Ningguang reviewed the reports submitted by Wenchen and Anxin again, and combined them with Beidou's description.

She felt that Haiji Island might be working on something very new.

Others might not realize it, but she had already acquired the relevant knowledge from Hideo Yamagami.

Although it's not comprehensive, it has given her a lot of inspiration. Currently, using it as a guide, she is doing some things much more easily than before.

Especially when it comes to improving the living standards of the people of Liyue, she can now see clearly the many obstacles that existed before, and she has already found solutions to some of them.

Regardless, this is ultimately beneficial to Liyue.

"Speaking of which, besides that generator, I also brought back a bunch of electrical appliances, light bulbs, and all sorts of lighting tools. And you..."

Beidou looked around and glanced at Ningguang's office.

"They're so magnificent, and they even have magical lighting. I doubt we'll need them. Should we install them where they're needed more? Like at the Jade Capital Terrace? Or maybe we could just turn them into streetlights or something?"

"Yujingtai, the people there are busy most of the time and need lighting at night. And it just so happens that the power lines there have already been upgraded."

"This is your job. The ownership belongs to the mountain, so you'll have to negotiate with them. I'm just a deliveryman. Remember to hurry up and unload that generator from my boat and set it up properly."

"Don't worry, I'll go find Keqing and make the arrangements in a bit."

Chapter 119 Mondstadt is a deep and complex place; you can't control it.

While Hideo Yamagami was busy settling personnel and equipment in Liyue Harbor, Kawaki Hokkaido had already set off from Liyue Harbor with his men, heading towards Mondstadt, as required.

I took a look at the construction progress of Dihuazhou along the way.

To be fair, Liyue's mobilization capabilities are indeed very strong.

With a large number of construction workers, and especially a few holders of the Eye of God, the construction progress on the site was almost unusually fast. In just over two months, buildings could be seen rising from the ground.

It is estimated that it will be ready for use in a while.

The group continued onward, entering Mondstadt and following the main road all the way to Mondstadt city.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any monster attacks along the way.

"This is Mondstadt!"

As the group gazed upon the towering walls of Mondstadt and the slowly rotating windmills atop them, they marveled at the unique scenery of this foreign land.

"May the wind god protect you—hello, strangers, please show your identification."

The knights standing guard at the city gate stopped them on their way to Beihaichuan, bowed, and asked for their identification.

Locals or ordinary business people generally don't check documents.

Only in groups like the one on the Beihai River, where a large group of people, some of whom have a distinct military bearing, appear suspicious, will they proactively ask for identification to verify their identities.

Admiral Beihaichuan handed over the documents issued by the Liyue government.

"Huh?" The knight on guard was taken aback when he saw the contents of the badge. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked at it again.

"Is there a problem?" Hokkaido asked, puzzled.

"No, there's no problem. Grand Master Falga has been waiting for you for quite some time. Please come in!"

Beihaichuan and the others in the group exchanged glances.

Unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable.

"Did the Liyue Embassy contact you in advance?"

"I don't know about that. I just received a message from the Grand Master instructing us to keep an eye on you all and be prepared to receive you. If you have any questions, you can ask the Grand Master directly. You can go directly to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius to meet the Grand Master now. He said he is ready to see you anytime."

"Okay, thank you."

"Let the wind lead you!"

The brief conversation with the knights guarding the gates of Mondstadt came to an end.

From the knight's words, they learned that the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius was waiting for them. They didn't want to waste time wandering around Mondstadt, so they followed the knight's directions at the city gate and led their men directly to the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

After explaining their purpose and showing their credentials to the knights guarding the headquarters of the Order, they were ushered inside.

"Please wait a moment. Grand Master Falga is dealing with urgent business and will come to meet you shortly."

"Thank you."

Hokukai Kawakami nodded to the knight who served the tea in gratitude.

Before long, a burly man entered the room.

"Hello, I am Falga."

"Hello, Your Excellency Commander."

May the wind god protect you.

After exchanging pleasantries and greetings, the two sides took their seats and got down to business.

“We have actually been paying attention to your side for a long time. Your actions in Liyue are quite significant. We are already aware of your thoughts. However, I would still like to hear your specific interests.”

During the conversation, Falgar explained to Hokukawa why he was keeping an eye on Hokukawa and his group, and even specifically instructed his knights to keep an eye on them.

Hokukai Kawakami quickly organized his thoughts and said, "As everyone knows, our Kaiji Island is still in the midst of war, and the situation in Inazuma remains volatile. Therefore, we urgently need to gather all available resources to strengthen ourselves."

"Our decision to establish our research institute in Mondstadt was made after careful consideration. Mondstadt values ​​freedom, and this enlightened atmosphere is very conducive to the development of science and technology. In addition, we have heard that Mondstadt has outstanding achievements in explosives and alchemy, and we look forward to cooperating with you."

“Explosives and alchemy?” Falgar pondered.

It seems they've taken a liking to Mondstadt's two signature skills.

But this is good news.

Mond now has clear leverage; they are now equals, and he has more confidence when discussing cooperation.

only……

"It's really unfortunate. Our chief demolition expert, Ms. Alice, recently went on another trip to another world. Even if she's still in Mondstadt, given Ms. Alice's free-spirited personality, she probably wouldn't be able to accept some of the restrictions. So, we may have to disappoint you."

"Is this so..."

Hokusai's expression and tone were full of regret.

But in reality, what Hokukai Kawakami truly felt was:

[Wasn't the demolition expert in Mondstadt supposed to be the Spark Knight? This information doesn't make sense. Who is Aerith? The author of that "Guide"? And what's with this "traveling to another world" thing? Is it that easy to go to another world?]

Beihaichuan had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

The waters in Mondstadt seem a bit deep.

It seems that Mond is far more complex than he appears on the surface.

"We've heard that Mondstadt also has a Spark Knight who seems to be equally skilled in explosive techniques."

Oh! You mean Claire?

Falga was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.

That's right, even though Klee is young, she has perfectly inherited Iris's talent in explosions and is also an excellent demolition expert.

He had always thought of Klee as a child, and coupled with Iris's "glorious achievements," he had overlooked Klee's existence.

"Kori?"

The pronunciation of the word "small" was emphasized on the Beihai River, which is puzzling.

“Klee is Lady Iris’s daughter. She’s still very young, but her explosive talent is truly outstanding. Before Lady Iris went on her trip, she entrusted Klee to the acting Grand Master of our Knights of Favonius, Jyn Gunnhildr, as her guardian,” Falgar explained.

"If you want Klee to assist in the explosives research, then you have to find a way to get Klee's and Jean's consent."

Hokukai Kawakami was taken aback.

The Spark Knight, whom he was focusing on, was still a child?

Is a guardian still required?

However, since Grand Master Falgar has already acknowledged his outstanding talent for explosive attacks... then there shouldn't be any major problems, right?

He needed to get their consent before he could do some serious research.

“I understand.” Hokusai Kawakami nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, “But since you are the Grand Commander, why do you also have the position of Acting Commander?”

In response, Falgar gave a simple, honest smile.

“There’s been a problem far away. I need to take some men on an expedition. It’s expected that only one-fifth of the Knights of Favonius will remain in Mondstadt. Jean will act as the acting Grand Master and handle all matters in Mondstadt.”

Chapter 120 Mond's Interests

What problem requires more than four-fifths of the Knights of Favonius to be led by the renowned Knight of the North, Falgar, in person?

Hokukai Kawakami raised this question with Falga.

Falgar simply smiled and said, "It's just a historical issue, it's not important."

Four-fifths of the Knights of Favonius were elite forces handpicked, along with Falgar.

It can be said that this is almost all of Mondstadt's military force, at least in the public eye.

A problem that requires such a massive amount of resources to solve is clearly not a small one.

It certainly doesn't fit the description of "unimportant".

Clearly, Falga was unwilling to discuss this further with Hokukai Kawakami.

Hokkaido, being quite sensible, didn't ask any further questions, while Falga took the initiative to change the subject and continue discussing bilateral cooperation.

“I can help you contact Jean and have her bring Klee over so you can meet and discuss things. It’s perfect timing, since I’m not going to be involved in Mondstadt anymore, and you’ll be dealing with Jean from now on.”

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Commander."

"No problem, it's not troublesome at all."

Falgar walked to the door and gave a few instructions to the Knights of Favonius on guard.

The Favonius Knight on guard nodded and immediately ran off, presumably to contact the acting Grand Master, Jean.

"Let's talk about alchemy again."
