Genshen: Starting from Liyue, he is equipped with the seals of the Six Kingdoms

Early the next morning, Niyu quietly left the caravan and rushed to Mondstadt alone.

It would take time to obtain information about the Fools' Transport Team. During this time, he could just go to the Knights of the West Wind.

As we all know, Teacher A, whom Niyu needs to consult, usually huddles in the Longji Snow Mountain to do research. Even if Qin is willing to help, she still has to try her luck when meeting Teacher Ah.

However, according to Diluc, the chance of meeting Abedo in Mondstadt these days should be much higher than usual.

There is no other reason, the Badminton Festival is coming soon.

As one of Mond's biggest festivals, the Badminton Festival is almost equivalent to Mond's National Day.

During the Badminton Festival, the people of Mondstadt will organize all-night carnivals that last for several days, and use alcohol consumption that is equivalent to a month's normal to praise the wind god and the free city-state.

As the core of this carnival, Mondstadt is naturally the most lively place.

Some residents who live far away even arrive near Mondstadt several days in advance. The hotels in the city were full, so they stayed overnight on farms on the outskirts of the city, or camped directly by the Cider Lake.

One can imagine how much pressure Mondstadt must face at this time of year.

In previous years, the Knights of the West Wind would have dispersed all their combat units early and cleared the vast area from Wangfeng Mountain to the north, Yingxiang Beach to the east, Dadaupa Valley entrance to the south, and Mingguan Gorge to the west to avoid Monsters attack the celebration.

However, with Grand Captain Falga leading the expedition, the remaining strength of the Knights of the West Wind was completely insufficient to support such a large-scale cleanup work. They could only barely ensure the safety of the Whispering Forest to the Land of the Wind, and even had to request Leghenfen The De family sent troops to protect the trade route between Qingquan Town and Chenxi Winery.

In this state, it is naturally impossible for the deputy captain and acting captain Qin to allow his fish monsters to continue to be undisciplined. It is estimated that even Lisa will be assigned patrol tasks.

Therefore, Abedo will most likely be forced to stay near Mondstadt during the badminton festival.

Mondstadt is located on a small island in the Cider Lake. It is surrounded by water and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Only the main entrance in the southeast of the entire city is connected to the land through a stone bridge.

In addition to the land route, there is also a small terminal outside the city's north gate, which undertakes some freight functions.

The Badminton Festival is approaching, and the entire city is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. What’s even more exaggerated is the east bank of the Cider Lake outside the city. A large number of tents are lined up along the post road, stretching for ten miles!

Fortunately, the Knights of the West Wind have rich experience in security maintenance. Even with limited manpower, they have still set up camping areas along the road, divided into tent setting areas, sanitary areas, and picnic areas, and also established fire isolation zones between camping areas. .

Due to a shortage of manpower, the Knights even temporarily hired a large number of civilians to perform security maintenance work.

Fortunately, the people of Mondstadt are quite experienced in hosting badminton festivals. This was not the first time for many of them to camp. Even though there was no Zephyr Knight guarding the scene, everything was still in good order.

Stepping into the city gate, Niwa found that the city of Mondstadt was also joyful and peaceful, and the smell of flowers and wine permeated every corner of the city.

In this early summer season, everyone was smiling and moving lazily, enjoying the delicious food and drinks after the summer harvest. Only the knights of the West Wind wearing armor and wearing coats of arms were hurriedly carrying out their respective tasks.

It seems that Falga's sudden departure has really stretched the Knights' manpower...

Niyu thought to himself.

As he walked, he suddenly discovered that there was a group of West Wind Knights wearing special coats of arms who seemed to be doing nothing.

Most of them just perform some patrol tasks in the city, and some of them have time to rest in the tavern and have a drink.

"They are the knights of the military police team, subordinates of Inspector General Ilok. This team is known as the knights who supervise the knights. They usually do not participate in combat missions and only maintain order within the knights." An informed citizen told Niyu.

Niyu was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a soft and pleasant voice coming from beside him.

"Hug...I'm sorry, please give me a moment..."

He turned around and saw only four or five large wooden boxes stacked together, and a lace-edged apron exposed under the wooden boxes.

He hurriedly moved half a step away, and then he saw the gray hair, rose tiara and half of the small face that were blocked behind the wooden box.

Isn't this Noelle?

The little maid of the Knights of the West Wind was a little shy when facing the stranger's gaze, nodded awkwardly, and then left.

Just after the maid left, Niyu suddenly noticed a figure wrapped in a black robe and followed him from a distance.

In his perception, the man in black's vitality was quite strong, and he seemed to be at the level of a debt processor.

Fools? What were they following Noelle for?

Niyu thought for a moment and couldn't think of a clue, so he could only move forward.

After climbing up the long stone steps, he finally arrived at the entrance of the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind. This is a square castle with the west wind eagle coat of arms carved in stone on both sides of the gate.

Compared to the bustling city, this place is surprisingly deserted. Except for a few West Wind Knights coming in and out, no one comes near at all.

The West Wind Knight guarding the door simply asked Niyu his purpose before letting him in. The lack of precautions made Niyu suspect that he was not entering a central organization that controlled a country's political power, but a certain chamber of commerce.

Soon, Niwa met Qin, the deputy captain and acting captain of the West Wind Knights and the contemporary eldest daughter of the Gunnhild family, in the not-so-spacious captain's office.

Qin was wearing a fitted knight's uniform, and her long boots and breeches made her legs extra slender.

Seeing Niyu come in, she first politely asked Niyu to wait on the sofa nearby. After reviewing the official documents at hand, she came to the reception area and poured him a cup of tea herself.

"Sorry, the Knights are short of manpower recently and are busy with official duties. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Niwa handed over the letters of introduction from Ning Guang and Diluc.

"I would like to ask the chief alchemist of your knights some relevant questions. Is it convenient?"

Qin smiled, "Albedo? I asked the Adventurers Association to send him a letter a few days ago. He should be on his way back to Mondstadt... Mr. Niwa, why don't you leave me an address and I'll get back to him when he comes back. Tell him."

Niyu nodded, stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore and I'll take my leave."

Jean politely sent Niwa out of the office.

Crisp footsteps sounded in the empty hall. Suddenly, a door nearby was opened, and a fiery red figure flashed out.

"Is Brother Abedo back?"

Niyu turned around and saw the little lolita with pointed elf ears clenching her hands into fists, looking at him and Qin expectantly with her big watery eyes.

He almost burst into tears at this expression!

Qin helplessly held her forehead and said: "No, Keli. Go back quickly."

The light in Keli's eyes suddenly dimmed, she lowered her head extremely lonely, turned around and prepared to return to the room.

This pitiful look made Niyu feel a little distressed, and he couldn't help but ask: "Captain Qin, did Keli make any mistakes again? Ah, I also heard that she will be imprisoned by you if she makes a mistake. …”

Qin helplessly shook her head and said: "Not this time. This child... is a bit special. The Knights are very short of manpower these days. I really can't find anyone to take care of her, so I can only temporarily ground her until Abedo comes back." Let him take care of it.”

Niyu suddenly understood.

Now is the badminton festival, and there are people everywhere in and around the city. Qin is afraid that Keli will accidentally bomb someone and cause irreparable consequences.

He looked at Keli's lonely back and suggested, "How about you let me take care of this child for a while first?"
