Players can forget everything because of 1500 Primogems, but the Traveler can't.
Because she can't get Primogems.
However, Rios can prepare another surprise for her.
After the event ended, Rios said to the girl who was preparing to leave: "Traveler, if you have time, you can go to the Children of Echoes to find Kachina."
"She prepared a gift for you—I believe you'll definitely like it."
Rios said with a smile.
"Kachina?"
Lumine slightly raised her brow, recalling that cute little girl, and for a moment, she felt a bit puzzled.
She seemed to have only given her some pointers when she first arrived in Natlan, and cheered her on during the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame—how did she end up getting a gift?
Oh, I get it. It must be Kachina's birthday today, so she prepared a gift for me.
After reasoning out the answer, Lumine smiled and nodded, indicating that she would go.
"A gift?" Hearing Rios's words, Paimon floated over, expectantly saying, "Then do I have a gift too?"
"I'm not sure." Rios said, "You'll have to go to the Children of Echoes and find Kachina to know."
In reality, he knew that Kachina had prepared a gift.
But to whet the appetites of the two and the players, Rios followed current trends and played the riddler for a bit, not spelling it out on the spot.
"This makes it really exciting now." Paimon blinked her eyes, expectantly looking at the blonde girl, "Traveler, let's hurry to the Children of Echoes to find Kachina."
"I can't wait anymore."
See.
She's anxious again.
Seeing Paimon's anxious appearance, Rios suddenly thought he could tease her mentality a bit here, so he said: "Traveler, you've played for so long—maybe you're tired. How about resting first?"
Hearing this, Lumine felt that during the chess match with Mavuika earlier, she had indeed overexerted her brain a bit, so she nodded in agreement.
"Ah?" Paimon exclaimed in surprise, furrowing her brows and flying back and forth beside the Traveler, "Traveler, this isn't the time to rest."
[Oof... Paimon's words here]
[Dao Ke Ta, this isn't the time to rest oh]
[Amiya, when did you arrive?]
[How badly does she want that gift?]
[Did she forget that every year on Alhaitham's birthday, he gives her a pile of books as a gift?]
[What will Kachina give, rocks?]
[Best if it's Primogems]
[That kind of thing only exists in dreams]
[Giving ore for forging weapons isn't bad either—forging weapons fits well with the current Natlan characters being released]
[If it's just rocks, then I won't do the story]
[Claim the Primogems and log off]
Some players weren't interested in missions without Primogem rewards, while the rest wanted to continue through the story.
Seeing how anxious Paimon was, the Traveler smiled helplessly, then looked at Rios: "Pyro Archon, I'll appreciate your kindness."
"But we still want to go to the Children of Echoes first."
If they didn't go soon, Paimon might end up crying from anxiety.
"In that case, you can ride with Mavuika." Rios said, "Her Flamestrider is very fast—it won't take long to reach the Children of Echoes."
Mavuika raised her brow, slightly curling her lips: "Traveler, Paimon, want to go for a ride with me?"
If she whistled too, she'd really look like that blond guy driving a motorcycle to take pretty girls home.
"Thanks for the trouble."
With a free ride available, Lumine naturally wasn't polite.
The group went outside, where Mavuika took out the Flamestrider, and the roar of the engine reached everyone's ears like a monster's hiss.
"I was actually thinking of holding Flamestrider races with Natlan people every week—there would definitely be a lot of spectators." Mavuika said, "It's a shame Xilonen can't make too many Flamestriders, so this plan can only fizzle out."
"Xilonen has too many things to make—she can't spare too much time and energy to fulfill your wishes." Rios said.
"But why do I feel like even if Xilonen has free time later, she still won't make more Flamestriders?" Mavuika's tone carried a hint of amusement.
"Then your feeling is right." Rios smiled, "She'd rather run far away than help forge more Flamestriders."
"She won't run." Mavuika smiled, "She'll just cuss me out thoroughly."
Hearing the two's conversation, Paimon tilted her head slightly and looked at the Traveler: "That artisan named Xilonen sounds really fierce— she even dares to scold Mavuika."
Mavuika was the former Pyro Archon, after all—after learning that identity, Paimon didn't even dare breathe loudly, let alone huff at her.
"Maybe the other party doesn't know Mavuika's identity..." Before she finished, the Traveler paused, "No, she should know."
After the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame ended earlier, when Mavuika talked to the Traveler, she had mentioned that among the six awakened heroes was Xilonen.
And the artisan who helped her forge the Ancient Name was also Xilonen.
"This is really a busy person." Lumine slightly opened her mouth, sighing as she said.
From what she had heard about Xilonen, she was either busy forging equipment, or forging defensive facilities—even Ancient Names could be forged.
That artisan named Xilonen must be someone who loves her work and is very diligent.
Otherwise, she wouldn't forge equipment day and night.
[Xilonen seems to be the one from the PV who sleeps in, right?]
[That outfit's color scheme is clearly Geo element—this one I have to pull]
[Kachina is Geo, Xilonen is Geo too—can these two team up?]
[They can't team up at all]
[According to leakers, Xilonen is a resistance shredder and damage booster with healing, Kachina got buffed but is still support positioning—the Brave set can't stack, so DPS drops a lot with both]
[People still believe leakers these days?]
[Wasn't the lesson from Natlan's three little ones enough?]
[Leakers did get backstabbed by miHoYo, but at least 80% of the mechanics were right—like Kinich changed elements but the output mechanic didn't]
[Kachina added molten rock crystallization mechanics, but it was on top of the original talents, still 80% like the leaker's info]
[Xilonen's current positioning is like Kazuha with resistance shred and damage boost, but with added healing—clearly support, no big changes expected]
[But what if Xilonen suddenly adds molten rock crystallization mechanics like Kachina?]
[If she adds it, so be it—that mechanic is just icing on the cake, adds damage to primitives, no effect on three-body people]
[She can't be like Nilou and boost damage on molten rock crystallization explosions too—that'd be too versatile]
