This MC is so original

Lu Xiu nodded and landed back on the ground with Amber in his arms. As soon as they landed, several Knights of Favonius came quickly towards them from a distance.

They were about to go forward to ask, but as soon as they came over, they saw that the person in Lucius' arms was Amber, the scout knight, so the Knights of Favonius turned around and left silently.

Since we have our own people here, there's nothing to worry about. Who knows, maybe Amber is playing some high-altitude play with her close friends!

The Knights of Favonius came and went, leaving Lucius somewhat confused. He looked down at Amber, who was still in his arms, and asked, "What do they mean?"

Amber shyly broke free from Kailuxiu's embrace, raised her index finger and gently scratched her hot cheek.

"Maybe they left because I'm here. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go to the Knights of Favonius."

Amber didn't want to talk about it any more, so she pushed Lu Xiu's back and walked towards the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

After a while, the two arrived at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius. The Knights of Favonius guarding the gate saw a strange man and wanted to go forward to ask, but when they saw Amber standing behind the strange man and pushing him intimately, they immediately looked away and pretended that they saw nothing.

When Lu Xiu saw the actions of the two guards, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it is easier to get things done when you have acquaintances, which saves a lot of trouble.

The same was true in Liyue. With Keqing around, he saved himself a lot of trouble when he first entered Liyue.

If it weren’t for Keqing, he would have had to fight the Thousand Winds Army when he first entered Liyue.

As soon as we entered the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, a teasing voice came from the side.

"Oh my, little Amber actually brought a man back? That's really strange."

The two turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a mature lady holding a book in her arms, holding her face with one hand, looking at them with a smile, her eyes full of gossip.

Amber immediately jumped out from behind Lu Xiu and angrily said to the woman, "Sister Lisa, don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh, little Amber, did you misunderstand something? I didn't say anything nonsense. I just said that you brought a man back. After all, as a scout knight, you wouldn't bring anyone back to the Knights of Favonius headquarters~"

Seeing Amber getting anxious, Lisa covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled with a look of pleasure, seeming to enjoy the feeling of teasing Amber.

"Sister Lisa!!!"

Amber ran to Lisa in shame and anger, and gently hit Lisa's chest with her little pink fists, but from the soft movements, it seemed that there was no killing power at all.

After teasing Amber a few times, Lisa stopped teasing her. After all, if she teased her too much, she would get angry, and then there would be no fun.

If you want to have long-term fun, it is necessary to control the degree.

After comforting Amber for a few words, Lisa came to Lu Xiu, bowed very ladylikely and introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Lisa, the librarian of the Knights of Favonius. May I know your name?"

"Just call me Lu Xiu."

"Okay, Mr. Lu Xiu, since Amber brought you to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, I guess there must be something going on. After all, this kid doesn't usually bring people directly to the headquarters."

As Lisa spoke, she raised her hand and gently patted Amber's little head, causing her to be dissatisfied.

Amber struggled to break free from Lisa's grip, ran to stand next to Lu Xiu, and then asked Lisa across from her, "Is Captain Qin here today?"

Lisa looked at Amber helplessly and spread her hands. "When is Jean not at headquarters? With her personality, even if the sky falls, she will still be at headquarters to handle official business. Are you going to look for Jean?"

Amber nodded.

"Okay, you two follow me."

Lisa walked in front and led the two into an office, where they saw Qin sitting behind the desk, working hard.

The documents in front of her were piled up like a mountain. If Qin herself was not tall enough, the pile of documents would probably have blocked her entire body.

Qin, who was concentrating on handling official business, did not seem to notice someone coming in. She just picked up the coffee beside her and took a sip, then frowned, as if the coffee was bitter.

Seeing this, Lisa walked over and took out a pair of tweezers and a small bottle of sugar cubes from somewhere, picked up two sugar cubes and put them into Qin's coffee cup.

“If you’re not used to drinking coffee, don’t force yourself.”

Qin raised her head and smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. After all, I need coffee to perk myself up."

After taking another sip of the sugared coffee, Qin's frown finally relaxed a little. She turned her head to look at Lu Xiu and Amber who were standing opposite the desk. She looked Lu Xiu up and down and asked Amber curiously.

"Amber, who is this gentleman?"

Amber immediately recounted everything that had happened before, but she deliberately omitted the fact that Lucius was speeding and flying randomly in Mondstadt.

"I see."

Qin put down the pen in her hand, stood up from behind the desk, walked to Lu Xiu, and stretched out her right hand.

"Mr. Lu Xiu, thank you for saving Amber."

"You're welcome, just do it."

The two shook hands briefly, and Qin invited Lu Xiu to sit on the sofa.

Amber and Qin sat opposite Lu Xiu, while Lisa walked to a small cupboard nearby, opened it, and turned to ask everyone.

“Is black tea the only option?”

Amber wanted to say that she wanted to drink something else, but Lisa just took out four tea bags and made a cup of black tea for each of them.

After placing a cup of black tea in front of each person, Lisa sat on the sofa on the side.

"Well, Mr. Luxiu, let's get straight to the point. Can I ask why you want to know Tevarin's location?"

Lu Xiu thought about it and decided to package his purpose a little bit so that people could accept it.

"I want to challenge the strong to make myself stronger."

"But your answer doesn't quite match up with what you did before the North Wind Wolf King. You've already met the North Wind Wolf King, so why did you give up the trial? And now you're saying you want to challenge a strong opponent."

Qin's tone subconsciously took on a hint of interrogation.

Lu Xiu smiled calmly and explained, "The North Wind Wolf King's condition was very bad. After I healed him, his condition was not up to par. I couldn't defeat the North Wind Wolf King in his full state. Such a battle was meaningless, so I gave up."

Qin nodded in understanding; this explanation was quite acceptable.

After careful consideration, Jean said, "I can tell you some clues about Tevarin, but I can't guarantee that he's still there. Furthermore, there's been a recent incident in Mondstadt, and most of the monsters are behaving strangely. Add to that the clues you provided, Mr. Luxiu, and I'm afraid even a demon like the North Wind Wolf King has been affected by the incident."

"Tevlin was likely affected as well. After all, not long ago, the Knights of Favonius received news that Tevlin had destroyed the Seven Days Statue."

"misfortune?"

Lu Xiu frowned. Ever since entering Mond, the word he heard most often from the people of Mond was "accident". What on earth happened in Mond?

"What happened in Mond?"

Chapter 105: Mona's Difficult Life

Qin didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Lisa. Lisa understood and turned to a drawer, opened it, took out something wrapped in a transparent bag, walked back and put it on Qin's desk.

"These are some samples recently collected by merchants and members of the Knights of Favonius. These strange fruits and flowers have already affected the stability of the elements within Mondstadt."

Lu Xiu recognized what Lisa took out at a glance. It was the magic berries and wizard flowers in the new magic art. Both plants contained a large amount of magic power, but because of the correction of this world, the magic power was changed to elemental power.

Perhaps it is because these two plants require a large amount of elemental power in the early stages of growth, which affects the stability of Mond's environment.

However, this situation should gradually improve after a period of time.

Qin's next words also confirmed Lu Xiu's guess.

Qin bent down, took out a report from the drawer and placed it on the table, explaining to Lu Xiu and Amber.

"This novel plant absorbs a large amount of elemental energy as it grows, causing an imbalance in the environment. However, this is only temporary and is not the key to the changes in Mondstadt. The key point is that during this period of imbalance, the monsters in Mondstadt became more ferocious. There are also numerous eyewitness reports that the Cult of the Abyss is taking advantage of this period to secretly plot something. However, the Knights of Favonius have not found any trace of the Cult of the Abyss, so they have to give up for now."

"Moreover, someone recently sent an anonymous letter to the Knights of Favonius. The letter also included a photo of the scene when the Abyss Cult came into contact with Tevarin."

Qin took the photo out of the file and placed it on the desk for Lu Xiu and others to see.

Lu Xiu leaned forward to take a look, first memorizing Tevarin's appearance, and then observing other details of the photo.

The content of the photo was very simple, without too many details. It only showed Tevarin with a 'docile' look facing an Abyss Mage, and the Abyss Mage seemed to be talking to Tevarin.

"Isn't Tevarin the Guardian of the East Wind? Why would he get involved with the Abyssal Cult, who are hostile to Mondstadt? Have you split up?"

Lu Xiu couldn't help but ask.

Qin couldn't help but shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Luxiu, you're joking. Although Tevarin is Mondstadt's guardian of the east wind, it does not obey Mondstadt. It is only a follower of the wind god, Lord Barbatos. Plus, Lord Barbatos hasn't appeared in hundreds of years. Perhaps..."

Qin didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Lisa and Amber, who had worked with her for many years, knew what she hadn't said. They didn't say anything to comfort her, but just quietly walked up to her and patted her shoulders twice to show their comfort.

"Alright, enough of this irrelevant talk." Jean gathered her scattered thoughts and said solemnly to Lu Xiu, "Mr. Lu Xiu, since you saved Amber's life, I naturally trust you. The Knights of Favonius will provide you with all the clues about Tevarin. However, I hope that while Mr. Lu Xiu is searching for Tevarin, could you help the Knights of Favonius keep an eye on the movements of the Abyss Cult? I have a bad feeling they might be plotting something behind the scenes."

"Of course that's no problem." Lu Xiu immediately nodded and agreed. He also opened his backpack and took out a Poké Ball containing an Abyss Wizard.

"To express my gratitude, I happened to capture a few Abyss Mages when I rescued Amber. Perhaps you can get something out of them."

Lu Xiu threw the Poké Ball casually, and a red light popped out of the ball, fell to the ground, and quickly condensed into the shape of the Abyss Wizard.

When the red light faded, a fainted Abyss Mage appeared in front of the three women.

Even Amber, who had seen Lucci use a Poké Ball before, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I originally thought your ball was used to dispose of their corpses, but I didn't expect it to be a device to imprison them. How amazing."

The Abyss Mage was suddenly released, which scared Lisa. After she reacted, she quickly stepped forward and raised her finger to shoot out an arc of electricity, which turned into two chains to bind the Abyss Mage's hands and feet. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Lu Xiu could capture the Abyss Mage alive while saving people. I really admire him."

When Qin saw a living Abyss Mage lying at her feet, her eyes lit up. She was worried that she had no place to find those people from the Abyss Cult.

I didn't expect one to be delivered to my door today.

"Mr. Lucius, this is all the information we have about the Knights of Favonius regarding Tevarin."

Qin took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Lu Xiu. Lu Xiu nodded, took it and put it in his backpack.

The information about Tevarin has been obtained, and Lu Xiu now has only one other target left.

"Captain Qin, I'd like to purchase some gunpowder. Do you have any suitable channels?"

"gunpowder?"

Qin was stunned for a moment. Although she trusted Lu Xiu's character, after all, he saved Amber, gunpowder was a sensitive thing, so she still asked.

"What does Mr. Lu Xiu want to do with the gunpowder?"

"To make bombs, of course. After all, there are only so many uses for gunpowder."

Upon hearing this, Qin's brows jumped, and she quickly reminded him, "Mr. Lu Xiu, in Mondstadt, any activity involving the use of bombs must be reported."

Seeing Jean's worried look, Lu Xiu said with a somewhat awkward smile, "I haven't decided whether to use the bomb yet. If the search for Tevarin goes smoothly, the bomb won't be necessary. I'm just asking ahead of time. If Captain Jean is embarrassed, then forget it."

Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lu Xiu an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lu Xiu, I've been a little sensitive due to the explosions lately."

"It's okay, just a small matter."

Since there was no way to get gunpowder from the Knights of Favonius, Lu Xiu prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Well then, I'll be leaving now, the three of you."

"Are you leaving now, Mr. Lu Xiu? Won't you stay for a quick meal? I haven't thanked you for saving Amber yet."

Seeing Lu Xiu was about to leave, Qin stood up and tried to keep him, but was rejected by Lu Xiu.

"There's no need to eat. If you have something on your mind, you won't enjoy the meal, right? Let's wait until I'm done with this, and then have a good meal."

"Okay then, Amber, see Mr. Luxiu off."

Amber nodded and followed Lu Xiu out of Qin's office.

Arriving at the entrance of the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Amber couldn't help but ask, "Lucius, are you in a hurry to find Tevarin now?"

"I'm going back to my temporary residence to do some work before heading out again. What's wrong?"

"Temporary residence? Where is it?"

Lu Xiu raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "That's a more remote part of the city. After all, I need some private space, so staying in a hotel is not suitable for me."

Amber's eyes lit up, and she said eagerly, "Can I come to your house? Don't get me wrong, I just need to get acquainted with the route. After all, Captain Jean also said that any subsequent intelligence on Tevarin will be sent to you. It's likely that this task will fall on me, so getting acquainted with the route will make it easier for me to find you later."

The reason Amber didn't tell him was that she was curious whether there were any magical things in Lu Xiu's house.

As a scout knight, her curiosity is among the best in the Knights of Favonius.

"of course."

Lu Xiu did not refuse. He also needed the Knights of Favonius to provide him with clues, so it would naturally be a good thing to be able to make friends with them.

"Let's go then!"
