Chapter 345 Mondstadt
Chapter 345 Mondstadt
Meanwhile, Mu Feng, standing by the Fruit Wine Lake, felt a chill inexplicably as the water-laden breeze blew by.
The journey was smooth sailing. There were no supernatural events like being trapped in a maze at Wuwang Slope, nor any unexpected encounters with a wandering poet and his dragon along the way.
Although some of the robbery gangs that tried to rob the road went from being unhappy to being completely clueless, compared to the precarious journey from Fontainebleau to Mount Sumeru, it all felt a bit too smooth.
Mu Feng coughed lightly twice. You can't blame him for being paranoid; you have to blame his own unscrupulous system.
Other people's systems are shortcuts to a better life; but the one I came from is a deadly path to a better life.
The main feature is a 50-pound rebellious program running in a 100-pound circuit, plus an additional 50 pounds of cunning.
Putting aside the matter of embezzling Mora, he only mentioned that he was holding this piece of jade of unknown origin, fearing that he might be walking down the street when some simulated girl would put a sack over his head.
The system wouldn't have it. Hey, what embezzlement? She embezzled through her own abilities. It's the system's business. How can that be called embezzlement?
If she weren't busy drinking the new engine oil that Mora had just ordered from Dingling Kuanglang Egg Roll Workshop using someone else's purchase of the anchor point, she would definitely have corrected her host's erroneous views.
Of course, the man was unaware that the cold Mora in his bag a few minutes ago had now transformed into warm engine oil in the system's hand and a warm, fluffy omelet on Aino's plate.
As for Ineff's later inadvertent revelation of this secret sales channel, that's another story.
After enjoying the cool breeze of Guojiu Lake for a while, Mu Feng decided, after much deliberation, to first enter the city and find a place to stay.
Judging from the collapsed windmills and roofless tiled houses in the distance, the dragon plague in Mondstadt seems to be far from over.
As for Yingmei, she's most likely still fishing for Pain at Eagle Beach. Instead of aimlessly searching for them, it's better to stay in Mondstadt for a while and familiarize yourself with the environment.
Having made up his mind, Mu Feng walked onto the stone bridge in front of the Mondstadt city gates, while also replenishing his dwindling food supplies.
No seasoned traveler can resist a sweet, flower-stuffed chicken, especially the delicacy from Mondbridge.
To this day, he still can't forget the days when he stood in front of Mondstadt's gates and used Farusian's wind pressure to persecute Timmy; it was a beautiful yet slightly regrettable time.

Reflecting on his past glories, Mu Feng took out the identification issued by the Sumeru Adventurers' Association and handed it to Swan and Lawrence, the two Favonius Knights standing guard at the gates of Mondstadt.
Due to the Dragon Plague, and with Grand Master Falgar leading the elite Knights of Favonius on a distant expedition, Mondstadt's defenses were far weaker than ever before, so martial law was imposed considerably.
"Thank you for your cooperation. May the wind god protect you."
Swann, sitting to the left, checked identities. After confirming that everything was correct, the knight gave a standard salute, signaling that he could pass.
Lawrence, on the other side, remained calm and businesslike, but just as they passed each other, Mu Feng keenly noticed that he glanced in his direction.
When he looked back, Lawrence had returned to his normal standing posture, looking straight ahead without blinking.
Mu Feng suddenly felt suspicious. Something was wrong; this was very unusual.
Although Lawrence concealed it well, he was certain that that glance just now was not unintentional.
Mondstadt sees a lot of people every day, and a stranger shouldn't have any undue interest in you.
With doubts in his heart, Mu Feng entered Mondstadt, the city of wind and pastoral songs, and the starting point of all the stories.
Tall stone walls surround small wooden houses in the style of medieval Western European manor houses. The houses are not tall and are arranged in layers, embracing the windmills that are slowly turning in the distance.
The statue of the wind god stands tall in the square, behind which stands the magnificent West Wind Cathedral and the main building of the Knights of Favonius.
The city gate where Mu Feng was located was a bustling place.
On the stone steps, Little Flora of "Flower Language" was burying her head, carefully tending to a Cecilia flower in a flowerpot.
Wagner, the blacksmith, swung his hammer and slammed it onto the anvil, sparks flying everywhere. Quen and Beatrice, on the other hand, seemed used to it and bickered amongst themselves.
A little further away is the Adventurers' Guild's small wooden building.
At this moment, receptionist Miss Catherine stood behind the counter with her hands at her sides and a smile on her face, seemingly ready to say to the visiting adventurers, "Towards the stars and the abyss."
The wind carries the scent of dandelions, the scent of dandelion wine, and the lands it touches are the homelands of freedom.
Even the frequent dragon calamities couldn't erase the smiles from the faces of the people of Mondstadt, a place that felt both familiar and welcoming.
Well, unfortunately, the wind brought not only the bards' songs, but also their heavy smell of alcohol.
Mu Feng awkwardly pushed a slightly drunk middle-aged man away from him, watching as the man picked up an empty flowerpot, put it on his head, and then staggered into the Angel's Gift.
Silence, silence is Mondstadt tonight.
In other words, he didn't enter the Cat's Tail Tavern, otherwise the bristling cat might have swatted him out with a single paw.
However, after this interruption, Mu Feng relaxed a bit. As it got late, it was time to find a place to stay.
The Goethe Hotel, that's the territory of the Fools.
Although Pepe and "Lady" Rosalyn have a decent relationship, going there rashly would inevitably cause trouble.
Angel's Gift, a common spawn point for Diluc, Kaeya, and Rosaria. This guy of unknown origin might just step into the tavern and be treated as the new Storm.
Oh, and there's also that eccentric bard.
As for seeking lodging with the Knights of Favonius, that's even more of a joke. Given Lawrence's strange behavior just now, if Mondstadt also has some kind of simulation, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?
After much deliberation, Mu Feng cautiously chose an inconspicuous little inn next to the Cat Tail Tavern.
The inn is not large. It is located on a narrow staircase behind the Cat's Tail Tavern, directly opposite the Adventurers' Guild. From the windows of the rooms, you can overlook the entire Mondstadt gate.
Mu Feng quickly and easily settled everything.
Of course, there are other benefits besides safety.
See, Cat Tail Tavern is great! Not only can you enjoy special cocktails and play Seven Sages Summoning to pass the time, but most importantly, you can also build a bond with the cats, right?
Ahem, as for what kind of cat, don't worry about that. Just tell me if you're trying to build a bond with a cat.
