Genshin Impact: I am the only one who can bring disaster to Teyvat

Chapter 168: This probability is like encountering a dragon when going out

The rain keeps falling.

Thick aluminum clouds obscured the last brilliance of the sunset, and dark raindrops fell like haze. Even the howling wind coming down from the dark clouds could not cover the sound of raindrops, and the green vine leaves were pulled by the rain and wind.

The brilliant lights are like a lighthouse on the coast in the heavy rainy night, looming in the thick white fog.

Diluk was not in a very good mood.

This morning there was a cargo business that could not be shirked, so his father led the team and his brother Kaia also rushed over to help, leaving a lot of room for error. Even if there was an accident on the way, they could still bring the team back before dusk.

But who could have imagined that on the road the horses were frightened by a poisonous snake in the grass, and the goods were almost spilled to the ground. In order to reorganize the goods and to calm the frightened horses, time was already delayed a lot.

I thought he would be back before the banquet started at the latest, but the clear sky during the day was now stained with ink.

It’s not good to keep the guests waiting, and it’s impossible to postpone the ceremony forever, even if someone persuades them to do so.

The dazzling light was refracted by the wine in the glass into strange tones. The cool wind mixed with rain blew through the gaps in the window, hitting the back of the hand dully, adding weight to the comfortable dress.

"Ugh……"

He sighed deeply as the raindrops fell on him. He looked sadly into the blurry distance. The liquid in the wine glass in his hand increased unconsciously as it was shaken. Diluk took a sip absentmindedly. The sweet grape juice tasted a little more bitter.

"good evening."

The gap in the window in front of Diluk narrowed a lot. The white-haired young man who was leaning on the window on the other side with one hand raised his glass to salute: "Congratulations on becoming the youngest knight captain in history. Perhaps you will become the youngest knight leader."

Diluk regained his composure and greeted with a smile:

"Good evening, Mr. Kevin. I wonder if the drinks and food tonight suit your taste? And as for the Fontaine delicacies, although the chef we invited is from Fontaine, he has also made a lot of improvements based on Mond's taste. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"I'm not picky about taste, and a qualified adventurer can't be picky about food. No one knows if I'll be in danger one day. Will I still be picky about food then?"

"Heh~ What else can you do but accept it? Would anyone choose to give up on food just because they hate it? How could anyone make that choice?"

Kevin talked for a while, then pretended to be casual and asked, "Are you worried about your father and brother?"

"Of course, it's not easy to deliver goods in such heavy rain. I'm worried that my father will choose to take the muddy path in order to save time, which will add a lot of risks for no reason."

Diluk sighed worriedly, “Maybe it would be better if my coming of age ceremony came later.”

Kevin consoled him, "I don't think you need to worry. As far as I know, Mondstadt is blessed by the wind god Barbatos, and has never experienced bad weather. Heavy rain like today is even rarer. At least the weather won't get worse because of this."

"There's no need to worry about the caravan's safety. Even monsters won't go out in this kind of weather. Even the hillbillies have the habit of storing food. What we really need to worry about is the possibility of accidents due to road conditions."

Kevin smiled teasingly again and said, "But this kind of accident can only cause damage to the goods or a person to fall. The probability of threatening life is like encountering a dragon when going out. But how could such a thing happen?"

"Indeed, thank you for your comfort..."

"The chances of a life-threatening situation are like going out and encountering a dragon."

He slammed the window shut, then reopened it to face the wind and rain outside. Kevin repeated what he had just said under Diluk's slightly puzzled gaze, and his cheerful expression dimmed.

The soil splashed by rain, the leaf juice from the broken grape vines, the bitter yet sweet fruit wine, the soup made from a variety of seasonings...all kinds of flavors were like kittens that had never opened their eyes, rubbing against him impatiently.

Among them, there was a rather strange smell, as if it was the smell of perfume brought by someone passing by. There was indeed a creature passing by, but it was not a human, but a dragon, a dragon that could be called a magic dragon.

He once formed a dragon-slaying team to track the trail of the evil dragon. Due to its lack of mobility, the Knights had fought against the dragon in vain several times. One of its wings was torn off, but the dragon broke out of the siege with its perseverance and its last wing.

Kevin put down his glass and muttered, "Who will be held responsible for drunk driving later?"

"What……"

Faint human figures were moving back and forth on the floor, and a strange person suddenly mixed in among them. The owner of the shadow blocked the light and crouched in the hall which was slightly too small for him, like the tail of a sea dragon waving wantonly.

Before Diluk could ask his question, a tail bound him tightly around his waist. The moment the huge white fox moved, the tail carried him up into the air, forcing his feet off the ground.

"What is this?!"

"Help!"

"What about the Knights? That's how you protect the people!"

"Stop shouting, the Grand Commander is also on our tail!"

It rushed towards the gate with a clear goal, and its remaining free tail swept up two other knights on the way. It didn't care about the guests in the hall at all, and it forcefully pushed aside the obstacles along the way.

The sounds of breaking wine glasses and plates mixed with screams, the wine and food with different flavors were forced to blend together under the crushing of the soles of shoes, and the dresses that hindered movement were torn into pieces as people ran around.

The windows were smashed, expensive clothes were soaked by the mud on the ground and the rain from the sky, and the timid guests were in a panic.

"Quiet--!"

The majestic voice was spread by the strong wind, while the soft wind was mixed in like dandelions, soothing the frightened hearts. Simon climbed up to the high platform and shouted:

"Even the nearest town to Dawn Winery is half an hour away. Are you sure you can arrive safely without any accidents in the heavy rain without the Knights' protection?"

"The white fox just now was not a dangerous creature, and he left early. Stop running and shoving now. It is best to stay here and let the Knights protect you."

When the Grand Master was taken away, Simon was the highest commander present. After all, the Western Bishop and the Grand Master of the Knights Templar were equal in status. Even the Inspector General of the Knights Templar, Ilok, was not qualified to take command of the overall situation while the bishop was in office.

The elite knights, who were simply tasting the wine, quickly picked up their weapons, holding weapons that could protect the people of Mondstadt, demonstrating West Wind's determination to protect the people.

Simon quickly gave orders. He first confirmed the patrol arrangements of the knights in the Dawn Winery, and then asked the maids of the Dawn Winery to bring blankets to wrap the frightened guests. After stabilizing the situation, he gathered with the senior leaders of the Knights Templar and the Church.

"There must be an emergency this time. The God of Servant Yingsai is not bad enough to cause trouble in such an occasion. After all, this is not an event organized by the Fatui."

Simon looked at the acting captain of the reconnaissance team with cold eyes and said:

"We need a team to conduct reconnaissance, but since Captain An left, you have become too lazy and slow. Three missions have failed to produce effective results. Are you still capable of doing it now?"

"Bishop Simon, please rest assured and leave it to me!" The acting captain of the reconnaissance team's neck turned red. "We will definitely complete this mission and live up to the captain's guidance."

"Bishop Simon, the flow of elemental forces in the outside world is a little abnormal. It seems that something is attracting monsters to our side." A titled knight who was patrolling outside walked in to report.

Simon raised his hand and pressed his brows, then said:

"The reconnaissance team is divided into three groups. One group will stay near the Dawn Winery for investigation. The other two groups will mix with the cavalry team. One group will track down the white fox's things, and the other group will notify the nearby villages and stationed knights to increase their vigilance and defense."

"Other knights, please set up defense checkpoints immediately. Maid Adeline, please arrange for someone to get the necessary materials. Remember, what we need to do is to repel the invasion of monsters, not to kill the enemies. Protecting lives is the priority."

"besides!"

"Leave all the new knights here. It's not time for them to fight to the death. Especially Amber. Keep an eye on her. Captain Amber just left not long ago. This kid hasn't figured it out yet."
