"Please help clean up the garbage, weeds and other things in this small pond."
Yu Jin looked at the spring in front of him. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. And for some reason, the vegetation on the shore was extremely lush.
"Don't worry, I still have some savings." Old Finch said when he saw Yu Jin's dazed look.
"Leave it to me!" Although Old Finch thought that Yu Jin was greedy for money, in fact, Yu Jin was just thinking whether there was something wrong with this old man. Why would he clean up such a big pond for no reason? Did he think the money was too much?
But since Yu Jin accepted the commission, he had to complete it no matter what. He was just in a daze just now.
Old Finch was frightened by the embers. Why are young people nowadays so jumpy?
But seeing that Yu Jin immediately got down to work, he didn't say much.
Yu Jin's hands danced quickly. This was his first time to weed. After joining the Adventurer's Guild, he had won many first places.
The first time looking for a cat, the first time picking flowers, the first time running errands... and so on. Sure enough, joining the Adventurer's Guild was the right choice!
His mind was wandering, but Yu Jin's hands were not idle. He pulled up large pieces of soil along with the grass roots.
The sun sets and the dirt flies.
Yu Jin stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead pretentiously, and looked at his masterpiece of the day.
Ugh, so ugly!
This was what Yujin felt at first sight. At this moment, the lush green on the bank of the clear spring had disappeared, replaced by irregular black and brown mud blocks.
It looks like it was chewed by a dog.
As an undead with a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, Yu Jin felt that he needed to give this shore a "beautification".
After looking at the stars in the sky, Yu Jin started working again. The first overtime achievement was unlocked!
Ember grabbed a pitchfork and started working on leveling the land himself.
"Hmmmm~" Qingquan Town fell asleep early at night, and only Yujin was left beside the pond, humming inexplicably.
The embers seemed to be moving tirelessly around the pool of water, and wherever he went, the singing followed.
"Ha! It really looks better if it's flatter." Yu Jin leaned against the pitchfork inserted into the soil, looking at his masterpiece with a slight sigh.
Just as Yu Jin was about to find a place to lie down for the night, he suddenly saw a faint blue light flash in the center of the pool.
"Wow! Is this the legendary adventure?" Yu Jin threw the pitchfork aside and stared at the center of the spring.
In fact, the spring spirit doesn't want to show up directly like this. She prefers to talk to children in dreams.
Unfortunately, Yu Jin never sleeps, so she has no choice but to use this method to meet him.
But it was the first time she met an adult like Yu Jin who had a childlike heart. Out of curiosity, she didn't care about how they met.
"Shit, the water slime has become a spirit!" Yu Jin exclaimed when he saw a creature that was completely blue and looked like an elf flying out of the water in Quan Xin's heart.
"What do you mean by a slime becoming a spirit? I am a pure water spirit!" The first sound of the elf made the fountain water spirit unable to hold back.
"Oh, pure water elf, I've never heard of it. Why are you looking for me? Are you going to give me some treasure?" Yu Jin's mind is now full of the adventures that the bard talked about.
The corners of the fountain elf's mouth twitched slightly - if she had a corner of her mouth. But Yu Jin really guessed it right. In a sense, she came out this time just to give Yu Jin a blessing.
She loved the heart of a child because it meant vitality and flow. As a pure water spirit trapped in a small spring, she liked this vitality and flow.
Although the person in front of me says that he wants a treasure, what he cares about in his heart is the process of getting the treasure.
"So, one as pure as a child, what do you want?" The spring elf had not seen such an interesting person for a long time, so it allowed Ember to make his request.
"Uh, let me think about it." Yu Jin didn't expect that he would have to choose by himself, so he became distressed.
But he soon made up his mind. Looking at the spring spirit emerging from the water, Yu Jin replied: "I want the same swimming skills as you!"
Everyone knows that undead people are easily soluble in water. But Yu Jin wants to break this iron rule today. He wants to be the first undead person to swim in the water!
"Haha, with the heart of a child, I will bless you, the pure and flawless one!"
"Your body will be as agile as a swimming fish, and your strength will come from the rushing water, which will allow you to reach the depths of the water!"
The spring elf was amused by what Ember said, and a faint blue light escaped from her body and flowed into Ember.
A small force flowed through his body, fresh and full of energy, like a spring that had been running for a long time.
After sending the blessing, the aura of the spring spirit faded visibly.
Every blessing is a drain on her, but she doesn't care.
"Why?" Ember asked the weak spring elf. Being willing to share strength when you are strong is not worthy of praise; but being willing to share strength with the weaker ones when you are so weak that you cannot even guarantee your own survival is noble enough.
"Pure water spirits are born from flowing water, and they should flow continuously. I was trapped in this clear spring due to an accident in my early years, and I should have died here."
"But I saw it, I saw the children's troubles, and I heard their confessions. Their never-ending heartbeats provided me with strength, and their confessions shaped my figure. It turns out that the flow of life is stronger than the rushing of hundreds of rivers!"
"I know that children will eventually leave their hometown, so let my blessing become your wings."
"At that time, the wish of pure water will follow you and leap on the earth!"
The spring elf recalled that no one had ever asked her why she did this, but that didn't mean she didn't like to talk.
People who listen to secrets always have more secrets hidden in their hearts.
Is that so? What an interesting creature.
Ember smiled and said to the spring spirit:
"I will give you a small blessing as well!"
Chapter 29 Blessing
2023-08-28
"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it." The spring water fairy found it very interesting. She had always been the one to give blessings to others, but no one had ever blessed her.
Yu Jin looked at the spring water spirit with blue light, thought for a moment, and then said:
"I have never known the eternity of gold, and the warmth of the first fire is not compatible with flowing water. I think that even rivers will stop flowing one day, so all I can give you is hope."
"I hope that pure water will be collected in your heart, and love and curiosity will reshape your body. Then, embrace boldly, you will not drown the person you embrace, and pure water will only bring deeper love."
"I hope that sadness will no longer linger, and heart and joy will jump into your life. At that time, love boldly, and the one you love will merge into pure water, and the length of life will no longer matter."
"Finally, I hope that the flow of time will not be able to take away anything from you. At that time, go ahead boldly. Infinite life means infinite hope, and hundreds of rivers will be filled with your footprints!"
Every time Yu Jin spoke, sparks burst out from his armor and fell into the body of the spring elf, causing her body to undergo earth-shaking changes.
A faint blue light escaped from the spring and enveloped the pure water spirit. Under an inexplicable force, love and curiosity were no longer just the throbbing in her heart, but actually turned into her body.
"Pop!" The bubble burst, and a blue-haired girl appeared in front of Yujin.
[Is this what she imagines herself to be like as a human? She's pretty good-looking.] Yu Jin had already left her serious state and was looking at the newly born spring water spirit.
Pure water should not be sad, flow and vitality are its melody.
Now the spring water elves are full of vitality, which is a cause for celebration.
Yu Jin clapped his hands in satisfaction. It was the first time he used his authority in a different world and it unexpectedly felt quite good.
But he was still weak. What he had just given to the fountain elf was not a battle blessing, but it almost set it on fire. If he really gave it a battle blessing, he was afraid he would not be able to bear it.
The spring water spirit looked at her new body and felt the clarity of her soul. She knew that she had been sublimated both physically and spiritually.
"Who are you?" The spring water elf looked at Yu Jin with respect and asked. She was not stupid. The being in front of her was extremely powerful and easily made up for the flaws of the pure water elf race.
She had never seen such power in the previous water god.
"Just a passing adventurer!" Yu Jin picked up the pitchfork he had thrown on the ground, leaving only a mysterious back to the Fountain Elf.
……
"That's not right. I haven't received my reward yet!" Yu Jin was walking on the path and suddenly reacted.
I just visited Mysterious, and Mora hasn't gotten married yet.
But he looked at the sky again and decided to forget it. He would go and ask for it when he had time. Could old Finch still escape?
Thinking of this, Yu Jin was no longer in a hurry. He didn't need to sleep anyway, so he could just walk slowly and see the scenery of Mondstadt at night.
Of course, it would be even better if we could uncover some big conspiracy.
Unfortunately, Yu Jin was disappointed. He did not uncover any conspiracy. He only saw a white-haired woman floating in the air in front of him, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.
"I'll beat you!" Yu Jin turned and ran. Nonsense, it would be strange if the illegal immigrants didn't run away when they saw the police!
Seeing Yu Jin running as if jokingly, the Maintainer's eyes twitched slightly. Although she had known for a long time that Yu Jin was very unreliable, she was still speechless when she actually faced him.
"Buzz--" A black and red space crack suddenly appeared in front of Yu Jin's eyes. The Maintainer walked out of it and blocked Yu Jin's way.
Then she saw the armor on Yu Jin's body being replaced rapidly, and a heavy armor covered his body in an instant.
That’s not all. Yu Jin took out a bottle of perfume from somewhere and threw it into the helmet without even opening it.
After the iron kettle incense entered his body, Yu Jin's entire body, including the Javier heavy armor on the outside, began to emit a layer of metallic luster. At this moment, his entire body seemed to be cast in steel.
"Manager sister, be gentle." Yu Jin said as he lay on the ground, putting Javier's greatshield on his back.
Ember once said that when you are weak, you need to compromise, and he is now fulfilling his words.
There is no other way. I can’t win by fighting. This is the only way I can do.
Of course, if Ember was in his prime, it would be true, but unfortunately he is not.
A "＃" appeared on the Maintainer's forehead, and she finally understood the feelings of the descendant of Kanriya.
How could there be someone as eccentric as Yu Jin!
"Get up, I won't hit you." The Maintainer steadied his voice and said calmly.
"You should have told me earlier! Sister Administrator, can you help me get a household registration?" Yu Jin jumped up and said a little embarrassedly.
It would be best if you don’t have to fight. Even though you won’t die, it won’t feel good to be beaten up.
Moreover, he was hoping that the administrator would not pursue the matter of him secretly coming to this world.
"There is no such thing!" The Maintainer's mouth twitched again. The Adventers are the Adventers. Not to mention her, even the laws of nature cannot change this.
"Okay then, what do you want from me?" After knowing that the Maintainer was not here to cause trouble for him, Yu Jin became casual again.
"One of the four shadows will be here soon. Don't reveal any information about her to others." The Maintainer now just wants to complete the task quickly, otherwise she is afraid that she will not be able to hold on.
"In exchange, I allow you to violate some taboos, including the elimination of wear and tear just now." Seeing that Yu Jin wanted to say something again, the Maintainer was one step ahead of him.
