I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 647

Wooden basins filled with colorful flowers were placed along the road, their leaves still glistening with morning dew.

Unlike the wooden houses in Liyue, the houses in Mondstadt are mostly built of stone and decorated with wood on the outside. The walls are covered with lush green vines, which make them look calm yet full of life.

Charlene seemed to still have some lingering fear of this place she had visited five hundred years ago, and kept clutching Xia Zhi's clothes tightly with both hands.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then simply reached out and took her hand.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Charlene relaxed considerably.

As Xia Zhi listened to her calling out "Dad" all the way and curiously asking what the roadside stalls were selling, it felt as if he were really taking his daughter out for a trip.

If you continue along the street, you will come to a small square with a fountain in the center, where clear water gushes out and flowers bloom.

It's a very beautiful sight.

Charlotte quickly took a picture with her camera and also took a few photos of everyone standing by the fountain as a memento.

The bottom of the spring is sparkling; it's full of Mora.

Amber said with a smile that people often come back here to throw coins and make wishes, hoping that the spring spirits can hear them and then grant their wishes.

The weather is very good today.

Several kittens were lazily sunbathing in the square.

Diona's eyes lit up, and she ran over to greet the kittens, petting them as she introduced them to everyone: "These are the kittens from Cat Tail Tavern, the one over there! I used to work part-time as a bartender at Cat Tail Tavern, and the owner was very kind to me."

The kittens remembered Diona's scent and weren't afraid of people. They squinted their eyes and let her pet them, making lazy, comfortable meowing sounds.

Diona then pointed to other shops next to the square and introduced them to everyone: "That's Mondstadt Department Store, where you can buy all sorts of groceries; that's Glorywind, where you can buy crafts and souvenirs, but the prices are quite high; that's the Deer Hunter Restaurant, which sells meat products. I used to think their cold meat platters were pretty good, but now, the owner's are still the best..."

Ying'er suddenly pointed in a direction and asked curiously, "Is that an alchemy platform over there?"

Amber glanced at it and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's an ancient alchemy table. I heard it was dug out from some secret realm a long time ago, but nowadays very few people use ancient alchemy. Sometimes Abedo and Sugar come here to experiment with ancient recipes... and some other people who are interested in ancient alchemy also come. Everyone usually calls them alchemy apprentices. The person standing next to the alchemy table is one of them. Oh, and there's also the Wings of Wind. It was made using the ancient alchemy table..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun couldn't help but take another look at the enormous alchemy table.

Ying'er turned her head and asked softly, "Boss, do you know ancient alchemy?"

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "I know a little bit."

He had previously purchased alchemy knowledge from the system's [shop], which was a systematic body of knowledge that didn't distinguish between ancient and modern times.

Ying'er's eyes lit up: "That's fantastic!"

Amber clearly didn't know the real meaning of Xia Zhi's "a little bit". She said seriously, "It's okay. I'll go to the Knights' laboratory to find Sugar later. She should be willing to talk to you."

Ying'er smiled and said, "That's fine too."

With the boss around, she only wanted to communicate with some alchemy masters, and then ask the boss for help if she encountered anything she didn't understand later.

As for alchemy apprentices, their abilities are too weak, so let's forget about it.

Ying'er glanced at the young man standing by the alchemy table, then looked away.

There's no way around it, the boss is just too charming.

She might not feel it very clearly because she only spends time with her boss on a daily basis, but once she's in a crowded place like this, she doesn't feel anything special when she looks at other men.

Ugh, not only the mouth, but even the eyes are shaped like the boss's.

Chapter 442 The Qin Troupe Leader (4K)

"Just as Liyue is protected by seven stars, Mondstadt is protected by four winds."

"Guardianship of the Four Winds..."

"That's right. The Wolf of the North Wind Knights, the Lion of the Dandelion (Lion Fang) Knights, the Eagle of the Favonius Knights, and the Wind Dragon of Dvalin have always been regarded as the Four Winds Guardians of Mondstadt. After Vanessa the Lion Fang Knight liberated Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius were established, and the North Wind Knights joined, the tradition of the Four Winds Guardians was formed in Mondstadt, while Dvalin is even older."

As Amber introduced the building, she led everyone to a huge structure.

Of course, she didn't notice that when she said the name Dvarin, Charlene's small body stiffened slightly, as if she were a little scared.

Xia Zhi gently squeezed her small hand to comfort her.

"This is the base of our Knights of Favonius!"

Everyone looked up at the place. It was a sturdy fortress, resembling a castle, with the special emblems and banners of the Knights of Favonius hanging on the walls on both sides. Several armored knights stood guard at the entrance, weapons in hand, watching the passersby with scrutinizing eyes.

Not far to the left of the fortress, you can see a large windmill, which is turning in the wind and making a whooshing sound. Green vines and brown mushrooms are growing on the outer wall of the mill.

Amber stepped forward and greeted her colleagues: "Good morning, everyone."

The knights guarding the entrance nodded slightly, and a friendly voice came from within their armor: "Greetings, Knight Amber."

Amber stepped aside, revealing everyone's figures to the guard knights, and explained, "These guests from Liyue have rather special identities, and I need to take them to see Jean."

The guards' gazes slowly shifted over everyone, as if to confirm whether they posed any threat to the Knights of Favonius.

The knights then nodded, stepped aside to make room for the doorway, and raised their hands in greeting: "Welcome to the Knights of Favonius."

Everyone politely returned the greeting.

Afterwards, Xia Zhi, Gan Yu, and Xia Ci followed Amber into the area.

Although Xia Lin didn't want to leave Xia Zhi, she obediently let go of Xia Zhi's hand and went outside to play with Ke Li and Yao Yao.

Klee led her two friends to one side of the building, pointed to a spot upstairs, and said, "Let me tell you, that's the scariest place here."

Yao Yao asked curiously, "Why?"

Klee whispered, "Because this is a solitary confinement cell... Klee is often ordered by Jean to be locked up here and not allowed to come out... She has to stay in there alone all day. It's so dark and boring..."

Yao Yao blinked and chuckled, saying, "That seems pretty scary."

Charlene looked up at the spot Claire was pointing to, her gaze unfocused.

Solitary confinement is terrifying...

Klee would find it dark and boring if she stayed inside all day...

But in that place high in the snow-capped mountains, it was just as dark, cold, and lonely, and I had been there for 500 years...

Claire waved in front of her and asked, "Charlene, what's wrong?"

Charlene snapped out of her reverie and said softly, "It's nothing..."

"Does she miss her dad?" Claire guessed.

Charlene paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm..."

"You've only been apart for a short time and you're already missing her? Keli hasn't seen her mother for three years..."

"So, does Klee miss her mom?"

"Sometimes I think about it!"

"Oh……"

"I wonder when Mom will come back, and what gift she will bring me?"

The little girls were whispering their secrets outside.

Inside the Knights of Favonius, the space inside this building is quite spacious.

The floor was clean and bright, covered with a soft, brightly colored carpet that felt comfortable underfoot.

As Amber led Xia Zhi and the others past, people approached and greeted her softly with smiles.

It's clear that Amber is very popular here.

As Xia Zhi walked through the corridor, he noticed a small, closed room with a sign that read "Solitary Confinement Room," which was probably used to punish people who had made mistakes.

"This is the Knights' office."

Amber lowered her voice and pointed to the door on the other side.

"The library is on the other side."

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "I've heard that your library has an extremely rich collection of books, and that's why we've come here. We'd like to borrow some."

“If Mr. Xia and your family only want to borrow a few books that interest you, I can help you directly. However, the number of books you want to borrow is too large, so I can’t make the decision on your behalf. I can only take you to see Director Qin.”

"It's alright, Miss Amber has already done us a great favor by introducing us."

Having an acquaintance to help you with something saves a lot of trouble, no matter where you are.

If Xia Zhi were to visit according to the normal procedure, who knows how much time would be wasted.

Amber smiled sheepishly, stopped in front of a door, and said softly to everyone, "We've arrived at the commander's office."

Then, she reached out and gently knocked on the door.

A young, crisp, yet charming voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Amber pushed open the door and smiled, "Commander Jean, it's me!"

The room contained several bookshelves, and behind a desk sat a blonde woman in a uniform. The woman looked up at the doorway.

"Amber, you're back. Where's Klee? Did you find her the day before? I asked you to look for her."

"I've brought her back."

"Did she go out and fry fish again?"

"Yes."
