Huixin looked out the window: "We in Liyue will not do anything that will leave us at a disadvantage. And whether we help or not depends on you and Shenhe, since only the two of you have the fighting power."
"At most, I would send a message to Liyue."
Jiang Ning said, "We'll see when the time comes..."
…………
Just as Huixin had predicted, the Knights of Favonius were in a state of utter chaos.
Perhaps because of the Fools, or perhaps because of Dvalin, in any case, Jean, the current leader, has dark circles under her eyes and looks somewhat listless.
"Captain Qin, why don't you take a rest..."
Amber was very worried.
Qin shook her head: "No need, there are so many things to do right now, it's a crucial time..."
Lisa, standing to the side, slammed a stack of documents down in front of Qin, looking somewhat annoyed.
"Qin, you can't go on like this. For three days in a row, you've only slept for less than five hours in total. You've been working non-stop every day."
“If you continue like this, something bad will happen to you. Whether as a friend or as a fellow member of the Knights of Favonius, I have to have a serious talk with you.”
"But if I take a break, my work..."
Qin still didn't want to rest.
Lisa said, "What about the other knights? Are they all dead? Why don't you delegate the work?"
"But they all have their own jobs..."
"Is that what you call having a job? That's called cheating and shirking responsibility!"
"You're also an acting team leader, sometimes you need to show some backbone..."
Seemingly realizing that her words had been a bit hasty, Lisa took a deep breath.
"Alright, you go and rest. Leave the work to me and Yura. Amber, go and call Yura over."
Lisa gave the instructions.
"Okay, Lisa!"
Amber breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she was to go and call Yura.
This was the first time she had ever seen Lisa so angry. She could only cower in fear and stay silent. Now, she was more than happy to be allowed to leave.
Before leaving, Amber said, "Captain Jean, Lisa is right. You should take a good rest. The Knights of Favonius are counting on you."
After Amber left, Jean said with a wry smile, "Did I get a lesson from the younger generation?"
Lisa's tone softened a bit: "Alright, isn't what Amber taught us right?"
"Go and rest. You are not allowed to come to the office until you have slept for ten hours."
Qin was getting anxious: "Ten hours? I..."
"Ok?"
Lisa gave Qin a mere glance, and Qin shrank back.
My best friend is in a bad mood, so maybe I shouldn't go and provoke her?
Seeing from the office window that Qin was indeed heading towards the Knights' dormitory area, Lisa breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat down at Qin's desk, and began her daily work.
Looking for a lost kitten?
The request was rejected. You can do it yourself or post a request with the Adventurers' Guild.
Gathering fresh mint and dandelions in the countryside?
Rejected. This is not the responsibility of the Knights of Favonius. Go to them yourself or contact the Adventurers' Guild.
Lisa mercilessly stamped her veto on document after document.
The more I work, the higher my blood pressure gets.
Has the people of Mondstadt really come to this?
Will Qin still have to feed you food during meals in the future?
…………
In the afternoon, as expected, Yura arrived at the Goethe Hotel to seek help from Liyue.
Compared to the ambitious Winter, Mondstadt has more faith in Liyue, with whom it has always had a good relationship.
After explaining her purpose, Huixin nodded and said:
"So, you mean that Mondstadt is currently short-handed, and with the need to go to the disaster-stricken areas for post-disaster relief and defense work, Mondstadt needs help to guard against the arrival of the Stormterror?"
Yura nodded: "Yes, the Grand Master went on the expedition and took many knights with him. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so short-handed. Moreover, we also trust Liyue as our ally."
Huixin said, "Well, but you should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch, even for allies."
Yura said, "Don't worry, we've already decided on this. In the upcoming official business exchanges between Mondstadt and Liyue, we will reduce our tax burden on Liyue by 30%."
After careful consideration, Huixin nodded and said, "I have no problem with that, but it still depends on what Jiang Ning thinks."
The implication is that if you can persuade Jiang Ning, Li Yue will agree to this.
Yura looked at Jiang Ning with anticipation.
"Well, personally speaking... could you perhaps give me the title of Honorary Knight?"
Jiang Ning asked.
Yura was taken aback for a moment, then said, "If it's just this, then of course there's no problem."
It's just an honorary title anyway.
Jiang Ning said, "Then I have no problem on my end either."
Yura said, "Then thank you very much. Mondstadt will not forget Liyue's help."
Jiang Ning suddenly laughed and said, "You're not holding grudges now?"
Yura glared at her with her beautiful eyes: "Hey! What kind of image do I have in your mind?!"
Jiang Ning pinched his chin: "Hmm, a vengeful knight?"
Yura spoke faster, seemingly getting a little anxious: "What vengeful knight? I'm the Wave Knight! I hold grudges, I really do!"
Jiang Ning chuckled. "You still say you're not a vengeful knight..."
Overall, Yura breathed a sigh of relief, as she had temporarily brought Liyue to her side.
At least, Liyue is more believable than the Fatui, isn't it?
As night fell, Jiang Ning sat alone by the window, gazing at the moon and lost in thought.
Is it because of her own butterfly effect? Yura, who shouldn't have appeared during Dvalin's rampage in Mondstadt, has already appeared, and the Fatui are practically itching to make a move, practically wearing their schemes on their sleeves.
They also intervened in the abyss ahead of time...
Jiang Ning was having a bit of a headache; this was beyond her expectations...
However, the excitement and the unknown are what make it most interesting.
Originally, he only wanted to finish the Mondstadt dungeons as soon as possible to see what the Liyue storyline was like, so he could experience it firsthand without having to use a god's-eye view.
It seems... we can experience it ahead of time now.
The God's-eye view is no longer useful.
Hmm, I could steal the twins' honorary knight title to pave the way for my future influence in Mondstadt politics...
Jiang Ning was considering when he felt a pair of hands on his waist, which then slowly moved downwards.
Jiang Ning: “…”
I don't want to think about it anymore; I'll talk about it another day.
84. Dvalin, prepare to be beaten! (Seeking first subscription)
"It's another refreshing day."
Jiang Ning stretched and climbed out of Shen He's arms with renewed energy.
Jiang Ning drew back the curtains and said happily:
"As expected, the weather is fine... Huh?"
Jiang Ning stared blankly at the overcast sky.
"...Why are you up so early?"
Shen He got up, and his smooth skin couldn't stop the blanket from slipping off, exposing his snow-white, jade-like figure to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said, "If you're awake, get up early."
Shen He nodded, and then began to get dressed.
When the two arrived at the restaurant for breakfast, Huixin simply sighed and patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder.
"Young people should be more moderate...don't start having children as soon as you turn 18."
Huixin said earnestly.
Jiang Ning blushed and stammered. Shen He, on the other hand, appeared aloof, but only Jiang Ning knew how passionate he was beneath that aloofness.
After dinner, Huixin took a walk in the courtyard. When Jiang Ning stepped on the stone slabs in the courtyard, he squinted his eyes.
The rock told him that today seemed like it would be quite lively.
"Sister Huixin".
"Ok?"
A wise mind turns back.
Jiang Ning said, "Tvalin will be coming today, so let's stay indoors and not come out."
Although Huixin was puzzled as to how Jiang Ning knew, she still said, "Alright, you all be careful. If things get really bad, retreat. Your safety is the most important thing, understand?"
