Chapter 16

The headquarters of the Knights is located in the Gaotai District of Mondstadt City.

A three-story building combined with the clock tower, from the top sentry you can overlook the whole city.

Two pure red and gold-rimmed flags hang on both sides of the gate, among which are the symbols of the Knights.

The piercing gaze of the West Wind Eagle examines the hearts of every knight.

Walking into the interior of the Knights is much larger than expected, at least twenty steps can't reach the end.

The hall has no windows, and all the brilliance comes from the chandeliers hanging high on the ceiling.

The smoky yellow light scatters on the beautifully sculpted ceiling, and the sword and shield pendants on the walls on both sides meet the refracted light, exuding a different kind of sparkle.

The room on the right is engraved with the pattern of the library, and at the end of the left, you can see an iron door with various patches, and the scarred posture is too miserable.

That place is probably the confinement room of the Knights, a room that exists only for the [Spark Knight, Klee].

Without the time to appreciate and explore carefully, Summer followed behind Jean and came to the acting head's room.

The bright light shines through the elegant windowsill and falls on the desk full of documents and documents, and the picture of the windmill symbolizing Mondstadt is displayed in front.

That is Jean's work desk, so you can imagine her hard work.

The conference table is on the same side as the sofa for guests, and next to it is a cabinet full of various documents.

On the opposite side, there is a small ascending staircase. Above the staircase is a whole wall of bookshelves. A huge standing bell is inlaid in the middle.

The original elegant scenery has a fly in the ointment.

A masked Fatuus lady leaned against the table with her arms crossed.

"Fatui? Is there something wrong?" Jean's expression became formal in vain.

She tapped her finger on the table, it was a document with the red stamp of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Recently, due to the disaster of the Stormterror, the business travel in the Winter Kingdom has suffered a lot of damage. How do you plan to pay for these losses?"

The continent of Teyvat is full of too many uncertainties, and even the official road will inevitably be attacked.

Most caravans are reluctant to travel long distances for trade unless necessary.

To ensure the circulation of special products in various regions, the seven cities have jointly formulated comprehensive business protection rules.

The major chambers of commerce will pay a sum of money to buy insurance every year, and the caravan will receive compensation from the city where there is a problem.

Jean accepted the document: "I will make arrangements for the specific payment information shortly."

"If you can't eliminate Stormterror, it's better to hand over the defense of Mondstadt's city to us Fools. I believe that the beast will soon be..."

Fatui has always wanted to infiltrate Mondstadt's management, and this dragon disaster is a good opportunity.

"Beast?" Jean became serious, even a little angry: "I hope your country's diplomats will show a more professional attitude!"

"You guys want to deal with one of Mondstadt's Four Wind Guardians? I don't want someone to say such crazy things in front of the West Wind Knights!"

"Even the envoys of the Winter Kingdom are not allowed!"

Jean's resolute attitude was met with laughter from the Fatui envoys:

"Hehehe... It's not as crazy as you said, irrational, and the guardian who is the enemy of mankind is still worthy of trust?"

"Let's end this negotiation! This meeting is [the two sides exchanged candid and constructive opinions], and I will record it truthfully and report it."

The envoy was about to leave, but when passing by Summer, she stopped:

"Is this the traveler who was recently called the Vision? I don't know when you'll be free to follow me to the Winter Kingdom..."

Jean interrupted her directly: "This is the guest I invited, please pay attention to etiquette."

The envoy froze, but still smiled and left the room.

The hated people had already left, and Jean tidy up the messy tabletop immediately to make sure that the Fatui didn't steal or peek.

Then she invited Summer to sit down on the sofa.

"I'm sorry, please take a seat."

Politely brought a cup of black tea brewed by hand, the teacup is white, and the pattern is the pattern of dandelion.

Without being too polite, let's get straight to the point:

"I hope you can become the artifact advisor of the Knights, help the Knights to identify the attributes of the holy relic, and come up with a reasonable plan for the West Wind Knight."

This is to be expected, he knows that he is only so capable at the moment that he can be admired.

"I'm happy to help, but I hope I don't use the honorific title of 'you' anymore. We're almost the same age, so I'm not used to it."

"Just call me the normal name, and don't use the nasty nickname of 'God's Eye', just call me Summer!"

Holding the reddish hot tea in his hand, he gently blew out the misty mist and took a slow sip.

It wasn't the smell he liked, but that fragrance and warmth never passed between his lips and teeth for a long time.

The tea she brews is as rigid as people, but it is very heartwarming.

Jean is probably the type of person that he is the worst at dealing with.

Be strict with yourself, be lenient with others, and keep a serious attitude towards everything.

It is always difficult to please such a person who has no flaws.

"Well...Thank you, thank you for your willingness to support the Knights."

Jean made a knightly salute again, surprised by such a smooth conversation, not even talking about remuneration.

"How many people need to sort out artifacts? No, you don't need to tell me the details."

After Summer opened his mouth, he felt that something was wrong, for fear of being regarded as a spy listening to the defense of the city of Mondstadt.

"The Knights of the Favonius have a total of 327 people, but currently just 50 people are staying in Mondstadt, 92 people patrolling, and 37 people going to other city-states."

"We hope you can match the 142 people guarding the main city and patrolling abroad with artifacts that match their elemental power."

The number of people in the West Wind Knights has been announced, and the defensive layout of the City is also very simple, there is no need to hide it, and the remaining 100 people who need to hide are directly skipped.

"Do all these hundreds of knights have the Vision?" Summer's tone was envious.

"The Vision is a gift from the gods. Even the Knights of the West Wind only have a few people... Even without the Vision, artifacts can give power to knights, but it will be more troublesome and requires some kind of prayer ceremony."

"Then, how do I get the Vision? Is there a shortcut?" Summer's expression was a little excited.

Jean has seen too many children who think like this, but it's really rare to have a warm and innocent heart like Summer.

Jean shook her head: "If I knew the method, Mondstadt City wouldn't be owned by only a few people."

"There is no fixed way to obtain the Vision. Everyone's opportunities are different. Maybe just sleep and the Vision will appear beside you..."

Looking at Summer's gradually lost expression, Jean wanted to comfort him, and suddenly thought of a legend: "But..."

"but?"

"I have heard a rumor that there are 65 pieces of divine pupils gathered by the wind in Mondstadt. If you collect all these pieces, you can cross the gods and get the approval of heaven, to use the power of the elements. " (Anemoculus)

"Many people have tried to collect them before, but none of them have been written down..."

"Gathering the crystals of the wind also requires God's approval. If God doesn't approve, even if Vision appears in front of him, he won't be able to be seen..."

Jean's tone is very gentle, and children must love listening to her tell stories.

( I made some small research and this is what I found:

[1]The Fatui in Latin: Fools(singular member Fatuus) are a delegation of diplomats from the Zapolyarny Palace of Snezhnaya. There is also a military detachment led by the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the Tsaritsa herself. They are one of the main antagonistic factions in Genshin Impact.

[2]The Anemoculus is an Adventure Item that can be found scattered across Mondstadt. Anemoculi can be offered to any Statue of The Seven in Mondstadt for rewards.

I also change his title as 'God's Eye')
