"If Noelle doesn't know how to tell, just follow two principles. The first is not to indulge others in the form of help, like letting someone be lazy. For example, if someone can clearly finish their own tasks and actually has the time, but just wants to be lazy and pushes things onto you, then don't agree. This will only make their laziness worse. In the long run, it will not only hurt them but also yourself. You will lose a lot of time and energy because of this person."

"Principle two is much simpler and easier to remember than principle one. It's about following the other person's wishes. For example, if they don't want you to help them, then you can give up interfering with them depending on the situation. Take, for example, right now—I'm supposed to be entertaining you, the one who helped me, but now the situation is reversed. This makes me feel lost and makes me feel like I haven't fulfilled my duty as a host."

"Um... I'm sorry." Noelle finally reacted. She stood up and lowered her head to apologize to Amber. Seeing this, Amber sighed, stood up, walked to Noelle and rubbed her head.

It should be said that as she grows older, Amber's original love for children has gradually expanded to young people. For example, when facing a girl of Noelle's age, she sometimes can't help but have the mentality of an elder.

"Then it's my turn as host to entertain our guest, Noelle. Sit down, Noelle, and relax. I'll get you a glass of juice and prepare some snacks."

"Ah... well." Noelle sat down hesitantly. Now it was her turn to feel uncomfortable. This situation lasted until Amber prepared the drinks and snacks. After that, Amber told Noelle various anecdotes from her memory. Amber was very good at controlling the atmosphere, and Noelle slowly relaxed in Amber's words.

When Noelle walked out of the house, his steps seemed a little unsteady. The previous time seemed like a dream, so dreamy.

But the feeling of being taken care of like this is unexpectedly good and makes people feel warm.

Chapter 78: "Mond is awesome!"

Mond is a country with a rich history of struggle. In the early days of the Demon War on the land of Teyvat, the wind god Barbatos, together with the ancient Mond people, overthrew the storm god Deacarapian, who lived in a high tower and cruelly ruled Mond. After that, the wind god chose to retreat behind the scenes because he did not want to become a new tyrant, and let the Mond people govern Mond. However, he never expected that the people who were given freedom would create their own "tyrants".

One thousand six hundred years after the city was founded, a thousand years ago, the God of Wind was awakened by the cry of the slave girl Vanessa, and secretly assisted Vanessa in her rebellion against the old nobles, which directly created the Mondstadt of today.

Today's Mondstadt remembers its past history. No country understands the value of peace and the importance of equality better than the people of Mondstadt. The current Knights who maintain the peace in Mondstadt were established under the leadership of Vanessa. They work together with the Church that believes in the God of Wind and the residents of Mondstadt to build this peaceful country.

But not everyone is treated equally in Mond. The people of Mond remember their past history, which means that the hatred buried in history is also passed on. The descendants of the Lawrence family, the leader of the old nobles who oppressed the people of Mond during the old Mond period, are not welcome in today's Mond.

This is not entirely due to past historical reasons. The fundamental reason is that the descendants of the Lawrence family are not sociable at the moment, and are obsessed with pursuing past glory. They want to sit on the heads of the people of Mond and act tyrannically again. Naturally, such an existence will not be accepted by the people of Mond.

There are exceptions. In this generation, Eula from the Lawrence family, who should be the daughter of the Lawrence family, a mortal enemy of the Knights, was invited to join the Knights. When most people suspected that she had some conspiracy, Eula did not make any excuses but admitted it directly.

No one knew better than her what it felt like to be caught between the old nobility and Mondstadt. Prejudice was sometimes like a mountain that could hardly be moved no matter how hard one tried.

——But fortunately, it's not that there is no improvement at all. Facts are often the most convincing things. During the years that Eula has been in the Knights Templar, although the suspicion and suspicion against her have never diminished, she has taken the position of guerrilla team leader with her impeccable strength. People can't find any fault with her behavior, and since she really didn't do anything, the fear in their hearts has gradually faded.

Eula has an extremely unique characteristic. She likes to "hold grudges". In the past, when others talked about her behind her back or questioned her, she would respond with "I will remember this grudge." Initially, this was regarded as a threat, but now it has become a just-in-time warning, warning others to stop offending her personally.

Eula, who was awarded the name of "Wave Knight", does not represent Lawrence or the old nobility at the moment. She is just the captain of the guerrilla squad of the Knights, nothing more.

"How is the situation in the wilds of Mond recently?" In the office of the acting leader of the Knights Templar, a tall blond woman with a ponytail sat on one side of the round table and asked the tall blue-haired woman on the other side.

The blonde woman is none other than the current acting leader of the Knights of Favonius: Jean Gunhildr, the Lionfang Knight. The Lionfang Knight is also known as the Dandelion Knight. The original Dandelion Knight was the great hero Vanessa who liberated Mondstadt. After her death, this name has been passed down to this day.

"What else can we do? Everything is as usual. Don't underestimate the guerrillas." The blue-haired woman's voice was as cold as her appearance. This was Eula. She seldom entered Mondstadt on weekdays. She often wandered around the wilderness of Mondstadt with the guerrillas, eradicating the monsters wandering the land of Mondstadt.

When the disaster struck a hundred years ago, Mond was attacked by a tide of dark beasts. The knights at that time made great sacrifices and defended Mond with their lives. The impact of the disaster on Mond has not been fully recovered to this day. This is now manifested in the fact that there are always wandering monsters and apostles of the Abyss Cult in the wilds of Mond. In dealing with these dangers, the guerrilla team has indeed made a huge contribution.

"No one gave you any trouble on the way here, right?" Qin took a sip of tea. At this time of day, she was usually busy with her work. The duties of the acting leader were so hectic that she only took some time to rest today because Eula came to visit her.

"No, they didn't dare. Although they were as cold to me as ever, they didn't make things difficult for me." Eula savored the tea in the cup. Qin was very good at making tea, and it tasted very good.

"That's good." The slight worry in Jean's eyes dissipated. After all, Eula was a descendant of Lawrence. Even though she knew Eula's true intentions and was sure of her abilities, and was even willing to publicly clarify things for Eula, Eula's surname condensed the endless suffering that Mond had endured thousands of years ago. When the residents of Mond saw Eula, they would inevitably think of that history, and this would be difficult to improve in a short period of time.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few years."

"Oh? Acting Captain, are you feeling sorry for me? Humph! I will remember this grudge!" Eula's voice was like a cold ice spring. The broken ice in it made a tinkling sound as the spring water flowed. However, such a pleasant voice conveyed words that sounded quite scary at first glance.

But Qin knew very well that these remarks, which sounded quite unkind at first, were just due to Eula's nature. She had a warm heart beneath her icy exterior, and the "hatred" she spoke of was often only used to refer to something else and could not be regarded as hatred.

"Oh, you didn't invite me to the tea party?" As the office door was pushed open, a tall woman wearing clothes that only witches in stories would wear walked in. She had short, slightly curly hair with a purple rose hair accessory on it, the color was exactly the same as the main color of her clothes.

The woman's pupils are a soft emerald green, and there is an inexplicable laziness between her eyebrows, which further highlights her charm.

"It's Lisa. I thought you were taking a nap, so I didn't disturb you." Qin stood up and added another chair. When she turned her gaze behind Lisa, she added another chair in silence.

"...Lisa, who is that behind you?" Qin looked at the petite silver-haired girl whose hand was held by Lisa. The girl had a pair of beautiful amber eyes. She blinked and looked at the layout of the office, very curious.

"This is the little cutie I just met. She and her sister just came to Mondstadt from Xumi today, so she's kind of my junior." Lisa took a step and walked slowly to the chair and sat down. Aji, who came here with Lisa by chance, first greeted Qin and Eula, then ran to the chair and sat down, showing the cuteness of a child in every move.

A child of this age reminded Jean of Klee, or to be exact, a well-behaved version of Klee. Her expression softened a little for a moment.

No one spoke for a while. The silence continued until Qin poured tea for Aji and Lisa. Lisa first praised Qin's cooking skills, and then looked at Aji.

Lisa is a true genius. Even with a casual attitude, she can see the true nature of Aji at a glance. This kind of existence is not a human being, but a town spirit. Now Lisa has become concerned about that "Nafei". What kind of existence can conquer a town spirit as a sister?

"Little cutie~" Lisa gently stroked Aji's head with her hand. Aji had no resistance to this mature older sister who was lazy but also revealed a bit of charm. He just narrowed his eyes and made a purring sound like a cat.

"Didn't you say before, little cutie, that you had something to talk to the acting leader about?" Lisa's words reminded Ah Ji. She then realized that she had almost delayed her important business, and took out a letter from her pocket in a panic.

Aji previously thought that the scout knight was also a knight, so he must be found in the Knights Temperance. Even if he was not there for the time being, he could still ask about his whereabouts. So he came here directly. While talking to the guard, he was discovered by Lisa who happened to walk out of the library. After she learned of Aji's purpose, she brought her here.

"Letter?" Qin looked at the envelope in Aji's hand. Aji nodded vigorously when he heard that.

"This is the letter that Cole asked me to bring to Amber. I thought the scout knight is also a knight, so I came here to ask." Aji was sitting on the chair with his feet dangling in the air, shaking from time to time.

"A letter for Amber? That's unfortunate. As a scout knight, Amber is often away from home. Who knows where she might be right now?" Eula answered, lost in thought for a moment. "Why don't you give me this letter? As the leader of the guerrilla team, I'm also often on the road. You can give it directly to her when you meet her."

"Hmm... no." Aji thought for a moment and shook his head, "Cole said this letter is very important and must be handed to Amber personally."

"This..." Qin was at a loss for a moment, but perhaps God was blessing Aji, because at this moment there was a knock on the door, and at the same time there was a very lively voice.

"It's Amber!" Eula was the first to speak. She stood up from her chair and walked forward to open the door for Amber.

"Ah, Eula! And Sister Lisa and Captain Jean, everyone is here." A lively girl with windproof glasses hanging around her neck walked into the office. She first solemnly saluted Captain Jean with a knight's salute.

"Acting Captain, Scout Knight Amber reports to you! The Thousand Winds Temple reconnaissance mission has been completed!"

Jean returned the salute solemnly, displaying her dashing demeanor as a knight. Then she spoke, "We were just talking about you, Amber. What's the situation at the Thousand Winds Temple? Is it urgent?"

"There is no emergency, everything is normal." Amber first reported the situation, and then asked Qin why she talked about her. At the same time, she also noticed Aji sitting on the chair.

"What a cute child!" Amber walked quickly to Aji and hugged him warmly. Aji fell into a brief confusion for a while. After Amber learned that Aji was here to deliver a letter written by Cole to her, she not only hugged Aji again, but also rubbed Aji's face affectionately. As a result, Aji, who had just recovered, fell into a brief confusion again.

"Mond is awesome." Ami thought to herself in a daze, "The girls here are so welcoming..."

Chapter 79: Leaders' Meeting

Xumi, desert, wind-eroded land.

The environment of the wind-eroded land has been completely improved. After the departure of the God's messenger, the leaders of the clans in the Chi Nian Union formed a Council of Leaders. They attend meetings once a month, with the Chi Nian clan as the center, to discuss affairs and make votes at the meetings.

The Federation encountered various challenges, both large and small, over the past year. Fortunately, the leaders followed the instructions of the messenger before he left, using unity as the most powerful weapon. They worked hand in hand and overcame one obstacle after another.

Yi is active as the acting leader of the Chinanian clan. Her dress style tends to be crisp and neat, and her behavior is becoming more and more like Amber, without any drag. She is very capable and manages the clan in an orderly manner. Xiaokui, the successor secretly appointed by Amber, took Yi's original position after accumulating half a year of management experience with Abdul. Her talent is terrifying, and Yi is very optimistic about Xiaokui.

"Acting chief, the problem of dead zones at the edge of the upper wind erosion land is becoming more and more frequent. We have to invest too much manpower in the dead zone problem, which has led to a slight shortage of manpower in other places." The representative of the clan chiefs in the upper wind erosion land frowned and reported to Yi. At first, they did not quite understand why the envoy of God attached so much importance to the dead zone, but after the frequent occurrence of the dead zone problem, they had a deep understanding.

"I already know about this problem. Don't worry, although the Lady God's Messenger is outside the clan, she has always been concerned about the clan and has already given a solution. She has seen your efforts and asked me to convey a message to you: Thank you leaders for your hard work over the past year. You are all great." After becoming the acting leader, Yi had a deeper understanding of Amber's previous words and deeds, and also realized the burden on Amber's shoulders.

At first, she often wondered what kind of power supported that person to get to where he is today. In the face of various tests, she always maintained an extremely confident appearance. She was like a flag. With her around, no problem seemed to be a problem anymore.

Yi originally did not understand many of her decisions, but the longer she sat in this position, the more she understood Amber, understood the decisions she made that she did not understand, understood the pressure she faced, and understood how courageous she was.

She gathered the originally scattered desert together and built the most solid foundation. She seemed to have considered everything. Even after she left, the various contingency plans and follow-up plans she had orally dictated to her before leaving continued to benefit the desert.

"......!" Yi's words gave the leaders present a shot in the arm. After the messenger left the clan, except for returning once on Labor Day some time ago, he was missing for the rest of the time. Yi never revealed Amber's whereabouts. She explained it to the outside world as "protecting the personal safety of the messenger."

"The biggest problem with the Dead Zone right now is that it's difficult to prevent. There are almost no signs, and it will spread without warning. During this time of research outside, the God's Messenger has come up with the latest achievement - the 'Dead Zone Observation Lens'." Yi put the fingertips of both hands together, like a tower. Amber once told her that this gesture represents absolute confidence. This habit, similar to Amber's, has also invisibly increased her courage in the eyes of others.

Yi briefly explained the function of the lens. In simple terms, it can be used to find the Death Zone Tumor that has not yet spread. Such Death Zone Tumor attracts very few monsters and is much easier to purify, which can greatly improve the current situation.

"I knew it, the Lord God's Messenger really has a plan for everything!" The one who spoke was the new leader of the Li clan, A Luo's cousin who had returned from Kawanyi. The original leader Anil was getting older and his health was getting worse. He could no longer be on the front line, so he retreated to the second line and elected a new leader to manage the clan. At that time, Yi also specially sent someone to express his condolences.

"However, I've gathered you all here today not just to resolve the Dead Zone issue. Before leaving, the Lord Divine Envoy briefly outlined the future development direction of the desert to me. Now that the windbreaks on the Lower Pillar Sand Plain have been initially constructed and the upper wind-eroded land has the capital to be reclaimed on a large scale, then—it's time to move on to the next step."

Following Yi's gesture, Xiao Kui, who was standing beside Yi, unfolded the scroll that had been prepared long ago on the table. On it was a map of the entire wind erosion land, but many clans that should have been on the map were erased. For example, there was only a garrison called "Dead Zone Prevention and Control Office" left in the upper wind erosion land. The most conspicuous building complex on the entire map should be the garrison of the Chi Nian clan, but what was drawn here was a huge building complex called: Chi Nian City-State.

"..." In an instant, the conference room fell into silence. Xiao Kui silently looked at the leaders who were able to make eye contact with her one by one. This was a plan she and Yi had discussed long ago.

"After so many years... the desert will finally have its own city-state?" The speaker was an older chief present. He was more familiar with the history of the desert than the young people, and therefore he understood better the significance of establishing a desert city-state. This would be very beneficial to the vast majority of the people of the sand. The clan-based management model would become a thing of the past, and a unified city-state management model would become a new beginning. Under such a management model, work efficiency would be greatly improved.

"...It's really hard to imagine that she actually thought of this." The one who directly addressed the messenger of God as "her" was the representative of Aru Village, a guardian named Candice, who made outstanding contributions to the entire desert environment improvement plan. She had a very good personal relationship with Amber, so this way of addressing her would not cause dissatisfaction among others.

Singh, the chief disciplinary officer stationed in Kawan Post, watched all this silently. He had known about this for a long time. The news that Amber would establish a city-state in the desert had already been conveyed to the House of Religious Orders through the disciplinary officer and had been approved by the House of Religious Orders. At that time, the House of Religious Orders would set up an agency similar to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the city-state as a witness to the friendship between the two.

Singer and Amber knew the real purpose of the House of Commands very well. It would be much easier for the people of the sand to gather together and get information than if they were scattered as they are now, but these were nothing compared to the benefits of establishing a city-state.

Candice just thought it was no wonder that she was invited to attend the discussion at this leaders' meeting. In the past, she always sent people to witness it, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Faced with this astonishing resolution, the faces of the leaders present varied. Most of them were shocked, but a small number maintained subtle expressions. Establishing a city-state meant that the surrounding Sand People would be transferred to the Chi Nian Clan, and it also meant that their original clans would cease to exist. This was definitely a good thing for most grassroots Sand People. The Lower Wind Erosion Land, especially the Chi Nian Clan, were the first to start improving the environment, and the environment here was also the best at the moment. In addition, it was close to the market, close to the only desert foreign trade office, so life would be much better.

But for some leaders and clan leaders, this means that their positions will no longer exist, and the "bonuses" that can be obtained from this position will also no longer exist. Originally, they had the same interests, and they were united because of the teachings of the messenger before he left. But for those who attach great importance to interests, such a decision is like cutting flesh.

"Establishing a city-state is not an easy task. It requires a huge amount of manpower and even material resources. Isn't it a bit too hasty to do this now?" The speaker was Maha, the leader of the Chi Nian clan. As the first to speak out, he pointed out the problem with this resolution. After he said this, many voices of agreement appeared at once. Xiao Kui glanced at the people who spoke and wrote down their names one by one.

As a core member of the Chinanian clan, it is very abnormal for Maha to raise this question at this point. In fact, he does know the plan, and he raised this question intentionally.

Amber predicted that such a decision would cause dissatisfaction among some people, and Maha's role was to stir up these dissatisfactions at the right time. When he said this, those who responded were either those with ulterior motives or loyal people who were truly concerned about this issue. The task of distinguishing these people naturally fell on Xiaokui.

"This issue has actually been arranged long ago." Yi signaled the leaders present to be quiet. "Aoi, please read out the current funding and its source."

After Yi spoke, all the leaders present turned their eyes to Xiao Kui. This was exactly what Xiao Kui wanted. She looked at the leaders one by one, paying special attention to some people who had spoken with Maha before. She wrote down the psychological activities of these people for the later "settlement".

After that, Xiao Kui began to read out. At the top was the support funds from the Adventurer's Association, followed closely by the support funds from the Ikaros Airship Company, and then the support funds from various organizations and groups. These organizations and groups were the connections that Amber had cultivated for a long time. She had greeted them in advance, and when these organizations and groups heard that the desert led by Amber was going to build a city-state, they generously donated money and provided support funds.

Some of them provided support in the belief that they would gain many benefits after establishing a city-state in the desert, some simply provided support to repay Amber's favor, and more did both.

It is generally true that those who are virtuous have many helpers. Amber's originally unknown network of relationships has now revealed part of it, and this part alone is amazing enough.

Xiao Kui reported the total amount of support funds provided by various organizations and groups. This was a huge number that was enough to shock the leaders present. Many of them had lived to this day, not to mention having never seen or even heard of such a large amount of money.

"Next, it's the support funds provided by individuals." Xiao Kui said calmly, and this sentence once again caused an uproar.

It turns out that what I just said wasn’t all?!

Chapter 80: City-State Establishment Decision

The top individual donation came from Falushan of the Xumi Order. She was very mindful of their old friendship and spent a huge sum of money on this matter. Amber kept this friendship in her heart.

Following closely behind are various figures that are much smaller than the group support funds, but this is ultimately support in the name of individuals, and it is a very normal situation. It is very commendable that they can give such an amount in the face of such a situation. They are the people who should be valued the most.

At the end of the individual donations, Xiaokui calculated and reported those amounts that were too small.

"The personal support funds have been reported. Next is the support funds provided by the Lord God's Envoy." Xiao Kui paused deliberately. This sentence resonated strongly. The leaders present all knew that the Lord God's Envoy was busy dealing with the problem of the Dead Zone, but they never thought that even in such a busy time, the Lord God's Envoy did not forget to take time to take care of the desert. What he said before, "The Lord God's Envoy has always been concerned about the clan," was indeed not an empty statement.

"The Lady God's Messenger has invested most of the Mora in this. This is something she decided early on. The establishment of the city-state will bring about an unprecedented new situation and new life. By then, all the sand people in the desert will gather together. The Chi Nian city-state will be to the desert as the Xumi city is to the rainforest." Yi completed the final speech on behalf of Kui. It is not convenient to talk about the specific amount of money provided by Amber here. It is a huge number, so large that it is hard to imagine.

"Everyone, the funding issue has been resolved. As for manpower—chiefs of the various tribes in the Upper Erosion Land, I need you to lead your clans to the vicinity of the Chi Nian clan. Only those I designate will remain in the Upper Erosion Land to establish the 'Dead Zone Prevention Office.' The remaining Sand People will participate in the construction of the city-state. Those who participate will receive the same salary and benefits as those involved in desertification prevention work."

"Any objections?" There was an irrefutable determination in Yi's words, which was very similar to Amber's. After following Amber for many years and being influenced by her, she had also learned a lot.

No one expressed any objection. After reconfirming it, Yi ordered that this matter would be officially implemented in three days. As the meeting ended, the leaders of various clans left one after another.

"Have you noted down who they are, Xiaokui?" Yi tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her eyes slightly narrowed. After a fluctuation in the air on the left side behind her, two people appeared, Tariq and Ashanti.

"I've written it all down. About six of them are dissatisfied, and the rest generally support the decision to establish a city-state. Four of them have no other intentions." Xiao Kui made a report. She listed the names of the six and four people and asked Yi to review them.

"Tariq, your team is better at disguise, surveillance, and intelligence gathering. Assign someone to keep an eye on these six individuals and report back at any time."

"As for Ashanti, I need you to be on call for the time being to deal with any possible accidents."

Tariq and Ashanti saluted respectfully, their bodies becoming transparent again. They left the meeting room and went to carry out Yi's resolution.

"As for the remaining four people... three of them are very capable. They can be placed in important positions in the Chi Nian city-state in the future to cooperate in management." Yi looked at the list and thought to himself that the current clan leaders have sufficient management experience. As long as their abilities are not too mediocre, they will definitely be placed in various positions in the future. Yi deliberately did not mention this point before in order to identify who are the truly loyal people.

But loyalty is often not enough in management positions, and that is why he only employed three of the four people - talents with their own little ideas are still talents, but loyal mediocre people are also just mediocre people. As long as you are sure that you can control your subordinates, even if they have ulterior motives, they can still be a good card.

This was the first lesson Amber taught Yi, and also the first lesson Yi taught Xiaokui.

The situation in the wind erosion area has not yet reached Amber's ears. Few people know her current whereabouts. She only left "tokens" in the hands of the two team captains and Yi, Xiaokui, Maha, Abdul and Jibrail. In an emergency, they can destroy the tokens. At that time, Amber will feel it and she will rush back to the clan as quickly as possible to solve all problems.

Fortunately, these tokens have not been used yet. The desert has unexpectedly given her peace of mind, which is very comforting.

"I've never seen you, ma'am, in Mondstadt before. Could you tell me your name?" In the Angel's Gift, a famous tavern in Mondstadt, a tall, dark-skinned man wearing an eye patch greeted Amber. His exposed deep eyes concealed temptation, and in his hand was a glass of "Death in the Afternoon", a famous cocktail in Mondstadt known for its strong taste.

The man's name is Kaeya, captain of the Knights of Favonius. He is also the sworn brother of Diluc Leggenfondre, the current owner of the Dawn Winery, and the adopted son of Diluc's father, Cripps. In Mondstadt's words, the two brothers used to have a tacit understanding, like twins with a tacit understanding, guarding Mondstadt's peace both openly and secretly.

But because of an unknown accident, the brothers broke up, and people often felt extremely sorry about it.

Kaeya, who originally took on the responsibility of "brain" and cleared all obstacles for Diluc, came to the light and served as the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, while the red-haired boy, who was originally high-spirited, went to the dark side. After leaving the Knights, he traveled alone for three years. Finally, after returning to Mondstadt, he took over the position of owner of the Dawn Winery and became the "Dark Night Hero" who silently guarded Mondstadt in secret.

It was Amber who was being spoken to by Kaeya at this moment. She had come to the Angel's Gift on a whim to taste the fine wine there and had met the cavalry captain by chance. Although his tone sounded a bit frivolous at first, his etiquette was impeccable. Such a Kaeya was very popular in Mondstadt and was especially popular among Mondstadt drinkers and the elderly. He was known as "the most suitable person to entrust his granddaughter to."

In the Knights of Favonius, he is a reliable man of action, often responsible for cleaning up the aftermath, and is deeply trusted by the acting leader Jean. However, if you want to find him, a more suitable place is the tavern at night rather than the Knights' headquarters.

"Nephi." Amber sat at the bar, savoring the wine in her glass. "I'm just a scholar from Xumi. I happened to have an opportunity to study abroad, so I chose this country of wind and poetry as my destination."

"So she's a scholar from Xumi - in fact, there's also a scholar from Xumi in the Knights Templar, or a former scholar. Ms. Lisa is knowledgeable and capable, but for some reason she chose the insignificant position of librarian. I heard that she was also quite famous in the House of the Decrees. Have you heard of her deeds?" Kaia hid his temptation in his heart and talked to Amber in a casual manner. Amber could naturally feel the man's vigilance, but she didn't care.
