Genshin Impact: Mondstadt Alter
Act 1 Chapter 2.8:
Foul Plan
The darkness nearly covers the whole room, along with a gentle wind. The only light source left is the moon's reflection from the window. Despite everything that happened, my eyes are still wide open.
Laying on the bed, I rest my head on both hands and a pillow. I remain still for over an hour, staring at the ceiling. The night's serenity makes me feel at peace, but I can't sleep yet.
I've spent enough time doing nothing. Thanks to today's exploration and activities, I find a lead to what I need to do. However, that's still insufficient. So far, there's no news about my case. At this point, I started to doubt if what happened was actually real.
Of course, I knew it was real. I'm aghast at how they can keep their tails so effectively hidden from the search crew. It's like they didn't exist to begin with. I wanted to keep the thought of the Knight of Favonius being inept away, but my hope for them couldn't last very long.
You know what?
Fine, I'll do it myself.
I shall join the Knight.
With this radar-like ability of mine, I'm sure I have a better chance than them. Initially, I thought joining the Adventurers' Guild would do, but I swept it away for reasons. Mainly because it doesn't align with parents' wishes.
"Argh... Crap, it hurts." I groaned.
I tightly close my eyes before shaking my head.
"Phew…" I sighed in relief.
To be honest, it's not that bad. Both parties actually share equal benefits for me. The Adventurers' Guild has more liberty, and their intel network is vast across tevyat because they have branches in every nation. I've read their pamphlet before.
The Knight of Favonius, on the other hand, is more strict because of the rules, and I wouldn't be able to go far from the city unless provided some privileges. However, when a crime and such happens, the Knight is more involved than the Adventurer.
Lastly, I am not in a rush. I might be motivated by hatred doing all this, but I'm not stupid. As much as I don't want to admit the fact that I'm weak, I know I can't do much with my current capabilities. That's why I need to be patient.
With all things considered, I've made up my mind.
Anyway, I have a plan for how I will operate. It's not detailed, but I can improvise, assuming something goes south. I don't want to make things complicated on my end, but I have no choice. All I need is to keep my goal clear and not stray until the end.
But first, I need to improve my physical prowess. While at it, I should consider a weapon for myself. Everything else that comes after that can wait.
A/N: Morgan got this, right? He got this, right?
Thank you for reading, and carry on!
