Sometimes, while completing Daily Quests, all kinds of Side Quests would be triggered. Fu Yuan's combat experience had been gained along the way through completing Daily Quests and Side Quests.
Fu Yuan worked himself to the bone for the five crystals from Daily Quests. As expected of you, Honkai—even after becoming a system bound to Fu Yuan, you were still so stingy...
Perhaps it had sensed Fu Yuan badmouthing it internally, because the system's voice rang out in his mind again.
Main Quests unlocked.
Upon hearing the system's voice, Fu Yuan's spirits lifted. He had been in this world for a year and five or six months, yet the Honkai System had never issued him a Main Quest.
Fu Yuan had originally thought the system would only issue Main Quests when the Fourth Holy Grail War was about to begin. He had not expected it to start assigning him quests while there was still a full year before the Holy Grail War.
Walking through Mount Ensō with Scáthach, Fu Yuan focused his attention on his mind and waited for the system to issue its next Main Quest.
Main Quest One: Please proceed to the Bavarian Forest in Germany. In its southwestern region, locate the hidden Einzbern castle and take up residence within it.
The completion time limit for Main Quest One is one month.
Listening to the system's voice in his mind, Fu Yuan raised his brows in surprise and muttered, "The Main Quest is to go to Germany and find Einzbern castle?"
"Then the next Main Quest will most likely have something to do with Einzbern."
After all, Main Quest One had him travel to Germany and locate the Einzbern castle. Unless something unexpected happened, Main Quest Two would likely be related to Einzbern as well.
If you were wondering why the Main Quest did not display any rewards... there was actually a reason for that.
The Main Quests issued by Fu Yuan's Honkai System were different from Side Quests and Daily Quests.
Once Fu Yuan completed Daily Quests or triggered Side Quests, the system would immediately grant him his rewards.
But Main Quests were different.
After Fu Yuan completed a series of Main Quests, the system would assess his performance throughout them and grant him Main Quest rewards accordingly.
The more Main Quests he completed, the richer and more valuable the rewards he could receive in the end would be.
So, if he wanted more rewards and crystals from Main Quests, he just had to work hard to complete them.
Now that the system had issued Fu Yuan his first Main Quest, his next destination would be the Bavarian Forest in Germany.
Fu Yuan would have to leave Fuyuki City and head to Germany to find Einzbern castle.
But if he was leaving Fuyuki City, what about Scáthach??
After all, Fu Yuan had just invited Scáthach to live in his house, so now he had...
One: Leave Scáthach behind and have her stay at his home in Fuyuki City.
Two: Take Scáthach to Germany with him.
Three: Let Scáthach choose for herself.
Fu Yuan looked at Scáthach, who was walking on his left, and said, "Scáthach, I'm going to Germany next. Are you planning to come with me, or stay..."
Before Fu Yuan could finish, Scáthach answered directly, "I'll follow you. Wherever you go, I go."
"...Oh. I-Is that so? Mm, I understand." Fu Yuan turned his head to the right. What Scáthach had just said carried a faint implication of a husband singing and his wife following, and his thoughts had gone astray.
Celtic Characteristics: Strange Knowledge Acquired
Scáthach shifted her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at Fu Yuan, who had turned away. Seeing the unnatural expression on his face, the corners of her lips curled upward into a delighted smile.
Clearly, Scáthach had deliberately answered Fu Yuan that way.
She merely wanted to keep seeing Fu Yuan reveal awkward expressions under her words and actions, greatly satisfying her mischievous streak.
Just like that teasing Takagi-san.
As Scáthach looked at Fu Yuan's awkward expression, her heart filled with an inexplicable sense of delight.
Perhaps... this was why some old cows loved eating tender grass so much. [Fog]
After Fu Yuan and Scáthach stepped out of the Magic Barrier they had set up earlier, Fu Yuan glanced back. Behind them was still a dense, tranquil forest, rather than the miserable scene devastated by their battle.
This was a Magic Barrier related to obscuring one's line of sight. To prevent ordinary people and other magi from peering in, most magi would set up such Magic Barriers around their residences or Magecraft Workshops.
"Magic arrays are quite convenient in some ways," Fu Yuan remarked.
Scáthach looked at the contemplative Fu Yuan, parted her crystalline lips, and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you. But the price is that you have to with me..."
"Don't talk about any price." Fu Yuan interrupted Scáthach's seductive words, then said seriously, "I haven't even cultivated the powers I already know to their utmost limits. I don't want to put my energy and attention into other abilities."
"As the saying goes, broad but not refined, diverse but not pure."
"Indeed." Scáthach nodded slightly in agreement.
Scáthach was actually someone who focused on her craft as well. She focused on her spear techniques and primordial Rune Magic, and the spear techniques she specialized in had reached the terrifying level where, if a single spear strike attained perfection, even slaying a god would be as easy as turning one's hand.
Therefore, being broadly knowledgeable and versatile was not necessarily a good thing. Being too learned would only disperse one's focus and energy.
Besides focusing on Great Void Sword Qi and the Inch-Heart Fist Style, Fu Yuan had another reason for not intending to learn Magic Barriers from Scáthach.
That was... after Fu Yuan traveled to other worlds, he would be unable to use the magecraft of this world.
The magecraft of the Nasuverse was something engraved upon this world's magical foundation.
Through their Mage Circuits, magi generated magical energy within their bodies. They then used that energy to activate the magical foundation engraved upon the world, thereby performing magecraft.
Thus... if magi from this world traveled to another world, one without a magical foundation, they would be unable to use the magecraft they had painstakingly studied and learned.
This was one of the reasons Fu Yuan did not want to waste his time and energy on this world's magecraft.
Because even if he learned this world's magecraft, he could only use it in worlds that possessed a magical foundation.
It was completely different from Fu Yuan's Great Void Sword Qi and Inch-Heart Fist Style. Great Void Sword Qi could absorb the energy of heaven and earth into his body, then transform it into true qi.
Therefore, with Great Void Sword Qi, Fu Yuan could cultivate no matter what world he traveled to—unless that world lacked the energy of heaven and earth entirely.
Fu Yuan and Scáthach left Mount Ensō. It was already afternoon, meaning they had probably fought on Mount Ensō for several hours.
After leaving Mount Ensō, Fu Yuan and Scáthach headed toward where they had parked the car.
As they walked, Fu Yuan stole a glance at Scáthach beside him.
Looking at Scáthach in her purple-black, gauzy skintight outfit, Fu Yuan wore an expression as though he wanted to speak but hesitated.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Has my clothing torn again?" Scáthach asked lazily from beside Fu Yuan.
