My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

"What to say——"

Ying looked back at the outline of Mondstadt, which already seemed far away, and recalled what happened during the farewell.

"It was really lively just now, everyone showed a very sincere attitude. I thought you would take advantage of the situation to say a few words to further enhance the atmosphere, but I didn't expect that you just waved goodbye and left."

"In that situation, a simple word of comfort should have the power to touch people's hearts. After all, we were the center of attention at that time. However, if my personal prestige is too high, it will affect Qin's management, and it will also make this departure have a greater impact on people's hearts."

In fact, Huayi's prestige has reached its peak. If Qin had not possessed the inner virtues that perfectly fit the knight's virtues, and the work that she once neglected to eat and sleep had a corresponding status in the hearts of Mondstadt people, she would have encountered management problems long ago.

"It has an impact on people's hearts... Ah, I understand, it's because we feel that after we leave Mondstadt, the strength of the Knights of the West Wind will be reduced, and we will feel insecure, right? Yora, who has been stationed abroad for a long time in the past, has returned to the Knights. Together with Mona, who recently signed up, Mondstadt has a lot of fighting power."

"For ordinary people, Yura has always been a member of the Knights. They can't tell the difference between garrisoning in the wilderness and staying in Mondstadt. The only real new combat forces that fit the concept are Noel and Mona.. However, Noelle had been helping everywhere before joining the Knights, and Mona always stayed at home. In the eyes of many people, as we left, the Knights of the West Wind had once again fallen into its previous weak state."

"And what about Tevalin, the Dragon of the East Wind?"

"This is one of the biggest sources of confidence for the Mondstadt people. Facts have proved that the previous public announcement of Tvarin's return was an extremely correct choice."

After confirming that Mondstadt would not be in panic due to the departure of the honorary knight, Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl smiled again.

"Huhu, so which way do we take to Liyue?"

"I see that you have been studying the map for the past few days. You must have thought about it a long time ago, right? Can you please ask the far-sighted honorary knight, the rising star of the Adventurers Association, Miss Ying, to answer my questions?"

Hua Yi's compliment made Ying even more happy.

"whee."

He raised his head in great relief and thought for a while.

"There are two options. One is to go south and cross the Longji Snow Mountain to reach Mingyun Town in Liyue. The other is to go west first and pass through the Cangfeng Highlands to reach Shimen - Hey, The name of this place is really good. It is located at the junction of Liyue and Mondstadt."

"It seems you want to choose the second path"

"Yes, after all, I have already been to Longji Snow Mountain. On the contrary, I have never walked the road leading to Shimen from Blue Wind Highlands. An unknown journey is a novel enough adventure."

Those who can regard the unknown journey as an attractive adventure like Ying and look forward to it are only the very few owners of the Eye of God among all living beings in the Teyvat continent.

And those who are just starting out have never truly experienced it. A young man who realizes the horror of monsters and thinks about going out to make a living is just naive and lacks consideration, which is different from being truly confident.

Hua Yi met Ying's expectations and led her towards the stone gate.

Looking around full of energy

"This road is quite exciting to walk on. It is surrounded by high cliffs on both sides. You can only choose to go forward or backward. There are no other forks in the road. When the Wind God arbitrarily changed the terrain of Mondstadt, why didn't he flatten this side?"

"Such a terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is one of the roads connecting Mondstadt and Liyue. If there is a war, the West Wind Knights stand on the mountains on both sides, condescending, and can create a situation where less can defeat many, and the weak can defeat the strong. Miracle"

"Aren’t the seven earthly rulers on friendly terms?"

"Ancient books record that the seven-ruling system of the world was established after the end of the Demon God War. During the God War, the Demon God protected believers, each occupying one side and opposing each other. According to what I already know, if we really want to make a comparison, during the Demon God War, Mondstadt was actually peaceful, while Liyue was the real place where demons danced and blood flowed like rivers."

Hua Yi told Ying what he knew.

"Liyue's territory was already larger than Mondstadt, and the number of demon gods that existed at that time was far greater than Mondstadt. Even if Wendy obtained the position of Wind God, she would inevitably worry about the spread of war in Liyue, or the possibility of defeated demon gods escaping. Come to Mondstadt. Of course, the advantages of terrain are only useful for common sense beings, not for dealing with demons."

"Is the rock god Morax the final winner of Liyue?"

"Um. According to legend, the Rock God swept through thousands of demonic armies, defeated many opponents, created and protected Liyue, and was also known as the 'God of War'."

"No wonder you are so interested in the ritual of inviting immortals."

Ying nodded clearly and continued to look around.

She was someone who had seen a lot of the world, so she would not be immersed in the legend of the Rock God.

While listening to those myths and legends, Ying did not forget to pay attention to the mountains on both sides to prevent monsters from attacking..Monsters do not possess high intelligence, but abyss mages should have the brains to make use of the terrain.

"Below us is the main trade route connecting Liyue and Mondstadt. It is the key patrol area of ​​the West Wind Knight, so there is no need to worry about monsters appearing."

Hua Yi's eyes looked into the distance, as if he could"see" things that ordinary people could not observe through the obstacles of the terrain.

"On the north side of the mountain is the Running Wolf Territory. Since the West Wind Knights established contact with the King Wolf, the wolf territory of the Running Wolf Territory has become clear. The West Wind Knights will not patrol there for no reason, and the wolves have taken on the task of hunting down monsters. The duty of protecting one party. We won't encounter monsters until the border between Mondstadt and Liyue."

"Then I will collect some sweet flowers and sunset fruits from everywhere. Paimon, fly a little higher and take a look at the surrounding environment"

"oh. Paimon nodded obediently.

The mascot's guide job was taken away by Hua Yi, but she didn't feel depressed at all. She was just listening to Hua Yi and Ying talking while chasing butterflies around.

Now, she finally got it reconnaissance mission

"In the distance... there is a large lake that can only be reached by walking for several hours until evening. I don’t know if the lake water tastes good or not. It would be nice if it was the same as the Cider Lake."

"lake? It’s a good place to camp and you can catch fish to eat."

The little cook who is responsible for all three meals on weekdays, the first thing she thinks of is still eating. Paired with Paimon, it is a perfect combination of eating and drinking.
