Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

Chapter 231: The stunning image

Ying always thought He Li was very smart, as smart as Zhen.

Know everything, know everything,

In comparison, I seem to know nothing except fighting.

I can't even beat him in a fight.

Just like now...

...

"Forging is a long and repetitive process,"

Inazuma is quiet and peaceful in winter. When the cold wind blows, maple leaves and snow melt into the soil, and everything is hidden under it,

The shadow was in a house in a village on the west side of the mountain, but it exuded an unusual warmth.

Unlike the howling cold wind outside, He Li was wearing a vest.

Even so, the beads of sweat that kept appearing on his bare arms still shone in the hot firelight.

Pong Pong Pong——

There were bursts of metallic knocking sounds.

Ying looked straight at the place where the fire burst out.

"Weapons, like strength, also have different levels. Different strengths naturally have different weapon levels."

He Li explained to her while swinging the hammer:

"So, in fact, compared to warriors, there are fewer blacksmiths who can make advanced weapons, and..."

He paused and looked at her:

"I always feel that the weapons I use should be forged by myself."

After saying that, he threw the sword blank in his hand back into the furnace with a bang.

"This is unqualified."

Seeing this, Ying showed some pity in his eyes.

She thought it was pretty good.

He Li picked up the towel hanging next to him and wiped his sweat, then sat down next to her.

Pointing at the furnace of 'waste', he said:

"You have seen too few weapons, so you think those are good. I will teach you for a while. After your horizons are broadened, you will naturally look down on those..."

"Um,"

Ying nodded slightly, hesitated for a while and then said:

"Can I learn it, too?"

She really had no confidence.

Just like she thought He Li was really smart, she always thought she was a bit stupid.

Can't do anything except fighting.

For example, a long time ago, I was so busy that I didn’t have time to eat.

She wanted to make her a glass of milk.

But she couldn't even do such a simple thing - she could even boil milk to black...

So it is a serious shadow, but in fact, Shadow doesn’t know what else he can do besides this.

"Oh, why think about that?"

He Li subconsciously wanted to reach out and pat her shoulder, but as soon as he reached out his hand, he realized something was wrong, so he touched her nose instead.

He showed a hearty smile:

"Things are done, not thought out. Come on, try it - I believe in you."

Before Ying could react, a hammer was stuffed into his hand.

She looked down at the hammer and tightened it subconsciously. She could even feel the temperature and sweat on it.

Believe me?

She didn't know why He Li always had such great confidence in her.

but...

"Um--"

She was a straightforward person, so she walked to the anvil without thinking too much, recalled He Li's actions, and imitated his posture.

"very good,"

He Li stood beside her at the right time:

"The first step of refining equipment..."

...

Just like the Ho-li brand Homa Staff from a long time ago, refining equipment is actually no different from blacksmithing.

Just a good match.

Whether it's the Tenmoku Kage katana or the Kirigiri no Hikari,

For He Li, it was just the difference between half a minute and half an hour.

But did that work for him? No,

He Li is very clear that truly useful things are never easy to obtain.

The weapon is, and so is that thing.

...

Crackling——

The charcoal was burning in the stove, sending out sparks. In front of the stove hung a few golden and crispy grilled fish.

The anvil still vibrates not far away,

Like He Li, Ying took off her long cotton coat and wore only a close-fitting garment, exposing her two fair arms to the air.

Under the firelight, beads of sweat hung from the angular collarbones of his neck, and occasionally fell down the ditch into the slightly trembling mountain peaks.

On her delicate face, her deep purple eyes became brighter and brighter.

Pong Pong Pong——

He Li had his back to her, squatting by the stove and pouring cumin on the crispy grilled fish.

The aroma of cumin and sizzling fish bursts out, mixed with the smoke from the stove into the chimney, and blends into the winter with the cold wind.

The wind banged against the windows, but the smithy was still steaming.

The sound of iron hammering was carried into the cold wind, and this place looked like an iron ingot that was constantly forged by the cold wind.

He Li held the sword blank that Ying had forged. Ying stood aside, clenching his hands like a primary school student whose homework was being checked.

After watching for a while, He Li finally smiled and praised:

"Very beautiful, it already has 60% of my power."

Ying is very talented. In just ten days, her skills have reached the level of a high-level blacksmith.

But it's understandable.

After all, he is a warrior, so his control over strength is naturally at its peak.

Ying didn't say anything, but her relaxed eyebrows expressed her happiness.

"Here, reward for you,"

He Li took the grilled fish off the stove and handed it to her, then walked behind her very naturally.

Seeing this, Ying also sat down on a chair nearby.

It was convenient for He Li to smooth out her long hair - it would be bad if it got burned by fire.

Feeling the gentle movements behind him, Ying lowered his head and nibbled on the grilled fish in his hand.

The crispy and juicy skin and meat were still the familiar delicacy. She subconsciously looked out the window.

Winter is already halfway over.

Ying remembered that she seemed to have spent the previous winters alone. Although Zhen really wanted to accompany her, there were always many things to do.

So for Ying, winter seems to be spent alone in meditation, just like animals hibernating.

But she wasn’t bored.

After all, this is the duty of a shadow, and she is used to it.

There was no change after coming to Inazuma. The only change, or the only surprise, was——

Found a rival.

So the winter that I only knew how to meditate turned into a winter where I had to fight every day in addition to meditation.

It was nothing, just a fight, and then we went our separate ways.

For Ying, there is not much difference from previous winters.

but now...

Ying chewed the fish, looked at the still warm anvil, felt the sensation coming from behind him, and brushed his fingers lightly over his ears, which were a little hot.

I looked out the window again, still covered in snow.

She felt that this winter seemed to be different.

It's like a watershed that completely separates the present moment from the past, the kind that you can never go back to.

She held the hammer in her hand, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Maybe forging is really her second hobby.

...

but...

He Li leaned forward and looked at her.

"A Ying?"

"Ok?"

Ying broke away from his thoughts and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Do you like grilled fish?"
