My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

"Hmm, I've rested and fully recovered my strength. Now, let me begin today's patrol to check on the monsters that are attempting to do foolish things."

Fischl spoke fluently in a language that the other members of the Adventurers' Guild usually found hard to understand. After getting up, she glanced at the sky outside the window, straightened the folds in her clothes, and left the room.

Fischl had rarely rested in the Adventurers' Guild's lounge, and naturally, she wouldn't choose to take off her clothes and sleep peacefully in this unfamiliar place.

When you wake up, you often need to warm up. After quickly washing up, Fischl prepared to take on a mission and get some exercise.

"Dangerous transport phenomena, hmm, let's choose this one."

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild's lounge in Mondstadt and asking Catherine about it, Fischl pointed to a quest and said this.

"This mission is quite dangerous, so there are some prerequisites, namely that it requires a team of four to take it on."

Catherine quickly responded, and Xia Qing, posing as Xi, a scholar from a foreign country, arrived at Catherine's side.

"Welcome to the stars and the abyss..."

Seeing Xia Qing walking directly towards her, Catherine began her usual introduction, but before she could finish, Xia Qing's voice rang out:

"Although the location was a bit hard to find, we found it after some time. Now that we've dealt with those Hilichurls, are there any other quests in the Adventurers' Guild that are close to Mondstadt?"

As she spoke, Xia Qing turned her gaze to Fischl, who seemed to have finally woken up after being disturbed by her last night.

"My name is Fischl, the ruler of darkness and desolation, the new emperor who will eventually reign over the Pure Land of Dark Night, the controller of the anti-life equation."

Humanity, are you not a witness to the Pure Land of Dark Night?

At this moment, Fischl struck a pose that was already all too familiar to him, and while speaking, he looked at Xia Qing, preparing to trick this passerby into joining the temporary team.

Chapter 629: You must be the famous Knight of Honor?

Fischl eventually found three helpers to complete the retrieval, and after they had been traveling for some time...

"Phew, Paimon, how much further? I really can't walk anymore."

On the grass some distance from Mondstadt, Ying asked weakly.

"Traveler, we haven't arrived in Mondstadt yet, so we can't rest now!"

Paimon's voice rang in Luminosity's ears, and Luminosity muttered to herself, "If only I had just obediently returned to Mondstadt with Diluc."

After inquiring around Liyue for a long time, Ying finally learned Diluc's current whereabouts from Venti, who had gone to Liyue for tourism.

And then there's Abedo, who disappeared after the last time he saw the immortal ceremonies, and it's unclear what he's up to now.

"Hey, there seems to be someone over there."

Paimon saw two figures in the distance and spoke up to warn them. Upon hearing Paimon's voice, Luminous, feeling utterly exhausted, looked up ahead.

"That's...Fischl?"

Although the distance was too far to see clearly, the person closest to them could be roughly identified by their clothes. The others were not clearly seen because they were blocked.

"It seems so."

Paimon said this to Fischl, while at that moment, some distance away from the two of them, four figures were attacking a hot air balloon together.

Flames clung to the one-handed sword, lightning crackled across the wooden bow, and drops of ink shot straight into the sky, while frost-like vapors pierced the target.

Under the combined attack of the four, the hot air balloon was quickly shot down, and Ying regained her senses after hearing the explosion.

"Fischl~"

Ying perked up and ran towards that direction. Just as she was about to arrive, Paimon's enthusiastic voice rang out. Upon seeing another figure among the four, Ying's expression instantly turned wary.

"Miss?"

Appearing not far from her at that moment was the seventh seat of the Eleven Executors of the Fools, the lady.

"You are... oh, the traveler who repelled Dvalin?"

After a moment of recollection, Ms. Ying finally remembered where she had seen this blonde girl before, while Xia Qing, who was using the identity of tide in the group, had a bright look in her eyes when she saw Ying:

"You must be the renowned Knight of Honor?"

Eh?

Hearing tide's words, Ying was slightly taken aback, while Paimon's tone was slightly excited: "Wow, I didn't expect Ying to be so famous now?"

Ying looked at Xia Qing and replied, "That's right, I am Ying, the honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius."

“Excellent, Your Excellency Knight of Honor, there is something I wish to ask…”

Xia Qing watched as Ying immediately responded before she could finish speaking, and Ying, before Xia Qing could even finish her sentence, reflexively asked:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

As expected of an honorary knight, his awareness is truly high.

Looking at Ying Xiaqing, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. She never thought that she would have her lines stolen and her thoughts spoken.

???

Ying, who had just asked the question, suddenly realized that something was wrong. Wait, why did she ask that question directly?

No, Noel is actually myself?

Hey, this guy looks so familiar. Oh right, isn't he the scholar who called himself Qing that I met when I came to Mondstadt?

At this moment, Xia Qing answered Ying's question without hesitation, saying, "Actually, I want to ask Your Excellency, the Knight of Honor, to help me investigate something."

Ying asked curiously, "Eh, what is it?"

"Well, I have a friend who has an idol named Amber Strong."

Upon hearing this, Paimon, devoid of any survival instinct, instinctively replied, "Hey, Paimon, I've heard that people often recount embarrassing experiences that they're not comfortable talking about, pretending to be friends."

"Sir, is the friend you're talking about really yourself?"

Paimon's complete lack of will to live made Ying rub her forehead in exasperation: "Paimon, there are some things... that can't be said."

"No, no, no, he's really just a friend of mine."

Xia Qing shook her hand, trying to explain, while Ying nodded silently: "Yes, we all understand. So, what does your friend want with Amberstrong?"

After hearing this, Xia Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "My friend didn't mean anything by it. He just wanted to broaden his horizons and see Amberstrong's moon landing technology."

But the problem now is that my friend can't find Ms. Amberstrong, who is renowned in our academic circles, in Mondstadt.

Upon hearing this question, Ying nodded: "I understand, Ms. Amberstrong, right? I'll investigate for you when I get back to Mondstadt."

Hearing this, Xia Qing showed a relieved expression: "That's great. If it's a famous honorary knight, we'll definitely be able to find traces of Senior Amberstrong."

Asking for help for no reason doesn't align with my values. I don't have much Mora, so I'll use this as payment.

After saying this, Xia Qing reached into the pocket of her black trench coat and took out a small box while the three people beside her were looking on in bewilderment.

"Wait, how did you do that? There's no place to put the box there."

Bennett, who had previously planned to infiltrate Fischl's team on a mission, sounded somewhat surprised, while Xia Qing calmly explained:

"As a scholar who has traveled to many countries, it's quite normal for me to also be a cultivator and know a few immortal spells."

This effect was achieved with slight modifications to the "Heaven and Earth in the Immortal Pot" and "Universe in the Sleeve," and is hardly worth mentioning.

Hearing Xia Qing's words, the lady showed an unexpected expression. It seemed that this foreign scholar knew quite a lot. Celestial magic... some kind of technology from Liyue?

I originally came here just to have a private talk with Fischl, but I never expected to run into such a talented person.

This person is very knowledgeable and should be used by my foolish masses.

Speaking of which... when did Fischl send them away to start their private talk? When he pulled me out of the Adventurers' Guild earlier, wasn't it supposed to be to discuss something in Mondstadt that shouldn't be discussed in the wild?

The woman who was recruiting men after Fischl saw her Eye of God while passing by the Adventurers' Guild thought to herself, she had never imagined that Fischl was only looking for her to make up the four people.

"This is?"

Looking at the small box in front of her, the well-informed Ying asked with a puzzled expression, "What's this?"

Xia Qing quickly answered Ying's question: "These are the thirty 10-pull recruitment vouchers I snatched from the Doctor. With them, you can forcefully exchange for limited operators."

There were no entanglements with the Doctor, so I could only grab some exploration permits, which were practically useless in this world.

Chapter 630: The Scarecrow and the Young Master

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ying looked bewildered, while the woman's voice rang out softly, "You just... used the title 'Doctor,' right?"

Xia Qing nodded calmly at the woman's words. Looking at Xia Qing's composed expression, the woman looked somewhat puzzled: "You've met a doctor before?"

Wait, you took something from him... how did you survive?

Xia Qing was quite frank about this question: "The evil doctor of the Tower of Babel is indeed very strong, but I am not weak either."

Traveling alone in Teyvat without any self-defense tools or the like is a very unwise choice.

Although I escaped from that evil spirit, I was seriously injured.

But it was worth it. I still can't forget the look on the face of the guy who wanted to capture me for human experimentation when I took 300 of his cigarettes.

I reckon the Doctor's hatred for me, who stole 300 of his summons, has reached a point where he's ready to kill me.

Xia Qing said calmly, and the woman who heard this thought for a moment and said, "This world needs more heroes."

?

Wait a minute, ma'am, what are you saying?

Seeing the blank expression on Xia Qing's face, the woman continued speaking to herself: "The executive officer, Dr., is insane, has killed countless people, is extremely vicious, and has committed all sorts of evil deeds."

From plotting rebellion to conducting human experiments, I suspect the doctor has become so depraved that he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Ying looked puzzled upon hearing these words. Was there infighting among the Fools?

"We cannot ignore the Fools of tomorrow. The Doctor has gone mad. For a better tomorrow, let us go with him to bury the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel."

The lady turned to look at the people around her. At this moment, Fischl was slightly curious: "The evil spirit of Babel? I wonder if it is related to the anti-life equation that has submitted to me, the princess."

Ah, evil spirit lurking in the shadows, let the judgment of this mortal princess reveal your face, for your sins will...

Fischl started swearing again, just as the chief translator, Oz, suddenly appeared: "Miss means she needs more information about the Doctor."

Upon hearing this, the woman looked at Xia Qing and pondered for a moment before providing very little information. In fact, the doctor herself didn't know much about it either.
