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

Although Qin wanted to leave for Liyue that day and finalize this package agreement as quickly as possible, as the head of the West Wind Knights, she still had tons of things to arrange before leaving.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the celebration ceremony the next day.

Originally, Qin felt that holding such a ceremony was a waste of time, but Niyu persuaded her to change her mind.

"After experiencing such a catastrophe, Mondstadt people need such a ceremony to restore their confidence."

After several days of cleaning, the traces of the war in Fengshen Square have been almost eliminated.

Tens of thousands of Mondstadt residents gathered here, and even the rooftop where the Statue of Wind God could be seen nearby was filled with people.

Qin presided over the ceremony as the acting leader of the Knights of the West Wind and awarded medals to the knights who had made meritorious service.

The knights all held their heads high and proudly accepted their honor. The deceased soldiers were also attended by their family members or comrades-in-arms, which added a sense of sadness to the ceremony.

Bennett, Fischer and other members of the Adventurers Association who participated in the defense of the West Wind Church received the Medal of Freedom for civilians.

The happiest person was Noelle. She finally got her wish and was personally awarded by Qin and became an official knight of the Knights of the West Wind.

The most unexpected one was Amber, who was promoted to captain at the age of less than twenty and was responsible for leading the reorganized Scout Knight Team. This achievement is almost comparable to that of Diluc, a rare super genius in the history of the Knights.

When Qin put the captain's badge on her chest, Amber was so excited that she almost cried on the spot.

Kelai, who was watching the ceremony, was even more excited than she was. His slaps turned red, and Niyu almost couldn't hold her back.

At the end of the ceremony, the highlight was Niyu.

Qin personally awarded him the title in the name of acting captain and officially announced the change of Dongfeng Guardian. At this point, all the guardians of the four winds are humans, and mythical creatures have completely withdrawn from the historical stage of Mondstadt.

In addition to the title of "Dragon of the East Wind", Niwa also received the title of knight.

In the Knights of the West Wind, being titled a knight is a very rare honor.

For example, Keli is called the Spark Knight, and Yula is called the Spray Knight. These are not real "titles", but just nicknames for comrades or the public, and cannot be passed down.

For thousands of years, the Knights of the West Wind have only had two titled knights in total, namely the "Knight of the Dandelion (Knight of the Lion's Tooth)" and the "Knight of the North Wind" who take turns serving as the leader.

Regarding the name of the title, most people in the Knights believed that based on Niyu's heroic deeds of surrendering Tevalin, the title should be designated as "Wind Dragon Knight" or "Subduing Dragon Knight", but Niyu rejected them.

The former made him feel as if he had some kind of super-friendship with Tevalin, while the latter made him feel a chill on his scalp...

The title finally selected was the relatively simple "Dongfeng Knight".

Originally, Qin wanted to invite Niyu to take up the position of deputy leader of the Knights, but Niyu refused very firmly. He is not even interested in the position of Liyue Seven Stars, how could he go to Mondstadt to promote the spirit of internationalism...

In the end, his position was settled as General Counselor of the Knights of the West Wind.

As for the consultant, if you can afford it, just ask him. He can still accept this.

Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people, he accepted the rush-made Dongfeng Knight badge - a dragon head shield.

Hundreds of knights raised their ceremonial swords and cheered for the Dongfeng Knight. Everyone felt vaguely that Mondstadt's new life seemed to have really arrived.

----------

The banquet after the ceremony was held at the old camp outside the city.

The survivors who had gone through the test of life and death drank wine and enjoyed the joy of victory.

Amber, the freshly-baked captain, became the target of everyone's siege. Even though she drank completely alcohol-free juice, she was still drunk.

On the other hand, Niwa, the Knight of the East Wind, everyone knew that he directly pierced the heart to take blood in order to save Diluc and Cole. At this time, he was so weak that he was panting when walking, so no one dared to drink from him.

Niwa was naturally happy to do so.

He walked around the camp carrying a glass of juice, only sipping a small sip when he was toasting to everyone, and he didn't finish half the glass in an hour.

Suddenly, he saw Yura sitting alone in the corner of the camp.

This heroic knight lady is now alone, her figure is full of loneliness, drinking glass after glass of wine alone.

Seeing Niwa approaching, Yula stood up unsteadily and wanted to salute, but she almost tripped over the wine barrel.

Niyu quickly helped her up.

The two sat side by side and looked at the lively crowd in silence for a long time.

"I want to give up the surname Lawrence." Yora suddenly said.

Niyu glanced at her, "If your surname is not Lawrence, what's your surname going to be?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as I have your last name."

"Haha, these words make me excited...Do you still want to change your nationality?"

After another period of silence, Niyu spoke again: "I don't recommend you do this."

Youla raised her hazy drunken eyes and looked at him, and asked in a cold voice: "Why? Do you think this is a sign of cowardice? You have no idea what this surname represents!"

Niyu calmly took a sip of juice and said quietly: "Let me tell you a story. In an ancient country, there is an ancient family. This family has served the country wholeheartedly for generations, and has been married to the royal family for a long time. They are respected from top to bottom.”

"Until a generation of kings was incompetent, but the family leaders of that generation were extremely capable. So under the strong demand of the people across the country, the family leaders of that generation took over the crown and replaced the royal family as the ruler."

Having said this, he looked at Youla, "What do you think the future of that kingdom will be like?"

Youla curled her lips, "A leader recognized by everyone will naturally make the country prosperous."

Niyu smiled and shook his head, "No, the result was exactly the opposite. The rule of that family leader made the whole country miserable. In the end, he was overthrown by the people after only ruling the country for fourteen years, and he was killed by the angry people."

Youla couldn't help but widen her eyes, and after a while she looked at him suspiciously, "I haven't read about this in any country's history books."

"Just think of it as a story from another world... The key question is, do you understand what I mean?"

"not understand well."

Niwa looked directly into Yura's eyes with his deep gaze, "Most ordinary people are short-sighted and blind, and the people of Mondstadt are even more...simple than ordinary people, and they actually believe that blood can inherit glory and sin... If this is true, The Lawrence family would not have been corrupted back then."

"This rebellion is likely to ingrain this naive idea in the hearts of Mondstadt people... You know, when everyone trusts one person too much, the result is the same as everyone hating one person too much."

Youla shook her dizzy head and thought for a moment before coming back to her senses, "Are you worried about Qin?"

Niwa solemnly said: "I believe in Qin, but who can guarantee that Gunnhild's blood will not deteriorate like Lawrence? If the Mondstadt people are used to trusting Gunnhild, just like they are used to hating Lawrence, then the next one Lawrence is probably Gunnhild.”

Youla snorted and turned her face to the side, "What does this have to do with me!"

"I hope you will persevere, win back glory and respect for Lawrence, and let the people of Mondstadt understand that blood is not everything, and sinners can also be reborn!"

"Since that Barbatos guy won't let us 'order' his people, then we can only 'educate' them."

"Changing Dongfeng Guardian will not bring new life to Mondstadt. Changing his brain will be enough!"

Niyu stood up, patted Yura's shoulder gently, and then slowly left, leaving her alone and staring at the dancing bonfire speechless for a long time.
