After resting for a day at the Dawn Winery, Tan Ningsu and the other two prepared to return to Mondstadt.

"It's quite degrading to stay in Master Diluk's house..."

There are maids to serve them in everything. If Master Diluk himself was not more accustomed to being independent, I am afraid that they would need someone to follow them even when changing clothes...

The life of the rich is really depraved!

Tan Ningsu stretched and said with emotion.

"Everything comes to me, and I enjoy life. Paimon loves this kind of life!"

Paimon held a different opinion.

"You talk like this isn't the life you normally lead..."

When had she and Ying ever lacked food and clothing compared to Paimeng?

Tan Ningsu rolled his eyes at Paimeng.

"Hehe~"

Paimon rubbed his head and smiled.

"What are we going to do when we get back?"

"Have a look first?"

"You can take commissions and make money when you have nothing to do?"

Tan Ningsu said uncertainly.

Some difficult commissions from the Adventurer's Guild, such as dealing with wild monsters, are not difficult for them, and the rewards are relatively high.

Only if we take on more can we support the three of them, including Paimon!

So, usually they are either accepting commissions or working on commissions.

Occasionally, when she wants to take a break, she walks around the city (and then runs into people who need help), or goes to the library to study and look up some information (Ying is looking for information about the disaster that happened five hundred years ago).

"Then let's go quickly. It would be terrible if the commission was taken away by someone else!"

When it comes to money, Paimon becomes active.

The three of them passed through the teleportation anchor point not far outside Mondstadt and soon reached the bridge at the city gate.

Then they saw the heavily guarded bridge and Amber who seemed to be on patrol.

"Ah, the knight of honor has returned triumphantly."

The sharp-eyed Amber quickly noticed the figures of Tan Ningsu and the other two.

"Hey, we've been through a lot with Tevarin."

Paimon, who had already learned from Master Diluk that Captain Jean publicized their heroic deeds after returning to the city, said without surprise.

"Amber, you just spoke in a slang way."

"'Triumphal' itself contains the meaning of 'return'. You just repeated yourself."

"But this incorrect usage may occur. I think people may think 'return in triumph' sounds more pleasing to the ear."

After Paimon finished speaking, Tan Ningsu pointed out the grammatical error in Amber's previous sentence.

"Eh?!"

"So that sentence was wrong..."

"It's like the fact that I'm not very good at studying has suddenly been exposed in front of you."

Amber said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay. After all, Amber is very good at hands-on work!"

"After all, no one is perfect~"

Tan Ningsu said comfortingly.

"Yes. By the way, you didn't come back yesterday, but Captain Qin returned to Mondstadt before you did and told everyone about your deeds!"

"Huh... Fighting against the legendary wind dragon, when will I have the chance to do so..."

Amber's depressed mood came and went quickly, and her tone at this time was slightly envious.

"I hope there won't be too many such 'opportunities'..."

Ying disagreed with Amber's words.

It is good to be famous, but before a hero becomes famous, ordinary people are harassed by "evil dragons".

"Ah... you're right. After all, peace is hard-won."

Amber realized that what she had just said was not right after being reminded by Ying. At least, as a Knight of Favonius, she should not have such thoughts, which was against the chivalrous code.

"However, this time it was thanks to you that the matter was resolved peacefully."

Amber said in a thankful tone.

"Hehe, you're welcome!"

Although Paimon spoke modestly, her proud expression showed that she really liked Amber's praise.

"By the way, Amber, were you waiting for us here or did you really just happen to meet us?"

Paimon turned around and asked.

"Well, although my mission this time is not to go on a war, I am not that free..."

"Look, I'm busy cleaning up the mess."

"So, meeting you guys is really just a coincidence..."

Amber pointed to the surrounding fortifications and said apologetically.

"Cleaning up? What happened in Mondstadt?"

Paimon was curious about what Amber said.

"Well...the monsters nearby took advantage of the fact that we were without Captain Jean's command and launched a general attack on Mondstadt."

Amber said after thinking for a moment.

"But fortunately, I discovered long ago that the Hillock tribe was migrating unnaturally towards Mondstadt."

Amber continued.

"When we first met, Amber, it seemed like you were clearing out the nearby Hilichurl camp."

Tan Ningsu recalled her first meeting with Amber.

"Correct."

"I reported this to Captain Qin after I returned to the city. Before leaving, Captain Qin also told everyone to be alert and prepared, otherwise Mondstadt would be in danger."

Amber patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"But why would the Hillilians..."

Paimon was puzzled by Amber's expression.

After all, according to well-known facts, the Hillichels shouldn't have this kind of brain, right?

[Is it the Abyss Cult that is behind this?]

Tan Ningsu looked at Ying.

[Well, it's probably them.]

Ying nodded.

"It's very strange. The Hillilchur people don't have the organizational ability to launch a general attack. So, we guess that the Abyss Cult is behind this."

Amber took over Paimon's words and gave the Knights' guess.

"what......"

"If we hadn't rescued Tevarin... then Tevarin would have been controlled by the Abyss Cult..."

Paimon said with some fear.

"He wouldn't allow that to happen."

Tan Ningsu spoke without thinking.

"he?"

Amber was curious about the "he" that Tan Ningsu mentioned.

"You mean Wen..."

"I mean Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind."

Seeing that Paimeng was about to let the cat out of the bag, Tan Ningsu quickly interrupted her.

"Lord Barbatos..."

When Amber heard Tan Ningsu's words, an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on her face.

"Indeed, Lord Barbatos would not watch Tevarin fall into the abyss."

Although she hadn't heard of Lord Barbatos for a long time, Amber felt that if Lord Barbatos heard that Tevarin was forced to join the Abyss Cult, he would definitely go and rescue it.
