Set foot on the land of Mondstadt once again.

Breathing in the scent of flowers in the air, Lin Feng walked down the street.

Compared to the last time.

Mondstadt has changed a lot.

The first is that there are a lot fewer drunkards.

This is actually quite an outrageous thing.

The people of Mondstadt are heavy drinkers, and like the Solstice, they basically cannot live without it.

Even the soldiers in wartime had to have a sip of wine in their rations, so as not to demoralize.

But now.

Lin Feng had been in the city for a long time, but he only saw a few people chatting in the tavern.

So what did the people of Mondstadt do who didn't drink?

Job

That's right, work.

It seems that the people of Mondstadt no longer enjoy the unconditional protection of the Knights of Favonius more than before.

Especially after exposing the shadows of Mondstadt.

[Who bought the freedom of the people of Mondstadt for us?] 】

In the newspapers on the street, this sentence hung high in the most prominent position.

Lin Feng sneered, and didn't choose to buy a newspaper to read.

It seems that the appearance of the Hero's Festival has finally made the people of Mondstadt, who have always been lazy, realize how hard life is nowadays.

However, Lin Feng finally stopped.

Because he saw a title that interested him very much.

[Coulson Sebastian, a fighter who fights in the shadows.] 】

I didn't expect there to be a biography of Daddy Coulson.

Lin Feng bought a copy and sat on the street seat in the tavern and slowly flipped through it.

It's very well written.

Also very detailed.

It is clear that this is the material that the Knights of Favonius have unsealed from the archives.

Lin Feng watched it with relish.

There were some things he knew, and some things he didn't even know.

For example, Coulson, Falgar and Simon formed the Mondstadt Fortress, and the trio worked together to protect the stability of Mondstadt.

It's just that Coulson's death was written as a sudden serious illness, and he finally died of incurability.

But Lin Feng didn't mind this matter as much as he used to.

After all, the current 'Falga' is his good brother, and writing that Coulson died in infighting is not a good thing for the Knights of Favonius and his personal prestige.

"Mr. Albert, is it really you?"

Just when Lin Feng was fascinated, a familiar voice reached his ears.

Lin Feng didn't raise his head, and replied casually: "Don't bother me." ”

It was Diluc.

Returning to the Captain of the Cavalry and being officially knighted as a Knight of the Dawn, now is the time to be in high spirits.

Mondstadt is now alive and well under the rule of Grand Master Falgar, and it has changed dramatically from the same scattered city as before.

The economic gains are also the first time in recent decades that they have broken through new highs.

Rosalind Ron, the former diplomatic envoy of the Solstice Kingdom, did not know why she suddenly abandoned her repressive policy towards Mondstadt, and instead suppressed the economic encroachment of the Northland Bank, giving Mondstadt a rare respite.

Take this opportunity.

'Falga' has a policy of development in all aspects, from agriculture and liquor to science and technology, which has never been advanced before, and all of them have embarked on a new path.

At the same time, Mondstadt also ended some of the unfair agreements with Liyue and instead brokered a deal with Solstice to trade grain in exchange for technological support, which led to a wave of development.

If nothing else, the factory that previously relied on windmills has increased its efficiency by more than 100 times after the introduction of the grid technology of the solstice.

The new policy that Lin Feng formulated for Mondstadt at the beginning can be said to have been very well implemented thanks to Rosaline's change of heart and the shrewd operation of 'Falga'.

Of course.

Such a move naturally caused some discordant voices within the Knights of Favonius.

Many people think that Falga's collaboration with Solstice is tantamount to a tiger's skin, and that Solstice's oppression of Mondstadt in the past should not be forgotten.

It is also said that Mondstadt's new work system is a violation of the free will of the Anemo God, and that if 'Falga' insists on going his own way, he will surely invite the wrath of the Aeolian to Mondstadt.

However, these objections disappeared after the accident in which the proponents of the objections either fell overboard or fell from their horses.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a warning from 'Falga'.

If anyone rebels against him, the Grand Master, then he will not show mercy.

So someone compiled these things into a detailed document, and secretly sent it to the family of Gunnhild, saying that 'Falga' no longer feared the god of wind, and should be removed from his position as Grand Master.

It's a very clever and bold move.

It is a secret that the Gunnhild family is the real power family in Mondstadt, but the only one in power at this stage.

Anyone in Mondstadt's power circles knows it.

Gunnhilde's family is in charge of both the military and political realms of Mondstadt, and if it weren't for the suspicion, the positions of Grand Master and Archbishop would have been fully occupied by their family.

This is also the reason why Jean became a dandelion knight in the first place, beating Diluc, who performed better, but no one spoke out against it.

Qin can become the guardian of the four winds at such an age and seniority.

The reason for this.

It's the power of Gunnhilde.

Otherwise, with Qin's age and qualifications, he must be at least thirty years old to be eligible to compete for the position of the Four Winds Guardian.

So it was a very smart thing to send the whistleblower letter and evidence to the Gunnhild family.

Because the only person in Mondstadt who has any hope of suppressing the 'Falga' is the Gunnhild family.

However, the big surprise is this.

These letters were directly sunk into the sea, and there was no more news.

What's even more frightening.

Fredrica Gunnhilde, who had retired, unexpectedly reappeared, announcing that a new group of young people from the Gunnhild family had joined the Order of Favonius.

These unusual news send political signals.

It is clear that the Gunnhilde family supports the 'Falga' approach.

Now the opposition is completely silent.

Mondstadt's most powerful families have joined forces with the 'Falga', so what is there to fight, what they need to think about now is their own safety.

This panic and anxiety has continued to this day, and the opposition is still cowering and not daring to say anything.

As for the people who caused all this.

It's Diluc, Kaeya and Rosalia.

Rosaria is easy to understand, after all, she is a person in the shadows, and it is her job to eliminate dissidents and eliminate hidden dangers.

Diluc and Kaeya are more intriguing.

The two of them did not join the Shadows, but they were authorized by Falgar to share information with the Shadows and enjoy the support provided by the Shadows.

The various accidents some time ago were actually caused by the two brothers.

It is precisely because of such special work.

As early as when Lin Feng first entered the city, Diluc spotted his traces.

In view of Lin Feng's bad reputation and behavior in Mondstadt, Diluc sent someone to inform Kaeya and the Grand Master while following him until Lin Feng sat down, and then he tentatively stepped forward to see if he could talk.

As a result, I ate the closed door soup at once.

But Diluc didn't have much to be angry about.

He had seen Lin Feng's strength, he was also clear about Lin Feng's enmity with Mondstadt, and he was even more familiar with what Lin Feng had done.

If the two of them were still competing with each other when they were young.

Then now Diluc doesn't even have the right to speak loudly to Lin Feng.

The integrity of a genius is useless in front of the strong.

What's more, Lin Feng is still a person who is clearly related to the wind god, no matter from what point of view, Diluc can only honestly accompany Lin Feng on the side, taking this opportunity to carry out the so-called monitoring mission.

Diluc's appearance did not cause waves in Lin Feng's mood, and he was still concentrating on reading the biography of Kelsen.

It wasn't until the second guest appeared that he closed the book and looked at it with a smile.

Rosalyn.

Lin Feng's second dependent.

With the help of Lin Feng's power, he managed to escape the curse of the Flame Witch, and in one fell swoop, he reversed his bad attitude towards Mondstadt and began to help his hometown start a new round of development.

"Since you're here, why don't you say hello in advance."

Rosalind didn't have the deferential attitude of Lilupar to the gods, but like a friend she hadn't seen in years, and after taking her seat, she expertly ordered two of her signature cocktails.

"Thank you."

Lin Feng's current location is not Mondstadt's most famous [Angel's Gift], but another famous tavern, Cat's Tail Tavern.

This tavern has a bartender named Diona, who claims to be able to make delicious wine no matter what ingredients are used.

Lin Feng took a sip.

Indeed, as rumored, it tastes good.

As for the cat-eared bartender, Lin Feng glanced at it and saw the reason why her bartending ability was so good.

Blessing of the Pure Water Elves.

Similar to the blessing given to himself by the god of flowers.

With this blessing, Diona can make a very popular wine even with a dark material such as a lizard's tail.

"Hehe, it's kind of interesting."

Lin Feng raised his hand and nodded in the void.

He strengthened this blessing.

Now, even if Diona mixes wine with plain water, she can make a delicious wine that is no less delicious than dandelion wine.

Soon.

The results are there.

A few exclamations quickly came to mind in the tavern.

The few drinkers were amazed at the wine that Diona had concocted, and they couldn't stop drinking one glass after another, and Diona, who was inspired to destroy Mondstadt's wines, suddenly turned black as the bottom of the pot.

"Haha-"

Lin Feng laughed, and had no intention of taking back this blessing.

That's what it is.

He took revenge on the little thing he was bullied when he was a child.

"You're a lot stronger."

Rosalyn, who was sitting opposite, couldn't understand what Lin Feng was doing.

But her intuition told her that Lin Feng's current strength was terrifying, and it was completely beyond her imagination.

"Aang."

"After suffering a little and getting some benefits, it became like this."

"It's you, have any people from the Solstice come to trouble you recently?"

Lin Feng looked at Rosalyn with a smile.

Today, Rosalyn is still dressed in the same Mondstadt costume, and she is not dressed in the luxurious decorations of the past, except for a bun and a pair of earrings.

"Columbia came, but left without saying anything."

"No one else has been here."

Speaking of this, Rosalyn also thought it was strange.

It stands to reason that her current behavior is no different from treason, how can no one investigate her or even punish her.

It didn't take her long to figure it out, though.

Lin Feng.

This new master of his own, his power has been approved by the Ice Empress, and he has reached some kind of agreement with the Empress, otherwise he would not be here so peacefully, and he can even continue to receive the support of Solstice as before.

"That's good."

"Otherwise, I'll have to teach some people a lesson."

Lin Feng smiled absentmindedly.

His attitude made Rosalyn even more sure.

Her current situation was brought about by Lin Feng, otherwise, even if she got rid of the curse of the Blazing Witch, she would not be so peaceful now.

As the two of them spoke, more and more people rushed here.

Kaeya, Albedo, Klee, Jean, 'Falga'.

Almost everyone who knew or was familiar with Lin Feng immediately rushed over after receiving Diluc's news.

Except for a certain bard, it can be said that everyone is here.

To them, Lin Feng either smiled and spoke, or spoke dotingly, or spoke with a serious face.

In a word.

Different people have different attitudes.

Such a small party has been lively in the cattail tavern until the evening.

Lin Feng got up and returned to his home.

As soon as you enter the door.

The smell of wine made him frown.

Sure enough.

When he didn't see Wendy at the Cattail Tavern during the day, he guessed that Wendy was digging into his inventory again.

Now that I look at it, it turns out to be so.

Lin Feng shook his hand casually, the breeze blew, and the smell of wine instantly swept out of the door.

As for Wendy's empty wine bottle, it also floated into the trash can by itself.

In the blink of an eye, the air in the room was still fresh.

"Wake up—"

Lin Feng unceremoniously stepped forward and kicked Wendy twice.

He didn't show mercy, he directly kicked Wendy and screamed, and jumped up from his deep sleep, covering his buttocks, rubbing his sleepy eyes and trying to distinguish Lin Feng's appearance.

"Yes, it's you—Hiccup~~~"

Wendy spoke with a smell of alcohol.

I don't know how much he drank, his eyes can't be opened, and he has a big tongue when he speaks.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he snapped his fingers.

I saw that the ice elemental power and water elemental power on Wendy's head quickly condensed, turned into a basin of ice water, and poured it on Wendy's head in an uproar.

Such a stimulus finally woke up Wendy.

"Cluck-cluck-"

The extremely cold temperature of the ice water made Wendy's teeth tremble up and down, and his blurry eyes finally cleared up, he crossed his arms and said tremblingly, "What are you doing?" Freezing, freezing to death. ”

"What do you say?"

"I'm drunk at my house again, and it's good if I didn't beat you."

Lin Feng glanced at him, sat on the sofa, and then changed his tone: "Are you awake?" Let's have a good chat when you wake up? ”

"Talk, talk about what?"

"Istaru."

Can I leave this topic out of it?"

"Nope."

“.”
