"The battle against the Wind Dragon just now was witnessed by the citizens who were being protected."
"Although not many people witnessed the restoration of the square, it actually helped the citizens of Mondstadt more."
"The acting leader is very interested in the three of you and hopes to meet you at the Knights' headquarters."
Then several people followed Kaia and Amber along the stairs to the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind.
Inside the Knights, Qin was still waiting anxiously. If Lisa hadn't advised Qin to relax and not be anxious, Qin would have probably rushed out to meet them.
While Qin was still pacing, two knocks were heard from the front door.
[System prompts: Complete the task and you will be rewarded with 160 original stones. The follow-up task is to obtain the Sky Harp. Reward: A slight improvement in physical fitness.]
"Acting Captain, I have brought the people here."
Kaiya pushed open the door of the captain's office and led everyone into the office.
Jean and Lisa also turned their eyes and smiled.
Kaia and Amber first reported to Jean.
Then Captain Qin listened, nodded, and performed a knight's salute at the positions where the others were.
"Mondstadt welcomes you, wind-bound travelers."
"I'm the acting leader, Jean. This is Lisa, the Knights' librarian."
"Ah, are you a kind-hearted kid here to help because we are short of manpower?"
"How cute. But... the timing is not so good..."
Lisa didn't pay much attention to etiquette, but spread her hands to several people.
"Since its resurrection, the Wind Demon Dragon has been active around the city, causing chaos."
"The flow of elements and the circulation of earth veins in Mondstadt have become as chaotic as a ball of string that has been scratched by a cat. This is the worst situation for magicians... their skin and mood will both deteriorate."
"If there were no such interference, the Knights would have a better solution than the missing person notice. Please stay in Mondstadt for a while, and we, the Knights of Favonius, will work hard to solve the problem."
"Then let me help too."
Ying did not ask for reward like she did when she met Kaeya, but chose to help. After all, finding her brother and the God of Wind were not things she could accomplish alone when the disaster was about to happen. It would be better to rely on the help of the Knights Templar and then use the power of the Knights Templar to help her accomplish it.
"Then I'll come and help. Although I don't have Ying's fighting power, I can still help if it's just to solve some minor problems."
"Paimon too. Paimon wants to help too."
"Well then, let's decide on a battle plan."
Finally, after several people discussed, they finally decided not to sit and wait for death, but to take direct action. They chose to go to the ruins of three abandoned temples before the dragon disaster spread further and solve the problem from the root.
Paimon and Ying didn't know why there were three ruins for the Four Guardians of the Winds, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Only Arthur knew it, because Tevarin, the wind dragon, was one of the Four Guardians of the Winds.
The reason why there are only three ruins is because the people of Mond have forgotten about the Guardian of the Four Winds.
It's not like the plot, where the protagonist goes through three ruins alone. Instead, several people divide the work and cooperate with each other. Kaeya, Lisa and Amber are each responsible for one ruin. Among them, Ying and Paimon follow Amber to the Temple of the Eagle of the West Wind, Kaeya goes to the Temple of the Wolf of the North Wind alone, and Lisa is responsible for the Temple of the Lion of the South.
Originally, Captain Jean only knew that Arthur had treated Ying and repaired the scene in the square. She thought that Arthur was an auxiliary staff member like her sister, and planned to let Arthur stay in the Knights and wait for them to come back. However, she learned from Amber that Arthur, like Ying, was also a traveler with good combat power. So she asked Lisa to take care of Arthur, and the two of them went to the Temple of the Lion of the South together.
But Lisa, Jean and Amber all misunderstood Arthur.
Lisa and Jean only knew what happened to Arthur in Mondstadt, while Amber told how the three of them dealt with the Hillichell tribe together, thinking that Arthur's power was the same as that of the Knights Templar without the Eye of God, and that he could only use weapons for melee attacks.
But Amber didn't expect that she didn't explain the details of the battle in detail, which led the two to misunderstand Arthur's fighting style.
As a result, Lisa, the most powerful and knowledgeable member of the Qin faction, was responsible for taking care of Arthur. She only wanted Arthur to be responsible for dealing with emergencies and prevent sudden appearance of thugs from interrupting Lisa's spellcasting.
But only Arthur himself knows that he can now use Holy Light to box at close range, and use the Holy Light Cross as a turret at a distance. If he wants to run or charge up, he can use it and his spells will be interrupted 100% if he catches a blade with his bare hands. He can also heal his teammates in the background and cook well.
After everyone finished discussing, they did not choose to attack immediately. After all, it was already evening. Jean had to continue to deal with the follow-up and various documents caused by the dragon disaster in the Knights Order. Lisa did not have so much to do and wanted to rest and go to eat. Kaeya also wanted to rest, but was captured by Jean to appease the people and deal with what might happen in the city.
Amber was the only one who was not assigned a mission and had nothing to do. It was almost time, so she planned to fulfill her promise and take a few people out for dinner.
Chapter 12 The Night Before Departure
Arthur and his partner came to the restaurant in Mondstadt Square. Amber ordered a plate of fried carrots with honey sauce for each of the four people. They chatted for a few minutes and then prepared to leave and go back to rest.
When it was time to pay the bill, Amber wanted to pay, but the shopkeeper refused to accept it. Instead, he said, "If it weren't for the help of the Knights and this traveler, the dragon disaster would probably still be destroying the city. Moreover, the damage caused by the dragon disaster has been repaired by this gentleman. If I were to ask for money, then what kind of person would I be? Consider this meal my reward to you all."
After the two of them kept refusing, Amber finally chose to accept the store owner's kindness. After all, this was not only because she was a member of the Knights Templar, but also to thank Ying and Arthur for their contributions to the dragon disaster. So she silently accepted the store owner's "reward" and left the restaurant with a few people.
"I didn't expect that they didn't charge you any money. They said it was to repay you. Then this meal is the store's way of repaying you two for treating you. When we come back from the ruins tomorrow, I'll treat you to a meal. After all, I said I would treat you to a meal, but in the end, I didn't pay for it."
Amber put her hands on her hips and said to the two of them. At the same time, to prove the correctness of her logic, she nodded. Before they could reply, she ran away.
Only Arthur and Ying were left with confused faces. As for Paimon, he was still patting his bulging belly, savoring the delicious fried meat with honey sauce and carrots.
"Hey, I was just going to say no, I was just joking."
Ying didn't expect Amber to be so straightforward. She just habitually asked Amber to treat her, but in fact, she was the one who received help. She learned how to use the Wings of Wind and was given the Wings of Wind by Amber. But she asked Amber to treat her. Even though they had finished eating, Amber wanted to treat her again because she didn't pay for it. Even Paimon, the glutton, felt that Amber was too real and simple. Is this Mond?
What could Arthur say? He was just brought along. Although there were three people having dinner with Amber Yuehao, when Amber was learning the Wings of Wind, she only said that to Ying. He and Paimon could only be said to be brought along.
"Let's go back to the hotel first. It's getting late. Go back and have a good rest. You won't have time to rest well in the wild. Rest well tonight. We still have to go to the ruins tomorrow. Get enough rest."
Afterwards, Arthur took Ying and Paimon to the hotel he had booked. He didn't know what the owner was busy with, perhaps repairing or counting something affected by the dragon disaster. Anyway, he didn't see him. But the two guns were given to him when Arthur paid the deposit. Since the manager was not there, they checked in directly.
Arthur put away his key and threw the other one to Ying.
"Here, the key to your room. I don't have enough, so I booked it for three days. I think the ruins will be solved in these three days, and Captain Qin will also arrange accommodation for us. You can stay here for now. You can go back and rest. My idea of purchasing supplies was interrupted by the dragon disaster, so I will continue to purchase."
Arthur thought about it and realized that he still had some Mora. He didn't know what kind of emergency he would encounter when he went to the ruins tomorrow. Anyway, he decided to exchange the Mora for supplies first, just in case.
Ying did not follow them. Apart from weapons, she did not need anything for the time being. If the raw stone was still useful, it could improve her strength. Now that she had a place to live, of course she had to take a shower and have a good rest.
"Okay, go ahead. I'm going to rest first. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Ying took the key and entered her room, and Arthur returned to Mondstadt to purchase supplies.
After thinking about it, I decided to go to Sarah's place first, that is, the restaurant where I went to eat at the beginning, to see if I can get the recipe. As for the weapons, there is no need. The edgeless sword can be used now, and it will not be possible to complete the forging of the weapon tomorrow. It is better to talk about it later, and then collect some ingredients.
"Welcome, ah, it's you."
Sarah recognized Arthur right away. After all, she saw Arthur repair the square with her own eyes. He was the store manager who told her, otherwise the free meal would not have happened. (Sarah is a waitress, not a store manager)
“Do you have a recipe?”
"recipe?"
Sarah tilted her head. She thought Arthur would come to order food, processed products, or ask for news, but she didn't expect him to ask if there was a recipe.
Then he thought about it and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, all the dishes in the restaurant are made by the chef. As for the recipes, no one writes them down on paper now. They are all passed down orally. Only specialized cooking books or some older ingredients have recipes."
Arthur heard what Sarah said, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he bought 20 pieces of butter, 20 portions of cream, 10 portions of sugar and 10 portions of fisherman's toast.
Then I went to Blanche's grocery store across the street and bought 10 portions of salt and milk, and then bought 20 portions of flour.
In this way, I had the ingredients to make my own cake, and then I thought there was nothing else to buy so I just went back.
He checked his wallet and found that he only had 17000 left out of the 7000 Mora. That was after both sides gave him a big discount. Otherwise, the Fisherman's Toast alone would have been enough to spend that money.
I can only say that Mora is not as good as flowers.
Arthur and Ying's rooms happened to be adjacent to each other, but he didn't know whether it was because the hotel had good soundproofing or Ying next door had already gone to bed, but he didn't hear any sound from next door. He didn't want to make any noise, so he went back to bed and prepared to rest.
This day was truly eventful, far more eventful and exciting than the life before I traveled through time.
We are heading to the ruins tomorrow. The journey has just begun and the future will only be more exciting.
The night quietly enveloped Mond, and the lights in every house went out one after another. No one knew what would happen tomorrow, but at this moment, everyone fell asleep with hope.
Chapter 13 Let's Eat Cake Before the Battle
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the room, waking up Arthur who was still sleeping. He looked at the approximate time and it was about 8 o'clock in the morning, so there was still some time before departure.
Arthur got up and washed up, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Arthur, are you up?"
Ying's voice came from outside the door.
"Wake up, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."
After Arthur finished washing up, he put on the clothes issued by the system again. Because of the cleaning technique, he didn't need to clean them. Then he opened the door.
"Let's go, have breakfast and go to the Knights. Even though it's still a while, we should arrive early and be well prepared, so that we don't get into any unexpected situations."
When Ying saw Arthur open the door, she tried to pull Arthur out of the room, but Arthur grabbed Ying's hand tightly.
Although Ying looks like a veteran and has outstanding strength, her hands are not big. Instead, they are tender and soft when pulled, like a baby's face, soft and elastic, making people love to hold them.
Ying was curious as to why Arthur held her hand, so she turned around to hear why. As for being held by the hand, she didn't mind at all, after all, she was the one who took the initiative to hold him, and it was just holding hands, and she was not a teenager anymore, so there was no need for her to care.
"No need to go out to eat. I just happened to buy some raw materials yesterday, so I just wanted to try out the food I made. By the way, Ying, have you ever eaten cake?"
When Arthur saw that Ying had no intention of pulling him out, he withdrew his hand and opened the system to take out the supplies purchased yesterday.
"Cake? I've eaten it before. What's wrong? Do you want to make a cake?"
"Well, I don't think there's any cake in Mond, so I'm asking you. Since you've eaten it, it's easy. You don't need me to explain anything. Just wait for me, it'll be ready soon."
Arthur had no impression of having cakes in Teyvat, at least he had never obtained any related recipes. There were only the system cakes for every birthday and the slime cake for Paimon's birthday. He had never heard of anywhere making cakes in Teyvat.
I entered the small kitchen provided by the hotel, but there was nothing there. Maybe the owner never thought that anyone could cook. Fortunately, I had planned to try out my skills, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to cook.
"Cake making."
Arthur activated the skill effect of Culinary Mastery, and all the ingredients floated up and gathered together. Then with a dripping sound, a 16-inch double-layer cake was created.
The skill can indeed be activated normally, but I didn't expect it to be so big. I thought one portion of the ingredients would only be enough to make a piece of cake, or a small cake the size of a palm, but I didn't expect it to be 16 inches. No matter how I think about it, it doesn't look like Ying and I can finish it. Even if Paimeng is included, we can't finish it. After all, a cake of this size is enough for ten people.
Although he had no choice but to walk out with the cake.
"Wow, it's so big, and it was made so quickly. Arthur, you didn't stay up last night and secretly made the cake, did you?"
Paimon was surprised at the size of the cake and the time when Arthur came out. Even Ying thought that the cake Arthur was talking about should be a triangular cake for one person in a bakery or a small cake made in the oven. She didn't expect it to be so big.
"I can't finish it no matter how much I think about it, and the cake can't be stored and is inconvenient to carry. Even if I want to use it as food on the way to the ruins, I can't carry it."
Arthur had thought about it, and his system could indeed be stored, but trying to have your cake and eat it in the wild was not a good idea.
Then Arthur thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we take them directly to the Knights and ask Captain Jean to eat with us, otherwise it will be a waste if we can't finish them."
"Okay, then you go first. I'll go get Amber. At this time, Amber may just be getting ready to go to the restaurant for dinner. I'll go get her."
Then Arthur went to the Knights Templar with the cake in one hand, while Ying went to Mond Square to find Amber.
On the road, passers-by looked at Arthur and talked about him.
"Isn't this Lord Arthur who repaired the square affected by the dragon disaster yesterday?"
"Oh, that's true. Thanks to Lord Arthur, otherwise my family would probably still be resting now."
"Lord Arthur is so handsome, and he is wearing this outfit. Could it be that Arthur is also a knight of that family, but he just went out for training and came back to help after hearing that the Mondron Disaster was coming?"
"It's possible. If Lord Arthur is also a member of the Knights, then we won't have to worry about the losses caused by dragon disasters in the future."
"Did no one notice the cake? Bringing a cake to the Knights, is it someone's birthday?"
"No, I guess. Most of the Knights have been dispatched now. I guess no one is celebrating their birthday right now."
"Could it be a wedding?"
Everyone turned to look at the person who spoke last.
"I just said it casually."
"It's not impossible. Who is the other party? Captain Qin, Lady Lisa, or little Amber?"
"Or the blond traveler who saved the dragon disaster yesterday?"
"Why didn't anyone mention Barbara or Coli?"
"Open the door, Barbara Support Club."
"Open the door, Knights."
The last member who spoke was dragged away by Barbara's support group members and the Knights, and Arthur also left from their sight.
As his physical fitness improved, Arthur's five senses became stronger and stronger, and he could hear the words of the citizens clearly. He did not expect that he would be called an adult, nor did he expect that everyone in Mond was so gossipy.
