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

A few days later, the news that Diluk had obtained the legendary weapon quickly spread throughout Mondstadt under Nandou's deliberate arrangement.

For a time, this incident became a hot topic among the people of Mond before and after meals, and its popularity reached its peak.

Nandou is well aware of the importance of bringing in goods in a timely manner, monetizing traffic... ahem, pushing Diluk's reputation to the peak while the popularity is still there.

With Falga's approval, Diluk began to gather several teams of elite knights to defeat the monsters that threatened Mondstadt, to plunder the treasure-stealing groups that were robbing the trade routes, and to open up more safe roads in the wild.

In addition, people were secretly spreading rumors that Grand Commander Falga had secretly considered Diluk as the next [Knight of the North Wind] candidate.

He also asked Master Cripps to openly supply large amounts of wine to the residents of Mond for free, while secretly spreading the already public information about the winery's annual taxes on the Knights.

After Nandou's series of manipulations, Diluk's reputation completely reached the top of Mondstadt, second only to Grand Commander Falga.

Of course, there were voices of opposition during this period, but they could not withstand the public support of Grand Master Farga and the approval of the vast majority of knights in the Knights Templar.

Falga didn't mind Diluk's reputation surpassing his own. After all, his original job was actually solved, and he actually wanted to train Diluk to become the next [Knight of the North Wind].

Although Diluk's temperament needs to be polished to gain the recognition of wolves, the sincerity of his heart is something more precious.

The condition for using Wolf's End is to have pure and sincere faith, because at the moment of its birth, Wolf's End embodies the pure faith of the Knight of the North Wind in protecting Mondstadt and the most primitive wildness of the North Wind Wolf.

Users who do not have the determination to protect Mondstadt cannot lift the Wolf's End. Those who can lift the Wolf's End will be influenced by the wolf nature in it at that moment. Those with impure hearts will gradually lose their sanity under its influence.

These are the conditions and costs for using legendary weapons in their prime.

For example, the Homa staff that has been passed down in the Wangsei-do for thousands of years, those who are not recognized are not even qualified to see its original appearance, let alone use it.

"Mondstadt has been really busy these past few days, with all kinds of monsters popping up."

"Rosalia often complained to me that her work has become more demanding and that she always has dark circles under her eyes from staying up late."

"Hey, do nuns have to work late at night now?"

Farga, who had completely become a lazy person, was holding a cup of tea and watching Nan Dou and Qin who were working, and sighed.

Nan Dou was confused, as he knew very well what kind of job Rosalia was talking about.

Recently, with the rise of Diluk, many bugs in Mondstadt have begun to move secretly, causing great trouble to Mondstadt's public security.

There are countless people who need Rosalia's brain, so naturally she feels that she will never be able to finish her work no matter how much overtime she works.

"Maybe Rosalia is working too hard. It's because the Grand Master has had such a profound influence on her."

Nan Dou wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and answered casually. If Falga really knew that Rosalia had become the executioner of the Church of Favonius, and voluntarily, he would not be able to predict what would happen.

Qin at the side raised her head in confusion. It was clear that the nuns of West Wind Cathedral would not arrange work at night, so what was going on?

However, thinking of Rosalia's identity, she didn't say anything more. Since Teacher Nan Dou said it was okay, then it must be okay.

"Forget it, let's not talk about her for now. Is there something important that you called me over for?"

As the situation in Mondstadt has become increasingly chaotic recently, the workload of the Knights of Favonius has increased day by day, but Falgar is still very free.

Qin and Nandou completely took over the work and some of the rights of Grand Commander Falga. In other words, it would not be a problem to say that this was a power grab and usurpation of the throne.

But Farga didn't care and even encouraged them to do so because he firmly believed in the principle of trusting people when employing them and not employing people if you don't trust them.

Nandou knew that Farga trusted him and Qin, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Recently, the Inspector General of the Knights, Chloe, has had private contact with the Fatui."

"At this point in time, most of the things that Fatui cares about are probably related to Diluk."

Farga did not rush to answer, but after careful consideration, he replied: "What inconclusive evidence is there?"

Inspector General Chloe is a senior member of the Knights Templar and cannot take action against him easily without sufficient evidence.

Nan Dou shook his head: "The other party acted very cautiously and did not leave any loopholes."

"But recent signs indicate that some organization is secretly planning all of this, and the Fatui are the most likely suspect."

"I will keep a close eye on Chloe in the near future. If he really betrays the Knights, I will clean up the mess myself."

"As for the Fatui, I will find time to meet with their executive officer."

Farga's tone was calm, but everyone could see that he was a little angry.

Qin and Nan Dou didn't have much work to do, most of it was handed over to civilian staff specially selected to serve the head of the group office. They only needed to decide the important matters.

Soon after, the two finished their work and Farga had already left.

"Teacher Nandou, I'm going to the training ground to train. Do you want to come with me?"

Qin invited Nan Dou to train with her as usual. Although Nan Dou was far from her opponent in a real fight, if they only competed in skills, Nan Dou could still fight back and forth with Qin.

"No, I have something to do today, maybe next time."

Nan Dou waved his hand and left the Knights alone.

Walking on the streets of Mond, Nan Dou looked at the people coming and going, and all kinds of thoughts arose in his mind.

“What’s the meaning of what I’ve done all these years?”

"Wait, if we pursue the meaning of everything, then it is meaningless in itself."

“It feels like going through so much trouble to get a happy ending to a game.”

"I can change the predetermined fate of others, but it doesn't seem to cost me anything except time. Even time is not required because I will eventually return to my body."

"..."

Nan Dou's thoughts were in a mess, and even the previous sentence could not be connected to the next one.

This is because he is about to reach the end of the story and make the final decision.

"Diluk, my good brother, I hope you won't be too sad when I leave. If you go back to the same path you once took..."

Nan Dou's figure was getting farther and farther away in the sunset, just like the crowd in a movie that was beginning to end and didn't look back.
