Genshin Impact: I Can Obtain Adventure EXP

Chapter 33: Ellin at the Training Ground



"The Pyro Elemental Ore that is the most important for fire-quenched arrows is quite hard to find, so they cost 2,000 Mora each," the blacksmith apprentice Schutz answered.

Ordinary iron-tipped arrows cost 300 Mora each. The price for the fire-quenched arrows with the pyro element effect was still reasonable.

"What about the armor-piercing arrows?" Nolan continued to ask.

"600 Mora."

"I need 20 fire-quenched arrows and 50 armor-piercing arrows." Nolan decided after thinking about it.

Just 70 arrows in total cost 70,000 Mora. Fortunately, arrows were not single-use items. With some luck, shot arrows could be retrieved and reused.

"Okay, I'll go prepare them for you."

Schutz nodded. Bulky items like arrows were usually forged in large batches by Master Wagner and stocked in the storeroom.

Watching Schutz leave, Nolan turned to Wagner and asked:

"Mr. Wagner, since I've bought the arrows, do you have any good bows to recommend? As you know, my wooden hunting bow is a bit outdated."

Seeing the young adventurer was still willing to buy a bow, Wagner nodded and said:

"Well the hunting bow Draff used all of the time is just a common one-star weapon, it's fine for hunting, but you do need a more powerful and strong bow since you chose to be an adventurer!"

He continued,

"I have two-star bows here: the 'Seasoned Hunter's Bow' whose advantage is sturdiness and reliability. It's as if it will cooperate with you seamlessly!

There's also the 'Adventurer's Hunting Bow'. Its advantage is greater power, at least three times that of your wooden bow. What do you think? Like them?"

These were Wagner's proud works, and he certainly hoped to get the customer's approval.

"Three times?!"

Nolan was a bit surprised. If the Adventurer's Hunting Bow really had three times the power of the wooden bow, with his archery skills, could he break the core of the Ruin Guards with one arrow?

In comparison, the Seasoned Hunting Bow paled a bit.

"How much it cost?" Nolan asked the most important question.

Wagner raised his palm and gestured the number. "80,000 Mora, lowest price, no bargaining!"

You know I haven't even said I want to bargain yet? Nolan was a little helpless.

But 80,000 Mora was still within his budget. He could buy it. Right, he still had to go to the Knights of Favonius to learn swordsmanship from Eula in the afternoon. He couldn't bring a curved knife, so he had to buy a dull blade sword too.

As a one-star weapon, the dull-blade sword was not expensive, only 10,000 Mora.

So in total, 70,000 Mora for the arrows, 80,000 Mora for the Adventure's Hunting Bow, and 10,000 Mora for the dull blade sword. His original 200,000+ Mora was now depleted.

He had thought earlier that having too much Mora was inconvenient and he should deposit it in a bank. Now looking back, it seemed a bit funny. Mora just flew away when spending it.

After waiting for a while, Nolan took all the purchased items and left the blacksmith's shop.

He first returned to the small courtyard on Val Berry Street, put away the things in his hands, and then took the newly purchased Adventurer's Hunting Bow to practice and get used to it.

Even with ordinary iron-tipped arrows, it was much fiercer than the wooden hunting bow, as expected of a two-star weapon. Shot into the mud ground of the yard, the arrows sank two-thirds deep.

It was hard to imagine how strong the legendary five-star weapons were.

As a former monthly card holder and gaming addict, even in games, he had never pulled many golden five-star weapons. Now that he was really in Teyvat, obtaining such legendary items was not just about having money.

Seeing it was close to noon, Nolan went out to buy some ingredients and cooked a simple noodle dish for lunch. The portion was quite large, otherwise he wouldn't be full.

At 1 pm, Nolan arrived at the training ground behind the Knights' Headquarters with the newly purchased dull-blade sword.

As expected, Eula was already waiting there. What surprised Nolan was that besides Eula, there was also an orange-haired girl present.

She had the same hair color as Vile, and if he was right, she should be Ellin, who often practiced her swordsmanship here, and greatly admired the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius - Jean.

At this moment, Eula seemed to be instructing Ellin in the movement of swinging the sword, and she also noticed Nolan's figure.

"Not bad, you're not late."

Eula crossed her arms, a satisfied smile on her fair face.

"It's only natural." Nolan strode over, took out the dull blade sword, and asked, "So Eula, shall we start practicing now?"

"Wait a minute." Eula shook her head, her icy blue hair swaying slightly. She said to Ellin, "Ellin, your Favonius swordsmanship is very proficient now. You can go practice your combat skills against the wooden posts."

"Okay, Captain Eula."

Ellin nodded and curiously glanced at Nolan before going to a side to spar with the wooden posts.

She had come to the training ground, as usual, today to practice swordsmanship, not expecting to encounter the renowned captain Eula of the "Reconnaissance Company".

It was said that she was a rival to the Headmaster. Although she still thought that the Headmaster was more powerful, if she could learn swordsmanship from Eula, who was only slightly weaker than the headmaster, she might be able to get closer to the headmaster in terms of strength.

That's why she had asked Eula for guidance.

Looking at Ellin, Nolan couldn't help but think that he occasionally received daily commissions from her in the game.

Perhaps soon she would rack her brains on how to instantly destroy five wooden posts, and learn countless amazing sword skills from the Traveler. She would eventually exclaim, "So that's how it's done?"

"Her name is Ellin. She plans to participate in next year's knight selection trials and has been practicing hard recently."

Eula said as she looked at Ellin.

"Is the knight selection very difficult?" Nolan nodded and asked curiously.

"With her current strength, she should have no issues," Eula raised her right hand and flicked the hair beside her ear, then continued, "Before I start teaching you Favonius swordsmanship, go through it completely first and let me see how much you've grasped."

After speaking, Eula lowered her hand and crossed her arms over her bosom again, lifting up the full curve of her clothes.

Nolan made an acknowledging "hmm" sound upon hearing this. He then stood in the center of the training ground and performed the introductory [Favonius Swordsmanship - Fundamentals] with the dull-blade sword.

Since he had not invested any Adventure EXP, the level was still low and it looked very clumsy, just barely passable.

After all, he had promised Eula to come to the training ground precisely to gain favor through interacting with her. What if Eula thought he was already qualified and refused to teach him more after he reached a high level?

"I can see you've put in some effort and managed to practice the basics from the book."

After Nolan finished performing it once, Eula spoke in an appreciative tone.

Her knee-high boots that wrapped around her legs took two steps forward. The half of the inner leg ring that was used to prevent the boots from falling off sunk slightly into her soft snow-white thighs.
