Chapter 8: The Hilichurls

"Calm down, we're not suspicious people......"

Before Sasuke could speak, Paimon suddenly waved his hand in the air.

Sasuke felt ashamed of wanting to cover his face with his hands.

He compared his own dress with the other party's dress style, and with such a talking gadget that kept drifting, this is not a suspicious character?

If this suddenly appeared at the gate of Konoha Village, such a combination would probably have been taken away by the doorman a long time ago, right?

Sure enough, Amber also said at this time:

"Suspicious people say that......"

Sasuke had no choice but to introduce himself:

"Hello, my name is Sasuke Uchiha."

"Uchiha Sasuke?"

Amber tilted her head.

"It sounds like the name of the Inazuma people, are you the Inazuma people?"

Inazuma people? Name like Inazuma?

Sasuke Uchiha chewed on the message that came with the words.

"It's not."

He shook his head, but didn't reveal anything more about himself.

"Really? But I haven't been to Inazuma for a while, but I feel like your name is similar to that over there, and it seems that it's a closed country now, and I haven't seen an Inazuma person for a long time. ”

Amber didn't dwell too much on it, and instead looked at Paimon.

"And this one...... The mascot floating next to you? What's going on again. ”

"She's my partner."

Sasuke said.

Paimon was surprised by this remark, and after spinning in the air, he said:

"Mmmmmmmm, I'm Sasuke's partner, and the two of us plan to travel together, and our first stop is Mondstadt!"

"Oh, that's it!"

Amber nodded.

"All in all, it's a traveler, right?"

"There have been dragons around Mondstadt lately, so it's better for you to get into the city as soon as possible."

"It's not far from Mondstadt, so I, as a knight, will give you a ride."

"That's great!"

Paimon rubbed his hands together happily in the air.

"But Amber, you say you're a knight."

"Where's your horse?"

"Huh?"

Amber clearly didn't expect Paimon to ask such a question.

After being stunned for a moment, he explained with a smile:

"I'm a knight, not a cavalryman, knight is a title, it doesn't mean that you have to ride a horse to be a knight."

"Actually, I'm better at flying than at riding."

"I'm also on a reconnaissance mission near Mondstadt, and I happened to run into you on patrol, and I haven't seen you among the recently registered travelers, so I'm here to ask."

"When I finish the task at hand, I'll take you to register! This will make it easier for you to get in and out of Mondstadt. ”

This system is a bit similar to Konoha Village.

Their Uchiha family used to be Konoha guards, and when they were young, the clansmen in the family were often responsible for patrolling around the village.

This made Sasuke feel a little close to Amber.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

He asked.

"If you help......

Amber looked Sasuke Uchiha up and down.

"I'm going to clean up the hilichurl camp nearby, if you're willing to help, it's around here, I've just observed."

"Hilichurls?"

Paimon was surprised.

"How did the hilichurls end up here? That kind of creature doesn't usually set up camp very close to the city, does it? ”

"yes, normally they're supposed to only roam the wilderness."

Amber scratched her head.

"But lately, Aemosaurus has suddenly appeared around the city on a regular basis, destroying orchards, affecting trade routes, and often getting injured when storms break out...... So the Knights should be distracted by defense. ”

"So these annoying creatures are moving closer and closer to Mondstadt?"

Paimon said.

"yes, but I've cleared a camp today, and it's still very rewarding."

"Let's go, the camp I just spotted is ahead."

……

Following Amber, Sasuke arrives at a hilichurl camp, where Sasuke meets the so-called hilichurls for the first time.

Most of them were pitch black, hunched over, holding improvised weapons in their hands, including wooden clubs and crossbow arrows, with very thick hairs on their heads, and masks with strange patterns, which looked like a group of wild men who could use weapons.

"Quick, don't let them go!"

Amber took out her dagger from her back and mounted her arrow, and a burst of fire appeared at the arrow, and then shot at a hilichurl standing on an improvised lookout in the center of the camp.

The hair on the hilichurl who was hit by the arrow burned, let out a scream, and fell from the lookout.

Sasuke Uchiha also opened the Sharingan, and sure enough, he found the power of the fire element in the hilichurl who was hit by the arrow.

This Scout Knight, known as Amber, is able to use elemental power.

They were spotted by the rest of the hilichurls, screaming and brandishing their weapons, including a hilichurl with a crossbow raising his hand to take advantage of the chaos to sneak up on Amber in the distance.

But their movements can't escape Sasuke's chakra at all.

Several shurikens flew out of his hand, sliding a graceful arc into the hand of the hilichurl who wielded the crossbow arrow.

The hilichurl was in pain, and the crossbow in his hand fell to the ground because of the instability of his hand.

Sasuke didn't give the other party a chance to react, and quickly sealed.

Fire Escape: The Art of Impatiens.

Several fireballs erupted from Sasuke's mouth and smeared on the hilichurl's body.

The flames burned, and the hilichurl struggled at first, but soon lost its vitality and stopped fluttering.

"That's amazing!"

Amber exclaimed, then raised his hand and shot an arrow into the sky, which split into several rockets and fell into a rain of arrows that covered the rest of the hilichurls.

These hilichurls were all infused with fire by Amber's rockets.

Sasuke naturally won't let go of such an opportunity.

Elemental Burst: Wind Breath.

A huge tornado swept the hilichurls up, turning them into a fire tornado when contaminated with the fire element.

Sasuke seals again, and a huge fireball flies with a blazing temperature towards the hilichurls who are caught in the fire tornado and unable to move.

Fire Escape: The Great Fireball Technique.

As the flames and tornadoes dissipated, there were no more hilichurls left in this hilichurl camp that could stand, and this set of combo skills directly completed the clearing of this hilichurl camp.

"Wow! Sasuke, you're really amazing! ”

"It's really incredible that you can use two elemental powers at the same time, both the power of wind and the elemental power of fire, I've seen it for the first time!"

Amber said, putting away her bow and arrows.

Is it special to use two elemental forces at the same time? Sasuke made a secret note of it.

"Maybe my constitution is special."

"It's a great ability, although I can clean up this camp on my own, but your efficiency is too high!"

"That's it!"

Paimon, who had just seen the hilichurls and didn't know where to hide, flew over at this time, flying to a fork of the aura on Sasuke's head.

"My combination with Sasuke is invincible, quack and kill!"
