I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

"Aren't you worried?"

"I am worried, but Captain Jean is so strong, she will definitely return safely." Noelle said, "Besides, Lady Lisa, Captain Kaeya, and Master Diluc are all very confident, so I just need to wait for Captain Jean's triumphant return."

Walking past a fruit stall, through the crowd in the square, and up the stairs, Keqing and Noel soon arrived at the headquarters of the Knights Templar.

After Noel explained their purpose to the knight guarding the gate, the knight looked embarrassed.

"Is it not possible?" Keqing asked.

"Well, it's not impossible." The knight touched the back of his head: "The adults are not here, so knights of our level do not have the power to issue the license."

This is troublesome.

Just as Keqing was standing there pondering whether she should just ignore the permission and go to the Wind Dragon Ruins alone, a figure walked over from a distance.

"Ah, it's Captain Kaeya." The knight straightened up immediately after seeing Kaeya.

"Hey, isn't this Lady Keqing? Noel, why are you bringing people sightseeing and visiting the Knights again?" Kaeya said with a strange look in his eyes after approaching.

Noelle stepped forward: "It's not sightseeing, it's like this..."

"Let me tell you." Keqing interrupted the maid and explained her purpose to Kaeya.

"Permit to go to the Wind Dragon Ruins..." Kaia stroked his chin and dragged the last word for three seconds before smiling: "Okay, I'll issue it for you."

"Lady Keqing, if you want to go and take a look, go ahead. Anyway, you won't believe what we say now."

"You also don't think there's anything to worry about?" Keqing asked puzzledly.

Kaiya smiled and said, "What's the point of worrying? If even Captain Qin can't help us, then we can only pray for the blessing of the wind god, right?"

Keqing was speechless.

Is it true that the Mond people generally have an optimistic gene blown into their DNA by their wind god?

These flags are all erected in the sky.

Two minutes later, Keqing walked out of the leader's office holding a piece of cardboard document.

The pass was finally obtained, but it was already noon.

Keqing did not waste time resting. In her opinion, the sooner she went to the Wind Dragon Ruins, the more first-hand information she could obtain.

What she was worried about was not only Qin's safety, but more importantly, whether the seal had changed due to the changes after the thunderstorm.

Once the seal is broken, the threat will not only affect Mondstadt, and this is where her responsibility as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue comes into play.

Two hours later.

In a canyon, two horses were running side by side.

After a moment of silence, Keqing turned her head and looked at the silver-haired girl: "Why don't you... go back?"

"I won't hold you back, Lady Keqing!" the maid said firmly.

Since Noelle said this, Keqing had nothing to say.

She was certainly not afraid that Noelle would hold her back, but she was worried about the danger ahead. As a maid of the Knights Templar, she had no reason to follow a Liyue guest into danger.

However, when leaving Mondstadt, the girl insisted that she come with her.

At that time, she even knelt on one knee and said in a very humble manner: Fulfilling the promise is the most basic duty as a maid, please be sure to meet her rude request.

Keqing couldn't refuse cruelly, so they came together.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any major danger along the way. Noelle did have some martial arts skills, and she was the first one to deal with some of the hillbillies on the road.

Suddenly, Noelle pointed to the front and said happily, "Master Keqing, look, that's the knights' station ahead."

Looking up, Keqing saw some spiked fences, a few horses tied to trees, and a few tents.

That should be one of the many teams stationed in the Wind Dragon Ruins.

"When we get there, we can take a break and have lunch." The maid gave a shy smile.

But suddenly, Keqing reached out and grabbed her horse reins.

"Xu."

The horses under the two men raised their front hooves and stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong, Lady Keqing?" Noelle looked confused.

There are no monsters around and no ravines ahead. Why did it suddenly stop?

"There's danger over there." Keqing frowned.

Danger?

Noelle followed Keqing's gaze and saw the same peaceful garrison.

But when she raised her head slightly and looked above the station.

But I saw a brown shadow falling from the cliff at a very fast speed.

Boom! It hit the ground with a bang.

With a loud noise heard in the distance, a large amount of dust and gravel were thrown into the sky, and the horses at the garrison immediately neighed and fled in all directions.

When the dust settled a little, Noelle's pupils suddenly shrank.

In the dust in the distance, a mechanical sound was heard, and a humanoid machine slowly stood up. A beam of orange-yellow light suddenly appeared from its eyes.

"That's... the Ruins Guard?!"

Why can we see the ruins guard here? !

Chapter 10. Sword Out

"Fran! Fran, how are you?"

"Cough! Cough cough! Damn it! My legs are trapped! Jeff, come and help me."

"Orson! Are you still alive? Orson! Say something, little brat!"

"Brother, I, I'm fine."

In the dust, the three knights gathered together following each other's shouts.

Jeff came to Farland, whose legs were pinned by a tree, and hugged the tree: "Orson, let's work together."

"One, two, three, get up!"

"How are you, Fland?"

With blood all over his face, Farand took a breath of cold air in pain: "I won't die for the time being."

"We, are we hit by a meteorite?" said the youngest knight candidate, Orson, in shock.

Before he could finish his words, a strange sound suddenly rang out from the dust around him that was like a sandstorm.

It was as if some kind of machine was started.

This voice reached the ears of the three people. The youngest Orson looked confused, while the oldest Fland's face changed drastically.

"Damn it! Quick! Find a place to hide!"

"Ah? Hide?" Orson still didn't quite understand what was happening.

Jeff looked up, beads of sweat already dripping down his forehead: "It's too late..."

Orson followed his gaze and slowly raised his head.

Soon, a huge black shadow was seen slowly standing up in the dust.

It seems to be - a person?

Then a dazzling orange-yellow light appeared from the head of the humanoid creature.

A gust of air rushed out from his body, and the clothes of the three people were blown by the air wave to make sounds like ghosts howling.

The gust of wind also blew away the dust in the haze, and the true face of the humanoid creature was finally revealed to the three people.

All three of them had their eyes wide open and their hands and feet were shaking.

"Ruins...Ruins Guard?"

Why are there ruins guards here?

As a team stationed outside the Wind Dragon Ruins, they only have three people, and only three people are needed.

The usual job is to clear out some debris to keep the transport route unobstructed. The strongest enemies are just some hillbillies and slimes.

I have only heard about them, but have never seen such a terrifying monster as the Ruins Guardian with my own eyes.

And most importantly, shouldn’t the ruins guards of the Wind Dragon Ruins have been sealed in together more than ten years ago?

The official knight team that maintains the seal is all deeper inside, and the three of them are just logistics personnel.

Faced with this kind of ruins guard that requires at least two standard knight squads and special planning to eliminate, the three of them would never be able to become an enemy of it.

The wisest thing to do now is to run, run quickly.

Fland looked at his numb right leg, suppressed the fear in his heart, and shouted to his two teammates who were still in a daze.

"Jeff, Orson, run!"

Jeff came to his senses and immediately understood what he meant. No matter how it appeared, the ruins guard had already awakened, and the surrounding grass and trees had long been flattened by the huge shock wave. It was absolutely impossible to avoid its sight now.

The only chance of survival is to take advantage of the gap when it locks on someone and find an opportunity to escape and find the main force.

And Fland was to be the bait.

"Om..."

At this moment, the activated ruins guard made a mechanical sound, took a step, turned around and walked towards them.

"Brother Farand!"

"Get out of here, you little bastard!"

The youngest Orson was still hesitating, his heart filled with fear, but looking at Flander who was not afraid of life and death, he gradually grew up with courage.

How can I retreat! I am the Knight of Favonius!

Just as Orson was gathering up the courage to rush forward to save people, he was suddenly lifted up by someone.

"Jeff! What are you doing?! Put me down! Brother Flander…"

"We have to find the patrol!"

"Put me down now! Jeff, are you going to betray Big Brother?!"

"Wake up! We can't save him!"

Jeff's shout shut Orson up.

They don't have the strength to do so, and going to rescue them will only result in the loss of two more lives.

Orson looked at his elder brother Farland, who had raised him from a kid to where he is today, and his heart was filled with despair.

And Fland, who was lying on the ground, also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jeff carrying Orson away.

It is certainly worth it to exchange one life for two lives. Farland reached out with trembling hand and pulled out the dagger on his waist.

But at this moment, the ruins guard who was walking towards him suddenly stopped.

Farand frowned in confusion, but when he saw the ruins guard turn his upper body and slowly squat down, his face changed drastically.

"Jeff! Look! The ruins guard has stopped!"

At the same time, Orson's hopeful shout from the other side made Jeff slow down and turn around.

"Is it broken?!"

Before Orson could finish his words, he and Jeff saw a beam of light shooting out from the eye-like thing on the back of the ruins guard.

In an instant, a huge red mark appeared on Jeff and Orson's bodies at the same time.

This is……

The light that had just ignited in Orson's eyes was covered by the two flames shot out from the ruins guard.

Two huge objects that looked like cannonballs flew towards them rapidly.
