Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 12 Honorary Knight

After watching Alina leave, Huiyuan returned to his bedroom and entered the Dust Song Pot.

Seeing eight cats, he comforted Lina the cat.

"Lina, don't worry, Brother Huiyuan will have a way."

"Yes, yes, Brother Huiyuan is amazing! He beat all those fools to a pulp!"

When the cats saw Huiyuan arrive, they made way for her.

Huiyuan said in a gentle tone, "Lina, promise me you'll work hard to become stronger and become a child who can protect Mom and Dad, okay?"

Lina's sobs gradually subsided as she said, "Okay..."

Huiyuan looked at the other children and said, "This maid robot will arrange suitable courses for you. It will also be responsible for cooking, cleaning, and washing clothes. All you have to do is relax happily, learn happily, and play happily. If you want to come out and explore the outside world, you can ask it for permission, and I will take you out to play."

A group of children with cat ears and cat tails answered in unison.

After explaining the situation, Huiyuan had the robot design an outfit for them and dressed everyone up before leaving the Dust Song Pot.

After finishing dinner and taking a shower, Huiyuan, Sun Wu, and Chen Ping'an went back to their respective bedrooms to sleep.

Because he could never get up early, Huiyuan specially asked Sun Wu to wake him up in the early morning.

After getting up, I first used the system's built-in monitoring to check how the cats in the Dust Song Pot were doing.

"Very good. Without early reading, children should sleep more. Sleeping helps them grow taller. The maid robot is quietly preparing breakfast. Hmm... it looks nutritious."

After turning off the monitor screen with peace of mind, Huiyuan finished breakfast, did her morning exercises, took a nap, and leisurely headed to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Luminous was strolling around Mondstadt when she arrived at the Goethe Hotel, where she saw Jean with a female Fatui. Paimon and Luminous waited for them to finish their conversation.

The fool was named Anastasia; she looked like a Mondstadt person and wore a mask.

"Therefore, this is our stance. If we cannot immediately quell the rampaging dragon, it would be better to hand over the defenses of Mondstadt to the Fatui. The dragon scourge of Mondstadt can be dealt with, as long as we can subdue that beast..."

Before Anastasia could finish speaking, Jean said angrily, "A beast?"

"Hmm? What does the acting guild leader mean?"

With a long sigh, suppressing her emotions, Jean said, "I hope your country's diplomats can show a more professional attitude. You want to deal with one of Mondstadt's Four Winds Wardens? I don't want anyone saying such crazy things in front of the Knights of Favonius."

Anastasia chuckled, threatened Qin, and left. Ying then went up to her.

"Ah, Traveler, you're back. Thank you so much for your help. The elemental cycles around the city have finally stabilized. The aftermath of the Stormterror's last attack can be considered to have temporarily subsided."

"However, the pressure exerted by the mission has become so great that it is difficult to ignore."

Paimon asked blankly, "A mission? A diplomatic mission? From Liyue Harbor, or Inazuma Castle?"

After Paimon finished speaking, Huiyuan sneezed in the distance.

"It is the Kingdom of Winter, a country that worships the Ice God among the Seven Gods."

After Gin finished telling the story of the Fools, Ying and Gin returned to the Knights' headquarters. On the way, Gin shared a lot of knowledge with Ying.

The Foolish Clan's arrogant attitude, even their ambition to take over Mondstadt's defenses, makes it hard not to think of Mondstadt as just a small city. But in reality, Mondstadt and Winterbreak are equals, both being among the Seven Kingdoms of this world. Mondstadt is an independent city-state, while Winterbreak is simply a different name due to a different political system at the time of its founding.

At the entrance of the Knights' headquarters, Qin and Ying bumped into Huiyuan.

Qin looked at Huiyuan and asked in confusion, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Huiyuan. This is the first time you've seen me in this state, right? I'm the one who asked you to call me Li Tiantian before."

"Yes, it's you, Tian Tian... um... Mr. Huiyuan."

"From now on, call any man you see Huiyuan and any woman you see Litian. Please don't pause every time you address me, okay?"

"Alright, Mr. Huiyuan. Thank you for helping Mondstadt. May I ask what brings you to the Knights of Favonius? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Nothing much, just some free time. Came over to see if I could help. Let's go inside."

After greeting Ying, the group entered Qin's office.

Ying took out the red crystal she had obtained in the Whispering Forest and showed it to everyone.

Qin asked Lisa to examine it carefully. Lisa said, "Let me see... Hmm, I can see some dirt and impurities inside the crystal, but further research is..."

"It will take some time. I'll go to the restricted book section to find some information."

Qin crossed her arms and said, "I'll leave the rest of the investigation to you, Lisa."

"Well, I'll let everyone know if there's any progress. But don't expect too much help from the ancient documents. Besides, the filth and impurities in the crystals sting me when I get close; it's a repulsion from the Eye of God. This filthy power repels and entangles with the elemental forces within our bodies."

Lisa looked at Ying curiously and said, "That's strange. Travelers can use elemental power, yet they're unaffected. Anyway, let's leave this crystal to Little Cutie. Keeping it in our hands will only cause us more pain."

Ying stared blankly at Lisa, then looked at Huiyuan and said, "Little cutie?"

Huiyuan looked back at her with an expression that said, "Why are you looking at me? She's pointing at you."

Qin asked, "This is truly an incredible phenomenon. Do you have any clues about these unusual features on your body?"

Ying shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

“I think so too. So, traveler. This is the second time the Knights have made such a request. Please accept the title of Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, and the Acting Grand Master’s thanks.”

Huiyuan thought to herself, "How despicable, Qin! She actually put the symbol of status and words of gratitude together, taking the opportunity to curry favor with the little cutie. How is the little cutie... oh no, Ying, going to refuse!"

Jean spoke again, "Please help us once more to find the answers to these mysteries. The dragon's madness, and the strange crystals... I think the answers must be related to the peace of Mondstadt."

The musician, with the instrument floating on his chest, said to Huiyuan, "We also thank General Dawn for his help. After the disaster is over, we will send a sincere gift to your country to further enhance the friendship between our two nations."

"If there are any new discoveries, we'll meet again here."

Huiyuan gave an OK sign and left the Knights with Ying.

Paimon suddenly remembered something and said to Luminous, "There's something you didn't mention earlier. Besides the dragon and the crystal, there was clearly something else we saw..."

Huiyuan grinned wickedly, thinking, "You mean Stobaba, right? Paimon, you've committed heinous crimes, daring to call Lady Stobaba a thing!"

Ying said, "I want to investigate it myself first."

"Hmm, you do remember him. That green guy! Just like the passerby downstairs who's dressed in green."

Ying looked downstairs and said, "It's the same color, what a coincidence."

Paimon said proudly, "Right? Right?"

He pondered further, "However, I keep feeling that person... the more I look at them, the more they seem... to be the same person?!"

Huiyuan coughed and said, "I'm still here."

Paimon was startled: "Hey, what are you still doing here!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell Leader Qin. By the way, that green guy you pointed to ran away. Hurry up and chase after him."

Ying jumped over the fence and landed. But Tobassi quickly disappeared from sight.

Paimon uses his elemental vision to track the traces.

Huiyuan suddenly became alert and asked the system, "System, can I use Elemental Vision?"

"Yes, host, you've never used it. I thought you didn't want to use it, but it turns out you just don't know how. You're just a nobody~"

With veins bulging on his forehead, Huiyuan said to the system, whose tone was incredibly irritating, "Tsk, I just remembered this thing exists. How do I use it? Tell me quickly."

"Focus your attention on your eyes and feel the flow of elemental energy, and it will naturally be activated."

Focus your attention and activate your senses. Be fully aware of the presence of your eyes.

In an instant, the surrounding water droplets fell, the sound of them cutting through the air clearly audible, and the residual elemental force was visible. Time seemed to slow down, and a flood of information rushed into the brain. But this state didn't last long before it ended.

The scene from just now is still vivid in my mind; I remember every detail clearly, but it felt incredibly mentally taxing, and my head is a little sore.

The system then spoke in a mumbled, inarticulate voice: "Host, you're focusing too much. If you're just observing the residual elemental power, you don't need to concentrate so much."

"*Liyue's beautiful vocabulary*, how do I control my concentration?"

"You're just a nobody, host. (Voiceover: If you're bad, practice more.)"

After regaining her senses, Huiyuan caught up with Ying and chased her all the way to the square below the Wind God Statue.
