Genshin Impact: Quietly Investing for Six Thousand Years

Return to the castle of the Gunhild family.

Chen Mo walked on the gravel road, holding a long sword in his hand, which was the one he asked for from the Knights of Favonius before leaving.

He also visited the underground library, but the deepest part of the library was not open to him...

Grand Commander Falga was particularly enthusiastic and took Chen Mo aside to thank him for his contribution to Mond (arresting Alice).

Chen Mo didn't hesitate to ask for a standard one-handed sword of the Knights of Favonius. After all, he had a little disciple at home who was crying for help.

Looking towards the grass under the tree, a pair of ice and fire men were lying on the ground, begging desperately.

Qin pointed the wooden sword at Diluk and the other man, "Go away, I don't want to fight anymore."

Diluk disagreed, "Even if you kill me today, I will not leave here."

He had heard of Qin and had competed with him before, but he was no match for him in the past.

I have made such progress in just a few days. I, Diluk, must stay under my master's tutelage.

Kaia hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Hearing this, Chen Mo nodded slightly, showing his determination.

Qin's expression was hesitant. When she saw Chen Mo coming back, panic flashed in her eyes and she swung the wooden sword again.

Originally, even if Diluk didn't dodge, this sword would never fall on him.

The next moment, Diluk stepped back to avoid the attack, and Kaeya behind him was exposed and was hit hard by the sword.

"Ahh~" Kaiya opened his eyes wide, squatted on the ground with his hands covering his head, and let out a miserable howl.

Chen Mo: "..."

Qin: "Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"

Diluk silently gave a thumbs up, he is indeed a good brother.

At the same time, let’s observe a two and a half second silence for our good brothers’ courageous sacrifice.

Chen Mo walked over and looked at the frightened Qin calmly.

"I, I..." Qin opened her mouth and stammered.

Finally, the golden ponytail lowered and turned into a voice: "I'm sorry."

"Qin, you don't have your reward today." Chen Mo said lightly.

Qin nodded slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face.

Chen Mo paused and said, "But there is a punishment."

Qin raised her lost little face and regained hope.

“Punishment is an issue.”

Qin looked up at Chen Mo and felt that Chen Mo's aura suddenly changed.

"Why did you hold back?" Chen Mo's eyes were serious.

At this moment, he lost his usual gentle demeanor and turned into a strict master.

"Because, because..." Jean gripped the wooden sword tightly, looking at Diluk and at the painful Kaeya.

"Because I don't want to hurt anyone in Mond."

"My mother taught me since I was a child that as a member of the Gunhild family, the sword in my hand is to protect. If I use my power to hurt others, will I become a "tyrant" in the eyes of others?"

Diluk opened his mouth slightly and looked at Kaeya, who had a resentful look on his face. It seemed that what he said made sense.

Then... I'll trick Kaia again tomorrow...

Chen Mo shook his head, and Qin's expression tensed. Did I say something wrong?

No, this is the ancestral motto of the Gunhild family. It is the belief upheld by countless knights for nearly a thousand years. It cannot be wrong.

Qin's eyes were full of determination, and she decided to resist Chen Mo's denial.

"There are bad people in Mond too. They can do some extreme things. Aren't you giving them a chance to escape by holding back?" Chen Mo said.

"Besides, you can stab them and make them lose their ability to move or become a threat. It can also serve as a warning to others at a critical moment."

Qin nodded blankly, as if it made some sense.

Kaia put his hand down and stopped pretending. It didn't hurt that much anyway.

His grey eyes narrowed slightly, he actually found the man in front of him very interesting.

"Guarding is not blind. We need to use our eyes to distinguish between good and evil. Who are worthy of being protected? Those who should be punished..." Chen Mo said.

It also tells the story of a "lonely king" who trusted his own protection too much and ended up committing suicide amidst the people's resistance...

……

Wind dragon... ruins.

Barbatos, the god of wind, is bringing earth and rocks from afar to fill the huge black pit.

The breeze of freedom heard the young man's words and smiled slightly, "The Guardian Wind of Mondstadt?"

He waved and took a dandelion seed, put it to his mouth, and blew it gently.

The dandelion seeds spread their wings and flew high into the sky, appearing dazzling under the sunlight.

"It's really dazzling..."

Dandelion seeds will bloom in every corner of Mondstadt like the "Wind of Protection"...

……

"Answer me now." Chen Mo's eyes were deep, as if there was a starry sky hidden in them.

Qin lowered her head and held the wooden sword.

Diluk was anxious and said, "Speak!"

The guardian who distinguishes right from wrong, rather than blindly following others...

By the way, say a good word for me.

After a long while, Qin raised her head, her eyes seemed to have a blooming dandelion, and she said slowly: "Forever protect Mond."

Until the end, she chose to stand firm in her beliefs and not give up on anyone.

As long as you are a Mondstadt person, there must be a reason for you to be protected.

"What a stubborn idiot..." Chen Mo said bluntly.

Then he sighed and said, "But, this will be very hard for you..."

"I'm not afraid of hard work." Qin's eyes were firm.

At this moment, the breeze between heaven and earth is singing praises for her, praising her beliefs, her protection and courage.

"Lion's Fang that Cares for All People" is the effect of Jean's sixth life.

It will reduce the damage taken by teammates. Even if they leave, they still have a chance to withstand three attacks or disappear after ten seconds.

Meaning: I will save you three times, even if you have already left Mondstadt...

A shining object descended, an illusory black clock flashed, and everything seemed to cease to exist.

"What an idiot..." Chen Mo sighed.

Qin's little face was filled with smiles. She could hear the helplessness in her master's voice. Did that mean that her master acknowledged her belief?

Holding the one-handed sword flat in his hand, Chen Mo walked carefully to Qin and slowly squatted down.

"I am an Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, and I am representing myself now."

"Miss Jean Gunhild, are you willing to accept this "Sword of Protection"? "

"Ah?" Qin opened her mouth slightly, and her hands, which were tightly holding the wooden sword, were shaking.

"I, I do!"

Qin took the Xifeng Sword, her eyes burning as she gently stroked the silver lines on it, her beliefs becoming clearer in her heart.

Chen Mo touched her head and his voice became gentle again, "From now on, Mond will trouble you."

Qin raised her head, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes. Master, what does this sentence mean?

Inside the black clock, the shining object was shrouded in azure light, hanging quietly, guarding its own piece of pure land.

There is the most "free" wind and the most determined will...
