He changed Tiwat

It was Yura's voice.

Han Fulai remembered that he had made an appointment with Yura last night to visit the "Badminton Festival" together, after all, he was now Yura's "fiancé", right?

It was customary for noblemen and women to travel together during festivals, and they first had to "get into character," so today's "date" was like a rehearsal.

He opened the door, and standing outside was Yura. Today, she wasn't wearing her usual blue and white knight's uniform, but rather a noble lady's outfit with black as the main color. She wore a royal flower in her hair, royal feathers on her shoulders, and a large expanse of her snow-white breasts was exposed. The corset made her already slender waist appear even more delicate, further highlighting the girl's stunning figure.

Han Fulai's sleepiness vanished instantly.

Before he, the host, could extend an invitation, Yura walked straight into his room without any politeness, throwing the things she was carrying at him.

It was a beautiful blue ribbon.

“Wear this on your right shoulder when you go out today,” she said simply.

Han Fulai took the sash in his hand and examined it carefully. He discovered that a line of words was embroidered on it with fine gold thread:

"Auspicium melioris aevi" (Looking forward to a better future), and the three letters "CMG".

"What is this?" he asked, puzzled.

"This is the sash of a third-class honorary knight of Fontaine, symbolizing the blessing of the gods. The letters on the sash are the title and the proverb bestowed by the water god. Although I modified it from the knighthood's sash, it should be sufficient for my uncle. Those who have this medal are basically descendants of Fontaine nobles."

“I remember that your blank Eye of God can change your appearance. Make a medal and attach it yourself. The front of the medal has a portrait of the Mo Mang Palace, and the overall color is blue, which is based on the shape of the Eye of God of Fontainebleau. It is bordered with a gilded wave design.”

As Yura answered calmly, she naturally found a sofa in Han Fulai's room and sat down, crossing one leg over the other and resting it on a footstool, her posture very relaxed, as if this were her own dormitory.

Han Fulai expressed a question mark with his eyes.

The blank Eye of God that Zhongli gave him could indeed change his appearance. The fake Eye of God that Wendy made could even be turned into a lyre for singing. In fact, Han Fulai himself could easily use the power of the Salt God to carve a medal or something. It wouldn't be difficult at all.

But that's not the problem. The real issue is how Yura suddenly became so open-minded overnight? Girl, are you really going to just walk into a man's room like that?

Or is she already playing the "fiancée" role from now on? Isn't she getting into character a little too quickly?

Look here.

Yura pointed to herself, drawing Han Fulai's attention from her legs to her right shoulder. She also wore a blue sash on her right shoulder, from which hung her Eye of God.

"The etiquette of knights and nobles is inherited from the same lineage, only the former is more practical and simplifies the formalities. But in order for my uncle to believe that you are a descendant of nobility, you must master all these formalities. Fortunately, I have memorized hundreds of rules since I was a child, and now I can teach them to you..."

“Wait a minute…” Han Fulai made a “stop” gesture. “You know I’m not actually a nobleman… First, tell me, what is this ‘Third Class Honorary Lord’?”

“'Companion of the Order of Meilleur God' (CMG), the most beautiful consort of the gods, or simply the Order of the Gods,” Yura replied. “This honorary title is bestowed by Lady Funina, the water goddess of Fontaine, upon those who have made outstanding contributions to Fontaine. It is usually given to noble officials who hold important positions in the Fontaine government and their families. It is not hereditary, but it is very prestigious.”

Han Fulai roughly understood that this thing was like the "Annual Outstanding Civil Servant Award" selected by various departments in Liyue. People who could win this award had very strong backing and it was a symbol of status.

“Further up, there’s the Knight Commander of the Order of Meilleur God (KCMG), a second-class honorary title, and the Fontaine Grand Cross of the Order of Meilleur God (GCMG), a first-class honorary title,” Yura continued.

Han Fulai looked at the "CMG" on the sash and laughed, "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was an abbreviation for 'Call Me God'."

Yura blinked: "You know very well, don't you? That's what the nobles of Fontaine privately call the Third Class Order of the Lord. As for 'KCMG,' it means 'Kindly Call Me God,' while 'GCMG' means 'Furina Gently Calls Me God.'"

What kind of image does the Water God have in the eyes of the Fontainebleau people? Han Fulai, this fake Fontainebleau person, struggled to hold back his complaints.

"In short, from this moment forward, you are a noble knight of Fontainebleau, possessing noble blood and refined taste, fond of poetry and art, fluent in multiple languages, young and promising, and courteous... Hmm, your character should be a bit more fleshed out, let me think..."

Yura tilted her head and pondered for a while.

"...You should have an annual pass to the Opikley Opera, your favorite orchestra should be the Meloshen Philharmonic Orchestra, your favorite opera should be 'Night at Haimo Village,' and you should listen to 'The Epic of Erinus' and 'In Praise of the Judge' repeatedly, how about that?"

"I've never heard of it," Han Fulai said, raising his hand.

“It’s okay, I’ll sing it for you later, just remember the tune. Anyway, my uncle doesn’t really know anything about art.”

Yura pursed her lips and said, "By the way, why don't you think of a family name for yourself? You've lived in Fontainebleau for so long, you must remember at least a few noble names, right?"

Han Fulai recalled the Mondstadt merchant named Pharah he had met back in Liyue. At that time, Pharah had said in his broken Liyue language, "Mr. Humphrey, may the Anemo Archon deceive you!"

“Just call me Sir Humphrey,” Han Fulai said with a smile.

“Then, Sir Humphrey, would you please change into something nice that won’t embarrass your lady companion?” Yura said.

Han Fulai draped the sash over his shoulder and bowed slightly to Yura in a gentlemanly manner, saying in Fontaineble, "Oui, mademoiselle."

Chapter 174 Ultraman Barbara [4k]

A large stage has been set up in Mondstadt Square.

Behind the stage is the statue of the wind god, where the most important opening and award ceremonies of the "Badminton Festival" are held.

The head of the ensemble is now standing on the high stage, delivering the opening address of the "Badminton Festival" to the people of Mondstadt and foreign tourists below.

Her figure was as upright as an alder, and her voice was as clear as a musical piece; she showed no signs of fatigue from not having slept all night.

In fact, the knight's uniform she is wearing today is a descendant of her mother, Frederica Gunnhild, the current head of the Gunnhild family. Frederica wore this very uniform when she received the title of "Alder Knight" from the Order twenty years ago.

Jean only wears this formal dress, which symbolizes the heritage of the Gungnird family, on important occasions. It serves as a reminder to Jean to always be spirited and to inherit the Gungnird family's will to "protect Mondstadt forever."

The audience's gazes were filled with admiration and envy; the young acting head of the delegation's beauty and elegance always easily captured their hearts.

Backstage, Barbara, about to go on stage, clasped her hands in front of her chest and prayed to Lord Barbatos again and again for the success of her upcoming performance.

When her sister stepped off the stage, that was when she stepped onto the stage.

It was also because of her... that she was able to legitimately make her sister's attention stay on her.

Barbara and Jean are biological sisters who also inherited the Gunnhild bloodline. However, unlike their mother Frederica, the sisters did not inherit the Gunnhild family's signature black hair, but instead inherited the dawn-like blonde hair from their father Simon's side.

In addition, Barbara was also unable to obtain the surname Gunnhild.

More than a decade ago, before Barbara was old enough to attend Sunday school, her parents had already separated.

The reason her parents separated was ridiculous—it was to "prevent the Gunnhilds from becoming the next Lawrences."

...Perhaps this is due to Barbara's father, Simon Page, a former S-class adventurer renowned throughout the continent who was simply too capable.

He, a powerless adventurer, won the heart of the head of the Gunnhildr family, married into the Mondstadt family for her, and even changed his faith to join the Favonius Church for her.

As the saying goes, "gold always shines," and Simon Gunnhildr, the "son-in-law of Mondstadt," did not end his legendary life by leaving the Adventurers' Guild. In just a few years, he rose from the lowest-ranking monk to the position of Grand Master of the Church of Favonius, eventually becoming a Cardinal.

Thus, a situation unprecedented in a thousand years arose—both the Knights of Favonius and the Church of Favonius were controlled by the Gunnhildr family.

The last time Mondstadt's armed forces and religious power were both in the hands of the same family was back in the era of the Lawrence family's rule... Those who already had conflicts with the Gunnhildr family used this as an opportunity to put a lot of pressure on the Knights and the Church.

In order to demonstrate to all of Mondstadt that the Gunnhildr family had no intention of becoming a second Lawrence, Frederica divorced Simon and withdrew from the core of the Knights of Faith's power. Simon also left the Gunnhildr family and resumed his original surname, Paige.

Barbara and Jean could no longer rightfully call each other sisters—after all, they no longer even shared the same surname.

At that time, young Barbara could only hold her father's hand and look back every few steps as her mother and sister walked away.

Later, Barbara joined the Church of the West Wind, just like her father, and became a pastor beloved by the people of Mondstadt. When the Knights of Faith came to the church for worship, the two sisters would always meet across the altar.

However, whenever the sisters make eye contact, they start to look away from each other... Perhaps this similar awkwardness is evidence that the sisters' hearts are still connected?

So, occasionally, Barbara would feel lonely.

She longs to be like other girls her age, leisurely strolling through the streets with close friends and spending precious time with her family.

Such a small wish might be simple for others, but it was a luxury for her.

Parents are always separated by distance, and the reason they finally reunite is to follow Grand Master Falgar on an expedition. Family reunion is still so far away.

Barbara's excellent and busy sister is always tied up with work. Whenever Barbara wants to confide in her, she can't speak because her sister has so much work to do.

Barbara noticed her sister's exhaustion.

There's no way around it, Jean Gunnhildr is everyone's "Chairman Jean".

"But, if possible... could you give my sister back to me?"—This was Barbara's insignificant little wish.

A witch heard this small wish.

The witch told her, "Join the 'Teyvat Idol Group' and become an 'idol'! As an idol, you can rightfully receive everyone's adoring gaze, including your sister's!"

"Love...shaking...exposed?"

When Barbara first heard this unfamiliar word, her face was filled with confusion.

"Shouldn't people worship the seven gods of the world?"

"That's not all," Alice, one of the elder members of the Witch's Guild and a woman of many experience, said seductively. "You'll understand after you see this."

In short, from an "idol magazine" brought back from who-knows-where, Barbara learned that there was such a thing as a job where the job was to try to be loved by everyone.

Outstanding idols not only bring joy, but can also heal people's hearts through their singing and dancing.

It sounds like the jobs of idols and pastors are quite similar.

So Barbara became an "idol trainee." She worked from dawn till dusk every day, devoting all her spare time to practice, repeatedly practicing new songs while keeping the beat... Later, she finally found her own joy in people's smiles.

Six months after becoming an "idol trainee," Iris told Barbara with a worried look that the "Teyvat Idol Group" plan seemed to have failed (or rather, she had only managed to fool Barbara, an innocent child)... But by then, Barbara's performances had already become quite famous in Mondstadt.

"Hmm... since I'm the only one left, then... I'll carry on the legacy of idols!"

With a small ambition, Barbara strives forward on the path to becoming a "Mondstadt icon".

She always remembered what Alice had said when she tried to persuade her—

"Becoming an idol will allow me to attract the attention of older women."

Han Fulai and Youla were also standing in the crowd of spectators.

Thanks to the formal attire Ningguang had prepared for him, Sir Humphrey, wearing his medals and sash, did indeed look like a young nobleman, at least not bringing shame to the noble ladies with their arms around him.

However, in his own words, he felt like he was "squeezed into the clothes," and this dress was much more uncomfortable than the one he wore when he went on a date with Ningguang.

He was now wearing a bowler hat, not for sun protection, but because nobles were required to wear hats when going out, and he also wore black gloves. He had to remember to only lightly touch the brim of his hat when greeting people, and not to remove his hat when meeting those of lower status, unless he wanted to express friendliness…

According to this rule, the only people in the entire Mondstadt city who could make him take off his hat are probably Jean, the nobleman in a high position, and Lord Diluc... Venti? That guy is just a street performer; noblemen shouldn't even give him a second glance.

But this hat is really hot to wear during the day.

The black swallowtail coat of the formal suit was very long and would be very hot to wear in the summer. If he were still an ordinary person, he would probably be covered in sweat by now.

What's even more disheartening is that stiff, cardboard-like shirt. It's certainly very crisp and tailored, making a man look both smart and handsome—but that also means he can't bend over or make any large movements, as that would ruin the shirt...

He couldn't even let his shoulders slump slightly because the clothes didn't allow for much freedom of movement.

Why do nobles need servants to surround them? Probably because if they lose their wallets, they can't pick them up themselves. Oh, right, nobles don't carry their own wallets.

Han Fulai believed that wearing such clothes could only mean two things—"I don't have to work" and "I have someone to serve me."

Yes, it certainly has a very aristocratic feel.

Yura also wore a top hat covered with a light veil, obscuring the upper half of her face—admittedly, it was traditional attire for a noblewoman, but Han Fulai thought Yura probably didn't want to be recognized by the Knights' acquaintances—at the same time, he felt that this concealment was no different from "burying one's head in the sand," as the Lawrence family crest on Yura's clothes completely exposed her…

Many people in the crowd who came to watch the ceremony were also looking at the pair of people with curiosity, guessing their identities.

On stage, Jean had already finished reading the history of Mondstadt's founding and the gratitude to the Anemo Archon, as was customary. She was now reading the list of knights who made outstanding contributions to Mondstadt during the "Dragon Plague" and "Meteor Shower," and Yura Lawrence's name was prominently listed.

However, Yura herself, who was being honored, did not feel any joy at all; in fact, she didn't even pay attention to what Qin was saying.

She was secretly pinching the soft flesh on the inside of Han Fulai's elbow while whispering her lesson on aristocratic etiquette: "Don't lower your head, your back and neck must be straight, your chin must be parallel to the ground, and the gaze of an aristocrat must always be held high and looking straight ahead!"

Han Fulai gave a wry smile. His occupational habit as a secretary made him always want to take notes when he heard his boss speaking on stage...

A few minutes later, Master Jean finished her speech: "...On behalf of the Knights of Favonius, I hereby announce to the residents of Mondstadt and all the guests that the annual 'Badminton Festival' celebration has officially begun!"

With a series of "bang" sounds, several round objects resembling badminton shuttlecocks were thrown into the air by the knights standing on the top of the church—Han Fulai discovered that those shuttlecocks looked very much like the "bouncing bombs" he had seen in Timaus's laboratory.

Sure enough, a moment later, the spheres burst open, and many colorful little animal figures with big tails and big ears appeared in the sky.

Those were Klee's "Hot Bombs," "Accurate Bombs," and "Floating Bombs," which looked like badminton shuttlecocks, but were undoubtedly alchemical bombs inside. Jean confiscated all these things that might have been mixed into the festival and caused a bad influence, and had Timaeus repurpose them into festival fireworks... I guess you could say they made the best use of them.

Cheers and applause erupted from the crowd, with many whistling or throwing their hats into the air. Of course, Sir John Han Fulai could not engage in such impolite behavior.

Generally, Jean could leave after giving her speech, but today she didn't rush to leave. Instead, she found the seat that the Knights had reserved for her in the audience area. Giving a speech was just work; watching Barbara's concert was the real "festival." Of course, she also had to keep an eye on Klee.

Beside her, Klee sat quietly in a chair, probably admiring the special effects of the badminton bombs she had created. The images created after the fireworks exploded were the dolls Alice had given Klee, the little animals called "Dudu."

The curtain on the stage opened, and Barbara, dressed in a cute and playful sailor uniform and holding a round microphone, appeared in the center of the stage—well, the shape of this microphone looks a bit like "Dudu," which is obviously also Alice's masterpiece.

The audience erupted in cheers, clearly indicating that all the members of the "Barbara Fan Support Club" had arrived.

"Da, da da da da, da da da da, da—da!"

The intro to Barbara's new song begins.

The intro to this piece sounds so familiar… Han Fulai rolled his eyes. Since jazz musicians couldn’t lower their heads or prop their chins up with their hands, he could only try to recall it as if he were in a daze.

"This is a new song dedicated to Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, 'The Song of the God of Wind'!" Barbara's voice resounded throughout the venue.

The exciting melody gradually rose in pitch, and Barbara began to sing:

The companions by his side were dragons.
