People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 346: Mond's Universal Maid and the Overworked Captain Qin
"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly standing there and not moving?"

"It's rare to see you look nostalgic. Have you been here before?"

Although Lin Feng grabbed her and pinched her cheek for a long time in the car,

But afterwards, because the food compensation was too generous, Paimon chose to completely forget about the matter.

At this moment, looking at the stone bridge in front of me, which has nothing special except a few more pigeons,

Because she rarely noticed similar emotional fluctuations in the scholars around her, she asked with some confusion.

".Yeah. I guess I've been here before."

"But now that I think about it, it seems like it was a long time ago."

He waved his hand and attracted a few pigeons to land on his arms.

Looking at these white birds that should have been very alert,
Now that he has reached the maximum level of life affinity, it is obvious that he will no longer scare away these little guys.

"Oh? You've been to Mondstadt before? It's a pity that we didn't meet earlier."

Kaiya, who was standing by, looked over in surprise after hearing what Lin Feng said.
But no matter how he searched for relevant information in his mind, he had no impression of ever having met this scholar before.

I shook my head slightly and decided to think about it carefully later when I have time.
Because he still had important things to do, Kaia pointed to Amber who was rushing over behind him and told him his plan of action:
"——This journey is long and bumpy. I see that many scholars in your country are a little tired.

As the host, the Knights should allow you to settle down in the city for a few days. "

"In addition, thanks to your bravery, the leaders of the treasure-stealing groups captured on the road are not only in good condition, but also obviously know some valuable information.

In order to avoid any changes over time, I also decided to conduct the interrogation as soon as possible."

"So, I will first book a room for everyone from the Ordinance Court near the Goethe Hotel for them to rest, and then escort these treasure-stealing groups to the interrogation site.

The task of taking the two to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius was left to Amber."

"."

He casually took care of everyone's expenses for a few days in Mondstadt.

Because even when he treated Paimeng to a meal at Wangshu Inn before, he didn't show any pain on his face.

Judging from Kaeya's performance, at least the financial situation of the Knights of Favonius is still very good.

"Okay, please contact Leila directly for the follow-up resettlement work. She is also one of the responsible persons."

"I have long heard of the diligent and conscientious acting leader of the Knights of Favonius. Now I am finally able to pay him a formal visit."

Seeing that Kaia had arranged a treat for the bard who was trying to get a ride,

Lin Feng still has great confidence in his ability at work.

"Haha, the acting leader is indeed conscientious, but her work is too tiring.
If possible, I hope you two can help persuade her to take a rest for a while."

Kaiya half-jokingly expressed his opinion of his boss. He felt a headache just thinking about Qin's feat of drinking a month's coffee quota in two days.

"."

Seeing that the group of scholars behind him used some strange method to store the self-regulatory organs into some black blocks,
Although I have heard them say that this is a storage device specially approved by the gods, it is not yet possible to mass produce it.
But thinking back on his experiences along the way, Kaeya always felt that Xumi technology should have developed to a level that is beyond the reach of an ordinary country in a very short period of time.

Shaking his head, he felt that Mond had no basis to follow this technological path.

Kaiya could only sigh in his heart, thankful that Xumi's foreign policy was not as radical as Zhidong's.

".It seems that the scholars are all ready. I will take my leave now."

"Through some information obtained during the interrogation, I can confirm that the group of treasure-stealing troops you two defeated are basically the elite troops in Mondstadt.
On the way here, I helped the Knights of Favonius solve such a big problem at once. I think the reward given by the acting leader will not disappoint you two."

After saying goodbye politely once again, Kaia turned around and walked away, starting to deal with some of his remaining work.

The streets inside Mondstadt, in the center of the Wine Lake.

Between the spacious streets, the midday sun shines softly from outside the city wall, casting shadows of many uneven buildings.

The neat and flat stone roads and houses with some signs of weathering also quietly reveal a sense of solemnity that comes from a long history.

But if Mond's architecture gives people a traditional and serious impression,
Then the many Mond residents who were wandering aimlessly on both sides of the road, exuding a relaxed atmosphere, best reflected the "freedom" of this country.

".Is this Mondstadt? The kingdom protected by the God of Wind? The overall atmosphere seems to be very different from that of Liyue."

A little yellow-haired man who had just arrived and whose first stop was Liyue, looked at the completely different mental states of the surrounding residents and said with some surprise,
Now he has discovered that his "guide" may not know more than himself in many cases. The people Ying is communicating with are actually Lin Feng and Amber beside him.

".Haha, after all, Mondstadt is a city-state known as 'free', and people generally prefer to live their own lives."

"——But don't think that all Mondstadt people like to hang around drunk all day. In fact, there are many Mondstadt people who are as hardworking as the wind!"

Although she was leading the way, Amber felt that she also had to take on the role of a qualified tour guide.

Knowing that many people from other countries tend to have some misunderstandings about Mond's situation when they first come here, Amber also kindly explained.

"."

"Eh? Why don't you say anything? Don't you believe it?"

"——I'm really not lying to you! Only a small number of people would drink until they fall down on the street drunk all day long!"

After hearing her explanation, Ying and Paimon just stared at the drunk people lying on the roadside in front of them without saying anything.
Amber also touched her head awkwardly, trying to prove that she was not lying.

"——Oh right! I remember that some scholars from the Ministry of Education came here to conduct a sociological survey.
Mr. Lin Feng, you must know that I am not lying, right? "

In the face of such facts, I think my explanation is not very convincing.
Amber looked at the young scholar who had been silent since a while ago, and spoke as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"."

".Well. Miss Amber is generally correct."

Coming back to his senses from his thoughts, Lin Feng nodded.

".Mond is the city of freedom, and freedom certainly means more than just drunkards."

"Because the climate conditions in this area are extremely favorable, the resources in the wild are also very abundant, and the pressure of survival is extremely low.
Therefore, under the protection of the Knights of Favonius, the residents here have more freedom to choose the lifestyle they want. "

"While there are lazy people, there are also hardworking people. Although I think the majority of the latter are concentrated in the Knights of Favonius,
However, the extremely high proportion of adventurers in Mondstadt also shows the residents’ understanding of freedom.”

Indeed, he had seen the paper on the social status of Mond, and Lin Feng's response made Amber feel relieved. "Huh, I'll tell you."

"In fact, people don't necessarily leave all their troubles to the Knights of Favonius. Some people choose to do it themselves."

"No-a-er-!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden loud shout.

Amber, who was about to say that the people of Mond were also very hardworking, suddenly froze. She could already foresee what would happen next.

Looking back at the white-haired ball beside her who suddenly screamed, Amber had no idea why Paimon knew this "summoning spell" that was circulated in Mond.

"."

"Huh? Is there any problem with doing this?

I just saw in the void that just shouting these three words can solve all problems, so I wanted to give it a try."

Paimeng seemed to feel that it was a bit foolish for him to believe in such an urban rumor that seemed unreliable at first glance, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Well, it seems that nothing will happen. I won't believe this next time."

"boom--"

Paimon hadn't even finished his reflection yet.
A gust of wind that made it hard to open one's eyes blew in from the left, and then a gentle yet reliable voice reached the ears of everyone present:

"——May I ask if you encountered any difficulties?"

"——Leave it to me! You can leave everything to me!"

Just like the urban legends say,
After Paimon called out the name Noelle,

A girl with silver hair, green eyes, two red roses on her head, and a maid outfit suddenly appeared at the scene from nowhere.

He looked at the newly arrived foreign tourists in front of him with concern and uttered these two lines of introduction that are well-known to everyone in Mond.

At the same time that Noelle appeared in front of Paimon with great efficiency,

At a time when most residents and even the Knights of Favonius were enjoying lunch,
There are still people working hard in the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius located in the southwest of Mondstadt.

On the right side of the Knights' Gate is the office of the acting leader.

Qin, who hadn't slept for a long time because of too much work, let out a long sigh and put down the document she had just processed.

Reflexively, he picked up the white cup on his left hand and drank the five-fold concentrated coffee in one breath.

Just looking at the black liquid is enough to make most people's mouths bitter.
But even such a horrible taste experience only made her frown slightly.

".Huh, fortunately, the workload has been much less recently.
Judging from the current progress, today may not have to be delayed until three in the morning. "

".I'm basically immune to coffee. Maybe I should ask Lisa if there is any alternative."

He shook his head and put aside his thoughts for the moment.

Thinking of the notice I received yesterday,

Even though the cup of coffee she just drank didn't seem to have any effect, Qin still felt a long-lost sense of relaxation:

——Several large-scale treasure-stealing groups that were wreaking havoc in Mondstadt have been captured in Liyue. No one, including the leader, has managed to escape.

And the Xumi team that easily dealt with them will finally arrive in Mond today.

".These treasure-stealing groups have always been very cautious, and their hiding places are also very secretive, but their methods of committing crimes are so unscrupulous that it is a headache.
Now that the two heroes and the scholars of the Order have dealt with it all in one go, according to the Gunhild family motto, we must give the utmost sincerity in return."

Even though I haven't seen the hero who defeated hundreds of treasure-stealing gangs with just two men,
But Qin knew that the help they provided this time was truly a timely help for Mond.

——Because the gods of Mondstadt have not been active for a long time, and most of the forces in the group are following the Grand Master Falgar on an expedition to the northern border of Teyvat,

In many ways, Mondstadt is now at its most powerless.

Faced with this great opportunity, not only did the Fatui sent by Zhidong unscrupulously exert diplomatic pressure,

Even criminals who could not survive in other countries fled to this "city of freedom".

Since Qin took over the position of acting leader, apart from solving various troubles for the people, she has been worrying about related issues most of the time.

"."

"Although Mondstadt is a city of freedom, unlimited laxity will only bring chaos and hesitation.

As a member of the Gunnhild family who inherited the name of "Dandelion Knight", I must do better."

Sighing slightly,

Under the soft golden hair, the pair of blue eyes as clear as lake water blinked a little tiredly.

Looking out the window towards the sunshine,
But suddenly I found in the reflection of the glass that my hair, which I had tied up before, seemed to be a little loose due to long hours of work.

"."

Reach your hand behind your head and remove the hair tie.

After making sure that there was no one around, Qin skillfully put the removed hairband in her mouth and tied her long golden hair into a simple high ponytail again.

shook his head,

I had an important meeting coming up, so I couldn't do it if there were any flaws on my appearance.

Qin resisted the deep feeling of fatigue from the bottom of her heart and decided to tidy up her appearance in front of the mirror.

"squeak--"

With a slight sound, he slightly pulled open the seat behind him.
After working all night, the agent finally decided to get up from the desk and go to the mirror on the left.

".Speaking of which, Barbara seemed to have reminded me to take care of my health last time.
Let’s be busy for the last period of time, and wait for the Fatui and the Treasure Thieves to arrive.”

"——Dong dong dong"

The thoughts in my mind have not yet been resolved, and the action of standing up has only just been completed.
I just heard a knock on the door.
With a sudden feeling of dizziness coming over me,
After a soft "click" sound, the acting team leader, who had not slept for a long time, finally got the rest he deserved in an unexpected way.
