Chapter 8: Conditions for Obtaining the Wings of Wind

When it comes to Mondstadt cuisine, many people think of the distinctive Mondstadt roast meat. The rough-and-ready cooking method and the selection of ingredients may seem unrefined, but upon closer inspection, they are quite sophisticated.

However, if you were to ask the people of Teyvat to vote for the most famous dish from Mondstadt...

That is without a doubt—

"Sweet Flower-Stuffed Chicken".

Bai Qiyun stared at the whole chicken in front of him, which was roasted to a slightly charred crisp, and smelled the rich aroma and faint sweetness emanating from it.

Without a doubt, this dish is quite well done.

If Bai Qiyun were to do it himself, without using elemental power, it would be basically the same.

Legend has it that this dish was created before the wind god opened up Mondstadt amidst the snow and wind.

People suffering from wind and snow are constantly craving more warmth.

The appearance of the sweet flower brought them hope.

At that time, since people didn't have enough space to live, there was naturally no space to raise large poultry.

After much deliberation, people finally chose the chicken as the primary poultry for a period of time.

It was under these circumstances that Sweet Flower Stuffed Chicken, a dish based on fire and snow, was naturally born.

On memorable occasions, people often slaughter poultry, use sweet flowers for sweetness, and then simply roast them over a fire to finish the dish.

Of course, the Sweet Flower Stuffed Chicken we see today is an improved version that has been refined by countless generations.

Bai Qiyun, using a knife and fork he wasn't quite used to, made a cut on the crispy crust.

"Sizzle."

The sound didn't resemble cutting meat; rather, it was as crisp as chopping bamboo.

He picked up a piece of meat with alternating layers of skin and flesh with his fork, dipped it in the sauce given to him by Miss Sarah the Deer Hunter, and then swallowed it in one bite.

"Mmm~"

The crispy roasted chicken skin, combined with the aroma of oil and the flavor of the dipping sauce, explodes in your mouth.

The juicy chicken served as the vanguard in this battle, engaging in a fierce fight with the tongue.

However, under the crushing force of the teeth, they could only obediently become food for Bai.

"Phew! It truly lives up to its reputation."

Bai Qiyun looked at the dish in front of him with admiration. Sure enough, when it comes to Mondstadt, it has to be Sweet Flower Chicken.

Although the chicken was sweet and not to his liking, there was no doubt that it was an excellent dish.

"What do you mean by 'well-deserved reputation'?"

The little fairy floated over from not far away, followed by two beautiful girls.

"Hmm? It's you guys."

Distracted by the sudden words, Bai Qiyun looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Paimon floated in front of him, with Luminous and Amber hanging not far behind.

"Hey, cook, I have some good news."

Paimon rubbed his little hands together excitedly.

When Bai Qiyun saw that the group had approached, he put down his knife and fork.

"Oh? What good news? Tell me about it."

"Hehe, that's right, our Ying has been named an 'Honorary Knight' of the Knights of Favonius!"

Paimon grabbed Ying's arm and then listened to her chest.

Judging from her demeanor, anyone who didn't know better would think she was the one who had been bestowed the title of "Knight of Honor".

"Actually, it's not something particularly noteworthy."

Ying waved her hand and then found a seat next to Bai Qiyun.

The boy rested his chin on his hand.

"Hey~ an honorary knight, that's great, isn't this a good thing?"

"Yes, yes, I heard from the leader of the guild that it was to commend Luminous for protecting Mondstadt from Stormterror."

It's obvious that Amber was present when the investiture took place, otherwise she wouldn't have been so excited.

"Speaking of which, does this 'Honorary Knight' title come with any paperwork or anything?"

Looking at the two people who were no different from before they left, Bai Qiyun began to doubt the weight of this title.

Although he didn't think the dragon would completely destroy Mondstadt, it was still a dragon after all.

It wouldn't be appropriate to just brush it off like this.

"Documents?"

Paimon was the first to be puzzled, as she didn't remember the band leader giving her those things.

At this point, it was Amber who had to explain.

The girl patted her chest, making her two little white rabbits sway wildly.

"Actually, the title of Honorary Knight is recorded on the list of the Knights of Favonius. Generally, those who receive this title will have their portraits printed and then circulated among the captains. They will be given certain conveniences when crossing borders or when requesting assistance from the Knights."

"It sounds like you're talking about a businessman."

"Ah, never mind that! Actually, there are many other benefits to being an Honor Knight, but that's all I know, haha..."

Bai Qiyun withdrew his gaze from Amber and then looked at Ying, who was sitting quietly at the dining table.

Despite having been through so much before, she now appears as quiet as a girl next door.

That's truly impressive.

"Speaking of which, there's something I want to ask you."

"I?"

Ying, who had been calm just moments before, suddenly became a little flustered.

"Yes, that's how you got those wind wings that made you fly before."

For some reason, Bai Qiyun felt that Ying's gaze towards him was a little strange.

"W-what's wrong?"

Ying stared at the boy for a while before suddenly sighing.

"I thought you were going to ask me where my wind elemental power came from."

"Oh, you mean that? Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't want to talk about it, you just don't have to."

Although he was quite curious about that too.

Ying pointed at Amber with her fair fingers, "My Wind Wings were a gift from Amber."

"Amber?"

Bai Qiyun turned to look at the somewhat proud rabbit girl.

"Hmph, don't let my appearance fool you. I'm a scout knight, the flying champion of Mondstadt."

When talking about her strengths, Amber appeared incredibly confident, showing no trace of the way she had been running around fawning over Kaeya just moments before.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiyun raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, if he wanted to get the Wind Wings, getting them from Amber would be the fastest way.

But... will they actually give it to me?

"Cough cough~"

Bai Qiyun coughed twice, pretending to be serious.

"Um, Miss Amber."

"Eh? Just call me Amber, there's no need for 'Miss' or anything like that."

Having never asked a stranger for help in his eight hundred lifetimes, Bai Qiyun was still a little unaccustomed to it.

He swallowed hard as he looked at the somewhat shy girl.

"Um, how exactly do you get the Wind Wings? I see every citizen of Mondstadt has one, and even Ying has one..."

He drew out his words, intentionally or unintentionally shifting the topic to Amber.

Amber scratched her head. "Actually, the proper way to obtain the Wind Wings is to report to the Knights of Favonius. However, since Luminosity can manipulate wind elemental power, and since I'm in charge of this, I just gave her the Wind Wings directly. For ordinary people..."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind her words was quite clear.

Those who lack the Eye of God and cannot wield elemental power must obtain the Wings of Wind from her through legitimate channels.

Of course, members of the Knights of Favonius are exempt from testing, since they were tested when they joined the order.

Hearing this answer, Bai Qiyun was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again.

There's good news too, though. Didn't she say it could be obtained through official channels?

"What are the specific procedures?"

After learning that he had no hope of getting in through connections like Ying, Bai Qiyun quickly adjusted his mindset and hurriedly asked someone in the know.

"The specific process is that you submit a written document, then take a written test, and if you pass the written test, you will be assessed on practical skills."

"Is there still a written test?"

Bai Qiyun glanced at Ying, who put on an awkward yet polite smile.

Hey, hey, hey, this guy definitely didn't take the written test.

What's the point of this exam then?

"It can't just be used to limit the number of people, can it?"

"No, that's not it. In the words of the group leader, 'To ensure the safety of citizens' flights and improve their travel efficiency, we need to set higher standards and stricter requirements for travel methods and the issuance of travel permits.'"

Amber mimicked Jean's tone as she finished speaking this long passage; it must have been quite a challenge for her.

"Isn't this still just about limiting the number of participants?"

"I already said no!"

Amber took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Bai Qiyun.

"Fill this out, and I'll arrange a written test for you later. Don't even think about skipping it."
