He quickly looked toward the source of the sound, his eyes lighting up.
The newcomer had dark skin, his right eye was covered by an eye patch, and he was dressed in simple yet luxurious clothes. He was walking slowly toward the three of them.
The person who arrived was none other than our Kai, the Miner Foreman, the True Lord of Ice Crossing the Sea, Ya.
"Kaiya".
Amber looked at the newcomer, her expression somewhat unpleasant, and said.
"The Stormterror... has actually started attacking directly inside the city!"
"Kaiya, Traveler, you've come at the right time, let's hurry..."
"Wait a minute," Kaeya suddenly interrupted Amber.
"Amber, are there still people here who haven't had a chance to get to know each other yet?"
“Ah… okay…” Amber looked at the two of them, who were completely bewildered, and introduced them.
"This is Kaiya, our cavalry captain."
Then he looked at Kaiya: "These two are travelers from afar, the Traveler and Paimon."
“As for this one…” Amber then pointed to Jiang Mu.
"His name is Jiang Mu, and he is a traveler from Liyue."
"You only know it's 'far away'?..."
"Kaya murmured."
It was clear that he was more interested in Ying and Paimon than in Jiang Mu.
"This is what happened..."
Amber slowly explained what had happened to Kaeya...
………………
“I see…” Kaeya nodded, looking at the two of them with a bewildered expression. “Welcome to Mondstadt, but it’s a pity it’s at such a terrible time…”
“I understand the pain of separation from loved ones, Traveler,” Kaeya said solemnly. “Also, although I don’t know why you’re looking for the Wind God… everyone has their own secrets, right?”
"Haha... I won't ask any further questions."
“In short, on behalf of the Knights, I want to thank you,” Kaeya said, placing his right hand on his chest.
After some discussion about the gifts, Kaeya conveyed the request from the acting Grand Master of the Knights to come to the Knights' headquarters for a meeting.
Ying thought about it and agreed.
Jiang Mu nodded noncommittally.
"If you have time, you can go to Angel's Gift for a drink."
As Jiang Mu walked past Kaiya, the cavalry captain suddenly leaned forward slightly and smiled at Jiang Mu.
"I'll definitely do it next time."
Jiang Mu simply smiled and then followed the group ahead.
Meanwhile, Kaeya chuckled to himself, then quickly followed after Amber, chatting and laughing as they headed towards the Knights' headquarters...
………………
"Acting team leader, I've brought the person!"
Pushing open the door, Kaiya joked with one of the people in the room.
"ah!"
The two people inside the house quickly turned around, saw the group, and exclaimed with delight.
………………
"That's how it happened," Kaiya told Captain Qin the gist of the matter.
"Hmm..." Qin pondered for a moment, looking at the group.
“Welcome to Mondstadt, travelers who have come with the wind,” Jean said with a smile. “I am the acting leader, Jean.”
Then he looked at the woman wearing a witch's hat to the side and said.
"This is Lisa, the librarian of the Knights."
"Ah." Lisa opened her emerald-like eyes and smiled faintly.
"Is it because we're short-handed that this kind child came to help? How adorable."
………………
After discussion, the group decided to address the source of the hurricane that was engulfing Mondstadt.
The abandoned "Four Winds Guardian" temple.
"Um!"
After discussion, everyone reached a consensus.
"Friend from Liyue, please wait a moment." Just as Jiang Mu was about to make a quick getaway, Jean suddenly called out to him.
"So I was recognized after all?"
"Commander Qin..." The knights all asked with slight surprise.
"Ahem..." Qin realized that her words were somewhat inappropriate, and with a slight blush, she explained.
"I have something to discuss with this traveler privately."
Everyone understood, but only the Rose Witch, Lisa, curled the corners of her lips.
"hehe……"
"Alright then." Upon hearing this, Amber nodded and said to Jiang Mu.
"If you're free tonight, let's come to the Deer Hunter Restaurant together. I'll call Yura, and we can all get together."
“Of course.” Amber looked at Ying and Paimon.
"Travelers are welcome to come together if they want; it's more fun with more people."
Ying smiled and nodded, then quickly covered Paimon's mouth.
………………
"I never imagined that we would meet again now..."
Jiang Mu smiled and said.
"It's all your fault..." Qin rolled her eyes at him and said, "We need to settle the score for leaving without saying goodbye back then..."
"I was busy, you know..." Jiang Mu shrugged. "You know how busy I was back then..."
“However…” Jiang Mu looked the zither up and down and joked.
"I never imagined that the stubborn little girl would become the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius."
"Yes..." Qin nodded, sighing at the impermanence of life.
"Then," Qin said, sitting back down at her desk with a faint smile.
"Now that you've come to Mondstadt, I should extend my hospitality as a host."
"If you run into any trouble in Mondstadt, you can come to me. But..."
Qin's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"If you want to use the name of the Knights to do some illegal or criminal things..."
"I'm not that kind of person!"
Jiang Mu quickly waved his hand and explained.
"I'm just reminding you, what are you so nervous about..."
Qin rolled her eyes...
Jiang Mu: "..."
Stepping out of the Knights' Order, Jiang Mu let out a long sigh of relief...
He never expected that the little girl he met while training in the wild would become a powerful figure.
“Let’s go…” Jiang Mu shook his head.
"It's time to go see Wendy..."
………………
In front of the Cathedral of the West Wind, beneath the statue of the wind god, a group of people are surrounding a bard wearing a Cecilia flower in his hair.
"That was in the distant past, when the gods were still walking on the earth..."
The bard's haunting voice and exquisite melody seemed to transport the crowd back to a distant era, even making them forget the fear brought by the Stormterror...
"That concludes today's performance." As the song ended, the young bard smiled shyly at the captivated audience.
As if jolted awake from a beautiful dream, everyone's eyes revealed a sense of realization and reluctance. But alas, the bard had already put away his harp, so they could only sigh and leave...
As the crowd gradually dispersed, the bard tapped the Mora that the audience had tipped him, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
"Looks like I'll be drinking my fill tonight, hehe~"
"Truly the best bard in all of Teyvat!" Suddenly, a voice of praise came from the side.
But upon hearing this voice, the bard's face immediately froze.
"Why are you here again? I don't have a single drop left!"
