Section 13 News from Parents

"The flower language of Cecilia is a wanderer returning home."

"This is a flower that people in Mondstadt will wear during the Winter Snow Festival, because the Winter Snow Festival is the coldest period in Mondstadt. People no longer go out to work. People who are busy outside put down their work and return home, so that their relatives can get together.

Let’s celebrate the reunion together.” Froya’s soft voice appeared at the right time, resolving Xu Yun’s embarrassment.

"Of course, not everyone can put down their work. Soldiers still need to maintain order during the festival and ensure the safety of the town. Patrol knights still need to perform tasks, clean up monsters that appear around the roads, and ensure that the countryside in the outer suburbs is not attacked by monsters.

Harassment." Landis continued.

"And our Mr. Tima is one of the leaders responsible for patrolling during the festival."

When Xu Yun heard this, his eyes fell on Tima's left leg, which was equipped with a prosthetic leg. It was wearing a bent leg like an ordinary knight, and there was no sign of amputation at all.

But Tima's dismounting movement will indeed be affected, especially when landing.

"Look, this is a new thing from Fontaine - a mechanical prosthetic leg. After installing it, it makes my movements much easier. But this is just a temporary installation. The businessman in charge of selling said that he would tailor it to the size of my legs.

This prosthetic leg belongs to me, and I will use it as a replacement for the time being."

Tima noticed Xu Yun's eyes falling on her, showing off her new prosthetic leg generously.

Indeed, after careful observation, Xu Yun found that the length of the temporary replacement left calf was slightly shorter than Tima's right leg.

"This is considered a personal benefit given to me by the Knights after I returned to the Knights, so it is free of charge. Of course it is made according to the best standards." Tima blinked and was obviously in a good mood.

"Then I really want to congratulate you, Tima - big brother." Although I am about the same age as Tima's eldest son Kerry, looking at his handsome face with neatly groomed beard, I can't say the word uncle.

.

"With such a good thing, plus the Winter Snow Festival, everyone should be happy, but I think you are not in a good mood." Xu Yun has never been able to hide his thoughts, and will directly ask what comes to mind.

Tima shrugged and smiled sheepishly, while the other four knights cast slightly resentful looks at him.

"Let me explain this. Tima has just returned to the Knights and was assigned to the South Wind Knights as the Grand Knight Commander in charge of public security inspections. The so-called three things to do when a new officer takes office. Our Grand Knight Commander also wants to give his new post to his colleagues.

He left a good impression on them, so he took the initiative to undertake the daily patrol tasks between urban and rural areas during the festival." Landis took off his gloves and explained for the embarrassed Tima.

"In the Knights of the Lion's Tooth, he knew a few unlucky guys who had fought alongside us, so of course he asked us for help. Originally, I was going to take down Jessica in the tavern in the next few days..."

The man who looked like a dwarf actually had a buzzing voice.

"Okay Luke, being able to be asked for help by Chief Tima proves that we have a close relationship. If good things happen in the future, we will definitely be given priority." The thin knight gently pushed his companion's shoulder, interrupting his subsequent words.

"Yes, if there are benefits in the knights in the future, I will definitely think of my brothers first." Tima quickly said, "After I get off patrol today, I'm going to treat you. Let's go to Master Landis's tavern for a drink."

The Landis family's tavern, of course, refers to the best tavern in Mondstadt, 'Angel's Gift'.

"Haha~" Landis exhaled a white breath

"Grand Knight Tima, you are treating me in front of my master because you think that I, Legenfend, can't afford a few drinks? You will be patrolling around my territory these days. Even as a lord, you should show some respect.

.I paid for the drinks for the past few days." Landis took out a gold coin from his arms, flicked it with his finger, and the gold coin made a pleasant crisp sound and swirled towards Tima.

"A gold mora, Master Landis, you are so generous!" Luke stared at the golden parabola in the sky and exclaimed exaggeratedly. The emotions of the other knights were also aroused, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but

It is forbidden to smile.

Xu Yun raised his eyebrows. Judging from the performance of Luke and others, Kimora's value seemed to be much higher than he thought.

In the game, mora is just the most common currency. Of course, it looks like gold coins. But when you use mora to buy things in the store, you will find that its value is actually limited. A fisherman's toast costs 2,000 mora, and potatoes

Ingredients like these cost dozens or hundreds of molars to purchase per unit.

So after Landis left that day, Xu Yun opened his wallet and saw the familiar gold color. He counted 20 moras, but he didn't take it seriously and threw it into the drawer of the bedside table. He still complained in his heart:

'The dignified Legenfend is so stingy. The noble lord's arrogance is indeed unique in its own way.'

"What are you doing, practicing swordplay?" Landis returned his attention to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun nodded: "The injury is almost healed. Let's do some exercise to help the body recover faster."

"Well, I'm a lot stronger." Tima nodded.

"You have changed so much. If Master Landis hadn't called you, I would have hardly recognized you."

Calculating carefully, Xu Yun stayed at Froya for eighteen days in the name of recuperating. During these days, he ate nutritious recipes prepared by Froya every day and stayed in a warm and comfortable small building guest room, as well as suitable clothes.

Wearing winter clothes and taking a bath every few days, he has changed a lot compared to eighteen days ago.

He is still the same person, with his iconic black hair and black eyes, which are relatively rare in Mondstadt after all. His appearance is still the same, but the feeling of his whole person has completely changed.

In Tima's impression, Timmy was just an orphan who lived on the edge of the village and was abandoned by his parents. He made a living by cutting firewood and collecting mountain products such as matsutake mushrooms and pine cones in the mountains.

The body that was as thin as dry wood seemed to have been filled with an extra layer of skin and flesh, which was much more pleasing to the eye.

The dull, yellow and rough skin becomes smooth and delicate, and the color is brightened a lot, turning into a radiant color like mutton fat.

But the biggest difference is his temperament. He has a certain self-confidence and calmness about him. Even when facing Landis, the first heir of the Legenfund family, he still looks calm and natural.

It's as if the relationship between the two is equal, rather than a commoner boy and an aristocratic young master. This is simply an incredible thing, considering that he is just a poor wild boy living in the mountains.

Even his eldest son, Kerry, only dared to lower his head when he saw his grandfather, and did not even dare to look at the old man.

As for Ruth's father, he only worked as a housekeeper in a noble family in the city. The majesty in his body was developed through many years of managing servants. There is no way he could compare with someone like Landis who was born into a noble family since he was a child.

Compared to big people.

"You have so many broken bones, and it's been less than a month, and you're almost healed?" Landis was a little surprised, and turned to look at Froya, his eyes resting on the grass element around Froya's waist.

In the eyes of God.

If Froya is willing to use elemental power to treat Timmy, he can indeed recover in a short time. But I remember that she was still making Timmy drink medicine when they last met. If she wanted to use elemental power, she would have used it long ago. There is no need.

Then it would be troublesome to arrange for medication.

Froya shook her head decisively and looked at the boy, saying that this was all the result of Timmy's own self-healing.

"You don't believe it? There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just compare and contrast now, right?" Xu Yun said half-jokingly.

"Actually, it's okay. It's still early anyway, so it doesn't matter if you delay it for a while." Landis smiled and patted the long sword on his waist. An eagle head was carved on the end of the beautiful hilt.

"I surrender. I still know how much I am capable of. If we really want to compete, why don't we play Summoning the Seven Saints?" Xu Yun raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"This is indeed a good suggestion, but we still have business today, so the call of the Seven Saints can only be left until next time."

As he spoke, Landis took the lead, and everyone followed him into another wooden building next to Froya's wooden building.

"Send someone to bring some firewood. Let's take a rest here and leave before noon. Is the building being cleaned?" he casually asked the resident commander who was following behind.

"Yes. It's damn cold. We need to light the fire quickly." The resident commander answered with a smile on his face.

This is a somewhat obese middle-aged man. In addition to a full set of leather armor, he also wears a layer of chain mail. On the outermost layer is a dark red coat of arms embroidered with the family crest of the Leggenfund family.

If he hadn't been wearing armor and a helmet, at first glance you would have thought he was a wealthy businessman or a cook who lived in a big city.

He directed the soldiers to fetch firewood from the firewood pile next to the barracks, while he continued to follow Landis.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do here. You can go about your business. Oh, remember to keep an eye on our horses, feed them some beans, and prepare another one to follow us away." Landis ordered with a nonchalant expression.

"Yes. I'll make arrangements right away. If you have anything else, just ask. I'll go down right away."

"Go ahead." Landis waved his hand.

After everyone entered the wooden building, Landis said to the others: "You go in and rest first, and I will have someone bring you some teapots and snacks later.

Several knights happily agreed and entered the living room to find their seats and sit down. Needless to say, they waited for Landis's people to entertain them.

Froya went back to her wooden building.

Landis and Xu Yun were left standing in the foyer.

"I saw that they were in a bad mood before, but now I know it was because they were working overtime."

"Working overtime? That's an interesting word." Landis raised the corner of his mouth.

"What about you, my young master Landis?" Xu Yun continued: "Your face doesn't look very happy either."

Landis pointed to the bandage wrapped around his head: "Anyone who is injured will not be in a good mood until the injury recovers. Of course, there are other reasons for my mood."

"I heard you say before that my guess was correct, so it seems that you have taken action with the group of demons who sneaked into the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain?"

"I knew you would guess it. Timmy, you guy..." He coughed like he cleared his throat.

"After I went back that day, I found the intelligence that had been collected and stored before. Sure enough, the intelligence mentioned that there was news that all things would eventually perish. They used demon caravans to enter various towns and secretly preach and develop believers."

Xu Yun showed a genuine smile: "These evil cults only have this kind of methods."

‘I followed the caravan into Mondstadt and started making trouble on the same day, but I didn’t know how to hide and grow secretly. Don’t you know that only by holding on tight can you win?’ I complained in my heart.

"Then I sorted through the collected information and found that after the demon's caravan entered Mondstadt and split into various towns, there was indeed a team that did not appear in any town. Of course, it was impossible to go to the main city.

Are they going back to do business with villagers in the countryside? How much money can the villagers have to buy the gems, magic beast leather and magic medicine they sell?"

"So their disappearance is destined to have some purpose." Xu Yun said.

"Yes, they last appeared outside Qingquan Town, which is the only way to enter Longji Snow Mountain. But this road is in Fuxue Town, the last pass from Cangfeng Highlands to Longji Snow Mountain. Our

No one has found any trace of them."

"They probably chose a small path into the mountain to avoid the eyes of the Mondstadt people. However, this requires someone among them to be very familiar with the terrain of Mondstadt and be able to act as a guide." Xu Yun followed up with analysis.

"Of course they will be very familiar with the terrain, because there are locals from Mondstadt in their team." Landis looked at the young man in front of him, his pure black gem-like eyes reflecting his own red-haired face.
