Chapter 367: It makes sense that there are 3 of the 4 major knight families, right?
But since the eldest lady of Holy Lemuria is here to travel... does this mean some special information?
Could it be that Funina came to this country because the Supreme Lord of the Seas was conveying something to the Kingdom of the Fierce Wind?
At this moment, the clever Qin began to use her clever little brain to think about the real meaning of Furninna coming to the Kingdom of the Fierce Wind.
Thinking of this, Qin decided in her heart to stay with Funina as much as possible for the next period of time, and to try to figure out the hints from the Supreme Lord of the Seas from Funina's performance.
So she said to Funina:
"Funina, are you here to attend Mondstadt's annual Wind God Celebration?"
"Yes~" Finina nodded gently, "In order to understand the meaning of travel, I came all the way from Holy Lemuria to the Northern Territory, just to restart the past experiences of my father and mother."
“In the past, they also left traces on this land, and I will chase these traces to understand the meaning of travel.”
"Is that so..." Qin muttered to herself, making some decisions in her mind.
Restarting past travels means traveling all over the continent of Teyvat.
As a noble lady of the Gunhild family and the leader of the Knights of Favonius, she cannot do anything capricious.
Especially my three good friends are very irresponsible...
Falga always uses various excuses to slack off, Charles only knows how to fish, and Huabedo only has alchemy in his mind.
The pressure brought by the three teammates was so great that Jyn was worried about what the consequences would be if she accompanied Furninna on a trip to Teyvat.
So under normal circumstances, she would never be able to leave Mondstadt unless someone was willing to take on those complicated tasks for her.
Thinking of Falga, Ciel, and Huabedo...
Qin felt a little dejected and gave up the idea in her mind.
"What's wrong with you, Qin?" Seeing Qin suddenly fall silent, Fu Nina asked with a little curiosity.
"No... nothing..." Qin shook her head, not intending to share her worries.
After all, even if she shared it, there was no way for everyone to solve it.
Unless someone can force his three irresponsible teammates to work honestly.
"Okay..." Furninna understood Qin's thoughts and didn't continue to ask questions.
At this moment, Paimeng, who was feeling very uncomfortable, saw that the atmosphere had become so quiet, so he took the opportunity to speak to show his presence.
"By the way, what is the process of the Wind God Festival like?"
"Wind God Celebration..." Qin fell into a brief trance when she heard this. After a few breaths, she came back to her senses and began to slowly reveal specific information about the Wind God Celebration.
"The Wind God Festival celebrates the birth and coming of the wind god Diocletian."
"During that time period, various activities will be carried out... Of course, these activities will only be carried out after the Wind God Ceremony."
"Wind God Ceremony?" Paimeng was a little confused.
"Yes, the Wind God Ceremony." Qin nodded slightly. "As everyone knows, there are three major knight families in Mondstadt, namely the Lawrence family, the Gunhild family, and the Ragenfind family."
"In fact, in addition to these three major families, there is a fourth family hidden in the dark."
It makes sense that there are four of the three major knight families, right?
Just like there must be a fifth king among the Four Heavenly Kings!
This is a very reasonable thing!
"What family?" Funina asked with interest.
"The Katzlein family!" Qin slowly said the name of the family.
"Katesline..." Kong and Ying murmured the name, feeling extremely unfamiliar.
Because when Wendy and the tavern extras were questioned before, no relevant information about this family was introduced.
“Hehe…” Seeing everyone’s confused looks, Qin chuckled and said, “Do you remember the leader of the East Wind Knights, Charles, whom I mentioned?”
"Could it be..." Ying understood quickly, so she immediately said: "That Captain Charles is from the Ketzlein family?"
"That's right." Qin nodded and said, "The Katzlein family has a special bloodline. Every member of the family has... um..."
There was a slightly odd look on her face.
"They all have a pair of cute cat ears and a cat tail."
"So this fourth big family hidden in the dark is also called the 'Cats of the Dark Night'!"
After hearing this, everyone present was silent, except for Eula who already knew this information.
Charles Katzlein, a cat-eared boy who likes to wear a straw hat to cover his cat ears, loves to eat fish the most.
So he spends most of his time fishing in coastal areas or lakes and rivers.
According to Charles Katzlein:
Only by the fish he catches can he prove his ability!
But for some reason, this poor cat-eared boy can catch everything except fish.
So according to his own statement, he has no ability at all!
"Cat of the Dark Night..." Kong scratched his head in confusion. He didn't know why, but he always felt something was weird.
"Cat ears..." As if she had thought of something, a look of interest appeared on Ying's face.
To be honest, she wanted to pet the cat.
Humans with cat ears... She and Sora had seen them in their past travels to other worlds. In those worlds, these life forms were collectively called "Orcs."
They are humans with animalistic features.
Some other worlds call these people "sub-humans".
"Each Wind God Ceremony will be performed by one of the four major families."
Qin did not stop describing the "Wind God Ceremony".
"And this year's Wind God Ceremony happened to be led by the Katzlein family."
"Does this mean that we will have a chance to meet Captain Charles?" Paimon asked, raising his hand.
"...In theory, that's the case." Qin nodded hesitantly.
Because in her memory, Captain Charles had not participated in even one Wind God Celebration in the past three years.
So she wasn't sure whether Charles would come to Mondstadt to take the lead.
At this moment, Funina seemed to have discovered some interesting information.
"The Knights of the Four Winds... the four great nobles..."
Thinking of this, she looked at Qin.
"Qin, may I ask why the leader of the Knights of the Four Winds is not a member of one of the four great families?"
"You are a noble lady from the Gunhild family, and Charles is from the Ketzlein family. Then what about Farga, the leader of the Knights of the North Wind, and Huabedo, the leader of the Knights of the South Wind?"
"Are they related by blood to the four great nobles?"
……
(The internet is down, I will make up for it later)
(The following is supplementary content)
……
"They..." Qin thought for a moment and shook her head gently, "Whether it's Falga or Huabedo, they are not from the four great noble families."
"If you want to become the leader of the Knights of the North Wind, you must be recognized by the North Wind and obtain part of the North Wind's power."
"And the only known way to gain recognition from the North Wind is the Trial of the Wolf, which is the Trial of the King of the North Wind."
When talking about the Trial of the North Wind, Paimon and the siblings Kongying subconsciously looked at Eula.
If they remembered correctly, that was where they were...
"Don't look at me like that." Eula shrugged, "I didn't pass the trial of the King of the North Wind."
Ok, almost forgot...
Kong and Ying felt a little regretful.
"The Wind God Ceremony will be led by a ritual dance, dancing towards the world, towards the Wind God."
The sound of the piano did not stop.
"Each of the four noble families has a different ritual dance. Among them, the ritual dance of the Lawrence family is the most beautiful and flawless, and is deeply favored by the God of Wind."
"And Eula's full name is Eula Lawrence!"
"Wow!" Paimon exclaimed, looking at Eula with burning eyes, "Eula, if that's the case, you must be very good at the ritual dance, right?"
"...I guess so." As if she remembered something, Eula's expression was a little complicated, but she was honest and did not lie about this.
"Then..." Paimon's eyes were sparkling... Although the color was a little wrong, they were indeed sparkling.
"No!" Eula refused firmly.
"Ah? Why..." Paimon felt a little sorry, so he asked.
"The ritual dance is a dance dedicated to the gods." Eula said seriously, "It has a very important meaning to us."
"...I understand." Paimon saw Eula's serious expression and for some reason he felt a little panicked and nodded quickly.
To be honest, when Paimon saw Eula's expression, he was worried that the other party would suddenly rush over, grab her, and beat her up.
“Haha…” Qin on the side saw this and chuckled, saying, “Eula’s dance is indeed very beautiful, but it’s a pity that if you want to see it with your own eyes, you can only wait until next year.”
Listening to Qin's words, everyone's eyes unconsciously showed a hint of anticipation.
"What happens next?" Furninna asked, "What will the leader do after he finishes the ritual dance?"
"Debriefing and...praying!" Qin began to explain.
"The so-called job report is to state one's work for the past year."
"Although the gods have a system of earth veins that monitor the world and help them monitor the rulers, due to some special reasons, they cannot fully see all the events that happen in the world."
"There are always some places that the gods cannot see..."
"Ah~" Paimon exclaimed softly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Qin.
Check it out!
What are you talking about?
If the gods heard such offensive words, would they be in big trouble?
"You don't have to worry." As if she understood Paimon's thoughts, Qin smiled and said, "Lord Decarapian is a very gentle god."
"He won't get mad over little things like these."
"Oh, right!" Qin stood up suddenly, as if she remembered something. "The Wind God Festival will begin the day after tomorrow."
"According to the letter Charles left behind, he is probably currently at Cider Lake, perhaps fishing there again."
"If possible, could you please help us find Ciel?"
Qin pursed her lips slightly and said with a hint of apology:
"I'm sorry to trouble you all so much. If you can help me with this, I'm willing to pay you a satisfactory reward."
"Um... this..." Paimeng knew that he couldn't agree to such things casually, so he looked at other people.
"I think... it's okay. It's not a big deal anyway." Kong thought about it and nodded slightly.
For him, although he felt a little uncomfortable being asked to help as soon as he arrived in this country, the other party was willing to pay enough, and depending on the situation, he could refuse.
Since he had borrowed a gold coin from Funina before, he was now short of money to repay the corresponding debt.
Helping Jean, the leader of the Knights of Favonius, to find another leader would not only win Jean's favor, but also earn him corresponding rewards, and could also indirectly help him repay Funina's debt.
This time, we can say we won the game.
Glancing at Kong, Ying probably guessed what Kong was thinking, so she also expressed her opinion.
"I think so too. It's a good opportunity to meet the leader of the Knights of the East Wind."
After Ying said this, she turned her gaze towards Wendy.
Wendy hasn't said a word since Qin showed up. I don't know...
"Forehead……"
Ying looked closely and found that Wendy had sneaked to the front of a round table. There seemed to be a strange thing on it...
"Is that...drinks?"
Seeing the drooling expression on Wendy's face, Ying guessed uncertainly.
"Wendy, what are you doing?" The sharp-eyed Paimon also noticed Wendy's actions, so she immediately flew to Wendy's side, grabbed Wendy's braids, and whispered:
"It's wrong for you to do this!"
"This is the Knights' property, we can't just take it!"
Hearing Paimon's words, Wendy looked at the wine that was so close to her with a little regret, and an embarrassed smile appeared on her face.
"I just smelled a wonderful aroma of wine, so I couldn't help but come here..."
"Hey!"
Having said this, he obediently returned to his seat.
"So Wendy, what's your opinion?" Ying asked after seeing Wendy return to her seat.
"My opinion?" Wendy blinked, looking a little confused. "Should I... say something?"
He didn't hear the follow-up content of the conversation just now, so at this moment he could be said to know nothing.
