"It's just as I expected! The Knights' work style is still as slow and inefficient as ever, no matter what happens." The man complained with dissatisfaction.

"Hey, hey, can you please stop teasing me at a time like this?" Kaia on the side quickly retorted.

At this time, Paimon noticed the man walking over and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "Um... who are you?"

Obviously, the thrilling blow just now frightened Paimon greatly, and there was still a hint of fear in her eyes.

"My name is Diluk, and I'm the owner of a winery called 'Dawn Winery'. I saw you sneaking into the ruins before..." Diluk explained expressionlessly.

"So, you have been following us?" Ying frowned, her heart full of doubts. For some reason, she felt that the man in front of her exuded an indescribable mysterious aura.

Hearing this, Diluk smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, then rubbed his forehead with his hand and sighed deeply: "How can you say that, young lady?"

"This is a long story and cannot be explained in a few words. You'd better follow me." There was an unspeakable helplessness in his voice.

Before he finished speaking, Diluk waved his arm and a blazing flame gushed out, instantly melting the huge ice that trapped Kaeya and Ying. The sound of the ice breaking was crisp and pleasant, as if it had broken some kind of restraint, making people feel relieved.

"Then I'll leave here first, Ying." Kaiya said softly, and at the same time reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword inserted in the crevice of the stone, and pulled it out with force.

He moved gently, fearing to damage the precious weapon, and then he carefully sheathed the sword and put it away carefully.

Then, everyone stood up and followed Diluk's steps, slowly walking out of the ruins. Along the way, everyone remained silent, seemingly still immersed in the shock of what had just happened.

Paimon, who was walking at the end of the group, kept her eyes on Diluk. She blinked her big eyes with curiosity and thought to herself, "This Mr. Diluk is such a strange person..." As she thought, she followed the people in front of her closely, fearing that she would fall behind.

At the same time, in a tavern called "Angel's Gift", three inconspicuous figures were sitting quietly in a corner, having a pleasant conversation.

"So, you are really resurrected?!" Even Wendy, the God of Wind, couldn't help but show surprise when hearing what Qianyu said.

"Well...that should be the case, but I feel it's very strange too..." Qianyu tried hard to recall the past.

"When I was dying, time seemed to slow down and my consciousness became increasingly blurred."

"Then, my consciousness entered a strange space, where there were many bright and dazzling stars. The distance between me and those stars was so close that it seemed as if I could reach out and pick them."

Wendy was frantically imagining this scene in her mind, but even though she was well-informed, she couldn't imagine it at all...

"In that place, I saw many familiar faces, including you, Wendy."

Hearing this, Wendy immediately became curious and asked, "So, what did I and the other people you know in that mysterious space say?"

Qianyu nodded slightly to show his affirmation, and then continued: "I still remember that you told me at that time that you wanted me to buy you a drink." As he spoke, a "kind" smile appeared on his face.

"Ah, this..." Hearing this, Wendy suddenly felt very embarrassed. He never thought that he would leave such a strange impression in the other person's mind!

Tevarin, who was sitting nearby, couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and burst into laughter at Qianyu's description.

Qianyu waved her hand gently, signaled, and then continued: "The scene at that time seemed like a dream, you were like a phantom made of light and shadow, quietly appearing beside me.

"Then, you hugged me tightly, making me feel endless warmth. However, good times are always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, you said goodbye to me, walked away, and finally disappeared, just as mysterious as when you first came to me."

"Just as my consciousness gradually became blurred in the vast sea of ​​stars, suddenly, I opened my eyes abruptly, and was surprised to find that I was already on a beach."

"The rest of my memories are a little vague..."

At this moment, the slightly shabby door of the tavern suddenly made a creaking sound, and then was pushed open violently, and three figures appeared at the door.

"In this way, this commission has finally been successfully completed!" Paimon shouted excitedly.

"Yeah, that's true." Ying agreed with a smile.

It turned out that not long ago, they successfully handed the sword to the leader Qin. When Qin saw that Ying had actually found the sword, she was surprised and happy.

She said to Ying: "The reward for this commission has been placed with the Adventurer's Association. In addition, I personally suggest that you go there and register as an adventurer."

"After all, it's rare to find someone like you who can complete the tasks I entrusted to you so quickly. If you choose to become an adventurer, you will definitely be able to help more people in need."

After saying these words, Captain Qin's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.

Of course, Ying felt extremely honored and delighted for the recognition from Captain Qin.

At this moment, Ying was wearing an adventurer's medal on her chest. There was no doubt that she had become a true and upright adventurer!

"Wow, Ying, look over there, isn't that Qianyu!" At this moment, Paimon's attention was suddenly attracted by a figure.

"Well, it seems to be him. It looks like he is talking to someone else. Why don't we go over and join in the fun?" Ying suggested.

However, at the same time, Diluk on the side noticed the presence of Venti, and in an instant, his fists clenched tightly involuntarily.

“This guy actually sneaked in here again to drink for free…” Diluk muttered in a low voice, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes.

He quickly glanced at Charles standing beside him. Just a glance and Charles trembled as if struck by lightning. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, as if he was trying desperately to explain: "This is none of my business, Master Diluk! I really don't know anything!"
