Chapter 521 Today's Knights
While waiting for the arrival of Mond's top management, Qin Jian informed Nan Dou of Mond's current situation.
The development strategy that Nan Dou helped to formulate with the help of the Knights before he left has been put into practice and modified during the development of Mond, and is now fully mature.
Mondstadt vigorously developed agriculture and, with the help of the expanded Knights Templar, controlled many wild areas and basically achieved self-sufficiency.
After a series of business-friendly policies were promulgated, more and more merchants emerged, and the volume of Mond's foreign trade increased dramatically. The resulting increase in tax revenue also gave the Knights' finances greater confidence.
Through this, the Knights Templar vigorously develop people's livelihood, reduce taxes for ordinary people, strengthen infrastructure, improve people's happiness, and strengthen the leadership of the Knights Templar.
In short, Mondstadt as a whole has become stable. In addition, the Winter Forces have gradually withdrawn from Mondstadt after completing their goal. Internal risks have completely disappeared, and external threats have also disappeared after the Wind Dragon incident.
During the years when Nandou was away from Mondstadt, Grand Commander Falga led the expedition back to Mondstadt. He was shocked by the prosperous scene of Mondstadt and passed the position of Grand Commander to Qin.
No one in Mondstadt objected to this point. Everyone had seen Jyn's hard work over the years and the booming development of Mondstadt.
"Alas, all the hardship and fatigue were borne by you, Nandou, while all the fame and wealth were enjoyed by Qin..."
Qin lowered her head with some guilt. After so many years, she still felt guilty for not being able to help much during the evil dragon attack.
Nan Dou knew that this was Qin's heart knot. He walked to her side and held out two fingers as he did when he taught her when they were children.
"Snapped!"
He tapped Qin's head gently without using much force, which made Qin look up in confusion. After all, Nan Dou's previous taps were very painful.
Seeing Qin's puzzled expression, Nandou said cheerfully: "You are now the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, admired by thousands of people. You are no longer the child you used to be. How do you still want me to teach you a lesson?"
"Even if I am the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, you are still my teacher. From combat skills to how to behave in society and the way of thinking, you are the one who taught me everything. I..."
Nandou sighed and said in a very deep voice: "There is an old saying in Liyue, once a teacher, always a father. Since you care so much, then call me dad."
"I...uh..." Qin's little face, which had hardly changed, turned red because of Nan Dou's words.
She could still call him teacher, but the word "daddy" was a little hard for her to accept because she was a serious person.
Seeing Qin's embarrassed look, Nan Dou smiled as if he had succeeded in playing a prank.
"Captain, we are friends. I will naturally help my friends when they are in trouble. You also know that I am actually the reincarnation of Yasha from Liyue. When I was born, Mondstadt had not yet been established."
Even though Nan Dou said this, Ke Qin still couldn't treat Nan Dou, who was playing bad jokes on her, as an antique that was thousands of years old.
The time that belonged to the two of them alone did not last long, as Mond's top leaders arrived one after another.
Scout Knight Amber is no longer the only scout knight. During the expansion of the Mond Knights, many outstanding knights were arranged to study under Amber in order to meet the needs of developing the wild. Every scout knight who successfully graduated is the elite among the elite. Today, Amber is the captain of a scout knight brigade of over 100 people, fulfilling her grandfather's wish to revitalize the scout knight team.
Lisa Mintz, a talented witch who once studied at the Sumeru Order and the librarian of the Knights Templar, opened the Mond School of Magic at the instruction of Jean to meet the development needs of the Knights Templar. She served as the principal and recruited knights and civilians with magical talents for training. Today, Mond has a large number of potion factories and has formed mage groups of different knights. However, Lisa's dark circles under her eyes seem to have become heavier.
Simon Page, the bishop of the Church of Favonius, which is affiliated with the Knights of the West Wind, "Cardinal of the Dawn", and Jyn's father; Frederica Gunnhild, "Alder Knight", and Jyn's mother.
Once upon a time, Jean and Barbara's parents parted ways because of differences in their ideals. After seeing the changes in Mondstadt and Jean's unremitting efforts, the two reconciled, and Jean and Barbara could finally call each other sisters openly.
Kaia, the captain of the cavalry, was once the deputy of the acting commander Qin, and has now been officially promoted to the deputy commander of the Knights Templar.
Albedo, captain of the investigation team and chief alchemist of the Knights, is the dean of studies at the magic academy, in charge of alchemy courses.
Eula Lawrence, captain of the guerrilla team, has the title of "Knight of Waves" and is the disciple of Amber's grandfather. With powerful military force and the full support of Jean, she is now the leader of the old nobles of Mondstadt and gradually integrates into the ordinary residents of Mondstadt.
"Spark Knight", Klee, has not changed much in her mind and appearance after several years of growth, but because of the fear of the "evil" Falga, the crime rate has dropped sharply. Relatively speaking, the hillbillies in the wild have gained a living father.
Noelle, a maid and trainee knight of the Knights of Favonius, was recommended by Nandou and trained by Jean. Through the records left by the former Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, "Lion of Light of Favonius" Alendrin, she almost reproduced his greatsword fighting skills that were cut off due to his high requirements for strength. Now that she has become an adult, her strength has grown rapidly. Because her fighting style is indestructible and can sweep away everything, she is called the "Gundam Knight" (given by Nandou). However, even so, Noelle still calls herself a maid of the Knights of Favonius in her daily state. It is said that some people call her the "Rose Knight".
Falga, the "Knight of the North Wind", is the former Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. He currently serves as the Chief Captain of the Knights of Favonius. Under the instruction of Jyn, he commands all the knights. He is very powerful and is worshipped by all the knights.
Barbara Page, a prayer priest of the West Wind Church, which is affiliated with the Knights, has become a star throughout the continent with her beautiful singing voice that can heal the body and mind (a star-making plan proposed by Nan Dou).
Rosalia, once a nun of the Church of Favonius, which was affiliated with the Knights of Favonius, was rescued from a gang of thieves by Falga when she was a child. She is currently the Chief Inquisition of the Church of Favonius.
And some new knights that Nandou was not very familiar with.
The meeting would naturally not be held in Qin's small office, but in the newly built spacious conference room.
In the conference room, Qin sat in the main seat and Nan Dou sat next to her. Nan Dou had to give her this face.
As for Nandou's identity, there is no need for much introduction. After Mondstadt was completely stabilized, Jean and Diluk, who had returned from his travels, revealed the truth about the evil dragon's attack, and Nandou was posthumously awarded the title of "Dragon Slayer".
"Why don't I see that Diluk guy?"
Just as the meeting was about to begin, Nan Dou still hadn't found Diluk, and couldn't help but ask Qin beside him.
"Senior Diluk went abroad for business some time ago and will be back in a few days."
Qin explained quietly.
"Well, let's have the meeting first, and then scare him when he comes back!"
Amid Nan Dou's evil smile, a meeting that would change Mond's future began.
