For the people of Mondstadt, the Cider Lake has a special meaning.

This natural freshwater lake surrounding Mondstadt is an ice-free lake.

The vast lake surface and sparkling waves have remained unchanged for thousands of years. The water is crystal clear and the entrance is refreshing and sweet.

It is this kind of water source that has made Mondstadt famous for its fine wines, and also made the Cider Lake one of the important symbols of Mondstadt.

Its existence can be regarded as the natural city wall of Mondstadt. If you want to enter the city of Mondstadt, in addition to swimming across the wide lake, you can only pass through the only bridge.

And that bridge... is guarded by "heavy troops" every day.

But the Knight of the West Wind, who was responsible for guarding the bridge today, discovered a strange man standing on the other end of the bridge.

He was squatting on the ground with a serious face, talking righteously to a strange cat with a red body.

Weird, right?

But this is not the first time.

Before this strange man made such a move, there was another guy dressed as a bard, leaning on the bridge to communicate with the ducks in the water, and sitting on the ground chatting with the pigeons.

When the conversation got exciting, he would lie on the floor laughing.

People nowadays... are sick and still need to be treated.

"Meow!!"

Regardless of what everyone in the Knights of the West Wind thinks of this pairing, the cat that Diluc transformed into has not yet turned into a human. He is trying hard to bite Shiro's trousers and try to drag him away from Mondstadt.

Didn't I just leave after saying that I had helped you? What do you mean? Just turn around and forget?

"Hey, hey, what's that look in your eyes? Do you think I haven't fulfilled my contract?"

Regarding the contract he made with Diluc, I can only say that Lu Maomao, who has been promoted from young master to master, is still a little too young.

In this seemingly fair contract, Bai Luo was able to find at least dozens of loopholes.

For example, a contract made in front of the Statue of the Wind God does not count, it has no effect without the witness of Morax, a verbal contract can only be treated as a joke, a contract between a human and a cat cannot be counted, etc...

But in order to give Lu Maomao some face, Bai Luo decided to use an explanation that the other party could accept.

"Didn't we agree? If you help me find what I want, I will leave this place, but you didn't help me find it. To say the least, even if you helped me find it, what I said is [here]

I’m referring to the Valley of Fallen Stars, you don’t think I’m talking about Mondstadt, right?”

"..."

Even Diluc, who has been in shopping malls for a long time, almost spit out a mouthful of blood after hearing Bai Luo's natural remarks.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.

Even the most treacherous businessman he had ever seen, compared to Bai Luo... was as kind as a good person.

"Okay, okay, I've already come to Mondstadt. At least I have to report in, right? I will never take the initiative to cause trouble."

Bai Luo casually pinched the back of Diluc's neck, and under his desperate gaze, Bai Luo led him into Mondstadt.

Speaking of Mondstadt, it has many names in the mouths of bards.

Bright Crown in the North, the City of Pastoral... In the eyes of the Mondlanders, no amount of words of praise are enough to describe this wonderful city.

Compared with the last time, Mondstadt's defensive strength was significantly lower.

For example, in terms of doormen, the two Zephyr Knights look very immature, giving people the feeling of rushing a duck to the shelves.

"Welcome to Mondstadt, traveler."

The West Wind knight named Swann noticed that Bai Luo was looking at him and responded to him with a smile that was not very sincere.

No matter how you look at it, Bai Luo's black attire is suspicious, but his face with a smile on his face every day gives people the feeling that he is a good person.

So Swann habitually performed a very standard knightly ceremony and said to Bai Luo.

"I am Swann of the Knights of the West Wind. I will provide you with the necessary help according to the "Knights Guidance Manual."

But Diluc, who was held in Bai Luo's hand, frowned slightly after seeing this scene.

This is the knight of the Knights of the West Wind today, and there is no comparison with what it was back then.

"Then can you tell me what fun places there are in Mondstadt?"

"..."

Bai Luo's answer was Swann's long silence and slightly embarrassed expression.

The two looked at each other, but Swann was ultimately defeated.

"...Sorry sir, this question is not written in the "Knights' Instruction Manual."

"..."

When Bai Luo saw him being silent, he thought the other party was wondering if he was a spy or something like that, but he didn't expect that he didn't know how to answer.

Lu Maomao directly covered his face with his paws.

It's shameless to look at it. It's so embarrassing that you can scratch out a "Ogihua Sketch" on Bai Luo.

Can such a knighthood really be able to protect Mondstadt?

In fact, Diluc didn't know that the grand leader would take away so many elites. In addition to the need for so many manpower, it was because of the arrival of Bai Luo, the scourge, that the influence of the Fools in Mondstadt was greatly reduced.

But Lord Falga did not expect that Bai Luo, the scourge, would come back so soon.

After entering Mondstadt, Lu Maomao, who was pinched by the back of the neck by Bai Luo, began to struggle desperately.

Regarding Bai Luo's matter, it was too urgent. He needed to inform Qin and Kaiya.

Bai Luo didn't force him to stay, he let him go casually.

After Diluc landed on all fours, amid the exclamations of the residents of Mondstadt, he skillfully climbed up the building and disappeared on the roof.

"Sir, be careful if your cat gets lost."

Seeing this, people passing by kindly reminded Bai Luo.

"It doesn't matter, his home is right here."

Nodding to the kind passerby, Bai Luo stopped caring about Diluc's affairs and walked towards the Goethe Hotel.

The Goethe Hotel was originally one of the largest hotels in Mondstadt.

Since the Fools settled in Mondstadt, this place has been completely occupied by the Fools and has become the stronghold of the Fools' envoy.

The Fools mostly work here, and Bai Luo also has his own room in this hotel.

"Teach...Master Instructor!"

The crowd of fools guarding the door are still the same crowd of fools named Luke.

Although he was a little surprised to see Bai Luo's arrival, he was not surprised at all.

Because the fools who came from Daozhu had already reported to Mondstadt, the big shot like Bai Luo had not yet appeared.

But compared to the fools who came here from Inazuma, the people here have long been accustomed to his style.

"Is Anastasia here?"

Anastasia is the counselor of the Fools, and besides Bai Luo, she is also the Fools with the highest official position in Mondstadt.

When Bai Luo was away, all the work of the Fools in Mondstadt was entrusted to her.

"The counselor went to the Knights of the West Wind and hasn't come back yet. Do I need my subordinates to inform her?"

Taking a deep breath, Luke puffed up his chest and reported.

It depends on whether he can be promoted from being a doorman to serving tea. Of course, he will not let this opportunity pass him by.

"No, let her come to see me when she comes back."
