The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [456]

At that moment, Dvalin had left Jia Changjiang, Lumine, and the others on a small island. Although thick mist surrounded them, they could still vaguely discern the vast ocean beyond.

“Hey!” Lumine cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly toward the open sea.

But her voice was quickly swallowed by the roaring waves, with only scattered echoes returning, broken up by the crashing tides.

“These islands…” Jean frowned slightly, surveying their surroundings. “The climate is harsh, visibility is very low due to the thick fog. It matches Lisa’s description exactly.”

“I remember…” Lumine recalled, hearing Jean’s words. “The letter to Klee had something written at the end—”

‘Light the four beacons to open the trial’s door and accept your judgment...’

“Four beacons…” Barbara murmured thoughtfully. “Could they mean something that gives off light?”

“But this island looks isolated… is there some special device here?”

As Barbara wondered aloud, Paimon suddenly noticed something, “Hey! The fog around us seems thinner here than anywhere else!”

“Could it be due to that teleport waypoint?” Jia Changjiang glanced toward the only unnatural object on the island.

“A teleport… waypoint?” Jean looked puzzled. “What’s that?”

“Is it the same kind of device as the one on the Knights of Favonius building?” Barbara asked curiously, looking toward the waypoint.

“Eh? Jean and Barbara don’t know about waypoints?” Lumine was genuinely confused. “Aren’t they just used for teleportation through the ley lines?”

“Teleportation?” Jean’s forehead furrowed in confusion.

“Ley lines?” Barbara echoed, equally baffled.

“Eh?” Lumine tilted her head.

Wait… Aren’t teleport waypoints common knowledge in Teyvat?

Why do Jean and Barbara look so confused?

Only then did Lumine realize she had never actually seen anyone else from Teyvat using a teleport waypoint…

“Eh?” Lumine turned to Jia Changjiang, who also wore a baffled expression.

“Aren’t waypoints something anyone with elemental abilities can use? I’ve been tagging along with Lumine through them for months…” Jia Changjiang scratched his head. “Wait, don’t tell me only we can use these things?”

“Teleportation? I always thought these were mysterious ancient devices,” Jean said, astonished. “I assumed they were just for warmth in places like Dragonspine.”

“Now that you mention it, they are pretty comfortable around them… warm in winter, cool in summer,” Lumine nodded thoughtfully.

“So… Lumine, is this how you traveled back and forth between Mondstadt and Liyue?” Jean asked in amazement.

“Of course! Taking a carriage every time would be such a hassle,” Lumine explained casually. “Xiangling told me she spent over a month traveling to Mondstadt on foot.”

As she spoke, Lumine reached out to touch the waypoint, activating it effortlessly.

Jean nodded in understanding, “No wonder knights keep reporting seeing our Honorary Knight leaping from the rooftop…”

“Wow, it really works!” Lumine marveled at the activated waypoint.

Now, she could instantly travel between Mondstadt, Liyue, and even this small island.

She could literally teleport Jean back to the Knights’ headquarters right now, let her handle two hours of paperwork, and then teleport her back to continue adventuring with Klee…

“So we don’t even need Dvalin to fly us home now, do we?” Paimon noted dryly.

“What exactly is the point of this expedition to the Golden Apple Archipelago, then?” Jia Changjiang sighed helplessly.

They had the Serenitea Pot for housing, teleport waypoints for traveling…

The only thing left was sorting out food and entertainment…

“So, this waypoint clears away the fog?” Jean quickly shifted back into her professional mode. “If there’s already one beacon activated here, we need to find and activate the other three.”

As Jean planned their next steps, Klee suddenly spotted something intriguing and dashed off excitedly. Jia Changjiang hurried after her.

The rest quickly followed, discovering below them a small boat floating gently by the shore.

“A boat?” Jia Changjiang rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “Looks like whoever invited us here also provided transportation.”

“But the weather is terrible! Isn’t sailing dangerous?” Paimon fretted. “What if there are monsters in the sea?!”

At Paimon’s fearful suggestion, everyone stared nervously at the mist-covered ocean. Klee instinctively ducked closer to Jean for protection.

“Don’t worry, Klee! We once fought a giant octopus Archon the size of a mountain!” Lumine reassured confidently. “Normal monsters are nothing to us!”

“Osial was a giant serpent, not an octopus,” Jia Changjiang muttered under his breath.

“Well, how about I handle the boat?” Jia Changjiang offered eagerly, eyes gleaming with excitement. “I’d actually welcome a fight with some sea monsters.”

“Well… for safety’s sake, we should take turns,” Jean decided sensibly.

“Hmmm…” Lumine squinted, noticing something in the fog. “There seem to be some floating lanterns guiding us on the water. Probably set up by Dodo-King.”

“Alright, let’s get going!” Jia Changjiang said decisively. “I’ll take the first turn.”

Once everyone boarded the Waverider, Lumine quickly activated its waypoint as Jia Changjiang figured out the controls.

The boat had paddle wheels on each side, practically foolproof—like driving a child’s go-kart.

“Alright, we’re ready to set sail!” Jia Changjiang gripped the wheel enthusiastically.

Despite the dense fog, his excitement remained undimmed.

“Now, let me teach you a song…” Jia Changjiang turned to look mischievously at Lumine, Klee, and the others seated behind him, a playful grin on his face.

Once he finished teaching the song, Jean looked slightly embarrassed.

Barbara blushed furiously.

However, Lumine, Klee, and Paimon looked positively thrilled.

“Alright then!” Jia Changjiang stomped his foot on the pedal, grinning widely. “Are you ready, kids?!”

“Aye-aye, Captain!” Lumine, Klee, and Paimon shouted loudly, while Jean and Barbara hesitated shyly.

“I can’t hear you~!” Jia Changjiang teased again.

“Aye-aye, Captain!” This time, Jean and Barbara closed their eyes and joined in with a shout.

“Ohhhhhh~~~!!!”
