Jiang Xiaofeng returned to the Knights of Favonius' headquarters with a distraught Qin.
At this time, the Knights of Favonius was full of former holders of the Vision, and now holders of the Void Eye, or rather, Void Familiars.
After all, if Jiang Xiaofeng wanted, he could envelop everyone present in the Void at any time, turning them into shadow creatures...
"Keep an eye on your Acting Grand Master Jean, don't let him do anything foolish."
Jiang Xiaofeng left the zither beside everyone and walked away.
Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at Diluc's position.
Diluc is currently sitting in the Gunnhildr Clan mansion, slowly sipping a cup of tea.
Jiang Xiaofeng appeared.
Diluc stood up, bowed, and greeted them.
"Your Excellency, the new King of Mondstadt, Diluc Ragnvindr greets you."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand. "Stop with this nonsense. What does the Gunnhildr Clan mean? Submission or resistance to the end?"
Diluc said, "Their intention is indeed to submit, but..."
Diluc carefully chose his words before saying, "They want to speak with you in person..."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the large group of people who walked out from the side, and then at the glamorous woman who was clearly in the lead. "..."
The woman bowed slightly. " Frederica Gunnhildr greets you, the new king of Mondstadt."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand, and four Royal Guard appeared in the hall, standing silently to the side.
"State your purpose."
"If you have enough chips, I can forgive your rudeness this time."
Jiang Xiaofeng said in a deep voice.
Frederica's expression remained unchanged, her face still bearing that formulaic smile.
" The Gunnhildr Clan is willing to submit to this new king."
"But we have one condition."
Jiang Xiaofeng's expression remained unchanged, and he slightly raised his hand.
Two Royal Guard stepped forward and immediately lifted the woman up.
"You seem to be the weaker party right now."
"Who gave you the courage to negotiate with me?"
Jiang Xiaofeng stood up, walked to Frederica, and said with great interest.
The woman finally panicked a little. "I believe you, Your Majesty, won't refuse our request!"
Please let me finish!
Jiang Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes, stopping another Royal Guard from raising his gun to stab him.
"Explain."
Frederica caught her breath and spoke.
"I wish, Your Majesty, that you would marry my daughter..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand with a dark expression.
"Lock them in their family's prison."
Don't you like giving gifts?
"Perfect, I'll deliver them all at once!"
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Diluc: "Is there a way to take over the Gunnhildr Clan's assets?"
Diluc nodded, then shook his head. "Yes, but the risk is too high and the reward is not."
Jiang Xiaofeng clicked his tongue. "Have you ever seen them send their daughter away like this?"
Diluc remained silent and shook his head.
Jiang Xiaofeng pondered repeatedly, trying to figure out exactly what he had done that made them think he liked the piano...
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiaofeng decided to stop thinking about it.
Let Qin handle these family matters.
Thinking it over, Jiang Xiaofeng reached out and transferred the zither over.
"Your family matters are your own responsibility."
Jiang Xiaofeng said something to Qin, then picked up the teacup on the table and took two sips.
"Hmm... tea is better for cutting through the richness."
Jiang Xiaofeng watched as Jean walked into the family dungeon and asked Diluc, "What kind of person is Jean?"
Diluc thought for a moment, "Although he's a bit rigid at work, overall it's not bad. What's wrong?"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
That's not something you should say, Diluc.
Although Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to complain, he kept quiet.
Who knows what Diluc is thinking?
Jiang Xiaofeng patted the sofa next to him. "Sit down and talk."
Diluc walked over and sat down.
Jiang Xiaofeng straightened up. "Tell me, Diluc, do you hate me for what I did in Mondstadt?"
Diluc sighed and looked at Jiang Xiaofeng: "If I really hated you, I would have fought you to the death long ago."
"But what you've done, while seemingly establishing a hegemonic rule over Mondstadt, is actually awakening the people of Mondstadt completely, isn't it?"
Jiang Xiaofeng: How come I didn't know I was so amazing?
Diluc continued, "Without your intervention in Mondstadt City, Mondstadt would only be more chaotic than before."
"When the Fatui invade again, they will be powerless to fight back."
"Your actions have merely given ordinary people the ability to protect themselves."
Diluc held up the Void Eye and said, "Your power is no less than that of the Anemo Archon."
"That drunken poet must have his own reasons for handing Mondstadt over to you..."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
No, no, no, I really didn't think that much about it.
Would you believe me if I said my initial intention was simply to give my family members a legal status to travel on the Teyvat?
but...
Seeing the respect in Diluc's eyes, Jiang Xiaofeng decided to remain silent.
If Diluc hadn't said anything, Jiang Xiaofeng wouldn't have realized how awesome he was.
He did all this to prevent Mondstadt, which he controlled, from being infiltrated by people from other countries.
Jiang Xiaofeng stood up.
"Alright, I've basically finished what I needed to do."
"I'll go see what those former holders of the Vision think..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng disappeared.
Diluc shook his head. "They always appear and disappear so mysteriously..."
Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at the Knights of Favonius.
Qin had already done the ideological work with most people, except for a very few.
Noelle, Amber, and Fischl.
Two of the three were members of the Knights of Favonius, and the other appeared to be from another world.
Noelle seemed to have lost all faith at that moment.
"How is this possible? The Knights of Favonius have all been defeated..."
Amber's problem isn't that big.
Jiang Xiaofeng whispered a few words to Amber, and Amber became optimistic again.
In reality, Jiang Xiaofeng only told Amber about his grandfather's whereabouts.
Oh, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't know whether Amber's grandfather was still alive or not.
I'll find a chance to go and take a look at Qingce Village...
The most difficult one to deal with is Fischl.
Jiang Xiaofeng knew absolutely nothing about this girl.
Where did she come from, and where is the Immernachtreich?
He corrupted Fischl's Vision, but it seems he accidentally swallowed Oars as well.
Jiang Xiaofeng shook Fischl, whose eyes were lifeless, then removed Fischl's Void Eye and rewound time to the state of the Vision before the corruption.
Oars flew out of the Vision with a "thud!"
"Miss! Miss! I..."
Oars looked at the large group of people in front of him, then at Jiang Xiaofeng, and quickly flew to Fischl's side.
"Miss! Miss! How are you?!"
Fischl's eyes gradually focused.
" Oars, I... I..."
" The Immernachtreich, I can never go back!"
Fischl hugged Oars and burst into tears.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the Thunder Vision in his hand.
It seems that Little Amy's Vision isn't so easily corrupted...
But what does it have to do with me?
Jiang Xiaofeng placed his hand on Fischl's head and, with a slight exertion, sent his body into Little Amy's dream.
"The so-called Immernachtreich is just Little Amy's dream..."
Jiang Xiaofeng placed his hands on the ground of the Immernachtreich, and the Void Power began to seize control of Fischl.
Jiang Xiaofeng gave up halfway through.
Jiang Xiaofeng realized that he might not have enough energy to manage both Mondstadt City and the Immernachtreich.
then...
Jiang Xiaofeng left Fischl's dream and directly retraced Fischl's entire journey back in time.
Soon, Fischl and Oars were both restored to the state they were in before the corruption...
