Original God, the beginning continues Liyue martial arts

Because of this funding, Grand Master Falga personally summoned Krips and raised Leggenfind's title by one level in front of other high-ranking members of the Knights Templar.

Faced with the envious or jealous looks from others, Cripps acted quite indifferent.

He just wanted to live like a real knight.

With sufficient supply of materials, a new group of strong fighting forces joined.

Logically speaking, even if the evil dragon Ursa cannot be killed, it should be possible to replicate the achievements of the first leader Vanessa and expel it.

But it was somewhat unexpected that Jean, Diluk, Eula... these young people who not only practiced the Seven Stars Art but also obtained the Eye of God, could not block even a single move from Ursa.

Even when Farga took action himself, he could only barely tie with the evil dragon, and most of the time, he was at a disadvantage.

Looking at his son lying in the cult, wrapped in bandages, and the younger generations who grew up under his attention.

Cripps clenched his fists.

That night, he rode a fast horse and returned to his territory.

He also took out a black and white stick-shaped object that he named the Evolution Trustee from a safe hidden underground.

That night a month ago, Cripps told a lie to his wife.

He actually knew the name of the stick, and he knew more clearly what it meant to him.

Because at the end of the 'dream', the giant had already told him everything.

If he had suddenly gained such power when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, Krips would probably have been so excited that he could not control himself and even wanted to show off his power in front of others a few times.

But now, after experiencing half of his life, he understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

If you want to use any powerful force, you have to pay an equal price.

"So, what is your price?"

Klips asked softly as he stroked the Evolution Truster with his palm.

Because of the evil dragon, most of the people living in the suburbs of Mondstadt moved into Mondstadt, while a few gathered together for warmth and fled to Liyue with their families.

Everyone understands that if Ursa cannot be resolved, Mond may face the biggest crisis since its founding.

"If the wind god Barbatos were still alive..."

“Perhaps, he is among us right now.”

"Pray to the wind god. With his power, he will surely be able to stop this disaster."

……

As Cripps walked down the street, all he could hear were conversations escaping from reality.

As one of the few sober people in Mond, he had long passed the stage of feeling sorry for others' misfortune and being angry at their lack of resistance.

He just went to the headquarters of the Knights Templar again and found Grand Master Farga.

No one knows what the two said.

But early the next morning, Falga made a high-profile announcement that he was going to expand the cavalry squadron into a cavalry squadron, and Diluk would continue to serve as the captain of the squadron.

In addition, the Knights have reached a further cooperative relationship with Leggenfon and will purchase a large amount of logistical supplies through the Leggenfon Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing Kaeya signing the agreement on his behalf, Diluk gradually recovered his health.

Wu Huo Yi Scar Ling Jiu Ling Moxibustion

The last bit of hesitation in Cripps' heart disappeared.

After confirming the information that the dragon Ursa was flying towards Mondstadt through the scout knight, he came to the main entrance alone.

Take out the Evolution Truster and hold it high above your head.

wow——

Under the surprised and then shocked gazes of countless Mond citizens, Krips turned into spots of light in the sky in an instant, like a cube of ice in summer.

Then, a giant almost ten meters tall suddenly appeared in the sky above Mond City.

"that is?!"

"Cripps turned into a demon?!"

"how come?"

"It's saved, we're saved!"

……

The nobles were silent, the knights were puzzled, and the people cheered.

Even though no one knows the true name of the demon that Krips transformed into, everyone understands that in front of the demon, a mere evil dragon is not worth mentioning at all!

that's the truth.

The unknown demon god, facing the evil dragon flying towards him, simply raised his arms and made an 'L' gesture.

Then, extremely rich colorful light gathered from all around, and in the next second, it turned into dazzling white light, continuously shooting out from the demon god's arm.

Under the attack of the light, the evil dragon Usa didn't even have time to react before his head and body were separated into two halves.

His body fell to the ground, creating two holes in the grass outside the moat.

The unknown demon god seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and the red pattern of a flying bird on his chest kept flashing.

Then, just as it appeared, it turned into countless points of light, and the entire 'person' disappeared.

125 The Story of Stanley - The Clown

Hans Archibald was walking down the street, listening to the discussion of the new Mond hero, Cripps.

His expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of complexity in his heart.

More than two months ago, in front of most of the people of Mondstadt, Krips transformed into a giant of light and single-handedly defeated the evil dragon that even the first Grand Commander Vanessa had failed to kill.

Although he lost all his strength afterwards, even the Seven Lights Chakra and internal force he had gained through training over the past few years disappeared.

But because of his existence, the entire Leggenfend family was later dubbed the "true knight".

Don't get me wrong, Hans neither envied nor was he jealous of the hero of Mond.

As a former adventurer, he knew very well that fame and power often meant a huge price.

Just like...

"Stanley, you're here to drink today too."

The welcome voices of the drinkers rang in my ears.

Hans, no, 'Stanley' smiled when he heard this: "Yeah, Mond is under martial law recently. If you don't drink, what else can you do?"

“Although it’s not free at all, it’s better than losing your life.”

"Too."

As drinkers, once they have drunk too much, there are only two topics left for them to talk about: the opposite sex and national affairs.

The owner of the Cat's Tail Tavern is a woman. She uses her remaining rationality to tell the drunkards that if they say something offensive, they might be kicked out directly.

So, I can only talk about the major events that happened in Mond recently.

"Speaking of Grandpa Cleveland, he is truly a role model among the Knights. I heard that he trained for nearly thirty years in order to join the Knights. It was not until a few years ago that he passed the apprenticeship assessment and trained in the Knights' training ground with a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old children."

"Who said it wasn't true? I felt that my grandfather was extraordinary. If he didn't have a title, I would definitely help him."

"Come on, I remember you laughed at Cripps and thought he was a clown."

"You! How can you defame someone's innocence?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

"..."

Perhaps he had really done this before, the man who was speaking looked around, and paused slightly when he saw Stanley drinking alone.

"Speaking of which, Stanley, haven't you been to many places?"

"Hmm, what's up?"

Stanley's cheeks were slightly red, and he looked drunk.

"Then have you ever heard of the name of the demon god who gave Grandpa Klips the power?" the man asked, with a yearning expression on his face. "A distant relative of mine who is known to the Knights mentioned to me when he came back last time that Grandpa Klips had a dream about the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. After waking up, he gained the ability to transform into a giant of light."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other drinkers stopped talking and turned their eyes to him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Stanley fell silent upon hearing this.

He did not choose to answer directly: "Didn't Grandpa Cripps say that? The giant he transformed into is called Nexter."

"But that's the name of the giant, not the demon who gave him his power."

"That's right, Stanley, although you have been to many places, I don't think you will encounter a being like the Demon God."

"Tsk, do you really think he's some great adventurer? It's fine if you just listen to his stories as bedtime fairy tales, but if you really believe them, I'd start to doubt your intelligence."

“It’s possible that even those words describing the scene of the Sea of ​​Silence were heard by this guy from somewhere else…”

——Bang!

Stanley slammed the table, interrupting the mocking man.

"I, 'Stanley', have actually been to the Sea of ​​Silence."

He looked at the drunkard not far away. At this moment, there was no sign of drunkenness on his face.

That drunkard, I already said he was a drunkard.

He only dared to talk nonsense after getting drunk, and was now being looked at seriously by Stanley.

He was already drowsy, but he suddenly sobered up a lot.

"Uh, sorry, I-I didn't mean to do that."

He didn't care whether Stanley had been to the Sea of ​​​​Silence or not, but the uniform on the other party that only adventurers could wear was enough to prove one thing. If he angered Stanley, he would inevitably be beaten up.

"..."

Seeing the other party give in, Stanley sighed inwardly.

He took out the Mora and placed it on the table.

"This is the wine money."

Then, he walked out of the Cat's Tail Tavern.

It was not until his figure completely disappeared that the pub, which had been filled with tension, gradually returned to its noisy state.

"You are really fearless. You dare to provoke the 'Great Adventurer' Stanley."

"You guys sound like you believed what that guy said."

"As for the story, it's okay as long as it's interesting. Don't take it too seriously."

"But judging from Stanley's appearance, he seems to have really been to the Sea of ​​Silence?"

"So what if you've been there? So what if you haven't been there? What does it have to do with us?"

"Yes, drink, drink."

"However, he may have a hard time during this period. Compared with a real hero, a great adventurer is nothing at all."

……

Hans leaned against the wall, listening to the discussion in the tavern.

He knew he was living like a clown.

From the moment he returned to Mond and began to tell Stanley's story, he was just an actor swaying on the stage.

But Hans didn't care, as long as everyone could remember his friend Stanley.

Then it's all worth it.

The past ten years or so were actually fine, and my strength hadn’t declined.

From time to time, he was able to demonstrate the strength of a great adventurer, helping many people in the Adventurer's Association and making them remember Stanley.

But in the past two years, as he got older, even though he practiced the Seven Meridians Expansion Techniques and the Seven Stars True Skills well, his strength began to slowly decline.
