Chapter 14 - 13. Getting Geo
Chapter 13
It's been 3 days since Jeanne and I set out on a hike to the Geo Archon statue. During the breaks, she explained to me how to transform Anemo for healing, and when we were walking, we mostly discussed what I knew about other people and what impression I had of them from my visions. About how quickly the cheerful and sympathetic Amber could win any heart. About Kaye, who made me feel like an overly cunning womanizer whom I couldn't trust, even though I understood that my attitude was biased and he was a pretty good guy.
It's hard to put into words how embarrassed I was when Jeanne asked me what impression she made on me. At first, it looked like I was almost confessing my love to her, but in the end I was able to calm down and also express my opinion that it was wrong for a master or deputy master to deal with such trifles as searching for cats, when there are ordinary knights and it would be nice to hire an additional reliable secretary, because it is wrong when everything rests on just one person. Ning Guang would never have achieved the heights she has now without a competent distribution of responsibilities, if I remember correctly, she has 4 secretaries. Naturally, I doubt that she will listen to these words.
Chatting like this after a while, it already felt like we had long been familiar friends. Yesterday evening we reached the border of Li Yue, where we were able to stay overnight, and now we are almost close to the statue of Geo Archon. It was located perpendicular to the path on a small hill surrounded by golden flowers, and at a small distance there was a house in which someone obviously lived, perhaps even a merchant, whose stall was right next to the path and whom we did not encounter only because we immediately went to the statue.
- Well, try to activate this statue. - Jean told me with a pronounced curiosity on her face, after all, from my stories, she knew that the traveler could receive an element from each statue of the archons.
Nodding, I approached the statue, which, like the statue of the Anemo archon, looked like a chess piece, only this time there was an image of a man on top, who was comfortably seated on a throne holding a cube in front of him in his right hand. When I activated the statue, it was in this cube that energy began to gather and a moment later an energy ball with the Geo symbol flew out at me.
This time, when I received a new element, I felt more significant changes, in addition to increasing my internal energy by 5%, I felt my body become stronger, although I don't know yet to what extent this manifested itself.
- Well, how did it happen? – asked Genie.
In response to her question, I, using Geo, created 3 small golden stones that began to rotate above my palm.
