I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

The captain seemed to have tacitly agreed that they should escape. Noelle opened her mouth to explain herself more clearly, but the captain didn't give her a chance.

"By the way, Lord Yuheng, are you here to see Captain Qin?" the deputy captain asked Keqing again.

Keqing shook her head. "I came here mainly to check the seal. I heard that something unusual happened after the thunderstorm, so I wanted to come and see if the seal was affected. This is related to the safety of Liyue and Mondstadt, you should understand."

"I understand, I understand." The deputy captain looked as if he understood everything.

Then he smiled innocently: "Hehe."

Keqing: "..."

Section 12. Check the Seal

Who doesn’t know the relationship between Liyue Yuheng and Captain Qin?

Just pick someone in Mondstadt, oh no, pick a cat, and ask her who our acting leader should look for if he goes to Liyue?

That cat will definitely say the word "Keqing".

The same goes for Keqing coming to Mondstadt.

"Lord Yuheng is a little late here. If you come in the morning, you might be able to see Captain Qin." said the deputy captain.

Then, seeing Keqing's puzzled look, he continued, "What I meant was that Captain Jean was still in the camp this morning."

"Lord Yuheng, why don't you wait in the camp? I estimate that Captain Qin and her team should be back from their investigation the day after tomorrow. I also sent someone to deliver supplies to Captain Qin's team not long ago. He should be back tonight with news that Captain Qin is safe."

Keqing shook her head.

"That's right." The vice-captain seemed to understand again. He thought for a moment and said, "If you go over now, you might be able to catch up. After all, what did Li Yue say?"

"Newlyweds are in love, like looking at each other, what do they wear when they look at each other, what do they wear in autumn?"

The deputy captain stood there stroking his stubbled chin and muttering to himself for a long time but couldn't come up with the correct answer.

Noelle was a little ashamed. She really wanted to explain to Lady Keqing that the average cultural level of Mondstadt people was definitely not at this level.

However, Keqing didn't seem to care.

After Vice Captain Qiu was done, she asked the Vice Captain to sign her pass so that she could get closer to the Wind Dragon Ruins to check out the situation.

Not long after Keqing and Noelle set off, the vice-captain who was dozing off at the table suddenly opened his eyes.

"Well, that's bad. Why didn't I send someone to go with her? If anything happens to her, my position as vice-captain will be over."

Just as the deputy captain was regretting, a messenger suddenly walked in from outside the tent.

"Report to the vice-captain, there are three candidate knights from the periphery who want to report important matters."

"Alternate knights? Aren't they in charge of logistics? Let's talk about it later. I'm busy."

"But...some of them were injured, and they also said...that they encountered the guards of the ruins."

Guardian of the ruins?

The deputy captain suddenly remembered what Noel had said before. That was perfect. Let him hear the details first.

Then transfer two more teams and make a plan to eliminate the ruins guards. Eliminating the ruins guards is a great military achievement.

However, when the deputy captain called the three people, what he heard was a little different from what he expected.

"What? You said the ruins guards have been eliminated?"

"Was he stoned to death by the three of you?"

"No? It was a girl with purple hair and twin ponytails who defeated you, and she also killed the ruins guard instantly?"

"Second ruins guard? How dare you say that? And a twin-tailed girl? This is the Wind Dragon Ruins. I would believe you more if you said a twin-tailed Hilichurl."

"Wait! The purple-haired girl with twin ponytails... can't it be..."

……

……

ten minutes later.

After watching Noelle kill a slime with one knife, Keqing turned around and continued walking towards the huge black wind wall.

After walking a few steps along the edge of the wind wall, she saw a stone pillar.

The pillars are roughly trapezoidal in shape, with unmelted ice at the base to stabilize their shape, and amber-like gems inlaid at the top of the stone pillars, shining brightly.

It was the light emitted by the Yellow Stone that suppressed the black gale.

There are at least a dozen pillars like this just at the edge of the wind wall where they are. Together, they block the black wind wall within the area of the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Noelle trotted over to Keqing and watched her half-kneeling and carefully examining the stone pillar. He did not dare to speak for fear of disturbing her.

"In good condition."

After reaching out to check the base and the sealing yellowstone, Keqing nodded slightly.

"Is this... the seal?" Noel said, looking at the stone pillar.

It was her first time to be so close to the wind wall of the Wind Dragon Ruins, and of course, her first time to see the seal.

"Legend has it that this was created thirteen years ago by the God of Liyue and the Grand Master of Mondstadt."

"Yeah." Keqing nodded.

Although she was still a kid at that time, after officially becoming a Seven Star, she also saw many documents recording the situation at that time.

It is precisely because the more detailed the understanding, the more I feel that this seal must be maintained and the Wind Dragon Ruins must not be broken again.

Seeing Keqing stand up and walk towards another sealing pillar, Noelle followed and asked, "Sir, do you want to check all the pillars around?"

Keqing shook her head: "Not around here."

"That's all."

"Eh……"

As the ruins of old Mondstadt, the Wind Dragon Ruins are extremely large. Lady Keqing actually has to walk around the Wind Dragon Ruins alone and check all the stone pillars.

Well, then wouldn’t it mean I have to stay up all night and keep checking until tomorrow morning?

Obviously, Keqing intended to do this.

Because the engagement between Captain Jean and Lady Keqing had been widely circulated in Mondstadt for more than a decade, Noelle had heard about Lady Keqing a long time ago.

I have heard that she is a person who pursues perfection and is not afraid of hard work. Now that I have seen her in person, Noelle admires her even more.

Lady Keqing’s ability to kill a ruins guard with one strike must be the result of her hard training.

Three hours later, the scorching sun had turned into sunset.

Noelle and Keqing were on a cliff. She looked up at the sunset, then looked at the back of Lady Keqing.

She remembered the small bottle that Lady Keqing had asked her to keep, so she took it out of her bag and poured out a pill.

"Lady Keqing, can you take a rest?"

She hadn't stopped for three hours, repeating the same process: walk to the seal pillar - check to make sure it's intact - walk to the seal pillar.

Looking back at Noelle, Keqing hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Take one for yourself too." Keqing said to Noel after taking the Xiaoqingdan.

"I don't need it anymore..."

Keqing didn't say anything either, just looked at her while chewing.

Noelle, whose scalp was numb from being stared at, could only nod softly: "Okay, okay."

Both of them have abundant elemental energy, and the Xiaoqing Pill has the effect of purely refreshing the mind.

This divine bone-cleansing pill, which was extremely desired by people with poor spiritual roots in their previous lives, has actually become a mint candy.

If someone had seen them spending money like this in their previous life, they would probably have been so angry that they would have vomited blood on the spot.

However, Keqing certainly doesn't care. To her, the rewards from this system are the same as free gifts.

Moreover, for those who practice swordsmanship, being generous with money is just a basic quality.

"Lord Keqing, how about I go find the people from the Knights Templar to help?" Noel said.

Keqing shook her head.

"Oh, that's right. This is a seal. It should be checked by someone who knows about it, right?" Noelle thought for a while and said, "I do know someone, but she should be doing experiments in the city now."

“Anyone can check it.” Keqing said, “As long as you have the Eye of God and can use elemental power, you can check whether it is intact.”

"But the Knights are inefficient. They would rather sleep in the camp and feed the horses than send a few people to take turns guarding the seal. Even if they come to investigate, there will be omissions."

Noelle was caught off guard by the sudden criticism, but what Lady Keqing said was indeed the truth.

Standing up from the grass, Keqing brushed off the grass debris on her clothes: "Okay, let's continue."

Then, at Noelle's request, Keqing taught her how to check the seal.

With Noel's joining, efficiency has improved a lot.

While heading to the next area, the two met a knight from the Knights Templar on the road.

"Eh? Isn't this Noelle? Are you guys checking the seal as well?"

“Also?” Noelle was surprised.

The knight dismounted and nodded, "Yes, I just came back from delivering supplies to the captain, and they were checking the seal."

"Which leader?" Keqing asked.

"Which leader? Who else could it be? Leader Qin."

Chapter 13. Letter from Winter

"Qin?"

Keqing remembered what the deputy captain said before she left, that he had sent a knight to deliver supplies to Jean's team.

I think it's this person.

"Who is this..." The knight always felt that Keqing looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"Lady Keqing, the Yuheng Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue." Noelle introduced.

The knight suddenly realized: "Ah, I remember now, it turned out to be Captain Qin's fiancée!"

"Why do they look so familiar? Purple hair and twin ponytails, exactly the same as the ones I saw when I was playing in the mud as a kid!"

These knights on the front line didn’t know that Keqing came to Mondstadt and broke up her engagement.

So just like the vice-captain, this knight also thought that she was here to see Captain Qin.

"Well, Lady Keqing, just keep going along this road. You should run into Captain Jean and the others in less than ten minutes." The knight turned around and pointed at the road.

"Bumped into him?" Keqing thought the knight meant, "Is your captain Qin returning?"

"Returning?" The knight was not sure. "No, I don't know the details. I only know that when Captain Qin was investigating, he was checking the seals from a long distance away. He checked all the way here and didn't miss any one. He should be heading this way now."

"Captain Qin is also checking the seal?" Noel asked in surprise.

"Yeah, are you guys the same?"

Noelle nodded, then looked at Keqing happily: "Lady Keqing, it seems that Captain Jean thinks the same as us. We just need to go and meet them now."

"Knight, if it's convenient, could I trouble you with something?" Keqing said to the knight.

"Ah? Your Excellency, please speak?"

"Wait here for a while. When Captain Qin comes over, tell her that I have checked the seals at the back."

"Oh, okay, what else?"

"Gone."

The knight was a little confused, is that it?

"Let's go." Keqing said to Noelle.
