Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

Five years have gone by in a blink of an eye.

Under the leadership of Falga, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Mond is peaceful.

Unlike five years ago when he first arrived at the Knights of Favonius, Nan Dou has now become the recognized "boss" in the eyes of the reserve knights.

Both the reserve knights who were training together and the instructors in charge of the training of reserve knights were impressed by Nan Dou's ability.

Always be the first to complete training, help other companions complete training, help the instructors manage the energetic reserve knights, use spare time to make money, and make up the training expenses for reserve knights with poor family conditions...

What this boy did was something that many old knights who had been Knights of Favonius for many years could not do.

Similarly, Diluk, who is the same age as him, also performed very well, but he seemed less dazzling compared to the previous performance.

But this does not affect the relationship between Nandou and Diluk.

The two boys had promised to grow up together, and now all they had to do was wait for time to become Knights of Favonius.

As long as you are twelve years old or above and have completed three years of training as a reserve knight in the Knights of Favonius, you can apply to take the knight assessment, and after completion you can become an apprentice knight.

"I won't be attending training today. The Cathedral adopted a child today. I'm going back to take a look. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, my father asked me to go home today."

"Okay then, see you tomorrow... Well, with this weather, it might rain heavily soon. I hope it won't last that long..."

Nan Dou hummed a light tune and walked out of the gate of the reserve knight training ground.

The training of reserve knights is not a closed management system, and no one will stop them from going home every day.

After reaching a certain age, you can even come once in a while, and no one will interfere as long as you pass the assessment.

After all, not all prospective knights have family conditions that allow them to train without worries.

Therefore, even though all the reserve knights added up to several hundred people, the most that Nan Dou had ever seen in the training ground was only sixty.

In the training of the reserve knights, apart from physical training, there is basically no help for Nan Dou. The reason he comes every day is not only to watch Diluk, but also to help other reserve knights train.

Therefore, the instructor no longer even restrained him and made him an assistant to help him train other children.

On the way back to West Wind Cathedral, Nan Dou greeted everyone he met with a smile, and received the same response.

The people of Mond have become accustomed to this boy who smiles and greets people politely every day.

"Little Nandou is back. There's another little guy here today. Go check it out."

Nan Dou entered the West Wind Cathedral.

Today's service time has passed, and the only ones left inside are the nuns from West Wind Cathedral and Bishop Simon of West Wind Church.

Nan Dou moved closer and saw Bishop Simon, known as the "Cardinal of Dawn", conducting an initiation ceremony for a young girl.

Just then, Nam Doo felt something grabbing his leg.

Looking down, he found a pretty little girl blinking her big eyes at him.

Picking up the girl skillfully, Nandou said softly, "Are you happy today, Barbara?"

Nan Dou just asked casually, but he didn't expect Barbara in his arms to puff up her face instantly and complain to him in a baby voice: "Dad said he would take me out to play today, but he has been busy all day."

“I’m not happy…”

Nan Dou looked at Barbara, who was like a porcelain doll and was angry and acting coquettish, and inexplicably felt the same way as when he was with Hu Tao.

"What do you think this is?"

Nan Dou took out a crystal clear candy from his pocket and placed it in front of Barbara.

"Wow, it's candy!"

"Brother will give you some candy, so please don't be angry with dad, okay?"

Nan Dou put the candy into Barbara's mouth and said in a negotiating tone.

"But...I'm...still angry...what should I do."

Barbara had candy in her mouth and couldn't speak clearly.

"Then ask your father to apologize to you in person, and then you forgive him."

"All right……"

Nan Dou glanced at Bishop Simon who walked up to him.

Simon understood what he meant and gave Nan Dou a look of gratitude. Then he took Barbara away with an apologetic look on his face and started to coax her seriously.

At this time, Sister Sera also noticed Nan Dou's arrival. She gently grabbed his hand and introduced him, "Nan Dou, this is Grace. She will also be a nun of West Wind Cathedral in the future. You must take good care of her."

"Grace, this is Nan Dou. You can call him brother. If you have any problems that you are embarrassed to tell us in the future, you can go to him. He is very powerful and can solve any problem."

Faced with Sera's flattery, Nan Dou could only show a helpless expression. He really didn't know how to give birth to a child.

Different from the happy reunion atmosphere at West Wind Cathedral, the sky outside was covered by thick dark clouds, with constant thunder and heavy rain following.

The Leggenfend family's winery outside Mondstadt.

"Haha, if you come back later, you'll be soaked to the skin."

Cripps shook the red wine in his hand and said to his son sitting in front of him with a chuckle.

"It was only because my father reminded me in advance that I was able to get home on time."

Diluk respects his father so much that sometimes people may feel a little distant from him.

Cripps had tried to correct him many times, but to no avail, so he just let him be and continued to calmly taste the wine and chat with his son about recent developments.

……

"Master Cripps, there's a child outside the manor!"

"Take me to see it!"

The winery's head maid Adeline and other maids came to the outside of the manor, holding umbrellas for Cripps and Diluk.

"Master, it's that child."

Cripps saw the child in the care of the maid, with dark blue hair, slightly dark skin, and his right eye was closed for some reason.

The boy looked to be about six or seven years old, and his open eye was full of nervousness, fear of the unknown, and grievance.

After asking about the boy's situation, Cripps took off his coat and put it on the boy, saying softly, "Come with me, kid."

Diluk's red eyes met the boy's blue eyes, and a story of brotherly respect began...
