Genshin Impact: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable

Chapter 256: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [256]

Chapter 256 - This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [256]With countless questions still lingering in his mind, Luo Qing glanced at the emerald-green branch quietly resting in his system inventory.

As he prepared to leave the Void, a soft voice called out behind him.

"Luo Qing, did you feel it just now?"

"Feel what?"

Feigning confusion, Luo Qing turned to look at Nahida's adorable, soft face. Her expression stirred a memory from earlier: the name Nahida... Wasn't that the name he had given her?

No way... Did she really turn out to be my daughter?

"I felt a familiar presence in the Void," Nahida murmured, her voice low. "But it disappeared before I could locate it."

She had been guiding Lumine and Paimon through the Endless Dream when she suddenly sensed an energy in the Void—an energy strikingly similar to her own. Yet, before she could investigate, it had vanished.

"Sorry, Nahida, but I didn't sense anything," Luo Qing replied after a moment's thought. He decided against telling Nahida about what had just happened.

At least not until Buer was resurrected and he had unraveled the truth about the past few millennia.

"I see..."

Nahida lowered her head, disappointment evident in her demeanor.

She had a hunch that the energy she sensed was left behind by the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata...

But she had failed to grasp it.

"Hey now."

Luo Qing gently ruffled her hair and said softly, "A girl frowning all the time won't look pretty, you know."

"Ugh..."

"By the way, how's Lumine doing?" he asked, smoothly changing the subject.

"They've figured out the truth of the dream and are

"It's nearly complete," the Doctor replied with a small nod. "Once he fully absorbs the power and authority of the Gnosis, he will become a true god."

The corner of the Doctor's lips curled into a faint smile, as though admiring his masterpiece.

"Looks impressive," Luo Qing remarked, glancing at the Mechanical God. "But the color scheme could use a little green to balance all that purple."

"By the way," Luo Qing turned to the Doctor, "you fused the Gnosis with him. Aren't you worried about reporting back to Her Majesty the Tsaritsa?"

"There's no need for concern."

The Doctor chuckled. "Everything is proceeding as planned."

"..."

Another one of those "it's all part of the plan" types, huh?

Luo Qing didn't bother responding, instead taking another look at the Mechanical God.

"So, it's up to Lumine after all..." he thought.

Acquiring the Dendro Gnosis would be straightforward—he could simply storm the Akademiya and take it. Their pitiful combat ability wouldn't require him to lift a finger.

At most, he'd need to console Nahida afterward.

But the Electro Gnosis... That was a different story.

Now fused with Scaramouche, it was unlikely the brat would lend it willingly.

Forcing it from him would mean burning bridges entirely—a move that would complicate Luo Qing's relationship with the Tsaritsa.

And since his usual emotional manipulation tactics didn't work on her, angering her could result in him being turned into an ice sculpture.

Better to tread carefully.

All things considered, Lumine was the perfect candidate for this task.

He could nudge her toward collecting the Gnosis for him and throw in some minor benefits for Paimon to help sway her decision.

It's what we Harbingers do, isn't it?

A little self-interest here and there was perfectly reasonable.

With his plan set, Luo Qing decided to track down Lumine and give her some subtle hints.

Just as he was about to leave the workshop, a thought occurred to him. Turning back, he addressed the Doctor.

"Oh, and when Scaramouche wakes up, be sure to pass along a message for me."

Luo Qing's lips curled into a sly smile as he added, "Tell him that to celebrate his ascension, I've prepared a little gift."

Hey, Kunikuzushi. Guess what? I brought your mom to Sumeru.

How's that for a surprise?
