I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

"It wasn't solved, it was 'suppressed'." Lisa corrected Keqing's wrong sentence and explained, "About half a month ago, with the help of the stranger and the poet, the Wind Demon Dragon was suppressed and returned to the Wind Dragon Ruins."

"We were originally planning to go to the Wind Dragon Ruins these days to completely solve this problem that has troubled Mondstadt for many years, but then this thunderstorm happened, so we had to put it on hold and investigate what happened after the thunderstorm first."

A magical poet, a stranger, and a zither band leader.

The last one will definitely work, but the first two don’t seem reliable no matter how you look at them.

"Are you so confident?" Keqing asked.

"Qin Ke is stronger than the last time you saw her. You'll know when you meet her." Lisa said with a smile.

It seems that Lisa's opinion on those two people is the same as Keqing's, but the difference is that she trusts Jean very much.

Yiqin has always been a steady character and strong strength, so it is indeed worthy of such trust.

But Keqing always felt that she was too optimistic.

"Okay, I know Xiaoqing is worried about our leader, so why don't you just burn the divorce letter for me?"

"I'm thinking about Liyue's safety. Your Grand Master is not here, and most of the Knights Templar's forces have gone out to kill monsters in the wild. If anything happens to Jean, or if something unexpected happens in the Wind Dragon Ruins, Mondstadt will be in danger, and Liyue, which is closely related to us, will also be in danger," Keqing replied.

"Yeah." Lisa nodded and said seriously, "Lady Keqing is not worried about Jean."

"..."

"Well, it's late. Xiaoqing didn't wait for Jean, so there's probably nothing to talk about. Go and have a rest. You only come here once every two years, but you're a real guest of Mondstadt." Seeing Keqing's somewhat deflated look, Lisa smiled.

Then she called out towards the door: "Noelle."

"To!"

In less than a second, the door was opened.

The silver-haired maid seemed to have been on standby for a long time.

"Noelle, please take Lady Keqing to the VIP lounge. Remember to serve her well."

Noelle bowed and said, "As you command."

"There's no need to be so formal. Lady Keqing and we are old acquaintances."

Noelle, who had been serious, was a little confused: "Ah, okay, okay."

After following the maid out of the Knights' headquarters, Keqing looked up at the starry sky. The thunderstorm had long passed and the sky was clear.

After all, the night sky of the Free City is a little less lively than that of Liyue.

(I hope my worries are unnecessary.)

"Lady Keqing, do you want me to get a coat?" The maid beside her saw that Keqing seemed to be in the mood to enjoy the scenery, and immediately asked softly.

Keqing shook her head: "No need, take me to my residence first."

"And just call me Keqing."

"Yes... uh, I mean, okay, Lady Keqing."

Chapter 7 7. The marriage certificate is missing!

Following Noel, Keqing walked out of the Knights' headquarters and headed towards a two-story house.

As a guide and the maid entrusted to take care of and serve Keqing, Noelle also fulfilled her duties and began to introduce where she would live.

"This is the Knights' special guest accommodation. It's very close to the Knights' and Deer Hunter's Restaurant. It's not only convenient for food and accommodation, but you can also come to the Knights' at any time if you need anything. There's a shop not far ahead. If you want to buy some souvenirs, that's a good place to go."

"Yeah." Keqing looked towards the fountain not far away and saw many vendors setting up stalls, even some foreign faces.

"Mondstadt seems to be a lot more prosperous than before."

Hearing Keqing praising Mondstadt, Noelle smiled shyly: "It's all the result of the hard work of Captain Jean, the Knights, and everyone else, but it's still not as good as Liyue Harbor."

Mondstadt is a big city, unlike the simple drawings that Keqing had seen in books when she was a child, which only had a few large windmills and a dozen houses.

Only when you arrive in Mondstadt can you feel the enormity of this city-state, which is equivalent to a small country.

As Noelle said, although it is not as big as Liyue, such a big city standing in the fruit wine lake can already be called a great achievement.

Keqing also knew some of Mondstadt's history and legends. She heard that it was thanks to the favor of the God of Mondstadt that the prosperous New Mondstadt by the water existed today.

Moreover, although their god has not appeared for many years, this has made the people here more resilient.

"I remember that I didn't see Noelle the last time I came to Mondstadt, did I?"

“Ah?” Noel recalled as he walked: “Are you talking about the year before last? I think I was in the Adventurer’s Guild the year before last. At that time, an adventure group was attacked by monsters and needed manpower to take care of them, so I didn’t see Lady Keqing.”

"That's it."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the Knights' VIP reception center.

After entering the room, Noel reported to the knight in charge of registration at the front desk, then led Keqing to the second floor and stopped in front of an exquisite wooden door.

Noelle gently pushed the door open, then stepped aside, placed her arms in front of her abdomen, and lowered her head slightly.

After thanking the respectful maid, Keqing walked into the house.

In addition to the necessary bed and wardrobe, there are two wooden tables and two chairs in the room.

In addition to pens and paper, there were also a few books on one of the tables, and tea sets and a plate of fruit on the other.

The floor was as smooth as a mirror, the bedding was neat and new, and even the towels used for wiping the table were neatly stacked.

You can tell at a glance that this room has been carefully cleaned by someone.

"Originally... with Lady Keqing's status, you should be arranged to stay at the best Goethe Hotel in Mondstadt, but the Goethe Hotel has been booked out recently, so we can only temporarily change to the Knights' Reception Hall. I'm very sorry."

Noel's apologetic voice came from behind.

Keqing shook her head: "It's already good here."

She was not a noble lady, nor was she here for tourism. She just wanted to have a bed and a good night's sleep.

Noel was relieved to see that Keqing was not angry or blaming him, and closed the door gently.

She walked to the table, washed the tea set, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of tea. Her movements were skillful and graceful, as if she had practiced them a thousand times.

When I picked up the teacup, I found that Lady Keqing had already sat down at another long table.

After getting closer, Noelle discovered that Lady Keqing was not sitting down to rest, but was writing something on parchment with a quill.

The shadow cast by the light fell on the table. Keqing tilted her head slightly and saw a maid standing beside her holding a teacup.

"Thank you. Please put it aside."

Seeing a hint of curiosity in the maid's emerald eyes, Keqing said as she wrote, "Draft treaty."

"Draft...of a contract?" Noel was a little confused.

"Hmm." After Keqing finished writing a paragraph, she looked at it and crossed it out.

"The new seal maintenance treaty between Liyue and Mondstadt was supposed to be drafted directly by me and your acting leader, but she is not in the city. I will make a draft first. Although I have written a draft before coming to Mondstadt, I think she will definitely not sign that one."

Is this one of the legendary negotiation techniques? Prepare multiple plans, test the other party's acceptance, and make concessions to the maximum extent in the hope of seeking the greatest benefit for yourself?

Noelle had heard Captain Qin talk about this before, so she knew a little about it.

However, it is rare to see someone like Lady Keqing who can handle official business as soon as she sits down.

In Noelle's impression, it seems that only Captain Jean is like this?

And looking from the side, Lady Keqing looks a bit like Captain Qin when she is writing seriously.

"Oh, by the way, Noelle, can you help me get some more paper?" Keqing asked, tilting her head.

Noelle came back to her senses and nodded immediately: "Oh, okay, no problem."

After the maid left, Keqing put down her quill and stretched.

There must be more than one draft of the treaty, and there was no rush to finish it in one night. She just wrote down the important points that came to her mind.

(Oh, that's the mission reward)

Now that she was alone, Keqing called out the system interface and saw the optional tasks that had been completed.

[Do you want to receive the reward? 】

"Yes."

There was a flash of white light, and a black sword appeared in Keqing's hand.

The hilt of the sword is black, and there are dragon-shaped patterns engraved on the blade. When you get close to it, you can faintly hear a subtle dragon roar.

"It is exactly the same as the Dragon Roar Sword in my collection."

Keqing looked at it for a moment and muttered to herself.

Then she thought about the system.

"Can you check the properties of this sword?"

In an instant, the attributes of the Dragon Roar Sword appeared in her mind.

【Dragon Roar Sword】

【Ordinary One-Handed Sword】

[Attack power: 381]

[Crit rate: 15.3%]

[It is said that the treasures of the dragon have lived in the dragon's nest for a long time, so they are tainted with a little dragon's breath]

According to the ordinary game knowledge obtained by Keqing during her trance, this blank sword without any special effects is considered garbage.

Of course, as one of the collections from her previous life, Keqing also knew that it was just an ordinary object. The reason she took the sword at that time was just as a clue to find the treasure dragon.

If the system rewards really came from her own collection in her previous life, then now it seems that she has polluted her own "card pool"?

However, due to the thunderstorm, she lost her sword and had no other weapons at hand. This blank sword had a good panel and could be used.

After putting the sword away under the table, Keqing picked up the cup of tea that the maid had just brewed and prepared to take a sip.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

(Such a speed?)

Keqing thought it was the maid coming back with the paper, so she said, "Come in."

But the person who opened the door was not a maid, but a man wearing the uniform of the Qianyan Army.

That is the Thousand Rock Soldier who came with Keqing.

Didn't she remember asking this Qianyan soldier to count the items and take care of his companions?

This Qianyan soldier looked as if he had seen a ghost. His expression was extremely bad, his hands and feet were stiff, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Keqing.

"Is there anything wrong?" Keqing asked, then turned around and looked at the draft she had just written on the table to see if there was anything missing.

"Report...Report to Master Yuheng."

Qianyanbing clenched his fists stiffly, then suddenly knelt down with a bang, stretched out his hands and began to slap himself violently.

"Don't talk about anything else. I have to continue working." Keqing said.

Hearing this, Qianyanbing immediately stopped, looked at Lord Yuheng's back, wiped away his tears, and then told the reason.

"Marriage certificate, Lord Yuheng, your marriage certificate, it, it..."

Keqing calmly held the teacup by its handle and asked, "What's wrong with it?"

"It's gone..."

Section 8 8. Your ears are gone!

Qianyanbing knelt on the ground, with his head against the floor, his eyes closed and his teeth clenched.

He was mentally prepared to face Lord Yuheng's tremendous wrath.

But, one second, two seconds, five seconds.

Not only was his head still there, but his body didn't even feel the slightest bit of pain.
