The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Chapter 64: Girl Qin's Melancholy and Decision

The layout of the entire Mondstadt is very ingenious. This free city-state seems to be built on a stepped terrain. From the city gate area to the West Wind Church and the statue of the God of Wind, the terrain rises layer by layer. The flat stone steps push the buildings of Mondstadt away from the sea level, and the height difference implicitly divides Mondstadt into different areas.

In his previous life, Luo Mu greatly admired the design ideas of Mondstadt's layout. Such terrain complemented the style of Mondstadt's houses and emblem decorations, revealing a mysterious sense of "free order" everywhere.

But now, this design has caused a lot of trouble for Luo Mu and his companions. Since the terrain is gradually rising, there must be a lot of stairs, but I don’t know if it was a design omission during the initial construction, or if they didn’t plan to build them at all. In this country with a lot of stairs, there is not even a ramp for wheelchairs and other wheeled means of transportation to go up and down!

The Knights of Favonius are located at the second highest point in Mondstadt, only slightly lower than the area where the church and the statue of the god of wind are located. There are at least several thousand steps along the way, if not tens of thousands, and wheelchairs cannot go up these steps.

So Jellos and his companions could only carry the wheelchair and arrange for someone to carry Luomu to the Knights of Favonius.

This is where the problem lies: Who will hold the baby?

Logically speaking, Luomu is a boy, so Bennett and Jellos should be responsible for this task, but Luomu is too beautiful, and... the prototype of Luomu's body, Rimuru's figure is actually a neutral, soft and slender type, which seems not suitable for young men like Bennett and Jellos. For example, the moment Bennett took over Luomu, his body suddenly stiffened. His abnormality was too obvious, Fischl glared at him, and Bennett was embarrassed and sweating.

In the end, everyone decided to put Luomu on Jellos's back. Although his physical strength was not very good, he had no problem carrying the light Luomu on his back.

This made Luo Mu very anxious.

Oh no, have you ladies never thought of carrying me on your back? He complained in his heart with great regret.

But he would never say this, otherwise this newly established great personality would be shattered into nothing but vulgarity...

As he walked along the way and looked at the scenery and people of Mondstadt, Luo Mu felt more and more that Captain Qin's ability was extraordinary.

Mondstadt had just experienced the chaos of the Fatui and the Abyss Cult, but the residential and commercial areas did not seem to have suffered major damage. At least Luo Mu did not see damaged houses and displaced civilians. Instead, there were many scorch marks that could not be completely erased in the open area at the fountain and on the stairs leading to the upper city. This shows that when the civil strife just broke out, the Knights of Favonius responded quickly, forcing the rebels from various places away from places with many civilians and fighting in open areas. Although Barbatos' help was indispensable, it also indirectly confirmed that Captain Jean cared about the people of Mondstadt and had strong decisiveness.

No wonder Lisa has such confidence in Jean...

The group walked and talked, and from time to time, women and children in plain clothes passed by the roadside. Although their eyes were still full of sadness, they still smiled and greeted Amber and others. Luo Mu saw a bouquet of white flowers on the counter of the Deer Hunter Restaurant. Sarah at the counter was still gently entertaining the guests.

Pain and suffering are like dust. In the wind of freedom, they have no right to stay in people's eyes. Luo Mu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

The few of them continued to move forward. Luo Mu was originally talking and laughing, making full use of his resume and experience of two lifetimes, making everyone laugh constantly. However, the closer they got to the Knights of Favonius, the more serious the expression on Luo Mu's face became, and the more subtle the smile on the corners of his mouth became.

This was not entirely because the Knights of Favonius had suffered a serious blow this time, giving the solemn building a layer of sad lace, but also because he needed to calm his heart. Although he could not say that he spoke differently to different people, but Qin must have something important to discuss this time with them. For this kind of situation, Luo Mu naturally had to treat it with his most calm and objective attitude.

Moreover, facing the meticulous acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, it would be easy to reveal flaws if he did not keep calm.

A few people came to the door of the Knights, and after Amber informed them, a tall and handsome knight welcomed them in. At Luo Mu's suggestion, Jellos put him back in the wheelchair.

Walking to a door, Barbara knocked on it with her fingers, and without waiting for a response from inside the house, she pushed the door open and let Luo Mu and the others in.

In the early morning sunshine, Luo Mu first saw the young ruler of Mondstadt, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius: Jyn Gunnhild. She did not sit in an armchair and wait silently as Luo Mu had imagined, but stood stiffly beside the table like an ordinary young girl.

Luo Mu couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's okay." Seeing Luo Mu's stiff expression, Amber comforted him softly, "Captain Qin is very gentle, you don't have to be nervous."

She didn't know that Luo Mu had only one thought in his mind at this moment:

These legs are so long!

Luo Mu doesn't like exaggerated figures, except for Captain Qin. What? You mean Eula, the Eightfold Son of Thunder God, Ningguang Jiujo Shala? Well... let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Qin smiled and pointed to several soft chairs that had been prepared long ago, just enough for one person. Luo Mu was unable to move, so he did not sit down, so Ying placed Paimon on the empty chair.

Paimon chuckled happily and gave Luo Mu a grateful look.

Seven chairs plus a wheelchair were crammed into the originally limited office of the Knight Commander. The already limited space could now be described as crowded.

"I'm really sorry, everyone," Qin bowed slightly apologetically, "I invited you all here when the chaos has just subsided, and you have to squeeze into such a small place." Qin sat back in her seat, tapping her fingers lightly on a small hardcover book on the table, making a crisp sound.

"The Melancholy of the Young Vera..." Barbara read the name on the cover backwards: "Captain Qin, this book..."

"Ah!" Qin was startled. She hurriedly put the book on the desk beside her: "This, I just... read it when I relax..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she had been discovered in something embarrassing.

Luo Mu turned around and exchanged a surprised and amused look with Ying and the others.

The room suddenly became quiet.

"Captain Qin, what is the purpose of your calling us here this time?" Paimon broke the eerie silence. She looked left and right, and finally asked curiously.

Qin took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She glanced at Barbara in a reproachful manner and said in a calm tone, "Except for Amber, all of you have directly experienced... that incident in the Wolf Territory. I hope you can describe to me in detail what happened, especially..." A fascinating light suddenly flashed in her eyes: "The part about Lord Wind God."

About the part about Lord Wind God? Luo Mu raised his eyebrows, and seemed to understand something.

"Captain, are you going to... put pressure on the Kingdom of Winter?" Luo Mu asked with a frown.

"Madam's behavior this time can no longer be explained by diplomatic means." Qin said coldly: "It is true that Mondstadt lacks mobile combat power, but if they do not respond to such a provocation, then the Knights of Favonius are no different from non-existent."

"If Lord Wind God is still okay, it wouldn't be a bad idea to declare war on the Kingdom of Winter if possible!"

Even the youngest lion has fangs and claws, and since the Fatui dare to challenge the order and stability of Mondstadt, the Lionfang Knight Jyn doesn't mind biting it hard.
