The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

Standing on the terrace and looking down, a large number of European-style buildings from the end of the [-]th century that are very similar to the residences of Chenxi Winery in the city match well with the castle as the main carrier. The most eye-catching thing is the one in front of you and In the distance is the large windmill next to the fort.

"Well... Actually, Keli usually likes to take shortcuts. Since I am leading the way for you, big brother, let's take a look at the scenery that can be seen in Mondstadt." Pointing to the stone staircase at the back of the house, Kelly, who was about to take a step, suddenly stopped.

"By the way! A lot of things have happened since we met, so I never had time to ask big brother your name. I am Keli, the spark knight of the Knights of the West Wind. What is your name, big brother?" Keli introduced himself. Li showed a smile as bright as the sun.

Seemingly infected by the little guy's optimistic attitude, Xia Yu's mood improved a lot. "Xia Yu, summer's Xia, Qiyu's Yu." After saying his name to the little guy, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth turned up involuntarily.

"Xia Yu? It turns out that the eldest brother is from Liyue~" Without giving Xia Yu a chance to explain, Keli trotted to the stone steps at the edge of the castle. The little guy who raised his little hand struggled to grab Bi. He climbed up more than half his head to the stone pier of the outer wall, and then climbed up skillfully using his hands and feet.

"Brother Xia Yu, come here and take a look!" Keli, who was standing on the wide stone platform, didn't care at all about the ten-meter height difference between the outer wall of the stone pier and the ground. It was obvious that she was a habitual offender.

"Keli thought about it and decided to use this to compensate brother Xia Yu." After saying this, Keli pointed to the clear lake outside the castle after seeing Xia Yu following him. "Over there is Mondstadt's most famous Cider Lake. The water in the lake is very sweet and there are many fish in it."

"The fish in the Cider Lake is quite delicious compared to other places! Even if Captain Qin catches her and she will be imprisoned for a whole day, Keli thinks it is quite worth it!"

"After Keli's confinement is over, we will go to Guojiu Lake with brother Xia Yu to fry fish and grill it. However, big brother must keep this secret from Captain Qin for Keli. How about it?" She mentioned what she likes to do. When something happened, the little guy's orange-red eyes flashed with a sneaky light.

puff~

It turns out that this little guy who left a very well-behaved first impression on me is actually a naughty kid!The change in mood made Xia Yu finally couldn't help laughing.

But she is still different from ordinary naughty children. At least Keli will try her best to make amends after finding out that she has really gotten into trouble, just like finding the man named Kaia and moving herself back to Mondstadt.

As a professional chef, how could you not be tempted when you hear about high-quality ingredients? "No problem, let's go see Keli together after your confinement is over." Xia Yu agreed without hesitation. "But when the time comes, you don't need to bring bombs, Keli. I have a more convenient way to catch fish."

That's right, it was Blue Tuan Tuan who was lying on his shoulder and stuck together with the new green Tuan Tuan. The comfortable expressions on the faces of the two slimes and the shocked look of Huo Tuantuan who was watching this scene blankly. Xia Yu laughed dumbly.

Exploding fish with bombs will cause irreversible damage to the ecology at the bottom of the lake, so the leader of the West Wind Knights banned Keli from frying fish.

Then, wouldn't it be enough to just let the water-type slime wrap the fish in water and send it directly to the shore like it did when he first came to this world?You can catch high-quality ingredients while avoiding risks, the best of both worlds!

Follow the long stone stairs to the dividing point where there are two forks, one up and one down. Continue walking up. After seeing a small fountain flower bed, continue up the stone stairs. It feels like you are walking through a maze. Xia Yu finally followed Keli to the stone fortress building.

"Here we are, this is the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind." After greeting the two knights standing guard, Keli opened the slightly heavy door of the Knights' headquarters in front of her.

"The first room on the left here is Captain Qin's office. As for Keli, she has to go to the solitary room." Keli pointed to the door next door.

"Keli will come to see brother Xia Yu after the confinement is over." The little guy who walked to the door of the room waved to himself, and then consciously opened the door and left under the helpless eyes of the slightly fat knight members. Go in.

Are you finally able to have a conversation with the official organization of Mondstadt? After adjusting his mood, Xia Yu reached out and knocked on the door. The door was opened within two seconds. What appeared in Xia Yu's eyes was what he had seen before. A passing Kaia.

"Hey, little brother, you're finally here." For some reason, Xia Yu always felt that Kaiya's eyes looked a little weird when he welcomed him into the room.

Pointing to the two knights standing in front of the desk, Kaiya continued: "The captain is reviewing an emergency incident. After their report is over, we will start discussing your compensation."

————————————————————————

The leader of the Knights, who has golden high ponytail hair, a delicate and beautiful oval face, silver-blue eyes full of mystery, and exudes the aura of a strong woman, has an extremely delicate appearance, but there are two people in the room. The members of the Knights who were reporting seemed to truly respect their leader.

"So, according to the statement given by the servant of Chenxi Winery, the specific number of members of the treasure thief group who attacked Chenxi Winery is unknown. The one who appeared as bait was a young man in his 20s with black hair and black eyes. Because The winery’s servants responded promptly and no one was injured, but the vineyard was damaged, right?”

The leader of the knights frowned as he repeated the entire case. After thinking for a while with his chin in one hand, the extremely capable leader of the knights shook his head.

"I still find it a bit strange. With the reputation of senior Diluc in Mondstadt, even if the members of the treasure thief group are really targeting Chenxi Winery, the most they dare to do is steal a few bunches of grapes at night... Tell This is what I saw when you arrived."

puff! ! !

The words from the female knight leader made Xia Yu squirt out all the water he drank.

Good guy!No wonder Kaiya had such a strange expression when he opened the door. It turned out that what he was reporting was the conflict between himself and the servants of Chenxi Winery.And that old man really exaggerated and put all the blame on himself!

Looking at the scrutinizing eyes of the two Knights members who turned around and the Knights leader Qin Na, Xia Yu said without hesitation: "This case can be closed, the member of the 'Treasure Thief Group' you are discussing it is me."

"What?" "No way..."

There were shocked expressions on the faces of the two Knights members. On the other hand, the expressions of Kaia and Qin did not change much.In other words, compared to Qin who was thinking calmly, the clarity in Kaia's eyes next to her was as if he already knew the outcome of this matter.

"I understand. Since the person involved is here, let us listen to your side of the story."

————————————————————————

He came to this world inexplicably, and in the process of trying his best to survive in this world, he was inexplicably helped by what seemed to be members of the treasure stealing group, omitting the fact that he was blessed by the Qiuqiu people's shaman and interacted with an unknown magician. After encountering these two secret messages, Xia Yu told everything that happened until he arrived at Chenxi Winery.

"So, if Chenxi Winery really suffered any losses, it would only be the two bunches of grapes that I picked because I was really angry. I can compensate these two bunches of grapes in the form of labor services, but I will also ask that old guy to be responsible for the damage." Apologize to me.”

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the old guy to confront him face to face." Xia Yu still felt angry when he mentioned the bald middle-aged servant.

"This...is completely inconsistent with the information we received..."

"That's weird, what's going on with those grape trellises scattered on the ground?"

"What?" Xia Yu opened his mouth wide after hearing this.I just picked two bunches of grapes and left. Other than the internationally accepted friendly gesture, I didn't do anything else.

That old man actually did something that was harmful to others and not beneficial to himself to frame him!

"Are they from another world..." Qin, who was analyzing in her mind, tapped the table gently. From a perceptual point of view, Qin was more willing to believe in the servants at Diluc Winery. After all, after so many years of experience, Even if we don't all know each other's situation, we still understand each other quite well.

The young man in front of me who is about the same age as me does not have the eyes of God. When telling the whole story, his pupils can only glance upward when his brow changes slightly. From the experience he summed up from the beginning of becoming a member of the Knights to the present, This only happens when recalling details.

Only when he talked about the Qiuqiu people, his eyes looked downward involuntarily.In other words, he was hiding something when he talked about the Qiuqiu people, but this helped him change his direction and prove one thing, that is, he was really just an ordinary person.

Maybe it's because the people in the other world are somewhat different from those in Teyvat continent, so the elemental slimes and Qiuqiu talents are not so hostile to him?

"Kaia, you should have passed by Chenxi Winery yesterday. What do you think about this matter?" Qin, who asked Kaia for confirmation, began to collect further information.

"I think Brother Xia Yu is telling the truth." Kaiya, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looked at Xia Yu who was aside. "First of all, the clothes he was wearing when we found him, whether in style or workmanship, were indeed not the type that this world should have."

"The second thing is the collapsed grape trellises in the winery. Although there are dagger marks on them, the grapes on the trellises are basically intact. If he really wanted to knock down the grape trellises in such a 'meticulous' way, Xia Yu would not Time has 'escaped' from Chenxi Winery."

“However, I think this damaging move was not thought up by Mr. Turner, who has been farming for decades. It may have been a plan proposed to him by others in the winery.”

"Is that so..." Kaia's on-site investigation report made Qin more certain of her thoughts. "Then this case can basically be declared closed."

As a knight, Qin knows how important reputation is to some people. Although the visitor from another world in front of him is just an ordinary human being, he dares to directly say that he is the person involved in the case on this occasion. , rather than waiting to discover it on your own, which is commendable.

Moreover, even though he was penniless, he said he was willing to compensate the two bunches of grapes in the form of labor services, but the requirement was that Mr. Turner must apologize to him.

All signs indicate that he really cares about his reputation.

But when he left, he took two bunches of grapes with him... Even though he knew that compared with the life-and-death battles that might occur between knights whose reputation was damaged, two bunches of grapes were really nothing as a counterattack against the damage to their reputation. , but the grapes are not Uncle Turner’s property, but belong to Chenxi Winery.

emmmm...I feel a little complicated.

"In this way, we will deduct the price of the two bunches of grapes from your compensation. As a crime of stealing out of anger, you need to help the Knights deal with the sundries for a week."

"As for Uncle Turner's apology to you, his son Guy is currently serving in the Knights of the West Wind. We will explain the detailed situation to him, and the subsequent specific matters will be discussed by the two of you. What do you think?"

Chapter 11 The unknown doorman and the raccoon

He neither shields acquaintances nor makes a muddy judgment where both parties have their faults and therefore offset each other. At the same time, he also leaves room for himself to determine how much his reputation is worth. The successive judgments leave Qin in Xia Yu's mind. Made a good impression.

I have to say that the leader of the knights in front of me is indeed a real type.

"I agree with this ruling."

Job-type jobs usually have very obvious characteristics: they have a lot of tasks but are easy to get started, such as simple cleaning and moving tasks, and a week's job will not be too troublesome.

At the same time, I had just arrived in Mondstadt. I felt lost just when Keli led me from the dormitory area to the office. I spent this week getting to know the members of the Knights of the West Wind, allowing them to Taking myself to understand the structure of Mondstadt City, in a sense, I am not at a disadvantage.

"Okay, it's refreshing enough!"

Unlike Qin who looked extremely serious at all times, Kaiya looked like a laid-back person when he was not on task. Kaiya raised his hand and patted Xia Yu's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. Then he stood up and left the office directly. The compensation plan on the table was handed to Xia Yu's hands.

"Kia!"

Facing Qin's oppressive direct gaze, Kaiya still seemed extremely relaxed. Kaiya spread his hands and said naturally: "Captain, Brother Xia Yu has already cooperated with us so much, why not bargain here and waste money?" Time, it’s better to hand it over directly so that I can go out and patrol a few more times.”

"Captain Qin, with your character of pursuit of justice, when I was bargaining with Brother Xia Yu, as long as he asked you about the limit of compensation, you would tell them all. Besides, all the compensation has been put in We’re in the house, why don’t we all save some time, what do you think?”

His oppression was easily resolved by the smiling Kaia. Qin, who was blocked when she was ready, felt like she was hit hard on cotton without any ripples. She was a little blocked mentally, but Kaia just chose to do it. What he said was very reasonable, and I couldn't find anything to find fault with.

'Pa', the slightly raised hand finally slapped it weakly on the desk. Qin stood up and put on the waistcoat hanging aside again, looked at Kaiya and Xia Yu, and then said: "Okay. , then let’s arrange it like this. The task of explaining the situation to Senior Diluc at Chenxi Winery will be left to you, and I will take him to the new house to complete the handover."

In the labyrinth-like city of Mondstadt, I found the residence assigned to me by the Knights of the West Wind. Then, like a blindfolded fly, I followed the heroic leader to the side entrance of the alley in Mondstadt. I felt that I was completely separated. Xia Yu, who didn't know what was going on, was in despair.

I definitely don't have the strange attribute of being a wanderer. After walking around Mondstadt City for a short while, there weren't too many buildings. Logically speaking, I shouldn't get lost.

But it happens to be the staggered design of the castle structure. Some buildings are clearly right in front of you, but if you want to reach your destination, you have to go around a long way to find the stone steps that can be walked up. If you encounter the transfer type of stone steps again, Elevators are even more difficult for newcomers to Mondstadt.

You must memorize your directions this week...it would be embarrassing if it was reported that you got lost in the city.

"Captain!? Why are you here?" Just when Xia Yu was still worried about the structure of Mondstadt, Xia Yu was startled by the surprised shouts of an energetic young man coming from directly in front.

This is a young male knight who is about the same height as himself. His powerful figure shows to people passing by that he has exercised well. There is still a trace of surprise on his face. He obviously did not expect the leader of the West Wind Knights. You will come to the side gate of Mondstadt that is usually not visited by anyone.

"Guy, there was a case in Mondstadt yesterday related to your father..."

Qin told the young man the results of the discussion in the office in detail, then turned to look at where Xia Yu was. After seeing Guy noticing Xia Yu following him, Qin continued:

"This is Xia Yu, who was sued by your father to the Knights of the West Wind because of a misunderstanding. You must discuss the specific apology and compensation method first. I have left beforehand. Just let me know when you have the exact result."

"What!? Father, he can judge a person's good and evil so arbitrarily?" The young knight was greatly frightened. The captain of the cavalry, Kaia, personally participated in the investigation, and the captain of the knights also concluded the case. , the authenticity of the matter can basically be said to be [-]% certain.

"I'm really sorry! Sir, since it was my father's fault first, I will bear all your compensation and punishment!" Guy, who looked very enthusiastic, directly took all the original punishment from Xia Yu.

ha?

He didn't expect such a development at all, and what surprised Xia Yu even more was that the man from the Knights in front of him actually showed a happy giggle. "Hey, is it really okay to help me bear the loss and still be so happy?"

"Of course!" The male knight who patted his chest smiled even more happily, and the eyes of the male knight who put his hands on Xia Yu's shoulders were filled with dazzling light.

"Not only that, I also want to thank you sir."

what? ?

Feeling the slightly trembling hands of the other party on his shoulders, Xia Yu understood that the other party was actually telling the truth. He was really happy to be able to take the blame for him.

"Maybe you don't understand, sir. I have been exercising my physical strength since I was eight years old. I started practicing swordsmanship when I was ten years old. I became an apprentice knight at the age of 16. I was extremely proud to be a member of the Knights of the West Wind." !" The young man's eyes suddenly turned red as he recalled the past, and big tears fell down the corners of his eyes one by one.

"But then... maybe my luck was really bad. I wanted to join the field patrol team and was assigned to the guard team. My main task was to stand guard at the side entrance of Mondstadt City."

As if to let Xia Yu better understand his work, the young man took Xia Yu to the side door.

It was as if he had arrived in the suburbs. The side entrance of Mondstadt looked like it had hardly been repaired. The natural ecological environment and the clear fruit wine lake made Xia Yu's first impression of this place not bad.

It would be great to have a picnic here!

"Did you see that?" Looking along the young man's direction, the first thing that came into Xia Yu's eyes was a pier that was not too big. “At first I thought I was juggling important duties on an important shipping route, and I was happy about that for a long time.”

"But the further we get to the back, the more we realize something is wrong. This small port can only see cargo transportation once every two or three months, and the number of residents entering and exiting here is less than 20 people every day..."

"For this reason, I went to the headquarters of the Knights to check the purpose of this small port in my spare time. Unexpectedly..." The young man's face became even sadder as he recounted his experiences in recent years.

"This port is completely a small port on an inland lake. In addition to allowing the residents of Qingquan Town to more safely transport goods to the main city, it is only used as one of the event venues for the annual badminton festival."

"So far, I have been working as a guard at this city gate for five years. Can you imagine what I have experienced in these five years? I can tell the difference just by listening to the footsteps of the uncles and aunts who go to the Cider Lake to fetch water every day. If you don't know who they are, you don't have to worry about safety even if you close your eyes and doze off."

"Do you know how the members of the Treasure Thief Group described this side door? They all disliked the location of this door as being too remote, and the wall was outrageously high. Even the thieves didn't want to sneak in or escape from Mondstadt through here. City, it’s been five years… not a single member of the treasure thief group has passed through here!”

emmmm.... The complicated expression on the face of the young man who was trying his best not to cry made Xia Yu feel sympathy. Xia Yu, who could fully understand the other person's mood, patted the young man's shoulder heavily. "So, do you want to take the punishment for me and also have the idea of ​​changing your job?"

"That's right! Although the work of the Knights does not distinguish between high and low, if I stay here any longer, I feel like I will be bored to death! It's good luck to do odd jobs in the Knights, as long as I can change my mood by changing my job. I’m willing to give it a try. So, thank you very much.”

Finally unable to bear it any longer, the young man burst out crying. His nose and tears instantly flowed all over the floor as he howled loudly. However, no one noticed because the side door was too remote.

Damn...it's really tragic.

————————————————————————

Following the path that Guy pointed out to him, he arrived at the main entrance of Mondstadt. The tinkling sound of forging in his ears made Xia Yu instantly find his destination - the blacksmith shop.

As a professional chef, how can you do it without handy knives?The knife he originally used did not come to this world with him, so he had to make a new set.

In addition, there are iron woks for stir-frying, large deep-bottomed pots for stewing and steaming vegetables, and striped pans for frying meat. By now, you must prepare at least these three pots to facilitate your cooking.

The good news is that as long as the cooking requirements are not too delicate, a skilled Chinese chef can complete most of the dishes with just a cutting knife and a machete.Following the direction from which the knocking sound came, an open-air blacksmith shop soon appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.

The burly middle-aged blacksmith standing in front of the anvil was hammering a one-handed sword that was about to be formed. The sound of each hammer blow was even and clear. It was obvious that he was a skilled blacksmith.

Beside him, a young man who was slightly thinner but still stronger than ordinary people was watching intently the changes in the one-handed sword after each hammer blow by the old blacksmith. He seemed to have noticed Xia Yu's arrival. The young man He raised his head.

"Hello, this is Master Wagner's blacksmith shop. The master's craftsmanship is the best in Mondstadt. Do you need anything?" The young man showed Xia Yu a handful of finely crafted weapons in the shop.

"Excuse me, are there any kitchen utensils here?" Xia Yu, who was describing the kitchen utensils and types of iron pots he needed, found that the sound of forging suddenly stopped.

"Young man, with such a detailed description, you must be the chef in Liyue." The old blacksmith wiped the sweat from his forehead after completing his work. "Sarah from Deer Hunter asked me to customize a set some time ago out of curiosity, but after trying it out she felt it was not comfortable, so she put it up for consignment in my blacksmith shop."

"Schütz, go get that set of knives. If you want the iron pot, you can pick it up in three days. The total of the knives and the iron pot is three thousand molars." The price given by the old blacksmith shocked Xia Yu.

So expensive?The high price was beyond Xia Yu's expectations. The average price of weapons on the shelves was between [-] and [-] molas. As a result, five pieces of kitchen utensils cost [-] molas! "Isn't it too expensive?" Xia Yu, who was trying to bargain, looked at the wooden box handed over by the old blacksmith's apprentice.

"This is not possible. These two kitchen knives are made of a lot of good materials. High-purity star silver ore produced from the dangerous Longji Snow Mountain and white iron, which is better than ordinary iron ore in terms of hardness and ductility. Mine, and also added crystal ore powder for quenching, you will understand when you listen to the steel fire of this blade."

The old blacksmith Wagner picked up the trumpet hammer and gently tapped the blade. The crisp and sweet sound and the long echo made Xia Yu's heart move involuntarily.

It’s amazing, the quality of these two kitchen knives actually exceeds the knives I used before!
