Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 355 The Princess of the Pure Land of Youye

The clerk, clutching her folder which was noticeably thinner than in previous years, hurriedly left the training ground.

She could already imagine the scene of each knight squad using every means possible to compete for the few available spots.

Oh, Lord Barbatos, could you please give her a cup of Afternoon Death so she can fall into a deep sleep and stay asleep until this time next year?

As for the mastermind behind all this, Grand Master Falga, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Those who failed to be selected gathered together and sighed in despair, while the successful candidates finally relaxed.

Compared to previous years, the elimination rate for this year's Knights Order assessment was astonishingly high, almost double that of previous years.

Even the newly minted knights who managed to get through were still shaken, except for the last two contestants who made their appearance.

"Hey, wanna come over to Dawn Winery? The grapes are freshly picked and haven't been put into oak barrels yet, they taste pretty good."

Diluc patted Mu Feng on the shoulder. Unlike the others, he was clearly not surprised by the assessment results.

We've known each other for almost two years. In terms of swordsmanship, I can't say I've never won a single match, but I can only say that I've lost from the Dawn Winery to Jingfu Port.

Perhaps for this reason, Mr. Kaia, who was in charge of sparring during that period, did not seem to have an easy time.

"No, not today. I have other plans this afternoon."

Mu Feng shook his head, returned the one-handed sword, which had been chipped in the battle, to its sheath, and sighed helplessly.

The weapon scrap rate is indeed a bit high; it seems I'll have to find time to visit Wagner's blacksmith shop again in the next few days.

If Uncle Wagner ever manages to build a villa or something in Mondstadt, he will certainly deserve some credit.

By the way, the other one is for Noelle.

Diluc gave a meaningful look. "Don't ask. It would be impolite to ask which girl I'm going to see this time."

In terms of maintaining exceptionally good relationships with many girls at the same time, he only admired Mufeng Gunnhild.

It was only because Mu Feng couldn't hear Diluc's thoughts at that moment that a playoff match would likely have broken out immediately.

The chimes of the clock came from the direction of the Wind God Statue Square, and regardless of the results of the assessment, the crowd began to gradually disperse.

There's no problem that a glass of cider or dandelion liqueur can't solve; if there is, then have another one.

Diluc, leading Kaeya who disliked noisy environments, parted the crowded people and headed towards the outside of the Knights Order.

Along the way, the crowds passing by couldn't help but cast glances at them, automatically parting to make way for them.

The two youngest knights in the history of the Knights will be a popular topic of conversation in taverns for a long time.

After leaving the Knights Order, Mu Feng and Diluc parted ways in the Wind God Plaza. The two returned to the Dawn Winery, while Mu Feng circled back to the plaza and headed to the library on the basement floor of the Knights Order.

This is the repository for all of Mondstadt's books, including many rare and unique copies, lying quietly in a corner unknown to most.

Rumors circulated in the taverns that beneath the Knights' library lay a mysterious and unpredictable alternate dimension.

According to unreliable information, an unknown customer at the Angel Tavern revealed a secret about another dimension after drinking.

The room descends like an elevator, with a rag doll wolf dressed as a concierge, an easel, and a magnificent stage.

Until... he was woken up by the librarian at the time.

Of course, no one believed his story, and after a burst of laughter, the matter was dropped.

As for that mysterious alternate dimension... who knows?

The heavy door was pushed open, and a blast of cold air rushed out. The dry, cool environment created by the marble was perfect for storing books.

Walking down the wooden steps, rows of mahogany bookshelves are displayed on the reflective stone surface, dotted with a few tables and chairs for resting. The simple furnishings exude a sense of historical weight.

You can find all sorts of books on the bookshelf, even things like "Selected Poems of the Hilichurls".

Mu Feng often wondered who was reading these kinds of books and who had included them in the book.

However, such propositions seem to be impossible to disprove, since you can't take a selection of poems outside the city, read it to a Hilichurl, and then ask him if it actually meant that.

Uh... he remembered there was a line of small print at the back of the book, probably some kind of annotation left by a previous reader.

"If you do try to do this, remember to bring scallions, ginger, and garlic with you when you go out; it will make things easier for everyone."

Oh, and there's a second annotation at the end, something like it's a lie that onions, ginger, and garlic can't repel Hilichurls at all.

Amen, forgive me, forgive me, may the wind god deceive you.

Mu Feng forced himself to put the matter of the Qiuqiuren poetry anthology out of his mind and skillfully navigated around the layers of bookshelves to a corner.

It was midday, and the library was deserted. However, soon some people would probably come to take a nap.

Despite the librarians' best efforts to prohibit such behavior, the practice of taking a nap at the library persists despite repeated bans.

Besides the comfortable environment in winter and summer, falling asleep with a thick, good book under your pillow might allow knowledge to enter your brain in a wonderful way, as an alchemist once said.

Knowledge always flows from high concentrations to low concentrations; at least, the alchemist spoke with conviction when he said this.

Of course, this did not prevent him from ultimately failing the course.

However, Mu Feng wasn't here for a nap today. He skillfully navigated around several tall bookshelves, passed through the counter displaying vases, and finally found his target in a corner.

The innermost corner of the library is usually a place where visitors would almost never risk getting hit on the head by a book.

However, contrary to expectations, the place was not covered in dust and cobwebs; instead, it was covered with a comfortable purple cushion.

With a few neatly stacked copies of "Fishel's Tales" and a cold drink with water droplets still clinging to its exterior, it could be considered a pretty good little secret hideout.

At this moment, a blonde girl is lounging lazily on a cushion, engrossed in a novel.

The girl looked younger than Mu Feng. Her bright green eyes followed the text intently, and she kept muttering some words that sounded a bit awkward and difficult to understand.

For example, the princess of the Pure Land of the Dark Night, the usurper who came from beyond the heavens, and the contract of loyalty and servants will eventually be fulfilled.

Clearly, she hadn't noticed the visiting guests yet.

It wasn't until an egg and ham sandwich was placed in front of her that the girl snapped out of her reverie and looked up from her book.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness. Your servants, who have sensed your summons from beyond the world, have come in response."
