Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 358 Jacob

"It's Father!"

Mamehe smiled happily, and even her tail began to wag gently, but it was obvious that what she said did not make Ying and Paimon happy.

Looking at Paimon who was frightened and flying around, Xines held her down with a bit of amusement.

"Don't be afraid. Have you forgotten where this place is?"

Ying's doubts seemed to be resolved, and she looked at Xines thoughtfully.

"You mean..."

"Yes, that's it."

Because of the existence of Mamehe, Sineus and Ying did not mention the name of Erinace.

But Ying was still a little puzzled. According to Hines, Erinace had clearly died long ago, so why could he still talk to her?

Ying shook her head, put aside the things that she couldn't figure out for the moment, and went back to Mamehe's home first.

"Mamehe, is there anything else you need?"

"No, let's go home!"

Mamehe jumped and skipped quickly towards home, because just now her father told her that Mr. Jacob, who also admired her paintings, had come and was waiting for her at her home.

Mamehe feels very happy when she thinks about people who like her paintings gathering together.

Hey, the paints are ready, I’ll draw a portrait for them together later!

"Why does Mamehe seem so happy?"

Paimon held his chin, a little puzzled.

"Is preparing the paint such a joyful thing for her?"

Hines put the pure ore that Ying had thrown on the ground into the box, shrugged and said,

"Who knows, but we better hurry up and follow her, she's already waving at us."

Just as Xines said, Mamehe saw that the three people did not catch up and kept waving from a distance.

"Come on, let's go home!"

Mamehe did not choose to tell the good news directly to the three people of Hines. After all, to them, Mr. Jacob was just a stranger.

But she thinks that everyone can definitely become good friends!

The group returned along the same path they had come, and soon they saw the familiar house, except that there were four more people near the house.

"Eh? Hines, Ying, are those the mercenaries who were on land just now?"

Paimon pointed at the mercenary who seemed to be rummaging through something and spoke with some surprise.

Ying frowned and pulled Mamehe back.

"Be careful, they seem to be here to steal the painting."

"Stealing paintings?"

Mamehe was a little stunned. She skipped over the three unfamiliar mercenaries and focused her attention on the purple figure behind them.

"But Mr. Jacob is also..."

Hines pushed aside Ying's hand that was holding onto Mamehe's, and gently patted Mamehe's head.

"Jacob, is this the person you said admired your paintings?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then let's go and ask clearly, after all, we don't want any misunderstandings."

Hines's eyes also had a complicated look, as he remembered Jacob's story quite clearly.

He was saved by his companion Rene using the power of the abyss when he was on the verge of death, so he cooperated with Rene and planned to save this world that was about to collapse in his own way.

Hines couldn't make any comment. Rene and Jacob, two ordinary people, gave up everything they had just to save Fontaine, and even broke up with their old friends.

Even if their methods aren't quite right...

When the four of them approached, Jacob was commenting on Seymour, with a subtle smile and nostalgia in his words.

"Alan's little invention...hasn't changed much yet..."

The mercenary standing next to Jacob was reporting his gains to him.

"Boss, I've searched the whole house, but I still can't find the paint you mentioned..."

After saying that, the mercenary continued to look at Jacob awkwardly.

"...Um...the reward..."

Jacob's eyes flashed with impatience, but he still acted elegantly and properly.

"Don't worry about the compensation, it's whatever it is..."

Jacob looked at the messy house again.

"...One more thing, could you all please clean up the house? After all, it's not very polite to just barge into someone else's house and rummage around. Also, put away these messy graffiti."

"Clean the house? We are mercenaries..."

"I'll pay you double."

"The boss is right! Mercenaries should be more polite!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, the corner of Xines' mouth twitched slightly. He poked Paimon,

"Paimon, I believe you and this mercenary leader must have something in common."

Ying nodded in agreement.

"In terms of not caring about face for Mora, you two are evenly matched."

"Hey! Why are you talking about me again!?"

......

"I'm so amused! The contrast between this mercenary's tone before and after is too great."

"Mercenary: There's nothing I can do. If I had a few Moras in my pocket, I wouldn't be like this."

"But what this conversation reveals is that Jacob doesn't actually like Mamehe's paintings, he just wants her paint?"

"Actually, I was wondering just now. Is Mamehe's pigment the mineral from Erinace's body, or is it red... Why does it feel like blood?"

"That's a problem. Blood is a liquid, and this ore looks solid no matter how you look at it. So the pigment is actually Erinus's blood clot!"

"Your first priority is to go to the hospital and treat your cerebral thrombosis."

"Hmm, it suddenly occurred to me that Erinus is still conscious. If we help him remove the blood clot, shouldn't he thank us? I'm not greedy, so I'll just give him 1600 gems."

"What a casual..."

......

The three men's banter had no intention of hiding their whereabouts, so Jacob and the three mercenaries immediately became alert and turned around to see Mamehe and Sines and others who had just returned home.

Unlike the focus of Xines and Ying, Mamehe's joy at seeing Jacob again was shattered when she heard Jacob say "messy graffiti".

"...a mess?...a graffiti...?"

Mamehe's tail, which had been shaking all the way, slowly fell down at this moment, like a broken dogtail grass.

"It's also not polite to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, sir and ladies."

Jacob spoke calmly, as if it was not him who was caught doing something bad but the three people sitting opposite him, Hines.

"Introduce yourself, gentleman thief."

Hines crossed his arms, took a step forward, and protected the other three behind him. A small fight would not matter, but if Jacob transformed, Mamehe's small body would be in trouble if he was touched.

However, I guess Jacob wouldn't do such a thing.

Ignoring Hines's ridicule, Jacob spoke calmly.

"Me? Just call me Jacob. I'm a traveling art collector..."

After a brief self-introduction, he looked at Mamehe and said with a smile,

"Ms. Mamehe, long time no see."
