"So what does Kaia mean by the legendary wine?"

"Angel's Gift has a tradition of becoming a Mondstadt Legend. You can leave your name and recipe here, and when the time is right, we will put it on the hidden menu."

Diluk explained for them.

"Of course, this tradition is still very young, and only a few legendary cups have been collected so far. However, anyone who grew up in Mondstadt will definitely know the people involved—"

"That suddenly makes people very interested."

Paimon asked with interest.

"Like who are they?"

“For example, the ‘Vanessa’ left by Ms. Frederica for her ancestors, the ‘Alice’ left by a witch who traveled through many worlds for herself, and the ‘Barbatos’ left by a drunkard bard for his ‘old friend’.

These are all well-known characters in Mondstadt, or even in the world.”

"It sounds like they all seem to be of noble status?"

Ying frowned slightly, somewhat concerned about the prefixes of these people.

"No. The reason why legends are legends is not because of their status, but because they all have a life worthy of being called a legend, and are posthumously awarded this status by their successors."

Diluk shook his head and continued.

"If one can be admitted just because of one's noble status, then the legendary wine is nothing more than a vulgar thing stained with fame and power, and I will never let the treasure she left behind be desecrated like this..."

"she?"

"I made a mistake. Anyway, you can trust the authority of the legendary wine, because every legend here can be traced back to its authenticity.

And you, the Honorable Knight... you solved the dragon plague in Mondstadt, so in a way, you are also qualified to leave your name and recipe here."

As he said this, he also asked.

“How about it? Do you want to give it a try? Leave your name and recipe here. Maybe one day, someone will order a glass of wine named after you and talk about the legendary things you have done.”

I have to say, Ying was indeed moved.

Chapter of Waves - Scene 1: The Waves Never Return to the Sea (Part 3)

In the end, Ying followed Master Diluk's instructions and left her name and recipe here.

But until the time is right, this legendary wine will not be put on the shelves.

But Diluk never told her what the so-called right time was, and just let her continue to embellish her life with great and magnificent adventures during this period.

The bigger the legend, the better, and the more stories, the better! That way people won't run out of things to talk about after a few drinks.

During the conversation with Master Diluk, Paimon accidentally let it slip that they were going to look for Eula.

Just when Ying thought he would feel disappointed, something unexpected happened.

Master Diluk did not show any reaction of disgust or disdain, but instead his eyes were filled with a hint of nostalgia.

Following his line of sight, Ying also saw a rectangular shelf placed under the wine rack, on which was placed a slightly old broom with burnt marks.

Why is this broom placed here specifically?

Generally speaking, this kind of thing will have some meaning.

Ying couldn't help but think of what Amber had said not long ago about her friend.

she asked tentatively.

"Oh, by the way. Master Diluk, can I ask you something?"

"what?"

"About what Amber said about that demon friend who was traveling."

"…What do you want to know about her?"

Master Diluk's expression changed a little. There was a silent melancholy and a hint of unwilling anger in it. It was so contradictory... so complicated.

However, his tone remained steady and restrained.

His behavior, to a certain extent, confirmed some of Ying's guesses, but in order to avoid misunderstandings, she tried her best to pretend to be unaware.

"Well... you said you wanted to know, but I don't know her very well. Can you tell me her name first?"

"Youya. Youya Lawrence, this is the name that carries everything about her—"

When the girl's name was read, even Diluk no longer maintained that dull expression, but was filled with tenderness and nostalgia.

If those passionate girls who are in love with him saw this, they would surely be extremely jealous.

After all, everyone in Mondstadt knows that Master Diluk values ​​his career more than beauties.

However, no one knows the reason behind this. The only thing that makes people think about it is the motto "Don't forget the beginning and the end" left by Diluk after he inherited the Dawn Winery.

"Youya, Youya Lawrence, it's a girl's name!"

Paimon murmured a few words, and then exclaimed as if he had just realized what was happening.

"Oh, that's not right, Lawrence? Isn't this the family of that villain's descendants?"

Even Ying was a little surprised that Amber's friend came from such a family.

Although Amber does have a good personality, young children are always easily influenced by their parents' opinions. What kind of friends are better for you? Don't play with those children with bad reputations. That's the most important thing.

"If you knew her or Lawrence, you wouldn't make such a superficial judgment."

Master Diluk was not dissatisfied with Paimon's exaggerated reaction, but just replied calmly.

"Eh?" Before Paimon could react, Master Diluk pretended to see him off.

But before letting them leave, he still gave them a warning.

"After meeting Eula Lawrence. I don't recommend you treat her with that attitude, especially bringing up the topic of sinners and Lawrence in front of her."

Knowing that Paimon had said something wrong and that she should take part of the responsibility, Ying apologized honestly.

Afterwards, the two people who left the angel's gift were both thoughtful.

"Ying, why do you think Master Diluk's expression suddenly changed?"

Paimon looked a little troubled.

"You were the one who said that, which was very offensive."

Ying glared at her unhappily, which made Paimon's face turn bitter and he stuck out his tongue.

"Anyway, we should go find Eula Lawrence next. Don't say the wrong thing again. I always feel that... Youya Lawrence has some connection with the guerrilla knight captain we are looking for."

"Um...I'm sorry, I won't say any more!"

Paimon waved his hands repeatedly, and then said, "Besides, since they both have the last name Lawrence, could they be sisters or something like that?"

"Not sure. I'll ask them when the time comes. Maybe there will be some new clues."

Ying shook her head and did not directly express her guess.

……

Before going to Lookout Mountain, the two asked everyone in Mondstadt about their opinions on Lawrence.

This further led to two different opinions. One side praised Eula's achievements, while the other side worried that Lawrence would take the opportunity to revive.

The former, because of the public recognition by the band leader Jean and the influence of Amber's help in promoting her achievements, everyone basically recognized Eula and would not take the initiative to mention her last name.

It seems that she is actively being discussed separately from the surname Lawrence.

The latter are mostly older people who have more deep-rooted prejudices against Lawrence, and their words often show contempt for the Lawrence family.

Of course, most of this ends up being a warning to travelers not to get involved with them.

After getting this information, Ying also roughly understood why Captain Qin and Master Diluk both had such strange reactions.

I was also looking forward to my upcoming meeting with Eula Lawrence.

When they arrived at Lookout Mountain, the guerrilla knights had already finished their patrol, perhaps because of the delay on the way, and were preparing to return to Mondstadt with a group of Fatui who had obviously just been defeated.

The leader had a head of beautiful, wavy short hair with a headband tied on top of his head, dividing his hair into two strands, revealing his delicate face that was both heroic and feminine. On his high chest was a tie with a seal engraved on it.

An elaborately decorated ice-blue Eye of God is pinned below the right collar like a badge.

The moment the traveler appeared, his beautiful eyes, as if in the afterglow of the evening, met her gaze.

"Hmm? You are the honorary knight who has become famous recently, right?"

She asked in a very familiar manner.

"Ah, it's not as big as everyone says. I just did a small thing. I couldn't have done it alone without the help of others."

Ying is modest.

"Oh? That's interesting..." Eula narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the blonde traveler in front of her. He seemed to have a good impression of her.

Then, he quickly asked, "No wonder Qin asked you to come to me. It seems that she had made plans a long time ago. But it really makes me feel uncomfortable to think the same as her."

"you also?"

"Of course. Just like what she was thinking when she sent you here, I also thought that you would come to me. After all, you are famous enough, but you do not rely on any power in Mondstadt, and you will not be bound by the empty title of Honorary Knight."

Eula spread her hands and then said.

"The investigation is complete. These guys behind me are the real culprits who intend to cause trouble in Mondstadt and spread rumors. Now we are planning to return to the city to hand over the mission. As for you...if you don't mind, come with me."

After that, she also explained the specific matters to the deputy captain, and the other party nodded seriously and carried out Eula's orders without any objection.

It can be seen that everyone in the Guerrilla Knights trusts Eula, even to the point of fanaticism. It is not easy to cultivate such an atmosphere.

For some reason, Ying cared more about the story between Youla and Nayouya.

On the way, she also tried to ask indirectly.

Unexpectedly, Eula told them directly.

"Yuya is my sister... a dear, dear relative I love very much. To me, there is no one more important than her in this world."

Her love was so deep that her tone seemed so lonely.

Seeing this, Paimon also comforted her and said, "It's okay, Eula. Sooner or later, Miss Yuya will come back, and then you can be reunited again. I think Amber thinks so too."

"Come back?" Eula's expression froze for a moment, and then she smiled with relief: "Yes. I think. That day won't be too far away. After all, the Windblume Festival is coming soon..."

Chapter of Waves - Scene 1: The Waves Never Return to the Sea (IV)

"Wind Flower Festival? Ah, I think I heard Keri mention it. It seems to be a festival that she is always locked up for."

Paimon touched his little head and recalled something.

"After all, it's a festival that only comes once a year. In order to prevent the child from causing big problems that are difficult to deal with, Qin usually grounds her during the day and then makes up for it with a good meal at night."

Eula did not comment on this.

"But speaking of the investigation..."

Although Ying does care about the upcoming Wind Flower Festival and the "return" of Yuya Lawrence, it would be better to make things clear about work at the moment.

"Hmm? Didn't Jean mention to you that Lawrence's people were accused of having close contacts with the Fatui?"

Eula said without hesitation.

"And if I want to prove my innocence, I naturally need to produce evidence. Those Fatui are my evidence—"

“Well… I know that Eula was wrongly accused, but should I say that this indifferent attitude is broad-mindedness, or that she doesn’t take the Fatui seriously at all…”

Since they are suspected of colluding with the Fatui, they might as well arrest the "partner" directly, and the rumors will naturally be self-defeating.

Not to mention, apart from the people, all other evidence has already been secretly gathered by the guerrilla knights, just waiting to be submitted.

"Eula seems to be very good at handling this kind of thing?"

After Ying realized that the commission did not seem to have anything to do with her, she said with some emotion.

"No, it's just that I've dealt with a lot of things like this before. I have some experiences that are 'not worth telling to outsiders'..."

Eula smiled at herself.

"Besides, this incident is just Qin worrying about nothing. I've already told her that she doesn't need to worry about my opinion."

"Why do you say that?" Paimon asked puzzledly, "Isn't it great to be cared for by Captain Qin?"
