One day, Jiang Mu was strolling around Mondstadt when he ran into Ying and Paimon.

By the way, since Seele has become an adventurer, in order to complete her daily quests, she took the initiative to suggest to Jiang Mu that they usually act separately.

“Captain is already very strong, he doesn’t need Seele to protect him anymore!” Jiang Mu still remembers the awkward expression on his face when Seele said those words.

Although it was something that couldn't be helped, Jiang Mu still felt a little... shy about being protected by a girl in the past.

"Next..." Jiang Mu recalled the plot; it should be that he would meet with Commander Qin again...

"What are you doing...?"

Jiang Mu looked at Ying and asked.

“Oh, we need to go see Master Jean,” Paimon replied immediately. “There are some things we need to ask her about.”

"What a coincidence!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu smiled. "I also have something to do with her, so... let's go together..."

"..." Ying paused for a moment, then finally responded with a sound of agreement.

"good."

………………

The two arrived at the entrance of the Knights Order and were about to go in when they heard the sound of a harp coming from the side.

"Hey, isn't that the leader of the ensemble?" Paimon exclaimed in surprise, but then hesitated, "She seems to be... talking to someone..."

"Hmm..." Jiang Mu and Ying both nodded slightly.

"Let's go over after they finish speaking."

………………

"So, this is our stance." Anastasia, the masked advisor of the Fatui, spread her hands and said arrogantly, "If we cannot immediately annihilate the rebellious dragons, we might as well hand over the defenses of Mondstadt to the Fatui."

"The dragon scourge in Mondstadt can be dealt with, as long as we get rid of that beast..."

"A beast?" Upon hearing this, Jean's expression suddenly turned serious, and she stared at the advisor of the Fools with some hostility.

"Oh, what does the acting leader mean?" Seeing that Qin was a little angry, Anastasia immediately softened her tone, but still spoke slowly.

"Hoo..." Qin sighed, forcing herself to calm down, crossed her arms over her chest, and said seriously.

"I hope your diplomats can show a more professional attitude. You want to 'deal with' one of Mondstadt's Four Winds Wardens? I don't want anyone saying such nonsense in front of the Knights of Favonius."

"Heh...hehehe..." Anastasia gently covered her mouth with her hand, "It's not as crazy as you say, is it?"

After laughing, Anastasia crossed her arms and said, "Very well, today's consultations are over. The result is that 'both sides exchanged constructive opinions frankly,' right? I will... record it truthfully."

After the two separated, Jiang Mu and the others stepped forward.

After a brief exchange of impressions of the person they had just met, both Ying and Paimon made no attempt to hide their aversion to the "Fools," which made Jiang Mu somewhat embarrassed.

After all, he and the Fools... can't be said to be completely unrelated...

………………

After entering the Knights, Jean led the group into the commander's office and also summoned Lisa, who was on duty in the library.

In front of everyone, Ying took out the corrupted Wind Dragon Tear. After discussion, everyone decided to entrust it to Ying for safekeeping. Jiang Mu thought for a moment and then took out his own tear and handed it to Ying.

"Although I don't know what it's for, I have a feeling that giving it to you is the best solution right now."

Seeing Ying's puzzled expression, Jiang Mu smiled and explained the reason, while inwardly complaining.

"Who else could I give it to if not you? I don't have the ability to purify this crystal."

Seemingly touched by Jiang Mu's trust, Ying hugged Jiang Mu tightly.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of it."

"Hmm..." After a moment of contemplation, Qin solemnly addressed the two of them.

"Then, Jiang Mu, and the Traveler, this is the Knights' second unreasonable request: please accept the title of Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius... and the Acting Grand Master's gratitude."

“The Knight of the West Wind…” Paimon exclaimed in surprise.

The ensemble leader nodded slightly and looked at the two of them: "Please help us once again to find the answers to these mysteries."

"The dragon's madness, and the strange crystals... I think the answer behind all this must be related to the peace of Mondstadt."

"May the wind cleanse your eyes and allow you to see the truth." Commander Qin placed her hand on her chest and smiled. "If there are any new discoveries, let's meet again here!"

"Wait!" Ying hurriedly waved her hand, "Last time... it was Jiang Mu who defeated Dvalin, I didn't contribute much, the title of Honorary Knight... should go to Jiang Mu..."

“Don’t back down…” Jiang Mu said with a wry smile, “I find it troublesome and don’t want to be an honorary knight, Commander Qin, could you…”

"No way!" Qin slammed her hand on the table, but after realizing she had lost her composure, she coughed lightly twice and said.

"Being a knight of honor is not just a responsibility, but also a reward for your contributions to Mondstadt. You shouldn't refuse..." As she spoke, the captain of the guild gave Jiang Mu a glare.

"Okay...okay then..." Jiang Mu shrank back, "I'll do as you say..."

The two people who were having a "friendly conversation" were unaware that the expressions of the other people in the room were looking at them strangely...

………………

Upon leaving the Knights, Paimon immediately headed towards the Fireway.

"There's something else you haven't mentioned! What we saw back then, besides the dragon and the crystal, there was clearly something else..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu immediately understood and turned to leave.

"You guys talk first, I..."

"No need." Ying grabbed Jiang Mu's arm and shook her head slightly.

“You’re not an outsider, so it’s fine for you to hear this.”

As expected of an experienced traveler, he instantly saw through Jiang Mu's thoughts.

As she said this, Ying looked at Paimon, hesitated slightly, and then spoke.

"I don't think... he doesn't seem like a bad person..."

"Hmm, you do remember him, that green guy!"

The green one?

Jiang Mu understood; they must be talking about Wendy...

But... the green one... that description is really apt...

"He's dressed in the same green as that passerby downstairs!"

Paimon, feeling smug after seeing that Ying agreed with his idea, glanced at a figure to the side and immediately used him as an analogy.

Seeing this, Jiang Mu was also amazed by the two's luck. They were just travelers who had just arrived in Mondstadt, yet they were able to encounter the gods of Mondstadt three times... If only he had this kind of luck when drawing cards in his previous life...

Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore, it's all tears when we talk about it...

"Eek!" Paimon exclaimed suddenly...
