Chapter 207: First Arrival in Mondstadt
The main entrance bridge of Mondstadt.
"Including this time, I have been to Mondstadt three times. This time I finally saw Mondstadt." Heidi looked at the high city walls and the distinctive windmills and couldn't help but sigh, "Mondstadt has always been a free city-state, which shows that it was not easy for me to gain freedom."
"I like to look forward. Now you are standing on the land of Mondstadt. Every gust of wind carries the blessing of the God of Wind. This is a good start." The young master smiled and said, "Miss Heidi, since this is your first time in Mondstadt, let me be your guide."
"Interesting, a Solstice man is guiding a Fontaine man in Mond. So where is the first stop?"
"Let me ask you, what is Mondstadt most famous for?" asked the young master.
Without hesitation, Heidi said, "Dandelion wine, of course."
"Then our first stop should be the most famous tavern: Angel's Gift."
……
"Don't look at me like that. I got drunk after taking a sip of fire water last time. It means you are still young. Ice hook juice is suitable for you." The young master saw Heidi's angry look, smiled and took a sip of the wine, "Well, it is worthy of being a Mond specialty."
"Hey, you're only a little older than me, don't treat me like a child." Heidi pouted and took a big sip of juice unwillingly. Her eyes lit up, "Hey, this tastes pretty good. The iced texture is just right."
"My recommendation is not wrong. The children all say it is good."
"Hmph." Heidi finished the drink in one gulp. "I want more."
……
"How are the vegetables in your garden growing recently?" two people at the next table were chatting.
"Oh no, the carrots are all crooked and cracked. The carrots on the ground have grown into all kinds of weird shapes. Some of them look like palms and I don't dare to eat them."
"The cabbages in my field are all eaten by worms. Hey, the lotus flowers near the pond in Qingquan Town have stopped growing recently. I wanted to pick some to cook."
"I don't know what went wrong, but I have reported it to the Knights of Favonius. They have taken samples of the soil and water, and I believe there will be results soon."
"It looks like the price of vegetables is going to go up, so I'll go stock up on some vegetables later."
"I said, it's probably a water problem. My friend who works at Chenxi Winery said that the winery has no new wine recently."
"Ah, you can skip the meal, but you can't skip the wine. The situation has suddenly become serious, so hurry up and drink a few more glasses."
……
The young master thought that this was consistent with the information he had at hand, and that the Fruit Wine Lake was polluted.
However, the Knights have not announced this to the public yet, which means that the reason may not have been found yet, and announcing it too early might cause panic.
At present, it has only affected part of life, but according to the style of the Knights Templar to take care of both big and small matters, it is estimated that the members must be very busy.
At this time, a bard wearing a green cloak came in, "Everyone, does anyone want to hear a poem?"
"I heard that bards are Mondstadt's specialty. How about we listen to one?" Heidi recognized Wendy and was in high spirits.
The young master looked back and smiled faintly, "Okay."
Heidi waved to Wendy enthusiastically, "Sit down. What would you like to drink? How about cider?"
"Oh, this lady is really special. She hit the nail on the head right away." Wendy sat down with the harp in her arms. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Wendy."
After some pleasantries, Wendy took a few sips of cider and said, "This taste still gives me inspiration."
After saying that, he stood up and leaned against the pillar, "Next, I will sing you a poem that just flashed through my mind."
[The castle of freedom, its reflection looming in the water.
The edge of the thorns was hidden by a gentle halo.
Under the cover of night, the reflections move quietly.
The magic of fairy tales flows slowly in the water.
……
Deep in that reflection, there is the brightest star.
Illuminating this land, the endless light of hope. 】
The young man gently shook the wine glass in his hand, savoring every word.
Heidi listened attentively, but her mind was full of question marks and she felt like she didn't understand.
No wonder essays are told that there is no limit to the style of writing, except poetry.
After singing, Wendy drank the remaining cider and said with a smile, "Thank you both for your hospitality. Now that we have finished our drinks, it's time to go out and bask in the sun and take a short rest. See you later."
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" The young man held his face with his hands and looked at her.
"I don't understand...are you so stupid?" Heidi whispered.
"Haha, maybe the aroma of the wine is affecting the speed of your little brain. Let's go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air, then maybe you'll understand."
"That's a very reasonable reason. Guide, where is the next stop?"
"Well, let's go for a walk by the lake. After all, it's the source of dandelion wine. The lake is beautiful and perfect for a walk."
The two men came out of the tavern and went out from the side gate. The lake was sparkling under the sunlight, which was very beautiful.
The young man looked at the water quality and observed the condition of the surrounding plants, but there was nothing special.
"Dandelions." Heidi ran to the bushes, carefully picked one, and brought it to the young master. "I'll blow the first one for you."
"That's great." The young man blew a breath, and the dandelion seeds swayed and scattered like small umbrellas.
"It's beautiful and fun, just like blowing bubbles." Heidi picked and blew bubbles along the way.
The wind suddenly blew in the opposite direction, and the seeds flew backwards, hitting my face, and many of them got caught in my hair.
"Haha, you look like you just robbed a bird's nest from a tree."
Heidi turned around, snorted, and rubbed his head with a dandelion, getting his head full of seeds. "Hey, let's dig out the bird's nest together."
"You guy." The young man smiled and shook his head, brushing his hair with his hand. Suddenly he saw a man fishing in the distance, "Hey, look at the movements of that little boy, did he catch a big fish?"
Heidi looked in the direction where Bennett was, pulling hard on a fishing rod, half of him was in the water.
"Oh, it feels like he's about to be pulled away by the fish. Wow, this fish must be big. Let's go check it out!"
The two men stepped forward and helped pull the fishing rod together, "We'll help you."
"Oh, thank you...thank you...you guys." Bennett gritted his teeth and pulled hard.
The three of them used all their strength to pull the thing up, which was a lump of iron.
"Oh, it's not a fish after all." Bennett looked at the lump of iron, feeling a little discouraged, and threw it into the wooden barrel beside him, which already had more than a dozen lumps of iron in it.
The young master glanced at the barrel and frowned slightly. This guy's luck is too bad. He patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. Fishing is about the process. If it doesn't work here, try another place."
"To be honest, I've changed three places." Bennett scratched his head embarrassedly, "But thank you for your comfort. My name is Bennett, nice to meet you."
"Bennett... sounds like a familiar name." The young master smiled and pulled Heidi to his side. "My name is Tartaglia, you can also call me Young Master, and her name is Heidi. Let's come to Mondstadt to travel."
"Hello Bennett, this is my first time in Mondstadt. I'd like to eat some oranges." Heidi handed it over. "By the way, why do you keep fishing so persistently?"
"Recently, the Adventurer's Association has received many commissions from residents, and everyone is very busy. I also received one from a farmer in Qingquan Town who was busy with his family's fields and commissioned me to catch 10 fish."
"I thought fishing wouldn't be hard, so I took my fishing rod to the lake. But after working for half a day, I didn't catch a single fish." Bennett sighed and stuffed an orange slice into his mouth. "My luck is so bad."
The young man picked up the iron lump in the barrel and took a closer look. This material was used to make the movement of the relic guard.
Because Tok likes it, he can recognize the ruins guard even if it turns into ashes.
How did it appear in the lake?
He threw the iron lump back into the barrel and said, "I am very experienced in fishing. There are too many iron lumps near the lake, which affect the water quality. If you want to try fishing, you have to go to a deeper water. There is an island in the middle of the lake. Let's go there and try."
I just happened to be fishing while checking out the situation in the lake.
"Okay, with you here, I feel this commission can be completed today." Bennett regained his confidence.
Arriving at the island in the middle of the lake, Bennett swung again.
Heidi looked around the island and said, "Look, the lake water is so clear, and the reflection of Mondstadt is so clear. It's really beautiful."
"Reflection..." The young man looked at the calm lake and thought carefully about Wendy's poem.
"Something's taken the bait," Bennett shouted excitedly. "It's definitely a fish this time."
"What is this?" Heidi came over and looked at what Bennett was holding. It was a round red bump with two ear-like decorations. "This thing is pretty cute."
"I don't know. It's quite heavy." Bennett was curious but frustrated. It wasn't a fish, so he shook it and listened to the sounds inside.
The young master came over and asked, "What's in this lake?"
Suddenly, a piece of my ear fell off, followed by a rapid beeping sound.
"Hmm? Throw it away quickly..." The young master hadn't finished his words.
It exploded with a bang.
Three black faces, looking at me and I looking at you.
It turned out to be a bomb...
Who put a bomb in the lake?
At this time, by the lake in Whispering Forest, a little fellow was grunting and making bombs. When he heard the noise, his eyes lit up, "It must be a big fish! Dudu, let's go catch some fish."
