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

Diluk was seventeen years old.

Mondstadt, headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, the leader's office.

"Long time no see, Captain Falga. Is this kid following you now?"

Nandou poured the tea himself familiarly, pointed at Qin who was handling official business at the desk, and asked Falga who was doing nothing.

"Yes, Jean is worthy of being born into the Gunhild Knight Family. She is highly skilled in martial arts and has outstanding talents. Most importantly, she is also first-rate in handling the affairs of the Knights!"

Farga immediately praised Qin highly, and from the tone of his voice, he even regretted not letting Qin join the Knights Templar earlier.

Nan Dou saw through the man's true thoughts at a glance, and said with a frown: "The last sentence is your real purpose!"

"Ahem, none of this matters. Isn't Jean doing well in the Knights?"

Nan Dou looked up and found that Qin had no reaction to their conversation at all, and was still conscientiously completing the work that should have been done by Farga.

Nandou shook his head and said to Falga earnestly: "Captain, do you remember what you said when you tested Diluk and me seven years ago?"

"Of course... I don't remember..."

Nandou was not surprised at all, and continued, "Then you asked us what is the most important thing for a Knight of Favonius?"

"Your answer is strength."

"You can't fail to see Jean's potential. You are right to want her to become an all-round talent who is good at both literature and martial arts. The Knights of Favonius also need such a person."

"But if her talent is wasted because of this, I think it would be the greatest sin."

"Many people can do clerical work, but it's hard to find a strong person like the Grand Master."

"When the enemy attacks, they don't care how good Qin's diplomatic and domestic skills are."

"Why not give Qin more time to train and grow, and assign the official duties to more professional candidates."

Hearing Nan Dou's heartfelt words, Falga frowned and fell into deep thought.

He admitted that he did have the idea of ​​letting Jean manage the Knights Templar and Mondstadt on his behalf.

There wouldn't be any problem with Yiqin's personality and background, and she wouldn't be dissatisfied.

His many years of experience as a group leader told him that internal affairs are the basis for maintaining a country's stable development.

But... strength is what determines a country's survival.

Of course, Mond has not fallen to that point now.

But there will always be a time when he is not in Mond. Who in Mond will be able to take on this important responsibility then?

Although Diluk is a top-notch kid in terms of strength and talent, he is too upright and stubborn.

As for Nan Dou, he is intelligent and tactful, but because he is an orphan, he is not strong enough to convince others, so he is not a good candidate.

Only Qin, who possesses wisdom, strength and family background, is undoubtedly the perfect candidate among the best.

Originally, Falga thought that he would have the strength to support himself, and Qinduo preferred to manage Mondstadt. But now, after listening to Nandou's words, he felt that he should not be too selfish.

"I will consider your suggestion. Do you have anything else to talk to me about?"

However, this matter concerns the future of Mond, so Falga still needs to think carefully about it. He did not give an immediate answer and instead asked Nandou.

Nan Dou just saw Qin and mentioned it in passing, but this was not his purpose today.

……

"Captain Falga, as a [North Wind Knight], you must be very familiar with the legends of the [North Wind Wolf] and the first generation of [North Wind Knights], right?"

"Of course, what do you want to ask?"

"I want to know the whereabouts of the sword of the first generation of [Northern Wind Knight]."

Falga was a little surprised by Nandou's words, but he told the truth afterwards: "The sword does exist, but the exact location is now only known by the remnant spirit of the North Wind Wolf."

"You ask this because you are interested in that sword?"

Falga looked at Nandou with interest.

"Of course, no one would not be tempted by such a legendary weapon."

"With that weapon and the right person, we can create a [Hero of Mondstadt]."

"Don't you think it's a good deal?"

"You have been the benchmark and idol of the Knights of Favonius for too long, so long that you are disgusted with it."

"At this time, if a new candidate appears to share your pressure, wouldn't you be tempted?"

Nan Dou's tempting remarks made Qin, who had been working hard, subconsciously look up.

"Hehe, I wouldn't say I'm disgusted, but it does feel a bit uncomfortable being treated with respect wherever I go."

"I'm very interested in your proposal, but I don't like having so many eyes on me every day."

"That sword does have the power you described. I have used it before, but unfortunately, I cannot harness the power of that sword."

"But if it's the person you're thinking of, then he does meet the requirements for the sword."

Falga’s words surprised Nandou a little. Falga had actually used the legendary [Wolf’s End].

Nan Dou's shock made Falga very proud, and he immediately put forward his own conditions.

"I can give you the opportunity to obtain the great sword, but you have to promise me one thing."

Nan Dou had expected this and was very decisive. He agreed without even asking what it was about.

"Help me handle Mond's affairs and teach Qin how to solve some problems."

Nan Dou had no doubts this time and agreed to everything: "No problem, as long as I can do it."

This time it was Falgar who was surprised. He looked at Nandou and said, "You and Diluk are really close. Brothers are no better than this."

"Forget it, I don't care anymore. As long as you can do your job well, it's no big deal for me to help you."

Afterwards, Falga told Nandou about the conditions that needed to be fulfilled in order to obtain [Wolf's End].

The condition is very simple: you have to gain the recognition of the North Wind Wolf in a one-on-one battle with the remaining soul of the North Wind Wolf.

But this simple condition is extremely difficult for most people.

"Don't worry, even if you fail the test, your life won't be in danger, and I will give Diluc some special training."

In order to completely dispel Nandou's doubts, Falga made a serious assurance.

"I believe you, Grand Master."

Nan Dou walked over to Qin who was working, and seeing this, Farga shrugged and left the office.

"Long time no see, Nandou-sensei."

Feeling Nan Dou approaching, Qin took the initiative to look up and greet him.

"Don't call me teacher, Qin, you have surpassed me a long time ago."

"If outsiders hear this, they will laugh at me."

Nan Dou waved his hand quickly. Qin, who was born in the Gunhild family, has received a lot of attention since joining the Western Knights.

But her ability in all aspects of work and her martial arts skills proved that she was worthy of her origin as a noble knight.

"You have taught me a lot, so it is only natural for me to call you teacher."

"I also heard what the Grand Commander said just now. I will humbly learn from you, just like before."

Qin stood up very seriously and said to Nan Dou with great respect.

Nan Dou slapped his forehead and recalled the days a few years ago when Qin pestered him with questions every day, and the key point was that she was being unreasonable.

No matter what suggestions and questions Nan Dou raised, Qin would immediately put them into practice, and then produce the results and continue to ask Nan Dou questions.

Nan Dou still remembers the most classic moment when he was annoyed by Qin Wen's questions, so he asked her to cut the dandelions with a sword and keep the dandelions intact.

However, three days later, Qin actually came to him with three intact dandelions.

Nan Dou's eyes widened in shock, because he suddenly discovered that there was a brand new Eye of God hanging on Qin's waist!

Nan Dou couldn't help but say, "So this is how it was solved!"

Thinking back to the present, Nandou subconsciously wanted to reach out and pat Qin's head, but after thinking about it, he put his hand down and replied seriously: "Well, I will do my best to help you."

Nan Dou is not pretending to know something. Although he has never managed a knight order, his experience in managing the Hall of Rebirth when fate intervened last time can be applied.

And to be honest, the branches of the Hall of Rebirth throughout Liyue are much larger than the Knights Templar.

If Nan Dou really wanted to do everything by himself like Qin, he would be too busy to handle it even if he died of exhaustion.

It is very important to learn how to use people at this time. As long as a reasonable supervision mechanism and reporting mechanism are established, Nan Dou really doesn't think it will be difficult to manage the number of people in the Knights Templar.
