The name "Maiden Savior" is supposed to be derived from rescuing Vile from a group of Hydro Slimes, and the exact description of the effect is. Let's see:
[You Have a Knack for Getting Along with Girls, Making it Easier to Raise Their Affection.]
This Character Specialty made Nolan's eyes light up. Gaining others' affection wasn't something that could be forced.
After getting along with each other, you should actively look for opportunities to make contact with each other, but don't be too rude, and then just do what you need to do.
As long as you don't cause the other person to resent you, that's a big win!
Although the results of such a laying method are very slow, but it is safer and more stable. After all, the most difficult to fathom is the emotions of human beings.
One misstep could ruin everything.
And now that Nolan possessed this, it was like he had put on a Charisma Plus Character Specialty, so he thought that the road to gaining affection would be a lot smoother.
Perhaps the time when he obtains the power blessing of his first Archon is not far away.
Besides his excitement, Nolan looked at the more than 1000 Adventure EXP on the character panel and thought about taking out 900 EXP to throw into the leveling up - raising it to Level 10, a nice round number.
The now-familiar warmth suffused his cells as if bathing in a hot spring. This time, Nolan couldn't resist making strange sounds.
"Mm~ mm hmm ah!"
Nolan accidentally bumped into Sanborn, the owner of the fishing tackle store, while walking on the street back to his residence, and hastily converted his exclamation into a drawn-out sneeze.
"Good afternoon, long time no see, Sir Sanborn." Nolan greeted somewhat awkwardly.
The white-haired Sanborn looked at him and was silent for a while before saying as if remembering, "Oh! It's you. Good afternoon. I haven't seen you come to buy bait lately, is the fishing business not doing well?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir." Nolan smiled politely then reached out and patted the hunting bow and quiver he was carrying and said, "I was fortunate enough to be seen by Sir Draff, the hunter chief of Springvale Town to bring me into the hunting profession. Now I'm a newcomer adventurer in the Adventurers' Guild, Haha!"
A wisp of surprise surfaced on Sanborn's still hard and solid face:
"This.."
"Nowadays you young people are all so impatient. You should know that when I first started fishing at Cider Lake, I did it for half my life. Sigh..."
There was no preachy reprimand in his tone, just a bit of lament. What he lamented was not the immaturity and recklessness of young people. Nolan could feel a kind of sadness in it.
What Sanborn lamented was that time passed by generation after generation, and unknowingly he had grown old.
"After all, My goal has always been to become an adventurer who 'journeys into the stars and abyss'. Everything before was just small steps toward that," Nolan said, smiling. On this, he had never been lost.
"By the way, isn't it a bit early for Mr. Sanborn to go eat dinner at this time?" Nolan changed the subject, not wanting to talk in a heavy direction.
"Not early. I'm going to see an old friend and chat. Alas, recently he helped me import goods but the price has risen a lot, it shouldn't be like this." Sanborn rubbed his white hair and sighed again, unable to conceal his sadness.
"Oh?" Nolan frowned, slightly puzzled, "Does Mr. Sanborn have any difficulties? Maybe I can help you."
Sanborn put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, thinking for a moment:
"That's right, you're already an adventurer now, it's normal to take on some commissions. Then please come to my store for a bit tomorrow morning, I have some things I want to trouble you with."
"How can an adventurer's job be called troublesome?" Nolan hooked his waist and laughed, "Don't worry, I'll come on time tomorrow morning."
"Haha, young man it seems you are really suitable to be an adventurer." Sanborn smiled brightly, then said, "Then it's a deal, my old friend is still waiting for me, so I'll go over first."
"Goodbye." Nolan waved goodbye.
Evening rays slanted over the balcony planters of a nearby house, illuminating the Windwheel Asters unique to Mondstadt, their interconnected leaves spinning freely in the breeze.
Just like a windwheel.
Nolan childishly stopped to watch for a while, until a slight chill made him come to his senses - The sweat from adventuring had been blown dry. He mustn't catch a cold!
Although with his current physical condition, he wouldn't catch a cold, but it was his habit to take care of himself.
Back at the simple temporary residence, Nolan hastily boiled water and took a hot bath, feeling fresh and clear all over, very comfortable. He had just wanted to continue the slightly upward inflection that was forcibly interrupted by his sneeze.
Knock knock.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. The fragile wooden door shook slightly. Nolan coughed twice as if choking and shouted:
"Who is it? Wait a moment, getting dressed."
"It's Amber."
A spirited girl's voice came from outside the door. Just by hearing it, he could immediately find the matching appearance in his memory - it must be Amber!
After all, besides her, no one else would come to the Knight Order's relief shelter looking for him.
Hearing this, Nolan hurriedly put on a sleeveless vest and a slightly thinner pair of pants, took some time to tidy up his appearance, and then opened the door.
"Amber, and..."
Outside the house, Besides red-bunny-hairpin, goggle-wearing Amber, there was also a girl with icy-blue hair styled to accentuate her figure. She wore a black leather leotard with a semi-translucent silk panel teasing at smooth skin and a cute belly button.
Matching black leather thigh-high heeled boots and half-leg belts adorned her legs, with elegant silvery metal decorations befitting nobility.
A name surfaced in Nolan's mind - Eula.
"Hmph. Just because you're Amber's friend doesn't excuse leaving us waiting so long outside...I'm now holding a grudge!"
Eula turned aside, arms crossed, leaving Nolan her flawless profile.
"Um, her name is Eula. She is my good friend. As for what she said about holding a grudge, don't pay attention to it, haha." Amber pulled the goggles off her head and hung them back at her neck smiling sunnily.
Nolan said with a faint friendly smile:
"Although it feels a bit odd, but having a grudge held means I've left some impression at least. Makes me quite happy."
Knowing her story, he understood that when Eula said she held a grudge against someone, it wasn't just a casual catchphrase.
It meant that even though Nolan was still a stranger to her, it was really remembered by her clearly.
"It's good that you can think that way, Eula is actually a very good person." Amber looked a little happy, nodding her head repeatedly as if she had met a soulmate.
