Section 3 The Vision of God

Stepping on the dog's neck with his foot, he grabbed the rim of the pot with both hands, and it took a lot of effort to pull his iron pot off the dog's head.

With a pot in hand, I have more confidence in my heart.

Timmy?

Feed the pigeons Timmy?

He's talking about me?

Shouldn't I be on the bridge outside Mondstadt? How can you play with a group of bloody dogs in this icy and snowy deserted village?

At this time, Xu Yun's brain had free time to make some reverie.

"Don't be in a daze, hurry inside. It's still dangerous out there. The middle-aged man with a broken leg said to the young man who was standing in a daze after pulling out the iron pot, and as he spoke, he slapped the young man on the ass with a short sword stained with dog blood.

Oh? Oh!

The boy snorted, and the slight pain in his ass made him quickly return to reality from his reverie. Hurriedly holding the iron pot, he dodged into the passage that the man got out of the way, and entered the stone house.

The sturdy woman with a kitchen knife and a rolling pin had already moved out of the way, and Xu Yun entered the room smoothly.

The inside of the stone house was more spacious than it could be seen from the outside, and by this time the various household items had been violently pushed into the corners of the room, making more room for the evasive crowd to stand.

Larger furniture was used to block the windows on both sides of the room, but fortunately the window itself was not large, and the bleeding dog did not want to break through after being blocked by the furniture.

In the room, a group of women huddled together with children and the elderly, and when they heard someone coming in, they turned their heads to look around, and happened to take a look at Xu Yun.

Each face was clean or dirty, some immature and some covered with deep wrinkles, but they were all equally pale, and the fear overflowing from their pupils seemed to have substance, making the air heavy and stagnant.

The smell of sweat and urine mixed in between the people rushed into Xu Yun's nose, making him frown unconsciously, and he almost rushed out of the house without turning his head.

"Timmy, come here, go inside." A woman with a disheveled hair opened her mouth to move out of the way of the crowd, revealing the children who were protected from the inside.

The young faces of several children huddled together, and they looked out curiously with trepidation and nervousness as she gave up their place. Their mouths were covered tightly by large hands of unknown people, and they could not make a sound.

Xu Yun looked at these unfamiliar faces, and no trace of impression came to his mind.

'This crossing is enough to pit, and the memory of the original owner is reluctant to leave it to me. He silently complained in his heart, 'How can this be accosted?' If they found out that I wasn't the original owner, would they have disposed of me with the bleeding dogs outside? ’

He cautiously glanced at the glittering kitchen knife in the woman's hand guarding the inner porch, and clenched the iron pot handle in his hand.

Embarrassed and polite, he smiled: "I'll stay at the door, I can help a little." ”

The woman had already seen the process of Timmy helping Tima in the battle before, and she nodded, agreeing to Xu Yun's proposal. Then he turned his head and continued to look out of the house.

The battle continued, and the men's screams, roars, and howls mixed with the undulating roars of beasts were heard in the stone house, which was so quiet that only the crackling of the firewood burning in the fireplace could be heard, and even the sound of crying was muffled.

With every beast roar or man's scream, the huddled crowd shuddered without making a superfluous sound.

Xu Yun felt that the feeling of staying here was extremely depressing, and even his breathing became heavy. It would be nice if there was someone to talk to, but unfortunately he didn't know anyone here, and even if he talked to him, he didn't know how to start.

He was not sociable, and he didn't make a few friends in his growing years, so he automatically became a hard-working code slave, and he suffered from a slight social phobia, and he accompanied himself all day long in addition to the computer and keyboard used for work, which was the game in the computer.

Time passed slowly in a heavy silence, the sounds of the battle outside became sporadic and the men's angry shouts were no longer as full of anger as before, but the roars of the beasts continued one after another.

Xu Yun's heart couldn't stop sinking, and he always had a bad premonition.

'Are the villagers going to lose?' ’

"The patrol knights should be coming to their aid soon when they hear the alarm bells, right?" He finally mustered up the courage to ask the strong woman standing on the other side.

"If they hear the alarm bell, the patrol knights will be the first to arrive at the scene, which is their duty." The woman looked at the young man carrying the iron pot in front of her, and after a little muttering, she replied.

"However, it snowed for five days in a row······" She didn't continue.

"The roads are blocked by heavy snow, and even if they hear the alarm bells, they can't get there in time." Xu Yun said the words that did not come out for her, which caused the other party to look at her dissatisfied.

She glared at the young man, and after a while, she sighed as if she was resigned to her fate, and her shoulders that had been propped up slumped down: "You're right, the heavy snow blocked the road, and they couldn't get there in time."

In addition, there are eight small villages like ours at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and there is only one team of patrol knights, and no one knows which village they will stay in to escape the blizzard during the heavy snowfall. ”

"Isn't that hopeless?" Xu Yun didn't open the pot and mentioned which pot to answer, which caused the woman to stare again. Those beautiful big emerald eyes were full of resentment that could not be concealed, and he quickly shrank his neck in fright.

There was a fireplace burning in the stone house, and there were many people in the room, so the temperature inside the house was much higher than outside. He only wore thin coarse cloth clothes and straw sandals with open toes, and he didn't feel cold anymore, and even the toes that had been numbed by freezing before had recovered from numbness, and they were itching at this time, so he couldn't stop rubbing his toes against the rough soles, wanting to relieve the unbearable itching a little.

"Jack, the leader of the patrol knights, is a knight with a vision. If he hears the alarm bells, no matter how big the wind and snow are blocking the way, as long as he uses the power given by the gods, he will definitely be able to come. The woman deliberately explained loudly, as if to ease the tension of the people in the room, and as if to make amends for the demoralizing words that Timmy had said earlier.

"Is the power of the Vision really that amazing?"

"Of course, it is the power bestowed by the gods, and it is a proof of being favored by the gods, and it has the glory of being watched by the gods at all times. No matter how great the difficulty, as long as you sincerely pray to God, you will definitely get a response and resolve the crisis. The woman showed a pious and focused expression, her eyes squinted into the sky, and said in a firm tone.

When everyone in the room heard her say this, even the tense and calm atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"Yes, I heard that this Dragon's Spine Snow Mountain was pulled up from the depths of the earth by Lord Barbatos."

"The power of the gods is so great, how can an adult with a vision of the god be blocked by snow?"

"Mistress Jack will be here soon." It was a slender female voice that spoke. "He made an appointment with me to come and see me."

The crowd became more active, and whispers buzzed noisily.

It's not a game after all. ’

Xu Yun glanced at the crowd and turned his head to look out the door.

'Players can move freely in the wild, regardless of weather obstacles such as wind and rain, but can humans really do it in the real world? ’

He looked down at his iron pot, and through the irregular round spout, he saw the dirt and purple-black blood on the walls of the pot inside.

His hands trembled slightly in his eyes.

His heart was still pounding, and his ears were ringing with the sound of the alarm bell.

'Barbatos······ Can Wendy, an unreliable drunken poet, really be counted on? ’

In my heart, even if I press ESC, I can't call out the system menu, and I don't send Meng out to provide all kinds of help.

'Pai Meng is really the best buddy. He misses the good old days of traveling with Pi Moe, but those good times are only remembered yesterday, before he finishes his daily quest and goes offline.

"This is the world of people, and the only person you can rely on is yourself. Master Carving, you're right, if I can meet you again... I must still want you to be my wife. He whispered what was in his heart.

Ignoring the whispers in his ears, he took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, the faint white vapor on the side of his mouth slowly drifting away. The shaken heart seems to be spit out.

"I can't just watch here, I'm going to go out and help, I can help them. Even if it is a delay of time, it will be delayed for a while, and the patrol knights will be able to arrive. He raised his head again to consolidate the woman's pale cheeks and meet the beautiful blue eyes.

After the woman had spoken, she withdrew from her brief period of devotion and conviction, and her face was now pale again, evidently that even if she had said it herself, she had no confidence in her heart.

"No! How can you help? Going out is just a mess······" She heard the boy's words and retorted in a strong tone, but when her eyes made contact with the boy's gaze, the next words were blocked in her throat.

"I can, you saw the battle just now." Xu Yun said that the emotion in his words was more firm than the previous moment in his speech. "The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us, and when the men are all killed by monsters, what will these old and weak women and children do? I can only wait for death! He whispered quickly.

The two stared at each other in silence, the woman knew that he was telling the truth, but she couldn't convince herself to let a little child go out to fight.

The stalemate lasted only a few breaths, and a scream rang out again.

"There's a bladeless dagger in the corner that Tima used in practice, and it might be able to help you. Also, I'll follow you. The woman compromised, and her attitude became less tough.

Xu Yun didn't say a word, turned around and followed the direction that the woman's gaze swept just now, and found a bladeless iron sword placed next to the weapon rack with the round wooden shield at the foot of the stone wall. At this point, the weapon rack was empty, and it was supposed to be used to hold Tima's vulture shield and dagger in her hand.

Xu Yun didn't choose a wooden shield, he only put the bladeless sword in his hand, no matter how uncomfortable the iron pot was, it made him feel more at ease than the shield made of wood.

Taking the bladeless sword, he strode out of the stone house, leaving behind the fear, hesitation, and warmth of the stone house. The woman replaced the rolling pin in her left hand with a wooden shield and rushed out of the stone house after him.

Tima, with a broken leg, was battling the two new blooded dogs, his wooden leg burning with a green flame that had been burned off. Unable to move flexibly, he could only lean on the door frame and struggle to support himself.

When Xu Yun rushed out of the stone house, he had already been injured in many places, and his messy brown curls were even more burned, looking so embarrassed and embarrassed.

The left vulture shield blocked a pounce from the bloody dog, and the left wooden leg that was shortened was hit by this, slipping on the snowy ground, and the body lost its balance when it landed, and the whole person could not stop falling to the left even if he was leaning on the door frame.

The door on the right side was wide open, and the other bleeding dog dodged his frantically swung right-handed dagger and opened its mouth to bite him under the armpit.

At this moment, an iron sword pierced out from the door behind him on his right side, and although the tip of the sword was slightly raised, it still successfully pierced into the upper jaw of the bleeding dog's cavity. It swooped with great force, causing the sword-wielder to stumble backwards, and he was about to fall.

A pair of big hands dissatisfied with the calluses supported Xu Yun's back in time and withstood the force of the bloody dog's pounce. With just one blow, a crack opened in the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and red blood flowed out, soaking the hilt of the sword, making his grip a little slippery.

The hilt of the sword was pressed against his stomach, and through the hilt he felt the deepening of the blade, and at the end, a little tip of the sword pierced through the back of the neck of the bleeding dog.

The bleeding dog was in pain, staring at the young man holding the sword in front of him with wide eyes, the pain made it more and more crazy, and the hind legs kicked hard, and the jaw of the sword blade moved forward to bite, and a pair of front paws scratched forward.

The blade of the sword pushed more into the mouth as it moved, revealing the blade at the back of the neck that grew longer.

"Twist the blade of the sword and widen the wound! You can't kill it in such a short time. Tima, who had been rescued from the beast's mouth crisis, hurriedly reminded.

Xu Yun woke up from his half-stunned state, quickly twisted his wrist, and used the strength of his right hand to turn the sword body around.

The bloody dog tore forward with the blade of the sword, and caught him off guard, he didn't expect this monster to be so crazy, and his brain was frightened to go blank for a moment.

Flutter~

Fuchsia blood gushed down the wound he had created, splashing all over him. The bleeding dog rolled his eyes in pain, but this sword was not fatal, and it couldn't die in a short time, only fluttering its claws more frantically, but it didn't dare to bite any further.

Xu Yun clenched the hilt of the sword with one hand, picked up the iron pot with his left hand and smashed it at the dog's head that was close at hand.

Bang Dang!

There was a muffled sound.

Bang Dang! Bang Dang! Bang Dang!

He kept smashing the dog's head again and again, seeing that the dog's eyes were white, and purple-red blood was overflowing from his eye sockets, and his right hand felt that the resistance of the bleeding dog was getting smaller and smaller, so he stepped back and pulled the bladeless sword out of the dog's mouth.

The bladeless sword left the wound, and another stream of dog blood splashed on him, only to feel hot and hot.

The Bloody Dog seemed to have lost the last of its strength, and its forelimbs went limp, and it fell to the ground. Xu Yun didn't have any distracting thoughts in his heart, he just stared at the other bleeding dog in a blink of an eye, and according to the countless ordinary attack actions used by the game characters in his mind, he raised his sword and stabbed forward to attack.

Tima faced a bloody dog alone and defended it with ease. The action frame of the young man next to him stabbing forward with a sword is good-looking, but no matter how you look at it, it is just shapeless. But the bloody dog can't tell the real from the fake, and due to the interference of this sword, his movements show some flaws.

The sharp short sword in Tima's hand stabbed through the gap, and stabbed into the right armpit of the bleeding dog's forelimbs, and after about three inches into the flesh, he slashed the wound into a long open opening, and the fascia of the musculature in the gap was broken, and a large tendon was cut by nearly half.

Xu Yun rushed to help Tima, and the woman behind him squatted down, cut along the back of the bloody dog's neck with a kitchen knife, and cut off nearly half of the dog's head.

The bleeding dog's right front leg with a heavy armpit was unable to support its body anymore, and it lost its original flexibility and vigor when it stood on three legs, and soon turned into a corpse under the siege of Xu Yun and Tima.

As soon as the middle-aged strong man Tima ended the life of the bleeding dog, he slid to the ground leaning against the door frame as if he had exhausted his last strength, gasping for breath. The skin on his cheeks and forehead was bloodshot, and the white vapor was spilling into the air.

"How did you guys get out?" He asked, turning his head to look at the woman who was holding him up.

"Timmy said he was going to come out to help, I don't think we can just let a child come out to fight, we adults just hide inside and watch, and then come out." The woman explained as she lifted Tima from the ground.

"Don't sit on the ground, it's cold and dirty, you're going to get sick when you turn around." She slapped the man's ass with a mixture of snow, dirt, and purple blood. "He said that the road was closed by heavy snow, and we can't wait for the patrol knights to come to the rescue, this is a human world, and we can only rely on ourselves."

"Hey~ I didn't expect this little bastard to be quite insightful. If all the people in the village had thought like this, the brutes would have run away long ago. The man's snow-covered beard let out a white breath, and he couldn't see what his expression was. His left hand subconsciously touched a decoration hanging on the side of the thick leather belt, which was a gray-white stone inlaid in the center of the silver metal.

At this time, Xu Yun didn't have any superfluous thoughts in his mind, and he would look for the next one after defeating a bleeding dog. He didn't feel tired, he didn't feel fear, and even the pain in the tiger's mouth became vague.

"I'm here to help, anyway, I'm old enough to live. The big deal is explained today. With a voice, the gray-haired old man staggered out of the stone hut with a pitchfork in his hand.

"Also... And me. "The stocky woman came out with a rolling pin that had been abandoned by the tall woman." Oh~~~ Oh my God! Sam, my Sam! When she saw the battlefield outside, she immediately found her loved one lying on the ground, screaming that almost pierced her eardrums.

"Ah~~~~ I'm fighting with you brutes!!" She screamed and picked up her rolling pin and rushed out.

Behind her, two or three more adult women came out one after another, holding all kinds of household items that could be used to smash people.

Scattered elsewhere in the village, there was movement in the houses that had not yet been ignited by the fire, and a man pushed open the door, broke free from his woman's entanglement, and joined the battle with a shovel and kitchen knife.

"Let it go! You're afraid that you'll just guard the child and hide under the bed, and even Timmy will participate in the battle, how can I, an adult, still hide in the kennel, and I won't be able to raise my head in the village in the future. ”

"I won't let go, don't go! Tell you not to go out! You have no conscience, you don't want to think about it, I also think about the child, if you can't raise your head, you can't raise your head, it's better than dead.

You see! Isn't that Tim the hunting on the ground? Even a veteran like him, accustomed to dealing with beasts, is dead. Woo woo ~ I don't let go. ”

Despite all the resistance, more and more people joined the battle, perhaps their individual combat effectiveness was far less than that of the men who had fought before, but the number of bloody dogs was much smaller than before.

There are only seven bloody dogs left that insist on fighting with the villagers, except for the four killed by Tima and Xu Yun, and the villagers have also killed five together, and more than half of the bloody dogs who attacked the village have died.

Seeing that more and more people are joining the fight, victory is already in sight.

"Why don't they get out of here, usually these beasts attack the village, and they will flee after two or three deaths." Xu Yun heard the stout man fighting beside him complain, two wounds on his arm and stomach were scratched by a bleeding dog, and the faint green flame burned on the wound, and he grinned in pain, and cold sweat broke out.

'yes, if he's right, why don't they run away.' Xu Yun stabbed out with a sword, pointing directly at the dog's eyes, and the bleeding dog shrank back to avoid this thorn, and the tail of the bone spur that was originally flicking back and forth was slightly curled, and there was a tendency to shrink between the back and thighs.

At this moment, the iron bell hung on the roof on the side of the battlefield, and the wooden house, which was originally just a fire, suddenly rose several meters high in a green fire, and the snow on the roof and the logs wrapped in ice and snow burned under the fire, and soon the entire wooden house turned into a huge bonfire together with the people who kept shaking the bell rope in the house.

Green and red flames rose, and a terrible howl came from the burning room, accompanied by billowing columns of gray-black smoke and white vapor rushing into the sky.

Behind the smoke and water vapor, a huge dog's head with a reddish glow on its hair came out.

It was located near the eaves of the roof, and if it wasn't for the fact that what he saw was a dog's head, Xu Yun almost thought that what he saw was the head of an elephant.

There was no sound of trampling on the ground, and there was no snorting sound of the snow being burned by the ghostly fire, it silently came out from behind the burning wooden house, its body was wrapped in thick black smoke, and the front claw blade of the front claw that stretched out the black smoke was comparable to the length of the bladeless sword in Xu Yun's hand, and the dark and smooth surface reflected a cold brilliance.

Bloody dogs, real bloody dogs.

It soared in the air without touching the ground, only its two front paws poked out black smoke that wrapped its body, its hind limbs were wrapped in black smoke, and there was not a trace of flesh and skin on its slender tail made of bone spurs, and the faint green flame burned silently at the bone blade at the tip of the tail. Three slender bone spurs pierced the billowing black smoke on his back and stood tall.

It resembles both an illusory creature made of smoke and a living physical beast.

The alarm bells are gone.

The people stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the huge monster floating in mid-air, having no doubt that its huge fangs protruding from its lips could easily pierce itself.

There were no whites in the pitch-black eye sockets, and the dark red pupils scanned the battlefield mercilessly, and everyone who was staring at it shrunk their necks, and the joints of the hands holding the weapons turned white and squeaked unconsciously.

Finally, it set its eyes on Tima, and the man with the broken leg straightened his chest and stood up to meet it with the woman's support. The blade of the snow-bright short sword in his hand swam slightly in the air.

Its gaze stayed for a moment, and two streaks of black smoke erupted from its nose, making a sound that seemed to be nothing, and then it turned its head and gracefully drew an arc, leaving in the direction of the mountain forest.

After that sound, the little bloody dogs in the middle of the field seemed to receive an order, and they bit the corpses of the villagers next to them, and slowly dragged away in full view, while the corpses of their companions were abandoned in the battlefield and ignored.

Snowflakes were falling in the sky again, and looking at the small black dots representing corpses and bloody dogs, and the snow marks dragged on the pale snow, they disappeared little by little among the trees at the far end, and people only watched silently, not daring to make a superfluous movement.

After a few more moments, a low whimper sounded, and the villagers who had lost their husbands and relatives wept bitterly, but tried their best to suppress the cry in their throats.

Boom.

Tima sat down with the woman who supported him on the muddy and bloodstained steps in front of the stone house.

It was as if it were a signal, and people were sitting crookedly in the mud and snow that had been trampled by the battle.

Clouds of white vapor exhaled from their mouths, as if to carry strength and fear away from their bodies little by little.

"Stop sitting, put out the fire quickly, don't want to have a place to sleep at night?" An old voice broke the silence of the field, and as the bleeding dogs left, the green flames burning on the villagers' wooden houses had been extinguished, and most of the small wooden houses had melted because of the snow, and the burning fire had been extinguished by the snow water. The fire was fierce, and the remaining red fireheads were fighting stubbornly against the snow and ice, burning little by little the wood that built the houses.

The old man shouted these words, and seemed to expend great strength, holding the pitchfork in both hands and standing on the ground, coughing.

After being reminded by the old man, the villagers who fell to the ground finally woke up from their fear, and the bold man took the lead in getting up, pulling his companions out of the slush and running to the still burning wooden house to find a way to extinguish the fire.

This disaster is gone, but it has left an indelible scar in everyone's heart.

Extinguishing fires, mending houses, counting damages, and cleaning up the battlefields, the people began to get busy in an orderly manner under Tima's organization.

When Xu Yun followed his memory to find his small cabin, the fire on the outer wall of the log had been extinguished, and the blackened corner was rising with green smoke.

The snow on the roof of his hut was unusually thick, and the melted snow soaked the logs, so it was not surprising that the fire was extinguished. It seems that the original owner has not been diligent in climbing on the roof to clear the snow in the past few days, but it is a good thing.

When the patrol knights arrived, the sun was already setting in the west, and the sun went down early in winter, in fact, they came in Xu Yun's impression that it was not long after lunch, and the movement could not be said to be slow.

According to Jack, the leader of the team, they stayed in the village on the other side of the col a few days ago, and it was only in the morning that they saw a pillar of smoke rising here, and realized that there might be danger here, so they organized a patrol team to rush to support. I didn't expect it to be over by the time I arrived.

After expressing his condolences and regret for the dead and the loss of the village, Jack began to ask for the details of what happened, and used the cowhide notebook and charcoal he took out of his arms to jot down clues that he thought were important, and asked Tima to draw a simple image of the appearance of the bloody dog.

In Xu Yun's view, it is not an exaggeration to say that the painting is an abstract work of art. After Jack finished his inquiry, he pulled out the Seven Saints summoning card and invited Tima to play a game.

The two started the card game in the stone house where Tima lived. The other knights, led by the villagers, went to live in the villagers' homes. After all, as the only tavern and makeshift inn in the village, the wooden house with the alarm bell was now a pile of black and broken wood.

As he tossed cards to the table, he began to talk.

"Captain Tima, does this seem to you to be a sign that the monsters are starting to be active again? We have been blocked by heavy snow for the past few days, and we have not been able to get to the watchtower on time, and we don't know what the situation is over there, and I hope that the pious nun sent by the Aeolian Church is still holding on to her post. ”

"The nuns of the Aeolian Church have the power of the gods, and the watchtower has the protection of the circle, so as long as she sticks to the lookout, there will be no problems. But you'll have to rush over as soon as possible after dawn tomorrow. Tima frowned at the cards drawn in her hand and chose to draw a new card.

"Your worries are not unreasonable, it is indeed strange that such a powerful monster has appeared, and there is no warning on the other side of the watchtower. Hopefully, the wind and snow have been too strong these days, obscuring the view of the watchtower. ”

"Who's to say it's not, Mondstadt hasn't seen such a big blizzard in years, even at the foot of the Dragonspine Snow Mountain, such a large snow is rare." Jack, the young Knight leader, throws a hand representing power points and uses the skills of his character card to knock out three lives from Tima's hand.

"As I climbed over the ridge, I saw that white snow almost covered the ground as far as the eye could see. Mondstadt must have been visited by this heavy snowfall. ”

'It's always sunny in the main city. Xu Yun, who was sitting on the side watching the knights play cards, muttered in his heart. I heard that the patrol knight came to the village, and he came from his own house to join in the fun, and he was not in a hurry to leave at this time, the house was cold, how could the stone house of the Tima knight be warm and comfortable?

And because he had helped Tima twice in the previous battle, Tima's family was very grateful to him. Ruth, a strong woman who was the hostess, warmly served a glass of fragrant mulled cider to the two knights, the lord, and the little guest, Timmy, who were playing cards. The enticing aroma of bread and pies baking in the fireplace fills every corner of the stone house.

Her two sons are working hard to complete the tasks assigned by their mother, and return the belongings that the villagers had messed up when they took refuge. Originally, Xu Yun wanted to help, but Ruth refused on the grounds that the guests only needed to enjoy the host's hospitality.

Taking a sip of the light and sweet hot cider, Xu Yun finally found a hint of happiness from the continuous disasters after the crossing. Even the toes are no longer as cold as they used to be.

"The people in the city are busy clearing snow." Tima followed. "This snow looks like it's going to cover all of Mondstadt, it's not normal, could it be the influence of the power of the Abyss?"

"Don't, although it is the things that we knights aspire to to achieve fame on the battlefield, glory and wealth, but who doesn't want one more day on a good day? I'm getting married to Mia next month, and it couldn't be worse to go to war at this time. Jack said as he thought as he stared at his hand.

"Mia? I heard Tia from our village say that you made an appointment with her. Tima raised an eyebrow.

"Aha~ That's just an agreement with the little girl, Captain Tima, you know, the little girl in the mountains has a monotonous and boring life, and there is no hope, I can't kill the fantasy of these girls. Mia and I are genuine, we've been dating for over a year now. ”

"What kind of date?" Tima asked in a whisper as she glanced at Ruth, who was busy by the fireplace.

"Hey, hey, it's all there." Jack's face couldn't hide the smugness on his face, and his two thick eyebrows curled up above his forehead.

"You kid is not authentic, what if you get hit? Have you ever met each other's parents? "Tima

"I saw you last month when I was on rotation, hey~ Captain, you are still so sharp, it is because we are in a hurry to get married." Jack took a sip of hot cider, shook his head and sighed.

Do you mean that if you don't win, you'll have to delay it for a few more years? Xu Yun, who was sitting on the side, showed a disdainful expression: "Damn it!" ’

"Nonsense, if you don't become your captain, although my leg is broken, my knowledge is still there." Tima raised her eyebrows triumphantly and threw out three energy cards to activate her character's skills.

Hearing Tima's understatement about the broken leg in a hurry, Jack also subconsciously glanced under the table. The wooden prosthetic leg that had been damaged in the previous battle had been replaced, and the new one looked like the same equipment it had been. The shape is exactly the same, and there are many signs of wear on the bottom end of the touch.

"Is your Vision still dead?" Jack asked, "Obviously he was wounded in battle, how could it be..." He didn't say the rest of the words

"Don't question the gods, and my vision is not the wind system in the first place, maybe the god who has cast his eyes on me, seeing my devotion to him, has become a useless waste, and has withdrawn his power." Tima shrugged and said casually.

"It's better for the other gods to be so stingy, but it's better for Lord Barbatos." Jack pouted, he himself was the eye of the wind god, so he naturally attributed himself to the command of the wind god.

"Who's to say it isn't." The corners of Tima's mouth hooked, "But the choice of the Vision attribute is not up to me. To whom can he speak of the helplessness in his heart?

Honorably wounded in a righteous battle against the Treasure Hoarders, after which he was stripped of his elemental powers. Disabled and retiring from the Order, he could have continued to live in Mondstadt, but he resolutely moved to this deserted mountain village, and who could he share the gap and resentment in his heart?

In this kingdom where all people believe in gods, he can't say it and shouldn't say it.

"Can I see your vision? I've never seen it before. I've heard that those who have a Vision are big shots. The young man who was sitting on the side watching the game begged.

"Ha~ big shot, maybe. For those of you ordinary people who live in the mountains, it can be regarded as high.

In fact, there are still quite a few people in the Order who have the Vision of God.

The title of a knight, the authority to collect taxes from a fiefdom, in fact, is just that. ”

"Well, that's it, an inconspicuous stone." Tima smiled self-deprecatingly and took off the stone ornament pinned to her waist and put it in Xu Yun's palm.

"If you like, you can give it to you."

Jack's face was a little unnatural, Tima said this, the status of the owner of the Vision has been invisibly lowered a lot, but in fact, the status of the owner of the Vision in the Knights is much higher than it seems, only the owner of the Vision is qualified to hold the position of captain and above, and the invisible advantages it brings are even more numerous.

After all, this world is the world of the strong, and only with the Vision of God can you be qualified to become a strong. Ordinary people are nothing more than inactive beings after all, as is clear from the situation in which Tima was possessed by the Vision and after being deprived of the Vision's elemental powers.

If he still has the power of the Vision when the monsters attack the village today, it cannot be said that he can destroy all the monsters, at least the loss of the village will not be as serious as it is now.

He was slightly stunned when he looked at the gray-white stone in the center that was wrapped in a pattern and inlaid with a silver metal bottom plate in his hand, and the border was decorated with gorgeous patterns.

So easy to put in your own hands? This is something Xu Yun didn't expect. He thought that Tima would cherish this Vision very much, even if it had lost its elemental power now, but even if there was any hope that it would regain its power? Your life will be turned upside down.

But he still put it in Xu Yun's palm, and continued to study the card in his hand as if nothing happened.

The gray-white stone looks simple, but if you look closely, you will find that it is extraordinary, it seems to be transparent, but there is an impenetrable layer of gray-white mist inside, making it look similar to ordinary stone at first glance.

Xu Yun stared at the fog inside the stone with wide eyes, according to the clues obtained in the game, the Vision of God was actually formed because of a strong desire to communicate with the elemental power that is ubiquitous in the world, and it does have some connection with God, but there is not much.

As he stared at the Vision, a subtle but beautiful royal blue peeked out of the mist inside the stone.

The royal blue color is increasing, dyeing the tiny particles that make up the mist around it with the same brilliant and beautiful colors.

Then the entire Vision was lit up by it.
