Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"Forget it, there's no need to take meaningless risks."

They fought their battles, and Su Chen didn't care.

"Should I steal the Heart of the Wind God?" the woman hesitated. "If I do, what if you get implicated..."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Just proceed according to your original plan."

Su Chen smiled slightly.

Wendy, that guy, practically wanted to just shove the Heart of God into the lady's hand.

From this perspective, Wendy seems to support Ice God's rebellion.

There are still too many unknowns, so Su Chen doesn't plan to rashly change the course of the plot.

...

Soon after, Su Chen left the stronghold and continued to go to and from get off work at the Knights Order as usual.

Wendy then followed his lead and guided Sparkle to resolve the Dvalin issue.

Want to see the Wind God? Sure, you can see him once you've dealt with the Dragon Calamity.

However, unlike in the game, due to Su Chen's intervention, Qin remained silent about Ying taking the Sky Harp and went with Ying to Star-Picking Cliff to lure out Dvalin.

"Teacher, aren't you going with us?"

In the library, Lisa looked at Su Chen, who had come to freeload tea again, and felt a little worried.

She always felt that things were not that simple.

Their concerns mainly stemmed from the Abyss Order, because according to their investigation, the Abyss Order had been very active recently, and if they wanted to take advantage of the Dragon Plague, they would not allow Jean and Ying to resolve the situation smoothly.

Besides, the two of them alone aren't enough.

Oh right, and add a bard too.

Apart from Su Chen, everyone else in the Knights had their own matters to attend to. If Su Chen joined, Lisa believed that things would definitely be resolved satisfactorily.

Su Chen smiled faintly: "No rush, everything is preordained."

The next day, the attempt to appease Tvalin failed.

Even though Su Chen had informed Diluc in advance to be careful of the Abyss Order's appearance, and the latter followed Jean and the others to Starcliff, the Abyss Order still beat them to it, using a curse to provoke Dvalin and take him away.

"Ugh~ Ugh~ Those Abyss Cults are driving me crazy!"

Inside the office.

Paimon stomped his feet in anger, recalling the Abyss Mage's sarcastic remarks before leaving.

“At least we know that the Abyss Order is behind all this.” Jean was not discouraged. “Dvalin has been corrupted by toxins. If we want to save it, we must purify the toxins in its body.”

After speaking, Qin looked at Ying.

During this mission, they collected Dvalin's tears, and the turbid power contained within them was inexplicably purified by Luminous. Although they didn't know the reason, it seemed that only Luminous could save Dvalin at the moment.

"Hmph~ There's nothing to say, let's just go to the Wind Dragon Ruins." Diluc, who had made an exception to come to the Knights, crossed his arms and looked cool.

His suggestion was approved by the old drunkard Wendy.

It's no longer realistic to summon Dvalin again. Now that we know the solution, the best option is to resolve the issue as soon as possible before the Abyss Order takes any further action.

"Su Chen, are you going?"

Qin suddenly asked.

For some reason, she always felt very at ease whenever Su Chen was with her.

Su Chen waved his hand: "I'll pass. I'm just an assistant who doesn't know anything. There are monsters everywhere outside. Going there would only cause trouble."

Ying, Paimon: →_→

You're the big shot, do we need to expose you?

In order to befriend the big shot, the two wisely chose to remain silent.

Diluc then made an unintelligible hum.

“That’s true…then I’ll leave the Knights’ affairs to you.” The simple-minded Commander Jean said.

Soon, the team tasked with rescuing the wind dragon set off from Mondstadt once again.

Su Chen saw them off with great pleasure and was about to go home to relax when he saw Arya holding a small box in her hands as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard.

"It was left by the bard who joined the Earthfire. He said he wanted to give it to the leader of the Earthfire in the hope that he would be allowed to join soon."

"Membership fee?"

Su Chen's lips twitched.

When did this kind of rule come into being for underground fire?

"What's in here?"

"I don't know. Elwin didn't open it, but the bard said it was a family heirloom passed down for thousands of years."

"???"

Filled with curiosity, Su Chen opened the box.

...

Chapter 35 Siege

Outside Mondstadt.

The intersection of the Temple of a Thousand Winds and the Land of Wind.

A small camp.

Several members of the knightly order sat around a campfire, waiting for lunch.

"The damn storm has finally stopped. Hopefully, the dragon scourge will end soon too."

"It'll be soon. When I came to take over yesterday, I heard them say that Director Qin was already handling this matter."

"Once the dragon calamity is over, everything will be back to normal... Hmm, I'll take my daughter out for a stroll, to Clear Spring Town, to Star-Picking Cliff, to the beach."

"Your daughter probably doesn't really want to go with you."

"Get lost! My daughter is the most attached to me."

"Ha ha!"

A relaxed and cheerful atmosphere filled the air.

The storm ended, which invigorated all the members of the Knights.

After half a year, they have finally seen hope.

One of them took out a photo he had tucked into his arms and proudly waved it: "See this? My lovely daughter."

The photo shows a girl who is about twelve or thirteen years old. She has pigtails, is wearing a dress, and has a particularly beautiful smile.

Those around them were filled with envy.

These people are all quite young, only two of them are married, and only one of them has a child.

As the most senior member, squad leader Caesar said, "Don't be envious. Once things are over, you won't be so busy anymore. Then you can spend more time finding a girl you like and getting to know her properly."

"Sigh~ It's easier said than done. My family introduced me to two people a while ago, but as soon as they heard I was from the Knights, they immediately became unhappy."

"What happened to the Knights?"

"People are worried about the danger. What if they get married and have children, and then encounter danger during a mission..."

The others immediately fell silent.

The Knights of Favonius sound prestigious, but most people wouldn't want that kind of prestige to befall their own family.

After all, the danger of fighting monsters is too great, especially in the last six months when the casualty rate of the Knights has risen sharply, to the point that people have the impression that if you join the Knights, you will either die or be injured.

"It's not that exaggerated. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine."

Caesar waved his hand dismissively, saying, "There is danger, how could there be no danger in our line of work? But the more danger we face, the less danger our people face. Isn't that the very reason for the Knights of Favonius' existence? Besides, it's only dangerous for this period of time. Once it's over and the Grand Master and the others return, who will dare to cause trouble in Mondstadt?"

It should be noted that the Grand Master took away three-quarters of the Knights' elite troops.

If these people were all here, no monsters or Abyss Orders could cause any trouble.

Even the Fatui, though powerful, are no match for the local strongmen; they'll be no different in Mondstadt.

"Yes, it will be fine once the commander and the others return."

"And now the Dragon Disaster is almost over."

The knights all laughed.

"Come on, let's eat. After we finish, let's get back to work!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a voice came from the outpost.

"Captain, there seems to be some movement over there!"

Caesar turned his head, raised an eyebrow, gestured for the others to take their weapons, and then climbed up the watchtower himself.

"where?"

“Over there,” the knight on lookout pointed to a dense forest in the distance. “I saw something there just now, but it’s gone now.”

The forest was too dense to see clearly at first glance, but Caesar immediately sensed that something was amiss.

"Huh? What's that sound?"

Thump, thump, thump...

It sounded like the vibrations caused by some large creature stomping on the ground.

Just as the knight on guard duty was wondering what was going on, Caesar's expression suddenly changed, and he pulled him and jumped out of the watchtower.

"Run away!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

The sound of missiles cutting through the air filled the air. The moment the two jumped off the watchtower, a huge roar exploded behind them, and a strong gust of hot air hit them, causing them to lose their balance uncontrollably in mid-air.
