Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 317 Tombstone behind West Wind Cathedral
Mondstadt is located on an island in the lake, surrounded by water on all sides, with only a bridge connecting the two places.
There was a little boy crying bitterly by the bridge because an unexpected gust of wind had just blown away all his favorite pigeons.
The streets in Mondstadt are very simple, with almost no traffic jams going back and forth. You can go straight from the city gate to the West Wind Church.
"Is this Mond?" Mu An looked around and asked the question to the two people closest to him.
Nan Zhangsheng looked back and explained to her the history of this city-state from ancient times to the present. It is no exaggeration to say that his level of professionalism was such that he was more familiar with their history than the locals.
Su Ping watched them, one listening and the other talking, and also said a few words.
When it comes to the Lawrence clan, which does not have a good reputation nowadays, Nan Zhangsheng also used rhetoric to avoid the main issues and get rid of some things, at least to prevent the person he was traveling with from being embarrassed.
This was a spontaneous and unintentional act, but although Eula appeared to be indifferent, she cared deeply about this matter. She silently took note of this person and thought they could be friends.
Even Amber felt that this person was not bad, because to be honest, she also cared about these things, after all, it was a matter between friends.
They walked and talked all the way until they arrived at the gate of the Knights Templar. Two men were standing guard at the gate. Seeing their colleagues bringing people back, they did not ask any questions. After a knight's salute, they did not move again.
"Grandmaster Falga is currently on an expedition. The person in charge of the Knights is the acting commander, Qin."
"She is the daughter of the Gunhild family and comes from a family of knights. But don't underestimate her because she has made a lot of efforts. For example... she is obviously very busy, but she still helps me to dispel the rumors in the city."
According to Amber and Eula's introduction, the leader of the Qin band was close to perfect. She was courteous, considerate, capable of handling things properly, and intelligent. It seemed that there was nothing she couldn't do.
Ying suddenly looked very proud, with her hands on her hips, as if she was beaming with joy because she was in the same camp as the captain.
There was a moment of silence. Nan Zhangsheng carefully chose his words to break the silence. "Ahem, so we've been standing at the door for a long time. Aren't you going in?"
"oh oh."
Paimon nodded blankly, then he remembered that he had not knocked, so he went over and knocked on the wooden door.
"Please come in." Qinna's voice sounded a little tired, but she was trying to muster up energy. It was very magnetic and had the aura of a leader.
After entering the office, the floor space of the already small space was instantly reduced by half, and the people surrounded by bookshelves were looking at the team leader sitting behind the desk.
"Captain Qin." Paimon waved his hand.
Qin greeted him back, then asked about the Honorary Knight, the Traveler Ying's recent situation, and then got to know these new friends.
"My name is Nan Zhangsheng, from Liyue."
"My name is Mu."
"Hello, both of you." Qin smiled gently, then looked at the young man in yellow who was about to speak, and said, "This must be Mr. Su Ping, right?"
"Exactly, Su Ping, Su Zian." Su Ping nodded slightly and continued, "Hello, Mond's acting leader."
Qin smiled, "Tian Quanxing often mentioned Mr. Su Ping in his letters, saying that he was upright, hated evil, and had a very good appearance. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
"No, no, it's Captain Qin. Ningguang always says that Captain Qin is a very careful and thoughtful leader. Today, I came here and saw that Mondstadt is in good order. I realized that hearing about it is worse than seeing it in person!"
"Wow, they are both good at talking." Paimeng and Ying Fu'er whispered.
This is inevitable. After all, Su Ping and Qin are both people with high positions in their respective countries. Their words and deeds represent the reputation of their country and cannot be taken lightly.
Of course, they were not completely complimenting each other. These two statements were more or less credible. After all, they were evaluations from others, and that person's words could always be trusted.
"In fact, I still have a lot to learn. The compliments from Amber and Eula just now are not pertinent. Mr. Su Ping, please don't believe them completely."
"Haha, I think it's just the opposite. The evaluation of my subordinates is the most pertinent. At least it shows that they are very good to their own people."
The conversation continued, still following the same old routine. After all, it was their first meeting and they were not really familiar with each other. They were not the type of people who could sit down and chat about daily life.
Amber and Eula, one with slightly red cheeks and the other remained expressionless, but they said silently in their hearts: I will remember this grudge.
Seeing that these two very polite people were not done yet, the Red and Blue sisters quickly suggested taking the guests from afar for a walk and find a good place to stay.
None of the group voted, and they kept saying they were going to find a place to stay. After saying goodbye in a hurry, they ran out of the office and out of the Knights.
Facing the scorching sun and the gentle breeze, the group of people began to slow down their pace and strolled on the street.
Paimeng stroked her flat face and said with lingering fear, "If we continue like that just now, will it develop into shaking hands and reminiscing about the past?"
The expressions of the others varied, some were laughing, some were resentful, and some were thinking seriously. In short, this group of people had different identities, opinions, and concerns.
Ying patted her travel companion's head, then looked at the red and blue sisters and asked, "So, are you really going to find us a place to stay?"
"Of course, I'm not just talking." Amber said.
"Do you think this is just an excuse we made up to get out?" Eula asked back, her light golden eyes gleaming with a slightly sharp edge.
"No, no." Ying waved her hands and laughed.
Su Ping thought for a moment, looked at the tallest building in Mondstadt, and said, "I'm going to the West Wind Church. You guys go and have a look first, and we'll meet up later."
"Okay." Nan Zhangsheng agreed immediately. He knew that in this city, for Brother Su to find them would be as easy as eating and drinking.
Youla suddenly asked: "Are you injured?"
"No, I just have a friend over there and I want to meet him." Su Ping explained. The long wine-red hair appeared in front of his eyes again, delicate and beautiful.
In this way, the group split into two groups. Su Ping traveled alone and went to the Cathedral of West Wind, the place of prayer and healing in Mondstadt.
The person he was looking for was Rosalia.
"I haven't seen her for many years. I wonder how this little girl is doing now." Su Ping murmured. If others heard it, they would probably be surprised.
What was he talking about? The leading nun who was highly capable, efficient, eloquent and had impeccable character was a little girl?
Strictly speaking, the age of Su Ping in this life is not much different from that of Rosalia, so if he had not counted two lives, he would probably be considered to be taking advantage of his seniority.
However, it seems that Rosalia calling him teacher doesn’t count?
The Cathedral of West Winds is located behind the Aeolus Square, behind the majestic and tall statue of the God of Winds. One has to climb up layers of stairs to reach it.
When Su Ping arrived, the prayer was just about to end and people were rushing out. Even though he could go upstream, he still avoided the crowd and waited in an open space nearby.
Finally, the crowds of people left like a tide. The nuns stood by the door with their hands folded, seeing off these people who had prayed sincerely. Among all the nuns, the most eye-catching one was the beautiful nun with long burgundy hair.
Su Ping watched quietly and found that the girl was indeed very different. Compared to the last time they met, she was much more mature and stable, and her attitude towards work was more correct.
This is what he saw and what he thought. As for whether it was true or not, he didn't care. It was impossible for him to stay here for a long time and observe in the dark, right?
The prayer meeting ended soon, and the nuns turned around and prepared to go back to the church to start their new work for the day. Only then did Su Ping take a step and walk towards the gate.
Before he could call, Rosalia had already stopped and walked towards him. With a bright smile on her face as bright as the moon, she said softly, "Teacher, long time no see!"
Su Ping smiled calmly and said, "Long time no see. You found me so soon?"
Rosalia's eyes were gentle, and she looked up in a childish manner. She said, "Of course, I noticed the teacher as soon as I came out, but I didn't greet him right away."
The little girl who rarely cried back then is now more sensible. She knows that during work, she should do her job well and not destroy the results of everyone's efforts due to personal reasons.
"Teacher, are there any attractions you want to visit when you come to Mond?"
“It has not been decided yet.”
"How about I take a few days off and take the teacher for a good walk?"
"No need, work is more important, and I am the teacher, I don't need students to guide me."
"Oh, everyone has their own expertise. I've lived in Mondstadt for many years and have learned every inch of this place by heart. If you want to travel, you can definitely come to me!"
"Haha, we'll see about the opportunity in the future. Now... let's go pay our respects to my 'colleague' first."
Rosalia's eyes flashed, and her thoughts instantly went back to many years ago, when there was an old thief who was unwilling to admit that he was her teacher, fearing that it would have too great an impact and cause a lot of trouble.
After a moment, Rosalia came to her senses and took Su Ping on the road. Since the teacher specifically asked her to go, she certainly wouldn't be mysterious.
Behind the West Wind Cathedral is a small green meadow with a group of tombstones standing in the middle, in twos and threes, so that you will not be alone on the road to the underworld.
Rosalia bowed in front of the nameless monument, then introduced it, "This is it, teacher."
"Hmm." Su Ping looked at the tombstone. There was no name written on it, nor was there any mention of the person who erected it and the relationship between him and the tombstone. There was only one line of words, "Erected by Rosalia". There were no other tombstones around it, and it looked lonely and desolate.
Su Ping straightened his posture, clasped his hands, and bowed, performing the etiquette of a peer, and said: "We have never met before. Logically, I should judge by age, but since Rosalia is a student of both you and me, I am being a little rude."
He spoke sincerely, but Rosalia just shook her head and sighed, "If he were still alive and knew we were going to look for him, he would probably try his best to stop us to prevent anything bad from happening."
This is true. The old thief actually had this idea. He didn't want to admit that he had taught the little girl kung fu. He made all kinds of excuses, like he was playing rogue.
"At that time, he was seriously ill and could not be cured, so I told him to erect a tombstone for him and write "erected by his student Rosalia".
Who would have thought that he kept saying no, and didn't even tell me his real name, and refused to acknowledge me as his student. In the end, I could only fulfill his wish and erect an anonymous monument."
Su Ping listened silently, glanced at the other tombstones in the garden, and said: "Back then, you wanted to take the test and join the West Wind Church, probably because of this reason!"
"Yes, the Grand Master said that relatives of the West Wind Church would be given priority when applying for this burial site. He has suffered too much in his life, so he needs to find a good place to lie down."
That person, Rosalia's mentor, who protected her when she was at her weakest and taught her skills, his real name is unknown, only a rumor remains in the world, which still shines after thousands of years.
Even thieves have intentions.
