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

There are just people who are faster than her.

Arrows trailing flames flew in, but they weren't aimed at the dire wolf; rather, they were meant to block its retreat, making it easier for Barbara to decapitate it.

Logically, other people should not interfere in the Knight Trial.

But the situation is that it happened suddenly; the wolf attacked from the shadows.

I couldn't care less about that anymore.

The dire wolf watched as its last hope was extinguished, its eyes filled with resentment.

It is unwilling to do so.

Why die in this manner?

They had killed countless members of their own kind and humans to finally get to this point!

It turned around, looked at Noel, and bared its teeth.

"Roar—"

Although it can't hurt you, it doesn't mean it's willing to surrender.

Rosalia frowned, her spear already in her hand, ready to save the day.

The final counterattack of this beast is the most deadly.

She arrived a little later than Amber and didn't know what was going on on the field, assuming that the two of them had teamed up to reach this point.

Noelle saw the arrows on the ground and knew immediately that her teammates had come to her aid. She gave them a weak smile and then leaped high into the air.

The dire wolf lowered its back and pounced.

Both sides knew this would be the last showdown, so they used their last resorts.

Noelle was surrounded by a yellow rock shield and warm white light, and the four eyes of the dire wolf gleamed with an eerie light.

But at this tense moment, there was one more person on the field.

Xu Guang, somewhat disheveled, leaned against a tree.

He was still a little worried and decided to come and check. It was already the result of him not deliberately controlling the recoil.

The sugar looked like an octopus.

He wouldn't let go once he started, and if he hadn't eaten Rosalia last night, he might not have been able to escape.

Compared to the nun, the alchemist was clearly inferior.

He watched the battle unfold, then raised his hand and cast a healing spell on Noelle, restoring her stamina.

The dire wolf had already leaped into the air when it suddenly realized that the enemy seemed to have recovered completely, and a wave of darkness washed over it.

No, I'm immune to all damage and have support buffs. Am I some kind of ruthless ultimate villain?

What happened next was a foregone conclusion.

With the healing spell buff, Noelle's attack was even stronger than her peak, and she killed the Dire Wolf in no time.

Watching the monster crash to the ground, Noelle took a deep breath, her eyes shining brightly.

She did it.

The monster was defeated.

That means she can protect others in the future and will no longer need to be the girl who needs protection.

Although she received help from others during this process, she is no longer the same person she used to be.

Great.

Feeling the abundant power within her, Noelle looked behind her and smiled happily.

The people she wants to protect are also watching her.

"Mr. Xu Guang!"

Noelle waved happily.

Xu Guang returned the smile.

Amber stood with her hands on her hips, her expression joyful. Seeing her companion happy made her feel better too.

Only Rosalia kept her head down, lost in thought.

"A near-perfect healing technique, truly remarkable."

She didn't completely trust him last night, but for some reason, she couldn't resist the bright, sparkling eyes in the darkness.

Now it seems this guy really has some skills, so the treatment he mentioned should be effective.

You can look for it more often next time.

Although he didn't care much about his own life or death, he had long been prepared to sacrifice himself.

But if one can survive, who would want to die?

Xu Guang walked up to Noel and pretended to examine him from head to toe.

He's a doctor now, so he definitely needs to do this right.

He knew perfectly well that Noelle was protected and would not get hurt.

He touched her left and right, until the little maid's face turned so red it bled, before he finally stopped.

"It's so good that you weren't injured."

Noelle looked down at her toes and hummed in agreement.

"……Thanks."

Hearing the girl's words, Xu Guang looked completely innocent: "Why thank me? Isn't this the result of your own hard work?"

"Ok!"

After the maid finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered up her courage, bit her lower lip, raised her head, looked into the other person's eyes, took a deep breath, stood on tiptoe, and tapped Xu Guang's cheek.

Then he quickly ducked and ran toward Amber.

Amber looked at the scene with a maternal smile and poked the little maid in the waist.

"Wow, our new knight has a sweetheart!"

Noelle blushed and lowered her head without responding.

Rosalia watched calmly, only letting out a sigh in her heart.

"They're really popular."

That was the last time I did that.

What is she so angry about?

The other person was just her doctor and patient; once her problem was resolved, they might never have the chance to interact like that again.

A doctor who shines in Mondstadt and a gentle and considerate girl—they seem like a perfect match.

Yes, that's right.

While Noelle was celebrating her kill of the Dire Wolf, things were far from peaceful in Mondstadt.

A little girl wearing a hood stood on the roof, looking miserable.

"Oh no! I overslept and missed something really important!"

Zaoyou pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.

She came to Mondstadt with a goal in mind: to find the man her lord had spoken of.

They had already made progress, confirmed the other party's identity, and learned that the other party would be leading a team out of the city for training during this period.

But who knew she overslept and missed it completely.

"How am I going to explain this...? Zaoyou doesn't want to be tricked by that wicked fox..."

The little girl closed her eyes, as if she could see her miserable future.

As a ninja, she rarely had anyone she was afraid of, but that big fox was different. Not only was he petty, but he also knew how to target her.

If I get caught, I'll definitely stuff it into my arms and play with its tail a lot.

I don't want that kind of thing!

"Hey, you over there, come down right now, it's dangerous!"

A clear voice rang out, and Zaoyou looked down at the owner of the voice, her eyes lighting up immediately.

"similar!"

There was no other reason than that she saw animal ears and a tail on the other person.

Could this be a monster from Mondstadt?!

But the smell seems off.

Chapter 278: Time is Money

While Zaoyou was still wondering, Diona sighed and lightly jumped down onto the roof.

She came to Zaoyou's side and reached out to take her hand.

"Little friend, do you know how dangerous this is? Come down with me!"

Zaoyou was stunned.

kid?

Who is it?

Her?

But she's already an adult.

The little ninja named Hayato is actually a legitimate loli.

She has everything a loli should have, but her age is already that of an adult.

You can absolutely enjoy the pleasure within the bounds of the law while feeling guilty.

Without any resistance, she was led down to the ground. Once there, Diona said in a very mature tone, "It's very dangerous up there. If you fall, it will hurt a lot, and your family will worry!"

Zaoyou retorted, "I won't fall!"

If a ninja falls off a roof without anyone intervening, he will be ridiculed.

Diona frowned: "Of course you could. I saw you swaying just now."

Zaoyou paused for a moment. She had just been thinking about her bleak future, which was why she started to sway.

As the best ninja of her generation, she could maintain her balance even on a thin rope blown by a strong wind.

Seeing that the other person was silent, Diona assumed that the other person was in the wrong, so she nodded: "Don't do that next time. If you want to play, go to a safe place."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

But she was called back.

"Hey, are you a monster?"

Diona's face darkened. She was a half-orc! A half-orc!!

Why do some kids always think she's a monster?

Just as she was about to turn around and teach this rude fellow a lesson, she noticed that he had taken off his hood, revealing a pair of furry ears underneath. When she looked over, the ears twitched a couple of times, confirming their authenticity.

Diona's eyes widened.

At first, she didn't react, but when she came to her senses, she exclaimed in surprise, "You're a half-orc too!? That's great, I thought there were no people my age."

Orcs are rare in Mondstadt, and Diona is the youngest among them. She has few peers of her own kind to play with, which has fostered her precocious personality, making her look like a little adult.

Zaoyou listened to what the other person said and shook her head.

"No, I am a monster."

Diona sighed, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "You're not a monster, you're a half-orc. Don't think you're a monster just because of what some brats say."

Zaoyou tilted her head.
