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

On the day Diluk turned eighteen.

Mondstadt, headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

"Happy birthday! Nandou-sensei, Diluk-senpai."

"Thank you!" X2

Nandou responded with a smile, and asked at the same time: "Isn't Grand Master Falga coming to the Knights today?"

Qin, who had no official duties to attend to, thought for a moment and replied, "He said he had something to do today and had to leave Mondstadt."

"Is that so...that's great." Nandou's voice was so low that neither Qin nor Diluk could hear the rest of the words.

"Qin, Diluk and I both took the day off today, but I came here specially to invite you."

"Come with us to Diluc's manor to celebrate our birthday together."

Nan Dou remained calm on the surface, but invited Qin sincerely.

"With pleasure, Senior!"

"But I've been busy lately, so it's really rude of me not to prepare any gifts for you."

"Please give me some time to prepare the gifts, and then I will ride on horseback to catch up with the caravan."

Jean, who came from a noble family of knights, apologized very elegantly.

But Nandou's attitude was unusually firm. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We can make up for it later. Come with us. Remember to bring your equipment."

"Why do we have to bring good equipment?" Qin was not surprised by Nan Dou's casual reaction, but the winery of the Legenfind family was not far from Mondstadt, and the surrounding area was very safe.

"Because our journey may not be smooth sailing..." Nan Dou Shen said mysteriously.

Qin, who was familiar with Nan Dou, did not ask any more questions. She put on her light armor for the mission in the office, and left the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius with Nan Dou and the others.

……

Outside Mondstadt, the convoy of the Leggenfind family.

"Father, you don't have to come and pick me up in person. It will delay your work time."

Diluk rode at the front of the team, and beside him was Cripps, the head of the Leggenfend family.

"Hahaha, you can work anytime, but there aren't many opportunities to welcome my precious son."

"If it wasn't your birthday today, I wouldn't know when I would be able to see you again. So yesterday I couldn't wait any longer and came to Mondstadt to wait for you."

Cripps' face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of pride and honor when he looked at Diluk.

Also, he failed in his early years in joining the Knights Templar, and never received the attention of God and obtained the Eye of God.

But Diluk helped him to fulfill all the regrets in his life, and made the name of the Leggenfinder family famous in Mondstadt again!

Thinking of this, Klips subconsciously touched the things in his pocket and thought to himself: "It's just a useless thing..."

The Leggenfind family's convoy headed along the avenue towards the Dawn Winery, and along the way they encountered many merchants, adventurers, travelers, residents, etc. who were returning to Mondstadt.

But after turning into a small path, the surroundings began to become quiet, and even the common sounds of birds and animals disappeared.

The sky gradually became gloomy, with layers of black clouds. The low air pressure made people feel depressed.

"what happened?"

"Why did the sky suddenly turn dark? According to the astronomical phenomena, it should be a sunny day today."

Qin raised her head in confusion, looking at the sky that suddenly darkened, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

I couldn't help but think of what Nan Dou said with a mysterious smile before setting off: Our journey may not be smooth sailing...

"Senior Nandou definitely knows something!"

But just as Qin raised her head to look for Nan Dou's figure, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the vision suddenly became dim. Something blocked the light above their heads!

"Xilulu!"

The horses began to neigh in fear, and the convoy fell into chaos.

"Is it finally here?"

"Enemy invasion, prepare for battle!"

Nan Dou, who was well prepared, quickly destroyed the mechanical bird hidden in the convoy, and shouted loudly, asking Diluk, Qin and the accompanying guards to enter combat status.

In the past year or two, the Fatui's activities in Mondstadt have become more frequent. So what are the Fatui executives who lead them here doing?

The answer is revealed at this moment. In order to achieve his goal, the second Fatui executive officer [Doctor] Dotore secretly placed a mechanical bird in the Leggenfind family's convoy to attract the evil dragon Ursa.

"Roar!!!"

A deafening dragon roar sounded throughout the vicinity of Mondstadt. The shadow in the sky was actually a giant purple dragon!

The evil dragon Usa poked his head out from the clouds, his eyes bloodshot, staring at the Leggenfind family's convoy as if he was stimulated by something.

"You come and protect my father, I will go and fight!"

Diluk jumped off his horse, summoned the Wolf's End Greatsword, and without hesitation slashed a flaming blade at the evil dragon Ursa.

"Come on! Come to me!"

The evil dragon Usa lightly flapped its wings and shattered the sword energy that barely flew in front of it.

After being provoked by humans, the evil dragon Ursa indeed shifted its attention to Diluk. It roared, retracted its wings and dived downward.

An unequal battle began.

Nandou calmly watched Diluk dodging the attacks of the evil dragon Ursa in a somewhat awkward manner. Everything was going according to the planned route.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Senior Diluk to deal with that monster. Let's go help him, Senior Nandou!"

After Qin finished speaking, she drew the West Wind Sword from her waist and joined the battlefield without caring about Nan Dou's reaction.

The pressure brought by the evil dragon Ursa is even stronger than the North Wind Wolf during the trial given to Diluk.

Putting aside the dragon's might, the combined strength of the North Wind Wolf, whose soul is left, may not be able to match the current evil dragon Usa.

In other words, even if Diluk, Qin and Nandou joined forces, they would not be able to defeat the evil dragon Ursa.

"The story still starts the same, but this time, the ending will be different..."

Watching Diluk and Jean trying desperately to lure the evil dragon away, Nandou remained unmoved and instead kept paying attention to Cripps's movements.

Cripps looked at Diluk who was struggling hard in the distance, with his right hand in his pocket, his face full of tension and struggle.

Just looking at a monster like that from afar would make people feel terrified, not to mention the pressure from the life level. For ordinary people to be able to stand steadily is considered to have a strong mind.

In Mondstadt, perhaps only humans like the Grand Master can defeat such a monster.

However, the Grand Commander would not be able to return to Mondstadt in a short period of time, so Nandou arranged an expedition for him that would take at least three days.

"I really want to see what the Grand Commander looks like when he uses his full strength, but the script cannot be changed at will."

"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, all these years of preparation will be wasted."

With the experience from last time, Nan Dou gave up any identity that might leave a deep impression in history this time.

Even with the help of Falga's relationship, he was just an ordinary Knight of Favonius.
