties will keep it. Unfortunately, he is usually untrustworthy, which is why he was able to agree so quickly.

Since things had already come to this, Fischl had no choice but to set off with these newly acquainted teammates.

As she walked, she told him about the evil dragon.

The traveler and Xu Guang walked at the back. Ying looked at Fischl, who was talking eloquently at the front, and asked with some confusion, "Why is she..."

Xu Guang raised his finger and pressed it against her lips.

“I already said this is a dream, so it’s not surprising that anything would appear in a dream. Fischl is just protecting her self-awareness. Let’s just continue as she says.”

Although she still had a lot of questions, she had no choice but to nod and follow behind since the other party had said so.

In fact, Fischl was so corrupted that it was about to trigger the amulet if things continued to go on like this.

It's important to know that Xu Guang gave the other party the protective charms to save their lives, and they would only be triggered in most cases when faced with a life-or-death crisis.

And it is under these circumstances that our young, somewhat immature girl, a left-behind child like most children in Mondstadt, chose to fight against pollution in her own way.

She transformed the most beautiful things in her heart into a fairytale town to resist erosion.

Then you become a hero and fight the evil dragon little by little.

Her initial rejection of Xu Guang and the others was instinctive, because Fischl subconsciously knew that dragons were terrifying and extremely dangerous beings, and that even she would perish.

Under such circumstances, how could she bear to send several strangers to their deaths?

Xu Guang knew everything and understood that she was a smart and gentle girl, so he came.

Looking at the distant horizon, Xu Guang smiled.

You evil dragon, huh? Today I'll see how many horses you have that dare to touch his people.

The group headed towards the location of the evil dragon, waiting for something to appear in their field of vision.

First, there is a towering stone monument standing on a dividing line. Before it is a beautiful fairy tale world, and after it is a distorted forest filled with lifelessness.

However, due to the corruption of evil, the stone tablet was on the verge of collapse.
