I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

Feeling intense pain in their faces, the blond fools completely erupted.

"You bastards! You all have to die! You all have to die! Attack!"

At the command of the blond fool gang, a group of lackeys immediately and slowly pressed forward, baring their teeth and claws.

Xiang Feng turned to the other special forces members behind him and said, "You guys protect Commander Yi, I'll take care of these guys."

After saying that, Xiang Feng cracked his knuckles, grinned at the group of fools, and said, "You guys, have you ever heard of military boxing?"

"Military boxing?"

The Fools looked completely bewildered. What was that?

Before the others could react, Xiang Feng suddenly made his move.

The first to feel the threat was a member of the Fools' Guild located to Xiang Feng's right. From the moment Xiang Feng asked them a question to the moment he attacked, only a second had passed. In that short time, there was no time to react. By the time he realized that Xiang Feng's first target was him, Xiang Feng's fist was already heading straight for his face. He didn't have time to make any move and could only instinctively shrank his head. But the only effect of doing so was to shift the point of impact from his nose to his eyes. With a scream, the Fool was punched so hard that he was sent flying backward and fell to the ground unconscious.

Having landed a successful blow, Xiang Feng didn't pause and turned to charge at the second person.

This time, the fool finally had time to react. Facing Xiang Feng's punch that was still aimed at his face, he dodged it by tilting his head at the last second, and then wrapped his arms around Xiang Feng's arms, determined to trap his hands in his embrace.

Seeing this, the other fools immediately flanked them from behind.

Xiang Feng sneered, lowered his body slightly, and planted a firm horse stance. Then, with a sudden burst of power from his waist, the fool who was clinging to Xiang Feng's arm was swung around like a stick while he was still dumbfounded. He slammed the fool into the back of the group who were preparing to launch a sneak attack. Before they could even understand what was happening, they were hit by their flying teammate and lay on the ground groaning in pain.

From the start to the end of the battle, it lasted only a few seconds. The difference in strength between the two sides was enormous. Without elemental power, it was like an egg hitting titanium alloy when these ragtag Fools fought against a battle-hardened special forces king like Xiang Feng.

After witnessing this one-sided beating with no suspense, the yellow-haired fools were completely intimidated. Watching Xiang Feng approach, they covered their noses and slowly retreated.

"No... don't come any closer! I'm from the Fools... our Executor is arriving today, you bunch of ungrateful people..."

Xiang Feng clenched his fist and sneered, "Whether you're from the Fools' Clique or the Wise Clique, just by your arrogant attitude today, I know you've done plenty of bullying and harassing. Come on, I'll give you a Xiang-style massage today!"

"Don't come any closer... Don't come any closer... Ah!!!"

Xiang Feng gave the group of yellow-haired fools a "Xiang-style massage," and the yellow-haired man, as a customer, shouted "comfortably," seemingly very "satisfied" with Xiang Feng's service.

Seeing the Fools suffer a setback, many of the Mondstadt residents who had gathered earlier applauded and cheered.

"These fools have been running rampant and acting arrogantly in the city while the Grand Master is away. I've had my eye on them for a long time. Well done!"

"Brother, give him another punch in his right eye, make it symmetrical!"

The large gathering of so many people naturally attracted the attention of the Knights, and soon a patrol of the Knights arrived.

Pushing through the crowd, Rhodes, the captain of the Knights' patrol, entered the scene. Looking at the people lying on the ground, he frowned and asked, "What happened here?"

Seeing someone arrive, Xiang Feng stopped his enthusiastic massage of the blond fools, who, as if seeing a savior, staggered to their feet and ran to Rhodes' side.

"You've come at the right time! Quick, arrest them!"

Seeing the blond-haired man whose mask had been knocked off and whose face was swollen like a pig's head, Rod asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

The blond-haired man grinned, revealing a bruised corner of his mouth, and said, "I am Kado, the captain of the third squad of the Fools. These people are beating up our men here. Aren't you, the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt, going to do nothing about it?"

Upon hearing that they were from the Fools, Rhodes showed a hint of disgust, but due to his duty, he could only walk up to Ivan and the others and say, "You are suspected of disturbing public order. Please come with us."

Ivan remained seated and asked, "Shouldn't both sides in a fight be considered for disturbing public order? Why are we the only ones being arrested and not them?"

Rhodes sighed, his tone somewhat helpless, "They are an envoy from the Kingdom of Winter, and they have diplomatic immunity. We have no right to arrest them."

Rhodes's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding crowd.

"What kind of bullshit immunity is this? Is this the reason for letting the Fools run rampant in Mondstadt?"

"Everyone, everyone..."

Rhodes had no choice but to patiently explain to the crowd, "This is a law that existed when the Seven Kingdoms were founded. Similarly, if our people go to the Winter Kingdom, they also have diplomatic immunity. This is something that cannot be changed."

The crowd fell silent.

Although it's frustrating, regulations are regulations, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Seeing the situation developing in his favor, Huang Mao was extremely pleased, but because his face was already swollen beyond recognition, he couldn't make any expression.

Suddenly, a member of the crowd shouted, "What fight? Did you see a fight? It was clearly these fools who fell down and got like this."

"Yes, there was no fight, but I didn't see any."

"These fools are so careless, how could they fall and get hurt like this?"

"Hey!" the blond-haired guy said, getting a little anxious. "Don't lie through your teeth! My men are lying on the ground, and the injuries on my face are proof!"

After finishing his sentence, the blond-haired man looked at the Knights patrol and said impatiently, "Are you Knights going to arrest anyone or not? Does Mondstadt have no laws?"

Rhodes gritted his teeth. Although he really wanted to go up and punch this bastard a few times, he had to do his duty and could only walk up to Ivan and say, "Please come with us."

After saying that, Rhodes suddenly lowered his voice and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "Our Knights have been unhappy with the Fools for a long time. Don't worry, bringing you back to the Knights is just a formality, so you don't need to be nervous."

Ivan smiled and said, "Thanks for your concern, but there's no need for that."

At that moment, Ivan suddenly pulled out a silver medal from his pocket, engraved with a lifelike oriental dragon soaring into the sky, and Ivan's face instantly turned serious.

"I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Exploration Fleet of the Republic of China and the Chief of the Diplomatic Mission. This is my appointment medal."

"As representatives of a foreign country, I think we should also have diplomatic immunity, right?"

The blond guy was dumbfounded, and Rod was also stunned.

"this......"

Ivan put away his medal: "I want to see the Grand Master of your Knights of Favonius."

"But before that, let us finish our meal first, shall we?"

Chapter 12 The Kingdom Without God

"Thank you."

At the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, in the Grand Master's office, Ivan sat on the sofa, accepted the tea offered by the receptionist, and thanked him.

"Mr. Yi, where did you say you were from before?"

Qin sat opposite Ivan, her face full of confusion.

"I come from the Republic of China."

"The Republic of China?" Qin asked, her face full of doubt.

"Excuse me for asking, but as far as I know, there are seven nations established by seven gods on the continent of Teyvat. Has your nation always been in seclusion? I have never heard of your nation before, and which god does your nation worship?"

Ivan chuckled twice and said, "My country has no gods. Our country is a godless country. We believe in our ancestors and ourselves."

A Godless country?

Qin was taken aback: "Kanria..."

The continent of Teyvat has a recorded history spanning thousands of years. There is only one atheistic nation recorded in history books, and that is the ancient kingdom of Kanria. However, it has been submerged in the vastness of history. Many of the ruins and unknown technological artifacts that exist on the continent of Teyvat today are relics of the ancient kingdom of Kanria.

Could it be that the Kingdom of Kanria did not perish but changed its name and went into hiding, existing until now?

Ivan easily guessed what Qin was thinking and explained, "Master Qin, please don't misunderstand. My country is not the ancient kingdom of Kanria in Teyvat's history. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

Ivan paused for a moment at this point.

"Because we come from another world."

A storm raged in Qin's heart.

Ivan's words meant so much.

A country in another world!

How did they get here? Was there a portal? Why did a nation travel from here? What is their purpose in coming to this world? Is it to wage a war of plunder? What is the economy and culture like in this other world?

For a time, too many questions lingered in Qin's mind, and she even doubted whether Ivan was lying to her.

If a new nation were to suddenly appear on the continent of Teyvat, it would undoubtedly have a tremendous impact on the entire world of Teyvat, an impact that cannot be measured by any data or words.

After calming down a bit, Qin asked what was probably her biggest concern right now.

"What brings you and your nation to the continent of Teyvat?"

Ivan said, "Please rest assured, Commander Jean, we are not a warlike nation. In fact, we are also investigating the specific reasons why the two worlds are connected. We have two purposes in coming to Teyvat: one is to establish good communication with the various nations of Teyvat, and the other is to find an evil force."

Qin frowned and said, "Evil...power?"

Ivan nodded: "Yes, we have detected an unknown evil force. This force will not only cause great damage to Teyvat, but will also devour our world. If we allow this force to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Jean asked, "So you and your team came to Mondstadt to track down this force?"

Ivan sighed and told the truth: "Actually, we don't have many clues about this matter either. We came to Mondstadt hoping to try our luck and see if we could find any trace of this power. If the Knights have any clues about this, we would appreciate it if they could share them."

Jean thought for a moment, then said with a hint of determination, "Regarding this evil force, I don't know if this is a relevant clue... You must have heard about what Mondstadt has been going through recently when you came to the city."

Ivan raised an eyebrow and said, "The Dragon Disaster?"

Jean nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is quite strange. Dvalin is one of the four guardians of Mondstadt, the East Wind Dragon, who has protected Mondstadt for thousands of years. But recently, Dvalin seems to have suddenly changed, and has started to attack Mondstadt City like crazy, which has made the people of Mondstadt very fearful. I was wondering if Dvalin's change could be related to this evil force you mentioned?"

Ivan stroked his chin and began to ponder.

Knowing the game's storyline, he knew that Dvalin's changes were actually related to the Abyss Order, a hidden force on the continent of Teyvat whose purpose was unknown, but whose actions were all aimed at harming the seven kingdoms of Teyvat.

But now, although Ivan has been reborn, no one knows the true nature of the evil force that invaded Earth before his rebirth. Ivan was not lying when he told Jyn that he had no clue about this force. All he can do now is to nip any potential dangers in the bud, and the Abyss Order is within that scope.

"We can help you with this matter concerning Tvalin," Ivan said. "Of course, not for free. We have conditions, but compared to the demands made by the Fools, what we will propose is basically an agreement on the free exchange between our two sides in economic, cultural, and technological fields, which will be absolutely fair and just."

“This…” Qin frowned. “Let me think about it.”

Ivan chuckled and said, "No rush."

Afterwards, Ivan chatted with Qin about their intentions regarding exchanges between the two countries, and then got up to take his leave.

Shortly after Ivan left, Kaiya pushed open the door to the commander's office and saw Jean standing by the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"I have already arranged for Mr. Yi and his family to stay at the guesthouse."

Qin nodded: "Mm."

Kaeya sat down in the chair in front of the desk, picked up a pen and fiddled with it as he said, “What are you worried about? Dvalin has become increasingly violent lately. Their recent attacks on Mondstadt have even caused serious injuries to many people. With the little strength our Knights Order has left, we are completely unable to deal with Dvalin’s invasion. I think accepting Mr. I’s help is a good choice. Besides, they haven’t made any unreasonable demands. It’s better than handing over all the city’s defenses to the Fools.”

"Or are you doubting Mr. Yi's and his team's capabilities?"

Jean did not deny it: "This matter is very complicated. The real ones we need to deal with are Dvalin and the Fatui. The Fatui must have some purpose in going to such lengths to gain control of Mondstadt's defenses. If we accept Mr. I's help, then we will be facing both Dvalin and the Fatui. Do you think Mr. I and the forces behind him can handle it?"

Kaeya raised an eyebrow and said, "That is indeed a problem... So you arranged for Mr. I and the others to stay in the room next to the Fatui?"
