Noelle replied without hesitation, "My mission is to protect you. Wherever you go, I will follow."

Klee nodded, "I will do my best to help you with your big brother's work."

"Thank you." Wu Qiu was very touched and sincerely thanked the two of them.

The two people in front of them smiled at each other without saying much.

Soon, the three headed out of the city, heading towards the Temple of the Four Winds. However, halfway there, Noelle suddenly cried out in alarm.

"oops!"

Wu Qiu quickly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Did we forget to prepare food and water?"

Her words served as a reminder to Wu Qiu. Without food and water, they would surely starve to death wherever they went.

So they went back. This time they prepared plenty of food and water before heading out of the city once more.

The same two Knights of Favonius were still standing guard at the city gate. As Wu Qiu and his companions approached, they solemnly performed a knightly salute.

Of course, it wasn't for Wu Qiu, but for Noelle and Klee. Especially Klee; although she looks like a little girl, she's quite famous in the Knights of Favonius.

Having successfully left the city, Wu Qiu became curious about Noelle and Klee's strength. So, he activated his reconnaissance skill once again to assess the three's combat abilities.

First, it was myself. Sure enough, I'm still the same old good-for-nothing...

Then there's Noelle.

Name: Noelle

Rating: 28

Gender: Female

age:?

Information: Jane, a trainee knight of the Knights of Favonius.

Special reminder: "Your power is severely excessive, and your level may change at any time. Please be extremely careful, you useless host."

"Damn it!" Wu Qiu cursed inwardly. However, this special reminder was quite conspicuous.

Wu Qiu remembered that, apart from those who started with a question mark, only the Red Diamond Killer had given any special reminders to everyone else.

Moreover, that warning was particularly dangerous for Wu Qiu and his group, unlike Noelle's.

Noelle's statement clearly indicates that although her level is only 28, her strength is already far beyond the standard.

Unconsciously, Wu Qiu recalled the scene where a light knock on the door almost caused him to be beaten to death. He couldn't help but shudder.

Then look at another one, Klee, who is very lively, hopping around and laughing from time to time.

Name: Klee

grade:?

Gender: Female

Age: 50

Message: Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius, the walking sun.

Special reminder: This is an extremely dangerous target with destructive power far exceeding acceptable limits. It is recommended to kill it outright if an opportunity arises.

"Fifty years old? Hehe, you've reached the legal marriage age..."

"Ahem, a question mark about her level. It's not impossible that Klee is Mondstadt's strongest fighter."

"At least, even if Klee's combat power is not as good as Jean and Diluc's, in terms of destruction, Jean and Diluc can't even come close to Klee."

"But I won't get blown up, will I?" Wu Qiu was sweating profusely. The destructive power is seriously beyond the limit, brothers, I know it sounds awkward, but I didn't mistype it, it really is beyond the limit, seriously beyond the limit.

But then I looked at Noelle over there and felt relieved. With Noelle's shield, surviving shouldn't be too difficult.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Eagle of the West

However, just to be on the safe side, Wu Qiu still planned to ask Noelle first, since Klee's level was question mark, and those who had that were like god-like figures.

"Noelle, can your shield withstand Klee's bombs?"

Noelle was taken aback, clearly not expecting Wu Qiu to ask that. However, she thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't tried it."

After saying that, she lowered her head somewhat insecurely, hugging her arms. "However, Lord Spark Knight is definitely stronger than me, I..."

Okay, no need to say more, Wu Qiu understands. Noelle herself isn't confident she can stop it. This is very dangerous; what if Klee's hand slips and the bomb falls right at her feet...?

The more Wu Qiu thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she simply shook her head to stop thinking about it. Putting these terrible things aside, she looked at Keli over there.

Hmm—cute, every movement is captivating, she's even prettier than that long-legged mature woman.

But Wu Qiu quickly dismissed the idea. They soon passed a lake with clear water and fish swimming around.

Wow—! There's a fish!

The fish, perhaps also drawn to the cute little girl, swarmed around her. Klee's eyes lit up, and she casually pulled out a bomb.

"Bouncy Bomb!"

With a shout, Klee stretched out her hands, and a round thing went into the water. Then…

Boom!

With that kind of power, the entire lake was almost blown away. Wu Qiu was completely bewildered by the wind and the dripping lake water.

Noelle's mouth opened slightly, but she was clearly aware of or had witnessed Klee's power, so she wasn't too surprised.

"Hey, how about we run?"

Wu Qiu made the suggestion, but Noelle spoke up: "Lord Spark Knight is indeed very strong."

................................................

They were heading to three of the four wind temples: the Eagle of the West Wind, the Lion of the South Wind, and the Wolf of the North Wind.

The West Wind Eagle was undoubtedly the closest. They walked for about half an hour before they saw the temple gate.

This temple is similar to a dungeon in a game, only much more dilapidated. The gate is particularly large, tightly closed, giving it a long-abandoned appearance.

Of course, it had indeed been deserted for a long time. Looking at the huge, heavy, and ancient gate, Wu Qiu felt a headache coming on.

How do we get in?

Noelle stepped forward. "Leave it to me."

After saying that, she placed her hands on the stone door. She took a deep breath and then began to slowly apply force.

Noelle was like an ant before that stone door. But with Noelle's ever-increasing strength, the stone door rattled and creaked.

Then, the stone door opened, slowly but surely. The sound of the giant rock grinding against each other was exceptionally loud, but Wu Qiu was completely unaffected.

"My God, is this even human?"

This is outrageous. Wu Qiu knew Noelle was very strong. But this was ridiculously strong! Wu Qiu didn't even dare to imagine how heavy the stone door was, and then Noelle forcefully pushed it aside.

"Phew~ Done."

Turning around, Noelle smiled slightly, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Wu Qiu was still stunned, completely caught off guard.

Klee jumped up, exclaiming, "Wow! Noelle is amazing!"

"No, it's nothing." Noelle lowered her head again, arms crossed, her face slightly flushed, clearly embarrassed by the compliment.

Wu Qiu also stepped forward and said, "This is really impressive. There's nothing to be embarrassed about or to be modest about."

As they spoke, they looked at the temple that had been opened a crack. Although it was only a crack, it was large enough for them to enter.

"Let's go, let's go in quickly."

With that, Klee ran inside with her little backpack on.

"Hey! What about the plan? What about the objective? And the necessary vigilance! Don't wander off!"

Wu Qiu finally understood the greatness of Jean. Let alone the entire Mondstadt, even just Klee alone was beyond Wu Qiu's capabilities.

"Hey, let's hurry up, don't let Klee wander off on her own."

With that, Wu Qiu grabbed Noelle's wrist and ran inside. Entering the temple, it was quite dark, unlike anything in the game.

What came into view was a very long corridor; there were no other paths, just this one corridor. But…

"Where's Klee... Where did Klee go?! Where is she?!"

Wu Qiu was at his wits' end. What a terrible teammate! He hadn't even done anything since he arrived and had already lost someone. He was even worse than Paimon.

"This place seems different from the legendary Temple of the West Wind Eagle. It's best to be careful."

Noelle took the initiative to walk in front, while Wu Qiu... naturally followed behind. Bringing up the rear—that's called bringing up the rear, not being a coward.

Then, the two of them carefully walked forward. The corridor was not short, but it wasn't long either. After walking for about two minutes, Wu Qiu and the others reached the exit.

As they approached, Wu Qiu found a stone bridge in front of them. Upon arriving here, Wu Qiu and his companions felt an intense heat.

Noelle, in particular, was noticeably breathing heavily. She was wearing quite a lot of clothes, and the air was warm, so there were already visible beads of sweat on her forehead.

Not only that, Wu Qiu also noticed that Noelle's whole body had turned a little red, and sweat could be clearly seen constantly sliding down her neck.

"Noelle, are you alright? You're wearing so many clothes, shouldn't you take some off?"

Wu Qiu spoke, and although his words were a bit inappropriate, he really didn't think that much about it; he just wanted to make Noel feel better.

"Phew~ It's okay, I'm fine."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked ahead. "It's dangerous ahead. We need to be careful."

Sure enough, just as she said, there was a reason why it was so hot up there. Beneath the stone bridge ahead was scalding lava.

Heat continued to rise. Noelle held a rock elemental in her hand, just in case, and pulled Wu Qiu forward little by little.

The ground below wasn't high, but that was the real danger; the temperature was ridiculously high, and Wu Qiu felt like the air itself was burning. Taking a breath almost set his throat on fire.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will hold your hand."

Noelle's voice rang out from ahead. He looked up and saw her smiling at him. Wu Qiu was deeply moved. What a wonderful girl! Whoever married her would be so happy.

Just as I was thinking this, an unexpected event occurred. Suddenly, a section of the stone bridge in front of me flipped over, revealing something underneath that looked like a cannon.

Wu Qiu recognized the thing; it could breathe fire. But clearly, things here wouldn't be that simple.
