I see myself in Genshin Impact

After walking around the market in Qingquan Town and asking some people for their views on the recent situation, most people had a pessimistic attitude towards Mondstadt's future.

An ordinary resident of Qingquan Town said: "Recently, the White Dragon King Vortigeng has begun to mobilize the army again. I don't know if he will come over."

A businessman with more sensitive information said: "There are many Monds people gathered at Shimen, and a small force is rising. They accept homeless Monds people, and they seem to have more development potential."

A hunter who often hunts said: "It is difficult to hunt prey in the forest now. When there was a protected area in the past, the treasure thieves and Qiuqiu people would not come in. But now, the protected area is gone and everyone can go in and search." Prey, our harvest is getting less and less, I really don’t know when King Uther will wipe them out!"

A drunkard who just came out of the bar early in the morning said: "The wine at Chenxi Winery is getting more and more expensive. I don't know if they are planning to recruit soldiers. If so, I will go there immediately. At least it's free there." drink wine!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Merlin knew that this was the worst moment for Mondstadt when Lady Vanessa became queen thousands of years ago. He looked down at Arthur in his arms and whispered: "Little guy, Mondstadt My future depends entirely on you."

After staying in Qingquan Town for three more days, on the morning of the fourth day, Merlin was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He opened his eyes, looked out the window, and found that it was already past five in the morning, so he got out of bed and opened the door. I saw the guardian knight standing at the door.

"Lord Merlin, the news has arrived."

"Well, where is the person His Majesty King Uther found?" Merlin opened the door and closed the door after the other party came in.

"Here..." The guarding knight took out the map from his pocket and spread it on the table. In the dim light of the morning, the other party pointed to the northeast of Mondstadt's Cider Lake, near the Whispering Forest.

"That's it..." Merlin, as the court mage, is very familiar with the main cities of Mondstadt. In the past, he also followed the young King Uther throughout Mondstadt.

Although the Whispering Forest is close to Mondstadt, it has rolling mountains and dense forests. There are also many small villages nearby. It is a pity that a hunting gathering place like Qingquan Town has not developed because there used to be Qiuqiu people there. The agglomeration, coupled with the sparse population, has not developed, so it is not taken seriously.

Behind all this comes from a major incident that happened in Mondstadt a hundred years ago.

A hundred years ago, the Whispering Forest was not like this. It was bordered by Mondstadt to the west, the Great Plains to the east, and there were huge lakes. You could even walk all the way to the seaside. It was actually a good place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. There was a The ancient main city stands there, and there are rumors that if it weren't for the fact that it was far away from Windrise Land, Lady Vanessa might have chosen it as the royal capital of Mondstadt.

But a past incident ruined the future of the Whispering Forest, turning it into a place dominated by Qiuqiu people. Villages were sparse, the main city was broken, and most of the people were gone, turning it into Mondstadt. of a retirement home.

Of course, there were rumors that Lady Vanessa was destined to choose Mondstadt as the royal capital. This was decided from the beginning. Merlin knew some inside information but did not disclose it to the outside world.

"Yes, the people King Uther found are said to be a family of personal guards who once served him in the palace." The guard knight said.

"Oh...King Uther's personal bodyguards live in the Whispering Forest. Could they be Testarossa's family..." Merlin thought about it and murmured.

Mondstadt Zephyr Cathedral Backyard

Sitting on a bench, leaning lazily on the backrest, Sister Rosalia, one of the secret guardians of Mondstadt, known as the 'Crown of Thorns', is enjoying a rare free time.

She discovered a lot of spies in Mondstadt during the day. After marking them all, she confirmed them bit by bit and found that they were all here to keep an eye on the troublesome person who had just arrived in Mondstadt recently - Yu Piaoling. of.

Because the Knights of the West Wind had taken over this matter, and since Captain Qin and Director Lisa had both moved into each other's houses, Rosalia stopped paying attention to him.

No one can get a good deal from Captain Qin, let alone Lisa.

Holding the phone and watching the fun inside is what Rosalia often does these days. It is better than going to the church to pray.

"What are you praying for? Lord Barbatos is at the Temple of the Thousand Winds, isn't he? He comes here once a week. If you really want to pray, just pray in front of him! Pretend!"

This is Rosalia's evaluation of the other nuns in the cathedral. She hates doing this kind of thing. In comparison, she prefers to take the initiative to do things that are beneficial to Mondstadt.

Merlin in the video happened to be talking about Testarossa at this time. Rosalia, who was originally lazy, immediately sat up in shock.

"Testarosa...isn't that...my family?"

Chapter 158 The King of Knights: The First Barbara

"Sister Rosalia, Sister Rosalia!"

A sweet and lovely female voice sounded from behind, interrupting Rosalia's surprise. After taking a light breath, she calmed down and turned to look.

I saw a nun wearing a blue and white priest uniform standing behind me. She had flaxen hair tied into a cute twin tail, gray-blue eyes, and a small blue box tied to her left waist. , inlaid with an aqua-blue Eye of God, the whole person looks like an idol. It is Barbara, the daughter of Simon Page, the cardinal of the Dawn of Zephyr Cathedral in Mondstadt, known as the "Prayer Priest" , of course she is also doing idol work in private. It is said that it is based on a book brought over by Keli’s mother, Alice, a magazine that can make everyone bloom. Based on the guidance above, she is working on Mondstadt. Idols are very popular because of their sweet voices, cute looks, and stable personalities. They are affectionately called "Sparkling Idols" among their fans.

Barbara had just discovered that the number of nuns praying was wrong. After counting, she found that Sister Rosalia had missed work again, so she immediately ran out to find her, hoping to take her back to participate in the choir prayer.

Even though she knew that Rosalia was not interested in those things, Barbara still wanted Rosalia to participate. After all, if she didn't participate, how could she be interested?

Of course, this is also Barbara's wishful thinking.

Seeing Barbara, Rosalia rubbed her head in pain. She knew that Barbara was a kind-hearted and good child who was not wary of everyone. Like Noel of the Knights of the West Wind, she was a Mondstadt. There are few good people in the city, but she is really not suitable to participate, not only because of her past. Even now, as she has grown up and got rid of the entanglement of the dark past, she is still interested in praying, singing and other church functions. The activity does not arouse interest.

If it weren't for the high salary she got from being a nun and the fact that she was too lazy to be a 996 adventurer, she would have left long ago.

"It's you again...Barbara." Rosalia put the phone aside and looked at her without getting up, with an unhappy expression on her face.

Barbara didn't care about Rosalia's mood, but trotted to her side and took a few deep breaths. She had just ran out of the church and had been looking for Rosalia for a while. So I'm a little short of breath now.

And Rosalia didn't ask why she ran out. She just looked at her quietly. She knew that the other party would not skip the choir activities, so she waited for Barbara to speak and planned to find an excuse to excuse her. .

"Sister Rosalia..."

After Barbara calmed down her breathing, she asked, "Why didn't you participate in the choir activities?"

"Tsk! I've told you more than once, I'm not interested in these things..." Rosalia turned her head and said with an unhappy attitude. Of course, she didn't hate Barbara, she just didn't like to participate in activities. .

"No, you have to try it even if you are not interested. This is what we, as followers of the Wind God, must do. We must be responsible for the nun uniforms we wear!" Barbara said sincerely.

"Okay, okay..." Rosalia nodded, not intending to continue the conversation, but changed the subject: "You see you are tired too, why not sit down and have a rest, otherwise I won't go back with you. , if you let others know that you are so tired because of looking for me, it will be difficult for me to explain."

"Okay then, I'll take a rest first, but only for a little while! Then you have to go back with me immediately!"

Barbara also realized that her current state was not good, so she sat next to Sister Rosalia.

"..."

Listening to Barbara's serious words, Rosalia curled her lips, then picked up her phone and continued watching, while Barbara next to her also looked over curiously.

The time for choir prayer is fixed, so when Yu Piao Ling's video was updated recently, Barbara didn't know it. She and the other nuns were not interested in Yu Piao Ling's video. They all thought it was the same as Timmy's video in the past. It's just that in his previous life, he was a blacksmith, so there was nothing interesting about him.

They didn't even know that Liuyue City had appeared in Guyun Pavilion in Liyue Port.

"Who is this?" Barbara asked curiously.

"The one standing here is the great magician of Mondstadt's court, named Merlin, and the one next to him is the guardian knight." Rosalia explained briefly.

"Oh, Merlin, do we have this person in Mondstadt? Is he the protagonist of this video? Is he also a past life?"

"No, the protagonist is the little guy on the bed next to him, named Yu Piao Ling. By the way, there doesn't seem to be anyone named Merlin in Mondstadt."

"Oh ~ Palace Mage, is it the period of the rule of the nobles thousands of years ago? Or is it the period of the rule of the tornado demon?" Barbara doesn't know the timeline, because in the current Teyvat, Mondstadt does not have a palace. In terms of words, the only ones that can truly represent the official state are the Knights of the West Wind and the Cathedral of the West Wind, although the Church of the West Wind is also under the jurisdiction of the Knights of the West Wind.

"No, it's at this time." Rosalia explained.

In the video, Merlin is already holding Yu Piao Ling, taking the guardian knights with him, and rushing towards the Whispering Forest. From Qingquan Town, this journey takes about half a month. In the video, Merlin appears from time to time asking the guardian knights to help Yu Piao Ling. The scene where Piao Ling gets milk to drink, and when it rains, she takes shelter from the rain. The priority is to ensure that Piao Ling doesn't get sick, rather than marching in the rain.

This period of time was not short, and there were only a few barrages. Rosalia took the opportunity to tell Barbara some about Yu Piao Ling's video.

"Huh? Liyue Sword Master? Rice Wife Sword Master! And Mondstadt Knight King?" Barbara exclaimed, the expression on her face changing color again and again, it was very exciting.

"Yes." Rosalia nodded.

"I didn't expect that such a person exists. Do we have him in Mondstadt?" Barbara took out her mobile phone and clicked on the video. She had forgotten about the choir activities, and this was exactly what happened. This is Rosalia's brilliance.

"Yes, he is in our city of Mondstadt..."

Remembering that the leader of the Knights, Qin, was living with Yu Piaoling, Rosalia didn't know if she should tell her at this time. She knew about the sisterly relationship between Barbara and Qin, but Captain Qin should be doing surveillance at this time. The nature of the work was difficult to disclose to Barbara.

The relationship between Barbara and Qin is very complicated now. Barbara will call Qin the acting leader, and Qin will call her Barbara. The two are already a bit estranged. Although they are biological sisters, Qin has been After becoming the agent of the knight leader, she was busy with work, and Barbara was also working on her own idol career. Although the two were not far apart, they had not seen each other for a long time.

Shaking her head, Rosalia had no intention of intervening in this matter. It was Barbara's private matter, and she did not intend to reveal Jean's current state.

"Testarossa, it may be my misunderstanding. There are many people with this surname in Mondstadt, and it may not necessarily be my family..."

Rosalía watched Barbara immersed in the video on her mobile phone, raised her head and glanced at the bright moon in the sky, a flash of memory flashed in her eyes.

PS: I originally planned to replace Yu Piaoling’s name with Arthur in the King of Knights chapter to increase the sense of immersion, but I gave up... I can’t stand the multiple name changes, so I’ll just continue to use the name Yu Piaoling. Dear readers, I’m sorry~.

Chapter 159: The King of Knights: The First Rosalia

In the video, Merlin took Yu Piaoling and the Guardian Knight to the northern part of the Whispering Forest in about half a month.

This place is already close to the Wangfeng Mountains, where other forces are entrenched, so this place was originally quite chaotic, but fortunately, after King Uther defeated Vortigern, the place finally became quieter.

At noon, in a small mountain village, Merlin found the men arranged by King Uther, Weston Testarossa and Ellie Testarossa.

Weston Testarossa was King Uther's personal guard when he was young, and Ellie Testarossa was King Uther's maid. After the two fell in love, they left Mondstadt and settled in their hometown. , less than six years have passed, so they also know Merlin, the great magician of the palace.

Seeing the appearance of Weston and Ellie, Rosalia's pupils in front of the screen shrank slightly, then she pursed her lips and continued reading.

Weston Testarossa looks tall and powerful, while Ellie looks petite and cute. Both of them have burgundy hair.

"Lord Merlin, we already know your purpose of coming." Weston greeted Merlin and others into the room, while Ellie took out a few pastries and placed them on the table, and then said.

"Lord Merlin, and the guardian knights, are you hungry? Eat something first."

"Thank you very much." Merlin and the guardian knights nodded. After thanking him, he and Weston chatted at the table while eating.

"The time is urgent, and King Uther still needs me by his side, so I will keep the story short."

Merlin picked up a piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and said solemnly.

"This child is called Arthur Pendragon. He is the illegitimate son of King Uther. Your Majesty hopes that he can grow up safely."

Merlin did not tell Weston and Ellie the true situation, on the one hand, for safety reasons, and on the other hand, to hide Yu Piao Ling's gender.

"For this, Your Majesty has prepared a very generous reward. The people sent by His Majesty should have told you about this."

"Yes, I know this." After all, Weston and Ellie have left Mondstadt for six years. They are not sure whether King Uther will have an illegitimate child, but combined with King Uther's love affair when he was young, , plus the reason for his surname, there is no doubt that he is involved.

"Is there anything we need to do?" Ellie asked.

"No, you don't need to do anything more. You just need to raise him safely. In the future, His Majesty will secretly send him away from Mondstadt," Merlin explained.

"Oh, we know." Weston and Ellie looked at each other, knowing that His Majesty King Uther had his own arrangements, so they stopped worrying.

As people who have been in the palace, they know what to ask and what not to ask. Maybe nothing Merlin said now is true, but they must listen seriously and do it seriously.

"The houses of other guardian knights are also ready and are nearby."

Then, Weston stood up and took several guardian knights to a few houses not far next door. These were all bought by King Uther recently to house the guardian knights.

He couldn't just throw Yu Piao Ling to Weston and ignore it. After all, it was the oracle of Lord Fengshen. He would be the next king of Mondstadt in the future. If he died while growing up, the consequences could be imagined.

"Mother, who is here?"

While Merlin stayed in the house and continued to eat, while Ellie was watching over the rain, a small voice came from behind the door.

Merlin turned around and saw that it was Rosalía Testarossa, the daughter of Weston and Ellie mentioned in the intelligence.

She had long burgundy hair and was only five years old at the moment. She was wearing an ordinary peasant girl's clothes and looked at Merlin curiously with her light red eyes.

"Rosalia, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay in the house?" Ellie placed Yu Piao Ling next to the crib, walked to Rosaria, and scolded in a low voice.

"But, mother, I'm too bored to be alone, and counting cows is so boring..." Rosalia looked at Ellie with an innocent expression.

"You..." After hearing this, Ellie touched Rosalia's head helplessly, turned to Merlin and said: "I'm sorry, Lord Merlin, I originally wanted to let Rosalia stay in the room. , I didn’t expect her to run out.”

"Oh, it's okay. Is this your daughter?" Merlin smiled slightly, waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, then walked to the crib, picked up Yu Piao Ling, and walked towards Rosalia.

"I was originally worried that Arthur wouldn't be able to grow up alone. It just so happens that you have a daughter who must have experience in taking care of children, so it would be good for Arthur to have a playmate."

"Mother, this is..."

Looking at the little baby Merlin was holding, Rosalia stared at him curiously.

"..." Ellie turned to look at Merlin, who was silent, and said to Rosalia: "This is your brother, his name is Arthur."

"what?"

Rosalia was shocked when she heard her mother's words, and then said happily: "I have a younger brother? I won't be alone from now on?"

"Oh, are you always alone?" Merlin asked curiously after hearing the little girl's words.

"Yes, my father often goes out to the mountains to hunt, and my mother has to take care of the crops. They want me to take care of the cattle at home. It's so boring..." Rosalia curled her lips.

"So that's it..." Merlin smiled slightly and handed Yu Piao Ling to Rosalia. After seeing her holding Yu Piao Ling, her pupils flashed inexplicably and she said with a smile.

"Then, you will no longer be alone from now on, you must protect him..."

"Yes, I will!" Rosalia happily hugged Yu Piao Ling and nodded seriously.

"Even..." After hearing Rosalia's words, Merlin added: "Even if you give up everything you have, you must do it..."

"Huh?" Rosalia didn't understand Merlin's words, but she still nodded seriously.

"Lord Merlin?" Eileen didn't hear Merlin's last words clearly and asked him doubtfully.

"Haha, it's okay. I just told her a few words. This little girl is very good. With her here, I feel relieved."

Merlin straightened up and smiled at Ellie, then returned to the table and continued to eat his own food, leaving Ellie to look at his daughter, Rosalia, with worried eyes.

Rosalia, on the other hand, was happily hugging Yu Piaoling, who was sleeping soundly, and kept kissing his forehead with her little mouth, immersed in happiness, because after that, at home, she no longer looked after the house alone, but Got a younger brother.

This is a great thing for Rosalia.
