Grand Leader Falga watched the three people leave, turned around and smiled at the shocked members of the West Wind Knights, and then fell to the ground due to serious injuries. She also heard that kind of thing from the Prince of Solstice later. In order to avenge the tragic death of the people on the border, Prince Zhi Dong went to hunt the alchemical monsters in anger. He was so scared of the alchemical monsters that emerged from the ruins of the ancient country of Canria that he did not dare to invade human land again for several months. She also heard that in the winter, a civilian girl knelt in front of the prince's carriage when he was patrolling the streets, begging him to make a decision for his father who died unjustly. The father of the folk girl was a magistrate of Zhidong. He offended Duke Zhidong by sentencing the son of the duke who committed rape to death. A few days later, the girl's family's home was ransacked, and her father was arrested and imprisoned. He was brutally tortured to death. With her last hope, the girl wrote a letter in blood and begged Prince Zhidong to make the decision. After the prince understood the ins and outs of the matter, he just told the girl to go home first. The next day, the Duke of Zhidong, who held a high position in the Zhidong Kingdom, was found hanging from the big tree in front of the girl's house. The carriage of Prince Zhidong was parked not far away. When she saw this piece of information, she leaned on the back of her office chair and pondered for a long time.
Duke Solstice, he was a relative of the Ice Queen, a true royal relative, but Prince Solstice just hanged him to death. What a relief! If it were him, or anyone else, he would never have such courage. That kind of thing is called bloody nature, and it is a temperament that can only be developed in the best men. Compared with Grand Leader Falga and Prince Solstice, Kaia lacks this temperament. Therefore, it is difficult for him to truly enter his heart. Furthermore, Prince Solstice is about to launch an action to overturn the laws of heaven. The continent of Teyvat will definitely be in chaos in the future. In the coming period, she will have to work hard to build Mondstadt into a strong country, so that she can gain a chance of survival in the future. The news of Grand Commander Falga's death in battle has not yet been announced. She is worried that once it is announced, it will shake the morale of the people and the military. Now, the well-being of the people of Mondstadt all depends on her. She feels unprecedented pressure and is unwilling to devote her energy and patience to these unimportant things. So that day, she changed her usual obedient style and severely criticized Kaiya, rudely and directly. It is indeed inappropriate to treat Kaia like this, but there is nothing we can do about it. I hope Kaia can understand. Putting away her messy thoughts, she suddenly saw a basket of sunset fruits on the cabinet next to her, and asked Lisa, "Who sent this?" "Oh, the traveler and Paimon came here early in the morning. They took on a mission from the Adventurers Association last night and returned to the city at dawn. The traveler said that they might leave for Liyue in a few days. I picked several baskets of fresh sunset fruits and sent them over to thank the Knights of the West Wind for taking care of them.” Lisa said, taking out two fruits from the basket, handing one to Qin, and putting the other to her mouth, and said with a smile: "That little thing Paimon said that you have been depressed recently, and asked me to watch you eat, and say that you If you eat the fruits she picked by hand, you will definitely feel better. Don’t let her down. Oh, they also sent a basket to the library. I had already eaten it before I came to your office. It’s not poisonous. Do not worry." Qin rolled her eyes at her and snatched the sunset fruit from her hand: "You are still eating it after you have eaten it. Aren't you losing weight recently?" "Only when you are full can you have the energy to lose weight. Hey, the delicious smell is coming from the Deer Hunter restaurant. Qin, let me treat you to dinner tonight. I heard that they have recently researched some new desserts. " "I do not have time." "I have to go even if I don't have time." Lisa said with a sullen face, deliberately looking fierce, "Several of the children adopted by Grand Captain Falga have birthdays today, so I specially ordered a big cake." Grand Leader Falga was not married, so he had no children, but he particularly liked children, so every time he traveled abroad, he would bring back some orphans and take good care of them.
Gradually, the number of children increased, reaching more than 20. Most of those orphans came from unfortunate families. Some were abandoned by their parents and became beggars on the streets. Some were sold to brothels, and some became slaves. It was Chief Falga who rescued them and rejuvenated their lives. Out of brilliance. Many things have happened recently, causing Qin to have a bad temper. She is unwilling to go out, unwilling to communicate with others, and locks herself in the office all day long. But those orphans were the last wealth left to Mond by Commander Falga, so she had to go. Lisa stepped on the light cat steps and turned around elegantly towards the door: "That's right. See you in the evening. My dear Grand Leader, remember to change into casual clothes. The work clothes of the Knights of the West Wind will make you It creates a sense of distance from the children.” "I know, thanks for reminding me...wait, what did you call me just now?" "Nothing, you must have heard wrong." Lisa waved her hand and gently closed the office door. Qin's originally calm face became uneasy in the gradually shrinking crack in the door. In the office, Qin sighed softly. Although she has been under great pressure recently and has occasionally been forgetful, she has not yet experienced auditory hallucinations. Just now she clearly heard Lisa calling herself "Grand Commander", and she was extremely keenly aware that Lisa might have guessed about Grand Commander Falga. Death in battle. This matter was a secret that Su Yu told her. She was the only one who knew about Mond, so the answer was obvious. The smart Lisa must have guessed the truth through her recent bad state. Alas, I really need to adjust my state. She took a bite of the Sunset Fruit and spat it out with a "wow" sound. This fruit was extremely bitter, which was very different from the sweet and sour taste of Sunset Fruit. Immediately he frowned tightly, stared at the fruit in his hand carefully, and then couldn't help laughing. This is not a sunset fruit, it is clearly a bitter fruit! The appearance of the bitter fruit and the sundown fruit are very similar, but the taste is very different. Many outsiders who come to Mondstadt always tend to confuse these two wild fruits. Lisa must have eaten it too, she didn’t remind her on purpose just now. "Traveler and Paimon, you are going to make a fool of yourself this time." …… The two parties involved did not know at this moment that they had given the wrong fruit. They sat at the neatly arranged tables in front of the Deer Hunter restaurant, eagerly waiting for the waiter to bring the delicious breakfast. Traveler Kong always made fun of Paimon: "Your stomach growled just now, you are really worthless. I have told you that you are a foodie, but you still refuse to admit it." Paimon, who was floating in the air, pointed at the corner of his mouth angrily: "Huh, you're already drooling, and you still have the nerve to blame me." Kong lazily leaned on the sofa and joked: "There is no one in the world who is more miserable than me. After working hard in that secret place all night, I only earned a hundred molas from Miss Catherine, which was only enough Today’s meal money. If this goes on, when will I be able to save up enough to travel to Liyue? Otherwise, I’ll sell you to Amber. I think she likes you." Paimon explained seriously: "Humph, I don't want to... Miss Amber always likes to pinch my face. She said that my face is plump, soft and fragrant, and she really wants to take a bite. It sounds like How scary. Miss Amber has two little tiger teeth. If she bites her, her face will be disfigured, right?" "There is also the issue of travel expenses. His Royal Highness Prince Zhi Dong said that we can go to the Goethe Hotel for free food and accommodation. All the expenses will be borne by the fools. But you refused. How can you blame me?" Kong's voice was filled with a hint of bitterness: "Yes, why do you refuse Prince Zhidong's help? The VIP room at the Goethe Hotel is so comfortable. The cost for one day is tens of thousands of molas. If we stay there for a month, it is more than 30. Mora. With our earning power, if we want to repay his favor in the future, we can go to the Solstice Kingdom to work as slaves. I heard that slaves in the Solstice Kingdom have to work during the day and at night, and only give them food for each meal. A slice of bread…” "Traveller, you're scaring me again. I heard Miss Lisa say that three years ago, His Royal Highness the Prince reformed and abolished slavery. In fact, I know that you don't want to owe others a favor unless you have to. , when you find your sister, you will leave this continent immediately..."
Paimon took a sip of coffee, moistened his dry lips, then flew behind Sora's shoulders, stretched out a pair of small arms to massage him to relax, and said in a flattering tone: "Thank you, traveler. Although I This food connoisseur... ahem, likes to taste food, but I'm not useless at all, hehe." Paimon's hand was not very strong, but Sora's heart felt warm. Paimon knows that if he treats her well, she will treat him well. This is the most harmonious and harmonious partnership. Without Paimon accompanying me all the way, I really don’t know how I would have spent those boring days. "Oops... Traveler, your hands are bleeding." Paimon suddenly exclaimed. "It's okay. I got a little injured when I dealt with those Qiuqiu people last night. I wouldn't even have noticed it if you didn't tell me." Paimon started sobbing: "Ugh... I'm sorry for you. It's all my fault. You kept clamoring for a delicious meal, so you took on such a dangerous adventure mission to make money. Paimon will never eat a big meal again. , woo woo woo..." After being together for so long, it was the first time she saw the traveler injured, and she was deeply shocked. This time it was a minor injury, what about next time?Next time you may be seriously injured, and your life may be in danger. She cared too much about the traveler, and it would make her heartache to think of that possibility, even if there was only a slight possibility. "Don't cry, it's really just a minor injury, a layer of skin fell off." After Sora comforted him for a long time, Paimon stopped crying and made a request: "Then give me a hug." "There are so many people watching, it has a bad influence..." As soon as Sora finished speaking, Paimon hugged his neck with red eyes, like a kitten, and put her little head into his arms for comfort. "I really can't help you." Kong looked at his companions in his arms fondly, but he was thinking in his mind that if he accepted some dangerous commissions in the future, he must send Paimon away in advance. He also wanted to live a peaceful and comfortable life, but obviously he couldn't. From the moment he stepped into this strange continent, finding his sister was his only motivation to move forward. Judging from the current situation, compared with legendary figures like the Prince of Winter, or the knights of the Knights of the West Wind, his own He was too weak and might have died on the way before he could find his sister. Therefore, he must become stronger and work hard to improve himself. The dangerous missions of the Adventurers Association are precisely the most effective opportunities to hone yourself! …… Ps: This chapter is very long and is published as two chapters together. Chapter 154 Confidence More and more people came to the Deer Hunter restaurant for breakfast, and soon Sora and Paimon were filled with diners. To Sora's right, there were two young men wearing miner's clothing, which caught his attention. "Hey, man, did you see it? There's an emergency announcement posted on the bulletin board next to the flower bed. The gambling house is open all day today."
"Really? In the past, we were only allowed to open for three and a half hours in the afternoon every day. The Knights of the West Wind have relaxed regulations, which is great!" "There is no relaxation. This policy is temporary. Leader Qin has always demanded the strictest management of the gambling house industry. She only allows operations for three and a half hours a day. This is the decree she issued. I think this matter has something to do with Prince Solstice , I heard from a friend that he publicly challenged the Immortal’s chess skills in Liyue, and the casino specially added event betting for this purpose, and the current odds are quite high..." The surrounding environment was so noisy that Sora couldn't hear clearly the conversation between the two, but he roughly understood what they were talking about. "Paimon, how much money do we have on us in total?" Ever since he met Paimon, Sora had lost his "financial power". Paimon, a miser, insisted that she should take care of the money. After Sora considered it, he left it to her. If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, let this guy learn to manage money, and then he will know how to be thrifty. Paimon stretched out his ten fingers and counted for a long time: "Excluding the money for breakfast, there are only eighty moras left." Kong unceremoniously exposed her lie: "No. Last week, I accepted several tasks from Miss Catherine, and you hid fifty moras of private money. We should have 130 moras left! You secretly bought food. ?” For Paimon, calculating hundreds of moras is a huge project, because she is an out-and-out math idiot and often cannot calculate numbers clearly. But for a few hundred molas, Sora could accurately calculate expenses and balances with just a little careful attention, so he immediately realized that Paimon had lied. Paimeng explained aggrievedly: "Well, I was discovered by you. I originally wanted to give you a surprise. I paid the fifty morra to Miss Catherine and entrusted her to issue a missing person notice to help you find her as soon as possible. Sister. This kind of business requires at least one hundred moras, but Miss Catherine said that we got a half discount because of our relationship with Prince Solstice." "I'm sorry Paimon, I blamed you wrongly." Paimon smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. I shouldn't hide it from you. Traveler, do you want to go to the gambling house?" "Well, I want to buy His Highness the Prince to win, and I believe he will win. According to the current odds, with a principal of eighty molas, we can earn a hundred molas back, which is equivalent to earning money for a breakfast." "Wow, let's go place bets after breakfast." The casino was crowded with people, and several sales windows were lined up. Fortunately, Sora and Paimon came earlier, and they only had to wait for more than half an hour before it was their turn. The salesperson was a woman with short hair. She found out that it was Sora and Paimon who were recently famous in the city. She smiled and greeted: "Good morning, traveler. There are many games here to bet on. Nata's Arena Competition , Fontaine’s classical musical instrument performance competition, Inazuma Yaedo’s light novel essay contest, Mondstadt’s Wind Flower Festival brewing competition, and Liyue’s Go competition are some of the most popular events.” The salesman knew that the two had just arrived in Mondstadt, so he patiently recommended several events and explained the specific gameplay. Paimon rubbed his little hands after listening: "It all sounds very fun. But we only buy Liyue's Go competition. I have discussed it with the traveler, and the prince will win." "Are you sure?" The salesman was a little surprised, "The immortal who everyone bought won." Paimon's tone became tense: "Why? Don't you have confidence in the prince?" The salesman whispered to them a piece of information: "The immortal from Liyue won the title of 'Go Immortal' in the last Go competition. Although the prince from Zhidong is powerful, he is obviously no match for the immortal in Go. There is a professional organization to evaluate it." However, Immortal Liyue’s chess skills rank first among the Seven Kingdoms.” Paimon had to seek Sora's opinion: "Traveler, what should we do? Otherwise, let's buy Immortal Victory with everyone." Kong insisted on his opinion: "I have confidence in the prince." "Well then, good luck to you." The salesperson fills out a voucher and stamps it with the official seal of the gambling house, and the business is completed. After walking out of the gambling house, Paimeng asked worriedly: "Is what the salesperson just said true? Why do I have a bad feeling?"
Kong tapped her little head with his finger and said with a smile: "Just trust me. His Highness the Prince is prudent in his actions and is by no means a reckless person. Since he has decided to challenge the Immortal, he must be fully confident." The two walked around the city of Mondstadt, and then planned to go out of the city to grab a Qiuqiu camp, where they could make fire for cooking and rest at night. In this way, they even saved on accommodation fees. Now that the two of them are penniless, this is the only way. At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up on the busy street, and people screamed one after another. A fiery red figure descended from the sky on the wings of wind. It was Amber, the reconnaissance knight of the Knights of the West Wind. Paimon greeted happily: "Amber, you are so awesome. You can still fly in the sky in such a strong wind."
