Genshin Impact: I don’t have much time left, can we meet again?

Chapter 23 Simon’s son-in-law
The morning light breaks.

Wisp after wisp of morning mist, like a veil covering the quiet hills.

Groups of white dragonflies are sucking the crystal clear dew among the colorful flowers.

Suddenly, a burst of horse hooves came from the forest, and the frightened white dragonfly flapped its wings and flew high.

"Old man, have you seen it? The white dragonfly that has disappeared for thousands of years has reappeared, which means that an extremely distinguished guest has come to Mondstadt!" On the back of a war horse wearing iron mail, a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared. The middle-aged man, while using the reins to drive the horse to speed up, turned around and shouted at the other knight behind him.

"I'm not deaf! Falga, can you change your habit of yelling? I'm not your soldier." The man with long blond hair and a pair of glasses was somewhat dissatisfied. He frowned and said, "Hey, we should stop and rest. The horses at the post station can't run anymore."

"Simon, hold on a little longer, we'll be in front." Falga responded.

On a small road near Qingquan Town, the two finally reined in the reins.The two war horses were breathing hot air from their nostrils. It was obvious that after a long journey, their physical strength was almost reaching its limit.

Walking through a hillside, across a river, and into a primeval forest.

The towering trees blocked out the sky and the sun, making the whole forest look very dark.

"Rosalia, how is the situation?" Falga, who was carrying a giant sword, asked in a deep voice.

Rosalia doesn't like sunlight and always moves at night. Her usual resting place is in this dark forest.

A woman with long purple hair jumped down from the tree.

She had a cold face and replied in a cold tone: "Falga, after three days of investigation, I am convinced that the man is Lord Su Luo who has disappeared for three years. Don't worry, he appeared in Mondstadt this time. Although There are no guards around, but there are no assassins or assassins following him.”

Falga had long been accustomed to Rosalia calling her by her first name.

Rosalia grew up in a band of thieves. Later, the band was wiped out by the Knights. He believed that Rosalia was still young and had room for repentance, so he spared no effort and brought her back to Mondstadt for reform.

Later, she was asked to join the West Wind Church and become a nun, and told her to "wash yourself under the light of God. You can start over and live like an ordinary person." This was equivalent to giving Rosalia a chance to change her past. Opportunity.

Rosalia should have been grateful, but later Falga discovered that she did not believe in any gods at all, so she naturally did not believe in the Knights of the West Wind, who believed in the wind god. She repeatedly skipped classes at the West Wind Church and was absent from the choir many times. Work has become a daily routine.

Coupled with Rosalia's tragic childhood experience, she is withdrawn and has a cold attitude towards everyone. Therefore, she never calls him "leader" respectfully, but calls him by his first name.

Fortunately, Rosalia often helped the Knights of the West Wind eradicate thieves and gangsters at night, and had been silently guarding Mondstadt, so everyone accepted her.

After that, Rosalia became a pair of his eyes, hiding in the dark corners of Mondstadt, observing all enemies that threatened Mondstadt, and reporting any signs of trouble as soon as possible.

"Great, three years have passed, and Lord Su Luo finally appears again!" At this moment, after listening to Rosalia's report, Falga's heart was beating violently, and his expression was a little dazed for a while.

More than half a month ago, he and Simon Page left Mondstadt for a business trip. The day before yesterday, he suddenly received a pigeon message from Rosalia. After learning the information about Su Luo's appearance, he rushed back without stopping. No time to rest or eat.

"Lord Suluo?" Simon Page, the bishop of the West Wind Church, felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his lips trembling, "Rosalia, repeat yourself? Commander Suluo, has he come to Mondstadt?"

Rosalia said "hmm" and repeated: "Lord Su Luo, Mondstadt arrived three days ago."

Facing Falga, who adopted her, and Simon Page, the boss of the West Wind Church, Rosalia never called them "adults". She even saw Mond's guardianship with her own eyes on the battlefield of Sky Island three years ago. Even the god of wind, Barbatos, the god of wind, she never said "Lord Wind God", but she only used the honorific title when addressing Su Luo.

Together with the Seven Kingdoms Expeditionary Force, she witnessed the great feat of Commander Su Luo in overthrowing the laws of nature and liberating all mankind.More importantly, Commander Su Luo was different from the Seven Gods of Teyvat. He came from the human race. With his mortal body, he aspired to the supreme realm of the gods. He was the person she admired the most.

Regardless of Su Luo's personal growth experience or the immortal achievements he created, they are all legendary myths of the Teyvat continent.

"Great, great, Commander Su Luo is finally back. You all say he is dead, but I always think he is still alive." Simon Page leaned forward and backward happily, where is the bishop of the West Wind Church? Normally gentle and elegant, "My precious daughter has been waiting for him for three years. All the waiting is worth it!"

Rosalia crossed her arms and said coldly: "Simon, don't be too happy. Your daughter went to Chenxi Winery and was determined not to see Mr. Su Luo. It's really hard for me to understand that Qin would ignore Su Luo. Master Luo... Falga, do you need me to tie her up?"

"Don't be ridiculous." Falga raised his eyebrows and glanced at Rosalia.

"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." Rosalia waved her hand, "The person who usually misses her is Su Luo. Now that Master Su Luo is back, she is hiding in Chenxi Winery. Such a smart person Why is a person so stubborn?"

Falga did not save face for her this time and choked: "You have never been in love, so of course you don't understand emotional matters."

Hearing this, Rosalia's face turned red, and it took several seconds before she snorted coldly. "My daughter is too willful when it comes to feelings. I'm going to persuade her now." Simon Page was just about to take action when he suddenly realized something else, "Falga, the two of us are... Shouldn’t we go see Commander Su Luo first?”

"Of course I want to meet you, but not now. Rosalia, give Simon the information in the letter sent by your flying pigeon," Falga ordered.

Rosalia introduced: "Judging from the current situation, Sir Su Luo appears in Mondstadt this time and hopes to keep a low profile. If you go to see him directly, I am afraid that his identity will be exposed to the public. Master Su Luo will definitely be unhappy."

"I understand, Sir Su Luo is here for a private visit incognito." Simon Page expressed his understanding, and at the same time praised highly: "Big men always don't like to appear in public. After becoming famous, they still know how to be humble. My son-in-law... ahem, Our commander-in-chief is truly amazing.”

Simon Page approved of the relationship between his daughter Qin and Su Luo from the beginning.

For some reason, when Su Luo came to Mondstadt for the first time, he particularly liked this young man.

Su Luo once played chess and drank wine with him. Although the age difference between the two of them was twenty or thirty years, Su Luo's knowledge and vision were richer and deeper than this old guy.

From then on, Simon believed that Su Luo would be able to overturn the law of heaven.

Facts have also proved his vision. Now that the laws of heaven have been overturned, Su Luo has created the greatest miracle in human history.

If Su Luo marries Qin, she will be his son-in-law.

By then, both the Gunnhild family, where Qin's mother belongs, and the Simon family, will become the most noble family in the Teyvat continent because of Su Luo alone.

After learning about Su Luo's reappearance, Simon Page even began to fantasize about whether the other six gods would be invited to the wedding of the two. If the seven gods agreed to be witnesses, it would be the history of Teyvat. The grandest wedding ever.

"Simon, it's not what you think. Mr. Su Luo's trip this time is not a private visit, but he is going to die. But he doesn't want everyone to know or worry." Rosalia shook her head gently. Head, said sadly.

The smile on Simon Page's lips froze instantly.Rosalia is a serious person and doesn't like to joke, so the story about Mr. Su Luo's death must be true.

He looked at Rosalia, and finally at Falga, his reproach was obvious——

You got the information in advance, why didn't you tell me?
Falga patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Old man, when I first received the information from Rosalia, I had the same reaction as you do now. How could Commander Su Luo, who was at the height of his power, have his end approaching? I brought you here just to confirm with Rosalia that the information is correct and then make a long-term plan. Alas, we have to prepare for the worst."

Simon Page was weak, but he insisted: "I don't believe it! Su Luo can't die. Could it be another fishing trip? Commander Su Luo is very resourceful. He used a similar strategy in the battle three years ago. , pretending to be sick, and successfully attracted the traitor lurking in the expeditionary force to show up and assassinate him."

"I also hope that the old trick will happen again. But obviously, in Mondstadt today, where is there any traitor or enemy that is worthy of Commander Su Luo using this method? Even if Mondstadt has a traitor, with his current status and prestige, he does not need to Use this tactic again. As long as you give an order, we, the Knights of the West Wind, will immediately launch an investigation."

After explaining this, Falga took off the big sword from his back, put it on the ground, then sat on it, and said sadly: "Old man, have you ever encountered an enemy in Mondstadt in the past three years? My sword is already rusty."

Simon Page was speechless for a moment.

Yes, after Tianli was destroyed, there were no more wars or enemies in the Teyvat continent.

But I heard that some remnants of the Heavenly Law were hiding in various parts of the Teyvat continent.However, except for Liyue, I heard that some demon-god-level remnants were discovered last year. The Mondstadt area has been quiet in the past three years. Even ordinary thieves are very rare, so that there is a discussion in the city about "whether the Knights of the West Wind is still necessary to exist." .

Three years ago, anyone who dared to raise this topic would have shaken the morale of the military and would be criticized by everyone.

To this day, this topic has triggered a heated discussion among the people.

Although the results of the final discussion showed that the vast majority of Mondstadt people still support the Knights of the West Wind in maintaining their original structure, many people have suggested that the Knights of the West Wind would be a waste of resources in maintaining so many soldiers in peacetime and should be streamlined. Layoffs.

"Mr. Sulo admitted personally in front of the members of the Knights that he did not have much time left. We all have to face reality." Rosalia felt very sad, but instead began to comfort Simon Page.

Su Luo stayed in Mondstadt for three days, and she had already spent three days digesting the news of Su Luo's impending death.Compared with Falga, who had learned this information in advance, Simon, who had just heard the bad news, needed someone to comfort him more at this time.

After a while, Simon Page calmed down and said dejectedly: "Since Mr. Su Luo wants to keep it secret, it is indeed inappropriate for us to rush to see him now. Falga, I have an idea."

"What can we do?" Falga pricked up his ears.

"Let's go see Lord Fengshen together. Please ask him to take action to save Commander Su Luo."
