In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

"A young Knight of Favonius, weary from his journey, has arrived at the Temple of Favonius. What a rare guest!"

"Eh! The bard in green, could it be... you're Wendy? Ha, I was just wondering how to find you!"

"So they came looking for someone to sing for money? How did they end up at the Thousand Winds Temple?"

"I feel I should go to the Angel's Gift."

Paimon and the Traveler both made a joke.

"Blonde hair, white hair, then you must be the honorary knights and Paimon that the Grand Master often talks about."

Let me introduce myself. I am Lorne, the vice-captain of the fifth squad of the Knights of Favonius Expeditionary Force. Nice to meet you.

"Oh! A knight from the expeditionary force? No wonder I feel like I've never seen you in Mondstadt before. No, I haven't seen you in Nordkalley either."

"Probably because when the Wild Hunt was still rampant, I was used to fighting alone outside and didn't go back to the camp much."

They calmed down a bit after that, and I was transferred back to Mondstadt. Thanks to that, I missed out on so many big events.

"No wonder I didn't see you when we were dealing with the Doctor. What was Falgar doing sending you back?"

"Could it be... another messenger?"

"Hmm! Sending letters! To the Knights of Favonius, the Church of Favonius, and the Dawn Winery, about a dozen in total."

"How many times has he sent someone to deliver messages? Mika, Ineff, Lorne, this is enough to fill a book."

Next time I see him, I'll definitely give him a nickname, like "The Letter Writer."

"They're quite similar to street performers."

"Hehe, poetry and letters are the earliest forms of expressing longing through writing, so singing and writing letters should both be considered elegant terms."

"Is that another interpretation? Do we need to change two more nicknames?"

Upon seeing the scene in the sky, Zhong Li couldn't help but smile.

"Is that guy in the green shirt in Zhongli someone you know?"

"He is Barbatos, the wind god of Mondstadt. We are both among the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm, and our relationship is fairly good."

"That wind god, like you, has transformed into a mortal and is now walking among humans."

On Columbia and Sandone's side, Sandone said, "That knight named Lorne seems to have lied, or at least concealed some things."

Rosalind looked at Wendy in the sky, her feelings quite complicated.

She knew very well that she shouldn't blame Wendy for Rustan's death, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to go on living without finding someone to rely on.

"Rosalyn, perhaps you and he will have a chance to meet again."

Arecino then said to Rosalyn, who smiled and said, "I hope so."

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent, a new handsome young man has appeared, and the most excited one is naturally Shui Yue'er.

"Another cool and handsome young man, he's my type too."

"Stop daydreaming. This knight named Lorne looks like someone you shouldn't mess with."

"How did you figure that out? I didn't see it at all!"

"It's simple, because you've been swooning over guys the whole time."

"Hmph, I don't believe you. This cool young man can't be a bad guy."

"Nobody said he was a bad guy, but he's definitely not a good person in the traditional sense. Should we take a gamble?"

"Let's gamble, who's afraid of who?"

Back on the screen, Wendy steered the conversation back to Lorne.

"Since this young man came to the Thousand Winds Temple to find me, he must have a letter to give me."

"Yes, that's what the Grand Master said: 'This letter is to be delivered to a bard in green, whose current name is probably Wendy?'"

"As for the address? Should we ask around in Mondstadt? Or maybe we should try our luck at the Temple of the Thousand Winds?"

Considering there are sandbags here, and well, the ruins guards offer a good chance to stretch my muscles, I came here first thing after returning to Mondstadt.

"Falgar is still as carefree as ever. Luckily, we're nearby."

"How was it? What did the letter say?"

Wendy had already finished reading the letter.

"Oh, this time he also asked you to remember to write back."

"It didn't say anything special, just some casual conversation among drinking buddies. But I'll have to think carefully about how to reply this time."

Didn't Falgar also write letters to other people? Sir messenger, perhaps you should return to Mondstadt first.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm planning. I hope the way back won't be much different from before the expedition."

"Then could we ask the honorary knights of Mondstadt to help guide the returning wanderers? I imagine there are many of your old friends among the recipients of this letter."

"It works..."

"Okay, it's been a while since I've done any guidance work."

"Thank you very much, Knight of Honor, Guide."

The Traveler and Paimon brought Lorne back to Mondstadt, clearly Wendy had deliberately sent them away.

The letter that Falgar wrote to him was certainly not just casual gossip between drinking buddies.

"Abyss! Wild Hunt! Andrius, return safely, Falgar."

The scene suddenly shifts to Falgar.

"Achoo! Who's calling my name? Could it be that my secret stash of money hidden in the office has been discovered? That's bad."

"Now is not the time for the commander to be distracted."

"Watch out, the enemy is coming."

"Just some insignificant remnants, they'll never amount to anything. This expedition is coming to an end. Let's finish off the last target. And then... let's return in triumph together."

Falgar, wielding two greatswords, annihilated the Wild Hunt as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Without the rule of the Moon Hunters, is all that's left just the purest impulse to destroy?"

"If the Wild Hunt is reduced to this level of strength, then the Lamplighters of Nordcale should be able to handle it."

Falgar thought to himself, "Indeed, what I should be wary of now is..."

"Commander, based on the information from the Lamplighter and previous investigations... one of the suspected targets should be just ahead."

"Alright! Leave the rest to me as usual. You all continue to stand guard here."

"Yes, Commander!"

Next, Grand Master Falgar walked forward alone and soon came upon a pack of wolf-shaped ghosts.

"We meet again, Andrius."

Then some strange sounds rang out.

"So, you came back from Mondstadt? Don't you want to see what it's like there now?"

"I'm planning to go there, could you be my guide?"

Upon hearing this voice, Falga thought to himself, "Is this an echo from a thousand years ago?"

Falga followed the wolf spirit until it stopped.

"So far, everything is normal. I hope I'm just overthinking it. Besides here, there are two other places... Will things go smoothly there too?"

"It's your turn, buddy..."

Falgar took out a blue greatsword and planted it in the ground.
