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

Five years later.

Mondstadt, Wolf Territory.

"Dear Captain Diluk, I picked some hookberries. Would you like to eat some?"

"Nandou, I swear, if you speak in such a disgusting voice again, I will beat you up!"

"Hahaha, it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously."

In the intervals when the Knights' team was completing their tasks, Nandou livened up the atmosphere in his own way, and Diluk was not really angry.

A year ago, Diluk became the youngest cavalry captain in the history of the Knights of Favonius with his own abilities, and Nandou assisted him as his deputy and brain.

Except for the minor changes on his face, the fifteen-year-old Diluk has undergone a drastic change overall.

He has fair skin, conspicuous slightly curly red long hair tied into a ponytail behind his back, red eyes with hints of gold light, and often wears a black and gold dress with a white shirt inside. He has the Eye of God hanging on his belt, and often wears leather gloves that are black on the outside and red on the inside, black trousers on his lower body, a leg ring made of white circles around his right leg, and black boots with many buckles.

This outfit is not cheap, only the young masters of the wine tycoons in Mondstadt can afford it as daily wear.

Nandou was used to this, because this outfit was specially made for Diluk at his strong suggestion.

As for the Eye of God, Nan Dou was very envious of it, but he just didn't have it.

He still remembers it clearly: when he was ten years old and was taken on a mission by Grand Captain Falgar for the first time and returned to Mondstadt, Diluk took out the Eye of God from his pocket with a strange look on his face.

It was also from then on that the two people, who were originally almost equally powerful, began to fight each other only a short year later, and the result became how long Nan Dou could last.

Not only Diluk, but even Rosaria, who was forced into the Church of Favonius by Falga, became invincible.

From that day on, Nandou knew that the Eye of God did more than just allow the owner to use elemental power.

"What are you thinking about? You seem distracted."

Diluk handed Nandou a bottle of drink and asked curiously.

Nan Dou collected his messy thoughts, pointed to the open space in the distance of the Wolf Territory and asked, "Do you know the legend of the Knight of the North Wind and the Wolf of the North Wind?"

"Of course I know. Legend has it that the North Wind Wolf finally rests in the Wolf Territory, and the name of the North Wind Knight has been passed down from generation to generation in the Knights of West Wind."

"Some people also say that the North Wind Wolf has never left and has been protecting the wolf pack in the Wolf Territory in some form, but no one has ever actually seen the Wolf King."

Diluke, who had been familiar with various books since childhood, was no stranger to this.

"Then if I tell you that the Wolf of the North Wind really exists now, would you believe it?"

"Of course, my brother, you never deceived me."

Diluk's trust in Nandou is no less than his faith in Mondstadt.

During the years that he became the Knight of Favonius, Nandou had saved his life in many crises, and he had done the same, so he had never doubted what Nandou said.

"Do you want to see what the Wolf King looks like?"

"The legendary Wolf of the North Wind, if there is a chance, I would certainly like to."

"Perhaps, we will have this opportunity..."

Nan Dou smiled and changed the subject, but his eyes were fixed on the open space.

"Brother Nandou, Brother Yi, what are you two sitting there talking about?"

Kaeya, the newest member of Diluk's Knight Squad, came over with a smile.

……

Mondstadt, Angel's Gift Tavern.

“Hu~ha!”

“No matter how many times you drink it, this apple cider is always delicious.”

Nan Dou gulped down a glass of apple wine and said with great satisfaction.

“It is thanks to your suggestion that the winery came up with the idea of ​​developing non-alcoholic beverages.”

"In business, creativity is a priceless treasure. Do you really not want 10% of the revenue from these drinks?"

Diluk slowly tasted another non-alcoholic beverage and asked Nandou this question countless times.

"No, no, I don't need that much money. If possible, please donate it to the children in Mond Orphanage."

"Also, Diluk, why are you so concerned about the family business lately?"

"Could it be that your father wants you to go home and inherit the family business?"

Facing Nandou's joke, Diluk replied seriously: "I am not young anymore, so I naturally want to share some of the pressure with my father and let him have more rest."

Listening to the various noises in the tavern, Nan Dou squinted his eyes and said with deep emotion: "You and your father have a really good relationship."

Diluk shook his head and replied as if it was a matter of course: "My father has treated me like a treasure since I was young and has devoted all his efforts to raising me. How can I not be close to him?"

"Yeah, it's nice to have a home. I wish I had one too..."

"If one day you encounter something unfair in the Knights, don't be stubborn and fall into paranoia. Rely more on the people you trust."

Nandou seemed to be mumbling to himself unintentionally, but how could Diluk, who was sitting next to him, not hear it?

Diluk, who sensed an ominous aura, became a little nervous. He reached out and grabbed Nandou's shoulder, looked at him seriously and asked, "You...what do you mean by saying that?"

"Ah? Sorry, I was a little drunk just now, and all this was nonsense, nonsense..."

Nan Dou waved his hand nonchalantly, as if what he said was just a casual remark.

But Diluk, who was familiar with him, knew that Nandou must have noticed something, but if he didn't want to say it, there was no point in forcing him.

In the end, Diluk could only look at the non-alcoholic apple wine in Nandou's hand and fell into deep thought.
