Genjin: I don't want to fall in love with Yae Gongji

Chapter 388 Letters from afar

The next day, Ying and Paimon appeared at the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild.

"Let me check... Well, all the tasks on the list are completed. Traveler, Paimon, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for coming back in time to assist after receiving the contact. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do with so many requests recently."

Paimon felt that the tasks for these two days were a piece of cake for them. After all, they were also here to participate in the Wine Festival, so it was appropriate for them to help a little.

"Hehe, it's a piece of cake. Although there is a lot of work in these two days, all I have to do is basically move goods, escort the convoy and so on."

"I heard you say there were not enough manpower before, so I thought there would be some difficult task waiting for us."

"You two are experienced adventurers. It's true that you are overqualified to ask you to handle these matters. However, Mondstadt will encounter similar situations every year at this time."

"Hey, why?" Paimon asked.

"Is it because of the Wine Festival?"

"The travelers are right. It has been a good time to harvest grains and fruits recently. For Mondstadt in Teyvat, which is famous for its fine wines, it has also come to the most important [wine-making season] of the year."

"Farmers are seizing the opportunity to sell fresh agricultural products, and major wine merchants will also purchase high-quality brewing raw materials." Catherine said.

"I see. No wonder I often hear people discussing the topic of wine in the past two days."

It was at this time that I heard a sound coming from not far away.

"Hey, what did you say? Really?" Finn asked.

"It's absolutely true, the acting captain is calling everyone to gather in the headquarters hall! Hurry up, hurry up, it will be too late if you don't leave!" Bernhard urged.

After saying these words, he ran away quickly.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Finn hurriedly caught up.

Paimon couldn't help but be a little confused about this scene between the two of them.

"Those two West Wind Knights...why do they look so panicked?"

"Hey, isn't this Traveler and Paimon? Hello to you."

Hearing a familiar voice behind them, the two turned around and looked over, finding it was Kaia.

"It's Kaia, she came just in time! Why is everyone running towards the Knights?"

"Do you need our help?" Ying asked.

"Haha, don't worry, it's not a situation that requires your action."

"Here's what happened: The Knights just received a letter from the grand leader. The acting leader will hold a meeting in the headquarters hall later to read the letter with everyone." Kaiya explained.

"I see, then I can rest assured... No, no, wait, what did you just say?" Paimon asked.

"Just now the Knights received a letter from the Grand Master." Ying said from the side.

"The grand leader of the Knights of the West Wind is... isn't he the legendary Falga who led the expedition?"

"Kaya, what did Falga's letter say, what is the situation of the expedition team now, when will they come back?"

Seeing that Paimon was very concerned about this matter, Kaia was slightly surprised.

"Hey, I didn't expect Paimon to care more about the Grand Master than I do...Are you a nosy?"

"It's normal. If there is someone you've heard of but never met, you'll miss him very much! Leader Qin always said that he is the [Contemporary Legend] of the Knights. It's really tantalizing." Pai Meng defended himself.

"Besides, the expedition team has been away from here for a long time, but we have never heard of their specific movements."

"Hahaha, the acting captain's comments are really kind."

"On his way to becoming a legend, that man also caused trouble for many people around him. I will tell you more about this later when I have time."

"Seeing that you are so interested, do you want to come with me to the Knights to listen?" Kaiya asked.

"The Honorable Knight hasn't shown up for a while. Everyone misses you."

"Okay, then let's go and have a look. Catherine, let's go first." "Okay, everyone, please go slowly."

So the two followed Kaiya to the headquarters of the Knights, and saw a lot of people gathered here.

"Well, it looks like everyone is almost here."

"Hi, little cutie, little Paimon, I didn't expect you to come too. Did you hear about the letter?" Lisa greeted the two of them.

"Yes, we just met Kaia near the Adventurers Association."

"Wow... Speaking of which, I've never seen so many people in the hall before."

"I feel like I'm getting nervous too."

"Haha, are you too involved? Based on what I know about the grand leader, he still has time to write a letter. What he wants to say is most likely not serious, and it's not bad news at all."

"Kaia's statement is a bit exaggerated, but I agree with this conclusion."

"After all, Mika is not the kind of kid who can hide things on his face."

Hearing the name Mika, Ying was a little confused and asked, "Mika? Who is that?"

"Look, it's the kid standing next to Qin in front of the stairs."

Ying and Paimon looked in the direction Lisa said and found a young man with short golden hair.

"He used to be a surveyor in the Youla team. He is very talented in surveying and has a down-to-earth personality. When the expedition team set off, he was appointed by the Grand Commander as the team's backbone of forward reconnaissance."

"He brought the letter this time."

"Everyone, please be quiet. Now that everyone has arrived, let's start reading the letter from the Grand Leader."

After saying this, Qin turned and said to Mika beside her.

"Mika, I leave it to you."

"Yes...yes! Captain Qin!"

Mika sorted out the nervousness just now, and said to everyone.

"Hmm, hello everyone, I am Mika, a surveyor of the guerrilla team. I was previously on a mission with the expedition team. Now I will read aloud the letter from Commander Falga on behalf of me."

Then he took out the letter and began to read it aloud.

[From the Knights of the West Wind: Hello everyone, my name is Falga. 】

[The first thing I want to tell you is: please rest assured that all members of the expedition team are currently safe and sound. 】

The knights present were relieved to hear that all the members of the expedition team were safe. After all, this was good news for them.

"Um...everyone, can I continue?"

"Go on, Mika."

[Okay, I guess you can relax and listen to the following content now. When I write this letter by the fire, the expedition team and I are stationed in the north of Teyvat to rest. 】

[I told you before that the purpose of the expedition is a dangerous secret from the past.That's all I can say for now, but you don't have to worry about the progress of the mission. 】

[In the past two months, we have met an unexpected person - the executive officer [Captain] of the Fools. 】

Paimon was also startled when he heard the name.

"What, [Captain]?"

Ying was thoughtful about the captain's appearance.

[I know the arrogant behavior of the Fools in Mondstadt before, but judging from the results, [Captain] did not go against us this time. 】

[(I guess it’s because the Winter Solstice Kingdom and us are grasshoppers on the same rope this time). 】

[The guy covered everything up with a mask, making it impossible to judge his experience and origin, but he was indeed a man of steel. As a mortal, he even had the fearlessness to challenge gods. 】
