Then, Huixin addressed the Qianyan Army and their entourage behind her:

"You guys go and unload the goods ordered by Dawn Winery first. I'll handle the rest of the wine purchases."

Adeline said, "You must all be tired from your long journey. We have prepared rooms and food for you, so you can rest now."

Adeline's eyes flickered as she looked at the people from Liyue who were escorting her, and that they were not adventurers commissioned by the Adventurers' Guild, but rather the Thousand Rock Army.

It seems this trip isn't just for business negotiations; there must be some diplomatic matters involved as well…

Adeline glanced subtly at Jiang Ning and Shen He, who were curiously looking around.

These two are quite distinguished, and they're unfamiliar faces... I need to inform Lord Diluc immediately.

Several thoughts flashed through her mind, but she remained outwardly unchanged, simply fulfilling her duties as head maid and receiving distinguished guests when her master was not at home.

"Sister Huixin, my senior sister and I would like to take a walk around the area, is that alright?"

Jiang Ning had absolutely no interest in such business discussions.

Huixin looked at Adeline: "Could you do me a favor?"

Adeline smiled and said, "Of course, please feel free to do so. If you would like to try our winery's grapes, please pick them yourself. Now is the season when grapes are sweet and juicy."

Then, Huixin and Adeline entered the manor, while Jiang Ning and Shen He wandered among the grapevines covering the hillside.

These grapes were absolutely delicious, and they even attracted tiny elemental creatures, the Wind Crystal Butterflies.

"Senior sister, you should try it, these grapes are really good."

Jiang Ning tasted one first, then picked another, wiped it on his clothes, and handed it to Shen He.

Shen He ate it and then said, "Delicious..."

Dawn Winery is very large, and its architectural style is completely different from that of Liyue.

If Liyue is like a classical homeland with its architecture, then Mondstadt's architecture is European in style, and it also has a large windmill that Liyue doesn't have.

Within Mondstadt, there is no heavy, reassuring rock element, but rather a pervasive breeze that evokes a sense of peace and freedom.

For Jiang Ning, who had always stayed in Liyue Harbor, this was a novel experience.

Time always flies when you're on a tour, and before you know it, it's dinner time.

As darkness fell, fireflies flickered faintly among the grapevines.

Jiang Ning led Shen He indoors, where for some reason it was very quiet and gave off a cold feeling.

This made Jiangning, who was used to the hustle and bustle, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs, and there was more than one.

Huixin walked down with a handsome young man, while the head maid she had met during the day followed respectfully behind her.

The young man had long, fiery hair, a handsome yet aloof face, and wore a black leather jacket and trench coat, which made him look very capable.

This is... Jiang Ning wondered.

This is the owner of Château Dawn, from the Legonfinde family, one of the three most prominent families in Mondstadt. Diluc Legonfinde is a nobleman from Mondstadt.

The system provides a thoughtful introduction.

Jiang Ning thought to himself, "So this is the person I need to discuss things with..."

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Hui Xin said, "Jiang Ning, let me introduce you, this is..."

Jiang Ning said, "Lord Diluc, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've long admired your name."

Diluc's usually calm eyes flickered slightly when he saw Jiang Ning, and he slowly said:

"Jiang Ning...a rising star of Yuehaiting, a disciple of the immortals, whose name I have long admired."

Huixin said, "Since you both know each other, there's no need for introductions, Mr. Diluc. Regarding our discussion just now..."

Diluc said, "Don't worry, Dawn Winery will definitely be able to deliver on time. During this period, all your expenses in Mondstadt will be covered by Dawn Winery."

Huixin also said reservedly, "We have great faith in the reputation of Dawn Winery, and we have been cooperating with the Leygenfender family for so long, we have the patience to do this."

Diluc nodded slightly: "A small banquet has been prepared at the winery. We hope that everyone from Liyue can grace us with their presence to celebrate the achievement of our cooperation... Please."

Huixin said, "Thank you, please."

Jiang Ning followed behind.

Looking at Diluc, he felt that this young man was not simple.

Although not physically imposing, he possesses the strength of a cheetah.

Moreover, there was a faint feeling of intense heat around him, so he must be the primordial god of fire... but I didn't see his God's Eye.

Furthermore, this person just revealed some of their information, and they haven't even been in Liyue Harbor for a year yet. Their intelligence is quite extraordinary.

However, what Jiang Ning cared about most was... how tall this person was.

[In my opinion, no one is as cute as you, host. Besides, being that tall is useless; it makes you a big target and prone to oxygen deprivation.]

The system said.

Jiang Ning's face darkened: "Please shut up."

The system promptly shut up.

After taking his seat, Jiang Ning looked around at the surroundings. This was the kind of restaurant that he had only seen in castles in movies before. It was very novel.

Diluc said, "I don't know what your tastes are like, so I took the liberty of preparing some Mondstadt specialties. I hope you enjoy them."

The rest of the time was spent exchanging toasts and engaging in mutual flattery.

Everything was left to Huixin, with Jiang Ning occasionally offering a few words of agreement.

In short, he was still not used to this atmosphere. It seems that Diluc also didn't like this process of mutual flattery while wearing masks, so he simplified and shortened it.

After dinner, Huixin and Diluc discussed some cooperation matters before going back to rest.

Because they were in an unfamiliar place, Jiang Ning did not share a room with Shen He tonight.

Jiang Ning climbed out the window and sat on the roof, looking at the stars of Mondstadt.

But over time, he noticed that these stars... why didn't they move? Moreover, there was no sign of them twinkling, and the occasional shooting star that streaked across the sky gave the impression of being perfunctory.

He just felt he was too tired, shook his head, and went back to his room to rest.

64. Mondstadt...so free! (Bounty pending)

The next morning, the team that came to Liyue was to split into two groups.

One group stayed at the Dawn Winery to await the goods, while the other group went to Mondstadt with Jiang Ning and Shen He.

Most of the Thousand Rock Army stayed at the winery, since this trip to Mondstadt was on their territory, and a few bodyguards were enough.

Too many people going there can easily give the impression of a protest.

Diluc followed along on a black steed.

"So, Lord Diluc, you also have a bar in Mondstadt?"

Jiang Ning had never been to a bar before and was quite curious.

"May I go and take a look?"

Diluc said, "We are naturally welcome to be guests of Liyue. However, you are not old enough to drink alcohol. You can try Mondstadt apple cider, which is a juice and not an alcoholic beverage."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Ning was mainly curious about the atmosphere inside; as for drinks and such, he politely declined.

"Also, Lord Diluc, have you heard of the guerrilla squad leader, Yura Lawrence?"

Diluc frowned. "Yura Lawrence? I know her. What do you want with her?"

Jiang Ning said, "Well, it's a friend of hers from Liyue. She asked me to bring her some things."

Diluc pondered for a moment: "Hmm, the guerrilla squad's area of ​​operation is basically in the area of ​​Jingfu Port, but it's still quite a distance from Mondstadt. However, they occasionally return to Mondstadt to rest and resupply..."

"Regarding Yura Lawrence, I think you can go to Mondstadt and find a scout knight named Amber."

Jiang Ning finally heard a familiar name: Amber, Earl Rabbit. Isn't this my tutorial teacher, and also the girl who gave me the Wind Wings?

The task of the Wings of Wind exam back then completely baffled the people in Jiangning.

In the end, I had to ask my roommate to make the call.

Yes, that's right, Jiang Ning is the kind of person who's terrible at games.

Huixin also said at the right time, "If you have other plans, then go ahead. You can leave all the other formal work to me."

Jiang Ning's face lit up with joy: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Huixin."

Huixin smiled and said, "You're welcome. Lord Ganyu and Lord Ningguang already gave me instructions before I set off."

Gan Yu has already said that her two junior brothers and sisters came out this time just to see the customs and culture of different countries.

By the way, give them a break, and also deal with some difficult enemies.

You are the main force in doing the work.

The journey to Mondstadt was not peaceful or tranquil.

Monsters would suddenly appear from time to time, including Hilichurl Kings and Fatui.

Especially the foolish crowd.

I don't know how to do it, but I know it's a long time

There were so many.

Moreover, they were openly robbing people.

Diluc's expression grew increasingly somber.

Diluc took direct action and killed these scoundrels.

Diluc then returned to the party, wiping his greatsword.

"I made you laugh."

"Mondstadt, why are there so many Fools?"
